Mr. Sykes brings a new dimension to the traditional career of the classically trained vocalist by drawing on gospel and jazz influences to deliver performances in differing musical genre that often leaves audiences and critics searching for new superlatives. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution was inspired to proclaim, “Jubilant Sykes’ voice is extraordinary. He isn’t merely an outstanding singer; his voice is art at its highest expression.” Mr. Sykes was honored with a Grammy nomination for “Best Classical Recording of 2009.” That same recording, Leonard Bernstein’s Mass, was named “Editor’s Choice” by Gramophone Magazine. Sykes has also performed with a number of the world’s finest orchestras and opera companies. He has worked with such conductors as Kurt Masur, Lorin Maazel, Leonard Slatkin, Christoph Eschenbach, David Robertson, Andrew Litton, Marin Alsop, David Zinman, John Nelson, John Williams, Keith Lockhart and the late Marvin Hamlisch. Sykes has been the featured soloist with many of the world’s finest orchestras, including the New York Philharmonic, London Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Minnesota Orchestra as well as the orchestras of Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Houston and numerous others. Jubilant Sykes recently made his acting debut in a film with Cuba Gooding, Jr., and performed the lead role in the play “Breath and Imagination,” presented by Hartford Stage.

The Choir also appears on Grammy-winning albums by Linda Ronstadt, MC Hammer, Tramaine Hawkins, and others. OIGC, a “treasured Bay Area institution,” was named “Best Gospel Choir” in 2006 and was the winner in the “Best Church Music” category in 2009 in the East Bay Express Reader’s Polls.

  • A “Jubilant” Voice by Diane Petersen the Press Democrat December 9, 2011
    A “Jubilant” Voice by Diane Petersen The Press Democrat December 9, 2011 For lack of a better term, baritone Jubilant Sykes is often labeled a crossover artist. The classically-trained singer, in demand as an opera and orchestral soloist all over the world, feels equally at home singing jazz and gospel music, Top 40 hits and Broadway tunes. “The term crossover, I get it,” he said in a phone interview from his home in Venice Beach. “But for me, I’m just a singer … If I had to label myself, I’m a folk singer, and I sing what I like.” The baritone will sing two beloved spirituals this weekend when he joins the Santa Rosa Symphony for a set of holiday vocal concerts. During the first half of the program, Sykes will warm up his deep, resonant voice with the classic spirituals, “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” and “Were You There?” During the second half, he will join forces with soprano Karen Clift and the Santa Rosa Symphony Honor Choir for a performance of Johannes Brahms’ uplifting German Requiem . “The unifying factor is that these are sacred works, and it’s singing to the divine, of the divine,” Sykes said of the concert program. “Stylistically, they are excruciatingly different, and that’s probably the challenge.” First appearance a success Sykes first appeared with the Santa Rosa Symphony in 1998, when he sang the bass solo in Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, along with three spirituals. That concert was such a success that he was asked to return the next year, opening the symphony’s 1999-2000 season with Copland’s “Old American Songs,” a Mahler song and two Mozart arias.

Kennedy Center of the Performing Arts opened with the premiere of one of the most controversial works in history. Situated on the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., the Kennedy Center was conceptualized by the National Cultural Center Act under the legislation of President Eisenhower. John F. Kennedy was an avid supporter of the arts and took control of fundraising for the Cultural Center. Two months after his death, Congress decided to name the Center after him, stating that the Center would be a “living memorial” for the late President. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis asked Leonard Bernstein to create a piece that would be played at the inauguration of the Kennedy Center (kennedy-center.org). A friend and former school-mate of the late president, Bernstein composed Mass in honor of John F.

    PRELUDE, FUGUE News for Friends of Leonard Bernstein RIFFS Fall/Winter 2009 The Bernstein Project n September 20, the Southbank OCentre in London launched The Bernstein Project. Inspired by the life of Leonard Bernstein, this innovative project will encompass BERNSTEIN more than 30 events throughout the 2009-2010 season, drawing PROJECT on Bernstein's work as a musician, humanitarian, communicator and educator and providing a multi­ faceted exploration of his life through concerts, films, lectures and participatory workshops. American conductor Marin Alsop is the project's Artistic Director. The Bernstein Project kicked off with a day of events called Mass Rally. The day began with a vocal workshop that engaged the public in learning some of the music from Bernstein's Mass. This was followed by a per­ formance of songs from West Side Story featuring pupils from local schools. Then the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain composed a tribute to Leonard Bernstein through improvisation. The day also included a showing of the film A Total Embrace by Nina Bernstein Simmons, and a discussion of Bernstein's life by Alexander and Jamie Bernstein. The day culminated with Mass Gathering, a concert that featured music from Candide and extracts of Beethoven's Ode to Joy con­ ducted by Alsop.

  • Letters Shed New Light on Bernstein Era by Mark Horowitz
    News for Friends of Leonard Bernstein Fall/ Winter 2011/2012 Letters Shed New Light on Bernstein Era by Mark Horowitz lmost as soon as the bulk of the Leonard Bernstein Collection began arriving in the Music Division at the Library of Congress Ain 1993, the collection became among our most heavily used. Estimated to contain close to 400,000 items, we believe it to be the Music Division’s largest collection of the papers of an individual (as opposed to a music publisher or an organization such as the Federal Theater Project). One of the things that makes the collection so useful and important is its breadth and range. Bernstein’s meteoric success starting at such a young age, quickly followed by his hiring of Helen Coates as a secretary and assistant, with her talents as a meticulous archivist and keeper of the flame, makes the collection one of rare completeness. And because the substance comes from Bernstein himself—through a life filled with creativity, passion, events and interests that extended widely in music, the arts, culture, politics, family, friendships, and social causes—the subjects reflected in the collection are as wide-ranging as the man. While one might assume that the music manuscripts form the heart of the collection—and they are certainly a treasured and oft-consulted part—it turns out that many of the other series have become the focus of much interest and research. Among those series are photographs, scrapbooks, business papers, fan mail, writings, and the personal correspondence. It’s that correspondence I want to focus on here.

  • Doctor of Musical Arts
    Confronting the Celebrant of Bernstein’s Mass: A Study of Musical Borrowing A document submitted to The Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Performance Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music Voice 2014 by John W. Wright B.M., Maryville College, 1987 M.M., University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, 1990 Committee Chair: David Adams i ABSTRACT This document studies musical borrowing in the five principal solos of the Celebrant, the central character of Bernstein’s Mass: A Theatre Piece for Singers, Players and Dancers (1971), with words by co-lyricist Stephen Schwartz. The solos treated are “A Simple Song,” “The Word of the Lord,” “Our Father . .,” “I Go On,” and “Fraction: Things Get Broken.” Drawing on reports of borrowing found in published secondary literature by Jack Gottlieb, Paul Laird, and Helen Smith, and also in unpublished research by Copland scholar Daniel Mathers, this study documents Bernstein’s sources, analyzes their compositional uses for Mass, and explores them critically in light of the work’s eclectic musical conception and aims. Critical findings treat how Bernstein chose and manipulated his sources in view of several objectives crucial to this work’s composition, its function of dedicating the opening of Kennedy Center (on September 8, 1971), and its long, controversial reception. These objectives include the widely discussed “reaffirmation of faith” which Bernstein strove to express in Mass; defiance of political and religious dogma; use of his own personalized faith symbolism; and continued synthesis of vernacular and classical influences for which he remains most celebrated.
