Established in 1974 with the objective to “enhance music culture in Japan”, Nippon Music Foundation marks its 40th anniversary this year. In 1994, the Foundation started the “Instrument Loan Project” through which the Foundation has strived to make international contributions by preserving 20 top quality stringed instruments such as Stradivarius and by loaning them gratis to internationally-active musicians regardless of their nationalities.The Instrument Loan Committee, consisting of members representing Europe, the USA and Asia, is responsible for making the basic policy of the loan and for selecting the recipients of our instruments. Maestro Lorin Maazel, who had been the chairman of the committee since the launch of this project, passed away on 13 July this year. Mo. Maazel had not only created beautiful music as a conductor and a composer, but also dedicated much of his lifetime to supporting and bringing out young talents.

  • Mozart's String Quartet in D Minor, K
    THE BIOGRAPHY OF A STRING QUARTET: Mozart’s String Quartet in D minor, K. 421 (417b) by Alexa Vivien Wilks A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Alexa Vivien Wilks 2015 The Biography of a String Quartet: Mozart’s String Quartet in D minor, K. 421 (417b) Alexa Vivien Wilks Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto 2015 Abstract Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s String Quartet K. 421 in D minor remains one of his most celebrated quartets. K. 421 is the second work in a set of six quartets dedicated to Mozart’s colleague and mentor, Joseph Haydn, and is the only ‘Haydn’ Quartet in a minor key. An overview of the historical background of K. 421, the significance of D minor in Mozart’s compositions, as well as the compositional relationship between Mozart and Haydn situates this work amongst Mozart’s other string quartet compositions and provides context for the analysis of different editions. An outline of the historical practices and roles of editors, as well as a detailed analysis and comparison of different editions against the autograph manuscript and the first edition published by Artaria in 1785 examines the numerous discrepancies between each of the different publications of K. 421. Using the information acquired from the comparative study of selected historical editions, some possibilities for future editions of K. 421 are discussed. When undertaking the study of a new quartet, performers can learn a great deal from listening to recordings.

    ACADÉMIE ACADÉMI ACADÉM ACADÉ ACAD ACA AC A LIST OF PARTICIPANTS BIOGRAPHIES CHAMBER MUSIC RESIDENCY JUNE 12 — 20, 2020 CHAMBER MUSIC RESIDENCY The Académie du Festival d’Aix has adapted and developed new online training programs in order to continue to carry out its mission of training and accompanying young musicians in their professional development. Country borders currently pose a challenge to an artist’s mobility and so it becomes important to create new work spaces and meeting places which allow for the preservation of the vital links and intercultural dialogue at the heart of these programs. The training programs were created through a process of reflection and ongoing exchange with the artists and pedagogical experts who were initially involved in training sessions that were scheduled to take place in Aix during the 2020 edition of the Festival d’Aix. Through these newly adapted programs, the Académie du Festival d’Aix continues to defend its values which include artistic excellence, innovation, the expression of cultural diversity, and activities which promote social inclusion. MENTORS PARTICIPANTS The 2020 Académie’s chamber music residency provides five string quartets the opportunity to e-meet and exchange with prestigious artists and perfect their JONATHAN BROWN (VIOLA) STRING QUARTETS interpretations of great classical repertoires and to hone their approach to more ARNAU TOMÀS (CELLO) CONSONE QUARTET contemporary language, all thanks to the use of online communication tools.

  • Hagen Quartet's Biography
    HAGEN QUARTET LUKAS HAGEN, violin RAINER SCHMIDT, violin VERONIKA HAGEN, viola CLEMENS HAGEN, violoncello After recitals given by the “four world-class string players from Salzburg”, rapt audiences remain “entranced several minutes with quasi-absolute stillness in their thoughts, well aware that they have experienced something truly exceptional”, as the press has noted. On these occasions, concertgoers share “the wish that the music would never stop.” And so the 19/20 season promises new listening pleasures and “memorable […] musical heights”(Drehpunkt Kultur), with a repertoire centred around Béla Bartók and Dmitri Shostakovich entertaining audiences in Vienna throughout the Hagen Quartet’s series of appearances at the Konzerthaus, of which the ensemble has been an honorary member since 2012. The Hagen Quartet is also dedicating itself to the work of Ludwig van Beethoven, illuminating all the nuances of timbre of his late quartets and fathoming their almost impenetrable depths. They will be performing in London, Lucerne, Brussels, Munich, Leipzig, Oslo, Rome, Budapest, Paris and Berlin, to name just a few of their destinations this season, as well as embarking on another Asian tour with concerts in Japan. The Hagen Quartet will also be travelling to the United States for performances in Los Angeles, Seattle and San Diego, before heading to South America for concerts in Buenos Aires and São Paulo. The Hagen Quartet’s recording featuring the Mozart String Quintets K387 and K458 was awarded the Diapason d'or and the Choc of Classica Magazine (France), as well as the coveted German ECHO Klassik Prize (2016) for the Best Chamber Music Recording of the 17th/18th Centuries.
