Andrzej Panufnik In 1914 Andrzej Panufnik was born in Warsaw, Poland. He was one of the leading Polish composers, and as a conductor he was instrumental in the re-establishment of the Warsaw Philharmonic orchestra after World War II. After his increasing frustration with the extra-musical demands made on him by the country’s regime, he defected to the United Kingdom in 1954, and took up British citizenship. He briefly became chief conductor of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, a post he relinquished after two years to devote all his time to composition. 1 In 1919 Vaclav Nelhybel was born in Polanska, Czechoslovakia.

Intriguing Promise from Bassoons
Janet Underhill (file photo) The contemporary music ensemble ALEA III opened its 37th season at Boston University with a program dedicated to the bassoon, coordinated by and featured Boston-area bassoonist Janet Underhill, whose biography features her work as a teacher, including 10 years of managing the chamber music program at the Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra. As a player, she has a remarkably fluid technique and a velvety tone, and her interpretations are thoughtful, but perhaps a little conservative. This conservative quality extended to the evening’s programming. A night of “new music for bassoon” promises something that “contemporary music for the violin” or “new music for the piano” does not. The latter two just sound like normal programming. Thursday night’s concert at the Tsai promised something a bit more intriguing than usual, and delivered a few flashes of the unexpected, but was ultimately cautious and careful. Still, there was certainly […]

The 1pm concert in Shaver Theater began with Catherine Wood and the Brandon University Clarinet Choir from Brandon, Manitoba (members include: Christopher Byman, Eric Calrow, Danning Chen, Alyssa English, Amanda Forest, Alexandra Harrington, Iris Hwang, Vanessa Klassen, Stevie MacPherson, Gregory Monias, Joelle Nielsen, and Preston Rocan). They opened the program with the U.S. premiere of Jeff Presslaff’s Subtranslucence. The work featured active parts for all players with several small solo moments throughout. Ensemble member Christopher Byman composed the second piece, Signs VII, which is based on the Zodiac sign Libra. The dense textures and thick harmony in both pieces worked well with the ensemble, which played with good balance and tone. They ended their set with Klezmer Suite – a fun set of two traditional pieces and one newly composed kelzmer piece that highlighted three student soloists. The University of Delaware Clarinet Ensemble is directed by Christopher Nichols and includes […]
