“Seventeen was that age when we were realizing… we have to do something about this.” That poignant reflection echoes the emotional heart of SEVENTEEN, a powerful narrative work for orchestra created in response to the tragic 2018 high school shooting in Parkland, Florida—an event that claimed the lives of seventeen students. Composer Ron Ramin was moved to begin work on this piece soon after, eventually collaborating with librettist Portia Kamons, and later joined by Jamie Bernstein. Together, they crafted a deeply human and artistically compelling response to an American tragedy.In this two-part conversation, I sit down with Portia and Ron to talk about the creation of SEVENTEEN and the many layers involved in bringing it to life.In Part 1, we begin with an overview of the piece itself, followed by a deeper dive into each of its four movements. Portia shares how the libretto was built from the actual words of young people, giving voice to a generation affected by gun violence. We also discuss how Ron and Portia came together to write the piece, the collaborative process behind their work, and how their shared vision took shape. We wrap up the first half of our conversation with the story of how the premiere performance came about, thanks to the support of the Orlando Philharmonic and its music director, Eric Jacobsen.[Subscriber Content] Part 2 opens with a look at the practical challenges behind producing a project of this magnitude, especially the complexities of securing funding. This leads to a conversation about future performance opportunities and what lies ahead for SEVENTEEN. From there, we step back to learn more about Portia and Ron's individual careers, and I pose a classic creative question: do artists need to feel inspired to do meaningful work, or can the work happen without inspiration? Their answers are thoughtful and revealing. And finally, we close with a broader reflection as I ask both of them how hopeful they feel about the future.This episode offers a moving and thoughtful exploration of how art can respond to tragedy—and how music can become a powerful form of activism, remembrance, and healing.DoricoProfessional music notation and composition software from Steinberg.

Ron Ramin was born and raised in New York City. He earned his undergraduate degree at Princeton University, where he majored in music and studied privately with composer Milton Babbitt. Upon graduation, he moved to Los Angeles where he composed music for 20 Primetime television series and 30 movies/telefilms. Ron is the recipient of a CableACE Award, a Primetime EMMY nomination, and TV/Film Awards from BMI and ASCAP. In recent years he has shifted his focus to composing for the concert hall. This includes "Golden State of Mind," a symphonic suite depicting the beauty & drama of the California landscape and its cultural diversity. “Greetings!" was given its world premiere performance in 2016 by the Marin Symphony, conducted by Music Director Alasdair Neale. His latest work, SEVENTEEN, is a narrative work for orchestra and six on-stage Gen Z narrators. Days after the 2018 mass school shooting in Parkland, Florida, librettist Portia Kamons and Ron began to work on an artistic response to the relentless plague of gun violence in American schools and communities. Their attention soon focused on the rising generation of young people channeling their grief and anger into deliberate and effective action. They were bringing extraordinary commitment, determination, and energy to multiple challenges of their time. Ron & Portia were also determined to bring classical music audiences together with young people for an orchestral performance and thoughtful discussion. From the beginning they committed to employ verbatim text from the young Americans themselves. SEVENTEEN is their story, told in their own words. The Orlando Philharmonic commissioned it and gave the premiere performance Nov 8, 2024. Eric Jacobsen, their innovative music director, conducted the performance and Jamie Bernstein directed the six young on-stage narrators. The orchestra, to its credit, made this a free community event that included a thoughtful discussion and Q&A following the performance. A former Board member of the Society of Composers and Lyricists, Ron currently resides in Northern California and New York City.   Portia Kamons is a producer and librettist working with newly commissioned pieces in theatre, live events, music and feature film. With composer Ron Ramin, she is the co-creator and librettist for SEVENTEEN, a narrative work for Orchestra that received its world premiere by the Orlando Philharmonic on 8 November 2024. She was the Executive Producer for Virtua Creative on the US WW1 Centennial Commemoration narrated by Kevin Costner, as well as Exec Producer for "Visions of Peace" a special project for the WW1 Centennial with President Jimmy Carter. Portia was the lead producer of Tennyson Bardwell's feature film DORIAN BLUES which won 14 awards at festivals worldwide. She was a founding member and the first General Manager of Primary Stages Theatre in New York City, and a Producer for the NextWave Festival at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. For many years she worked for as a producer with En Garde Arts in New York City, and the London International Festival of Theatre in the UK where she lives. She is a regular consultant to Danish web-based documentary platform, OTHER STORY.     website: www.seventeeninamerica.com Instagram: @seventeen_in_america  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61561439852395 email: hello@seventeeninamerica.com Make sure you SUBSCRIBE to Crushing Classical, and maybe even leave a nice review!  Thanks for joining me on Crushing Classical!  Theme music by DreamVance.

