Casts: Jackie Lewis (Student 1), Kurt Qing (Student 2), Jacob Eitel (Student 3), Juan Carlos Venis (R.M.), Joanna Campodonico (J.M.), and and Sara Poirier (H.D.)

"The Suicides" is a play about three anatomy students who are forced to contemplate the deaths of the cadavers upon which they work. Only one of the students grasps at the truth that we should all keep in mind -- that our cadavers were once living people, with relationships, emotions, and fears of their own. Within the enlightened student's imagination, which has lately been influenced by the work of a certain Elizabethan playwright, the deceased share their stories in a way that emphasizes the poetic beauty of a fragile human life.

"Violoncello Concerto in B minor, Op. 104, First Movement: Allegro" by Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904)

Cello: Sarah Bishop (MS IV)
Piano: Frances Gray

Dvorak's cello concerto is considered by most to be the greatest and most challenging cello concerto in the standard repertoire. It is a required audition piece in most major symphony orchestras. Dvorak wrote his last solo concerto over 1894-1895 for his friend and cellist, Hanus Wihan. The piece, however, was premiered by English cellist Leo Stern. There has been much speculation as to why Wihan was replaced by Stern. Perhaps the most bizarre was that Stern gave two rare breeds of pigeons to the composer. Dvorak was a consummate pigeon lover!

Sarah Bishop (cello) is a fourth year medical student currently interviewing for a residency in surgery. Sarah's route to medicine was through music. She has three prior degrees, including Bachelor's of Music in Cello Performance and a minor in Dance Performance, a Master's in Music, with a primary focus in Cello Performance and a secondary focus in Music Composition, and a Bachelor's in Pre-Medical Preparation. Sarah is thrilled to combine her two passions today: music and medicine.

She has been working and teaching in General Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine since 1986. Dr. Gray has paved the way to medicine through music as well.

“Violincello Concerto in E Minor, Op. 85” by Sir Edward Elgar (1857-1934)

Cello: Sarah Bishop (MS III)
Piano: Frances Gray (MD)

Elgar’s ‘Cello Concerto’ is his last major work and a favorite of the standard cello repertoire. At the age of 61, Elgar underwent a tonsillectomy, a very dangerous operation for his age during the early 1900’s. Upon waking from surgery, Elgar asked for a pencil and paper and began writing this concerto. He finished the work in his secluded cottage in Sussex, England, where years previous he had heard the artillery fire from World War I in the distance. This piece is outcry to the pain and disillusionment he experienced from the Great War.

Aimee Szewka and Mark Scozzafave

Synopsis: During a quiet moment alone, the Countess contemplates her decision to switch clothes with her maid, Susanna, in order to catch her philandering husband in the act. In the aria, she laments her loss of happiness and the "beautiful moments" of their youth. With all her trying she cannot forget the love between them, despite his lying ways. While reminiscing she concludes that there must be love left between them and perhaps this scheme may be just what they need to rekindle their former love. She is filled with hope and anticipation of the night's events.

She has been singing since she learned to talk and has performed in numerous musical and operas, but is currently happy to sing in the car, church, and for weddings.

Jatiswaram

Monica Khurana

Monica completed the standard ten-year training in the Indian classical dance Bharata Natyam and graduated from the Kala Vikas School of Asian Indian Dance in 2000.

This dance form is a highly intricate and stylized art that has been preserved for over 3,000 years.

The word jatiswaram denotes a musical composition which follows the rules of jati (unit of time) and swaram (musical scales). The focus and beauty of Jatiswaram is on the continually changing rhythmic patterns, delightful diversity of musical phrasing, sculptural poses, and swiftly changing movements of ang-sanchalan (the body) and pada-sanchalan (feet).

Jennifer and Casey have played together since middle school and still enjoy playing just for fun.
