As the director of the Department of Arts and Culture of the City of Munich, I appreciate, naturally, that a new music conference called Classical:NEXT has been initiated here in our city. Many renowned participants contribute to Munich‘s reputation as a metropolis of first-class classical music: of the seven professional orchestras in our city, four are internationally ranked among the best – from the Münchner Philharmoniker to the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks and the Bayerische Staatsorchester to the Münchener Kammerorchester. The Staatsoper and the ARD International Music Competition are famous across the globe. The top-class spectrum of concerts is supplemented by, among others, private organizations and the Bayerischer Rundfunk. Special mention in the area of contemporary classical music should be given in particular to the international music theater festival Munich Biennale and the musica viva. The Hochschule für Musik und Theater is one of the most venerable educational institutions, and the music library at the Gasteig Cultural Center is the largest public institute of its kind in Germany. And the more than 70 labels with offices in Munich and the surrounding area make an essential contribution with their publications to the development and presence of new musical trends here. Dear visitors to the music conference, perhaps you will also find the time, in addition to your networking activities, to enjoy the multifaceted cultural life in our city. I would especially recommend the two evening events Classical Next Level in the clubs Harry Klein and Bob Beaman. To find out more and to discuss advertising opportunities, contact Tom Drew [email protected] * Jan-Dec 2011 42,735 +44 1179 338043 I wish all of the participants as well as the organizers of Classical:NEXT a successful conference. 13 F I R S T W OR D / GR E E T I N G S Over 42,000 copies sold every issue* Dr. Hans-Georg Küppers, Director of the Department of Arts and Culture, City of Munich © Alessandra Schellnegger The world’s best-selling classical music magazine Foreword “New Brooms Sweep Best” We proudly present three new productions starring CECILIA BARTOLI ”New brooms sweep best“ an old proverb says. And no doubt about it: against the background of dramatically changing markets, rapid technological development, ever-changing production conditions and shifting reception of classical music, there is a clear need for us to do our own tidying up and renovation work, despite the “spring cleaning” already taking place throughout the industry. Dr. Rainer Kahleyss Editor and distributor www.class-germany.de Classical labels, producers, sound engineers, distributors and technology partners have teamed up to form CLASS – the Association for Classical Independents. Together with artists, journalists, agencies and classical enthusiasts, we‘ve recognised this need. We‘ve long been on the lookout for new tools to complete the task. We are therefore very pleased to have found the tireless team of WOMEX and the interested partners from the city of Munich that provide not only new brooms, but also the rooms. The cultural spaces of Gasteig are a most appropriate location for sweeping and tending to even the most isolated and hard-to-reach niches of classical‘s varied structure.

The Department of Arts and Culture of the City of Munich was enthusiastic and supportive of the concept from the very start.

This new international professionals forum for classical and art music was born of necessity. Up to now, the classical music community has been fragmented: early or contemporary; traditional or experimental; live or recorded; institutions, associations or independent individuals. These groupings meet separately at their own conferences or at events dedicated to a particular musical approach or era. The need for an event dedicated to the entire community has become increasingly apparent. United, we can become a force for positive energy and evolution: celebrating the past, working in the present, looking to the future. 17 F I R S T W OR D / GR E E T I N G S Come together, survive and thrive at Classical:NEXT Das Magazin für klassische Musik & Lebensart Klassik lesen & hören crescendo ist das Magazin für klassische Musik & Lebensart.

If you want to travel within Germany you can use the Deutsche Bahn. The MVV includes buses, trams, the S-Bahn and the U-Bahn, and you can use all elements of public transport with the same ticket. You can buy individual, group, day and weekly tickets. Public transport operates with a limited service from 2am to 5am. Additionally, there are nightbuses and night trams that run at intervals of about 30 minutes all night on Fridays and Saturdays. The MVV area is divided into several zones: one in the center and three in the outskirts. A day ticket is worth buying if you plan to take more than two trips on the same day. All tickets, except for weekly tickets, must be stamped to be valid. Stamping machines are found at the entrance to the S-Bahn or U-Bahn platforms, and inside buses and trams.

It is the product of a partnership between New Directions, the Luleå University of Technology/ KKL, and Studio Acusticum, merging music, education, technology and research. This is a creative environment for music to grow and flourish. Collaborations are encouraged, providing opportunities for the crossfertilisation of different artistic media. The center is envisaged as an international platform for music creators, musicians, students, researchers. It offers the latest advances in sound, acoustic research and a state-of-the-art concert hall. The public can access several modern concert rooms with the latest technology, and facilities for transmitting live broadcasts via a direct link from the Acusticum area (Digital Live Arena). Founded in 1984, Divox set off in 1990 with the vision, to discover and promote emerging chamber music artists and to bring outstanding music into the world. We started to release selected recordings in audiophile quality with young and talented musicians from all over the world while contributing at the same time to the enlargement of chamber music repertory. Every new release is a ”déclaration d‘amour”, to specific aspects of chamber music as well to the artists. The state-of-the-art recording technique underlines our commitment to the artists and their interpretations. With six to eight recordings released a year, every CD/SACD/BD stands for mindfulness and exceptional qualities of the presented artist and the repertoire. Since 2002 Divox has contributed strongly to develop the three-dimensional music reproduction System AUROPHONIE (www.auro-3d.com), formerly 2+2+2. Discover the passion of chamber music and share it! Several professional ensembles are associated with the center, including Norrbotten NEO, Norrbotten Big Band and Piteå Chamber Opera, as well as youth initiatives such as the Arctic Light girls’ choir. Collaborations include Erik Westberg Vocal Ensemble, which is affiliated with the university. This autumn sees the official opening of the Acusticum studio’s new concert house organ.

