Selected Provenance
William Kincaid Flautist and pedagogue William Kincaid (1895-1967) is known as the “Grandfather of the American Flute School,” and his influence upon the profession cannot be underestimated. He held concurrent positions as principal of the Philadelphia Orchestra and faculty of the Curtis Institute of Music for four decades. His relationship with Verne Q. Powell Flutes can be traced back to the company’s inception, and Kincaid’s platinum Powell, considered the most expensive flute in the world, resides in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Edward “Ned” Kendall Leader of the Boston Brass Band, Edward “Ned” Kendall (1808-1861) was the premiere keyed-bugler of his day and the last of the instrument’s champions in the era before keys gave way to valves. He was a pioneer of the 19th century’s all-brass band movement, and Kendall’s virtuosity is inextricably tied to the bugles of his bandmate, trombonist and machinist Henry Sibley.
Mario Beltrán del Río Classical guitarist and educator Mario Beltrán del Río (1947-2014) made his New York debut at Carnegie Hall in 1976. He toured Europe and the Americas extensively, made recordings for EMI-Capitol, and taught at the Escuela Superior de Musica in his native Mexico.
Reception & Auction Preview
Friday, May 20 Classical Salon 5:30-7PM Featuring The Yaeko Miranda Elmaleh Group
Yaeko grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and began violin lessons at the age of 3. Yaeko received a BA in music from the New England Conservatory of Music in contemporary improvisation in 2002 where she studied under Ran Blake and Hankus Netsky, and was classically trained under Fudeko Takahashi. She has received many awards and soloed with many ensembles and orchestras in Massachusetts. Since graduating she has been a member of the world renowned Klezmer Conservatory Band (KCB) and has performed throughout the country. As a part of the KCB, Yaeko has had the honor of working with Itzhak Perlman and cantor Yitzchak Meir Helfgot on the Eternal Echoes Project. As a part of the project she played on “Prairie Home Companion,” at Symphony Hall and Barclays Center, and recorded for PBS’s “Great Performances.” In addition, Yaeko has had the privilege of performing alongside the great Stevie Wonder at the Boston TD Garden for the Songs in the Key of Life tour. Yaeko has worked with jazz clarinetist Don Byron, actress/singer Bernadette Peters, and has opened for Andy Statman. She also played in the New York run of the musical ‘Shlemiel the First’ under the music direction of Zalmen Mlotek. In 2011, Yaeko recorded her debut album. Yaeko’s musical style is influenced by her multicultural upbringing: her mother and father immigrated from France and El Salvador respectively in the 1960s. Yaeko’s maternal grandfather was an accomplished impressionist painter and musician that performed with Django Reinhardt and other musicians during the 40s and 50s bohemian era in Paris.
