COURSE CLARIARTE, August 25th - September 2nd
Our motto for 2012 is to continue with what has worked
well so far and to improve other aspects.
This year the competition ClariArts will be suspended and
from 2013 take place in a two year rhythm. With this
adjustment we would like to appeal to participants who may
have been put off a little bit by the stressful competition.
We should be very pleased to welcome young ensembles who
would like to profit from this course for repertoire studies
or individual players who actually want to start an
ensemble.
We will bring new ideas and approaches as well as lots of
literature to Hartberg.
The training for auditioning (preparation and simulation)
was so successful and enthusiastically embraced by all
participants in the previous years that we will carry on
with it this year.
Over the last few years we observed that it's actually
the interaction between musicians of different levels which
opened up new paths and possibilities for everyone.
Sometimes a slightly different approach to music, a
different angle on interpretation or a certain looseness is
very helpful to solve problems.
I'd like to stress again in this preface that we
welcome every participant who is interested in making some
progress on his or her instrument or discovering new sides
and aspects of the clarinet.

with an interest in American
Music including John Cage and Charles Ives
The festival 2012
From 31st August to 18th September, the 2012 – 13 Berlin
concert season will begin with Musikfest Berlin, organized
by the Berliner Festspiele in cooperation with the Berliner
Philharmoniker Foundation. Over a period of 20 days, at the
Philharmonie and its Kammermusiksaal, at Großer Sendesaal
des rbb, Konzerthaus Berlin, Akademie der Künste, at
Tempodrom, Kühlhaus Berlin and Heilig-Kreuz-Kirche, 25
events featuring approximately 80 works by 30 composers will
be performed by 24 orchestras, choirs and instrumental and
vocal ensembles, showcasing more than 60 soloists.
2012 is not just the year of the US-American presidential
elections. It also marks the centenary of the birth of the
American composer John Cage, who died 20 years ago. In 1976,
the bicentennial year of the American Declaration of
Independence, Cage paid tribute to his homeland with an
orchestral composition entitled Apartmenthouse 1776,
which he dedicated to Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony
Orchestra, to the Chicago Symphony and Cleveland Orchestras,
to the Los Angeles and New York Philharmonics, and to The
Philadelphia Orchestra. Through this dedication,
Apartmenthouse 1776 – which assembles religious musical
materials dating from early American history, including
Protestant, Sephardic, Native American, and African-American
songs – becomes not just a celebration of American
independence, but also a celebration of the nation’s great
orchestras.Also taking place on the occasion of the
Bicentennial of 1976 was the first full-length performance
of George Gershwin’s opera Porgy and Bess, composed
in 1934 – 35, in a production by the Houston Grand Opera.
“Oh, we’re leavin’ for the Promise’ Lan’, Leavin’ for the
Promise’ Lan’,” sings Bess in a spiritual at the end of Act
I as she laments the murder of Robbins. Yet America itself
was regarded as the “Promised Land” by the English Puritans
of the 17th century. However, to American slaves in the 19th
century, who were subjected to an oppressive Christianity,
America (according to Manfred Henningsen in his book Der
Mythos Amerika) was the mythical Egypt of Israelite
bondage from which they needed to liberate themselves.
The biblical exodus of the Israelites from the Egypt of
the Pharaohs is the context of the Opera Moses und Aron,
which Arnold Schoenberg began composing in Berlin in 1928,
never actually furnishing music for the third act, which
narrates the entry of the Chosen People into the Promised
Land. Beginning in 1934, Arnold Schoenberg lived in exile in
Los Angeles. He had been “expelled into Paradise,” as this
“conservative revolutionary” referred to his situation in
exile. This was, however, a thoroughly ambivalent
characterisation of the fate that befell him and many other
European musicians, artists, and intellectuals. During his
exile, Schoenberg found in Gershwin an esteemed
composer-colleague and tennis partner; he also gave John
Cage – who later became the master of “anarchic harmony” –
two years of composition lessons.
Apartmenthouse 1776, Moses und Aron, Porgy and Bess:
all three will be presented at Musikfest Berlin 2012
in exemplary interpretations: presenting Cage’s
Apartmenthouse 1776 in a production prepared
exclusively for Musikfest Berlin will be Ensemble
Modern and the Junge Deutsche Philharmonie; Schoenberg’s
Moses und Aron will be performed at the Philharmonie by
the SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden-Baden und Freiburg and
EuropaChorAkademie under the direction of Sylvain Cambreling
– the first station of a European tour that continues with
Lucerne, Madrid and Strasbourg; and for the festival finale,
the Berliner Philharmoniker will join forces with the Cape
Town Opera Voice of the Nation Chorus under the direction of
Sir Simon Rattle in a performance of Gershwin’s Porgy
and Bess, a co-production with the Berliner Festspiele.
Musikfest Berlin will present alongside Porgy and Bess
and Moses und Aron a third highly-regarded and
exceptional opera: John Adams’s Nixon in China, a
Berlin premiere and guest production by the BBC Symphony
Orchestra and the BBC Singers under the direction of the
composer, who will be presenting the work at the London
Proms just a few days before. Nixon in China,
composed in the late 1980s, is – as Alex Ross writes in his
book The Rest is Noise – the greatest American
opera since Porgy and Bess, a “look at the power plays of
the 20th century that makes you shudder”, an opera, in which
“Chinese Communists and American Communist-haters join
forces in an apotheosis of the pioneer spirit”, according to
Bernd Feuchtner.
An unprecedented occurrence at Musikfest Berlin:
three great opera rarities in new concertante productions.
But there is more: Musikfest Berlin 2012 also will
offer listeners a tour d’horizon of the world of American
music, extending from Charles Ives to Samuel Barber, Aaron
Copland and Morton Feldman, with works by exiled composers
Schoenberg, Stravinsky and Rachmaninov, with Stockhausen’s
Hymnen mit Orchester – which he dedicated to John
Cage, the New York Philharmonic and the American people –
and Hans Werner Henze’s “Cuban” 6th Symphony.
Appearing alongside Berlin’s flagship orchestras will be the
London Symphony Orchestra with Michael Tilson Thomas, the
St. Louis Symphony (the second oldest orchestra in the US
after the New York Philharmonic) under the direction of
principal conductor David Robertson, and the Koninklijk
Concertgebouworkest Amsterdam with Mariss Jansons, who will
perform Edgard Varèse’s powerful orchestral poem
Amériques. Musikfest Berlin 2012 will open
with a concert by the Mahler Chamber Orchestra with Thomas
Hampson as soloist under the direction of Kent Nagano
devoted to the grand old man of American music, Charles Ives

