NC State Welcomes New Director of Orchestral

Dr. Peter Askim NC State’s new director of orchestral studies, Dr. Peter Askim, is as vibrant, talented and unique as the ensembles that he began directing Fall Semester 2014.

Askim, a conductor, composer, bassist and educator, is excited about his new role as the conductor of the Raleigh Civic Symphony and the Raleigh Civic Chamber Orchestra. He looks forward to continuing previous conductor Randolph Foy’s emphasis on cutting-edge performance and musical exploration.

Askim said, “These orchestras have a history of adventurous programming – a wide range of music is already in the DNA of the groups. I don’t have to squeeze myself into a box here and it is really exciting. This is the kind of music that makes me tick. Playing a wide variety of music is important and it changes the way you play. If you play contemporary music, it changes the way you play Beethoven and vice versa. I look forward to diving in!”

Prior to his arrival at NC State, Askim served as music director and composer-in-residence at the prestigious Idyllwild Arts Academy in California. At Idyllwild, Askim taught phenomenally talented young high school students who had already committed to pursuing music careers.

At NC State, Askim will conduct and teach talented musicians who are all students majoring in something other than music.

“You get a more intense experience when people from different backgrounds come together and harness their energy. It makes for more interesting music and people.” Askim said. “I have a liberal arts background. My college orchestra was made up of majors of all different fields and I think it makes for smarter, more engaged musicians. My colleagues from my undergraduate music ensembles have gone on to make major contributions to science, medicine, law and the humanities, in addition to music,” Askim said.

Studies & Faculty Member Askim’s own contributions to music include founding The Next Festival of Emerging Artists in 2013. The festival is an intensive and immersive one-week residency for young professional string players focused on musical exploration, entrepreneurial thinking and contemporary performance practice. The festival provides next-generation artists a chance to hone their craft and collaborate with world-class guest artists. Askim also provided monetary support to students who couldn’t afford to attend with funds he helped raise through the organization. He remains the festival’s artistic director.

professional and semi-professional musicians in rehearsal, coached sections and performances.

“This is the best of both worlds and the initial reason I was interested in the job,” Askim explained. “In a community orchestra, you may be missing a second chair instrument and in the school orchestra, you may have the opposite need. So, when you bring together the two, needs are met and there is great talent and opportunity.“

Askim thrives in settings where collaboration and creativity are embraced so it is no coincidence that Askim sought out NC State’s orchestral program, which also embodies these qualities.

The Raleigh Civic Symphony and the Raleigh Civic Chamber Orchestra are comprised of both student and community performers. This unique arrangement allows amateur musicians to have the opportunity to learn about music and work with

Another unique layer of collaboration that Askim finds attractive is that the orchestra receives support from the Raleigh Civic Symphony Association (RCSA). The non-profit organization was formed in 1975 to specifically support the NC State orchestra program.

“The nonprofit board brings in another vision, more hands to help do the work and provide financial support,” Askim said. “With all of these contributions, more possibilities exist.“ In addition to conducting, Askim is teaching Music of the 20th Century this semester as a faculty member in the Music Department. With previous experience as a lecturer at University of Hawaii at Manoa and as a teaching assistant at University of Texas at Austin, Askim says he relishes returning to the intellectual atmosphere of a university and

finds that the students’ broad worldviews and the faculty members’ research provides inspiration and a fresh perspective on his work.

Dr. Tom Koch, Interim Director of the Music Department, sums up Askim’s arrival, “Dr. Askim brings to the Music Department a wealth of experience in orchestral conducting, composition, and performance.

As director of The Next Festival of Emerging Artists and director and composer-in-residence of the Idyllwild Arts Academy, Dr. Askim dramatically raised the visibility of the music programs at those distinguished institutions. Peter has dedicated his life to teaching talented young people and cultivating in them a sense of curiosity, an appreciation for the arts, and a drive for excellence. We are excited about the possibilities that Peter can achieve with the orchestra program at NC State.”

Quick Glance at NC State’s Orchestral Program The Raleigh Civic Chamber Orchestra (RCCO) is a 30-piece student and community ensemble focusing on orchestral music from Baroque to Post-Modern. In 2000, previous director Dr. Randall Foy started the orchestra for advanced musicians.

