Composer-Violinist-Musical Archaeologist ELISABETH WALDO has spent her life making scores of musical beauty. Her reputation as an authority on NEW WORLD MUSIC has been of long standing. Early years were spent in rural Eastern Washington on a family ranch near the YAKIMA INDIAN RESERVATION. From the time she was five years old, Elisabeth Waldo and her violin were inseparable. Her violin teachers were immigrants from European Countries who had settled in rural communities and were a real inspiration to this tiny musician. A scholarship to attend the CURTIS INSTITUTE OF MUSIC in Philadelphia up on the recommendation of JASCHA HEIFETZ was followed by symphony experiences with LEOPOLD STOKOWSKI. While performing in MEXICO CITY the great Muralist DIEGO RIVERA heard her music and as a result changed the direction of her musical career. Diego believed that Ms. Waldo's highest calling would be to create new idioms based on the rich cultural heritage of great INDIAN CIVILIZATIONS of the past, and to develop new scores for the future. She continues to do just that at her Rancho cordillera del Norte in Northridge, CA, composing original music and putting on monthly concerts in her New Mission Theatre.

 RadioIndy is pleased to present The Elisabeth Waldo Ensemble with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Land of Golden Dreams "
Elisabeth Waldo’s exquisite CD, “Land of Golden Dreams,” is a diverse collection of world cultures beautifully embellished with instrumental sound textures. Waldo, a talented composer and violinist, has taken her explorations of world cultures and deftly created a relaxed and well orchestrated production of contemporary classical music. Feel the calm ocean waves gently roll onto the shore as the birds call from high above “On a Mystic Island.” Listen as the popping firecrackers light up the music on the processional song “Mr. Chinatown L.A.” while march-like drums keep a bold and strong rhythm. Bright and crisp horns of “Vaqueros at the Roundup” decorate the vibrant and captivating melody while the castanets capture energetic beats. Your senses will be awakened by the delightful CD, “Land of Golden Dreams,” as it is sure to please listeners who love to hear dreamscape sounds, vocal chants, and the soothing ambiance of unusual and striking instruments. -Diane and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team |
