So, for me– at least from now on– St. Patrick’s Day
MORETON BAY (AN AUSTRALIAN FOLK SONG) One Sunday mor ning as I went walking
For three long years I was beastly treated
By Brisbane waters I chanced to stray
And heavy irons on my legs I wore
I heard a convict his fate bewailing
My back from flogging was lacerated
As on the sunny river bank I lay
And oft times painted with my crimson gore
I am a native from Erin's island
And many a man from downright st ar vation
But banished now from my native shore
Lies mouldering now under neath the clay
They stole me from my aged parents
And Captain Logan he had us mangled
And from the ma iden I do adore
All at the triangles of Moreton Bay
I've been a prisoner at Por t Macquarie
Like the Egyptians and ancient Hebrews
At Nor folk Island and Emu Plains
We were oppressed under Logan's yoke
At Castle Hill and at cursed Toongabbie
Till a native black lying there in ambush
At all these settlements I've been in chains
Did deal this tyrant his mor tal stroke
But of all places of condemnation
My fellow prisoners be exhilarated
And penal stations in New South Wales
That all such monsters such a death may find
To Moreton Bay I have found no equal
And when from bondage we are liberated
Excessive tyranny each day prevails
Our for mer sufferings will fade from mind

NEC Faculty On
FINDING YOUR PATH NEC Commencement looms around the corner, and for graduating students, the endless possibilities of the "real world" can often feel daunting. However, even the most successful professionals spend a lot of time refining their career paths. Here, four of our own faculty members graciously share the stories behind their success and offer the courage to discover your own.
DAVID LOEBEL, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF ORCHESTRAS I headed to college with absolutely no idea what I’d do with my life; all I knew for sure was that music would be a big part of it and that I wouldn’t be a performer. Among my possible career choices were music critic, radio announcer, record producer and music librarian; as it’s turned out, I’ve done all those things during my life as a conductor.
I fell into conducting by accident and only during my senior year,
when I conducted an orchestra for the first time, did I dare even fantasize about doing it for a living. Since then, my professional path has taken innumerable unpredictable twists and turns. I’d like to think that the good ones were the logical result of talent and hard work, but actually most of them were due, at least in part, to serendipity and plain old dumb luck. PHOTO BY ANDREW HURLBUT
TOM NOVAK, PROVOST AND DEAN OF THE COLLEGE If somebody had told me when I was 18 years old that I was destined to be an administrator at NEC, I would have told them that they were crazy! My focus was totally on an orchestral career, which, I thought, would represent real success. Life ended up taking many different twists and turns over the years, and I can honestly say that I have no regrets. I was a performer, freelancer, treasurer, grant-writer, concert producer, and festival administrator. Some of these steps were planned, some not; some were easy to embrace, some took some real soulsearching. I have learned the importance of being open to new ideas, trusting my instincts, and connecting with people, all great life skills; and real success is contributing in some meaningful way.

