中文名：Jodie De Salvo 别名：朱迪·德萨尔沃 国籍：美国 简介：Jodie DeSalvo has captured national and international attention with her classical and jazz interpretations of the masters of keyboard literature. Upon winning the Artist International Competition in 1988, Ms. DeSalvo made her Carnegie Hall debut to critical acclaim with an encore performance two years later at Lincoln Center. She has been a top prize winner in the Young Keyboard Artists Competition, the American Music Scholarship Competition and the National Federation of Music Clubs Competition. A graduate of the Hartt and Manhattan Schools of Music, and a former student of John Browning and Gary Graffman, she is also a past recipient of the Artist Fellowship Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. 从艺历程：Ms. DeSalvo has toured extensively as piano soloist appearing with the orchestras of Chicago, Geneva, Lucerne, San Francisco, Hartford, and Chautauqua under the batons of noted Maestros Christopher Wilkins, David Effron and Gisele Ben Dor. Having called Fort Wayne her home for nine years, she has appeared with the Fort Wayne Philharmonic numerous times under the direction of Ron Ondrejka and Edvard Tchivzhel. A frequent soloist with the Naples Philharmonic, she has appeared on the classical and pops series with Jorge Mester, Jeff Tyzik, Bruce Hangen., and Stuart Chafetz. A noted chamber player, Ms. DeSalvo has appeared with cellists Sharon and Keith Robinson, violinists Glenn Basham and Jennifer Frautschi, pianist Robert Wells, the Miami String Quartet, the Bergonzi String Quartet and members of the American String Quartet. She has performed at such prestigious festivals as Brevard, Chautauqua, Birch Creek, as well as over 100 times on National Public Radio. Ms. DeSalvo has become equally proficient as a conductor. Having built choral programs in several private and public schools, she has traveled with her high school chorus on a 10-day tour of Italy during Easter week. The chorus performed in Venice, and Florence, culminating in a performance in Rome on Easter Sunday. She returned to Italy and Greece the following year and last spring completed a concert tour throughout England and France. This spring, Ms. DeSalvo will appear at Carnegie Hall in New York City with the High School Chorus from Seacrest Country Day School. Jodie DeSalvo loves to play the piano and loves to have fun, so it is within the last two years that she has broadened her horizons on the concert stage by giving tribute concerts to the art of Victor Borge, renowned pianist/comedian. She has found great joy in interpreting some of his best loved skits, including Phonetic Punctuation and Inflationary Language, as well as writing some of her own original material. These concert performances are well loved and enjoyed by audiences of all ages! Ms. DeSalvo has recorded and produced 10 CDs of solo literature, chamber and choral music, which are available for purchase at tonight’s performance. As she continues to perform extensively, Ms. DeSalvo is also Director of Fine Arts and Artistic Director of concerts at Seacrest Country Day School, as well as the music director at Unity Church in Naples Florida. Ms. DeSalvo’s recital/ lecture series at Artis-Naples is now in its tenth year and has sold out for the last two seasons. 个人生活：From Carnegie Hall to Bonita Springs Jodie DeSalvo Lights up the Stage Jodie DeSalvo has been making beautiful music since she was eight years old. As the daughter of an opera singer, DeSalvo’s passion for music spans generations. After beginning piano lessons at her elementary school DeSalvo announced to her mother, “I want to be a pianist.” That dream mixed with Jodie’s unmistakable talent and passion earned her a Carnegie Hall debut where she performed to a sold out crowd and won critical acclaim at the age of 28. This Thursday, July 12, Jodie DeSalvo will be taking the stage at the Center for the Arts of Bonita Springs’ Café Theater at the Promenade for one show performing “The Greatest Classics Ever Written.” DeSalvo’s performance on Thursday offers the audience a more intimate experience than Carnegie Hall or Lincoln Center where she has also played. While enjoying a glass of wine and hors d’oeuvres, guests will be treated to a program that includes classics from Bach to Gershwin. “Every piece you will know, recognize and love,” promises DeSalvo. DeSalvo has an impressive educational background that includes graduating from the Hartt and Manhattan schools of music and as a student of such noted teachers as John Browning, Gary Graffman, Jascha Zayde and Nina Svetlanova. Jodie found a way to pay forward all of the lessons taught to her when she began teaching at Seacrest Country Day School. At the time Seacrest did not have a formal chorus so Jodie began a musical program that spanned pre-kindergarten to 12th grade. “She has had a tremendous impact,” says Erin Duffy, head of the Upper School. “Every year the number of students participating increases. Her enthusiasm encourages students who might never have tried music to sing.” More than half of Seacrest’s high school students sing with the choir. Jodie’s impact is evident when you walk through the halls of Seacrest Country Day School. Pianos at Seacrest seem to posses a magnetic field that draws students in. High school students appear unable to pass a piano in the school without one of them sitting down to play and a spontaneous group magically appearing around the piano to break into song. Outside of the television show “Glee,” that type of activity rarely occurs in high schools. With DeSalvo at the helm of Seacrest’s Perfoming Arts Academy, bursting into song is common among Seacrest students.
