Art Song Canberra Annual Report 2006 Art Song Canberra Inc. www.artsongcanberra.org SEASON OF SONG 2016 In 2016 Art Song Canberra will celebrate its 40th anniversary by presenting seven recitals of fine art song by an outstanding array of first-rate artists, all widely experienced on the world stage. Background Art Song Canberra was founded as the A.C.T. Lieder Society in 1976 by a small group of devotees led by Eleanor Houston OAM of Covent Garden fame. Art Song Canberra’s purpose is to foster and extend the love of art song. This is done mainly by: presenting the Season of Song, an annual series of high quality concerts, to its members and the general public; providing development opportunities such as masterclasses for talented, developing singers; and conducting Members’ Soirées, gatherings of members to sing and play together in a social setting, in the manner of the earliest Lieder societies. In each year of its life the society has presented a series art song recitals. The great majority of the society’s artists have been highly accomplished both in Australia and internationally. Singers have included such noted Australians as Sally-Anne Russell, Greta Bradman, Merlyn Quaife AM, Nicholas Dinopoulos, Christopher Allan, Louise Page OAM and Christina Wilson. Overseas-based singers have included Susan Burghardt (USA), Tanya Aspelmeier, Knut Schoch, Erwin Belakowitsch and Australian Sally Wilson (Germany), Rebecca Ryan (New Zealand), Thomas Weinhappel (Austria) and Bruce Cain (USA) who appeared with guitarist David Asbury. Pianists have included (from Australia) Andrew Greene, Andrea Katz, David Miller AM, Leigh Harrold, Phillipa Candy, Alan Hicks and Nigel Butterley. Overseas-based pianists have included Roy Howat (UK) and Australians Mark Kruger (Germany) and Stephen Delaney (Austria). Recital programs have ranged widely from such classics of the Lieder repertoire as song cycles of Schubert and Schumann to fine art song by an immense variety of composers including Australians Horace Keats, Nigel Butterley and Betty Beath. Season of Song 2016 Season of Song 2016 will get off to a great start in late February with a recital by Canberra-born and internationally accomplished tenor Christopher Lincoln Bogg accompanied by Canberra pianist Alan Hicks. In April, Alan will return to the platform with his mezzo-soprano wife Christina Wilson, performing a program with Scandinavian emphasis. They and another superb art song duo, Louise Page and Phillipa Candy, appearing in July in another of their superbly-crafted programs of art song, are firm favourites. In June, Melbourne artists Rada Tochalna, Lucas de Jong and Janis Cook will present a selection of romances by Tchaikovsky. Merlyn Quaife, Nicholas Dinopoulos and Andrea Katz, members of Songmakers Australia, will return to perform lyrical song for Art Song Canberra in August. In October Jeremy Tatchell, New Zealand born but raised in Canberra, and Elena Nikulina, Ukrainian by birth but now a Canberran, will perform songs from their respective native lands. In the final concert in November Karen Fitz-Gibbon, accompanied by Alan Hicks, will present a fascinating program about a 19th-century dynasty of song. In August, Art Song Canberra will present a masterclass for performers of art song, given by Andrea Katz of Songmakers Australia. All will be welcome to join the audience to observe a leading pedagogue in the field of art song at work. High-resolution pictures of all artists are available from the press kit page of www.artsongcanberra.org Admission to the concerts includes a complimentary program and light refreshments: Full price $35; Seniors, pensioners, Friends of ArtSound FM, Friends of Wesley Music and Musica Viva subscribers $30; Art Song Canberra members $25; Full-time students $15. Page 2 of 10 pages Sunday 28th February A TRAVELLER’S TALES 3pm, Wesley Music Centre, National Circuit, Forrest Christopher Lincoln Bogg (tenor) and Alan Hicks (piano) Christopher’s journey with recital song began back in the 1970s in Canberra. Now he returns to where it all started to commemorate the journey he has taken over forty years. The program includes songs by Schubert, Schumann, Ravel, Vaughan Williams, Walton, Benjamin and Sondheim. Christopher Lincoln Bogg Christopher Lincoln Bogg was born and raised in Canberra before going on to enjoy a long career as an international opera, concert and recital singer. After ten years of performances as a member of the Canberra Children’s Choir, the Canberra Youth Orchestra and many other local arts organizations, he left for Melbourne in order to study at the Victorian College of the