# Cello Concerto (MacMillan)

The Cello Concerto is a composition for solo cello and orchestra by the Scottish composer James MacMillan. It is the second of three interrelated compositions in MacMillan's Easter triptych Triduum commissioned by the London Symphony Orchestra. The piece was first performed at the Barbican Centre on October 3, 1996 by the cellist Mstislav Rostropovich and the London Symphony Orchestra under the conductor Colin Davis. The work is dedicated to Mstislav Rostropovich.

## Composition

The Cello Concerto has a duration of roughly 41 minutes and is composed in three movements:
* The Mockery
* The Reproaches
* Dearest Wood and Dearest Iron

### Instrumentation

The work is composed for solo cello and an orchestra comprising two flutes (2nd doubling piccolo), two oboes, two clarinets, (2nd doubling E-flat clarinet and bass clarinet), bassoon, contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, three percussionists, piano (doubling celesta), harp, and strings.

## Reception

Robert Cowan of The Independent wrote, "MacMillan's Concerto extends the 'dialogue of extremes' that has proved a pivotal aspect of his earlier work. It opens with a bang, and keeps the soloist busily employed virtually for the duration. It is, in a word, a 'real' Cello Concerto - lyrical, combative, rich in dialogue and scored with a skill that suggests innovative imagination and a marked respect for tradition." BBC Music Magazine also praised the concerto, writing, "One may feel that some of the effects MacMillan uses – the overlaid screaming brass fanfares, the extensive use of percussion – are excessive, but they are contained within a tautly argued, tightly structured whole, and possessed of a thrillingly direct – and profoundly affecting – musicality. I defy anyone not to be moved by this music, whether for its considerable emotional impact or purely the artistry of its musical structures." Arnold Whittall of Gramophone further opined:
   In the Cello Concerto, which continues the drama of conflict between a suffering individual and an oppressive society on a much larger scale, Raphael Wallfisch has a harder time in asserting a suitably charismatic presence, and might have benefited from a slightly more forward placement. As it is, MacMillian’s imaginative orchestral writing threatens to get the best of the purely musical argument: yet it is still difficult not to be moved by the sense of a struggling protagonist, condemned and tortured. The point might be more effectively conveyed in music of greater formal economy (as in MacMillan's much admired Ustvolskaya) but the composer's very direct and uninhibited expressionism shows his determination not to downplay either the portentousness or the horror of what the music contemplates.
# Perceptive Advisors

Perceptive Advisors ("Perceptive") is an American investment firm headquartered in New York City. It is focused on making public and private investments in the healthcare and biotechnology industries.

## Background

Perceptive Advisors was founded in July 1999 by Joseph Edelman. Edelman was previously a senior analyst at Aries Fund, a Paramount Capital Asset Management biotechnology hedge fund as well as a senior bBiotechnology analyst at Prudential Securities. His father was Isidore Edelman, a physician and researcher who became chair of the biochemistry and molecular biophysics department at Columbia University.
The firm's flagship fund is called the Perceptive Life Sciences Fund. The firm takes a high risk approach to investing as the biotech sector is considered very volatile and it take years to develop a drug that could be rejected by the Food and Drug Administration. The firm tends to focus on small and midcap companies and it may overpay for securities if it there is still growth potential or undersell securities if they have further downside potential. To help mitigate day-to-day volatility, it has set a maximum daily loss allowance of five percent on long and short positions.
In 2013, Perceptive launched its first credit fund, Perceptive Credit Opportunities Fund which raised $323 million. It would invest in vehicles such as direct secured loans, royalties and convertible structures for public and private companies.
In August 2018, Institutional Investor stated that Perceptive since inception only had two years of negative returns. It had lost 10.33% in 2002 and 23.98% in 2008.
In December 2019, Perceptive partnered with Xontogeny, a biotech startup accelerator to launch its first venture capital fund, Perceptive Xontogeny Venture Fund which raised $210 million. The fund would invest in biotech companies that were in preclinical development stage and help them move into the early clinical development stages. Prior to that Perceptive invested mainly in later-stage companies.
At the end of 2022, it was reported that Perceptive posted losses of more than 40% during the last two years. These were considered the worst losses in the firm's history.

## SEC SPAC fine

In September 2022, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission sued Perceptive for failing to disclose conflicts of interest related to special-purpose acquisition companies (SPACs). It claimed that in 2020, Perceptive advised its clients to invest in a series of SPACs without disclosing they were owned by both the firm's personnel and a private fund it had advised. Perceptive agreed to pay a $1.5 million fine to settle the case.

# Bradmore Road

Bradmore Road is a residential road in North Oxford, England.
At the northern end of the road is a junction with Norham Road and at the southern end is a junction with Norham Gardens, with the University Parks opposite. Halfway along the road, Crick Road leads east to Fyfield Road. To the west is Banbury Road.

