He has worked with such renowned opera houses and symphony orchestras as La Scala; the Deutsche Oper Berlin; the Royal Concertgebouw, Leipzig Gewandhaus, and Lyon National orchestras; the Chicago, Bamberg, and City of Birmingham symphonies; the Munich and Royal Liverpool philharmonics; and the Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia.

Under his musical direction, NCPA’s productions of Wagner’s Lohengrin and The Flying Dutchman, Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro, Verdi’s Otello, Puccini’s Tosca, and many other works have received glowing reviews from the international press. 25 Soloist Felix Broede Felix Established at the highest level in China, violinist Feng Ning performs regularly in his native country with major international and local orchestras, in recital, and with the Dragon Quartet, which he founded in 2012. Now based in Berlin and enjoying a global career, he has developed an international reputation as an artist of great lyricism and emotional transparency, displaying tremendous bravura and awe-inspiring technical accomplishment. Born in Chengdu, China, Mr. Feng studied at the Sichuan Conservatory of Music; the Hanns Eisler School of Music in Berlin, with Antje Weithaas; and the Royal Academy of Music in London, with Hu Kun, where he was the first student ever to be awarded 100% for his final recital.

His strings are made by Thomastik-Infeld, Vienna. 26 Soloist Catherine Pluchart Cellist Gautier Capuçon performs each season with many of the world’s foremost conductors and instrumentalists and is also founder and leader of the Classe d’Excellence de Violoncelle at the Frank Gehry- designed Louis Vuitton Foundation auditorium in Paris. He is acclaimed internationally for his deeply expressive musicianship and exuberant virtuosity, as well as for the glorious sonority of his 1701 “Matteo Goffriller” cello. In addition to tonight’s performance, highlights of the 2017- 18 season include appearances in a number of orchestral tours across Europe, the U.S., and in Asia, including the Orchestre de Chambre de Paris, the Vienna Symphony, the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic, and the Frankfurt Radio Symphony.

Other recent recordings include Beethoven Sonatas with pianist Frank Braley, Shostakovich’s Cello Concertos with the Mariinsky Orchestra and Valery Gergiev, and Schubert’s String Quintet with Quatuor Ébène. Born in Chambéry, France, in 1981, Mr. Capuçon began playing the cello at the age of five. He studied at the Conservatoire National Supérieur in Paris with Philippe Muller and Annie Cochet-Zakine, and later with Heinrich Schiff in Vienna. The winner of various first prizes in many leading international competitions, including the International André Navarra Prize, he was named New Talent of the Year by Victoires de la Musique in 2001. 27 China’s National Centre for the Performing Arts Orchestra China NCPA Orchestra is the resident orchestra of the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) in Beijing. Established in March 2010, the orchestra performs in more than a dozen opera productions presented by its home venue every year, as well as in regular orchestral concerts in its own season. Artists associated with the orchestra included Zubin Mehta, Valery Gergiev, Myung-Whun Chung, Christoph Eschenbach, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Fabio Luisi, Lang Lang, Stephen Kovacevich, Leo Nucci, and Yuja Wang, among many others. Lorin Maazel worked closely with the ensemble before his passing and praised the musicians for their “amazing professionalism and great passion in music.” The NCPA Orchestra has gained critical acclaim for its performances in NCPA’s opera productions of not only classical repertoire works such as Puccini’s Tosca, Johann Strauss’s Die Fledermaus, Verdi’s Aida and Nabucco, and Wagner’s Lohengrin, but also newly commissioned works such as Lei Lei’s The Chinese Orphan and Guo Wenjing’s The Rickshaw Boy. In its own orchestral concert season, it has consistently presented creative and diverse programs. The orchestra’s performance of The “Ring” without Words with its creator, Lorin Maazel, was released on SONY Classics worldwide, the only recording he ever made with a Chinese orchestra. The NCPAO has also extensively explored contemporary music. It gave the Chinese premieres of works by Tōru Takemitsu and Giya Kancheli, among others, and the world premieres of many works by composers including Michael Gordon and Augusta Read Thomas. The NCPA Orchestra has received widespread international praise for its performances at the Kissingen Summer Music Festival and the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival and concerts in many cities in Germany, as well as in Sydney, Singapore, Seoul, Daegu, Abu Dhabi, Taipei, and Macao. During the 2014-15 season, the orchestra undertook its first North American tour, where it performed in seven major cities in the US and Canada, under the baton of Lü Jia, including in a presentation by The Philadelphia Orchestra at the Kimmel Center. 28 China’s National Centre for the Performing Arts Opened in 2007, China’s National Center for the Performing Arts (NCPA) has become one of the leading institutions of its kind in the world. Strongly committed to presenting and supporting the highest standards of artistic excellence, the Center is considered the home away from home for many of today’s leading artists and ensembles. Across four stellar state-of-the-art performance spaces, the NCPA presents more than 850 events annually, from classical and contemporary concerts to opera, ballet, and theater productions to education and outreach programs. With a mission to share the transformative power of the arts to as many people as possible, the Center serves a diverse and broad audience spanning all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds. The NCPA is not only celebrated as a leading venue for visiting performing artists and ensembles, but it is also home to one of China’s premier orchestras, the China National Center for the Performing Arts Orchestra. Since its launch in 2010, the NCPA Orchestra has become one of the brightest jewels in China’s artistic crown, performing many critically acclaimed concerts at the venue and abroad. In addition to their main- stage concert season, they are also the resident orchestra for all of the Center’s opera productions. Under the direction of its music director, Lü Jia, the ensemble is composed of some of the world’s finest musicians, who all share in the center’s belief of presenting concerts of the highest artistic quality.

