  • 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.

  • Sound out Loud Ensemble New Arts Venture Challenge Grant Proposal
    Sound Out Loud Ensemble New Arts Venture Challenge Grant Proposal April 5, 2016 Satoko Hayami DMA Candidate in Collaborative Piano, School of Music Executive Summary History and Makeup of Sound Out Loud Sound Out Loud (SOL) is a new music ensemble that recently launched in Madison. SOL is comprised of 7 forward­looking, classically trained musicians, which includes 2 pianists, 1 percussionist, 1 flutist, 1 clarinetist, 1 violinist and 1 cellist. The group is lead by pianists Satoko Hayami and Kyle Johnson, a percussionist Garrett Mendelow. Mission SOL’s mission is to create a growing circle of musicians and audiences to share the excitement of the innovative, contemporary language of newly/recently composed classical music through a series of creative concerts and presentations primarily in the city of Madison. SOL also commissions works of young upcoming composers to enrich the repertoire of the genre. SOL believes that progressive new classical music expands the audience’s existing perspectives of music, and therefore further enhances their appreciation toward music in general. SOL also understands that new music’s relatable contemporary language helps the audience reconnect with conventional classical music, as inherited by contemporary classical music. Through commitment to contemporary classical music, SOL’s hope is to cultivate a sense of freedom toward classical music as well as toward other aspects of life, without the limitation of a conventional concept of music. Method SOL thrives to present high­energy performances of dynamic programs which are intellectually and emotionally inspirational for a wide array of audiences (including both classical music lovers and non classical music lovers).

  • Selections from Eight Pieces for Clarinet, Viola and Piano, Op. 83 Max Bruch
    concerto for two pianos, various chamber pieces, songs, three operas and much choral music. Bruch composed his Eight Pieces for Clarinet, Viola and Piano, Op. 83 in 1909, in his seventieth year, for his son Max Felix, a talented clarinetist who also inspired a Double Concerto (Op. 88) for his instrument and viola from his father two years later. When the younger Bruch played the works in Cologne and Hamburg, Fritz Steinbach reported favorably on the event to the composer, comparing Max Felix’s ability with that of Richard Mühlfeld, the clarinetist who had inspired two sonatas, a quintet and a trio from Johannes Brahms two decades before. Clarinet and viola are here evenly matched, singing together in duet or conversing in dialogue, while the piano serves as an accompanimental partner. Bruch intended that the Eight Pieces be regarded as a set of independent miniatures of various styles rather than as an integrated cycle, and advised against playing all of them together in concert. The Pieces (they range from three to six minutes in length) are straightforward in structure — binary (A-B) or ternary (A-B-A) for the first six, compact sonata form for the last two — and are, with one exception (No. 7), all in thoughtful minor keys. Though Bruch was fond of incorporating folk music into his concert works, only the Romanian Melody (No. 5, Selections from Eight Pieces suggested to him, he said, by “the delightful young princess zu Wied” at one of his Sunday open-houses; he dedicated the work to her) shows such for Clarinet, Viola and Piano, Op.

  • Berkeley Symphony Biography
    Berkeley Symphony Biography Berkeley Symphony is unique among American orchestras: founded in 1969 in the intellectual and artistic nexus of Berkeley, California; led by the restlessly innovative Music Director Joana Carneiro and Executive Director René Mandel, an actively performing violinist; committed to premiering and commissioning new music, including a disproportionate amount of music written by women; and sustained by the supportive musical environment of Berkeley, the East Bay, and the San Francisco Bay Area. From the outset, the people behind Berkeley Symphony’s culture and programming were attuned to the culturally diverse people and the heady creative climate of their home city. Thomas Rarick, a protégé of the great English maestro Sir Adrian Boult, founded the orchestra in 1969 as the Berkeley Promenade Orchestra. Reflecting the spirit of the times, musicians performed in street dress and at unusual locations such as the University Art Museum. When Kent Nagano became the music director of the orchestra in 1978, he charted a new course by offering innovative programming that included a number of rarely performed 20th-century works and numerous premieres. The renamed Berkeley Symphony Orchestra gained an international reputation for its adventurous programming, and became known for premiering the music of international composers and showcasing young local talents. During the 30 years he served as music director, Nagano established an international reputation as a gifted interpreter of both the operatic and symphonic repertoire. Nagano stepped down from his post at Berkeley Symphony in 2008, after his 30th anniversary season. In January 2009, Portuguese conductor Joana Carneiro became the orchestra’s third Music Director in its 40-year history.
