nowsports have always made a scene in Vail, but this season the Winter Teva Mountain Games are taking local adventure to new heights. In its inaugural year, the games will be held in Vail Feb. 1012, and will highlight a combination of unique and classic winter mountain sport competitions that are sure to raise the goggles of athletes and spectators alike. “It’s always been in the plans for us to bring a winter event back in Vail,” said Shelley Woodworth of the Vail Valley Foundation, organizers of the Winter Teva Mountain Games presented by Eddie Bauer. “Since the summer games are so magical, we just thought it would be a natural fit to try and recreate that vibe in the winter.” Amateur and professional athletes will display talents on snowy bike tracks and elevated ski jumps, vertical climbing routes and cross-country Nordic and snowshoe courses. Competition in the variety of sports will give participating athletes a chance to win $60,000 in total prize money.
BIKE +The base of Vail Mountain will be upping the ante on moun-
tain biking during these winter games. The Teva Best Trick Bike will feature riders flying through the high mountain air before coming to land on a slick and snowy surface. The jump lips built for the summer games are 20 to 25 feet, but the largest jump at this event will have a lip that’s 60 feet. Jeff Lenosky is a professional freeride and trials mountain bike racer and the course designer for the Teva Best Trick Bike. He said it will be an impressive event, even compared to the bike jumps at the Teva Mountain Games in the summer. “It’s going to be a great show,” Lenosky said. “It will be the first time you’ve ever had a competition like this on snow in Vail.” The games will also hold the Teva On-Snow Bike Crit, featuring a fast and snowy course that covers the lower areas of Vail Mountain, as well as the Teva Dual Slalom Bike, where mountain bikers will ride fat tires on a speed descent down Golden Peak.

Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival announces lineup for its 2012 anniversary season | 14
Another nice snowstorm blanketed Vail and Beaver Creek last Thursday night, into Friday… and it just keeps on keepin’ on! Two of my coworkers love playing pingpong. They play at work nearly every day —at least four times a day — and they are pretty darn good at it, too. They played in the Vail Symposium’s SpinVail tournament last week; both played well but lost in late rounds of singles play. Kip teamed up with Pedro Alvarez to win the “A Doubles Draw” over the two-day tourney … awesome table tennis action at a very high level of play! Nice work! All my ski stuff is in Vail, which means I always ALWAYS ski Vail Mountain. But this past weekend I skied Beaver Creek for the first time in, oh, I’m guessing four or five years: I found amazing views of the Gore Range and a very fun place to ski. I had forgotten … or maybe I just never really knew. Back at Vail, it was an awesome sight on Sunday afternoon as more than 300 skiers and snowboarders dressed in pink shirts, many with pink boas around their necks, gathered at PHQ to ride down Northwoods and the entire Chair 11 area, taking “Turns for Taft,” honoring the spirit of Taft Conlin. Been on a roll, dining out a whole lot recently. The wood-oven-roasted Maine lobster at Splendido is something special: Treat yourself — Susan Sarandon did. The fondue bourguignonne at Sonnenalp’s Swiss Chalet is outstanding. The alfredo sauce over cheese tortellini at Two Elk Restaurant is delish. My brother was in town last week and raves about the breakfast burrito and 12-ounce Blue Bottle drip at Northside Coffee & Kitchen. The French dip sandwich and chicken soup are not to be missed at Vail Mountain’s newest restaurant, The 10th. Don’t miss out on a great lunch at the Blue Plate in Avon and did I mention the barbecue brisket sandwich at Kirby Cosmo’s in Minturn?

