    Music Director Riccardo Muti Appoints Jessie Montgomery As Cso Mead Composer-In-Residence for 2021-24

    For Immediate Release: Press Contacts: April 20, 2021 Eileen Chambers CSOA, 312-294-3092 Glenn Petry 21C Media, 212-625-2038 MUSIC DIRECTOR RICCARDO MUTI APPOINTS JESSIE MONTGOMERY AS CSO MEAD COMPOSER-IN-RESIDENCE FOR 2021-24 CHICAGO—The Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association (CSOA) is pleased to announce the appointment of composer, violinist and educator Jessie Montgomery as its next Mead Composer-in- Residence. A winner of both the Sphinx Medal of Excellence and the ASCAP Foundation’s Leonard Bernstein Award, Montgomery has emerged as one of the most compelling and sought-after voices in new music today. Appointed by Music Director Riccardo Muti, she will begin her three-year tenure on July 1, 2021, and will continue in the role through June 30, 2024. Described as “turbulent, wildly colorful and exploding with life” (Washington Post), Montgomery’s music includes such frequently performed works as Banner (2014), Starburst (2012) and Strum (2006; rev. 2012), which have collectively been programmed almost 500 times to date, with more than 100 live and virtual performances of Starburst in the past year alone. As Mead Composer-in-Residence, she will receive commissions to write three new orchestral works for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, one to premiere during each of her three seasons in the role. In addition, she will curate MusicNOW, the CSO’s annual contemporary music series, and will receive commissions for a number of new chamber pieces to premiere in the series’ 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons. MusicNOW will also present the Chicago premieres of some of her existing works. Founded in 1998, MusicNOW strives to bring Chicago audiences the widest possible range of today’s new music.

    The Inspiration Behind Compositions for Clarinetist Frederick Thurston

    THE INSPIRATION BEHIND COMPOSITIONS FOR CLARINETIST FREDERICK THURSTON Aileen Marie Razey, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 201 8 APPROVED: Kimberly Cole Luevano, Major Professor Warren Henry, Committee Member John Scott, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Razey, Aileen Marie. The Inspiration behind Compositions for Clarinetist Frederick Thurston. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2018, 86 pp., references, 51 titles. Frederick Thurston was a prominent British clarinet performer and teacher in the first half of the 20th century. Due to the brevity of his life and the impact of two world wars, Thurston’s legacy is often overlooked among clarinetists in the United States. Thurston’s playing inspired 19 composers to write 22 solo and chamber works for him, none of which he personally commissioned. The purpose of this document is to provide a comprehensive biography of Thurston’s career as clarinet performer and teacher with a complete bibliography of compositions written for him. With biographical knowledge and access to the few extant recordings of Thurston’s playing, clarinetists may gain a fuller understanding of Thurston’s ideal clarinet sound and musical ideas. These resources are necessary in order to recognize the qualities about his playing that inspired composers to write for him and to perform these works with the composers’ inspiration in mind. Despite the vast list of works written for and dedicated to Thurston, clarinet players in the United States are not familiar with many of these works, and available resources do not include a complete listing.

    Piano Study Centre Piano Lecture and Master Class Opportunity to All Piano Students Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Levels Date: Saturday 22nd November from 4.00pm – 6.30pm Location: In Central London near Russell Square Theme of Lecture: The Craft of Practising (Free to our students) Please send e-mail: [email protected] to register your interest Send text message or Phone: 07950 491461 Professor: Philip Fowke Pianist, Professor and Senior Fellow of Keyboard at Trinity College of Music (Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance) The Craft of Practising Philip Fowke writes: Gordon Green, my revered and much beloved teacher, used to refer to the craft of practising. This made an impression upon me, all the more vivid when he likened the pianist to a master joiner with his box of tools, sharpened, polished and oiled. As the joiner adds to his collection of tools over the years becoming accustomed to some yet discovering new ones along the way, so the pianist has to build up a box of treasured tools to facilitate the process of learning and practising. Philip Fowke discusses what we mean by “practice”, what it entails, the analysis of fingering, the avoidance of needless repetition, and strategies for overcoming technical or musical problems. The myth of legato fingering will also be addressed as will the inappropriate use of the word “tension”. Economy of movement, choreography of the keyboard and posture will also be discussed. Extra information from PSC Famous British-born pianist Stephen Hough’s piano teacher was Gordon Green. Stephen and Professor Philip studied with the same piano teacher.

He has given special concerts in the U.S. Ambassador’s residences in Yugoslavia, Greece and Turkey. The New York Times reviewed him as follows: “Phillip Evans can be ranked among our major pianists....Deepest musical insights...in a word, masterful.” He has served on the faculties of the Juilliard and the Manhattan Schools of Music, and his students have been major prize-winners in many international piano competitions, including the Tschaikovsky in Moscow, the Gina Bachauer, Leeds, the Bartok-Prokofieff-Kabalevsky and the Queen Elizabeth in Belgium. They have performed with leading orchestras throughout the world, including the New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Chicago, Houston, Minneapolis and St. Louis Symphonies. Evans’ special affinity for the music of Bela Bartok was acknowledged by the Pulitzer prize-winning critic Harold Schonberg in his book The Great Pianists: “Phillip Evans in Bartok, Roslyn Tureck in Bach.” His series of Bartok CDs received extraordinary reviews, such as the following from George Jellinek of The New York Times: “Evans played both Sonatas with searching insight, in total triumph over their technical difficulties...he plays superbly.” He has been a music critic for several major newspapers in South Florida and is a member of the faculty at Lynn University.
