Kirjassa pyritään kuvaamaan Ellen Urhon musiikkikasvatuksellista ajattelua sekä kartoittamaan musiikkikasvatuksen ja sen korkeakouluopetuksen, erityisesti Sibelius- Akatemian, lähihistoriaa niin sisällöllisesti kuin institutionaalisesti, ja näin tiedostamaan paremmin nykyisten käytäntöjen ajatuksellista ja ideologista taustaa. Kirja sisältää kuvauksia ja tarinoita Ellenin värikkäästä työelämästä, jossa yllättävät käänteet ja lukuisat kohtaamiset nivoutuvat osaksi hä- nen elämänsä portaikkoa. Ellenin elämäkerran kuvaukset avaavat nä- köalan moneen musiikkikasvatuksen lähihistorian maisemaan. Tarinat kertovat ansioituneesta, työlleen omistautuneesta ja sitä koko sydämes- tään tekevästä ihmisestä. Ellen Urho on tehnyt historiaa olemalla useissa työtehtävissään ja luottamustoimissaan ensimmäinen tai joukon ainoa nainen.

  • Lineage Curated by Julia Bullock Soundbox
    LINEAGE CURATED BY JULIA BULLOCK SOUNDBOX 1 julia bullock on lineage “I’ve found that musicians often share a lot about the various influences in their lives— whether they be historical, political, philosophical, personal, or based on other mediums of art. They let diverse influences not only impact their work, but find ways to let them register explicitly. It’s like musicians are hyper conscious of their lineage—they honor it and value it. So, as I continue to follow along the path and legacy of artists that came before me, lineage has become increasingly important—it’s a part of knowing from where I originated and letting that inform where I envision myself going. The musicians on this SoundBox program could not make music all together in one place, or even at one time, but the very nature of this program—which links material that spans across almost 900 years—captures an audio and visual snapshot of how lineage can inform, influence, impact, and express itself in a musical context.” 2 Esa-Pekka Salonen SAN FRANCISCO SYMPHONY MUSIC DIRECTOR San Francisco Symphony Music Director Esa-Pekka Salonen has, through his many high-profile conducting roles and work as a leading composer, shaped a unique vision for the present and future of the contemporary symphony orchestra. Salonen is currently the Principal Conductor & Artistic Advisor for London’s Philharmonia Orchestra and is Artist in Association at the Finnish National Opera and Ballet. He is a member of the faculty of the Colburn School in Los Angeles, where he developed and directs the pre-professional Negaunee Conducting Program.
