paragraph: Friedrich Winkler

paragraph: Friedrich Horst Winkler (5 March 1888 – 23 February 1965) was a German art historian specialised in German art, especially the works of Albrecht Dürer, and Early Netherlandish painting from the 15th and 16th century.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Friedrich Winkler was born at his family's farm in Prehna, a hamlet of Lumpzig, Germany, in 1888. He studied art history at the University of Vienna, the University of Berlin, and the University of Freiburg, where he studied under Wilhelm Vöge. His thesis "Der Meister von Flemalle und Rogier van der Weyden", written in 1912, was published in 1913.

paragraph: He then started working as the editor of the "Lexikon der bildenden Künstler" by Ulrich Thieme and Felix Becker, for which he wrote 34 entries. He also worked as a volunteer at the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden, but then joined the army during World War I. He left the army in 1915 to become the director of the Kunstbibliothek Berlin. he wrote a work on Early Netherlandish miniatures, and in 1924 reworked "Die Altniederländisch Malerei von 1400–1600", originally written by Max Jacob Friedländer. In 1925 appeared "Die Flämische Buchmalerei", about Flemish miniature painting. In this period he married Hermina Christina Schützinger.

paragraph: Winkler then started working on the "catalogue raisonné" of the drawings by Albrecht Dürer, which was started by Friedrich Lippmann (1838–1903). Winkler wrote the final two volumes of the catalog and a book about Dürer, which were published in the late 1920s. In 1933 he succeeded the deceased Elfried Bock as head of the Kupferstichkabinett Berlin. Between 1936 and 1939 he published a new catalogue of the drawings of Dürer in 4 volumes.

paragraph: In 1942 he published a work on the drawings of Hans von Kulmbach and Hans Leonhard Schäufelein, both pupils of Dürer. In 1947 he became a lecturer at the Humboldt University of Berlin and in 1951 he switched to Western Germany and the Free University of Berlin, until he retired in 1957. That year he wrote "Leben und Werke", a biography of Dürer. After another work on Hans von Kulmbach, he published his final major work in 1964, "Das Werk des Hugo van der Goes". In 1950 he was made a corresponding member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities.

paragraph: Giovanni di Francesco

paragraph: Giovanni di Francesco del Cervelliera or Giovanni di Francesco (1412 – September 28, 1459) was an Italian painter, active in Florence in the mid-fifteenth century.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Giovanni di Francesco was born in Florence. A land registry document of 1435 in which Giovanni gave his age as 23 provides the evidence for his birthdate. Giovanni was the nephew of Giuliano di Jacopo Lorino and the cousin of Jacopo di Antonio, both painters. According to Vasari, the two cousins were pupils to Andrea del Castagno, but Anna Padoa Rizzo says "this should be discounted as Castagno was ten years younger than Giovanni di Francesco".

paragraph: In 1450 Giovanni di Francesco accused Fra Filippo Lippi of failure to pay him for his collaborative work in the restoration of a painting of Giotto. The two worked together again in 1455.

paragraph: In 1440, Giovanni di Francesco finished painting "Madonna and Child with Saint Brigdet and Saint Michael" (J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles) for the Brigittine Convento near Florence, using the technique of tempera on panel. Around 1450, Giovanni finished "Madonna and Child with Angels", also in tempera on panel. The original location of the painting is unknown, but it is now housed in the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence. Between 1455 and 1459, Giovanni painted "Nativity and Adoration of the Magi" as a predella, or part of a predella, of an unidentified altarpiece. It is now housed in the Musée du Louvre in Paris.

paragraph: Giovanni di Francesco del Cervelliera died on September 28, 1459, and was buried in the church of San Ambrogio.

paragraph: Section::::Artistic style.

paragraph: Giovanni di Francesco worked primarily with tempera on panel to create his paintings, panels, triptychs and altarpieces. His early works show an interest in perspective, clarity of outline, and strongly characterized facial expressions that reveal the influence of Uccello. The influence of Fra Lippo Lippi's work is evident in "Adoration of the Magi" and "SS James and Anthony Abbot Blessing a Donor". Giovanni's style was also influenced by Domenico Veneziano and, to some extent, by Piero della Francesca. His later works, such as the "Carrand Triptych", show less of a classicizing tendency, and suggest the influence of Castagno.

paragraph: Section::::Artistic style.:Carrand Triptych.

