Juilliard's Annual FOCUS! Festival is "All About Elliott" on Friday, January 25 - Saturday, February 2, 2008

FOCUS! festival celebrates Elliott Carter's 100th year and opens with Pierre Boulez conducting the Lucerne Festival Academy Ensemble and New Juilliard Ensemble on Friday, January 25 at 8 PM and James Levine leading the Juilliard Orchestra in Grand Finale on Saturday, February 2 at 8 PM

The Juilliard School presents its 24th annual FOCUS! festival, All About Elliott, directed by festival founder Joel Sachs, celebrating the 100th year of composer Elliott Carter, former longtime faculty member and friend of Juilliard. The 2008 FOCUS! festival of six full-length concerts and a pre-concert interview of Mr. Carter opens on Friday, January 25 at 8 PM in The Peter Jay Sharp Theater at Juilliard (155 W. 65th St.) with Pierre Boulez conducting members of the Lucerne Festival Academy Ensemble and the New Juilliard Ensemble. The festival features a mix of Mr. Carter’s early, middle, and late works, including works that are rarely performed. It is one of the largest tributes to Mr. Carter in his centennial year and also was programmed by Mr. Carter. Mr. Boulez’s opening night concert, presented by Juilliard in partnership with the Lucerne Festival and the Ensemble Intercontemporain, includes Varèse’s Intégrales (1924-5); Carter’s Triple Duo (1982); Stravinsky’s Concertino (for twelve instruments) (1920/version for 12 instruments: 1952); Carter’s Penthode (1984-5): Boulez’s Dérive I (1984, rev. 1986); and Carter’s Clarinet Concerto (1996) with Ismail Lumanovski, clarinet soloist. The combined forces of the Lucerne Festival Academy and New Juilliard ensembles have been coached by Ensemble Intercontemporain members Sophie Cherrier, Jeanne-Marie Conquer, and Jens McManama.

Conductor James Levine, music director of the Metropolitan Opera and Boston Symphony Orchestra, and a Juilliard alumnus, leads the closing night concert with the Juilliard Orchestra on Saturday, February 2 at 8 PM in The Peter Jay Sharp Theater. The program includes Ives’ Orchestral Set No. 1, Three Places in New England (1903-1914); Carter’s Cello Concerto (2000) with Dane Johansen, cello soloist; and the New York premiere performance of Carter’s Symphonia: sum fluxae pretium spei (1993-96).

FREE tickets are available for both concerts beginning January 11, at the Juilliard Box Office. The remainder of the concerts do not require tickets. All concerts in the 2008 FOCUS! festival: All About Elliott are FREE. Theater doors open 1 hour prior to events.

Mr. Sachs’ own New Juilliard Ensemble is featured on the Tuesday night, January 29 program at 8 PM performing Three Poems of Robert Frost (1942/1980) with David McFerrin, baritone; Quintet for Piano and Winds (1991) with Alexandra Lambertson, oboe, Bryan Conger, clarinet, Brigette Bencoe, French horn, Joshua Firer, bassoon, Jacek Mysinski, piano; Asko Concerto (2000) to be performed twice; and Tempo e tempi (1999) with Jennifer Zetlan, soprano, Jessica Pearlman, oboe and English horn, clarinetist and bass clarinetist (tba), David Fulmer, violin, and Hannah Sloane, cello. Tickets are not required for this performance.

This year’s FOCUS! programming is the result of collaboration between a number of elite performing, presenting, and educational organizations. FOCUS! festival founder, Joel Sachs, decided a year ago that he wanted to celebrate composer Elliott Carter’s approaching hundredth birthday. (He turns 100 on December 11, 2008.) Mr. Sachs and Juilliard President Joseph W. Polisi agreed that FOCUS! 2008 would kick off the centennial year with a week-long celebration of Carter’s music. Juilliard Dean Ara Guzelimian had long worked with Pierre Boulez’s Lucerne Festival in his previous position at Carnegie Hall. The Lucerne Festival proposed a joint project between members of the Academy Ensemble and members of the New Juilliard Ensemble, to be part of FOCUS! 2008. As a result, Mr. Boulez will conduct the opening concert of the festival with musicians from both ensembles. (The New Juilliard Ensemble musicians selected for the January 25 concert will be welcomed as full-fledged members of the 2008 Lucerne Festival Academy Ensemble and under Mr. Boulez’s direction will revive the concert as part of the Lucerne Festival on Tuesday, September 2, 2008.) Dean Guzelimian then approached James Levine, a great Carter devotee, about closing the festival. They managed to negotiate Mr. Levine’s hectic schedule, and he will conduct Carter’s Cello Concerto and the New York premiere performance of Symphonia. When Mr. Sachs was creating programs for the rest of the festival, he learned, to his surprise, that Elliott Carter had already put them together, and few changes were needed to match his ideas. Mr. Carter will be on hand for the pre-concert talk on January 31.

