SUMMARY:Pianist Vicki Ray: Concert Curation IS Composition!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the first of six workshops as part of the Modal Interchange: Conversations on 21st-Century Performance Practices series with Vicki Ray\, a Los Angeles based composer and pianist\, who will join Wendy Richman in a conversation about concert programming and commissioning new works. \nConcert Curation IS Composition! \nEvery musician presenting a concert is: a composer! In this talk I’ll explore different ways to think about concert programming and how the works you program constitute a meta-composition. Using musical examples I’ll explore the way connections between worlds – musical and otherwise – can create fresh\, interesting juxtapositions that challenge (and hopefully delight!) the performer as well as the listener. Folded into this approach is the opportunity to commission new works that can tie previously unrelated pieces together and expand the repertoire of our instrument. \nBio \nDescribed as “phenomenal and fearless” Vicki Ray is a pianist\, improviser and composer. She has commissioned and premiered countless new works by today’s leading composers. Ray is a founding member of Piano Spheres and was\, for many years\, the head of keyboard studies at the California Institute of the Arts where she was named the first recipient of the Hal Blaine Chair in Musical Performance. She has appeared on numerous international festivals and was a regular member of the faculty at the Bang On a Can Summer Festival at MASS MoCA. Ray has been featured on the Los Angeles Philharmonic Green Umbrella Series as soloist and collaborative artist. Her widely varied performing and recording career covers the gamut of new and old music: from Boulez to Reich\, Wadada Leo Smith to Beethoven. Notable recordings include the first Canadian disc of Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire with the Blue Rider Ensemble\, the premiere recordings of Steve Reich’s You Are (Variations) and the Daniel Variations with the Los Angeles Master Chorale and the first recording of John Cage’s Europeras 3 and 4. Her recording of Cage’s The Ten Thousand Things on Microfest Records received 2013 Grammy nomination. Vicki can also be seen playing the chromelodeon in the Los Angeles based PARTCH ensemble. Vicki Ray is a Steinway artist. \nMore about Modal Interchange: Conversations on 21st-Century Performance Practices \nThe personality of Los Angeles’s new music scene mirrors its city’s culture and geography as a whole: equal parts diversity and decentralization\, in a battle for recognition and relevance that crisscrosses 650 freeway miles. The Modal Interchange series casts a wide net around LA’s new music community\, hosting a diverse group of individuals who might not otherwise share the same artistic and academic spaces\, in a series of lecture-workshops geared to an audience of performers. \nModal Interchange is a series of six workshops through 2026-27. Each workshop focuses on an element of 21st-century performing\, programming\, and music-making in the world of contemporary music\, with special focus on the topics’ relevance in greater LA: histories of experimental music and the avant-garde\, commissioning new works\, concert programming\, listening as an audience member\, listening as a performer\, score-reading and part-marking\, learning and practicing contemporary works\, improvisation practices\, and arts activism. \nThis series is conceived and hosted by violist Wendy Richman and produced in partnership with the UCLA Center for Musical Humanities. Dr. Richman is Lecturer in Performance Studies\, Director of uclaFLUX\, and a founding member of the International Contemporary Ensemble. \nFor the full schedule\, please visit our website: https://schoolofmusic.ucla.edu/modal-interchange-conversations-on-21st-century-performance-practices/

SUMMARY:Sound Communities: How Ethnomusicology Can Make the World a Better Place
DESCRIPTION:Huib Schippers argues that the history of ethnomusicology shows an organic development towards public-facing work\, and discusses the skill sets needed in the field to improve lives through music. \nAbstract:\nAn interesting thing happened to ethnomusicology on its way to the 21st century. While beginnings in the 1800s kept it carefully away from direct interaction with the people who make music\, culture and context became increasingly important in the second half of the 20th century. Towards 2000\, an awareness had dawned that the musicians we work with and their communities perhaps should be at the center of our efforts. This first manifested as “giving back” research outputs (such as recordings) to the community\, and later expanded into working with communities on an equal footing to serve their agendas in and through music. \nIn this talk\, I will argue that this very short history constitutes an organic development towards public-facing work\, and discuss how applied ethnomusicologists require new skill sets to engage successfully with an exciting range of contemporary applied work in the realms of social justice\, health\, institutions\, media\, cultural sustainability and crisis recovery. \nBio:\nHuib Schippers is one of the world’s leading scholars on the crossroads of music education\, community music\, music industry\, cultural diversity\, and sustainability. In over three decades of leadership roles in arts and academia\, he founded the World Music School in Amsterdam (1990-1996)\, the World Music & Dance Centre in Rotterdam (2001-2006)\, and Queensland Conservatorium Research Centre in Australia (2003-2015). Next\, he directed Smithsonian Folkways Recordings (2016-2020)\, served as UC Regents’ Professor at UCLA (2022) and as Visiting Professor at CCOM in Beijing (2023). In 2025\, he was proclaimed Distinguished Changjiang Professor and became Founding Director of the International Centre for Cultural Sustainability at Zhaoqing University in China. Schippers has initiated applied projects on five continents and published over 200 publications for scholarly and general audiences\, mostly on cultural diversity\, artistic research\, systems of learning\, and cultural sustainability\, including Facing the Music: Shaping Music Education from a Global Perspective (Oxford University Press (OUP)\, 2010); Sustainable Futures for Music Cultures (OUP\, 2016) and Music\, Communities\, Sustainability (OUP\, 2022). https://huibschippers.org/

