Something Old,
Something
New…
It’s back to school, and along
with a record number of over 400
new and returning students, several
new faculty members have joined
the roster. Cellist Jennifer Culp, on faculty since
1995, returns after a hiatus touring with Kronos
Quartet. At the opposite end of the style spectrum
is newly appointed baroque cellist and gambist
Elisabeth Reed. What drives a musician to one
extreme or the other?
asked them about
their musical inclinations.
What drew you to specialize in your particular
style of music?
Culp: Since my teenage years, I have been drawn to
the exciting and creative process of working with living
composers and being part of those first performances.
However, I did not work exclusively with new music until
joining Kronos Quartet in 1998. Playing an intense amount
of new and unusual repertoire for seven years has given me
a new perspective on the older music.
Reed: My mother is a pianist and, when I was
about 11, she built herself a harpsichord from
a kit. She and her colleagues would sometimes
let me play bass lines with them, which I
enjoyed immensely. When I was in high school,
a performance of the St. Matthew Passion on
period instruments directed by Joshua Rifkin
moved me so much that I couldn’t go to sleep
that night. In my undergraduate years at
Summer Music West returns!
After a one year hiatus, the
Conservatory’s summer program
for young musicians returned
with great success. Thirty-five
students came from across the
United States and as far as France,
Sweden and The Netherlands to
study Gilbert & Sullivan scenes,

FALL 2007 A Message from the President
Faculty News
In Brief
As I write this letter for this first issue
of
, I do so with vivid memories
of our first year at 50 Oak Street, and
eager anticipation of a brilliant future
for the Conservatory in its beautiful
new home.
It hardly seems possible that we were
literally moving in last year at this
time. We were barely unpacked when
new students arrived for orientation.
And yet, as the year went forth, we
settled into the rhythm of our new
home and, with the generous patience
and support of students and colleagues
alike, we arrived at Commencement
last May fully settled into our life in
the Civic Center.
Last year’s enrollment set a record,
and we anticipate yet another record
this fall semester. From across the
country and around the world we are
hearing the buzz of our new building.
It is clear to us that the Conservatory
has become an even more desirable
destination for music students than
ever before.
50 Oak Street was made possible
by more than one thousand people
whose generosity helped us fulfill
the dream. Again I offer, on behalf
of all of us at the Conservatory, our
deep appreciation. And I extend a
welcoming invitation to join us at
any of the hundreds of performances
that we will present during academic
year 2007-2008.
Colin Murdoch
David Conte wrote the music to
the American Masters Series T.V.
documentary Orozco: Man of Fire.
The story about Mexican muralist
Jose Clemente Orzco, narrated by
Anjelica Huston, aired on PBS in
mid-September. The documentary
screened at the DeYoung Museum in
San Francisco at the end of September.
Catherine Cook performed Annina in
Der Rosenkavalier with San Francisco
Opera this summer. She also sang
as soloist with the San Francisco
Symphony in the “Summer in
the City” series in De Falla’s Three
Cornered Hat under the baton of
James Gaffigan. She was on the
faculty at Rising Star Singers, which
is an audition training program for
young singers.
Paul Hersh joined the faculty at
the Kneisel Hall Chamber Music
School in Maine this summer. The
festival provides an environment for
serious chamber music students,
who receive coaching and perform in
recitals along with their mentors. On
the other coast, at the Olympic Music
Festival in Seattle, Mr. Hersh played
two all-Dvǒrák recitals with former
Conservatory Prep student, violinist
Amy Schwarz Moretti. His solo
appearances included a Beethoven
recital in New York at the Caramoor
Center for Music and the Arts, where
he will return in October to present a
lecture/recital on Beethoven.
Mack McCray has been invited to
perform and teach master classes at
the Fourth International Piano Festival
of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music
in early October. This is just one
stop for McCray as he accompanies

