About Bang on a Can Upon arriving in New York City in the early 1980s, Michael Gordon , David Lang , and Juli a Wolfe were in searc h of a brave new musical world. As part of a new generation of composers who did not fit comfortably into either the academically-rooted "uptown " or improvisationally-based "downtown" music scenes in New York at that time , Gordon , Lang, and Wolfe decided to create a scene of their own. Together, they presented the first Bang on a Can Marathon in 1987. The twelve-hour concert took place in an art gallery in So Ho and featured works by twenty -eight composers , almost all of whom were there . Although such well -known composers as Steve Reich , John Cage, Pauline Oliveros , and Milton Babbitt were featured, most of the music was by young, genre-defying , unknown, and emerging composers. The search for unknown composers has remained central to Bang on a Can' s mission to this day. The response to the first Marathon was tremendous and it has become an important fixture on New York's music scene. Over the years , BoaC has expanded to include a number of other activities: the six-member Bang on a Can All-Stars ; the OBIE Award winning comic-bo ok opera The Carbon Copy Building ; The People 's Commissioning Fund-a program that commissions emerging compo sers; regular tou ring throughout the United States and abroad ; and a new record label, CANTALOUPE , that will launch in early 2001. The label's first release, Renegade Heaven, currently is available on Ban g on a Can 's website (www. bangonacan .org). Michael Gordon 's compositions demonstrate a deep exploration into the possibilities and nature ofrhythm and what happen s when rhythms are piled on top of each other, creating a glorious confusion. John Adams , who has con ducted Gordon ' s works with the London Sinfonietta and Ensemble Modern , calls these raw and complicated sounds " irrational rhythms." Gordon's special interest in adding dimensions to the concert experience has led to frequent co llaboratio ns with artists in other media. In his string orchestra piece Weather, a collaboration with Emmy awa rd-winning video artist Elliot Caplan that recently toured German y, the musicians sit on scaffolding three tiers high . In his upcoming multimedia orchestra piece , Decasia, a commission from Basel Sinfonietta, the more ... Bang on a Can Mill ennium Marathon 3 audience sits on swivel chairs encircled by the orchestra and large projection scrims. Gordon ' s music has been presented at Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, The Kitchen, the Koiner Philharmonie, Royal Albert Hall , the Bonn Oper , the Sydney 2000 Olympic Arts Festival , and the Rotterdam, Edinburgh, St. Petersburg , Huddersfield , Settembre, and the upcoming Dresden music festivals . He has been a featured artist in the repertoires of Ensemble Modern and London's Icebreaker Ensemble . Recent commissions include the Kronos Quartet, the New York State Council on the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts , the Ensemble Modern Orchestra , the BBC Proms, The Seimens Kulturprogram, and the Australian Chamber Orchestra. In 1983, Gordon formed the Michael Gordon Philharmonic-part string quartet, part rock band- which performed his angular tunes and driving rhythms with compelling energy and off-beat humor in conceits worldwide. The latest incarnation of this ensemble is now called the Michael Gordon Band. His CDs include Weather (Nonesuch), Trance (Argo) and Big Noise from Nicaragua (CRJ). David Lang 's distinct sound fuses the tradition of classical music with urban aggressiveness , with melodies accompanied by noise and subtle harmonies pulled apart by pounding rhythms. He has been commissioned by organizations such as the San Francisco Symphony, the Santa Fe Opera, the Boston Symphony Orchestra , and the Cleveland Orchestra. His music has been featured regularly at music festivals , in orchestra concerts , and in theaters around the world , and in the choreography of Twyla Tharp , La La La Human Steps, The Nederlands Dans Theater , and the Royal Ballet. Lang's music was last heard at BAM in The Most Dangerous Room in the House for choreographer Susan Marshall , for which he received a Bessie Award in 1999. Lang is composer-in­ residence at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco . He currently is working on The Difficulty of Crossing a Field , a fully staged opera for the Kronos Quartet, with a libretto by Mac Wellman. His dark and meditative piece The Passing Measures will be released on CANTALOUPE records in February 2001. Julia Wolfe was born in Philadelphia in 1958. She recently has received commissions from Septembre Musica (Jtaly), Kronos Quartet , The Library of Congress , Netherlands Public Radio, the Koussevitzky Foundation , the American Composers Orchestra, Meet The Composer , the Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust , and The Huddersfield Festival. Her works have been performed at numerous concerts and festivals throughout the U.S. and abroad including the Holland Festival, BAM's Next Wave Festival, the San Francisco Symphony's Wet Ink Series , Tanglewood , Other Minds Festival, the Adelaide Festival, The Israel Festival , South Bank ' s Meltdown Festival and the BBC Proms. Wolfe currently is developing an evening length work with theater artist Anna Deavere Smith. Recent projects have included collaborations on a new comic book opera , The Carbon Copy Building, with artist Ben Katchor, Ridge Theater , and composers Michael Gordon and David Lang.

