  • Music Director Riccardo Muti Appoints Jessie Montgomery As Cso Mead Composer-In-Residence for 2021-24
    For Immediate Release: Press Contacts: April 20, 2021 Eileen Chambers CSOA, 312-294-3092 Glenn Petry 21C Media, 212-625-2038 MUSIC DIRECTOR RICCARDO MUTI APPOINTS JESSIE MONTGOMERY AS CSO MEAD COMPOSER-IN-RESIDENCE FOR 2021-24 CHICAGO—The Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association (CSOA) is pleased to announce the appointment of composer, violinist and educator Jessie Montgomery as its next Mead Composer-in- Residence. A winner of both the Sphinx Medal of Excellence and the ASCAP Foundation’s Leonard Bernstein Award, Montgomery has emerged as one of the most compelling and sought-after voices in new music today. Appointed by Music Director Riccardo Muti, she will begin her three-year tenure on July 1, 2021, and will continue in the role through June 30, 2024. Described as “turbulent, wildly colorful and exploding with life” (Washington Post), Montgomery’s music includes such frequently performed works as Banner (2014), Starburst (2012) and Strum (2006; rev. 2012), which have collectively been programmed almost 500 times to date, with more than 100 live and virtual performances of Starburst in the past year alone. As Mead Composer-in-Residence, she will receive commissions to write three new orchestral works for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, one to premiere during each of her three seasons in the role. In addition, she will curate MusicNOW, the CSO’s annual contemporary music series, and will receive commissions for a number of new chamber pieces to premiere in the series’ 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons. MusicNOW will also present the Chicago premieres of some of her existing works. Founded in 1998, MusicNOW strives to bring Chicago audiences the widest possible range of today’s new music.

  • Spring/Summer 2016
    News for Friends of Leonard Bernstein Spring/Summer 2016 High-brow, Low-brow, All-brow Bernstein, Gershwin, Ellington, and the Richness of American Music © VICTOR © VICTOR KRAFT by Michael Barrett uch of my professional life has been spent on convincing music lovers Mthat categorizing music as “classical” or “popular” is a fool’s errand. I’m not surprised that people s t i l l c l i n g t o t h e s e d i v i s i o n s . S o m e w h o love classical masterpieces may need to feel reassured by their sophistication, looking down on popular culture as dis- posable and inferior. Meanwhile, pop music fans can dismiss classical music lovers as elitist snobs, out of touch with reality and hopelessly “square.” Fortunately, music isn’t so black and white, and such classifications, especially of new music, are becoming ever more anachronistic. With the benefit of time, much of our country’s greatest music, once thought to be merely “popular,” is now taking its rightful place in the category of “American Classics.” I was educated in an environment that was dismissive of much of our great American music. Wanting to be regarded as a “serious” musician, I found myself going along with the thinking of the times, propagated by our most rigid conservatory student in the 1970’s, I grew work that studiously avoided melody or key academic composers and scholars of up convinced that Aaron Copland was a signature. the 1950’s -1970’s. These wise men (and “Pops” composer, useful for light story This was the environment in American yes, they were all men) had constructed ballets, but not much else.

  • 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.

Giuseppe Verdi Messa da Requiem per soli, coro e orchestra 16 marzo 1874: “...quella Diavola di Messa, la quale finalmente è finita”. Dopo trent’anni e passa di dedizione pressoché totale al melodramma, Verdi completava un approdo alla musica sacra che oggi ci appare tutt’altro che casuale o privo di significato. Un approdo, certo, non un ritorno: troppo lontane nel tempo, ma soprattutto nello spazio mentale, le composizioni giovanili scritte a Busseto, prima che il teatro diventasse definitivamente la sua professione. Ma, a ben vedere, fra quei giorni ormai sbia- diti nella memoria e questo poderoso presente un filo sottile sottile di continuità forse c’è. La prima pietra l’aveva posta nel 1868, alla morte di Gioachino Rossini, lanciando l’idea di un Requiem collettivo in sua memo- ria, musicato una parte per ciascuno dai principali composi- tori italiani.

  • La Fanciulla Del West Opens Minnesota Opera's 2014-2015
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 20 AUGUST 2014 CONTACT: JULIE BEHR. 612-342-1612, [email protected] La fanciulla del West opens Minnesota Opera’s 2014-2015 season on September 20 A free, festive outdoor simulcast of opening night’s performance is open to the public in Rice Park Minneapolis – Puccini's La fanciulla del West (The Girl of the Golden West), opera's first "Spaghetti Western," opens Minnesota Opera's 2014-2015 season on September 20, led by Music Director Michael Christie and a powerful trio: Claire Rutter, Rafael Davila, and Greer Grimsley. The drama and excitement of opening night inside Ordway will extend outdoors that evening with a free, live video simulcast under the stars in Rice Park. From the Italian master who wrote La bohème, Madame Butterfly, and Turandot comes a romantic portrait of America’s iconic Golden West. Puccini’s gorgeous melodies and blazing orchestral colors are set against a backdrop of a gold-mining frontier town, where a poker-playing, pistol-wielding saloon owner finds herself in a love triangle with a handsome outlaw and the sheriff who is in hot pursuit of him. Considered by Puccini as one of his greatest works, La fanciulla del West (The Girl of the Golden West) had its successful and highly publicized premiere at the Metropolitan Opera in 1910. Soprano Claire Rutter, who was hailed as “blest with a powerful stage presence and a top-end coloratura like warm steel” by Classical Source, makes her Minnesota Opera debut as the high- spirited Minnie. Tenor Rafael Davila also debuts with the company as the bandit Dick Johnson, who was applauded by Bachtrack as "a real revelation ..
