The close-up, multiple angle and high resolution shots of the performance gave a view not even accessible to an audience member sitting in the front row.” — Elizabeth Lyon in The Hudson Review Miller Theatre at Columbia University School of the Arts announces LIVE FROM COLUMBIA Pop-Ups from Morningside Campus Co-presented with Columbia School of the Arts Miller Theatre continues its popular Pop-Up Concerts series, offering audiences a virtual front-row seat to three performances filmed on Columbia University's Morningside campus.

From Melissa Smey, Executive Director Arts Initiative and Miller Theatre: "I am thrilled to continue our Live from Columbia series with the School of the Arts, welcoming a global audience to incredible, free performances. This fall we celebrate Miller Theatre’s commitment to contemporary music, with two world premieres presented alongside important recent works. Viewers will enjoy an immersive, up- close perspective of beautifully filmed performances on the Morningside campus. I am especially excited to share one of Columbia's most iconic reading rooms in Butler Library for a rare concert event." LIVE FROM COLUMBIA Pop-Ups from Morningside Campus Co-presented with Columbia School of the Arts Miller invites the public to take a virtual front-row seat to performances by world-class musicians as part of its celebrated (and free) Pop-Up Concerts. In anticipation of the return of in-person programming, Miller shares rare, up-close access to concert experiences in unique Columbia settings, and highlights its commitment to contemporary music, including the long-awaited world premiere of Mundoagua, a new commission from the School of the Arts in honor of Columbia's Year of Water. In previous years of Pop-Up Concerts, audiences sat onstage and enjoyed a free drink during these hour-long weeknight concerts, and mingled with the musicians and fellow concertgoers after the show. This season’s iteration features a change in setting for the performers and the listeners, but still offers the same intimate opportunity to experience music—virtually. Viewers can tune in to millertheatre.com/live-from-columbia to watch and learn more. Arturo O'Farrill, photo by Laura Mariet Live Stream: Saturday, September 18, 2021 at 4pm Filmed from the Miller Theatre stage Arturo O’Farrill & the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra This fall, as campus life and society relaunch, art plays a leading role. Livestreamed from the Miller stage, located just inside the entry gates to the Morningside campus, Arturo O’Farrill and the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra perform an exciting program. In 2019, Columbia University launched the Year of Water, an interdisciplinary investigation of water in all of its social, political, cultural, economic, and environmental complexities. As part of the initiative, the School of the Arts commissioned the composer, musician, and seven-time GRAMMY Award-winner Arturo O’Farrill to write a new work. Mundoagua receives its long-awaited world premiere, paired with another work by O’Farrill, Gulab Jamón, both performed by the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra, “one of the best jazz orchestras in existence" (The New Yorker). Program: Arturo O’Farrill: Mundoagua (2020) world premiere, commissioned by Columbia University School of the Arts in honor of Columbia's Year of Water Arturo O’Farrill: Gulab Jamón (2019) Commissioned by The Greene Space through the auspices of the J L Greene Foundation * Plus: A Special Lecture by Arturo O'Farrill Tuesday, September 14 More info and Livestream at https://lenfest.arts.columbia.edu/events/arturo-ofarrill-transposing-genres- fluidity-arts Transposing Genres — Fluidity in the Arts Introduced by Carol Becker, Dean of Columbia University School of the Arts Arturo O’Farrill, composer, pianist, and Professor of Global Jazz Studies at UCLA’s Herb Alpert School of Music, will discuss several aspects of his music, including how a classically trained musician with an Irish-Mexican-Cuban-German heritage and a propensity toward the avant-garde became the poster boy for Afro Latin Jazz, as well as the creative process in his music, his influences, process, and his newest composition, Mundoagua. Co-presented by the Arts Initiative; Center for Jazz Studies, Columbia Global Centers, Institute for Latin American Studies, The Institute for Research in African-American Studies, Miller Theatre, Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute, and the School of the Arts. Simone Dinnerstein, photo by Lisa-Marie Mazzucco Video premiere: Tuesday, October 12 at 7pm Filmed in Butler Library Simone Dinnerstein, piano Presented in collaboration with Columbia University Libraries Composer Richard Danielpour listened repeatedly to pianist Simone Dinnerstein’s recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations over the pandemic in search of solace and peace. During that time he became inspired to write a new work for solo piano dedicated to the many individuals affected by this dark period. Dinnerstein performs An American Mosaic in the rare setting of one of Columbia’s most iconic reading rooms in the prestigious Butler Library. Program: Richard Danielpour: An American Mosaic (2020) originally commissioned by Oregon Bach Festival Yarn/Wire, photo by Cherylynn Tsushima Video premiere: Tuesday, November 9 at 7pm Filmed from the Miller Theatre stage Yarn/Wire Laura Barger and Julia Den Boer, piano Russell Greenberg and Sae Hashimoto, percussion The “fearless” (Time Out NY) percussion and piano quartet Yarn/Wire performs a pair of works written expressly for them. Thomas Meadowcroft’s Walkman Antiquarian, which juxtaposes music technologies to create an altogether unique sonic experience, is paired with the world premiere of Laminar Flow by the Italian composer and sound artist Zeno Baldi. Program: Thomas Meadowcroft: Walkman Antiquarian for grand piano, sampler, and two percussion (2013) Zeno Baldi: Laminar Flow for piano and percussion quartet (2020-21), world premiere About the Artists Arturo O’Farrill Arturo O'Farrill (pianist, composer, and educator) was born in Mexico and grew up in New York City. He received his formal musical education at the Manhattan School of Music and the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College. His professional career began with the Carla Bley Band and continued as a solo performer with a wide spectrum of artists including Dizzy Gillespie, Lester Bowie, Wynton Marsalis, and Harry Belafonte. In 2007, O’Farrill founded the Afro Latin Jazz Alliance as a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the performance, education, and preservation of Afro Latin music. In December 2010, he traveled with the original Chico O’Farrill Afro Cuban Jazz Orchestra to Cuba, returning his father’s musicians to his homeland. He continues to travel to Cuba regularly as an informal cultural ambassador, working with Cuban musicians, dancers, and students, and bringing local musicians from Cuba to the U.S. and American musicians to Cuba. Arturo O’Farrill has performed with orchestras and bands including his own Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra and the Arturo O’Farrill Sextet, as well as other orchestras and intimate ensembles in the U.S., Europe, Russia, Australia, and South America. An avid supporter of all the arts, he has performed with Ballet Hispanico and the Malpaso Dance Company, for whom he has written three ballets. In addition, the Alvin Ailey Dance Company toured a ballet entitled “Open Door,” choreographed by Ron Brown to several of O’Farrill’s compositions and recordings. Ron Brown’s Evidence Dance Company has commissioned him to compose New Conversations, which premiered in the summer of 2018 at Jacob’s Pillow in Becket, MA. He has received commissions from Meet the Composer, Jazz at Lincoln Center, The Philadelphia Music Project, The Apollo Theater, Symphony Space, the Bronx Museum of the Arts, the Young People's Chorus of New York, Columbia University, and the New York State Council on the Arts. O’Farrill’s well-reviewed and highly praised “Afro-Latin Jazz Suite” from the album CUBA: The Conversation Continues (Motéma) took the 2016 GRAMMY Award for Best Instrumental Composition and the 2016 Latin GRAMMY Award for Best Latin Jazz Album. His powerful “Three Revolutions” from the album Familia-Tribute to Chico and Bebo was the 2018 GRAMMY Award winner for Best Instrumental Composition. His most recent album Four Questions (ZOHO), which won the 2020 GRAMMY Award (his seventh) for Best Latin Jazz Album, is the first to embody all original compositions, including the title track, which features the brilliant orator Dr. Cornel West.

