Guest guest Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Jaya Jagannatha Dear Maestro Arpadh, Namaste That magical mercury works wonders on you!! Love, Swee Arpad Joo While people are alive they are usually taken for granted, except for some occasionally special feats which may be called to our attention. As soon as they have left us, every virtue one can think of is recalled until they, too, have eventually gone down the road of the forgotten ones. With a shrug of the shoulders it is usually dismissed as " fate. " How much more uplifting, by contrast, it is to give credit to those alive who are presently making contributions in the various arts and sciences for the enjoyment of mankind. There are many to select from, depending upon the specific fields of endeavor. It gives me great pleasure, indeed, to introduce here an artist who not only specializes in one specific field, but shows several expressions of accomplishment which are of equal merit. This one is a concert pianist who as a child prodigy in his native Hungary already made a name for himself, but who, as music director of various symphony orchestras and as recording artist, has himself firmly established as the musical director of the Calgary Symphony Orchestra in Canada. Besides these accomplishments he is a student of Eastern Philosophy and Ancient Languages as well as the Hermetic Sciences in theory and practice. Exemplar is delighted to present Arpad Joo, born in Budapest, Hungary in 1948. The son of a concert pianist, he decided at a very early age to master the piano and that most versatile instrument of'all - the orchestra. When he was 10 he gave his first public concert in the main auditorium of the Franz LisA Music Academy. In the audience was composer Zoltan Kodaly, who later undertook to tutor Arpad as one of only two proteges he had during his lifetime. Along with Kodaly, Mr. Joo has studied with many famous teachers including: Zecchi, Magaloff, Ferencsik, Mathe, Kozma, Gat, Starker, Kodosa and Vacano. Arpad has had many awards and honors bestowed upon him. In 1962 he won the Bartok-Lizst Competition in Budapest and in 1965 won the prize at the Festival de Montreux where critics hailed him as " a poet whose inspiration is limitless. " When only eighteen he won first prize in the International Liszt Piano Competition in Boston. He was awarded scholarships to Juilliard and to Indiana University where he won recognition as one of the finest young conductors to complete graduate studies in Instrumental Conducting. Immediately upon his graduation he was engaged on the Faculty of Music at Indiana University. He was recently the recipient of the coveted " Centenary Award " of the Monte Carlo National Orchestra after his appearance conducting that orchestra as a representative of the U.S. in the UNESCO Concerts of Young Talents. Before moving to Calgary, Arpad spent four years as Principal Conduc tor and Musical Director of the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra. A frequent Guest Conductor in Mexico and Venezuela, he has also completed South American tours, and was highly successful as he conducted at the well known Vienna Summer Festival. He has been seen and heard nationwide over the Public Broadcasting System. He has just completed several symphony recordings with the London Symphony Orchestra and in his native Hungary recorded with the Budapest Symphony the complete works of Bartok this year. As concert pianist Arpad Joo has received acclaim of highest merit. As a student of Eastern Philosophy he has traveled to the near East and to India in order to get first hand information to further his knowledge of Hebrew and Sanskrit. Not satisfied with theory only, he has engaged himself also with practical laboratory work of preclassical Chemistry, up to and including contemporary pharmaceutical research. Anyone with such diverse talents, none of mediocre quality, but of sincere devotional emphasis, is bound to leave an imprint on the sands of time. How fortunate when one still so young in years is endowed with so many gifts, and is making such profuse use of them for the enjoyment of all those who come under such dynamic influence. Undoubtedly the future will hold many surprises in store when Arpad Joo will emerge as an even more versatile individual with present talents encompassed within a conglomerate whole of such dimensions that will bring him recognition as a great humanitarian. This latter statement may sound somewhat prophetic to some, but this is exactly what it is meant to be. Those of us who know Arpad Joo can all look with confidence into the future as our expectations are high and well founded.
