  • Shanghai Quartet 2020-21 Biography
    SHANGHAI QUARTET 2020-21 BIOGRAPHY Over the past thirty-seven years the Shanghai Quartet has become one of the world’s foremost chamber ensembles. The Shanghai’s elegant style, impressive technique, and emotional breadth allows the group to move seamlessly between masterpieces of Western music, traditional Chinese folk music, and cutting-edge contemporary works. Formed at the Shanghai Conservatory in 1983, soon after the end of China’s harrowing Cultural Revolution, the group came to the United States to complete its studies; since then the members have been based in the U.S. while maintaining a robust touring schedule at leading chamber-music series throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. Recent performance highlights include performances at Carnegie Hall, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Freer Gallery (Washington, D.C.), and the Festival Pablo Casals in France, and Beethoven cycles for the Brevard Music Center, the Beethoven Festival in Poland, and throughout China. The Quartet also frequently performs at Wigmore Hall, the Budapest Spring Festival, Suntory Hall, and has collaborations with the NCPA and Shanghai Symphony Orchestras. Upcoming highlights include the premiere of a new work by Marcos Balter for the Quartet and countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo for the Phillips Collection, return performances for Maverick Concerts and the Taos School of Music, and engagements in Los Angeles, Syracuse, Albuquerque, and Salt Lake City. Among innumberable collaborations with eminent artists, they have performed with the Tokyo, Juilliard, and Guarneri Quartets; cellists Yo-Yo Ma and Lynn Harrell; pianists Menahem Pressler, Peter Serkin, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, and Yuja Wang; pipa virtuoso Wu Man; and the vocal ensemble Chanticleer.

Coverscaping: Discovering Album Aesthetics. Museum Tusculanum Press. 2 Abstract The Pomegranate Cycle is a practice-led enquiry consisting of a creative work and an exegesis. This project investigates the potential of self-directed, technologically mediated composition as a means of reconfiguring gender stereotypes within the operatic tradition. This practice confronts two primary stereotypes: the positioning of female performing bodies within narratives of violence and the absence of women from authorial roles that construct and regulate the operatic tradition. The Pomegranate Cycle redresses these stereotypes by presenting a new narrative trajectory of healing for its central character, and by placing the singer inside the role of composer and producer. During the twentieth and early twenty-first century, operatic and classical music institutions have resisted incorporating works of living composers into their repertory.

  • A Survivor from Warsaw' Op. 46
    „We should never forget this.“ Holocausterinnerungen am Beispiel von Arnold Schönbergs ‚A Survivor from Warsaw’ op. 46 im zeitgeschichtlichen Kontext. Karolin Schmitt A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of a Master of Arts in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2011 Approved by Prof. Severine Neff, Chair Prof. Annegret Fauser Prof. Konrad H. Jarausch © 2011 Karolin Schmitt ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT KAROLIN SCHMITT: „We should never forget this.“ Holocausterinnerungen am Beispiel von Arnold Schönbergs ‚A Survivor from Warsaw’ op. 46 im zeitgeschichtlichen Kontext. Die vorliegende Masterarbeit interpretiert das Werk ‚A Survivor from Warsaw‘ von Arnold Schönberg auf der Grundlage der von dem Historiker Konrad H. Jarausch beschriebenen Holocaust-Erinnerungskategorien „Survival Stories“, „Figures of Remembrance“ und „Public Memory Culture“. Eine Analyse des Librettos zeigt, dass dieses Werk einzelne „Survival Stories“ künstlerisch zu einer „Figure of Remembrance“ transformiert und beleuchtet die musikalische und kulturelle Aussage dieser trilingualen Textvertonung im Hinblick auf den Ausdruck von kultureller Identität. In meiner Betrachtung des Beitrages dieses Werkes zu einer „Public Memory Culture“ steht vor allem die Kulturpolitik der Siegermächte in beiden Teilen Deutschlands im Mittelpunkt, welche Aufführungen dieses Werkes im Rahmen von Umerziehungsmaßnahmen initiierten und somit ihre eigenen ideologischen Konzepte im öffentlichen Bewusstsein zu stärken versuchten. Dabei werden bislang unberücksichtigte Quellen herangezogen. Eine Betrachtung der Rezeption von ‚A Survivor from Warsaw’ im 20. und 21. Jahrhundert zeigt außerdem die Position dieses Werkes innerhalb eines kontinuierlichen Erinnerungsprozesses, welcher bestrebt ist, reflektiertes Handeln zu fördern. iii This thesis interprets Arnold Schoenberg’s A Survivor from Warsaw, op.

June 4, 2010 In Low-Key Buffalo, a New-Music Milestone By ALLAN KOZINN BUFFALO — This city may not seem as glamorous a place for a summer new-music festival as Tanglewood in Massachusetts or Ojai in California, and puzzlingly, the University at Buffalo does relatively little to promote the annual June in Buffalo festival, which the composer Morton Feldman founded in 1975. But June in Buffalo has a sense of mission that has made it an important part of the new- music ecology. Its drawing cards are accomplished new-music performers — among them this year, the Arditti Quartet, Signal and Ensemble SurPlus — playing works by established composers.
