WELCOME TO CCM

CCM faculty and students collaborated with alumni Janelle Reichman, Anton Nel, Christopher Allen, Betsy Wolfe, Julie Beckel Yager, Allene Hackleman, Jennifer Paul, Nathaniel Wilson, Yang Liu, Helene Schneiderman and Tamara Wilson in the 2018 CCM Sesquicentennial Alumni Showcase.

A for-profit business has a clear measure of success: Are we making money for our shareholders?

A non-profit organization — CCM is, in effect, a non-profit organization — also has a clear measure: Are our graduates finding success in their chosen fields?

We take great pride in the success of our alumni — those who establish impressive careers on the world stage, those who use what they learned at CCM to chart their own paths and find success in other exciting fields, and those who return to CCM Village to mentor a new generation of artists.

This month you’ll have an opportunity to see the work of a wonderful array of CCM graduates.

Group Cincinnati colleagues — Professor James Culley and Emeritus Professor Allen Otte — in CCM Wind Symphony’s concert on March 28 with the Carmel High School Wind Symphony.

Musical Theatre alumna and CCM Visiting Assistant Professor Katie Johannigman (BFA, ’12) directs and choreographs our performances of Bright Star on April 2-5.

I hope you’ll also take an opportunity to read about the accomplishments of alumnus Darrell Miller (BFA, ’85), a Los Angeles-based entertainment lawyer, on page 14. You can also learn about the success alumnus Joseph Lattanzi (MM, ’15; AD, ’15) enjoys on operatic stages across the country on page 38. You can find these alumni success stories (and others) online at ccm.uc.edu.

Thank you for supporting CCM. We’re glad you’re here!

Musical Theater alumnus Connor Gallagher (BFA, ’06), choreographer for Broadway’s Beetlejuice, both directs and choreographs our performances of The Secret Garden on March 5-8.

Piano alumnus and first prize winner of the 1987 Naumburg International Piano Competition Anton Nel (MM, ’84) is a featured guest artist with the Ariel Quartet on March 10.

from stage to Darrell Miller (BFA Musical Theatre, ’85) is a Los Angelesbased entertainment lawyer for the stars.

By Joseph Rubino 14

APPLAUSE ccm.uc.edu

FROM STAGE TO COURTROOM Beneath his easy laugh and gregarious nature, Darrell Miller (BFA Musical Theatre, ’85) has a powerful drive that has taken him to paneled boardrooms across the country. The Los Angeles-based lawyer was recently named in the inaugural list of Sports and Entertainment Trailblazers by The National Law Journal (NLJ).

Miller works as Chairman of the Entertainment Law Practice at national law firm Fox Rothschild, LLP. He made his transition from theatre to the courtroom after touring with several national production companies, including an international tour of The Princess and the Pea and a lead role in the jazz opera Leo.

I do in my life that would allow me not to just wait to be cast in the next show that would take me around the world, but would allow me to be the initiator of such a production around the world?’ Subconsciously the light of Paul Robeson came on and I thought, ‘a lawyer might be the opportunity.’”

His interest in the entertainment world began when he was a student at Cincinnati’s School for Creative and Performing Arts (SCPA), then was super-charged at CCM while Miller was studying musical theatre.

After extensive research and preparation that has characterized his life, Miller was accepted into 10 law schools and chose Georgetown University. He graduated with a Juris Doctor in 1990 and received an offer from a Chicago firm. Miller asked to go to the firm’s Los Angeles office because he wanted to be in the center of the entertainment world. Now, nearly 30 years later, he lives in that world, negotiating contracts for actors, writers, directors, executives and production companies.

Miller remembers being inspired when former CCM Musical Theatre Head Worth Gardner gave his class an assignment to write a paper on Paul Robeson, an American bass-baritone concert artist, stage and film actor who is also known for his cultural accomplishments and his political activism.

“That became a seminal experience for me,” Miller remembers. “To learn about Paul Robeson, an African-American person with that much talent, was just sheer eye opening. It planted an enormous seed of curiosity — curiosity of potential. It made me think, ‘wow, there are way more things than I’m aware of that I might become.’”

