REENA ESMAIL composer Reena Esmail’s compositions have been heard in performances and festivals in the United States, Canada and Europe. She holds a bachelor’s degree from Juilliard and has studied composition with Susan Botti, Christopher Rouse, and Samuel Adler. She has won two ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Awards and was the inaugural recipient of the Milton and Sylvia Babbitt Scholarship for Women Composers at Juilliard. Esmail is currently pursuing a master’s degree in composition at the Yale School of Music, where she is a student of Christopher Theofanidis. As a pianist, Esmail was a winner in the mtac-wla Chamber Music Competition. She collaborates with Indian Carnatic singer Shobana Raghavan. Esmail is currently on the composition faculty at Manhattan School of Music.
ARIA notes Even though my heritage is Indian, my musical training has been solely in Western classical music. It is only recently that I have begun to learn about Hindustani (North Indian) classical music and incorporate its elements into my work. Though the combination of the unique sounds of these two types of music are interesting to explore, it is the differences between the cultures and traditions from which these sounds emerge that interest me the most. My aim is not to create music that sounds “fused” as much as music that builds on the values and principles from both cultures and musical traditions, and that can function in both.
Aria is my third and largest piece in this style (preceded by a piano quintet and a bassoon solo) and is my first attempt to incorporate a Hindustani classical musician. An aria is a form in Western classical opera, in which a solo singer, accompanied by an orchestra, expresses a sentiment while demonstrating vocal virtuosity. Here, I use the setting of an aria to create a window into the world of Hindustani vocal music. The orchestra follows the singer through the beginning of a Hindustani aalap (vocalise) section in Raag Todi, which falls away to an orchestral tutti on the themes of her phrases. She returns for a series of taans (fast virtuosic passages using sargam, or solfège) in Raag Yaman, and eventually begins to sing the antara (B section) of the traditional Hindustani bandish (composition) “Sakhi Eri Aali Piya Bina.” She then has a Western-style cadenza, and returns to sing the sthaayi (A section) of the same composition. As she sings in Yaman, bits of Todi seep through in a duet between the oboe and english horn. I would like to thank Meena Shivaram for her collaboration on Aria from its very beginning. Without her musical input, this piece could never have been written.
MEENA SHIVARAM soloist Meenakshi Shivaram has been trained in classical Indian vocal music from a young age. She received her Carnatic vocal training from C.S. Lakshmi and M.S. Sheela in India. Recently, she began studying Hindustani vocal under Pt. Nagaraj Rao Havaldar. She is from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and is currently a senior at Yale College, majoring in the Neuroscience track in Psychology.
ADRIAN KNIGHT composer Adrian Knight is a composer of electronic, orchestral, vocal and chamber music currently living and working in New Haven. He was born and raised in Uppsala, Sweden.

ANDY AKIHO composer // steel pans Andy Akiho is an eclectic composer whose interests run from steel pan to traditional classical music. His compositions have won prestigious awards including a 2010 Horatio Parker Award at the Yale School of Music, a 2009 ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composers
Award, and a 2008 Brian M. Israel Prize. Akiho’s works have been featured on PBS’s News Hour with Jim Lehrer and by organizations such as Meet the Composer, Bang on a Can, American Composers Forum, and the Syracuse Society for New Music. He has composed for the Bang on a Can Marathon, Red Line Saxophone Quartet, and the Playground Ensemble. Akiho’s compositions have been heard in venues such as John Zorn’s The Stone, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Merkin Hall, Mass MOCA, the Tank (NYC), and the St. James Theater (Port of Spain, Trinidad). A graduate of the University of South Carolina (BM, performance) and the Manhattan School of Music (MM, contemporary performance), Akiho is currently a master’s degree student in composition at the Yale School of Music. He has recently studied composition with Julia Wolfe and percussion with John Ferrari and Jeffrey Milarsky. At Yale, he has studied composition with Christopher Theofanidis and Ezra Laderman, and is currently studying with Martin Bresnick. As a percussionist Akiho has performed with numerous professional ensembles, and his immersion in various genres has given him a unique approach to his primary instrument,
the steel pan. Recent engagements include the South Carolina Philharmonic Orchestra, Ethos Percussion Group, Djoliba Don West African Drum and Dance Ensemble, Gamelan Lila Muni, and Island Close By Steel Band. He has participated in the world’s premier steel pan event, Panorama, and won Second Prize in the 2002 World Steelband Music Festival solo competition, where he premiered his own composition, Macqueripe. Since 2003, he has performed and taught steel pan extensively in New York City. As an educator, he serves as a lead teaching artist for ArtsConnection in New York. Akiho plans to continue his career as a performer while placing an emphasis on his chamber and orchestral compositions.

