New York Philharmonic Global Academy FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE UPDATED May 28, 2015 April 6, 2015 Contact: Katherine E. Johnson (212) 875-5718; [email protected] NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC GLOBAL ACADEMY FIRST ANNUAL PERFORMANCE RESIDENCY in SHANGHAI Part of the Shanghai Orchestra Academy and Residency Partnership ALAN GILBERT and CHARLES DUTOIT To Conduct Five Concerts Including YOUNG PEOPLE’S CONCERT Soloists To Include JOSHUA BELL and EMANUEL AX Philharmonic Musicians To Lead MASTER CLASSES, LESSONS, and COACHINGS July 4–10, 2015 FIRST PERFORMANCE RESIDENCY at MUSIC ACADEMY OF THE WEST ALAN GILBERT To Conduct Philharmonic DEBUT at SANTA BARBARA BOWL Soloists To Include Soprano JULIA BULLOCK and Tenor BEN BLISS New York Philharmonic and Academy Festival Orchestra Side-by-Side Readings Five Philharmonic Musicians To Serve as VISITING ARTISTS August 1–8, 2015 In the summer of 2015 the New York Philharmonic will undertake its first performance residencies in Shanghai, as part of the Shanghai Orchestra Academy and Residency Partnership, and at the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara. Both collaborations are part of the New York Philharmonic Global Academy, customized collaborations with partners worldwide that offer intensive training of pre-professional musicians by New York Philharmonic members, often, as in these instances, alongside regular performance residencies by the full Orchestra. Shanghai Orchestra Academy and Residency Partnership The New York Philharmonic’s first of four annual performance residencies in Shanghai will take place July 4–10, 2015, with five concerts, including a Young People’s Concert, and activities associated with the Shanghai Orchestra Academy (SOA), including master classes, lessons, and coachings. Music Director Alan Gilbert will conduct three concerts at the Shanghai Symphony Hall during the Orchestra’s residency: an all-American program featuring works by Barber, Copland, Bernstein, Gershwin, and Sousa — including Bernstein’s West Side Story Suite for Violin and Orchestra, with Joshua Bell as soloist — on July 4, 2015; a Young People’s Concert on July 9, 2015, titled Journey to New York and celebrating music composed in and about New York; and a concert featuring Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 14, with Emanuel Ax as soloist, and Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 on July 10, 2015. Mr. Gilbert will repeat the all-American program with Joshua Bell as soloist on July 6, 2015, at the Shanghai Poly Grand Theatre. In addition, Charles Dutoit (more) New York Philharmonic Global Academy / 2 will conduct a concert on July 5, 2015, featuring Brahms’s Piano Concerto No. 2, with Emanuel Ax as soloist; Stravinsky’s Petrushka; and Ravel’s La Valse at the Shanghai Symphony Hall. Also during the residency, New York Philharmonic musicians will take part in educational activities and training as part of the SOA. The four-year Shanghai Orchestra Academy and Residency Partnership, a joint endeavor of the New York Philharmonic and Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, was launched in September 2014. In addition to establishing the Shanghai Orchestra Academy (SOA) — in partnership with the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, and under the leadership of founding president Long Yu — the New York Philharmonic will give annual performance residencies in Shanghai through the 2017–18 season. The SOA’s inaugural class of 22 students began in the 2014–15 season with two weeks of coaching and master classes, culminating with an opening concert at Shanghai Symphony Orchestra’s Chamber Hall featuring musicians from the New York Philharmonic, Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, and Shanghai Orchestra Academy, led by Long Yu. Also in the inaugural season, Philharmonic musicians returned to teach at the SOA in November 2014 and March 2015. In the 2015–16 season, the partnership’s second year, groups of Philharmonic musicians will again travel to Shanghai to train students as part of the Shanghai Orchestra Academy several times over the course of the season. Additionally, for the first time select SOA students will travel to New York City to train and play with New York Philharmonic musicians as Zarin Mehta Fellows, and the full Orchestra will return to Shanghai in the summer of 2016 for the second of its four consecutive summer performance residencies. Music Academy of the West Partnership The New York Philharmonic’s first performance residency at the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara will take place August 1–8, 2015, as part of a four-year partnership that began in the summer of 2014. The Philharmonic will also participate in side-by-side orchestra readings with the Music Academy’s Academy Festival Orchestra, and New York Philharmonic musicians will serve as visiting artists and engage