2014 "Thermidor” (a new orchestra piece) Orquesta y Coros Nacionales de España 17,18 y 19 de Octubre de 2014 Auditorio Nacional de Madrid Ricardo Llorca has recently been commissioned by the National Orchestra of Spain to write a new orchestral work (“Thermidor”) to be premiered on October 17th, 18th and 19th 2014 at the National Auditorium in Madrid. La Orquesta y Coros Nacionales de España (OCNE) han encargado una nueva obra de orquesta (“Thermidor”) a Ricardo Llorca que será estrenada los dias 17,18 y 19 de Octubre de 2014 en el Auditorio Nacional de Madrid. “El alicantino Ricardo Llorca ha obtenido una “Ayuda de la Fundación SGAE para la creación sinfónica en 2014”, con el objetivo de fomentar la nueva creación de obras y contribuir a su programación por parte de las orquestas españolas. Según un comunicado de la Fundación SGAE, Ricardo Llorca es uno de los doce autores que este año recibirán estas ayudas, dentro del Programa de Incentivos a la Creación que desarrolla junto a la Asociación Española de Orquestas (AEOS). La iniciativa, fruto del acuerdo establecido entre ambas instituciones y que se desarrolla por noveno año consecutivo, tiene como fin estimular la creación de nuevas obras y contribuir a su programación por parte de las orquestas españolas dentro de sus temporadas de conciertos, ciclos y giras. “Thermidor” ( a work in progress/ notas de Ricardo Llorca) Según Imbert de Saint-Amand: “Thermidor es el triunfo de la tolerancia y la pluralidad frente al fanatismo revolucionario, la victoria del placer contra el dolor, de la vida contra la muerte, del gozo frente al sufrimiento”. La “Reacción de Thermidor” es el nombre que recibe el periodo de la Revolución Francesa en el que se pone fin al "gobierno revolucionario" y del Terror, dando paso al dominio de los conservadores, llamados precisamente “termidorianos”. Debido a la reacción termidoriana - 9 Thermidor Año II - con el derrocamiento del radical revolucionario Maximilien Robespierre y sus seguidores en ese mes, la palabra "Thermidor" ha llegado a significar una retirada de las metas y estrategias radicales hacia objetivos mas conservadoras y tradicionales. Además, durante el periodo del Thermidor francés, un nuevo tipo de personajes extravagantes hizo acto de presencia en las calles: “Les Incroyables”, hijos de la antigua nobleza y supervivientes de la guillotina, que comenzaron a ver reconocido socialmente su sufrimiento. “Les Incroyables” eran extremadamente afectados, llenos de provocadora insolencia y tan amanerados que sorteaban en sus conversaciones el uso de determinados sonidos por considerados vulgares como era el caso de la letra "R". Iban provistos de bastones que utilizaban con un doble propósito, por un lado para señalar su resuelto aristocratismo, y por otro, para atacar a los sans-coulotte, a los que considerab an el odiado símbolo del fanatismo revolucionario. “Les Incroyables” no estaban solos, su estética masculina iba de la mano de otra femenina surgida en periodo del Thermidor: “Les Merveilleuses”. De entre todas ellas, la más significada era la española Teresa Cabarrús, Nuestra Señora de Thermidor, introductora del renacimiento griego y del estilo neoclásico en Francia. “Les Mervelleuses” eran jóvenes aún, ansiosas de vivir todo aquello que los fundamentalistas de la Revolución les había quitado, con esa irritante cicatería de los jacobinos hacía todo aquello que era bello y agradable. No muy es difícil ver la relación y la metáfora que puedo sugerir con este concepto de “Reacción Thermidoriana” si la aplicamos al ámbito de la cultura, y más concretamente, al ámbito de una obra de música contemporánea. http://ocne.mcu.es http://www.lasprovincias.es

2014 The Juilliard School (Fall Semester 2014) IGOR STRAVINSKY (Instructor: Ricardo Llorca) Igor Stravinsky, the celebrated master of modernity, is perhaps the most powerful figure in the 20th century music. His sense of rhythm and exotic tonalities makes his music some of the most exciting experiences a listener can encounter. Like his contemporary Pablo Picasso, he had a cataclysmic effect on Western culture which spanned over three generations. To understand Stravinsky’s work is to understand the 20th century music in all its different stages: the Nationalism, the Polytonalism, the Avant-gardes, the Dodecaphonics, the Neoclassicism, etc. His earlier works exhibit the influences of Wagner, Debussy and Rimsky-Korsakov; and as he progressed, he added Eastern and heavily stylized Russian elements to his music, along with rhythms that he alone understood and scored. As he entered into the later stages of his life, he adopted an almost neo-classic stance, informed by influences as diverse as Baroque counterpointal techniques and American Jazz. In this Course we will try to comprehend and to analyze, through Stravinsky’s unequaled brilliance and originality, every lasting aspect of the 20th century music. We will travel from Russia in the late 1800’ to the avant-garde Paris of the early 1900’ to Hollywood in the 1960’, discovering the events and influences that shaped Stravinsky’s life and work. We will see why Stravinsky ranks as one of the best composers for the stage, with his Ballets “The Firebird ”, “Petrouchka ”, and “The Rite of Spring ”. We will also see his operas “The Rake’s Progress ” and “Oedipus Rex ”, as well as some of his chamber writing, and a masterpiece of choral composition “The Symphony of Psalms ”.
