  • Canada's National Arts Centre Orchestra Has Commissioned a New
    Canada’s National Arts Centre Orchestra has commissioned a new orchestral work, Earworms, from internationally renowned, JUNO Award-winning composer Vivian Fung. Earworms receives its world premiere performances by the National Arts Centre Orchestra under the baton of Music Director Alexander Shelley on Thursday, March 22 and Friday, March 23, 2018 at 8:00PM at National Arts Centre’s Southam Hall. The program also features Brahms’ Symphony No. 2, and Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with Russian-born Israeli pianist Boris Giltburg. On Saturday, March 24, 2018 at 8:00PM, the program travels to Toronto’s Roy Thomson Hall, presented by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. Of her new piece, Vivian Fung explains, “Earworms" is a feisty and whimsical orchestral piece that provides a commentary on the world we live in today – it musically depicts our diverted attention spans, our constant barrage of music and other media, and our multi-tasking lives. Since having my son almost three years ago, I have found my life to be more complicated and chaotic, but also all the richer and more meaningful. I find myself at the end of the day humming tunes that have gotten into my head and that I cannot seem to escape no matter how hard I try – hence the title Earworms.” Earworms features snippets of some of the best, most insistent, and most annoying of these tunes and combines them into a playful and quirky arrangement. These include phrases of Ravel’s La Valse and Fung’s son’s favorite, “Wheels on the Bus,” to which he has listened every day ad nauseam for the past six months.

Concerts 13 Feature: Exploring New Worlds 5 Management Committee 2017-2018 16 OF NOTE: PORTRAIT OF A YOUNG COMPOSER VIVIAN FUNG Submitted by Peter H. Solomon, Jr. Toronto Vivian Fung (née 1975) 1 One of the most exciting young Canadian composers—composing mainly in the 21st century and active now—is Edmonton native Vivian Fung. Her first violin concerto (one of two so far) won a Juno award in 2013 for best classical composition of the year and helped to catapult her career. Typical of her music, this piece draws on the influence of non-Western folk music and Brazilian rhythms, but is also wholly original and captivating in its musical ideas. It combines unusual textures (including splendid use of harmonics) with a vital pulse produced by rhythms alternately syncopated and compound. The violin concerto and two of her other early pieces (a piano concerto called “Dreamscapes”, and the popular “Glimpses” for prepared piano) were recorded and widely distributed on a Naxos CD. Ms. Fung first studied composition with Canadian composer Violet Archer (herself a former student of Bartok and Hindemith), but then moved on to Juilliard School in New York, where she did both undergraduate and graduate studies and later became a faculty member. Her composition teachers at Juilliard included American composers David Diamond and Robert Beaser. But she has maintained strong Canadian connections, including with some recent compositions.

  • Invigorating the American Orchestral Tradition Through New Music
    FEARLESS PROGRAMMING: INVIGORATING THE AMERICAN ORCHESTRAL TRADITION THROUGH NEW MUSIC Octavio Más-Arocas A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS August 2016 Committee: Emily Freeman Brown, Advisor Timothy F. Messer-Kruse Graduate Faculty Representative Marilyn Shrude Kenneth Thompson © 2016 Octavio Más-Arocas All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Emily Freeman Brown, Advisor Despite great efforts by American composers, their prodigious musical output has been mostly ignored by American orchestras. Works by living American composers account for an annual average of only 6% of all the music performed by American orchestras, while works by living composers of all nationalities combined totals a meager 11%. This study examines some of the historical breaking points in the relationship between American orchestras and new music. Five exceptional orchestras are cited, the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Atlanta Symphony, and the Seattle Symphony, that are thriving while successfully incorporating new music in their programing. This document draws attention to the significant role new music can play in the future of American orchestras by analyzing the programing of new music and projects that support composers, identifying innovative orchestral leaders and composers who have successfully served in advisory positions, and by recognizing and discussing the many creative strategies orchestras are using today. This document attempts to increase the understanding of the need for change in concert programing while highlighting several thrilling examples of innovative strategies that are making an essential contribution to the future of orchestral music.

    EMBARGO UNTIL TUESDAY MARCH 3, 2015 3:00 PM Vancouver, Canada. The Vancouver Biennale brings together JUNO® Award-winning Canadian composer Vivian Fung and the GRAMMY® and JUNO® Award-winning Vancouver Symphony Orchestra for the world premiere performance of a commissioned work inspired by the Vancouver Biennale exhibition. The performance will be part of the VSO’s 2015-2016 season opening concert, and will launch live music as part of the Biennale program, further fulfilling on its vision to celebrate the full spectrum of Contemporary arts in one integrated exhibition. “Apropos of the Biennale itself and our curatorial theme Open Borders Crossroads Vancouver, Vivian is known for crossing traditional boundaries and exploring a diversity of cultures in her music”, says President and Artistic Director Barrie Mowatt. “She has created an exhilarating sound portrait of our exhibition, brilliantly interpreting several of our public artworks into music”. Five distinct artworks by renowned Contemporary artists from China, Brazil, India and Australia featured in the current Biennale exhibition, including “F Grass” by Ai Weiwei and “Giants” by OSGEMEOS, are the inspiration for the multi-movement work. The result is a wonderfully textured musical celebration of the Vancouver Biennale by one of Canada’s “must hear” Contemporary composers. The Biennale is equally excited to be partnering for the first time with the VSO under the leadership of Maestro Bramwell Tovey. The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra performs the world premiere as part of its GOLDCORP Masterworks Gold series opening concert on Saturday September 26th. Tickets are available online through the VSO at www.vancouversymphony.ca, or by calling VSO Customer Service at 604-876-3434.