Coincidentally, long-time friends Aoife O'Donovan and Dawn Landes both have new albums with strong feminist themes, so I (Cindy) wanted to interview them together and talk about WOMEN. Aoife's album, All My Friends, is specifically centered around Carrie Chapman Catt, a prominent leader in the Suffragist Movement, and her work in the fight for the 19th Amendment. Inspired by speeches and letters, one song, War Measure, is even based on a letter of support from Woodrow Wilson to Chapman Catt. This album also marks the biggest project Aoife worked on with her husband Eric Jacobsen, who conducts the Orlando Philharmonic and the Virginia Symphony Orchestra. It's also the first record she's released since becoming a mother. Of her Daughters song she says she sings "as a modern woman, not wanting to leave the fight to the daughters of our daughters."Dawn Landes, also a mother, has a more broad focus with her new album The Liberated Woman's Songbook. The album features songs from the 1971 songbook of the same title to inspire second wave feminists' women's liberation movement and modern feminism of the 1970's. The songs on Dawn's album span from 1830 (Hard is the Fortune of All Womankind) to 1970 (There Was a Young Woman Who Swallowed a Lie as well as Liberation, Now!) showcasing how women of the past expressed political activism in the struggle for gender equality.Both Aoife and Dawn released their albums during Women's History Month, which leads to a discussion of what that means to each of them. We also talk about what is on their protest signs at the march, the Taylor Swift movie, gender stereotypes and, of course, all the waves of feminism. When thinking about the 19th amendment, we acknowledge that this only allowed WHITE women to vote. That leads to talk of how suffragists and feminist protest songwriters, like Meredith Tax, contributed to and gleaned inspiration from the civil rights movement. Aoife and Dawn are legends! We start with what their internal dialogue was like at first when undertaking these ambitious and important projects and end with Aoife putting Barbie on blast. All and all, this one's a winner. Follow Basic Folk on social media: https://basicfolk.bio.link/ Sign up for Basic Folk's newsletter: https://bit.ly/basicfolknews Help produce Basic Folk by contributing: https://basicfolk.com/donate/ Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Proust-översättaren Gunnel Vallquist längtade efter ensamheten, men behövde också sällskap. Erik Lindman Mata hittar en parallell till Petrarcas försök att skapa en tillflyktsort för likasinnade. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Kanske borde jag ha blivit eremit i gammal rejäl mening, säger författaren och översättaren Gunnel Vallquist i en radiobrevväxling i Sveriges Radio 1968. Dragningen till den religiösa strängheten hade följt henne genom hela livet. Samma sak gällde den avskildhet och tystnad som var lika nödvändig som den var svår. Men hon blev aldrig någon riktig eremit. I stället, konstaterade hon i samma radiosamtal, valde hon kompromissen att leva med en fot i ensamheten och en i gemenskapen.Den här kompromissen är svaret på ett ständigt dilemma, det att vilja vara ifred och att ändå behöva sällskap. Man vill vara sin egen, men inser också, att man alltid redan delar sitt liv med andra. Och frågan är, på vilket vis man bör dela just sitt liv, det vill säga, vilket sätt att dela livet som passar ens lynne. För Vallquist är ensamheten, som står i kontrast till det hon kallar småprat och sysslande med bagateller, ibland smärtsam. Men den är samtidigt en förutsättning för verklig gemenskap. För henne var det just i ensamhet som vänskapen till andra människor kunde få utrymme att växa. Men det här växandet krävde också en rörelse in i och ut ur ensamheten. Ensamheten i sig själv var inte tillräcklig.En historisk parallell till denna dubbla tillvaro, som rymde både ensamhet och gemenskap, finns hos den italienske poeten och historikern Petrarca. När digerdöden härjade som värst i Europa, försökte han skapa sig en liten tillflyktsort i närheten av Avignon, i sydöstra Frankrike. Där, i byn Vaucluse, vars namn betyder just stängd dal, ville han dock göra mer än att bara skydda sig från smittan. Denna by, belägen precis vid foten av de franska alperna, skulle också bli platsen för en gemenskap, skriver han till sina vänner, där var och en som bor förblir sin egen. Han ville skapa en ensam gemenskap, som skulle ge utrymme för intellektuellt utbyte och kontemplation, utan att för den sakens skull pådyvla invånarna några onödiga sociala bördor.När Vallquist påbörjade det som skulle komma att bli hennes