  • Detailed Biography
    c/o Justin Stanley JMS Artist Management 89 Wenham Street #2 Jamaica Plain, MA 02139 857-210-4706 [email protected] lydianquartet.com LYDIAN STRING QUARTET - DETAILED BIOGRAPHY From its beginning in 1980, the Lydian Quartet has embraced the full range of the string quartet repertory with curiosity, virtuosity, and dedication to the highest artistic ideals of music making. In its formative years, the quartet studied repertoire with Robert Koff, a founding member of the Julliard String Quartet who had joined the Brandeis faculty in 1958. Forging a personality of their own, the Lydians were awarded top prizes in international string quartet competitions, including Evian, Portsmouth and Banff, culminating in 1984 with the Naumburg Award for Chamber Music. In the years to follow, the quartet continued to build a reputation for their depth of interpretation, performing with "a precision and involvement marking them as among the world's best quartets" (Chicago Sun-Times). Residing at Brandeis University, in Waltham, Massachusetts, the Lydians continue to offer compelling, thoughtful, and dramatic performances of the quartet literature. From the acknowledged masterpieces of the classical, romantic, and modern eras to the remarkable compositions written by today's cutting edge composers, the quartet approaches music-making with a sense of exploration and personal expression that is timeless. The LSQ has performed extensively throughout the United States at venues such as Jordan Hall in Boston; the Kennedy Center and the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.; Lincoln Center, Miller Theater, and Weill Recital Hall in New York City; the Pacific Rim Festival at the University of California at Santa Cruz; and the Slee Beethoven Series at the University at Buffalo.

  • Moses Und Aron and Viennese Jewish Modernism
    Finding Music’s Words: Moses und Aron and Viennese Jewish Modernism Maurice Cohn Candidate for Senior Honors in History, Oberlin College Thesis Advisor: Annemarie Sammartino Submitted Spring 2017 !2 Table of Contents Acknowledgments 3 Introduction 4 Chapter One 14 Chapter Two 34 Chapter Three 44 Conclusion 58 Bibliography 62 !3 Acknowledgments I have tremendous gratitude and gratefulness for all of the people who helped make this thesis a reality. There are far too many individuals for a complete list here, but I would like to mention a few. Firstly, to my advisor Ari Sammartino, who also chaired the honors seminar this year. Her intellectual guidance has been transformational for me, and I am incredibly thankful to have had her mentorship. Secondly, to the honors seminar students for 2016—2017. Their feedback and camaraderie was a wonderful counterweight to a thesis process that is often solitary. Thirdly, to Oberlin College and Conservatory. I have benefited enormously from my ability to be a double-degree student here, and am continually amazed by the support and dedication of both faculties to make this program work. And finally to my parents, Steve Cohn and Nancy Eberhardt. They were my first teachers, and remain my intellectual role models. !4 Introduction In 1946, Arnold Schoenberg composed a trio for violin, viola, and cello. Schoenberg earned his reputation as the quintessential musical modernist through complex, often gargantuan pieces with expansive and closely followed musical structures. By contrast, the musical building blocks of the trio are small and the writing is fragmented. The composer Martin Boykan wrote that the trio “is marked by interpolations, interruptions, even non-sequiturs, so that at times Schoenberg seems to be poised at the edge of incoherence.”1 Scattered throughout the piece are musical allusions to the Viennese waltz.

    Presenting the New: Battles around New Music in New York in the Seventies A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Joshua David Jurkovskis Plocher IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY David Grayson, Adviser December 2012 © Joshua David Jurkovskis Plocher 2012 i Acknowledgements One of the best things about reaching the end of this process is the opportunity to publicly thank the people who have helped to make it happen. More than any other individual, thanks must go to my wife, who has had to put up with more of my rambling than anybody, and has graciously given me half of every weekend for the last several years to keep working. Thank you, too, to my adviser, David Grayson, whose steady support in a shifting institutional environment has been invaluable. To the rest of my committee: Sumanth Gopinath, Kelley Harness, and Richard Leppert, for their advice and willingness to jump back in on this project after every life-inflicted gap. Thanks also to my mother and to my kids, for different reasons. Thanks to the staff at the New York Public Library (the one on 5th Ave. with the lions) for helping me track down the SoHo Weekly News microfilm when it had apparently vanished, and to the professional staff at the New York Public Library for Performing Arts at Lincoln Center, and to the Fales Special Collections staff at Bobst Library at New York University. Special thanks to the much smaller archival operation at the Kitchen, where I was assisted at various times by John Migliore and Samara Davis.