The Raleigh Civic Symphony (RCS), which began early in the Music Department’s 90-year history, is an 80-piece student and community group performing standard and contemporary orchestral repertoire.

Both ensembles require auditions, rehearse once a week and perform at least one concert per semester. Student performers may take one credit per semester for up to 8 semesters. Participating community members are volunteers. A paid guest player may be asked to join the group periodically.

Mary Sherk, Executive Director of the Raleigh Civic Symphony Association (RCSA), said, “When the Raleigh Civic Symphony was formed, the symphony was focused on amateur musicians developing

8

greater skill and proficiency. Coaches were provided for most sections.

Through the years, the musicians and symphony grew in capability.

In 1995, Dr. Randolph Foy became the conductor of the Raleigh Civic Symphony, raising its artistic quality further. He added the Raleigh Civic Chamber Orchestra in 2000, a group of more advanced musicians that could learn repertoire more quickly and perform more challenging works. Today, the Raleigh Civic Symphony and Civic Chamber Orchestra are two highly respected orchestras attracting professional and semiprofessional musicians who enjoy the unique and challenging repertoire and audiences looking to experience new and unusual programming."

"RCSA is delighted to have Peter join the music department and lead the orchestra program. His enthusiasm, energy, and love of music are infectious. Peter will strive for a programmatic balance of contemporary and traditional works, as well as orchestral premieres. Under Peter’s leadership, the orchestras look to more effectively engage the community and raise awareness and interest on campus.”

What The Ensembles Mean To Student Musicians Margaret Rahmoeller 5th year Ph.D. student in Math Member of Raleigh Civic Symphony and Raleigh Civic Chamber Orchestra Received Master's in Mathematics from NC State University in December 2012 B.A. in Math and a B.A. in Music from McKendree University in May 2010

“I began playing oboe in 6th grade, so I've been playing oboe for about 15 years now.

I joined both the Raleigh Civic Symphony Orchestra and the Raleigh Civic Chamber Orchestra when I started my graduate program at NC State in Fall 2010. I met Randy Foy in August 2010 when I auditioned to be in the orchestras. He is a charming man, sweet and sincere, devoted to music and teaching, and innovative as a conductor. He introduced me to the beauty of modern music. Before I came to NC State, I was a romantic era musician through and through. I love the heartfelt, almost cheesiness of the melodies. But he helped me understand the complexity of the more modern music when we played pieces such as music by Cage, Satie's Parade, Scearce's Mourning Songs, and Corigliano's Mr. Tambourine Man. One of Dr. Foy's greatest strengths was that he had such a deep

understanding of the music, that he could tie together modern music to historic music to create a unique, meaningful concert. His program notes always conveyed these links extraordinarily.

Here at NC State, I have made many friends in the orchestra, and some I consider to be my Raleigh family. We have bonded over our love for music, our frustration at certain difficult passages in the music, and our conversations during break (and perhaps a little during rehearsals too). We have learned to work together and to listen to each other, whether it's while playing or when sharing ideas on how to make the piece sound even better. So, I have not only enjoyed these ensembles, but I have also learned from them. I've improved my collaboration and listening skills, increased my self-confidence, and continued working on my leadership skills. We have also bonded over losing Dr. Randy Foy as our conductor after he stepped down due to health reasons. He really was the best conductor I had ever had. He knew how to inspire us and encourage us to do our best, and he picked the most interesting music for us to play, knowing we would play well. We have struggled over the last few semesters, waiting for stability in finding a new conductor for the ensembles. Our numerous experiences with temporary conductors taught us what qualities to look for in a good conductor inside and outside of rehearsals.

Needless to say, we are looking forward to working with Dr. Peter Askim.

We immensely enjoyed meeting him last semester, and we know he'll lead us in a new direction with a lot of energy. We're ready to work hard to ensure stability in our future, to improve as an orchestra, and to push our way out into the community with an even greater force then before.

Personally, I look forward to the new year and the challenges it brings!”

■

I hope to make participating in orchestras a lifelong endeavor; I know it is easier said than done, but playing Viola has been such a large part of my life, and I really hope that I never stop playing. If I stay in the area after graduation, I would love to continue to be a member of the RCS!

“The upcoming fall semester will be my 5th semester in the Raleigh Civic Symphony. I'm from Fayetteville and Cumberland County schools offer a great orchestra program that allows 5th graders to pick up a string instrument. I decided to begin playing viola in 5th grade.

