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.

  • CMS Southern Chapter Regional Conference
    1 CMS Southern Chapter Regional Conference February 25 – 27, 2021 Virtual Conference 2 A Message from the CMS Southern Chapter President Welcome to the 42nd Annual Conference of the CMS Southern Chapter! What a wonderful conference we had last year in Nashville at Vanderbilt, though it would end up being one of the few CMS regional conferences that took place in the spring. The year 2020 was indeed a difficult one, with a global pandemic, severe economic hardship and uncertainty, and a polarizing political climate during an election year. Like many other CMS chapters, we’re holding our conference online this year, and preparing for this conference has been unlike any other year in the 42 years of existence. But we charge ahead! This year’s conference will include all of the excellent performances, demonstrations, papers, posters, panels, and concerts that would occur during any year. Oral presentations (papers, panels, demonstrations, lecture recitals, and posters) will occur via Zoom meetings hosted by the session chair. All concerts will also occur on Zoom, and performances are pre- recorded and shared during the event by the session host. AirMeet will serve as our platform for hosting all Zoom sessions. Links to sessions are found in the AirMeet link (provided to all registrants via email). We are honored to have Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billings as our keynote speaker this year. Dr. Ladson-Billings is a renowned pedagogical theorist and teacher/educator. She will be joining us via Zoom on Saturday at 1pm for a presentation and Q&A session regarding her research as well as the powerful role music can play in change, reconstruction, and inclusivity.

    WelcometoSongfest2004! “Search and see whether there is not some place where you may invest your humanity.” – Albert Schweitzer Songfest 2004 is supported, in part, by grants from the Aaron Copland Fund for Music and the Virgil Thomson Foundation. Special thanks to Elaine Chow. Website design by Tamaki Hiratsuka. 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 2004 at Pepperdine University once again this summer. In our second 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 and opera to exploring the cantata arias of J.S. Bach and the creative fruits of 20th and 21st century compositions for voice and piano with our new Program for New Art Song. The début of this new addition brings established composers and master and apprentice level composer participants to Songfest to join our musical community. We are privileged to have John Harbison this year as the composer-in-residence. As I reflect on Songfest’s growth over these eight seasons in championing art song, I realize how much this premise illuminates the power of music as a window to undiscovered worlds of meaning. What makes the singer’s art unique in the world of music is the joining of words and musical sound, and the resulting mystery of communication that is born from this marriage.
