CIMF 2020 Program – Giving Voice 2020 Program Update November 2019 Giving VOICE 1 – 10CANBERRA MAY 2020 INTERNATIONAL MUSIC FESTIVAL 1 – 10 MAY 2020 Giving 1 VOICE cimf.org.au “Let’s bring Beethoven’s universal message of hope, “Alle Menschen werden Brüder”, down from its pedestal and let’s shine new light on the brotherhood and sisterhood of humankind 250 years on. Let’s hear the voices less heard, the silent voices, the voices different, distant or disenfranchised. The 2020 Festival hones in on the stuff we are made of, the elements that bind us together and make us human, and above all, the music that gives them voice.” – ROLAND PEELMAN 2 Ensembles | Soloists | Young Artists INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS Van Kuijk String Quartet (France) Ned McGowan, contrabass flute (USA/NL) Sam Amidon, folk artist (USA) Reginald Mobley, countertenor (USA) Keiko Shichijo, fortepiano (NL/Japan) Sami Elu, sound artist (Japan) Jakob Lehmann, violin, conductor (DE) Shaun Shibe, guitar (UK) TBC James Ioelu, baritone (NZ) Tiffany Ng, carillon (USA) Edwin Sungpil Kim, piano (South Korea) AUSTRALIAN ARTISTS Kate Neal, Composer-in-Residence Gian Slater, voice Georgie Darvidis, voice Australian Art Orchestra Josh Kyle, voice Australian Romantic & Classical Edward Fairlie, voice Orchestra Sunny Kim, voice Tiwi Strong Women Celeste Lazarenko, soprano Ensemble Offspring Andrew Goodwin, tenor Sydney Chamber Choir Lotte Betts-Dean, mezzo-soprano Golden Gate Brass Quintet Simon Barker, drums Zeeko Christina Leonard, saxophone James Wannan, viola Eric Avery, violin and voice Veronique Serret, violin (Ngiyampaa, Yuin, Bandjalang and Blair Harris, cello Gumbangirr) Rohan Dasika, double bass Rhyan Clapham / ‘DOBBY’, rapper, James Crabb, classical accordion drummer Andrea Keller, piano (Murrawarri, Filipino-Australian) Judy Bailey, piano William Barton, didgeridoo Lisa Moore, piano (Kalkadoon) Bree van Reyk, percussion Delmae Barton, vocalist (Bidgera) Theo Carbo, electric guitar Daniel Wilfred, song man Jacques Emery, double bass (Yolngu) Chloe Kim, drums ACT ARTISTS Clarion Eloise Fisher clarinet Woden Valley Youth Choir Sally Walker, flute Luminescence Children’s Choir Sia Ahmad, (fka.

  • Piano History
    ABOUT THE PIANO A SHORT HISTORY OF THE PIANO If you have ever played a harpsichord or a clavichord, you know they feel dif- ferent from a piano. In a piano, a hammer is thrown at the strings when you press a key on the keyboard. The hammer quickly rebounds so the string can vi- brate for as long as you hold the key down (or even longer if you use the damper pedal). The harpsichord is different because the strings are plucked by a plectrum (originally the pointed end of a feather, now made of plastic or other synthetic material). Because the harpsichord plucks the string (as opposed to a hammer striking the string), you are very conscious of the moment the plucking takes place. The clavichord strikes the string with a metal tangent. Unlike the piano’s ham- mer that rebounds right away, the tangent stays in contact with the string. So the clavichord, too, has its own feel. A keyboard instrument called a virginal was a small and simple rectangular form of the harpsichord. The spinet was another small harpsichord-type instru- ment. These are some of the earliest keyboard instruments. Even the fortepiano, the name given to the earliest piano to distinguish it from the modern pianoforte, or piano, has its own feel—the depth of the key fall is shallow and it takes much less weight to press the key down. THE CRISTOFORI PIANOFORTE The piano itself was invented in Italy in 1709 by Bartolommeo Cristofori. His was a four-octave instrument (compared to our seven-and-a half-octave modern instrument), with hammers striking the strings just as they do on a modern pi- ano.