I was only able to study under Dr. Foy for one full semester, but it was clear that he was a large part of the music department at NC State. I first met Dr. Foy in 2010 for an audition for the NC Governor's School program, and I remember my friends and I coming out of the audition room saying how kind and calming the judge was, which was a completely different feeling from some other auditions we'd had before. I know the NC State orchestra program would not be as great as it is today without his years of service to the NC State Music Department, and I am truly thankful to him for that.

Participating in orchestras was a huge part of my high school life, and being able to continue to participate in musical ensembles such as the Raleigh Civic Symphony has been a great joy for me. There are definitely parts of the college experience that are awful and annoying, but having this opportunity to go and make music with these great musicians every week provides a great release from that stress.

I'm very excited for the addition of Dr. Peter Askim to the NC State Music Department, and I'm excited for the future of the music department in general! The next few years are sure to be filled with great music, and a lot of fun.”

the campaign for the

Gregg Museum of art & design is closing the gap! $5 million in student and university support

+ $2.5 million raised privately so far

+ $1.5 million more to be given by supporters like you

= $9 million and a new Gregg Museum!

Fund-raising progress Major Gifts

As a reminder…

More than 25 generous individuals and foundations have chosen to make a major commitment of $25,000 or more to the Gregg Museum Campaign. Several have chosen to name spaces in the new Gregg and will be recognized with permanent donor plaques once the museum is complete. All of these visionary supporters believe in the future Gregg Museum of Art & Design, and we thank them for their support!

All pledges to the Gregg Museum Campaign may be paid over a period of up to five years from the date of the original commitment. The Founding Friends program is a terrific option for those who wish to support the campaign but cannot commit to a major gift at this time.

Nearly 90 individuals, couples and businesses have joined the Founding Friends of the Gregg Museum Campaign!

Visit the Gregg Museum Campaign website at newgregg.ncsu.edu to see design renderings, to keep up with our fund-raising progress, to read about our donors, and to learn more about the Gregg Museum of Art & Design and its 30,000+ item collection!

The campaign’s Founding Friends program recognizes donors of $5,000+. Our goal is to recruit 200 Founding Friends and raise $1 million, nearly a quarter of our total private fund-raising goal. Founding Friends gifts (like all gifts to the campaign) may be paid over five years; therefore, you may contribute $1,000 each year for five years. Founding Friends will be acknowledged permanently on a comprehensive plaque that will be displayed prominently in the future museum. Together, the community can build the new Gregg!

Emily Grace Ashcroft, Von Darius & Others, is a junior exchange student from England in theatre. Emily comes to us from Leeds University in England. “I have had an amazing time here so far and have met some amazing people. I have attended some American football games and have enjoyed becoming a part of the Wolfpack. At NC State I am taking a range of classes, from sociology to women’s choir. I have sung for years now and was in a gospel/contemporary choir back in England for eight years. It’s great to come here and be able to experience the theatre at NC State. Acting has always been a passion of mine and I would like to do something within that field for my career. I have played a range of roles back in England, from Tallulah in Bugsy Malone to Sarah in Guys and Dolls. I once played a tree in Little Red Riding Hood which was definitely the highlight of my acting career. On a serious note, I love acting and it’s so inspiring to see how others work and what they can do with different characters. I’m so thankful to be in this show and I’m so grateful to be here in America. I’m enjoying the hot dogs and the pulled pork! Enjoy the show!”

“To my University Theatre family – and I do not use the term lightly – thank you for encouraging me to express myself artistically. Without supportive staff members, directors, and friends, I would not have had the courage to direct, the freedom to write, and the luck to perform.

To be able to explore these lives and then reach out to others to share these stories is incredibly exciting to me. I hope to be doing this for the rest of my life!” Thanks to my family, my Mimi, and all of my friends who support me no matter what.

about

DAKHA BRAKHA

A shadowy procession to the pounding of drums, to the murmur of a cello, morphs into an anthem, an invocation, a wild and wacky breakdown. Drones and beats, crimson beads and towering black lambs-wool hats all serve as a striking backdrop for an unexpected, refreshingly novel vision of Eastern European roots music. This is the self-proclaimed “ethno-chaos” of Ukraine’s DakhaBrakha, a group that feels both intimately tied to their homeland, yet instantly compelling for international audience.

