THE BERKSHIRE MUSIC CENTER In 1940, the Berkshire Music Center was established at Tanglewood by the Boston Symphony Or- chestra in fulfillment of the dream of Serge Koussevitzky, its Music Director, to provide an environment in which young musicians could continue their professional training and add to their artistic experience through the guidance of eminent musicians. The Center was developed under Koussevitzky's leadership until his death in 1951, when he was succeeded by Charles Munch. Erich Leinsdorf became the next IVIusic Director in 1963, to be succeeded in 1970 by a tripartite directorship comprising two Artistic Di- rectors, Seiji Ozawa and Gunther SchuUer, and Leonard Bernstein as Advisor. Since the founding of the Center, one of the principal sponsors of composers and contemporary music at Tanglewood has been the Koussevitzky Music Foundation, established in 1942 by Serge Koussevitzky, then Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, in memory of his wife Natalie. THE FROMM MUSIC FOUNDATION 1 he Fromm Music Foundation is dedicated to the furtherance of contemporary music. The Founda- tion commissions new works, awards prizes for existing works, and sponsors the study, performance, pub- lication and recording of contemporary music. The Foundation supports the magazine, "Perspectives of New Music," published by the Princeton University Press, and sponsors the yearly Festival of Contempo- rary Music at Tanglewood. I he Fromm Music Foundation is headed by Paul Fromm of Chicago, its president and founder. CONTEMPORARY MUSIC AT TANGLEWOOD The Contemporary Music Program at the Berkshire Music Center comprises two kinds of activity: the study and performance of contemporary music, and instruction in composition for a limited number of composers whose previous studies and experiences have prepared them for work on an advanced level. The program is headed by Gunther Schuller, President of The New England Conservatory of Music. Student composers not only receive instruction from Mr. Schuller and this year's guest teacher, Bruno Maderna, but also participate in a series of seminars conducted by, in addition to Mr. Maderna, Charles Wuorinen and Lukas Foss. Compositions by the student composers are performed at various Berkshire Music Center concerts, and prepared, as are the concerts of the Festival of Contemporary Music, under the supervision of Mr. Schuller. 1 HE MUSIC THEATER PROJECT The Music I'heater l^roject was inaugurated this year, headed by Ian Strasfogel, to provide practical experience in the Music Theater repertory for both advanced students and professional singers of excep- tional ability. Music Theater has a venerable history from the early experiments of Monteverdi to the Brecht-Weill, Stravinsky, and Ligeti works of today. With limited forces of small casts and orchestras, and slight scenic demands, these pieces use the elements of opera in strikingly fresh, exciting ways which must influence the opera composer and performer of tomorrow. Ihe establishment of the Music 1 heater Project was made possible by grants from the National Opera Institute and the Martha Baird Rockefeller Fund. THE FESTIVAL "Ihe Festival of Contemporary Music was initiated in 1963. The generous support of the Fromm Music Foundation has made possible this week-long encounter with contemporary music — an institution at Tanglewood, a festival within a Festival. "Its purposes are manifold. It provides a forum for new ideas and directions in music, and as such has become one of the most important annual events in the vital task of keeping the lines of communication open between composer and public. It also reaffirms the position that music can only survive in our society through the careful nurturing of the creative mind. But creation (composition) and recreation (perform- ance) are inextricably linked; the one cannot survive without the other. The emphasis on museum policies possible in the other arts, particularly the visual arts, can only lead to attrition in music for the very simple reason that, unlike a painting which exists and can be viewed at leisure, a composition has to be performed in order to exist. It ceases to exist, except as a memory, the moment the performance has ended. It there- fore becomes the obligation of every performing musician to keep the life-stream of music — composition — going and moving forward. The young men and women who come to Tanglewood as Fellowship students, performing in addition to 19th century music a wide variety of contemporary music, are meeting this challenge as a part of their professional commitment to music in all its breadth and depth. "The Fromm Music Foundation and the Berkshire Music Center provide a stimulus to these activi- ties by annually commissioning a number of works by young composers about to establish themselves in the field of music. "The Festival does not claim to be comprehensive or all-permissive, but has presented over the years a wide sampling of contemporary music, ranging from young 'unknowns' to the well-established figures."

