The prize – which is endowed with €250,000 – will be awarded as part of a ceremonial concert in Munich’s Prinzregententheater, to be streamed live on the internet. Award Ceremony at 8pm on 2nd June 2017, in the Prinzregententheater, Munich The Ernst von Siemens Music Prize will be awarded to Pierre-Laurent Aimard during a ceremonial concert on Friday 2nd June 2017 in Munich’s Prinzregententheater, to be presented by Michael Krüger, President of the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts. The laudation speech will be given by the British composer and conductor George Benjamin – a lifelong friend of Aimard’s – whose work Shadowlines will be played by the award winner during the following recital. In addition, Passio sine nomine by György Kurtág, two of György Ligeti’s Études – Entrelacs and Der Zauberlehrling –, Passacaglia canonica from Miniature Estrose by Marco Stroppa, Elliott Carter’s Caténaires as well as the piano duet Frames by Vassos Nicolaou – to be played by Aimard together with his wife, Tamara Stefanovich – will be performed. These pieces reflect the diversity of friends and colleagues Aimard has worked with during his career. Commenting on his choice of works, Aimard said, ‘My programme consists of works by composers I have worked with and with whom I have a special relationship. Each of these pieces is dedicated to me. And I premiered them, so they were especially important for me concerning my musical development. Taken together, they portray what is essential to me as performer and interpreter.’ The recipients of the Composers’ Prizes Michael Pelzel, Simon Steen-Andersen and Lisa Streich will be introduced through short films by Johannes List, which will also be available on the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation’s website from the evening prior to the ceremony. The Münchner Kammerorchester (MKO) will play an excerpt from pieces by Lisa Streich and Michael Pelzel under the direction of Jonathan Stockhammer. AUGENLIDER (Eyelids) by Lisa Streich, a piece for prepared guitar and orchestra, will feature the young British guitarist Laura Snowden. The CLEX, an electronically extended contrabass-clarinet played by the soloist Ernesto Molinari, will make an appearance as part of Michael Pelzel’s concerto Gravity’s Rainbow. Likewise, Run Time Error – a joystick-controlled video-performance – will give insight into the work of Simon Steen- Andersen. Cooperation between the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation and the Bavarian Broadcaster BR will once again enable the live transmission of the ceremony online at www.evs-musikstiftung.ch and www.br- klassik.de. Over €3 Million for Contemporary Music Projects Worldwide For the first time, the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation provides a total of €3.5 million in the form of awards and grants. Of this, €3 million has gone to support 130 projects worldwide – from Rio de Janeiro to Rome, from Iceland to Israel, from Shiraz to Schwetzingen. The EvS Music Foundation provides assistance to the Brazilian-European project Re-inventing Smetak in Rio de Janeiro and São Paolo, the premiere of a contemporary poly-choral work in Rome, the Tzlil Meudcan (‘Updated Tone’) festival in Tel Aviv and the Shiraz Festival for Contemporary Music organised by the Association of Iranian Contemporary Music Composers. Once again, the majority of financial support has been used for the commission of new works of music, with grants likewise available for festivals, concerts, educational institutes, symposiums, publications as well as mediation projects. The recipient of the Ernst von Siemens Music Prize receives €250,000, while the winners of the Composers’ Prizes receive €35,000 each as well as the production of a CD.

