John Musto (Tayer Hall) Musto/Burton Noon-1 P.M ROSEMARY HYLER RITTER Founder/Artistic Director Matthew Morris Associate Artistic Director “Bright is the ring of words when the right man rings them.” – Robert Lewis Stevenson THE COMPLETE RECITALIST MAY 28-JUNE 26, 2016 SongFest 2016 is lovingly dedicated to Marcia Brown and Janet Loranger. Dear Friends, I have been asked countless times “What is SongFest and why bother” – it’s a hard one to answer. A friend wrote “Tis ofen neglected genre of voice and piano song will provide the singers and pianists with a rich view of this world which will nourish them for their entire lives.” I think this sums it up for me. Being here among these amazing faculty and the participants – all of who have their unique gif – is inspiring and uplifing. I invite you in the words of Graham Johnson, “to come and marvel at our array of living, feeling, breathing singers, pianists and composers – some of the best the world has to offer. Visit a class, attend our concerts, meet and hear out singers – the music might just leave you bitten with the same passion and enthusiasm we find around us here at this marvelous Colburn School.” Sincerely, Rosemary Ritter SongFest dedicates the 2016 Program to Marcia Brown & Janet Loranger MARCIA BROWN & JANET LORANGER HAVE BEEN THE TRUE ANGELS BEHIND THE SCENES IN SO MANY MUSICIAN’S LIVES BUT HAVE DEVOTED THEMSELVES AND THEIR CREATIVE ENERGIES ESPECIALLY TO SONGFEST. THE DEVELOPMENT OF CLASSICAL SINGING HAS BEEN THEIR PASSION FOR MANY YEARS. THIS IS A TRUE WEDDING OF SPIRITS IN A JOYFUL ENDEAVOR AND WE ARE SO GRATEFUL FOR THEIR SUPPORT, LOVE AND CARE WHICH HAS TOUCHED SO MANY LIVES! 1 Welcome to Song 2016 “Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, you can.

  • The Eclectic Careers of Eva and Juliette Gauthier Anita Slominska
    Interpreting success and failure: The eclectic careers of Eva and Juliette Gauthier Anita Slominska Art History and Communication Studies McGill University, Montreal April 2009 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ©2009 Anita Slominska Abstract My dissertation explores the eclectic singing careers of sisters Eva and Juliette Gauthier. Born in Ottawa, Eva and Juliettte were aided in their musical aspirations by the patronage of Prime Minister Wilfred Laurier and his wife Lady Zoë. They both received classical vocal training in Europe. Eva spent four years in Java. She studied the local music, which later became incorporated into her concert repertoire in North America. She went on to become a leading interpreter of modern art song. Juliette became a performer of Canadian folk music in Canada, the United States and Europe, aiming to reproduce folk music “realistically” in a concert setting. My dissertation is the result of examining archival materials pertaining to their careers, combined with research into the various social and cultural worlds they traversed. Eva and Juliette’s careers are revealing of a period of transition in the arts and in social experience more generally. These transitions are related to the exploitation of non-Western people, uses of the “folk,” and the emergence of a cultural marketplace that was defined by a mixture of highbrow institutions and mass culture industries. My methodology draws from the sociology of art and cultural history, transposing Eva and Juliette Gauthier against the backdrop of the social, cultural and economic conditions that shaped their career trajectories and made them possible.

MAHLER SYMPHONY NO. 1 “it’s not unheard of for this orchestra and conductor to sound so good together; anyone who’s been going to davies Symphony hall with any frequency in recent years has heard comparable performances. But to hear the dramatic sweep and sonic depth of the performance caught so resplendently on disc—that’s another story. thomas’ dedication to live recordings has never seemed so thoroughly justified.” – San Francisco Chronicle Mahler: Symphony No. 1 SFS-0002 Hybrid SACD MAHLER SYMPHONY NO. 2 SOLOISTS Isabel Bayrakdarian Lorraine Hunt Lieberson with the San francisco Symphony Chorus “At times demoniacally dramatic, [MTT] … yields a forceful, stunning interpretation (sumptuous brass) with sepulchral undertones (strings from beyond the grave). the vocal parts are almost supernatural.… it is a decidedly classy performance.” – Le Monde Mahler: Symphony No.
