  • Parsifal and Canada: a Documentary Study
    Parsifal and Canada: A Documentary Study The Canadian Opera Company is preparing to stage Parsifal in Toronto for the first time in 115 years; seven performances are planned for the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts from September 25 to October 18, 2020. Restrictions on public gatherings imposed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic have placed the production in jeopardy. Wagnerians have so far suffered the cancellation of the COC’s Flying Dutchman, Chicago Lyric Opera’s Ring cycle and the entire Bayreuth Festival for 2020. It will be a hard blow if the COC Parsifal follows in the footsteps of a projected performance of Parsifal in Montreal over 100 years ago. Quinlan Opera Company from England, which mounted a series of 20 operas in Montreal in the spring of 1914 (including a complete Ring cycle), announced plans to return in the fall of 1914 for another feast of opera, including Parsifal. But World War One intervened, the Parsifal production was cancelled, and the Quinlan company went out of business. Let us hope that history does not repeat itself.1 While we await news of whether the COC production will be mounted, it is an opportune time to reflect on Parsifal and its various resonances in Canadian music history. This article will consider three aspects of Parsifal and Canada: 1) a performance history, including both excerpts and complete presentations; 2) remarks on some Canadian singers who have sung Parsifal roles; and 3) Canadian scholarship on Parsifal. NB: The indication [DS] refers the reader to sources that are reproduced in the documentation portfolio that accompanies this article.

  • UBC High Notes
    UBC High Notes 2009-2010 Season UBC High Notes The newsletter of the School of Music at the University of British Columbia I am delighted to welcome you to the eleventh edition of High Notes, in which we celebrate the recent activities and major achievements of faculty, staff and students in the UBC School of Music. I hope you enjoy this snapshot, which captures the diversity, quality, and impact of our activities and contributions — we are a vibrant community of creators, performers, and scholars! I warmly invite you to read about the School of Music in these pages, and to attend many of our performances in the coming months and years. The 2009-10 year is a significant anniversary for the School. UBC established its Department of Music in 1947 under the leadership of Harry Adaskin, and initially offered B.A. degrees with a major in Music. The Bachelor of Music degree was then developed with the first students entering in September 1959 (by which time the faculty also included other Canadian musical trailblazers like Jean Coulthard and Bar- bara Pentland). These 50 years have witnessed an impressive expansion in our degree programs, so that we now offer Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral programs in performance, music education, composition, music theory, musicology, and ethnomusicology. What started with a few dozen students has grown into a dynamic and diverse community of over 300 undergraduates and 130 graduate students. Music is thriving at UBC, and we continue to witness exciting increases in the size, quality, and scope of our programs. Our 50th Anniversary year is an opportunity to reflect with gratitude on the generous support the School has received from many donors, and with admiration on the countless contributions to musical performance and education that scores of faculty and thousands of alumni have made over the past five decades — throughout BC, across Canada, and around the world.

    UBC High Notes Newsletter of the School of Music at the University of British Columbia Fall 2012 Director’s Welcome Welcome to the fourteenth edition of High Notes, celebrating the recent activities and major achievements of the faculty and students in the UBC School of Music! I think you will find the diversity and quality of accomplishments impressive and inspiring. A major highlight for me this year is the opportunity to welcome three exciting new full-time faculty members. Pianist Mark Anderson, with an outstanding international reputation gave a brilliant first recital at the School in October.Jonathan Girard, our new Director of the UBC Symphony Orchestra, and Assistant Professor of Conducting, led the UBC Symphony Orchestra in a full house of delighted audience members at the Chan Centre on November 9th. Musicologist Hedy Law, a specialist in 18th-century French opera and ballet is, has already established herself well with students and faculty in the less public sphere of our academic activities. See page 4 to meet these new faculty members who are bringing wonderful new artistic and scholarly energies to the School. It is exciting to see the School evolve through its faculty members! Our many accomplished part-time instructors are also vital to the success and profile of the School. This year we welcome to our team several UBC music alumni who have won acclaim as artists and praise as educators: cellist John Friesen, composer Jocelyn Morlock, film and television composer Hal Beckett, and composer-critic-educator David Duke. They embody the success of our programs, and the impact of the UBC School of Music on the artistic life of our province and nation.

In Auckland the response to the APO’s concert performance brought the audience to its feet cheering.

The variety, quality, and international impact of these contributions to scholarship and public life are inspiring and impressive, and each year brings a stream of new work and echoing accolades. After our exciting “year of renewal” in 2010/2011, we are now taking full advantage of our revitalized facilities. The handsomely renovated Roy Barnett Recital Hall is acoustically brilliant and well equipped, and is the heart of our teaching and performing activities every day. The beautiful and historic Old Auditorium has been thoroughly modernized as a teaching, rehearsal, and performance space perfect for classical opera, and also for concerts, recitals, and other events. The splendid Chan Centre, with its contemporary design and acoustic radiance, is home for our Symphony Orchestra, Symphonic Wind Ensemble, Concert Winds, University Singers, and Choral Union, plus one fully staged opera each season by the UBC Opera Ensemble. The Chan Centre also features its own programming and numerous community partnerships. These three wonderful venues add depth and richness to the musical life of UBC. Thanks to significant investments by the Province, University, Faculty of Arts, the School of Music itself, and the support of many generous private donors, our faculty and students enjoy facilities that few institutions Photo credit: Martin Dee can match. We are always delighted to welcome the community to our many performances in these three superb venues.

  • Newsletter September 2011 (PDF)
    Newsletter September 2011 CHAIRMAN’S INTRODUCTION Dear Member, The Committee hopes you had an enjoyable summer. Some Members were in Bayreuth and Bruce Arnold, who was previously there in 1959, has kindly offered to give us the first talk after summer, comparing and contrasting his two visits. We have largely finalised our schedule of talks until next summer and hope you will find that at least some of them are of interest to you. Dates to the end of 2011 are now fixed, but further details are needed, and some possible changes may occur, for 2012. We will update the website as information becomes available and the next Newsletter will also provide more details. A key part of the year will be our continuing Study Days on Wagner’s Operas with Derek Watson. We continue with Lohengrin in October and hope in spring to follow with Tristan. That we are having talks twice this year is following representations from Members. This newsletter also contains a review of the trip to Karlsruhe by Mary Spollen and I contribute a short note on the Congress in Wrocław this year. Ian Fox kindly supplied a bibliography for those interested in following up some of the things discussed in his lecture last November, while Michael Marr reminds us of the website. Lastly, Chris McQuaid has offered some thoughts on the new production of Tannhäuser in Bayreuth this year. We look forward to seeing you at meetings Kind regards, Anthony Linehan, Chairman 2 SOCIETY PROGRAMME OF EVENTS 2011/ 2012 Our wide-ranging programme of lectures was very well attended over the past months and plans for the forthcoming season are well advanced.
