Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association Announces Programming for 2013/14 Season CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCES PROGRAMMING FOR 2013/14 SEASON CHICAGO (February 6, 2013)—Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) Music Director Riccardo Muti and Deborah F. Rutter, president of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association (CSOA), announce the programming for the CSO and Symphony Center Presents (SCP) 2013/14 season—the Orchestra’s 123rd season and Maestro Muti’s fourth season as music director. Next season, Maestro Muti leads 10 weeks of concerts with the Orchestra in Chicago, with appearances in September, October, January, February, March and June. The rich array of programs developed by Maestro Muti for the upcoming season showcase his unique relationship with the musicians of the CSO, while supporting his commitment to bringing live music to the broadest possible audience via the Association’s Citizen Musician initiative. He and the Orchestra continue to collaborate with today’s visionary artists to present well-known and less-familiar repertoire for concert experiences that are both impactful and memorable. Among Maestro Muti’s programming for the 2013/14 season is a special celebration of Verdi’s bicentennial; a survey of Schubert’s orchestral music, including the symphonies and Mass No. 5 in A-flat Major, enriched by additional lieder and chamber music performances; and the world premiere of a CSO-commissioned work by composer and cellist Giovanni Sollima for two cellos and orchestra. Sollima’s music has been championed by Maestro Muti, who has commissioned and led premieres of his works at both the Ravenna Festival and La Scala. For this premiere with the CSO, Sollima and the CSO’s Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant Yo-Yo Ma perform the solo parts. Maestro Muti also leads the CSO’s first performance of a work written to commemorate the events of September 11, 2001 by his friend and colleague, Ennio Morricone. Voices from the Silence was commissioned by the Ravenna Festival and received its world premiere there under the baton of Maestro Muti. Other highlights of the Orchestra’s 2013/14 season include: Truth to Power, a three-week festival in May featuring music by Britten, Prokofiev and Shostakovich A celebration of Britten’s centennial with performances of the War Requiem and other major works Two weeks of programming by Helen Regenstein Conductor Emeritus Pierre Boulez that focus on his work as a composer, teacher and curator CSO Principal Flute Mathieu Dufour and the Orchestra perform the world premiere of Guillaume Connesson’s CSO-commissioned Flute Concerto Beyond the Score offers insights into three symphonies by Berlioz, Haydn and Ives as part of a season-long examination of the evolution of the symphonic form The programs of Symphony Center Presents and the Institute for Learning, Access and Training complement CSO subscription programs and demonstrate Maestro Muti’s and the CSOA’s commitment to supporting young musicians and to serving the Chicago community through music. The diverse initiatives of the Institute—25 in all—further support these efforts, while the numerous SCP series bring a wide range of today’s leading artists and ensembles from all genres of music to Chicago. SCP programming in 2013/14 is highlighted by a special commissioning project, led by pianist Emanuel Ax, which explores new works paired with music by Brahms, as well as special Schubert lieder recitals to complement the CSO’s Schubert Cycle. The SCP Orchestra, Chamber Music and Piano series further expand the broad spectrum of the world’s talent from around the world that come to Chicago to perform on the Symphony Center stage. The SCP Jazz series marks its 20th anniversary in 2013/14 and programming will be announced later this spring.

A master of dramatic expression, an expert at portraying passionate characters and adept at creating dramatic scenes, Verdi composed music from the heart that speaks straight to the heart, mirroring a range of human emotion in his work. CSO Music Director Riccardo Muti believes that “Verdi’s music is able to express the deepest and most complex situations in just a single phrase or sometimes even with just two notes. To be so simple and so deep at the same time is very difficult. Verdi was a composer who expressed the most essential feelings of mankind: love, hate, friendship, jealousy—everything that reflects our life, our way of being human. Verdi was able to bring the feelings of the Italian people into a universal sphere—that’s why his music is still loved and understood by people all over the world. Verdi speaks about man, not about superheroes. We all recognize ourselves in the characters that he puts on the stage. He expresses feelings that the entire world can understand.” The CSO’s bicentennial celebration of Verdi includes Maestro Muti leading five programs that feature music by the great Italian composer. Riccardo Muti launches the CSO’s bicentennial celebration of Giuseppe Verdi’s birth and the 2013/14 season with a free community concert featuring the CSO, Chorus (prepared by Chorus Director Duain Wolfe) and two singers he has worked closely with: soprano Barbara Frittoli and bass-baritone Ildebrando D’Arcangelo. The program includes the finale from Act II of Verdi’s La forza del destino and “Va, pensiero” from Nabucco, as well as Brahms’ Second Symphony. Location to be announced. (September 18) Maestro Muti conducts the first CSO subscription program, which includes Verdi’s ballet music from Macbeth, along with works by J. Strauss, Jr. (Overture to Indigo and the Forty Thieves) and Brahms (Symphony No. 2). (September 19) Symphony Ball features an all-Verdi program with Maestro Muti leading the CSO, Chorus and soprano Barbara Frittoli and bass-baritone Ildebrando D’Arcangelo in incidental music and choruses from Macbeth, Ernani, Nabucco and La forza del destino, as well as the Overture to I vespri siciliani. (September 21) Maestro Muti leads the CSO and Chorus in a concert version of Verdi’s great opera Macbeth. Soloists include baritone Dario Solari (Macbeth), soprano Tatiana Serjan (Lady Macbeth), bass Dmitry Belosselskiy (Banco), tenor Francesco Meli (Macduff), tenor Antonello Ceron (Malcolm), mezzo-soprano Anna Malavasi (Lady in Waiting) and bass Gianluca Buratto (Doctor). (September 28, October 1, 4 and 6) Maestro Muti conducts the CSO and Chorus in a special one-time-only performance of Verdi’s Requiem on the exact 200th anniversary of the composer’s birth, with soprano Tatiana Serjan, mezzo-soprano Daniela Barcellona, tenor Mario Zeffiri and bass Ildar Abdrazakov. (October 10) 4 A CELEBRATION OF SCHUBERT “Clara, today I was transported. A symphony of Franz Schubert’s was played at the rehearsal. If only you had been there.” – Robert Schumann, in a letter to his fiancée, Clara Wieck When Robert Schumann unearthed a trove of Franz Schubert’s forgotten scores during a trip to Vienna, he discovered something special—beautiful melodies, symphonies bursting with rhythmic vitality, an untapped world of mysterious, enchanting sound. Schubert, a master of song and a creative genius, had worked consistently throughout his mere 31 years, writing symphonies, more than 600 lieder, and chamber music—much

