Dr. Samuel Jamier, Executive Director of the New York Asian Film Festival/Foundation (NYAFF), tells me about his childhood, growing up as a Korean adoptee in France and how his experiences led him to his current role of promoting stories from around the world.  He shares his thoughts about reducing stereotypes and advancing representation in film, including:  Supporting quality films with multi-dimensional characters vs. blanket support of films with actors who identify with under-represented groups Encouraging increased viewership of films with subtitles Volunteering with the NYAFF. ========================================== Bio: Dr. Samuel Jamier is a distinguished curator, producer, and the Principal of SMLX Consulting, a leading consultancy dedicated to empowering creative teams and enhancing storytelling across Asia and beyond. As the Executive Director of the New York Asian Film Festival/Foundation (NYAFF), Sam brings extensive expertise from his pivotal roles at the Japan Society, The Korea Society, and the French Embassy. After relocating to New York City from Paris in 2002, Sam began his career as a Chargé de Mission for the Cultural Services of the French Embassy, where he spearheaded the literary program. At The Korea Society, he orchestrated diverse programming initiatives, spanning from foreign policy and corporate symposia to Korean cinema and traditional performing arts.

His personal journey navigating multicultural identities inspires his commitment to fostering authentic cultural representation and enhancing storytelling accuracy for global entertainment professionals.

How do we express aliveness and honesty through our voices? How do our relationships with moving, interruptions, and presence help in the journey of finding authenticity through the sounds our voices make?I feel blessed to record this conversation with Marisa Michelson. Marisa has been building a body of work that examines singing through the multidimensionality of the human being / becoming. When I first found Marisa's work, I was stunned that someone has not only asked the questions I grapple with at various points in my journey, but has sincerely explored them with the devotion, love, and skill they deserve. In this conversation, we discussed Marisa's process with composing music, teaching, and exploring the voice in service of freer singing, healing, self-growth, sexuality, and spiritual inquiry. We explored non-verbal expressions, feeling saturated with life, the connections between limitation and liberation, and the practice of presence.To connect with Marisa:Marisa's websiteListen to Marisa's music Sappho Fragments and Tamar of The River.Vocal De-Armoring Community Weekend on Oct. 25-27th, 2024 in Ancram, NYThe Vocal De-Armoring Channel on Mighty NetworksJoin Marisa's newsletter at the bottom of this page to hear more about her upcoming workshop on Primal ScreamingHere's Marisa's bio: Marisa is a multiple award-winning composer of music-theatre, musicals, oratorio and choral works, and was the founding director of the psychedelic vocal performance ensemble Constellation Chor | an immersion in voice, movement, and spirit which performed throughout New York City and international for seven years, debuting a new music composition with the NY Philharmonic at Lincoln Center in 2018. Her musicals have been produced off-Broadway, her oratorio was performed many times in NYC and in Salt Lake City, and you may hear some of her music wherever music streams. Marisa has been obsessed with all the magic that is the singing, voice-giving, expressive human for over two decades, exploring the uniqueness of solo, ensemble and multiply interweaving voices as a composer, a performer and a sought after somatic singing teacher. Somehow, voice-giving and its relation to the body, spirit and psyche has continued to call her forward - no matter the musical genre, and beyond any binary between performance and healing, composition and improvisation, process and product. After almost two decades of devotion to the Libero Canto School of Singing (a primary lineage of hers), she created the School of Vocal De-Armoring, a somatic and holistic approach to working with singing and voice-giving in a way that connects us more intimately with the layered dimensions of Self. Vocal De-Armoring is not focused on particular aesthetic sound outcomes, though aesthetic improvement - which is subjective - is an important byproduct, but, instead, on self-connection and on learning to sing from a place of honesty. At the same time, Vocal De-Armoring practices help a person develop musical and vocal mastery. Vocal De-Armoring is also about de-conditioning, and Human-ing from a place of Truth. Marisa lives, works, plays and teaches in Ancram on Mohican land in upstate New York.

SynopsisFor decades many of the 20th century's greatest composers routinely visited Venice's famous canals and churches during a biennial music festival that showcased brand-new works by the likes of Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Britten, and others.The French composer Darius Milhaud describes sharing space with several of his composer-colleagues in a cramped Festival “green room.” “It was a normal sight to see Stravinsky's rain-coat and Constant Lambert's tweed overcoat hanging near my two walking sticks,” writes Milhaud. “Meanwhile, the Italian composer Hildebrando Pizetti would be putting up a mirror, opening a silver toilet-case, and arranging flowers, his wife's photograph and a sheaf of telegrams.”On today's date in 1937, Milhaud conducted the first performance of his Suite Provencale at the Venice Festival. This jaunty score proved to be one of his most popular orchestral works. In 1954, it was Leonard Bernstein's turn. On today's date that year, he conducted in Venice the premiere performance of his Serenade for violin and orchestra, with Isaac Stern the featured soloist.Despite its admirable track record for picking winners, the Venice Festival shut down operations in 1973, although its impact lives on in the number of modern masterworks it helped launch in its day.Music Played in Today's ProgramDarius Milhaud (1892 - 1974) Suite provençale, Op. 152b Detroit Symphony; Neeme Järvi, cond.