In addition to the three ensemble concerts already mentioned, three evenings of Elliott Carter’s chamber music complete this year’s FOCUS! schedule (complete listing can be found on final pages). The concert on Monday, January 28 at 8 PM in The Peter Jay Sharp Theater includes Canaries (1949) and Canto (1966) with Tomoya Aomori, timpani; Esprit rude, esprit doux I (1984) and Esprit rude, esprit doux II (1994) with Nadia Kyne, flute, Sean Rice, clarinet, Alexander Lipowski, marimba; Sonata for Cello and Piano (1948) with Emily Brausa, cello, and Hiromi Fukuda, piano; Trilogy (1992) with Nicholas Stovall, oboe, Michelle Gott, harp; Riconoscenza (1984) with Francesca Anderegg, violin; Rhapsodic Musings (2001) with Emilie-Anne Gendron, violin; Retrouvailles (2000) and Catérnaires (2006) with Vassilis Varvaresos, piano.

Composer Elliott Carter is interviewed by Joel Sachs in a special pre-concert event on Thursday, January 31 at 7 PM. The concert at 8 PM includes Call (2003) with Brent Grapes and Jeffrey Missal, trumpets, Alexander Kienle, French horn; Warble for Lilac-Time (1943, rev. 1954) with Frederique Vezina, soprano, Jonathan Ware, piano; Voyage (1943) with Renée Tatum, mezzo-soprano, Jonathan Ware, piano; Enchanted Preludes (1988) with Jeremiah Bills, flute, Jason Calloway, cello; Two Diversions (1999) with David Berry, piano; Gra (1993) with Moran Katz, clarinet; Hiyoku (2001) with Moran Katz and Sean Rice, clarinets; Con leggerezza pensosa (1990) with David Fulmer, violin, Tibi Cziger, clarinet, Yves Dahramraj, cello; and Quintet for Piano and Strings (1997) with Francesca Anderegg and David Fulmer, violins, Kyle Armbrust, viola, Caroline Stinson, cello, and Matthew Odell, piano.

Elliott Carter was born into a prosperous family and attended the Horace Mann School and then Harvard University, where he studied English literature, Greek, and philosophy, while also studying piano, oboe, and solfège at the Longy School in Boston. He stayed on at Harvard to complete a master of arts degree in music in 1932, studying with Walter Piston, A.T. Davidson, Edward Burlingame Hill, and Gustav Holst, among others, and spent three years working with Nadia Boulanger. He settled in New York in 1935. Mr. Carter held a long-term teaching position at Juilliard (1964-84). He also taught at the Peabody Institute (1946-48), Columbia University (1948-50), Queens College, CUNY (1955-56), Yale University (1960-62), MIT and Cornell (from 1967). His honors include two Pulitzer Prizes, the Sibelius Medal, the Gold Medal of the National Institute for Arts and Letters, and the National Medal of Arts, among others, including an honorary doctorate from Juilliard and the Juilliard Medal presented during the School’s Centennial.

Born in 1925, Pierre Boulez studied piano with Olivier Messiaen, Andrée Vaurabourg, and René Leibowitz. In 1946 he became Music Director of the Renaud-Barrault Theatre Company and in 1953 he founded the contemporary music series at the Petit Marigny Theatre, which developed into the renowned and influential Domaine Musical. During the late 1950s, he gave courses at the Darmstadt summer school and at the instigation of Paul Sacher at Basel Music Academy. In 1976 he was appointed Professor at the Collège de France, a position he held until retirement in 1995. In 1967 Pierre Boulez became Principal Guest Conductor of the Cleveland Orchestra, later accepting the positions of Chief Conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Music Director of the New York Philharmonic. He is currently Principal Guest conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. In 1976 he founded the Ensemble Intercontemporain, and established the Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musique (IRCAM) in Paris the following year. In 2003 Pierre Boulez founded the Lucerne Festival Academy.