Shortly after graduating from CCM and performing in an international tour, he had another life-changing realization.

“Standing on the shores in Bombay I had an epiphany,” Miller says. “I thought, ‘what can

His client list includes Academy Awardnominated actress Angela Bassett, star of the hit CBS program NCIS (and fellow Cincinnati native and SCPA alumnus) Roscoe “Rocky“ Carroll, music mogul and film actor Chris “Ludacris” Bridges and more.

“I love the role that CCM played in my life,” Miller says. “It was an extraordinary experience that I embraced because I loved the arts, and it was the best of the arts. I love that it opened my mind, and it planted seeds that manifested themselves years later in who I am today. I think that the prestige and the opportunities the school affords you are things that deserve to be supported and deserve to be sustained.”

CCM ON STAGE DANCE DIRECTOR’S NOTE

By Shauna Steele As American playwright August Wilson said, “all of art is a search for ways of being, of living life more fully.” Young choreographers have those same drives, to delve to the core of what unites and divides, what elevates and deflates, what is and what can be.

The Student Choreographers’ Showcase is a unique opportunity for our students to stretch their wings into the realm of choreography using the elements, aesthetics and mechanics of dance composition. They begin in fall semester, present their work for adjudication by a faculty panel, hold auditions and then rehearse the selected works. We see them delving into ideas, styles and universal themes that resonate within them. More importantly we see through their eyes, which provides us a unique glimpse into the diverse future of dance through a new generation of choreographers.

JonMarie Johnson’s Enraptured follows a classical format with a fresh look at ballet and the music of Bizet. With Killer Queen, Kate DeLon presents a contemporary rock ballet to the iconic music of Queen that has defined generations. Madeline Kallay’s Seeking Clarity and Compass by Emily Glaccum invite us into a dance landscape where contemporary dance forges a path and seeks to attain both tangible and intangible knowledge. In David Lopena’s Her we see both the strength and frailty of the feminine archetype in relationships. Lopena fuses his own contemporary movement aesthetic with classical forms of jazz technique reminiscent of Gus Giordano and Bob Fosse.

With Erika Shi’s contemporary work, (Un)seeing and (Un)feeling, we see the final incarnation of the work in progress presented at the fall TAPAA sneak peek.

This year six student choreographers present a diverse and engaging look at movement, culture and the human experience. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed working with them.

GUEST ARTIST

ANTON NEL, PIANO Anton Nel, winner of the first prize in the 1987 Naumburg International Piano Competition at Carnegie Hall, continues to enjoy a remarkable and multifaceted career that has taken him to North and South America, Europe, Asia and South Africa. Following an auspicious debut at the age of 12 with Beethoven’s C Major Concerto after only two years of study, the Johannesburg native captured first prizes in all the major South African competitions while still in his teens, toured his native country extensively and became a well-known radio and television personality. A student of Adolph Hallis, he made his European debut in France in 1982, and in the same year graduated with highest distinction from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. He came to the United States in 1983, attending the University of Cincinnati, where he pursued his Masters and Doctor of Musical Arts degrees under Bela Siki and Frank Weinstock. In addition to garnering many awards from his alma mater during this three-year period, he was a prize winner at the 1984 Leeds International Piano Competition in England and won several first prizes at the Joanna Hodges International Piano Competition in Palm Desert in 1986.

APPLAUSE ccm.uc.edu

Highlights of Nel’s four decades of concertizing include performances with the Cleveland Orchestra, the symphonies of Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, Seattle, Detroit and London, among many others. He has an active repertoire of more than 100 works for piano and orchestra.

An acclaimed Beethoven interpreter, Nel has performed the concerto cycle several times, most notably on two consecutive evenings with the Cape Philharmonic in 2005. Additionally, he has performed all-Beethoven solo recitals, complete cycles of the violin and cello works, and most recently a highly successful run of the Diabelli Variations as part of Moises Kaufman’s play 33 Variations. He was also chosen to give the North American premiere of the newly discovered Piano Concerto No. 3 in E Minor by Felix Mendelssohn in 1992. Two noteworthy world premieres of works by living composers include Virtuoso Alice by David Del Tredici (dedicated to and performed by Nel at his Lincoln Center debut in 1988) as well as Stephen Paulus’s Piano Concerto also written for Nel; the acclaimed world premiere took place in New York in 2003.