Each of these awards for promising young composers is endowed with 35,000 euros. In addition, the young artists will receive portrait CDs. In 2017, for the first time, the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation will award over 3.5 million euros in prize money and grants. The largest share – more than 3 million euros – will go towards supporting contemporary music projects worldwide. The Ernst von Siemens Music Prize, which is being awarded to the French pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard this year, is endowed with 250,000 euros. 3 million euros for contemporary music projects worldwide For the first time, the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation will award 3.5 million euros in prize money and grants. Thereof 3 million euros will go towards supporting 130 projects worldwide – from Buenos Aires to Budapest, from Iceland to Israel. For example, the EvS Music foundation is supporting the Latin American premiere of Georg Friedrich Haas’s In Vain at the famous Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, the Cycle Music and Arts Festival in Island, the Tzlil Meudcan (‘updated sound’ in Hebrew) in Tel Aviv, or a music theatre workshop for young composers held by the Peter Eötvös Foundation in Budapest. The largest part of the funds will finance and support commissions for new works by such composers as Rebecca Saunders, Adriana Hölszky, Iris ter Schiphorst, Salvatore Sciarrino and Aribert Reimann. The repertoire for unusual instrumentations will also be expanded with commissions, for example for electric guitar quartet by Alexander Schubert, Joanna Bailie und Christopher Trapani. The Irish composer Ann Cleare will be writing a piece for voices and trombone, commissioned by the Ekmeles Ensemble from New York. Ensemble intercomporain, whose long- standing solo pianist was none other than this year’s EvS Music Prize winner Pierre-Laurent Aimard, will commission seven composers – from Mark Andre to Marko Nikodijevic – to write pieces relating to the seven days of the creation. The EvS Music Foundation supports both festivals with long traditions, such as the Donaueschingen Festival, and smaller festivals like Gezeitenkonzerte (Tidal Concerts) 2017 in East Frisia with a composer portrait of Jan Müller-Wieland or Music Books II, which will be bringing the music of Salvatore Sciarrino to Ireland’s County Louth this year. Furthermore, the support of the EvS Music Foundation will enable such concerts as ‘Dialogues with Latin America’ by the Mexican Trio Moralia, featuring numerous world and Mexican premieres, projects for children and young people like the BigBang festival in Hamburg, conferences such as the Darmstadt Spring Conference held by the Institute for New Music and Music Education, as well as publications like the new, practically-oriented critical edition of Arthur Honegger’s Le Roi David, to name only a small selection. The next application deadline for project grants is 1 March 2017. Detailed information on all project grants and how to apply for them can be found on our homepage: www.evs-musikstiftung.ch Composers’ Prizes for Michael Pelzel, Simon Steen-Andersen and Lisa Streich As a Swiss foundation, we are happy to announce that in 2017, there will once again be a composer from Switzerland among the Composers’ Prize winners. Michael Pelzel was born in Rapperswil in 1978. He studied organ and composition in Lucerne, Basel, Stuttgart, Berlin and Karlsruhe. His composition teachers were Dieter Ammann, Detlev Müller-Siemens, Georg-Friedrich Haas, Hanspeter Kyburz and Wolfgang Rihm. Among other awards, he won the 2005 musica viva Composition Prize of Bavarian Radio in Munich, the 2011 Busoni Composition Prize and the 2016 Composition Prize of the State Capital Stuttgart. Michael Pelzel works as a freelance composer and organist, and is also the organist for the reform church in Stäfa, on Lake Zurich. Michael Pelzel’s music exerts a powerful pull, drawing in the listener. As in Yves Klein’s famous monochrome blue, differentiation and homogeneity are interwoven in fascinating ways: he allows his ensembles to transcend their components and create an amalgamated overall sound while still retaining a depth of focus full of rich details. He also refines his sensitivity to sounds and rhythms by engaging with extra-European music: he recently travelled to southern India to devote himself to the clay pot drum ghatam and Carnatic music, with its highly unusual rhythmic concepts. He also gained decisive artistic impulses form a three- month residency in South Africa. In awarding a prize to Simon Steen-Andersen, we acknowledge the work of a composer whose music is very closely tied to the possibility of multimedia technology, yet does not lose itself therein or succumb to trends.

