Abstract:
The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra's conductor, Sakari Oramo, took up the cause of the long-neglected and little-regarded British composer John Foulds (1880–1939) in the late 1990s, as soon as he was appointed to his present post. This February saw his most high-profile push on Foulds's behalf so far, with performances of three Foulds works – one of them a UK and concert première, another a world première – in three Symphony Hall concerts, two of them broadcast on BBC Radio 3. This was followed by a CD recording for Warner Classics of these three pieces plus a fourth, Foulds's early elegy for violin and orchestra, Apotheosis. Intervening in one of the pre-concert talks, Oramo stated his conviction that after decades of misunderstanding during his lifetime, and half a century of neglect thereafter, ‘we owe it to this remarkable composer to play his music – and play it often’. It is difficult to think that any London orchestra would dare to programme anything so distant from their narrow core repertoire and so utterly contrary to contemporary fashions. Yet three near-capacity audiences were plainly both surprised and enthralled by the music, and many members of the public expressed a desire to hear more.

Abstract:
Judith Weir (b.1954) is one of Britain's leading composers. Her three full-length operas (A Night at the Chinese Opera, The Vanishing Bridegroom and Blond Eckbert) have been widely performed in Britain and abroad. Since the 1990s she has had a fruitful association with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and its sister group, the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group (BCMG). Weir's theatre work includes collaborations with the Royal National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company. Her interest in community music projects included an innovative spell of six years as the Artistic Director of the Spitalfields Festival in London. Recent works include the orchestral piece The Welcome Arrival of Rain for the Minnesota Orchestra, heard at the Proms in 2002, and the ensemble work The Tiger Under the Table for the London Sinfonietta.

Abstract:
On 21 August the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Andris Nelsons, gave the first UK Performance of Emily Howard's Calculus of the Nervous System. The work is the concluding panel of a triptych (the earlier ones are called Ada sketches and Mesmerism), which is a tribute to Ada Lovelace (1815–52), the daughter of Lord Byron who, as a collaborator with Charles Babbage on his Analytical Engine, is sometimes considered the world's first computer programmer. The title is that of the mathematical model that Lovelace hoped to develop to demonstrate how, as Howard writes, ‘the brain gives way to thought, and nerves to feeling’. Howard conceived Calculus of the Nervous System as a series of ‘memories’, whose structure is ‘a neural network with its roots in strictly engineered time … using values from one source (an exponential equation and its derivative), subsequently muddled and reordered by chance processes’. The memories are linked in some way that is not clear and not explained by the quotations from Sir Geoffrey Hills's Clavics which appear in the score (but which are not in any way audible or able to be apprehended by anyone without a score).

Abstract:
The Symphony Orchestra of India (SOI) is India's only professional symphony orchestra. In this paper, I explore the roles and meanings of the SOI. First, I situate it locally within its home city of Mumbai, positioning it within discourses of social class, status, and globally-minded aspiration. I argue that local values and ideologies surrounding professional musicianship compromise attempts to embed orchestral musicking in the city. I then move on to place the SOI within discourses of nation building, questioning the role of the orchestra as a marker of national development. I suggest that Mumbai's transnational middle class and elite communities, as well as the SOI's multinational corporate donors, consider investment in an orchestra a part of India's wider political and economic development. I point to tensions that are created as India's local and national government resist the notion of the orchestra as a marker of modernity and instead champion Indian arts and cultures as foundational to India's nationhood. Finally, I explore the SOI's transnational networks, looking at its role within cultural diplomacy and soft power. I show that, whilst the SOI has made significant steps in 'reaching out' and finding a place within transnational cultural networks, its efforts are hampered by its failure to 'stand out'; to forge its own national identity as an Indian symphony orchestra.

Abstract:
The world première of Dominic Muldowney's Second Piano Concerto on 7 November came as part of a concert marking the 80th birthday of the BBC. The work was fashioned for Angela Hewitt, who was accompanied by the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Leonard Slatkin. Hewitt's core repertoire of Bach, Ravel and Messiaen was reflected in the style of Muldowney's new piece, which married Classical with neo-Classical idioms yet at the same time sounded thoroughly post-modern in its cheerful eclecticism, witty sidesteps and theatrical leaps of imagination.

