YSM recordings online
A growing library of netcasts -- recordings of performances by
students and faculty, samples of music by Yale faculty composers, and
historical material from the archives of the Oral History American Music
Project -- have been posted on the School of Music website and on Yale's
iTunesU site, hosted by Apple. Performances by pianists Peter Frankl and Robert
Blocker with the Yale Philharmonia, the Alianza Quartet, and the Yale Brass
Trio are among the first podcasts that were made available for downloading.
Faculty compositions in the netcast library include Ezra Laderman's Clarinet
Concerto with David Shifrin and conductor Ransom Wilson; Martin Bresnick's Grace, a concerto for two marimbas and orchestra, with
soloists Robert van Sice and Eduard Leandro ’99MusM and conductor Shinik Hahm;
and Aaron Jay Kernis's Newly Drawn Sky, played by Hahm and the Philharmonia. The netcasts also include
historical programs, including a set of interviews with Aaron Copland conducted
by Vivian Perlis over many years, and another netcast of discussions with
friends and colleagues of Charles Ives. To hear these programs, visit the
School of Music website (www.yale.edu/music/ysm) and follow the links to our
netcasts and podcasts. Yale's iTunesU site is http://itunes.yale.edu.
Yale at Carnegie Hall
The first annual "Yale at Carnegie" series, a five-concert series
bringing the best of Yale's School of Music to the audiences of New York,
kicked off October 1 with a program of chamber music that featured faculty
pianist Claude Frankl, the Tokyo String Quartet, and the Alianza Quartet. The
Alianza Quartet, a post-graduate ensemble that the Tokyo Quartet has been
mentoring for the past several years, is a group of YSM alumni: violinists
Sarita Kwok ’06ArtA and Lauren Basney ’06ArtA, violist Ahyoung Sung ’05ArtA,
and cellist Dmitri Atapine ’06ArtA. The second concert in the series took place
October 29 in Carnegie's Weill Recital Hall. "The Songs of Charles Ives"
featured 37 rarely heard songs written by Ives (Class of 1898), and celebrated
the upcoming release of the complete Ives songbook on six CDs. Among the
performers in the Ives concert were mezzo-sopranos Leah Wool ’03ArtA and Tamara
Mumford ’04Mus, soprano Jennifer Casey Cabot ’89MusM, and tenor Ryan MacPherson
’00ArtA, as well as two current students, Edward Parks and Joshua Copeland.
Three more concerts at Carnegie Hall are scheduled for the spring.
