WELCOME The space that music can occupy can truly be remarkable, whether it be intensely intimate or epically massive in scale. And as visionary composers create inventive new compositions that require unique settings or arrangements of musicians for their full realization, these ever present spatial works solidify why the Park Avenue Armory has reimagined itself as a home for unconventional works in the performing and visual arts that are not able to be realized in traditional concert halls or museums. Since our first production in 2007, the Armory has opened its doors to artists, directors, and impresarios who have provided audiences with immersive performances and installations that could not happen elsewhere in New York and are still revered as major happenings in the cultural life of the city. Circle Map continues the Armory’s commitment to presenting groundbreaking realizations of music that require a massive space while engaging audiences in innovative ways. Some of these events have included the New York and indoor premiere of John Luther Adams’ Inuksuit performed by dozens of percussionists throughout the Armory’s drill hall and historic head house; Karlheinz Stockhausen’s electronic masterpiece OKTOPHONIE in a lunar environment created by Rirkrit Tiravanija; the New York Philharmonic performing Stockhausen’s sonic masterpiece Gruppen and other works as part of Philharmonic 360; and Bernd Alois Zimmermann’s harrowing Die Soldaten, in which the audience moved “through the music” and a 110-piece orchestra. We are thrilled to welcome the New York Philharmonic back to the Armory to once again lend their exceptional musicianship to these luminous works, as well as the imaginative living composer Kaija Saariaho, who has carefully crafted a program of her works—many of which have never-before been heard by New York audiences—specifically for the Wade Thompson Drill Hall. We are also excited to welcome for the first time exceptional artists EsaPekka Salonen, Kari Kriikku, and Jennifer Zetlan. It is a privilege when we are able to utilize our space to realize mysterious, atmospheric, and theatrical soundscapes of this magnitude, while breaking down the barrier between the audience and the music—exactly as the composer dreamed it.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM BY KAIJA SAARIAHO In choosing the program for this evening, we started with some of my more recent orchestral works, ones not yet heard by New York audiences. But soon the project grew into a rare collaboration of artists, some of whom I have worked with individually before—Esa-Pekka Salonen, Pierre Audi, Jean-Baptiste Barrière, Kari Kriikku—and some who were new to me, such as Jennifer Tipton and Jennifer Zetlan. Thus the Circle Map project gradually developed, under the guidance of Pierre Audi, into a grand opening for a very particular fall with my music in New York! This program also points to some other important performances to come: the material for Lumière et Pesanteur comes from my staged oratorio La Passion de Simone; Lonh and Circle Map introduce my propensity for texts and the Orient as well as for a visual portrait concert with solo pieces and electronics. D’OM LE VRAI SENS reflects my affection for medieval arts, and as a totality this concert leads the way to my opera L’Amour de loin, in which many aspects of the music heard here are brought together. I thank with my whole heart the entire group of artists, the Park Avenue Armory, and the New York Philharmonic for bringing this concert into reality!
LUMIÈRE ET PESANTEUR (2009) For orchestra
Lumière et pesanteur is a gift for Esa-Pekka Salonen, inspired by his performance of my La Passion de Simone in Los Angeles in January, 2009. This piece is an arrangement based on the eight stations of La Passion, which I know that he especially likes.
