Jon
Korngold, a former senior leader at General Atlantic, joined Blackstone in January 2019 to lead the business.
The orchestra, under the baton of newly appointed music director Timothy Semanik, will play favorite themes from the movies, including Erich
Korngold's "The Sea Hawk: Suite for Orchestra," Aaron Copland's "Our Town," and the familiar scores of John Williams.
Blackstone (NYSE:BX) has said that it has appointed Jon
Korngold as a senior managing director and head of its Growth Equity investing platform.
The 1920 opera by Erich Wolfgang
Korngold enjoyed immense popularity in its time, though it was later banned by the National Socialists in Germany for its Jewish origins.
All five women singers gave the appreciative audience committed performances of an array of works by composers ranging from Mozart to
Korngold.
And they also championed previously neglected masterpieces by composers such as Enescu, Martinu, Chausson, Farrenc,
Korngold and Vaughan Williams.
It was astonishing to see this rare piece in a perfect evening which also contained the theme from the 1938 film of Robin Hood by the wonderful Erich
Korngold who fled the rise of Nazism to find success in Hollywood.
Two composers dominated the evening: Erich
Korngold and John Williams.
Alice
Korngold, author of A Better World, Inc: How Companies Profit by Solving Global Problems...Where Governments Cannot, said, "It's multinational corporations, and not governments or nonprofits, that have the human and financial capital, advanced technology, international footprint, market power and financial motivation to solve the world's most daunting problems."
The night will begin with
Korngold's suite from "Much Ado About Nothing." Guest soloist and acclaimed clarinetist David Shifrin will perform Berio's arrangement of Brahms' free- spirited Sonata in F Minor for Clarinet.
During the years of socialist system (1944-1991), the Albanian government suppressed the Kanun and its influence (Arsovska & Verduyn, 2008; Celik & Shkreli, 2010;
Korngold, 2016; Tepshi, 2015), while blood feud was almost eradicated due to law enforcement and severe sentences (Arsovska & Verduyn, 2008; De Waal, 2005; Jashari, 2009).