  • WHALE WATCHING TOUR Países: Estados Unidos/ Islandia/ Australia Duración Aproximada: 1 Hora Y 30 Minutos (Sin Intermedio)
    festival de otoño 09 www.bedroomcommunity.net Foto: Bjarni Grímsson MÚSICA WHALE WATCHING TOUR Países: Estados Unidos/ Islandia/ Australia Duración aproximada: 1 hora y 30 minutos (sin intermedio) -ESTRENO EN ESPAÑA- En el año 2006 Nico Muhly, Ben Frost y Valgeir Sigurðsson fundan el sello islandés Bedroom Community. Ahora, unidos a Sam Amidon emprenden una gira europea con un proyecto colectivo al que han llamado Whale Watching Tour. Más que como una serie de conciertos al uso, la gira se presenta como una experiencia musical única, un cóctel de artistas con inquietudes similares y orígenes musicales diversos. Graduado en composición en la Juilliard School, el joven Nico Muhly ha causado gran revuelo en los círculos de la músi- ca moderna por su activa participación en distintos proyectos. Ha colaborado con artistas como Antony (de Antony and the Johnsons) y ha sido discípulo aventajado de Philip Glass, con quien ha trabajado en varias obras y bandas sonoras. Colaboró como músico de Björk en el album Medúlla y ayudó a esta artista islandesa con los arreglos para la banda sonora de la película Drawing Restraint 9. Pero sin duda la música de la película The Reader ha sido el proyecto que le ha permitido conquistar al gran público. En 2006 crea su propio sello (Bedroom Community) junto a Ben Frost (su indó- mito Theory of Machines sigue entre los puntos álgidos de la electrónica experimental reciente) y Valgeir Sigurðsson (ha colaborado con Björk, Sigur Rós y múm, entre otros). En 2009, uniendo sus talentos a Sam Amidon (para muchos uno de los mejores compositores indie del siglo XXI), estos tres músicos alérgicos a las etiquetas se zambullen en el Whale Watching Tour.

    Press Release Friday, December 18th, 2015 Contact: Ashley Eckenweiler [email protected] CAP UCLA Presents Regina Carter’s ‘Southern Comfort’ plus Sam Amidon Feb. 26 at Royce Hall Center for the Art of Performance at UCLA is proud to present the rich stylings of jazz violinist Regina Carter, who will perform from her newest album Southern Comfort—a journey through the musical history of the South. Folk multi-instrumentalist Sam Amidon will bring the American past back to us with re-composed folk songs. Tickets ($29-$59) for Friday, February 26 at 8 p.m. are available now at cap.ucla.edu, via Ticketmaster and at the UCLA Central Ticket Office at 310.825.2101. This performance is supported in part by the Sally & William A. Rutter Endowment for the Performing Arts, the Ginny Mancini Endowment for Vocal Performance and the Roslyn Holt Swartz & Allan J. Swartz Endowment for the Performing Arts. Sam Amidon will also be participating in a special event for local public schools through the Design for Sharing arts education program. In this special performance for student audiences, Sam and his band will share re-imagined Appalachian folk favorites, incorporating elements of jazz, experimental and indie rock music. ABOUT REGINA CARTER Violinist Regina Carter is considered the foremost jazz violinist of her generation – a designation which doesn’t quite paint the picture. As a result of her curiosity, passion, and quest for beauty brought to every stop taken on her full musical journey, she was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship (a “genius grant”). Those are more apparent than ever on her latest album Southern Comfort (Sony Music Masterworks).

  • Johann Sebastian Bach and the Fortepiano
    Johann Sebastian Bach and the Fortepiano The keyboard music of J.S. Bach (Johann Sebastian Bach, 1685-1750 was mostly intended for the harpsichord. At that time, this instrument had a central position in the musical world, and had reached a state of high perfection. However, because it used a plucked string mechanism, it was not possible to express nuances on the keyboard, by playing loud or soft. The clavichord, on the other hand, another very popular instrument instrument, functioned by striking the strings, thus making different expressive nuances possible. Unfortunately, this instrument had a small range, and an extremely discreet sonority, which makes for a particularly confidential usage: it could hardly be used for public concerts. For that reason, the idea arose of replacing the plucked string system of the harpsichord with another, newly developed mechanism using hammers, which would strike the strings and thus make it possible to play with different dynamics. This was the system developed by Bartolomeo Cristofori (1655-1731), circa 1700 in Florence, Tuscany. Over the years, he developed and perfected his invention to a level of complexity which made his instruments expensive. Simplifications were made soon afterwards, only for the complex designs of Cristofori to reappear later in yet more highly developed pianos. This is a sure sign of his exceptional creativity. The simplified mechanism was introduced by Gottfried Silbermann (1683-1753), a well-known German organ builder, who had shown an interest in Cristofori’s new piano. During the mid-1730s, Silbermann had presented his simplified instrument to J.S. Bach, who was at that time not well pleased; he is said to have complained about the pinched sound in the high notes, and the heavy touch required.
