The energy, excitement, commitment, and intensity are so exciting and wonderful for a composer. Some of the very best performances I’ve ever had have been by the Philharmonic.” — Christopher Rouse _______________________________________ American composer Christopher Rouse will return in the 2013–14 season to continue his two- year tenure as the Philharmonic’s Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence. The second person to hold the Composer-in-Residence title since Alan Gilbert’s inaugural season, following Magnus Lindberg, Mr. Rouse’s compositions and musical insights will be highlighted on subscription programs; in the Philharmonic’s appearance at the Spring For Music festival; in the NY PHIL BIENNIAL; on CONTACT! events; and in the ASIA / WINTER 2014 tour. Mr. Rouse said: “Part of the experience of music should be an exposure to the pulsation of life as we know it, rather than as people in the 18th or 19th century might have known it. It is wonderful that Alan is so supportive of contemporary music and so involved in performing and programming it.” 2 Alan Gilbert said: “I’ve always said and long felt that Chris Rouse is one of the really important composers working today.

    Try This At Home Series May 15, 2020 We Sit at the Feet of James MacGuire Mitch Stamm and James MacGuire Mitch: We speak of standing on the shoulders of those who have gone before us, but seldom do we speak about standing on the shoulders of those who are among us. Nor do we speak about sitting at their feet and listening to them. Gentleman, raconteur, and exacting baker, James MacGuire is our link to the past. We may stand on his shoulders, but when he speaks, we sit and listen with open hearts. Initially, James MacGuire’s soft spoken delivery conceals his passion, knowledge, and experience. His tell-tale word choices and sentence structure reveal a dry, sophisticated wit. Listen longer, and you realize you’re in the rarefied company of a baker/baking historian, but, not in the academic sense. James walked and baked with the giants, becoming one himself. His contributions to Bread Lines are legendary and bear witness to his story. They are laden with facts, cultural and historical relevance, and personal experience. I was part of a group that visited James in Montreal last summer. He served us homemade croissants. As you might imagine, they were excellent. Some of the details have faded from my memory, but the level of excitement and appreciation still reverberates in my mind. Buttery, flaky, and delicious, they reminded us that a croissant is about the baker; not the sheeter, blast freezer, controlled environment, ameliorants, ice packs, etc. Nothing has faded from my memory of us sitting around the kitchen table while James spoke about butter, lamination, industrial vs.