Preiser & Co GmbH Schläfer, Heinrich Videoland – Medienvertriebs GesmbH “Music to carress your soul” Johannes R. Köhler If there are still classic-romantic composers nowadays, then Johannes R. Köhler is one of them. His music is not constructed, but consists of melodies and emotions which take a musical form. With the large velvety string orchestral sound of the Munich Symphonic Orchestra, he uses these emotions in his “music to be caressed by”. This musical language of the soul opens up a whole new world of sensation for the listener. The music is used successfully in many areas of medical therapy and it is a “closely sounding medicine” for the soul – if you can find no rest – if you are depressed about your illness – if you can not cope with your grief – if you are looking for security – if you are sickened by your environment – if you can not sleep – if you are burdened by stress – if you´re annoyed when driving – if you want to reassure your children – if you are in love – if you just do not know how you should carry on… and many others. ® Musik zum Streicheln – Johannes R.

The international and diverse orientation of Classical:NEXT is highlighted by the wide range of speakers and topics at the Classical:NEXT conference. Bearing the international aspect of the conference in mind, all formats will be presented in English. Conference Sessions The Classical:NEXT conference will discuss the state of the art, today‘s challenges and the future potential of classical music. At the heart of the conference are the jury-selected conference sessions, focusing on the following areas: NEXT:Income – new markets and the future of funding and financing NEXT:Generation – future listeners and audience engagement NEXT:Technology – new methods for new challenges NEXT:Sound – new music, new formats, sonic influences and inspirations Renewal through folk and popular music Presented by Dr. Alan Bern (USA/Germany) Artistic Director, The Other Europeans Mentoring Sessions Mentoring sessions offer individual, free consultations with experienced colleagues from a wide variety of fields. Networking Meetings and Presentations Classical:NEXT offers professional, international networks a platform for their meetings and the chance to get together, brainstorm, discuss, develop ideas and welcome potential future members. Presentations can be booked by any delegate wishing to introduce a particular topic to the Classical:NEXT audience. Biographies There is a short biography of each Classical:NEXT conference speaker and mentor at the very end of this chapter. All Classical:NEXT conference rooms are at Gasteig: Throughout history, classical music has been revitalized by the sounds and techniques of folk and popular music. In Eastern Europe, klezmer (Yiddish) and lautar (Roma) urban professional musicians created a music of unmatched virtuosity and nuance that inspired composers from Liszt, Bartok, Kodaly and Enescu to Golijov and Zorn. But for many audiences, performers and composers today, the original sources of inspiration are often unknown – and fascinating to discover. The Other Europeans, born of an EU-funded music ethnography project, is dedicated to uncovering these sources and renewing a centuries-old musical partnership that was cut short by the Holocaust. This music opens new horizons for audiences and musicians alike, exemplifying the ongoing creative fermentation between classical, folk and popular music. Dr. Alan Bern, creator and artistic director of The Other Europeans, will lecture on the subject while providing musical examples. NEXT:Sound Conference Sessions – Black Box Mentoring Sessions – Foyer Carl-Orff-Saal Gallery Networking Meetings – VHS Vortragssaal (EG 0117) Presentations – Black Box 76 77 The present and future of classical music journalism and media Chaired by Carsten Dürer (Germany), Editor in Chief, PIANONews & ENSEMBLE with Oliver Condy (UK), Editor, BBC Music Magazine; Jessica Duchen (UK), Music journalist, The Independent Journalism and the media have undergone radical changes in recent years and will continue to do so in the future. What is the current situation? What can we expect from classical music journalists at a time when the landscape has shifted towards PR-media and Internet platforms? These are vital questions which require answers. Otherwise we risk losing the most important resource we have: our listeners, who also constitute the readership for classical music publications.