After almost three years of pop-up outdoor performances and playing in venues around the city, the NY Phil came home to a newly renovated David Geffen Hall in October of 2022.

The story is a classic in the gilded halls of symphonic music: someone falls ill and a young performer must step in at the last moment. For Leonard Bernstein, that happened live on the radio. During his career as the director of the New York Philharmonic, he advanced the orchestra's legacy of providing first-rate music to New Yorkers, and eventually to the nation through the televised broadcasts of his Young People's Concerts. The Phil continues that tradition today with their summer events playing concerts in the parks around the city.The NYPhil Story: Made in New York production team includes Lauren Purcell-Joiner, Helena de Groot, Sapir Rosenblatt, Laura Boyman, Elizabeth Nonemaker, Eileen Delahunty, Christine Herskovits, Natalia Ramirez, and Ed Yim.

Do we know when we're living through history? In 1893, New Yorkers gathered outside Carnegie Hall to hear the ground-breaking premiere of composer Antonín Dvořák's Symphony No. 9, better known as the “New World Symphony.” One of the most hotly anticipated premieres in musical history, it was delivered in the midst of a national debate over what a distinctly “American” classical music should sound like — and it was destined to become one of the most beloved works in Western classical repertoire. Over a century later, the NY Phil performed the same work a world away in Pyongyang, North Korea, once again making history, and revisiting those same questions of what it means to perform American music — and how music, regardless of its origin, can serve as a bridge between peoples.The NYPhil Story: Made in New York production team includes Lauren Purcell-Joiner, Helena de Groot, Sapir Rosenblatt, Laura Boyman, Elizabeth Nonemaker, Eileen Delahunty, Christine Herskovits, Natalia Ramirez, and Ed Yim.

April 29th, 1865: Fifteen days after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, the Philharmonic paid tribute to the late president with the Funeral March from Beethoven's Symphony No. 3. Beethoven intended this work to honor Napoleon — but ripped out the dedication page when Napoleon declared himself Emperor of France. Now, the symphony merely known as “Eroica” (or “heroic”) is fitting music to honor any national leader or heroic figure.Later, in the wake of an all-too-familiar tragedy, students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School reached out to two New York Philharmonic musicians. Clarinetist Anthony McGill, trombonist Joseph Alessi, and former band director of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Alex Kaminsky discuss how music helped console a community in the face of violence and loss.The NYPhil Story: Made in New York production team includes Lauren Purcell-Joiner, Helena de Groot, Sapir Rosenblatt, Laura Boyman, Elizabeth Nonemaker, Eileen Delahunty, Christine Herskovits, Natalia Ramirez, and Ed Yim.

On December 7, 1842, a group of musicians gathered in the Apollo Rooms in Lower Manhattan and performed – for the first time – as the Philharmonic Society of New York. The first piece they played? Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. In this episode, we try to listen to that most famous of famous symphonies as our 1842 audience would have: as if for the very first time. And, host Jamie Bernstein follows the twists and turns on the journey an early musician, Solidor Milon, took to get to that stage. Even today, the path that NY Phil musicians take to Lincoln Center is a breathtaking one, as we hear in the story of concertmaster Frank Huang.A transcript of this episode is available on our website: nyphilstory.com

In this episode, Dave and Andrew look through Windows at Jacob Druckman's compositional style and legacy in American music. Druckman taught at Yale and the Aspen Music Festival for years, shaping generations of young composers, and coined the term "New Romanticism" when he curated the Horizons Festivals at the NY Philharmonic in the mid-1980s. Yet today, his attempts to merge modernist techniques with audience-friendly sounds are largely forgotten. Should they be?   If you'd like to know more about Druckman, we recommend: Nicholas Papador's dissertation Jacob Druckman: A Bio-Bibliography and Guide to Research, Northwestern University, 2003.

