Mark David Gottlieb: "An all-Gottlieb concert."

M

ark David Gottlieb, who
has composed music for a
loose string of specific per-
formances and media
productions, soon will have his
varied work linked tightly to-
gether in one program.
The concert, scheduled Friday,
May 30, at the Birmingham Uni-
tarian Church, will showcase
compositions that have classical,
romantic, folk, Slovak and Jew-
ish-Russian sounds.
"I've always been drawn to
music," said Gottlieb, 45, who
teaches at Evola Music in Bloom-
field Hills. "I've played drums,
clarinet, French horn and piano."
Gottlieb's irregular composing
projects have come between
earning bachelor's degrees from
California State and Oakland
universities, building a boat to
sail off the beaches of Central
America and Hawaii, and mak-
ing a secondary career out of
crafting fine furniture, now a
pursuit in a home studio in Roy-
al Oak.
The former Californian start-
ed with a teen rock band in his
home state and moved on to
more serious work with I'm Alive,
a 1971 recording for Capitol
Records.
"Commissions came through

musician friends who heard my
compositions and performed with
me," expla.ined Gottlieb.
A featured artist at the 1995
Michigan Composers in Concert
in Detroit, Gottlieb has won
grants from the National En-
dowment for the Arts and the
Michigan Arts Foundation.
Performers in the upcoming
concert include the violin and
cello duo of Nadine Deleury and
Victoria Haltom, clarinetist Bri-
an Bowman, soprano and Uni-
versity of Windsor faculty
member Patricia Willington, pi-
anists Steven Rosenfeld and
Carol Goodman, St. Louis. Eng-
lish horn player Robert Herman
and singer/guitarist Benny
Cruz.
"What's especially nice about
this program is that it was not my
idea to have an all-Gottlieb con-
cert," said the composer, who will
be at the piano to present three
original folk songs. "I was ap-
proached by some of the musi-
cians who will be performing." ❑

The music of Mark David
Gottlieb will be featured at 7:30
p.m. Friday, May 30, at Birm
ingham Unitarian Church, 651
Woodward. For information,
