Dear Music Lovers: We are thrilled to welcome you to a full weekend of outstanding programming with the Brooklyn Philharmonic. This 52nd season has been a remarkable one for the orchestra. Under new Music Director Michael Christie's dynamic leadership we have collaborated with great innovators from all genres; from Brooklyn-based dance company nicholasleichterdance performing new choreography for Carl Orff's master­ work Carmina Burana; to Maestro Christie and Academy Award-winning actor F. Murray Abraham sharing the stage for the rarely-performed Mozart master­ work, King Thamos; to our most recent multi-media concert with cabaret superstar Ute Lemper. We conclude this vibrant season on a high note with a Friday night concert by superstar Elvis Costello and a Saturday concert with esteemed guest conductor Chelsea Tipton II, featuring the world premiere of a work about an important hero of the Abolition Movement, Harriet Tubman. Thank you for being a part of Michael Christie's exciting inaugural season with the Brooklyn Philharmonic. We hope that you will be able to enjoy our outdoor summer concert this July 14th in Prospect Park as part of the Celebrate Brooklyn I series. Thank you for joining us this evening, and enjoy the concert. Sincerely, J. Barclay Collins, Chairman of the Board Brooklyn Philharmonic Catherine M .

  • Vincent Van Gogh the Starry Night

    Vincent Van Gogh the Starry Night

    Richard Thomson Vincent van Gogh The Starry Night the museum of modern art, new york The Starry Night without doubt, vincent van gogh’s painting the starry night (fig. 1) is an iconic image of modern culture. One of the beacons of The Museum of Modern Art, every day it draws thousands of visitors who want to gaze at it, be instructed about it, or be photographed in front of it. The picture has a far-flung and flexible identity in our collective musée imaginaire, whether in material form decorating a tie or T-shirt, as a visual quotation in a book cover or caricature, or as a ubiquitously understood allusion to anguish in a sentimental popular song. Starry Night belongs in the front rank of the modern cultural vernacular. This is rather a surprising status to have been achieved by a painting that was executed with neither fanfare nor much explanation in Van Gogh’s own correspondence, that on reflection the artist found did not satisfy him, and that displeased his crucial supporter and primary critic, his brother Theo. Starry Night was painted in June 1889, at a period of great complexity in Vincent’s life. Living at the asylum of Saint-Rémy in the south of France, a Dutchman in Provence, he was cut off from his country, family, and fellow artists. His isolation was enhanced by his state of health, psychologically fragile and erratic. Yet for all these taxing disadvantages, Van Gogh was determined to fulfill himself as an artist, the road that he had taken in 1880.

    BRUCE THOMAS PUMPS IT up with ELVIS COSTELLO by Dan Forte Guitar Player March 1987

    BRUCE THOMAS PUMPS IT UP WITH ELVIS COSTELLO by Dan Forte Guitar Player March 1987 EVERYTHING ABOUT ELVIS Costello -his intelligent and prolific songwriting, impassioned singing, horn-rimmed visual image, ever-changing stylistic jaunts,even his anti-hero guitar playing -is so all-pervasive that his trio of sidemen, the Attractions, seems all but anonymous. (A magazine that just named Costello artist.of the year for 1986 only three years earlier misidentified the members of the Attractions in a photo caption.) But if Elvis is to be commended for his stylistic daring, the Attractions deserve equal praise for their ability to follow him down every idiomatic path, with their original fire and indelible individualism intact. Of all of Costello's talents, perhaps his strongest suit is as bandleader - not only for keeping a group together for a decade, but for choosing the musicians he did to make up his backing band. The Attractions have been together since 1977, in which time they've recorded 11 albums (plus a Best Of collection) since Elvis' debut, My Aim Is True. And night after night they have proved that at least one band (coincidentally virtually the only surviving band) from England’s punk era can play and always could. After recording his auspicious debut with uncredited backing from the American band Clover (including guitarist John McFee, currently with Southern Pacific), Declan "Elvis Costello" MacManus settled on piamst Steve Nieve, drummer Pete Thomas, and (no relation) bassist Bruce Thomas, after aluditioning, in the bassist's, words "hundreds of guys who couldn't tune up or put the guitar on right." The group's first effort, This Year's Model, not only squelched any fears of a,sophomore jinx; it kicked in with more muscle than Aim and signaled the arrival of a distinct new collective musical personality.

