Trio Ivoire Concert 8:00 PM Lang Music Building - Lang Concert Hall Hans Lüdemann - piano & electronics Aly Keita - Balaphon & Sanza Chander Sardjoe - drums & percussion The TRIO IVOIRE is unique in instrumentation and musical scope, melting personal roots of African, European and Jazz traditions and uniting African balafon with piano, drums and electronics to create a contemporary sound that is without comparison. This has little to do with traditional African music, but a lot with finding artistic expression in a globalized reality. On the search of transporting traditional African instruments into the modern world on one hand, looking for new ways of expression in piano and Jazz music on the other, two worlds are approaching each other that seem far apart.

Notational systems bring with them much more than pitches and rhythms: "They transmit a whole way of thinking about music." How can we respond to the utility of notational invariance while still being responsive and responsible to the unique context and function of events as they unfold in the passing present? Jeanne Bamberger is Professor of Music at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, emerita, where she taught music theory and music cognition. She is currently Visiting Professor in the Graduate School of Education at UC Berkeley. Bamberger's research focuses on cognitive aspects of music perception, learning, and development. Her interdisciplinary stance leads her to investigations of learning in other domains and to an interest in young children and their teachers. She was a student of Artur Schnabel and Roger Sessions and has performed in the US and Europe as piano soloist and in chamber music ensembles. She attended Columbia University and the University of California at Berkeley receiving degrees in philosophy and music theory. Her most recent books include The Mind Behind the Musical Ear (Harvard University Press, 1995) and Developing Musical Intuitions (Oxford University Press, 2000).

Thursday, March 26, 2009 Peter Gram Swing Lecture Series: Joseph Horowitz - "Artists in Exile" 4:30 PM Lang Music Building - Lang Concert Hall Joseph Horowitz is an artistic consultant, teacher, and author. He is one of the most prominent and widely published writers on topics in American music. As an orchestral administrator and advisor, he has been a pioneering force in the development of thematic programming and new concert formats.   Mr. Horowitz's first seven books -- including Classical Music in America: A History, named one of the best books of 2005 by The Economist -- offer a detailed history and analysis of American symphonic culture, its achievements, challenges, and prospects for the future. Of his new book, Artists in Exile: How Refugees from War and Revolution Transformed the American Performing Arts  (HarperCollins, Feb. 2008), Arlene Croce has written: "Joseph Horowitz  has taken on a job which very much needed doing, and which needed doing specifically by him. He has made a thorough going analysis of that special European emigration in the last century which so deeply  influenced, and was influenced by, American culture. Bringing his superbly cultivated, coordinated interdisciplinary approach to bear on  the largest possible scale—from the harbinger Dvorak to Stravinsky and Balanchine, from Paris, Berlin, and St. Petersburg to Hollywood and  Broadway; from the Russian Revolution to the Cold War—he gathers dozens of extraordinary lives into a chronicle of epic force."

He goes his own way on his search for contemporary forms of expression and knows no borders. His roots in European and Jazz tradition are combined with African influences. These become most obvious in his collaborations with African musicians. But in a subtle way, they also have become part of his very personal style of improvising and composing music. Current projects are the "TRIO IVOIRE" with Aly Keita (Balaphon) and Chander Sardjoe (drums), the solo program "African Variations", duos with trumpet player Reiner Winterschladen and Kora player Tata Dindin. In the group RISM that has existed since 1990 in different sizes up to a septet, Lüdemann has found many fruitful connections between improvised and composed music. As a composer, Lüdemann has worked with many instruments and settings, from piano music and chamber music to the orchestral piece "Geschichte2" and "Verloren ins weite Blau" a song cycle with orchestra.Commissions from WDR, Hessischer Rundfunk and Ensemble Indigo.