#50. If you're a choral nerd, get ready to nerd OUT. You're about to hang out withThe Crossing's two-time Grammy Award winner Donald Nally. One of the remarkable things about Donald is that his immense talent does not stop him from being vulnerable. In fact, I'm sure his openness and humility, along with his singular goal of choral honesty, are the reasons why he enjoys such success. So give a listen and discover what professional endeavor Donald avoids because he says he's a disaster at it. What it was like to meet Mick Jagger and perform with the Rolling Stones. WhyThe Crossing has performed with the LA Philharmonic and the NY Philharmonic but never The Philadelphia Orchestra. What Donald really thinks about Zoom. And what it really feels like to win not one, but TWO Grammys. And you'll hear Donald's answer to the question of what the "secret formula" is to winning a Grammy. Obviously, he's figured it out. Or has he? This is an engaging conversation, with the inimitable singing of The Crossing threaded throughout. If you don't already, you'll understand just why this ensemble has won two Grammys. But that's decidedly not why Donald does what he does. You'll find out what drives him in this very special episode. Our two-part conversation begins with something I found rather curious in his bio on The Crossing website. It ends with an excerpt fromThe Crossing's recording of Jim Primosch's Carthage , which has earned Nally and the ensemble its 6th Grammy nomination and maybe its 3rd Grammy Award for Best Choral Performance. Break a vocal fold Donald! Every piece that is highlighted in this episode, along with a link to buy it so you can know this incredible artistry and support The Crossing and the composers it champions, can be found on my website's blog. Or you can go directly to crossingchoir.org. (Donald Nally's Photo Credit: Beck Oehlers)

Devin speaks with John Clay Allen about musicians and composers who were pioneers in bridging electronic and acoustic sounds, especially around the symphony orchestra.  John Clay Allen is a composer, pianist, educator & explorer on the fringes where classical music meets electronic music. Originally from Ruidoso, New Mexico, his music is a synthesis of post-minimalist and spectralist styles, with an underlying predilection for the romantic. His music values the timbral and textural over the traditional note unit, and uses electronics to extend the realm of acoustic possibility. His body of work ranges from pieces for soloist and chamber ensembles to full orchestra, wind symphony, and opera, and his debut album Asnières (silent “s”) was released in 2020.  Clay’s compositions have been performed across the United States and internationally at festivals including SEAMUS, CICTeM in Buenos Aires, the Cortona Sessions in Italy, and the New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival. Recent commissions include works for the Boulder Symphony, Pendulum New Music’s Spark Award, sAge Brass, the Boulder Altitude Directive, and Ajax string quartet. Clay has been a fellow at New Music on the Point and the Charlotte New Music.  As a performer, Clay frequently appears as a conductor and collaborative pianist, and has performed across the United States. Passionate about education and outreach, Clay has taught lessons and classes in composition, piano, and music technology for nearly a decade and is a founding member of the Equinox New Music Collective, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing new music to new audiences. Clay holds degrees from West Texas A&M University, University of North Texas, and the University of Colorado Boulder where he received his doctorate in composition. Clay currently divides his time teaching at Metropolitan State University of Denver and the University of Colorado Boulder.  Thank you for joining us on One Symphony and thanks to John Clay Allen for sharing his music, knowledge, & expertise.

At Bellwether, we prefer to learn from the best.  And when it comes to mindfulness, focus and performing under pressure, you find the best on one of the most intimidating stages in the world: the New York Philharmonic. Richard Deane, Principal French Horn for the NY Phil, executes with graceful detail in front of one of the most fastidious and discriminating audiences that exist (classical music fans). And he does so with one of the most challenging instruments you can play. Getting to his seat is an arduous journey. Some would argue that staying in that seat is even more challenging.  It takes focus. It takes meditation and mindfulness. It takes humility and grace and all of those other really nice words we wish people used about us.  Richard shares his story - of what got him to where he is, and how he remains focused while playing exquisite music on a grand scale. Most importantly, and this was the question I could hardly wait to ask, is how to get your focus back after making a mistake. The metaphors are solid and the advice is tangible. I loved learning from Richard, and I know you will, too.  You can learn more about Richard on his website: www.richarddeane.com You can learn more about the New York Philharmonic here: www.nyphil.org