2015 The Juilliard School (Spring Semester 2015) RICHARD STRAUSS (Instructor: Ricardo Llorca) Richard Strauss, the last Romantic composer, is one of the giant and most controversial figures in contemporary music.His artistic education was conservative and his aesthetics were classical, yet his music shocked the world with his iconoclastic symphonic works that inspired avid debate, as well as his operas that literally incited crowds to riot. Already in 1905, with “Salome”, Strauss found operatic immortality as the composer of the most scandalously sensational stage production of his era. The powerful “Elektra” (1909) and the glory of “ Der Rosenkavalier” (1911) brought fortunes to both Strauss and his librettist, the Austrian poet Hugo von Hofmannsthal. Symphonic poems, beautiful songs and choruses, chamber music and two symphonies complete the list of his work. With audio and visual material, and concentrating on specific examples, this course will analyze and listen to some of Richard Strauss’s symphonic works, like “Don Juan”,“Till Eulenspeigel” or “Also sprach Zarathustra”. We will also examine the musical and dramatic aspects of “Salome”, “Elektra” and “The Rosenkavalier”, and will analyze in depth at what is considered one of the masterpieces of the twentieth Century, Richard Strauss’s threnody for strings “Metamorphosen” (1945). The class will also discuss his life and will focus on his roots, aesthetics, and his relationship with the exciting world of Vienna in the early 1900’s.
2013 VALENCIA/ENSEMS 35 FESTIVAL INTERNACIONAL DE MUSICA CONTEMPORANEA “BORDERLINE” (para Batucada y Orquesta) Grup Instrumental, Joan Cerveró, director Centre del Carme (Sala Refectori) València 29 Mayo 2013 Borderline (Al límite) “Durante el año 2011 visité varias veces a los indignados de Wall Street, acampados en las misma puerta de mi casa, y fui testigo de los primeros brotes de una rebeldía un tanto utópica que nos recuerda que en el mundo de hoy se necesita una buena dosis de irrealidad para poder sobrevivir. También los vi en un corto viaje a Madrid, que aproveché para visitar la acampada de la Puerta del Sol, aunque tanto allí como en Wall Street todo me recordaba más a un instinto tribal de supervivencia fantástica que a la búsqueda de una situación razonable. Hoy, después de casi dos años, medio mundo está manifestándose. Curiosamente, y esto es lo que más llamó mi atención, tanto en Nueva York como en el resto del mundo las manifestaciones las inicia siempre una batucada con unos chicos y chicas marcando el paso frenético al ritmo de la música brasileña. Cuando, en junio de 2011, Joan Cerveró y el CNDM me encargaron esta obra, decidí inspirarme de alguna manera en todo lo que yo había visto durante aquellos meses de primavera. Así, al llegar el verano, me mudé a Barcelona y tuve la oportunidad de trabajar muy de cerca con un grupo de jóe nes entusiastas con el que había contactado por internet: La Republik del Avern. Tras una reunión inicial, convocada a través de Facebook en una cancha de baloncesto del Barrio de Sants y a la que acudieron más de cuarenta muchachos con sus tambores y con sus instrumentos de percusión, pasé casi todo aquel verano participando en sus desfiles y aprendiendo un estilo que yo desconocía hasta entonces: la batería de samba, música omnipresente en todas las manifestaciones de indignados de Madrid y Nueva York. Ya de vuelta en Nueva York, me puse manos a la obra intentando plasmar en una partitura todo lo que había aprendido durante el verano. En términos estrictamente