Johnsonk@Nyphil.Org JEFFREY KAHANE to RETURN FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 21, 2015 Contact: Katherine E. Johnson (212) 875-5718; [email protected] JEFFREY KAHANE TO RETURN TO THE PHILHARMONIC TO CONDUCT AND PERFORM ALL-MOZART PROGRAM Piano Concertos Nos. 20 and 21 and Symphony No. 38, Prague June 3–6, 2015 Jeffrey Kahane will return to the New York Philharmonic to conduct and perform an all-Mozart program featuring Mozart’s Piano Concertos Nos. 20 and 21 and Symphony No. 38, Prague, Wednesday, June 3, 2015, at 7:30 p.m.; Thursday, June 4 at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, June 5 at 11:00 a.m.; and Saturday, June 6 at 8:00 p.m. Jeffrey Kahane most recently led and performed with the Philharmonic in March 2014 in a program of Ravel, Weill, and Gershwin. The New York Times wrote that “He conducted the ensemble with confident energy from the piano. ... Mr. Kahane’s conducting and his pianism were clear, straightforward and unassuming, even in virtuosic passages, letting the connections between the works speak, as it were, for themselves. The result was that happy rarity: a symphonic concert with a sustained mood.” Conductor-pianists who have led the Philharmonic from the piano in performances of Mozart piano concertos include: Leonard Bernstein, Erich Leinsdorf, Bruno Walter, Daniel Barenboim, Lukas Foss, and Boris Goldovsky, in addition to Jeffrey Kahane. Related Events Pre-Concert Insights Composer Joelle Wallach will introduce the program. Pre-Concert Insights are $7; discounts available for multiple talks, students, and groups. They take place one hour before these performances in the Helen Hull Room, unless otherwise noted. Attendance is limited to 90 people. Information: nyphil.org/preconcert or (212) 875-5656. Artists Equally at home at the keyboard and on the podium, Jeffrey Kahane performs a diverse repertoire ranging from J.S. Bach to John Adams. Since his Carnegie Hall debut in 1983, he has given recitals across the country and appeared as soloist with major orchestras including the New York and Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestras and the Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, and Atlanta symphony orchestras. He has collaborated with artists including Yo-Yo Ma, Dawn Upshaw, Joshua Bell, Thomas Quasthoff, and the Emerson and Takács Quartets. Currently in his 18th season as music director of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, he was previously music (more) Jeffrey Kahane / 2 director of the Colorado and Santa Rosa Symphony Orchestras. Recent and upcoming engagements include appearances at the Aspen, Mostly Mozart, Caramoor, Ravinia, Blossom, and Oregon Bach festivals; concerto performances with the Toronto, Houston, Milwaukee, Oregon, Nashville, and Colorado symphony orchestras and the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra; conducting/playing with the San Francisco, National, Detroit, Vancouver, Indianapolis, and New Jersey symphony orchestras; and conducting the New England Conservatory, Juilliard, and National Repertory orchestras. Mr. Kahane’s recordings include works by Gershwin and Bernstein with Yo-Yo Ma for Sony, Paul Schoenfield’s Four Parables for Decca/Argo, the complete Brandenburg Concertos (on harpsichord) on the Haenssler label, and Bernstein’s Symphony No. 2, Age of Anxiety, for Virgin Records, which was nominated for a Gramophone Record of the Year award. Recordings on which Mr. Kahane conducted include the Bach violin concertos with Hilary Hahn and the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra for Deutsche Grammophon. A native of Los Angeles and graduate of the San Francisco Conservatory, he undertook his early piano studies with Howard Weisel and Jakob Gimpel. First Prize winner at the 1983 Rubinstein Competition and a finalist at the 1981 Van Cliburn Competition, he was also the recipient of a 1983 Avery Fisher Career Grant and the first Andrew Wolf Chamber Music Award in 1987. An avid linguist, he received a master’s degree in Classics from the University of Colorado in 2011. Jeffrey Kahane made his New York Philharmonic debut in 1984 performing Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 23, conducted by Neal Stulberg; he most recently led a program of works by Ravel, Weill, and Gershwin (the Concerto in F, for which Kahane was also soloist) in March 2014. Repertoire Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–91) composed the Piano Concerto No. 21 early in 1785, on the heels of his completion of the dramatic Piano Concerto No. 20. Created during a busy time, when Mozart was trying to promote himself as both composer and performer, the Concerto No. 21 is filled with musical ideas that are reminiscent of comic opera, and the opening and closing movements are replete with little fanfares, melodic interjections, marches, timid themes, and drama. The second movement is more dramatically evocative, and became popular in the 20th century after Swedish filmmaker Bo Widerberg used it in the score to his 1967 drama Elvira Madigan. Carl Bergmann conducted S.B. Mills in the Philharmonic’s first presentation of this concerto in November 1865; Alicia de Larrocha was the soloist for the most recent performance, led by André Previn in December 1999. Mozart’s three-movement Symphony No. 38, Prague, while actually written in Vienna, was premiered in Prague in January 1787, only a month after its completion. Mozart had arrived in the Czech city less than one month after the first Prague performance of his latest opera, The Marriage of Figaro; touched by the universal delight for that opera expressed by the people of Prague, he offered the city his newest symphony, which he conducted at its premiere. The New York Philharmonic first performed the appropriately nicknamed Prague Symphony in January 1866, led by Carl Bergmann; the most recent performance was in October 2011, led by Lorin Maazel. Mozart barely finished his Piano Concerto No. 20 before performing the premiere in Vienna in February 1785; when his father arrived the day before the concert, the copyists were still at work. (more) Jeffrey Kahane / 3 It turned out to be his most popular concerto throughout the 19th century, performed regularly and loved by Beethoven, who played it at the behest of Mozart’s widow, Constanze, during a memorial concert in March 1795. Mozart’s first concerto in a minor key, it is one of his stormier, more romantic works, and foreshadows some of the richly dramatic writing in Don Giovanni and the Requiem. Richard Hoffman was the soloist for the Philharmonic’s fist performance of the concerto in March 1861, led by Carl Bergmann; Mr. Kahane performed and conducted its most recent presentation in February 2006. * * * Jeffrey Kahane’s appearance is made possible through the Daisy and Paul Soros Endowment Fund. * * * Programs are supported, in part, by public funds from New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the New York State Council on the Arts, with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. * * * Tickets Tickets for these performances start at $30.