“We just want people to know our culture exists,” muses Marko Halanevych of DakhaBrakha, the remarkable Kyiv-based ensemble that has broken down the tired musical framework for Ukrainian traditional music. “We want people to know as much as possible about our corner of the world.”

The quartet does far more than introduce Ukranian music or prove it is alive and well. They craft stunning new sonic worlds for traditional songs, reinventing their heritage with a keen ear for contemporary resonances. With one foot in the urban avant-garde theatre scene and one foot in the village life that nurtured and protected Ukraine’s cultural wealth, DakhaBrakha shows the full fury and sensuality of some of Eastern Europe’s most breathtaking folklore.

Fresh from lauded appearances on A Prairie Home Companion and at Bonnaroo, the group is touring the U.S. this winter. Rolling Stone dubbed the band Bonnaroo’s “Best Break Out,” gushing that they had “one of the most responsive crowds of the weekend.”

Refined yet saucy, eerie yet earthy, Ukrainian music has languished in relative obscurity, though its achievements are diverse and sophisticated: complex polyphonic singing with interlocking lines so tight the ears buzz, long and philosophical epics, humorous ditties, instrumental virtuosity, and raucous dance tunes. Ritual and ribaldry, urbane composition and rural celebration, Asian influences and Western harmony all combined to give contemporary musicians a true wealth of potential sources.

DakhaBrakha knows these sources well: the three female vocalists have spent many summers traveling around Ukraine’s villages collecting songs and learning

from elder women in remote areas. Like these village tradition-bearers, they have spent years singing together, a fact that resonates in the beautifully close, effortlessly blended sound of their voices. Marko grew up steeped in village life, and draws on his rural upbringing when contributing to the group.

Yet the young musicians and actors were determined to break away from purist recreations and from the stale, schmaltzy, post-Soviet remnants of an ideology-driven folk aesthetic. Urged on by Vladyslav Troitsky, an adventuresome theatre director at the DAKH Center for Contemporary Art, a cornerstone of the Kyiv arts underground, the group resolved to create something radically different. They wanted to experiment, to discover, to put Ukrainian material in a worldly context, without divorcing it from its profound connection to land and people. That’s why tablas thunk and digeridoos rumble, filling out DakhaBrakha’s sound, and yet never overshadow the deeply rooted voices and spare, yet unforgettable visual aesthetic.

“The beginning was pretty primitive,” recalls Halanevych. “We tried to find rhythms to match the melodies. We tried to shift the emphasis of these songs. We know our own material, our native music well, yet we wanted to get to know other cultures and music well. We started with the Indian tabla, then started to try other percussion instruments. But we didn’t incorporate them directly; we found our own sounds that helped us craft music.”

Through this experimentation and repurposing of instruments from other cultures to serve DakhaBrakha’s own sound, the band was guided by the restraint, the elemental approach that owed a debt to the emotionally charged minimalism of Phillip Glass and Steve Reich.

“At the same time as we explored ethnic music, we got interested in minimalism, though never in a way that was literal or obvious,” Halanevych explains. “The methods of minimalism seemed to us to be very productive in our approach to folk. The atmospheric and dramatic pieces that started our work together were created by following that method.”

This mix of contemporary, cosmopolitan savvy and intimacy with local traditions and meanings cuts to the heart of DakhaBrakha’s bigger mission: To make the world aware of the new country but ancient nation that is Ukraine. “It’s important to show the world Ukraine, and to show Ukrainians that we don’t need to have an inferiority complex. That we’re not backward hicks, but progressive artists. There are a lot of wonderful, creative people here, people who are now striving for freedom, for a more civilized way of life, and are ready to stand up for it.”

“The Ukraine’s DakhaBrakha turn the dissonant, ethereal drones of Eastern European folk music into a Björkian drum-punk spectacle.”

-Rolling Stone

ARTIST

biographies

Marko Halanevych is the only representative of the countryside in the band. He was born at the Krushenivka village at the Vinnitskiy region in the family of village intellectuals. He graduated from the faculty of the Ukrainian philology, but came into the theatre, became an actor of the Centre of Contemporary Art “DAKH” and then accidentally found himself working with the band. Marko is fond of design – he creates the visual images of DakhaBrakha and “DAKH” theatre and continues to play on stage as an actor.