Tuscan style,

VISTA IS THE VALLEY’S NEWEST LIVE MUSIC HOT SPOT
at
Vista at Arrowhead By Wren Wertin
WREN@VAILDAILY.COM
These days, “Vail’s Piano Man” Micky Poage is found a few miles downvalley in Arrowhead. The saucy, sassy, plays-everything piano man has taken up residence at Vista at Arrowhead. Monday through Saturday evenings he plays in the bar to an inevitably full room. Poage is able to roll with it — “it” being everything from Billy Joel to Frank Sinatra, Henry Mancini to Andrew Lloyd Webber. He sits at his piano and moves to his own music, tossing out big band standards, musical numbers and classics both old and new. Folks occasionally wander up to the bar and begin singing along. Sometimes they’re “never-evers” new to the restaurant and to Poage. Usually, though, they’re people who have sung with Poage before, be it high-school students interested in the performing arts or old friends, both local and outof-towners, who’ve been fans of his for the past three decades. A man with a million best friends, Poage’s got an uncanny ability to remember people’s names, even if he only sees them once a year on their ski holiday. “The energy is just fantastic,” says Janine Glennon, who owns Vista with her husband, Michael Glennon. Though people often love to sit right next to Poage in the “inner circle” of tables around him, the music can be heard throughout the restaurant. It starts off friendly, perfect for an accompaniment to dinner. But as the evening goes on, people loosen up and the energy kicks into high gear. The consummate entertainer, Poage works the entire room and he never leaves his piano.

Entertainment is a big draw, but for people to come back several times a week they need a little something to nosh on. Though there’s a pub menu available, Michael’s menu of Tuscan-style cuisine has its own fan club. The roasted pear and mascarpone-filled purses are a standout on the appetizer list — little pasta purses with sweet and creamy interiors, tossed with sage, brown butter and balsamic. The ricotta pancakes — made almost entirely out of house-made ricotta with a little binder in the way of egg and a dusting of flour —are hearty enough to share. The braised duck atop them comes swimming in Palisade tomatoes that the chefs snatched in the height of tomato season and cooked down to last the winter long. Chef Michael has been serving his braised lamb shank since the restaurant was located over in Avon. A winter-only staple, the tender-as-can-be lamb finds appropriate plate-mates in the chiantilamb gravy and roasted winter vegetable puree. “There are people who come in especially for that,” Michael says. “They get really upset when we take it off the menu in the summer.” Luckily, there are plenty of other treats to choose from. And when all else fails, kick back and enjoy the music. The piano man always brings his A game.

STONE
JIM COTTER EXPLORES CEMENT AS ART
i
By Rosanna Turner
THEWEEKLY@VAILDAILY.COM
It’s time for the cement era. At least that’s what Jim Cotter, an artist who specializes in making jewelry from concrete, believes. Cotter is known for experimenting with new materials that aren’t often used in jewelry. The artist worked primarily with cement in creating his latest pieces. “I’ve always been interested in taking the idea of industrial materials, (such as) the side of a bridge or a building, and reducing it down to a more intimate, more delicate kind of form,” Cotter says. Crafted from the same kind of concrete used to make roads and parking structures, Cotter begins by pouring the cement into a mold. He then carves and manipulates the form to make the jewelry. This results in extraordinary, yet wearable, pieces that catch one’s eye. A true local, Cotter’s galleries have resided in Vail and Beaver Creek for more than 42 years. Since then the artist has elevated jewelry-making into an art form. Cotter says that clients come to him when they want pieces that “make statements.” The artist loves to push the boundary of what constitutes a material used for art. “We’ve had the Stone Age, we’ve had the Bronze Age, maybe now we need to have the Concrete Age,” Cotter says. Looking at the exquisite pieces that Cotter has made with cement, one could argue that it’s time for the Concrete Age indeed.

Cotter Gallery is an internationally recognized gallery of contemporary designer jewelry and art, featuring designs by leading artists from the United States and Europe. Opened in 1970 with the premise that jewelry should be considered an art form, it has established a clientele who share the feeling that jewelry is a silent form of communication that speaks of the wearer’s individual taste.

