CONCERTS IN EMBASSIES AND AMBASSADORS' RESIDENCES

Dear Friends,

Our next 3 available concerts feature 3 outstanding pianists:  January 29, March 12 and March 22.  You should make an effort to hear all three of them. All concerts have been sold out up until then and now is a good time to secure your tickets to guarantee a place.

Friday, January 29:  Embassy of Austria- (Schubert Birthday Celebration)-

www.dcjazz.com/4B2C9530.jpg

Matthias Soucek, piano in a mostly Schubert program. You can hear him play on our  website.  It is nothing short of extraordinary.

Matthias Soucek was awarded several prizes in both national and international competitions, including two consecutive top prizes in the International Beethoven Piano Competition Vienna.  He was given special praise for his "musicality and intelligence woven together in a delicate equilibrium."-- $50/reception

Winning First Prize in the International Brahms Piano Competition in Hamburg and being the first Austrian and youngest winner in the history of the competition, Matthias Soucek established himself as an outstanding young concert pianist.

In 2006 he gave his debut performance in Golden Hall of The Musikverein Vienna with the first piano concerto by Tchaikovsky with the Brno Philharmonic Orchestra.

His new CD series of Beethoven sonatas was launched by the label Gramola in March, 2008, starting with the sonatas op. 31/2 "The Tempest," op 27/2 "Moonlight" and op. 13 "Pathétique. Future concert performances will include concert tours to Taiwan, Manila and the United States.

Matthias Soucek is a regular guest at worldwide renowned festivals such as Schubertiade Schwarzenberg, Carinthian Summer, Klangbogen Vienna, Chopin Festival Valldemossa, Festival Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Summer Festival Bratislava, International Chopin Festival Gaming.  He has had various performances in famous concert halls such as the Musikverein Wien, Wiener Konzerthaus, Stefaniensaal Graz, Royal Dublin Society Concert Hall, Auditorium de Zaragoza, Slovakian Philharmonic Hall and Casals Hall Tokyo, taking him to Germany,m Belgium, Italy, Spain, France, Ireland, Czech Republic, Poland, Russia and Switzerland, as well as overseas to Japan, Taiwan, China, the Philippines, Argentina, Brazil and the United States.


Friday, March 12:  Embassy of Ukraine with Inna Faliks, piano.  Faliks holds her Doctorate in Piano Performance from Stony Brook University, her Bachelors and Masters in Piano Performance from Peabody Conservatory, and her Artist Diploma from the Accademia Pianistica Internazionale in Imola, Italy.  She debuted with the Chicago Symphony at 15 and performed worldwide with orchestras, in recitals, and with conductors such as Leonard Slatkin and Keith Lockhart.  Critics praise her for her "courage to take risks, expressive intensity and technical perfection" (General Anzeiger, Bonn), "poetry and panoramic vision" (Washington Post) and riveting passion, playfulness" (Baltimore Sun).  The first prize winner of the International Pro Musicis Award 2005, she gave recitals in Carnegie Hall, Paris's Salle Cortot, Metropolitan Museum and many others.  Other prizes include International first prizes in Hilton Head Competition, St. Charles Competition, etc.  She has performed in Verbier, Bargemusic, Brevard, and other important music festivals and was featured on television and radio worldwide.-- $75/buffet dinner (very limited tickets)


Monday, March 22:  Embassy of Austria- (All-Beethoven piano sonatas)- Till Fellner, piano.- all-Beethoven.

In his performance of Mozart's piano concerto No. 18 in B flat, Fellner confirmed his standing among the foremost keyboard virtuosi of the day;  exact, limpid and feather-fingered, he exquisitely conveyed the sense of yearning haunting the andante and cruised effortlessly through the teasing syncopations of the closing allegro.  Hidden away in the audience, applauding vigorously, was no less a figure than Alfred Brendel, a proud teacher taking due pride in a prize pupil. -  New York Times, 2009 --$50/reception

FOR YOUR HOLIDAY GIFTS, TICKETS TO THE EMBASSY SERIES ARE  PERFECT.  CALL US!

Please remember The Embassy Series for your end-of-year tax-exempt contribution.  It will be very much appreciated.  "Friends" receive many benefits.

Warmest regards, Jerome Barry, Artistic Director/Founder, The Embassy Series

We get what we pay for!

By Sami Bishara Mashney

For The Independent Monitor

November 27, 2009

 

For almost three long years now, I have been publishing The Independent Monitor newspaper. The main purpose of publishing the newspaper is to help our besieged Arab Americans community bridge the chronic and widening gap of information between us and those who do not wish us well and want us to continue to be politically and economically powerless.

 

On a daily basis, we are defamed and maligned by our so-called “mainstream” media, be it newspapers, magazines, radio, television, etc. Meanwhile, we stand-by idle without being able to respond and more importantly, proactively narrate our own news and views, the way we see it—unfiltered by Zionist influence.