The Lucerne Festival Academy is a future–oriented training project, where young, highly talented musicians from all over the world are taught the art of interpreting the music of our times. Under the artistic director Pierre Boulez and with the instrumental soloists and coaches of the Ensemble Intercontemporain some 140 young musicians are invited to spend three weeks in Lucerne to study and perform pioneering works of the 20th and 21st centuries. This highly innovative program of the Lucerne Festival, one of the most significant concert festivals of Europe, offers a unique platform. With Pierre Boulez and the soloists and coaches of the Ensemble Intercontemporain as faculty, the very best and most experienced musicians of contemporary repertoire are teaching in Lucerne.Focusing on selected solo, chamber music, ensemble and symphonic works of the 20th and 21st centuries, the students are part of the Lucerne Festival Academy Ensemble and Orchestra.

In 1976, Pierre Boulez founded the Ensemble Intercontemporain with the support of Michel Guy, who was Minister of Culture at the time. The Ensemble’s 31 soloists share a passion for 20th-21st century music. They are employed on permanent contract, enabling them to fulfill the major aims of the Ensemble: performance, creation and education for young musicians and the general public. Under the artistic direction of Susanna Mälkki, the musicians work in close collaboration with composers, exploring instrumental techniques and developing projects that interweave music, dance, theater, film, video and visual arts. New pieces are commissioned and performed on a regular basis.

Sophie Cherrier (flute) studied at the Conservatoire National de Région de Nancy and then at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, where she graduated with highest honors in flute (under the tutelage of Alain Marion) and chamber music (under the tutelage of Christian Lardé). She joined the Ensemble Intercontemporain in 1979. She has performed in the premieres of numerous works, including Mémoriale by Pierre Boulez, Esprit rude/Esprit doux by Elliott Carter (Deutsche Grammophon recording), and Chu Ky V by Ton-Thât Tiêt. Ms. Cherrier has also recorded Sequenza I by Luciano Berio (Deutsche Grammophon), …explosante fixe and Sonatine pour flûte et piano by Pierre Boulez (Erato), Imaginary Sky-lines for flute and harp by Ivan Fedele (Adès), Jupiter and La Partition du ciel et de l’Enfer by Philippe Manoury (for the collection “Compositeurs d’aujourd’hui”). She has performed with the Hallé Orchestra of Manchester, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, and the London Sinfonietta. After being awarded the Certificat d'Aptitude, she was appointed Professor at the Conservatoire de Paris in 1998. Her penchant for teaching has led her to conduct various master classes, both in France and abroad.

Born in 1965, Jeanne-Marie Conquer (violin) was fifteen when she graduated with highest honors at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris. She continued her training with Pierre Amoyal (violin) and Jean Hubeau (chamber music). She joined the Ensemble Intercontemporain in 1985. Ms. Conquer fosters ongoing artistic relationships with contemporary composers. She has worked with György Kurtág, György Ligeti (for the Trio with horn and the Violin Concerto), Peter Eötvös (on his opera Le Balcon) and Ivan Fedele. Performing on tour with Pierre Boulez, David Robertson and Jonathan Nott has taken her all over the world, from Australia, the U.S., Argentina and Finland. Her recordings for Deutsche Grammophon include Luciano Berio’s Sequenza VIII for solo violin and Schönberg’s Pierrot Lunaire and Ode to Napoléon. Jeanne-Marie Conquer was also the soloist for Anthèmes II by Pierre Boulez at the Lucerne Festival in 2002 and for the Violin Concerto by Ligeti at the Cité de la musique in 2003.

Born in 1956 in Portland (Oregon), Jens McManama (horn) made his soloist debut at the age of thirteen with the Seattle Orchestra. Following his studies in Cleveland with horn player Myron Bloom, he was engaged as a soloist in 1974 at La Scala in Milan under the baton of Claudio Abbado. He joined the Ensemble Intercontemporain in 1979. He has been a member of the “Nielsen” wind quintet since 1982. In Baden-Baden 1988, he premiered the horn version of ln Freundschaft by Karlheinz Stockhausen. He has taken part in a large number of chamber music premieres, such as Bagatelles by Jean-Baptiste Devillers (for horn and piano). Mr. McManama has been teaching chamber music at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris since 1994. He regularly leads workshops for young musicians, notably at the American Conservatory in Fontainebleau and at Saint-Céré, as well as contemporary music master classes in France and the U.S. Soloist, chamber musician, orchestra musician, Jens McManama is also drawn to conducting ensembles. He has created a show in collaboration with Eugène Durif entitled Litanies, Fatrasies, Charivari, which was first performed at the Cité de la musique in 2004, and then reopened in 2006 with the title Cuivres et Fantaisies

