Kurtág’s music provides the timeless continuum for the eternal question, one that concerns us in the 21st century now more than ever: how will this universal game play out? The New York Philharmonic presents the US Premiere of Kurtág’s opera based on Beckett’s SEASON TWO tragicomedy in a fully staged production directed by Claire van Kampen (Farinelli and the King) PROJECT 19 and conducted by Jaap van Zweden. 19 Commissions To Celebrate the Centennial of the 19th Amendment nyphil.org/findepartie American women gained the right to vote with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS from the LEADERSHIP
    ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS FROM THE LEADERSHIP The New York Philharmonic’s 2019–20 season certainly saw it all. We recall the remarkable performances ranging from Berlioz to Beethoven, with special pride in the launch of Project 19 — the single largest commissioning program ever created for women composers — honoring the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Together with Lincoln Center we unveiled specific plans for the renovation and re-opening of David Geffen Hall, which will have both great acoustics and also public spaces that can welcome the community. In March came the shock of a worldwide pandemic hurtling down the tracks at us, and on the 10th we played what was to be our final concert of the season. Like all New Yorkers, we tried to come to grips with the life-changing ramifications The Philharmonic responded quickly and in one week created NY Phil Plays On, a portal to hundreds of hours of past performances, to offer joy, pleasure, solace, and comfort in the only way we could. In August we launched NY Phil Bandwagon, bringing live music back to New York. Bandwagon presented 81 concerts from Chris Lee midtown to the far reaches of every one of the five boroughs. In the wake of the Erin Baiano horrific deaths of Black men and women, and the realization that we must all participate to change society, we began the hard work of self-evaluation to create a Philharmonic that is truly equitable, diverse, and inclusive. The severe financial challenge caused by cancelling fully a third of our 2019–20 concerts resulting in the loss of $10 million is obvious.

  • Music Making Politics: Beyond Lyrics
    Politik Nummer 1 | Årgang 23 | 2020 Music making politics: beyond lyrics M.I. Franklin, Professor of Global Media and Politics, Goldsmiths University of London In this article I argue that considering how any sort of music is made more closely - as sonic material, performance cultures, for whom and on whose terms, is integral to pro- jects exploring the music-politics nexus. The case in point is “My Way”, a seemingly apo- litical song, as it becomes repurposed: transformed through modes of performance, unu- sual musical arrangements, and performance contexts. The analysis reveals a deeper, underlying politics of music-making that still needs unpacking: the race, gender, and class dichotomies permeating macro- and micro-level explorations into the links between music, society, and politics. Incorporating a socio-musicological analytical framework that pays attention to how this song works musically, alongside how it can be reshaped through radical performance and production practices, shows how artists in diverging contexts can ‘re-music’ even the most hackneyed song into a form of political engage- ment. Introduction In 2016, Bob Dylan was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. In 2018 Kendrick Lamar became the first Rap artist to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music. Between these two medi- atized moments of public recognition, across the race and genre divides of contemporary culture lie many musico-political timelines, recording careers, playlists, and embodied musicalities. This article aims to show why, and how theory and research into the rela- tionship between (the study of) politics and music-making need to move beyond indica- tors of political relevance that are based on lyrics, an artist’s public persona, public profile or critical acclaim.

  • Scaramouche and the Commedia Dell'arte
    Scaramouche Sibelius’s horror story Eija Kurki © Finnish National Opera and Ballet archives / Tenhovaara Scaramouche. Ballet in 3 scenes; libr. Paul [!] Knudsen; mus. Sibelius; ch. Emilie Walbom. Prod. 12 May 1922, Royal Dan. B., CopenhaGen. The b. tells of a demonic fiddler who seduces an aristocratic lady; afterwards she sees no alternative to killinG him, but she is so haunted by his melody that she dances herself to death. Sibelius composed this, his only b. score, in 1913. Later versions by Lemanis in Riga (1936), R. HiGhtower for de Cuevas B. (1951), and Irja Koskkinen [!] in Helsinki (1955). This is the description of Sibelius’s Scaramouche, Op. 71, in The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Ballet. Initially, however, Sibelius’s Scaramouche was not a ballet but a pantomime. It was completed in 1913, to a Danish text of the same name by Poul Knudsen, with the subtitle ‘Tragic Pantomime’. The title of the work refers to Italian theatre, to the commedia dell’arte Scaramuccia character. Although the title of the work is Scaramouche, its main character is the female dancing role Blondelaine. After Scaramouche was completed, it was then more or less forgotten until it was published five years later, whereupon plans for a performance were constantly being made until it was eventually premièred in 1922. Performances of Scaramouche have 1 attracted little attention, and also Sibelius’s music has remained unknown. It did not become more widely known until the 1990s, when the first full-length recording of this remarkable composition – lasting more than an hour – appeared. Previous research There is very little previous research on Sibelius’s Scaramouche.

  • Seattle Opera's 2003/04 Season
    FOR RELEASE: July 17, 2014 Press Contact: Gabrielle Nomura, 206.676.5559, [email protected]. Seattle Opera Projects Budget Surplus for 2013/14 Season Kate Lindsey and Asher Fisch Named Seattle Opera Artists of the Year Maryanne Tagney Elected as Board President Seattle – Seattle Opera is projecting a surplus for the 2013/14 season, to be confirmed with published audited financials in December 2014. The surplus will be used to replenish its operating reserves for future seasons, which were significantly lowered during the recent recession. On an operating budget of nearly $28 million, the company saw significant growth in contributions and ticket sales that both exceeded expectations for the year. This announcement comes following the company’s Annual Meeting at McCaw Hall on Tuesday, July 15. Seattle Opera Board President, Dr. William T. Weyerhaeuser thanked his fellow board members and donors for their generosity and support during his tenure as president. Contributing to Seattle Opera’s surplus this season were a variety of factors, including successful fundraising and ticket sales operations thanks to generous donors and subscribers, a slightly increased overall attendance of 95,000, and the economic impact of Wagner’s Ring cycle in August, 2013. Opera lovers from all 50 states and 22 foreign countries flocked to Seattle for this unforgettable experience of story, music, spectacle, and community. Seattle Opera Annual Meeting Page 2 of 6 “Speight’s single-minded focus on the art of opera has been an inspiration to us all,” said Board Chairman John Nesholm. “When Seattle Opera staff was tasked with creating its list of core values, ‘art matters’ is what came to the forefront; this is because of Speight.
