Martin Katz, Adjudicator Eastman School of Music Voice, Opera & Vocal Coaching Department THIRTY-NINTH ANNUAL JESSIE KNEISEL LIEDER COMPETITION Saturday, May 15, 2021 Kilbourn Hall 1:00 P.M. Martin Katz, Adjudicator 1:00pm Seoyong Lee / Delvan Lin 1:20pm Hannah Stokes / Rebecca Golub 1:40pm David Wolfe / Maeve Berry 2:15pm - Break – 2:45pm Elise Noyes / I-Hsiang Chao 3:05pm Kyrsten Chambers Jones / Brock Tjosvold 3:25pm Edward Bland / Jenny Choo Kirby MARTIN KATZ The NY Times has called Martin Katz “the gold standard of accompanists.” Justifiably so, for his fifty- year career has taken him to five continents, collaborating with the world's most celebrated singers. He has regularly shared the stage and the microphone with Marilyn Horne, Frederica von Stade, Karita Mattila, Kiri Te Kanawa, Lawrence Brownlee, David Daniels, and Piotr Beczala to name but a few. Mr. Katz has also been active as a conductor and editor. He has led opera productions for San Francisco's Merola program, the BBC, as well as innumerable performances at his home school. His editions of baroque and bel canto operas have been performed in Houston, Ottawa, and at the Metropolitan Opera. At the University of Michigan for more than three decades now, he has chaired the program in collaborative piano and coached vocal repertoire and chamber music for singers, pianists and instrumentalists alike. His students are working in their chosen field all over the world. The University has recognized his contribution by awarding him a Distinguished University Professorship. Now an author as well, Mr. Katz's first opus, "The Complete Collaborator," published by Oxford Univ. Press, is widely considered the seminal work on the subject. Dr. Jessie Kneisel (1904-1992) Dr. Jessie Kneisel, a Rochester native, enjoyed a forty-year career as professor of German language, literature, and diction at the Eastman School of Music from 1936 until 1976. Her passion for German culture began early in life. During her high school years, the works of Eduard Mörike and the song settings of his poems by Hugo Wolf kindled her interest in German lieder. She received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in history and German from the University of Rochester in 1928 and 1930. An elected member of Phi Beta Kappa, Dr. Kneisel studied at the University of Bonn, Germany, and received her doctorate from Columbia University in 1947. Her doctoral thesis on Wolf’s Mörike settings established her as a leading authority in a hitherto neglected field of research. In the early 1960s, Dr. Kneisel spent a sabbatical year studying opera in Germany and Austria; upon her return to Eastman, she established a course on German opera libretti. She was an inspired teacher whose personality and scholarship made a deep impression on her students. After her retirement in 1976 she remained deeply invested in the affairs of the Eastman School; she and her husband Karl often spent summers in Europe, visiting former students who had gone abroad to make a career as opera singers in Austria and Germany. The Jessie Kneisel Lieder Competition With the establishment of the Jessie Kneisel Prize in 1981, Eastman began a tradition of celebrating Dr. Kneisel’s rich contributions to the school and her life-long love of German and Austrian culture. An annual competition determines the winners of the Kneisel Prize for an outstanding performance of German lieder by a vocalist and collaborative pianist, and was made possible through a gift from former Kneisel student George T. McWhorter. Ann Clark Fehn (1945-1989) Ann Clark Fehn was associate professor of German and Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies at the College of Arts and Sciences of the University of Rochester until her untimely death at age 44 in 1989. She was a scholar as well as a musician, having earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in piano from the Oberlin College-Conservatory, where she studied with John Perry. She actively performed throughout her career, and was particularly interested in German lieder. In the 1980s she team-taught doctoral seminars at Eastman with Jürgen Thym, professor of musicology, and co-authored articles with him and Rufus Hallmark of the City University of New York on text music relations in the German lied. Fehn was a distinguished teacher and scholar of 20th-century German literature, German lyric poetry, and the relationship between music and literature. The Ann Clark Fehn Memorial Award Established in 1997, the Ann Clark Fehn Memorial Award recognizes excellence in the accompaniment of German lieder. The recipient is chosen during the annual Jessie Kneisel Lieder Competition, and the award is supported in part by a gift from Fehn’s mother, Mrs. Margaret V. Clark.

    Oral History Center University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Frederica von Stade Frederica von Stade: American Star Mezzo-Soprano Interviews conducted by Caroline Crawford in 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015 Copyright © 2020 by The Regents of the University of California Oral History Center, The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley ii Since 1954 the Oral History Center of The Bancroft Library, formerly the Regional Oral History Office, has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Frederica von Stade dated February 2, 2012.

Among the narrators will be former administrators, faculty members, trustees, alumni, and family of former Conservatory luminaries. Through this diverse group, we will explore the growth and expansion of the Conservatory, including its departments, organization, finances and curriculum. We will capture personal memories before they are lost, fill in gaps in our understanding of the Conservatory's history, and will uncover how the Conservatory helped to shape San Francisco's musical culture through the past century.