paragraph: In the centuries after his death, the artistic identity of Giovanni di Francesco was nearly forgotten. The "Carrand Triptych" (formerly in the Carrand collection; now in the Bargello, Florence), representing the "Virgin and Child with SS Francis, John the Baptist, Nicholas and Peter", was a key work in his modern rediscovery. The triptych, and a number of works evidently by the same hand, were attributed to an artist known only as the Master of the Carrand Triptych until 1917, when Pietro Toesca identified the Master of the Carrand Triptych as Giovanni di Francesco, on the evidence of a document concerning payment for a fresco in the church of the Ospedale degli Innocenti in Florence.

paragraph: György Vastagh

paragraph: György Vastagh (12 April 1834 in Szeged – 21 February 1922 in Budapest) was a Hungarian portrait and genre painter.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: His father was a shipping administrator, but had artistic leanings, which influenced György to start painting when he was still a boy. After returning home from fighting in the Hungarian Revolution, his talent was noticed by a piano teacher who lived nearby, and he began taking his first lessons from a local artist. In 1854 he went to Vienna, where he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts and came under the influence of Carl Rahl and Friedrich von Amerling. While there, he mostly produced portraits and religiously themed works.

paragraph: In 1857, he settled in Kolozsvár, shared a studio with his friend, the photographer , and got married. At first, he still painted mostly portraits, but soon turned to genre scenes on rural subjects. He refused two offers of government scholarships (one from József Eötvös) because he did not want to feel obligated to the Alexander Bach administration. During this time, he made numerous visits to Vienna and began to participate in exhibitions there.

paragraph: In 1876 he moved, this time taking his family to Budapest, where he set up a portrait studio that catered to aristocratic clientele. Among his sitters at that time were Lajos Kossuth, Emperor Franz Joseph I and the Emperor's wife Elisabeth. For almost three decades, he served as the court painter to the Archduke Joseph Karl Ludwig. In 1883, he painted a portion of the ceiling fresco in the foyer of the Hungarian State Opera. He also painted altarpieces in Budapest, Szeged, Arad and Temesvár.

paragraph: In 1894, he became one of the founders of the "Magyar Művészek és Műpártolók Egyesülete" (Hungarian Association of Artists and Patrons) and shortly after helped to organize the National Salon for their exhibitions.

paragraph: He was the first in what would become a family of artists. His eldest son Géza was also a painter, who specialized in animals, and his namesake son György was a sculptor. His grandchildren Éva and László were also sculptors.

His father was the journalist and pioneering campaigner for , Anton Afritsch (1873-1924). His brother, (1906-1967), later came to prominence as a stage and movie actor. Afritsch underwent a conventional schooling, followed by three years at Horticultural Academy in Eisgrub, South Moravia. In 1923 or 1926 he joined the city of Vienna's Parks and Gardens service, which he helped to rebuild in the chaotic aftermath of war.

paragraph: Giovanni Dondi dell'Orologio

paragraph: Giovanni Dondi dell'Orologio (c. 1330 – 1388), also known as Giovanni de' Dondi, was an Italian physician, astronomer and mechanical engineer in Padua, now in Italy. He is remembered today as a pioneer in the art of clock design and construction. The Astrarium, which he designed and built over a period of 16 years, was a highly complex astronomical clock and planetarium, constructed only 60 or so years after the very first mechanical clocks had been built in Europe, and demonstrated an ambitious attempt to describe and model the planetary system with mathematical precision and technological sophistication.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Giovanni was the second son of Jacopo Dondi dell'Orologio and Zaccarota Centrago or Centraco of Chioggia. His father was a doctor and astronomer, and builder of a large astronomical clock in the tower of the Palazzo Capitaniato of Padua in 1344.

paragraph: Giovanni lived with his father from 1348 to 1359, and shared his father's interest in astronomy and clockmaking. In 1348 he began working on what he called his astrarium or planetarium. He described in detail the design and construction of this project, which was to occupy him until 1364. His manuscripts provided enough material for modern clockmakers to build reconstructions. In 1371 he served as ambassador to Venice, but after the conflict between Padua and Venice in 1372, joined the University of Pavia, and served as diplomat and scholar until his death in Abbiategrasso on 19 October 1388. He is buried at Sant'Eustorgio in Milan.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Giovanni Dondi and the Padovana chicken.

