Sybarite5, stringsClassically trained to rock your world.

May 18, 2013 7:30pm

Mezzo soprano Martha Bartz accompanied by pianist Mory Ortman present a cabaret performance that will delight Valentine’s Day audiences. Martha has graced stages from the Metropolitan Room and Carnegie Hall in New York City to New Jersey’s Great Auditorium sharing her unique ability to move her beautiful silky sound seamlessly between musical art forms.

“Their rock star status in the classical crossover world is well deserved. Their classically honed technique mixed with grit and all out passionate attack transfixes the audience…” describes The Sarasota Herald Tribune. Sybarite5 stands out as the first string quintet ever selected as winners of Concert Artists Guild International Competition in its 60 year history, and is a fitting culmination to a concert season brimming with a dazzling array of musical brilliance.

Welcome to Saint Peter’s Church

In the fall of 1702, the Rev. George Keith, a missionary priest from England, gathered a small group of worshipers in a log cabin in Topanemus in present-day Marlboro Township. From these humble beginnings, St. Peter’s Church constructed this church building in 1771, and grew to become a congregation of over 600 members, offering a variety of opportunities for worship, education, fellowship, and community service. St. Peter’s Church is an Episcopal Church and a member of the Diocese of New Jersey.

St. Peter’s Church is especially active in outreach to the community. Among the programs offered are outreach dinners on alternate Friday evenings and a free lunch program at noon on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. St. Peter’s Thrift Shop (49 Throckmorton Street) is open Monday through Saturday. In addition there is an Open Door after-school program for at-risk youngsters, support for Habitat for Humanity, a men’s emergency shelter intake program, and a variety of 12 step organizations. Global outreach includes a sister relationship with a parish in the barrios of Santiago, in the Dominican Republic.

St. Peter’s is always happy to welcome guests and newcomers to any one of our services or to assist with the outreach programs.

Music at St. Peter’s Church

“I was much gratified, as I have always been, with the music . . .The music here is always in full measure, and of the best quality.”

These words, spoken by the Right Reverend George W. Doane, Bishop of New Jersey in 1846, set the stage for a long history of musical excellence at St. Peter’s Church. This commitment to music began with the installation of the first pipe organ in Monmouth County in 1841 and continued through the acquisition of a concert grade Yamaha grand piano in 2009.

The music at St. Peter’s includes a diverse group of vocal and instrumental ensembles. The Downtown Concert Series is the newest initiative in our legacy of music. This series is committed to bringing high quality musical artists to perform in central New Jersey. Historic St. Peter’s Church provides a venue that has excellent acoustics and an intimate space in which to experience these extraordinary musicians.

Please join us after the concert for an artist’s reception graciously hosted by Investors Bank in their lobby at 21 West Main Street

in downtown Freehold.

Templehouse Kibbey

Two summers ago, I flew to France to visit friends in Brittany. Winding our way down the coast, we discovered Lorient, a town bustling with some of the best Celtic talent from Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and of course, Brittany – all coming together for the Festival Interceltique de Lorient. What a find!

Aside from drinking great beer and listening to fabulous bands, we spent every night joining hundreds of local Bretons, packed into massive halls to dance to traditional pipers or bands in large circles, arm-in-arm. With each new reel or change in the music, the locals instinctively changed their steps to a new regional dance. I was in shock. Citizens of all ages knew these complicated steps, and joyously danced away the nights, celebrating their region. I was schooled by the eighty-three-year-old woman to my right wearing stilettos. With a proud gleam in her eye, she firmly grasped my arm, yelling, “Comme ça!!”

With sore feet and a heavy dose of whimsy, I walked away from the festival having witnessed folk music and dance as powerful means to creating and celebrating one’s community…

I came home with this music fresh in my ears and decided to try my hand at arranging a couple reels – Templehouse and Mountain Road. But, more than that, I decided to create a project that would showcase the native music of some of my very own NYC neighbors: composers born in other countries who have immigrated to the United States, weaving their rich cultural backgrounds into the American fabric.

My hope was two-fold: that audiences would have a whimsical taste of these cultures, much like my experience in Brittany; and two, using their own folk heritage as a springboard, that each composer would stretch the boundaries of the harp, creating new solo works for the instrument.

Welcome to Music Box!

I hope you enjoy encountering the harp and each of these cultures as much as I have.