musicales, la estructura básica de la batucada se divide en llamada-respuesta entre el repique y los surdos, la frase de recuperación de los tamborines, el ritmo-base y la frase de fin. A lo largo del ritmo-base también se pueden intercalar diferentes breaks o cortes. Se produce así un dialogo o contrapunto entre los distintos instrumentos que yo he intentado desarrollar al máximo en esta obra. En Borderline hay elementos de música contemporánea, especialmente en su escritura orquestal, aunque he intentado combinarla con una estructura estándar de la batucada. También he añadido dos elementos extraños a la batucada, pero muy atractivos desde mi punto de vista: el cajón peruano y el arpa solista”. Ricardo Llorca
2013 SENSEDANCE / FALL 2013 Nov. 16 & 17: SALON SERIES at The Ailey Studios Nov. 23 & 24: Performances at Peridance Capezio Center New-York based dance company SENSEDANCE performs the music of Ricardo Llorca SARAO for Erin Ginn and Matt Van is set to a fiery piano score by frequent collaborator, composer Ricardo Llorca. Just as the music deconstructs a Scarlatti Sonata, so does the choreography play with the conventions of a classical pas de deux and puts wit in the phrasing. SARAO is a Spanish word for party. Not every relationship continues after the ball is over. The pas de deux CAVES to a guitar work by the same composer pays tribute to the long-time collaboration of the two Juilliard graduates and faculty members Rübsam and Llorca. The unconventional use of point work as a means of story telling is demonstrated by company member Temple Kemezis who is partnered by Lloyd Knight.

2013 - 2014 Class "Diaghilev and Les Ballet Russes" THE JUILLIARD SCHOOL Class 2013-14 Serge Diaghilev, an impresario who encouraged collaboration in the arts, is one of the most influential artistic figures of the twentieth century. He gathered the geniuses of his time and was the patron of the most daring and innovative group in the history of the arts: the Ballet Russes. Its first season in Paris in 1909 was a triumph. Audiences were stunned by the music, the quality of the dancing, the spectacular sets, and the exotic atmosphere of the ballets. Diaghilev’s earlier productions exhibited the influences of Tchaikovsky, Debussy, and Rimsky-Korsakov. As he progressed, he added Eastern and stylized Russian elements to his ballets, along with rhythms and music that he alone understood and commissioned. As he entered into the later stages, his productions adopted an almost neoclassic stance, informed by influences as diverse as Baroque contrapuntal techniques, French music, and American Jazz.The company Diaghilev assembled comprised some of the ballet’s greatest dancers and choreographers – Fokine, Pavlova, Karsavina, Nijinsky, Massine, and Balanchine – who were given scores by great composers such as Richard Strauss, Maurice Ravel, Eric Satie, Manuel de Falla, Darius Milhaud, and Francis Poulenc. Igor Stravinsky’s work graced every season of the Ballet Russes, from its sensational debut in 1909 through to the final 1929 season just prior to Diaghilev’s death. Along the way, they created masterpieces of both music and choreography in “The Firebird,” “Petrushka,” “Le Sacre du Printemps,” “L’Histoire du Soldat,” “Pulcinella,” “Les Noces,” and “Apollon Musagete.” Costumes and scenery were designed by painters like Matisse, Leo Bakst, Alexander Benois, Pablo Picasso, Di Chirico and Robert Delaunay. With this startling concentration of talent, it is hardly surprising that the Ballet Russes made such a lasting impact.
