尋夢老上海-懷念「金嗓子」周璇
梅楣於舊金山家中匆匆筆2017
六年如梭,轉眼間研習學唱老上海歌曲七十多個月。為了更好的理解那時候的音樂,、廣播及電視節目。似煙花般寂寞絢麗的張愛玲,奇女子陸小曼,豐華絕代的林徽因,。最初的我只是為了解歷史而走進歷史去觀看和儘可能的尋找各種資料的心態,到如今我覺得瞭解每一個人的故事就是跟著她們走了一遍不同的人生。每一個人物都會讓我心動於她(他)們的智慧與才華,同時也為其悲情的結局而心碎和流淚......
在那個大動蕩的年代,文人,藝術家,電影工作者乃至社會各階層都是在風口浪尖上生存,在時代的巨浪裡面掙扎。亂世出英雄同時也成就了不一樣的名媛。越是多一點知道當時的人文就會更加尊崇和憐惜那時候的音樂家和歌者,在那樣一個變幻莫測的社會背景下他(她)們創造了中國流行音樂史上的第一個輝煌。
周璇這個叫起來很特別的名字是中國流行音樂史上的一塊金字招牌,她是現代最擅長利用話筒來傳聲歌唱的鼻祖。今次音樂會我選的最多的歌曲就是她的歌。周璇小姐的一生如煙花般燦爛奪目,卻又悲苦和短暫。我一直在想為什麼她經歷那麼多苦難卻還能唱出那麽溫暖人心的歌?曾有人問過歌仙陳歌辛如何評價周璇?陳老師用自己寫的那首歌來回答說:“花樣的年華,月樣的精神......”。我想這無疑是對周璇小姐人品的最高評價和肯定了。雖然她的聲音條件和歌唱技術層面並不是在老上海七大歌后裡排名榜首,但上天偏偏成就了她是唯一的金嗓子的稱號與榮耀。
周璇小姐在世的時候一直在尋找自己的親生父母,一直想知道自己是誰家的孩子?這種尋找的心情和我很像。從18歲做職業歌手開始一直在外的漂泊讓我覺得自己好像永遠是走在路上的人。我不知道哪裡才是自己的家?在廣州的時候我想回到故鄉蘭州就是自己的家,但當我真的回到蘭州的時候我發現一切都變了,我再也回不去了。相信這種感覺不只我一個人有,在海外的很多華人朋友都有這樣的感受,不知不覺美國這個他鄉已經變成了我們的故鄉......
一曲天涯歌女唱紅了周璇,也唱出了故事結局......哲學裡面有一個永恆的主題:我是誰?我從何處來?我要去哪裡?如今的我已經找到了答案,但願周璇在另一個未知的來生裡也已經尋找到了她想要的答案......
,為了給大家帶來更純正的視聽效果,整個團隊沿用了當年「上海百代唱片」的原版配樂,特別邀請了灣區第一流的室內交響樂團。就和當年一模一樣,歌唱者是中國人,伴奏者是老外,再現當年老上海的音韻風采。前輩藝術家們創造的輝煌不光是我們的驕傲,更需要我們將這美好的文化藝術傳承下去。2017/9/16,週六晚7點整舊金山美生劇院不見不散......

I am Kendra Vernon, a musician and teacher looking to nurture
musical creativity in people of all ages. My goal is to help students
develop their musical abilities by helping them learn how to ask
questions and think objectively about their practice and performing
habits. I believe that great teachers teach students to teach
themselves!
Since 2002, working with students to gain confidence and prowess in music has been a passion of mine. In addition to teaching, I perform regularly with the Redwood Tango Ensemble. I also work as a studio musician, recording on soundtracks for various independent films.
After graduating cum laude from Duquesne University’s Mary Pappert School of Music and the Duquesne Honors’ College with a degree in Violin Performance, my life took me out to California where I continue to teach and perform in various settings.
An award-winning violinist, Ishtar Hernandez has studied with
professors from top music schools around the world including (but not
limited to) the Royal Academy of Music, Juilliard, and Moscow
Conservatory. He underwent his Master’s studies in Violin Performance at
Western Michigan University where he was able to perform in concert
with such venerated artists as Paquito D’Rivera and Yo-Yo Ma, among
others. His credentials include tours in Austria, Germany, Italy, and
the U.K.
In addition to his classical studies and endeavors, Hernandez has toured Michigan as part of a five-piece string band specializing in bluegrass, jazz, and Americana. Their latest record was released in April of 2013 to positive reviews.
Sam N. is a native born South Dakotan who began his viola studies at the age of ten. He began taking private lessons at the age of fourteen with his teacher Carol Knowles. Eventually, he continued his studies in South Dakota with San Francisco Conservatory alumni Kate Weeks. Sam is a graduate of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music where he studied with Jodi Levitz. He has participated in master classes with Helen Callus, Jay Liu, Jonathan Vinocour, Jerzy Kosmala, Hank Dutt, William Goodwin, Jackie Schwandt, and Kelly Hall-Tompkins. Mr. N. was the principle violist of the South Dakota All State Orchestra from 2007-2009, principle violist of the J. Laiten Weed Honors Orchestra from 2008-2010, and a member of the Black Hills Symphony from 2006-2010. In 2008, he was the 1st prize winner of the Lucy Palermo Weed String Competition, and won South Dakota’s ASTA viola division. Two years later, he received the Henry Charles Smith Award in the SDSO’s Young Musician’s Competition, and also claimed 2nd prize in the BHSO’s Young Artist Competition. In 2011-2012, he was also invited in to the Orlando Chamber Soloists Apprentice Program. Sam is also the former principle violist of the San Francisco Youth Orchestra which toured Germany in the summer of 2012. Featured performances took place in the concert halls at the Gastieg in Munich and Berlin Philharmonic and at the Rheingau Musik Festival. In 2013-2014 Sam was the principle violist of the San Francisco Conservatory Orchestra. He currently performs all around the Bay Area as a soloist, chamber musician, and orchestral player. His main mission is to revive interest in Western Art Music so that is once again accessible to the every day human.
Being so fortunate to have studied with some of the greatest and
most influential musicians of our time, it is my philosophy and need as
a teacher to pass on the rich traditions, powerful stories and in depth
knowledge of ‘music making’ to as many inquisitive minds as I can. My
name is Gabriel Beistline and I have just graduated from Rice University
obtaining my Masters degree in cello performance. I was a student of
Lynn Harrell’s at Rice. I received my Bachelors degree in cello
performance from the New England Conservatory of music in Boston, MA
under Yeesun Kim, cellist in the acclaimed Borromeo string quartet. I
had a large studio of cello students while in Boston and Houston and am
beginning to fill my studio in San Francisco. My schedule is flexible
and rates, negotiable of course. I specialize in teaching highly
advanced, pre-college teenagers, but love teaching anyone! I have taught
many complete beginners to advanced (or novice) adults. There is no
person who should be deprived of their ability to learn music. I focus,
of course, on technique however I like to incorporate music appreciation
into the lessons as well. I show the student how to listen to the music
and subsequently how to play it. If you are interested in lessons for
your child, I have had many parents tell me that learning music has
improved their child’s ability to focus in school and resulted in higher
grades and achievements. Learning music simply makes you smarter! If
you are an adult, many of my former students say it is a great way to
relieve stress and unwind after work. Lessons provide a creative outlet
for expression on a weekly basis and will pull you into the powerfully
inspiring world that is music.
