  • Anthony Braxton
    Call for Papers 50+ Years of Creative Music: Anthony Braxton – Composer, Multi-Instrumentalist, Music Theorist International Conference June 18th‒20th 2020 Institute for Historical Musicology of the University Hamburg Neue Rabenstr. 13 | 20354 Hamburg | Germany In June, 2020, Anthony Braxton will be celebrating his 75th birthday. For more than half a century he has played a key role in contemporary and avant-garde- music as a composer, multi-instrumentalist, music theorist, teacher, mentor and visionary. Inspired by Jazz, European art music, and music of other cultures, Braxton labels his output ‘Creative Music’. This international conference is the first one dealing with his multifaceted work. It aims to discuss different research projects concerned with Braxton’s compositional techniques as well as his instrumental- and music-philosophical thinking. The conference will take place from June 18th to 20th 2020 at the Hamburg University, Germany. During the first half of his working period, dating from 1967 to the early 1990s, Braxton became a ‘superstar of the jazz avant-garde’ (Bob Ostertag), even though he acted as a non-conformist and was thus perceived as highly controversial. In this period he also became a member of the AACM, the band Circle, and recorded music for a variety of mostly European minors as well as for the international major Arista. Furthermore, he developed his concepts of ‘Language Music’ for solo-artist and ‘Co-ordinate Music’ for small ensembles, composed his first pieces for the piano and orchestra and published his philosophical Tri-Axium Writings (3 volumes) and Composition Notes (5 volumes). These documents remain to be thoroughly analyzed by the musicological community.

  • Celebrating Slatkin Booklet FINAL
    Marie-Hélène Bernard St. Louis Symphony Orchestra President & CEO Dear Leonard, When you made your conducting debut with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra in 1968, who could have imagined that we’d gather on the same stage 50 years later to celebrate a remarkable partnership – one that redefined what an American orchestra could – and continues – to be. What you built with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra starting 50 years ago remains core to our mission. It’s the solid bedrock we’ve been building on for the past five decades: enriching lives through the power of music. Your years with the SLSO reshaped this orchestra, earning it the title of “America’s Orchestra.” You connected with our community – both here in St. Louis and on national and international stages. By taking this orchestra on the road, you introduced the SLSO and St. Louis to the world. You recorded with this orchestra more than any other SLSO music director, championing American composers and music of our time. Your passion for music education led to your founding of the St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra, which is the premiere experience for young musicians across our region. Next year, we will mark the Youth Orchestra’s golden anniversary and the thousands of lives it has impacted. We admire you for your remarkable spirit and talent and for your amazing vision and leadership. We are thrilled you have returned home to St. Louis and look forward to many years sharing special moments together. On behalf of the entire St. Louis Symphony Orchestra family, congratulations on the 50th anniversary of your SLSO debut.
