Welcome to the
Sewanee Summer Music Festival
Dear Friends,
We offer: rentals, new and used
bicycles, full service, and all the
accoutrements that make your riding
experience the best riding
experience.
You can find us in Sewanee at: 90 Reed’s Lane (next to Shenanigan’s)

The Mountain is once again opening her arms to a host of great musicians,
artists who will open our ears, and students who will amaze us. Thank you for
joining us this month! For those of us who live here, the SSMF has become as
much a part of summer as the return of the hummingbirds, sweet local strawberries, and quiet evenings on our porches. Whether this is your first or 50th
summer with us, welcome!
It was Honoré de Balzac who described art as “Nature concentrated”
(Qu’est-ce que l’Art, monsieur? C’est la Nature concentrée.) It is a special role
of the SSMF to bring music and nature together. For many of our students
the intensive interaction with the outdoors here is new and eye-opening. Last
year at our Hike to a Concert, a young hornist told me she had never felt quite
so deeply in touch with her instrument as she did playing at Lake Cheston,
imagining her sounds blending into the landscape, absorbed by the air. The
goal of art is to help us understand who we are, and there is no more elevating
experience than seeing ourselves as a part of the great natural world. To bring
our music making into this glorious environment provides inspiration for our
students, and it is rich in meaning for all of us.
This summer we will continue our mission of studying and performing the best music of our past and present. We have built our Faculty Artist
Chamber Series around composers featured each week on our Cumberland
Orchestra and Sewanee Symphony concerts, to give us a more complete
profile of these amazing men and women. Paul Hindemith’s Symphonic
Metamorphosis reveals more to us when we have studied some of his many
smaller works. The Tchaikovsky Piano Trio is nearly a symphony in itself, for
just three players, and a wonderful pairing with his all-encompassing Fourth
Symphony. I hope you enjoy getting to know a few of our favorite composers
in this way.
We welcome a wonderful array of artists to the Mountain this summer, including cellist Joshua Roman and violinist Kathryn Eberle, both SSMF
alumni. All of our guest conductors are new to Sewanee this year, a decision
we made to widen our horizons (don’t worry—you’ll see some of your favorites
back next summer!) Most of our faculty are your old friends, so please come
and say hello to them! Anyway you care to experience the SSMF, we look
forward to getting to know you and to strengthening the bond of music that
enriches our great community.

SEWANEE SUMMER MUSIC FESTIVAL
T
he Sewanee Summer Music Festival is one
of the venerable summer music festivals in
the country. The immediate predecessor of
the SSMF was the remarkable, though short-lived,
Cumberland Forest Festival of 1950-51. The Cumberland Festival was directed by the distinguished
American composer Roy Harris, and was a joint
venture with George Peabody College in Nashville
(absorbed a quarter century later by Vanderbilt University). The Festival was intimate in size, but was
arguably the most exceptional gathering of musical
talent the Mountain has ever seen: in addition to
Harris, violinist Josef Gingold, violist Walter Trampler, and the old Viennese conductor Richard Lert
(who as a child had met Brahms) were on hand, as
well as—perhaps most notably—the brilliant young
conductor Lorin Maazel. The Festival seemed to
have a bright future. A radio contract with CBS
was in the offing. But Harris abruptly cancelled the
Festival shortly before the 1952 season was to
begin. According to Harris, he was unwilling to work
under the auspices of what was then a segregated
institution. (Documents in the University’s Archives
show that University officials at the time believed
this was a pretext and that Harris had grown tired of
the venture.)
After a six-year stillness on the Mountain, University Vice-Chancellor Edward McCrady stepped
forward to restore the program. McCrady had a
Jeffersonian range of interests. He was a scientist,
an architect of considerable skill, an administrator;
and, like Jefferson, an amateur violinist. McCrady
had visions of creating a musical utopia in Sewanee
when he resurrected the idea of a summer festival
in 1957, the first season of the present Sewanee
Summer Music Festival. Known then as the Sewanee Summer Music Center, the institute was
first closely allied with the Chattanooga Symphony.
Julius Hegyi, then conductor of the Chattanooga
Symphony, was the first director of SSMC.
Present at the creation was a young cellist of
extraordinary capacities named Martha McCrory. In
the early years, McCrory filled many roles: faculty
cellist, business manager, and recruiter, barnstorming her way across back roads in Alabama and
Georgia in search of students.
McCrory became executive director of the
center in 1963, and remained at this post for a remarkable tenure, retiring in 1998. During the 1960s,
the center expanded dramatically under McCrory’s
leadership; and by the end of that decade had more
or less assumed its present structure: two student
orchestras and a festival orchestra composed of
faculty and advanced students.
The present Festival continues the vision of
McCrory in its focus on student development and
its unique devotion to chamber music performance.
In 2000, McCrory was succeeded by Steven
Shrader, professor of music at the University, in
the office of Artistic Director. Pianist, conductor,
and musicologist, Shrader dubbed the program the
Sewanee Summer Music Festival, emphasizing the
great breadth of performances and high musical
standards he upheld for the institution. Following
Shrader, two notable conductors held terms as
Artistic Director: Victor Yampolsky, conductor at
Northwestern University (2005), and James Paul, of
the Oregon Festival of American Music and Oregon
Coast Festival, (2006-09).
In 2010 the Festival structure changed, with
Katherine Lehman, a violinist and professor at the
University, assuming the directorship. Emblematic
of Sewanee’s distinctive collaborative spirit, an
Artistic Advisory Committee of dedicated SSMF
faculty was formed to provide artistic guidance for
the program.

