875-5718; Johnsonk@Nyphil.Org ALAN GILBERT and the NE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 28, 2013 Contact: Katherine E. Johnson (212) 875-5718; [email protected] ALAN GILBERT AND THE NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC ALAN GILBERT TO CONDUCT PHANTASMATA BY THE MARIE-JOSÉE KRAVIS COMPOSER-IN-RESIDENCE CHRISTOPHER ROUSE Cellist JAN VOGLER To Perform BLOCH’S SCHELOMO Program To Close with BRAHMS’S SYMPHONY NO. 1 Concluding This Season’s Survey of Brahms’s Complete Symphonies and Concertos February 21–22 Music Director Alan Gilbert will conduct the New York Philharmonic in Phantasmata by The Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence Christopher Rouse; Bloch’s Schelomo, featuring cellist Jan Vogler; and Brahms’s Symphony No. 1 on Thursday, February 21, 2013, at 7:30 p.m. and Friday, February 22 at 11:00 a.m. Phantasmata is the first work by Christopher Rouse that the Philharmonic will perform during his two-season tenure as Composer-in-Residence. The Philharmonic will perform the World Premiere of Mr. Rouse’s Prospero’s Rooms, a Philharmonic commission, April 17–20, 2013, with Alan Gilbert conducting. Alan Gilbert said: “Chris Rouse is one of the most important composers working today. I’ve recorded a lot of his music, and it has been a very meaningful and a large part of my musical life for a long time. He has a unique voice and doesn’t leave anything to chance: he actually shapes the sound and the emotional flow of his music in a way that only great composers can. He truly writes what he hears.” Mr. Rouse said of Phantasmata: “It’s one of my rabble-rouser pieces from the earlier 1980s. All of the movements were inspired by dreams. The first movement is my image of the astral body of St. John of the Cross floating through Antonio Gaudi’s Cathedral de La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona; the second movement, The Infernal Machine, imagines an enormous machine eternally in motion for no particular purpose; and the final movement, Bump, comes from a dream I had of the Boston Pops playing a tour performance in Hell.” (more) Alan Gilbert / Jan Vogler / 2 Cellist Jan Vogler joins Alan Gilbert and the Orchestra for Bloch’s Schelomo, and will also perform the work with them in Ann Arbor, Michigan, February 23–24, 2013. “Bloch’s Schelomo was very dear to me since my childhood,” Mr. Vogler said. “I was about nine when my father’s friend brought a record to our home of Leonard Rose, former Principal Cello of the New York Philharmonic, performing Schelomo. I became a cellist partly because of Leonard Rose and partly because of Schelomo.” The Philharmonic’s season-long survey of Brahms’s complete symphonies and concertos, featuring four conductors and five soloists, concludes with these concerts. In November Kurt Masur conducted Brahms’s Double Concerto for Violin and Cello and Symphonies Nos. 2, 3, and 4. On January 16–19 Lorin Maazel conducted Brahms’s Piano Concerto No. 1 with Yefim Bronfman, and on February 6–9 Andris Nelsons leads the Violin Concerto with Christian Tetzlaff. Before he leads Brahms’s Symphony No. 2 in these concerts, Alan Gilbert will have conducted the Piano Concerto No. 2, featuring Rudolf Buchbinder as soloist, February 14–16, 2013. Brahms’s chamber music is appearing on all four Saturday Matinee Concerts, featuring Philharmonic musicians as well as violinist Lisa Batiashvili and Alan Gilbert, both of whom will play violin in the String Quintet in G major on June 8, 2013. Related Events Pre-Concert Talks The Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence Christopher Rouse and Arbie Orenstein, author and professor of music at the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College, will introduce the program.

