Sehr gedehnt, mit schmerzvollem Ausdruck DIRECTION CORNELIUS MEISTER COR STEFAN DOHR 2 À l’origine, Stefan Dohr apprend l’alto et, après avoir entendu le célèbre corniste Hermann Baumann, il en conclut que « ce cor sonne mieux que mon alto ». Aujourd’hui, Stefan est le cor solo de l’Orchestre philharmonique de Berlin. À Strasbourg, il montrera toute l’étendue de son talent en interprétant Mozart. Cornelius Meister dirigera l’une des plus belles œuvres de Zemlinsky que l’on entend peu en concert, Die Seejungfrau (La Sirène) d’après le conte d’Andersen. Armin Jordan l’avait révélée au public strasbourgeois en 2002. 3 Smetana fut l’un des artisans de l’émergence d’une musique natio- nale tchèque et signa l’un des pre- miers chœurs en langue tchèque : La Chanson tchèque en 1860. Ce musicien-citoyen conçut son métier comme une mission patriotique, se dévouant à l’enseignement et, à partir de 1861, exclusivement au Théâtre national.

Double and other multiple concertos were quite common in the High Baroque, including lots of examples by Vivaldi and, under his influence, Bach, but the solo concerto dominates the Classical period and beyond, with relatively few notable exceptions—Mozart’s two-piano concerto and sinfonias concertante, Beethoven’s Triple, Brahms’s Double—remaining solidly in today’s orchestral repertoire. This concert’s variety of approaches has as its chronological and stylistic extremes Michael Tippett’s 1939 GER Concerto for Double String Orchestra—one of the composer’s first works of significance— N and the brand-new, up-to-the-moment world premiere of the Double Concerto for Baritone GRAI Saxophone, Percussion, and Orchestra written for BMOP by Pittsburgh-based Mathew CLIVE Rosenblum.

    Death and the Powers Release

    For Immediate Release: February 23, 2011 Contact: Kati Mitchell 617-495-2668 [email protected] American Repertory Theater in association with MIT’s FAST Arts Festival presents DEATH AND THE POWERS: The Robots’ Opera by Tod Machover directed by Diane Paulus March 18-25 Cutler Majestic Theatre at Emerson College When the eccentric patriarch Simon Powers departs his physical being and downloads himself into The System, his house assumes his immortal presence around his family and friends… So begins Death and the Powers, a groundbreaking new opera created by Tod Machover and his Opera of the Future Group at the MIT Media Lab, which receives its North American premiere at the American Repertory Theater. Performances take place at the Cutler Majestic Theater in Boston on March 18 (press opening), March 20, March 22, and March 25. The September 24, 2010 world premiere of Death and the Powers at l’Opéra de Monte-Carlo was praised by audiences and critics alike: “A grand, rich, deeply serious new opera, presented by a team with manifold, coherent accomplishments. Machover has a command of expressive vocal gesture. Voices and electronic sound are well balanced, often with telling counterpoints. Diane Paulus’s staging and Alex McDowell’s scenes were dazzling in their inventions.” — Opera magazine, London “The technological triumph of linking voice to stage, and the acoustical instruments of the excellent orchestra to the synthesized instruments is impressive… Mr. Machover and his students invented magical machines. “ — Herald Tribune The libretto for Death and the Powers is written by U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky, story by Pinsky and Randy Weiner and directed by Diane Paulus, with choreography by Karole Armitage.