RACHEL ROBERTS, DIRECTOR OF ENTREPRENEURIAL MUSICIANSHIP Coming from Iowa, my first artistic dream was to be the BSO’s piccoloist. At Eastman, I performed in Carnegie Hall, took a few auditions (winning one, only a prelim performance for another), and interned with the Rochester Philharmonic operations department. At Eastman I also started listening to myself, discovering my tremendous enjoyment helping other people. The RPO network led to my first job with the Houston Symphony; from there, I was recommended for the League of American Orchestras’ Management Fellowship Program. 20,000 miles, four residencies, and one year later, I found a supportive network to create a new position at the Atlanta Symphony. And, instead of following the expected path of attending a national orchestra conference, I again listened to my own desires and made a trip to Boston to research my grad school possibilities. In lieu of grad school, I crossed paths with NEC and said “yes” to starting the EM Department. The journey from Iowa has held many unexpected adventures – teaching, performing, running three Boston marathons, cooking, hiking, and laughter with amazing friends – and never in a million years would I have expected this type of fulfillment upon graduation! Each day, I continue to discover that life is truly a journey. Great (life-changing!) experiences abound if you listen to yourself and find the work that makes you happy.
FRED HERSCH, JAZZ PIANIST AND COMPOSER As soon as I graduated NEC in 1977, I immediately moved to New York City with the goal of playing with the greatest jazz musicians in the world. With luck and perseverance, my dreams came true. It wasn't until my early thirties that I went out on my own as a soloist/bandleader after serving numerous apprenticeships. In those days, I had the requisite skills to be successful: I knew a lot of tunes, I could swing, I could accompany and play in many styles with anyone. These days, many of my students have already made their own CDs before they are out of school and many of those consist or original compositions with their own bands. The internet and technology has partially made this possible. But my advice is to be the best musician you can be – and most especially to be the kind of person that you would like to have work with YOU. Personally, musically and professionally. As my career has gotten much larger, I find myself some days spending more time on the computer doing business than practicing or composing – it doesn't get any easier! (Never mind the awfulness of air travel). But my ability to do a number of things at a high level has been part of my success and earning a living: being a collaborator, producing, composing, teaching and being open to musical opportunities that have come my way. I love it all! And after 40 years as a professional jazz pianist, I feel I am still getting better and still love what I do – and not many people can say that. PHOTO BY MARK NISKANEN

t s r o h p a Ken Sch
penguin SPOTLIGHT Article by Andrew Nissen | Photos by Andrew Hurlbut
I was lucky enough to steal some time from Ken Schaphorst’s busy schedule to talk to him about his journey in music. Over a long phone call on a cold Saturday morning (which seems to be all of them lately!), we covered some great topics.
Although Ken has chaired the jazz department at NEC
since 2001, the Philadelphia native originally followed a different path. “I went to a liberal arts school called Swarthmore College," he recalls. "I didn't plan to become a musician after high school. My father was an engineer, so I thought I would try engineering. I enjoyed it and had an aptitude for it. But I realized when I got there that I missed music, so I went to one of the Berklee summer sessions after my freshman year. It was my first introduction to Boston, and I fell in love with the city.”
After graduating from Swarthmore with a BA in music,
Ken moved to Boston and began his master's in composition at
NEC in the 80s. I ask him if NEC has changed much since his days as a student. “I would say the philosophy is the same," he answers. "The openness is the same, and I’m really glad to see that." He recalls that when Gunther Schuller was President, professors occupied more than one department. "William Thomas McKinley was heavily involved in both jazz and classical. For better or worse, there are fewer people in multiple departments now.”
After completing graduate degrees at both NEC and
BU, Ken led a big band in several recordings. “The first band that I was really involved in leading was the Jazz Composers PHOTO COURTESY OF ANDY HURLBUT
Alliance, of which I was a founding member. I started another band with Rob Scheps, also an NEC graduate. We had an unusual instrumentation, including flute, bassoon, French horn, tuba. I had fun writing for them, and it was out of that group that my first band grew. I started calling it the Ken Schaphorst Big Band because I couldn’t think of a better name!”
“The first recording was as independent as you could
get-- we did everything ourselves. The funny thing is that when I released it, Russ Gershon had just started a record label and said 'I wish you could have told me, and I would have released it with my label.' Every subsequent CD I made was released on

stores around. The first thing I did was go to Tower Records, where a guy paid me cash for 200 CDs upfront. That almost paid for the first 1000 CDs I made. I can’t tell you how much that part of the business has changed. It’s much easier to make them today, but it’s a little more difficult to make money once you make the CDs.”
With that in mind, where is the opportunity for profit,
then? “I think the money in jazz has always been in live performance. It’s been the centerpiece of how musicians make their money. I’ve been watching this NEC group that has become very popular called Lake Street Dive. They were all jazz musicians who graduated 5 or 6 years ago, and now they’re on The David Letterman Show. They found success with a YouTube video filmed on the street in Boston, created with almost no investment. And it became hugely popular. They just put out a CD called Bad Self Portraits and it’s a big hit. The YouTube side of things has really allowed a lot of things to happen if you know how to use it. I think they are very smart about using these opportunities to promote themselves. Even still, I imagine they make more money from their live performances."
Ken Schaphorst is a man with a great amount of
knowledge, and it was great to get the chance to absorb some of that knowledge from him! Most of the time at a conservatory, my friends and I seem to get lost in an “Excerpt A, Excerpt B” attitude. Opening up to a more complete philosophy of a Russ’ label, except for the most recent one (for which I got a deal with Naxos.) A lot of the people in the band have gone