STEEL PAN CONCERTO notes The steel pan was the catalyst that led me to become a composer. I was first introduced to the instrument at the University of South Carolina in 1997, where I studied percussion under Jim Hall. After I finished my studies, I made four extensive visits to Trinidad to immerse myself in the culture of the music. I returned several times in subsequent years to study and perform with two of the greatest pioneers of the instrument—Len “Boogsie” Sharpe and
PROFILES + NOTES
Ray Holman. Encouraged by my experiences in Trinidad, I moved to the Caribbean community in Brooklyn, NY, in 2003. While in New York City, I had the opportunity to perform and learn from some of the greatest pan innovators including Scipio Sargeant, Eddie Quarless, Clive Bradley, and Freddy Harris III. Their positive influences ultimately led me to the Manhattan School of Music, where I began to compose new art music that often integrated the steel pan in combination with traditional classical instruments. My goal with this piece, and with my other pieces involving the steel pan in combination with traditional classical instruments, is to create sonorous textures that explore the frontiers of the instrument. I often find that compositions incorporating the steel pan outside of the pure Calypso and Soca genres use the instrument as a novelty gimmick without realizing the instrument’s full potential. I believe that the steel pan is an extremely versatile instrument capable of producing both an extraordinarily unique timbre and contributing to a homogenous orchestral texture. The configuration of the steel pans in this concerto consists of a “tenor pan” (soprano range: one instrument = one pan) centered between a set of “double seconds” (alto range: one instrument = two pans). These three pans are combined to create an extended range of three fully chromatic octaves from the E below middle C to the E above the treble staff; please see the diagram for a visual representation of this particular setup. There is also an optional fourth pan that is used only for percussive effects: rim clicks and “skirt” (side of the pan) hits.
OMAR SURILLO composer Omar Surillo (b. 1979, San Juan, PR) is a composer and multi-instrumentalist from the Orlando area. His talents made it possible to participate in various ensembles, both nationally and internationally, ranging from classical and jazz to rock music. Omar began taking piano lessons at the age of five. Soon after, he learned to play the guitar, followed by alto/baritone saxophone and drumset. He went on to pursue his undergraduate degree from Stetson University (2006), where he studied composition with Sydney Hodkinson and Manuel DeMurga. While at Stetson, Omar was awarded the title of Stetson Piano Scholar (2006), selected as an associate artist for the Atlantic Center for the Arts (2007), and inducted into the music honor society, Pi Kappa Lambda (2007). After graduating magna cum laude in December, 2008, Omar went on to teach music theory fundamentals at Stetson University, along with a composition and songwriting course at Valencia College. Currently, he is a student at the Yale School of Music, where he studies
with Ingram Marshall, Aaron Jay Kernis, and Christopher Theofnidis.
PARTNER IN CRIME notes “Enjoy the simple things in life,” we are told. Indeed, “guilty pleasures” are one of the simple things in life I enjoy from time to time. partner in crime, in a way, encapsulates some of my very own self-indulgent moments in music. Throughout its course, this single-movement work channels different aspects, or “guilty pleasures,” I have wanted to expose for a while now. The work fabricates itself as a narrative of two entities living together, who despite their habitual differences are able to survive. A fascination with the macabre drives the first section of the work, followed by a contrasting adulatory segment. Finalizing the piece are blocks of pulsations intertwined with sustained melodic blankets of sound, in short: Dark – Serene – Industrious.

PAN PENSEROSO notes Pan Penseroso and the titles of its three movements are taken from John Milton’s great poem Il Peneseroso (The Contemplative Man). The music aligns itself with this response to the poet’s earlier L’Allegro (the Cheerful Man). In my concerto the flutist Pan, like the mature Milton, casts a reflective musical eye on the world, renouncing all “vain deluding joyes,” so as to better hear the “Sweet Bird that shunn’st the noise of folly…” Written for the master flutist Robert Dick, Pan Penseroso includes a number of procedures explored in his pioneering book The Other Flute: A performance Manual of Contemporary Techniques.
