Michael Colina Habanera to Be Performed at January 7 Tribute to Composer
Keith Gates at North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem

New York composer Michael Colina’s Habanera for violin, flute, clarinet,
bassoon and piano will be performed as part of a special tribute to
composer Keith Gates on Sunday, January 7 - 2PM at Watson Chamber Music
Hall on the campus of the North Carolina School of the Arts, 1533 South
Main St. in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

The program will feature works written by and for Gates, a composer who
graduated from the NCSA high school program in 1967 and stayed for two
years of undergraduate study before going on to The Juilliard School,
where he earned his Bachelor of Music and Master of Music and studied
composition with Vincent Persichetti and Hugo Weisgall.

Flutist and conductor Ransom Wilson, who graduated from the NCSA School
of Music in 1969, recruited NCSA music and drama alumni from across the
country to perform on the concert. School of Music faculty and students
will also perform.

Performers for the Habanera will be Joseph Genualdi, violin; Robert
Carter, clarinet; Ransom Wilson, flute; Andrew Cordle, bassoon and
Michael Colina at the piano.

Admission is free, but tickets are required. Please call the NCSA Box
Office at 336-721-1945 or visit them online at http://www.ncarts.edu/.

After 25 years of helping others create their music as a multiple
Grammy® winning jazz composer and producer, Michael Colina is focusing
today on the music that he has always dreamed of creating for himself.
His most recent works reflect a new, classical direction, one that pulls
threads from jazz, classical, and his Cuban-American heritage. Examples
of this new classical direction include The Isles of Shoals, a concerto
for flute and orchestra; The Idoru Piano Trio for piano, violin and
cello; The People, an orchestral work for Richard Kuch commissioned by
the Boston Ballet; and a modern dance score, A Time of Crickets,
commissioned by Pauline Koner and supported by The National Endowment
for the Arts. Colina, born of Cuban-American heritage, studied
composition at the North Carolina School of the Arts with Vittorio
Giannini, Louis Mennini (father of composer Peter Mennin) and Robert
Ward. He continued studies at the Chigiana in Sienna, Italy with Thomas
Pasatieri and Roman Vlad. He was the first recipient of the Vittorio
Giannini Memorial Scholarship award. Visit him online at