on to do very well. John Medeski, Donny McCaslin…So I think I was lucky in that sense. Through NEC and Berklee I met a lot of talented young players.”
I made the observation to Ken that my jazz friends
always seem better at self-promotion than my classical friends. “I think the difference between the jazz versus classical idea of promotion for me, and many others I know, was that from a very early age I played gigs. Even in junior high school, I hired other kids. Although it never came naturally, I could see that gigging was necessary. If you want to have a band, you’ve got to have gigs. You can rehearse for a while, but at some point you have to play. And at the peak of my band's success, we played a gig every other week to a good crowd.
Still, times have changed for young artists, and what
worked before doesn’t necessarily work now. “When I made a CD, it took a lot more money than it takes now. You couldn’t burn it on a computer. I still remember when I had to drive it up to ME, where they had those facilities. There were more CD

penguin CONCERTS by Nick Tisherman The Marriage of Figaro
MARCH 26 & 27, 8:00 PM, BROWN HALL WHAT IS IT? The Undergraduate Opera Studio has been working all year to perform this program of scenes from one of Mozart’s opera, The Marriage of Figaro. WHAT YOU’LL HEAR: Undergraduate vocalists who sound well beyond their years take on one of Mozart’s greatest operatic works. Student conductor Roberto Kalb will take the baton, with stage direction by Stephen Goldstein. WHY IT’S COOL: Under the direction of Michael Meraw, the Undergraduate Opera Studio, or UGOS, as the kids call it, is a unique part of NEC’s opera program because it gives younger vocalists opportunities to perform. There will be two different casts, so be sure to catch both performances. Opera was Mozart’s bread and butter, and no opera of his is more memorable.
Turkish Songs of Protest
MARCH 27, 8:00 PM, JORDAN HALL WHAT IS IT? Robert Labaree and The Dünya Ensemble perform music based on the poetry of Ottoman men and women who have questioned political and religious authority. WHAT YOU’LL HEAR: The exotic sounds of Turkish vocal music, accompanied by instruments like the çeng and ud. These songs speak out in a different way than the protest we know in American history. WHY IT’S COOL: The Dünya Ensemble will perform songs that “encompass classical compositions of the palace, blunt women's complaints from the countryside, songs which mingle the religious and the secular, songs which express longing and intimacy across ethnic and religious boundaries, 'blasphemous' songs by heterodox Muslims, open professions of erotic love (conventional and unconventional), and defenses of controversial practices like music and the drinking of alcohol.” –Robert Labaree

NEC Philharmonia + Wilkins
MARCH 31, 8:00 PM, JORDAN HALL WHAT IS IT? Philharmonia takes the stage once more with conductor Christopher Wilkins. WHAT YOU’LL HEAR: Part of the Music: Truth to Power festival this year, this concert features the boundary-breaking The General Slocum and Yale-Princeton Football Game of Ives, Minsung Kim taking on Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No. 2, and Berlioz’ wild Symphonie Fantastique.
COURTESY AKRON SYMPHONY

MARCH 13, 2014
WHY IT’S COOL: The programmatic story behind Symphonie Fantastique is a portrait of Berlioz’ own struggles as an artist. The music lets you get into the mind of an artist filled with imagination, passion, and despair, and Philharmonia is sure to play the stuffing out of it. Ives took subject matter from newspaper headlines to create the two pieces on this program. Finally, the cello concerto, haunting and exciting, calls for some incredibly virtuosic and expressive playing from the soloist.
