Choice Award at the CBC Young Composer’s Competition, and the Alexander
Zemlinsky Prize. Eka
Chabashvili’s music has been performed all over the world, including
Argentina, Austria, Germany, France, Holland, Italy, Switzerland and
the US. In 1999-2000 she worked at the War Child Organization,
using music to help refugee children overcome the tragic and traumatic
events they had experienced. Fozie
Majd is one of the most important composers of her generation from
Iran. She received her first commission at the age of 15 by the
Moreton School in England and later, in the 1960s, she studied with
Nadia Boulanger in Paris. In the 1970s, she extensively
researched folk music of Iran. Born
in the Tatar Republic of the Soviet Union, Sofia Gubaidulina in the
1960s was among the prominent figures of the Soviet avant-garde.
Today, she is considered one of the most significant composers. A
rising figure in New York City’s contemporary music scene, Beata Moon’s
music has been described as an “irrepressible outpouring” and “music of
irreducible images.” She is also the Music Director of the Beata
Moon Ensemble, an all-female chamber ensemble created to promote women
composers, conductors and performers.

11 (Sun.) - CONCERT: Yumi Kurosawa & James Nyoraku Schlefer (Enchanting Music)
|
|
1:00 PM ADMISSION: $15, $10 Seniors/Students
Music for Japanese Koto and Bamboo Flute ENCHANTING MUSIC - CALM REFLECTION
Much
of the music for this program uses the duo combination of shakuhachi
and 20-string koto. While the 13-string koto has been performed
in Japan for over 400 years, the 20-string version was invented only in
1969 by the renowned composer Minoru Miki. The addition of seven lower
strings, gives a new depth and range to the instrument and many pieces
of music have been created using this instrument. On this program four
pieces will feature this unique instrument.
MINORU MIKI - Music for Autumn TAKASHI YOSHIMATSU - Soh Gyo Fu JAMES NYORAKU SCHLEFER - Duo #3 YUMI KUROSAWA - Rapture
The
Edo period classic work Seasonal Landscapes, by Matsuura Kengyo, Hozan
Yamamoto's Ichikotsu, and a solo shakuhachi piece from the ancient Zen
repertoire will also be performed.
James Nyoraku Schlefer is a
leading performer and teacher of shakuhachi in New York City. In
addition to performing and lecturing on traditional Japanese shakuhachi
music, Schlefer performs modern music for the instrument and is an
active composer. He has appeared at Lincoln Center, The Kennedy Center,
Tanglewood, the Metropolitan, Brooklyn and Philadelphia Museums, &
the Joyce Theater. Schlefer has three solo recordings, Wind Heart
(which was aboard the Space Station MIR for over one year) Solstice
Spirit, and Flare Up, and his music was featured on NPR's All Things
Considered. He received the Dai-Shi-Han (Grand Master) certificate from
Ronnie Seldin, and he has worked with Aoki Reibo, Yokoyama Katsuya,
Yoshio Kurahashi, Yoshinobu Tanighcui, and Mitsuhashi Kifu among
others. He holds a Master's degree in flute & musicology from
Queens College and teaches college courses in Classical Music, World
Music and Jazz.
Born in Morioka, Japan, Yumi Kurosawa began
studying the 13-stringed-Koto from the age of three under her parents,
Kazuo and Chikako Kurosawa. At the age of fifteen she was drawn to the
contemporary sound and technique of the 20-stringed-Koto and began
studying the 20-stringed-Koto under Nanae Yoshimura, and classical Koto
music under Sosui Yoshimura. Kurosawa received first prize at National
Koto competition for students, Japan in 1989 and 1992. She performed a
duet with Evjan Rattai of Prague Cello Ensemble at Suntory Hall, Tokyo
in 1993. Following extensive performances in Tokyo, she began
performing in worldwide in concert tours to Canada, Germany, Malaysia,
Russia, and United States. In 2002, she moved to New York in pursuit of
new innovative collaborations with artists and musicians. She is
currently producing her own compilation of original compositions and
performing as a solo artist and collaborator in NYC. In addition to
musical composition, arrangement and improvisation, Kurosawa's training
in Modern Ballet led her to perform and collaborate with New York dance
companies.

