Forum International Sur La Musique Pour Une Prise De International Forum on Music as a Catakyst for Environmental Awareness ANNOTATED AGENDA OBJECTIVE Under the patronage of UNESCO and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and with the support of the Swiss National Commission for UNESCO,, the Association Melody for Dialogue among Civilizations (www.melodydialogue.org) is organising a two-part programme with the theme « Music for a Green Planet ». One is an International Forum to be held at Geneva’s International Conference Centre (CICG). High-level participants will explore the relationship between music, the environment and sustainable development. I twill focus on the potential of music and musical dialogue to heighten awareness of environmental issues – such as water, the oceans, forests, energy and climate change. This Forum will be followed by the second part of the programme, an innovative multi-cultural concert at Geneva’s prestigious Victoria Hall. Over centuries, music has served in all societies as a tool for education and for awareness-raising about the protection of the environment. It has become a vector for promoting an environmental ethic and justice as well as a point of reference for debates on ecology at the community level. The Forum shall indeed be a multi-disciplinary platform of reflection for musicians, composers, academics, policy-makers, media professionals, ecologists and the public at large about the important and creative role music and artists can play in promoting environmental awareness, advancing social change and stimulating concrete action. The concert « Music for a Green Planet » will present works and artists from different origins and cultures. It seeks to highlight the role of music as a vector for awareness and ecological engagement and to emphasize the power of music as a tool for intercultural dialogue and mutual understanding, and above all, to extol cultural diversity. The concert programme will include major musical works by Heitor Villa Lobos (Forest of the Amazon), Claude Debussy (La Mer), Antonio Vivaldi (La Tempesta), select works by the Chinese composer Tan Dun and « Cosmos », a new composition by the contemporary French composer Yann Robin,. The Prague Philharmonic Orchestra will perform under the direction of Maestro Constantine Orbelian, and will dialogue with an ad hoc ensemble of master musicians playing their traditional instruments. The Concert will also support UNEP’s initiative « Let’s Plant the Planet: the campaign for a billion trees. The organizers of the concert fully subscibe to its objectives.

Keynote speakers will address the overarching issues of the agenda from their respective perspectives and experiences. It is also hoped that this high- level intervention may provide strategic orientations and guidance for action in linking music and cultural dimensions to the national and global awareness initiatives in support of environmental protection and climate change action. Each intervention will be allocated between 5 to 8 minutes of speaking time. Following the welcoming statement by the organizer of the Forum, the President of the Melody for Dialogue among Civilizations Association and by a representative of the host country/canton/city, the speakers will intervene in the following order: • President Olusegun Obasanjo (former President of Nigeria) • President Andres Pastrana (former President of Colombia) • Prof Rolf Heuer (Director-General, CERN) • Prof. Walter Erdelen (Assistant Director-General for Natural Sciences, UNESCO) • Angela Cropper (Deputy Executive Director, UNEP – to be confirmed) • Dr. Julia Marton–Lefevre (Director-Geeneral, IUCN) • Prof. Adama Samassekou (former Minister of Mali; Chair of ICV) • Andre Ducret (Directeur de choeur de Suisse Romande) • Jean-Marie Curti (Conductor) Following a musical interlude with the New York Virtuosi Quartet, there will be dedicated session on “water as the future gold?” At this session, speakers are invited to address the importance of ecosystems for sustainable development and how their relevance can best be introduced into educational systems and policy initiatives. A particular issue will be what particular role could music play in this regard. It is hoped that