This summer, we are tremendously excited to present a festival season quite literally for the ages. Maps and Legends represents one of our most novel and provocative musical explorations to date. For the next three weeks, we will embark on an expansive journey through some of Western music’s most fascinating times and places, ranging from “Dvorˇák’s America” and 1920s Paris to the aftermath of the Second World War—unique and captivating settings that have fueled the creation of some of chamber music’s most hallowed masterpieces. Through the process of planning Maps and Legends, we have continually found fascinating, and oftentimes surprising, connections among this season’s myriad offer- ings. Our programs celebrating “The English Voice” and “Vienna,” for instance, inform each other in unexpectedly vital ways. The spirit of American song, which so inspired Dvorˇák’s American Quartet, is likewise strong in George Antheil’s riotous Second Violin Sonata and even George Crumb’s otherworldly Music for a Summer Evening. Gersh- win’s iconic An American in Paris, heard in the wake of Richard Strauss’s devastating Metamorphosen, might strike you as an entirely new listening experience. Maps and Legends is an endless constellation of musical worlds that invites many possible jour- neys. The depth of each listener’s discovery is bound only by his or her imagination. Since our inaugural season, we have sought to cultivate Music@Menlo as a source of nourishment for the insatiably curious, and it has been gratifying to find the spirit of musi- cal discovery that inspires us each season shared and valued by so many throughout the community. The multidimensional landscape of this season’s theme continues to nurture that tradition of discovery. By celebrating varied environments that have fostered the creation of great music, Maps and Legends reflects the dynamism of Music@Menlo over the last seven years—this festival has thrived on the energy, generosity, and enthusiasm of the entire Menlo community, from artists and patrons to our remarkable Chamber Music Institute students. We are thankful to have this wonderful community of listeners with whom to share another exciting festival season and look forward to spending the next three weeks with you, exchanging ideas and absorbing great music. Best wishes, David Finckel and Wu Han Artistic Directors The Martin Family Artistic Directorship www.musicatmenlo.org 3 Welcome from the Executive Director Music@Menlo Dear Friends, Welcome to Music@Menlo. We are delighted you are joining us for our eighth season of live Board performance and musical exploration. Ann S.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS from the LEADERSHIP
    ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS FROM THE LEADERSHIP The New York Philharmonic’s 2019–20 season certainly saw it all. We recall the remarkable performances ranging from Berlioz to Beethoven, with special pride in the launch of Project 19 — the single largest commissioning program ever created for women composers — honoring the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Together with Lincoln Center we unveiled specific plans for the renovation and re-opening of David Geffen Hall, which will have both great acoustics and also public spaces that can welcome the community. In March came the shock of a worldwide pandemic hurtling down the tracks at us, and on the 10th we played what was to be our final concert of the season. Like all New Yorkers, we tried to come to grips with the life-changing ramifications The Philharmonic responded quickly and in one week created NY Phil Plays On, a portal to hundreds of hours of past performances, to offer joy, pleasure, solace, and comfort in the only way we could. In August we launched NY Phil Bandwagon, bringing live music back to New York. Bandwagon presented 81 concerts from Chris Lee midtown to the far reaches of every one of the five boroughs. In the wake of the Erin Baiano horrific deaths of Black men and women, and the realization that we must all participate to change society, we began the hard work of self-evaluation to create a Philharmonic that is truly equitable, diverse, and inclusive. The severe financial challenge caused by cancelling fully a third of our 2019–20 concerts resulting in the loss of $10 million is obvious.

CONNECTING ANALYSIS AND PERFORMANCE: A CASE STUDY FOR DEVELOPING AN EFFECTIVE APPROACH ANNIE YIH ne of the purposes of teaching music theory is to connect the practice of analysis with O performance. However, several studies have expressed concern over a lack of connec- tion between the two, and they have raised questions concerning the performative qualities of traditional analytic theory.1 If theorists are to achieve one of the objectives of analysis in provid- ing performers with information for making decisions, and to develop what John Rink calls “informed intuition,” then they need to understand what types of analysis—and what details in an analysis—can be of service to performers.2 As we know, notation is not music; notation must be realized as music, and the first step involves score study.

So many modifications were made to our normal operating procedures due to the pandemic. Some of these modifications will inform how we operate in the future. Others, I hope we never have to implement ever again. Our faculty, staff, and students were resilient in the face of highly pressurized circum- stances. I want to thank them for their grace, adaptability, and understanding as things constantly changed. Early on in the pandemic, the performing arts were singled out as being particularly risky for infection. We took measures to ensure the safety of our faculty, staff, and students as best we could under state, local, and university protocols.

  • Joyce Yang Piano Blessed With
    Joyce Yang Piano Blessed with “poetic and sensitive pianism” (Washington Post) and a “wondrous sense of color” (San Francisco Classical Voice), pianist Joyce Yang captivates audiences with her virtuosity, lyricism, and interpretive sensitivity. As a Van Cliburn International Piano Competition silver medalist and Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient, Yang showcases her colorful musical personality in solo recitals and collaborations with the world’s top orchestras and chamber musicians. Yang came to international attention in 2005 when she won the silver medal at the 12th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. The youngest contestant at 19 years old, she took home two additional awards: the Steven De Groote Memorial Award for Best Performance of Chamber Music (with the Takàcs Quartet) and the Beverley Taylor Smith Award for Best Performance of a New Work. Since her spectacular debut, she has blossomed into an “astonishing artist” (Neue Zürcher Zeitung). She has performed as soloist with the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, the Baltimore, Detroit, Houston, Milwaukee, San Francisco, Sydney, and Toronto symphony orchestras, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, and the BBC Philharmonic (among many others), working with such distinguished conductors as Edo de Waart, Lorin Maazel, James Conlon, Leonard Slatkin, David Robertson, Bramwell Tovey, Peter Oundjian, and Jaap van Zweden. In recital, Yang has taken the stage at New York’s Lincoln Center and Metropolitan Museum; the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC; Chicago’s Symphony Hall; and Zurich’s Tonhalle. Yang kicks off the 2015/16 season with a tour of eight summer festivals (Aspen, Bridgehampton, Grand Tetons, La Jolla, Ravinia, Seattle, Southeastern Piano Festival, and Bravo! Vail) before commencing a steady stream of debuts, return engagements, and notable chamber music concerts.

  • Konzerthäuser in Deutschland
    Raoul Mörchen Konzerthäuser in Deutschland >> Konzerthaus – Was ist das? Was ein Opernhaus ist, ist leicht gesagt. Ein Opernhaus ist ein Haus, in dem Opern gespielt werden. In Opern- häusern werden gemeinhin die zur Aufführung kommenden Opern auch selbst produziert, und zwar ganz oder zum Teil mit eigenem Personal, mit einem eigenen Ensemble, mit einem eigenen Orchester, auf jeden Fall werden die Opern programmiert von einem eigenen Betrieb, einer eigenen Verwaltung, einer eigenen Dramaturgie und einer künstlerischen Leitung.

Historisch betrachtet hat in solchen Mehrzwecksälen das öffentliche Konzert sogar seinen Ursprung genom- men: Sowohl in England, wo sich das bürgerliche Konzertwesen in einer stark merkantil ausgerichteten Ge- sellschaft bereits im frühen 18.
