ARTIST BIOS:
There are many wonderful violinists on the world's stages today, but not many of them compose and perform their own original compositions along with those of the master composers of centuries past. Kirstin Fife has distinguished herself as one of these more rare musicians, consumate performer and composer.
Many of her concerts are given in an intimate setting, such as private homes and small theaters. Also, she performs in regular concert series, such as The Glendale Noon Concerts, the Pasadena Presbyterian noon concerts, the Sunday musicale series at the Newport Beach Library, and The Sunspace Thursday night concert series. Recently, Kirstin has been promoting and performing her performance piece, "The Major Arcana", for violin and piano, which includes a slide show to enhance the presentation.
In addition, to "The Major Arcana", Kirstin has been performing her pieces based on the art work of Salvador Dali, with the Dali Ensemble of Los Angeles.
"Czechmate" and "Pieces of My Heart" are two CD's that she released in 1996 and 2011 respectively. In between, were hundreds of recordings as a studio musician for movies, television, and records including "Mission Impossible", "Jag" Star Trek:The Next Generation", "Michael Jackson" and many others too numerous to mention. On camera, she has appeared on "American Idol", "Tonight Show", and "The Voice", and others. Also, she has performed for all of the major awards shows, including the Academy Awards, The Emmy Awards, the Country Music Awards, and the Grammy Awards (with Prince and Bruno Mars).
Kirstin loves to perform for charitable causes, these have included "Alzheimer's Foundation" "The Red Shirt Project" and "Hope Gardens. She welcomes the opportunity to do much more of this kind of work.
Believing that music for weddings should be of the highest caliber, for that most special day, Kirstin makes special arrangements, and performs for many ceremonies around Southern California. For more information, please go to FifeDreams.com.
Kirstin Fife is in the business of creating,
recording, performing and teaching. Her CD's are available on Itunes.
Original compositions and arrangements are available on
sheetmusicplus.com.

PROGRAM NOTES:
KIRSTIN FIFE Sonata For Violin and Piano No.1
Movement 1 was composed largely during the wildfires in Los Angeles in the Winter of 2017. I was evacuated, and though very distracted, tried to compose. The only thing I could think of were very large accented skips of intervals, like the breaking of branches and repeated minor 7th intervals, which I cobbled into the first movement of the sonata.
Movement 2 was composed on a ukelele during the previous winter. The chord progression was discovered by me, as I was fooling around on a blue plastic uke that I bought on a whim. I thought it reminded me of a chord progression, that of one of my idols, Sergei Prokofiev. The steady eighth notes are an Alberti bass pattern, used frequently in pop songs or a picking pattern for a uke.
Movement 3 was inspired as a frenetic/manic boogie woogie. It begins with solemn sustained chords in the introduction and then continues into this tribute to Americana. I imagined kids dancing to a Lindy or other popular song, except with lots of parallel motion as the harmonic foundation. In the middle, there is a nod to more contemporary jazz rhythms.
