Johnsonk@Nyphil.Org the MARIE-JOSÉE KRAVI FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 22, 2018 Contact: Katherine E. Johnson (212) 875-5700; [email protected] THE MARIE-JOSÉE KRAVIS COMPOSER-IN-RESIDENCE ESA-PEKKA SALONEN TO CONDUCT NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC WORLD PREMIERE–NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC COMMISSION of Kravis Emerging Composer ANNA THORVALDSDOTTIR’s Metacosmos BEETHOVEN’s Piano Concerto No. 3 with BENJAMIN GROSVENOR, Inaugural Recipient of the Ronnie and Lawrence Ackman Classical Piano Prize BEETHOVEN’s Symphony No. 3, Eroica April 4–6, 2018 Saturday Matinee Concert To Feature Esa-Pekka SALONEN’s Catch and Release Followed by Music by VERY YOUNG COMPOSERS from the Middle East, South America, and New York City Performed by Philharmonic Musicians April 7, 2018 Benjamin Grosvenor To Perform Chamber Music with Philharmonic Musicians at 92nd Street Y April 10, 2018 The Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence Esa-Pekka Salonen will conduct a program featuring an emerging composer and soloist, both of whom the Philharmonic has championed: the World Premiere of Kravis Emerging Composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir’s Metacosmos, commissioned by the Philharmonic; Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3, Eroica; and Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3, featuring Benjamin Grosvenor, inaugural recipient of the Ronnie and Lawrence Ackman Classical Piano Prize at the New York Philharmonic, in his Philharmonic subscription debut. The performances take place Wednesday, April 4, 2018, at 7:30 p.m.; Thursday, April 5 at 7:30 p.m.; and Friday, April 6 at 8:00 p.m. Anna Thorvaldsdottir says that her Metacosmos is “constructed around the natural balance between beauty and chaos — how elements can come together in (seemingly) utter chaos to create a unified, structured whole.” The Philharmonic commissioned Ms. Thorvaldsdottir to compose Metacosmos in 2015, when she was named the Philharmonic’s Kravis Emerging Composer, an honor bestowed on an up-and-coming composer as part of The Marie-Josée Kravis Prize for New Music. The Marie-Josée Kravis Prize for New Music and the positions of Kravis Emerging Composer and The Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence are funded by a $10 million gift given to the Philharmonic in 2009 by Henry R. Kravis in honor of his wife, Marie-Josée. The New York Philharmonic nominated Ms. Thorvaldsdottir for the Martin E. Segal Award, part of the Lincoln Center Awards for Emerging Artists, to be presented in March 2018. (more) Esa-Pekka Salonen / Benjamin Grosvenor / 2 Benjamin Grosvenor was named the inaugural recipient of the Ronnie and Lawrence Ackman Classical Piano Prize at the New York Philharmonic, awarded to an up-and-coming pianist or piano duo poised to become exceptional figures in the piano world. Prize winners — selected by a confidential panel comprising prominent pianists, New York Philharmonic leadership, and other recognized musical figures — receive $30,000 and will perform with the New York Philharmonic, play chamber music with Philharmonic musicians, and serve as classical music ambassadors, taking part in community engagement and education initiatives around New York City. He will perform chamber music with Philharmonic musicians at 92nd Street Y (see below) and meet with middle-school students in the Composer’s Bridge program — part of the Philharmonic’s Very Young Composers program — to workshop and perform their piano works. Esa-Pekka Salonen — the composer-conductor who displays “a kind of complete musicianship rarely encountered today” (The Boston Globe) — is in his third and final season as The Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence. He will conclude his tenure in June 2018 conducting and hosting Foreign Bodies, a one-night-only multidisciplinary event that includes his work of the same name, accompanied by the World Premiere of a live video installation by Tal Rosner, and Obsidian Tear, a dance work choreographed by Wayne McGregor and set to Mr. Salonen’s Nyx and Lachen verlernt. Highlights of Esa-Pekka Salonen’s residency include the New York Premiere of his Gambit (2017); the New York and European Premieres of his Cello Concerto with Yo-Yo Ma (2017); the CONTACT! concerts “Salonen’s Floof and Other Delights” (2016) and “The Messiaen Connection” (2016); and his conducting Messiaen’s Turangalîla-symphonie, as part of Messiaen Week (2016), and Circle Map, a program celebrating Kaija Saariaho presented by Park Avenue Armory (2016). The Saturday Matinee Concert on April 7 at 2:00 p.m. opens with Esa-Pekka Salonen’s Catch and Release, conducted by the composer and performed by Philharmonic Assistant Concertmaster Michelle Kim, Principal Bass Timothy Cobb, Principal Clarinet Anthony McGill, Principal Bassoon Judith LeClair, Principal Trumpet Christopher Martin, Associate Principal Trombone Colin Williams, and Principal Percussion Christopher S. Lamb. The rest of the program features Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3, Eroica. The Saturday Matinee Concert on April 7 will be followed immediately by New York Philharmonic musicians performing original compositions by students in the Philharmonic’s Very Young Composers program — created by Very Young Composers Founder and Artistic Director Jon Deak — led by Assistant Conductor Joshua Gersen. Students from the Middle East and South America communicated with their counterparts in New York through Musical Postcards, in which students from different countries share stories and musical ideas. Audience members will be invited to contribute to organizations that benefit child refugees around the world: Doctors Without Borders, the International Rescue Committee in New York, and the New York Philharmonic Education Fund. The New York Philharmonic