PDT Resonance Series: Episode 1 Featuring Guest Artist Colleen Quen and Debussy’s Danse sacrée et Danse profane Thursday, May 27 at 12:00 P.m. PDT Resonance Series: Episode 2 Featuring Guest Artists Antoine Hunter and Urban Jazz Dance ComPany and Missy Mazzoli’s Death Valley Junction Thursday, June 3 at 12:00 P.m. PDT San Francisco, CA – Tuesday, April 20, 2021 – New Century Chamber Orchestra announced today programming for its Virtual Spring 2021 season. Performing together as an orchestra together with Daniel Hope for the first time in over a year, New Century will release the world premiere of Tan Dun’s Double Concerto for Violin, Piano and String Orchestra starting on Thursday, May 20 at 12:00 P.m., in a streaming concert film presented by Stanford Live. Guest pianist Alexey Botvinov returns for his second appearance with the orchestra in a program that also features Ernest Bloch’s Concerto Grosso No. 1 and Aaron Jay Kernis’s Elegy (for those we lost). The spring season continues with the release of two free episodes from New Century’s new Resonance Series, a film project that explores an artist’s real-world context as they create a piece inspired by a New Century performance. The first episode will be released on Thursday, May 27 at 12:00 P.m. and highlights San Francisco couturière Colleen Quen alongside a performance of Debussy’s Danse sacrée et Danse profane for harp and strings. The second episode will be released on Thursday, June 3 at 12:00 P.m. and brings together choreographer and Deaf advocate Antoine Hunter, also known as Purple Fire Crow, and his Urban Jazz Dance Company for a presentation inspired by Missy Mazzoli’s Death Valley Junction for string quartet. “This is a landmark occasion for New Century as we happily return to the stage as an orchestra for the first time in over a year,” said Music Director Daniel Hope. “I am thrilled to welcome my good friend, the brilliant Ukrainian pianist Alexey Botvinov for a specially commissioned world premiere: The Concerto for Violin, Piano and String Orchestra by Tan Dun, one of the most important composers of today. Together we shall record at Stanford Live’s magnificent Bing Concert Hall for audiences across the Bay Area to enjoy from their own homes. I’m also particularly excited to share the first episodes of our Resonance series, which will highlight the adventurous and collaborative spirit of our marvelous New Century musicians.” New Century’s spring season opens with New Century: Reunited on Thursday, May 20 at 12:00 p.m., presented by Stanford Live. This filmed presentation, recorded in April 2021 at Bing Concert Hall, will mark the first time the orchestra has appeared together since its Beethoven festival performances at the Presidio Theatre in January 2020. Co- commissioned by New Century and Odessa Classics Festival, the Double Concerto for Violin, Piano and String Orchestra by Academy Award-winning composer Tan Dun will receive its world premiere, featuring Music Director Daniel Hope and pianist Alexey Botvinov as soloists. Botvinov last appeared as guest artist for the orchestra’s highly successful 2019 European summer tour of Germany and Poland, and his return appearance will also include Bloch’s Concerto Grosso No. 1 for strings and piano obbligato. Botvinov is the founder and President of Ukraine’s Odessa Classics Festival and collaborates frequently with Daniel Hope, most recently on the February 2021 Deutsche Grammophon release Schnittke—Works for Violin and Piano, praised by Grammophon Magazine for its “elegant delicacy.” The program opens with Aaron Jay Kernis’s newly composed Elegy (for those we lost), which New Century will dedicate to those who have suffered and died in the past year from both from the pandemic and from racial violence and hatred. The spring season continues with the debut of New Century’s new Resonance Series, a musical film series that explores how the lived experiences of Bay Area artists from different disciplines inform their creative practices. Each episode will feature New Century musicians performing a chamber work to inspire a new creation by the featured artist. These episodes will be co-directed by filmmakers Sean Johnson and Joe Mayo. The debut episode of the Resonance Series will be released on Thursday, May 27 at 12:00 p.m. and follows internationally renowned couturière Colleen Quen on the journey of designing and creating a mixed media sculpture inspired by a performance of Debussy’s Danse sacrée et Danse profane for harp and strings. Ms. Quen has combined art and design through the context of fashion for more than two decades, with a particular focus on the beauty of nature. Her designs have been worn by luminaries and celebrities all over the world garnering appearances in Flair, Vogue and America’s Next Top Model Guest Designer/Fashion Show, as well as being recognized as a Label of Quality and Excellence by the Federation Francaise de la Creation Couture Sur Mesure in Paris. The second episode will be released on Thursday, June 3 at 12:00 P.m., featuring award-winning choreographer and Deaf advocate Antoine Hunter, also known as Purple Fire Crow, and his own Urban Jazz Dance Company, who will create a work of choreography inspired by Missy Mazzoli’s Death Valley Junction for string quartet. Hunter’s work has been performed across the globe, and he has lectured across the US, including at the Kennedy Center’s VSA, Harvard, Duke, and the National Assembly of State Arts. As a Deaf advocate, Antoine Hunter creates opportunities for Disable, Deaf and hearing artists as well as Deaf-friendly events including founding the Urban Jazz Dance Company, an ensemble of professional Deaf and Hearing dancers. This episode will be accessible to the Deaf community through the use of American Sign Language, closed captioning, and other structural adaptations, serving the goal of inclusivity for all audiences. “I am thrilled to bring Daniel Hope and our musicians together at last, to premiere innovative new music alongside masterworks from the chamber orchestra repertoire and to collaborate with remarkable guest artists from both near and far. I am especially grateful to our partners at Stanford Live for making our Reunited project possible,” said New Century Executive Director Richard Lonsdorf. “The medium of film has really allowed us to experiment with our musical storytelling and we are all very excited to showcase New Century in a new light.” CALENDAR EDITORS, PLEASE NOTE: New Century Chamber Orchestra Virtual SPring Season 2021 New Century: Reunited Available from Thursday, May 20, 2021 at 12:00 p.m. PDT Virtual Presentation via ncco.org Daniel Hope, Music Director & Concertmaster Alexey Botvinov, piano Aaron Jay Kernis: Elegy (to those we lost) Ernest Bloch: Concerto Grosso No. 1 Alexey Botvinov, piano Tan Dun: Double Concerto for Violin, Piano and String Orchestra (world premiere) Daniel Hope, violin Alexey Botvinov, piano Commissioned by New Century Chamber Orchestra and Odessa Classics Festival Single tickets are offered with flexible pricing ranging from $10 to $40 and can be purchased through City Box Office via http://www.cityboxoffice.com and (415) 392-4400.