livsverk översättningen av Marcel Prousts romansvit På spaning efter den tid som flytt hade hon precis flyttat ned till Frankrike. Hon ville fördjupa sig i såväl den franska som den katolska kulturen och bosatte sig, efter en ungdomligt hektisk tid i Paris, i ett pensionat bredvid klostret Fleury i staden Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire söder om Paris. Här befinner hon sig plötsligt i en variant av Petrarcas Vaucluse.Pensionatet hon kommer till drivs av lekmannabenediktiner: kvinnor som följer de flesta av klosterlivets regler, men som inte själva bär någon ordensdräkt och inte får lov att bo i klostret. Där bor enbart munkar. Vallquist har ett eget rum, med kamin och utsikt över klosterkyrkan. Hon deltar, tillsammans med de andra kvinnorna, i tre av de gemensamma gudstjänsterna: morgonlovsången, laudes, klockan 06:10, därefter mässan, klockan 07:00, och så aftonlovsången, vesper, vid 18:00.I övrigt har hon inte mycket kontakt med munkarna och inget tillträde till själva klostret. Hon får i viss mån ta del av dess liv, men får alltså inte bo i klostrets religiösa hjärta, utan blir varje dag tvungen att återvända till det värdsligas sfär. Hon får ensamheten, men snuddar bara vid gemenskapen.När hon senare flyttar tillbaka till Sverige vill hon själv skapa förutsättningar för det dubbla liv av ensamhet och gemenskap, som hon bara hade fått ana i Frankrike. Hon bestämmer sig för att ta saken i egna händer. Hon beger sig till Rimbo, öster om Uppsala, för att grunda en liten bygemenskap för ogifta, troende kvinnor. Där ska alla ha sitt eget hus, leva sitt eget liv och vara helt självständiga men det ska ske i omedelbar närhet till andra likasinnade. Det är många som uttrycker intresse, men i slutändan blir det bara tre hus: ett åt Vallquist, ett åt hennes tidigare Proustredaktör Eva Alexandersson, och ett åt en utomstående kvinna.Likheterna mellan Petrarcas och Vallquists idealgemenskaper är faktiskt slående. Båda utgick från klostrens samlevnad, men placerade den i ett lekmannasammanhang. Man ville uppleva klostrets andakt, utan att nödvändigtvis hänge sig åt dess organisation. Målet var, som den dansk-amerikanske historikern Brian Patrick McGuire formulerar det i sin essä om Petrarcas Vaucluse, att befolka ensamheten.Men det finns en aspekt i Vallquists klosterinspirerade ensamhet, som på ett avgörande sätt skiljer sig från Petrarcas. För där han ville kringskära klosterorganisationen på grund av de mödor den skulle medföra, så var Vallquists vision för Rimbo inte en konsekvens av lathet. Ensamhetens mödor som innefattar alltifrån tvivel och nedstämdhet, till behovet att själv utforma sin ordning och sitt arbete var för Vallquist någonting gott och nödvändigt. Det hon strävade efter var den gemenskap som hade föregått klostrens utveckling mot organisering och strikthet. Hon riktade sitt intresse mot de allra tidigaste kristna eremiterna.Men vad var det hon såg där? Vad var det hon ville åt, som inte fanns kvar bland dagens munkar?Ett möjligt svar hittar vi i en föreläsning som den franske filosofen Roland Barthes håller på Collège de France bara några år efter att Vallquist flyttat tillbaka till Sverige för att bosätta sig i Rimbo. I sitt föredrag Hur leva tillsammans, beskriver han hur de tidigaste munkarna utformade sina liv efter sina varierade behov av ensamhet och gemenskap. Man delade sitt liv med andra som sökte Gud, man åt och bad gemensamt men kunde när man helst ville dra sig tillbaka till sitt eget. Han kallar denna tillvaro för idiorrytm, ett grekiskt ord som möjligen skulle kunna översättas med den egna rytmen. Denna rytm försvann när klostrens organisation stelnade och centraliserades.Det Barthes försökte visa var, att om man verkligen vill ha fötterna både i ensamheten och i gemenskapen, då måste man dansa lite. Man måste röra sig, fram och tillbaka, mellan det egna och det sociala. Också för Vallquist var en sådan rörelse oundgänglig. Det enda sättet att nå fram till att kunna vara både för sig själv och i gemenskap, var nämligen att ta spjärn först mot det ena, sedan mot det andra. För att kunna komma verkligt nära andra, menar Vallquist, behöver man också ensamheten. Det som kan uppstå i en sådan pendelrörelse är förhoppningsvis en ny sorts lugn. En ledighet, skulle man kunna säga.Så kanske är det inte, som Vallquist sade, rejäla eremiter vi bör bli. Kanske bör vi bara hitta ett sätt att komma nära våra medmänniskor, lite då och då. Vi drar oss tillbaka ibland, kommer fram ur gömslet ibland. Allt enligt den rytm som råkar uppstå, ens egen.Erik Lindman Mata, författare, översättare och kritikerLitteratur:Alva Dahl, Slå rot i förvandlingen.

