Among the narrators will be former administrators, faculty members, trustees, alumni, and family of former Conservatory luminaries. Through this diverse group, we will explore the growth and expansion of the Conservatory, including its departments, organization, finances and curriculum. We will capture personal memories before they are lost, fill in gaps in our understanding of the Conservatory's history, and will uncover how the Conservatory helped to shape San Francisco's musical culture throughout the past century.

Among his music teachers were George Copeland, Elliott Carter, Henry Cowell and Robert Erickson. Ramon studied at the Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia in Rome, received his Bachelors of Music in Composition from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, and his Masters from Mills College. As a student at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, Ramon built an electronic music studio in the attic of the school’s previous location at 1201 Ortega Street. Upon graduating from the Conservatory in 1962, he co-founded with Morton Subotnick the San Francisco Tape Music Center, which was later renamed the Mills Center for Contemporary Music, and is still in existence today. Through the years, Ramon has collaborated with a number of composers and visual artists, including Anthony Martin, Pauline Oliveros, Terry Riley and William Maginnis. In 1966, he co-produced the Trips Festival with Ken Kesey and Stewart Brand; a large psychedelic event in San Francisco that featured, among others, the Grateful Dead and Big Brother and the Holding Company. Aside from his music, Ramon is the author of a number of novels, novels, short stories and essays. Samples of his writings can be found on his website (www.raysender.com).

We are with Ramon Sender at his home in San Francisco doing an interview for the Oral History Project at the Conservatory. Ramon, could you start by telling us where and when you were born? SENDER October 29th, 1934, at a woman’s lying-in clinic in Madrid, Spain. It was the month known historically as Red October because it was the month that the miners were striking in Asturias, and there was a sympathy strike in all the main cities. My father was not there, he was up north as a journalist covering the miners’ strike. So he doesn’t know the exact time I was born (so I’ve never been able to get a horoscope done). But he said probably the first sound I heard upon being born was machine gun fire, because there was a machine gun encampment outside the hospital. So I was born to the sound of machine gun fire, and probably thought, “What planet have I landed on?” This was also the first time the Moors had been back to Spain since Queen Isabella had kicked out the Muslims in 1492 because a young general named Francisco Franco had been brought in from Spanish Morocco to put down the strike. He brought in Moorish mercenaries, who were very, very cruel. They raped the women, killed the children, shot everybody, and basically reignited a hatred for the Moors that had been brewing for quite a while. So there – in a short paragraph, I was born. UPDIKE Could you tell us about your parents? SENDER My mother was trained as a concert pianist and grew up in a northwest part of old Castile, near the Portuguese border in a historic town called Zamora. My father was from a small village in the Pyrenees, in Aragón. He ran away from home as a seventeen-year-old to Madrid. And then was sent home, and came back again, older. He started writing for the newspapers. I’m not sure about the history of his time, but by the time he met my mother he was a journalist with a good reputation because he had written a novel that had won a prize. My mother had moved to Madrid because she was working for the phone company in Zamora – signing people up for phones (phones were sort of new). They moved her to Madrid where they had the big skyscraper called La Telefonica. She rented a little apartment on a small street near there. Then they went out on strike, and my father went to the strike meeting and met her. He asked her what she was doing for money, and so forth. She let it somehow be known that they were all pretty hard up because they didn’t have salaries. He said, “Well, I need a typist, would you type for me?” So they started meeting outside his little rented room where there was a plaza. They would meet there and transfer typed pages back and forth, and got to know each other. One day there was a knock on her door, and he was there and said, “Quick, let me come in, the cops San Francisco Conservatory of Music / Ramon Sender Oral History 6 are after me.” It turned out he had written an article the government didn’t like, and they were out looking to arrest him. So he went underground … I guess at her place. That’s when their relationship started. All of this, by the way, is in my book, Death in Zamora. Have you got a copy yet? I can give you one. Anyway, so that’s how they met. You know … I’m not sure if they met at the strike or at this club … there was a club called el Ateneo, where all the artists hung out. She used to play piano recitals there with a violinist. He may have known her from there, also. So then they started living together. Just as an aside – this is really strange. When Judy and I got married we went on our honeymoon to Spain, which was my first time back since I’d left as a two-year-old. The hotel we went to Judy’s parents recommended, because they had stayed there. It turned out this hotel was one and a half blocks from my father’s old rented room on one side and two blocks on the other side from an apartment he had rented with his brother, later.