This research presents a comprehensive approach towards the administration, programming and marketing strategies of Kaohsiung City Symphony Orchestra (KCSO), thru integrating the findings from literatures analysis, in depth interview with experts and the surveys. This framework has also successfully propounded the thinking logic in dealing futurity and the prevailing strategies to makes itself a stringent evocation not only towards KCSO but its superior, the Kaohsiung City Government. This research results in the following conclusions: 1. In terms of managerial operation of the orchestra, the subjects "The enhancement of the orchestra performance quality", "The necessity of a guest conductor" and "The necessity of a musical director" attract more attentions from surveyors. 2. In terms of strategically operation of the orchestra, the subjects "Marketing issue" and "The way to access an international link" are mostly emphasized by surveyors. In addition, this research offers tactics to evoke the attention of KCSO, and its superior, onto its managerial and strategically operations: (1) To strengthen the Kaohsiung City Symphony Orchestra Foundation (abbreviated as Foundation) and to build up a glue tie between the boards of the Foundation and KCSO. (2) To set up the place of Musical Director, or Artistic Director, so to broaden the international tie and enrich the performance of the KCSO. (3) To set up the place of Guest Conductor, preserving 60% of the performances for guest''s batons. (4) To organize the annual ''Kaohsiung Music Festival'' or ''Love River Festival'' to make KCSO better renowned. (5) To brand KCSO and spread its contact with all ages via publishing medium, such as CD, DVD and periodical, and to promote musical education, such as hosting a summer camp. (6) To organize an international music competition biennially to create an international roster of artist and so the international visibility of KCSO. (7) To boost the ticketing through exploring new repertoires and venture a cartel with associated business could result in a leap in tickets sold. (8) To establish an efficient and effective rulebook as the guidance of a dutiful operations of KCSO. (9) To rely on the strengths of the Foundation and the city government sectors as the front line of marching for the vision.

Abstract:
This volume contains interviews with twenty-six of the most prominent oboists from around the world. The chapters are in prose format and highlight different aspects of each musician’s career, focusing on musicianship and pedagogy in ways that are applicable to all musicians. The interviews contain topics such as creating musical interpretations and shaping phrases, the relationship of vocal to instrumental music, taking orchestral auditions, and being a good ensemble player/colleague. The subjects describe their pedagogy and their thoughts on breathing and support on wind instruments, developing finger technique, and creating a useful warm-up routine. The oboists discuss their ideals in reed making, articulation, and vibrato. They also share stories from their lives and careers. The oboists and English hornists profiled from North America are Pedro Diaz, Elaine Douvas, and Nathan Hughes (Metropolitan Opera Orchestra); John Ferrillo (Boston Symphony Orchestra); Carolyn Hove (Los Angeles Philharmonic); Richard Killmer (Eastman School); Nancy Ambrose King (University of Michigan); Frank Rosenwein and Robert Walters (Cleveland Orchestra); Humbert Lucarelli (soloist); Grover Schiltz (formerly Chicago Symphony); Eugene Izotov (San Francisco Symphony, originally from Russia); Allan Vogel (Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra retired); David Weiss (formerly Los Angeles Philharmonic); Randall Wolfgang (New York City Ballet and formerly Orpheus Chamber Orchestra); Alex Klein (Brazil, formerly Chicago Symphony and currently Calgary, Canada); and Sarah Jeffrey, Toronto Symphony Orchestra. The performers based in Europe are Neil Black, Nicholas Daniel, and Gordon Hunt (England); Maurice Bourgue and David Walter (France); Thomas Indermühle (Switzerland); László Hadady (Hungary and France); and Omar Zoboli (Italy). From Australia is Diana Doherty of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on Kernis's music in the years 1995–2001. In 1995, the American Academy of Arts and Letters honored Kernis with a $7,500 prize to facilitate a recording. During the following five years, Kernis would continue down the “road of excess,” churning out new works at a prodigious rate. In the summer of 1995, Kernis appeared for the first time as one of the featured composers at the Cabrillo Music Festival in Santa Cruz, California—a two-week contemporary music extravaganza held annually since 1963. Commissions also added to Kernis's increasing renown—he received one in August 1995 from the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra for an arrangement of piano music, another in September from the Birmingham Bach Choir for a short choral work, and a third in October from the Chicago Symphony for a choral symphony. Meanwhile, Kernis was frantically working on the Double Concerto for Violin and Guitar, which continued to give him trouble.
