Synopsis In Rochester, New York, on today's date in 1957, there was a concert at the Eastman School of Music, conducted by the school's famous director Howard Hanson, showcasing new works composed by Eastman graduate students.  Included on the program was a brand-new “Trombone Concerto” by George Walker.Back then, Walker was better known as a remarkable pianist. He was a graduate of the prestigious Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, after all, a student of Rudolf Serkin, and a quite impressive recording exists from his Eastman days of Walker as soloist in the Brahms Second Piano Concerto.  But for Walker, as an African-American, a successful career as a concert pianist in a still-segregated America was not possible – it would be 10 years before Andre Watts broke that taboo, remember, so Walker opted for a musical career as a composer and educator, and proved remarkably accomplished at both.  Walker's early “Trombone Concerto” was a hit from the start. “The composer evidently had a soloist of superior ability in mind in writing this difficult and complex work,” wrote a reviewer at the premiere. “It is music of sound and fury, with lots of dissonance and imaginative drive. Soloist and composer shared in prolonged applause.” Music Played in Today's Program George Walker (1922-2018): Concerto for Trombone and Orchestra (Denis Wick, trombone; London Symphony; Paul Freeman, conductor.) in Sony Black Composers Series CD set 19075862152

I believe it was Jon Jost, our very first guest on this podcast who first put me in touch with Beth Levin. I am most happy he did because Levin is an ideal guest if you want to hear about the world of the piano as instrument and classical music more generally. Many decades ago - in the middle 1980s to be exact - I was exciting a period in which I was strictly trained in what is called the Classical field and decisively entering the jazz and popular field. I learned so much through my classical training and, though part of me did love it, my greatest wish and dream was to do original music rather than that written boy others - even if those others were the best composers of all time. A major theme in this podcast is that of artistic choice and every artist needs to decide what choice best reflects who they are. I feel that in having Beth Levin on the show, as corny or highfalutin as the following might sound, is a something like a living link to the world of Beethoven - and much more. Beth Levin is that good and also that deeply rooted in that particular musical tradition. I can't think of a more exciting or pleasing episode for your your pianist-host and my only hope is that our enthusiasm for the piano is communicated thoroughly as you listen to our episode. Bio Brooklyn-based pianist Beth Levin is celebrated as a bold interpreter of challenging works, from the Romantic canon to leading modernist composers. The New York Times praised her “fire and originality,” while The New Yorker called her playing “revelatory.” Fanfare described Levin's artistry as “fierce in its power,” with “a huge range of colors.” Debuting as a child prodigy with the Philadelphia Orchestra at age twelve, Levin was subsequently taught and guided by legendary pianists such as Rudolf Serkin, Leonard Sure and Dorothy Taubman. Another of her teachers, Paul Badura- Skoda, praised Levin as “a pianist of rare qualities and the highest professional caliber.” Her deep well of experience allows an intuitive connection to the great pianistic traditions, to Bach, to Mozart, to Beethoven. Critics hail the immediacy of her performances. “Levin plays with a rare percussive audacity, making notes and phrases that usually rush by in the background stand out in high relief,” writes Richard Brody in The New Yorker.

Synopsis At New York City's Town Hall on today's date in 1968, the New England Festival Quartet premiered a new chamber work by the American composer George Walker. Walker's String Quartet No. 2 was sandwiched on the program between the String Quartet, Op 95, by Beethoven, and Robert Schumann's Piano Quintet, Op. 44, with George Walker performing the piano part in the Schumann – not surprisingly, since in addition to studying composition at the Curtis Institute, Walker had studied piano there as well, with Rudolf Serkin, no less.  “What was gratifying,” wrote The New York Times music critic the following day, “was the fact that the Walker Quartet held up very well between two such strong works.”28 years later, in 1996, Walker would go on to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music – the first African-American composer to do so. But then, that was only one of George Walker's many remarkable “firsts.” He was also the first black graduate of the Curtis Institute in 1945, the first black musician to play New York's Town Hall that same year, the first black recipient of a doctorate from the Eastman School in 1955, and the first black tenured faculty member at Smith College in 1961.
