    Press release Emphasis on female conductors and composers The Royal Concertgebouw presents its programme for the 2018-2019 season Amsterdam, 26th February 2018 – For its programme for the 2018-2019 season, The Royal Concertgebouw has decided to put an emphasis on female conductors and composers. Together with the LUDWIG music collective, Barbara Hannigan is set to return to conduct her first opera, The Rake’s Progress by Stravinsky. For her Royal Concertgebouw debut, Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla will be bringing with her the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, of which she is chief conductor. Susanna Mälkki will also be heading her ‘very own’ Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra. It will also be the first time that The Royal Concertgebouw welcomes a female composer in residence, Tansy Davies, from Great Britain. She will reside in Amsterdam for a few months to, among other things, compose new works for Asko|Schönberg. In the Rising Stars series, the audience will hear commissioned works by Roxanna Panufnik and Camille Pépin, with attention also being paid to female composers such as Alma Mahler, Clara Schumann and Fanny Mendelssohn. The Italian composer and violinist Alba Rosa Viëtor will take centre stage during the one-day festival Alba Rosa Viva!. Her works will be supported by the works of Henriëtte Bosmans, Cécile Chaminade and Rosy Wertheim. Three female ‘Sharp thinkers’ are also set to make an appearance: Petra Stienen, Griet Op de Beeck and Aaltje van Zweden. Violinist Janine Jansen will display her versatility with three concerts in the Main Hall: in a recital together with pianist Alexander Gavrylyuk, and as a soloist with the Swedish Radio Orchestra and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe.

  • Endless House: Intersections of Art and Architecture June 27, 2015–March 6, 2016 the Robert Menschel Architecture and Design Gallery, Third Floor
    Endless House: Intersections of Art and Architecture June 27, 2015–March 6, 2016 The Robert Menschel Architecture and Design Gallery, third floor Endless House considers the single-family home and archetypes of dwelling as a theme for the creative endeavors of architects and artists. Through drawings, photographs, video, installations, and architectural models drawn from MoMA’s collection, the exhibition highlights how artists have used the house as a means to explore universal topics, and how architects have tackled the design of residences to expand their discipline in new ways. The exhibition also marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Viennese-born artist and architect Frederick Kiesler (1890–1965). Taking its name from an unrealized project by Kiesler, Endless House celebrates his legacy and the cross-pollination of art and architecture that made Kiesler’s 15-year project a reference point for generations to come. Work by architects and artists spanning more than seven decades are exhibited alongside materials from Kiesler’s Endless House design and images of its presentation in MoMA’s 1960 Visionary Architecture exhibition. Intriguing house designs—ranging from historical projects by Mies van der Rohe, Frank Gehry, Peter Eisenman, and Rem Koolhaas, to new acquisitions from Smiljan Radic and Asymptote Architecture—are juxtaposed with visions from artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Bruce Nauman, Mario Merz, and Rachel Whiteread. Together these works demonstrate how the dwelling occupies a central place in a cultural exchange across generations and disciplines. Organized by Pedro Gadanho, Curator, Department of Architecture and Design, The Museum of Modern Art Architecture and Design Collection Exhibitions are made possible by Hyundai Card and Hyundai Capital America.

Known all over the world for his buildings, many of which have attained iconic status, Frank Gehry has revolutionised architecture’s aesthetics, its social and cultural role, and its relationship to the city. It was in Los Angeles, in the early 1960s, that Gehry opened his own office as an architect. There he engaged with the California art scene, becoming friends with artists such as Ed Ruscha, Richard Serra, Claes Oldenburg, Larry Bell, and Ron Davis. His encounter with the works of Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns would open the way to a transformation of his practice as an architect, for which his own, now world-famous, house at Santa Monica would serve as a manifesto. Frank Gehry’s work has since then been based on the interrogation of architecture’s means of expression, a process that has brought with it new methods of design and a new approach to materials, with for example the use of such “poor” materials as cardboard, sheet steel and industrial wire mesh.
