The family eventually settled in Marshall, Michigan. Julius received degrees from and taught at Michigan State University, where he also met his future wife, Esther Leiberman. The Stulberg bond with Kalamazoo was forged in 1941 when he accepted the post of conductor of the newly established Junior Symphony. In 1945, the Stulberg family moved to Kalamazoo when Julius joined the faculty of Western Michigan University. Throughout his life, his wife Esther was his support and helpmate. Following Julius’ death at the age of 61 in 1974, she was the driving force behind the establishment of the Competition, which memorializes his life’s passions. After Esther’s death in 2001, a dedicated Board of Directors, a corps of volunteers and the Stulberg family assumed the mantle of responsibility for the competition. Today, the Stulberg is one of the longest- standing string competitions in the country and is unique among music competitions due to its focus on young string musicians, its strong reputation, and high caliber of judges. Over the years, more than 2,500 musicians have participated in the Stulberg, and more than one hundred have been awarded a medal. Many have gone on to illustrious careers in the fields of music performance and education. Throughout its history, the Stulberg has attracted world- renowned musicians to Kalamazoo to serve as Competition judges and Master Class instructors. Through its Master Classes and Education Outreach, the Stulberg extends its impact by providing free learning opportunities for local musicians and audiences. 10 Stulberg Board of Directors OFFICERS President President-Elect Secretary Treasurer Alisa Carrel Colleen McBride Naomi Siegel Kurt Voissem Morse BOARD MEMBERS Sonya Bernard-Hollins Audrey Lipsey Sophié van der Westhuizen Linda Depta Mary McCormick Sakhi Vyas Pamela Enslen Derl Oberlin Ann Fergemann Camille Riley Executive Director - Kathleen Jones Anna Swank Bothwell Megan Yankee Thomas G.

  • The Hours Begin to Sing Songs by American Composers Performed by Soprano Lisa Delan New Cd Released by Pentatone Classics
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THE HOURS BEGIN TO SING SONGS BY AMERICAN COMPOSERS PERFORMED BY SOPRANO LISA DELAN NEW CD RELEASED BY PENTATONE CLASSICS A new CD, The Hours Begin to Sing, with songs by American composers performed by soprano Lisa Delan, has just been released on the PentaTone Classics label (PTC 5186 459). The recording features the art songs of William Bolcom, John Corigliano, David Garner, Gordon Getty, Jake Heggie and Luna Pearl Woolf and is the partner CD to the 2009 album And If The Song Be Worth A Smile. Ms. Delan and pianist Kristin Pankonin, joined by guest artists Matt Haimovitz, David Krakauer and Maxim Rubtsov, present four premiere recordings, three of which were written specifically for this disc. 2 Ms. Delan states, “To be part of the creative process of new songs from their inception to fruition is an exhilarating – and altogether humbling – experience. Myriad externalities influence the direction of the journey from the moment the text speaks to a composer until the moment the performers speak the text, but the great wonder is in what happens in-between, in the mind and hand of the composer.” Contents of the CD PentaTone Classics (PTC 5186 459) THE HOURS BEGIN TO SING Lisa Delan, soprano Kristin Pankonin, piano Matt Haimovitz, cello David Krakauer, clarinet Maxim Rubtsov, flute Jake Heggie (1961) – From The Book of Nightmares For Soprano, Cello, and Piano Poems by Galway Kinnell I.

    Das Usedomer Musikfestival 2021 wird gefördert durch Mittel der Bundes- regierung, der Landesregierung Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, des Landkreises Vorpommern-Greifswald, der Ämter Usedom-Nord und Usedom-Süd, der Stadt Świnoujście, der Gemeinden der Insel Usedom sowie durch zahlreiche Liebes Sponsoren und Förderer: Festivalpublikum, „Litauen, mein Vaterland! Wie die Gesundheit bist du! Wer dich noch nie ver- loren, der hat dich nie gekannt!”. Der polnische Dichter Adam Mickiewicz, den die Litauer Adomas Mickevičius nennen, eröffnet damit sein Epos „Pan Finanzgruppe Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Tadeusz”. Ist es nicht eine seltsame Fügung, dass wir beim Usedomer Mu- sikfestival Litauen ins Zentrum stellen, nachdem wir uns alle so angespannt um unsere Gesundheit sorgen mussten? „Wer dich noch nie verloren, der hat dich nie gekannt!” – nachdenklich, aber mit Zuversicht wollen wir aufbrechen in eine neue Normalität des Festivallebens. Ihr überwältigender Zuspruch im vergangenen Jahr gibt uns Mut dafür. In Litauen lebten seit alters her Litauer zusammen mit Polen, Deutschen, Juden und Weißrussen. Mit Filmen von Vol- ker Koepp und einer Lesung von Corinna Harfouch werden wir diese Geschich- te wachrufen. Die Volkslieder Litauens sind Weltkulturerbe der Unesco; sie leben weiter in jungen Spitzenkünstlern wie dem Akkordeonisten Martynas Levickis und dem Pianisten Lukas Geniušas. Der Cellist und Dirigent David Geringas ist litauischer Kulturpatriot und Weltbürger zugleich. Er wird die Musik seines Landes auf Usedom, zwischen Wald und Meer, Schloss und Seebad, ebenso feiern, wie der Gewandhausorganist Michael Schönheit und der neue litauische Weltstar der Opernbühne: Aušrine Stundytė. Auch das NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester und unser Baltic Sea Philharmonic kommen wieder nach Peenemünde. Sie sind eingeladen, dabei zu sein!

  • 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.
