Introduction to Focus 2020 by Joel Sachs The seed for this year’s Focus Festival was planted in December 2018 at a Juilliard doctoral recital by the Chilean violist Sergio Muñoz Leiva. I was especially struck by the sonata of Rebecca Clarke, an Anglo-American composer of the early 20th century who has been known largely by that one piece, now a staple of the viola repertory. Thinking about the challenges she faced in establishing her credibility as a professional composer, my mind went to a group of women in that period, roughly 1885 to 1930, who struggled to be accepted as professional composers rather than as professional performers writing as a secondary activity or as amateur composers.

    Judgments Inexorable Rev. Ken Read-Brown First Parish in Hingham (Old Ship Church) Unitarian Universalist May 24, 2015 Readings Isaiah 2:3-5 Many peoples will come and say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Come, descendants of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the LORD. “Reconciliation” from Drum-Taps by Walt Whitman Word over all, beautiful as the sky! Beautiful that war, and all its deeds of carnage, must in time be utterly lost; That the hands of the sisters Death and Night, incessantly softly wash again, and ever again, this soil’d world: …For my enemy is dead – a man divine as myself is dead; I look where he lies, white-faced and still, in the coffin – I draw near; I bend down and touch lightly with my lips the white face in the coffin. Sermon In the summer of 1865 a woman named Mary Dunbar Williams of Winchester, Virginia, organized a group of women to give proper burial to Confederate dead whose bodies were found in the countryside, and then to decorate those graves annually.

Welcome to the concluding performance of the fourth Lougheed-Kofoed Festival of the Arts, whose scope embracing all the arts, in a continuation of our campus’ historic Spring Festival of the Arts, is generously supported by the visionary gifts of Kathy Kofoed Lougheed ’54 and her husband Don Lougheed (Hon.) ’54. The featured choral-orchestral work on this evening’s program, Johannes Brahms’ beloved German Requiem, had been among those performed most frequently in the Spring Festival, having been featured on nine separate occasions, and having been conducted by some of the iconic figures in the Festival’s history. Helen Hosmer herself conducted it just two years after the beginning of this venerable series, in 1934; and in 1939 her friend and colleague Nadia Boulanger conducted the work.

    THE MARYLAND OPERA STUDIO PRESENTS THE RAPE OF LUCRETIA 1 composed by BENJAMIN BRITTEN SCHOOL of MUSIC UNIVERSITY of MARYLAND libretto by RONALD DUNCAN SOM at The Clarice KAY THEATRE KAY November 18-22, 2016 18-22, November THE MARYLAND OPERA STUDIO’S FALL OPERA PRESENTATION: THE “WHITE OPERA” During their four semesters in the Maryland Opera Studio, singers perform in two fully staged operas. The first of these, presented in the fall of the second training year, receives a minimal production: a chamber orchestra, very little in the way of sets or props, and simplified costumes. Because the basis for the fall opera’s costuming over the years has been a set of white muslin mock-ups of period clothing originally produced for classroom use, it has become known informally as the “white opera.” The purpose is both practical and pedagogical. Minimal production costs allow MOS to present two full productions, instead of just one (as is the practice in most training programs), ensuring that singers graduate with two complete roles on their resumes. Even more important, however, is a principle central to the mission of the Maryland Opera Studio: the training of singers who use their voices, acting, and physical presence to tell an effective dramatic story, without the crutches of sets, costumes, wigs, and makeup. The “white” opera is the art form at its most elemental: the singer, the story, and the music take center stage.

Songfest 2005 is supported, in part, by grants from the Aaron Copland Fund for Music and the Virgil Thomson Foundation. Songfest photography courtesy of Luisa Gulley. Songfest is a 501(c)3 corporation. All donations are 100% tax-deductible to the full extent permitted by law. Dear Friends, It is a great honor and joy for me to present Songfest 2005 at Pepperdine University once again this summer. In our third year of residence at this beautiful ocean-side Malibu campus, Songfest has grown to encompass an ever-widening circle of inspiration and achievement. Always focusing on the special relationship between singer and pianist, we have moved on from our unique emphasis on recognized masterworks of art song to exploring the varied and rich American Song. We are once again privileged to have John Harbison with us this summer. He has generously donated a commission to Songfest – Vocalism – to be premiered on the June 19 concert. Our singers and pianists will be previewing his new song cycle on poems by Milosz. Each time I read these beautiful poems, I am reminded why we love this music and how our lives are enriched. What an honor and unique opportunity this is for Songfest.