D’OM LE VRAI SENS (2010) Concerto for clarinet and orchestra
The idea of a clarinet concerto for Kari Kriikku had been going round in my mind for some years. While I was composing my second opera (Adriana Mater, 2006) the clarinet part began to be increasingly soloistic, and I found the instrument was speaking to me in a new way. I set about planning a concerto but did not begin actually composing it until autumn of 2009. The form was inspired by six medieval tapestries, The Lady and the Unicorn, in which each tapestry depicts, with rich symbolism, the five senses and a “sixth sense” – whatever that is (emotion? love?). I had already seen the tapestries in the Musée national du Moyen Age (the Medieval Museum) in Paris while seeking material for my first opera, L’Amour de loin, and their richness also inspired the exhibition La Dame à Licorne I held with artist Raija Malka in 1993. The tapestries are named after the five senses, and I have titled the movements of my concerto accordingly: L’Ouïe (“Hearing”), La Vue (“Sight”), Le Toucher (“Touch”), L’Odorat (“Smell”), Le Goût (“Taste”) and the ambiguous A mon seul Désir, which could be translated as “To my only desire.” The name and subject matter of the sixth tapestry have been widely interpreted and examined. What interested me in particular was an article about the meanings hidden in the letters of the name of the sixth tapestry. One of these is D’OM LE VRAI SENS. This is medieval French and alludes both to the senses and to the true meaning of humankind. All this was, of course, just the initial impetus for composition. Using the names of the different senses as the headings for the movements gave me ideas for how to handle the musical material and for the overall drama. In the first movement (“Hearing”), the calmly breathing orchestra is interrupted by a call from the clarinet. “Sight” opens up a more mobile landscape in which the orchestra is positioned behind the solo instrument to develop the musical motifs this supplies. “Smell” is color music. I associate the harmony with scent; it is immediately recognizable intuitively and the impression is too quick for thought. The clarinet languidly spreads its color over the orchestra, where it hovers, transforming as it passes from one instrument to another.
While composing the last movement I experienced a sense of entering a new, intimate, and timeless dimensionality. The end of a work is always the last chance to discover its quintessence. I often approach it by stripping the music down to its most ascetic elements. Here, too. It came as a surprise even to me that the work began to come alive in its space, and that the clarinet—itself a unicorn—plays only some of its music in the soloist’s position. This appropriation of space became an inherent element of the work at the composition stage. D’OM LE VRAI SENS is dedicated to Kari Kriikku, whose vast experience and frequent consultations were invaluable to me in composing the solo part.
LONH (1996)
For soprano and electronics The title Lonh, meaning far away or distant, comes from the old Provençal language, in which the text is sung. The text itself, a poem about love from afar, famous among scholars of mediaeval poetry, is attributed to the mediaeval troubadour Jaufré Rudel. Formally, the piece loosely follows the form of the poem, and is thus divided into nine sections. Some of the symmetrical and repeating aspects are found in the solo soprano part, which as such uses rather freely the elements for the original text, so that the resulting text is rather a collage based on Rudel’s song. In the electronic part, one can hear the text in three languages: Occitan (Provençal), French, and English. The texts in Occitan were read by the poet Jacques Roubaud—who has intensively studied this poem and also translated it into French —and also by Julie Parsillé, a young French girl. The French version was read by Jean-Baptiste Barrière, and the English text by Dawn Upshaw, whose recorded singing voice is also part of the sonic material heard from the electronic part. This vocal material, as well as some concrete sounds including birds, wind, and rain, were processed with a large variety of IRCAM transformation programs, such as resonant filters (Chant program), cross-synthesis, and me stretching with the phase-vocoder (AudioSculpt program). After a preliminary mixing with ProTools, the sound materials were projected into a virtual acoustic, moved through a three-dimensional space (Spatialisateur program on the IRCAM Music Workstation). The work for the electronic part has been realized at IRCAM with the assistance of Gilbert Nouno, and with the help and supervision of Jean-Baptiste Barrière. Lonh is a prologue for my first opera L’Amour de loin, and is dedicated to Dawn Upshaw. “From afar” When the days are long in May The sweet song of birds from afar Seems lovely to me And when I have left there I remember a distant love I walk bent and bowed with desire So much so that neither song nor Hawthorn flower Please me more than the icy winter. Never will I enjoy love If I do not enjoy this distant love For a nobler or better one I do not know Anywhere, neither near nor far So high is its true, real price That there, in the kingdom of the Saracens I wish to be proclaimed her captive.
In “Touch,” the soloist arouses each instrumental section in turn from the pulseless, slightly dreamy state of the previous movement. This is the concerto’s liveliest movement, and the most virtuosic in the traditional sense, with the clarinet and orchestra engaging in a dialogical relationship. The fifth movement (“Taste”) is dominated by rough surfaces, tremolos, and trills, which the clarinet serves to the orchestra around it. 2

Sad and joyous, I will separate from her When I see that distant love But I know not when I will see her For our lands are too far away There are so many passages and paths And in this I am no seer But let everything be according to God’s will.
The best introduction for Circle Map is to read the poems by Rumi!
