Dr. Beranek, co-founder of the acoustical firm Bolt, Beranek and Newman in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is a vice-president of the BSO's Board of Trustees, chairman of Boston Broadcasters, Inc., and a former president of WCVB-TV A charter member of the BSO's Board of Overseers, which was formed in 1969, Dr. Beranek was formerly Chairman of the Board of Overseers,- he served as trustee ex officio from 1977 to 1979 and was elected to the BSO's Board of Trustees in 1979. Dr. Beranek was co-chairman of the recent and enormously successful BSO/ 100 Centennial Fundraising Campaign, which concluded in October 1981 and raised a total of $20.2 million, surpassing its original goal of $15.7 million. "It is with great pleasure that Mrs. Beranek and I make this gift to the Boston Symphony," said Dr. Beranek of their $1 million contribution. "It is our hope that it will help in the challenge of maintaining the Boston Symphony as a world- class orchestra, and hopefully may inspire others to give as generously as possible to this distinguished institution." Seranak Auction Postponed The Seranak auction previously scheduled for 11 September 1982 has been postponed and rescheduled for 25 June 1983, according to Mrs. Maria Cole, chairman of the Seranak Auction Committee. The Auction Committee hopes to raise $100,000 from the event, which will be used toward paying the mortgage on Seranak, the estate of former BSO music director Serge Koussevitzky which is now owned by the Boston Symphony Orchestra and used for a variety of functions during the Tanglewood season. Mrs. Cole is coordinating committees from Boston, New York, and the Berkshires to find appropriate items for auction. The first part of the auction will include musical memorabilia such as original manuscripts, autographs, photos, and letters,- the second half will feature furni- ture, works of art, and diverse objects of vertu. All items for auction should be appraised to bring a minimum of $200, and all donations are tax-deductible.

My fellow officers, directors, and I would like to welcome you to the 2019 Conductors Guild National Conference. Any event in New York City is bound to be an exciting experience, and this year’s conference promises to be one you won’t forget. We began our conference with visits to the Metropolitan Opera for a rehearsal and backstage tour, and then we were off to the Juilliard School to see some of their outstanding manuscripts and rare music collection! Our session presenters will share helpful information, insightful and inspiring thoughts, and memories of one of the 20th Century’s greatest composers and conductors, Pierre Boulez. And, what would a New York event be without a little Broadway, and Ballet? An event such as this requires dedication and work from a committed planning committee.

  • THE ART of CARLOS KLEIBER Carolyn Watson Thesis Submitted In
    GESTURE AS COMMUNICATION: THE ART OF CARLOS KLEIBER Carolyn Watson Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Conservatorium of Music University of Sydney May 2012 Statement of Originality I declare that the research presented here is my own original work and has not been submitted to any other institution for the award of a degree. Signed: Carolyn Watson Date: ii Abstract This thesis focuses on the art of orchestral conducting and in particular, the gestural language used by conductors. Aspects such as body posture and movement, eye contact, facial expressions and manual conducting gestures will be considered. These nonverbal forms of expression are the means a conductor uses to communicate with players. Manual conducting gestures are used to show fundamental technical information relating to tempo, dynamics and cues, as well as demonstrating to a degree, musical expression and conveying an interpretation of the musical work. Body posture can communicate authority, leadership, confidence and inspiration. Furthermore, physical gestures such as facial expressions can express a conductor’s mood and demeanour, as well as the emotional content of the music. Orchestral conducting is thus a complex and multifarious art, at the core of which is gesture. These physical facets of conducting will be examined by way of a case study. The conductor chosen as the centrepiece of this study is Austrian conductor, Carlos Kleiber (1930-2004). Hailed by many as the greatest conductor of all time1, Kleiber was a perfectionist with unscrupulously high standards who enjoyed a career with some of the world’s finest orchestras and opera companies including the Vienna Philharmonic, La Scala, Covent Garden, the Met and the Chicago Symphony.

    Rezension für: Thomas Schippers Michael Rabin plays Bruch's Violin Concerto and Virtuoso Pieces for Violin and Piano Max Bruch | Henryk Wieniawski | Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky | Pablo de Sarasate | Camille Saint-Saëns CD aud 95.607 Fono Forum Juli 2010 (Norbert Hornig - 2010.06.16) Lichtstrahl im Archiv Viele Veröffentlichungen historischer Aufnahmen stammen mittlerweile aus Rundfunkarchiven. Meist handelt es sich dabei um Live-Mitschnitte, auch die Geiger sind gut vertreten. Und immer wieder gibt es dabei Entdeckungen zu machen... Posthum zu spätem Ruhm – auf diese einfache Formel könnte man die Wiederentdeckung des Geigers Gerhard Taschner bringen. Die systematische Veröffentlichung seiner Rundfunkaufnahmen auf mehreren Labels erwies sich als ein diskographischer Glücksfall; sie war auch ein besonders deutlicher Hinweis darauf, welche Schätze in den Archiven noch schlummern. Taschners maskulines, elektrisierendes Geigenspiel wirkt aufregend und anziehend in seiner unverwechselbaren Individualität. Wie konnte ein Geiger dieses Kalibers nur so lange vergessen bleiben, fragt man sich. In den fünfziger Jahren avancierte er zum führenden deutschen Geiger, der jedoch nie längerfristig bei einem großen Plattenlabel unter Vertrag war. Sein Nachruhm basiert fast völlig auf Rundfunkaufnahmen. Tragischerweise wurden viele Bänder gelöscht. Bahnbrechend für die Renaissance des Geigers war 1997 die EMI-Veröffentlichung „Gerhard Taschner - Porträt eines legendären Geigers“, eine Doppel-CD unter anderem mit Aufnahmen der Violinkonzerte von Fortner, Pfitzner
