The Washington Post once named them the "world's leading brass ensemble,"
but in their early days, the Canadian Brass had some serious issues with
intonation, basic rhythm, and, not least, dipsomania.

Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame on the Brand Associates Music Series

Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame on the
Brand Associates Music Series
The first two concerts in the Brand Associates Music Series to celebrate the
reopening of Brand Library & Art Center were on April 6 with pianist Mark
Robson and on May 4 with cellist Maksim Velichkin, both venerated virtuosos.
What both concerts had in common was a segment of new music called
Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame, a competition in which composers from around the
world wrote one minute works for these musicians who then selected fifteen
to be performed at the concert. It's a great way to give many composers
exposure in one concert. Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame is administered by the New
York based new music organization Vox Novus (www.voxnovus.com). The pieces
expose audiences to an amazing variety of styles in the span of 15 minutes,
creating thrilling musical adventures that has been very popular at Vox
Novus concerts in New York. Both Mark and Maksim played to enthusiastic
overflow crowds in the Brand Library Recital Hall.
The Brand Associates have been hosting a chamber music series at Brand
Library since 1969, a mixture of standard repertoire and new music. Usually
each musician or group is given a full hour long recital (or longer if they
want) which is free and open to the public. What I've done is encouraged the
musicians on the series to work with Vox Novus on a Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame
call for scores. It's a pretty easy sell as it is attractive to the
musicians to work with so many composers at once. I think
Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame is also an attractive format for general audiences
as well due to the brevity of the pieces and the variety of styles they are
exposed to in a short period of time. Sometimes the most complex music can
be more accessible when the pieces are short. And it's easy to tie it in
with the educational component of the library, new music is alive and well
and there are many composers who deserve to be heard (some may even live in
your neighborhood!). We had a great start with these first two concerts. -

Mark Robson performed larger works by Maurice Ravel, film composer Gerard
Schurmann, Chapman University professor Vera Ivanova and Mark Robson. Mark's
theme for the Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame section was Four Elements: Earth, Air,
Fire, Water and the composers could write for piano or toy piano. The
selected composers were from California, Wisconsin, Michigan, Texas, New
York, North Carolina, New Jersey, Ohio, Portugal and Italy. The five
Southern California composers were present at the concert and one composer
came from Nebraska! Details on Mark's Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame selected

and Adrienne Albert.
Maksim Velichkin performed on cello with larger works by J.S. Bach, Hans
Werner Henze, Blair Whittington and George N. Gianopoulos. The theme of his
Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame was Homage to Bach and the composers were required
to use the notes of Bach's name (b-flat, a, c, b-natural) in their pieces.
For this concert Maksim emphasized Los Angeles composers so 11 of the 15
composers were from Southern California with others from Louisiana, Oregon,
Canada and England. Ten California composers were present at the concert.
Mr. Velichkin received almost 100 submissions from his call for scores so he
plans to have another selection of fifteen pieces for a future concert.

A very special thank you to Douglas DaSilva and Robert Voisey from Vox Novus
in New York for their work in administering both calls for scores. Many in
the audience were thrilled with the amazing variety of short pieces on these
programs.

Summertime Classics series
<http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/img/14-07-11-Summertime_Classics_series.jpg>
Summertime Classics series
The New York Philharmonic performed music by Russian composers on July 3rd
as part of its Summertime Classics series. Rather than attempt to discuss
the quality of the performance (it was excellent), I will be discussing the
programming of this concert and the orchestra's presentation of the selected
works.
While this concert was part of the Summertime Classics series, the program
was rather narrow in terms of composers and time period. The seven works
that were performed were by only four composers and all of the works fit
into an 87 year time-period (1867-1954). As one would expect, many of the
big names in Russian music were present on the program. Tchaikovsky,
Rachmaninoff, Shostakovich, and Mussorgsky were all represented, some more
than others (Rachmaninoff had two pieces and Tchaikovsky three). This being
the Summertime Classics series, one wouldn't expect the Philharmonic to be
playing any new music by living Russian composers. However, there is much
more to Russian music than selections from The Nutcracker and Rachmaninoff's
Piano Concerto No. 1. A little more diversity in the programming would have
helped liven up the performance for the audience.
Lincoln Center
<http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/img/14-07-11-Lincoln_Center.jpg>
Despite the narrow programming, the way in which the pieces were presented
to the audience did liven up the concert and kept the listeners entertained
and engaged. Between each piece, the conductor, Bramwell Tovey, gave a
short, and at times humorous, explanation of the upcoming work. Tovey was
very personable and funny (he told several viola jokes before Tchaikovsky's
Marche Slave that got a good laugh from the audience) and his explanations
were very informative and helped put the music into a historical context.
This break from the tradition of the silent conductor and the serious
classical music audience kept the concert entertaining and made the
performance feel more personal.