I will feel joy for sure when I ask her For the love of God the distant love And if it pleases her I will live Near her even if I am from far away Then will come our faithful meeting When I, the faraway lover, Will be so near That I will console myself With her beautiful words.
II. Walls Closing Seeing you heals me. Not seeing you, I feel the walls closing. I would not wish for anyone else such absence.
I. Morning Wind The morning wind spread its fresh smell. We must get up and take that in, that wind that lets us live. Breathe, before it’s gone.
III. Circles Walk to the well. Turn as the earth and the moon turn, circling what they love. Whatever circles comes from the center.
I really trust in the Lord Through whom I will see The distant love But for something that fails me I have two sorrows for she is So far away Ah, if only I were a pilgrim there So that my stick and my bundle Could be seen by her lovely eyes.
IV. Days Are Sieves Days are sieves to filter spirit, reveal impurities, and too, show the light of some who throw their own shining into the universe. V. Dialogue I am so small I can barely be seen. How can this great love be inside me? Look at your eyes. They are small, but they see enormous things.
God who made everything That comes and goes And formed this distant love Grant me the power of my heart Soon to see the distant love
IV. Day and Night, Music All day and night, music, a quiet, bright reedsong. If it fades, we fade.
Truly in a propitious place And that the room and garden Always appear as palaces to me. He speaks true who says I am avid And longing for the distant love For no joy gives me pleasure Like the pleasure of the distant love But what I want is forbidden to me So my godfather endowed me That though loving I will not have been loved But what I want is forbidden to me So may my godfather be cursed Who made me not to be loved.
Translations from Unseen Rain: Quatrains of Rumi, by John Moyne and Coleman Barks Threshold Books, Putney, Vermont 1986
CIRCLE MAP (2012)
For orchestra and electronics Six quatrains by the 13th-century Persian poet Rumi have been both inspiration and part of the musical material for Circle Map. The inspiration came from their sense and the mental images when reading them in English translations. The same texts then opened to me differently with their more abstract rhythm and musicality, when I studied the recordings we made, read in the original Persian language by Archia Cont. These recordings then became the main material for the electronic part, and they were processed and mixed in the space. In concert these sounds are diffused across six loudspeakers surrounding the audience. All the work concerning the electronics was realized with Jean-Baptiste Barrière. Each movement has a singular relation to a poem, a particular orchestration, and the processing of the texts in the electronics varies; the character, pitch, and tone of the original voice is also changing from one movement to another. Also much of the musical material for the orchestra is created based on the recorded readings. A clear example of this is the relation of the orchestra and the text in the second movement, Walls closing. This movement ends in a rhythmic unison by orchestra and the voice, and the instruments also follow the pitches and intonations of the original speech. armoryonpark.org

ABOUT THE ARTISTS Kaija Saariaho (composer) is a prominent member of a group of Finnish composers and performers who are now, in mid-career, making a worldwide impact. Born in Helsinki in 1952, she studied at the Sibelius Academy there with the pioneering modernist Paavo Heininen and, with Magnus Lindberg and others, she founded the progressive “Ears Open” group. She continued her studies in Freiburg with Brian Ferneyhough and Klaus Huber, at the Darmstadt summer courses, and, from 1982, at the IRCAM research institute in Paris—the city which has been most of the time her home ever since. At IRCAM, Ms. Saariaho developed techniques of computer-assisted composition and acquired fluency in working on tape and with live electronics. This experience influenced her approach to writing for orchestra, with its emphasis on the shaping of dense masses of sound in slow transformations. Significantly, her