Violin Sensation Antonio Pontarelli Rocks New York's Lincoln Center With The World Civic Orchestra

One of New York’s most prestigious stages will be the scene for Antonio Pontarelli’s next rock infusion. On Sunday, September 25, the award-winning violinist will be featured by the World Civic Orchestra performing “I’d Love To Change the World” – a piece most famously written and performed by the English blues-rock band Ten Years After and arranged by John Reed for the Hampton (Rock) String Quartet. Under the musical direction of Vincent Koh, the fall concert will be highlighting artists that inspire from around the world. A portion of the proceeds will go to fund music scholarships and additional artist and concert information can be found at www.antoniomusic.com .

“This really is a landmark performance for me because it’s the first time I will be performing rock music with a full orchestra,” says Pontarelli. “Traditionally, many orchestras are rigid in their adherence to classical repertoire and thus, don’t allow for much improvisation. With those inhibitions swept away, it is incredible to hear an ensemble of 80+ members interweaving rock music in a classical setting.” In 2010, Pontarelli debuted at Carnegie Hall as a soloist on electric violin with the WCO at their inaugural concert. He began playing violin when he was only four, and has continued playing as a soloist with numerous Grammy winners such as Jethro Tull, David Benoit, Serj Tankian (SOAD) and the San Diego Symphony. He has also shared the stage with numerous world-class artists including Jason Mraz, Seal, Earth Wind and Fire and Billy Preston. Pontarelli is a Yamaha Artist and will be playing a prototype that is a sneak preview of a new electric violin to launch next year.

This groundbreaking performance takes place on Sunday, September 25, 2011 at 2PM. Located at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall (70 Lincoln Center Plaza, New York, NY). Tickets are $20-$40.

Patrick Joseph - "Don't Believe It"

In a time where music seems to be “made to fit the mold,” and artists are more cliché than original, Patrick Joseph’s video “Don’t Believe It” is a breath of fresh air. The indie singer/songwriter’s song, from his debut album “Antiques,” is breathtakingly beautiful. The video was made entirely with a still camera in stop motion over the course of three days shooting during which time over 7,000 still frames of photography were taken. It is also uniquely entertaining because of the quality of the music. Joseph has a way with words, and “Don’t Believe It” is lyrically and musically robust, with not a single note wasted or out of place. Deep and thought provoking, the video and track are worthy of being added to any true music lover’s collection.

N-O - "Mother" Featuring Sydney B

Hip hop artist N-O’s video Mother” is a dramatic and emotionally charged anthem to a mom who passed away too soon and all the hurt ad memories that are left behind. The video is well produced with crisp, clear images portraying sadness and grief, as well as pictures of mothers caring and praying for their children. Paced at an appropriately slow tempo, the song, which features Sydney B, has impact and meaning as the vocals get right to the point: “I miss my mother, It’s so hard/I know she’s in a better place, But I can’t stop the tears/Can’t stop the tears/” and “I called my father/He told me my mother just died/I’m trying to be strong, I’m hurting inside/So I cover up/I’m smiling, telling jokes/ But the day my mother died was the day my heart broke/.” This is a beautiful and loving memorial to a woman who was obviously a wonderful mom, and a reminder to us all to cherish our mothers while they’re still here with us.