Iryna Kovalenko has played Ukrainian ethnic music from early childhood. She has graduated from the faculty of folklore. She is fond of yoga, yachting, rowing. Ira is responsible for the “brass section” of the group, as she easily gets the feel of different music instruments and plays at the “DAKH” theatre as an actress.

Olena Tsibulska is one of the specialists at the folklore department of the National University of Ukraine. When Lena has the time off, she prepares the Candidate’s dissertation about traditional Ukrainian wedding songs. She is fond of driving, sewing and interior design.

Nina Garenetska professionally studied folklore, but at the same time she is a virtuoso self-taught cellist. She is the most open-minded member of the band and is up for collaborating with other musicians. Nina is fond of travelling, photography, fancywork and adornment creation.

Reflections on Zimbabwean Mbira Music and Collaborative Research: A Discussion-Performance

By Paul Berliner and Cosmas Magaya Friday, November 7, 2014 at 7PM Titmus Theatre, Thompson Hall For over forty years, ethnomusicologist Paul Berliner and mbira master Cosmas Magaya have collaborated on numerous scholarly and creative projects. At this event, they reflect on their early meeting in the Rhodesia during the last gasp of colonial rule/eve of the liberation struggle; and the challenges of pursuing musical understanding across cultural divides.

biographies Paul Berliner (Professor of Ethnomusicology, Department of Music and John Hope Franklin Center for International and Interdisciplinary Studies, Duke University) is a forty-year associate of mbira masters, including his principal teacher, Cosmas Magaya. He is the author of the award-winning books, The Soul of Mbira: Music and Traditions of the Shona People of Zimbabwe and Thinking in Jazz: The Infinite Art of Improvisation, as well as a solo multimedia theatre piece about the plight of artists during Zimbabwe’s liberation struggle, Library in Flames: A Tale of Musicians in a Time of War. He recorded and produced the CDs Zimbabwe: Shona Mbira Music and Zimbabwe: The Soul of Mbira (Nonesuch Records) and has performed internationally with the Paul Winter Consort and the Zimbabwean groups, Mhuri yekwaRwizi, and the Zimbabwe Group Leaders Mbira Ensemble.

Cosmas Magaya is an internationally recognized master of the mbira dzavadzimu.

As a prodigy and leader of the mbira ensemble Mhuri yekwaMagaya, he gained national distinction in Zimbabwe for his deep knowledge of traditional music. He has been featured in several international tours with the mbira ensembles Mhuri yekwaRwizi and The Zimbabwe Group Leaders Mbira Ensemble, including three in Europe and two in the United States. His performances are featured on a number of critically acclaimed CDs. A respected teacher as well as a virtuoso, Cosmas has been invited to give master classes at numerous universities and colleges throughout the United States (including Stanford, Northwestern and Duke Universities) and Canada.

PRELUDES...A JOURNEY OF BEGINNINGS Preludes by Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Scriabin, Debussy and Shostakovich.

Sunday, November 9, 2014 at 4PM Titmus Theatre, Thompson Hall Olga Kleiankina, piano

program notes Preludes...a Journey of Beginnings is an exploration of art and music of the 19th and 20th centuries. The link that unites all the works in this recital program is the genre of Prelude.

While in the Baroque era, preludes were mostly used as improvisations or introductory movements that preceded the main work (like a fugue or a choral); during the Romantic period, this genre gained more interest from composers as an independent piece, often experimental in technique and form.

The Prelude is also one of the few genres that has been used to illustrate all 24 keys of music. Works in all 24 keys date to as early as 1584, when Vincenzo Galilei, the father of the famous Galileo Galilei, wrote a Codex of pieces that would demonstrate the utility of the equal temperament (a tuning system for musical instruments that he discovered). For the same reason—to prove the use of another new tuning system—J.S. Bach wrote the Well-Tempered Clavier, a collection of two volumes of 24 Preludes and Fugues, which showcased Well Temperament.

Many composers of the 19th century tried to continue the tradition of J. S. Bach’s colossal input. In this tradition, Fryderyk Chopin was not the first Romantic composer who explored the possibility of writing a set of pieces in all the 24 keys. Chopin’s Preludes, however, did for the first time represent a set of pieces that were intended and that could be performed in a concert. He finalized the work during the winter of 1838-1839 while he spent several months in Majorca with George Sand and her children, in hopes of improving his deteriorating health condition.