SUMMARY:Kinnara Gagaku in Concert
DESCRIPTION:Kinnara was formed in 1969 by Rev. Masao Kodani and several members of Senshin Buddhist Temple and includes a Gagaku group of 15-20 musicians and dancers and a Taiko group. It sponsors study groups and conducts seminars on Buddhist culture and performing arts. \nGagaku is the oldest existing tradition of orchestral music and dance in the world\, representing the court music and dance of ancient Asia (central Asia\, southeast Asia\, India\, China\, Manchuria\, Korea\, and Japan). It is the collective music of these areas up to the 10th century and as early as the beginning of the common era. This music is preserved and performed to this day in Japan and\, to a lesser degree\, in Korea. In Japan\, it became part of the liturgical music and dance of our Jodoshinshu sect in the 17th century and has been performed in our temples in America since the early 1900s. \nKinnara had the rare opportunity to study gagaku under the guidance of Professor Suenobu Togi\, emeritus professor of the Department of Ethnomusicology at UCLA and musician in the Imperial Household Department of Court Music in Japan. He taught the group from 1969-2010. Kinnara Gagaku continues to perform at various temples for special services\, as well as at cultural centers and universities. In October 2023\, Kinnara Gagaku performed at Walt Disney Hall in downtown Los Angeles for the celebration of their 20th anniversary. https://senshintemple.org/groups/kinnara/ \nThis concert is presented in conjunction with the symposium “Music Alive in the Archive: Legacy and Promise–65 Years of the UCLA Ethnomusicology Archive\,” a two-day event in celebration of the 65th anniversary of the UCLA Ethnomusicology Archive. \nCo-sponsored by the Hiroshi Wagatsuma Memorial Faculty Grant from the UCLA Asia Pacific Center\, the UCLA Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance\, the UCLA Ethnomusicology Archive\, the UCLA Department of Ethnomusicology\, and the Dean’s Office\, UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music.

SUMMARY:Dawn Norfleet: Beyond Being Alice Coltrane and Betty Davis
DESCRIPTION:UCLA Nazir Ali Jairazhboy Colloquium\nDawn Norfleet: Beyond Being Alice Coltrane and Betty Davis \nAs the centennial celebrations of John Coltrane and Miles Davis reach sunset\, we will shine light on the unique artistry of two exceptional musicians\, Alice McLeod Coltrane and Betty Gray Mabry Davis.  These women played significant roles in the lives and music of jazz luminaries John and Miles during their brief marriages; even more importantly\, they were impactful music and culture creators whose full recognition may have been overshadowed by their iconic husbands until recent years.  Beyond being John’s collaborator\, Alice Coltrane was a music visionary fusing improvisation\, jazz\, gospel\, and Indian traditions in her compositions and recordings. Her Hindu devotees honored her as and Hindu spiritual leader\, Swamini A.C. Turiyasangitananda.  Beyond being “Miles’ muse”\, Betty Gray Mabry was a trailblazing Black female rocker\, songwriter\, and bandleader at the height of the Soul Era. Her raspy voice and raunchy lyrics expressed an overt sexuality and aggressive performativity that was presumed the domain of white male rock artists\, while also being considered too provocative for many Black listeners influenced by aesthetics of gospel and Motown.  We will not only discuss the strong impact Alice and Betty had on the musical direction of John and Miles\, but also\, how these women were cultural catalysts on the merits of their own artistry.

