Tour highlights include two performances of Giants Are Small’s theatrical reimagining of Stravinsky’s ballet Petrushka, adapted from the Philharmonic’s 2013 A Dancer’s Dream: Two Works by Stravinsky (London); Esa-Pekka Salonen’s Nyx (London, Dublin, Amsterdam, Paris, and Cologne); the World Premiere of Peter Eötvös’s Senza sangue, co-commissioned by the New York Philharmonic and KölnMusik, with Anne Sofie von Otter and Russell Braun as soloists (Cologne); and a concert featuring highlights from the Philharmonic’s recent concerts as part of CONTACT!, the new- music series (London). The tour marks the Philharmonic’s second residency at the Barbican Centre under the auspices of its International Associates initiative. As part of the residency, the Philharmonic will present its acclaimed staging, in collaboration with Giants Are Small, of Stravinsky’s Petrushka, including during a Young People’s Concert; Esa-Pekka Salonen’s Nyx; Ravel’s Shéhérazade with mezzo- soprano Joyce DiDonato; and a CONTACT! concert featuring highlights from recent CONTACT! performances. The residency will also feature some of the Philharmonic’s signature educational projects, including a performance of works by Very Young Composers of New York and London, a Young People’s Concert featuring the theatrical staging of Stravinsky’s Petrushka, and an interactive installation by Musicjelly — the London-based visual sampling project that experiments with the use of video and new media in music composition and performance — featuring Philharmonic musicians. In addition, Alan Gilbert will present the annual Royal Philharmonic Society Lecture, speaking on Orchestras in the 21st Century: A New Paradigm, April 15 at 7:00 p.m. at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama’s Milton Court Concert Hall. The Philharmonic’s last International Associate residency at the Barbican Centre occurred during the EUROPE / WINTER 2012 tour and totaled four concerts, including a Young People’s Concert, and a series of educational and outreach activities. EUROPE / SPRING 2015 marks the New York Philharmonic’s twelfth concert tour and seventh European tour under the aegis of Credit Suisse. A complete schedule of EUROPE / SPRING 2015 performances appears at the end of this press release. “This will be my sixth European tour with the New York Philharmonic, so I wanted to present programs and projects that reflect the artistic vision that has become integral to our activities at home in New York City,” said Music Director Alan Gilbert. “The Philharmonic musicians are astoundingly versatile, allowing us to bring to European audiences everything from Richard Strauss to Esa-Pekka Salonen. I look forward to returning to cities we have visited before — including Cologne, where we will premiere Peter Eötvös’s new opera, and Paris, where I’m excited to perform in the newly opened Philharmonie — and to making new musical friends in my first-ever performance in Dublin. And our residency in London will capture many of our signature projects, including Giants Are Small’s staging of Stravinsky’s Petrushka, and a chamber concert featuring highlights of CONTACT!, the Philharmonic’s new-music series.” (more) EUROPE / SPRING 2015 Tour / 3 “It is always momentous when the New York Philharmonic travels to Europe,” said President Matthew VanBesien, “but the EUROPE / SPRING 2015 tour is particularly meaningful, as it demonstrates our belief in collaboration with like-minded institutions and our commitment to being a cultural resource to our hometown and around the world. All of this tour’s performances result from a warm, collaborative spirit with our partners, and I am particularly proud of the comprehensive series of informative and inspiring education activities that will take place at London’s Barbican Centre. The combination of performance and classroom activity is a model of how music can strengthen ties across borders.” “I am looking forward to traveling on my first New York Philharmonic tour as Chairman,” said Chairman Oscar S. Schafer. “I know that hearing Alan Gilbert and our Philharmonic musicians perform for the sophisticated and appreciative audiences of these cultural capitals will bring a fresh appreciation for how truly top-notch they are. I thank and congratulate Credit Suisse, the Exclusive Tour Sponsor; their support allows the New York Philharmonic to further advance its commitment not only to be a great orchestra for New York City, but a musical and cultural ambassador around the world.” “We are delighted to deepen our long-standing relationship with the New York Philharmonic by acting as Exclusive Tour Sponsor for their EUROPE / SPRING 2015 tour,” said Gael de Boissard, Chief Executive Officer of Credit Suisse in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. “Alan Gilbert and the exceptionally talented musicians of the Orchestra have developed a program which is sure to delight audiences whether they are revisiting classical pieces or experiencing the Orchestra for the first time. Coupled with unique educational experiences in schools, the magic of the Orchestra will appeal to a whole new generation as a result of this tour.” The EUROPE / SPRING 2015 tour begins with a performance in Dublin at the National Concert Hall on April 16, marking the New York Philharmonic’s first visit to the city in 19 years. The Orchestra then heads to London for its second residency at the Barbican Centre under the auspices of its International Associates initiative; concerts will take place at the Barbican Centre on April 17–19. The tour continues in Amsterdam at the Royal Concertgebouw on April 21–22; Luxembourg at Philharmonie Luxembourg on April 23; Paris at the newly established Philharmonie de Paris on April 25–26; Frankfurt at the Alte Oper on April 28; and concludes in Cologne at the Kölner Philharmonie on April 30–May 1. Tour Programs The repertoire for EUROPE / SPRING 2015 will feature highlights from many of the initiatives introduced during Music Director Alan Gilbert’s tenure — including theatrical collaboration, CONTACT!, commissions, and educational initiatives — in addition to canonic masterworks. EUROPE / SPRING 2015 opens in Dublin with Esa-Pekka Salonen’s Nyx; Ravel’s Shéhérazade, sung by mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato; Ravel’s Valses nobles et sentimentales; and Richard Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier Suite.

