DEREK BERMEL'S "VOICES" RETURNS TO NEW YORK CITY
Bermel Performs Clarinet Concerto with Mannes Orchestra
|
|
|
|
Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center - New York City
On Monday evening, February 25 at 8 PM, composer-clarinetist Derek Bermel takes the stage at Alice Tully Hall when the Mannes Orchestra performs Voices, his highly-praised clarinet concerto. Unheard in New York since its critically-acclaimed 1998 World Premiere, the work was co-commissioned by the American Composers Orchestra and Boston Modern Orchestra Project, premiered by ACO at Carnegie Hall, and recorded by BMOP on a Grammy-nominated disc for Best Instrumental Soloist Performance (with orchestra). Bermel's performance is in conjunction with his spring term at Mannes, where he serves as composer-in-residence. His residency is unique, as he occupies a central role at the school, working with the entire student population to explore composition, improvisation, and composer collaborations, along with the performance of new music, regardless of style or genre.
Voices reflects Bermel's deep engagement with other musical cultures, which has become part of the fabric and force of his compositional language and where the human voice and its myriad inflections play a primary role. Voices explores the clarinet and the orchestra through a multitude of techniques. The first movement, "Id", evokes sounds of shouting, laughing, and mumbling; the second movement, "She Moved Thru the Fair," is haunted by the sounds, inflections, and gestures of Irish folk music; and the finale, "Jamm on Toast," features vocal techniques more commonly associated with funk and big-band music.

Cornucopia Clarinet Day at Northern Illinois University - VIP Dr Gregory Barrett, Director
DeKalb, Illinois
Clarinet Cornucopia - March 9, 2013
REGISTER BY FEBRUARY 4 AND SAVE!!
Clarinet Cornucopia is a festival for clarinetists who enjoy playing and learning about their favorite instrument and its extended world. Founded in 2002, Clarinet Cornucopia focuses on a different theme each year. The 2013 theme is Clarinet Duos. Information and photographs from past Clarinet Cornucopias can be found at Gregory Barrett's website.
This year’s performers/clinicians are William Hudgins and Catherine Hudgins. William is the principal clarinetist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Catherine performs frequently with the Boston Symphony, Portland (ME) Symphony, and as principal clarinetist with the National Lyric Opera.
The focus of the 2013 festival is the performance of duos, one of the most common performing situations for a clarinetist in an orchestra. Usually the two unique parts are closely related and the players must match each other in tone, intonation, and style of interpretation.
The Cornucopia Choir returns under the directorship of Patrick Sheehan. All participants are invited to join the choir, which rehearses twice during the day. Music will either be sent to registrants by email about a month before the festival or handed out on March 9.
For the advancing pre-professional clarinetist, expert coaching of standard orchestral excerpts is offered in a free-ranging audition preparation master class.
All events take place in the Music Building on the campus of Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois.
This event has received financial support from the NIU School of Music. Thanks to a special grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, the registration fees this year have been reduced and high school students are invited to attend gratis. A copy of a student ID will be required for all students when they register.

High school clarinetists should play a portion of a prepared solo or etude that demonstrates both lyrical and technical ability (approximately 3 minutes), and a 2-octave chromatic scale (3-octaves is preferable) beginning on a note of the student's choice (eighth-notes at quarter-note=120, slurred ascending, staccato descending). A solo for the class A list from the OMEA contest list is recommended. Sight reading may be asked. College undergraduates should perform a portion of a standard concerto or sonata (such as Mozart, Weber, or Brahms, approximately 3 minutes) that demonstrates both lyrical and technical ability, as well as a portion of a twentieth century work (approximately 3 minutes).

Rice University Premiere Recital with Richie Hawley and Richard Nunemaker
Houston, Texas
Benny, Zoot, and Teddy (Play Richard and Lorenz)
Benny, Zoot, and Teddy (Play Richard and Lorenz) was written as a commission from Richard Nunemaker, to perform with Richie Hawley and Brian Connelly. I immediately thought of them as representatives of iconic jazzmen of the past – Benny Goodman, Zoot Sims, and Teddy Wilson, and wondered what a jam session between the three of them might sound like. I then conceived a set wherein they explored the music of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. Of course, the whole idea was then chopped, mixed, strained, and puréed into my own macaronic language, not to mention putting a bass clarinet into the figurative hands of Zoot the tenor saxophonist. The result is a roller-coaster ride of unbridled virtuosity, split-second ensemble work, and, hopefully, fun.