In this episode, I chat with with Anthony McGill, principal clarinetist with the NY Philharmonic.  We have a great conversation about attention and presence, in both practice and performance. Among other things, we discuss his journey to the NY Phil, the importance of absolutely loving music in choosing it as a career, how to nurture focus and make practice more efficient, and how to work towards having more flow in performance. Anthony elaborates on: His musical path, from the Southside of Chicago to the NY Phil The various institutions he attended – the Merit School, the Interlochen Academy, and the Curtis Institute How important the community that surrounds us is as we develop as musicians/artists/people How to nurture focus: The importance of how loving what you do is in fostering focus The quote that really articulated that concept for him How focus starts from figuring out if you truly love what you do Cultivating quality presence, awareness, and curiosity in the practice room are the keys to solid focus How to make practice efficient How he primes and prepares for a practice session How wanting to practice, having a plan, being aware, and being methodical are at the core of a good practice session How he “tricks” himself to practice (which is similar to the trick I talk about in this blog entry: https://www.mindoverfinger.com/blog/commit-to-ten) How listening to music is important Focus in performance: How to work towards flow and overcome mistakes How important it is to develop our public speaking and self-marketing skills Why we should develop an interest in a hobby outside of music   MORE ABOUT ANTHONY: Website: http://www.anthonymcgill.com/ Find some YouTube videos about Anthony HERE Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mcgillclarinet/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Mcgillab/   Biography Clarinetist Anthony McGill is one of classical music's most recognizable and brilliantly multifaceted figures. He serves as the principal clarinet of the New York Philharmonic — that orchestra's first African-American principal player — and maintains a dynamic international solo and chamber music career. Hailed for his “trademark brilliance, penetrating sound and rich character” (The New York Times), as well as for his “exquisite combination of technical refinement and expressive radiance” (The Baltimore Sun), McGill also serves as an ardent advocate for helping music education reach underserved communities and for addressing issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in classical music. McGill was honored to take part in the inauguration of President Barack Obama, premiering a piece written for the occasion by John Williams and performing alongside violinist Itzhak Perlman, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and pianist Gabriela Montero.   McGill's 2018-19 season includes performances of concertos by Bolcom, Copland, Mozart, and Strauss with the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Tallahassee Symphony, Vermont Symphony, and Austin Symphonic Band. He will also collaborate together with soprano Miah Persson in a performance of Schubert's “The Shepherd on the Rock” together with Iván Fischer and the New York Philharmonic. Additional performances include a collaboration with the Dover Quartet for the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society and a recital with soprano Julia Bullock for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, along with collaborations with the Brentano Quartet for Princeton University and a tour of Asia with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.   McGill appears regularly as a soloist with top orchestras around North America including the New York Philharmonic, Metropolitan Opera, Baltimore Symphony, San Diego Symphony, and Kansas City Symphony. As a chamber musician, McGill is a favorite collaborator of the Brentano, Daedalus, Guarneri, JACK, Miró, Pacifica, Shanghai, Takacs, and Tokyo Quartets, as well as Emanuel Ax, Inon Barnatan, Gloria Chien, Yefim Bronfman, Gil Shaham, Midori, Mitsuko Uchida, and Lang Lang. He has led tours with Musicians from Marlboro and regularly performs for the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society. Festival appearances include Tanglewood, Marlboro, Mainly Mozart, Music@Menlo, and the Santa Fe, Seattle, and Skaneateles Chamber Music Festivals.   In January 2015, McGill recorded the Nielsen Clarinet Concerto together with Alan Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic, which was released on DaCapo Records. He also recorded an album together with his brother Demarre McGill, principal flute of the Seattle Symphony, and pianist Michael McHale; and one featuring the Mozart and Brahms Clarinet Quintet with the Pacifica Quartet that were both released by Cedille Records.   A dedicated champion of new music, in 2014, McGill premiered a new piece written for him by Richard Danielpour entitled “From the Mountaintop” that was commissioned by the New Jersey Symphony, Kansas City Symphony, and Orchestra 2001. McGill served as the 2015-16 Artist-in-Residence for WQXR and has appeared on Performance Today, MPR's St. Paul Sunday Morning, and Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. In 2013, McGill appeared on the NBC Nightly News and on MSNBC, in stories highlighting the McGill brothers' inspirational story.   A graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, McGill previously served as the principal clarinet of the Metropolitan Opera and associate principal clarinet of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. In-demand as a teacher, he serves on the faculty of the Juilliard School, the Curtis Institute of Music, Bard College's Conservatory of Music, and the Manhattan School of Music. He also serves as the Artistic Advisor for the Music Advancement Program at the Juilliard School, on the Board of Directors for both the League of American Orchestra and the Harmony Program, and the advisory council for the InterSchool Orchestras of New York.   If you enjoyed the show, please leave a review on iTunes!  I truly appreciate your support!

Just superb!” And All About Jazz said “When Cairncross sings……she makes every word count. Her voice, technically excellent and emotionally engaging, gives each lyric a very personal perspective, as if these are her stories, not just her interpretation of others' tales.

Author Blair Tindall is my guest this week. You may know her from her controversial 2005 book, "Mozart in the Jungle", or the hit Amazon series of the same name, created by Jason Schwartzman and starring Gael Garcia Bernal. Blair has had a stellar career as a classical musician, playing oboe for the NY Philharmonic, for hit shows on broadway, and as a session player for film and television. There's also been a lot of commotion over Blair's tell-all book about life in the classical world, and she speaks candidly about her experiences with some of the major players who loom large in our community. Blair also details the subsequent fallout after the book's publication, which quickly led to her being black-listed by many former friends and colleagues. "Mozart in the Jungle" is a real page turner- I loved the book, and I'm loving the Amazon series, too, so check them both out- I hope you enjoy our chat!