  • Macbeth in World Cinema: Selected Film and Tv Adaptations
    International Journal of English and Literature (IJEL) ISSN 2249-6912 Vol. 3, Issue 1, Mar 2013, 179-188 © TJPRC Pvt. Ltd. MACBETH IN WORLD CINEMA: SELECTED FILM AND TV ADAPTATIONS RITU MOHAN 1 & MAHESH KUMAR ARORA 2 1Ph.D. Scholar, Department of Management and Humanities, Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology, Longowal, Punjab, India 2Associate Professor, Department of Management and Humanities, Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology, Longowal, Punjab, India ABSTRACT In the rich history of Shakespearean translation/transcreation/appropriation in world, Macbeth occupies an important place. Macbeth has found a long and productive life on Celluloid. The themes of this Bard’s play work in almost any genre, in any decade of any generation, and will continue to find their home on stage, in film, literature, and beyond. Macbeth can well be said to be one of Shakespeare’s most performed play and has enchanted theatre personalities and film makers. Much like other Shakespearean works, it holds within itself the most valuable quality of timelessness and volatility because of which the play can be reproduced in any regional background and also in any period of time. More than the localization of plot and character, it is in the cinematic visualization of Shakespeare’s imagery that a creative coalescence of the Shakespearean, along with the ‘local’ occurs. The present paper seeks to offer some notable (it is too difficult to document and discuss all) adaptations of Macbeth . The focus would be to provide introductory information- name of the film, country, language, year of release, the director, star-cast and the critical reception of the adaptation among audiences.

  • Neoliberalism and Aesthetic Practice in Immersive Theatre
    Masters i Constructing the Sensorium: Neoliberalism and Aesthetic Practice in Immersive Theatre A dissertation submitted by Paul Masters in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Drama Tufts University May 2016 Adviser: Natalya Baldyga Masters ii Abstract: Associated with a broad range of theatrical events and experiences, the term immersive has become synonymous with an experiential, spectacle-laden brand of contemporary theatre. From large-scale productions such as Punchdrunk’s Sleep No More (2008, 2011) to small-scale and customizable experiences (Third Rail Projects, Shunt, and dreamthinkspeak), marketing campaigns and critical reviews cite immersion as both a descriptive and prescriptive term. Examining technologies and conventions drawn from a range of so-called immersive events, this project asks how these productions refract and replicate the technological and ideological constructs of the digital age. Traversing disciplines such as posthumanism, contemporary art, and gaming studies, immersion represents an extension of a cultural landscape obsessed with simulated realities and self-surveillance. As an aesthetic, immersive events rely on sensual experiences, narrative agency, and media installations to convey the presence and atmosphere of otherworldly spaces. By turns haunting, visceral, and seductive spheres of interaction, these theatres also engage in a neoliberal project: one that pretends to greater freedoms than traditional theater while delimiting freedom and concealing the boundaries

Sutanto B.M., The Boston Conservatory, 1995 M.M., Manhattan School of Music, 1997 Committee Chair: Prof. Frank Weinstock Abstract Vladimir Horowitz and Evgeny Kissin would certainly be included among the very few of the greatest pianists ever recorded. This document provides a detailed description of their interpretations of Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition based on their recordings. The document begins with brief biographical information about Mussorgsky and Victor Hartmann, which is then followed by a historical background of Pictures. Brief biographies of Horowitz and Kissin are included as well. The concluding chapter discusses whether or not it is important for pianists to follow Mussorgsky’s original intentions regarding the suite. Is it necessary for pianists to make some changes or improvisations to the suite—eccentric playing? Will Pictures still sound good and interesting if pianists faithfully follow the score—academic playing? Pianists Frank Weinstock and Jason Kwak offer their opinions in answering these questions.
