Something Old, Something New… Summer Music West returns!

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, (continued on page 3) Welcome to , the new fall newsletter!

INSIDE > > >2 President’s Message Faculty News Student News Alumni News Corporate Council Thanks to our Donors Faculty and Board 3 4 5 6 8 14 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 Admission Director Alexander Brose and President Colin Murdoch on a goodwill tour of China. www.shpianomusic.com 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 Symphony members trumpeter Jeffery Biancalana, brass chamber music; Scott Pingel (pictured right), double bass; Douglas Rioth (pictured left), harp; and violist Adam Smyla, orchestral training. FALL 2007 the challenges of orchestral repertoire during a rehearsal, engaging the rest of the orchestra at the same time.” Mr. Jones studies voice with Cesar Ulloa, piano with Alla Gladysheva and conducting with Michael Morgan. 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 lead role in the West Coast premiere 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 Music Director Michael Morgan, In The Spotlight Frank Wallace (M.M. guitar, ’74) Uri Wassertzug (M.M. chamber was appointed artistic director of the Boston Classical Guitar Society. He is also working on two recordings for his label, Gyre. Syzygy, diary of an artist is a song cycle for mezzo-soprano and guitar.

He will join the faculty at George Washington University this fall, teaching viola, violin, and chamber music. Lynne Aspnes (M.M. harp, ’77) was named associate dean of the Herberger College of the Arts at Arizona State University. This newly-created position combines Ms. Aspnes’s eight years experience as associate dean at the University of Michigan with her national stature as a harp professor and performer. She also joins the faculty as professor of music. Ian Dicke (B.M. composition, ’04) was selected as one of three featured composers at the Cabrillo Music Festival’s conductor workshop, directed by Marin Alsop. His piece, Wind-Up was premiered on August 1 by the Cabrillo Festival Orchestra. Mr. Dicke’s current composition projects include a work for cello and electronics and a large scale piano piece. www.iandicke.com Lise Lindstrom (M.M. voice, ’96) made her debut with the San Francisco Symphony as a featured soloist for their European tour farewell concert, singing the final scene from Richard Strauss’s Salome. Joshua Kosman of the San Francisco Chronicle was full of praise for her performance; “Her singing was luxuriant and clear… Her technique was impeccable, marked by splendid intonation and rhythmic exactitude.” FALL 2007 Join Us!