With the benefit of time, much of our country’s greatest music, once thought to be merely “popular,” is now taking its rightful place in the category of “American Classics.” I was educated in an environment that was dismissive of much of our great American music.

  • Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907)
    Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 BuYun Chen All rights reserved ABSTRACT Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen During the Tang dynasty, an increased capacity for change created a new value system predicated on the accumulation of wealth and the obsolescence of things that is best understood as fashion. Increased wealth among Tang elites was paralleled by a greater investment in clothes, which imbued clothes with new meaning. Intellectuals, who viewed heightened commercial activity and social mobility as symptomatic of an unstable society, found such profound changes in the vestimentary landscape unsettling. For them, a range of troubling developments, including crisis in the central government, deep suspicion of the newly empowered military and professional class, and anxiety about waste and obsolescence were all subsumed under the trope of fashionable dressing. The clamor of these intellectuals about the widespread desire to be “current” reveals the significant space fashion inhabited in the empire – a space that was repeatedly gendered female. This dissertation considers fashion as a system of social practices that is governed by material relations – a system that is also embroiled in the politics of the gendered self and the body. I demonstrate that this notion of fashion is the best way to understand the process through which competition for status and self-identification among elites gradually broke away from the imperial court and its system of official ranks.

This violin concerto was written by two Chinese composers, Gang Chen and Zhahao He in 1959. It is an orchestral adaptation of an ancient legend, the Butterfly Lovers. This concerto was written for the western style orchestra as well as for solo violin. The orchestra part of this concerto has a deep complexity of music dynamics, reflecting the multiple layers of the story and echoing the soloist’s interpretation of the main character. Musically the concerto is a synthesis of Eastern and Western traditions, although the melodies and overall style are adapted from the Yue Opera. The structure of the concerto is a one-movement programmatic work or a symphonic poem. The form of the concerto is a sonata form including three sections. The sonata form fits with the three phases of the story: Falling in Love, Refusing to Marry, and Metamorphosis.