paragraph: It is frequently reported, in sources from the 19th and early 20th centuries to the present, that the "Marquis Giovanni Dondi dell'Orologio" was responsible for introducing the Padovana chicken, which closely resembles the Polish breed, from Poland to Italy. However the Dondi who was ennobled was the soldier Francesco Dondi, created Marquis by King John III Sobieski in 1676; no journey to or contact with Poland by Giovanni Dondi in the 14th century is documented.

paragraph: Section::::Written works.

paragraph: Dondi wrote on a wide range of subjects. His most celebrated work is the "Tractatus astrarii" or "Planetarium", which describes the Astrarium. It is one of the earliest surviving descriptions of its kind, predated by only a few years by the "Albion" and "Horologium" of Richard of Wallingford. In the introduction, Dondi writes that his machine was built in accordance with the 13th-century "Theorica planetarum" of Campano di Novara, and to demonstrate the validity of the descriptions of the motion of heavenly bodies of Aristotle and Avicenna. The "Tractatus" survives in twelve manuscript sources. The autograph in the Biblioteca Capitolare of Padua (MS. D39) and a copy of it, also in Padua, are certainly the work of Dondi. The other sources are rewritten versions of the autograph, to which Dondi's contribution is as yet unclear. The autograph manuscript was published in 1987 in a critical edition with colour facsimile and French translation by Poulle as the first volume of the "Opera omnia" of Jacopo and Giovanni Dondi.

paragraph: Of the twenty-nine lectures on medical topics, the "Sermones" and "Colationes", delivered between 1356 and 1388, only the titles survive, with the exception of one, the "Sermo in conventu magistri Iohannis ab Aquila in medicina 1367" (Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, "Lat". 9637), and some passages from that in Bologna in the same year cited by Francesco Scipione Dondi dall'Orologio.

paragraph: The twenty-four "Quaestiones super libris Tegni", dating from about 1356, are preserved in a manuscript begun in 1370 by Tommaso da Crema and now in the Biblioteca Palatina of Parma ("Parmense" 1065); "Tegne" was the mediaeval name for the summary by Galenus of the works of Hippocrates. The "Quaestiones" are to date unpublished, as are Dondi's "Experimenta" or medical prescriptions, conserved in a manuscript of Iohannes de Livonia dated 1453 and now in the Biblioteca Civica of Padua ("C.M." 172).

paragraph: Another lost work, a "tractatulum Galieni occultam seriem explicantem in distinctione dispositionum corporum humanorum, quorum in libro Microtegni sub brevitate restrinxit reales differentias inter illas, preterquani in paucis assignatum", was probably written at Pavia during the plague of 1383, and may have discussed the "De complexionibus" of Galenus.

paragraph: The short practical treatise on the avoidance of plague, "De modo vivendi tempore pestilentiali", was written shortly afterwards; it was published, in Italian, by Zambrini in 1866, and by Sudhoff in 1911.

paragraph: In natural science, Dondi wrote "De fontibus calidis agri Patavini", dedicated to his friend Iacopino da Angarano, and preserved in autograph manuscript in the Biblioteca del Seminario of Padua (ms. 358) and in a copy in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan (H 107 sup.). Together with the "Tractatus de causa salsedinis aquarum et modo conficiendi sal artificiale ex aquis Thermalibus Euganeis" by his father Jacopo, it was published by Tommaso Giunti in "De balneis omnia quae extant apud Graecos, Latinos et Arabas" in 1553.

paragraph: A manuscript in the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana ("Ms. lat." XIV 223 (4340)), though not in Dondi's hand, contains both his own literary work and selections copied from that of others. It contains his "Iter Romanum", which describes the Roman monuments of Rimini and Rome in a scientific manner, with measurements and transcriptions of inscriptions, and was published by Rossi in 1888; his "Epistolario" of twenty-eight letters, of which the two to Petrarch have attracted particular attention; and his "Rime", consisting of forty-two sonnets, five madrigals and three ballate, published by Medin in 1895 and Daniele in 1990. Musical settings for two of the ballate survive, "La sacrosanta carità d'amore," set by Bartolino da Padova, a copy of which was sent to the poet-minstrel Francesco di Vannozzo, and "Omay çascun se doglia."

