National Calendar June 2008–October 2009 American Masterpieces Chamber Music National Calendar June 2008–October 2009 ince late spring 2008, when the National Endowment for the Arts announced the first round of American Masterpieces: Chamber Music grant recipients, concert audiences have been treated to a steady stream of ensemble works by SU.S.-based composers, past and present. These events have included performances in a wide range of venues, as well as residencies, master- classes, and in-school educational activities. A second season of American Masterpieces projects is now underway, and the application deadline for a third round of grants is imminent. (See www.nea.gov.) Following is a national calendar of American Masterpieces-related performances and events, compiled from data we received before July 1, 2009. The calendar will continue to be updated, both in this magazine, and on the Chamber Music America website. We welcome your additions, corrections and revisions at [email protected]. *Some programming or dates may have changed since the concert information was first reported to CMA. 132 october 2009 JUne 14 & 15 Milwaukee,­WI June p r e s e n t e r Bach Dynamite & Dancing Society p r o g r a m July Kevin Puts, And Legions Will Rise and Einstein on Mercer Street a r t i s t s Jeffrey Sykes, piano; Randall Hodgkinson, JUne 2-14 Vinalhaven,­ME­ piano; Suzanne Beia, violin; Katrin Talbot, viola; Parry Karp, JUly 2 Brunswick,­ME p r e s e n t e r Seal Bay Festival of American Chamber cello, Stephanie Jutt, flute; Doris Hall-Gulati, clarinet; Dane p r e s e n t e r Bowdoin International Music Festival p r o g r a m Music w o r k s Sebastian Currier, Quiet Time (for string Richeson, percussion; Amy Schendel, trumpet; Timothy Elliott Carter, String Quartet No. 5 a r t i s t Amernet Quartet quartet); Libby Larsen, She Wrote (for string quartet); Sally Jones, baritone www.summermusic.org Lamb, Subito (for vio lin, cello and piano) Kay Kyurim Rhie, Three Miniatures a r t i s t s Cassatt String Quartet; Muneko JUly 26 Mt.­Monadnock,­NH­&­ Otani, violin; Nicole Johnson, cello; Adrienne Kim, piano JUne 14-18 Detroit,­MI­&­environs www.sealbayfestival.org p r e s e n t e r Great Lakes Chamber Music Society p r o g r a m environs John Harbison, selections from The Violist’s Notebook, p r e s e n t e r Monadnock Music p r o g r a m G.

Equally adept as solo pianist, collaborative artist, and educator, he exerts a profound influence on the musical community. Kalish commands an extraordinaril broad repertoire, from the 18th century to the present, and his performances have established him as a major figure in American music making. Many of this century's most prominent composers have written new works with Kalish's communicative powers in mind. His concert tours have taken him across the United States and to many of the world's music capitals and university centers. A native New Yorker and graduate of Columbia University, Kalish studied with Leonard Shure, Isabella Vengerova, and Julius Hereford. He is a founding member of the Contemporary Chamber Ensemble and pianist since 1969 for the Boston Symphony Chamber Players. He also appears as a guest artist with such distinguished ensembles as the Juilliard Quartet and the New York Woodwind Quintet.

The energy, excitement, commitment, and intensity are so exciting and wonderful for a composer. Some of the very best performances I’ve ever had have been by the Philharmonic.” — Christopher Rouse _______________________________________ American composer Christopher Rouse will return in the 2013–14 season to continue his two- year tenure as the Philharmonic’s Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence. The second person to hold the Composer-in-Residence title since Alan Gilbert’s inaugural season, following Magnus Lindberg, Mr. Rouse’s compositions and musical insights will be highlighted on subscription programs; in the Philharmonic’s appearance at the Spring For Music festival; in the NY PHIL BIENNIAL; on CONTACT! events; and in the ASIA / WINTER 2014 tour. Mr. Rouse said: “Part of the experience of music should be an exposure to the pulsation of life as we know it, rather than as people in the 18th or 19th century might have known it. It is wonderful that Alan is so supportive of contemporary music and so involved in performing and programming it.” 2 Alan Gilbert said: “I’ve always said and long felt that Chris Rouse is one of the really important composers working today.

Double and other multiple concertos were quite common in the High Baroque, including lots of examples by Vivaldi and, under his influence, Bach, but the solo concerto dominates the Classical period and beyond, with relatively few notable exceptions—Mozart’s two-piano concerto and sinfonias concertante, Beethoven’s Triple, Brahms’s Double—remaining solidly in today’s orchestral repertoire. This concert’s variety of approaches has as its chronological and stylistic extremes Michael Tippett’s 1939 GER Concerto for Double String Orchestra—one of the composer’s first works of significance— N and the brand-new, up-to-the-moment world premiere of the Double Concerto for Baritone GRAI Saxophone, Percussion, and Orchestra written for BMOP by Pittsburgh-based Mathew CLIVE Rosenblum.

Adagio GIL ROSE, conductor PROGRAM NOTES 5 By Clifton Ingram AVNER DORMAN (b. 1975) Uriah : The Man The King Wanted Dead (2009) Avner Dorman is not shy about his roots, which grow deep in his art. Born in Tel Aviv in 1975, Dorman has since transplanted to the United States, where he is currently an as- sociate professor at Sunderman Conservatory of Music at Gettysburg College. But whether composing music about the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) or the American Civil War (both of which he has done, for the record) Dorman identifies Israel as home. Through his music, this sense of home becomes more a feeling, one almost utopian in its endless urge for a hopeful future in spite of harsh reality.

BIOGRAPHY Described by the Warsaw Music Journal as "unquestionably one of the greatest performers of 20th-century music," and the New York Times as "an artist ofintense concentration and conviction," Jeffrey Jacob re­ ceived his education from the Juilliard School (Master of Music) and the Peabody Conservatory (Doctor ofMusical Arts) and counts as his prin­ cipal teachers Mieczyslaw Munz, Carlo Zecchi, and Leon Fleisher. Since his debut with the London Philharmonic in Royal Festival Hall, he has appeared as piano soloist with over twenty orchestras internationally including the Moscow, St. Petersburg, Seattle, Portland, Indianapolis, Charleston, Silo Paulo and Brazilian National Symphonies, and the Si­ lesian, Moravian , North Czech, and Royal Queenstown Philharmonics.
