Christ Church, Bradenton, FL South Miami Senior High School, Miami, FL March 12, 2016 March 7-8, 2016 2 Performer Biographies Steven Rickards, countertenor, is the founder of Echoing Air. He has received international acclaim as one of America’s finest countertenors. Performing credits include Joshua Rifkin’s Bach Ensemble, the American Bach Soloists, Paul Hillier’s Theatre of Voices, Chanticleer, the Gabrieli Consort, Chicago’s Music of the Baroque, Handel and Haydn Society, the New London Consort, the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Seattle Baroque Orchestra, the Opera Company of Philadelphia, the Santa Fe Opera, and numerous domestic and international symphony orchestras. He was a winner of the countertenor prize from the Oratorio Society of New York and the ‘s-Hertogenbosch International Vocal competitions. Rickards was vocal soloist in the American premiere of Michael Nyman’s Self-Laudatory Hymn of Inanna and Her Omnipotence at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall and was featured in the premiere of John Adams’s oratorio El Niño at the Châtelet Opera in Paris. He has since performed El Niño with the Adelaide Symphony, the BBC Philharmonic, the Deutsches Symphonie Orchester, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony, the Tokyo Symphony, and the Malmo Opera (Sweden). He has recorded for Chanticleer, Decca, Dorian, Four Winds, Gothic, Harmonia Mundi, Koch, Newport Classics, Smithsonian, and Teldec. Rickards can also be heard on the Naxos label where, with lutenist Dorothy Linell, he recorded two solo albums of the songs of John Dowland and Thomas Campion. Rickards received his BME and MM from Indiana University, where he now serves on the faculty of the Historical Performance Institute at the Jacobs School of Music. With a Fulbright and Rotary Grant, he studied at the Guildhall School of Music in London. He received his doctorate from Florida State University. His compendium Twentieth-Century Countertenor Repertoire is an invaluable tool for aspiring young singers as well as teachers. He currently lives in Indianapolis where he teaches singing at Indiana University’s Historical Performance Institute, Butler University, Marian University, and the University of Indianapolis. Christine Kyprianides was for many years a leading Baroque cellist and gambist in Germany, performing internationally with Huelgas Ensemble, Musica Antiqua Köln, Das Kleine Konzert, Diapente Consort, Collegium Carthusianum, Accademia Filarmonica Köln, Les Arts Florissants, Ganassi-Consort, Les Adieux, and the La Roche and Finchcocks String Quartets. Kyprianides has also been a long-time collaborator of fortepianist Richard Burnett in England. Her recording credits include over 70 albums for Deutsche Grammophon, EMI, Sony, Harmonia Mundi, RCA, Capriccio, Virgin Classics, Globe, and other labels as well as radio and television productions for the major German radios, Deutsche Welle, Radio Netherlands, Radio France, and many more. Kyprianides holds degrees in performance from the Peabody and New England Conservatories and the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, and was awarded the Gregor Piatigorsky Cello Prize at Tanglewood. More recently, she received the Doctor of Music degree from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, where she teaches Baroque cello. She has also held faculty positions at the Lemmens Institute (University of Louvain), the Musikhochschule of Cologne, and the Dresden Academy of Early Music and has given seminars in historical performance practice at the Catholic University of Santiago de Chile, the Conservatory of Music in Buenos Aires, the Conservatory of Church Music in Halle/Saale, the Early Music Summer Seminar in Wallonia, and elsewhere. Kyprianides is a member of the Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra and Ensemble Voltaire. She continues to perform in Europe and is active as a scholar. Her research interests as a musicologist include the social and cultural history of music, particularly that of Victorian Britain. 3 Thomas Gerber is a founding member of–and harpsichordist in–two period instruments Baroque groups: the Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra, Barthold Kuijken, artistic director; and the chamber music group Ensemble Voltaire. Both organizations present annual concert series. The Baroque Orchestra plays throughout Indiana, and Ensemble Voltaire has toured the United States and Canada since 1988. Mr. Gerber is assistant professor of music and humanities at Marian University, Indianapolis, and also serves on the faculties of the University of Indianapolis, where he teaches music history and coaches the student Baroque ensemble, and Butler University, where he teaches harpsichord. Gerber is harpsichordist of the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra (for "Messiah" performances), the Ann Arbor-based 17th-century-music chamber quintet Anaphantasia, the liturgical early music ensemble Musik Ekklesia, and the chamber group Echoing Air. He has appeared at the Early Music Festival of St. Louis and the Bloomington Early Music Festival, as well as with other period-instrument early-music groups, such as Catacoustic Consort, the Callipygian Players, Pills to Purge Melancholy, Ars Antigua Chicago, and Haydn-by-the-Lake. He can be heard on the Dorian, Concordia, Indie Barock, and Catalpa Classics labels. After receiving music degrees from Hillsdale College and Ball State University, Gerber went on to earn a Master of Music degree in harpsichord from Indiana University. His harpsichord teachers have included Fernando Valenti, Anthony Newman, and Elisabeth Wright. Countertenor Nathan Medley has emerged in recent years as one of the leading younger-generation countertenors, with notable success internationally in concert and opera. Since graduating from Oberlin Conservatory, he has sung at some of the major stages of the world including the English National Opera and Barbican Centre in London, La Salle Pleyel in Paris, Palais de Musique in Strasbourg, Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, Avery Fisher Hall in New York, and Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. Recent performances have brought him to the Boston Early Music Festival (Ottone in Monteverdi’s L'incoronazione di Poppea), the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Chicago's Ravinia Festival, Lucerne Festival, Opera Omaha, Pacific MusicWorks, Mercury Baroque, Seraphic Fire, Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra, Cincinnati Collegium, Miami Bach Society, and Dayton Bach Society. Medley made his professional debut in 2012 in John Adams’ The Gospel According to the other Mary with the Los Angeles Philharmonic conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, which was recorded for Deutsche Grammophon. He returned to Los Angeles in 2013 for Peter Sellars’ staging of the same work, which then toured to Switzerland and New York City. Under the baton of John Adams in 2015, he performed Olga Neuwirth’s staged song/play, Hommage á Klaus Nomi. He made his English National Opera debut in 2014 in Adams’ The Gospel According to the other Mary, also staged by Peter Sellars. Other opera credits include Ottone in Handel’s Agrippina (Opera Omaha), Speranza in Monteverdi’s Orfeo (Boston Early Music Festival), Athamus in Semele (Pacific MusicWorks, Seattle), Oberon in Britten’s A Midsummer Night's Dream, Dema in Cavalli's L'Egisto, Le Peinture in Charpentier's Les Arts Florissants, Acteon in Charpentier's Acteon, and Ottone in Monteverdi's L'incoronazione di Poppea, where critics in Cleveland praised him for an interpretation "sung with baroque perfection.” In May 2016 he premieres a new piece by John Harbison for countertenor and gamba consort in Chicago with Second City Musick. The 2016-17 season brings debuts with the San Francisco Symphony, St. Louis Symphony (in St. Louis and at Carnegie Hall), London Symphony Orchestra, and return appearance with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic, and in 2017-18, his debut with the New York Philharmonic. 4 Jeffrey Collier received his Bachelor of Arts degree in music from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, where he performed with the Emory Early Music Consort. He is a founding member of Echoing Air and has performed on baroque flute and recorder with the Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra and Ensemble Voltaire. He studied baroque flute with Barbara Kallaur and has participated in many intensive workshops and masterclasses with such artists as Christopher Krueger, Michael Lynn, Eva Legene, Janet See, and Stephen Preston. Collier has performed with ensembles throughout the Midwest and Southern United States, including the Tallahassee

