    Conducting Studies Conference 2016

    Conducting Studies Conference 2016 24th – 26th June St Anne’s College University of Oxford Conducting Studies Conference 2016 24-26 June, St Anne’s College WELCOME It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to St Anne’s College and the Oxford Conducting Institute Conducting Studies Conference 2016. The conference brings together 44 speakers from around the globe presenting on a wide range of topics demonstrating the rich and multifaceted realm of conducting studies. The practice of conducting has significant impact on music-making across a wide variety of ensembles and musical contexts. While professional organizations and educational institutions have worked to develop the field through conducting masterclasses and conferences focused on professional development, and academic researchers have sought to explicate various aspects of conducting through focussed studies, there has yet to be a space where this knowledge has been brought together and explored as a cohesive topic. The OCI Conducting Studies Conference aims to redress this by bringing together practitioners and researchers into productive dialogue, promoting practice as research and raising awareness of the state of research in the field of conducting studies. We hope that this conference will provide a fruitful exchange of ideas and serve as a lightning rod for the further development of conducting studies research.

    The RNCM: Celebrating 40 Years

    THE RNCM Celebrating 40 years Our music colleges need to present a public face, for it is obvious that the training of performers cannot be done in purdah, but few are as successful as the Royal Northern College of Music in creating a year-round schedule of events available to all. Without the RNCM, Manchester’s musical life would be drastically curtailed: it ranks with Bridgewater Hall as the city’s classical performance centre. No college has such a role in London… Paul Driver The Sunday Times Thomas Pitfield, Professor of Harmony and Counterpoint at the RMCM and for the first year at the RNCM, wrote at the laying of the foundation stone: Two die, and one is born, Hail and farewell; Let mourning organ swell And heralding trumpets play: The best Tomorrow has its roots In Yesterday. 2 1 3 MUSICAL FUSION A History of the RNCM 4 by Michael Kennedy 5 #rncm40 5 MICHAEL KENNEDY, FORMER CHIEF MUSIC CRITIC AND NORTHERN EDITOR OF THE DAILY TELEGRAPH, HAS BEEN PART OF THE FABRIC OF THE RNCM SINCE ITS INAUGURATION FOUR DECADES AGO.

    Pressetext Zum LJO-Konzert Am 23. April 2014

    Landesjugendorchester Berlin Landesjugendorchester erinnert an den Überfall auf Polen vor 75 Jahren mit Werken von Panufnik und Lutosławski Konzert am Mittwoch, 23. April 2014, 20 Uhr im Großen Saal des Konzerthauses Landesjugendorchester Berlin Dirigentin: Sian Edwards Solist: Léo Thouvenin-Masson, Violine Gleich drei Ebenen verbindet das Landesjugendorchester Berlin miteinander im Programm seiner Osterarbeitsphase: Einen aktuellen Anlass, Kompositionen des 20. Jahrhunderts und die Pflege des großen klassischen Konzertrepertoires. Mit der Aufführung von Andrzej Panufniks „Heroic Overture“ (1952/1969) und Witold Lutosławkis „Muzyka Zalobna“ gedenken die jugendlichen OrchestermusikerInnen des Überfalls der deutschen Wehrmacht auf Polen am 1. September 1939. Panufnik, 1914 in Warschau geboren, komponierte während der deutschen Besatzungszeit in Polen patriotische Lieder und trat in Untergrundkonzerten auf – oft als Klavierduo-Partner von Witold Lutosławski. 1944 fiel der gesamte Bestand seiner Werke beim Warschauer Aufstand der Zerstörung durch die Nationalsozialisten zum Opfer, drei Kompositionen rekonstruierte Panufnik aus dem Gedächtnis nach Kriegsende. Panufniks lebenslange Identifikation mit seiner Heimat spiegelt sich in Anklängen an die polnische Musikkultur, folkloristischen Melodien und Tänzen in seinen Werken wider. Der ebenfalls in Warschau geborene Witold Lutosławski (1913-1994) wurde durch den Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkriegs an seinem geplanten Studium in Paris gehindert. Nach seiner Flucht aus deutscher Gefangenschaft teilte er das Los seines Kollegen Panufnik und spielte in Warschauer Cafés Klavier. Nach Kriegsende widmete Lutosławski sich der seriellen Musik. Mit der „Trauermusik“ („Muzyka Zalobna“) von 1958, seiner ersten zwölftonalen Komposition, nimmt er direkten Bezug auf die Stilistik Béla Bartóks. In Béla Bartóks 1. Violinkonzert (1907) beginnt der Solist ohne Orchestervorspiel den ersten Satz. Der Komponist widmete das Konzert der erst 20-jährigen Geigerin Stefi Geyer, die das Werk selbst allerdings nie öffentlich aufführte.