A8 ■ ncsu.edu/arts

Fifty years later, another Romantic composer from Russia, Alexandr Scriabin, took on the same challenge, and wrote a set of preludes following Chopin’s model and order of keys.

Both sets feature short pieces, various in technique and character. Often, Scriabin’s preludes seem to be his reply to Chopin’s pieces: they would keep a similar character or a musical gesture while exploiting new realms of harmonic language and piano technique. The genre of prelude seemed to have a special importance for Scriabin throughout his career: the prelude was an experimental subject, a small-scale composition in which he could test his most daring ideas, which he later used in larger works.

In 1933, the Soviet composer, Dmitri Shostakovich, followed the example of the two Romantics, and presented his view of a prelude in the context of the industrial, dynamic, restless and relentless pre-war, post-revolutionary 20th century.

Notwithstanding, some composers did not intend to follow all the musical keys and simply wrote sets of preludes. 20th-century composer Sergei Rachmaninoff wrote the well-known Prelude in C-Sharp Minor among his first works. Later, he composed collections of 10 preludes op. 23 and 13 preludes op. 32. Similarly, between 1909 and 1913, French Impressionist composer, Claude Debussy, wrote two books of 12 preludes in each. The preludes do not follow a key pattern. Each prelude has a title at the end of the piece, as if the composer wanted the listener to imagine before anything is suggested.

Our Town

Anna Clyne

Aaron Copland

<<rewind<< is inspired by the image of analog video tape rapidly scrolling backwards with fleeting moments of skipping, freezing and warping.

The original version, for orchestra and tape, was composed in 2005 for choreographer and Artistic Director of Hysterica Dance Company, Kitty McNamee. A distinct characteristic of McNamee’s work is its striking and innovative use of physical gestures and movements that recur throughout the course of a piece to build and bind its narrative structure. This use of repetitive gestures is utilized in the musical language and structure of <<rewind<<.

With the threat of impending war, Thornton Wilder’s play Our Town, with its look back at an America of homespun values, was tremendously appealing. Copland accepted the invitation to compose the musical score for the screen version of life in the small town of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire. He explained, “For the film version, they were counting on the music to translate the transcendental aspects of the story. I tried for clean and clear sounds and in general used straightforward harmonies and rhythms that would project the serenity and sense of security of the story.” Copland arranged about ten minutes from the film score for a suite. It is dedicated to Leonard Bernstein.

<<rewind<< was premiered at J.C.Borden Auditorium, New York, 2005, by the Manhattan School of Music Composers Orchestra with conductor, David Gilbert.

Symphony #8 In G, Op. 88 Antonín Dvořák “Gentlemen, in Bohemia the trumpets never call to battle — they always call to the dance!”

– Conductor Rafael Kubelík, on the opening of the Finale of Dvořák’s Eighth Symphony Dvořák’s Eighth Symphony, written while at his country house in the summer of 1889, embodies the idyllic character and essential “Czech-ness” of the Bohemian countryside. Through both its pastoral tone (the flute’s first movement “bird call” melody, for example) and its use of folk materials and rhythms (the dance rhythms of the third movement), Dvořák creates a fundamentally optimistic work, imbued with a sense of natural beauty and national consciousness. Biographer Hans-Hubert Schönzeler writes, “When one walks in those forests surrounding Dvořák’s country home on a sunny summer’s day, with the birds singing and the leaves of trees rustling in a gentle breeze, one can virtually hear the music...”

Anna Clyne London-born Anna Clyne is a composer of acoustic and electro-acoustic music, combining resonant soundscapes with propelling textures that weave, morph, and collide in dramatic explosions. Her work, described as “dazzlingly inventive” by Time Out New York, often includes collaborations with cutting edge choreographers, visual artists, film-makers, and musicians worldwide.

In August 2013, Clyne’s Masquerade, a BBC Radio 3 commission, had its world premiere on the famed Last Night of the Proms by the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Marin Alsop. Other recent premieres include The Violin, a multimedia collaboration with artist Josh Dorman and violinists Cornelius Dufallo and Amy Kauffman, The Lost Thought, performed by Trio Mediæval with conductor Julian Wachner, and A Wonderful Day for the Bang on a Can All-Stars. Clyne recently served as Composer-in-Residence for Brazil’s Festival Inverno do Campos do Jordão, the Mizzou New Music Festival with Alarm Will Sound, 21c Liederabend, and the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music. She has been appointed as Composer-in-Residence for the Orchestre National d’Ile de France from 2014-2016.