Diciembre 2012 Conservatorio de Cáceres “Curso de Interpretacion de la Musica Contemporanea” Prof: Ricardo Llorca “El curso está basado en el estudio y la interpretación de obras de compositores contemporáneos cuya música no siempre precisa de una notación musical especializada. El desarrollo del pensamiento creativo musical en las últimas décadas ha sido muy rico, muy complejo, lleno de logros, y también ayudado por el auge de los medios de comunicación que están cambiado radicalmente el mundo de la música contemporánea. Las generaciones más jóvenes de compositores ya pueden transmitir su propia música y escuchar las obras de los demás a través de Youtube, Googlevídeos, y MP3’s , además de participar en blogs, foros de música contemporánea, y salas de chat. Sus diarios se han convertido en narradores de la música de hoy y han creado su propio grupo de amigos y seguidores en sitios como MySpace, Twitter, o Facebook. En este curso también se reflexionará acerca de la importancia de la música contemporánea en nuestros días”. Curso: INTERPRETACIÓN DE MÚSICA CONTEMPORÁNEA

Fall semester – 4 weeks (November/December) - Thursday 5:30 – 7pm The Juilliard School “John Adams: an American Master” John Adams is one of America's most admired and frequently performed composers. Audiences have responded enthusiastically to his music and he enjoys a success not seen by any American composer since George Gerswhin or Leonard Bernstein. John Adams was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1947. During his youth he was strongly influenced by the intellectual and cultural institutions of New England. He received both his BA and MA degrees from Harvard University, where he was active as a conductor, clarinetist, and composer. His principal teachers included Leon Kirchner, David Del Tredici, and Roger Sessions. After graduating from Harvard University in 1971, he moved to California, where he taught and conducted at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music for ten years. His innovative concerts led to his appointment as the orchestra's composer-in-residence between 1979 and 1985, the period in which his reputation became established with the success of such works as “Harmonium” and “Harmonielehre”. Later Adams would compose “On the Transmigation of Souls”, a work written in commemoration of the first anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks. Adams was closely allied with the style known as “Minimalism” which utilizes repetitive melodic patterns and consonant harmonies. Unlike some other minimalist music, John Adams’ works are marked by frequent allusions to a wide range of 20th-century idioms, both popular and classical. John Adams shocked a lot of people when he put contemporary figures such as Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger and Mao Zedong on the operatic stage in “Nixon in China” (1985-87). Adams saw these characters almost as mythical figures, not unlike the gods and legendary heroes that populated so much classical opera. The director Peter Sellars, librettist Alice Goodman and the choreographer Mark Morris were his collaborators in this project and in his next opera, “The Death of Klinghoffer” (1991), based on the 1985 hijacking of a cruise-liner. Adams’s most recent operatic works are “Doctor Atomic” (2005) and “A Flowering Tree” (2006). This class is intended for musicians as well as those with no musical background.
Auditorio de Sant Cugat (Domingo 20 de Noviembre de 2011) Teatro Perez Galdós de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (exact dates to be confirmed) Teatro de la Zarzuela de Madrid (exact dates to be confirmed) Palau de la Musica de Valencia (exact dates to be confirmed) “Lucero Nuestro: concierto homenaje a Victoria de los Angeles” “La cita es el domingo 20 a las 19h. en el Teatre-Auditori de Sant Cugat: será la primera parada del nuevo ciclo de conciertos “Lucero nuestro” que, en la huella de Victoria de los Ángeles, rescata un repertorio muy poco prodigado, una iniciativa que arranca en esta localidad barcelonesa de la mano de la directora artística del ciclo, la mezzo canaria Nancy Fabiola Herrera, y que tendrá continuidad en el Teatro Pérez Galdós de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria y en el madrileño Teatro de La Zarzuela, a los que el futuro se sumarán otros escenarios como el Palau de la Música de Valencia. Gracias a esta nueva oferta se pretende dotar de fondos a la Fundación Victoria de los Ángeles, ya que los conciertos son todos en su beneficio y los intérpretes que participan lo hacen de manera altruista, tal y como indicó Herrera en rueda de Prensa: “ Nuestro objetivo es ofrecer programas que difundan el repertorio español, ese que Victoria llevó por todo el mundo, una hermosa manera de aportar nuestro granito de arena”. Helena Mora, presidenta de la Fundación Victoria de los Ángeles, apuntó sentirse orgullosa de que “cantantes jóvenes y que triunfan en importantes teatros se sientan inspirados por Victoria y se unan a este proyecto que nace con vocación de futuro”. Nancy Fabiola Herrera es, precisamente, una de las cantantes españolas de mayor proyección internacional, quien aceptó la oferta de convertirse en directora artística del ciclo “consciente de que nuestro deber como intérpretes españoles es difundir nuestro repertorio dando lo mejor de nosotros mismos. Desarrollar este proyecto para recaudar fondos para la Fundación apoyando el formato de recital, de canción de concierto, es seguir la huella de Victoria, quien cultivó este formato durante toda su carrera. Es una oportunidad para que el artista diseñe un programa para todo tipo de público ayudando a la Fundación a recaudar dinero para becas de estudio para talentos jóvenes sin recursos y para ayudar en la manutención de Alejando, el hijo con síndrome de down de Victoria de los Ángeles al que ella llamaba ‘Lucero mío’: de ahí el nombre del ciclo”. Este primer recital, con obras de Mompou, Ortega, Falla, Llorca y Montsalvatge, correrá a cargo de Nancy Fabiola Herrera acompañada del pianista norteamericano Mac McClure”.