  • Musical Landmarks in New York
    MUSICAL LANDMARKS IN NEW YORK By CESAR SAERCHINGER HE great war has stopped, or at least interrupted, the annual exodus of American music students and pilgrims to the shrines T of the muse. What years of agitation on the part of America- first boosters—agitation to keep our students at home and to earn recognition for our great cities as real centers of musical culture—have not succeeded in doing, this world catastrophe has brought about at a stroke, giving an extreme illustration of the proverb concerning the ill wind. Thus New York, for in- stance, has become a great musical center—one might even say the musical center of the world—for a majority of the world's greatest artists and teachers. Even a goodly proportion of its most eminent composers are gathered within its confines. Amer- ica as a whole has correspondingly advanced in rank among musical nations. Never before has native art received such serious attention. Our opera houses produce works by Americans as a matter of course; our concert artists find it popular to in- clude American compositions on their programs; our publishing houses publish new works by Americans as well as by foreigners who before the war would not have thought of choosing an Amer- ican publisher. In a word, America has taken the lead in mu- sical activity. What, then, is lacking? That we are going to retain this supremacy now that peace has come is not likely. But may we not look forward at least to taking our place beside the other great nations of the world, instead of relapsing into the status of a colony paying tribute to the mother country? Can not New York and Boston and Chicago become capitals in the empire of art instead of mere outposts? I am afraid that many of our students and musicians, for four years compelled to "make the best of it" in New York, are already looking eastward, preparing to set sail for Europe, in search of knowledge, inspiration and— atmosphere.

He will be transitioning to music director laureate at LACO after a 20-year run, the longest of any music director in the ensemble’s history. This appointment ensures he will remain a musical force in Los Angeles for years to come. Officials from USC Thornton and LACO made the joint announcement today that Kahane will join the keyboard studies department to teach piano as well as other classes. “Jeffrey is an important addition to the USC Thornton faculty as we continue to assemble what we believe to be the strongest music faculty in the world,” said Robert Cutietta, dean of USC Thornton. “He has such a strong humanities background that he will be a diverse and strong addition to our school. The sky is the limit on what might evolve.” Kahane said he was “deeply honored to join the immensely distinguished faculty” of USC Thornton and said he is “profoundly grateful for their warm and enthusiastic welcome and support.” Kahane said that a commitment to education has been a central part of his musical life for more than two decades.