Other commissions include works for the American Composers Orchestra, Carnegie Hall, Houston Ballet, London Sinfonietta, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Metropolis Ensemble, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, the Southbank Centre and VIA among others. Clyne’s work has been championed by some of the world’s finest conductors, including Marin Alsop, Pablo Heras-Casado, George Manahan, Jeffrey Milarsky, Riccardo Muti, Leonard Slatkin, Alan Pierson, Andre de Ridder, Esa-Pekka Salonen, and Osmo Vänskä. Her work has been performed in venues ranging in diversity from New York’s (Le) Poisson Rouge to Carnegie Hall—and hosts of concert halls and alternative venues across the globe.

Appointed by Music Director Riccardo Muti, Clyne is currently the Chicago Symphony’s Mead Composer-in-Residence through the 2014–15 season. She is the recipient of several prestigious awards including a Charles Ives Fellowship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, awards from Meet the Composer, the American Music Center, the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, the Jerome Foundation, and prizes from ASCAP and SEAMUS. She was recently nominated for the 2014 Times Breakthrough Award (UK) and is the recipient of a grant from Opera America to develop As Sudden Shut - a multimedia collaboration with the Quay Brothers.

World premieres for the 14-15 season include Rest These Hands for solo violin and string orchestra to be premiered by Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and soloist Jennifer Koh at Carnegie Hall; The Seamstress, a violin concerto to be premiered by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and soloist Jennifer Koh at Orchestra Hall; Postponeless Creature for vocal trio and chamber ensemble to be premiered by members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chicago Symphony Chorus at Harris Theater; and Secret Garden for drumkit and tape, to be premiered by Colin Currie at the Southbank Center in London, UK.

In 2012, Tzadik Records released a full album of Clyne’s music, titled Blue Moth, showcasing a diverse range of her instrumental and ensemble with tape pieces, including Roulette, fits + starts and Steelworks. Recent releases include Night Ferry with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Riccardo Muti on the CSO’s Resound label and Prince of Clouds featuring Jennifer Koh and Jaime Laredo with the Curtis Chamber Orchestra on Cedille Records. In September 2014, VIA Records will release The Violin.

Clyne holds a first-class Bachelor of Music degree with honors from Edinburgh University and a Master of Music degree from the Manhattan School of Music where she studied with Marjan Mozetich, Marina Adamia, Julia Wolfe, and Nils Vigeland. Her music is published exclusively by Boosey & Hawkes.

Aaron Copland Aaron Copland’s name is synonymous with American music. It was his pioneering achievement to break free from Europe and create concert music that is characteristically American. In addition to writing such well-loved works as Fanfare for the Common Man, Rodeo, and Appalachian Spring, Copland conducted, organized concerts, wrote books on music, and served as an American cultural ambassador to the world.

While studying with Nadia Boulanger in Paris, Copland became interested in incorporating popular styles into his music. Upon his return to the US, he advanced the cause of new music through lectures and writings, and organized the famed Copland-Sessions concerts.

As America entered first Depression, then war, Copland began to speak to the concerns of the average citizen in those times of trouble. His intentions were fulfilled as works from Billy the Kid to Lincoln Portrait to the Pulitzer Prize-winning Appalachian Spring found both popular success and critical acclaim.

Aaron Copland was one of the most honored cultural figures in the history of the United States. The Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Kennedy Center Award, the National Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences “Oscar,” and the Commander’s Cross of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany were only a few of the honors and awards he received. In 1982, The Aaron Copland School of Music was established in his honor at Queens College of the City University of New York.

PRE-HOLIDAY CONCERT Featuring the choirs of NC State and the Raleigh Civic Chamber Orchestra November 23, 2014 at 4PM Unitarian Universalist Fellowship 3313 Wade Ave., Raleigh, NC 27607 The choirs of NC State, including State Chorale, Vox Accalia Women’s Choir, and Singing Statesmen Men’s Choir, will combine and partner with the Raleigh Civic Chamber Orchestra for a special pre-holiday concert.