paragraph: Dondi's "quaedani apostillae" or notes on a letter of Seneca, mentioned in a manuscript of Gasparino Barzizza from 1411, have not been traced.

paragraph: Section::::The Astrarium.

paragraph: The astrarium was considered to be a marvel of its day. Giovanni Manzini of Pavia writes (in 1388) that it is a work "full of artifice, worked on and perfected by your hands and carved with a skill never attained by the expert hand of any craftsman. I conclude that there was never invented an artifice so excellent and marvelous and of such genius".

paragraph: Dondi writes that he obtained the idea of an astrarium from the "Theorica planetarum" of Giovanni Campano da Novara, who describes the construction of the equatorium.

paragraph: The astrarium was primarily a clockwork equatorium with astrolabe and calendar dials, and indicators for the sun, moon, and planets. It provided a continuous display of the major elements of the solar system and of the legal, religious, and civil calendars of the day. Dondi's intention was that it would help people's understanding of astronomical and astrological concepts. Astrology was then considered a subject worthy of study by the intellectual elite and was taken reasonably seriously.

paragraph: In 1381 Dondi presented his clock to the Duke Gian Galeazzo Visconti, who installed it in the library of his castle in Pavia. It remained there until at least 1485. It may have been seen and drawn by Leonardo da Vinci. The final fate of the clock is unknown.

paragraph: Sydney Percy-Lancaster

paragraph: Sydney Percy-Lancaster, F.L.S., F.R.H.S., M.R.A.S. was born on 19 July 1886 at Meerut, India. His father, Percy Lancaster, was a banker and a talented amateur gardener, who went on to become the Secretary of the Agri Horticultural Society of India in Calcutta, India.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: In 1902 Sydney Percy-Lancaster was apprenticed to the Agri-Horticultural Society and on his father's death in 1904, he was appointed an Assistant. He continued collecting and hybridising the Alipore Canna Collection, started by his father in 1892, they were the most popular garden plant in India at that time. It was said that every Canna cultivar growing in India had been derived from the Agri-Horticultural Society, where the collection was domiciled.

paragraph: In 1910, he became an Assistant Secretary and then the Secretary in 1914 until his retirement in October 1953, after a long service to the society and to Indian horticulture as a whole.

paragraph: Unlike most of his countrymen who packed up and return to England in 1947, upon the independence of India from the British Empire, Percy-Lancaster stayed on and made India his home.

paragraph: In 1947, he was the last Englishman to hold the post of Superintendent of Horticultural Operations, Government of India.

paragraph: In November 1953, he joined the National Botanic Gardens at Lucknow as Senior Technical Assistant because of his early life's association with Sikandar Bagh. He wished to spend the remainder of his life at Lucknow where the gardening traditions of his family began.

paragraph: He served the National Botanic Gardens of India until January 1959 when his son, Alick Percy-Lancaster pressed him to join the family at Salisbury (Southern Rhodesia), taking with him the family's Alipore Canna Collection for enjoyment in retirement.

paragraph: In November 1961, after his wife's death in 1960 and Alick's death in 1961, he returned to the National Botanic Gardens, where he spent the last of his years.

paragraph: Section::::Horticultural achievements.

paragraph: During the work of about half a century in Calcutta, Mr. Percy-Lancaster introduced many new plants from abroad. He had a particular fascination for hybridization work and many plants found in Indian gardens owe their origin to him. A complete list of the hybrids is catalogued in the records of the Agri-Horticultural Society of India. He watched for worthwhile spontaneous mutations. He discovered many interesting mutants in: Acalypha, Canna, Codiaceum, Hibiscus, Malvaniscus, Panax and Sansevieria.

paragraph: In the National Botanic Gardens at Lucknow, he had an opportunity to utilize his knowledge in horticulture for public use. He helped to beautify many parts of the garden, in particular the conservatory with which he has an association as a boy.

paragraph: Section::::Hybridization.

paragraph: Percy-Lancaster had particular fascination for hybridization, and many plants found in Indian gardens originated from his work. His zoned Cosmos called 'Alipore Beauty' renamed 'RatHance' by the famous American seed's man, Bodgers, has been distributed all over the world. There are many Cosmos variations in cultivation, the choicest being the 'Bicolor White Crest'. He has also developed a beautiful pyramidal headed Hollyhock from a presumed cross between "Alcea rosea" and "Malva sylvestris". Repeating his father's cross between "Cooperia" and "Zephyranthes", he obtained a large number of colour variations in the ensuing hybrids named "Cooperanthes". These hybrids are far superior in colour and performance to either parent. "Cooperanthes" has now been merged in "Zephyranthes" proper.