Designing for Changing Audiences Copyright Extension for Phonograms Exploring the variety of modern music genres in the context of film Funding your next music project in the 21st century Chaired by Matthias Keller (Germany), Radio producer/editor, BR Bavarian Broadcasting Chaired by Steven Walter (USA/Germany), Artistic Director, PODIUM Festival Esslingen with Laura Berman (USA/Germany), Artistic Director, Art of Our Times, Bregenzer Festspiele; Christian Heyne (Germany), Composer, producer, Chris Heyne/Listen And See with Robert Douglass (USA/Germany), Director, Open Goldberg Variations For many people, contemporary music evokes atonal, unstructured sounds that are difficult to listen to or reserved for exclusive circles. Yet the same musical content often appears in film scores which mix a wide variety of styles and genres. This session outlines possible ways to push contemporary music forward – with film music as a vehicle – to find a wider audience. It also explores whether such an approach is attractive to concert halls and promoters and whether it does justice to the contemporary music scene overall. NEXT:Generation What is the future for music venues? Presented by Rob Harris (UK), Director, Arup, Arts & Culture Business Leader, UKMEA Music has always been a phenomenon associated with communities of socially and aesthetically like-minded people. In order to adapt to rapid changes in society, taste, and technology, the classical music industry needs to nourish dynamic and passionate communities around the art form. This session addresses the opportunities and challenges in community-building as ushered in by new technologies such as social networking and crowd-funding websites like Kickstarter.com. In addition to crowd-funding, we will discuss the importance of open formats, audience development and transnational networks (social media). Join us to learn about practical examples, thought-provoking theories, and experience inspiring showcases based on the speakers’ successful experiences with the PODIUM Festival (Steven Walter) and “Open Goldberg Variations” (Robert Douglass). Can we afford more of the kinds of music venues we have built in the past? What is sustainable fiscally, environmentally and programmatically? If we can afford them, will they attract audiences (and performers) and provide the ever-evolving experiences that people expect? Concentrating on the next generation of concert attendees, this talk will mainly examine the physical facilities and buildings that we need and how these relate to a comprehensive (physical and digital) experience. Rob will suggest that the need for such an experience is not primarily passive, as it is at present, but rather interactive and participatory. NEXT:Generation NEXT:Income The consequences for performers and record companies Chaired by Prof. Dr. Stefan Pennartz (Germany), Lawyer, Schoepe Fette Pennartz Reinke, Lawyers for Culture and Entertainment with Barbara Wunderlich (Germany), Director, Wunderlich Medien; Paul Janse (The Netherlands), Chief of Sales and Marketing, Codaex International In 2011, an EU Directive (EU Directive 2011/77/EU) extended the copyright terms for performers and producers of recordings for all license agreements, including buy-outs. Under this new legislation, all recordings which are still protected on 1st November 2013 will receive an additional 20 years of copyright protection. The conference will debate the consequences and implications of this copyright extension for composers and labels, drawing on the perspectives of a composer, a lawyer and a label representative. It will explore how performers – or their beneficiaries – and record companies should deal with the situation and how it may transfer to EU legislation.

On the other hand, digitalization could be perceived as a threat to the unique live experience of a performance on stage, and some critics are already foreseeing the end of performing arts in an age of digital reproduction. Two case studies exemplify the opportunities and risks of Internet technologies and social media for cultural institutions: Anna Kleeblatt, Head of Sales and Marketing at the Bavarian State Opera, will describe activities in direct marketing and social media at a leading opera house; Christopher Gruits, Director of e-Strategy at Carnegie Hall, will illustrate the digital content strategies of one of the world’s most prominent concert halls. NEXT:Technology James Jolly (UK), Editor in Chief, Gramophone Chaired by Matthias Schneider (Germany), Music Manager, schneider+ music management and consulting with Kai-Michael Hartig (Germany), Head of Culture Department, Körber-Foundation, Hamburg; Christian Kellersmann (Germany), Managing Director of Classics & Jazz, Universal Music Classics & Jazz Classical music is increasingly conquering new venues, moving beyond traditional locations to alternative venues such as bars and clubs, attracting younger audiences in the process. In turn, electronic musicians have increasingly penetrated classical concert halls. The cross-fertilization of classical and electronic music can be found in event series such as the Yellow Lounge or recorded music series such as Recomposed, initiated by Deutsche Grammophon’s Christian Kellersmann. The Elbphilharmonie Hamburg’s concert series ePhil, supported by the cultural department of the KörberStiftung under Kai-Michael Hartig, represents yet another example. Classic goes club – just a flash in the pan or a foretaste of the future? What new opportunities does the opening of the classical world bring for the music market as well as for composers and musicians? Christian Kellersmann and Kai-Michael Hartig will discuss the issue with music agent Matthias Schneider. In the past three or four decades the classical music landscape has shifted dramatically. The independent sector is strong, dynamic and full of imagination, and those qualities are strengthening every year. The major companies, often indebted to capital venture companies and boards who are no longer seeing the strong return from their pop and rock acts, are having to embrace a very different business model, and because of their relative size lack the nimbleness of their independent competitors. Are we now living in a world where the two industries have diverged to such an extent that they no longer operate in the same field? > Showcases/Opening & Closing Closing NEXT:Sound 80 81 CONFERENCE / SESSIONS Friday 15:00 – 15:45 Session 7 : Black Box Mentoring Sessions A – Z Thursday 13:30 – 15:00 : Foyer Carl-Orff-Saal Gallery Kathleen Alder (Germany) Founder and Managing Director, WildKat PR www.wildkatpr.com Topic: PR and Social Media Tools © Ben Wright Penny King (UK) Senior Officer, Dance and Music, Arts Council England www.artscouncil.org.uk Topic: Public Funding & Touring Structures in the UK Philip Krippendorff (USA/Germany) Senior PR Consultant, artefakt Classica www.artefakt-berlin.de/artefakt-classica.html Topic: How to Get Classical Music into the Media Michaela Ludyk (Germany) General Manager, Monogenuss Records / Andy K.