Musical decisions are made collaboratively, resulting in an enhanced level of commitment from the musicians and concerts of remarkable precision, passion, and power. The internationally acclaimed British violinist and Deutsche Grammophon recording artist Daniel Hope has been the ensemble’s Music Director since 2018. Previous music directors of the ensemble include Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg (2008-2017), Krista Bennion Feeney (1999-2006) and Stuart Canin (1992-1999). Beyond regular season concerts in the San Francisco Bay Area, New Century has toured nationally including 2011 performances in the Midwest, East Coast, and Southern California and a 2013 eight-state national tour. In June 2019, the orchestra embarked on its first European Tour, the largest and most ambitious artistic undertaking in the organization’s history, with appearances across Germany and Poland including the acclaimed Leonard Bernstein-founded Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival and Philharmonie Essen.

WILLIAM BOYCE (1711-1779) By the time his symphonies were published (1760), Dr. William Boyce had attained a position of eminence and honor among English musicians. He held the post of Composer to the Royal Chapel, and he was also one of the Chapel's organists. Receiving his doctorate in music at Cambridge, he then took office as Master of the King's Music (1755-1759). His reverence for the old masters of English church music, which was encouraged by his teacher Maurice Greene, resulted in his completing Greene's projected collection of English Cathedral Music, the first volume of which was published in 1760. Vocal music was considered by most composers to be of paramount importance "the finest instrumental music" being regarded as "an imitation of the vocal." It is not therefore surprising that some instrumental forms originated as introductions and adornments to vocal works.

  • 'Dream Job: Next Exit?'
    Understanding Bach, 9, 9–24 © Bach Network UK 2014 ‘Dream Job: Next Exit?’: A Comparative Examination of Selected Career Choices by J. S. Bach and J. F. Fasch BARBARA M. REUL Much has been written about J. S. Bach’s climb up the career ladder from church musician and Kapellmeister in Thuringia to securing the prestigious Thomaskantorat in Leipzig.1 Why was the latter position so attractive to Bach and ‘with him the highest-ranking German Kapellmeister of his generation (Telemann and Graupner)’? After all, had their application been successful ‘these directors of famous court orchestras [would have been required to] end their working relationships with professional musicians [take up employment] at a civic school for boys and [wear] “a dusty Cantor frock”’, as Michael Maul noted recently.2 There was another important German-born contemporary of J. S. Bach, who had made the town’s shortlist in July 1722—Johann Friedrich Fasch (1688–1758). Like Georg Philipp Telemann (1681–1767), civic music director of Hamburg, and Christoph Graupner (1683–1760), Kapellmeister at the court of Hessen-Darmstadt, Fasch eventually withdrew his application, in favour of continuing as the newly- appointed Kapellmeister of Anhalt-Zerbst. In contrast, Bach, who was based in nearby Anhalt-Köthen, had apparently shown no interest in this particular vacancy across the river Elbe. In this article I will assess the two composers’ positions at three points in their professional careers: in 1710, when Fasch left Leipzig and went in search of a career, while Bach settled down in Weimar; in 1722, when the position of Thomaskantor became vacant, and both Fasch and Bach were potential candidates to replace Johann Kuhnau; and in 1730, when they were forced to re-evaluate their respective long-term career choices.

  • 04.09.2020 Wild at Heart. Romanticism in Switzerland
    Media release Zurich, 4 September 2020 Wild at Heart. Romanticism in Switzerland From 13 November 2020 to 14 February 2021 the Kunsthaus will be turning the spotlight on Romanticism, with an exhibition of over 150 works spanning the arc from Henry Fuseli to Alexandre Calame and the early Arnold Böcklin. It reveals the considerable contribution made by Swiss artists to the development of European landscape painting, follows them to academies abroad, and explores the close ties between them. The overview will also extend to famous Romantics from other countries such as Caspar David Friedrich, Eugène Delacroix and J.M.W. Turner, thus adding an international perspective to the appreciation of Swiss Romanticism. In the late 18th century, Romanticism spread across Europe. Artists began creating works that focused on feelings and the fascination of the unfathomable, in contrast to the sober, rational art of Neoclassicism. The Swiss discovered the visual potential of their own landscapes, committing the majestic Alpine environment and the eternal ice of the glaciers to canvas. Curator Jonas Beyer draws our attention to a key era of Swiss art history that until now has only been explored through myriad individual aspects. A MOOD OF CHANGE THAT CROSSES BOUNDARIES The focus on a typically Swiss variant of Romanticism offers a deeper insight into the interrelationship between specifically local character and international connections. The particular mood of change that characterizes Swiss art of this period finds its most tangible expression in the intensive exchanges with artists in neighbouring countries. Swiss artists flocked to the academies in Paris, Dresden and Vienna, building highly effective networks but also responding with an artistic sensibility to the local characteristics of their study environment.