A note from Bridget:

Winner, 2007 CAG CompetitionRecipient, 2004 Avery Fisher Career Grant

Harpist Bridget Kibbey’s vital performances display the varied and unique abilities of this fantastic instrument, ranging from baroque to folk, to collaborations with singer/songwriters and world musicians, to commissions of new works from today’s composers. As hailed by The New York Times, “…she made it seem as though her instrument had been waiting all its life to explode with the gorgeous colors and energetic

figures she was getting from it.” Ms. Kibbey has been further lauded for her “blazing power and finesse,” as “a performer who seems to revel in the sheer physicality required to coax a vast range of exacting expression” and “a delight to watch and hear.”

Her debut solo disc, Love is Come Again, was named by Time Out New York as one of 2007’s Top Ten Recordings. She can also be heard on Deutsche Grammophon with Dawn Upshaw, in a recording of Berio’s Folk Songs and Osvaldo Golijov’s Ayre. Ms. Kibbey’s second solo album, Music Box, is scheduled for release in 2012. Featuring new works from Paquito D’Rivera, Du Yun, Susie Ibarra and David Bruce, among others, this CD spotlights composers who have ventured to the US and pays tribute to the cultures they have brought with them. In anticipation of this recording, Ms. Kibbey premiered this Music Box program in January 2012 with two performances at New York’s (Le) Poisson Rouge, as the inaugural concerts of the Metropolis Ensemble’s Resident Artist Series.

In 2012-13, Ms. Kibbey performs as concerto soloist with the Brazilian State Orchestra in Porto Alegre, and in Florida with both the Pensacola Symphony and Atlantic Classical Orchestra, and will be featured with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center live and on NPR. She performs

and records the world premier of a new work by luminary Kaija Saariaho at Houston’s Rothko Chapel, and joins the International Contemporary Ensemble for solo and chamber works at Cité de la Musique in Paris. She makes her debut at the Savannah Music Festival, and will be featured as soloist and chamber musician at the Phillips Collection, in Boston’s Gardner Museum, Los Angeles’ Camerata Pacifica, Houston’s Da Camera, Denver’s Pendulum New Music, University of Arizona Presents, and at the Music@Menlo, Mostly Mozart, and Bay Chamber Festivals. Other recent festival appearances include Chamber Music Northwest, Ojai Music Festival and New York’s Look and Listen Festival.

Ms. Kibbey has collaborated with an array of artists in repertoire new and established, including Ian Bostridge, Claire Chase, David Krakauer, Jaime Laredo, Edgar Meyer, Mayumi Miyata, Cristina Pato, Sharon Robinson, Christopher Rouse, David Shifrin, Dawn Upshaw, and the Calder and Jupiter Quartets. She is frequently featured with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, is the founding harpist of the International Contemporary Ensemble and Metropolis Ensemble, and often performs with the Knights Chamber Orchestra and the world music trio MAYA.

A champion for her instrument who leads the harp to new places, Ms. Kibbey performed the American premiere of Sebastian Currier’s Broken Minuets for Harp and Strings with Symphony in C in Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center, the New York premiere of Elliott Carter’s Mosaic in Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall for the composer’s 100th Birthday, Stockhausen’s Freude (with harpist June Han) on the Works & Process series at New York’s Guggenheim Museum. Ms. Kibbey has shared an evening with singer/improvising cellist Emily Hope Price at (Le) Poisson Rouge and has recorded with The National and Antony and the Johnsons.

The harpist has been a featured soloist with the Illinois Symphony, Juilliard Symphony, Modesto Symphony, Tallahassee Symphony, Vermont Chamber Orchestra, Israel Youth Philharmonic, Princeton Symphony, Haddonfield Symphony and America’s Dream Chamber Artists, among others. Her solo performances have been broadcast on NPR’s Performance Today, WETA’s Front Row Washington, A&E’s Breakfast with the Arts and on WQXR. She has also been profiled in SYMPHONY, MUSO and Harp Column magazines.

Ms. Kibbey is the winner of an Avery Fisher Career Grant, the Concert Artists Guild International Competition, Astral Artists Auditions and Premier Prix at the International Chamber Music Competition of Arles, France (with flutist Julietta Curenton). Ms. Kibbey holds both Bachelor and Master of Music of Music degrees from The Juilliard School where she completed studies with Nancy Allen. She is on the harp faculties of Bard Conservatory, New York University and The Juilliard School Pre-College program.