15 (Thu.)-April 16 - ART EXHIBITION: Terry Rosenberg: Recent Paintings
|
|
Rebecca, (Serrell) 2007, Watercolor on canvas, 89" x 102 3/4"
|
Opening Reception: March 16 (Fri.) 6-8 pm FREE
Curated
by Thalia Vrachopoulos, Ph. D., the exhibition focuses on the continued
development of Rosenberg’s work through large scale paintings,
including the exploration of the human form in motion, its transitory
states, the synthesis of light, color, and dynamic structure. Rosenberg
has explored the human form in motion for more than twenty years with a
unique emphasis on dance. Working directly from figures in rehearsal or
in improvised movement, he integrates the explosive energy of dance
with the emotional intensity of action painting. His focus has included
leading dance groups such as American Ballet Theatre, Dance Theater of
Harlem, Mark Morris Dance Group, Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company
and many others from the downtown dance world. Laban
movement analyst Linda Nutter, Ph. D., CMA, writes, “Rosenberg draws
dancers in the process of becoming the dance. His work communicates an
intrinsic knowledge of the body – its manner of shaping itself to the
environment, its spatial tensions and its dynamic potential. Rosenberg
has developed a mode of sensing/rendering the dance in a way that
reflects its essential characteristics.” According to art
historian Richard Kendall, “Fundamental to these encounters is the
possibility of new pictorial experience, of pressing at the barriers of
visual syntax and expanding the life of painting itself. Some of his
completed images are almost shocking in their promiscuous life,
bursting out of the constraints of familiar technique as well as the
polite protocols of modernism.” Rosenberg’s work has been
exhibited at Whitney Museum of American Art at Philip Morris,
Museum of Modern Art, Frances Wolfson Art Gallery, Miami, Konsthallen
Goteborg, Sweden, The Clocktower, Albright Knox Art Gallery, Institute
of Art and Urban Resources, BM Contemporary Art Center, Istanbul, Sao
Paulo Bienal, Hayden Gallery at M.I.T., Queens Museum, Museo de Arte
Contemporanio de Oaxaca, Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Mudima
Fondazione per l’Arte Contemporanea, Milan among others. His work is
included in several museum collections such as the Smithsonian
American Art Museum, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, Brooklyn
Museum of Art, and Graphische Sammlung Albertina, Vienna. Rosenberg
lives and works in New York City.

17 (Sat.) - CONCERT: Glass Farm Ensemble (new music)
|

ELIZABETH HOFFMAN: Night Slices (2006) for piano
SERENATA
PER SATELLITO, by BRUNO MADERNA, is (paradoxically) the musical 'sun'
around which this program came together. Tonight's concert consists of
brief pieces that encapsulate metaphorically the idea of
satellites--small bodies in orbit that can arise in various ways , and
can even disappear. The Serenata was written in 1969, and is dedicated
to Umberto Montalenti who was at that time the director of the European
Space Center (Centro Operativo Europeo di Ricerca Spaziale). Maderna
imagined this piece as an homage to, or announcement of, the birth of a
satellite. There are two young composers on the program who are still
enrolled in studies, Clara Latham at New York University, and Johannes
Fankhauser at the Music Academy in Basel, Switzerland. They are part of
our new project to extend performance invitations to a handful of
student composers. Glass Farm solicited nominations from a few
established composers to select promising students to create new
compositions. The results this year are the two works for the ensemble
by Fankhauser and Latham.
JOHANNES FANKHAUSER turns to a rather
old formal device, a PASSACAGLIA, and casts it as an abstract satellite
into his creative system. The circular, orbital-like repetitions of the
passacaglia form are reimagined by him as a structure of shifting
valences. A listener travels in orbit, but moves sequentially, farther
or closer away to the planet.