The overall benefit: the music lover is no longer fixed to one place in the listening room: you can be absolutely free and move within your private concert hall, chamber music room or cathedral... Up to now, film industries have used 5.1 Surround Sound that physically reproduces a two dimensional sound image. It definitely does a good job, but in one place only: the so-called ”sweet spot“. Now film industries are about to move into threedimensional film and sound reproduction with up to 10.2 channels or more. Will this be the future for music reproduction at home? MDG needs only one step to reach the sound of the near future. With eight channels only that can simply be provided by Blue-ray or in digital download. So complete the 2+2+2 System with another pair of elevated rear loudspeakers and the result is 2222+ Recording. Come, listen, hear and discuss the difference in this presentation. but the preservation of fire!“ (Gustav Mahler) CLASS Break Through into a New Dimension... in German s t y en Thursday 17:00 – 18:00 VHS Vortragssaal (EG 0117) al Indep e nd sic Thursday 15:00 – 16:00 VHS Vortragssaal (EG 0117) as Thursday & Friday 13:00 – 14:00 Presentation : Black Box As C o nfe r ence / N etw o r kin g M eetin g s & P r esentati o ns Get together, brainstorm, discuss, develop.

In a big apartment in Frogner, Oslo, Norway, a couple argues and fights about their relationship. Boxes with separate belongings have already been outside the flat. Their neighbour is a lonesome pianist, annoyed by the couple’s endless quarrels. He plays the piano, Leos Janáček’s In the Mists. The sound penetrates through the walls. Slowly, the couple unconsciously succumbs to the influence of the music and ends up ceasing to fight and resolving their argument, and maybe unpacking the boxes again. Ass.

The music is sublime. Not even a pin would dare drop. Suddenly, a cell phone rings and the madness starts. The pianist loses his hand; the violinist, while tuning, falls asleep and later wakes up in the middle of a motorway, transformed into a ”River Dancer“. When the pianist returns, the piano is locked, telling him to insert his credit card. These and many other ”nightmares” unfold before audiences‘ eyes. A Little Nightmare Music is a unique show, full of virtuosity, enchanting music and zany, outrageous humour.

And much of its rousing, bounding spirit is due to Vesselina Kasarova, one of the greatest mezzos of our time. As Sesto she clearly dominates the stage, infusing each expression and gesture, every note and coloratura, with breath-taking vitality. Kasarova is surrounded by so many high-caliber colleagues that the result is a feast for the ears and the eyes. As the scheming Vitellia, Eva Mei lets not only the ambitiousness of a proud princess but also the stinging humiliation of a wronged woman reverberate in her coloraturas. Jonas Kaufmann endows his sonorous Tito with depth and reflectiveness. Director Jonathan Miller focuses almost exclusively on the inner life of the characters, a concept reinforced by the subtle musical accompaniment of conductor Franz Welser-Möst.

In analogy to the forum’s name, the opening will present a program commemorating the long and hallowed tradition of Western art music – the conditio sine qua non of “Classical” – while the closing will place emphasis on the “NEXT” generation of classical music making with modern works and novel approaches. Florian Uhlig, described by the Sunday Tribune as an “involved, daring and high-voltage pianist” interprets short works by two of the undisputed greats of the romantic era, Schumann and Beethoven. In addition, Dutch mezzo-soprano Barbara Kozelj and Swiss pianist Jan Schultsz are to perform selections from the song cycle Sanges-Frühling by Swiss composer Joseph Joachim Raff, a prolific yet often overlooked contemporary of Liszt and Schumann. The opening’s repertoire hence ranges from baroque to late romantic, presented in the traditional manner: using voice or acoustic instrument, playing from a concert hall stage directly to a live audience – a timeproven method for conveying a musical message to the public. Today however, the venerated musical tradition of classical takes on a new, additional role: its refined and delicate sound offers a space and emphasizes the importance of a virtue often marginalized nowadays – sincere and focused listening. The opening concert also commemorates two groups which have been instrumental in bringing the initiative that is Classical:NEXT to life: CLASS, the Association for Classical Independents in Germany and our initiating partners, and Naxos, who signed on to this fledgling project at the outset, entrusting Classical:NEXT with their 25th anniversary, encouraging their international network to come to Munich. On Wednesday, Tianwa Yang, born in Beijing, based in Germany and described by the American Record Guide as “an unquestioned master of the violin”, will perform a sonata by the Belgian “King of the Violin” Eugène Ysaÿe. Antonio Soler and J. S. Bach will come from pianist Eldar Nebolsin, born in Uzbekistan, trained in Madrid and called the “Sviatoslav Richter” of his generation. The closing concert conjures up the second half of this forum’s name, ”NEXT“, a word which looks to innovation and to what is yet to come. Our host city of Munich is also represented on the program with two performances. The concert opens with works from an artist placed inarguably at the forefront of the 20th century avant-garde, John Cage, who has been the center of attention at numerous events in this, the centennial year of his birth. These are performed by a professor of the University for Music and Theater in Munich, Moritz Eggert, a man of many job titles including composer, pianist, conductor, and blogger. 102 The Orchester Jakobsplatz München is a young ensemble founded in 2005 by a young conductor, Daniel Grossmann. Musicians from more than twenty countries currently play in the orchestra. The programming focuses on rarely played works by Jewish composers combined with music of the 20th and 21st centuries. For the Classical:NEXT closing concert, they present a short work by Ernst Krenek, a 20th century composer of myriad styles and methods such as late romantic, jazz, atonality and serialism. of the classical music record industry will be examined by James Jolly, Editor in Chief of Gramophone, a leading publication which, since 1923, has been devoted to the review of classical music recordings. An appropriately named group will bring the musical offerings of the debut edition of Classical:NEXT to a close, the Quartet New Generation. These four young women take recorder performance to previously unexplored territories, incorporating and adapting influences from early and contemporary music as well as popular genres into programs delivered with approachability and élan. On Saturday, 2 June, they’ll take the listeners on a contemporary classical tasting tour with a selection of modern delights, each short and sweet. > Conference/Sessions, Keynote > Conference/Biographies A – Z, James Jolly > Showcases/Live Showcases A – Z The programs that open and close the first Classical:NEXT thus symbolize the duality of preser vation and renaissance, both sides of which are crucial to the future of classical music. Such reconciliation is a goal not only to be reached on stage. As the impulse for Classical:NEXT was given by CLASS – the Association for Classical Independents, the closing concert‘s keynote speech offers a highly fitting topic – the current state 103 You can find more information about the artists in the short A – Z descriptions on the following pages.