As recitalist he has appeared at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Metropolitan Museum and the Frick Collection in New York, the Ambassador Auditorium in Pasadena, Davies Hall in San Francisco, and the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Internationally he has performed recitals in major concert halls in Canada, England (Queen Elizabeth and Wigmore Halls in London), France, Holland (Concertgebouw in Amsterdam), Japan (Suntory Hall in Tokyo), Korea, China and South Africa.

A favorite at summer festivals, he has performed at Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart Festival, as well as at the music festivals of Aspen and Ravinia (where he is on the artist-faculties), Vancouver, Cartagena and Stellenbosch, among many others. Possessing an encyclopedic

CCM ON STAGE THE ARIEL QUARTET chamber music and vocal repertoire he has, over the years, regularly collaborated with many of the world’s foremost string quartets, instrumental soloists and singers. With acclaimed violinist Sarah Chang he completed a highly successful tour of Japan as well as appeared at a special benefit concert for Live Music Now in London, hosted by HRH the Prince of Wales.

2010 he became the first holder of the new Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long Endowed Chair in Piano at the University of Texas at Austin. Since 2015 he has been presenting an annual series of masterclasses in piano and chamber music at the Manhattan School of Music in New York as Visiting Professor and also teaches regularly at the Glenn Gould School in Toronto.

Eager to pursue dual careers in teaching and performing, he was appointed to the faculty of the University of Texas at Austin in his early 20s, followed by professorships at the Eastman School of Music and the University of Michigan, where he was chairman of the piano department. In September 2000, Nel was appointed as the Priscilla Pond Flawn Regents Professor of Piano and Chamber music at the University of Texas at Austin, where he teaches an international class of students and heads the Division of Keyboard Studies. Since his return he has also been the recipient of two AustinAmerican Statesman Critics Circle Awards, as well as the University Cooperative Society/ College of Fine Arts award for extra-curricular achievement. In 2001 he was appointed Visiting “Extraordinary” Professor at the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa, and continues to teach master classes worldwide. In January

Nel is also an acclaimed harpsichordist and fortepianist. In recent seasons he has performed annual recitals on both instruments, concertos by the Bach family, Haydn and Mozart with La Follia Austin Baroque as well as the Poulenc Harpsichord Concerto (Concert Champêtre) with the Austin Symphony.

His recordings include four solo CDs, several chamber music recordings (including the complete Beethoven Piano and Cello Sonatas and Variations, and the Brahms Sonatas with Bion Tsang), and works for piano and orchestra

by Franck, Faure and Saint-Saens. His latest release features premiere recordings of all the works for piano and orchestra of Edward Burlingame Hill with the Austin Symphony conducted by Peter Bay. Nel became a citizen of the United States on September 11, 2003 and is a Steinway artist.

“a vibrant performance” – Janelle’s Notes

The CCM Wind Symphony has received wide acclaim for the quality of its performances as well as the diversity and originality of its programming. Dedicated to bringing the finest traditional and contemporary literature to their audiences, the ensemble performs chamber music, selected transcriptions, concerti and original full ensemble repertoire spanning five centuries.

A B O U T P E R C U S S I O N G R O U P C I N C I N N AT I Percussion Group Cincinnati was founded in 1979 and consists of CCM Professor Emeritus Allen Otte and current CCM faculty members James Culley and Russell Burge. Many of their students have gone on to professional careers in creative music, teaching and with major symphony orchestras. Appearances in their national and international touring schedule have included the major cities, festivals, concert halls and schools of America, Europe and Asia.

In addition to community concerts, workshops and master classes, the Group has appeared as concerto soloists with symphony orchestras and has presented their program “Music From Scratch” to thousands of children across North America. Percussion Group Cincinnati is particularly respected for its knowledge of and experience with the entire range of the music of John Cage, having made tours and festival appearances with him on a number of occasions in Europe and America and having pieces

created by Cage especially for the Group.

