I MADÉ BANDEM, Dr. Bandem is widely regarded as the foremost living expert on traditional Balinese dance and drama; his groundbreaking book, “Balinese Dance in Transition,” was the first extensive study of the art form to be published in the west. Descended from a long line of arja (Balinese opera) performers in Singapadu Village, Dr. Bandem was a well-known “Baris” dancer in Bali by the age of 10. In 1980 he became the first Balinese artist to receive a PhD in ethnomusicology, from Wesleyan University, and then spent 16 years as director of ISI Arts Academy in Denpasar, during which he championed the resuscitation of many near-lost classical forms. His mastery of these traditional forms is not to be missed.

EVAN ZIPORYN Composer/clarinetist Evan Ziporyn is a founding member of the Bang on a Can All-stars (Musical America’s 2005 Ensemble of the Year), with whom he has toured the globe since 1992. He redefined the clarinet with his 2001 solo CD, “This Is Not A Clarinet,” which made numerous Top Ten lists across America. He recorded the definitive version of Steve Reich’s solo clarinet New York Counterpoint for Nonesuch and, as a member of the Steve Reich Ensemble, the Grammy Award winning Music for 18 Musicians. His music provided the soundtrack for the PBS film “Tail-enders,” and his playing was featured in Tan Dun’s soundtrack for the film “Fallen.” He has also recorded with Paul Simon, Matthew Shipp, and Ethel. He is also Founder and Artistic Director of Boston’s Gamelan Galak Tika, a group dedicated to new music for Balinese gamelan, which he has studied for almost 30 years.

12 He received a Fulbright in 1987, and in 1990 began composing an ongoing series of groundbreaking cross-cultural works, combining gamelan with saxophones, guitars, electronics, Chinese and African instruments, and full orchestra. His fusion opera, “Shadow Bang,” a collaboration with master Balinese dalang Wayan Wija, was the centerpiece of the 2006 Amsterdam GrachtenFest; his works have also been featured at festivals in London, New York, and the Sydney OlympicsHis work as a composer and performer led to his receiving the 2007 USArtists Walker Award and the 2004 American Academy of Arts and Letters Goddard Lieberson Fellowship. His music has been commissioned and performed by the Kronos Quartet,Wu Man, the American Composers Orchestra, the American Repertory Theater, Maya Beiser, So Percussion, and the Boston Modern Orchestra Project, with whom he recorded his 2006 orchestral CD, “Frog’s Eye.” Recordings of his works have been released on Cantaloupe, Sony Classical, New Albion, New World, Koch, Innova, and CRI. He has collaborated with some of the worlds most creative and vital living musicians, including Brian Eno, Ornette Coleman, Thurston Moore, Meredith Monk, Iva Bittova, Philip Glass, Terry Riley, Don Byron, Louis Andriessen, Cecil Taylor, Henry Threadgill, Wu Man, Wayan Wija, and Kyaw Kyaw Naing. He is Kenan Sahin Distinguished Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. www.ziporyn.com

CHRISTINE SOUTHWORTH, Christine Southworth (b. 1978), through her work with robots and automated music systems as co-founder and Director of Ensemble Robot, is making groundbreaking music based on the interaction between science, technology and creativity. Employing sounds from man and nature, from Van de Graaff Generator to honeybees, Balinese gamelan to seismic data from volcanos, Southworth is introducing a brand new genre of music to Boston, born out of the area’s complex community of scientists and artists. Her 2005 & 2007 performances of Zap! overfilled the Boston Museum of Science’s Theater of Electric- ity with energized crowds of students, professors, artists, children, and adults. The Boston Phoenix called the show “truly electrifying,” describing that “Ever since Bob Dylan, ‘going electric’ has had many connotations, but this was something different: though Zap! utilized the talents of a flutist, two keyboardists, a cellist, a guitarist, a bassist, a drummer, a vocalist, a double-helix-shaped robotic xylo- phone, sound engineers, and computer programmers, the centerpiece of Southworth’s performance was electricity itself, as millions of volts buzzed, fizzled, and sparked in deafening cracks that punctu- ated her music.” (Will Spitz, Boston Phoenix) Southworth received a B.S. from MIT in 2002 in mathematics and music and M.A. in Computer Music & Multimedia Composition from Brown University in 2006. She composes for Western ensembles, Balinese gamelan, and mixed ensembles of gamelan, western instruments, electronics, and robots. Her compositions draw from her interests in modern American and European music, jazz, Balinese music, and rock and roll, and have received awards and recognition from the LEF Foundation, Ameri- can Composers Forum, Meet the Composer, New England Foundation for the Arts (NEFA), the MIT Eloranta Fellowship, and Bang on a Can. Her music has been played throughout the U.S., Europe, and Indonesia by ensembles including Gamelan Galak Tika, the Calder Quartet, and Ensemble Robot. Her music is available on Airplane Ears recordings Zap! (2008) and Gamelan Galak Tika: Bronze Age Space Age (2009). Christine is currently writing a new piece entitled Concerning the Doodle for the Bang on a Can All-Stars, commissioned by the Bang on a Can People’s Commissioning Fund and accompanied by an animated film by Amy Lovera, Christina Spangler, and Jessica Gidal, and a piece for Kronos Quartet and Gamelan Galak Tika’s new electronic gamelan (designed by Alex Rigopulos of Harmonix Music). www.kotekan.com