Directed and conceived by Doug Fitch and produced by Edouard Getaz, Petrushka blends music with dance, live animation, pre-recorded video, puppetry, and circus arts, and spotlights Philharmonic musicians juggling, acting, and dancing. Featured in the pre-recorded footage will be New York City Ballet principal dancer Sara Mearns; opera star Eric Owens (the bass-baritone who will begin his tenure as the Philharmonic’s

  • Superstar Soprano Measha Brueggergosman Makes Triumphant Return to the Canadian Opera Stage in Opera Atelier’S Award-Winning Production of Mozart’S –Idomeneo–
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 26, 2019 Superstar Soprano Measha Brueggergosman Makes Triumphant Return to the Canadian Opera Stage in Opera Atelier’s Award-Winning Production of Mozart’s –Idomeneo– Lauded Company Makes Ed Mirvish Theatre Debut with Sumptuous Sound, Breathtaking Ballet, and Lavish Scenery Toronto, ON – Opera Atelier is delighted to present their award-winning production of Mozart’s Idomeneo from April 4–13, 2019 at the Ed Mirvish Theatre starring Canadian soprano superstar Measha Brueggergosman, who returns to the Toronto opera stage after an absence of 10 years, in her internationally acclaimed performance as Elettra. Brueggergosman is joined by a luminary cast featuring some of North America’s finest singers including tenor Colin Ainsworth in the title role, mezzo-soprano Wallis Giunta (Young Singer of the Year, 2018 International Opera Awards) as Idamante, soprano Meghan Lindsay as Ilia, bass-baritone Douglas Williams as Neptune, baritone Olivier Laquerre as Arbace, and baritone Bradley Christensen as the Priest. Brimming with Mozart’s show-stopping arias, deeply emotional ensembles, and spectacular ballet, Idomeneo tells the story of the Greek hero who is forced to choose between the life of his son and a terrible promise he has made to the god of the sea. “Idomeneo demands a unique juxtaposition of an extremely formal dramatic and musical structure coupled with an emotional intensity that foreshadows the Romantic movement,” says Opera Atelier Founding Co-Artistic Director Marshall Pynkoski, who also directs the opera. “In Opera Atelier’s production, every element - superbly rendered music, fully-integrated ballet, and historically-informed design - combine to tell this timeless story with precision and clarity.” “We have restored the ballet that closes Idomeneo,” adds Opera Atelier Co-Artistic Director and Choreographer Jeannette Lajeunesse Zingg.