The World Doctors Orchestra was founded in 2007 and combines the
pleasure of fine music with global medical responsibility. Twice
a year, some 100 physicians from all over the world exchange
their white coats for evening attire and perform a benefit
concert for medical aid projects. While our daily work focuses
on healing one patient at a time, as an orchestra we promote the
conviction that neither national borders nor political or
economic interests should limit access to basic healthcare.
We
invite medical doctors to share our vision by participating in
the sessions. The rehearsals include coaching by professional
musicians, proficiency in classical instrument and orchestra
experience are required. The World Doctors Orchestra is an
independent non-profit organization driven by the spirit and
dedication of the players.
Founder and conductor of the World Doctors Orchestra is
Stefan Willich, Professor in Medicine at the Charité
University Medical Center in Berlin, the largest medical school
in Europe. He is also an experienced musician and studied
conducting and violin in Stuttgart, Berlin, Boston/Tanglewood,
and Paris.

Contrasts and Brahms Trio Op 114
“B/B/B: Beethoven, Bartók and Brahms” is a free concert performed by Washington Square Music Festival's Chamber Artists Ensemble, which includes clarinetist Stanley Drucker, pianist David Oei, violinist Eriko Sato, violist Veronica Salas and cellist Lutz Rath. Selections include Beethoven’s String Trio in G major, Op. 9, No. 1 and Béla Bartók’s “Contrasts”. There will also be a performance of Brahms’ Trio in A minor for clarinet, cello and piano, Op. 114. — which, along with the Bartók selection, will highlight the talents of Stanley Drucker. If you miss this performance, as mentioned in a previous posting on THE Clarinet Blog, you can find a recording of Stanley Drucker playing the piece when he first started as the principle clarinetist of the New York Philharmonic. Also, you can find a CD Stanley Drucker Plays Brahms at Amazon. If you do get to see this performance, you will get to witness the powerful playing and enthusiasm that Stanley Drucker brings to all his performances.
Free. Fri., Nov. 30, 8pm. At St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church (371 Sixth Ave., at Washington Place). For info, visit washingtonsquaremusicfestival.org or call 212-252-3621.
