His highly collaborative style, deeply-rooted musical curiosity, and boundless enthusiasm, paired with a fresh approach to orchestral programming, have been heralded by critics and audiences alike. The New York Times has called Yannick “phenomenal,” adding that under his baton “the ensemble … has never sounded better.” In his first season he took the Orchestra to new musical heights. His second builds on that momentum with highlights that include a Philadelphia Commissions Micro-Festival, for which three leading composers have been commissioned to write solo works for three of the Orchestra’s principal players; the next installment in his multi-season focus on requiems with Fauré’s Requiem; and a unique, theatrically-staged presentation of Strauss’s revolutionary opera Salome, a first-ever co-production with Opera Philadelphia. Yannick has established himself as a musical leader of the highest caliber and one of the most exciting talents of his generation. Since 2008 he has been music director of the Rotterdam Philharmonic and principal guest conductor of the London Philharmonic, and since 2000 artistic director and principal conductor of Montreal’s Orchestre Métropolitain. In addition he becomes the first ever mentor conductor of the Curtis Institute of Music’s conducting fellows program in the fall of 2013. He has made wildly successful appearances with the world’s most revered ensembles, and has conducted critically acclaimed performances at many of the leading opera houses. Yannick Nézet-Séguin and Deutsche Grammophon (DG) enjoy a long-term collaboration. Under his leadership the Orchestra returns to recording with a newly-released CD on that label of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring and Leopold Stokowski transcriptions. Yannick continues a fruitful recording relationship with the Rotterdam Philharmonic for DG, BIS, and EMI/Virgin; the London Philharmonic for the LPO label; and the Orchestre Métropolitain for ATMA Classique. A native of Montreal, Yannick Nézet-Séguin studied at that city’s Conservatory of Music and continued lessons with renowned conductor Carlo Maria Giulini and with Joseph Flummerfelt at Westminster Choir College. Among Yannick’s honors are an appointment as Companion of the Order of Canada, one of the country’s highest civilian honors; a Royal Philharmonic Society Award; Canada’s National Arts Centre Award; the Prix Denise- Pelletier, the highest distinction for the arts in Quebec, awarded by the Quebec government; and an honorary doctorate by the University of Quebec in Montreal.

Music director of the Academy of Ancient Music (AAM) since 2006 (with his contract extending to 2017), Mr. Egarr established the Choir of the AAM early in his tenure with operas and oratorios at the heart of his repertoire. In September 2012 AAM began a new relationship as Associate Ensemble at the Barbican Centre, where plans include a cycle of Monteverdi operas. In 2010 Mr. Egarr conducted Mozart’s opera La finta giardiniera in concert at the Barbican Centre and the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées. He made his Glyndebourne debut in 2007 conducting a staged version of Bach’s St. Matthew Passion. These current performances mark his Philadelphia Orchestra debut. Mr. Egarr maintains regular relationships at the Amsterdam Conservatory, the Britten Pears Foundation, and the Netherlands Opera Academy, and he is a visiting artist at the Juilliard School in New York. He was recently named principal guest conductor of the Residentie Orchestra in the Hague; each season he will conduct three projects exploring 18th- and 19th-century performance practices, launching with a performance of Haydn’s Creation in December 2013. Mr. Egarr has a flourishing career as a guest conductor with orchestras including Boston’s Handel and Haydn Society where he is an annual guest, the London Symphony, and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. In 2011 he was appointed associate artist of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra in recognition of his growing relationship with that ensemble. He plays recitals across the world and returns to Wigmore Hall in January 2014 for a solo harpsichord recital. In January 2013 Mr. Egarr played the Bach English Suites in London and Cambridge to coincide with his latest Harmonia Mundi release. His discography also includes Bach’s Goldberg Variations and Well-Tempered Clavier, Mozart fantasias and rondos, and the complete harpsichord works of Louis Couperin, as well as many award-winning duo recordings with violinist Andrew Manze. Mr. Egarr’s growing list of recordings directing the AAM includes seven Handel discs; Bach’s complete Brandenburg Concertos; and Birth of the Symphony, the first recording released on the AAM’s own label. 31 Soloist Anna Carmignola/DG Italian violinist Giuliano Carmignola, who is making his Philadelphia Orchestra debut, was born in Treviso and studied first with his father, who encouraged his son’s passion for music; then with Luigi Ferro at the Venice Conservatory; and afterwards with Nathan Milstein and Franco Gulli at the Accademia Chigiana in Siena and Henryk Szeryng at the Geneva Conservatory. Mr. Carmignola’s career was launched in 1973 when he was a prizewinner at the International Paganini Competition in Genoa. He went on to perform the major violin works of the 19th and 20th centuries under such conductors as Claudio Abbado, Eliahu Inbal, Peter Maag, and Giuseppe Sinopoli. He gave the Italian premiere of Henri Dutilleux’s Violin Concerto. Mr. Carmignola collaborated extensively with the Virtuosi of Rome during the 1970s and later with the Sonatori de la Gioiosa Marca, the Orchestre des Champs-Élysées, the Basel Chamber Orchestra, Il Giardino Armonico, and the Zurich Chamber Orchestra. He made his U.S. debut at the Mostly Mozart Festival at Lincoln Center in 2001 and his BBC Proms debut at Royal Albert Hall in 2002.