The DCS committee meets on the first Tuesday of the month at St. Peter’s Church at 7:30 pm. Meetings are open to anyone interested in helping bring excellent quality musicians to downtown Freehold.

Paquito D’Rivera defies categorization. The winner of nine GRAMMY Awards, he is celebrated both for his artistry in Latin jazz and his achievements as a classical composer.

Born in Havana, Cuba, he performed at age 10 with the National Theater Orchestra, studied at the Havana Conservatory of Music and, at 17, became a featured soloist with the Cuban National Symphony. As a founding member of the Orquesta Cubana de Musica Moderna, he directed that group for two years, while at the same time playing both the clarinet and saxophone with the Cuban National Symphony Orchestra. He eventually went on to premiere several works by notable Cuban composers with the same orchestra. Additionally, he was a founding member and co-director of the innovative musical ensemble Irakere. With its explosive mixture of jazz, rock, classical and traditional Cuban music never before heard, Irakere toured extensively throughout America and Europe, won several GRAMMY nominations (1979, 1980) and a GRAMMY (1979).

His numerous recordings include more than 30 solo albums. In 1988, he was a founding member of the United Nation Orchestra, a 15-piece ensemble organized by Dizzy Gillespie to showcase the fusion of Latin and Caribbean influences with jazz. D’Rivera continues to appear as guest conductor of that group which features such artists as James Moody, Slide Hampton, Airto Moreira, Flora Purim, Jon Faddis, Steve Turre, and others. A GRAMMY was awarded the United Nation Orchestra in 1991, the same year D’Rivera received a Lifetime Achievement Award from Carnegie Hall for his contributions to Latin music. Additionally, D’Rivera’s highly acclaimed ensembles- the Chamber Jazz Ensemble, the Paquito D’Rivera Big Band, and the Paquito D’Rivera Quintet are in great demand world - wide.

While Paquito D’Rivera’s discography reflects a dedication and enthusiasm for Jazz, Bebop and Latin music, his contributions to classical music are impressive. They include solo performances with the London Philharmonic, the London Symphony Orchestra, the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, the National Symphony Orchestra, the Baltimore Symphony, the Florida Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Brooklyn Philharmonic. He has also performed with the Puerto Rico

About The Composers

Symphony Orchestra, the Costa Rica National Symphony, the Simón Bolivar Symphony Orchestra, the Bronx Arts Ensemble, and the St. Luke’s Chamber Orchestra, among others. In 2005, he began touring with guitar duo Sergio and Odair Assad, in “Dances from the New World.” In his passion to bring Latin repertoire to greater prominence, Mr. D’Rivera has successfully created, championed and promoted all types of classical compositions, including his three chamber compositions recorded live in concert with distinguished cellist Yo-Yo Ma in September 2003. The chamber work Merengue, from that live concert at Zankel Hall, was released by Sony Records and garnered Paquito his 7th GRAMMY as Best Instrumental Composition 2004.

Composer Kati Agócs was born in Windsor, Canada, of Hungarian and American background, and has been on the composition faculty of the New England Conservatory in Boston since 2008. The Boston Globe recently praised the “fluidity and austere beauty” of her music, while The New York Times has characterized it as “striking” and “filled with attractive ideas” and has described her vocal music as possessing “an almost 19th-century naturalness.” A citation from the American Academy of Arts and Letters (for the 2008 Charles Ives Fellowship) noted the “melody, drama, and clear design” of her music, its “soulful directness”, and its “naturalness of dissonance.”

Recent works include Vessel, on which she collaborated with Metropolis Ensemble as part of Meet the Composer’s Three-City Dash; Immutable Dreams, a Jerome Foundation commission which has been programmed by over eight different ensembles since its 2007 premiere, including a national tour by Eighth Blackbird; Elysium, commissioned by the National Arts Centre and performed as part of the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver; Perpetual Summer, commissioned for the National Youth Orchestra of Canada’s 50th Anniversary and awarded Special Distinction in ASCAP’s 2011 Rudolph Nissim Prize (one of only three works selected by a jury of conductors out of over 260 anonymously-submitted new orchestral scores); and Supernatural Love, a violin-piano duet described by Fanfare Magazine as “serene and unworldly, exploring space with sound in a way that seems to evoke the time before the universe hosted life.” Kati Agócs earned Doctoral and Masters degrees from The Juilliard School, where her principal teacher was Milton Babbitt, and was a fellow at the Tanglewood Music Center with the ASCAP Leonard Bernstein Fellowship.

