I am very excited to share an interview I did with Rebekah Heller that was conducted in early April. Rebekah is a solo bassoonist based in New York and has been praised for her “flair” and “deftly illuminated” performances by The New York Times. Not only a uniquely dynamic solo and collaborative artist, she is fiercely committed to expanding the modern repertoire for the bassoon and has appeared as soloist with many prestigious orchestras such as The New York Philharmonic and is co-artistic director of the International Contemporary Ensemble. Besides performing she has an active teaching career and teaches at the International Contemporary Ensemble's summer program, Ensemble Evolution, and is also on the bassoon faculty at the Mannes School of Music at The New School College of Performing Arts. We had a fun chat about many topics including contemporary music, commissioning and working with composers, fund-raising, extended technique, covid-19 and share some of our surfing mishaps!

Rebekah Heller is an astounding bassoonist, who has been with the International Contemporary Ensemble for the past 10 plus years. She has recently stepped up as their artistic director, while maintaining an incredibly rich and exciting concert and recording schedule. She's also my neighbor and a super nice & fun person. For today's talk we cover a lot of ground in a short period of time: Oberlin, the Lower East Side, bassoon and her stellar new solo record, Metafagote. Today is a fun talk with an exceptional musician.
Happy New Year! In this episode we discuss our 2017 "top shelf" and share YOUR resolutions! For our interview, we welcome solo bassoonist, Rebekah Heller!

Upptakt New York - självsvåldiga nedslag i musiklivet i en av världens musikaliska huvudstäder. Möt det nya hos Claire Chase, flöjt, Marilyn Nonken, piano, performer Du Yun och Rebekah Heller, fagott. I Upptakt New York görs självsvåldiga nedslag i musiklivet i en av världens musikaliska huvudstäder. Konstnärliga ledaren för International Contemporary Ensemble, soloflöjtisten Claire Chase, pendlar mellan Lincoln Center i New Yorks Uptown och små musikskolor på den mexikanska landsbygden. - Vi arkiverar musik av den allra senaste generationen levande tonsättare, berättar hon och gläder sig åt att de vattentäta skotten mellan noterad nutida musik och experimenterande musik försvinner. Tonsättaren och performern Du Yun lever numera i New York. - I Shanghai studerade vi västerländska, vita, döda mästare: Bach, Chopin, Beethoven, Mozart, Bartok och Stravinskij. I New York experimenterar jag med den kinesiska cittran zheng för att kunna jobba med mikrotonalitet, säger Du Yun som känner sig ödmjuk inför att inpå bara kroppen uppleva frihet och demokrati. Marilyn Nonken är en av de främsta uttolkarna av superkomplexa, pinfärska pianonoter. Till henne skriver bl a Tristan Murail musik. Hur skiljer sig den allra färskaste, mest nyskrivna musiken från tidigare nutida musik? - Jo, unga tonsättare idag sammanför delar ur olika traditioner, som tidigare var helt åtskiljda, säger Marilyn Nonken, som I sina recitals vill ge plats för kontemplation. Unga solofagottisten Rebekah Heller bröt sig loss från födelsestaden Wanakena med 80 innevånare. Nu bor hon i 9-miljonersstaden New York och växlar mellan traditionellt orkesterpartitur och experimenterande fagottklanger, helst tonsatta av de yngsta, nu levande tonsättarna.

It gives technicians fits, but composers and performers are always experimenting with new “wrong” ways to play their instrument. From Bartok pizz to prepared piano, multiphonics to slap tongue, many of these techniques have made it into the standard repertoire. What new extended techniques are being pioneered today?
