A Final Flourish with Cappella Clausura
[…] themselves and the audiences about these beautiful old sounds. As a friend of living composers, Amelia has both commissioned and performed 21st -century music written by such luminaries as Elena Ruehr, Hilary Tann, Augusta Thomas Read, Patrician van Ness, Gabriela Lena Frank, Joan Tower, and more. In her constant search for music by women from every century that has gone unheard, she has performed music by Barbara Strozzi, Raffaella Aleotti, Sulpitia Cesis, Rebecca Clarke, Florence Price, and Lili Boulanger. To name a few! In her final year, Amelia has expressed to us that she feels so proud to be able to title each concert by the composers’ names alone: Hilary Tann, Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel, Ethel Smyth, and finally Chiara Cozzolani. It is really gratifying that for Amelia’s final concert we are collaborating with H&H’s educational program, Chorus of Sopranos and Altos. With them we’ll return to Cozzolani, the very first […]

Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra. Lorenzo Viotti, conductor. April 15, 2024.
Main Hall, Concertgebouw, Amsterdam. Orchestra (Seat 20-23, 72.5 Euros).ProgramMahler's Symphony No. 9.When I booked the ticket for this concert Anne decided not to go because of her worries about jet lag and physical exertion. Jet lag has not been too difficult for either of us, and Anne felt quite good physically yesterday - our first day of arrival. By then, however, the concert was sold out. Before we got to Amsterdam, we didn't realize the tram stops from the hotel to the concert hall were practically door-to-door.As I described in the last entry, I didn't feel the acoustics of the concert hall was particularly amazing. For today's concert the orchestra sounded good enough, but the clarity I expected wasn't there.Of course this is a difficult Mahler piece to interpret, both for the orchestra and for the listener. What is undisputed is that this is Mahler's attempt at portraying the struggle between […]

For our Amsterdam stay I would attend two concerts. Anne also came to […]