“BIG MIRACLE” | Based on the inspiring true story that captured the hearts of people across the world, this rescue adventure tells the amazing tale of a small town news reporter (John Krasinski) and a Greenpeace volunteer (Drew Barrymore) who are joined by rival world superpowers to save a family of majestic gray whales trapped by rapidly forming ice in the Arctic Circle. With time running out, Rachel and Adam must rally an unlikely coalition of Inuit natives, oil companies and Russian and American military to set aside their differences and free the whales. As the world’s attention turns to the top of the globe, saving these endangered animals becomes a shared cause for nations entrenched against one another and leads to a momentary thaw in the Cold War. (1:55) PG. “CHRONICLE” | Three high school students make an
incredible discovery, leading to their developing uncanny powers beyond their understanding. Even as they learn to control their abilities and use them to their advantage, their lives start to spin out of control because their darker sides begin to take over. (1:30) PG-13. “CONTRABAND” | Mark Wahlberg leads the cast of “Contraband,” a fast-paced thriller about a man trying to stay out of a world he works so hard to leave behind and the family he’ll do anything to protect. (2:00) R. “WAR HORSE” | Set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War, “War Horse” begins with the remarkable friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert, who tames and trains him. When they are
forcefully parted, the film follows the journey of the horse as he moves through the war, changing and inspiring the lives of all those he meets—British cavalry, German soldiers, and a French farmer and his granddaughter—before the story reaches its emotional climax in the heart of No Man’s Land. (2:35) PG-13. “HAYWIRE” | Mixed martial arts superstar Gina Carano (”American Gladiators”) makes her feature film debut, starring and performing her own highadrenaline stunts. In “Haywire,” an electrifying tale of espionage and betrayal, a female covert ops specialist (Carano), who works in the deadly world of international operatives, strikes back after discovering she’s been doublecrossed by someone close to her in the agency. (1:40) R. “EXTREMELY LOUD & INCREDIBLY CLOSE” | Oskar is
ALL AGES WELCOME!
convinced that his father (Tom Hanks), who died in the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, has left a final message for him hidden somewhere in the city. Feeling disconnected from his grieving mother (Sandra Bullock) and driven by a relentlessly active mind that refuses to believe in things that can't be observed, Oskar begins searching New York City for the lock that fits a mysterious key he found in his father's closet. His journey through the five boroughs takes him beyond his own loss to a greater understanding of the observable world around him. (2:15) PG-13. “THE IRON LADY” | “The Iron Lady” is a surprising and intimate portrait of Margaret Thatcher (Meryl Streep), the first and only female prime minister of the United Kingdom. One of the 20th century’s most famous and influential women, Thatcher came from nowhere to smash through barriers of gender and class to be heard in a male dominated world. (1:50) PG. “THE DESCENDANTS” | From Alexander Payne, the creator of the Oscar-winning “Sideways,” set in Hawaii, “The Descendants” is a sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic journey for Matt King (George Clooney) an indifferent husband and father of two girls, who is forced to re-examine his past
and embrace his future when his wife suffers a boating accident off of Waikiki. The event leads to a rapprochement with his young daughters while Matt wrestles with a decision to sell the family's land handed down from Hawaiian royalty and missionaries. (2:00) R. “THE GREY” | In “The Grey,” Liam Neeson leads an unruly group of oil-rig roughnecks when their plane crashes into the remote Alaskan wilderness. Battling mortal injuries and merciless weather, the survivors have only a few days to escape the icy elements and a vicious pack of rogue wolves on the hunt before their time runs out. (2:05) R. “ONE FOR THE MONEY” | Stephanie Plum (Katherine Heigl) can't catch a break. At 30, she finds herself newly divorced, recently laid-off, and living with her hamster in Trenton, N.J. Broke and desperate, she lands a job working for her slimy cousin and his bail bond business. In need of fast cash she latches on to his biggest case a local cop wanted for murder who just happens to be the guy that broke her heart in high school. Stephanie gets resourceful and tough, as she is swept up in a suspenseful world of murder, deceit, with a bit of romance. (1:40) PG-13.