The Ives Quartet, with faculty
members violinist Bettina Mussumeli
and violist Jodi Levitz, has made its
recording debut on the Naxos label,
releasing a disc of the Quincy Porter
String Quartets 1-4 in August. The disc
has received outstanding reviews: “The
Ives Quartet plays each piece with
fluency and confidence…They have a
wonderful homogeneity of sound and
expression which brings out many
nuances in compositions that, in lesser
hands, may otherwise all sound the
same,” Sequenza21.com, Aug. 24. The
CD is available at www.ivesquartet.org.
Bryan Nies conducted Bizet’s Carmen
with Festival Opera of Walnut Creek,
California in July. Critic Georgia Rowe
called his musical direction, “superb,”
and Nies, “undeniably a talent to watch.” He will be conducting performances
of Oklahoma at the Castro Valley
Arts Center and assistant conducting
Massenet’s Werther with Opera
San Jose this fall. Gyan Riley’s song cycle The Wane
of More, for soprano and septet, was
premiered at Carnegie Hall in April. He
recently received a commission from
the San Francisco Foundation to write a
piece for the Paul Dresher Ensemble for
premiere in 2008. Mr. Riley joined the
Conservatory’s guitar faculty this fall.
New Head
Librarian
Faculty News
(continued from page1)
Oberlin Conservatory there were lots
of opportunities to hear and study
early music. They have an excellent
faculty and a great collection of period
instruments available to the students.
What musical skills and personality
traits help someone master a
specific style of music?
Culp: I would have to say that a solid
classical training serves just about any
style well. An open mind, unrelenting
commitment, and an outstanding sense
of humor serve new music well. I have
found solutions for unplayable passages
with an openness to explore the unusual
path. Whatever style or genre of music
one performs, the passion and commitment are crucial to telling a story.
The Conservatory is pleased to
welcome Kevin McLaughlin as
Head Librarian. Mr. McLaughlin
brings to the Conservatory his
extensive experience as a musician,
educator and librarian. “I view the
library with a performer’s eye in looking
for ways to make improvements. My
approach is to serve this community
of performers in a practical way,
being sensitive to the timing of
circulation to make the materials
accessible when they’re needed.”
Mr. McLaughlin has been active as
a trumpet player, having worked
professionally in Vienna, Los Angeles,
and the Twin Cities. He received his
M.M. from Yale University and
D.M.A. from the University of
Minnesota. He discovered his aptitude
for library work at the St. Paul (MN)
Chamber Orchestra, and subsequently
earned a Master of Library and
Information Science degree from
the University of Washington. Before
coming to the Conservatory in June,
Mr. McLaughlin served for five years
as the Performing Arts Librarian at
the California Institute of the Arts.
Reed: Early Music is a pretty broad term.
For instance, I play music on period
instruments from the Renaissance to
the early Romantic period. An interest
in historical context is important in all
of this music. I find it liberating to think
about what the composer would have
heard and what his musical priorities
might have been. I particularly enjoy
playing continuo (bass lines) in Baroque
music, because of the supportive and yet
essential role they play in the music.
Often, the instrumentalist must be
as experimental and inventive as the
composer in order to achieve the desired
result. As an example, I purchased nine
different guitar picks for locomotive
sounds in a Harry Partch piece. Then
there was the search for the most
resonant pencil to replace a bow, and a
glass bottleneck for fingerboard sliding...
Should I go on?
Reed: In historical performances, we
use vibrato as an ornament rather
than as a consistent part of the sound.
Musical expression comes largely from
the use of the bow; gut strings allow for
a different range of dynamics and bow
speeds than steel strings do. Historical
performance involves playing at
different pitch centers and in different
temperaments. This requires a flexible
way of listening and hearing.
When would students have to
choose a specialization?
Culp: I wonder if specialization may be
something of the past? Students should
be ready for any and everything related
to their musical world. Contemporary
music, in all of its various guises, is one
important part of that journey.
Reed: I don’t think students have to
Speak a bit about the different
approaches to the instrument that
one must take.
Culp: For me, it is so important to have
a willingness to tackle new challenges.
choose to specialize at any time. I think
early music and “modern” studies can
complement and enhance each other.
Students should specialize if and when
that style of playing draws them in.
The Conservatory also welcomes
to the faculty this fall: Sarah Cahill,
keyboard literature; Gyan Riley,
guitar; Rose Theresa, music history
and literature; and San Francisco