RAMON CASTILLO, Composer Ramon Castillo has a unique approach to musical scoring. He has written for such combinations as clarinet trio with turntable DJ, lyricon with manipulated cheers of frantic Red Sox fans, string trio with drum set, and accordion with robotic glockenspiel. Extraordinary sound textures fascinate him, and his music represents an ongoing stride towards absolute musical economy. He is a former jazz guitarist who currently plays Balinese gamelan. Ramon earned his doctorate in music composition from Boston University where he studied with Lukas Foss, Sam Headrick and Theodore Antoniou. He is an assistant professor in the composition department at the Berklee College of Music.

22 ABOUT THE CHIEFTAINS Six-time Grammy winners, the Chieftains are recognized for bringing traditional Irish music to the world’s attention. They have uncovered the wealth of Irish music that has accumulated over the centuries, making the music their own with a style that is as exhilarating as it is definitive. The Chieftains were formed in 1962 by Paddy Moloney from the ranks of the top folk musicians in Ireland. For the current lineup, Paddy has brought together musicians such as fiddler Seán Keane, flau- tist Matt Molloy, and bodhrán player and vocalist Kevin Conneff. It wasn’t until 1975 that the Chieftains began playing together full time; they marked the event with a historic performance in Albert Hall in London. Although their early following was purely a folk audience, the range and variety of their music very quickly captured a much broader public, making them the best known Irish band in the world. Never afraid to shock purists and push boundaries, in their forty years together the Chieftains have amassed a dizzyingly varied CV. They have been involved in such historic events as a tour of China (the first Western group to perform on the Great Wall); Roger Waters’ “The Wall” performance in Berlin in 1990; the first group to give a concert in the Capitol Building of Washington DC (at the invitation of former Speaker, Thomas “Tip” O’ Neill); and more recently, Paddy performed a memorial service in New York for the victims of September 11, 2001. They have played with symphony and folk orchestras worldwide, and have broken musical boundaries by collaborating and performing with some of the biggest names in rock, pop and traditional music in Ireland and around the world. In addition to their six Grammy awards, they have been honored in their own country by being of- ficially named Ireland’s Musical Ambassadors. They performed during the Pope’s visit to Ireland in 1979 in front of 135,000,000 persons, and were the subject of a tribute on the Late Late Show in 1987, their 25th anniversary. The trappings of fame have not altered the Chieftains’ love of, and loyalty to, their roots—they are as comfortable playing spontaneous Irish sessions as they are headlining a concert at Carnegie Hall. After all these years of making some of the most beautiful music in the world, the Chieftains’ music remains as fresh and relevant as when they first began. The Chieftains’ appearance at the Fine Arts Center will be graced with selections from their forthcom- ing album San Patricio, a collaboration with fellow Grammy-winner Ry Cooder. The album, which also features guest stars Linda Ronstadt, Liam Neeson, Los Tigres del Norte, and many other celebrated Mexican, American and Irish musicians and singers, is one of The Chieftains’ most unique projects ever. An unprecedented blend of the musical heritage of Ireland and Mexico, San Patricio brings to life the story of the San Patricio Battalion, Irish-Americans who deserted the United States Army to join the Mexican side in the Mexican-American War. In addition to the wonderful traditional Irish tunes, the Chieftains will play several pieces from the new album, including “San Campio,” “March to Battle,” “Sands of Mexico,” and “Lullaby for the Dead.” Special Guests on the band’s current tour include the breathtaking Scottish siren Alyth McCormack, who will sing “The Foggy Dew” and her own piece of Scottish “Mouth Music.” Nashville’s own Jeff White and Deanie Richardson, who will offer up their Bluegrass specialties, and regular Chieftains collabora- tor harpist Triona Marshall, who will play the classic “O’Carolan’s Concerto.” Dancing, jigs, and reels will complete the evening’s performance. ABOUT THE MUSICIANS Paddy Moloney Paddy Moloney, the leader of the Chieftains, is worked to develop his own unique sound. He the only one of the original Chieftains remaining often played with other musicians in duets and from the Chieftains’ start in 1962.