    KLANGSPUREN SCHWAZ INTERNATIONAL ENSEMBLE MODERN ACADEMY IN TIROL. REBECCA SAUNDERS COMPOSER IN RESIDENCE. 15TH EDITION 29.08. – 09.09.2018 KLANGSPUREN INTERNATIONAL ENSEMBLE MODERN ACADEMY 2018 KLANGSPUREN SCHWAZ is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2018. The annual Tyrolean festival of contemporary music provides a stage for performances, encounters, and for the exploration and exchange of new musical ideas. With a different thematic focus each year, KLANGSPUREN aims to present a survey of the fascinating, diverse panorama that the music of our time boasts. KLANGSPUREN values open discourse, participation, and partnership and actively seeks encounters with locals as well as visitors from abroad. The entire beautiful region of Tyrol unfolds as the festival’s playground, where the most cutting-edge and modern forms of music as well as many young composers and musicians are presented. On the occasion of its own milestone anniversary – among other anniversaries that KLANGSPUREN SCHWAZ 2018 will be celebrating this year – the 25th edition of the festival has chosen the motto „Festivities. Places.“ (in German: „Feste. Orte.“). The program emphasizes projects and works that focus on aspects of celebrations, festivities, rituals, and events and have a specific reference to place and situation. KLANGSPUREN INTERNATIONAL ENSEMBLE MODERN ACADEMY is celebrating its 15th anniversary. The Academy is an offshoot of the renowned International Ensemble Modern Academy (IEMA) in Frankfurt and was founded in the same year as IEMA, in 2003. The Academy is central to KLANGSPUREN and has developed into one of the most successful projects of the Tyrolean festival for new music. The high standards of the Academy are vouched for by prominent figures who have acted as Composers in Residence: György Kurtág, Helmut Lachenmann, Steve Reich, Benedict Mason, Michael Gielen, Wolfgang Rihm, Martin Matalon, Johannes Maria Staud, Heinz Holliger, George Benjamin, Unsuk Chin, Hans Zender, Hans Abrahamsen, Wolfgang Mitterer, Beat Furrer, Enno Poppe, and most recently in 2017, Sofia Gubaidulina.

Since the festival’s first edition in 2002, TIMF has been striving to assemble highly qualified musicians in order to build its own ensemble. In 2011, then Alexander Liebreich initiated a collaboration of musicians from Ensemble TIMF with the Munich Chamber Orchestra, thus for the first time building a truly international Festival Orchestra. From then on, the group was assembled annually, performing at home and abroad. At the opening of the new Tongyeong Concert Hall in 2014, TFO was again led by Alexander Liebreich and included musicians from Ensemble TIMF, Polish National Radio Orchestra of Katowice, and from major international symphony orchestras, such as NDR Hamburg, Munich Philharmonic, Kremerata Baltica, Osaka Philharmonic, Melbourne Symphony and Sydney Symphony Orchestra. In 2015, TFO truly became a musical centerpiece of the Tongyeong International Music Festival. Following the festival theme „Voyages“, the orchestra went abroad to play in Japan and China. Performing together with violinist Gidon Kremer and German conductor Christoph Poppen, the orchestra consisted of musicians mainly from Korea, Japan and China to create a musical bridge between the three countries.

  • Çalgı Bilgsi Dersi 1. Dönem (Üflemeli)
    A. Ü. Devlet Konservatuvarı Eğitim – Öğretim Programı Çalgı Bilgisi Dersi (seçmeli) ( I. Dönem - Üflemeli Çalgılar ) (çalgılar, senfoni orkestrasının partisyon sıralamasına göre verilmiştir) Dr. Öğr. Üyesi İvan ÇELAK (CELAC) TAHTA ÜFLEMELİ ÇALGILAR FLÜT AİLESİ Flüt, yaklaşık 7 bin yıldır var olan bir enstrümandır. Üflemeli çalgılar arasında en eskilerden biri olan flütü, Yunan Tanrıçası Athena'nın da çaldığı bilinmektedir; anavatanı Eski Yunan ve bazı Asya ülkeleri olarak bilinir. Bunlar arasında Latin Amerika ülkelerine de rastlamak mümkündür. Ancak flütün ortaya çıkışının ‘’anonim’’ olduğu söylenebilir. 1700’lü yıllara kadar ilk yapıldığı haliyle kullanılan flüt, daha sonra geliştirilerek günümüze kadar gelmiştir. Ünlü alman flütçü Theobald Boehm, Pentenrieder ve Greve gibi flütistler ilkel kullanımın yetersiz kalışıyla flütü bugünkü haline getiren bir takım tasarımlara geliştirmişlerdir. B. Pentenrieder (Munich, c.1840), basit sistem (7-delik) Boehm and Greve (Munich, c.1829), basit sistem (9-delik) 1832 yılında Boehm’in geliştirdiği ve günümüzdeki flüte en yakın tasarımı Senfoni orkestrası içinde ise, ‘’tahta üflemeliler’’ grubunda Obue ve Fagot ailesi ile birlikte yer alan Flüt ailesi şu enstrümanlardan oluşur: • Piccolo flüt • Sol flüt (alto) • Do flüt • • Piccolo Flüt: . İng.: Piccolo, Alm.:Kleine Flöte, It.: Flauto Piccolo (ottavino: bir oktav üstten). Orkestrada bir tane bulunur. Piccolo flütlerde kuyruk kısmı yoktur ve 30 cm uzunluğundadır Piccolo partisi genellikle flüt grubunun üst registerini genişletmek için kullanılır. Orkestra içinde ‘’tutti’’lerde bile sivrilebilir; orkestra tınısına parlaklık getirir. Çoğu zaman (sololar hariç) flütlerde birlikte kullanılır. Orkestrada daimi bir enstürmandır. Piccolo flüt, büyük flütün hemen hemen yarısı kadar uzunluktadır. Büyük flütteki kuyruk bölümü piccolo flütte yoktur. Bu nedenle de büyük flütün en kalın sesleri olan Do ve Do diyez sesleri küçük flütte bulunmaz.