Each showcase act will deliver insights into their artistic portfolio within a maximum of 30 minutes. The live showcase artists and ensembles have been selected by an independent jury from numerous proposals for their outstanding quality, new ideas, and often unusual approaches. Meet the Artists Receptions The jury selection offers a wide range of high-quality artists: from well-kept secrets to rising stars, from early to contemporary, traditional to experimental. There will be compositional adventures – including the artists‘ own compositions – as well as courageous arrangements or alterations of well-known masterpieces. Improvisation provides a basis for some of the acts, while others focus on sheet music paired with digital technologies, or – quite the contrary – blend the written classical with oral traditions. While the approaches and the material may differ, all 2012 showcases handle the classical repertoire with self-assurance and respect.

The ensemble, founded in 1978 by the 13-year-old Jean-Claude Acquaviva, has collaborated in film music, children operas, theater works and, most recently, in choreography by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui at the Théâtre de la Monnaie (Opernwelt’s 2011 “Opera House of the Year”). The group created its own requiem, Di Corsica Riposu, on commission from the Festival de Saint-Denis in 2004, releasing the work on its fourteenth album. Acquaviva describes the music as “singing about death in order to better celebrate life.” A Filetta has also entered ambitious cross-cultural exchanges, collaborating with the Japanese percussion ensemble, Kodo.

Playing from memory in unusual formations with a slightly theatrical approach, the Danish ensemble seeks to defy convention and make classical repertoire more appealing for a wider audience. “What at first appears to be an extra ingredient in concocting an event turns out to be a well-rounded concept,” wrote the Süddeutsche Zeitung. The ensemble, founded in 2002, has worked with everyone from the legendary flutist Sir James Galway to the DJ and producer Bjørn Svin, known for his experimental electronic dance music. Carion has won prizes at chamber music competitions in Denmark, Italy and Japan. Georg Friedrich Händel Chaconne in G major, HWV 435 Johann Sebastian Bach, arr.

In February, she invited total strangers from around her neighborhood to attend a recital of keyboard works by Georg Frederic Handel at her Amsterdam apartment. Her fleet fingers and musical intensity evoke anything but a casual musical get together. Her first online video Handel hits the road! features van den Bercken performing on a small grand piano as it is towed through the streets by car.

His second album on Naxos featuring Liszt’s First and Second Piano Concertos and the Totentanz with the Liverpool Philharmonic under Vassily Petrenko occupied the top place on the label’s best-selling digital platform for six consecutive months. He most recently released an album of works by Schubert, and Brahms’ piano quartets are to follow. Nebolsin, an Uzbekistan native, has performed with orchestras throughout Europe and the U.S. under conductors such as Ricardo Chailly, Charles Dutoit, and Leonard Slatkin. A former student of Dmitri Bashkirov in Madrid, he has stayed in the Spanish city to serve on faculty at the International Institute of Chamber Music.

One need only look to the field work of Béla Bartók or the Basque rhythms that drive the scores of Maurice Ravel. Ensemble Variances, founded by pianist-composer Thierry Pécou in 2010, creates a platform to carry this tradition into the 21st century, performing original compositions that blend avantgarde experimentalism with the native sounds of cultures from Latin America to the Caribbean. Pécou and his ensemble recently collaborated with Mexican composers for the premiere of Mexico se pone de fiesta at the Opéra de Rouen and will next unveil a premiere with the American composer Lisa Bielawa. The ensemble has also explored dialogue with the visual arts, collaborating with the painter Rodrigue Glombard.

