Cutting Edge Concerts: Composers & Architects - Builders in Sound and Space
A part of the series New Music Champions.
The theme of Cutting Edge Concerts’ 10th Anniversary Season is Shaping Sound: Architects, Composers and Concert Halls. Each of the three concerts this season will bring together architects who have designed concert halls and composers, highlighting their relationship and building on Welltone New Music’s mission to promote the work of established and emerging living composers. An integral part of the concert will be the onstage discussion between Victoria Bond and each composer and architect. The series will continue to provide established and emerging composers with a creative platform.
Cutting Edge Concerts is pleased to present the world premieres of Theodore Wiprud’s American Journal, Dalit Warshaw’s Erato and Victoria Bond’s Construction Site. The works of Bright Sheng, Samuel Jones, Wang Gouwei, Huang Ruo, Phil Kline, Richard Adams, and Andrew Norman.
Clifford Gayley, who led the design team for Seiji Ozawa Hall for the Boston Symphony Orchestra at Tanglewood, and Mark Reddington, designer of Benaroya Hall, home of the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, will discuss their work in conversation with Victoria Bond.
Cutting Edge Concerts is conceived and hosted by Victoria Bond, whose recent commissions include The Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra (2006), Fontana Chamber Arts (2006), Pianofest (2005), The American Society for Jewish Music (2005) and the Elements String Quartet (2005). Scenes from her opera, Mrs. Satan, were presented by the New York City Opera as part of its VOX Festival. Ms. Bond has written ballets for the American Ballet Theater, the Pennsylvania Ballet, and the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, and her orchestral compositions have been performed by such groups as the Houston Symphony, the Women's Philharmonic, the Martinu Philharmonic (Czech Republic), the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland, the Shanghai, Hunan and Wuhan Symphonies (China) and the Orquestra de Santos (Brazil). Ms. Bond was the first woman to earn a doctorate in orchestral conducting from the Julliard School. She has been profiled in the Wall Street Journal and on the NBC Today Show, featured in People Magazine and in the New York Times.
