Something old, something new… … Musical theatre and lyric opera, too!

By Becca Vaclavik According to Chellis—as both CU programs continue to train well-rounded vocalists this spring and beyond—local audiences can expect many more such collaborations.

“The energy of these students and this type of program adds a new dimension to the college, as a whole. The students themselves are introducing a lot of music that their classical peers may not have heard.”

Golden age musicals have long been part of the Eklund Opera repertoire. Over the years, our College of Music’s opera program has presented works like The Music Man, West Side Story and Oklahoma! alongside opera standards like La Bohème and Die Zauberflöte. This March, Eklund Opera is teaming up with the college’s relatively new BM/MT Program— that’s Bachelor of Music in Musical Theatre—to remount its 1997 Guys and Dolls production designed

by Peter Dean Beck.

It’s a fitting collaboration, given the trends in acting and dance at the professional level, says Associate Professor of Voice Matthew Chellis, who leads the BM/MT Program.

“The world of musical theatre has never been more popular,” he explains. “And there’s a component of new opera works that’s more akin to theatre than opera.”

2021-22 Season

For those who prefer the experimental to the classic, Eklund Opera will tackle a stark contrast to Guys and Dolls in April: Dominick Argento’s Postcard from Morocco. For those who aren’t familiar, Postcard is a moving and artful, surrealist lyric opera from the 1970s. With orchestrations that borrow from Richard Wagner to ragtime, the one-act is an unusual but beautiful exploration of the human spirit. It features a series of vignettes that offer a peek at humanity rather than a specific plot structure. It’s witty, sensitive, and the sort of work you simply have to experience to understand.

Whatever your musical leanings, the uber talented College of Music vocalists have you covered. Join us for one, both, or any number of our free events happening across CU Presents venues this spring.

 Catch Guys and Dolls in Macky Auditorium, March 11-13. Postcard from Morocco runs April 21-24 in the Music Theatre. Tickets for both productions are available at cupresents.org.

2021-22 Season

Danú’s take on the “trad sesh”

By Becca Vaclavik You probably know what a “trad sesh” is, even if you aren’t familiar with the term itself.

Picture a dimly lit, stone-walled pub. A fire is crackling in the hearth. You sit at a corner table, sipping a dark, rich, foamy beer. Nearby, a group of musicians take out their instruments—a fiddle, a small drum, a recorder—and begin to play a reel.

Trad seshes (as in traditional sessions) are pub performances of Irish folk music. And while Macky Auditorium certainly isn’t a cozy little bar on the Emerald Isle, Danú—one of today’s leading traditional Irish ensembles—promises to bring the vibrant energy of a trad sesh to the hall on March 16.

Hailing from Counties Waterford, Cork, Dublin and Donegal in Ireland, Danú formed in 1995 as part of Ireland's delegation to the Lorient Inter-Celtic Festival in Brittany, France (the biggest annual gathering of celtic nations in the world). In the decades since, the players of Danú have performed jigs, reels and hornpipes to the delight of audiences worldwide, leading them to be called “impressive, immersive, and uniquely and unmistakably Irish” (Strings Magazine).

But what does “unmistakably Irish” mean? What makes trad music, well, traditional?

Live music performance is a cornerstone of Irish culture, particularly in rural areas where, historically, literacy rates were low and electricity was limited.

Gathering around a fire to share stories, play native instruments and dance became an important part of a community’s social activity. For hundreds of years, traditional Irish music wasn’t written down and its knowledge was simply handed down from generation to generation through performance. Today, such performances have become a living oral tradition.

Each performer offers their own unique spin on the artform, and as memories and habits change, the tradition slowly but surely evolves. (continued on next page) @cupresents · #cupresents

But as is often the case with cultural institutions, traditional Irish music can be difficult to define precisely. According to the Irish Traditional Music Archive, it’s “best understood as a very broad term that includes many different types of singing and instrumental music, music of many periods, as performed by Irish people in Ireland or outside it, and occasionally nowadays by people of other nationalities.” Admittedly, that’s not an overwhelmingly exact definition, though when it comes to Irish trad music: you know it when you hear it.

That’s because certain instruments are hallmarks of traditional Irish music. The fiddle, a simple handheld drum called a bodhrán (pronounced bow-rawn), tin whistles (small, slender recorder-like instruments), harps and Uilleann pipes are all common contributors.

Other instruments—while not strictly Irish in origin, like the concertina and the bouzouki—have also made their way into Ireland’s unique and recognizable sound.