Artists Music Director Alan Gilbert began his tenure at the New York Philharmonic in September 2009, launching what New York magazine called “a fresh future for the Philharmonic.” The first native New Yorker in the post, he has introduced the positions of The Marie-Josée Kravis (more) Alan Gilbert / Jan Vogler / 3 Composer-in-Residence and The Mary and James G. Wallach Artist-in-Residence, an annual multi-week festival, and CONTACT!, the new-music series, and he has sought to make the Orchestra a point of civic pride for the city and country. In 2012–13, Alan Gilbert conducts world premieres; presides over a cycle of Brahms’s complete symphonies and concertos; continues The Nielsen Project, the multi-year initiative to perform and record Nielsen’s symphonies and concertos; and leads the EUROPE / SPRING 2013 tour. The season concludes with June Journey: Gilbert’s Playlist, four programs showcasing themes he has introduced, including the season finale: a theatrical reimagining of Stravinsky ballets with director/designer Doug Fitch and New York City Ballet Principal Dancer Sara Mearns. Last season’s highlights included tours of Europe and California, several world premieres, Mahler symphonies, and Philharmonic 360, the Philharmonic and Park Avenue Armory’s acclaimed spatial-music program featuring Stockhausen’s Gruppen, about which The New York Times said: “Those who think classical music needs some shaking up routinely challenge music directors at major orchestras to think outside the box. That is precisely what Alan Gilbert did.” Mr. Gilbert is Director of Conducting and Orchestral Studies and holds the William Schuman Chair in Musical Studies at The Juilliard School. Conductor Laureate of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and Principal Guest Conductor of Hamburg’s NDR Symphony Orchestra, he regularly conducts leading orchestras around the world. He made his acclaimed Metropolitan Opera debut conducting John Adams’s Doctor Atomic in 2008, the DVD of which received a Grammy Award. His recordings have received top honors from the Chicago Tribune and Gramophone magazine. In May 2010 Mr. Gilbert received an Honorary Doctor of Music degree from The Curtis Institute of Music and in December 2011, Columbia University’s Ditson Conductor’s Award for his “exceptional commitment to the performance of works by American composers and to contemporary music.” Cellist Jan Vogler has performed with conductors including Valery Gergiev, Lorin Maazel, Fabio Luisi, David Robertson, and Manfred Honeck, and orchestras such as the New York Philharmonic; the Chicago, Boston, Pittsburgh, Montreal, and Cincinnati symphony orchestras; as well as the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra, Dresden Staatskapelle, Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Stuttgart Radio Orchestra, and Vienna Symphony. A passionate recitalist and chamber musician, he performs regularly with pianists Hélène Grimaud and Martin Stadtfeld and with violinist Mira Wang. Recent performances of new works include compositions by Tigran Mansurian (WDR Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Semyon Bychkov), John Harbison (Boston Symphony Orchestra), and Udo Zimmermann (Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra). A prolific and award-winning recording artist, Mr. Vogler records exclusively for SONY Classical. Upcoming releases include Bach’s Six Suites for Unaccompanied Cello (2012) and the Schumann Cello Concerto with the Vienna Philharmonic (2013). With The Knights and Eric Jacobsen he recorded Experience: Live from New York, which includes Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No. 1 and Machine Gun by Jimi Hendrix, in a special arrangement for cello and (more) Alan Gilbert / Jan Vogler / 4 orchestra. This live CD was recorded at (Le) Poisson Rouge, formerly the Village Gate, home to many Hendrix concerts. A cello prodigy at age six, Jan Vogler first studied with his father, Peter Vogler, and subsequently with Josef Schwab in Berlin, Heinrich Schiff, and Siegfried Palm. At 20 he became principal cello of the Dresden Staatskapelle, and was named the youngest concertmaster in the history of the orchestra. He has won the Echo-Award (the German equivalent of the Grammy) and the 2006 European Cultural Award. Mr. Vogler is the general director of the Dresden Musikfestspiele, and founder and artistic director of the Moritzburg Chamber Music Festival. He plays the 1707–1710 Stradivarius Ex Castelbarco/Fau and the 1721 Domenico Montagnana Ex- Hekking cellos. Mr. Vogler’s debut with the New York Philharmonic was in 2005, performing the Orchestra-commissioned Berceuse for Dresden by Colin Matthews in both Dresden and New York. Repertoire Christopher Rouse explained that the title of Phantasmata was inspired by the German-Swiss physician and occultist Paracelsus (1493–1541), who defined the word as “hallucinations created by thought.” The composer wrote Phantasmata between 1981 and 1985 on commission from the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, which premiered it in October 1986 with Leonard Slatkin conducting. The piece grew out of an earlier composition, The Infernal Machine, which serves as Phantasmata’s middle movement. The first movement, scored for strings and percussion, is titled The Evestrum of Juan de la Cruz in the Sagrada Familia, 3 A.M. — “evestrum” being Paracelsus’s name for the astral body, suggesting an out-of-body journey through Antoni Gaudí’s famous cathedral in Barcelona.

