The Anderson Arts Center, a part of Kemper Center, is dedicated to the support and promotion of all arts: fine art, music, dance, literature and drama. The Center, which opened in 1992, seeks to increase awareness of the arts and contribute to arts education in the community by sponsoring performances, exhibitions, workshops, lectures and special events.
The 9,000 square foot mansion began life as a private residence. The majestic ceilings and large, open expanses of wall space, which were distinctive features of the mansion, now lend themselves perfectly to the display of art work. In its history, the Anderson Arts Center has evolved into a full-service, multifunctional arts center, showcasing the work of a variety of local, regional and national artists.
Who were the Andersons? James Anderson was an American Brass executive. His wife was Janet Lance Anderson, the daughter of Andrew H. Lance, a Simmons Company executive, and Emma Bell Simmons Lance. Z. G. Simmons, founder of the Simmons Mattress Company, was Mrs. Anderson's grandfather. Her brother, Gilbert S. Lance held an executive position at the Cooper Company/Jockey International. Gilbert S. Lance Middle School in Kenosha was named in his honor.
Construction began on the mansion in 1929. It was completed in 1931. The mansion has more than 30 rooms. It is a French Renaissance Revival style, two-story, stone and stucco house that was designed by Chicago architects Ralph Milman and Archibald Morphet.

This charming and haunting piece by Japanese composer Yoshinao Nakada blends eastern and western culture in musical form. A spacious right hand melody is hung over the steady, almost hypnotic pulse of left hand chords.
Separate hands practice is crucial in this piece. You want to achieve a sense of the melody floating over the left hand chords, almost as if the two parts are not connected. Follow the fingering as given for the right hand to allow the smoothest, most serene finger legato, and be careful not to land too heavily with the thumb: there should be some tailing off of sound at the end of each phrase. To achieve a beautiful singing sound in the right hand, imagine the fingers are stuck to the keys all the time, and keep the hand and forearm light. (I encourage students to actually check for lightness before they play and to continue to check as they are playing.)
In bar 3 a little crescendo and diminuendo will help shape the repeated figures. The chord and harmony changes in the left hand should also be as smooth as possible: keep the movements very small. Although a pedal marking is given, do not be tempted to try pedalling this piece until the left hand chords are learnt properly.
At bar 9, the music modulates (changes key) into F-sharp minor, and the mood becomes more plaintive, with the right hand figures, now higher in the register, emphasising the twilight atmosphere. Be sure to note the pianissimo marking in the repeat.

I have been music supervising most of my career, initially as a coordinator at Concorde Films in 1995. Prior to that, I worked as a college promoter, specializing in alternative booking in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, an agent trainee and in the Film and Television department at BMI.
Yes, I have been to quite a few of the pre-release events over the years, especially if soundtrack artists are involved. It is a privilege to work on a project with a positive and enthusiastic fan base.
