Our festival will feature the first-ever United States residency of British composer Cecilia McDowall and the U.S. premiere of her symphonic work Seventy Degrees Below Zero, commissioned in 2012 by the City of London Sinfonia and the Scott Polar Research Institute, based in Cambridge, England. Seventy Degrees Below Zero is a cantata for solo voice (to be sung by faculty tenor James Doing) and orchestra, inspired by a phrase written by British captain Robert Falcon Scott to his wife prior to his death while returning from an expedition to the South Pole: “Dear, it is not easy to write because of the cold – 70 degrees below zero.” Joining us on Friday, Feb 20, will be Michael DuVernois of the UW-Madison IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center, who will sketch an entertaining history of Cecilia McDowall polar research from the past to the present, including UW-Madison’s role today. Often inspired by extra-musical influences, McDowall’s writing combines a rhythmic vitality with expressive lyricism. In 2008, the Phoenix Chorale won a Grammy Award for “Best Small Ensemble Performance” for its Chandos CD, “Spotless Rose: Hymns to the Virgin Mary,” which included Three Latin Motets composed by McDowall. Writes Guy Rickards of Gramophone: “Her idiom [is] one of euphonious tonality and expressive clarity, with challenging vocal lines that avoid being overly taxing.” Colloquium Feb 19; Concert Feb. 20 (Tickets required: adults $20); Concert Feb. 21 (free). For a complete schedule, please see www.music.wisc.edu/cecilia-mcdowall/ “Honoring George Crumb at 85” Celebrating the composer’s 85th birthday with concerts and master classes. Mar 20 – 23, PLEASE SEE INSIDE FOR DETAILS. Grammy- and Pulitzer-Prize winning avant-garde composer George Crumb is known for his unusual timbres and innovative voice and instrumental techniques. Crumb’s music often juxtaposes contrasting musical styles, ranging from music of the western art-music tradition, to hymns and folk music, to non-Western musics. Our four-day festival will feature performances by a variety of guest and local musicians. Vox Balaenae, a work for electric flute, cello, and piano, is inspired by the recordings of whale songs and will be performed on March 20 by Lakeshore Rush, a Chicago-based new music ensemble featuring several School of Music alumni. George Crumb Cellist Parry Karp of Madison’s Pro Arte Quartet will solo with the UW’s Contemporary Chamber Ensemble on March 21 in a performance of Crumb’s Sonata for Solo Cello. Making her first Madison appearance on March 22 will be New York City violinist and violist Miranda Cuckson, described by the New York Times as “a prodigiously talented player who [can] make even the thorniest contemporary scores sing.” She will perform works by Crumb, UW-Madison composer Laura Schwendinger, Sebastian Currier and Augusta Read Thomas. On March 23, Chicago musicians Due East, with Erin Lesser on flute and Greg Beyer on percussion, will present Crumb’s well-known Madrigals, Books 1-4 in a multi-media triptych video montage that becomes a magical and powerful “environment.” PLEASE NOTE: Tickets are required for Miranda Cuckson (adults $20) and Due East (adults $10). Students are free to both. For a complete schedule, please see www.music.wisc.edu/george-crumb/ “Rediscovering Rameau” PLEASE SEE INSIDE FOR DETAILS. The year 2014 marks the 250th anniversary of Jean-Philippe Rameau’s death, and celebrations of the composer and music theorist’s life are taking place in France and around the world. Performers and scholars from across campus will gather to describe Rameau’s world, his ideas, the works of philosophers and artists he interacted with, and to demonstrate the scientific discoveries that informed his music theories. It will provide a unique opportunity to learn about this period, as well as one of its most fascinating musicians. The UW-Madison and community partners will offer a series of free public events in February, March and April, culminating with two ticketed concert performances of Rameau’s one-act opera, Pygmalion, by the Madison Bach Musicians.