  • Playlist 12 - Wednesday, June 24Th, 2020
    Legato in Times of Staccato Playlist 12 - Wednesday, June 24th, 2020 Curated by Music Director, Fouad Fakhouri William Dawson: Negro Folk Symphony William Dawson was a renowned African American composer, choir director, and professor who incorporated African American themes and melodies into his music. With the Negro Folk Symphony, Dawson aimed to “write a symphony in the Negro folk idiom, based on authentic folk music but in the same symphonic form used by the composers of the [European] romantic-nationalist school.” The work consists of three movements, each with its own programmatic subtitle. Dvorak: Serenade for Strings & Wind Dvořák composed his entire Serenade in E major for string orchestra in less than two weeks in May 1875. The piece is in five movements, and in the finale, the main theme from the first movement is quoted before the coda, effectively unifying the work. Overall, the piece is light and carefree, reflecting a happy and productive time in Dvořák’s life. The Serenade in D minor for wind instruments was also composed in just two weeks in January 1878. The winds play atop a foundation of cello and string bass, and like in the Serenade for Strings, the opening theme is quoted in the final movement to unify the piece. The work is Classical in form but Czech in character as Dvořák incorporated folk melodies and rhythms from his native Bohemian culture. The piece was dedicated to music critic Louis Ehlert who promoted Dvořák’s famous Slavonic Dances and helped to advance Dvořák’s musical career. Haydn: Cello Concerto No. 1 Haydn’s Cello Concerto No.

  • Milko Kelemen: Life and Selected Works for Violoncello
    MILKO KELEMEN: LIFE AND SELECTED WORKS FOR VIOLONCELLO by JOSIP PETRAČ (Under the Direction of David Starkweather) ABSTRACT Milko Kelemen (b. 1924) is one of the most extraordinary Croatian composers of the post-World War II era. He has received numerous prestigious awards for his work, while his compositions are published by major companies, including Schott, Universal, Peters, and Hans Sikorski editions. His music is little studied or known internationally. This paper examines this innovative, avant-garde musician and sheds light both on Kelemen’s life and his compositional technique. The latter is examined in four compositions featuring cello as the main subject: Changeant (1968), Drammatico (1983), Requiem for Sarajevo (1994), and Musica Amorosa (2004). The examination of these compositions is placed in a biographical context which reveals how Kelemen’s keen political and cultural interests influenced his development as a composer. In particular, this document looks at Kelemen’s role as one of the founders, and the first president, of the Zagreb Music Biennale Festival, an event known for its ground-breaking work in bringing together artists and composers from the eastern and western blocs during the Cold War, as well as revitalising Croatia’s old-fashioned and provincial cultural scene. This festival of avant-garde music has been running since 1961. INDEX WORDS: Milko Kelemen, Zagreb Biennale, cello, avant-garde music, Changeant, Drammatico, Requiem for Sarajevo, Musica Amorosa MILKO KELEMEN:LIFE AND SELECTED WORKS FOR CELLO by JOSIP