Stained glass, digital photos, or a pile of rocks. Today, we join the co-hosts of the Embedded Church podcast and talk about how the church builds memories. It's a podcast inside a podcast. Memories help people establish identities and build communities, and physical places are fertile ground where memories take root. But are new digital spaces uprooting our memories, or giving them new soil to grow in?  As Christians, God consistently calls us to remember all that he has done and the ways he has been faithful. How can we root our memories in physical places and digital spaces, and cultivate the benefits of both?  We asked our friends Eric Jacobsen and Sara Joy Proppe, the co-hosts of the Embedded Church podcast, to help us sort this out. Call it a podcast playdate. What does memory look like in digital and built spaces?  How do these spaces shape the capacity, and content, of our memory? Hear stories of churches that have established creative practices that both embrace lament and celebrate God's healing. If your church wants to build memory and community through digital and physical spaces, check out this episode! LINKS Learn more about the Embedded Church podcast on their website and on Instagram.

The Knights — The Kreutzer Project (Avie) Jump to giveaway form New Classical Tracks - The Knights by “Aren't we all obsessed with time travel? Aren't we all wanting to have dinner with that person that's not alive anymore,” conductor of the Knights, Eric Jacobsen, asked when he fired up the time machine for their newest album, The Kreutzer Project. With his brother, violinist and composer Colin Jacobsen, they explore time-traveling dialogues between Beethoven in 1803, Leo Tolstoy in 1889, Leos Janacek in 1923 and most recently, Anna Clyne and Colin Jacobsen with their 21st-century pieces. What idea launched this project? Eric: “There were a couple of things that got this going. I can't remember if the Beethoven violin and piano sonata was the first thing that we said, ‘Oh, my gosh, this can be a concerto,' or if we looked at the Janacek String Quartet and said, ‘Wow, this could absolutely have a harp, snare drum and woodwinds.' We thought of all the works at the same time.” Is it true that Beethoven's sonatas are infamous for being hard on both the pianist and violinist? Colin: “The issue in this version is it's a violin concerto, but the orchestra is playing the piano part, which is incredibly virtuosic. It's really a concerto grosso grosso because everyone has to pull their weight with the virtuosic lines.” Eric: “When someone listens to this and doesn't know that it was arranged and made today, I think one would probably assume that it was made during Beethoven's life because it fits that time period. We know that he didn't make this arrangement, but it almost feels like it could be. It is from a composer who only wrote one violin concerto. I feel like this is an incredible complement to that piece.” Tell us about the expanded version of Leos Janacek's String Quartet. Colin: “A lot of Janacek's music has a sense of beauty that is thwarted or interrupted. You can hear that in the very opening. There's this gorgeous yearning chorale and it contains the primary motif of the whole piece then immediately you get interruptions from different voices. I think this is part of the emotion from the Tolstoy novella, which is a yearning for something that gets thwarted all the time.” Watch now To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

