  • EASTMAN NOTES JUNE 2004 Draft: Final Date: 6/15/2004 INSIDE
    NOTES JUNE 2004 A MAGAZINE FOR ALUMNI OF THE EASTMAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC FROM THE EDITOR The right “stu≠” Dear Eastman Alumni: We like Notes’ new look, and it seems you do too. Response has been unani- mously favorable; perhaps we should consider a Steve Boerner–David Cowles NOTES presidential ticket for 2008. I’d vote for them; these two artists made “Notes Volume 22, Number 2 nouveau” a pleasure, and I’m glad the pleasure was conveyed in the magazine June 2004 itself. I write the stuff, but they (and our photographers) make it look good! We also had a tremendous response to our “Eastman Alumni on CD” feature; Editor see pages 33¬34. And enough of you commented on different editorial aspects of David Raymond Notes (not always favorably) that we have a “Letters to the Editor” section, which Assistant editor may be a first for us. Christina Casey This issue of Notes is admittedly filled with history, but Susan Conkling’s re- Contributing writers minder of the great women who shaped both American music and Eastman, and Martial Bednar Amy Blum Paul Burgett’s reminder of four black composers who Christine Corrado played an important part in Eastman history, are stories Contributing photographers worth telling. As is the story of the success of Howard Kurt Brownell Hanson’s Merry Mount at the Met in 1934—a remarkable Gelfand-Piper Photography event, when you think about it. I should add a special Bob Klein Photography word of thanks here to David Peter Coppen, the Sibley Carlos Ortiz Don Ver Ploeg/VP Communications Library Archivist, who is always helpful with providing Amy Vetter historical photographs and other materials for Notes, but Photography coordinator outdid himself for these three articles.

    11/12 CREATE | PRESENT | CONNECT OCT 6/7 Water Stains on the Wall – Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan carolina performing arts 11/12 1 carolina performing arts 11/12 3 Welcome to the 11/12 season. As you have come to expect, this season includes new works by the world’s most inspiring and engaging artists, performers and ensembles. But this season also begins with incredibly good news: Carolina Performing Arts recently received a $750,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for “The Rite of Spring at 100,” an upcoming project for the 2012-13 season that marks the centennial of this seminal and groundbreaking work. The Rite of Spring premiered in Paris in 1913, with music by Igor Stravinsky, choreography by Vaslav Nijinsky and performed by the Ballets Russes. Stravinsky and Nijinsky pushed the boundaries of artistic presentation with the use of complex and primitive rhythms, dissonance and shockingly unconventional choreography. Audience members expressed their contempt, and loud arguments drowned out the orchestra. Before long, a full-scale riot had broken out in the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées and police were called to subdue the mayhem. Through “The Rite of Spring at 100” project, we are commissioning 12 new works by 20 artists, by such luminaries as choreographer 2 Bill T. Jones and director Anne Bogart. French composer Marc-Andrew Dalbavie will write a new work for mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožená and pianist Yefim Bronfman. Uzbek composer Dmitri Yanov-Yanovsky will write a new work for the Silk Road Ensemble with Yo-Yo Ma. More artists will be announced in the ensuing months and we’ll be sure to keep you informed.

  • Eastman Notes July 2006
    Winter 2010 FOr ALUMNI, PARENTS, AnD FRIENDS OF tHe eAStMAn SCHOOL OF MUSiC FrOM tHe DeAn Eastman, transformed In an age of hyperbole, we probably tend to use the word “transforma- tional” a bit too much. But last fall, the Eastman School of Music enjoyed a truly transformational experience as the new “Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre” came on line, with performances by the Rochester Philharmonic under Christopher Seaman, and Eastman’s Philharmonia under the direction of Neil Varon, both standing-room-only concerts. The week was historic. The school’s grand perfor- mance space, inaugurated in 1922, is now one of the world’s great concert halls, acoustically and aesthetically, and its history and evolution will be portrayed in a stirring documentary produced by Rochester’s WXXI-TV that will be available in the spring of 2010. We of course invite you to come visit us and witness this NOTES breathtaking transformation. Volume 28, number 1 Kodak Hall is, of course, only part of the story of the Winter 2010 new Eastman. The new wing is underway, and once it is completed, in the winter of 2010, George Eastman’s Editor original vision of a building that extended through the David raymond old Swan Street parking lot will be brought to life.