first orchestral piece, Verblendungen (1984), involves a gradual exchange of roles and character between orchestra and tape. And even the titles of her next, linked, pair of orchestral works, Du Cristal (1989) and …à la Fumée (1990)—the latter with solo alto flute and cello, and both with live electronics—suggest their preoccupation with color and texture. Before coming to work at IRCAM, Ms. Saariaho learned to know the French spectralist composers, whose techniques are based on computer analysis of the sound-spectrum. This analytical approach inspired her to develop her own method for creating harmonic structures, as well as the detailed notation using harmonics, microtonaly and detailed continuum of sound extending from pure tone to unpitched noise – all features found in one of her most frequently performed works, Graal théâtre for violin and orchestra or ensemble (1994/97). Later Ms. Saariaho turned to opera, with outstanding success. L’Amour de loin, with a libretto by Amin Maalouf based on an early biography of the 12th-century troubadour Jaufré Rudel, received widespread acclaim in its premiere production directed by Peter Sellars at the 2000 Salzburg Festival, and won the composer a prestigious Grawemeyer Award. Adriana Mater, on an original libretto by Maalouf, mixing gritty present-day reality and dreams, followed, again directed by Sellars, at the Opéra Bastille in Paris in March 2006. Emilie, an opera and monodrama for Karita Mattila had its premiere in Lyon in March 2010. Around the operas there have been other vocal works, notably the ravishing Château de l’âme (1996), Oltra mar (1999), and the song-cycle Quatre instants (2002). And the oratorio La Passion de Simone, portraying the life and death of the philosopher Simone Weil, formed part of Sellars’s international New Crowned Hope Festival in 2006-2007. The chamber version of the oratorio was premiered by La Chambre aux echos at the Bratislava Melos Ethos Festival in 2013. The experience of writing for voices has led to some clarification of Ms. Saariaho’s language, with a new vein of modally oriented melody accompanied by more regular repeating patterns. This change of direction has been carried over into orchestral works including Aile du songe for flute and chamber orchestra (2001) and the stunning Orion for large orchestra (2002), Notes on Light (2006) for cello and orchestra and Bergman inspired Laterna Magica (2008), written for Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker, D’om le Vrai Sens (2010) was written for clarinetist Kari Kriikku, and Maan Varjot (2013) for organ and orchestra, among others. In the profusion of large and small works which Ms. Saariaho has produced in recent years, two features which have marked her whole career continue to stand out. One is a close and productive association with individual artists—not least Amin Maalouf and Peter Sellars, as well as the conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen, the flautist Camilla Hoitenga, the cellist Anssi Karttunen, the soprano Dawn Upshaw, and the pianists Emmanuel Ax and Tuija Hakkila. The other is a concern, shown equally in her choice of subject matter and texts and in the profusion of expression marks in her scores, to make her music not a working-out of abstract processes but an urgent communication from composer to listener of ideas, images and emotions. Ms. Saariaho has claimed the major composing awards in The Grawemeyer Award, The Wihuri Prize, The Nemmers Prize and in 2011, was awarded The Sonning Prize. In May 2013, Ms. Saariaho was awarded the Polar Music Prize. In 2015 she was the judge of the Toru Takemitsu Composition Award. Always keen on strong educational programs, she was the music mentor of the 2014-2015 Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative and was in residence at U.C. Berkeley Music Department in the autumn of 2015. Her most recent opera—Only the Sound Remains—premiered in March 2016 at the Dutch National Opera, with performances following in Paris, Helsinki, Madrid, and Toronto. Kaija Saariaho’s harp concerto Trans received its world premiere in August 2016 by Xavier de Maistre and the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Ernest Martinez-Izquierdo at the Suntory Hall, Tokyo.