  • Protection and Transmission of Chinese Nanyin by Prof
    Protection and Transmission of Chinese Nanyin by Prof. Wang, Yaohua Fujian Normal University, China Intangible cultural heritage is the memory of human historical culture, the root of human culture, the ‘energic origin’ of the spirit of human culture and the footstone for the construction of modern human civilization. Ever since China joined the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2004, it has done a lot not only on cognition but also on action to contribute to the protection and transmission of intangible cultural heritage. Please allow me to expatiate these on the case of Chinese nanyin(南音, southern music). I. The precious multi-values of nanyin decide the necessity of protection and transmission for Chinese nanyin. Nanyin, also known as “nanqu” (南曲), “nanyue” (南乐), “nanguan” (南管), “xianguan” (弦管), is one of the oldest music genres with strong local characteristics. As major musical genre, it prevails in the south of Fujian – both in the cities and countryside of Quanzhou, Xiamen, Zhangzhou – and is also quite popular in Taiwan, Hongkong, Macao and the countries of Southeast Asia inhabited by Chinese immigrants from South Fujian. The music of nanyin is also found in various Fujian local operas such as Liyuan Opera (梨园戏), Gaojia Opera (高甲戏), line-leading puppet show (提线木偶戏), Dacheng Opera (打城戏) and the like, forming an essential part of their vocal melodies and instrumental music. As the intangible cultural heritage, nanyin has such values as follows. I.I. Academic value and historical value Nanyin enjoys a reputation as “a living fossil of the ancient music”, as we can trace its relevance to and inheritance of Chinese ancient music in terms of their musical phenomena and features of musical form.

    Bath Festival Orchestra photo credit: Nick Spratling Peter Manning Conductor Rowan Pierce Soprano Monday 17 May 7:30pm Bath Abbey Programme Carl Maria von Weber Overture: Der Freischütz Weber Der Freischütz (Op.77, The Marksman) is a German Overture to Der Freischütz opera in three acts which premiered in 1821 at the Schauspielhaus, Berlin. Many have suggested that it was the first important German Romantic opera, Strauss with the plot based around August Apel’s tale of the same name. Upon its premiere, the opera quickly 5 Orchestral Songs became an international success, with the work translated and rearranged by Hector Berlioz for a French audience. In creating Der Freischütz Weber Brentano Lieder Op.68 embodied the ideal of the Romantic artist, inspired Ich wollt ein Sträuẞlein binden by poetry, history, folklore and myths to create a national opera that would reflect the uniqueness of Säusle, liebe Myrthe German culture. Amor Weber is considered, alongside Beethoven, one of the true founders of the Romantic Movement in Morgen! Op.27 music. He lived a creative life and worked as both a pianist and music critic before making significant contributions to the operatic genre from his appointment at the Dresden Staatskapelle in 1817, Das Rosenband Op.36 where he realised that the opera-goers were hearing almost nothing other than Italian works. His three German operas acted as a remedy to this situation, Brahms with Weber hoping to embody the youthful Serenade No.1 in D, Op.11 Romantic movement of Germany on the operatic stage. These works not only established Weber as a long-lasting Romantic composer, but served to define German Romanticism and make its name as an important musical force in Europe throughout the 19th century.

  • Religion in China BKGA 85 Religion Inchina and Bernhard Scheid Edited by Max Deeg Major Concepts and Minority Positions MAX DEEG, BERNHARD SCHEID (EDS.)
    Religions of foreign origin have shaped Chinese cultural history much stronger than generally assumed and continue to have impact on Chinese society in varying regional degrees. The essays collected in the present volume put a special emphasis on these “foreign” and less familiar aspects of Chinese religion. Apart from an introductory article on Daoism (the BKGA 85 BKGA Religion in China proto­typical autochthonous religion of China), the volume reflects China’s encounter with religions of the so-called Western Regions, starting from the adoption of Indian Buddhism to early settlements of religious minorities from the Near East (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism) and the early modern debates between Confucians and Christian missionaries. Contemporary Major Concepts and religious minorities, their specific social problems, and their regional diversities are discussed in the cases of Abrahamitic traditions in China. The volume therefore contributes to our understanding of most recent and Minority Positions potentially violent religio-political phenomena such as, for instance, Islamist movements in the People’s Republic of China. Religion in China Religion ∙ Max DEEG is Professor of Buddhist Studies at the University of Cardiff. His research interests include in particular Buddhist narratives and their roles for the construction of identity in premodern Buddhist communities.
