Podcast appearances and mentions of Brett Dean

Words and music - Was können Worte ausdrücken, wo Musik still sein muss, was Musik, wo Worte wie Wörter stumm ... Das Komponisten- und Hörspielmacherduo Milliken und Wiesner umkreist hierzu die Poesie der Moderne. Im Zentrum stehen Prosagedichte aus Gertrude Steins Buch "Tender Buttons" von 1914 sowie Lyrik von William Carlos Williams. Sie hinterfragen amüsant wie sprachspielerisch den von Gefühlen geleiteten Blick auf die Alltagsdinge - von der Vase, dem Wohnzimmer bis zur Obstschale. Und die Musik antwortet über eine Palette von Instrumenten und Stilen, die von Leidenschaften erzählt. Mit: Dagmar Manzel (Deutsche Stimme) Julian Day, Brett Dean, Cathy Milliken, Michael Schiefel und Vanessa Tomlinson (Englische Stimmen) Musikaufnahme: Lutz Glandien Wortaufnahme und Final Mix: Jean Szymczak Komposition: Cathy Milliken Musik-Arrangements und Regie: Dietmar Wiesner Produktion: SWR 2022

Klänge der Natur treffen auf von Menschen beeinflusste wie Autos, Baulärm und Musik. 4,5 Millionen Jahre umspannt die Evolutionskantate von Brett Dean. Das NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester führt das Werk unter Leitung von Chefdirigent Alan Gilbert während des Festivals "Elbphilharmonie Visions" 2023 erstmalig in Deutschland auf.

Join Anna and Krista as they tell you about the weirdness that is Brett Dean's Hamlet. Unsettling makeup, strange staging and a Swedish Chef-style libretto are what you'll find when you watch it. Just think: you were today years old when you learned that Shakespeare was also subject to Ye Olde Bootleg Copies.

Brettas Deanas (g. 1961) net 15 metų griežė altu Berlyno filharmonijos orkestre, ir tik vėliau nutarė atsidėti kūrybai. Dabar jis vienas žinomiausių simfoninės, operinės, kamerinės ir chorinės muzikos autorių. Deano kūryboje pulsuoja 21 amžius, jungiasi orkestrinė virtuozerija ir kinematografinė dinamika, rokenrolinis šmaikštumas ir radiofoniškas netikėtumas.Laidos autoriai Šarūnas Nakas ir Mindaugas Urbaitis

"Being part of an ensemble taught me to look not just at my line but at all the music. The composer gives you so much information in the orchestra that you don't get from just the vocal line. That really informs your character. It allows me to be more fun and more creative if I can focus on being part of the whole at any given time."Bass Benjamin Sieverding of Minneapolis, MN has gained notice for his “resonant, expressive bass” (StarTribune). He most recently made his Metropolitan Opera debut as one of the Offstage Voices/Jury in Brett Dean's Hamlet. In 2022, he also made his Intermountain Opera Bozeman debut as Mr. Noble (Pish-Tush) in The Montana Mikado. In 2021, he made his Tulsa Opera debut as Betto in Gianni Schicchi and his Omaha Symphony debut performing excerpts from Mozart's Requiem and Handel's Messiah. In 2020, he was slated to return to Minnesota Opera to sing the roles of Bull and Neal in the world premiere of Edward Tulane, to make his Austin Opera debut as the Mandarin in Turandot, reprise the Dough's Mate in Companionship with Virginia Arts Festival, reprise Doctor Grenvil in La traviata with Out of the Box Opera, and return to Mill City Summer Opera as Sparafucile/Ceprano in Rigoletto. Mr. Sieverding has performed several roles with Minnesota Opera including Alfred Austrian in The Fix, Prison Warden George Benton in Dead Man Walking, Colline in La bohème, Frère Laurent in Roméo et Juliette, Sacristan in Tosca, and Sarastro in Die Zauberflöte. Other recent performances include appearances with South Dakota State Symphony, Madison Opera, Glacier Symphony, Pacific Symphony, Fort Worth Opera, Opera in the Heights, Opera South Dakota, Lakes Area Music Festival, and Madison Symphony Orchestra. In the upcoming season, Mr. Sieverding returns to Minnesota Opera, The Metropolitan Opera, and Madison Opera.To get in touch with Ben, you can visit his website: www.benjaminsieverding.com.Email choirfampodcast@gmail.com to contact our hosts.Podcast music from Podcast.coPhoto in episode artwork by Trace Hudson from Pexels

This week, In Conversation is on tour, coming to you from the Australian Festival of Chamber Music, in Townsville. The Festival's new Artistic Director is British/German Violinist Jack Liebeck. His music ranges from the intricacy of Mozart through to the passion of contemporary Australian works by Brett Dean. He's on a whopping 17 albums, including playing on the film scores of Jane Eyre and Anna Karenina, has a keen interest in science to the extent that he's collaborated with Professor Brian Cox, and he's been described as possessing “flawless technical mastery”. Jack shares with Simon Moore his vision of the Festival, taking to the violin as a natural which had him playing Paganini concertos within a couple of years, plus some fascinating thoughts on performance and bringing classical music to a wide audience.