will put pairs of elite athletes sideby-side as they ascend a customdesigned climbing structure built for the Winter Teva Mountain games. It’s a speed climb, making it a more World Cup-style climb, according to professional climber and Winter Teva Mountain Games competitor Josh Wharton. “It’s going to be new and interesting for spectators because it’s the first time this competition has been done in North America,” Wharton said. “There will be two climbers at a time on routes going head-to-head, so it will be very exciting to watch.” Mixed climbing is done on rock, or in this case plastic holds, and the climbers wear crampons and use ice tools. Wharton said this event provides an interesting local connection since this type of climbing started in the Vail amphitheater, a popular ice climbing area in East Vail.

You just got your first tooth and it’s crooked! The second one’s also coming in and it’s not looking any better. Hey, you’re young! It’s O. K.! You’ve got time to fix things! Are we talking braces? NO! That’s a thing of the past. Do you want a confident smile, healthy gums and lasting teeth? Do you want dates? Say cheese! There’s an easy answer!
Bite this bullet. Once you’ve got all your teeth, grown up a little and had some time to think you should consider INVISALIGN. Whether you’re 18, 35, or 60 Invisalign’s new orthodontic technology will correct crooked teeth, overbites, under bites, tooth crowding and even poor tooth spacing.
How does it work? In customized treatment plans tailored to your individual needs, clear Aligners are used to slowly move and correct teeth over time. Comfortable and virtually invisible, no one can tell you’re wearing them! You change them every two weeks and also remove them when you eat, brush or floss.Treatment time varies, but the result is a beautiful smile and greatly reduced risk for gum disease and tooth decay.
Does it hurt? No. There is a bit of tension at first while you get used to the Aligners. However, compared to the brackets and wires of braces, Invisalign is far more comfortable and not at all embarrassing.

put to the test as they quickly cut through Vail’s cold mountain air. The Vail Uphill course will take athletes on an ascent from Lionshead to Eagle’s Nest, climbing from 2,200 feet up to 10,328 feet in elevation. Snowshoes, Nordic or touring skis, splitboards and other traction devices can be used to help participants track their way up the hill. The 5k and 10k Cross-Country Snowshoe race will start competitors at a course on top of Vail Mountain. The challenging race will begin at 10,000 feet in elevation and take athletes up Kloser’s Climb with snow terrain conditions that will range in depth and steepness. The Eddie Bauer Boot Run will take ski-boot wearers over obstacles that will include ice, hay bales, tires and a backwards march. It may not look pretty, but the event will definitely be entertaining.
Nordic skiers will test their endurance in the Nordic freestyle 5-kilometer and 10-kilometer races. JACK AFFLECK | Special to the Daily Weekly
+FitSKIand fast Nordic skiers will compete in the Nordic Freestyle event to test their endurance, strength and technical skills in the 5-kilometer and 10-kilometer race. Amateur and professional athletes will put their bodies to the test to compete on this speed course. Onlookers and athletes will also want to tune into the 7 Wonders of Vail event, where participants are required to hit the seven miles of Vail’s legendary Back Bowls in one day, covering 2,734 acres of world-class skiing. The Ski Mountaineering competition boasts North America’s largest prize purse, and is a part of the Colorado Ski Mountaineering Cup (COSMIC). Athletes will skin, ski and bootpack on a challenging alpine course on Vail’s front and back side, while passing a series of checkpoints. Expert level competitors will be required to carry avalanche gear for the event. “There are a lot of backcountry enthusiasts who I’m sure are ready to burn each other on the way up and on the way back down,” said local amateur athlete James “Thumbs” Bengala, president of Rocky Mountain Vacation Rentals. “I’m really stoked for an event like this to come to town,” said Bengala, who will be participating in the Ski Mountaineering event. The Telemark Big Air event will be one of the most exciting events to watch during the Winter Teva Mountain Games, though. It will be held alongside the Teva Best Trick Bike at the base of Vail Mountain, to make for a true “Free Heels and Wheels” competition like no other. Ty Bayberry is a professional telemark skier who has some big-air titles under his belt, including the most recent Breckenridge Spring Massive. He said that although the tricks are not more insane than those alpine skiers throw, the tele tricks are sure to impress. “Tele skiing can incorporate more unique grabs with the flexion of the skis,” Bayberry said. “The tele technology in the past 10 years has made the boots and bindings more compatible and more solid so you don’t get sloppy action.” Bayberry said he is glad to be involved with the progression of the sport, and is grateful for the hospitality that Vail and Teva are offering athletes for this upcoming event.