"NONET," one of three premieres, is a fun neo-classical ballet for the nine-member ensemble. The bright colors of the costumes enhance the upbeat mood of the dancing. Elegant Maria Phegan starts out with three women mirroring her movements in canon. Patterns form and dissolve into momentary mayhem only to build new configurations, which in turn bring the fine music by one of the company's resident composers, Ricardo Llorca, to a rich and satisfying life”.

Spring Semester, 2012. The Future of Classical Music The Juilliard School/ Spring Semester 2012. Course outline: “The development of creative musical thought in the last decades has been rich and complex, full of achievements and with seemingly endless contradictions. Change has continued to overtake music and the arts and new forces have been set in motion. The Internet moving at full speed and the rise of digital media have changed dramatically the world of today’s music. Younger generations of composers have created their own network by effortlessly transmitting their music through Youtube videos and MP3’s and by participating in blogs, forums and chat rooms. Their diaries have become storytellers of today’s music and have created their own group of friends and followers in places such as MySpace, Twitter or Facebook. What might one say abo ut the changing cultural role of composers in our time ?; What is the future of music ?; Who are today's most outstanding living composers ?; Which are the different styles that best represent the music of today ?; What is the real influence of contemporary music in today's society ?. These are questions that we will analyze and discuss in this class. To understand the works and the different styles of today's living composers, and their role in modern society, is certainly a controversial and an exciting subject. We will bring specially for this class some composers of the last generation who will help us understand their music. We will also focus on the different styles that have shaped the music of today. With live performances, using audio and visual material, and concentrating on specific examples, this course will analyze and listen to some of the historical trends that have shaped the music of today's composers. This class is intended for musicians as well as those with no musical background.

2010/11 THE JUILLIARD SCHOOL Academic Year 2010/11 ( New York City ) “Music of Spain and Latin America” Instructor: Ricardo Llorca A course beggining January 2011 The contributions of Spanish, Latin American and Caribbean composers to music literature have been substantial and certainly deserve to be better known. Music has always occupied a central position in the Hispanic cultures, from the popular types to concert pieces and from chamber styles to contemporary music. For more than 1,000 years, music in Spain has combined the traditions of Jewish, Islamic, Gypsy, and Western music to produce one of the most exciting and colorful of national sounds. Those traditions were later brought to the New World where they were mixed with autochthonous music in South America, and African sounds in Brazil and the Caribbean. “La Purpura de la Rosa”, the first opera to be performed in the New World, was presented in Lima in 1701. It had a colorful Spanish continuo-accompaniment of harp, guitars, and percussion, with choruses sung to the lively rhythms of South American dances. We can see the descendants of these 17th-century traditions in today’s itinerant South American folk musicians and in Spanish student bands. Lately, composers such as Alberto Ginastera or Ernesto Lecuona would reflect in their compositions a music born of different traditions: jazz, ballroom music, Spanish folk, and the Afro-Cuban trend. Over the years the performances and the music of Astor Piazzola, Daniel Baremboim, Alicia de la Rocha, Andres Segovia, and Pablo Casals have brought Spanish and Southamerican music forward. This course will trace the roots of Spanish and South American music and examine the splendors of the Middle Ages, Pre-Columbian, Renaissance, and Baroque periods, and will follow Spanish and South American compositions through the triumphs of the 20th century. The course will feature live performances of instrument works as well as videos and recordings not available in the United States. COMPOSERS OF TODAY: THE NEW GENERATION Every age produces aesthetics and individuals destined to shape the cultural history of their times. Change has continued to overtake music and the arts and new forces have been set in motion. What might one say about the changing cultural role of composers in our time ?. The development of creative musical thought in the last decades has been rich and complex, full of achievements and with seemingly endless contradictions. To understand the works and the different styles of today's living composers, and their role in modern society, is certainly a controversial and an exciting subject. Many questions will arise when we approach the subject. Questions that we will analyze and discuss in this class: who