Esa-Pekka Salonen (conductor)—who in 2016–2017 enters the second of his three seasons as The Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence at the New York Philharmonic—is principal conductor and artistic advisor of London’s Philharmonia Orchestra and conductor laureate of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, where he was music director from 1992 until 2009. He is artistic director and co-founder of the annual Baltic Sea Festival, which invites celebrated artists to promote unity and ecological awareness among the countries around the Baltic Sea. Mr. Salonen’s work as a composer combines intricacy and technical virtuosity with playful rhythmic and melodic innovations. His pieces for symphony orchestra include LA Variations (1996), Foreign Bodies (2001), Insomnia (2002), Wing on Wing (2004), and Nyx (2011), as well as two concertos: for pianist Yefim Bronfman (co-commissioned and premiered by the New York Philharmonic) and for violinist Leila Josefowicz. The latter was awarded the prestigious Grawemeyer Award and was featured in a 2014 international Apple ad campaign for iPad. In 2014 Zurich’s Tonhalle Orchestra, where he was the first-ever Creative Chair, premiered Karawane, for orchestra and chorus, to great acclaim. Karawane was performed in the 2015–2016 season by the New York Philharmonic and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, two of the work’s co-commissioners, as well as by the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. In August 2015, Mr. Salonen led the Philharmonia Orchestra at the Edinburgh International Festival and the BBC Proms. In the 2015–2016 season he took the Philharmonia Orchestra on tour to Switzerland and France and led the Myths and Rituals: Stravinsky’s Journeys festival, an exploration of Stravinsky’s work that continues into next season. Also in the 2015–2016 season, Mr. Salonen made conducting appearances with the NDR, Bavarian Radio, and Chicago symphony orchestras; New York, Vienna, and Los Angeles philharmonic orchestras; Orchestre de Paris; and the joint forces of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, united for the first time. He also conducted Richard Strauss’s Elektra at The Metropolitan Opera and Bartók’s Bluebeard’s Castle and Poulenc’s La Voix Humaine at the Paris Opéra. Throughout their relationship, Mr. Salonen and London’s Philharmonia Orchestra have curated landmark multidisciplinary projects, such as the award-winning RE-RITE and Universe of Sound installations, which allow the public to conduct, play, and step inside the orchestra with Mr. Salonen through audio and video projections of musicians in performance. He also drove the development of The Orchestra, a widely hailed iPad app that allows the user unprecedented access to eight symphonic works. Kari Kriikku (clarinet) is a champion of contemporary music, joining Quatour Diotima in the 2016-2017 season for a new chamber work by Kaija Saariaho, Figura, which includes presentations at Paris’s Présence Festival and the Venice Biennale. Mr. Kriikku co-commissioned Michel van der Aa’s work for small ensemble and electronics, Hysterisis, which he performs with the Tapiola Sinfonietta, in its Finnish and Dutch Premieres with Lapland Chamber Orchestra and John Storgårds, and at Amsterdam’s Royal Concertgebouw with the Amsterdam Sinfonietta; he will also record the work. He performs Magnus Lindberg’s Kraft in Luxembourg as a member of the Toimii! Ensemble, and appears with RTÉ Orchestra Dublin led by Sachio Fujioka, Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra with Susanna Mälkki, Iceland Symphony Orchestra with Anna-Maria Helsing, and Lahti Symphony Orchestra with Dima Slobodeniouk. In previous seasons, Mr. Kriikku has performed new works including Unsuk Chin’s Clarinet Concerto (2014), giving the world premiere with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra and Kent Nagano and the U.S. premiere with the New York Philharmonic and Music Director Alan Gilbert; he also performed it with the WDR Symphony Orchestra Cologne, Barcelona Symphony Orchestra, London’s Philharmonia Orchestra with Nicholas Collon, BBC Scottish and Malmö Symphony Orchestras with Ilan Volkov, Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra with Jukka-Pekka Saraste, and Netherlands Radio Philharmonic with Xian Zhang at Amsterdam’s Royal Concertgebouw. Mr. Kriikku has recorded these works for the Ondine label, as well as Jukka Tiensuu’s Missa with the Helsinki Philharmonic and John Storgårds, and Lindberg’s Clarinet Concerto (nominated for a 2006 Gramophone Award). The recording of D’OM LE VRAI SENS with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, led by Sakari Oramo, won the Jury Award at the 2013 BBC Music Magazine Awards. Mr. Kriikku is also artistic director of Avanti! Chamber Orchestra, and in June 2009 he received the Nordic Council Music Prize. Jennifer Zetlan (soprano) has appeared on the stages of The Metropolitan Opera, New York City Opera, Seattle Opera, Santa Fe Opera, and Florida Grand Opera. She has performed in concert with the New York Philharmonic, The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Indianapolis Symphony, and The Juilliard Orchestra, and has been heard at Carnegie Hall in recital and with the Oratorio Society of New York, Musica Sacra, and the New York Youth Symphony.