    Triple Threat Three World Premieres FRIDAY JANUARY 17, 2014 8:00 Triple Threat Three World Premieres FRIDAY JANUARY 17, 2014 8:00 JORDAN HALL AT NEW ENGLAND CONSERVATORY Pre-concert talk with the composers – 7:00 ELENA RUEHR Summer Days (2013) KEN UENO Hapax Legomenon, a concerto for two-bow cello and orchestra (2013) Frances-Marie Uitti, cello INTERMISSION DAVID RAKOWSKI Piano Concerto No. 2 (2011) Amy Briggs, piano GIL ROSE, Conductor Summer Days and Piano Concerto No. 2 were made possible by a grant from the Jebediah Foundation New Music Commissions. Hapax Legomenon was commissioned by the Harvard Musical Association and composed at Civitella Rainieri. PROGRAM NOTES 5 By Robert Kirzinger A true representative microcosm of the stylistic range of BMOP’s repertory history would be absurd, albeit maybe entertaining: forty-seven two-minute pieces for thirty-one different ensemble types? Something of that ilk might come close. The present program, though, TINA TALLON is at least an indicator of the range of the orchestra’s repertoire: all three composers of tonight’s world premieres have collaborated with BMOP before, but their individual compositional voices are highly distinctive. All three works were commissioned for and TONIGHT’S PERFORMERS written for the Boston Modern Orchestra Project. There are some broad connections, though: David Rakowski’s and Ken Ueno’s pieces are both concertos, and both Ueno’s FLUTE TROMBONE VIOLA and Elena Ruehr’s pieces were partly inspired by visual art.

But there are reasons far more compelling than mere longevity to regard Elliott Carter as the most eminent of living American composers, and as one of the foremost composers in the world at large. His name has come to be synonymous with music that is at once structurally formidable, expressively extraordinary, and virtuosically dazzling: music that asks much of listener and performer INTRODUCTION alike but gives far more in return. Carter was born in New York and, except during the later years of his education, has always lived there. After college and some postgraduate study at Harvard, like many an aspiring American composer of his generation who did not find the training he sought at home, Carter went off to Paris to study with Nadia Boulanger, an experience which, while enabling a necessary development of technique, also lent his work a conservative, neoclassical style for a time.

  • The Community Education Work of Orchestras and Opera Companies: Principles, Practice and Problems
    The community education work of orchestras and opera companies: principles, practice and problems. Julia Mary Winterson This dissertation is presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The University of York, Department of Music November 1998 Abstract In 1998 most orchestras and opera companies have an education team; today's large- scale, high-profile projects mounted by orchestras and opera companies appear to be developing into a full-scale industry on their own. Although music companies today present their educational activities as having a new approach, this originality is not borne out by the evidence; most of the ideas fundamental to its practice were presented nearly thirty years ago. In the absence of sustained critical debate, this thesis analyses and questions some of the claims made by education teams. It does not attempt to be a comprehensive survey of the projects taking place; rather its purpose is to evaluate them, to put them in educational, musical and social contexts and to examine the underpinning theoretical and intellectual issues. However, it does provide new and wide-ranging data on a broader scale than that of previous research. The research demonstrates that many of the objectives of music organisations are not being met. It appears that visiting musicians can be a welcome and enjoyable diversion from normal school routines and that, at times, they can have a profound effect on individual participants, but there is little evidence to suggest that the work helps with the school music curriculum or that it shares the resources of the organisations involved and develops the concert-going audience.
