Among the dozens of citations, doctorates, and other honors he has received are included all of the most important music awards — several Grammys, the Pulitzer Prize, the Grawemeyer Award, and an Academy Award for his score © Christian Steiner to Francois Girard’s 1998 film “The Red Violin.” One of the few living composers to have a string quartet named after him, Corigliano’s work has been performed by some of the most prominent orchestras, soloists, and chamber musicians in the world, and recorded on the Sony, RCA, BMG, Telarc, Erato, Ondine, New World, and CRI labels. In 2007, Sony released Concerto for Violin and Orchestra: The Red Violin with Joshua Bell and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Marin Alsop. New commercial recordings of Circus Maximus, Mr. Tambourine Man, Three Hallucinations, and A Dylan Thomas Trilogy are forthcoming in 2008. Perhaps the most important symphonist of his era, Corigliano has to date written three symphonies, each a wholly separate landscape unto itself. Symphony No. 1 (1991) channeled Corigliano’s personal grief over the loss of friends to the AIDS crisis. Symphony No. 2 (2001), a rethinking and expansion of the haunted, surreal, and virtuosic String Quartet (1995), earned him the 2001 Pulitzer Prize in Music. The third symphony may be his most ambitious and remarkable yet: scored simultaneously for wind orchestra and a multitude of wind ensembles, Corigliano’s excessive, crazed, and grandly barbarous Circus Maximus (2004), première, in 2005 at Carnegie Hall. Equally active as a creator of chamber music, Corigliano serves on the faculty at the Juilliard School of Music and holds the position of Distinguished Professor of Music at Lehman College, City University of New York, which recently established a composition scholarship in his name. He lives in New York City and in Kent Cliffs, NY. Internationally renowned American conductor Leonard Slatkin begins his appointment as the twelfth music director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra commencing with the 2008-2009 season, and also serves as principal guest conductor of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, another new association. He completed his twelfth and final season as music director of the National Symphony Orchestra in 2007- 2008. Slatkin continues as principal guest conductor of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and music advisor to the Nashville Symphony Orchestra. His performances throughout North America, Europe, and the Far East have been distinguished by imaginative programming and highly praised interpretations of both the standard and contemporary symphonic repertoire. Additionally, he is well- known for his arts advocacy work on behalf of music education. Highlights of this coming season include a Far East tour with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and concerts with many leading American ensembles. He will also conduct several world premières with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Following a successful tenure as music director of the Saint Louis Symphony from 1979 until 1996, Slatkin was named conductor laureate. He has served as festival director of the Cleveland Orchestra’s Blossom Festival (1990-1999), principal guest conductor of the Philharmonia Orchestra (1997-2000), chief conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra (2000-2004), and principal guest conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl (2004-2007). In addition to his conducting appearances, Slatkin is a frequent host of musical broadcasts, which include the BBC, lending his broad knowledge and expertise. Slatkin has made regular appearances with virtually every major international orchestra and his more than 100 recordings have been recognized with 7 Grammy awards and more than 60 other Grammy nominations. He is the recipient of many additional honors and awards, including the 2003 National Medal of Arts, the highest award given to artists by the United States Government. “Mr. Bell doesn’t stand in anyone’s shadow,” noted David Mermelstein of the New York Times. Born in Bloomington, IN, Joshua Bell began playing the violin at age four after his parents noticed him plucking tunes on rubber bands he had stretched around the handles of his dresser drawers. By age 14, he had appeared as a soloist with the Philadelphia Orchestra. After graduating two years early from Bloomington North High School, Bell attended Indiana University to continue his violin studies with the legendary Josef Gingold. This is Bell’s first performance as a Jacobs School