Student News
Ben Jones
Congratulations to graduate student
Ben Jones on his appointment as
Concert Orchestra Conductor for the
San Jose Youth Symphony. Although Mr.
Jones studies voice at the Conservatory,
he has extensive instrumental training
from his youth when he performed
as principal cellist and as principal
hornist with the Central Illinois Youth
Symphony, and as a trumpeter with
the Peoria Jazz All-Stars. Mr. Jones has
been working with students at Presidio
Middle School through the Conservatory
in the Schools program for the past
year. He says this experience “was the
major thing that fully prepared me for
the sort of ‘macro-pedagogy’ that I face
as a conductor for kids. I’m always
strapped for time with the individuals
in the orchestra, but I constantly find
new ways of helping a section overcome
I-Wen Wang received a scholarship to
attend the Paris Piano Program at Ecolè
Normalè de Musiquè de Paris, which
culminated in a recital at the prestigious
Salle Cortot concert hall. Ms. Wang is a
student of Mack McCray.
Sophmore Emma McNairy participated
in the Austrian American Mozart
Academy for six weeks in Salzburg
where she sang the role of Adele in a full
German production of Die Fledermaus.
She gained tremendous confidence in
the past year at the Conservatory that
she brought with her to the Academy.
“The wide variety of ensembles we
perform in, even as freshmen, constantly
keep us on top of ‘our game’ while still
in a safe environment to try new things.”
Ms. McNairy studies with Pamela Fry.
During his second season performing
with the Carmel Bach Festival (CA),
violinist Edwin Huizinga received
the call on a Monday night. Would he
stand in for acclaimed baroque violinist
Elizabeth Wallfish as solo violin in
Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 4
the following night? It was a chance
worth taking. The Monterey Herald
wrote: “Violinist Edwin Huizinga, age
24, displayed star quality and magic
in his virtuosic solo, a moment that
clearly thrilled both the audience and
his colleagues in the orchestra.” Mr.
Huizinga also performed a chamber
recital with renowned tenors Alan
Bennett and Benjamin Butterfield. He
studies with Axel Strauss.
Lo-An lin
Lo-An Lin, 18-yr. old piano student
of Yoshikazu Nagai, just became the
first woman to win the prestigious
Lev Vlassenko Piano Competition
in Queensland, Australia. She won
the first prize, the concerto prize, the
people’s choice prize and the prize
for best performance of an Australian
work, all with hefty cash awards. This,
on the heels of her 2nd Prize and
Special Chopin Prize victories (for best
performance of a Chopin work) at the
2007 Kosciuszko Foundation National
Chopin Piano Competition, in New York
City in April. Go Lo-An!
Musical Outreach
A group of four students from American
Samoa came to the Conservatory for
two weeks this July to study piano
with Preparatory Division Director
John McCarthy, participate in selected
Summer Music West activities and finally
showcase what they learned in a recital.
The middle and high school students
attend Dancing Fingers Piano School in
the capital city of Pago Pago, founded
by their mentor Poe Mageo. Mr. Mageo
described the sounds of Western music
as being foreign on their home island,
where percussion instruments such as
the pate (a hollowed-out log) and the
fala (a rolled-up mat, beaten with sticks)
and string instruments like the ukulele
and guitar are traditional. “Samoan
music relies on improvising and not
necessarily reading music,” says Poe.
“My students have learned to enjoy
Bach and Mozart, and are bringing this
music to our whole community. This
experience at the Conservatory deepened
their appreciation and skills, and we
are taking home an intangible gift.”
The World is Marnie’s Town
Conservatory alumna Marnie Breckenridge
(M.M. voice, ’96) dazzled the Bay Area in the
Alumni News

of Ned Rorem’s Our Town in
August. Critics praised her “soaring,
crystalline delivery” and applauded
her “consistently flawless” and
“vocally brilliant” performance.
a Conservatory faculty member,
conducted the premiere with what
the San Francisco Chronicle called
“sympathetic urgency.”
Overseas, Ms. Breckenridge’s
career has taken off, with recent
engagements with the Prague State
Opera, Moscow Chamber Orchestra,
Israel Vocal Arts Institute and
Brazilian Opera Society. Her busy
fall schedule will include performing
Pamina in The Magic Flute with
Indianapolis Opera among other
projects. She cites her Conservatory
training as the foundation for her
growing success. Voice faculty
Kathryn Cathcart and Willene Gunn
“gave me a sense of what really
happens in an opera production and
how to prepare. They pushed me to
my limits and encouraged me,” says
Breckenridge. She maintains her
studies with Jane Randolph.
No stranger to premiering new
works, Ms. Breckenridge performed
in Berkeley Opera’s 2006 world
premiere of Clark Suprynowicz’s
sci-fi chamber opera Chyrsalis. She
enjoys the challenge of working on
a premiere: “The music is tricky
to convey because it’s not in the
consciousness of the world—the
public hasn’t been listening to it
over the years like the well-known
operas,” she says. Festival Opera
of Walnut Creek was one of six cocommissioning companies for Our
Town, based on the play by Thornton
Wilder. Festival Opera Artistic and

for her performance; “Her singing was
luxuriant and clear… Her technique
was impeccable, marked by splendid
intonation and rhythmic exactitude.”
