Daifujikura:Worksforviola(S) Daifujikura:Worksforviola(S) Contact: John Stulz 614/560-9756 [email protected] for immediate release: DAI FUJIKURA: WORKS FOR VIOLA(S) Anne Lanzilotti + John Stulz, violas Sunday October 6, 2013 | 7pm | Firehouse Space | 246 Frost Street Brooklyn, NY 11211 “Exceptionally striking pieces, combining mastery of texture and form with a marvellous sense of compositional pacing and gesture. ★★★★★” -BBC Music Magazine “High octane instrumental writing” -The Guardian DAI FUJIKURA: WORKS FOR VIOLA(S) Anne Lanzilotti + John Stulz, violas FLUX for solo viola PRISM SPECTRA for viola and electronics DOLPHINS for two violas SAMARASA for solo viola FLUID CALLIGRAPHY for viola and video projections by Tomoya Yamaguchi Ticket $10 http://thefirehousespace.org/ Brooklyn, NY - DATE - On October 6th, violists Anne Lanzilotti and John Stulz perform the *DAI FUJIKURA: WORKS FOR VIOLA(S) press release* complete works for viola(s) by highly acclaimed British/Japanese composer Dai Fujikura at The Firehouse Space in Brooklyn. Featuring works for one and two violas, viola and electronics, as well as a collaboration for viola and video with the japanese artist Tomoya Yamaguchi, this unique event will present a comprehensive portrait of one of the leading young composers currently working in Europe. DAI FUJIKURA: WORKS FOR VIOLA(S) will show Fujikura’s highly skilled and wildly unique sonic language within the intimate yet variegated medium of the viola. The composer’s slowly morphing harmonies and ear opening acoustic effects are in full force with FLUX and SAMARASA for solo viola, the latter of which will be given its world premiere here in the viola version. DOLPHINS, a duet written for violists Nobuko Imai and Kim Kashkashian, takes this language into dream-like worlds with memories of Messaien and Takemitsu. The highlight of the evening will be Fujikura’s collaborations with IRCAM (Institute de Recherche et Coordination Acoustic/Musique, Paris) and the Japanese video-artist Tomoya Yamaguchi. FLUID CALLIGRAPHY pairs musical and visual lines inspired by Japanese calligraphy, with stunning video images from Mr. Yamaguchi. PRISM SPECTRA, one of Fujikura’s most acclaimed works, expands the sonic expectations of the viola through extensive live electronic processing and effects designed specifically for the piece by engineers at IRCAM. DAI FUJIKURA: WORKS FOR VIOLA(S) takes a vital step in expanding awareness of Fujikura’s important work among audiences in the United States and promises to be an exciting early-season event for anyone interested in recent developments in contemporary music. ABOUT DAI FUJIKURA Although Dai Fujikura was born in Osaka, he has now spent more than 20 years in the UK where he studied composition with Edwin Roxburgh, Daryl Runswick and George Benjamin. During the last decade he has been the recipient of numerous prizes, including the Huddersfield Festival Young Composers Award and a Royal Philharmonic Society Award in UK, Internationaler Wiener Composition Prize, the Paul Hindemith Prize in Austria and Germany respectively and both the OTAKA and Akutagawa awards in 2009. A quick glance at his list of commissions and performances reveals he is fast becoming a truly international composer. His music is not only performed in the country of his birth or his adopted home, but is now performed in venues as geographically diverse as Caracas and Oslo, Venice and Schleswig-Holstein, Lucerne and Paris. In his native Japan he has been accorded the special honour of a portrait concert in Suntory Hall in October 2012. In London where he chooses to live with his wife and family, he has now received two BBC Proms commissions, his Double Bass Concerto was recently premiered by *DAI FUJIKURA: WORKS FOR VIOLA(S) press release* the London Sinfonietta and in 2013 the BBC Symphony Orchestra will give the UK premiere of ‘Atom’ as part of the Total Immersion: Sounds from Japan. Conductors with whom he has worked include Pierre Boulez, Peter Eötvös, Jonathan Nott, Gustavo Dudamel, the newly-appointed conductor of the Suisse Romande, Kazuki Yamada and Alexander Liebreich. His compositions are increasingly the product of international co-commissions. In 2012/13 the Seattle and Bamberg Symphony will each give continental premieres of ‘Mina’ for wind a percussion soloists and orchestra and the Asian premiere is currently being negotiated. In 2011/12 the Arditti Quartet performed ‘flare’ in collaborating venues in London, Edinburgh and Tokyo. His opera, which is based on Stanislaw Lem’s novel, Solaris, will be co-produced in both France and Switzerland. In 2012 NMC released the first disc devoted exclusively to his music, “secret forest”, and in summer 2013, another album of his works is planned to be released on the KAIROS label, performed by I.C.E. MUSICIANS A fierce advocate of contemporary music, ANNE LANZILOTTI has premiered solo and chamber music works across Europe and the United States. In the summer of 2011, she gave the UK premiere of Dai Fujikura’s “prism spectra” for viola and electronics at Village Underground in London. Lanzilotti has performed with new music ensembles such as Alarm Will Sound, ensemble interface, and Soloistenensemble Kaleidoskop, as well as with computer music engineers from IRCAM Paris on works involving live electronics. A Brooklyn-based performer, she collaborates frequently with members of Sleeping Giant. Lanzilotti has worked with conductors such as Pierre Boulez, Gustavo Dudamel, Sir Simon Rattle, and Michael Tilson Thomas as an orchestral musician. During her Fellowship at the New World Symphony, she was co-Principal. Lanzilotti performed with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin for two years as a Fellowship Violist. She is the Associate Principal Violist of the Wintergreen Performing Arts Festival Orchestra. As a Teaching Artist, Lanzilotti has given master classes at Oberlin Conservatory and Bowling Green University.

Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, violist JOHN STULZ has gone on to live and study in Los Angeles, Boston and New York City. His artistic mentors include Donald McInnes, Kim Kashkashian, Garth Knox, and Midori. John’s major performances include Berio’s daunting Chemins II with the Boston Modern Orchestra Project, praised by the Boston Globe for his “taut control and poetic intensity”; West Coast premieres of works by Donald Crockett, Elliott Carter, and Krzysztof Meyer; as well as chamber music performances with Arnold Steinhardt, Joseph Silverstein, Miriam Fried, and Steven Mackey. As a musical entrepreneur, John partnered with conductor Vimbayi Kaziboni in 2008 to found the Los Angeles–based What’s Next? Ensemble. The group has since brought together more than 100 young musicians to perform the music of over 50 local composers under the auspices of their annual Los Angeles Composers Project, now in its fifth year. When not playing the work of others, John is active creating original projects that seek to expand the traditional musical practice. Among these projects are a series of algorithmic recompositions of a piece by György Ligeti, an ongoing collection of musical "Diaries", a project with elementary school children to create visual art inspired by avant-garde composers, and a current project to over-compose field recordings of the 186 blocks from John's apartment to the southern tip of Manhattan. In March John self-released his first album of compositions, December Steps. For more information on his composition projects visit www.johnstulz.com.

  • Gustavo Dudamel 2020/21 Season (Long Biography)
    GUSTAVO DUDAMEL 2020/21 SEASON (LONG BIOGRAPHY) Gustavo Dudamel is driven by the belief that music has the power to transform lives, to inspire, and to change the world. Through his dynamic presence on the podium and his tireless advocacy for arts education, Dudamel has introduced classical music to new audiences around the world and has helped to provide access to the arts for countless people in underserved communities. As the Music & Artistic Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, now in his twelfth season, Dudamel’s bold programming and expansive vision led The ​ New York Times to herald the LA Phil as “the most important orchestra in America – period.” ​ With the COVID-19 global pandemic shutting down the majority of live performances, Dudamel has committed even more time and energy to his mission of bringing music to young people across the globe, firm in his belief that the arts play an essential role in creating a more just, peaceful, and integrated society. While quarantining in Los Angeles, he hosted a new radio program from his living room entitled “At Home with Gustavo,” sharing personal stories and musical selections as a way to bring people together during a time of isolation. The program was broadcast locally as well as internationally in both English and Spanish, with guest co-hosts including, among others, composer John Williams, his wife, actress María Valverde. Dudamel also participated in Global Citizen’s Global Goal: Unite For Our Future TV fundraising special, giving a ​ ​ socially-distanced performance from the Hollywood Bowl with the LA Phil and YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles).

  • West Side Story
    To Our Readers ow can something be as fresh, as bril­ Hliant, as explosively urgent as "West Side Story," and be 50 years old? How can this brand new idea for the American theatre have been around for half a century? Leonard Bernstein used to say that he wished he could write the Great American Opera. He was still designing such a project shortly before his death. But in retrospect, we can say that he fulfilled his wish. "West Side Story" is performed to enthusiastic audiences in opera houses around the world - recently in La Scala and, before this year is out, at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris. Is there a Broadway revival in the works? The signs are highly auspicious. In this issue, we celebrate "West Side Story": its authors, its original performers, and its continuing vital presence in the world. Chita Rivera regrets that, due to scheduling conflicts, she was unable to contribute to this issue by print time. [ wEst SIDE ·sronv L "West Side Story" continues to break ground to this very day. Earlier this year, the show was performed by inmates at Sing Sing. A few months later, it was presented as part of a conflict resolution initiative for warring street gangs in Seattle. And if there's a heaven, Leonard Bernstein was up there dancing for joy last summer while Gustavo Dudamel led his sensational 200-piece Simon Bolfvar Youth Orchestra in the "Mambo" at the Proms in London. The audience went bonkers. Check it out: http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/ 6pXLfR60dUfQNjMYZ There are few theatrical experiences as reliably thrilling as a student production of "West Side Story".

  • A Listening Guide for the Indispensable Composers by Anthony Tommasini
    A Listening Guide for The Indispensable Composers by Anthony Tommasini 1 The Indispensable Composers: A Personal Guide Anthony Tommasini A listening guide INTRODUCTION: The Greatness Complex Bach, Mass in B Minor I: Kyrie I begin the book with my recollection of being about thirteen and putting on a recording of Bach’s Mass in B Minor for the first time. I remember being immediately struck by the austere intensity of the opening choral singing of the word “Kyrie.” But I also remember feeling surprised by a melodic/harmonic shift in the opening moments that didn’t do what I thought it would. I guess I was already a musician wanting to know more, to know why the music was the way it was. Here’s the grave, stirring performance of the Kyrie from the 1952 recording I listened to, with Herbert von Karajan conducting the Vienna Philharmonic. Though, as I grew to realize, it’s a very old-school approach to Bach. Herbert von Karajan, conductor; Vienna Philharmonic (12:17) Today I much prefer more vibrant and transparent accounts, like this great performance from Philippe Herreweghe’s 1996 recording with the chorus and orchestra of the Collegium Vocale, which is almost three minutes shorter. Philippe Herreweghe, conductor; Collegium Vocale Gent (9:29) Grieg, “Shepherd Boy” Arthur Rubinstein, piano Album: “Rubinstein Plays Grieg” (3:26) As a child I loved “Rubinstein Plays Grieg,” an album featuring the great pianist Arthur Rubinstein playing piano works by Grieg, including several selections from the composer’s volumes of short, imaginative “Lyrical Pieces.” My favorite was “The Shepherd Boy,” a wistful piece with an intense middle section.
