Back to Press Release List > 10/07/2009 - The Academy Announces its 2009–2010 Season With 23 Concerts in NYC and Beyond

The Academy—a pioneering two-year leadership program for post-graduate musicians from leading music schools that provides performance opportunities, year-long school partnerships with the New York City public schools, and intensive professional development—begins its fourth season this fall. Established in January 2007, The Academy—a program of Carnegie Hall, The Juilliard School, and The Weill Music Institute in partnership with the New York City Department of Education—equips musicians with the skills and values necessary for careers that combine musical excellence with education, community engagement, and advocacy.

As the acclaimed Ensemble ACJW, the Academy’s 20 fellows will come together to perform 23 concerts this season at Carnegie Hall, The Juilliard School, and other venues. New this season will be a series of three concerts at Greenwich Village nightclub and music venue (Le) Poisson Rouge, with programs created entirely by the fellows. Also, for the third consecutive season, The Academy will partner with Skidmore College, bringing performances and educational events, including student composer readings, to the Saratoga Springs community. Alumni of the program maintain close ties with the program by returning to perform as part of the Ensemble in a variety of concerts presented by Carnegie Hall and by other venues in New York City and beyond.

Throughout the school year, fellows of The Academy will continue to have a major impact in the New York City public schools, working alongside a partner music teacher and adapting their teaching to the needs of the school to which they will be assigned to work throughout the year. Following much success during its initial year last season, each fellow will also develop and perform in two interactive ensemble concerts with Academy colleagues in each of their schools, bringing their talented musicianship not just to student musicians, but also to a wider school audience.

The Academy, 2009–2010 Season
Performances: During the 2009—2010 season, Ensemble ACJW will perform 23 concerts at an expanded number of venues, including Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall and Weill Recital Hall; The Juilliard School’s Paul Hall; (Le) Poisson Rouge in Greenwich Village; in New York City community venues as part of the free Neighborhood Concert Series presented by Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute; Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center; and at Skidmore College’s Filene Recital Hall and Ladd Concert Hall.

Time Out New York wrote that Ensemble ACJW’s concerts “are quite possibly the most unheralded bargains in town—adventurous programs covering everything from the Baroque to contemporary music, played with heart and precision.”

2009–2010 season highlights include:

Tuesday, October 13 at Weill Recital Hall (also performed October 9 at Skidmore College)—The Academy’s 2009–10 season kicks off with a program including Daniel Bernard Roumain’s recent composition Five Chairs and One Table, commissioned by Carnegie Hall for the March 2009 festival Honor! A Celebration of the African American Cultural Legacy. The program also includes Dvořák’s Piano Quartet in E-flat Major, and Saint-Saëns’ Carnival of the Animals.

Monday, October 26 at Weill Recital Hall (also performed October 25 as a Neighborhood Concert at Flushing Town Hall, Queens)—As part of Ancient Paths, Modern Voices, Carnegie Hall’s citywide festival of Chinese culture, Ensemble ACJW performs compositions by the illustrious Class of 1978—the first class that entered music conservatories in China, following the end of the Cultural Revolution. The program includes chamber music by Chen Qigang, Chen Yi, Bright Sheng, Guo Wenjing, and Zhou Long.

Sunday, November 22 at Juilliard’s Peter Jay Sharp Theater—Ensemble ACJW and young artists from The Juilliard School and Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute perform vocal, chamber, and solo music of Schubert in a concert programmed and coached by pianist Alfred Brendel. This concert and lecture marks Mr. Brendel’s first visit to New York since retiring from public performance in 2008.

Sunday, December 13 at (Le) Poisson Rouge—This concert kicks off a new partnership between The Academy and (Le) Poisson Rouge. During the 2009–10 season, members of Ensemble ACJW will program and perform in three concerts at this multimedia art cabaret located in Greenwich Village. Program is to be announced.

Thursday, March 11 at Paul Hall—Ensemble ACJW comes to Juilliard’s Paul Hall with an exciting program that includes Hugo Wolf’s Italian Serenade, Oskar Böhme’s Sextet in E-flat Minor, and Schubert’s Octet in F Major.

Wednesday, March 24 at Zankel Hall—Guest conductor Thomas Adès leads Ensemble ACJW in his own compositions, The Origin of the Harp and Concerto Conciso as well as Brahms’s Ophelia Lieder, Gerald Barry’s Sextet, and works by Henry Purcell to be announced.

Monday, May 10 at Zankel Hall—Guest conductor John Adams leads Ensemble ACJW in his own composition, Son of Chamber Symphony, and Stravinsky’s Concerto for Piano and Winds with guest soloist Jeremy Denk. The program also includes Louis Andriessen’s seminal 1976 work De Staat as part of the Dutch composer’s extended residency at Carnegie Hall as holder of the 2009–10 Richard and Barbara Debs Composer’s Chair.

Note: A complete Ensemble ACJW performance schedule follows at the end of this release.