Un 4 de agosto de 2006 en Boston, el violoncellista Yo-Yo Ma estrena Blue una obra concertante para chelo y orquesta de Osvaldo Golijov. Golijov emblemático compositor de origen argentino, integra en sus obras diversas influencias en una visión fresca que resuena en el público contemporáneo. Nacido en 1960 en La Plata, Argentina, de inmigrantes judíos de Europa del Este, Golijov llegó a la mayoría de edad absorbiendo estilos y modismos que encontraba naturalmente en la tradición clásica del Viejo Mundo escuchando conciertos de música de cámara en casa, canto de sinagoga, klezmer en yiddish y las innovaciones del maestro de tango Astor Piazzolla, y música folklórica latinoamericana. Después de algunos años de estudio en Israel, Golijov se estableció en Estados Unidos en 1986, donde continua ampliando su paleta estilística a través de estrechas colaboraciones con intérpretes cuyas aportes juegan un papel importante en su proceso creativo. Blue o Azul no sigue un programa específico, fusiona diversas fuentes de inspiración: a las impresiones del compositor sobre el arte de los solistas para los que compuso originalmente el concierto, se le suman también los paisajes intemporales descritos por Neruda, el anhelo de paz, las imágenes de la tierra desde una gran distancia y -más técnicamente- los modelos musicales de la época barroca. A continuación escucharemos Transit, tercera parte de la obra Blue interpretada por Yo-yo Ma junto a Eric Jacobsen y Los Caballeros.

Nico Muhly's Stranger, premiered in 2020, gives its name to a new album from Avie featuring the tenor Nicholas Phan. The album also includes two earlier works, Muhly's Lorne ys my likinge, written as a companion piece to Benjamin Britten's Abraham and Isaac and similarly scored for countertenor, tenor and piano (for which Phan is joined by countertenor Reginald Mobley and pianist Lisa Kaplan), and Impossible Things, setting poems by CP Cavafy, and featuring a solo violin and ensemble: on the new recording, The Knights, conducted by Eric Jacobsen with Colin Jacobsen taking the solo violin role.  James Jolly caught up by video call with Nicholas Phan in San Francisco and Nico Muhly in New York to talk about the album, and how Stranger came into being.

Loneliness has been a major topic of conversation in recent years.  What is the antidote for loneliness?  Dr. Eric Jacobsen wrote a book recently on this very topic, entitled "Three Pieces of Glass."   We discuss what it looks like to cultivate belonging, not only on an individual level but also on a societal level.  Eric is passionate about reframing and restructuring the built environment, and believes that much of the loneliness we experience is not just a result of individual choices, but also due to choices we have made as a society.   Enjoy this conversation. We hope it inspires you to cultivate belonging in your own environment.  

In this episode, we talk to world famous conductor, Eric Jacobsen.