CLARA LATHAM's work IN THE
EYE intriguingly considers negative space. In the context of this
program, her program note invites the mental conjuring of a black hole.
Latham's work, however, seems more about inversional meanings and the
'presence' of emptiness, than about the compression of space or
gravitational force per se. It is tied tightly to a visual sort of
creative catalyst.
Visual representation is essential, too, for
BRUNO MADDERNA, who realizes SERENATE PER UN SATELLITO, via a graphic
score that elegantly depicts twisted and warped staves in space. What
is the shape of this white space as it supports the printed notation?
And, as Latham's music might frame the question: how does the music
within it carve out and change the remaining silences in between?
ELIZABETH
HOFFMAN's quartet, EARTHLY OBJECTS, was named in response to the
Maderna theme. A bit remotely, the inner piece of the set propels the
program theme by way of contrast, situating a most ordinary reminder of
the here and now, but eliciting unusual sonic behavior from it. There
are carefully spaced flickering constellations of small events that
populate portions of all these pieces. And, a sense of negative space
is sometimes heard in the reflective remnants of the sonic shapes. In
NIGHT SLICES, there is no negative space at all, or, perhaps, it is all
negative space. One's sense of time passage and of sound in a space, is
surrealized, suspended.
JACOB TER VELDHUIS' piece BILLI embodies
an extreme disjunction from planetary movements in its non-atmospheric
realism. It is unique music, grasping at speech emulation. It is meant
to sound real, harsh, down to earth, even brutal at times. As a
metaphor for absolutely direct connectivity, i.e., very little
artifice, it is perhaps the substance of a satellite itself. Program
notes by Elizabeth Hoffman.
The Glass Farm Ensemble is supported by Pro Helvetia Arts Council of Switzerland.

|
8:00 pm ADMISSION: $20, $15 Seniors/Students Passion and Protest
The
SYLVAN WINDS, an integral part of New York City’s cultural offerings,
has earned both critical and audience acclaim for its spirited
performances and innovative programming, devoted to exploring the
literature of chamber music for wind instruments. It is the
only group of its kind to present an annual concert series in New York
City that was inaugurated at the historic Church of St. Luke
in-the-Fields in Greenwich Village. They recently celebrated
their 25th Anniversary of subscription concerts in New York City, and
have also appeared at Town Hall, Merkin Concert Hall and Symphony Space.
With
an established reputation as one of New York's most versatile chamber
music ensembles, the group has been hailed by the New York Times for
"…its venturesomeness of programming and stylishness of performance,"
and was chosen to perform at the Governor's Arts Awards.
They have also performed at the Cape & Islands and Caramoor

and, later, at The Juilliard School Pre-College Division, where he won
the school-wide concerto competition. He was also the recipient of the
Grand Prize from both the New York State and National American String
Teachers Association Competitions. Mr. Jacobsen studied with Josef
Gingold for two summers, and graduated in 1999 from The Juilliard
School, where he worked with Robert Mann. During the 2000-2001 season,
he continued his studies with Vera Beths at the Royal Conservatory of
the Hague.
Over the past few years, Colin Jacobsen has pursued a
varied career of solo and chamber music engagements. In addition to his
appearance with the New York Philharmonic, Mr. Jacobsen has been guest
soloist with the symphony orchestras of Albany, Charlotte, Eugene,
Rhode Island, Nashville, Charleston, the Metamorphosen Chamber
Orchestra, Santa Fe Pro Musica and the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra.
He has given recitals at Long Island University's Tilles Center for the
Performing Arts and the San Miguel de Allende Music Festival in Mexico.