More recently, the Group developed similar special relationships with John Luther Adams, Qu Xiao-Song, Russell Peck and with Larry Austin on the Charles Ives Universe Symphony project. Notable performances include the Shanghai International Spring Music Festival, a tour of Japan and the premiere of a new concerto in Singapore with the Singapore Chinese Instrument Orchestra. Over the past 25 years, many young composers from the United States, Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia have created a large body of new and often experimental music for the unique talents of Percussion Group Cincinnati. The Group’s work appears on various CDs, including their own ars moderno label; their recording of John Luther Adams’ evening-length “Strange and Sacred Noise” and “Works of John Cage Vol. I” were released in surround-sound by Mode Records.

Donor Spotlight:

Dr. Alvin Crawford and Mrs. Jean Crawford each have a deep, lifelong love of music and the arts that led them to connect with CCM.

By Joseph Rubino 30

APPLAUSE ccm.uc.edu

DONOR SPOTLIGHT Dr. Crawford, retired Chief of Orthopedics and founding director of the Spine Center at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, has had a distinguished, internationally renowned career as an orthopedic surgeon. In his honor, the Spine Center was renamed the Crawford Spine Center.

But his first love was music.

He started playing trumpet in seventh grade, eventually switching to clarinet. He started college as a music major and wanted a career as a studio musician. In his sophomore year of college, he made a decision that changed the lives of thousands of children across the world: He decided to become a physician.

Dr. Crawford attended Meharry Medical College in 1960, a time when most if not all southern schools were segregated. He applied for admission to the University of Tennessee and became the first African-American to enroll in this southern medical school. He could not transfer because the University of Tennessee did not consider Meharry Medical College an accredited medical school.

“I became an academic orthopedist, but continued to play,” he says. “I was hired by UC to head the Pediatric Orthopaedic service. Once my wife and I found out what CCM was all about, we decided to get involved. After I retired at Cincinnati Children’s, I was able to attend the jazz improvisation course for freshmen and we started coming to performances. Last year I took jazz history.”

Continuing to live out his love of music, Dr. Crawford helped form a group called “The Wannabes,” which plays for nonprofits and has played an opera gala. From there he joined the Queen City Concert band, a community band in Cincinnati.

Jean Crawford’s interest in music stretches back to the piano lessons she took as a child.

She was a teacher and high school counselor and sang in choruses through college.

“I always encouraged my students to get involved and take any type of arts as electives,” she says.

“When I served on the Cincinnati Opera board, I saw that most of our singers in the chorus were from CCM. When we attended CCM’s Moveable Feast, we realized the caliber of musicianship here and were hooked on CCM.” Mrs. Crawford talks about the opportunity she did not have, but that she wants all children to have. “I lived in the segregated south and the opportunities to attend and participate in the arts were limited,” she says. “So my goal is to make sure that the performing arts are available to all communities. In this area, school districts have limited support for funding the arts.

Through the prep schools, CCM provides arts exposure to them. Also, students from CCM go to public schools to give the children more exposure. I think that’s important. And to do that you need money.“ “I think they’re doing something [at CCM] that’s really important,” Dr. Crawford adds. “I became involved in the CCM Dean’s Advisory Council and I can see that the people here care. They care, and they want to put out a good product. And once I became involved with CCMpower, I was able to meet the kids and see what they’re doing.”

All of us at CCM are deeply grateful for the interest and support of Dr. and Mrs. Crawford.

CCM ON STAGE OPERA DIRECTOR’S NOTE

By Robin Guarino The Magic Flute for today: A Parable. In a post-apocalyptic landscape, ravaged by fire and parched by draught, a young man named Tamino travels with a useless map no longer able to find his way through mirage after mirage. Unable to continue he collapses at a border wall. He does not yet know it but on the other side of the wall a young girl named Pamina is held captive, torn from the arms of her grieving mother. Her father has died bequeathing his power to the high priest Sarastro rather than to his wife and matriarchal heir apparent. Now the world divides itself between the dueling camps. Pamina’s mother,

the Queen of the Night, threatens revolution and wants both her daughter and her realm back. Sarastro rules ineffectually. He feels that his power is misplaced and that the fate of the planet is at stake. Both Sarastro and the Queen represent opposing natures of power. His is benign, unreliable and sometimes unthinkingly cruel. Hers is entitled, vengeful and explosive.