  • A Global Sampling of Piano Music from 1978 to 2005: a Recording Project
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: A GLOBAL SAMPLING OF PIANO MUSIC FROM 1978 TO 2005 Annalee Whitehead, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2011 Dissertation directed by: Professor Bradford Gowen Piano Division, School of Music Pianists of the twenty-first century have a wealth of repertoire at their fingertips. They busily study music from the different periods Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and some of the twentieth century trying to understand the culture and performance practice of the time and the stylistic traits of each composer so they can communicate their music effectively. Unfortunately, this leaves little time to notice the composers who are writing music today. Whether this neglect proceeds from lack of time or lack of curiosity, I feel we should be connected to music that was written in our own lifetime, when we already understand the culture and have knowledge of the different styles that preceded us. Therefore, in an attempt to promote today’s composers, I have selected piano music written during my lifetime, to show that contemporary music is effective and worthwhile and deserves as much attention as the music that preceded it. This dissertation showcases piano music composed from 1978 to 2005. A point of departure in selecting the pieces for this recording project is to represent the major genres in the piano repertoire in order to show a variety of styles, moods, lengths, and difficulties. Therefore, from these recordings, there is enough variety to successfully program a complete contemporary recital from the selected works, and there is enough variety to meet the demands of pianists with different skill levels and recital programming needs.

    Desire WORLD PREMIERE MUSIC BY Hannah Lash LIBRETTO BY Hannah Lash, with Cori Ellison Commissioned by Miller Theatre at Columbia University © 2018 Schott Helicon Music Corporation Wednesday, October 16, 8 p.m. | Thursday, October 17, 8 p.m. Click on a section to learn more OVERVIEW SYNOPSIS NOTES CREATIVE TEAM CAST OVERVIEW Desire Wednesday, October 16, 8 p.m. | Thursday, October 17, 8 p.m The performance runs approximately 65 minutes with no intermission. A flowering garden sets the scene for the world premiere of award-winning composer Hannah Lash’s newest chamber opera. Written for a cast of three singers and string quartet, Desire grapples with the human, personal struggle of trusting oneself in the midst of doubt. The score paints a lush sonic landscape, performed by the adventurous JACK Quartet, and transports audiences to this metaphoric garden of creativity. Major support for Desire is provided by Francis Goelet Charitable Lead Trusts. Additional support is provided by the Howard Gilman Foundation. Desire SYNOPSIS Present day. Set in a bedroom without definitive boundaries. A man and a woman lie in bed. The man sleeps, while she lies awake. The woman quietly climbs out of bed slowly, careful not to wake the man. The woman moves to the outer parts of the bedroom where it is dark. A warm, cavernous environment emerges. She calls out and is surprised to hear an echo. She continues to call out, the echo responds. Is it another person? She discovers curiosities around her and wonders if they may be hiding other secrets. She then discovers a figure who seems to belong to this mysterious space.