and 92nd Street Y will co-present a chamber music program featuring Benjamin Grosvenor and Philharmonic musicians — Principal Associate Concertmaster Sheryl Staples, Associate Principal Viola Rebecca Young, Associate Principal Cello Eileen Moon-Myers, and Principal Bass Timothy Cobb — performing Brahms’s Piano Quartet No. 1 and Schubert’s Piano Quintet, Trout, on April 10, 2018. (more) Esa-Pekka Salonen / Benjamin Grosvenor / 3 Related Event Philharmonic Free Fridays The New York Philharmonic is offering an allotment of free tickets to young people ages 13–26 for the concert Friday, April 6 as part of Philharmonic Free Fridays. Philharmonic Free Fridays offers a limited number of free tickets to 13–26-year-olds to many of the 2017–18 season’s Friday subscription concerts. Information on the 2017–18 season of Free Fridays is available at nyphil.org/freefridays. Artists Esa-Pekka Salonen’s restless innovation drives him constantly to reposition classical music in the 21st century. He is currently the principal conductor and artistic advisor of London’s Philharmonia Orchestra and the conductor laureate of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. This is his final of three seasons as The Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence at the New York Philharmonic and his second of five as artist-in-association at the Finnish National Opera and Ballet. Additionally, Mr. Salonen is artistic director and co-founder of the annual Baltic Sea Festival, now in its 16th year, which invites celebrated artists to promote unity and ecological awareness among the countries around the Baltic Sea. He serves as an advisor to the Sync Project, a global initiative to harness the power of music for human health. Mr. Salonen’s compositions move freely between contemporary idioms, combining intricacy and technical virtuosity with playful rhythmic and melodic innovations. The Los Angeles Philharmonic performs all of Mr. Salonen’s concertos in February 2018, with cellist Yo-Yo Ma, pianist Yefim Bronfman, and violinist Leila Josefowicz — the musicians for whom the works were written. The Violin Concerto won the prestigious Grawemeyer Award and was featured in a 2014 international Apple ad campaign for iPad. The Barbican Centre in London has a season-long focus on Mr. Salonen’s music, including the European Premiere of a new work for the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Philharmonia have experimented in groundbreaking ways to present music, with the first major virtual-reality production from a U.K. symphony orchestra; the award-winning RE-RITE and Universe of Sound installations, which have allowed people all over the world to conduct, play, and step inside the orchestra through audio and video projections; and The Orchestra, the much-hailed app for iPad that allows users unprecedented access to the internal workings of eight symphonic works. Esa-Pekka Salonen made his New York Philharmonic debut in December 1986 conducting the U.S. Premiere of Castiglioni’s Sinfonia con giardino in addition to works by Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, and Nielsen; most recently, he led the Orchestra in a New York Premiere by Stravinsky, a U.S. Premiere by Tansy Davies co-commissioned by the Philharmonic, and music by Richard Strauss in April 2017. British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor is internationally recognized for his electrifying performances and insightful interpretations. His virtuosic command over the most strenuous technical complexities underpins the remarkable depth and understanding of his musicianship, and he is renowned for his distinctive sound, making him one of the most sought-after young pianists in the world. Mr. Grosvenor first came to prominence at the age of 11 as the winner of the 2004 BBC Young Musician Competition Keyboard Final. Since then, he has performed with orchestras across the world, including the Boston Symphony Orchestra, The Cleveland Orchestra, Milan’s Filarmonica della Scala, Gürzenich Orchestra Cologne, and

  • Copyright Timothy Brennan Steeves 2020
    i Copyright Timothy Brennan Steeves 2020 i ii Abstract Concertare and Conserere: Debate and Concord in the Twenty-first Century Violin Concerto by Timothy Brennan Steeves This document concerns the ways in which the relationship between the violin and orchestra in the violin concerto has changed in the first decades of the twenty-first century. Using the concerti of Unsuk Chin (2001), Jennifer Higdon (2008), and Esa- Pekka Salonen (2009) I show that composers have challenged but not abandoned the supremacy and centrality of the violin soloist. The role of the orchestra has been expanded, being given greater aesthetic and structural responsibility. The virtuosity expected of professional orchestra musicians is exploited with these composers frequently calling on secondary soloists. Chamber music and contrapuntal textures are also employed to relegate the violinist to a first among equals. These innovations and the resultant violinistic implications represent a new path forwards in the genre of the violin concerto. These composers are, however, cognizant of both tradition and the expectations of virtuoso soloists. Strides towards equality can be made, but a true, irrevocable hierarchical leveling is not achieved. This tension, the new balance of power, and their musical ramifications are the focus of this study. iii Acknowledgments This document is the culmination of many years of study, performance, reflection, and collaboration. Innumerable teachers, colleagues, and friends have contributed to my musical and intellectual development and it is impossible to thank everyone. Nevertheless, there are a few key people who deserve special recognition. Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude for the guidance, support, expertise, and patience of my advisor Dr.
