RECITALS:
Regina Mushabac offers recital programs
that include works from the standard cello repertoire in addition to a wide
variety of less played contemporary pieces and encore selections. In addition, Mushabac is known for her
transcriptions of violin classics. For
example, she often includes a Mozart Violin Sonata that she arranged for
cello. Program lengths and repertoire
vary according to the request of the presenter.
Mushabac adjusts a program to accommodate the audience. For example, some audiences prefer an entire
second half of encores that have familiarity and appeal. Other audiences prefer
exposure to new music. In most recitals, Mushabac speaks to the audience,
giving a brief explanation, description, or anecdote about the work to be
performed. CONCERTOS: Mushabac plays the complete repertoire of
standard cello concertos as well as a large selection of contemporary works
including composers Steve Mackey, Karel Husa, David Crumb, Loris Chobanian, Frederick
Koch, Roger Reynolds, Rudolph Bubalo, and Donald Freund, MASTER
CLASSES: Mushabac has been professor of cello for 28 years. Her lengthy history of teaching has given her
many years of master class experience.
She is comfortable and successful with all levels and ages from
elementary youngsters to sophisticated graduate students. Classes range from one to three hours and can
cover any of the literature. WORKSHOPS AND SCHOOL PRESENTATIONS: Mushabac offers a spectrum of workshops for school settings from a kindergarten class that has never seen a cello to a full house assembly. With three children of her own, she’s made frequent appearances in the school system. She is comfortable and enthusiastic working with youngsters and captivates the attention of all.