Bravo! announces 25th anniversary season New York Philharmonic, The Philadelphia Orchestra and Dallas Symphony Orchestra in residence, plus chamber music and more June 25-Aug. 4 Daily Weekly staff report THEWEEKLY@VAILDAILY.COM
VAIL — From the heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, the Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival announces its 25th anniversary season, which runs for seven weeks from June 25 to Aug. 4. Celebrated pianist Anne-Marie McDermott returns for a second term as artistic director, and once again the Vail music festival boasts not one but three world-class resident orchestras: the New York Philharmonic, returning under music director Alan Gilbert for its 10th summer; the Philadelphia Orchestra, whose new music director designate Yannick Nezet-Seguin makes his festival debut; and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and its music director, Jaap van Zweden. Programming highlights for this landmark season include numerous festival premieres, multievent immersions in the art of Brahms, Mendelssohn and Gersh-

Dallas Symphony Orchestra conductor Jaap Van Zweden, center, leads “The StarSpangled Banner” before beginning the opening night performance for the Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater in Vail last summer. The festival is celebrating its 25th anniversary season this year. win, a series juxtaposing time-honored classics with trail-blazing new music, plus chamber music, jazz, and pops galore. New York’s Gabriel Kahane returns for an encore performance of his 2011 festival commission, while the Cantus Vocal Ensemble and Jasper String Quartet serve as 2012’s Young Professionals in Residence. An impressive guest-star roster presents more than 30 soloists, including pianists Yefim Bronfman, Kirill Gerstein,
and Benjamin Grosvenor; violinists Joshua Bell, James Ehnes, and Jennifer Koh; cellist Alisa Weilerstein; vocalists Susanna Phillips, Curtis Stigers, and Tracy Dahl; and electric guitarist and composer Steven Mackey. Ensembles include the Calder Quartet, Tiempo Libre, and Opus One, and guest conductors number Andrey Boreyko, Stephane Deneve, Bramwell Tovey, and Jeff Tyzik among them. As before, chamber
concerts will be held in the intimate Vail Mountain School and Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek, while large-scale concerts take place in Vail’s spectacular Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater, which accommodates 1,260 guests in covered seating and an additional 1,300 on the expansive grassy hillside, with breathtaking views of the Rocky Mountains. Anne-Marie McDermott has been called “one of the great pianists of her generation” (Philadelphia Inquirer). Following the success of last year’s festival, she returns for her second year as artistic director, the third in the festival’s history. “The 25th anniversary of the festival has been designed both to honor the past, guided so brilliantly by Executive Director John Giovando, and to embrace the future,” she said. “The staples of the orchestral repertoire will be stunningly rendered by our three great orchestras, while we continue to introduce audiences to works — old and new — not yet heard in Vail. My goal is to make it all excellent, fun, rich, vital and infused with passion.” To launch the silver anniversary season, McDermott has invited her two predecessors, flutist Eugenia Zukerman and festival co-founder violinist Ida Kavafian, to join her for a free and festive evening of music (June 25). This marks the first of McDermott’s numerous festival appearances, which include one of the season’s many premieres, a performance of Tchaikovsky’s Second Piano Concerto on Bravo!, page 20