School Partnerships: Following intensive instruction in music educational concepts, each fellow—matched with a New York City public school—brings his/her musical knowledge and talents into a K-12 classroom beginning in October. Depending on the needs of each school, fellows can provide one-on-one or sectional coaching to young instrumental students, teach general music, coach band or string ensembles, or serve as a musical resource at their school. Using a co-teaching model, the residency focuses on musical skill-building with the students through interactive performances and creative approaches to skills-based work. Following a successful launch of a new initiative last year, small groups of fellows will develop and perform in two interactive performances at their schools, bringing music to the larger student body. Each fellow is on-site at his/her partner school for 36 days of the school year.

In connection with having an Academy fellow in its music classrooms, Academy partner schools receive a number of additional benefits, including “materials allowances” to be used in support of its music program; access to the programs of Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute, including free enrollment in its LinkUP! Program for select classrooms; professional development opportunities for teachers and principals; free concert tickets to select Carnegie Hall Family Concerts and Ensemble ACJW concerts; school group tours of Carnegie Hall and The Juilliard School; and ongoing consultation with Academy staff. Public elementary, middle, and high schools that are within the New York City Department of Education and that have already-existing music programs are eligible to apply for this program. Schools selected for participation in this program will be asked to set aside $1,500 for the partnership school benefits and services provided by The Academy fellow.

Skidmore College Residency: On October 7-10, 2009 and February 3-6, 2010, Academy fellows head north to Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY, for a third straight season of mini-residencies at the school. Through formal concerts on campus and informal performances in other non-traditional settings like dormitories, Ensemble ACJW continues to strengthen its relationship with audiences outside of New York City. On February 5, 2010, Ensemble ACJW is slated to play the first public concert in Ladd Concert Hall in the spectacular new Zankel Music Center. Fellows will also work with Skidmore College music students in master classes and lessons, composition reading sessions with student composers, and community outreach to schools in the surrounding community.

(Le) Poisson Rouge Series: A new series of concerts this season will be programmed and performed by Ensemble ACJW at the Greenwich Village’s (Le) Poisson Rouge. More details are to be announced.

Group Projects: Academy musicians are given the opportunity to propose ideas for group projects that fulfill the mission of the program. Using music as a central theme, these projects give selected fellows real-life experience working as a group with major arts organizations to produce an engaging and interactive event for students or for different New York City communities. Fellows with approved proposals are given access to the resources of Carnegie Hall, The Juilliard School, The Weill Music Institute, and the New York City Department of Education to create, develop, and implement their own community or school-based project. Examples of previous second year projects include:

Last season, two groups of fellows created projects. The M.U.S.I.C. Exchange (Musically Uniting Students in Correspondence) ran from November 2008 through March 2009 creating a musical and written conversation across cultures and generations through an exchange of musical ideas and letters. Participants included students from PS 153M and Long Island City High School; 10 refugee high school students participating in the International Rescue Committee youth program; and members of the Philharmonic Orchestra of the Americas (POA). The second project, Voice of the Whale, was an hour-long multimedia performance inspired by George Crumb's Vox Balaenae and featured works, including the world première of Middle Bank Rounds by the American composer Ingram Marshall. The event took place on May 17, 2009 at The American Museum of Natural History's Milstein Hall of Ocean Life.

Alumni: The Academy maintains a close relationship with its alumni by offering them opportunities to perform as part of Ensemble ACJW at Carnegie Hall and for a variety of audiences in New York City and beyond. This season, alumni are given the opportunity to co-lead many of the professional development sessions for the current fellows, especially those that focus on the in-school work and how to co-teach with partner teachers. Alumni will also be featured in a spring Carnegie Hall Family Concert on Sunday, June 5 at 1:00 p.m. and in Carnegie Hall Neighborhood Concerts. (See below for more details)

The Academy
The Academy—a program of Carnegie Hall, The Juilliard School, and The Weill Music Institute in partnership with the New York City Department of Education—is a two-year leadership program designed to develop the skills and values necessary for careers that combine musical excellence with education, community engagement, and advocacy. The program serves postgraduate musicians with opportunities to perform in concert halls, to teach in public schools, to engage in local communities and college campuses, and to support this work through professional development. The program reflects the belief that the artist of tomorrow will require both the ability to perform at the highest level and the capacity to give back to the community, inspiring the next generation of musicians and music lovers. A partnership with Skidmore College that began in the 2007–08 season will also bring performances and educational events to the Saratoga Springs community.

The Academy was launched in January 2007, initiated by Carnegie Hall’s Executive and Artistic Director Clive Gillinson in partnership with Joseph W. Polisi, President of The Juilliard School. The fellows in the program were selected because of their extraordinary level of musicianship, deep commitment to education and community engagement, and leadership qualities. Fellows are graduates of leading music schools, including The Curtis Institute of Music, Eastman School of Music, The Juilliard School, Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music, Mannes College The New School for Music, New England Conservatory, and Yale School of Music. Please visit acjw.org for more information about the program.
