In 2010 Dianne created and performed her comedy show Dianne Davies Has Fallen Off Her Bench and in 2016\, she created\, produced\, and performed a new show titled Attachments & Detachments–Tragedy to Triumph combining the music of Cascadia Composers\, the Northwest Regions chapter of NACUSA (National Association of Composers USA)\, with dance\, live art\, and theatre to tell her own transparent story. In 2016\, Dianne also began composing pieces for piano students. Since 2018\, her student compositions have been performed each year at PSU in the Cascadia sponsored concert\, In Good Hands\, that connects living composers with young music students. Most recently\, in December 2019 she produced another show with all her own compositions and arrangements for Christmas titled Soli Deo Gloria. Dianne created and performed original piano solo pieces\, piano solo arrangements of Chopin Nocturnes fused with traditional carols (Romantic Christmas Suite)\, as well as a violin & piano duet\, violin & cello duet\, vocal solos and choral works. Again\, she collaborated with live dancers and multi-media visual artist Collin Murphy.

SUMMARY:Grant Event - Acquiring Aural Skills: Listening Deeply
DESCRIPTION:Location: Zoom\, for access and more information please contact Rebecca Gooch.\nPresenting District: Mid-Columbia\nPresenter: Dr. Johnandrew Slominski[expand title=”Read Presenter Bio” swaptitle=” “]American pianist Johnandrew Slominski enjoys a distinguished reputation as a performer and pedagogue. He has been hailed as “a remarkable\, brilliant\, and gifted pianist” (Chautauquan Daily)\, commended for performing with “a great deal of intellect” (89.9 KBPS Portland)\, and recognized for his communicative performance: “I was profoundly moved by his performance…He has a musicianship that transcends his youthfulness.” (Eye on Sun Valley). His 2016 San Francisco concert debut\, presented by the New Piano Collective\, earned praise as “awe-inspiring” and “ear-opening” from Stephen Smoliar of the San Francisco Examiner. Slominski seamlessly navigates the landscape of a varied and thriving career as a soloist\, chamber musician\, music theorist\, author\, pedagogue\, and speaker. Highlights of his current season include a solo CD released on the Centaur Records label\, an all-Schubert disc with soprano Kayleen Sánchez released on the Soundset Recordings label\, performances of concerti by Mozart and Schumann\, and more than a dozen speaking and teaching engagements in the United States and Asia.\nSlominski earned three degrees from the Eastman School of Music by age 21\, and was unanimously nominated for the Jerald R. Graue Musicology Fellowship and the Eastman Performer’s Certificate; his first professorship followed at age 23. He has held faculty positions as a pianist and music theorist at the Eastman School of Music\, Sunderman Conservatory at Gettysburg College\, Virginia Commonwealth University\, and Linfield University. He is the founding director of Classical Music on the Spot (an institute for eighteenth-century improvisation)\, a co-founder of the San Francisco International Piano Festival\, and a founding faculty member of the Rebecca Penneys Piano Festival at the University of South Florida. He earned the Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the Eastman School of Music. Slominski is a New Piano Collective artist.[/expand]\nProgram Description: The composer and pianist Robert Schumann[expand title=”Read More” swaptitle=” “]wrote in 1848 that\, “You must get to the point that you can hear music from the page. …A perfect musician should be able to picture a piece\, at first hearing…as though he had the score in front of him.” This workshop\, facilitated by Dr. Slominski\, former theory and aural skills faculty at the Eastman School of Music\, opens a conversation about teaching and learning through a nuanced aural curriculum. Skills discussed include sight-singing\, solfege and solmization\, dictation\, playing by ear\, improvisation\, and more.[/expand]