  • 1998 Spring Programme

    1998 Spring Programme

    Symphony No.40 in G minor K.550 It is unclear exactly why Mozart wrote his final three symphonies (numbers 39, 40 and 41), but they were completed within the space of six weeks during June, July and August of 1788. This was some two years after he had written the "Prague" symphony (number 38), and it may be that he regarded these three works as his last fling at the genre. The G minor symphony is different in mood to its two symphonic neighbours. There is a passionate quality to this work that is far removed from the joie de vivre of number 39, for example. It is its restlessness, though, which strikes the listener from the outset during an unusually quiet opening. The second movement has a rare intensity of expression, and even the rhythmically based last movement has a serious nature to it. I hope you feel that it makes a fitting prelude to the C minor Mass. Mass in C minor K.427 Mozart promised to write a mass in celebration of his marriage to Constanze Weber on August 4th 1782. The idea was to perform the work in Salzburg when the newly weds visited Mozart's father and sister. This indeed happened and the work, which consisted of only four movements (Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus and Benedictus), was first performed in St. Peter's, Salzburg on October 26th 1783. Mozart never completed the mass, although he had drafted two sections of the Credo, and you will hear a completion of these tonight along with Mozart's four completed movements.

    Decca Discography

    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>4 GREAT BRITAIN: digital, 1979-2008 In the early 1970s the advent of Anthony Rooley, the Consort of Musicke, Emma Kirkby, Christopher Hogwood and the Academy of Ancient Music brought a fresh look at repertoire from Dowland to Purcell, Handel, Mozart and eventually Beethoven. Solti recorded with the LPO from 1972 and the National Philharmonic was booked regularly from 1974-84. Also during the 1970s the London Sinfonietta’s surveys of Schönberg and Janá ček were recorded. Ashkenazy’s second career as a conductor centred initially on London, with the Philharmonia from 1977 and the RPO from 1987. Philip Pickett’s New London Consort joined the Florilegium roster in 1985 and Argo’s new look brought in a variety of ensembles in the 1990s. But after an LPO Vaughan Williams cycle was aborted in 1997, Decca’s own UK recordings comprised little more than piano music and recital discs. Outside London, Argo recorded regularly in Cambridge and Oxford. Decca engaged the Welsh National Opera from 1980-96 and the Bournemouth Symphony from 1990-96, but otherwise made little use of regional British orchestras. By the time they raised their performing standards to an acceptable level, Chandos, Hyperion and Naxos had largely replaced the old majors in the market for orchestral sessions. >RV0 VENUES One hundred and seventy different venues were used, eighty-eight in the London area and eighty-two elsewhere in Britain, but only one in ten (those in bold ) hosted thirty or more entries, whilst seventy were only visited once. LONDON AREA ABBEY ROAD STUDIOS , St.John’s Wood, London NW8 (1931), initially restricted to EMI labels, were opened to all from 1968.

Early Music Reimagined For Clarinet Consorts. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2015. Early music for instrumental consorts dates back to the 16th century. Clarinet choirs have existed only since the last decade of the 19th century. About three hundred years worth of consort music remains untouched by clarinetists. As a result, these arrangements are severely underrepresented in the clarinet choir repertoire. This project reimagines six pieces of early music, placing the clarinet backwards in time when it was a nonexistent instrument. Mainly focusing on genres from the Renaissance and Baroque, this document addresses performance practice issues for the performing clarinet consort. The selections span a variety of early genres from antiphonal choir, galliard, bransle, trio sonata, passacaille, and symphony. Discussion of performance practice is tailored specifically for each piece including instrumentation, dynamics, articulation, and ornamentation. Historical context about the composer and their composition is also included in the project.
