Angelis, Goodenberger to perform 'Transported'
Music Conservatory of Sandpoint officials said they are thrilled to announce an upcoming concert with award-winning composer and violin virtuoso Kim Angelis. Angelis is coming to Sandpoint to perform "Transported" with pianist Jennifer Goodenberger and give a master class for MCS students.
Angelis’s music is built on a classical foundation yet transcends artistic boundaries. She draws inspiration from music of the Romani diaspora of Eastern Europe, Russia, and Spain. Her passionate music has been featured on PBS and NPR and accompanied world champion gymnast Kui Yuanyuan in the 2000 Summer Olympics. Angelis was nominated for Best Original Score by the California Independent Film Society and Best Score by the International Independent Film Tour for the movie Sweet Nothings.
“Kim’s classical training, [cross-cultural] influence … and deep spirituality have blended together and burgeoned into some of the most beautiful, moving music I’ve ever heard,” wrote Marilyn O’Malley of the Victory Review.
Angelis majored in music at the University of California, Irvine, where she studied with top violinists in the Los Angeles Philharmonic, including concertmaster Sidney Harth and Ivan Galamian protégée Lori Ulanova. She resides in Naselle, Washington.
Jennifer Goodenberger, pianist, joins Kim in this much-anticipated concert. Goodenberger is also a composer, visual artist, and poet. Her original works are a mesmerizing fusion of classical, improvisational, and contemporary styles. She often includes aspects of her physical artwork in concerts to illuminate the music.
Over her last 30 years as a performer, Goodenberger has worked as a concert pianist, musical director for theater, radio programmer, college teacher, and private piano instructor. She is author of Subject Guide to Classical Instrumental Music, published by Scarecrow Press.
Angelis and Goodenberger are performing at 6 p.m. on Friday, May 6, at the First Presbyterian Church in Sandpoint. Suggested donation is $15. Contact Music Conservatory of Sandpoint at 208-265-4444 for more information or visit sandpointconservatory.org.