in educational activities with Music Academy students. Alan Gilbert will conduct the New York Philharmonic in its debut at the Santa Barbara Bowl on August 3, 2015, featuring an all-American program of works by Barber, Copland, Gershwin, and Sousa, as well as Bernstein’s West Side Story Concert Suite No. 1 featuring soprano Julia Bullock and tenor Ben Bliss; the latter is a 2012 alumnus of the Music Academy of the West. In addition, Philharmonic Acting Concertmaster Sheryl Staples, Principal Cello Carter Brey, Principal Clarinet Anthony McGill, Principal Tuba Alan Baer, and Associate Principal Percussion Daniel Druckman will join Music Academy faculty members — including Philharmonic Principal Viola Cynthia Phelps — in a chamber music concert that includes the West Coast Premiere of Steve Reich’s Quartet for vibraphones and pianos, and works by Ponchielli, Joseph Turrin, and Dohnányi, August 4, 2015, at the Lobero Theatre as part of the Music Academy Festival Artists Series. These five Philharmonic musicians will also serve as visiting artists for one week, August 1–8, 2015, training Music Academy fellows in collaboration with Academy faculty, including through master classes, chamber music coaching sessions, private lessons, and lectures. (more) New York Philharmonic Global Academy / 3 Philharmonic Assistant Conductor Courtney Lewis will serve as a guest conductor at the Music Academy, leading an Academy Festival Orchestra concert, on July 18, 2015, at the Granada Theater, spotlighting the winners of the Concerto Competition as well as Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra. Alan Gilbert will serve as one of three inaugural Luria Foundation Artists in Residence, part of a program designed to bring noted industry innovators to the Music Academy each summer to teach and perform in multiple areas and disciplines, inspiring creativity and fresh thinking among fellows. Mr. Gilbert will teach a solo piano masterclass at the Academy on August 3, 2015. The Music Academy of the West is the first American partner in the New York Philharmonic Global Academy. This collaboration combines training of Music Academy fellows by Philharmonic musicians; biennial performances by the Philharmonic at the Music Academy Summer Festival; and Academy Festival Orchestra performances at Music Academy Summer Festivals led by Mr. Gilbert. The partnership began with Alan Gilbert and Philharmonic musicians teaching in Santa Barbara in July 2014; the partnership inaugurated the Global Academy Fellowship Program, through which ten instrumentalists from the Music Academy of the West, selected as Zarin Mehta Fellows through auditions, traveled to New York to train and play with the Philharmonic, January 3–13, 2015. The 2015–16 season activities will include the second visit of Music Academy students traveling to New York as Zarin Mehta Fellows; Philharmonic musicians again serving as visiting artists in collaboration with Academy faculty in Santa Barbara through master classes, chamber music coaching sessions, private lessons, and lectures; and Alan Gilbert returning to conduct the Academy Festival Orchestra. In 2017, in Santa Barbara, the Philharmonic and the Academy Festival Orchestra will perform together, led by Alan Gilbert, to commemorate the Music Academy of the West’s 70th anniversary. Twelve New York Philharmonic musicians are alumni of the Music Academy. Artists Music Director Alan Gilbert began his New York Philharmonic tenure in September 2009, the first native New Yorker in the post. He and the Philharmonic have introduced the positions of The Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence, The Mary and James G. Wallach Artist-in- Residence, and the Artist-in-Association; CONTACT!, the new-music series; and the NY PHIL BIENNIAL, an exploration of today’s music by a wide range of contemporary and modern composers inaugurated in spring 2014. As New York magazine wrote, “The Philharmonic and its music director Alan Gilbert have turned themselves into a force of permanent revolution.” In the 2014–15 season Alan Gilbert conducts the U.S. Premiere of Unsuk Chin’s Clarinet Concerto, a Philharmonic co-commission, alongside Mahler’s First Symphony; La Dolce Vita: The Music of Italian Cinema; Verdi’s Requiem; a staging of Honegger’s Joan of Arc at the Stake, featuring Oscar winner Marion Cotillard; World Premieres; a CONTACT! program; and Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble. He concludes The Nielsen Project — the multi-year initiative to perform and record the Danish composer’s symphonies and concertos, the first release of which was named by The New York Times as among the Best Classical Music Recordings of 2012 — and presides over the EUROPE / SPRING 2015 tour. His Philharmonic- tenure highlights include acclaimed productions of Ligeti’s Le Grand Macabre, Janáček’s The (more) New York Philharmonic Global Academy / 4 Cunning Little Vixen, Stephen

