A Festival Fanfare for Eastman
“ The music begins with me, so I must write music that resonates with me and that I feel committed to sharing with the world. But the music comes to life through performers, teachers, students, and audiences. And when they chuckle at a funny moment or are moved by a lyrical melody, then I know I have written something meaningful.” – Steve Danyew Steve Danyew is a composer based here in Rochester, who also teaches courses focused on helping young musicians develop their own creative careers at the Eastman School of Music’s Institute for Music Leadership. He took the time to share a little bit of his creative process for a recent composition that awaits its premiere: a fanfare inspired by a mural on the wall of Kodak Hall in Eastman Theatre.

New Violin Concerto at Eastman
Violinist Wendy Toh and the Eastman School Symphony Orchestra give the world premiere performance of a violin concerto by Zoe Wang this Wednesday at 8pm in Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre .

Q: Congratulations, Zoe, on winning Eastman School’s Belle Gitleman award in 2016 for Five Wright Songs and The Ecstasy of Six Persian Poems. Please tell us about your creative process. In retrospect, my music has always been connected to an extra-musical source: it could be a painting, literature, or stories in my life. For instance, Five Wright Songs are a set of song cycle based on five poems by James Arlington Wright dedicate to my grandfather, who passed away a few months before I wrote the piece. The Ecstasy was commissioned by Benson Creativity […]