The world is off kilter and has hit a wall. Pamina and Tamino face an uncertain future with trails known and unknown that test their character, discipline, faith and love. Will they be able to unite and together save the planet?

M U S I CO LO GY N OT E

By Alyssa Yoshitake, FIRST-YEAR GRADUATE STUDENT IN VIOLA AND MUSICOLOGY According to Alexander Wheelock Thayer’s biography Life of Beethoven, out of all of Mozart’s operas, Beethoven most admired The Magic Flute. This beloved opera has captivated audiences and scholars alike since its premiere, at once delighting them with some of Mozart’s most sublime music and perplexing them with some of his most cryptic puzzles.

On its surface, The Magic Flute is a fairy tale opera. Unattached to any specific time or place, we follow a prince, Tamino, on a quest to save a princess, Pamina, whom he dreams of marrying. This fantastical tale is set to music that reaches the highest of highs and the lowest of lows in terms of emotion, vocal range and musical style. Dichotomies of light and dark, reason and emotion, and good and evil lie at the core of the opera’s conflicts.

Scholars have speculated about how these dichotomies relate to Mozart’s increasing involvement with the Freemasons in Vienna toward the end of his life. Many have noted the prevalence of the number three (an important Masonic symbol) in the opera: the three flats in the key signature, the three chords at the beginning of the overture, the three attendants

to the Queen of the Night and the three boys.

However, some argue that there are plenty of things to count in an opera if one looks hard enough. After all, the opening can be heard as five chords, not just three. Yet the number five has significance in Masonry too, as the symbolic feminine opposite to the masculine three. Diving deeper into Masonic symbolism, it can be seen that the sun, fire and reason are considered part of the masculine realm, opposite the feminine realm’s moon, water and emotion. The conflict between Sarastro and the Queen of the Night can be interpreted in terms of this dualism. As Tamino and Pamina undergo their trials, they ultimately strive for the resolution of this conflict in the unification of the masculine and feminine realms.

However, if this is merely an operatic representation of the 18th-century Masonic initiation, how has it maintained its feeling of universality and timelessness? Ignoring possible Masonic symbolism, it remains that Sarastro and the Queen of the Night are intended opposites.

As the plot unfolds, initial perceptions of good and evil are disturbed. Sarastro, despite his talk of “these sacred halls [that] do not know vengeance,” lashes out in rage on several

CCM ON STAGE OPERA occasions. Does his hypocrisy detract from our ability to see him as the “good” he has traditionally represented? In contrast, the Queen seems to undergo a drastic change from a caring and worried mother into the terrifying supernatural villain that she is known to be. Could this moment of rage be due to an irreconcilable clash between unavoidable sovereign duties and unconditional motherly love? When she sings the opera’s highest notes in “Der Hölle Rache,” she is at her lowest point,

having been stripped of her power. In her endeavor to recover it, she is betrayed by her supposed hero and her own daughter. Does this reaction to her complex circumstances enable her to reflect the complexity of human nature in the face of the conflict of love and duty, or is she purely evil? These questions of morality continue to evolve and develop with our changing individual and cultural values, making this opera enduringly irresistible.

Set for Alumnus Joseph Lattanzi is gaining national attention for his “undeniable star potential” (San Francisco Classical Voice).

By Joseph Rubino 38

APPLAUSE ccm.uc.edu

SET FOR SUCCESS Opera singer Joseph Lattanzi’s (MM Voice, 2015; AD Opera, 2015) career is taking off with performances for opera companies across the country. Just one year after graduating from CCM, Lattanzi found himself in the national spotlight for his work as Hawkins Fuller in the provocative opera Fellow Travelers.

