PREMIERE AND PREVIEW OF TWO PORTRAITS
Waschka's music portraits of two North Carolina State Universty faculty members were given premiere or preview performances in February of 2016.
On February 19, 2016 the premiere performance of A Portrait of Stephanie Spenser was given at the Southeastern Composers League festival at Campbell University. The electronic music piece uses sounds such as a recording of a horse walking and one stone hitting another along with a sonic mapping of the cover of one of Dr. Spenser's books and a photo of Dr. Spenser and her horse Clancy to develop a musical portrait of Prof. Spenser, who teaches at North Carolina State University.
On February 7, 2016 a special preview performance of another musical portrait -- that of Dr. Jonathan C. Kramer was presented at North Carolina State University. A Portrait of Jonathan C. Kramer features manipulated recordings of Prof. Kramer playing the cello, references to his work as an ethnomusicologist, as well as a mapping of a photograph of Dr. Kramer. Kramer presented the piece, which exists as an acousmatic or "tape" work and as a piece that can be performed by a cellist together with the "tape" part was presented in Stewart Theatre in Raleigh as part of concert that included the other works by Schubert and Brahms. Besides Kramer, performers in the concert were Olga Kleiankina and Peter Askim of NC State, Scott Rawls of UNCG, and Sarah Johnson of Converse College.

BRNO PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA RECORDS WASCHKA PIECE
A recording of Waschka’s orchestra piece, Belgrade Overture, has been released (November 2013) on the Australian record label, Ablaze. The Brno Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by British conductor Mikel Toms, recorded the work for a compact disc aimed at highlighting some of the best composers of new music for orchestra from throughout the world. The disc is called “Orchestral Masters.” Other composers on the disc come from Japan, Columbia, Greece, China, as well as the US.
Waschka composed the piece in 2008 for the Radio Television (RTS) Symphony Orchestra of Serbia with the help of a computer program he designed based on the concept of genetic algorithms. The work, scored for a standard orchestra, also makes use of a Serbian folk tune.
Belgrade Overture received its world premiere in the Kolarac Foundation Hall in Belgrade, Serbia on November 22, 2008, given by the RTS Symphony Orchestra of Serbia conducted by Bojan Sudjic, as part of the International Review of Composers festival. Belgrade Overture has since been performed in the United States by the Knox-Galesburg Symphony conducted by Bruce Polay.

Mikel Toms studied at Oxford and has conducted the Royal Philharmonic, the London Chamber Orchestra, and many other groups in the UK and abroad and is now Director of Recordings for the Brno Philharmonic Orchestra.

RE-RELEASE OF WINTER CONCERTO NAMED “RECORD OF THE MONTH"
"If you buy one CD set this month or, for that matter, over the next twelve, you should consider A European Odyssey, A remarkable musical adventure with the London Schubert Players." --- from a Composition:Today review of the CD set, which includes Waschka's Winter Concerto.
The recording of Waschka's Winter Concerto by the London Schubert Players chamber orchestra with Huw Morgan trumpet soloist has been re-released on the prestigious Nimbus label (England) as part of a 3-CD set, "A European Odyssey" (NI6195). The re-release package, which presents seventeen selected compositions (fourteen new works and three older works by Mendelssohn, Saint-Saens and Enescu) from the original set of Invitation to Composers recordings, has been named "Record of the Month" by Composition:Today.
Pianist Anda Anastasescu founded and serves as the Artistic Director of the London Schubert Players. The recordings were part of a London Schubert Players project called "Invitation to Composers", which featured thirty-five new works performed and recorded on seven CDs. That project was supported by the European Union Culture Fund, the London Schubert Players Trust, the Lionel Tertis Foundation of London, and the Romanian Cultural Institutes of Paris, and London, among others.
The original set or recordings has also been reviewed by Peter Grahame Woolf for Musical Pointers. More information on the original RMA release of this recording can be found here. Information on the premiere of Winter Concerto in London can be found here.
WINTER CONCERTO RECORDING RELEASED ON RMA LABEL IN LONDON

The London Schubert Players chamber orchestra recorded the work for a compact disc called "As You Like It". The recording, supported by a grant from the European Union, features Huw Morgan performing on trumpet.

The work, scored for trumpet, piano, and strings, is in three movements and makes use of the Romanian folk song, "Jiana" as transcribed by Lyuben Dossev. "I divided the folksong into three parts, and used one part in each of the three movements of my Winter Concerto," Waschka said.
Winter Concerto, written for the LSP chamber orchestra, received its world premiere in Enescu Hall in London on July 8, 2010, performed by the LSP. Other works recorded on the CD include pieces by Camille Saint-Saens and Hans Werner Henze.
Trumpeter Morgan, Brass winner of the British Broadcasting Corporation's "Young Musician of the Year" in 2006, was the youngest ever winner of the International Trumpet Guild (ITG) Solo Competition in 2005, and completed a rare double by becoming the youngest winner of the ITG Orchestra competition in 2008.

PIANO CONCERTO PREMIERED IN EUROPE
Plenty of snow outside, but fireworks inside Glinka Hall at the world premiere of Waschka's Piano Concerto in Russia.
Rodney Waschka's Piano Concerto was given its world premiere in St. Petersburg, Russia on November 27, 2010 featuring soloist Olga Kleiankina performing with the St. Petersburg Chamber Philharmonic conducted by Jeffery Meyer.
The twenty-minute work was composed for pianist Olga Kleiankina and commissioned by the St. Petersburg Chamber Philharmonic. The performance was part of the annual Sound Ways Festival. Traditionally, the Sound Ways Festival consists of works by Russian composers and a featured guest composer.
Past Sound Ways festivals have hosted composers Gyorgy Ligeti, Karlheinz Stockhausen, George Crumb, and Brian Ferneyhough. This year Waschka was on hand for the premiere of his Piano Concerto at the large-scale orchestra concert of the Festival that included works by Ligeti, Alexander Radvilovich, and Steve Reich. In the past, Glinka Hall has hosted performances by such luminaries as Franz Liszt, Thalberg, Rubinstein, Glenn Gould, Svyatoslav Richter, Emil Gilels, David Oistrach, Mstislav Rostropovich, and the Russian premiere of Beethoven's 9th Symphony
Program note for the piece:
Piano Concerto (2010) was composed for the pianist Olga Kleiankina and the St. Petersburg Chamber Philharmonic, Jeffery Meyer, Artistic Director. The concerto is in three movements and was inspired, in part, by Rachmaninoff’s Études Tableaux and some of the piano pieces from Tchaikovsky’s opus 39. In particular, music from opus 39, numbers 3 and 16 is heard in the first movement; number 16 appears in the second movement, and number 13 in the final movement. The Piano Concerto was composed with the help of a computer program designed and coded by the composer based on genetic algorithms, also known as evolutionary algorithms. This work was supported, in part, by a grant from North Carolina State University.