    The Importance of Being Earnest the Hilarious New Opera Based on Oscar Wilde’S Play

    GERALD BARRY The Importance of Being Earnest THE HILARIOUS NEW OPERA BASED ON OSCAR WILDE’S PLAY October 26, 7.30pm - Millennium Forum, Derry~Londonderry October 30, 7.30pm - Grand Opera House, Belfast November 2, 8.00pm - Cork Opera House November 8 and 9, 8.00pm - Gaiety Theatre, Dublin www.niopera.com www.wideopenopera.com Welcome It may feel strange to describe this production of The Importance of Being Earnest as a homecoming tour, particularly as this is only the third time the opera has been seen fully staged anywhere in the world, but in many ways this is exactly what it is. The first performances on the island of Ireland of an opera adapted from one of Oscar Wilde’s most famous plays, written by one of Ireland’s greatest living composers, and co-produced by young opera companies from either side of the border must surely be a cause for celebration. Add to this the involvement of local singers Aoife Miskelly and Christopher Cull, and Ireland’s leading contemporary music group Crash Ensemble, and you have something very special indeed. To this celebration of Irish and Northern Irish culture we are delighted to welcome some of the very best international singers and creative talents, led by director / designer Antony McDonald and conductor Pierre-André Valade. Earnest marks a significant milestone for both NI Opera and Wide Open Opera. Both companies have embraced contemporary opera recently (with NI Opera’s Opera Shorts last year, and Wide Open Opera’s production of The Alma Fetish in September) as well as more established grand opera (The Flying Dutchman, Tristan und Isolde), yet Earnest is something altogether different.

    Australian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 4(10): 5417-5427, 2010 ISSN 1991-8178 Pattern Analyses on Women Entrepreneurship in Performance’s Services Industries: Malaysian and Australian Perspectives. 1Loo Fung Ying and 2Edward Wong Sek Khin 1Cultural Centre, 2Faculty of Business and Accountancy, University of Malaya, Malaysia Abstract: The main aim of this paper is to examine why performance services industry is far being gender neutral. It discusses the feminist debate through the authors’ self-reflective accounts, which rely upon the application of certain concepts of justice, equality, and humanity. With the rise of feminist and then gender studies through the last quarter of the twentieth century, scholars began to indentify the male centrism in the discourse on performance services industry. As they have in many fields (music, literature, and anthropology, among others), strategies to remove or balance the male bias in the study of entrepreneur potency and power in performance services industries have generally fallen into three categories; scholars try to demonstrate that contemporary women have their own equally important entrepreneur power structures that are parallel or tangential to male structures; scholars try to insert women into male power structures; or scholars try to reinsert women and female power into the discourse on performance services industry. This being so, a central question for this paper is “Why is the performance services industry far from being gender neutral?” The authors argue that such issues need to be highlighted, as they perceives that society as it stands is still unfair to women, and that this unfairness should be addressed. The paper also identifies that there are still, unanswered questions as to whether discrimination against suitably qualified women for such positions are defensible according to the current principles of social justice.