Synopsis On today's date in 2006, at the open-air Tanglewood Festival in the Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts, the Boston Symphony and cellist Yo-Yo Ma premiered a new cello concerto, entitled “Azul”–“blue” in Spanish–written by Osvaldo Golijov.Golijov was born and grew up in Argentina, but his background–like his music–is very cosmopolitan: his parents were Romanian Jews who immigrated to Argentina, and when he was 23, Golijov himself immigrated to Israel. Three years later, he came to the U.S. to study with the American composer George Crumb at the University of Pennsylvania, and then settled in Massachusetts.At first, Golijov imagined “Azul” as evoking his own experiences of hearing bucolic summertime Tanglewood concerts under a canopy of blue sky. But after its premiere, Golijov had second thoughts, and by the time Yo-Yo Ma finally recorded the work some 10 years later, Golijov had revised his concerto.  Golijov said wanted to “earn” its blissful opening mood through a journey backwards through musical time and space, and the revised score backs up the cello with a neo-Baroque continuo comprised of a hyper-accordion (souped up with digital processing) and a battery of exotic percussion instruments like a wind whistle and goat hoof rattle.

The Brooklyn-based orchestral collective known as The Knights began as an informal gathering of friends to play late night chamber music. Founded by brothers Colin and Eric Jacobsen, the Knights have grown into a variable ensemble that brings the element of surprise back into orchestral concerts. Sometimes that's in the way they present the music, and sometimes it's in the music itself, like their collaboration with composer Andy Akiho. Andy's main instrument in the steel pan, something usually associated with calypso music and almost nothing else. Members of the Knights present a new recording of an Akiho septet, and they'll also play live in-studio. (From the Archives, 2017.)

Dwight Davis speaks with noted American conductor and cellist, Eric Jacobsen, who will step into the role of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra's new Music Director beginning July 1.

Violinist Gil Shaham has just released his cd of the Beethoven and Brahms concertos with the Knights and Eric Jacobsen. Gil describes the relationship of Joseph Joachim to Brahms and Beethoven, talks about the tempo and the metronome that heps in getting a fresh spirit into the Beethoven, working with the Knights, the cover art and notes, the Pittsburgh Symphony, Mariss Jansons, the pandemic, being quarantined in London and much more even getting the instrument out of the case to play some examples.

Violinist Gil Shaham teams up with the cellist and conductor of the Knights, Eric Jacobsen, to forge a friendship through their new album, Beethoven, Brahms: Violin Concertos.

This week’s Interplay is a Conversation in Music with a miraculous musician, Eric Jacobsen. Founder with his brother Colin of The Knights, music director of symphonies in Bridgeport and Orlando, and a superb cellist, everything Eric touches sounds fresh and new. I first heard Eric conduct a Brahms orchestral work, and it sounded as if it was the premiere. Eric’s musicianship is exemplary and totally natural, like the man. I know you will enjoy our talk as much as I did. Cannot wait to attend another concert with Eric Jacobsen conducting. www.michaelshapiro.com www.jacobseneric.com

“Choosing screens over people.” It’s a phrase we hear often these days in relation to smartphones and other digital devices. But, as Eric O. Jacobsen describes in his new book, Three Pieces of Glass: Why We Feel Lonely in a World Mediated by Screens, we started choosing screens—or, more precisely, windshields—decades before the smartphone. Prior to the rise of car culture, we could expect to regularly interact with friends, neighbors, and strangers as we made our way through cities developed with walkability and multimodal transportation in mind. Especially since World War II, we still encounter those folks...but many of those encounters are “mediated by the automobile windshield.” Not only did car culture change how we build cities, it changed how (and how often) we encounter other people: “When we encounter someone [as a driver],” writes Jacobsen, “we don’t encounter another human being with whom we might connect. We as a driver meeting another driver encounter a competitor—a competitor for lane space and parking spaces.” Eric Jacobsen returns to The Strong Towns Podcast to talk about his new book, car culture, and the impact screens are having on our cities and communities. Jacobsen is senior pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Tacoma, Washington. He’s also the co-host (with our friend Sara Joy Proppe) of The Embedded Church, a podcast about churches in walkable neighborhoods. A member of the Congress for the New Urbanism, Jacobsen is also the author of the books The Space Between Us and Sidewalks in the Kingdom, as well as numerous articles that explore the connections between the Christian faith, local community, and the built environment. In this episode, Jacobsen talks with Strong Towns president Chuck Marohn about how car culture has “exploded” our sense of space, fragmented communities, and weakened public and civic interactions. They discuss why conscious, rational thought and great ideas don’t shape daily decision-making as much as we’d like to imagine. They also talk about what Jane Jacobs can teach us about complexity and humility, why our sense of self can’t be understood apart from the context of community, and why starting a car is a “secular liturgy.” Additional Show Notes Three Pieces of Glass: Why We Feel Lonely in a World Mediated by Screens, by Eric O.