SUMMARY:David L. Abell Piano Master Series – Elizabeth Schumann
DESCRIPTION:Join the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music as we welcome pianist Elizabeth Schumann for the Fall installment of our 2026/27 David L. Abell Piano Master Series\, a concert series which features renowned artists visiting UCLA to perform and work with our piano students. \n  \nAbout Elizabeth Schumann:\nDr. Elizabeth Schumann is a concert pianist\, educator\, and interdisciplinary artist whose work spans leading concert halls\, public art initiatives\, and research at the intersection of the arts\, technology\, and human performance. Described by The Washington Post as “deft\, relentless\, and devastatingly good—the sort of performance you experience not so much with your ears as your solar plexus\,” she approaches the concert stage as a place where artistry and inquiry meet\, offering audiences experiences that link music with the broader human story. \n​ \nAs a recitalist\, chamber musician\, and concerto soloist\, she has performed at the Kennedy Center\, Vienna’s Bösendorfer Saal\, Weill at Carnegie Hall\, Montreal’s Place des Arts\, San Francisco’s Davies Symphony Hall\, Los Angeles’ Walt Disney Concert Hall\, the Musical Instruments Museum in Phoenix\, Ravinia’s Rising Stars Series\, Australia’s Huntington Festival\, the Cannes Film Festival\, and the Gilmore International Keyboard Festival. Her performances have been featured on NPR’s Performance Today\, PBS\, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation\, and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Honors include the Gilmore Young Artist Award\, first prizes at the Bösendorfer and Pacific International Piano Competitions\, and awards at the Cleveland\, Hilton Head\, Montreal\, and World International Piano Competitions. \n​ \nHer portfolio extends beyond traditional concert work to collaborative projects that place music in fresh contexts. She has developed touring productions that integrate performance with narrative and visual design\, large-scale public installations that transform city spaces into concert venues\, and educational programs for children and underserved communities that pair music with literature and live storytelling. These include Piano Carnival\, which grew from a 15-city tour into a book\, CD\, and interactive applications reaching more than 20\,000 students and teachers; Son et Lumière\, premiered at Boston’s Illuminus Festival and later commissioned for the Pike & Rose Audio Visual Arts Festival\, attracting audiences of over 8\,000; and Pianimal\, a concert and video series presented across the United States and distributed to children’s hospitals through partnerships with leading arts organizations. Across these projects\, her aim is to allow audiences to meet music on their own terms and to experience its power without barriers of price or pretense. Her work has also reached international audiences through U.S. Embassy cultural diplomacy programs\, building connections and mutual understanding through performance. \n​ \nCarrying on the pedagogical tradition of her teacher\, Sergei Babayan\, Dr. Schumann has taught at Winter and Summer Performing Arts at The Juilliard School\, Itzhak Perlman’s Perlman Music Program\, the Crowden Chamber Music Workshop\, and the Vancouver Piano Sessions. She is the Billie Bennett Director of Keyboard Studies and Assistant Professor of Music at Stanford University\, where she combines conservatory-level training with insights from neuroscience\, psychology\, and biomechanics to help pianists achieve expressive freedom while minimizing injury risk. At Stanford\, her research examines how physiology\, pedagogy\, and instrument design shape performance\, with applications that extend beyond the arts to fields such as medicine\, rehabilitation\, and human performance science. \n​ \nThrough collaborations that unite artists\, scientists\, and community leaders\, Dr. Schumann expands how people encounter and engage with music. Her work demonstrates how these connections can open new possibilities\, deepen understanding\, and inspire contributions that reach beyond the concert hall.

SUMMARY:UCLA Philharmonia: The "Don Quixote" Experience
DESCRIPTION:Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams — this may be madness. Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is\, and not as it should be! \n– Don Quixote \nImmerse yourself in the fantastical world of Don Quixote\, where comic misadventures\, tender moments and heroic dreams come vividly to life in Richard Strauss’s dazzling tone poem. As the Don\, UCLA Philharmonia welcomes our new Professor of Cello Ben Hong in his Philharmonic debut\, alongside his trusty sidekick Sancho Panza (aka UCLA Professor of Viola Che-Yen Chen). \nBefore intermission\, we’ll do a deep dive into the novel and the tone poem with Prof. Hong\, UCLA Distinguished Professor Barbara Fuchs (one of the world’s leading Cervantes scholars) and our Philharmonia musicians. All hail the Knight Errant!
