Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Announces 2019 New Music Festival Media contacts Linda Moxley, VP of Marketing & Communications 410.783.8020 [email protected] Devon Maloney, Director of Communications 410.783.8071 [email protected] For Immediate Release Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Announces 2019 New Music Festival Baltimore (April 18, 2019) Under the leadership of Music Director Marin Alsop, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra (BSO) announces the 2019 New Music Festival. Launched by Alsop and the BSO in 2017, the New Music Festival brings contemporary classical music to Baltimore from June 19-22. The 2019 New Music Festival celebrates women composers ahead of the BSO’s 2019-20 season, which highlights women in music in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage in the U.S. Performances include the Baltimore premiere of Jennifer Higdon’s Low Brass Concerto, a BSO co- commission, as well as the world premiere of Anna Clyne’s cello concerto, Dance, with Inbal Segev. “I’m thrilled that this year’s New Music Festival features such an outstanding group of contemporary composers, who happen to be women!” said Alsop. “Each piece of music that we’ve programmed tells a unique and compelling story, and we are proud to present a range of voices and perspectives that showcases some of the most inspired work happening in classical composition today.” The 2019 New Music Festival kicks off on Wednesday, June 19 when composer Sarah Kirkland Snider participates in a discussion on her composition process at Red Emma’s Bookstore Café. On Thursday, June 20, Associate Conductor Nicholas Hersh leads members of the BSO and Shara Nova, also known as My Brightest Diamond, in a free concert at the Ottobar. They perform Kirkland Snider’s Penelope, a song cycle inspired by Homer’s epic The Odyssey that reflects on memory, identity and what it means to return home. The festival continues with a concert of chamber music at Peabody Conservatory’s Griswold Hall on June 21 with Alsop and cellist Inbal Segev, co-curators of the New Music Festival, as well as members of the BSO. The concert features works by Clyne and Missy Mazzoli, winner of the 2017 Music Critics Association of North America Award. The concert also includes Joan Tower’s Petroushskates, Higdon’s Dark Wood and pieces by Jessie Montgomery, Julia Wolfe and Ellen Reid, who won the 2019 Pulitzer Prize in Music. On June 22, the New Music Festival concludes with a free orchestral performance at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall. Alsop leads the BSO in Tower’s Tambor, Mazzoli’s Violent, Violent Sea and a piece by Montgomery for string orchestra. Higdon’s Low Brass Concerto, co-commissioned by the BSO, and the world premiere of Clyne’s Dance, a new concerto for cello and orchestra written for Segev, anchor the program. The concert is preceded by a block party outside of the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall with live entertainment and local food trucks as well as a roundtable composer discussion inside the lobby led by Alsop. *** FESTIVAL SCHEDULE Composer Talk with Sarah Kirkland Snider Wed, Jun 19, 7 pm – Red Emma’s Bookstore Café Join Sarah Kirkland Snider, described by Pitchfork as “one of the decade’s more gifted, up-and-coming modern classical composers,” and whose music has been hailed as “rapturous” by The New York Times, for a conversation on her composition process, her song cycle Penelope and co-founding New Amsterdam Records, one of the most cutting-edge record labels in the industry. Late Set at the Ottobar Thu, Jun 20, 9 pm – Ottobar BSO Associate Conductor Nicholas Hersh leads members of the BSO and genre-fusing Shara Nova in Penelope, an art-pop song sycle inspired by Homer’s The Odyssey.