Burlesque comes to Edwards
Daily Weekly staff report THEWEEKLY@VAILDAILY.COM
EDWARDS — The night of Feb. 4 is all about the unexpected, about bringing something edgy and new to the Vail Valley. It’s the second annual pre-Valentine’s Day bash at the Alpine Arts Center in Edwards, but for those who attended last year, it’s a whole different animal the second time around. The event, now called “An Evening of Burlesque” — will be a real burlesque performance, also known as an erotic art show. “Ooh La La Burlesque is fantastic and they know how to put on a show,” said Lauren Merrill, owner of Alpine Arts Center. “Both male and female The Alpine dancers are performing at the Arts Center in event, so it will be fun to Edwards will host “An come as a couple or with a Evening of Burlesque,” a group of friends.

quite a following and a reputation for being able to perform anywhere to just about every type of music from Sinatra to Slayer. The event is a fundraiser for the Eagle Valley Humane Society, so in addition to a fun night out on the town, you are also raising money for a good cause. Tickets are $40 and include a drink ticket, aphrodisiac appetizers provided by Dish, art and entertainment all evening, and music by DJ Mark from Radio Free Minturn. The event starts at 8 p.m. and goes until, well, who knows? “It’s fun to push the limits with art and have an evening out that’s an adventure. I think it’s the perfect lead-up to Valentines Day,” said Glenn Samuelson, a Vail resident and artist who will be displaying a piece in the erotica art auction. Michelle Williams, another participating artist, is looking forward to sharing her custom art with the community. She uses collage techniques to preserve photographs and keepsakes, and is excited about the unique theme for this exhibit. Samuelson and Williams are two of a few dozen artists participating in the art show and auction. Tickets to the event are limited and you have to be 21 to get in. To purchase tickets or learn about other art offerings at Alpine Arts Center, go to www.alpineartscenter.org or call 970-926-2732.

Free-heel Bindings — They look like downhill bindings, but the Salomon Guardian 16 bindings have a free-heel mode for uphill touring. They lock down solid for the descent. With the flick of a button, the bindings’ rear block releases, enabling a free-heel stride for getting across flat terrain and uphill in the backcountry. This concept of a beefy alpine binding with a touring mode has been around for years, but with the Guardian 16 Salomon introduces a stout new contender in the burgeoning category of ski gear made to work for terrain that’s inbounds as well as out.

Carbon Fatties — Exotic wood and carbon fiber make this flagship ski from Black Diamond lighter than ever. A paulownia wood core reinforced with carbon saves about 2 pounds of weight for the pair, a significant amount. Called the Carbon Megawatt, the skis will weigh less than 5 pounds each when they come to market mid-year. They are beefy enough for expert mountain terrain and have big underski surface area — 152mm (tip), 125mm (mid), 130mm (tail) — for shredding deep snow. Expert-level pricing to match at $930 for the pair.
Uphill Skis — With integrated mohair skins on the base and a hinged design that allows for quick breakdown, MTN Approach (www.mtnapproach.com) offers a unique “uphill-only� ski. It’s built for snowboarders who want to ski uphill and then switch to their board on the mountaintop. The skis are 148 cm long and have bindings that work with snowboarding boots. Two hinge points allow you to fold them up to just 18.5 inches long when stowed away on a backpack for the snowboard descent.

Offering a new type of waxless ski, Atomic’s SkinTec line includes mohair inserts in the kick zone. The grippy mohair fibers are made to stand in for fish-scale patterns seen for decades on “waxless� skis. The SkinTec skis ($479, www.atomic.com) adhere to snow for a solid kick and propulsion while cross-country skiing in a variety of temperatures and over different snow types.
Ski Locator Beacon — Talk about a niche product! This electronic beacon was developed for the sole purpose of aiding people in finding lost skis buried in snow. Called the Ski Retriever ($159.99, www.skiretriever.com), the package includes a handheld locator unit and homing tags that affix with glue and a small screw onto a ski. With a range of 100 yards, the setup should serve deepsnow aficionados well, no matter how bad the crash and how lost the ski.