  • 13Th February 2021 Dear All Tomorrow Is One of Those Strangely
    13th February 2021 Dear all Tomorrow is one of those strangely named Sundays – the Sunday Next Before Lent. I’m not quite sure why the ‘next’ comes in , but it interesting that both of the penitential seasons in the church calendar have a countdown… 3rd Sunday before Advent, 2nd Sunday before Lent etc.. We often see Advent and Lent as periods leading up to the exciting seasons of Christmas and Easter, but the church calendar requires us to take them seriously in their own right. What will we be doing for Lent? Let’s gear ourselves up… get ready… set… and, go! In a recent letter I suggested a few books or courses you might be interested in. I also invited anyone to request an ash cross stone, to be left on their doorstep. Please let me know by Wednesday, so that I know how many to prepare. Tomorrow’s service details: Readings – 2 Kings 2: 1-12; 2 Corinthians 4: 3-6; Psalm 50: 1-6; Mark 9: 2-9 Hymns: Jesus on the mountain peak; ‘Tis good, Lord, to be here. Lent Course: Next Thursday is the day after Ash Wednesday, and so we will put our study of Mark’s gospel on hold, and instead follow our Lent Course. The details are the same as always: We will meet on Zoom, Thursdays 2.30-3.30ish pm. The Zoom details are: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/8109399155?pwd=STVVTU44RzJxTFFHbTY1MnI0bjJ2Zz09 Meeting ID: 810 939 9155 Passcode: 1w2C9a Please note that, on Thursday 25th February the Lent Course will take place in the morning , at 10.30am.

  • Navigating, Coping & Cashing In
    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way?

But which Bring a Compass: Part II one is the right one?

  • Berlioz's Les Nuits D'été
    Berlioz’s Les nuits d’été - A survey of the discography by Ralph Moore The song cycle Les nuits d'été (Summer Nights) Op. 7 consists of settings by Hector Berlioz of six poems written by his friend Théophile Gautier. Strictly speaking, they do not really constitute a cycle, insofar as they are not linked by any narrative but only loosely connected by their disparate treatment of the themes of love and loss. There is, however, a neat symmetry in their arrangement: two cheerful, optimistic songs looking forward to the future, frame four sombre, introspective songs. Completed in 1841, they were originally for a mezzo-soprano or tenor soloist with a piano accompaniment but having orchestrated "Absence" in 1843 for his lover and future wife, Maria Recio, Berlioz then did the same for the other five in 1856, transposing the second and third songs to lower keys. When this version was published, Berlioz specified different voices for the various songs: mezzo-soprano or tenor for "Villanelle", contralto for "Le spectre de la rose", baritone (or, optionally, contralto or mezzo) for "Sur les lagunes", mezzo or tenor for "Absence", tenor for "Au cimetière", and mezzo or tenor for "L'île inconnue". However, after a long period of neglect, in their resurgence in modern times they have generally become the province of a single singer, usually a mezzo-soprano – although both mezzos and sopranos sometimes tinker with the keys to ensure that the tessitura of individual songs sits in the sweet spot of their voices, and transpositions of every song are now available so that it can be sung in any one of three - or, in the case of “Au cimetière”, four - key options; thus, there is no consistency of keys across the board.

Tzimon Barto: I’ve always had a predilection for early art: the Italian Trecento and Quattrocento, for instance, and in music, the Renaissance and Baroque. It’s what I listen to for pleasure, so I was familiar with Rameau. But then, in 2001, I saw his opera Platée, performed by Marc Minkowski and Les Musiciens du Louvre: I’ve never seen better opera in my life! That is, until I went to a production of Rameau’s Les Boréades in 2003 performed by William Christie’s incredible group, Les Arts Florissants, and it was the same. Everything was perfectly in sync: the 3 musical interpretations, the direction, sets, costumes, dazzling choreography, yet not in a stud- ied, overly-historical way. Both productions were updated to modern times, and yet they were somehow very Baroque, with similarities to our age of surfeit and excess.
