Mimi Stillman and Bart Feller Celebrate Julius Baker and J.S. Bach October 2015 Mimi Stillman and Bart Feller Celebrate Julius Baker and J.S. Bach Interviews by Patricia Spencer and Katherine Saenger ctober’s NYFC concert is a “made for New York” version of the Bach and the OLegacy of Julius Baker program that Mimi Stillman’s Dolce1 Suono Ensemble (www.dolcesuono.com) presented in the group’s home base of Philadelphia on January 18, 2015. Mimi Stillman and Bart Feller, both former Baker students, will celebrate the fundamental role of J.S. Bach in Baker’s career and teaching with a performance of two Bach trio sonatas and a set of eight Bach-inspired inventions for two flutes (some with piano, some not) commissioned by Dolce Suono from some of their favorite composers. We start with Pat Spencer’s early September mini-interview of Mimi about the process of commissioning (since Mimi’s biographical basics were covered in a November 2010 Newsletter interviewed by Wendy Stern), continue with some words from the composers on their new compositions (prompted by Pat’s probing questions posed in the same time frame), and round things out with Bart’s August answers to Kathy Saenger’s questions about his beginnings and career with the flute.

I had an exciting and busy three days. I served Wendy Stern, First Vice President on the jury for the Young Artist Competition, rehearsed and Nancy Toff, Second Vice President Katherine Saenger, Recording Secretary played on a tribute concert for my teacher, Alexander Murray, Deirdre McArdle, Membership Secretary and performed John Williams’ The Patriot and Sousa’s Stars Rie Schmidt, Treasurer From the and Stripes Forever on the finale concert as part of a 14-player Carla Auld Yevgeny Faniuk President celebrity piccolo contingent.

Malcolm Spector Stefani Starin In my first event at the convention, I was a judge for the Young Artist Mary-Ann Tu David Wechsler Competition. The artistry of all the competitors was of the highest level, but what Advisory Board amazed me the most was how they each performed the newly commissioned work, Jeanne Baxtresser Stefán Höskuldsson Jim & John by Michael Fiday. This brilliant piece, inspired by blues fife and drum, as Robert Langevin Gerardo Levy recorded by Alan Lomax in Mississippi in the late 1950s, uses extended techniques in Marya Martin Judith Mendenhall ingenious ways. It was a huge success with the audience and sold like hotcakes after Michael Parloff Jayn Rosenfeld Renée Siebert the competition.

    MIMI STILLMAN, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR 2017 2018 “ONE OF THE MOST DYNAMIC GROUPS IN THE US!” SEA—The Huffington SON Post DOLCE SUONO ENSEMBLE has been enriching and informing people’s lives through chamber music since its founding by flutist and Artistic Director Mimi Stillman in 2005. Hailed as an “adventurous ensemble” (The New York Times) and “One of the most dynamic groups in the US!” (The Huffington Post), the ensemble performs critically acclaimed chamber music concerts at home and on tour, commissions new works, makes recordings, and engages in community engagement partnerships. Dolce Suono Trio, its high-profile trio of flute, cello, and piano, evolved organically from the longstanding collaboration of flutist Mimi Stillman and pianist Charles Abramovic joined by cellist Nathan Vickery (Gabriel Cabezas) to explore and expand the repertoire of this captivating combination. “The three were flawlessly in sync – even their trills!” (The Philadelphia Inquirer) Dolce Suono Ensemble presents innovative programs of Baroque to new music. Historian Mimi Stillman’s curatorial vision sets the music in its broadest cultural context. Some of its artistically and intellectually powerful projects include the celebrated Mahler 100/ Schoenberg 60, Debussy in Our Midst: A Celebration of the 150th Anniversary of Claude Debussy, A Place and a Name: Remembering the Holocaust, Women Pioneers of American Music, and Música en tus Manos (Music in Your Hands), our engagement initiative with the Latino community. Dolce Suono Ensemble enjoys the support of grantors including the Nation- al Endowment for the Arts, William Penn Foundation, Knight Foundation, Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, and Yamaha Corporation of America.

  • The Recordings
    Appendix: The Recordings These are the URLs of the original locations where I found the recordings used in this book. Those without a URL came from a cassette tape, LP or CD in my personal collection, or from now-defunct YouTube or Grooveshark web pages. I had many of the other recordings in my collection already, but searched for online sources to allow the reader to hear what I heard when writing the book. Naturally, these posted “videos” will disappear over time, although most of them then re- appear six months or a year later with a new URL. If you can’t find an alternate location, send me an e-mail and let me know. In the meantime, I have provided low-level mp3 files of the tracks that are not available or that I have modified in pitch or speed in private listening vaults where they can be heard. This way, the entire book can be verified by listening to the same re- cordings and works that I heard. For locations of these private sound vaults, please e-mail me and I will send you the links.

This thesis looks at the Curtis Institute of Music and how the school is challenging students to expand their thinking by involving a diverse group of stakeholders in the complete redesign of performance experience. A description of an interactive planning and idealized design project, called the Curtis Leadership Workshop, is presented. This thesis specifically provides an overview of the theory, model and applied methodology, and an account of the preparation for and first critical steps of the project. Outcomes of critical steps are presented and a number of research questions for a formal impact analysis are proposed.
