Podcast appearances and mentions of leila josefowicz

- Aby dotrzeć do słuchaczy potrzebne jest specjalne wykonanie. Utwór nie może być po prostu zagrany. Musi być wykonany z przekonaniem, troską i pewnością siebie, z pełną ekspresją i pomysłem. To dla mnie niecodzienne, jak komunikatywne, jak emocjonalne i jak głębokie mogą być nasze wrażenia, nasze uczucia płynące z muzyki - mówiła w Dwójce znakomita skrzypaczka Leila Josefowicz. 

*In English Language* Das Herz der Geigerin schlägt für die zeitgenössische Musik. Im Podcast spricht sie über den Komponisten und langjährigen Freund John Adams und das Stück, das er kürzlich für sie geschrieben hat.  Auf die Frage, wann sie eigentlich zuletzt ein Stück von Beethoven oder Mendelssohn gespielt hat, antwortet die gesprächige Geigerin: »Vermutlich seit meinen Zwanzigern nicht mehr«. Denn Leila Josefowicz spielt am liebsten Musik aus dem 20. und 21. Jahrhundert. Sie hat zahlreiche Violinkonzerte uraufgeführt, darunter Werke von Colin Matthews, Luca Francesconi, John Adams, Oliver Knussen und Esa-Pekka Salonen, die allesamt für sie geschrieben wurden. Im Elbphilharmonie Talk spricht sie über das Stück »Scheherazade.2«, das John Adams ihr widmete und das sie im Februar 2023 im Rahmen des Festivals »Elbphilharmonie Visions« gespielt hat. Außerdem verrät sie, warum die Musikwelt sie manchmal an die Welt der Hedgefonds erinnert, wie sie zur zeitgenössischen Musik gefunden hat und warum sie es hasst, ihre eigenen Aufnahmen zu hören. 

American composer and conductor John Adams, who leads the 75th Ojai Music Festival, has been an influence for many artists and composers, including several of our 2021 collaborators.  The second episode invites pianists Vicki Ray and Joanne Pearce Martin, composer Dylan Mattingly, and chairman emeritus and longtime president of Nonesuch Records Robert Hurwitz to discuss their personal connections with John Adams.   SHOW NOTES / CREDITS:  Thomas Kotcheff, host  Thomas Kotcheff, producer  Louis Ng, recording engineer   OJAICast theme by Thomas Kotcheff and Louis Weeks   Music used in this episode:  John Adams - Hallelujah Junction performed by Nicolas Hodges and Rolf Hind   John Adams - Road Movies: III. 40% Swing performed by Leila Josefowicz and John Novacek   Dylan Mattingly - Magnolia performed by ZOFO duet (Eva-Maria Zimmermann and Keisuke Nakagoshi)    John Adams - The Dharma at Big Sur, Pt.

Photo credit: Tom Zimberoff Ahead of this weekend's Tectonic's festival in Glasgow, Kate Molleson meets the pioneering electronic music composer at the centre of this year's programme, Janet Beat, and learns how the studios she inaugurated at universities in Birmingham and Glasgow – from the late 1950s – blazed trails for future generations. Following a performance of Matthias Pintscher's La Linea Evocativa at Wigmore Hall earlier this week, presenter Tom Service speaks to the American-Canadian violinist Leila Josefowicz about her life making music on the concert stage, her role championing contemporary repertoire for the instrument, and the inspiration she finds in Bach's mighty Chaconne. The composer Hannah Peel and conductor Charles Hazlewood join Tom to discuss their new album, The Unfolding. Written during lockdown especially for the Paraorchestra, the album has shot to number one in the classical music charts, and we hear from the musicians in the ensemble, Hattie McCall-Davies and Lloyd Coleman, as they tour with live performances of the project this spring. And, the composer Michael Zev Gordon tells Tom about his new chamber opera, Raising Icarus, which explores the harm parental expectations and aspirations can have on their children. It's staged by the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group this week.

I'm very exciting to have international violin soloist Leila Josefowicz on the show for the second time. Leila shares incredible wisdom in our conversation, including: Her outlook for how things are going to be like in the coming months How her recent incredible project at The Metropolitan Museum of Art unfolded, from where it originated to the vision coming to reality The significance of her performing Bach, and how she sees Bach as the music of infinite possibilities What she calls the performance headspace Thoughts about performance preparation and performance anxiety What having fun in performance means to her And many other wonderful musings !   This discussion is a window on the way artists like Leila approach a project - the power of the intention and the thoughtfulness they put behind each decision. How each aspect is carefully evaluated, weighed, and curated, and very angle crafted with care and love.   Partita   for Leila Josefowicz   Unseen in the field a sapling trembled naked.