paragraph: He made a number of crosses at varietal and specific level in genera such as, "Amaryllis", "Barleria", "Bauhinia", "Begonia", "Bougainvillea", "Canna", "Cassia", "Chrysanthemum", "Crinum", "Hedychium", "Hemerocallis", "Hibiscus", "Ixora", "Lagerstroemia", "Petunia", "Poinsettia", "Rosa", and "Tecoma".

paragraph: Section::::Recognitions.

paragraph: In recognition of the service rendered by the Agri-Horticultural Society, King George V permitted to prefix the word 'Royal' to the society's name, but following India's Independence, the Society dropped the royal distinction to reflect that independence.

paragraph: BULLET::::- In recognition of his success with "Cooperanthes", Prof. Hamilton P. Traub (Plant Life Society, USA) named in 1954 a horticultural genus "×Sydneya" after him. This genus is based on the hybrids from the cross "Zephyranthes" × "Habranthus".

paragraph: Section::::French Resistance.

paragraph: Geneviève de Gaulle joined the Resistance after the occupation of France in June 1940 and expanded its publicity networks, in particular that of "Défense de la France". She was arrested by Pierre Bonny of the French Gestapo on 20 July 1943, imprisoned in Fresnes and deported to Ravensbrück concentration camp on 2 February 1944. Her fellow-prisoners included Jacqueline Fleury and Germaine Tillion.

paragraph: In 1946 she married Bernard Anthonioz, a fellow resistance member and art editor, with whom she had four children.

paragraph: Fifty years after her release from Ravensbrück Geneviève de Gaulle-Anthonioz wrote the book "La Traversée de la nuit" (literally, "The Crossing of the Night") about her life in the concentration camp and the mutual help among the women. It was translated to English and published by Arcade Publishing as "The Dawn of Hope: A Memoir of Ravensbrück" , and re-published by Points in 1998 as "God Remained Outside - An Echo of Ravensbruck".

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: As an active member and later president of the ADIR (Association of Deportées and Internées of the Résistance),

paragraph: she filed lawsuits against Nazi war criminals, then took part in the rise of the political movement launched by her uncle, Rassemblement du peuple français (Rally of the French People).

paragraph: In 1958, de Gaulle-Anthonioz worked with the cabinet of André Malraux of which her husband was a member. She met Father Joseph Wresinski, then chaplain of the town of Noisy-le-Grand. The suffering of the families she met there revived those which she and other deportees had experienced.

paragraph: Starting as a permanent volunteer, de Gaulle-Anthonioz served as president of the movement ATD Quart Monde from 1964 to 1998.

paragraph: In 1987, she testified in the case of Klaus Barbie.

paragraph: In 1988 she became a member of the French Economic and Social Council, and for ten years fought for the adoption of a law against poverty. Deferred in 1997 due to dissolution of the French National Assembly, her law was enacted in 1998.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: On 21 February 2014, French President François Hollande announced that Mme. de Gaulle-Anthonioz would be interred in the Panthéon.

paragraph: She was interred there in May 2015 in a symbolic funeral. The coffin of Geneviève de Gaulle-Anthonioz at the Panthéon does not contain her remains but soil from her gravesite, because her family didn't want her remains to be parted from those of her husband.

paragraph: Fred Hersch

paragraph: Fred Hersch (born October 21, 1955) is an American jazz pianist and educator. He has performed solo and led his own groups, including the Pocket Orchestra consisting of piano, trumpet, voice, and percussion. He was the first person to play weeklong engagements as a solo pianist at the Village Vanguard in New York City. He has recorded more than 70 of his jazz compositions. Hersch has been nominated for several Grammy Awards, and, as of December 2014, had been on the Jazz Studies faculty of the New England Conservatory since 1980 (with breaks).