WILLIAM BOYCE (1711-1779) By the time his symphonies were published (1760), Dr. William Boyce had attained a position of eminence and honor among English musicians. He held the post of Composer to the Royal Chapel, and he was also one of the Chapel's organists. Receiving his doctorate in music at Cambridge, he then took office as Master of the King's Music (1755-1759). His reverence for the old masters of English church music, which was encouraged by his teacher Maurice Greene, resulted in his completing Greene's projected collection of English Cathedral Music, the first volume of which was published in 1760. Vocal music was considered by most composers to be of paramount importance "the finest instrumental music" being regarded as "an imitation of the vocal." It is not therefore surprising that some instrumental forms originated as introductions and adornments to vocal works.

  • Boys' Voices, Lads' Voices: Benjamin Britten and the “Raggazo
    Boys’ Voices, Lads’ Voices: Benjamin Britten and the “Raggazo” (Continental) Sound. Jim Coyle Lecturer, Sydney Conservatorium of Music, The University of Sydney, Australia. Abstract Over 20% of the opus-numbered compositions by Benjamin Britten involved the sound of young voices. In thirteen of these pieces, he stipulated a chorus of trebles. Britten is known to have had a preference for what he perceived as a natural singing sound, rather than the refined and pure tone of a cathedral choir. This study analyses these works for five musical parameters: pitch range, pitch proximity, mean pitch, phrase length, and notated dynamics to demonstrate that Britten had two distinct styles when writing for treble chorus. One is for the traditional English cathedral sound and the other is for the ‘continental’ voice produced by certain choirs for whom he wrote. There are some transitional works composed in the late 1940s and early 1950s that show characteristics of both of these styles. These conclusions will help in interpreting Britten’s works and as technical guidelines for composers seeking particular effects when writing for the treble choir. Keywords trebles, cathedral choir, Benjamin Britten, boys, continental tone, ragazzo. Introduction The Nature of the Question The use of boys’ voices is a noticeable characteristic of the music of English composer Benjamin Britten (1913-1976). He was strongly committed to writing music for children and young people of both sexes and used them as soloists, in small ensembles, and in larger choruses and choirs (Holst, 1966). Certain of the works involving a chorus of boys show a marked timbral difference from the others and were composed with that particularly robust tone colour, the continental or ragazzo sound, in mind (Ashley, 2009).

  • Currieng Alea
    Stefano Marcocchi - viola Stefano Marcocchi was born in Parma (Italy) in 1974. He studied viola at the Conservatorio "A. Boito" where he graduated “Cum Laude” and developed his interest in early music and playing on historic instruments. He joined the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra while still a student in Italy, and at age 22 he was the youngest ever principal violist of the Italian National Radio-Television (RAI) Symphony Orchestra. From 1998–2004 Stefano was a member of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, serving also as leader of the viola section, under such conductors as Claudio Abbado, Daniel Harding, Christopher Hogwood, Kurt Masur, Mark Minkowski, Trevor Pinnock and Andras Schiff. He was invited by Claudio Abbado to join the Lucerne Festival Orchestra and the Orchestra Mozart. In the early 90s Stefano started to be passionately involved in the research of Baroque, Classical and Romantic strings historical performance aside with the discovery of the underrated repertoire of the Viola da Braccio through a personal research conducted on the authentic sources of which he owns a notable collection of ancient originals. He has been principal violist of Europa Galante since 2001, playing extensively in Europe, North and South America, Asia and Australia, and taking part in twenty recording projects. Stefano appears regularly as principal viola with other prominent period-instrument ensembles in Italy and Europe, including Les Talens Lyriques, Il Complesso Barocco, Ensemble Zefiro, I Barocchisti, Il Pomo d'Oro, Ensemble Cordia, Ars Musica Zürich, and he has also enjoyed playing with Accademia Bizantina, Ensemble Aurora, Ensemble Concerto and Modo Antiquo.