Le Jardin Secret has entered as a new potential player on the scene since winning the Early Music Network International Young Artists’ Competition in York, England in 2007. The group’s debut album Musique pour Mazarin! Qui le coeur at tout, featuring music by 17th century composers such as Rossi and Charpentier, was praised by The Independent as “a confident and attractively programmed recording.” Le Jardin Secret has since released a musical homage to the Habsburg imperial court entitled Auf Wiener Art. The ensemble has also created original programs such as Orpheus through the ages, bringing together compositions by Rameau, Monteverdi, Telemann and others.

The ensemble, founded in 2005 by Artistic Director Daniel Grossmann, includes musicians from over 20 countries and has formed partnerships with institutions such as the Bavarian State Opera and Theater as well as Munich’s Jewish Community Center. “The orchestra has successfully positioned itself in the orchestra city of Munich with new and Jewish music,” wrote the Neue Zürcher Zeitung last year. In 2009, the group embarked on a tour of Israel and released an album of works by the little-known composer Paul Ben-Haim. The following season it traveled through Moldavia, the Ukraine and Romania with the violinist Tanja Becker-Bender. In June, the orchestra will perform works by Hanns Eisler at Munich’s Schauspielhaus.

Yet the Quartet New Generation (QNG), with an armory of all shapes and sizes, proves an exception to the rule, regularly inspiring composers to conceive works for them. At Berlin’s Ultraschall Festival this season, the female quartet premiered its own arrangement of Sofia Gubaidulina’s Flute Quartet alongside a premiere for prepared recorders by the young Greek composer Marianthi Papalxandri-Alexandri. Concerts have brought QNG from Schleswig-Holstein to the New York festival Bang on a Can and as far as South America, Asia and Russia. The 1998-founded recorder collective has won prizes from contemporary music competitions in The Netherlands, Poland, France and Germany. “A self-consciously fresh concept in chamber music,” wrote The Irish Times.

Yet in the right hands, the music of this time remains as fresh and relevant as it was then. The ensemble Salzburger Hofmusik, founded in 1991 by Wolfgang Brunner, has dedicated itself to a court music tradition that ranges from J.C. Bach to Schubert. The group draws upon a flexible formation ranging from trio to small orchestra, applying scholarly research about performance practice to their interpretations on historic instruments. Salzburger Hofmusik has toured Central and Eastern Europe as well as Israel and Turkey, while maintaining a prolific discography. “Salzburger Hofmusik is more than capable of competing with period instrument ensembles in Freiburg and Köln,” wrote the Süddeutsche Zeitung.

The German trio Sax Allemande, formed in 1996, has set out to prove the instrument’s elegance in a wide variety of repertoire. Blending soprano, alto and bass saxophones, the group’s discography so far includes arrangements of opera and ballet numbers, a rendition of the Goldberg Variations, and a SchubertKagel project juxtaposing two seemingly disparate musical worlds. The group recently won support from the Siemens Foundation for a work it commissioned from the Lithuanian composer Vykintas Baltakas. Sax Allemande also has to its credit two consecutive Echo Klassik Awards in 2009 and 2010.

They also find time for Haydn and Beethoven. The ensemble is well-established on the Danish music scene, performing at Copenhagen’s Tivoli Gardens and Royal Opera House, where it appeared in The Juliet Letters by English singer-songwriter Elvis Costello in 2007. That same year, the quartet recorded the two string quartets by Sunleif Rasmussen, a native of the Nordic Faroe Islands. Other albums include works by Danes Anders Koppel and Paul von Klenau.

The 20-minute videos show recent projects of musicians, ensembles or larger productions via live footage, interviews or documentaries about the artistic content and context. The young violinist Tianwa Yang has been turning heads towards her precocious career. This season includes debut performances with ensembles such as the Cleveland Orchestra, the Warsaw Philharmonic and the Deutsche Radio Philharmonie. A native of Beijing, she recorded the Paganini caprices at the age of thirteen. Her first Naxos album of works by Sarasate with the Orquesta Sinfónica de Navarra and Ernest Martínez Izquierdo received the Pizzicato Supersonic Award last year. Further upcoming releases include the solo sonatas of Eugène Ysaÿe, Wolfgang Rihm’s Works for violin and piano, Lalo’s Symphonie Espagnole, Manen’s violin concerto and the remaining albums for an eightdisc set of Sarasate works.

At the same time, this format is designed to enable artists, ensembles or productions to present themselves when traveling or scheduling issues make a live appearance impossible. Moreover, the video showases are an appropriate way to present work in progress to the professional community at Classical:NEXT – be it a large, complex or unfinished production. By combining the audio-visual element with the onsite presence of one or several represen tatives, the video showases allow ensembles and productions, who would otherwise not be able to perform, to make a professional and informative impression at Classical:NEXT. Opening Tianwa Yang, violin The video showases offer music distributors such as concert promoters, labels and journalists a unique opportunity to experience many performances in a short amount of time. This format allows the gist of a complex project to be grasped quickly and personal contacts can be collected to deepen the exchange afterwards. 122 123 A broad spectrum of presentations awaits our delegates. Stylistically, they range from jazz and baroque improvisations to modern electronic approaches. Some presentations describe concerts in a special setting e.g. pitch black, such as “Augustin Maurs – SOLO Bach Suites Exhibited”.