AVON — Local and international artist Thomas Gargan will exhibit an eclectic mix of original oil paintings, consisting of figurative and landscape works, at the Avon library during February. All works are available for purchase. A portion of all sales will be donated to the library. Gargan has been coming to the valley since the 1960s and has had a home in Eagle County for 15 years. Over the years, he has worked with many other accomplished artists, including Kim English, Quang Ho and Don Sahli. The various works reflect time in multiple countries as well as some from Eagle County. He is particularly noted for his powerful color impressionism and figurative work, reflecting influence from the Russian impressionists Richard Schmid and John Singer Sargent. For a preview, visit his website, www.thomasgargan.com. A reception to meet the artist will be scheduled for later in the month.

an all-Tchaikovsky program with the New York Philharmonic, guest conducted by Grammy Award-winner Bramwell Tovey (July 21). The artistic director also joins three of her favorite fellow pianists for “4 x 4: A Two-Piano Extravaganza Redux,” which revisits last year’s similar and resoundingly successful event, and with which the present season concludes (Aug. 4). To honor the milestone season, 2012 sees a number of important works unveiled at Bravo! for the first time. Besides McDermott’s Tchaikovsky performance, these festival premieres include Nielsen’s Third Symphony and Brahms’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat, Op. 83 (July 26) and Mozart’s Mass in C minor (July 27), both by the New York Philharmonic; Bruckner's Eighth Symphony (July 1); and the concert version of Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess by the Dallas Symphony (June 30). Upcoming artistic debuts include eminent conductor Yannick Nezet-Seguin, just prior to his inaugural season as music director of The Philadelphia Orchestra, and superstar violinist Joshua Bell. Brahms also figures prominently in the festival’s 2012 orchestral programming, with performances of four major works scheduled. Both the New York Philharmonic and the Philadelphia Orchestra have selected Brahms symphonies for their opening concerts, the New York ensemble beginning its residency with the First, under dynamic Russian guest conductor

Andrey Boryeko (July 20), while for NezetSeguin’s debut, the Philadelphians undertake Brahms’s dark and introspective Fourth. By contrast with the two German Romantics, the third composer to come under the spotlight at Vail Music Festival this season is George Gershwin, who died 75 years ago this July and who, in his short life, penned much of America’s most recognizable music. Besides the three composer immersions, another cornerstone of the 25th anniversary season is the introduction of McDermott’s new “Silver Nights” series: three evenings of chamber music written over the past 500 years, in the relaxed and beautiful setting of Vail’s Donovan Pavilion. The upcoming anniversary season includes concerto appearances from a stellar lineup of soloists. Reigning Gilmore Artist Kirill Gerstein — recent artist in residence at the Houston Symphony’s RachFest and “one of the most respected pianists of his generation” (New York Times) — returns to perform Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto with The Philadelphia Orchestra and Nezet-Seguin, on a program with Tchaikovsky’s final Symphony, the “Pathethique” (July 7). The New York Philharmonic hosts the debut of teenage piano sensation Benjamin Grosvenor, just named one of the year’s top ten Britons by London’s Daily Telegraph. Tickets for the 25th anniversary season will be available for purchase starting April 23. See www.vailmusic.org for further details.

