IHEARIC VIDEOS: Two Classical Performances and Dana Telsrow Too!







We once again present some videos from the IHearIC channel on YouTube. We present two classical pieces, one tuba solo and another ensemble piece, and a performance of more popular music on acoustic guitar.

The first video features Kate Wohlman on tuba. The second features Nathaniel Lee on trombone with support from Kate Wohlman and other musicians. The third features Dan Telsrow, a mainstay of the Iowa music scene for a few years now.





"A native of the United Kingdom, Kate began performing at an early age on piano, voice, and trumpet. After spending five years as a chorister she gained a further scholarship to study tuba at Wells Cathedral School for her high school years. During this time she was a concerto soloist at St David’s Hall, Cardiff, regional finalist of the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition, and toured with the National Youth Wind Orchestra of Great Britain.

"During four years of study in Manchester Kate performed with a number of local brass bands and orchestras, and studied tuba with James Gourlay, Ewan Easton and Brian Kingsley. She also performed regularly in masterclasses for Roger Bobo, Mel Culbertson, Roland Szentpali and trumpeter Hakan Hardenberger. Kate holds undergraduate degrees from Manchester University and the Royal Northern College of Music, along with a Masters in Tuba Performance and a Masters in Music Theory from Penn State University. She studied tuba with Velvet Brown and was the 2009 winner of the PSU Wind Ensemble Concerto Competition.

"Kate completed her Doctor of Musical Arts degree at the University of Iowa, studying with Professor John Manning and Dr David Gier. While in Iowa City she was Musical Director of the Eastern Iowa Brass Band, Vintage Brass, and Collegium Tubum. She was winner of the 2013 GPRTEC Tuba Artist competition. She is a former board member of the North American Brass Band Association Board of Directors.

"Kate is currently employed as the Salvation Army's Regional Music Director for the National Capital Area (Washington DC), where she instructs and coordinates multiple K-12 programs. Kate is a member of Brass of the Potomac, the Athena Brass Band, the National Capital Band, and the Rappahannock Pops Orchestra."

"Nathaniel Lee is the Lecturer of Trombone at the University of Virginia and serves as Principal Trombone of the Charlottesville & University Symphony Orchestra.

In addition to his duties at UVa and the Charlottesville Symphony, Nathaniel is a founding member of the American Trombone Quartet. ATQ actively performs and host clinics at universities and conferences across the country. In 2017 ATQ has performed recitals at the Big 12 Conference, TX; Western Carolina University, NC; and at International Trombone Festival in Redlands, CA. Locally Nathaniel continues to maintains an active freelance career having performed with the Richmond Symphony, Staunton Music Festival, Castleton Music Festival, Ash Lawn Opera, Virginia Oratorio Society and the Virginia Sinfonietta.

"Before his appointment at the University of Virginia, Nathaniel was pursuing a Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Trombone Performance and Brass Pedagogy at the University of Iowa, where he was awarded the 2013 Downbeat Magazine Award for Outstanding Graduate Soloist. During his studies at the New England Conservatory, Nathaniel was selected by Lorin Maazel to perform as trombonist in the Castleton Music Festival. As part of the Castleton Orchestra, Nathaniel performed in the Royal Opera House in Muscat, Oman and in the Virginia and D.C. area.

"Nathaniel earned his Master of Music degree in Trombone Performance from New England Conservatory and a Bachelor of Music Performance degree from Virginia Commonwealth University." - from his page on The University of Virginia website

"It’s only hearsay, but Dana T is the bandleader for a late-night talk show that films in an alternate universe Studio 54. Carl Sagan is a guest every night. Catering is mostly dragonfruit. It’s all very casual, yet very intense.

"The other rumors are true: Dana T makes delightfully odd music that “draws you in, even as it baffles you.” (Little Village Magazine, Nov. 2015). The sonic trademarks are horns and strings fighting alongside melodic, Motown bass-lines. The drumming is frenetic and the guitar parts are shape-shifting monsters, fuzzed-to-heck riffs one moment and a clean spank the next.

"It’s an arrangement style that isn’t too far from early Scott Walker or the Beach Boys, but the sound itself is a lush funk, a series of ethereally pretty vocals slinging it all together on the griddle. There’s a chaotic sort of satisfaction and kismet to it all, as if questions and answers have been written on separate scraps of paper, hurled in the air, and correctly landed on top of one another.

"His birthday is October 13, 1990. On his 12th birthday, Nelly had the #1 song in America—and, yet, Dana T still felt the need to make music. So he did. He even got a degree in it from the University of Iowa. With his day-job at Flat Black Studios in Iowa City and the generosity of his talent and personality, it’s safe to say he’s been able to cherry-pick from the region’s best musicians in building his wall of groove.

"Since 2012, he’s been traveling the USA performing solo and with counterculture weirdo saxophonist Curt Oren by his side. His debut record, tiny mind MASSIVE soul, was released in early 2016. The follow-up, Harsh Forever, is another album of ever-evolving, darkly cosmic disco coming out in the spring 2018."