At the School for Strings 25th anniversary celebration at Carnegie
Hall, Mr. Jacobsen gave the world premiere of Ellen Taafe Zwillich's
Partita for Violin and String Orchestra. Since making her
professional operatic debut at the age of eighteen, Sadie Rosales has
been an active performer in musical theater, opera, and concert
repertoire. Favorite roles include Suor Angelica, Donna Anna in
Don Giovanni, Magda in La Rondine, Elle in La Voix Humaine, the Female
Chorus in The Rape of Lucretia, and Laetitia in The Old Maid and the
Thief . When she was sixteen years old, Ms. Rosales was accepted into
the prestigious Young Artist Program at the Cleveland Institute of
Music, where she then remained to pursue her undergraduate degree. She
won several awards while in Cleveland including back-to-back
Encouragement Awards from the Metropolitan Opera Council, and the
Encouragement Award in the Lyric Opera Cleveland Voice
Competition. Upon graduation, she was awarded the Italo Tajo
Prize in Opera, the Max Berman Prize in Opera, and membership into the
Pi Kappa Lambda Honorary Music Society. Soon after, she was
personally invited by Pablo Elvira to sing her first Musetta to
his Marcello in La Boheme produced by Intermountain Opera. An active
concert performer, Ms. Rosales has made numerous appearances in New
York City as a soloist in Vivaldi’s Gloria, Haydn’s Dixit Dominus,
Ives' Celestial Country, Poulenc’s Gloria, and Charpentier’s Troisieme
Lecon. Also a champion of contemporary music, she has made appearances
in many festivals including the MATA Festival and the Look and Listen
Festival. Recently, she premiered Angler, David Fetherolf’s work
for Chamber Orchestra and Soprano with the Lost Dog Ensemble. Pianist
Benjamin Hochman is achieving widespread acclaim for his performances
as an orchestral soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician. Though only
in his mid-twenties, he is an imaginatively mature artist with an
innate ability to combine beauty of line within the overall shape of a
piece. The Washington Post praised his "flowing artistry" in a recital
at the National Gallery of Art and The Cincinnati Post wrote that he
"shone in his Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra debut" and had "a crystal
clear tone and articulation to match" performing Mozart's Piano
Concerto, K. 271 under Jaime Laredo in April 2006. After hearing
Benjamin Hochman at the Marlboro Festival, pianist Mitsuko Uchida
recommended him to conductor Zubin Mehta, resulting in his first
orchestral engagement with the Israel Philharmonic two seasons ago and
an immediate re-engagement with the orchestra for his Carnegie Hall
debut. Pinchas Zukerman has additionally invited him to perform and
tour with the Zukerman ChamberPlayers. Brooklyn
Rider is devoted to the exploration and expansion of the string quartet
literature. They have worked with composers such as Chen Yi, Osvaldo
Golijov, Dimitry Yanov-Yanovsky, Shirish Korde and Kayhan Kalhor and
have collaborated with such diverse figures as violinist Jenny
Scheinman, singer songwriter Christina Courtin, storyteller Ben
Haggerty and visual artist Kevork Mourad. Last November, Brooklyn Rider
helped to curate a week-long residency at National Public Radio’s
Performance Today. In an effort to engage audiences in innovative ways,
Brooklyn Rider often appears under the umbrella of outside initiatives
begun by all four members of the group. This past summer they
inaugurated the Stillwater Music Festival in Minnesota, offering
performances and master classes to the surrounding community. In 2003
violinist Johnny Gandelsman created In A Circle , a series of
performance events in Lower Manhattan that explore connections between
music and the visual arts. Brothers Colin and Eric Jacobsen are the
founders of The Knights, a chamber orchestra based in New York that has
recently appeared at Long Island’s Beethoven Festival and premiered
‘Harmony’ in collaboration with composer/violinist Mark O’Connor. The
quartet’s name is inspired in part by the creations, interests and
cross disciplinary visions of the Blue Rider group; an artistic
association comprised of Vassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, Arnold
Schoenberg and Alexander Scriabin, to name a few. The group draws
additional inspiration from the exploding array of cultures and
artisitic energy found in the borough of Brooklyn in New York City, a
place they also call home.