  • Familiar Faces in Symphony Season
    Albanian violinist Tedi Papavrami will play Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No. 1 with the Santa Rosa Symphony Oct. 5, 6 & 7. The Press Democrat . Friday, October 4, 2013 by Diane Peterson Familiar Faces in Symphony Season There will be lots of familiar faces when the Santa Rosa Symphony opens its 2013-2014 season this weekend at the Green Music Center's Weill Hall. The “Encores and Debuts” season not only welcomes back such soloists as cellist Maya Beiser but showcases familiar works such as Jean Sibelius' Symphony No. 2. “That's a theme running through the season,” said Santa Rosa Symphony Music Director Bruno Ferrandis. “Because it's anchored in the repertoire, it's one of the most balanced seasons I've ever realized.” The orchestra also will present a few contemporary works on the heels of winning an award from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) for innovative programming during 2012-2013. “For me, it's mission accomplished, as far as the first season in the hall,” Ferrandis said. “This year, we have a lot of things to explore as well ... it's a very creative and modern program.” For Ferrandis, last season flew by quickly — it was the symphony's first year as resident orchestra of the new hall — and ended on a high note with Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 10. This season, the symphony picks up where it left off by performing Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5, one of the composer's most popular works. When it was written in 1937, Shostakovich was under intense scrutiny by the Soviet government.

Aristides Gazetas Costumes by Leo Van Witsen lillllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll NOTE ON THE TANGLEWOOD PRODUCTION In the present production (which is very likely the first in the western hemisphere) all the orchestrally accompanied numbers will be heard in the original form and in the order given in Paisiello's original manuscript, a microfilm of which could fortunately be obtained from the composer's native city of Naples. The only major change is the substitution of spoken dialogue for the secco recitatives of the original version. The uninspired sequence of harmonies in these recitatives creates a strong suspicion that these sections of the score had been entrusted to one of Paisiello's pupils, a common practice in the eighteenth century when composers were expected to fashion full-length works on extremely short notice. Paisiello's score has many features of extraordinary interest. Especially remarkable are the two extended finales, the one to the first act being a worthy precursor of the great second-act finale of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro. In this connection it is worth mentioning that Mozart was present at the first performance of King Theodore in Venice in Vienna and was obviously greatly impressed by the work.

  • La Recepción Temprana De Wagner En Estados Unidos: Wagner En La Kleindeutschland De Nueva York, 1854-1874
    Resonancias vol. 19, n°35, junio-noviembre 2014, pp. 11-24 La recepción temprana de Wagner en Estados Unidos: Wagner en la Kleindeutschland de Nueva York, 1854-1874 F. Javier Albo Georgia State University, Atlanta, USA. [email protected] Resumen Este trabajo se centra en la recepción de la música de Richard Wagner, limitado a un marco geográfico específico, el de la ciudad de Nueva York –en concreto el distrito alemán de la ciudad, conocido como Kleindeutschland– y temporal, el comprendido entre la primera ejecución documentada de una obra de Wagner en la ciudad, en 1854, y la definitiva entronización del compositor como legítimo representante de la tradición musical alemana a partir del estreno de Lohengrin en la Academy of Music, en 1874. Se destaca la labor de promoción a cargo de los emigrantes alemanes, en su papel de mediadores, en los años 50 y 60 del siglo XIX, una labor fundamental ya que gracias a ella germinó la semilla del culto a Wagner que eclosionaría durante la Gilded Age, la “Edad dorada” del desarrollo económico y artístico finisecular, que afectó a todo el país pero de manera especial a Nueva York. Asimismo, se incluye una aproximación a la recepción en la crítica periodística neoyorquina durante el periodo en cuestión. Palabras clave: Wagner; Recepción temprana en Nueva York; Músicos alemanes y emigración, 1850-1875; Crítica periodística. Abstract This study discusses the early reception of Richard Wagner’s music in New York, starting with the first documented performance of a work by Wagner in the city, in 1854, and the momentous production of Lohengrin at the Academy of Music, in 1874.

To the memory of the late (Earl ^rlutrz who, a steadfast and loyal American, remained true to German ideals, and devoted his life to the betterment of his adopted country, never forget- ting or belittling the gifts he had received from the land of his birth, this utnrk is iirMratrii COPYRIGHT, 1908, BY F. T. & J. C. SMILEY NEW YORK CITY — INTRODUCTION THIS work is intended to be a record of all that Germans have accomplished in the United States a record of honest endeavor, energy, perseverance, strength and achievement. It shall, in addition, show the part that the American citizen of German blood has taken in the making of these United States, in peace and war, on the battlefield as well as in the counting house, the workshop and laboratory, in the realm of science and education or in the long fight that was neces- sary to extend civilization and culture over a continent. It contains a history of German immigration in the United States from the first settlements to the present day, showing what the Germans were who left the fatherland, why they came, and what they did in their new country. Every incident throwing light upon the work done by the German element has been made use of to give a complete, though concise, and impartial re- cital of its activity, and a description of the influence it has exerted upon the development of the Union.
