This is the final convening of our Roundtable. As Roundtable attendees arrive, greet each other and find their seats, slides of images of the past two days of meetings and workshops will be projected on the walls or a screen.
What Is the Next Stage for Dance?
To bring together the two days of discussion in councils and workshops, Andrea will invite the observers — Stan Davis, John Kreidler, Constant Meijer, Jane Polin — to speak about what they heard over the course of the roundtable.
The 2005–2006 season marks the 50th anniversary of Lorin Hollander's Carnegie Hall debut at the age of eleven, the beginning of his continuous professional career spanning five decades. He was an infant child prodigy who composed music at age three and performed Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier at five. He has performed with virtually every major symphony orchestra in the world and is a veteran of nearly 2,500 performances: with orchestra, in recital, lecture/recital, chamber ensemble as pianist, symphony and choral conductor. He has collaborated with Bernstein, Mehta, Ozawa, Monteux, Szell, Leinsdorf, Slatkin, Previn, Schwarz, Levine, Kirchner, Haitink, Fleisher, and Ormandy among many others. He had his own national recital series on PBS and performed in the soundtrack of Sophie’s Choice. His mentors were Steuermann, Rudolf and Fleisher and he spent two summers at Marlboro performing with Serkin and Casals. Over the years he has appeared repeatedly with the symphony orchestras of New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Cleveland, Detroit, St. Louis, Seattle, Dallas, San Antonio and Washington, DC. His international performances have included the London Philharmonic, the Concertgebouw of Amsterdam, L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Warsaw Philharmonic, the Berlin Symphony, Jerusalem Symphony, ORTF of Paris, New Tokyo Philharmonic and Seoul Philharmonic, among many others. He appears often on Ocean Cruise Ships as pianist, conductor, lecturer, mentor for University Study Abroad programs; he serves as festival coordinator and even as on-shore tour guide exploring the historical perspectives of Art, Science and Religion. He has recorded for RCA Victor, Columbia, Angel and Delos and PianoDisc.
For over 30 years he has led community outreach and university residencies, giving master classes, conducting youth orchestras, counseling students, guiding the gifted, holding seminars on stagefright and training mentors for the arts and sciences. He performs in the workplace, for lifelong learners, in hospitals, prisons, for hospices and with people at risk. Hollander also lectures on, and leads explorations of, human consciousness and creativity, transpersonal psychology, transformational education and mentoring, spiritual and personal growth and integral health. He investigates how we may end and prevent the violent, criminal and suicidal dysfunctions of our children (Columbine High) while empowering our senior citizens to become true mentors and elders. He sheds new light on the relevance of sacred and ancient knowledge. He works with corporate leaders on the process of transformation in the workplace and explores in depth a multicultural understanding of the nature of being human.