Joey Brink, Carillon
Joey Brink began his
carillon studies at Yale
University in 2007 with
Ellen Dickinson, and
became a carillonneur
member of the Guild of
Carillonneurs in North
America (GCNA) in
2011. In the same year,
Brink graduated from Yale with a bachelor of science in mechanical engineering.
Brink continued his carillon studies on a
Belgian-American Educational Foundation (BAEF)
fellowship with Eddy Marien, Koen Cosaert, and
Geert D’hollander at the Royal Carillon School
in Mechelen, Belgium, where he graduated with
“greatest distinction” in June 2012. Brink went
on to win first prize and audience prize at the 7th
International Queen Fabiola Carillon Competition in
Mechelen in June 2014.
Brink earned a masters in mechanical engineering from the University of Utah in collaboration
with NASA. He continues studies in carillon performance and composition with Geert D’hollander at
Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, Fla., as a Bok
Tower Carillon Fellow. Brink currently lives in Salt
Lake City, Utah, with his wife and carillonneur, Vera
Brink.
The Mobile Millennium Carillon
The Chime Master Mobile Millennium carillon is the
largest of three carillon instruments currently touring
North America. The Mobile Millennium brings the
carillon, traditionally a tower instrument, down to
ground level. Sensations of seeing the carillonneur
play, hearing the bells and feeling the vibration of
sound blend into a unique and dynamic musical
experience.
The carillon is composed of 48 bells, all of
which may be played automatically or manually
from an organ style keyboard. The 26,000-pound
carillon is transported in a weatherproof, illuminated
cabin. Prior to it’s appearance at the Sewanee
Summer Music Festival, the carillon was featured in
recital at St. Olaf’s College, Minn., and following the
festival, will travel to Ohio.

displaying what critics describe as
a “formidable technique...exciting
and energetic.” She performed with
the great American bass virtuoso
Edgar Meyer in series such as the
Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in Alice Tully Hall
and Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, as well as on NPR’s St.
Paul Sunday Morning and The Lonesome Pine Special.
Dorfman accompanied Meyer on his MCA recording “Work in
Progress.” In 2002, she and colleagues Carolyn Huebl and
Felix Wang established the Blakemore Trio, in residence at
the Blair School of Music.
Her students have been prize winners in state and
national divisions of MTNA competitions and have received
national awards. She is currently associate professor of piano
at The Blair School of Music at Vanderbilt University and a
guest artist and teacher at the Tennessee Governor’s School
for the Arts.
Amy I-Lin Cheng, piano
Born in Taiwan, Amy I-Lin Cheng
has been described by the New York
Concert Review as a pianist whose
“control of the keyboard is complete,
technique easy and relaxed, with a
wide range of touch.” Pianist Claude
Frank describes her as “a brilliant,
sensitive, imaginative and most beguiling pianist.” She has performed as a soloist and chamber
musician across the United States and abroad, appearing at
venues such as the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, Merkin Concert Hall in New York City, Weill Recital Hall in
Carnegie Hall, and National Concert Hall in Taipei.
Cheng concertizes extensively with husband and clarinetist Chad Burrow as Duo Clarion, receiving critical acclaim
