Since her age twelve debut with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Beth Levin has been celebrated as a bold interpreter of challenging works, from the Romantic canon to leading modernist composers like David Del Tredici and Frank Brickle, both of whom have written works for her. The New York Times praised her “fire and originality”, while The New Yorker called her playing “revelatory”.

Babbitt, Boretz & Brickle have all lived a life in music that gradually and inexorably built a musical hermeneutics, wherein a musical perspective/orientation triumphs over the hermeneutics of suspicion (suspicion of words). In this perspective, musical experience is the model or basis for a broader approach to difficult normative questions — grounding and value structuring. Brickle was a serious student of Ben’s Metavariations and Babbitt was a very early and enthusiastic reader of it.

Benjamin Boretz (benjaminboretz.org) was born in 1934. He was one of the first composers to work with computer-synthesized sound (Group Variations II, 1970–72). In the late 1970s and 1980s he converged his compositional and pedagogical practices in a project of real-time improvisational music-making, culminating in the formation at Bard College of the music-learning program called Music Program Zero, which flourished until 1995. Much of the work of this project is posted on the website bejaminboretz.org under the title THE INNER STUDIO. Central to this project were a series of duo keyboard conversations with J. K. Randall, some of which are issued on OPEN SPACE CDs.

His writings include Meta-Variations, Studies in the Foundations of Musical Thought (1970) which addresses the epistemological questions involved in the cognition and composition of music, and propounds a radically relativistic/individualistic/ontological reconstruction of the musical creative process. LANGUAGE, AS A MUSIC (1976) is a verbal-vocal composition that explores the originary qualities of music and language.

In 1962 Boretz co-founded (with Arthur Berger) the composers’ magazine Perspectives of New Music. In 1988 he, Elaine Barkin and J. K. Randall founded Open Space (a composers’ cooperative for recordings, books, and scores). The Open Space Magazine was started in 1999 (with Mary Lee A. Roberts), and is currently edited with Dorota Czerner, Tildy Bayar, Jon Forshee, Dean Rosenthal, and Arthur Margolin. He was principal music critic for The Nation from 1962 to 1970. His texts and music from the 1950s to the present are published and recorded by OPEN SPACE.

Composer Frank Brickle has pursued an eccentric path to the music he is writing now. He was born, musically speaking, into High Modernism: at Princeton, his chief teacher and mentor was Milton Babbitt, and he worked long and hard to master the esoteric style and techniques of that milieu. Between then and now, however, he has worked even longer and harder to mould those same arcane techniques to the needs of a much wider range of styles, from high down to low, and much in between. Brickle has created over eighty-five compositions, and a number of arrangements and transcriptions, for a wide range of instrumental ensembles and media.

Many of his earlier pieces employ synthesized and processed sound. Over time, however, he has concentrated increasingly on writing for instruments and the voice, as he has come to treasure especially the unique moment when the performers have begun to be comfortable with the score and start making the music their own. And while his music has been evolving a great deal over more than four decades, he has attached much importance to continuity: Rather than rejecting 20th-century Modernism, he has devoted much effort to adapting and transforming its methods and techniques into a more personal, expansive, intimate, and inviting dialect.

Guitarist/composer Pascual Araujo lives in Queens New York. He studied guitar with William Anderson at Queens College. He is a freelance musican and a member of the NYC Classical Guitar Orchestra and the The Villate Trip Guitar Orchestra.

About this event
Event lasts 2 hours
In a globalized world, composers are negotiating their identities in relation to both their cultural origins and broader, global contexts. Their music serves as a powerful medium for expressing and exploring these identities. By understanding and embracing the diversity of musical influences and backgrounds, societies can foster a rich and inclusive cultural landscape.

Join us as we hear from four world-renowned composers, Craig Urquhart, Sergei Newsky, Konstantia Gourzi, and Tamar Muskal, from across the Atlantic to discuss their identity in our globalized world and present samples of their music. Moderated by pianist and concert curator Sophia Zhou. Curated and co-moderated by sculptor and artist Alexander Polzin. With music provided by the Juilliard School, as well as by performer Omar El-Okdah.

