  • Four Saints in Three Acts a Bird in Your Ear: Synopsis
    The Bard College Conservatory of Music Graduate Program in Vocal Arts presents two one-act operas FOUR SAINTS IN THREE ACTS by Virgil Thomson, libretto by Gertrude Stein World Premiere A BIRD IN YOUR EAR by David Bruce, libretto by Alasdair Middleton March 21 and 22, 2008 Benefit for the Scholarship Fund from dawn upshaw Artistic Director Graduate Program in Vocal Arts Collaboration is at the center of true artistic partnership. In my experience, new opera can provide a wide canvas and a wealth of opportunity for the meeting of musical minds. I am delighted that the Bard Conservatory Graduate Program in Vocal Arts inaugurates its opera productions with two works that offer tremendous possibilities for collaboration—the world premiere of A Bird in Your Ear, by David Bruce, and the first fully staged one-act version of Virgil Thomson’s Four Saints in Three Acts. With director Doug Fitch, conductor James Bagwell, the Bard College Conservatory Orchestra, the chamber singers of the Bard College Music Program, and a wonderful team of designers, the 14 singers that represent the first two classes of the vocal arts program share their amazing gifts in these performances. One of the goals for stu- dents of this new graduate program, as stated in the prospectus, is “to learn what you can bring to musical life that no one else can.” It has been my great pleasure to wit- ness the unique talents in each of these individual artists, and it is a thrill to see them join together and share these gifts with you tonight.

  • The Conference
    Welcome to the Conference I am delighted to welcome you to the 4th international Reflective Conservatoire Conference: Creativity and Changing Cultures, hosted by the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in partnership with the European Association of Conservatoires (AEC), Arts and Humanities in Higher Education, ASIMUT software, Cause4, the Centre of Excellence in Music Performance Education (CEMPE), the Incorporated Society of Musicians (ISM), the Institute of Musical Research (IMR), the Society for Education, Music & Psychology Research (SEMPRE), The Culture Capital Exchange (TCCE) and Conservatoires UK (CUK). The programme is packed with what promises to be inspiring and thought-provoking sessions which we hope will lead and define a paradigm-shift in conservatoire cultures. Our themes are: Creativity, Playfulness and Improvisation; Interdisciplinary Connections; The World in 2020 and Beyond; and Viewpoints on the Developing Artist. We hope to stimulate debate on how reflective conservatoires can bring about change and innovation to established creative practice as well as preparing students for a professional world with open-ended possibilities. The keynote presentations will focus on reflection on creative processes in both music education and in the making of artistic work, with Ricardo Castro talking on Brazil’s NEOJIBA youth music training programme and Liz Lerman on the Critical Response Process, a feedback system for developing work in progress. The opening keynote, ‘The artist as maker - current issues and future prospects’ will draw on perspectives from across the performing arts, open up fundamental questions about artistic freedom and creativity, and provoke debate. I hope that you find much to discuss, debate and reflect upon over the next few days and that you take advantage of the many social opportunities to forge new professional ties and friendships with fellow conference participants from the global conservatoire community.