Arts with Dame Joan Hammond, making a reputation for himself as a soloist in concert choral works and studio recordings for the ABC. On graduation he was offered a Young Artist position with the Victoria State Opera from which he progressed to major roles in companies throughout Australia and New Zealand. A finalist in the first year of the Australian Singing Competition, a winner of the Dame Joan Sutherland Scholarship and the Bond Family Scholarship for Tenors, it was receiving the German Opera Award from Opera Foundation Australia which took him to Germany on contract with Cologne Opera, the springboard to what has been a long European-based career. In an opera career spanning more than three decades, he has worked at major world houses such as San Francisco Opera, the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona, Het Musiktheater in Amsterdam, Flanders Opera, the National Opera of Bulgaria and Welsh National Opera and in important Germany companies which include Cologne, Dresden, Dusseldorf, Essen, Frankfurt, Hannover, Leipzig, Kassel, Kiel, Nuremburg, Weimar, Wiesbaden and many others. Christopher’s wide ranging operatic repertoire comprises over sixty major roles and covers both familiar and lesser known works of Handel, Mozart, Rossini, Donizetti, Puccini, Verdi, Bizet, Gounod, Meyerbeer and Berlioz as well as a significant number of twentieth century masterworks and first performances of new works. He has sung roles with great technical difficulties such as the florid singing in Argirio (Tancredi), the exposed bel canto of Percy (Anna Bolena), the many dramatic top Cs for Arnold (William Tell) and the powerful lyricism of Aeneas (Trojans) as well as portraying complex characters as diverse as Don Jose (Carmen), Alwa (Lulu), Zvigny (Osud), Stewa (Jenufa), Sandy (The Lighthouse), Dov (Knot Garden) and Novice (Billy Budd). For Opera Australia his roles include Almaviva (Barber of Seville), Ramiro (La Cenerentola), Nemorino (L’Elisir d’Amore), Leicester (Maria Stuarda), Fenton (Falstaff), Rinuccio (Il Trittico), Nadir (Pearl Fishers) and as “the Boy” in the world premiere of Madeline Lee for which he was nominated for a Helpmann Award. Christopher’s concert repertoire includes most of the concert choral classics from Monteverdi to Verdi, from Bach Passions to Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. He has performed with choirs in Australia such as Sydney Philharmonia and Melbourne Chorale and with orchestras, choirs and festivals throughout Europe. Alongside his work in opera and concerts Christopher has continued an active interest as a recitalist with a particular interest in English art song and German Lieder. In 2000 he was the only foreign national to be a participant in a festival of German Lieder at the national pavilion at Expo in Hannover, where his performances included specially commissioned works. He has also recorded a number of CDs of twentieth-century German song for the Orfeo label. Page 3 of 10 pages Alan Hicks Alan Hicks is one of Australia's foremost vocal coaches and accompanists. He is Director of the University of Canberra Chorale and a vocal coach in the Opera Unit at Sydney Conservatorium of Music. Alan performs regularly around Australia in recitals and Festivals with leading national and international artists. In collaboration with the Friends of Opera he coordinates high-level performance opportunities for young professional singers at embassies and consular venues around Canberra. Theatrical credits include musical preparation for Albert Herring, Dido and Aeneas, Grimm and the Blue Crown Owl, Die Zauberflöte, Suor Angelica/Gianni Schicchi, Die Fledermaus, and chorus master for Tosca, The Barber of Seville, La Traviata and From a Black Sky. In 2013 he made his stage debut at the Street Theatre as Alain/Claude in the award-winning Bijou, starring and written by Chrissie Shaw, with regional tours and a return season in September 2015. Alan performs in fortepiano duo partnership with Geoffrey Lancaster AM. Their recent performance of Mozart’s Sonata in F major K497 for the Royal Schools Music Club in Perth was reviewed by Neville Cohn as: “…a performance of highest order, the players shaping to a myriad of subtleties like fine wine to a goblet.” At the Australian Flute Festival he has given recitals with Aldo Baerten (Belgium), Jane Rutter (Australia), Luca Manghi (Italy/New Zealand) and Roberto Alvarez (Spain/Singapore). Sunday 10th April NORTHERN LIGHTS 3pm, Wesley Music Centre, National Circuit, Forrest Christina Wilson (mezzo-soprano) and Alan Hicks (piano) Music from lands illuminated by the Aurora Borealis.