Sunday 19 June: A survey of the state of music education and musical culture with Anna Goldsworthy, and Lakota Vella on her pioneering guitar hero Sister Rosetta Tharpe.

Keturah speaks with Matthew Jocelyn, the celebrated director, writer, and theater administrator, who wrote the libretto for Brett Dean's Hamlet, originating in Glyndebourne in 2017, and currently playing at the Metropolitan Opera.

Shakespeare's Hamlet is one of the most influential and important works of literature and has inspired ballets, orchestral works, choral works, and more than one opera. On today's episode of the Metropolitan Opera Guild podcast, lecturer Michael Bolton tackles the significant history of this masterwork and the Met's inspiring new production of this brand new opera by composer Brett Dean.

A new opera version of Hamlet is onstage at New York's Metropolitan Opera through June 9. Composer Brett Dean and librettist Matthew Jocelyn talk with host Barbara Bogaev about adapting the texts of the earliest editions of Hamlet to create a libretto that subverts expectations and composing orchestrations that take audiences inside the minds of Hamlet and Ophelia. The Saturday, June 4 performance of Hamlet will be transmitted live to movie theaters around the world via The Met's Live in HD series. Watch it at a cinema near you. Brett Dean is the composer and Matthew Jocelyn is the librettist for Hamlet, which premiered at Britain's Glyndebourne Festival in 2017. The opera is onstage at the Metropolitan Opera through June 9.

“To be or not to be, that is the question.” It's hard to think of a more famous line from a more famous play. In this iconic speech from Shakespeare's Hamlet, the troubled Danish prince asks whether this whole life thing is even worth it. But “to be or not to be'' is not the only question we're asking this week.  When everyone knows this line so well, how do you make it fresh again? How does adapting Shakespeare's play into an opera change our understanding of the text? In this episode, host Rhiannon Giddens and her guests explore one of the most famous speeches in literature, its transformation into opera, and why Hamlet's brooding soliloquy continues to intrigue artists and audiences four centuries later. Tenor Allan Clayton created the role of Hamlet in Brett Dean's opera at the Glyndebourne Festival in 2017. Dean wrote this vocally and dramatically challenging part specifically for Clayton: he would have him read monologues from Shakespeare's original in order to get a sense of his voice and once even emailed him changes during an intermission. Opera dramaturg Cori Ellison worked closely with composer Brett Dean and librettist Matthew Jocelyn throughout the development of Hamlet. She has been the staff dramaturg at the Glyndebourne Festival since 2012, where Hamlet premiered, and has worked with opera companies around the world. Actor and director Samuel West has worked across theater, film, television, and radio, but he was obsessed with Shakespeare's Hamlet. He starred as the Danish prince (whom he describes as “a floppy-shirted noodle”) for one year and three days with the Royal Shakespeare Company. But who's counting?! Jeffrey R. Wilson is a faculty member in the Writing Program at Harvard, where he teaches a course called “Why Shakespeare?” He feels that Shakespeare is still so popular because of the deep and varied problems his plays present: textual, theatrical, thematic, and ethical problems. He is the author of three books, including Shakespeare and Trump and Shakespeare and Game of Thrones.

YolanDa Brown catches up with Brett Dean to find out what it means to be a Composer in Residence at an orchestra like the LPO, and how you tackle the daunting task of writing for so many instruments. She also talks to bass player Sebastian Pennar, who has been collaborating with Brett to discover all the sonic possibilities of the double bass (including using a rubber ball on a stick…).