  • Now We Are All Sons of Bitches
    Now We Are All Sons of Bitches MICHAEL BONTATIBUS “Wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and smell the ashes,” the enigmat- ic G-Man murmurs as he leers into the camera, finishing an eerie opening monologue—and so begins Half-Life 2, Valve Corporation’s flagship game. The last time we saw Gordon Freeman, the protagonist, the same rigid and mysterious (though more poorly animated, since the prequel was released six years earlier) G-Man was handing him a job offer after witnessing the former scientist transform into a warrior, bent on escaping from the besieged Black Mesa Research Facility alive. Now, suddenly, Freeman finds himself on a train. No context.1 Is it a prison train? The three other individuals on it wear uniforms like those the inmates wore in Cool Hand Luke. The train soon stops at its destination, and we realize that it is a prison train, in a way—Freeman has arrived at the Orwellian “City 17,” where the ironically named Civil Protection abuses and oppresses, where antagonist Dr. Breen preaches poet- ic propaganda from large monitors hung high above the town. In the years since scientists at the facility accidentally opened a gateway between dimen- sions and allowed a bevy of grotesque creatures to spill into our universe, Earth has been taken over by the Combine, an alien multiplanetary empire. Breen is merely Earth’s administrator—and we realize that the ashes the G- Man spoke of were the ashes of the prelapsarian world. It’s classic dystopia, complete with a Resistance, of which Freeman soon finds himself the “mes- sianic” leader (HL2).

  • Benny Sings - City Pop 22 February 2019
    Benny Sings - City Pop 22 February 2019 “For more than 10 years, fans have been drawn to Dutch singer-songwriter Benny Sings' ability to layer R&B, jazz and pop over hip-hop foundations.” — NPR Music Benny Sings will release City Pop, his sixth album and first for Stones Throw in February 2019. With his signing to Stones Throw, he joins the label’s roster of artists — such as Jerry Paper and Mild High Club — in making music at the intersection of jazz, AOR, R&B and soul. On City Pop, he delivers real-life observations and insights on love, holding together soft rock-inspired songwriting and jazz instrumentation with his leading piano and distinctive vocal. The album was inspired by and written in cities all over the world, including New York, LA, Tokyo, Paris and Benny’s hometown of Amsterdam. Benny Sings debuted in 2003 with Champagne People. Since then he has performed for NPR’s Tiny Desk (their only Dutch guest to date); toured the world with Mayer Hawthorne, and collaborated with the likes of Anderson .Paak, GoldLink, and Mndsgn. In 2017 he co-wrote and featured on Rex Orange County’s megahit “Loving Is Easy”, a collaboration that arose from mutual admiration: "Benny has always been a massive inspiration for me and my music,” says the BBC Sound of 2018 breakout star, “In my opinion he’s one of the most underrated producers and artists going.” Like the 2015 album Studio, City Pop celebrates collaboration, with Hawthorne, Cornelius, Sukima switch (the “Japanese Steely Dan”), Mocky and Faberyayo among the featured artists.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 22, 2016
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 22, 2016 NATIONAL MUSEUM OF AMERICAN JEWISH HISTORY EXCLUSIVE EAST COAST VENUE FOR BILL GRAHAM AND THE ROCK AND ROLL REVOLUTION The National Museum of American Jewish History (NMAJH) in Philadelphia will be the exclusive East Coast venue for Bill Graham and the Rock and Roll Revolution. The exhibition, which opens on September 16 and will run through January 16, 2017, presents the first comprehensive retrospective about the life and career of legendary rock impresario Bill Graham (1931–1991). Recognized as one of the most influential concert promoters in history, Graham played a pivotal role in the careers of iconic artists including the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Santana, Fleetwood Mac, the Who, Led Zeppelin, the Doors, and the Rolling Stones. He conceived of rock & roll as a powerful force for supporting humanitarian causes and was instrumental in the production of milestone benefit concerts such as Live Aid (1985)—which took place in Philadelphia and London—and Human Rights Now! (1988). The Museum will be open late on Wednesday nights (until 8 pm) throughout the run of the show.* Bill Graham lived the America Dream, and helped to promote and popularize a truly American phenomenon: Rock & Roll. The exhibition illuminates how his childhood experiences as a Jewish emigrant from Nazi Germany fueled his drive and ingenuity as a cultural innovator and advocate for social justice. Born in Berlin, Graham immigrated to New York at the age of ten as part of a Red Cross effort to help Jewish children fleeing the Nazis. He went to live with a foster family in the Bronx and spent his teenage years in New York City before being drafted to fight in the Korean War.
