Without their efforts, this performance would not have been possible. CENTENNIAL NOTE Robert Sirota was President of Manhattan School of Music from 2005 to 2012, during which time he also was a member of the Composition faculty. He wrote A Rush of Wings in 2008 especially for the MSM Chamber Sinfonia, which premiered the work on January 26, 2009 at Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall. The concert, conducted by Kenneth Kiesler, showcased the School’s Graduate Program in Orchestral Performance with faculty members playing side-by-side with students.

  • ORLI SHAHAM LOS ANGELES DAVID ROBERTSON PHILHARMONIC JON KIMURA PARKER 1 Merican Composers Have Always Pushed Boundaries, As Americans Themselves Have a Pushed West
    AMERICAN GRACE Piano music from Steven Mackey | John Adams ORLI SHAHAM LOS ANGELES DAVID ROBERTSON PHILHARMONIC JON KIMURA PARKER 1 merican composers have always pushed boundaries, as Americans themselves have A pushed West. I feel strongly that John Adams and Steven Mackey are at the forefront of defining what it means to be an American pianist today. On a stunning summer’s day in 2007 in the inspiring Rocky Mountain valley of Aspen, I found myself as usual underground, in a windowless practice room. One of the magical things about Aspen is that the otherwise oppressive quality of such a room is transformed by the people who inhabit it. I was taking a practice break from Gershwin and Stravinsky, preparing for rehearsal with the orchestra, when Steve Mackey came off the stage from rehearsing his guitar concerto Tuck and Roll. I was seven months pregnant with my twin sons, and Steve and I immediately started to talk about both music and child-bearing, which his wife was soon to do as well. I relished our talk and was further enthralled by Steve’s sizzling guitar playing and magnetic compositional style. For the next months, I ravenously listened to his oeuvre, convincing me that he was the first composer I wanted to ask to write me a concerto. The process was amazing. Steve showed me bits now and again, listened to my recordings and live performances, asked about my hand size, even allowed me a say in the final dramatic turn of the piece. Every time a part of the score came my way, I was more excited to learn it and understand it.

  • Mcallister Interview Transcription
    Interview with Timothy McAllister: Gershwin, Adams, and the Orchestral Saxophone with Lisa Keeney Extended Interview In September 2016, the University of Michigan’s University Symphony Orchestra (USO) performed a concert program with the works of two major American composers: John Adams and George Gershwin. The USO premiered both the new edition of Concerto in F and the Unabridged Edition of An American in Paris created by the UM Gershwin Initiative. This program also featured Adams’ The Chairman Dances and his Saxophone Concerto with soloist Timothy McAllister, for whom the concerto was written. This interview took place in August 2016 as a promotion for the concert and was published on the Gershwin Initiative’s YouTube channel with the help of Novus New Music, Inc. The following is a full transcription of the extended interview, now available on the Gershwin channel on YouTube. Dr. Timothy McAllister is the professor of saxophone at the University of Michigan. In addition to being the featured soloist of John Adams’ Saxophone Concerto, he has been a frequent guest with ensembles such as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Lisa Keeney is a saxophonist and researcher; an alumna of the University of Michigan, she works as an editing assistant for the UM Gershwin Initiative and also independently researches Gershwin’s relationship with the saxophone. ORCHESTRAL SAXOPHONE LK: Let’s begin with a general question: what is the orchestral saxophone, and why is it considered an anomaly or specialty instrument in orchestral music? TM: It’s such a complicated past that we have with the saxophone.

  • LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC Short History
    LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC Short History The Los Angeles Philharmonic is defining the concept of a “21 st century orchestra” with innovation and exuberance under the dynamic leadership of Esa-Pekka Salonen, music director since 1992 and a distinguished composer in his own right. Now in its 88th season, the Philharmonic is recognized as one of the world’s outstanding orchestras, and is received enthusiastically by audiences and critics alike. Both at home and abroad, journalists agree that,”…in 2006, [it] tops the list of America’s premier orchestras and serves as a lesson in how to update an august cultural institution without cheapening its work.” (The New York Times) This view is shared by more than one million listeners who experience live performances by the Philharmonic each year. The Philharmonic demonstrates a breadth and depth of programming unrivaled by other orchestras and cultural institutions, performing or presenting nearly 300 concerts throughout the year at its two iconic venues: Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Hollywood Bowl, a popular summer tradition since 1922. The orchestra’s involvement with Los Angeles also extends far beyond regular symphony concerts in a concert hall, embracing schools, churches, and neighborhood centers of a vastly diverse community. The Los Angeles Philharmonic was founded by William Andrews Clark, Jr., a multi-millionaire and amateur musician, who established the city’s first permanent symphony orchestra in 1919. Walter Henry Rothwell became its first music director, serving until 1927 and, since then, nine renowned conductors have served in that capacity: Georg Schnéevoigt (1927-29); Artur Rodzinski (1929-33); Otto Klemperer (1933-39); Alfred Wallenstein (1943-56); Eduard van Beinum (1956-59); Zubin Mehta (1962-78); Carlo Maria Giulini (1978- 84); André Previn (1985-89); and, since the 1992-93 season, Esa-Pekka Salonen.

    THE CENTER & CLARK NEWSLETTER UCLA CENTER FOR 17TH- & 18TH-CENTURY STUDIES WILLIAM ANDREWS CLARK MEMORIAL LIBRARY Number 57 S PRING 2013 Librarian’s Column Gerald W. Cloud, Clark Librarian The first half of 2012–13 at the Clark has seen exceptional activity in acquisitions, exhibitions, public lectures, and a successful new internship program. The opportunity to contribute, participate, and observe these activities makes my role at the Clark a great pleasure, and it is with no little satisfaction that I can report what follows. In the acquisitions department, the Clark continues to collect printed books and manuscript material that document the culture, history, and literature of Great Britain and the Continent. Among the most interesting of our new acquisitions are John Cary’s Survey of the High Roads from London to Hampton Court, Bagshot, Oakingham, Binfield... (London, 1790), an excellent copy of the only edition of a rare guide to the roads, inns and turnpikes in and around London. The survey contains eighty engraved colored maps for which the author has paid close attention to “marking the Gentlemen’s Seats, explaining the trusts of the different turnpike Gates, adding the number of Inns to each separate route, with other occurring matters which will be found on the face of the work.” Cary and his firm were the leading mapmakers of their day, a status earned no doubt by the precise and elegant engravings that comprise our volume. Arthur Hort’s “Materials for an Essay on Painting” (circa 1750s) is an unpublished commonplace book that serves as a guide to the arts by a working artist and teacher in the mid-eighteenth century.
