  • A Scene Without a Name: Indie Classical and American New Music in the Twenty-First Century
    A SCENE WITHOUT A NAME: INDIE CLASSICAL AND AMERICAN NEW MUSIC IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY William Robin A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Mark Katz Andrea Bohlman Mark Evan Bonds Tim Carter Benjamin Piekut © 2016 William Robin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT WILLIAM ROBIN: A Scene Without a Name: Indie Classical and American New Music in the Twenty-First Century (Under the direction of Mark Katz) This dissertation represents the first study of indie classical, a significant subset of new music in the twenty-first century United States. The definition of “indie classical” has been a point of controversy among musicians: I thus examine the phrase in its multiplicity, providing a framework to understand its many meanings and practices. Indie classical offers a lens through which to study the social: the web of relations through which new music is structured, comprised in a heterogeneous array of actors, from composers and performers to journalists and publicists to blog posts and music venues. This study reveals the mechanisms through which a musical movement establishes itself in American cultural life; demonstrates how intermediaries such as performers, administrators, critics, and publicists fundamentally shape artistic discourses; and offers a model for analyzing institutional identity and understanding the essential role of institutions in new music. Three chapters each consider indie classical through a different set of practices: as a young generation of musicians that constructed itself in shared institutional backgrounds and performative acts of grouping; as an identity for New Amsterdam Records that powerfully shaped the record label’s music and its dissemination; and as a collaboration between the ensemble yMusic and Duke University that sheds light on the twenty-first century status of the new-music ensemble and the composition PhD program.

  • Collaborating Remotely a Conversation with Ymusic
    CREATIVE ASSOCIATE SERIES Wednesday, Collaborating November 18, Remotely 1pm ET Join us on Zoom A Conversation With yMusic (Passcode: 308057) Photo: Graham Tolbert The Juilliard School presents Collaborating Remotely A Conversation With yMusic Since March 2020, yMusic has developed group compositions through generative meetings and layered round-robin home recording, editing, and mixing processes from the ensemble’s six home studios. The musicians of yMusic—Creative Associate Nadia Sirota (BM ’04, MM ’06, viola); Hideaki Aomori (BM ’04, clarinet); Gabriel Cabezas, cello; CJ Camerieri (BM ’04, trumpet); Rob Moose, violin; and Alex Sopp (BM ’05, MM ’07, flute)—will discuss their creative process and how they have adapted their collaborative practice during lockdown. They will also present a piece that they collaboratively composed from their separate spaces, talk about how their ideas about it have evolved, and dissect the recording session that they developed together despite current limitations. A Q&A with the artists will follow. Juilliard’s creative enterprise programming, including the Creative Associates program, is generously supported by Jody and John Arnhold. 1 yMusic The contemporary ensemble yMusic, founded in New Yo r k City in 2008, believes in presenting emotionally communicative music, regardless of style or idiom. The sextet’s virtuosic execution and unique configuration (string trio, flute, clarinet, and trumpet) have attracted the attention of high- profile collaborators—from Paul Simon to Bill T. Jones to Ben Folds—and inspired original works by today’s foremost composers, including Nico Photo: Graham Tolbert Muhly, Missy Mazzoli, and Andrew Norman. Last season, yMusic debuted a new work, Difference, by Grawemayer- and Grammy-winning composer Andrew Norman, toured the U.S.

    78TH SEASON OF MUSIC AT THE GALLERY national gallery of art | january – may 2020 MUSIC WITHOUT BORDERS In 2019, we acknowledged the 30th anniversary of the fall of one of the world’s most emblematic walls, the Berlin Wall. The subject of borders and boundaries, whether actual walls or imagined limits, is very much on the collective mind as we enter a new decade. This winter and spring our concerts touch on this subject in readily accessible and subtle ways. A classically trained violinist who also improvises (Eunice Kim with Xavier Foley on January 5) has broken a genre boundary. A collaboration between two iconic chamber ensembles (Imani Winds and Catalyst Quartet on January 12) addresses the topic of immigra- tion head-on in a program presenting personal stories of the Great Migration. We continue to encourage our Gallery visitors to think outside the box with performances connected to the collection in both our Fourth Friday Sound Sketches and our Sunday concerts that highlight special exhibitions, such as Nordic Voices on February 9, for Alonso Berruguete: First Sculptor of Renaissance Spain; Agora Dance and Sound Impact on March 15, for Degas at the Opéra; and yMusic on April 19, for True to Nature: Open-Air Painting in Europe, 1770 – 1870. You’ll hear ancient music performed by modern musicians, contemporary ensembles playing brand new works, like Philip Glass’s first-ever composition for a percussion ensemble ( Third Coast Percussion, February 23), and cross-cultural experiences, such as Native American musician Robert Mirabal collaborating with PUBLIQuartet (April 26) and the Brasil Guitar Duo with Korean breakout guitarist Jiji (May 3).
