rarely heard viola d’amore. She has played regularly with the Santa Barbara,
Pacific, and Long Beach Symphonies, Pasadena Pops, Long Beach Opera, St.
Matthew Chamber Orchestra and other ensembles in the area. Director/Curator of
the Glendale Noon Concerts’early music sub-series Adriana, with Ergo Musica,
is heard there frequently. Previously a member of the Carmel Bach Festival and
L.A. Baroque Orchestra, she plays with the original instrument ensembles Musica
Angelica Baroque Orchestra, L.A. Baroque Players, Bach Collegium San Diego and
the Corona del Mar Baroque Festival, where she has appeared as viola d'amore
soloist. Adriana has played for motion
pictures, TV shows, video games, solo artist recordings, Broadway musicals, and
live shows of all musical styles from classical to jazz, and was part of the
band for the musical Hamilton during its recent run in Los Angeles.
Adriana holds a Bachelors degree from U.S.C. and Masters from the University of
Michigan, both in violin performance.
Lindsey Strand-Polyak is active in the Early Music community as both violinist and violist.
A graduate of UCLA in musicology and violin performance,
Dr. Strand-Polyak has presented lecture-recitals at numerous conferences in the
US and Canada. She performs with Pacific MusicWorks, American Bach Soloists,
Musica Angelica Baroque Orchestra, Bach Collegium San Diego, Austin Baroque,
Seattle Baroque, and the Los Angeles-based Tesserae and Ensemble Bizarria and
has appeared with the Oregon Bach Festival, the Fringe Series in Boston and
Berkeley and is co-director of LABaroque: a community baroque orchestra. She
serves on the faculty of the Clarmont Graduate University as adjunct professor
of baroque violin and viola.
Arthur Omura is a specialist in historical keyboard
instruments. He studied organ repertoire of the Baroque under Charles Rus in
San Francisco, modern technique with Dr. Ladd Thomas at USC, and harpsichord
repertoire with Dr. Lucinda Carver also at USC. He has performed at the Boston
and Berkeley Early Music festivals and given numerous performances at home in
Los Angeles. Omura keeps an active performance schedule as an organist and
harpsichord player. He has worked with MicroFest, wildUp, iPalpiti, Musica
Angelica, and the Los Angeles Baroque Players. Omura can be heard on several
recordings, most recently on "Kontrapunktus", a collection of new
music by composer Mark Moya written in a Baroque idiom. His interest in
instrument making led him to work with harpsichord builder Curtis Berak, whom
he has assisted in restoring several instruments, and with organ builder Manuel
Rosales
Commended by the United States Congress for her work in the field of classical music composition and performance, Maria Newman is an award-winning composer, violinist, violist, pianist, conductor, and pedagogue. As an Annenberg Foundation Composition Fellow, featured Concert Composer, and Violin/Viola Soloist in such diverse venues as the United States Capitol Building Dome and Rotunda, Carnegie Hall, Philadelphia’s Academy of Music, Pittsburgh’s Heinz Hall, the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., and the Music Scoring Stages of 20th Century Fox, Warner Bros. Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment, MGM, Paramount, and Universal Pictures, as well as in a wide variety of international settings, Newman has become a visible symbol in modern classical music, deriving her living from commissions and performances. Maria Newman’s extensive library of scintillating and highly discussed works represents a range of genres, from large-scale orchestral works, works for the ballet, chamber works, large choral works and vocal solo, song cycle and chamber works, to original collaborative musical scores for a large number of historic silent films. http://www.malibufriendsofmusicmusic.org/composermarianewman.html
