Welcome to the Hugo Kauder Society
Embarking on Musical Journeys
Dear Friends,
Hugo Kauder's viola concerto has been restored! We are cooperating with Maestro Leon Botstein and violist Luosha Fang on an all-Kauder performance and recording. The program will tell the story of Hugo Kauder in musical terms and showcase the scope of his instrumental compositions. Emerging musicians of The Orchestra Now will rehearse with Luosha Fang.
Another exciting piece of news is about the former Hugo Kauder competition winner, oboist Ivan Danko: Ivan has been appointed as professor at the Bruckner University of Music in Linz, Austria. Earlier this month he played a number of Hugo Kauder pieces at his inaugural concert. He has launched a major Hugo Kauder research project with members of his department.
Last not least, hornist Emily Boyer played the Kleine Abendmusik, a melancholic horn solo, at the Neighborhood Music School in New Haven, CT. Musicians in the audience were excited to learn more about Hugo Kauder. We look forward to cooperating more with the Neighborhood Music School.
A brief reminder: on June 29th the Euclid Quartet and friends will perform Kauder's sextet at Music Mountain.It's the 100th anniversary of its premiere!
While we are working on these exciting endeavors we are busy with raising the funds to make these and all other plans happen. We would be utterly grateful if you join us in our fundraising campaign, May 7th and 8th are the big giving days.
Wishing you all a very happy spring!
Your Hugo Kauder Society team