From lively, toe-tapping jigs to melancholy ballads sung in both Irish and English, a performance list might feature songs about love and lullabies, travel and the sea, history and war stories, or simply “drinking.” (Yes, it’s its own theme.) Indeed, while Danú will announce their specific repertoire from the stage, audiences can expect hornpipes, reels and other favorites like “The Foggy Dew,” “Ten Thousand Miles” and “Mo Ghile Mear.”

It promises to be an evening that’s a bit rustic, a bit traditional and every bit engaging. Our recommendation? Swing by a pub beforehand for warm shepherd’s pie or close out the night with your feet propped in front of a warm fire.

 Join us for Danú’s “Traditional Music of Ireland”

on March 16 as part of your St. Patrick’s Day celebration! Tickets start at $23 at cupresents.org.

Celebrate Paddy’s Day the Irish Way Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day like a true Dubliner this March 17, with this list of “must do’s” as shared by The Irish Post.

A “Fry Up”

Whether you plan to spend the day in a religious fashion, a drinking fashion, or both, the day starts the same way: with a big brunch featuring eggs, sausage, bacon and (if you’re willing) black pudding.

Attend Mass

The Feast of St. Patrick has become a cultural holiday celebrating all of Ireland, but its roots are Catholic. St. Patrick’s Day mass is considered a special event in Ireland, featuring stories about St. Patrick’s life, as well other unique elements like performances by children’s school choirs.

Join the Parade

Dublin’s St. Patrick’s Day parade draws up to half a million people to the streets of the capital each year, but Paddy’s parades take place all over the world. Go for the floats and the puppets, stay for the live trad music.

Hit the Pub

If you’re so inclined and don’t mind crowds, top off the day with a pint. Just don’t forget to wear green!

Damon Runyon’s 1932 depression-era novels The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown and Blood Pressure inspired the creation of Frank Loesser’s Broadway musical Guys and Dolls, which opened on Broadway in 1950. The following year, Guys and Dolls won the Pulitzer Prize. Our production takes place at the time of the premiere.

Act I

In New York City, Sarah Brown and her fellow Save-a-Soul missionaries are proselytizing while gambler Nathan Detroit tries to come up with $1,000 to use Joey BiItmore’s garage for an illegal floating craps game. Running out of options, Nathan makes a bet against high roller Sky Masterson, who thinks he can get any “doll” he wants. Nathan bets that Sky can’t get Sarah Brown to fly with him to Havana. After a failed attempt at wooing Sarah, Sky convinces her to join him for dinner if he brings a dozen sinners to the mission meeting.

Nathan goes to watch his fiancée, Adelaide, perform at the Hot Box and learns that she has been sending her mother letters for 12 years claiming that they are married with five children.

Adelaide finds out that Nathan is still running the craps game, despite earlier promises to quit, and she kicks him out.

Sky takes Sarah to dinner in Cuba, where he feeds her “Cuban milkshakes,” which she doesn’t realize are alcoholic. Sarah drunkenly kisses Sky, and he confesses his feelings for her. The two return to New York and discover Nathan held his craps game at Sarah’s mission. Sarah assumes Sky had something to do with it and walks out on him.

Act II

carried through on his promise and when a police officer named Brannigan arrives to arrest the craps game players, Sarah clears their names.

Sarah and Adelaide commiserate about the men they love. They resolve to marry them anyway and reform them later. A few weeks later, Sky—now married to Sarah—works at the mission band and has stopped gambling. Nathan owns a newsstand and has officially closed the craps game, and the characters celebrate as he and Adelaide finally marry.

Gaudeamus Award winner challenges status quo

By Sabine Kortals Stein and MarieFaith Lane

new queer era. She challenges societal norms and traditional ways of thinking—especially those that promote restrictive gender roles.

Among the three works that Socolofsky prepared for the international competition were Who am I to say? and The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows: Silience.

According to Socolofsky, the text of the former is derived from an English nursery rhyme that encourages young girls to fantasize about who their future husbands may be. Socolofsky challenges the idea that worth is based upon a future husband, which ingrains heteronormativity within our culture.

Assistant Professor of Composition and Pendulum New Music Director Annika Socolofsky is the most recent recipient of the prestigious Gaudeamus Award. Specifically, the 31-year-old was awarded a 5,000 euro commission and an instrument/sculpture named Inner Voice Amplifier, designed by visual artist Nuni Weisz.

“I was supposed to compete for the award in 2020, but the competition was postponed a year due to COVID,” recalls Socolofsky.

“I had a fabulous experience in The Netherlands last fall, working with a number of contemporary European ensembles.”