## History and residents

Houses in the road were first leased between 1870 and 1874 on land owned by St John's College. They were mainly designed by Frederick Codd (Nos 1–2 and 13–17) and Galpin & Shirley (Nos 7–12 and 18–20). The houses by Codd are in the traditional North Oxford Victorian Gothic style. St John's College closely controlled the scale and distribution of the houses on the road, with the subsequent designs ensuring provision of adequate rear gardens and front walls and railings.
John Galpin (1824–1891), an auctioneer and Mayor of Oxford in 1873–74 and 1879–80, leased 12 Bradmore Road in 1873. The Dowager Lady Buxton also leased 20 Bradmore Road in 1873. Sir Edward Henry Pelham (1876–1949), the son of Henry Francis Pelham (President of Trinity College, Oxford) and Laura Priscilla Buxton, later Permanent Secretary of the Board of Education between 1931 and 1937, was born in 20 Bradmore Road on 20 December 1876. In 1874, 13 Bradfield Road was leased to William Esson (1838–1916), a mathematician and Fellow of Merton College, Oxford.
Nos 9 and 10 were for a time a Radcliffe Infirmary nurses' home and later an annexe of Green College.
Walter Pater (1839–1894), author and scholar, and his sister Clara Pater (1841–1910), a pioneer of women's education, lived at 2 Bradmore Road. A blue plaque was installed by the Oxfordshire Blue Plaques Board in 2004. Mary Augusta Ward (known as Mrs Humphry Ward, 1851–1920), the social reformer and novelist, lived at 17 Bradmore Road. A blue plaque was installed in 2012. Her husband Thomas Humphry Ward (1845–1926), author and Fellow of Brasenose College, Oxford, leased the house in 1872. Other former residents included Sir Halford Mackinder (1861–1947), considered a founder of modern geography, and the biologist Professor Sir Ray Lankester (1847–1929).
Evolutionary biologist and author Richard Dawkins was a resident.
13 Bradmore Road has been listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England since October 2008. The heritage listing describes the house as one of Cobb's "more successful commissions, standing out from other works by virtue of its overall success as a varied composition, the relatively richness of the masonry detailing, and its prominent corner position in the streetscape".

## Today

St Cross College has accommodation in 2 Bradmore Road. The University of Oxford runs a day nursery at 4c Bradmore Road. Nos 5–8 are owned by Linacre College. Kellogg College has accommodation at 7, 9/10 and 11 Bradmore Road (11 was formerly a St Anne's College house) with 12 and 13 currently being refurbished.

# Cello Concerto (Muhly)

The Cello Concerto is a concerto for solo cello and orchestra by the American composer Nico Muhly. The work was commissioned by the Barbican Centre for the Britten Sinfonia and cellist Oliver Coates, to whom Muhly dedicated the piece. It was first performed on March 16, 2012 at the Barbican Centre by Coates and the Britten Sinfonia under conductor André de Ridder.

## Composition

The Cello Concerto has a duration of roughly 18 minutes and is composed in three numbered movements. The first movement quotes the texture from the opening bar of composer Henri Dutilleux's 1965 orchestral piece Métaboles.

### Instrumentation

The work is scored for a solo cello and small orchestra comprising flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, trumpet, trombone, bass trombone, one percussionist, piano (doubling celesta), harp, and strings.

## Reception

Reviewing the world premiere, Ivan Hewett of The Daily Telegraph praised the Cello Concerto as "instinctively 'musical' in its sharply heard orchestral palette, and its way of energising string cantilenas with off-beat Stravinskian accents." Hewett nevertheless added, "the promising opening soon lost its way, and attempts to restore direction through sudden harmonic shifts couldn't dispel a debilitating sense of drift."
Later reviews of the concerto have been more favorable, however. Reviewing the premiere recording of the piece by the cellist Zuill Bailey and the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra under conductor Jun Märkl, Joshua Kosman of the San Francisco Chronicle called the piece a "lush, invigorating score" and described is as "suffused with a luxuriant beauty that is unafraid — for better or worse — of teetering into sentimentality". Ivan March of Gramophone similarly lauded the composition as an "original and inspired work". Helen Wallace of the BBC Music Magazine said it "presents a smorgasbord of slick ideas, enticingly presented, occasionally lacking in substance."
Russell Platt of The New Yorker wrote:
   Part of what makes a great classical composition unique is its ability to inhabit a vivid present, while touching upon what’s happened before and hinting at what’s to come. And Muhly’s concerto does that wonderfully, providing a constant flow of plangent lyricism that nods to, but doesn’t slavishly imitate, the music of Dutilleux, Adams, Glass, and Britten (with little hat tips to Ravel and Michael Torke).
Platt added, "I respect Muhly's industry in all its forms, but the Cello Concerto is the type of Muhly piece that I will most look forward to."
# Entertainment Building

Entertainment Building (Chinese: 娛樂行) is an office building in Central, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. The neo-gothic architecture and height of the building make it distinctive amongst the office buildings nearby.