She made her Santa Fe Opera debut as Sardula in Menotti’s The Last Savage, sang Despina in Mozart’s Così fan tutte with the Milwaukee Symphony, and performed Gilda in Verdi’s Rigoletto and The Flier in the world premiere of Daron Hagen’s Amelia, both with Seattle Opera. Pierre Audi (mise-en-espace) is a critically acclaimed director and artistic director, serving jointly as the artistic director of Park Avenue Armory and the director of the Dutch National Opera. He founded the Almeida Theatre in London, which, under his direction, has established an international reputation for producing provocative new plays and musical commissions; introducing a vast number of then-living composers to the U.K., from Cage to Schnittke and Arvo Pärt; and mounting for the first time in the U.K. works by Robert Wilson, Deborah Warner, Simon McBurney, and Robert Lepage, among others. Appointed head of the Dutch National Opera in 1988, Mr. Audi was the youngest opera leader at the time and today is the longest serving in the world. His numerous critically acclaimed performances include his staging of Wagner’s Ring cycle, in which the orchestra was set in the middle of the stage, and his now-classic Monteverdi cycle, which has been presented at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Sydney Festival, and Los Angeles Opera. Mr. Audi has also worked as a guest director at a number of opera and theater companies, including The Metropolitan Opera, Paris Opéra, Ruhrtriennale, Salzburg Festival, and Vienna Staatsoper.

The New York Philharmonic plays a leading cultural role in New York City, the United States, and the world. This season’s projects will connect the Philharmonic with up to 50 million music lovers through live concerts in New York City and on its worldwide tours and residencies; digital recording series; international broadcasts on television, radio, and online; and as a resource through its wide range of education programs and the New York Philharmonic Leon Levy Digital Archives. In the 2016– 2017 season the New York Philharmonic celebrates its 175th anniversary and Alan Gilbert’s farewell season as Music Director. The Orchestra has commissioned and/or premiered works by leading composers from every era since its founding in 1842—including Dvořák’s New World Symphony, John Adams’s Pulitzer Prize–winning On the Transmigration of Souls, dedicated to the victims of 9/11, and Magnus Lindberg’s Piano Concerto No. 2. Renowned around the globe, the Philharmonic has appeared in 432 cities in 63 countries—including the groundbreaking 1930 tour of Europe; the unprecedented 1959 tour to the USSR; the historic 2008 visit to Pyongyang, D.P.R.K., the first there by an American orchestra; and the Orchestra’s debut in Hanoi, Vietnam, in 2009. The New York Philharmonic serves as a resource for its community and the world. It complements its annual free concerts across the city—including the Concerts in the Parks, Presented by Didi and Oscar Schafer—with Philharmonic Free Fridays and a wide range of education programs, among them the famed, long-running Young People’s Concerts and Philharmonic Schools, an immersive classroom program that reaches thousands of New York City students. The Orchestra established the New York Philharmonic Global Academy—collaborations with partners worldwide offering training of pre-professional orchestral musicians, often alongside performance residencies—following the launch of the flagship collaboration with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra and Shanghai Conservatory of Music, including the formation of the Shanghai Orchestra Academy. Additional Global Academy partners include Santa Barbara’s Music Academy of the West and The Shepherd School of Music at Rice University. The oldest American symphony orchestra and one of the oldest in the world, the New York Philharmonic has made more than 2,000 recordings since 1917, including several Grammy Award winners, and its self-produced digital recording series continues in the 2016–2017 season. Music Director Alan Gilbert began his tenure in September 2009, succeeding a distinguished line of 20th-century musical giants that includes Leonard Bernstein, Arturo Toscanini, and Gustav Mahler.

ABOUT THE ARMORY Part American palace, part industrial shed, Park Avenue Armory is dedicated to supporting unconventional works in the visual and performing arts that need nontraditional spaces for their full realization, enabling artists to create, students to explore, and audiences to consume epic and adventurous presentations that can not be mounted elsewhere in New York City. In its first nine years, the Armory opened its doors to visionary artists, directors, and impresarios who provided extraordinary experiences in a range of art forms. Such was its impact that in December 2011, The New York Times noted, “Park Avenue Armory… has arrived as the most important new cultural institution in New York City.” The Armory’s arts education initiative offers programs at no cost to underserved New York City public school students and includes Production-based Programming, in which students attend major productions of music, theater, dance, and visual art, and participate in pre- and post-visit workshops with the Armory’s talented corps of teaching artists; the School Partnership Initiative, in which deeper relationships with underserved public schools are created through attendance at productions, in-school residencies, workshops, and end-of-term events in the Armory’s historic rooms; and the Armory Youth Corps, a paid and closely-mentored internship program focusing on at-risk high school students. Built between 1877 and 1881, Park Avenue Armory has been hailed as containing “the single most important collection of nineteenth century interiors to survive intact in one building” by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. The 55,000-square-foot Wade Thompson Drill Hall, with an 80-foot-high barrel vaulted roof, is one of the largest unobstructed spaces in New York City. The Armory’s magnificent reception rooms were designed by leaders of the American Aesthetic Movement, among them Louis Comfort Tiffany, Stanford White, Candace Wheeler, and Herter Brothers. The building is currently undergoing a $210-million renovation designed by Herzog & de Meuron and Platt Byard Dovell White Architects as Executive Architects.