I’m not surprised that people s t i l l c l i n g t o t h e s e d i v i s i o n s . S o m e w h o love classical masterpieces may need to feel reassured by their sophistication, looking down on popular culture as dis- posable and inferior. Meanwhile, pop music fans can dismiss classical music lovers as elitist snobs, out of touch with reality and hopelessly “square.” Fortunately, music isn’t so black and white, and such classifications, especially of new music, are becoming ever more anachronistic. With the benefit of time, much of our country’s greatest music, once thought to be merely “popular,” is now taking its rightful place in the category of “American Classics.” I was educated in an environment that was dismissive of much of our great American music. Wanting to be regarded as a “serious” musician, I found myself going along with the thinking of the times, propagated by our most rigid conservatory student in the 1970’s, I grew work that studiously avoided melody or key academic composers and scholars of up convinced that Aaron Copland was a signature. the 1950’s -1970’s. These wise men (and “Pops” composer, useful for light story This was the environment in American yes, they were all men) had constructed ballets, but not much else.

  • East Side West Side
    WRITINGS OF JOHN MAUCERI JOHNMAUCERI.COM Prologue to Mr. Mauceri's book, "Celebrating West Side East Side, West Side – Story" published by the University of North Carolina School of the Arts 50 Years On How can one measure West Side Story? Do we compare it to the other Broadway shows of 1957? Do we value it because of its influence on music theater? Can we speak of it in terms of other musical versions of Romeo and Juliet? Do we quantify it in terms of the social history of its time? And, most of all, fifty years after its opening night on Broadway, does it mean something important to us today? The answer to all those questions is yes, of course. The fiftieth anniversary of a work of performing art is most telling and significant. That is because after a half century the work has passed out of its contemporary phase and is either becoming a classic or has been forgotten altogether. Fifty years on, members of the original creative team are generally still able to pass on what they experienced once upon a time, and yet, for many, it is an opportunity to experience and judge it for the very first time. Rereading an original Playbill magazine from the week of February 3, 1958 (I was twelve years old when I saw the show), is indeed a cause for multiple surprises and discoveries. Consider the musicals playing on Broadway that week: Bells are Ringing, about a telephone operator; Jamaica, a new Harold Arlen musical with Lena Horne; Li’l Abner, based on a popular comic strip; My Fair Lady with Julie Andrews, New Girl in Town, based on O’Neil’s Anna Christie; Tony Randall starring in Oh, Captain!, based on the Alec Guinness film The Captain’s Paradise; The Music Man with Robert Preston and Barbara Cook.

    JOHN MAUCERI Director, Hollywood Bowl Orchestra This summer John Mauceri celebrates his unprecedented 16th season with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. He conducted his 300 th concert with the orchestra in the summer of 2005. In the fall of 2005 he led Strauss’ Ariadne auf Naxos , with soprano Jane Eaglen in the title role at the Pittsburgh Opera where he began his sixth season as Music Director. In October he appeared as Music Director and Conductor of the Motion Picture and Television Fund Benefit in Los Angeles which starred Catherine Zeta-Jones, Kristin Chenoweth, Megan Mulally, and Hank Azaria among many others, in an evening entitled “A Fine Romance,” a concept based on the newly published book by Darcie Denkert. The evening raised over one million dollars for the charity. Also this past fall, the Young Musicians Foundation presented him with the Magic Baton Award at the Beverly Hilton Hotel hosted by YMF chairman Merv Griffin. HBO concert master, Bruce Dukov, bid on and won a spectacular Aspen weekend, and Maestro Mauceri added a Salvador Dali etching to his print collection in support of the YMF. Mauceri has recently returned from Leipzig, Germany where he conducted the legendary Gewandhaus Orchestra for the 7 th consecutive season. He will be appearing with them in four different programs in 2007 and 2008. This winter he also completed the world premiere recording of Danny Elfman's first work for symphonic orchestra, Serenada Schizophrana, which was recorded in Los Angeles. In February, John Mauceri performed and recorded Porgy and Bess with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in a version not heard since its world premiere production.