This is unusual on more than one level, as the six movements for unaccompanied soloist are rarely performed all at once. Maurs, first exposed to the world of Bach’s suites at age six through recordings of Pablo Casals, hopes to distill the musical experience to a purely acoustic one, a concept of invisible sound. “Bach in the dark is an alternative to the way classical music is otherwise visualized and marketed,” he explains. Maurs has entered collaborations with composers such as Mauricio Kagel and Helmut Lachenmann, the choreographer Sasha Waltz and the stage director Christoph Schlingensief.

He has been in residence with institutions such as the Salzburg Festival, the Lucerne Festival, and the Cleveland Orchestra. Schneller, described as “a revelation” in Le Monde for sound worlds that probe the relationship between computer music and classical instrumentation, has been performed by groups such as Ensemble Modern and the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra.

The group has worked together with artists such as the choreographer Sidi Cherkaoui and the contemporary music ensemble Het Collectief, weaving together 14th century ars nova music with the sounds of Karlheinz Stockhausen. These documentary clips present the group in various formations and settings, giving a new spin on the transparent, celestial textures of their music. Whether recording Heinrich Isaac’s “Ich muss dich lassen” in a historic Belgian church or singing music by Alexander Agricola in a montage against mundane scenes such as a city street car, Capilla Flamenca explores new possibilities for creating emotional resonance.

The ensemble has toured cities and remote towns throughout Israel with master classes and concerts in the hope of making chamber music more accessible. In turn, they hope to bring something of its native musical culture abroad. ICP has commissioned works from Israeli composers such as Jonathan Keren and Amit Gilutz, also giving preconcert lectures to explain the effects used in a given contemporary work. “Classical music is a high form of art,” explains Artistic Director Tibi Cziger. “And if you have no knowledge it will be much harder to enjoy.” This season sees the release of the group’s first album and its Carnegie Hall debut.

He remains best known for his music to blockbusters such as Shutter Island and Perfect Sense, however, winning the European Film Academy’s 2008 prize for best score to Ari Folman‘s Waltz with Bashir. Earlier this year, he recorded his Vivaldi adaptation Die vier Jahreszeiten with violinist Daniel Hope and the Konzerthaus Orchester Berlin under André de Ridder as part of Deutsche Grammophon’s Recomposed series. Richter subsequently mixed the recordings electronically. An ongoing documentary project by Yulia Mahr shows scenes from the rehearsals and recording sessions as well as interviews about the project. His ambient music offers a kind of counterpoint in the background.

Last fall, the group performed Philip Glass’ music drama 1000 Airplanes on the Roof in a hangar beneath a Concorde. “Red Note‘s nine-piece ensemble took care to recreate a classic 1980s Glassian sound,” reported The Guardian. “But it was the use of space that stole the show.” This season has included an experimental performance-installation in collaboration with Glasgow-based German artist Torsten Lauschmann and a tour of the Hebridean islands in free concerts of global music as well as master classes. Red Note has also formed educational partnerships with the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and Glasgow University.

Thursday 14:00 Vortragssaal der Bibliothek High culture meets club culture: Classical Next Level is an alternative and interactive concert experience. Classical Next Level presents contemporary classical music in a contemporary context and new surroundings, breaking the boundaries between classical and club music. The project is under the patronage of Dr. Hans-Georg Küppers, Head of Municipal Department of Arts and Culture, Munich. While jazz grooves may seem an unlikely match for the viola da gamba, the Ring Ensemble has bridged the gap between two musical traditions that share a common impulse for structured improvisation. Bringing original baroque instruments together with double bass, keyboard and percussion, the young musicians create original compositions based on improvisation to fixed motives, blending baroque technique with free, modern jazz. The chamber music ensemble has been known to just as easily foray into hip hop and Latin American rhythms, collaborating with the German rapper Flowin‘ Immo and the modern dancer Antonio Ramos. They have also taken on more traditional projects, such as rearranging the “Hut of baba yaga” from Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. The ensemble has performed throughout Germany, so far releasing two albums and a live DVD from Dresden. Live in Dresden Director: Ben Schindler Year of Release: 2010 Simon Slowik Electrain Winzer N° 212 La Truviata For this unusual format, Munich‘s leading electronic music clubs – Bob Beaman and Harry Klein – have joined forces with the renowned event series Klassik im Club. Klassik im Club is performed in a relaxed club setting rather than a standard concert hall and attracts both the established classical audience as well as the diverse and loyal guests of its collaborating club venues. A mixed public that builds a bridge between two musical worlds. The Classical Next Level festival is proud to present two fully loaded nights. The program is framed by a DJ set that features eclectic classical records, well selected and mixed by subtle transitions. Video and light artists enhance the aural and visual experience. Unlike traditional concerts, the artists speak to the audience about their music. The artists effortlessly blur the boundaries between classical and club music with their performances. On 31 May, Minas Borboudakis plays his own works for piano and electronics at Bob Beaman. On the same evening the composer Carl Oesterhelt will present pieces composed especially Ulrike Slowik, baroque violin Martin Stupka, baroque viola Diethard Krause, violoncello and viola da gamba Matthew Cellan Jones, baroque guitar and theorbo Simon Slowik, fender rhodes and electronics Felix Otto Jacobi, double bass Demian Kappenstein, drums and percussion 130 131 for Classical Next Level in a quartet (Carl Oesterhelt, metallophone; Sachiko Hara, piano; Gertrud Schilde, violin; Ulrich Wangenheim, bass clarinet). The second festival night will be held at Harry Klein on 1 June. Musicians from the Münchener Kammerorchester (David Schultheiss, violin; Kosuke Yoshikawa, violin; Kelvin Hawthorne, viola; Bridget MacRae, cello) will perform works by Tom Johnson, Arvo Pärt and Philip Glass followed by a second performance by the percussion duo Double Drums. Not only for the artist but also for the audience, Classical Next Level shows the potential for the evolution of music! Delegates must show their badges and wristbands to get free access to the Classical Next Level concerts – subject to capacity.

