Migrant Female Musicians and Their Fight for Social Rights1
Migration Studies – Review of Polish Diaspora nr 3 (177)/2020, http://www.ejournals.eu/Studia-Migracyjne/ DOI: 10.4467/25444972SMPP.20.032.12596 Migrant female Musicians and their Fight for Social Rights1 MILENA GAMMAITONI2 ORCID: 0000-0002-6578-8199 Department of Educational Sciences Roma Tre University of Rome The aim of this essay is to examine the social action of women composers, often obliged to migrate, for long or short periods, in search of greater freedom and affirmation of their musical talent. The history of yesterday and today features numerous women musicians, composers and performers, active in the production of music, in social and political life, who often had and have to travel and migrate to assert themselves. Going on tour has always been part of the life of the artist – but for women it was not easy to travel freely and at will, on their own besides. Until the nineteenth centu- ry, such a thing was almost always strictly forbidden. Sometimes women composers and performers left the countries in which they resided for personal reasons, driven not only by the “compulsion” to change country because in their own it was impossible to choose the pathway they wished to follow. Keywords: women composers, sociology, rights, migration Social history of women composers and research methodology The Universal Encyclopedism of the eighteenth century and the various specialist dis- ciplines cancelled women composers from the collective memory. As a result, they are often totally absent from present-day handbooks of the history of music. Today, it is possible to calculate their approximate numbers: the New Grove of Music lists 900 female musicians, the Oxford Library 1,500 and, finally, the “Donne e Musica”3 1 Translation from Italian by Kay Mc Carthy. -

John Cage's Entanglement with the Ideas Of
JOHN CAGE’S ENTANGLEMENT WITH THE IDEAS OF COOMARASWAMY Edward James Crooks PhD University of York Music July 2011 John Cage’s Entanglement with the Ideas of Coomaraswamy by Edward Crooks Abstract The American composer John Cage was famous for the expansiveness of his thought. In particular, his borrowings from ‘Oriental philosophy’ have directed the critical and popular reception of his works. But what is the reality of such claims? In the twenty years since his death, Cage scholars have started to discover the significant gap between Cage’s presentation of theories he claimed he borrowed from India, China, and Japan, and the presentation of the same theories in the sources he referenced. The present study delves into the circumstances and contexts of Cage’s Asian influences, specifically as related to Cage’s borrowings from the British-Ceylonese art historian and metaphysician Ananda K. Coomaraswamy. In addition, Cage’s friendship with the Jungian mythologist Joseph Campbell is detailed, as are Cage’s borrowings from the theories of Jung. Particular attention is paid to the conservative ideology integral to the theories of all three thinkers. After a new analysis of the life and work of Coomaraswamy, the investigation focuses on the metaphysics of Coomaraswamy’s philosophy of art. The phrase ‘art is the imitation of nature in her manner of operation’ opens the doors to a wide- ranging exploration of the mimesis of intelligible and sensible forms. Comparing Coomaraswamy’s ‘Traditional’ idealism to Cage’s radical epistemological realism demonstrates the extent of the lack of congruity between the two thinkers. In a second chapter on Coomaraswamy, the extent of the differences between Cage and Coomaraswamy are revealed through investigating their differing approaches to rasa , the Renaissance, tradition, ‘art and life’, and museums. -

Ensemble IRE Cie D’Autres Cordes Ensemble IRE
Ensemble IRE Cie d’Autres Cordes Ensemble IRE Franck Vigroux electronics Hélène Breschand harp & effects Philippe Foch percussions Christophe Ruetsch electronics Kasper T. Toeplitz e-bass & computer Ensemble IRE Cie d’Autres Cordes History The ensemble IRE is founded by composers Kasper T. Toeplitz and Franck Vigroux. Their aim is to take a different look at electronic music, or rather more specifically the ”electronic mind” as applied to today’s 21st century music. IRE questions the notion on the live interpretation of electronic compositions, the use of electricity, and advancement of the organology towards hybrid instruments and orchestration. The current repertory of the ensemble comprises compositions by Christian Zanesi ("Grand Bruit", revisited for instruments), Toeplitz/Vigroux (Bestia), an hommage piece dedicated to Iannis Xenakis and for now a commissioned piece to composer Ulrich Krieger. Ensemble IRE Cie d’Autres Cordes Hélène Breschand All harpists are wild and proud, for no sound is easily tamed. Abandoned then growing up on stage, Hélène Breschand is only calm on the surface. Do not come to see a show where she is featured without light, for it is in obscurity that the vibrant strings are no longer sufficient. From silent thuds and impatient whispers to sudden scratches, rough caresses follow sonorous slaps, and a desire to be a harp. Who is fond of brisk melodies and flowing scales? Hélène BRESCHAND is one of these musicians who is able to evolve along the edge of several realms, from contemporary music to Jazz. She leads a career as a solo artist, as well as chamber musician, through a contemporary repertoire and creations, as well as improvisation, musical theater and the fine arts. -

One of the founding competitions, the Chopin competition held in Warsaw, dates back to 1927. -

Die zeitgenössische Musik war ihm genauso wichtig – wie sein Interesse an der Musik Richard Wagners beweist. Auch heute wäre es ein Irrtum, musikalische Erlebnisse nur aus der Vergangen- heit schöpfen zu wollen. So wichtig und bedeutend die Musik früherer Jahrhun- derte ist, so sehr sie bis heute die Herzen vieler Menschen zu erreichen vermag, sie ersetzt die Aktualität heutiger Klangschöpfungen nicht. -
THE ORCHESTRA of FUTURIST NOISE INTONERS Luciano Chessa, Director
Intonarumori, ArtBasel Miami Beach, 2011, photo by Javier Sanchez THE ORCHESTRA OF FUTURIST NOISE INTONERS Luciano Chessa, Director A Performa 09 Commission These eccentric hurdy-gurdy instruments first created in 1913 still sounded musically radical after all these years. Roberta Smith for The New York Times The Orchestra of Futurist Noise Intoners is the only complete replica of futurist composer/sound artist Luigi Russolo’s legendary intonarumori orchestra. The orchestra tours worldwide, presenting concerts that feature historical and new works commissioned from an all-star cast of experimental composers, some performing live alongside this orchestra of raucous mechanical synthesizers. The orchestra’s composers include Sonic Youth’s founding guitarist Lee Ranaldo, seminal composer/vocalist Joan La Barbara, Einstürzende Neubauten frontman and Nick Cave collaborator Blixa Bargeld, avant-garde saxophonist John Butcher, Deep Listening pioneer Pauline Oliveros, Faith No More and Mr. Bungle vocalist Mike Patton, avant-garde musician Elliott Sharp, and composer/vocalist Jennifer Walshe collaborating with late composer and film/video artist Tony Conrad, among others. For further details and touring information contact Esa Nickle at Performa on +1 212 366 5700, or email [email protected] HISTORY As part of its celebration of the 100th anniversary of Italian Futurism, the Performa 09 biennial, in collaboration with the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), invited Luciano Chessa to reconstruct Russolo’s intonarumori. Supervising Bay Area craftsman Keith Carey, Chessa succeeded in recreating for the first time Russolo’s earliest intonarumori orchestra, originally unveiled in Milan in the Summer of 1913 (16 instruments—8 noise families of 1-3 instruments each, in various registers). -