Hailed as a “virtuoso” by the New York Times and “Incredibly Rich sound” by the CBC, Kinan Azmeh is one of Syria’s rising stars. His utterly distinctive sound across different musical genres is now fast gaining international recognition. Born in Damascus, Kinan was the first Arab to win the premier prize at the 1997 Nicolai Rubinstein International Competition, Moscow. A graduate of New York’s Juilliard School as a student of Charles Neidich, and of both the Damascus High institute of Music where he studied with Shukry Sahwki, Nicolay Viovanof and Anatoly Moratof, and Damascus University’s School of Electrical Engineering, Kinan is currently finishing his doctoral work at the City University of New York.

Kinan has appeared worldwide as a soloist, composer and improviser. Notable appearances include: Opera Bastille, Paris; Tchaikovsky Grand Hall, Moscow; Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall and the UN’s general assembly, New York; the Royal Albert hall, London; Teatro Colon, Buenos Aires; der Philharmonie; Berlin; the Library of Congress, the Kennedy Center, Washington DC; the Mozarteum, Salzburg and the Damascus opera house for its opening concert in his native Syria.

As classical Clarinetist, he has appeared as soloist with the Bavarian radio orchestra, the West- eastern Divan orchestra, the Kiev Camerata, the Corasara Orchestra, and the Syrian symphony Orchestra among others.; and has shared the stage with Marcel Khalife, Daniel Barenboim, Zakir Hussein Francois Rabbath, Solhi-al-Wadi, Manfred Leuchter, Kevork Mourad, and members of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, among others.

Compositions include several works for solo, orchestra, and chamber music; film, live illustration, and electronics. His discography includes three albums with his ensemble HEWAR, several soundtracks for film and dance, and a duo album with pianist Dinuk Wijeratne. He serves as artistic director of the Damascus Festival Chamber Music Ensemble, with whom he released an album of new contemporary Syrian chamber music written especially for the ensemble by various composers and is on the advisory board of the Nova Scotia Youth Orchestra.

Du Yun has been described as “electrifying... an attractive score ... “ “cutting-edge...to whom the term ‘young composer’ and ‘the pianist’ can hardly do justice “ (by New York Times), “ineffably quaking... stirs a scene” (by La Presse, Montréal);

“...a work loaded with subtle lament, spanning from chaotic sonorous atmosphere to structured improvisation...” (by Cervantino, Mexico), “...reconciles savageness and quietness ...” (by Volkeskrant, Amsterdam), “...the strongest impression made yet, a political statement against oppression and violence” (by De Rode Leeuw, Amsterdam), and “...one senses the exceptional ear, exploration and the results are impeccably powerful” (by Le Devoir, Montréal), Du Yun’s written compositions have been spotlighted on China’s National Radio Station, Radio-Shanghai, Radio-Canada, Radio Canada Internationale (RCI), Espace Musique 100.7 FM, FBi 94.5 (Australia), Canal 22 (Mexico), Art of the States (http://www.artofthestates.org), SinoVision (US), WFMT, WCKR and l’Union Européene de Radio-Télévision.

Recent recipient of the 2007 Fromm Foundation, in the recent years Du Yun has been granted of awards, fellowships, and commissions including from the Jerome Foundation, Meet the Composer, American Music Center, Greenwall Foundation, Lower Manhattan Council, the First Place of China National Young Composer Competition, Harvard Dissertation Completion Award, winner of the 3rd British and International Bass Forum Composition Competition (solo section), Adelbert W. Sprague Prize, the audience award of the 2004 International Composer Forum in Montréal, Canada, New Trumpet Festival of New York, and the Shanghai New Music Foundation.

Born and raised in Shanghai, China, Du Yun currently resides in New York City. She is an alumna of Shanghai Conservatory, Oberlin Conservatory (B.M.) and Harvard University (M.A., Ph.D). Her principal compositional teachers include DENG Erbo, Randolph Coleman, Bernard Rands, Joshua Fineberg, and Mario Davidovsky. She currently serves on the composition faculty at the State University of New York-Purchase.