Developed in CCM and Cincinnati Opera’s collaborative Opera Fusion: New Works initiative, Fellow Travelers premiered at the Cincinnati Opera in 2016. Fellow Travelers earned glowing reviews during performances in Cincinnati, at the Lyric Opera in Chicago and the Prototype Festival in New York. Many media Photo by Mark Lyons outlets singled out Lattanzi’s performance.

says. “I knew I wanted to have the best teacher I could have for the rest of my academic career, so I did research, asked around and ended up with the name of Bill McGraw. I really wanted to come here to study specifically with him. I

The New York Times wrote, “Joseph Lattanzi was splendid as Hawk, his buttery baritone luxuriant and robust.” Opera News described him as a “confident, handsome presence, and a resonant baritone suggesting wells of feeling that the character might prefer to leave untapped.” The Chicago Tribune added: “The robust baritone Joseph Lattanzi delivered a compelling, multilayered portrait of Fuller.”

Gifted opera singers wait their entire career for reviews like Joseph Lattanzi as Papageno in CCM’s 2013 production of The Magic Flute. this, but Lattanzi began earning this praise as a recent CCM graduate. Local audiences might remember him also knew that CCM was a great school and the as Papageno in CCM’s 2013 production of The facilities were beautiful.”

Magic Flute, which returns to CCM’s Patricia Corbett Theater with a new cast of student stars Lattanzi completed two degree programs at CCM. He came for one year to earn a Master on April 2-5. of Music in Voice, and then went to the Seattle “CCM was my first audition for grad school and Opera Young Artist program for one year. He once I got in, I cancelled all my other auditions returned to finish his degree at CCM, then went – at Juilliard and everywhere else,” Lattanzi on to earn an Artist Diploma in Opera.

“When I was finished, I felt ready and excited to take on the next step in my career. I knew that I was set up for success.”

SET FOR SUCCESS “In that time I was also working professionally,” Lattanzi says. “I still wanted this training. I saw the results I was getting in the professional world and I decided to apply for the two-year artist diploma degree to continue with my teacher and continue reaping the benefits of the CCM system.

When I was finished, I felt ready and excited to take on the next step in my career. I knew that I was set up for success.”

A 2017 recipient of a top prize from the prestigious Sullivan Foundation, Lattanzi’s upcoming performances include Dandini in Virginia Opera’s La Cenerentola, and roles as cover artist in multiple Metropolitan Opera productions. He also reprises his role as Hawkins Fuller in Des Moines Metro Opera’s Fellow Travelers.

The baritone’s 2018-19 performances included a role in the Metropolitan Opera’s production of Nico Muhly’s Marnie, the central role of Lt. Auderbert in Kevin Puts’ Silent Night with the Arizona Opera, a Jacksonville Symphony debut in the title role of Mozart’s Don Giovanni, a concert celebrating the music of Leonard Bernstein with Atlanta Symphony, and a return to Cincinnati Opera as Count Almaviva in Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro.

CCM STARS WIN THE MET CCM is known as the home of the “stars of tomorrow” for good reason. CCM-trained singers routinely advance to the final rounds of the Metropolitan Opera’s National Council Auditions, which is widely considered to be the nation’s most prestigious vocal competition. For over 60 years, this program has helped launch the careers of such well-known stars as Renée Fleming and Deborah Voigt. Soprano Elena Villalón (BM Voice, ’19) was definitely in good company, then, when she was named a Grand Finals Winner in 2019 while still finishing her undergraduate degree at CCM! Villalón was just the latest CCM student or alum to “win the Met,” though. CCM’s other recent Grand Finals Winners include Jessica Faselt (MM Voice, ’16) in 2018, Amanda Woodbury (MM Voice, ’12) and Yi Li (AD Opera, ’13) in 2014 and Thomas Richards (MM Voice, ’13) in 2013.

At least two CCM singers advanced to the Upper Midwest Regional Auditions in this year’s Met National Council Auditions: artist diploma students Amber Monroe and Teresa Perrotta both won the district auditions in Minneapolis. The Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions conclude with singers competing in the Grand Finals Concert on March 1, 2020. Learn more at metopera.org.

“A huge percentage of my professional life is directly attributable to being in school here, to the professional connections I made here with faculty members and the alumni network,” he says. “CCM is huge in the opera world.”

All of us at CCM are proud but not surprised by Joseph’s success, and we are eager to see where his remarkable talent will take him in the years ahead.
