  • ALEXANDER HAWKINS TRIO 'Sounds Like All the Future Jazz You
    ALEXANDER HAWKINS TRIO 'Sounds like all the future jazz you might imagine without ever being able to conceive of the details' (The Guardian) Alexander Hawkins is a pianist, organist, composer and bandleader who is ‘unlike anything else in modern creative music’ (Ni Kantu) and whose recent work has reached a ‘dazzling new apex’ (Downbeat). Self-taught, he works in a vast array of creative contexts. His own highly distinctive soundworld is forged through the search to reconcile both his love of free improvisation and profound fascination with composition and structure. In 2012, he featured on the official ballot for the 75th Annual Downbeat Reader’s Poll in the organ category (as he had in 2010). The journal El Intruso voted him #1 in the keyboard category, and #5 in the piano category, in its 2010 poll; he also placed #4 in the keyboard category in 2011, and at #2 in 2012. His albums have for several years regularly featured in critics’ ‘end of year’ lists. Alongside his work as a bandleader, he regularly appears live and on record with many iconic figures of the music, including Louis Moholo-Moholo, Mulatu Astatke, and Joe McPhee. Other credits include Evan Parker, Wadada Leo Smith, Sonny Simmons, and Marshall Allen. He is also a collaborator in the Convergence Quartet with two important peers from the North American creative music scene – Taylor Ho Bynum and Harris Eisenstadt. He is increasingly also known for his writing, and in 2012 was chosen as a member of the first edition of the London Symphony Orchestra’s ‘Soundhub’ scheme for young composers.

  • The 2018 Guide Festivals
    April 2018 The 2018 Guide Festivals FEATURE ARTICLE 10 Questions, Two (Very Different) Festivals Editor’s Note Our fifth annual Guide to Summer Festivals is our biggest yet, with some 85 annotated entries, plus our usual free access to the 1400 listings in the Musical America database. The details for the 85—dates, locations, artistic directors, programming, guest artists, etc.—have been provided by the festivals themselves, in response to a questionnaire sent to our list of Editor’s Picks. Those are determined by a number of factors: it’s hardly a surprise to see the big-budget events, such as Salzburg, Tanglewood, and Aspen, included. But budget is by no means the sole criterion. The 2018 Guide Programming, performers, range and type of events offered—all of these factor into the equation. For our feature article, we chose two highly regarded events and asked them one set of questions, just for the purposes of compare and contrast. Since George Loomis traveled to Ravenna last summer and knows Ojai well, we decided he was the perfect candidate to get the answers. Our hunch that the two couldn’t be more different turned out to be quite accurate: one takes place over a weekend, the over a two-month period; one is in the U.S., the other in Europe; one is rural, the other urban; one’s in a valley, the other by the sea; one focuses on contemporary fare, the other on traditional; one houses its artists in homes, the other in hotels; one is overseen by a man, the other by Festivals a woman; Ojai’s venues are primarily outdoor and strictly 20th century, Ravenna’s are mostly indoor and date as far back as the sixth century.

  • Chicago Sun-Times COT Opens Season with Engrossing 'Turn'
    Chicago Sun-Times COT opens season with engrossing 'Turn' March 28, 2003 BY WYNNE DELACOMA Classical Music Critic Stage director Diane Paulus and conductor Jane Glover have been intimately involved with Chicago Opera Theater's current rebirth. In 2001, they created a production of Monteverdi's "Orfeo'' that was both stylishly updated and sumptuously sung. For COT's 2002 season, their take on "Cosi fan tutte'' also updated to contemporary times, turned da Ponte's cynical libretto into a thoughtful look at the battle of the sexes without doing violence to one of Mozart's most beautiful scores. Paulus and Glover are working their magic again, opening COT's 2003 season Wednesday night at the Athenaeum Theatre with a production of Benjamin Britten's 1954 gripping chamber opera, "The Turn of the Screw,'' with a libretto by Myfanwy Piper, based on Henry James novella. Using minimal sets and retaining the 19th-century English country setting of James' story, COT's "Turn of the Screw'' takes us into a world as familiar as a Jane Austen novel or a Merchant-Ivory film, yet as disorienting as a fog-shrouded Impressionist landscape. With a strong cast and a superb band of 13 musicians in the pit, Britten's tale of two orphaned children menaced by the ghosts of their dead governess, Miss Jessel, and a mysterious man-servant, Peter Quint, becomes an engrossing swirl of reality and fantasy, unbounded goodness and absolute malevolence. OPERA REVIEW This is a precarious world, one in which the 'THE TURN OF THE SCREW' ghostly Quint and Miss Jessel do battle for the children's souls against their loving new governess (Arianna Zukerman) and kindly HIGHLY RECOMMENDED housekeeper, Mrs.

  • Alexander Hawkins Biography 1/2016
    Alexander Hawkins – Biography Alexander Hawkins is a composer, pianist, organist, and bandleader who is ‘unlike anything else in modern creative music’ (Ni Kantu) and whose recent work has reached a ‘dazzling new apex’ (Downbeat). Self-taught, he works in a vast array of creative contexts. His own highly distinctive soundworld is forged through the search to reconcile both his love of free improvisation and profound fascination with composition and structure. In 2012, he was chosen as a member of the first edition of the London Symphony Orchestra’s ‘Soundhub’ scheme for young composers. He also received a major BBC commission in late 2012 for a fifty minute composition: One Tree Found was first performed and broadcast in March 2013, and was subsequently performed and broadcast for the WDR in Cologne (2014). He has also twice been commissioned by the London Jazz Festival (once as composer, once as an arranger), and by the Cheltenham Jazz Festival (2016). His writing for his own groups has been said to represent ‘a fundamental reassertion of composition within improvised music’ (Point of Departure). One review of his Ensemble’s debut record, No Now Is So (FMR Records), wrote of ‘such absolute joy and strength…an incredible record’ (Clifford Allen, Bagatellen). The album featured heavily in top ten albums of 2009 lists on both sides of the Atlantic. The group’s second album, all there, ever out, was said to mark them out as one of the ‘most vividly distinctive [groups] in modern jazz’ (The Jazzmann). Step Wide, Step Deep, released in late 2013, charts the latest chapter in the group’s development.

True Concord’s audiences have come to expect the highest musical standards in riveting performances by the best choral and instrumental artists from across the country, and this year is no exception! True Concord is known for its relaxed ambience and intimate venues, and yet this season includes two works that demand a larger scale. At UA’s Centennial Hall, we’ll join forces with the Tucson Arizona Boys Choir, UA Dance Ensemble and the charismatic Jubilant Sykes, baritone, for Bernstein’s Mass, and then return to Centennial for Verdi’s monumental Requiem in partnership with UA’s Arizona Choir. Our 14th season is bursting with renowned composers, world-class guest artists, exciting collaborations, a world premiere, two requiems and the theatrical extravaganza of Bernstein’s Mass in January when the Tucson Desert Song Festival celebrates his centenary. In November we celebrate communal bonding, a hallmark of Tucson’s annual Day of the Dead festivities, with concerts that explore the emotions of death and rebirth. And in March, we join with UA’s Poetry Center to laud one of America’s literary giants, Emily Dickinson, in a series of events, including our concerts, that feature her poems and letters set to music. Beauty, reverence, excitement, drama, dance. At True Concord, music is a communal activity, a dynamic exchange of energy between artist and audience. Join us for our boldest season yet, a journey we’ll share TOGETHER.