Soprano Tony Arnold joins us to chat about hopping careers from orchestral conductor to international superstar vocalist, her varied interests in how sound is made and how to harness sound to make it into something else, and the way her interests have helped in collaborations with all sorts of instrumentalists and in teaching composers how to help performers lift music off the page . We speak about how she developed the working knowledge necessary to decipher contemporary scores, the close connection between chamber music and contemporary music, and learning how to fit into the deeply intimate and idiomatic language of a string quartet with a long history that no longer required verbal communication. She shares about how her connection to George Crumb deepened on a trip to Charleston, WV and how community- and network-building play in forming long-lasting professional connections. We discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the impact of digitization on the shaping of the musical world and the importance of separating music-making from money-making as best as one can. Celebrated as a “luminary in the world of chamber music and art song” (Huffington Post), Tony Arnold is internationally acclaimed as a leading proponent of contemporary music in concert and recording, a “convincing, mesmerizing soprano” (Los Angeles Times) who “has a broader gift for conveying the poetry and nuance behind outwardly daunting contemporary scores” (Boston Globe). Her unique blend of vocal virtuosity and communicative warmth, combined with wide-ranging skills in education and leadership were recognized with the 2015 Brandeis Creative Arts Award, given in appreciation of “excellence in the arts and the lives and works of distinguished, active American artists.” Ms. Arnold's extensive chamber music repertory includes major works written for her voice by Georges Aperghis, George Crumb, Brett Dean, Jason Eckardt, Gabriela Lena Frank, Josh Levine, George Lewis, Philippe Manoury, Carlos Sanchez-Gutierrez, Christopher Theofanidis, Ricardo Zohn-Muldoon, and numerous others. She is a member of the intrepid International Contemporary Ensemble, and enjoys regular guest appearances with leading ensembles, presenters and festivals worldwide. With more than thirty discs to her credit, Ms. Arnold has recorded a broad segment of the modern vocal repertory with esteemed chamber music colleagues. Her recording of George Crumb's iconic Ancient Voices of Children (Bridge) received a 2006 Grammy nomination. She is a first-prize laureate of both the Gaudeamus International and the Louise D. McMahon competitions. A graduate of Oberlin College and Northwestern University, Ms. Arnold was twice a fellow of the Aspen Music Festival as both a conductor and singer. She was the 2015-16 Kunkemueller Artist-In-Residence at the Boston Conservatory, and currently serves on the faculty of the Peabody Conservatory and the Tanglewood Music Center.

Mike Jeffers and special guests Wayne Powers and Brett Dean from the Shout Section Big Band. About Wayne Powers Wayne started out as a “boy singer” in New York nightclubs at age 16.  “I wasn’t very good,” he freely admits, “but you’ve gotta start someplace – and I grew up with this music inside me – in my heart and soul – and treasure it enough to gladly do whatever it takes for me to live inside the music.  You see, when I was growing up we couldn’t afford a piano (and we had no room for one, anyway). so I just learned to play the human voice.”   Persistence paid off as Powers eventually studied in New York with renowned  vocal coach of the day, Fred Steele, mentor to Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme, Eddie Fisher and widely credited with helping restore Tony Bennett’s voice.  Wayne continued to hone his craft,  performing in stage musicals, reviews and in nightclubs after relocating to the Midwest – and eventually, the West Coast.   After arriving in L.A., Wayne landed a job with Henry Mancini and, soon after, fulfilled another dream by establishing his network TV career.  But Powers was still pulled to return to his roots, augmenting his comedy and acting work by putting together his “Hoi Polloi,” band with a uniquely joyous sound that dazzled audiences in some of the top west coast nightclubs, showrooms and jazz festivals.   The sound was reminiscent of Louis Prima, “Fats” Waller, Louis Armstrong and others who were among Wayne’s major musical influences in creating this unique band.  They released one CD, “Plain Old Me.”

Generator enclosures are evolving as the industry demands bigger, better, and more generator sets. In this episode of Building a Better Bond with Fibrebond, host Daniel Litwin sat down with Brett Dean, business unit director for Fibrebond, to break down the growth of genset solutions, why emergency and back-up generators are evolving, and how enclosure designs are evolving alongside them. Because data centers must have a continuous source of power, they rely on backup generators or generator sets when its primary power source goes down. But gensets are evolving as the high demand for data centers continues to skyrocket. “In the early 2000s, there were co-location providers. But now these large cloud service providers are the ones that I don’t think the market could have forecasted what their demand was going to be,” Dean said. As such, generator sets in the past decade have increased in size, fuel tank capacities, and unit quantities. Plus, there’s the demand for lower sound ratings with all these bigger, better but louder generators. But just as urgently as data centers must be up and running, so must gensets and their ensuing enclosures. That’s why the demand for modular prefab units is so intrinsically tied to growth in the data center market, Dean explained. “Even though the generator itself is in creating in its kilowatt output, the end user may still have a physical footprint restriction so you have to be innovative in how you are arranging items within the enclosure,” he said. To meet these design requirements, Fibrebond has created innovative quality control processes to ensure client’s enclosure needs are met. “At Fibrebond, we’re providing the shelter, fuel tank base, and any integration needed on that generator to make it as reliable as they desire,” Dean said.
