  • Howard Levy Full Bio
    Howard Levy Full Bio The Early Years Howard Levy began playing piano at age 8. He started improvising after his 3rd piano lesson, and would often improvise for 30 minutes or more. His parents enrolled him in the prep division of the Manhattan School of Music, where he studied piano for 4 years with Jean Graham, and also studied music theory. When Howard was 11, The Manhattan School recommended that he study composition with Nadia Boulanger in Paris. A place for him was guaranteed, but neither he nor his parents wanted him to disrupt his life at age 11 and move to Europe for a year. Howard had a deep love for classical music, but around age 12 he started to become interested in many other styles of music - pop, folk, rock and roll, then Blues and Jazz. While in high school in New York City, Howard won his school’s “Lincoln Center Award”, given to the outstanding musician in the school. He also studied Bach on the pipe organ for 2 years. This was a major influence that has continued to this day. 4 years ago, Howard received his high school’s “Distinguished Alumni” Award. While in high school, he composed “Extension Chord”, an odd- time meter Jazz piece using Indian rhythmic formulas. He eventually recorded this in 2008, with German bass clarinetist Michael Riessler and French accordionist Jean-Louis Matinier on their Enja CD “Silver and Black”. Howard attended Northwestern University, where he played piano in the university’s Jazz Band, led by jazz musicians Bunky Green and Rufus Reid.

  • Imes I Wonder What "Wrang with Me. I Keep Hearing People Soy That They Have Changed Jobs Because Five Or Ten Years in a Job Is Enough
    BROOKLYN ACADEMY OF MUSIC Letter from the President ~imes I wonder what "wrang with me. I keep hearing people soy that they have changed jobs because five or ten years in a job is enough. And here I am after 25 years, still at it, and still, for the most part, enjoying the ride. BAM has changed over the years and yet remains steadily on course. The outpouring of new work by some of our "old-timers" and by young, developing artists trying their wings, and the pursuit of several new initiatives, plus the stimulation of my BAM colleagues, have managed to keep me (or part of me) virgin, available and interested. The first major attraction of my initial season at BAM was Sarah Caldwell's newly formed American National Opera Company, which featured the first staged production in New York of Alban Berg's LULU. The next season, in 1968, had the return of The living Theater in four productions new to New York. In 1969, we introduced Jerzy Grotowski's Polish laboratory Theatre in three productions, and also Twyla Tharp's company on the Opera House stage, with the audience also onstage, seated on three sides. Robert Wilson's LIFE AND TIMES OF SIGMUND FREUD also appeared at BAM in 1969. What is the point of view that informed those early years and that is still operative today? It may seem to be contemporary work by artists outside the mainstream. I think it is deeper and more inclusive than that. For me, it is the application of a critical approach informed by a contemporary sensibility, to what is being produced for the stage today.

  • David Amram in Denver May 10 - 13
    David Amram in Denver May 10 - 13 * David Amram has composed more than 100 orchestral and chamber music works, written many scores for Broadway theater and film, including the classic scores for the films Splendor in The Grass and The Manchurian Candidate; two operas, including the ground-breaking Holocaust opera The Final Ingredient; and the score for the landmark 1959 documentary Pull My Daisy, narrated by novelist Jack Kerouac. He is also the author of two books, Vibrations, an autobiography, and Offbeat: Collaborating With Kerouac, a memoir. A pioneer player of jazz French horn, he is also a virtuoso on piano, numerous flutes and whistles, percussion, and dozens of folkloric instruments from 25 countries, as well as an inventive, funny improvisational lyricist. He has collaborated with Leonard Bernstein, who chose him as The New York Philharmonic's first composer-in-residence in 1966, Langston Hughes, Dizzy Gillespie, Dustin Hoffman, Willie Nelson, Thelonious Monk, Odetta, Elia Kazan, Arthur Miller, Charles Mingus, Lionel Hampton, E. G. Marshall, and Tito Puente. Amram's most recent work Giants of the Night is a flute concerto dedicated to the memory Charlie Parker, Jack Kerouac and Dizzy Gillespie, three American artists Amram knew and worked with. It was commissioned and recently premiered by Sir James Galway, who also plans to record it. Today, as he has for over fifty years, Amram continues to compose music while traveling the world as a conductor, soloist, bandleader, visiting scholar, and narrator in five languages. He is also currently working with author Frank McCourt on a new setting of the Mass, Missa Manhattan, as well as on a symphony commissioned by the Guthrie Foundation, Symphonic Variations on a Theme by Woody Guthrie.
