Coulthard (1908–2000) began writing music in childhood and con- tinued as long as she could. Composition dates in the 428-page catalogue of the Coulthard manuscripts which can be found at the Web page http://www.library. ubc.ca/archives/u_arch/2007.06.27.cat.pdf, and was prepared by the authors to accompany the posthumous third accession to the composer’s archives, range from 1917 to 1997. The catalogue is housed at the University of British Columbia at the Web site http://www.library.ubc.ca/archives/u_arch/coulth.html. Her works span all forms from delightful graded pieces for young piano students, through choral and chamber music, to opera and large orchestral scores. The book addresses students of Canadian classical music, women’s issues, and the performing arts.

Jean Coulthard Celebration
The Canadian Music Centre in BC Presents The Murray Adaskin Salon Concert Series CE L EBRAT I N G O UR L EGACY Jean Coulthard Celebration Friday, February 10, 2017 • 7:00pm Letter from the BC Director What are your values? Working in the arts, I think about this question a great deal. Values define who we are as individuals and as organizations. They inform our understanding of the world around us. Our values determine the choices we make, the individuals we most cherish in our lives, the kinds of organizations we choose to support. Yet today we are living through a time in which our core values are being challenged in ways we once thought unimaginable. Which makes me wonder what Jean Coulthard's values were. She was, like Barbara Pentland and Violet Archer, far ahead of her time, which I imagine is never a terribly comfortable place to be. At a time when women were actively discouraged from pursuing professional careers in music; when orchestras were entirely male; when there were few if any role models, Jean Coulthard was appointed the very first composition teacher at UBC in 1947. Which means she must have believed in being true to herself no matter what, to having the courage of her own convictions, particularly given what an original voice she was at a time when Boulez wrote that "all composition other than twelve-tone serialism is useless." Jean Coulthard was cosmopolitan, evinced by the portrait of her featured on the cover of this programme. Through her life and studies she embraced French Impressionism and its myriad Asian influences; the folk influences of Bartok whom she consulted about her work on a number of occasions; the nationalist influences of Vaughan Williams, with whom she studied, and of Copland, with whom she corresponded; even the serialism of Schoenberg, though it was such a far cry from her own more pastoral, and pastorally-oriented aesthetic.

In 1981 when Carolyn Lomax met with Ann Southam, Mary Gardiner, and others to form what was to become ACWC, little did she and the other Toronto-based composers know that their work would expand to become an association of over 100 members spread across Canada from Vancouver Island to Newfoundland, and from the Northwest Territories to the US and Europe, incorporating musical forms from soundscape to jazz improvisation, song to symphony, largely centred on innovative Western classical styles – music necessary to compose. In the early 80’s when ACWC1 boasted a membership of some 15 – 35 members, few questioned its predominantly European-rooted membership.

Canada Music Week by Sean Bickerton | Dec 5, 2017 | 0 Comments
a Canada Music Week by Sean Bickerton | Dec 5, 2017 | 0 comments Canada Music Week is a nation-wide celebration of Canadian composers and their music established by the Canadian Federation of Music Teachers’ Associations in 1960 to commemorate their 25th Anniversary. It takes place each year in the third week of November in order to include November 22, dedicated to St. Cecilia, Patron Saint of Music. To celebrate Canada Music Week this year (November 19 — 25) CMC BC co-sponsored two vocal recitals produced by Community Partners UBC Opera here in Vancouver, and Pacic Opera in Victoria. Both concerts featured arias from soprano Stephanie Nakagawa‘s landmark Canadian Opera Anthology for Soprano. The rst was a UBC Opera Tea matinee recital in UBC’s Old Auditorium, which featured arias from Harry Somers‘ opera Louis Riel, John Estacio‘s Filumena, Jean Coulthard‘s Return of the Native, Chan Ka Nin‘s Iron Road, Victor Davies‘ Transit of Venus, Neil Weisensel‘s Stickboy, Lloyd Burritt‘s The Dream Healer, and John Estacio’s Lillian Alling. CMC BC was pleased to present two Barbara Pentland Awards at the UBC Opera concert — an Award of Excellence for UBC Opera’s many commissions, performances, and support of Canadian music, presented to Nancy Hermiston, Chair of UBC Opera & Voice Divisions; and an Award of Excellence to Stephanie Nakagawa, for her remarkable doctoral project — the Canadian Opera Anthology for Soprano. It was a joy to present these awards and have the opportunity to discuss the work of the Canadian Music Centre onstage with Nancy Hermiston at the opening of the second half of the program.
