Composer Lisa Bielawa’s Tempelhof Etude World Premiere by The Knights, Presented by Naumburg Orchestral Concerts
Posted by s21concerts in Concert Announcement
On June 20 at the Naumburg Bandshell in Central Park, New Yorkers will have the chance to hear the first musical chapter, Tempelhof Etude for orchestra, from composer Lisa Bielawa’s massive new work, Tempelhof Broadcast. The Knights, conducted by Eric Jacobsen, will give the piece its world premiere as part of a FREE concert that also includes Morton Feldman’s Madame Press Died Last Week at Ninety and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5. Bielawa’s Tempelhof Broadcast will be premiered by 600 musicians on the tarmac of the former Tempelhof Airport in Berlin in 2012. A prelude to the larger piece, Tempelhof Etude is Bielawa’s exploration of “ways to make musical experiences unfold organically, according to mnemonics, rules and games.” A winner of the 2009 Rome Prize for Musical Composition, she has been hailed by Gramophone as, “a composer gaining gale force, churning out impeccably groomed works that at once evoke the layered precision of Vermeer and the conscious recklessness of Jackson Pollock.”
