Welcome to Season 3, Episode 6! Do you think all Asian Pacific Islanders play classical music? There are a lot of APIs who play classical music, but not all of us fulfill that stereotype, especially in the professional sector. The truth is, according to the 2016 report The Racial/Ethnic and Gender Diversity in the Orchestra Field by the League of American Orchestras, the vast majority of professional classical musicians are white, and although Asian Pacific Islanders are the most represented classical musicians who are people of color, they are a small minority. The representation drops further for any position of power. So this week we talk about three Asian Pacific Islander composers you should know: Zhou Long, Kenji Bunch, and Cerise Lim Jacobs. To learn more and get involved, we recommend visiting Kenji Bunch's Fear No Music and Cerise Lim Jacob's White Snake Projects which both mix classical music, empowerment, and activism. To open this episode, we discuss the Grammy award wins for the API community. To close the episode we launch a new thematic series called “Not as Asian as You Might Think” where we talk about the Lazy Susan and whether it's as Chinese as most people think.

She was for thirty years the founding violinist of the Peabody Trio which was ensemble-in-residence at the Peabody Conservatory from 1987 to 2016. After winning the prestigious Naumburg Chamber Music Award in 1989, the Peabody Trio established itself as an important presence in the chamber music world as vivid interpreters of the classics of the repertoire, advocates for new music, and dedicated teachers and mentors to a generation of young musicians. As a member of the Peabody Trio, Ms. Melançon gave a New York debut in 1990 at Alice Tully Hall and has performed in the most important chamber music series in North America, including New York, Washington, DC, Chicago, Denver, Vancouver, Montreal, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Indianapolis, Dallas, Honolulu, Memphis, Minneapolis, New Orleans, Portland, St. Louis, Boston and Philadelphia.

Among the artists with whom she enjoys collaborating are pianists Leon Fleisher, Gilbert Kalish and Peter Frankl, soprano Phyllis Bryn-Julson, and violist Roger Tapping.   During the spring of 2012, she presented the complete works for solo violin by J.S. Bach. She performs recitals annually, exploring unusual gems of the solo and violin-piano duo repertoire. Ms. Melançon is from Québec, Canada.

Ms. Melançon is also the recipient of many awards for solo performance including the 1984 Prix d'Europe. In 1983, she formed the Knopp-Melançon Duo, an artistic collaboration which would eventually expand to become the Peabody Trio.

On air October 28th, 2019. Recorded October 20th, 2019. Gio Esposito joins Patricia to recap their experiences debuting a choral work in Chinese at Carnegie Hall earlier in the month. Written by Pulitzer-prize winning composer Zhou Long, Men of Steel and the Golden Spike commemorates the 150th anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad, and tells the unrecorded stories of the first Chinese immigrants to the United States. Gio and Patricia sit down to talk about how it felt to perform (for the second time!) at Carnegie Hall, their thoughts on choral music in western vs. Chinese culture, the politics of singing, and how art informs people's perceptions of the other.

Pulitzer Prize winning composer, Zhou Long is interviewed by host Christopher O'Riley

From East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, this week's From the Top features more than 100 young musicians from across Mainland China in their first ever public performance as the National Youth Orchestra of China under the direction of Maestro Ludovic Morlot. We hear the full ensemble perform "Rhyme of Taigu" by Pulitzer-Prize-winning composer Zhou Long, a young clarinetist shares how he fell in love with the clarinet's sound at his first concert, and five members of the ensemble perform the energetic first movement of Francis Poulenc's Sextet for Piano and Wind Quintet with Christopher O'Riley.

