acatalano2641's video: Barbara Bonney Where Dreams Are Born John Williams

Where Dreams Are Born is my special tribute to distinguished lyric soprano Barbara Bonney. Henry David Thoreau said "Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake." Ms Bonney dream or aspiration in life was to be a Music Therapist. I believe that she has realized her dream by effectually combining her singing career with her love of teaching. These two aspects of her life are naturally and inextricably linked together like inhaling and exhaling. For over thirty years Barbara's innate ability to make people feel good through her singing and teaching are the purest forms of Music Therapy. She has set up her own company SingerSupport & The Bonney Foundation to promote musical integrity and a positive approach to the singing profession. Barbaras life has come full circle. She is currently a University Professor at the Mozarteum in Salzburg where she was a student of lieder. As you listen to Barbara's radiant voice, see the engaging warmth of her personality you will see that she is not only living her dream but she is also sharing her dream. Dear Barbara, Thank you for living and sharing your dream with the world. Wishing you a happy, healthy birthday (April 14) with many more to come! With sincere admiration. Whitebabygrandpiano Barbara Bonney is one of the leading lyric sopranos of her generation. With over 100 recordings to her name, her artistry has been documented for generations of singers to come. Her Sophie (Rosenkavalier) is legendary the world over, as are her Mozart roles of Susanna (Figaro), Pamina (Zauberflote). Ms. Bonney devoted much of her 30 year career to Lieder, and continues to sing Lied-Recitals and Orchestral Concerts. She is a devoted mentor of the new-generation-singer, and is currently Professor at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, as well as guest professor of the Royal Academy of Music in London.

He attended UCLA; and he also studied composition privately with Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco. He joined the Air Force and, after his service, returned to New York to study at the Juilliard School with the renowned Rosina Lhevinne. Williams cut his teeth as a jazz pianist in Manhattan before returning to Los Angeles, where he began working in films and television. He was a rehearsal pianist for South Pacific, an arranger of albums by artists as diverse as Doris Day and Mahalia Jackson, and a musical assistant and orchestrator for masters of film music including Franz Waxman, Alfred Newman and Bernard Herrmann. He worked on television, starting with the Today Show and General Electric Theater, lavishing his talent on TV gems through the years including "The Virginian," "Kraft Summer Music Hall," "Lost in Space," Heidi and, perhaps most unforgettably, in the touching, rousing 1984 Olympic Fanfare that has become an inextricable part of the fabric of Olympic dreams. So far Williams has earned five Academy Awards: for his original scores in Schindler's List, E.T., Star Wars, and Jaws; as well as for his adaptation of Fiddler on the Roof . He also has earned 18 Grammys, three Golden Globes, 4 Emmys, and 3 BAFTA Awards from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. His music for the Star Wars trilogy alone is an undisputed icon of American popular culture.