ARTISTS STUDIO
CAMILLE NORMENT & CRAIG TABORN
RYAN TRECARTIN & LIZZIE FITCH
october 16
november 21
Ms. Norment’s instruments “can trespass the border between what is considered beautiful and what is considered noise.” —The Wall Street Journal “…an inspired bandleader-composer, one of the smartest and slipperiest in his peer group” —The New York Times on Craig Taborn Representing Norway at the 2015 Venice Biennial, multimedia artist Camille Norment uses the notion of cultural psychoacoustics to explore the perception of sound through installation, sculpture, and performance. She is joined by improvising pianist, composer, and electronic musician Craig Taborn for a performance that blends the pair’s unique styles and instruments, from the piano to electronics to the rare glass armonica. Having known each other since their college days, the duo now partner for the very first time in a presentation that traces the fringes of sound, perception, and historical memory and perfectly marries with the varying aesthetics of the space.
RECITAL SERIES
JACK QUARTET october 30–31
“Every JACK concert transcends a run-of-the-mill performance and becomes a true event.” —Time Out New York Known as “superheroes of the new music world” (The Boston Globe), JACK Quartet has emerged over the past decade as the go-to ensemble for contemporary music with their impeccable musicianship, intellectual ferocity, and a take-no-prisoners sense of commitment. This virtuosic young ensemble perform the world premiere of Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Roger Reynolds’s FLiGHT, an exploration of humankind’s aspirations to fly through musical composition for string quartet, realtime computer-derived sound, readings, and projections.
“There is nothing else in today’s art world even remotely like Ryan Trecartin‘s videos,” proclaimed Art in America. “It’s a sci-fi theater of the absurd for our manically paced YouTube era.“ Within these fluidly structured and visually commanding works, Trecartin’s groundbreaking sound design—a densely layered mix of rapid-fire dialogue, electronic music and live instrumentation—extends the depth, intensity, and insane hilarity of his art. He is joined by his principal collaborator Lizzie Fitch to present their buoyant, digitally-inflected scores live for the very first time.
MANIFESTO
december 7–january 8 “It is both a confirmation of Blanchett’s sheer presence and acumen as an actor and Rosefeldt’s shrewdness and intellect as an artist.” —Sydney Morning Herald Drawing on more than 50 manifestos by artists, architects, choreographers, and filmmakers, this highly theatrical film installation by cinematographer and video artist Julian Rosefeldt reinterprets these famous texts as poetic monologues to provoke timeless questions about the gendered, social, and political contexts that shape the artist’s role in society. Academy Award-winner Cate Blanchett connects these artistic declarations to the humanity of everyday characters and actions in a tour-de-force of acting represented on 13 different screens, boldly recapturing the defiant spirit of its source material for a contemporary audience.
RECITAL SERIES
KATE ROYAL, soprano JOSEPH MIDDLETON, piano november 18–20
“Ms. Royal produces an attractive, fully focused sound, but her most compelling quality as an interpreter is an ability to offset the polished surface of a trained voice with the passion and the sense of collective memory, however illusory, that folk singers bring to their art.” —The New York Times British lyric soprano Kate Royal has generated significant excitement among fans of great singing with appearances at the Metropolitan Opera, Glyndebourne Festival, Paris Opera, Royal Opera Covent Garden, and the English National Opera. Equally at home on the recital stage, the “elegant, thoughtful singer” (The New York Times) comes to the Board of Officers Room to perform an artfully-curated selection of lieder and song by Robert and Clara Schumann, Mahler, and Samuel Barber.
