The world meets in Luxembourg”

August 13 – 27, 2012

 

About Vianden Music Festival and School.

The Vianden Music Festival and School is set in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, in the lovely 700 years old city of Vianden, the pearl of Grand Duchy, a medieval town with its town wall and well-known castle, Trinirarien church and cloisters, the only chair lift in Luxemburg, a beautiful heated open air pool, tennis fields, the house of Victor Hugo, different museums and European largest hydro-electric powel station with barrage and upper-lac and is conceived as a program which should promote better understanding between various peoples of the world through the music-making. It should stimulate musical and human exchange, provide a podium for the talented young musicians and music lovers, create a peaceful non-competitive environment, in which a desire to express oneself through the music would happily unfold.

We are very grateful to the Community of Vianden, which kindly agreed to host the Festival and is committed to providing the best possible environment for a unique and rich experiences in international setting.

The program is geared for exceptionally talented children, advanced amatours, high school, college and young professionals and designed as an advanced training program for singers, pianists, composers and instrumentalists (violin, viola, cello, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, french horn, harp and jazz) with emphasis on individual music enrichment and advancement as well as preparation given to qualified performers for careers in European countries.

The focal point of the program is Chamber music. Students who are interested only in solo playing are not encouraged to apply.
 

A special “Music appreciation division” of the program will encourage and welcome those music lovers who would be interested in observing the activities of the Festival and The Music School in combination with intensive sightseeing in Luxembourg and other European metropolis.

The participants will be in residence in Vianden for 2 weeks each summer, working and performing intensively under the guidance of an internationally experienced faculty and staff.

The program will consist of:

· individual lessons (for all participants)

· individual coachings (for singers)

· chamber music coachings (for all participants)

· opera ensemble coachings (for singers)

· stagecraft classes (for singers)

· French, Italian, German, Russian diction  (for all participants)

· Opportunity to perform solo works as well as chamber music

(the focal point remains Chamber music)
 

 

We have chosen the slogan “The World meets in Luxembourg” to extend our warmest welcome to the musicians of various cultures, ethnic and musical backgrounds, gender and age. We sincerely hope that the time spent in Vianden will be productive, enjoyable and memorable for all of us.

About 'Residenz München'

 


The Munich Residenz served as the seat of government and residence of the Bavarian dukes, electors and kings from 1508 to 1918. What began in 1385 as a castle at the north-eastern corner of the town (the Neuveste, or new citadel) was transformed over the centuries into a magnificent palace, its buildings and gardens extending further and further into the town.

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.

31st August to 18th September, the 2012

Musikfest Berlin with the Berliner Philharmoniker

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
