NORTH AMERICA

1. UNITED STATES: Norfolk, CT, Garrett Lakes, Maryland, and the Harid Conservatory, Boca Raton, Florida.

Parisot enjoyed a long and fruitful association with the Yale Summer School of Music in Norfolk, CT, playing much solo repertoire in addition to his other duties. He often performed new works there before he performed them in larger venues. On occasion he brought his students to perform and sometimes invited illustrious colleagues. The relaxed and informal atmosphere made this festival a special place. And it was here that Parisot also nurtured his interest in art.

Parisot played his first concert at Norfolk with pianist Leopold Mittman on 19 July 1950, a solo program that included the Villa-Lobos Fantasia and the Quincy Porter Fantasy and Dance (the Porter written especially for Parisot)– both pieces that had been on his debut recital earlier in that year. Parisot also gave the premieres of two other solo works expressly written for him, one by Alvin Etler, the Concerto for Cello and Chamber Group, and the other the extraordinary virtuoso solo vehicle with which he had a tremendous success, as we have seen: Parisonatina by Donald Martino. In 1971 Parisot performed the piece that Yehudi Wyner wrote expressly for him, De Novo. And at some point he and Keith Wilson also performed the von Winter Concerto for Cello and Clarinet. Among the major solo concertos that Parisot performed at Norfolk are the Dvorak Concerto, in 1967, the Lalo Concerto, in 1970, and a Hindemith Concerto Op. 36, No. 2, also in 1970. And there were others.

From 1959-1975, a period of seventeen years, Parisot is listed on the faculty of Norfolk; then subsequently he is also listed from 1980-1982, 1985- 1986, and 1989-1990; and there are programs that confirm his continued activity in Norfolk to the late nineties.