## History

Completed in 1846, the first building on the site was the first generation of the Hong Kong Club. After the club moved to its current location at 1 Jackson Road in 1897, the building turned into commercial use, the largest tenant was Yee Sang Fat.
In 1928, the building, along with the Coronet Theatre at its back, were demolished to make way for the construction of the air-conditioned King's Theatre (娛樂戲院). It featured a ballroom as well as a restaurant. The theatre opened to business on 31 March 1931 with Ernst Lubitsch's Monte Carlo.
The theatre closed on 1 September 1962 with a Walt Disney film and was replaced by the second generation of King's Theatre. The rebuilt King's Theatre opened to business on 21 December 1964. It had 1,302 seats. The theatre was in turn closed on 1 January 1990 and was rebuilt into the present building.

## Ownership

In November 1996, Hysan Development Holdings agreed to buy the building from Chinese Estates Holdings, for $3.64 billion, an average price of about $17,300 per sq ft.
In 2005, Hysan announced that it would sell the building for $2.7 billion.
# Perceptions (magazine)

Perceptions was an LGBT news magazine which began publication in 1983 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.

## History and profile

The periodical, founded in 1983 by Gens Hellquist, was the longest-running GLBTQ publication in Canada. The magazine was first published in March 1983 as a bimonthly publication. It provided broad geographical news coverage, but with emphasis on the three Canadian prairie provinces (Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba). Issues also often carried opinion pieces, book and music reviews, articles on local GLBTQ history, and analytical pieces. Health issues in the GLBTQ community were an ongoing concern of the publishers. A directory of GLBTQ prairie organizations was printed in each issue. Later the frequency of the magazine switched to eight times a year.
A detailed index, covering the period 1983 through 2004, is available electronically and in print. The electronic index is freely available to all for searching through the University of Saskatchewan Library's Saskatchewan Resources for Sexual and Gender Diversity website.
Copies of the magazine are held in a number of Canadian libraries, in full or partial runs. See, for example, the holdings of Library and Archives Canada, University of Saskatchewan Library (Saskatoon), University of Toronto's Thomas Fisher Library, and the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives (now renamed ArQuives) (Toronto).
A collection of articles from the periodical has been published under the title: Gay on the Canadian Prairie: Twenty Years of Perceptions, 1983-2002. This collection is available in a limited number of Canadian academic libraries.
Perceptions folded in 2013 when its founder Gens Hellquist died.
# Sonny Clay

William Rogers Campbell "Sonny" Clay (May 15, 1899, Chapel Hill, Texas – April 13, 1973, Los Angeles, California) was an American jazz pianist, drummer, and bandleader, who had an unusual impact on the development of Australian jazz.

## Biography

Clay's family moved to Phoenix when he was eight years old; he played drums and xylophone early in life. From 1915 he studied piano, playing with Charlie Green and Jelly Roll Morton in Mexico around 1920. He drummed for Reb Spikes in California in 1921, and had his first recording experience backing Camille Allen in 1922. Later that year he played with Kid Ory at the Hiawatha Dancing Academy in Los Angeles.
In 1923 he formed his own band, the Eccentric Harmony Six; this ensemble recorded on Vocalion Records as the California Poppies in 1923 and the Stompin' Six in 1925. He also performed under the band names Plantation Orchestra and Hartford Ballroom Orchestra. His band scored a regular gig broadcasting on radio stations KNX in 1925 and KFI in 1926.
In 1928 Clay took his band (billed as Sonny Clay's Colored Idea) on a tour of Australia, with Ivie Anderson (later a vocalist with Duke Ellington) as one of the singers accompanying the orchestra. The group played in Sydney and Melbourne to great success, but problems with unions and with venue changes (their initial bookings were on vaudeville stages, but additional dates in dance halls led them into race-related trouble with local authorities) resulted in their gaining some notoriety. As rumors of drug use and miscegenation between the black band members and white women flew, the group was subject to a police raid which became a national press sensation. As a result, Clay and his band were deported and the Australian government resolved to bar the entry of all black musicians into the country, a ban which kept Louis Armstrong from touring the country until 1954.
Upon Clay's return, he held a residency at the Vernon County Club in Los Angeles, then broke up this band and formed a new one called the Dixie Serenaders, which counted Teddy Buckner and Les Hite among its members. Clay played solo and led bands until 1941, at which time he led a band as a member of the Special Services Division. He retired from music in the 1940s but returned around 1960 to record solo and play in clubs.