A conversation with Leila Josefowicz

Do 10. ure lahko v Glasbeni jutranjici poslušate glasbo po izboru Tine Ogrin. Tik zatem, pet čez deseto, bo na vrsti druga iz niza petih oddaj cikla Skladatelj tedna, ki je tokrat posvečen Edvardu Griegu. Grieg je po študiju glasbe v Leipzigu svoj skladateljski slog sprva gradil na trdnih temeljih nemške romantike, vendar je kmalu – ob prebujanju svoje nacionalne zavesti – začutil potrebo po ustvarjanju glasbenega zvoka, v katerem se bodo kazale vse značilnosti norveške pokrajine, njenih ljudi in navad. Osrednje glasbeno delo današnje oddaje, ki jo je pripravila Suzana Vidas Karoli, bo Griegov Klavirski koncert, delo, polno brezmejne lirike, pri katerem si ob poslušanju z lahkoto pričaramo slikovito skandinavsko pokrajino. Ob 16. uri in 30 minut vas vabimo k spremljanju oddaje Koncertni dogodki na tujem, ki jo glasbena urednica Polona Kovačič tokrat posveča posnetkom Češkega radia. Ena glavnih zvezd lanske koncertne sezone Simfoničnega orkestra Praškega radia je bila ameriška violinistka Leila Josefowicz, ki je izvedla sloviti Violinski koncert Albana Berga. Skladatelj je svoje zadnje dokončano delo posvetil spominu na angela, Manon Gropius, pri osemnajstih letih umrlo hčerko Alme Mahler in Walterja Gropiusa. Slišali boste lahko tudi uverturo k operi Zlomljeni vrč Bergovega mlajšega sodobnika Viktorja Ullmanna, v sklepnem delu oddaje pa še Prvo simfonijo Johannesa Brahmsa, ki jo dirigent Alexander Liebreich opisuje kot izjemno izkušnjo. V pregledu osrednjih glasbenih vsebin današnjega dne na programu ARS izpostavljamo še večerno oddajo Glasba našega časa; začela se bo ob 22. uri in 5 minut. Pripravil jo je Lovrenc Rogelj, ki je oddajo naslovil Fluxus Jaimeja Reisa. Portugalski skladatelj se v svojem skladateljskem opusu ukvarja s presečiščem fizikalnih raziskav prostora in elektroakustičnih zvočnih polj. Njegov cikel šestih skladb z naslovom Fluxus je lani izšel pri založbi Kairos, v njih pa akustična glasbila nastopajo kot stalnica, jedro, okoli katerega potem gradi pestro zvočno sliko digitalnih in modularnih zvenov. Pred koncem rubrike Glasbeni poudarki današnjega dne omenimo še spletni recital vokalistke in multiinstrumentalistke Lane Cenčić, ki bo nocoj ob 20. uri, v okviru Cankarjevih torkov, nastopila na odru Gallusove dvorane Cankarjevega doma. Za vsestransko hrvaško umetnico, ki je bila v sedmih letih življenja in dela v New Yorku dejavno vpeta v newyorško glasbeno sceno, bo to premierni nastop v Sloveniji. Koncertni večer lahko živo spremljate na kanalu YouTube in Facebookovi strani Cankarjevega doma.

I'm very excited to have world-renowned violinist Leila Josefowicz on the show for you today! As you'll hear in our discussion, Leila is a profoundly passionate and dedicated musician who approaches her craft with great depth and she shares incredible wisdom with us. Among many things, Leila elaborates on: The power of memorization What the “practice of violin playing” means to her How exploring new repertoire helped her transition out of her “child prodigy” years Her advice to all musicians suffering from lack of motivation The importance of desire and dedication in the cultivation of talent How our need to feel comfortable while performing is counterproductive Vivid mindful practice This is a particularly powerful conversation, and I know you'll find inspiration and incredible value in this episode.   MORE ABOUT LEILA JOSEFOWICZ: Website: https://www.leilajosefowicz.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LeilaBJo   Find all the details for Leila's World Premiere performance of ‘la linea evocativa. un disegno per violino solo' by Matthias Pintscher HERE. On the occasion of ‘George Condo. Internal Riot' we are honored to host classical violinist Leila Josefowicz in the gallery to perform a new piece of original music in response to ‘George Condo. Internal Riot,' an exhibition of the artist's new paintings and works on paper that runs through 23 January 2021 at Hauser & Wirth New York. ‘Music is such a huge part of my life, without it I don't know if I'd ever have painted anything. There are so many great pieces of music that have inspired me to paint…My favorite thing is to put on a record in the studio and to still be painting without noticing the fact that the music has stopped playing for hours and is just running through my head.'–George Condo The performance comes at an incredibly challenging time for professional musicians. Condo is deeply aware of the adversity they face, and this specially organized event signifies his support for live music and for new ways in which it can reach people.

Dvořák’s Eighth Symphony is a lyrical masterpiece that The Guardian calls “35 minutes of life-enhancing joy.” Edo de Waart conducts this profound work, along with John Adams’ exuberant “foxtrot for orchestra,” an outtake from his opera Nixon in China. The phenomenally gifted Leila Josefowicz returns to perform Stravinsky’s brilliant neoclassical Violin Concerto. Tickets and more info: https://order.cso.org/9948/

About this Performance: The late Oliver Knussen, acclaimed as composer and conductor, had a long connection with the LA Phil. His Violin Concerto is, by turns, intensely dramatic, lyrical, somber, skittish, and – as you would expect from a skilled conductor – it's masterfully orchestrated. Thrilling to this day, Beethoven's “Eroica” is one of the most revolutionary works in Western music, expanding the Classical symphony in almost every way imaginable.   Program: KNUSSEN Violin Concerto BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 3, “Eroica”   Artists: Los Angeles Philharmonic Susanna Mälkki, conductor Leila Josefowicz, violin

It's a bold opening night for the new Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra season: four works of our time, never before performed by the RPO. Needless to say, the orchestra, under the baton of Music Director Ward Stare , is up to the challenge. Anchoring the program is John Adams ' Scheherazade.2 , a work premiered by RPO guest soloist Leila Josefowicz . Ward and Leila walk us through that piece - and the three others - and explain why playing contemporary music is important...and thrilling.
