Princeton University Press Princeton, New Jersey — 2 — Mrs. Serge Koussevitzky and Erich Leinsdorf The Berkshire Music Center 3Efc In 1940, the Berkshire Music Center was established at Tanglewood by the Boston Symphony Orchestra in fulfillment of the dream of Serge Koussevitzky, MH 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 his leader- ship until his death in 1951, when he was succeeded by Charles Munch. Erich Leinsdorf has been Director of the Center since 1963 and Joseph Silverstein, UBS Concertmaster of the Orchestra, is Chairman of the Faculty. Since the founding of the Center, one of the principal sponsors of composers and contemporary music at Tanglewood has been the Koussevitzky Music Founda- tion, established in 1 942 by Serge Koussevitzky, then Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, in memory of his wife Natalie. Last year the Festival of Contemporary Music was honored to open the celebration of the Foundation's 25th anniversary with performances of many of the works commissioned by the Foundation. Many visiting composers and composition teachers at the Center work and stay at the Koussevitzky Studio for Composers, located on the Kousse- vitzky estate near Tanglewood, which was established in 1966 by the Foundation in conjunction with the National Federation of Music Clubs. The Director "Each year under the auspices of the Berkshire Music Center and the Fromm Foun- dation, a Festival of Contemporary Music is presented here at Tanglewood. I am very pleased that this festival takes place within our larger Berkshire Festival, for I feel that it offers a unique opportunity both for composers of today to be heard and for audiences to learn the works of their contemporaries. 'T think that the Berkshire Music Center is an ideal environment in which to hold the Festival of Contemporary Music, for here at the Center we are striving to give the young, professional musician a chance to be exposed to as much significant music as possible; and it is as important that the instrumentalist and vocalist be able to hear and participate in the music of today as it is that today's composer be given an opportunity to be performed and heard. "Over the past few years I feel we have made great progress toward the goals which its founder, Serge Koussevitzky, envisioned for the Berkshire Music Center. The Center has indeed become a place where the young, talented musician can gain the practical experience he needs to enter the professional life. The instrumentalists and singers who are members of the Center today are talented indeed and akin to the music which is being composed in our time. Thus they make especially good interpreters of the music which our contemporary composers are writing. "The Festival of Contemporary Music has become an integral and important part of the Berkshire Festival and the Berkshire Music Center. I welcome you to this " year's 'festival within a Festival.' — Erich Leinsdorf V Sa B< L\ A; M D Ei & M Pi V< M WUAtf/ oV OUKUtf QOJtik M W X.

Wishing to bring the living flow of musical creation closer to the public, the Foundation aims to return the initiative to the composer and to strengthen the most vital source of a healthy musical culture: composition. To foster the realization of this aim, the Founda- tion commissions new works, awards prizes for existing works, and sponsors the study, performance, publication and recording of contemporary music. The Foundation is headed by Paul Fromm of Chicago, its founder and President, and Alexander Schneider, its Associate Director. The Fromm Music Foundation program at Tanglewood was begun in 1957. aH t&i CONTEMPORARY MUSIC AT TANGLEWOOD The Contemporary Music Program at the Berkshire Music Center comprises two kinds m of activity: the study and performance of contemporary music, and instruction in com- position 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 m Schuller, President of the New England Conservatory of Music. Student composers not only receive instruction from Mr. Schuller and this year's guest teacher, Ernst Krenek, but also participate in a series of seminars conducted by four visiting com- posers: Robert Cogan, Mario Davidovsky, Earle Brown, and Andrew Imbrie. In addition 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. Mr. Schuller replaces Aaron Copland who retired in 1965 after twenty-five years as head of the Composition Department at the Center. THE FESTIVAL "The Festival of Contemporary American Music was initiated in 1963. The generous support of the Fromm Music Foundation and the farsighted vision of the Berkshire Music Center's Director, Erich Leinsdorf, have made this week-long confrontation 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 re- affirms the position that music can only survive in our society through the careful nurturing of the creative mind.

  • George Avakian Interviewer
    Funding for the Smithsonian Jazz Oral History Program NEA Jazz Master interview was provided by the National Endowment for the Arts. GEORGE AVAKIAN NEA JAZZ MASTER (2010) Interviewee: George Avakian Interviewer: Ann Sneed with recording engineer Julie Burstein Date: September 28, 1993 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History Description: Transcript, 112 pp. Sneed: I’m Ann Sneed. We are in Riverdale. We’re interviewing George Avakian. There’s so many things to say about you, I’m just going to say George Avakian and ask you first, why jazz? Avakian: I think it happened because I was born abroad, and among the things that came into my consciousness as I was growing up was American popular music, and then it drifted in the direction of jazz through popular dance bands, such as the Casa Loma Orchestra, which I heard about through the guys who were hanging around the home of our neighbor at Greenwood Lake, which is where we went in the summers. We had a house on the lake. Our next-door neighbors had two daughters, one of whom was my age and very pretty, Dorothy Caulfield, who incidentally is responsible for Holden Caulfield’s last name, because J. D. Salinger got to know her and was very fond of her, named Holden after her family name. These boys came from the Teaneck area of New Jersey. So it was a short drive to Greenwood Lake on a straight line between New York and New Jersey. They had a dance band, the usual nine pieces: three brass, three saxophones, three rhythm.

This dissertation will serve as a unifying element in bringing the Armenians in the diaspora and in the homeland together through the power of music. The information collected for each piece includes instrumentation, duration, publisher information, and other details. This research will be beneficial for music students, conductors, orchestra managers, festival organizers, cultural event planning and those studying the influences of Armenian folk music in orchestral writing. It is especially intended to be useful in searching for music by Armenian composers for thematic and cultural programing, as it should aid in the acquisition of parts from publishers. In the early part of the 20th century, Armenian people were oppressed by the Ottoman government and a mass genocide against Armenians occurred. Many Armenians fled