 

To help overcome this giant informational deficit that adversely impacts our community, I started publishing in the hope that, by the passage of time, members of our community would see in the newspaper an important resource that benefits our community and acts as a stepping stone to bigger and better media endeavors for us. The ultimate goal is for us to eventually be able to run media empires like CNN, Fox News, etc.

 

Every month, every member of the US House of Representatives, US Senate, many other elected and appointed officials, as well as thousands of fellow Americans, receive a complimentary copy of the newspaper. This month, the US House will be shamed to be poignantly reminded, on the front page of The Independent Monitor, that a few weeks ago, the US House overwhelmingly voted to whitewash the Israeli war crimes perpetrated on the imprisoned Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip of Occupied Palestine. Our so-called “mainstream” media was conspiratorially silent on this important political development. We, however, are doing what we can to shed light on this as well as other important news items that affect our community.

 

Although newspapers are made from trees, newspapers do not grow on trees. As we all know, publishing costs money and requires support from readers and advertisers for it to remain afloat. Every month, we print 12,000 issues. We mail more than three thousand issues to individual homes, businesses and institutional addresses. Moreover, we ship UPS boxes containing 25 issues to about 220 retail stores, clubs, and religious institutions in 19 states. The rest of the 12,000 issues are distributed by a driver in more than 300 stores and institutions throughout Southern California.

 

Almost on a daily basis, I am told by fellow members of our community that I am “doing a great job on the newspaper,” “keep up the good work,” “I really like your articles,” “your newspaper keeps getting better and more professional with each new issue,” and so on and so forth. Then I painfully remember that most of those people do not subscribe to or materially support the newspaper!

 

Recently, one friend told me: “Sami, I really Looovvve your newspaper! I always look for your article. It’s the only thing I read in the newspaper. I am disappointed that you have not written an article for the past three issues.” I bit my tongue, and did not tell him: “WHY DON’T YOU SUBSCRIBE IF YOU LIKE THE NEWSPAPER THAT MUCH!” Instead, I explained in a subdued manner that time pressures make it not possible for me to write an article in each issue.

 

Needless to say, our community has a serious problem in that we are all wishfully hoping that we are treated respectfully by the media and society at large, while at the same time, the overwhelming majority of us are neither doing anything about it, nor supporting those of us who do! This is despite the fact that a one-year subscription to the newspaper is about the same price for dinner for two or half the price of the ticket to see Cheb Khaled or Nancy Ajram. Boy, do we have our priorities straight.

 

We get what we pay for!

 

The writer is an American attorney of Palestinian descent and is the publisher of The Independent Monitor, the national newspaper of Arab Americans.

Holiday Pot luck Dinner ...   Is anyone interested in the possibility of a
holiday potluck dinner, Sunday the December 20th?  Dianne Lorenz, a member of
SERVAS, IMCW and DC International Connection is willing to open her home in
Bethesda that late afternoon-early evening.   There will be a limit of 15 people
at the dinner due to space limitations.  We would also ask that you bring a
piece of clothing or a blanket for a homeless person in Greater DC.  Dianne and
I will distribute these.  I usually am away with family at this time of the
year, but find myself staying here this year.  It would be nice to share the
holiday season with like minded, spiritual friends.  I am also open to doing
something, in addition to the 20th, on the evening of the 24th or the 25th
itself.   Namaste,  Karl Wolf...wolfytoo@....

Dear World Affairs Council Members and Friends,

The World Affairs Council of Washington, DC is conducting its annual year-end fundraising campaign. As we continue to engage and inform the American public about the crucial international issues of our time, I invite you to support these educational programs and activities by making a tax-deductible contribution today.

Your gift will help the Council to continue and expand our global education programs - including the Foreign Policy series, the Summer Institute on International Affairs for high school educators, the Youth Leadership forums for high school students in the DC metropolitan area, and the Distinguished Speaker series. Read about the Council's latest Youth Forum by clicking here.

For 30 years, the World Affairs Council of Washington, DC has worked to educate the public and the next generation about the critical issues facing the United States and the world.   In 2009 alone, over 1,000 students in the DC metropolitan area directly benefited from Council programs, while high school educators from across the country were better prepared to equip their students for the challenges of the 21st century by attending the 2009 Summer Institute focused on "International Institutions in an Unstable World".

Please make your year-end tax-deductible contribution by clicking here. (You will be directed to a secure donations portal on the council's website.)

The World Affairs Council is a 501(c)3 organization. (Tax ID# 52-1192057) Your gift is tax-deductable to the full extent allowed by law.

                Serving the people of New York's Sixth Congressional District has been          the focus of Congressman Gregory W. Meeks' eleven year          tenure in the U.S. House of Representatives. During that time he has            earned the respect of his constituents, as well as both Democrats and           Republicans in Congress and in New York, as an effective, common-sense          leader who gets things done. The economic vitality and wellbeing of the         Sixth Congressional District stays front and center for Congressman             Meeks who sits on two important and prominent committees in the House:          the Financial Services Committee and the Foreign Affairs Committee.
               