Under the direction of Music Director Marin Alsop, the orchestra is internationally renowned and locally admired for its innovation, performances, recordings and educational outreach initiatives including OrchKids. Launched by Marin Alsop and the BSO in 2008, OrchKids provides children with educational resources and fosters social change through the power of music in some of Baltimore’s most underserved communities. The BSO is widely recognized for its highly acclaimed recordings, including a 2010 disc on the Decca label featuring Gershwin’s Piano Concerto in F and Rhapsody in Blue, as well as the 2017 Naxos release of Bernstein’s Symphonies Nos. 1 and 2. Both recordings were led by Alsop and feature pianist Jean- Yves Thibaudet. Alsop also led the BSO in its 2009 Naxos recording of Leonard Bernstein’s MASS. Recent releases include Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet with Alsop and Handel’s Messiah with conductor Edward Polochick and the Concert Artists of Baltimore Symphonic Chorale. The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra performs annually for more than 350,000 people throughout the State of Maryland. Since 1982, the BSO has performed at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore. In 2005, with the opening of The Music Center at Strathmore in North Bethesda, MD, the BSO became the nation’s first orchestra with year-round venues in two metropolitan areas. More information about the BSO can be found at BSOmusic.org. About Marin Alsop Marin Alsop is an inspiring and powerful voice who passionately believes that “music has the power to change lives.” She is recognized for her innovative programming and for her deep commitment to education and to the development of audiences of all ages. Her success as Music Director of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra (BSO) has been recognized by the extension of her tenure until 2021. In Baltimore, Alsop launched OrchKids, for the city’s underserved youth, and the BSO Academy and Rusty Musicians programs for adult amateur musicians. She became Music Director of the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra in 2012 and becomes Conductor of Honor in 2019. Alsop becomes Chief Conductor of the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra in September 2019. Alsop conducts the world’s major orchestras, including the Leipzig Gewandhaus, Royal Concertgebouw and the London Philharmonic orchestras. In September 2013, she made history as the first female conductor of the BBC’s Last Night of the Proms. As a protégé of Leonard Bernstein, Alsop is central to his 100th-anniversary celebrations, having conducted Bernstein’s Mass at the Ravinia Festival, where she served as Musical Curator for 2018. Her extensive discography has led to multiple awards and includes a highly praised Naxos cycle of Dvořák with the BSO. Her dedication to new music is demonstrated by her 25-year tenure as Music Director of the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music and her launching the BSO’s New Music Festival in 2017. Alsop is the only conductor to receive the MacArthur Fellowship, and she was recently appointed Director of Graduate Conducting at the Peabody Institute. She attended the Juilliard School and Yale University, which awarded her an Honorary Doctorate in 2017. About Inbal Segev Cellist Inbal Segev’s playing has been described as “characterized by a strong and warm tone…delivered with impressive fluency and style” and with “luscious phrasing” by The Strad. Equally committed to new repertoire and masterworks, Segev brings interpretations that are both unreservedly natural and insightful to the vast range of music she performs. Segev has performed as soloist with acclaimed orchestras internationally and made debuts with the Berlin Philharmonic and Israel Philharmonic, led by Zubin Mehta, at age 17. She has commissioned new works by Avner Dorman, Timo Andres, Gity Razaz, Dan Visconti and more. In 2018, Segev was the first cellist to perform Christopher Rouse’s Violoncello Concerto since Yo-Yo Ma premiered it in the 1990s.

  • Program Notes By: Joseph & Elizabeth Kahn [email protected]
    Stravinsky Firebird Suite – February 17, 2018 Cello Concerto in B minor, Op. 104 Antonín Dvořák 1841-1904 Antonín Dvořák’s sojourn in the United States from 1892 to 1895 came about through the efforts of Mrs. Jeanette B. Thurber. A dedicated and idealistic proponent of an American national musical style, she underwrote and administered the first American music conservatory, the National Conservatory of Music in New York. Because of Dvořák’s popularity throughout Europe, he was Thurber’s first choice as director. He, in turn, was probably lured to the big city so far from home by both a large salary and a passion for musical nationalism that paralleled Mrs. Thurber’s own. He was eager to learn more of the Native-American and African-American music, which he believed should be the basis of the American national style of composition. He also shared with Mrs. Thurber the conviction that the National Conservatory should admit African-American students. Dvořák’s period in New York was quite productive in spite of his administrative and teaching duties. He composed string quartets, a string quintet, the Ten Biblical Songs, Symphony No. 9 and lastly, most of the Cello Concerto. For a number of years, Dvořák’s friend, the cellist Hanus Wihan, had been asking for a cello concerto. But the ultimate impetus was a performance by Irish cellist, composer and conductor Victor Herbert of his Cello Concerto No. 2 at a New York Philharmonic concert. Dvořák thought the work splendid and a few months later sat down to write his own concerto. He finished it just before he left New York to return to his native Bohemia.

Last year’s event celebrated a milestone of fifty years and I hope that this conference marks an auspicious beginning for the next fifty. We’ve worked hard to ensure that it will. The theme is Collaborative Exchanges: Photography in Dialogue. The key word in the title is “dialogue,” and we hope the programming will celebrate artistic practices that employ the photographic image while embracing relationships. This could be a social component, working directly with other artists or writers, creating dialogue with communities, forming collectives or shared resource banks, building public artworks, or otherwise working in expanded practice with others to make new art.