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Hersch was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, of Jewish parents. He began playing the piano at the age of four (under the tutelage of Jeanne Kirstein) and started composing music by eight. He won national piano competitions starting at the age of ten.

paragraph: Hersch first became interested in jazz while at Grinnell College in Iowa. He dropped out of school and started playing jazz in Cincinnati. He continued his studies at the New England Conservatory, attracting attention from the press – "a fine showcase for Fred Hersch" – in a college recital. On graduation, he became a jazz piano instructor at the college.

paragraph: Section::::Career.

paragraph: One of Fred Hersch's earliest professional engagements was with Art Farmer in Los Angeles in 1978. Jazz critic Leonard Feather wrote that he "showed his ability as an accompanist and soloist at the out-of-tune piano". He played with Farmer again in 1981. In 1982, the album "A Work of Art" (Art Farmer Quartet, Concord Jazz CJ-179), was released, with Hersch on piano. It included two original compositions by Hersch. Leonard Feather gave it 3½ stars.

paragraph: In 1980, the Fred Hersch Trio played at B. Dalton Bookseller, one of many fringe events that were an offshoot of the Newport Jazz Festival.

paragraph: In 1981, he and his trio played for singer Chris Connor, who was making a comeback after completing a recovery program for alcoholism.

paragraph: He played at the Kool Jazz Festival in 1981, and with Joe Henderson in the New Jazz at the Public series in the same year.

paragraph: In 1983, Hersch played a duo session with bassist Ratso Harris at the Knickerbocker Saloon, New York. "The New York Times" wrote, "Mr. Hersch is a romantic. He is openly involved in what he is playing and projects this involvement with body English and facial expressions that subtly underline the sense of his music. His lines often become gently billowing waves of sound, and he rises and falls, tenses and relaxes along with them."

paragraph: In 1983–84, Hersch played many sessions with Jane Ira Bloom in several venues, and with whom he recorded the album, "Mighty Lights".

paragraph: In 1985, he played with the Jamie Baum Quartet.

paragraph: In 1986, he played with Toots Thielemans at the Great Woods jazz festival. He played with him in several sessions the following year, and again in 1987, receiving special attention for his solos. In 1986, he taught at Berklee College of Music.

paragraph: He was the pianist for the Eddie Daniels quartet in 1987 and appeared on his album, "To Bird with Love".

paragraph: In 1988, Hersch played in Somerville, Massachusetts with his quintet at the Willow Jazz Club. The Boston Globe described him as "an elegant, highly melodic player."

paragraph: In 1989, Hersch played with Janis Siegel of The Manhattan Transfer and they recorded together in a studio set up in his home. His first solo piano recording came in 1993: "Fred Hersch at Maybeck".

paragraph: In 2006, Palmetto Records released the solo CD "Fred Hersch in Amsterdam: Live at the Bimhuis", and released his eighth solo disc, "Fred Hersch Plays Jobim", in 2009.

paragraph: Section::::Composing.

paragraph: Hersch's career as a performer has been enhanced by his composing activities, which are an important part of nearly all of his concerts and recordings. He has received commissions from the Gilmore Keyboard Festival, the Doris Duke Foundation, the Miller Theatre at Columbia University, the Gramercy Trio and the Brooklyn Youth Chorus. A disc of his through-composed works, "Fred Hersch: Concert Music 2001-2006", was released by Naxos Records.

paragraph: A number of Hersch's compositions have been transcribed by music publisher Edition Peters. These include "Valentine", "Three Character Studies", "Saloon Songs", and "24 Variations on a Bach Chorale".

paragraph: Hersch was awarded a 2003 Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship for composition. In the same year, he created "Leaves of Grass" (Palmetto Records), a large-scale setting of Walt Whitman's poetry for two voices (Kurt Elling and Kate McGarry) and an instrumental octet; the work was presented in March 2005 at Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall as part of a six-city U.S. tour.

paragraph: Section::::Accompanist.

paragraph: Hersch has collaborated with a variety of instrumentalists and vocalists in the worlds of jazz (Joe Henderson, Charlie Haden, Art Farmer, Stan Getz and Bill Frisell); classical (Renée Fleming,Dawn Upshaw, Joshua Bell, Christopher O'Riley, Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg); and Broadway (Audra McDonald). Hersch has accompanied jazz vocalists such as Nancy King, Norma Winstone and Kurt Elling.

paragraph: Hersch has taught at The New School and Manhattan School of Music, and conducted a Professional Training Workshop for Young Musicians at The Weill Institute at Carnegie Hall in 2008.

paragraph: Section::::Nominations.

paragraph: Section::::Nominations.:Grammy Award nominations.