the exchanges will also lead to recommendations at various levels and to different stakeholders how a better linkage between music and sustainable development initiatives can be pursued. – The deliberations will be preceded by short film by the Chinese composer Tan Dun addressing the session’s subject and an extract from a film by Amy Hart “Water First”. Speakers: Dr Magdy Hefny (recherche sur l’éthique de l’eau), Dr Susan Lisa Toch (Commission sur la Gestion des ecosystemes), Amy Hart (Conservationist-film maker), Ruth-Gaby Vermot (Peace Women across the Globe), Jorge Chaminé (Barytone), Catherine Strehler-Perrin (spécialiste du développement durable), Prof Anthony Lehmann (Université de Geneve) Following lunch, there will be a Media Round Table on “The role of culture in environmental awareness-building”. At this session, participants, including highly experienced media personalities, will discuss the role of culture in general, including music, in the promotion of environmental awareness among the population at large. The Round Table may also identify possible courses of action and specific innovative measures that could be taken in this regard. Speakers: Guy Méttan (Directeur, Club Suisse de la Présse), Matthieu Chenal (Journaliste-24 Heures), Nadia Sikorsky (Tribune de Genève), Tristan Cerf (Chief Editor-Matin Blue) Darius Rochebin (Télévision Suisse Romande), Mr Olivier Delhoume (Radio Cite) Olivier Föllmi (artiste/ photographe),, Mr Laurent Aubert (Conservateur au Musee, Ehnomusicologue) Thereafter follows a dedicated session on forests, which is also preceded by a short film with music inspired by forests. Against the background of the crucial role of forests in the environmental context and particularly for climate change action, participants are invited to focus on the potential of linking forests and music. What makes this linkage particularly relevant and promising? The role of traditional knowledge and practices and on social, cultural and spiritual values may be of particular interest in this regard. What recommendations can be developed for national policy-makers and community stakeholders as well as for the actors in the worlds of culture at large and music in particular? Speakers: Bertrand Dagallier (OECD-Paris), Prof Luis Aragon (UNESCO Chair on South-South Cooperation on Sustainable Development), Clayton Lino (President of the National Council of RBMA-Brazil Forest), Andres Wijkman (Vice President - Club of Rome), Eva Aroutunian (Conservatoire de musique de Geneve), MsViola Crebs (IVC) •Jean-Marie Curti (chef d'orchestre). The last working group will deal with energy. Introduced by a film on solar energy, produced by Bertrand Picard, discussions will centre on the impact of alternative energy choices on greenhouse gas emissions and hence on climate change. Participants are expected to discuss the beneficiary impact of solar and other renewable energy options. What role can music play to convey information and provide education in this regard? How can the critical role of energy choices be highlighted through musical creativity, compositions and shows? Recommendations identified by this workshop will be submitted to the plenary session. Speakers: Adama Samassekou (Président de la session), Mme Manjit Dosanjh (Life Sciences), Jasper Kirkby (CERN – nuages), Thomas Cullane (Scientifique, Explorateur du National Geographic), Hugo Spowers (Inventeur-“Riversimple” Hydrogen car), Hugues Reiner (Chef d’Orchestre), Matthieu Chenal (Journaliste, 24 heures). The International Forum will conclude with a plenary session at which the results of the working groups will be presented and consolidated into a Statement by the Forum, which could be addressed to Governments, international organizations, cultural organizations, NGOs and civil society actors, academia and scientific institutions, the media and other stakeholders. 20h (***) Concert multiculturel- Musique pour une planète Verte Orchestre philharmonique de Prague Chef d’orchestre: Maestro Constantine Orbelian Elizabeth Vidal (Soprano) Wolfgang David (Violon) Guo Gan (Erhu) New York Virtuoisi Quartet with Liu Fang (Pipa) Traditional Ensemble (Shyamal Maitra, Jason Carter, Mucahi Isik, Fawzi Al Langawi, Philip Botta) Victoria Hall, Genève .

