IHEARIC VIDEOS: A Cover of Philip Glass, A Wind Trio, and Some Funk

Thanks to Justin K Comer for providing information on who the musicians are.







The week we present three shorter videos from the IHearIC YouTube channel, two classical and one funk.
The first is a live of "Knee Play 5", a song from Philip Glass's opera, "Einstein on the Beach". It features Jared Fowler on keyboard and Megan Karls on violin. Unfortunately, we don't know who the speaker was.

"In 2011 Jared Fowler completed his master’s degree in String Performance under the direction of Volkan Orhon. From 2009-2011 he held the position of Teacher’s Assistant for the Jazz Studies program, and maintained an active and varied performance schedule inside and outside of the university. Jared collaborated widely in many genres performing in live-sound installations, Brazilian jazz trios, and onstage with the Des Moines, Dubuque and Waterloo Symphonies.

"In 2009, Jared initiated the IHearIC concert series, a fast-paced show that presents performances by UI music students and local musicians. In 2011, the project was awarded an Iowa Arts grant funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.

"Currently based in Los Angeles, Jared works as the Instructional Assistant of Music at the LA Harbor College. You can learn more at: www.jaredfowler.com/"

"Megan Karls delights in her fifth season with the Cascade Quartet and as Principal Second Violin of the Great Falls Symphony. She also enjoys performing across the state of Montana with the String Orchestra of the Rockies, Festival Amadeus, Yellowstone Chamber Players, Billings Symphony, and occasionally as concertmaster with the Bozeman Symphony and Intermountain Opera. Before moving to Montana, Megan previously held positions across the US and abroad including the Wichita, KS, Green Bay, WI, Des Moines, IA and Assisi, Italy symphony orchestras.

"Megan is a founding member of the contemporary music ensemble, the Enid Trio. The Enids have commissioned over 25 new works for their unique instrumentation (violin, viola and bassoon) and have been guest artists and clinicians at Oberlin Conservatory, Lawrence University, Northern Illinois University, Wichita State University, Roundtop, Society for Electroacoustic Music in the US, and various conferences across America.

"A passionate educator, Megan spends her summers on the faculty at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp (MI), Superior String Alliance camp (MI), and Camp Festival Amadeus (MT). She holds degrees with honors from Lawrence University and the University of Iowa in both political science and music."

The wind trio featured Marjorie Shearer on clarinet, Meghan Woodard on oboe, Stephanie Willow Patterson on bassoon.

"Marjorie began playing the clarinet at the age of 11. Growing up in Central Florida, she studied with the principal clarinetist of the Orlando Philharmonic, who remains the most influential person in shaping her musical career.

"Marjorie earned a Bachelors degree in Music Performance from University of Florida, a Masters degree in Music Performance from Northern Illinois University, and is currently pursuing her education further at the University of Iowa where she is a Doctoral candidate and the graduate teaching assistant. She also works at Oaknoll as a recreation aide."

"Oboist and English horn player, Meghan Woodard is an active freelance performer and teacher in the greater Philadelphia area. She currently teaches oboe students at Temple University, Haverford College, and Bryn Mawr College. In November 2015 Meghan was a featured soloist with the Temple University Wind Symphony, performing the Concerto for Oboe and Wind Band by Lukas Foss (arr. Rhoads)—a piece that she also edited for a new edition with PeerMusic Classical. Meghan was also a founding member and manager of the Philadelphia-based woodwind quintet, Federal Winds, whom she performed several unique concerts with in 2016 as part of the 'Project Stream Grant' awarded by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.

"In the orchestral world, Meghan has recently performed with Symphony in C, the Wilmington Ballet Orchestra, and the Prometheus Chamber Orchestra. Previously, Meghan was a member of the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony Orchestra in Cedar Falls, Iowa from 2012 to 2013; before that she performed as Co-Principal Oboe with the Norwalk Symphony Orchestra in Norwalk, Connecticut from 2009 to 2010. She has subbed with orchestras in Pennsylvania, Iowa, Connecticut, and New York since 2007."

"Her primary bassoon gurus have been Professors George Sakakeeny, Nicolasa Kuster, Scott Oakes and Benjamin Coelho though she has also dabbled in improvisation under the direction of jazz bassoonist Paul Hansen, and studied in St. Petersburg, Russia with Igor Gerasimov. She holds degrees in music and Russian language from the Oberlin Conservatory and College, Wichita State University, and a Doctorate in Musical Arts from the University of Iowa...

"Crossing genres with performances in costume, she has performed Michael Daugherty’s Dead Elvis at the Wichita Knob Festival at the FischHaus art gallery, and In Freundschaft by Stockhausen for bassoon-playing teddy bear. She has performed in Carnegie Hall, on the busy streets of Moscow, on the pedestrian malls of Madrid, in the gilded Kappella hall in St. Petersburg, inside a medieval church in Prague, for low-income afterschool programs in Alaska, with Pierre Boulez at the Kunstmuseum Luzern, atop a gallows at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, in a room with speakers on all sides and below the audience, and in the mountains of North Carolina."

"reldnips and Mr. Ting met as music students at the University of Iowa. They both had a deep passion for music, but the traditional musical curriculum had been leaving them with a stiff neck like a bad night of sleep. Their first venture was beginning a funky group called The BBQ Mansion Brass Band. The group was successful but only lasted for one semester. Meanwhile, both had been working on music on their own. reldnips was writing raps and making beats. Mr. Ting was making synth fueled dance tracks. After one summer break the two knew that they had to collaborate and form a single effort. The goal of the group is to create music that's funky and danceable, driven by an inescapable groove. They bring a unique sound to a contemporary style with the use of trombone and sousaphone. By incorporating effects, the duo turns these traditional instruments into tools for funking and grooving into the future of contemporary music styles. If it's not fun, what's the point? Let reldnips and Mr. Ting put the funk back in the joint."