The drummer, keyboardist and composer runs the gamut from house to contemporary classical music, collaborating with German pop bands such as FSK and The Merricks while producing a wide-ranging discography. His sixth and most recent album Requiem explores a neo-Romantic chamber idiom, while his debut This is Carlo Fashion creates a series of electro-pop miniatures – a kind of “recorded diary“, in his words. At Classical:NEXT, he appears with an unnamed quartet of piano, violin, bass clarinet, and metallophone in music for theater productions and radio plays. Carl F. Oesterhelt Die Simulanten, for quartet, premiere Pianist Maria Nguyen-Nhu a.k.a. DJ Dan-Thanh occupies the growing interface between classical music and club vibes, remixing everything from Philip Glass to J.S. Bach while maintaining active as a soloist. Nguyen-Nhu, born in Witten, Germany, to Vietnamese parents, hopes to liberate classical music from its stuffy image and attract a younger audience by casting the likes of Händel and Mozart in a more contemporary framework. She is the founder and artistic director of the Munich-based event series Klassik im Club, as well as artistic director of Classical Next Level , which similarly brings classical music to clubs alongside DJ and VJ events. During Nguyen-Nhu’s piano studies at the Real Conservatorio Superior de Música in Madrid, she received a grant from the Spanish Ministry of Culture. She also holds a degree in music journalism.

Their sound battery can include snare drums and marimbas as easily as electric drills, ladders and buckets. Winner of the 2010 “Kunstförderpreis” from the Bavarian Ministry of Science, Research and Art, the group has appeared on German television stations such as ZDF and CCTV. Tours with the Li Biao Percussion Group has brought the duo to concert halls throughout China including the Peking National Centre of Performing Arts and the Xinghai Concert Hall in Ghuangzhou. Double Drums offers creative workshops to school children as well as the visually-impaired in Bavaria.

Ethereal microtonal textures, driving rhythms and intricate melodic patterns are some of the features that distinguish his work. Commissions have included the Radio Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart (SWR), the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI, the Athens State Orchestra (KOA), and the American Wind Symphony Orchestra. He has served as composer in residence at Gidon Kremer’s Lockenhaus International Chamber Music Festival and les muséiques in Basel. His first music theater work liebe. nur liebe was premiered at the Bavarian State Oper under the direction of Kent Nagano in 2007. His ”Diffracted Thoughts” for accordion solo (2011) recently appeared on the Oehms Classic album Unanswered Questions.

The ensemble holds a Nachtmusik series at the Pinakothek Museum, offers local workshops and has established a partner ship with the Puchheimer Youth Chamber Orchestra, commissioning repertoire from a wide range of composers including Jörg Widmann, Wolfgang Rihm, and Marc Andre. The ensemble has released albums with its home label ECM records as well as Deutsche Grammophon and Sony Classical.

Tianwa Yang (violin) Eldar Nebolsin (piano) The Story Of Naxos The extraordinary story of the independent record label that changed classical recording for ever Thomas Bauer (baritone) Available from Piatkus In 1987, a budget classical record label was started in Hong Kong by Klaus Heymann, a German businessman who loved classical music. Swiftly, it gained a world wide reputation for reliable new digital recordings of the classics at a remarkably low price. Despite opposition from the classical record establishment, it grew at an amazing pace, and soon expanded into opera, early music, contemporary music and specialist repertoire so that it became appreciated by specialist collectors as well as the general music lover. It is now the leading provider of classical music and as an innovator in digital delivery. This fascinating book explains how it happened, how a one-time tennis coach in Frankfurt became a classical recording mogul in Hong Kong and how, at the age of 75, he still holds the reins as firmly as ever. www.naxos.com www.naxosmusiclibrary.com www.classicsonline.com Gasteig Kellerstraße Bob Beaman Classical Next Level : Bob Beaman Thursday 21:00 – 23:30 Gast eig Carl Oesterhelt in a Quartet (Germany) Minas Borboudakis (Greece/Germany) DJ Dan-Thanh (Germany) Visuals: Philipp Stegmüller (Germany) Am Bob Beaman Gabelsbergerstr. 4/on the corner Amalienstr., 80333 München/Maxvorstadt Phone: +49 177 254 74 76 Carl-Orff-Saal Live Showcases ie er Fo y armon h Phil To get to the Bob Beaman club from the main station, take the subway line U5 to “Odeonsplatz“.