  • Pipa Virtuoso Fang Leads WSO Back to Classics
    Print Story - canada.com network Page 1 of 2 Saturday » February 16 » 2008 Pipa virtuoso Fang leads WSO back to classics Ted Shaw The Windsor Star Sunday, February 10, 2008 It was back to the classics Saturday for the Windsor Symphony Orchestra, but the spirit of the recent Windsor Canadian Music Festival lingered in a contemporary Chinese work. WCMF unveils new Canadian compositions with often unconventional or experimental instrumentation. While Tan Dun's Concerto for String Orchestra and Pipa is not Canadian, it was performed by Montreal-based pipa virtuoso, Liu Fang, and called upon the string players to beat the tops of their instruments at times and shout Chinese words. It was particularly striking in the context of the rest of the program of works written before the first decade of the 19th century. CREDIT: Scott Webster, The Windsor Star Pipa player Liu Fang performs with the Windsor Chinese-born Tan Dun is the Grammy and Oscar-winning Symphony Orchestra Saturday night. composer of such film soundtracks as Hero and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. His use of traditional Chinese instruments in the context of Western musical idioms has earned him a special place among the new generation of composers living in the United States. His pipa concerto is classically structured and borrows liberally from the concerto tradition, including having a cadenza. But the instrument itself is decidedly exotic in sound. Pear-shaped like a lute but lacking a sound hole, the pipa has a percussive quality and is plucked with plectrums, although there is a considerable amount of chord work and strumming involved, as well.

    Ethnotempos • Musiques Ethniques d’Aujourd’hui A l'écoute des notes que fait résonner Liu FANG sur son luth « pipa » ou sa cithare « guzheng », 2000 à 30000 ans d'histoire musicale de Chine vibrent de toute leur puissance évocatrice d'impressions et de paysages. Qu'elle fasse fleurir sur ses cordes maints couleurs naturalistes, qu'elle dépeigne des instants de fracas sonore épiques ou qu'elle esquisse de subtils pas recueillis vers le silence, Liu FANG fait état d'un talent énorme qui participe autant du respect de la tradition que du désir d'exploration. A neuf ans, cette jeune musicienne chinoise donnait son premier concert, et son talent s'est depuis répandu en Occident. Reconnue comme ambassadrice de la musique chinoise au Canada depuis une dizaine d'années, Liu FANG est en passe de faire de même en Europe depuis qu'elle a signé sur le label français Accords Croisés, qui a publié son disque dans lequel elle revisite des pièces maîtresses du répertoire traditionnel chinois tout en s'aventurant sur de nouveaux chemins de rencontres sans se départir de celui de sa tradition d'origine. Les publics des Suds à Arles, des Escales de Saint-Nazaire, du Théâtre de la Ville et des Quartiers d'été de Paris ont en 2006 eu l'occasion de découvrir Liu FANG et de partager ainsi l'expérience unique de son précieux univers sonore. ETHNOTEMPOS vous propose d'en tracer les contours et d'en parcourir les lignes de fond en compagnie de la principale intéressée. Née à Kunming, dans le Yunnan – province du Sud-Ouest de la Chine qui s'étend du plateau tibétain aux frontières du Vietnam, du Laos et de Myanmar (Birmanie) – Liu FANG, issue du peuple Bai, a très tôt été exposée à la musique, et plus particulièrement au chant traditionnel.

  • Preservation and Reconstruction of Folk Heritage Buildings in Yunnan Province, Prc
    CONSTRUCTING PLACE: PRESERVATION AND RECONSTRUCTION OF FOLK HERITAGE BUILDINGS IN YUNNAN PROVINCE, PRC. MARIA ULRIKA LOFBLAD Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds School of Modern Languages and Cultures (East Asia) March,2012 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. o Abstract This thesis is about preservation of traditional architecture and historical village environments in Yunnan Province, PRC. It asks the question why there has been a surge of interest in preserving and reconstructing historical structures in the reform­ era, particularly since the late 1990s. Answering this question involves looking at national-level discourse on cultural heritage, including legislation and ideological reasons for interest in preservation. It argues that state interest in tourism is the main factor motivating preservation, but this interest is also linked to ideology, mainly state ideology on patriotism, cultural inclusion, and creating an image of the PRC as a cultural entity where ethnic, cultural, and religious differences are allowed, but only as long as these differences are played out within the parameters set up by the state, and align themselves with the aspirations of the reform-era state, mainly economic development. Hence heritage preservation in Yunnan, a poor province of ethnic multitude, needs to be placed within the context of state and provincial interest in tourism, as a way of re-asserting local identity in the reform-era.