  • International Workshop for Young Composers
    THE LATVIAN NATIONAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA INVITES YOU TO THE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP FOR YOUNG COMPOSERS Latvia’s top symphonic player, the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra (LNSO), reintroduces the international workshop for young composers. Andris Dzenītis, one of Latvia’s most excellent composers, developed the tradition by attracting numerous young authors to workshops in various Latvia’s cities – Dundaga, Cēsis, and Mazsalaca. The workshops will take place on 19–23 August, 2019, in Rēzekne – a city in the heart of Latvia’s most peculiar region Latgale. Workshop participants will have the opportunity to draw inspiration from the oldest layers of North Latgale’s traditional music. The workshop lecturers are: Andris Dzenītis (Latvia), Marco Stroppa (Italy/Germany), and Anders Nordentoft (Denmark). The workshop will conclude with a performance of the participants’ new works in the opening concert of the LNSO Summer Festival at the Latgale Embassy GORS Small Hall. THEME – METAMORPHOSIS OF NORTHERN LATGALE’S TRADITIONAL SONGS LATGALE is a glorious lakeland in the southeast of Latvia. It is the poorest and the wealthiest part of the country simultaneously: a region with the least successful economy and the richest traditional culture and music. Historically, the territory of Latvia (and Estonia) adopted Lutheranism in the 16th century, except for Latgale, which was under Polish rule at the time and remained Catholic. Another specific feature of Latgale is that the majority of population speak the Latgalian, or High Latvian language. This form of Latvian has its own literature, and the relation between the Latvian of the Lutheran regions and Latgale’s High Latvian makes an approximate analogy to the relation between the High German and Low German or even High German and Dutch.

Les œuvres propos en novembre 1913. Une opinion que le destinataire partageait, puisqu’il décrivit l’œuvre dans ses Souvenirs de Claude Debussy, parus en 1921, comme « un véritable joyau Sous le double signe d’émotion restreinte, de tristesse, de beauté plastique, de tendresse discrète et de poésie ». de Debussy et Varèse Destiné à illustrer non pas la mort de Pan, comme on l’a longtemps cru, mais le moment où une nymphe d’abord réticente s’abandonne à la séduction du dieu de la nature, le morceau Admirateur de Debussy, élève de Varèse, André Jolivet se situe au confluent de leurs univers reflète la grisante sensualité des vers qu’il accompagne : révélateurs d’une musique française contrastée. Dans les années 1930, il apparaît comme « Ô Pan, les sons de ta syrinx, ainsi qu’un vin l’héritier à la fois des arabesques mélodiques du premier et des conceptions sonores révo- Trop odorant et trop doux, m’ont grisée ; lutionnaires du second. De multiples correspondances traversent ce programme, Densité Ô Pan, je n’ai plus peur de toi, je t’appartiens ! » 21, 5 répondant à Syrinx tandis que le Trio de Jolivet fait écho à la Sonate pour flûte, alto et harpe de Debussy tout en annonçant Mana.