are today's most outstanding living composers?; what is really modern music?; which are the different styles that best represent the music of today ?; what is the real influence of contemporary music in today's society ?; why have younger generations of composers rejected and ignored the last 40 years of experimentalism by returning to tonal music ?; are women well represented in the world of contemporary music?. We will bring specially for this class some composers of the last generation who will help us understand their music. We will also focus on the different styles that have shaped the music of today. With live performances, using audio and visual material, and concentrating on specific examples, this course will analyze and listen to some of the historical trends that have shaped the music of today's composers. This class is intended for musicians as well as those with no musical background www.juilliard.edu

25 September - 3 October 2009 BIENNALE DI VENEZIA 53rd International Festival of Contemporary Music The Body of Sound 25 September - 3 October 2009 Orchestra Sinfonica del Teatro La Fenice Friday 25 September, 8 p.m. Teatro La Fenice Conductor: Joana Carneiro The 32-year-old Portuguese conductor, Joana Carneiro, one of the most brilliant currently on the scene, will be conducting the prestigious Orchestra of the Teatro La Fenice in the inaugural concert of the 53rd International Festival of Contemporary Music. Freshly nominated as conductor of the Berkeley Symphony Orchestra, where she is the successor to Kent Nagano, former assistant conductor to Esa-Pekka Salonen at the Los Angeles Philharmonic and principal guest conductor of the Gulbenkian Orchestra, Joana Carneiro will offer a programme that ranges from Wolfgang Rihm and Karin Rehnqvist, respectively present with Form/Zwei Formen and Solsången, the latter for its Italian premiere, to Ligeti and Varèse, with celebrated pieces such as Arcana, and the Lontano, which shed light on their technique and their musical thinking. Spectra Ensemble Monday 28 September, 6 p.m. Teatro Piccolo Arsenale For over fifteen years, the Spectra Ensemble – founded in 1993 – has sought to create a relationship of dialogue and exchange between new musical production from Belgium and the international arena. In response to this idea and a permanent nucleus of eight instrumentalists of the highest quality, the Spectra Ensemble regularly commissions new work, contributing to the formation of a contemporary repertoire in a country that, especially thanks to Lucien Goethals and Karel Goeyvaerts, has contributed to the evolution of music today. There are more than 70 works by mainly Belgian authors commissioned and performed by the Spectra Ensemble, including those of Pierre Bartholomée, Joachim Brackx, Boudewijn Buckinx, Frits Celis, Claude Coppens, Raoul Desmet, Alvaro Guimaraes, Filip Rathé, Hans Roels, André Laporte, Geert Logghe, Frank Nuyts, Lucien Posman, Jan Rispens, Lucien Goethals, Violeta Dinescu (Germany), Niki Kemp (Britain) and Gilberto Mendes (Brazil). The concert by the Belgian ensemble combines music by Paolo Furlani, Stefano Gervasoni and Luc Brewaeys, musicians belonging to the same generation but of very different training, ending with Octandre, another cornerstone of the aesthetics of Varèse, after Integrales, Hyperprism and Arcane in an ideal tribute to the composer who appears throughout the Festival.

March 7, 2009 Estreno de la obra "La Llum" (para Coro SATB y piano solista). 8 PM. Earl Hall ( Columbia University, New York). Obra encargada por The Manhattan Choral Ensemble para su Ciclo "New Music for New York". New Music For New York and Brahms Zigeunerlieder The MCE celebrates its fifth season of its innovative commissioning program, New Music for New York, with three new works written for the MCE performed in historic Earl Hall of Columbia University. The composers of the new works are Shawn Crouch, Ricardo Llorca, and Martha Sullivan. The MCE has now commissioned over 20 new works for chorus from local New York-based composers, providing audiences with fresh and fascinating listening experiences and opportunities to meet the composers bringing these new choral sounds to life. The programming for these concerts has long been the unusual combination of new works with traditional choral favorites, but this year the juxtaposition will be taken to a new level - the complete opus 103 of Brahms, the Gypsy love songs called Zigeunerlieder, will be interwoven with the three new works, creating an unusual opportunity to listen to newly composed music directly beside ea rlier masterworks. The composers have been invited to respond to this novel context for their works however they'd like, and the audience is invited to reflect on the pollination of ideas from one era and style to another. The concert will close with three favorites of long-standing with the MCE - Precious Lord, My Shepherd Will Supply My Need, and Danny Boy. 8pm, Saturday, March 7, 2009 Earl Hall, Columbia University, New York City www.manhattanchoralensemble.org/concerts
