Dark in the Song
Dark in the Song Performs at 21 Sounds Series
| Date: | Wednesday, June 16, 2010 |
| Time: | 7:30pm - 9:00pm |
| Location: | The White Mule |
| Street: | 1540 Main St. |
| City/Town: | Columbia, SC |
What: 21 Sounds concert series
Who: Dark in the Song contemporary bassoon collective
When: Wednesday, June 16 (7:30-9 p.m.)
Where: The White Mule (1540 Main St., 661-8199)
Why: To present contemporary classical music in a nontraditional venue
How much: $5
A bassoon played through guitar effects pedals? A piece for bassoon and ghetto blaster? Contemporary classical music in a rock club?
The answer to all of the above — absolutely.
Fresh off the successful launch of the 21 Sounds series in April — at which a packed crowd came out to hear locally composed music at a nontraditional venue, The White Mule — the series presents its second installment on Wednesday, June 16.
On the bill: five world-class bassoonists who together make up Dark in the Song. Among them are Michael Harley of Alarm Will Sound, a leading new music ensemble based in New York City; and Rachael Elliott of the indie classical group Clogs.
On the program: exciting works from Pulitzer Prize-winning composer David Lang (Press Release, 1991), Dutch "avant-pop" composer Jacob Ter Veldius and an unofficial world premiere from Baltimore-based microtonal composer David Smooke. Also on the program are works by local composers Tayloe Harding (dean of the USC School of Music) and George Fetner (whose Black Lion features guitar effects pedals and was performed to great acclaim at the first 21 Sounds concert in April).

25th-annual Conductors Institute to take stage at the Koger Center
For 25 years, the Conductors Institute of South Carolina has been on the “must do” list for young aspiring and experienced conductors alike.
The Conductors Institute will be open daily to the public for observation, beginning June 7 from 9 a.m. to noon (fellows conduct) and from 1:30 to 4 p.m. (associates conduct) at the Koger Center. No sessions will be held June 13.
The Institute for Fellows and Associates will be held from June 6 to 19. Directed by Donald Portnoy, conductor and music director of the USC Symphony Orchestra, the program is for conductors with moderate to advanced conducting skills. Fellows and associates study with Portnoy and guest conductors and composers.
Both fellows and associates are guaranteed podium time every day. Fellows work with the institute ensemble during morning sessions. Associates work with a chamber orchestra in afternoon sessions. On Friday afternoons, both groups work with a full orchestra. The Discovery Program will be held from June 9 to 19.
Directed by Manuel Alvarez, former dean of the School of Music, the program is for conductors with limited conducting experience. Each week, participants will work with a string quartet in afternoon conducting sessions. Participants are also required to observe morning sessions and the late afternoon lecture series.
Other guest conductors and composers are Libby Larsen, composer (string orchestra session, June 7–10); Peter Jaffe, conductor (string orchestra session, June 7–10); Dick Goodwin, composer (chamber orchestra session, June 11–15); Guillermo Scarabino of Argentina, conductor (chamber orchestra session, June 11–15); Samuel Jones, composer/ conductor (orchestra session, June 16–19); and Paul Vermel, conductor (orchestra session, June 16–19).
The Conductors Institute draws participants from the United States and numerous foreign countries. Students
receive tutorials from conductors and composers who have experience in the commercial, academic, and professional worlds of music.
The guest conductors and composers are aware of what it takes to succeed in a tough, competitive field, and they are willing to share their knowledge and expertise. The Conductors Institute has been successful for so many years because it offers daily podium time to every individual in the program. The institute also focuses on the details of conducting and opportunities for conductors to enhance their skills and achieve a greater command of their orchestral forces.
Veteran conductors offer constructive criticism and encouragement. There are no mirrors and no recorded music. Each day, as their peers observe, conductors have the opportunity to conduct professional musicians who know the scores intimately. At the end of each day, conductors receive a video of their performance to study and to assist them in preparing for another day at the podium.

Two incredible performances
I have to hand it to the Japanese, they're doing something right with their music education programs. Watch below as a high school band plays "Harrison's Dream," which by most accounts is a college-level piece.
Also incredibly impressive is this elementary age band performing "Slava!" from memory.
Thanks to Music Library staff member Joe Henderson and twitter friend Joe Tomasso for links to these videos!
