Hugo Wolf Centennial Song Festival
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of Austrian composer Hugo Wolf’s death, members of the Florida State University School of Music faculty will present a weekend-long festival of his songs October 17th-18th, 2003. Universally admired for their charm, humor, sophistication and high musical quality, the songs of Hugo Wolf are the ultimate expression of 19th-century German Romanticism. Throughout his brief life (Wolf died in 1903 at the age of 42), the composer would immerse himself in the writings of a particular poet and compose his songs in sudden, concentrated bursts of inspiration, frequently writing two or more songs in a single day. Wolf wrote over one hundred and seventy miniature masterpieces of song between 1888 and 1891, followed by a brief resurgence of inspiration in March and April of 1897, when he composed an additional 24 songs for the Italienisches Liederbuch.

Ben Verdery, guitar
Benjamin Verdery has been described by Guitar Review Magazine as “An American original; an American master.” A pioneer of new music, he has been long established as one of the finest guitarists of his generations. His performances never fail to include a unique program (literally from Bach to rock), along with a few jokes and breath-taking acrobatics, all of which are delivered by a profoundly sensitive musician and virtuoso guitarist.
As a performer, Benjamin Verdery has performed in many countries, including the International Guitar Festival in Havana, Cuba; Festival International de Agosto, Caracas, Venezuela; Theatre Carré in Amsterdam; Chichester Cathedral, England; Bad Urach Schubert Festival in Germany; the 92nd Street Y, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and the Metropolitan Opera, New York and the Ambassador Theater in Los Angeles. He has recorded and performed with such diverse artists as Frederic Hand, Leo Kottke, Anthony Newman, Jessye Norman, Paco Peña, Hermann Prey and John Williams. He regularly performs and records with the Schmidt/Verdery Flute & Guitar Duo (Rie Schmidt, flutes), with Bill & Ben (with Celtic guitarist William Coulter) and with his ensemble Ufonia.
Sponsored by the FSU School of Music and the Classical Guitar Society of Tallahassee.

Bruce Dickey, cornet
Bruce Dickey can be heard on more than five dozen recordings. His solo recording ("Quel lascivissimo cornetto... ") on Accent with the ensemble Tragicomedia was awarded the prestigious Diapason d'or. In addition to performing, Bruce Dickey is much in demand as a teacher, both of the cornetto and of seventeenth-century performance practice. In addition to his regular class at the Schola Cantorum he has taught at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, the Accademia Chigiana in Siena, and the Early Music Institute at Indiana University as well as master classes in the United States, Canada, Europe and Japan. He is also active in research on performance practice, and has published, together with Michael Collver, a catalog of the surviving cornetto repertoire. In 2000 the Historic Brass Society bestowed on him the prestigious Christopher Monk Award for "his monumental work in cornetto performance, historical performance practice and musicological scholarship".

The women singers who make up Cappella Artemisia come from a variety of musical backgrounds, (classical, operatic, folk, pop...) but are united by their love for the early repertoire, while the instrumentalists are all established performers in the field of early music. Since its inception more than ten years ago, Cappella Artemisia has received critical and popular praise, both for the rarity and originality of its repertoire, and for the high quality of its performances.