  • Fabulously Tidal — Issue 117, 1 January 2018
    Fabulously Tidal — Issue 117, 1 January 2018 SPONSORED FEATURE — PHILIP SAWYERS' THIRD SYMPHONY Alice McVeigh: 'This is a fabulously tidal symphony, with wild expanses of differing moods, but it begins with a ripple of unease. We in the cello section were told to play the opening with as much stillness as possible, allowing the first theme to grow as it weaves into violins and violas, into threads of flute and oboe, and — from there — into a tempestuous section of interweaving themes. The argument descends into a woodwind quarrel, resolved by flute and oboe, decorated by horns — while the strings continue to niggle and churn away at any sense of calm. 'Then solo bassoon ignites a new, still tenser, section. The violins take over, lightly but resolutely, answered by middle strings conveying a sense of tenderness — but with a bitter aftertaste. (This is incidentally one of Sawyers' most characteristic strengths: a tenderness, never saccharine, often undermined by subtle discontent.) From the brass comes the first glimpse of escape: the powerful broken octave theme over which the other themes furiously contend. 'The cellos at the recapitulation, now deepened and enriched, are twisted by Sawyers into something passionate and grounded in lower brass, reinforced by timpani. The movement ends with the heavy brass seemingly triumphant over the strings' stubborn reiteration of the theme. Still, the lower strings' pessimism prevails. 'Tutti violins kick-start the second movement with a dramatic leap from their richest register, only yielding to keening solo oboe. 'The sobered strings leave the solo winds to mourn, yet, with characteristic Sawyers intensity, something is brewing at subterranean depths: eventually, the violas' chuntering is answered by full insistent brass, in a stormily ecstatic tantrum.

  • Marie Collier: a Life
    Marie Collier: a life Kim Kemmis A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History The University of Sydney 2018 Figure 1. Publicity photo: the housewife diva, 3 July 1965 (Alamy) i Abstract The Australian soprano Marie Collier (1927-1971) is generally remembered for two things: for her performance of the title role in Puccini’s Tosca, especially when she replaced the controversial singer Maria Callas at late notice in 1965; and her tragic death in a fall from a window at the age of forty-four. The focus on Tosca, and the mythology that has grown around the manner of her death, have obscured Collier’s considerable achievements. She sang traditional repertoire with great success in the major opera houses of Europe, North and South America and Australia, and became celebrated for her pioneering performances of twentieth-century works now regularly performed alongside the traditional canon. Collier’s experiences reveal much about post-World War II Australian identity and cultural values, about the ways in which the making of opera changed throughout the world in the 1950s and 1960s, and how women negotiated their changing status and prospects through that period. She exercised her profession in an era when the opera industry became globalised, creating and controlling an image of herself as the ‘housewife-diva’, maintaining her identity as an Australian artist on the international scene, and developing a successful career at the highest level of her artform while creating a fulfilling home life. This study considers the circumstances and mythology of Marie Collier’s death, but more importantly shows her as a woman of the mid-twentieth century navigating the professional and personal spheres to achieve her vision of a life that included art, work and family.

Signature of Student: Date: 12 August 2014 3 INTRODUCTION Alf Pollard’s contribution to the business history of Australia is as yet unwritten—both as a biography of the man himself, but also his singular, albeit often quiet, achievements. He helped to shape the business world in which he operated and, in parallel, made outstanding contributions to Australian society. Cultural deprivation theory tells us that people who are working class have themselves to blame for the failure of their children in education1 and Alf was certainly from a low socio-economic, indeed extremely poor, family. He fitted such a child to the letter, although he later turned out to be an outstanding counter-example despite having no ‘built-in’ advantage as he not been socialised in a dominant wealthy culture.