                Congressman Meeks is a senior member of the House Financial Services            Committee, and is the Chairman of the Subcommittee on International             Monetary Policy and Trade. He also serves on the Subcommittee on                Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit, and Subcommittee on Domestic                Monetary Policy and Technology. Additionally, he has been appointed by          Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (MA-4) as the                Committee's designee on the House Working Group on Sovereign Wealth             Funds. A critical committee for the state of New York, the Financial            Services Committee oversees all components of the nation's housing and          financial services sectors including banking, insurance, real estate,           public and assisted housing, and securities. The Committee continually          reviews the laws and programs relating to the U.S. Department of Housing                and Urban Development, the Federal Reserve Bank, the Federal Deposit            Insurance Corporation, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and international            development and finance agencies such as the World Bank and the         International Monetary Fund.
               
                Congressman Meeks serves as a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs                Committee where he sits on the Subcommittee on Asia, the Pacific and            Global Environment, Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, and         Subcommittee on Africa and Global Health. At a time when the world is           more interconnected than ever before, the Foreign Affairs Committee has         an important role to play. The Committee is responsible for oversight           and legislation relating to: foreign assistance; the Peace Corps;               national security developments affecting foreign policy; strategic              planning and agreements; war powers, treaties, executive agreements, and                the deployment and use of United States Armed Forces; peacekeeping,             peace enforcement, and enforcement of United Nations or other           international sanctions; arms control and disarmament issues; the United                States Agency for International Development; activities and policies of         the State, Commerce and Defense Departments and other agencies related          to the Arms Export Control Act, and the Foreign Assistance Act.
               
                Congressman Meeks seeks to promote policies that strengthen America's           economic and national security and build relationships with other               nations in a more globalized world. He is a strong supporter of         diplomacy and as such is a co-chair of the Dialogue Caucus in the House         of Representatives. He also co-chairs the Services Caucus to promote the                advancement of trade in services, and the Organization of American              States Caucus to facilitate a stronger, more cooperative hemisphere.
               
                Congressman Meeks earned his bachelor's degree at Adelphi University and                he received his law degree from Howard University. He is a member of the                Allen AME Church in St. Albans New York and is a member of Alpha Phi            Alpha Fraternity. He is married to Simone-Marie Meeks and has three             daughters - Ebony, Aja, and Nia-Ayana.

    Most of America is preparing to observe Thanksgiving, but in recognition of that day (known as YANKSGIVING to some), of the history behind it and the history that continues to unfold in its wake, Mr. Jay Winter Nightwolf, outspoken American Indian spokesman, advocate, sachem and broadcasting host, and his posse are preparing their annual special broadcast for that day.


    The broadcast will take three hours - 9:00 AM until 12:00 noon, Eastern US time - over WPFW FM 89.3, heard on the air in the Washington, DC region, and around the world by internet streaming from the station at this link:

                         http://www.wpfw.org


    I invite you to listen, and to share this news with others - the need to get people educated and knowledgeable is as great as ever.  This broadcast will be valuable to all, and especially to teachers and others who share knowledge and wisdom, and to our young people, who will be guardians of this knowledge - and its lessons - for decades into the future.


    Jay has other special broadcasts from time to time, in addition to his weekly program over WPFW.  He is also working on his annual fundraising and supplies drive in behalf of people on the bleak Rosebud and Pine Ridge reservations in South Dakota.


    For details on these and other Nightwolf activities at any time; to read Jay's seasonal message; and to see his blog or to contact him personally, please visit the Apples 'n Oranges Intercultural Cafe on Geotrees.Com regularly at:

                  http://www.geotrees.com/cafe.html


    Thanks for listening!  May next year's Yanksgiving find more for American Indians, and indeed, peaceloving peoples everywhere, to be thankful for.


In peace,

Charles Stevenson

Friday - November 20: "BALALAIKA" Group Concert – Russian-American Thanksgiving
Celebration, straight from Russia's Regions

"Balalaika" will perform a three part performance at the Russian Cultural Centre
at Russian Cultural Centre Friday, November 20th and will be one of the greatest
events in Washington's cultural life that week. Four Russian performers will
present classic Russian balalaika songs, then a rendition of American pop and
country songs on the balalaika and finally a unique set of folk music and songs
from the village life of Russia.

In Russia, the balalaika is a symbol of peace and prosperity, which is why
musicians from the very heart of Russia, Maxim Fisyn, Vladimir Politov, and
Miroslav Ilnytsky formed the group "BALALAIKA" in 1996.

The creative palette of this group is diverse, combining Russian folk music with
original work of modern classic composers as well as popular and even country
music, thus showing the unlimited possibilities of balalaika. Originality of
interpretation, stylistic precision, emotionality and invention, humor and
artistic taste—are all combined to create this unique image of the group. A
special feature of this show is when the group will arrange an interactive part
of the show in which the audience will have a chance to join in.