Introduction to Focus 2020 by Joel Sachs The seed for this year’s Focus Festival was planted in December 2018 at a Juilliard doctoral recital by the Chilean violist Sergio Muñoz Leiva. I was especially struck by the sonata of Rebecca Clarke, an Anglo-American composer of the early 20th century who has been known largely by that one piece, now a staple of the viola repertory. Thinking about the challenges she faced in establishing her credibility as a professional composer, my mind went to a group of women in that period, roughly 1885 to 1930, who struggled to be accepted as professional composers rather than as professional performers writing as a secondary activity or as amateur composers.

    Gala2o2o Saturday, October 17

    VIRTUAL GALA2O2O SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17 THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND FOR JOINING US THIS EVENING Dear Friends, Welcome to the (very unusual and hopefully unique) 17th annual Reach for the Stars Gala! Six months ago, it was unthinkable that we would not be gathering together to celebrate tonight. We envisioned the ballroom, the tables, the speakers, and the dancing. Now it is up to you to take a spin at home. Right now, advocates are talking with survivors, assisting with paperwork, safety planning, and counseling them as they face an (even more) uncertain future. Right now, our prevention staff is working with teachers, coaches, and administrators on professional development programs, classroom presentations, team trainings, and parent meetings. Right now, our house is home to only half of the families we are sheltering—four families remain in a hotel after fully emptying the shelter when COVID hit. We clean like never before and advocate like we always have—in a world that looks so different. And as you read this, right now, we are getting ready to host a virtual gala for the first time. We are excited to share this evening with hundreds of people over the internet, something we never envisioned when we planned it. We are doing this with your help and our shared conviction that the show must go on because the work goes on. When our office lights went out on March 16, dozens of makeshift desks got set up. Cell phones got charged. We kept working. REACH staff kept calling survivors, partnering with schools, providing shelter—we kept doing it all.

    Elvis Costello Began Writing Songs at the Age of Thirteen. 2017 Marked the 40Th Anniversary of the Release of His First Record Album, My Aim Is True

    Elvis Costello began writing songs at the age of thirteen. 2017 marked the 40th anniversary of the release of his first record album, My Aim Is True. He is perhaps best known for the songs, “Alison”, “Pump It Up”, “Everyday I Write The Book” and his rendition of the Nick Lowe song, “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace Love and Understanding”. His record catalogue of more than thirty albums includes the contrasting pop and rock & roll albums: This Year’s Model, Armed Forces, Imperial Bedroom, Blood and Chocolate and King Of America along with an album of country covers, Almost Blue and two collections of orchestrally accompanied piano ballads, Painted From Memory - with Burt Bacharach and North. He has performed worldwide with his bands, The Attractions, His Confederates - which featured two members of Elvis Presley’s “T.C.B” band - and his current group, The Imposters – Steve Nieve, Pete Thomas and Davey Faragher - as well as solo concerts, most recently his acclaimed solo show, “Detour”. Costello has entered into songwriting collaborations with Paul McCartney, Burt Bacharach, the Brodsky Quartet and with Allen Toussaint for the album The River In Reverse, the first major label recording project to visit New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and completed there while the city was still under curfew. In 2003, Costello acted as lyrical editor of six songs written with his wife, the jazz pianist and singer Diana Krall for her album, The Girl In The Other Room. He has written lyrics for compositions by Charles Mingus, Billy Strayhorn and Oscar Peterson and musical settings for words by W.B.

Michael Tilson Thomas conducted the Brooklyn Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra and chorus, and he, the musicians, and the composer received standing ovations after the performances. Steve Reich is one of this country's most promising young composers.