  • Cheryl Barker's Tribute to Joan Hammond Queensland Symphony
    The tributes with piano accompaniment provide a contrast to the preceding drama, encore pieces beloved of Joan Hammond, the biggest selling recording artist during the war. Accompanying is pianist Timothy Young. Hammond’s recording of The Green Hills of Somerset became a best seller and Cheryl includes it as a homage here. The delightful rarity – Shadows – is a song written for Hammond by the Australian composer Ronald Settle. Conductor Guillaume Tourniaire directs the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, drawing performances that bring the emotional landscape vividly to life. lluminating CD Notes are by Peter Burch of Musica Viva and the late vocal commentator John Steane, who was an insightful Iwitness to Dame Joan Hammond and all the great singers of her era and those that followed. Hammond made best selling recordings of popular arias such as Love and Music (Vissi d’arte) from Tosca, One Fine Day (Un bel dì) from Madama Butterfly, and They Call Me Mimì (Mi chiamano Mimì) from La bohème. Lauretta’s then unknown aria from Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi, O My Beloved Daddy, (O mio babbino caro) was first released as the B-side to Tosca’s Love and Music on a 78rpm disc. The coupling Cheryl Barker’s tribute to became the first operatic recording to sell more than one million copies and went on to win a gold record in 1969. It has never been out of the Joan Hammond catalogue since. Queensland Symphony Orchestra, conductor Guillaume Tourniaire and Cheryl Barker’s relationship with Melba Recordings stretches back almost to the label’s beginning with Puccini=Passion, pianist Timothy Young her acclaimed 2003 collection of arias with Richard Bonynge Arias by Verdi, Tchaikovsky, Korngold, Offenbach, Purcell and, a conducting Orchestra Victoria.

  • Australian Ephemera Collection Finding Aid (PROMPT): Joan Sutherland and Richard Bonynge 2
    AUSTRALIAN EPHEMERA COLLECTION FINDING AID DAME JOAN SUTHERLAND, OM, AC, DBE AND RICHARD BONYNGE, AC, CBE PERFORMING ARTS PROGRAMS AND EPHEMERA (PROMPT) PRINTED AUSTRALIANA APRIL 2018 The Sutherland/Bonynge file in the Library’s PROMPT collection documents the extensive and intertwined Australian and overseas careers of opera singer Joan Sutherland, and orchestral conductor Richard Bonynge. This husband and wife team of musicians helped the career of the other by frequently performing together, her usually as principal singer under his baton. It was Bonynge who discovered Sutherland’s ability to sing the great bel canto roles and to this end he researched and conducted the operatic repertoire which most suited his wife’s unique coloratura voice. CONTENT Printed materials in the PROMPT collection include programs and printed ephemera such as brochures, leaflets, tickets, etc. Theatre programs are taken as the prime documentary evidence of a performance by Sutherland/Bonynge. In a few cases however, the only evidence of a performance is a piece of printed ephemera. In these cases the type of piece is identified, eg, brochure. The list is based on imperfect holdings and is updated as gaps in the Library’s holdings for these artists are filled. Unless otherwise stated, all entries are based on published programs in the PROMPT collection. For a list of Joan Sutherland’s performances to 31 December 1990, please refer to Richard Bonynge’s A prima donna's progress : the autobiography of Joan Sutherland.

She had a contract with the Vienna State Opera to sing Butterfly and the Marschallin in 1939 when war broke out. In England, she appeared at Sadlers Wells, toured with the Carl Rosa Opera Company and sang for the troops. One of her early recordings was “O mio babbino caro”, sung in English. It became a best seller and 'went gold'. She recorded many more arias in English in the 1940s; however, by the 1950's she was transferred to the HMV Red Label artist roster and made recordings in Italian, French, German and Russian. She had a wide range, from Marguerite and Mimi to such heavier roles as Aida and Turandot, and was the first English soprano to sing Tatiana in Russian at the Bolshoi. After the war, she appeared on the continent in opera and concerts. Her U.S. Debut in 1949 included concerts and performances at the New York City Opera. Her career was cut short by a heart condition in the 1960s.