Tonsättarna Xinyan Li och Zhou Long föddes båda i Kina. Förutom västerländsk konstmusik studerade de kinesisk folkmusik, poesi, kalligrafi och filosofi. De har nu musikalisk bas både i USA och i Kina. Xinyan Li har prisats som formidabel tonsättare med en sällsynt och speciell talang. Hennes musik har redan spelats i Kina, USA, Frankrike, Norge och Tyskland. Hon föddes i en liten stad i nordöstra Kina. Varje söndag i åtta år åkte Xinyan Li och hennes föräldrar tur och retur 7 timmar till en större stad där hon fick pianoundervisning. Under årens lopp åkte de tåg en sträcka lika lång som 3,5 gånger runt ekvatorn. Xinyan Li tog sin examen vid China Conservatory of Music i Beijing. I New York arbetar hon nu på sin doktorsavhandling i komposition. Xinyan Li skriver musik om kinesiska folkminoriteter, bl a folket Mosuo. Hennes stråkkvartett Dynamik Calligraphy är inspirerad av gesterna i kinesiska tecken och tonhöjder och glissandon i det kinesiska språket. Inför Havslegender för fagott blev Xinyan Li inspirerad av tonfärgerna i Pekingoperan Li Kui besöker sin mor. Hennes stycke King Chu är tonsatt för kammarorkester och den starkt utlevande mansrollen Det målade ansiktet ur klassisk pekingopera. -Min kinesiska identitet är allt; mitt hjärta, min själ och min ande, förklarar Xinyan Li.   Som den förste asiat-amerikan någonsin vann tonsättaren Zhou Long Pulitzerpriset 2011 genom sin första och nydanande opera Madame White Snake, som är baserad på en välkänd legend från hemlandet Kina. Ur motiveringen: En djupt utrycksfull opera sprungen ur en kinesisk folksaga,  där musikaliska traditioner från öst och väst blandas. Madame White Snake sjungs av sopranen Ying Huang. Hennes tjänare, den gröna ormen, sjungs av den manlige sopranen Michael Maniaci. Zhou Long började tidigt spela piano. Kulturrevolutionen satte hans pianostudier på standby och hans familj förflyttades till en statlig bondgård där han körde traktor. Året efter Mao Zedongs död 1976 öppnades portarna åter till Centrala Musikkonservatoriet i Beijing. 18 000 studenter sökte och Zhou Long var en av hundra elever som blev antagna. Han studerade komposition, musikteori och dirigering. Zhou Long reste på den kinesiska landsbygden, samlade folksånger och blev förälskad i kinesisk traditionsmusik och i instrument som den tvåsträngade fiddlan Erhu och lerflöjten Shun. I operan Madame White Snake möts västerländska orkesterinstrument och dessa kinesiska instrument. Zhou Long översatte fyra poem från Tangdynastin till engelska, bl a dikter av poeterna Li Bai och Liu Zongyuan. En barnkör sjunger a capella i operan. -Detta är helt nytt inom operatraditionen, förklarar Zhou Long. Ingen tonsättare har tidigare låtit en barnkör sjunga i en fullängdsopera. Idag pendlar Zhou Long mellan Kansas City, där han är professor i komposition vid University of Missouri och Brooklyn, New York, där han har en våning tillsammans med hustrun, den framstående tonsättaren Chen Yi, även hon professor i Kansas City. Zhou Longs musik har spelats in av en mängd skivbolag. Birgitta Tollan möter Zhou Long på Russian Vodka Bar vid 52:a gatan, där alla Pulitzervinnarna samlas efter prisutdelningen på Columbiauniversitetet på övre Manhattan.   Spellista: I Love New York              Madonna   Madame White Snake Zhou Long Liveinspening, Boston, USA   Mountain Sacrifice No. 2 Xinyan Li American Composers Orchestra Liveinspelning, USA   Mo Suo's Burial Ceremony For Woodwind Quintet Xinyan Li Yating Yu m fl                   Liveinspelning, USA   King Chu Xinyan Li UMKC Orchestra.

One of the first composers to graduate from the Beijing Conservatory upon its reopening after the Cultural Revolution and the winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for his opera Madame White Snake, Zhou Long creates thoughtful, spiritually-infused music that has resonated with audiences across the globe.

In this first-of-its-kind collaboration, soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophones join with traditional Chinese instruments to perform new works written for them by Grammy Award-winners Zhou Long and Chen Yi, among others. The New York Times praised the PRISM Quartet for its "sensitivity, technical assurance, and mellow sweet sound," while the Kansas City Star raved that "Music From China is music from heaven." This performance was recorded in concert in the Freer's Meyer Auditorium on March 1, 2009. http://www.asia.si.edu/podcasts/related/prism/progNotes.asp

New York, stad med ständig Klang! Del 2 Podd. New York bär på ett omfattande musikaliskt arv och är än idag en viktig grogrund för ny musik. New York är en smältdegel där olika kulturer, attityder, avantgardister och briljanta musiker möts och skapar ny musik. Ett riktigt eldorado för en musikkanal som P2! I del 2 möter vi två tonsättare födda i Kina men verksamma i New York. Zhou Long vann Pulitzerpriset 2011 genom sin första och nydanande opera Madame White Snake. Här möts västerländska orkesterinstrument och traditionellt kinesiska. Zhou Long översatte fyra poem från Tangdynastin till engelska. En av hans kompositionselever, Xinyan Li, inspireras även hon av Pekingopera och kinesiska legender för att skriva nutida konstmusik. Xinyan Li skriver musik om kinesiska folkminoriteter och hennes stråkkvartett Dynamik Calligraphy är inspirerad av gesterna i kinesiska tecken. Manus och produktion: Birgitta Tollan.