The event is organized in collaboration with the Leo Baeck Institute New York and generously sponsored by The Halle Foundation (Atlanta) and the Friends of Freiburg.

Craig Urquhart is a pianist and composer, whose passion for music began when he first saw Leonard Bernstein’s Young People’s Concerts on television. After looking up to the music legend for years, he had the great fortune of meeting the Maestro in person and eventually took a position as his assistant.

Craig’s compositions are carefully constructed to deliver a rich experience to the listener. Claiming a space completely separate from the New Age genre, the classically trained composer and performer delivers fine-tuned elegance crafted with minute attention to every detail. In the words of the late Bernstein himself, Craig’s music “has a deceptive simplicity and honesty that is rarely to be heard in contemporary song-writing.” Craig has recently completed his 13th album of solo piano music Renewal. Craig resides in Berlin, Germany but travels regularly for performances across the world.

Sergei Nevsky was born in Moscow and attended college there at the Tchaikovsky State Conservatory. He then studied composition with Jörg Herchet (Dresden University of Music) and Friedrich Goldmann (Berlin University of the Arts) as well as music theory and music pedagogy with Hartmut Fladt (Berlin University of the Arts).

He has received commissions from the Stuttgart State Opera, Staatsoper Unter den Linden, Ruhrtriennale, SWR Symphony Orchestra, RSO Stuttgart, as well as Klangforum Wien, Collegium Novum Zürich, Musik der Jahrhunderte, Perm Opera, among others.

Sergey has been awarded numerous prizes, including the Berlin Art Prize in 2014 and 1st prize in the 2006 composition competition of the state capital Stuttgart for the piece “Fluss” (2005 version). He has received scholarships from the Villa Aurora, the German Academy Casa Baldi, the Cité Internationale des Arts Paris, the Berlin Senate and the Academy of Arts Berlin, the Villa Serpentara, the Wilfried Steinbrenner Foundation and the Künstlerhof Schreyahn. Since 2022 he is a member of the Saxon Academy of Arts Dresden. Sergey Nevsky lives in Berlin.

Konstantia Gourzi, “Opus Klassik” award-winner as a Composer of the Year in 2023, has enriched contemporary music in a unique way for more than 30 years as a composer, conductor and university professor with her world-exploring sound cosmos and authentic language. Her compositional work includes works for orchestra, chamber ensemble and solo pieces as well as music for music theater and film music. Gourzi repeatedly engages with social challenges and timeless natural themes: she feels an inner urge to transform these themes through the unique energy of music.

Konstantia Gourzi studied piano, composition and conducting in her home city of Athens and at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK). Since 1991, Konstantia Gourzi has founded and directed various ensembles and she taught at the Hanns Eisler Academy of Music in Berlin and has held a professorship for ensemble conducting at the Academy of Music and Theater in Munich since 2002. Her clients include the BBC, the Bavarian State Opera, the Venice Biennale, the Grafenegg Festival, the Berlin State Opera, the Tonkünstler Orchestra, the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the Bachchor Salzburg and the Lucerne Festival.

Tamar Muskal is a composer with a strong interest for incorporating interactive art into her composition. From 2002-2005 Muskal was Composer-in-Residence of the education division with the Westchester Philharmonic. In that capacity she wrote pieces for narrator and orchestra based on poems and drawings by kids from Westchester schools. Muskal is also active as a film composer. She writes music for historic black and white silent films and documentaries. Her music is featured in DVD collections of historic films by women, including The Sewer, La Glu, and Falling Leaves, released by Kino Classics.

A recipient of various awards and grants, Muskal has been honored with the Charles Ives Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a fellowship from the Guggenheim Foundation, and four awards from Yale School of Music, among others; and grants from numerous organizations including the Fromm Music Foundation at Harvard University, Opera America, Jerome Foundation, Meet the Composer, New Music USA, ASCAP and the American Composers Forum. Her work The Yellow Wind for Israeli and Palestinian vocalists, solo ney, narrator, and orchestra was nominated for a Pulitzer prize in 2015.

Tamar attended the Yale School of Music, the city University of New York and the Jerusalem Academy for Music and Dance.