Since his June 5, 1971 debut at the Metropolitan Opera with Tosca, Music Director James Levine has developed a relationship with the company that is unparalleled in its history and unique in the musical world today. He conducted the first-ever Met performances of works from Mozart’s Idomeneo and La clemenza di Tito through the premieres of John Corigliano’s The Ghosts of Versailles and John Harbison’s The Great Gatsby. Mr. Levine inaugurated the “Metropolitan Opera Presents” television series for PBS in 1977, founded the Met’s Young Artist Development Program in 1980, returned Wagner’s complete Der Ring des Nibelungen to the repertoire in 1989 (in the first integral cycles in 50 years there), and reinstated recitals and concerts with Met artists at the opera house – a former Metropolitan tradition. Mr. Levine’s fourth season as music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra opened with an all-Ravel program (soloists Susan Graham and Jean-Yves Thibaudet) on October 4; following on last summer’s extended Tanglewood season and a two-week European tour in September. He leads a dozen programs in Boston in 2007-08 (and three at Carnegie, as well). In addition to his responsibilities at the Met and the BSO, Mr. Levine is a distinguished pianist and an active and avid recital collaborator, especially in Lieder and song repertoire. Mr. Levine is a graduate of Juilliard and holds an honorary doctorate, as well as the Juilliard Medal presented during Juilliard’s Centennial.

This season, Mr. Johansen will appear as a soloist with the Arcos Orchestra in New York City, and with the Bartók Chamber Orchestra on tour in Europe. He recently was invited to perform in Germany at the 2007 Cello Festival in memory of Mstislav Rostropovich.

Macedonian/Turkish clarinetist Ismail Lumanovski has mesmerized audiences throughout Europe and the United States, impressing and inspiring them with his enthusiasm and virtuosity, in his performances of folk music and classical music. In 2006, he was one of the soloists premiering Dutch composer Guus Janssen’s Concerto for Three Clarinets and Ensemble with the New Juilliard Ensemble at Juilliard. His U.S. debut took place in 2002 with his performance of Weber's first Clarinet Concerto with the World Youth Symphony Orchestra at Interlochen. Born in Bitola, Mr. Lumanovski earned his high school diploma at the Interlochen Arts Academy. He is currently pursuing his undergraduate diploma at Juilliard under the tutelage of Charles Neidich. Since his first appearance as a soloist, with the Macedonian Philharmonic at the age of 13, he has won numerous competitions. Mr. Lumanovski is a well-known folk musician in the Balkans and Turkey, and has recorded and collaborated with singers and musicians of the Balkans. He has collaborated with Macedonian film director Milco Mancevski and is featured in the sound track of his newest film Senki (Shadows). He also lectured and performed in Carnegie Hall's Weill Music Institute Citi Global Encounters.

The New Juilliard Ensemble is now in its 15th season. Celebrating the liveliness of today's music, and focusing primarily on repertory of the last decade, the ensemble presents music by a variety of international composers writing in the most diverse styles. The ensemble appears regularly in MoMA’s Summergarden festival and has been a featured ensemble four times at the Lincoln Center Festival, playing the music of Brian Ferneyhough, Guo Wenjing, Bright Sheng, and Salvatore Sciarrino to packed houses and rave reviews. Its members are current students at Juilliard, who are admitted to the ensemble by audition.

New Juilliard Ensemble founder and director Joel Sachs also is artistic director of Juilliard’s annual FOCUS! festival and co-director of the internationally-acclaimed new music ensemble Continuum. He has conducted orchestras and ensembles in Austria, El Salvador, Germany, Iceland, Mexico, Switzerland, and Ukraine, and held new music residencies in Berlin, London, Salzburg, and Curitiba (Brazil). Recent keyboard appearances include performances of John Cage’s monumental Sonatas and Interludes for prepared piano, and, with Continuum, chamber music by American pioneers Cowell, Ives, and Nancarrow at the 2005 Lucerne Festival. In recent years Dr. Sachs conducted the distinguished Icelandic contemporary music ensemble Caput in a program of music from Ukraine, Uzbekistan, the United States, and Iceland, and a concert of music by Danish composer Hans Abrahamsen. He also conducted Caput for a CD of works by the Icelandic composer Askell Masson. In May 2007, he and other members of Continuum performed in Tajikistan and Kazakhstan, and then performed in Mongolia. Dr. Sachs’ recordings appear on the Advance, CRI, Naxos, Nonesuch, and TNC labels. A member of Juilliard’s music history faculty, he currently is working on a biography of the American composer Henry Cowell, to be published by Oxford University Press. Dr. Sachs appears on radio as a commentator on recent music.