By Tom Genes
In the 1960s when the Beatles were, in the eyes of many, ruining the youth of the day, it’s hard to imagine that their inspiration for their planet-altering songs came from the establishment itself. According to Paul McCartney, it came from Hollywood, Calif., and the iconic figure of Fred Astaire. That’s what he is saying as he prepares to release his 23rd solo studio album, called “Kisses On The Bottom.” The compilation’s title is indicative of the album’s collection. The phrase comes from the album’s opener, “I’m Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter.” Originally made a big hit by Fats Waller in 1935, the song, like all of the others except two, is one of the “songs that inspired the songs,” according to McCartney. During a recent press interview, McCartney admitted the strong influence of the iconic Astaire even to the point where during the heyday of Beatlemania, McCartney was asking his tailors “if they could make my jackets like Fred Astaire.” He also admitted to appreciating the Hollywood icon’s underrated, subtle voice. The album, to be released Feb. 6, was recorded with producer Tommy LiPuma and Diana Krall’s band. The new material features appearances from Eric Clapton and Stevie Wonder, who work on the new songs “My Valentine” and “Only Our Hearts.’” The rest of the tracks pay homage to the
songs McCartney grew up listening to as his father played them on the living room piano. The set list, recently released, spotlights a few Sam Cooke songs as well as deep nostalgic tunes like "It’s Only a Paper Moon," a song written in 1933 by Harold Arlen and made popular with versions by Ella Fitzgerald and Nat King Cole in the 1940s. McCartney, who just announced he will perform at the Grammy awards in mid-February, also hinted he was in talks to perform at the Summer Olympics in London. Bands including Led Zeppelin have also been rumored to be appearing. McCartney openly admits that this song collection — call it his sentimental journey — is the basis for many of the Beatles’ classics. He cited “Honey Pie” as a direct takeoff of Hollywood sentiment and said the influence of these old songs on him and John Lennon is evident throughout the Beatles’ career. Though the album is a reflection of the music McCartney grew up with, his favorite from the album is one of the new compositions, “My Valentine.” On the only song available for early preview, he teams up with Eric Clapton, who improvises a guitar solo that McCartney says was typical for the recording session. It was this loose “jazzy feel” to the process that McCartney enjoyed the most, as he told a worldwide webcast audience, “It was very similar to how the Beatles worked. Bring it in, kick it around, and record it.”

WINTER TEVA GAMES FROM PAGE 12
ULTIMATE + MOUNTAIN CHALLENGE The Winter Teva Mountain Games will crown a king and queen of the mountain from a combination of the Nordic Freestyle, Vail Uphill and Ski Mountaineering events. The lowest combined times for all three events, held over three days, will claim the top male and female honor of the Ultimate Mountain Challenge.
A WINTER TO REMEMBER +Woodworth said that since the last Honda Session snowboard competition in 2008, the Vail Valley Foundation has been planning to bring a winter event back to Vail. “We are anticipating the energy and excitement that surrounds the summer games in the winter, and maybe even more,” said Woodworth. “It’s just because the built-in spectator base loves the year-round recreation that Colorado has to offer.” The Winter Teva Mountain Games are sure to bring some life into Vail during the chilly days of February, Bengala said. “There are going to be some amazing athletes, great music, parties, and an overall buzz that is typically lacking that weekend during the season,” Bengala said. “It’s going to be an overall great time, with friendly competition in our home town, on one of the world’s greatest mountains.”

The Olympics Now and Then DAVIS PHINNEY AND CONNIE CARPENTER Davis Phinney is a two time stage winner of the Tour de France and an Olympic medalist. His wife Connie Carpenter has also won several World cycling medals, including an Olympic gold in the cycling road race in the 1984 Games. She is one of a handful of two-sport Olympians and is also one of the youngest to have ever competed in the Olympics, having first participated as a speed skater when she was fourteen.Their son Taylor is also a professional cyclist and competed in the 2008 Olympics. They will share their journey to the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 1984 as compared with their son Taylor’s quest for Gold in London 2012. What has changed? What motivates an Olympic athlete? What lessons have they learned? What advice do they give Taylor? At the age of 40 Phinney was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s disease. His book “The Happiness of Pursuit” is the story of how he sought to overcome the disease by reaching back to what had made him so successful on the bike and adjusting his perspective on what counted as a win. Books will be available for sale at the program.
