MSU BILLINGS NEWS SERVICE — Duo Terlano, the husband-wife team of Johannes Dietrich, violin, and Marie-Aline Cadieux, cello, will perform a recital on Saturday, February 3, at 7:30 p.m., in Cisel Recital Hall, on the Montana State University Billings campus.

Admission will be $8.00 for adults and $5.00 for students. They will perform works by Haydn, Kodaly, Dancla, Cadieux and Gliere.

Duo Terlano has developed an international reputation for dynamic and exciting performances. With a concert repertoire that spans five centuries, Dietrich and Cadieux perform with energy and finesse. As well as standards from the duo repertoire, their programs include rediscovered gems from the Classical and Romantic periods. Duo Terlano actively commissions new works, and has a lengthy list of original compositions and arrangements to its credit. Along with a busy performance schedule, Duo Terlano offers frequent master classes and clinics, both in the public schools and for music educators.

The duo gets its name from the northern Italian town where Dietrich and Cadieux spent their first wedding anniversary.

Johannes Dietrich, a native of Bozeman, Mont., joined the faculty of Lebanon Valley College in 1995 as assistant professor of music and conductor of the LVC Symphony Orchestra. Other duties include teaching music history and conducting, as well as coaching chamber music ensembles. He has studied at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, Austria, and at Montana State University in Bozeman. Dietrich has completed a master of music degree in violin performance and a doctorate in violin performance and conducting, both from the College-Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati.

Dietrich began studying the violin at age five, and shortly thereafter began studying the piano. As a violinist, he has performed concertos with the Billings Symphony Orchestra, the MSU Chamber Orchestra, the String Orchestra of the Rockies, and the St. Martin Chamber Orchestra of Cincinnati. He has toured Ohio with the Antioch Trio, and performed extensively with the Alpine String Quartet. He is a founding member of the Dela’Art trio, a piano trio-in-residence at Lebanon Valley College, and maintains an active performance schedule with Duo Terlano. He has given solo violin recitals throughout the country and also is active as a ragtime pianist.

Dietrich is the founder and conductor of the Bozeman Chamber Orchestra and the Antioch (Ohio) Chamber Orchestra. He has conducted the Cincinnati Junior Strings, the Rocky Ridge Music Center Festival Orchestra, the Montana State University Chamber Orchestra, as well as festival and honors orchestras in six states. He is active as a clinician, and recently completed his term as president of the Pennsylvania/Delaware String Teachers Association.

Cellist Marie-Aline Cadieux, associate professor of music at Kutztown University and adjunct cello instructor at Lebanon Valley College, may be heard as a member of Duo Terlano, with SATORI, the Allentown-based chamber ensemble, and with the Dela’Art Trio, in residence at Lebanon Valley College, as well as in her own solo recitals. She has performed across Europe, but has become an established presence in the Mid-Atlantic music scene since moving to the area in 1999.

Having served for many years as principal cellist for the Illinois Symphony and Illinois Chamber Orchestra, as well as for festival orchestras, including those at Aspen, the Blossom Music Festival, and Great Music West, traveling Broadway shows, and dance companies such as the Mark Morris Dance Company, she brings extensive knowledge of all styles of orchestral playing to her students, many of whom have gone on to win competitions and auditions. In addition, she has toured extensively with the Kirkland Trio, and performed with the Lehigh Valley Chamber Orchestra.

She was a finalist in the Chicago Symphony/Rose Faye Thomas Competition, a fellowship award recipient at the Bach Aria Festival on Long Island N.Y., and has received numerous teaching awards. Her former students may be found in leading college music programs and conservatories across the country, and she frequently gives clinics and master classes for music educators and students.

Cadieux received her master of music degree and also her graduate certificate in performance from Northwestern University, where she studied with master teacher Hans Jorgen Jensen. She earned her doctor of musical arts at Ohio State University, under the tutelage of William Conable. Other influences include Tsuyoshi Tsutsumi, Ko Iwasaki, Harvey Shapiro, Janos Starker, and Menahem Pressler.