Composer/Percussionist Susie Ibarra resides in New York and has performed as a soloist and collaborator in various configurations. Ibarra is a Vic Firth, Paiste and Yamaha Drum Artist .Ibarra composes and performs regularly with composer/percussionist Roberto Rodriguez in their eco-electronica duo Electric Kulintang, childrens world music with Mundo Niños, and chamber jazz ensemble Susie Ibarra Quartet, as well as various interdisciplinary art collaborations with poet Yusef Komunyakaa and visual artist Makoto Fujimura. She has recorded numerous works as a leader and collaborator.

Recent Works Include: Drum Sketches, solo percussion, Dialects by Electric Kulintang, Summer Fantasy and Folklore commissioned by MoMa Summergarden and Jazz at Lincoln Center, A Translation of Silk with Yusef Komunyakaa premiered at the Harlem Stage, Canciones de Cuna / Lullabies by Mundo Niños, Madre Selva a soundtrack video installation by Juan Sanchez in tribute to Ana Mendieta, Kit: Music for Four Pianists commissioned by Ars Nova Workshop, War Horses music by Electric Kulintang and poetry by Yusef Komunyakaa commissioned by Isamu Noguchi Museum, These Trees That Speak commissioned by Ethos Percussion Quartet, Pintados Dream/ The Painteds Dream a concerto for drums, visual art by Makoto Fujimura commissioned by American Composers Orchestra and premiered at Zankel Carnegie Hall.

In 2004 Ibarra began work in cultural and environmental preservation with Indigenous and children’s groups in the Philippines, US, Asia/Pacific and co-founded in 2008 Song of the Bird King. She is honored to be a TED Fellow and Asia Society Young Leaders Delegate as she continues her documentary work and public service projects towards cultural innovation and preservation.

Ibarra is currently working on several collaborations including a sound walk installation for lower Manhattan 2012, Hidden Truths, with percussionist/composer Roberto Rodriguez and Makoto Fujimura. Hidden Truths are compositions by Electric Kulintang including recordings of guest Filipino traditional artists from seven Indigenous tribes in the Philippines. Another collaboration is with Lebanese electronic conceptual artist Tarek Atoui, Visiting Tarab , new compositions inspired by archival Arabic classical Tarab music, for mixed ensemble of oriental taq and contemporary musicians in Sharjah 2012. Electric Kulintang will release a new record, Drum Codes, this season.

Born in Stamford, Connecticut in 1970, David Bruce grew up in England and now enjoys a growing reputation on both sides of the Atlantic. In the US, his third Carnegie Hall commission Steampunk (2011), follows Piosenki (2006), and Gumboots (2008) which have both gone on to be widely performed by leading ensembles around the world. His song-cycle The North Wind was a Woman was commissioned by the Lincoln Center for Dawn Upshaw for the gala opening of the Chamber Music Society of the Lincoln Center’s

2009 season. In the UK, Bruce has a new chamber opera in development with the Opera Group and ROH2, based on Philip Pullman’s story The Firework Maker’s Daughter (for a planned UK tour in Winter/Spring 2012/13); a new commission from the London Philharmonic Orchestra for their BrightSparks series; and Fire, a new work for massed choir, horns and fire artist, one of 20 ‘20x12’ commissions celebrating the Cultural Olympiad.

In great demand as a composer, Bruce continues to work with some of the world’s leading musicians. In August 2011 violinist Daniel Hope together with the David Orlowsky Trio and cellist Vincent Segal premiered his 45 minute chamber work The Given Note, co- commissioned by the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival, Germany and the Savannah Festival USA; and for 2012 Bruce is working on a new commission from Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble.

Bruce’s music draws inspiration from folk-traditions from around the world. He particularly enjoys collaborating with musicians who have strong connections with both classical and folk/world traditions, such as accordionist Michael Ward-Bergeman, mandolinist Avi Avital and clarinettist David Orlowsky. Bruce also enjoys close working relationships with some of the finest musicians of the younger generation including Ensemble ACJW; harpist Bridget Kibbey; the grammy-nominated Metropolis Ensemble in New York; Chroma in the UK; and Art of Elan in San Diego (whose commission The Eye of Night was premiered in Jan 2011 and will shortly be recorded).