Nowak), Thursday, April 19, 2018, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, April 21 at 8:00 p.m.; and Tuesday, April 24 at 7:30 p.m. German conductor Christoph Eschenbach began his career as a pianist, making his New York Philharmonic debut as piano soloist in Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 24 in 1974. Both Christoph Eschenbach and Till Fellner won the Clara Haskil International Piano Competition, in 1965 and 1993, respectively. Mr. Fellner subsequently recorded Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 22 on the Claves label in collaboration with the Clara Haskil Competition. The New York Times wrote of Mr. Eschenbach’s conducting Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9 with the New York Philharmonic in 2008: “Mr. Eschenbach, a compelling Bruckner interpreter, brought a sense of structure and proportion to the music without diminishing the qualities of humility and awe that make it so gripping. … the orchestra responded with playing of striking power and commitment.” Artists Christoph Eschenbach is in demand as a distinguished guest conductor with the finest orchestras and opera houses throughout the world, including those in Vienna, Berlin, Paris, London, New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Milan, Rome, Munich, Dresden, Leipzig, Madrid, Tokyo, and Shanghai.

  • 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.

    December 31, 2007, 8:00pm on PBS New York Philharmonic New Year’s Eve Gala with Joshua Bell In September Live From Lincoln Center observed one of its longtime traditions: the Gala opening concert of the new season of the New York Philharmonic. On December 31 we'll re-invent another longtime Live From Lincoln Center tradition: the Gala New Year's Eve concert by the New York Philharmonic. Music Director Lorin Maazel will be on the podium for a program of music appropriate for the festive occasion, and the guest artist will be the acclaimed violinist, Joshua Bell. I first encountered Joshua Bell at the Spoleto Festival, U.S.A. in Charleston, South Carolina. He was then barely into his teens but he was already a formidable violinist, playing chamber music with some of the world's most honored musicians. Not long afterward he burst upon the international scene at what was described as "a sensational debut" with the Philadelphia Orchestra and its Music Director of the time, Riccardo Muti. Joshua Bell was brought up in Bloomington, Indiana, where his father was a Professor at Indiana University. I.U., as it is known in academia, is an extraordinary university, with a School of Music that is world-renowned. Among its outstanding faculty was the eminent violinist Josef Gingold, who became Josh's inspired (and inspiring) mentor and devoted friend. Indeed it was the presence of Gingold in Indiana that led to the establishment of the Indianapolis International Violin Competition. One way for a young musician to attract attention is to win one of the major international competitions.

  • RICCARDO MUTI New World Records 80370 CHARLES DUTOIT the PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA VINCENT PERSICHETTI
    RICCARDO MUTI New World Records 80370 CHARLES DUTOIT THE PHILADELPHIA ORCHESTRA VINCENT PERSICHETTI Symphony for Strings Piano Concerto ROBERT TAUB, piano During the last four decades of his life, the name of Vincent Persichetti came to signify musicianship of a comprehensiveness virtually unmatched among American composers. Today his influence continues, reaching young pianists nurtured on his Sonatinas and Little Piano Book, school musicians who first experience serious contemporary music through his works for band, church choirs who turn to his Hymns and Responses for the Church Year as an inexhaustible resource, young composers who find his classic textbook Twentieth Century Harmony an indispensable tool, and soloists and conductors for whom his sonatas, concertos, and symphonies stand among the masterworks of American music. Throughout his life Persichetti encouraged healthy, creative participation in music at all levels of sophistication, while shunning dogmas that advocate one compositional approach at the expense of others. Persichetti was born in Philadelphia in 1915, and remained a lifelong resident of that city. At the age of five, he learned to play the piano, organ, and double bass at the Combs Conservatory. He also studied theory and composition under Russell King Miller, who became his most influential teacher. Immershing himself in music while in his teens, Persichetti memorized the scores to be performed weekly by the Philadelphia Orchestra and then attended the concerts to compare his mental realizations with the actual sounds. Composition was an integral part of his study from the start, as was exposure to other arts. Persichetti attended art school during his adolescence, and sculpture continued to be an important creative outlet for him until his death in 1987.