It’s been a banner year for great books, and the Spin Crew has chosen yet another winner! This time, Carl and Todd sit down with Eric Jacobsen, senior pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Tacoma, WI, and author of Three Pieces of Glass: Why We Feel Lonely in a World Mediated by Screens. What are the pieces of glass Eric refers to, and how have they changed our world?  Just a few years ago, we were excited about the advances in technology, which promised to bring people together from the four corners of the world. Technology has accomplished that, in a way, but it has also exacerbated loneliness, isolation, and alienation. Listen and discover the relationship between the three pieces of glass, the church, and the sense of “belonging”.  We’re excited to give away copies of Three Pieces of Glass. Register for the opportunity to win one. The books are a complimentary gift from Brazos Press.

“She loved the interaction of what a conversation is, and that's what chamber music is — it's talking to people with your instruments.” In this episode, conductor and cellist Eric Jacobsen talks about Franz Schubert's Piano Trio No. 1. It was his mother's favorite piece, and 25 years after her death it still reminds him of the love for music and other human beings she passed on to him — both of which come together in the ongoing conversation of chamber music.

On today's HR podcast, Heather R. Younger, podcast host, speaks with Eric Jacobsen, SVP of Operations for Extraction Oil in Gas, a publicly traded oil and gas company our of Colorado. Heather speaks to Eric about why he chooses to lead, a time when he was not proud of himself as a leader and how he changed that at about the many ways he connects with his team. They also talked about maintaining the proper focus on what is important as a leader and some key ways to reach across the table and collaborate to produce a larger team focus. As the discussion continues, we also learn how sports of extracurricular activities can form us as leaders and expand our view. The most important takeaway was in Eric’s description of how he emulated many of the greatest leaders he worked with to become the leader he is today.

Works for flute and harp and for voice and chamber ensemble performed by flutists Paula Robison and Sooyun Kim, clarinetist Alexis Lanz, violinist David Fulmer, cellist Eric Jacobsen, harpist Mariko Anraku, and pianist Steven Beck.Debussy: Chansons de Bilitis (arr. Paula Robison)Schoenberg: Pierrot Lunaire, Op. 21 Flutist Paula Robison is undoubtedly one of the Gardner Museum’s greatest champions and favorite guests. On this podcast, we’ll hear two of her Gardner performances. Chansons de Bilitis had many lives within Debussy’s own oeuvre: first as a cycle of three songs; then as incidental music for narrator, harps, flutes, and celeste; and finally, rearranged for two pianists. That music, in turn, was arranged for orchestra and—now—flute and harp. It seems a fitting instrumentation—languid and sensual, and also evocative of the poems, which mention the mythical flutist Pan. Ms. Robison puts down the flute for a special performance as the speaker in Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire. The technique of Sprechstimme had been used in German musical theatre before, but it truly came to life in this work. Rather than vocalizing on pitch, the narrator recites poetry in a semi-song, following Schoenberg’s melodic contours and rhythms to produce a sort of heightened, dramatic speech. One of the piece’s other great legacies is its distinctive five-instrument ensemble, a configuration that would come to be known as the “Pierrot Ensemble,” and which has been employed by a variety of 20th century composers.