2021-22 Season

“While I was there in September, I had a new work premiered by the Zöllner-Roche Duo, I performed a feminist rager-lullaby of mine with the New European Ensemble and I had another piece of mine performed by Asko|Schönberg.”

She adds, “Gaudeamus brings in a new roster of guest ensembles every year and I will get to write for one of those guests in the coming years.”

The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows: Silience—commissioned

by Gaudeamus for the ZöllnerRoche Duo for Gaudeamus Muziekweek 2021—is especially close to Socolofsky’s heart, composed just after the tragic mass shooting in Boulder last spring and serving as a means for grieving and processing loss.

“As a composer, there is only one thing that I can do better than anyone else on the planet, and that’s to be fully me,” says Socolofsky.

“It’s my job as a composer to be genuinely and transparently (continued on next page)

myself in my music and that means embracing my love of other types of music, art and so on. To deny that would be to deny a part of myself.”

Educator

As an educator, Socolofsky is a strong proponent of the expansion of knowledge, simultaneously advocating for “un-becoming”— that is, unlearning societal expectations and conditioning to rediscover who we are and who we can become.

“My job is to help students find themselves and communicate themselves through their music by supporting them in composing the most powerful and intentional music they can,” says Socolofsky.

“My goal is to provide a space that recognizes and encompasses the loves and musicianship of each individual student.”

Socolofsky emphasizes the importance of exposing students to various types of music and genres outside of the contemporary classical music sphere. Indeed, the College of Music’s composition faculty recently hosted Vietnamese American composer Viet Cuong and Castle of Our Skins Founder Ashleigh Gordon while working to rebrand the college’s new music series (Pendulum) to be more inclusive of genre, aesthetic and style.

For Socolofsky, overhauling syllabi and class structure to “make my classroom as inclusive as possible” is also a top priority. “This includes using compositional examples written by women, trans, gender non-conforming, two spirit, BIPOC, non-European composers … and the many intersections of those identities,” she says. “It also means reaching outside of the

classical genre entirely for musical study and compositional examples relevant to course material.”

In Memoriam: Roger Tapping (1960-2022)

Roger Tapping died of cancer on Jan. 18 at his home in Manhattan. He was 61 and is survived by his wife Natasha Brofsky and children, Cordelia and Eleanor. for playing chamber music. He embodied the idea that music is full of possibilities, of many different convincing outcomes, as long as the intentions are sincere.

Roger was alert and reactive to the smallest spontaneous changes around him: variations in volume, phrase shape or mood. Whether in concert or rehearsal, you always knew that you could trust him: that he would be there, of course to express himself, but in large part to support his musical partners and communicate with our audiences.

The College of Music family is deeply saddened to learn of violist Roger Tapping's passing.

In 1995, Tapping had relocated from London, England, to join our Takács Quartet. During his decade with the quartet, their Decca/ London recordings—including the complete quartets of Bartók and Beethoven—placed them in Gramophone magazine’s Hall of Fame and won three Gramophone Awards, a Grammy and three more Grammy nominations. Tapping was beloved among his students, collaborators and audiences for his luminous talent and deep sense of humanity.

22

2021-22 Season

Writing on behalf of the Takács, Edward Dusinberre said: “Roger was such a warm and generous friend and colleague to us all, well beyond his time playing in the Takács. A deeply expressive, thoughtful musician, his playing was distinctive and at the same time infused with a vital quality of observation that was an invitation for us all to express ourselves. He played and listened in such a way as to ask, without needing to put it into words: ‘How do you want to play this phrase? Whatever it is, let’s try it.’

“Roger’s curiosity and generous spirit were an ideal foundation

“We sorely miss him but his personality and musicianship will continue to sustain not only us but the many other friends, colleagues and students who were lucky enough to come into contact with him. Thank you, Roger.” 

Thirst Colorado, the magazine of Centennial State lifestyles and craft libations, will publish its inaugural wine issue in July.

Colorado has two federally recognized American Viticultural Areas — the Grand Valley region near Palisade, and the West Elks region, around Paonia and Hotchkiss.

Their wineries are growing in both quality and stature, and becoming major travel destinations. And other wineries are filling bottles around the state (including a Denver winery that launched a canned wine revolution).

We want to toast this burgeoning Colorado industry. And you can be a part of the celebration. Help us raise a glass to Colorado wine by voting for your favorite Colorado wines, wineries and wine lists at:

You can also subscribe to our magazine for just $20 a year, or pick up an issue wherever you get quality Colorado craft libations.
