GRADUATE VOCAL ARTS PROGRAM

about every student, a small class size that feels like a family, and an innovative curriculum built to address the ever-changing needs of today’s singer. But what makes the Vocal Arts Program unique among other music programs is that it asks the provocative questions: “Where do YOU want to go? What kind of artist do YOU want to be?” Bard takes the time to encourage each student to find their unique artistry and then gives students the tools to express that artistry to the fullest. I left Bard not just as a better singer but as a more fully realized artist and human being, and I thank Bard every time I open my mouth to sing. —Matthew Morris ’12

Dawn Upshaw is a pioneering operatic and concert artist of her generation, moving away early on from a career engineered and imagined by others to emerge triumphantly with her own preeminent stature and renown, personal and artistic integrity, and a repertoire of eclectic and demanding masterpieces written specifically for her by the leading composers of her time. In her Bard program,

Letter from the Artistic Director Dear Prospective Student, I am very happy to learn of your interest in the Graduate Vocal Arts Program at The Bard College Conservatory of Music. A great benefit of creating this program is that it allowed me to design a course of study that draws not only on my practical experience as a singer and performer but also on my values and the values I have found compelling in the work of singers, composers, conductors, and other creative figures with whom I have been associated. As you look over the curriculum, you will be able to identify many of the things that I think are crucial to developing a life in music. You will notice, as have the many young singers Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked with in master classes around the country, that I believe text should form a central point of departure in singing. I think of singing as fundamentally theatrical in nature. I am eager to broaden your resources and perspectives at a time when our musical culture offers so many new horizons to explore, and I intend our graduates to be well informed about the practical aspects of their craft. But even more than a reflection of my interests and priorities, the program is ultimately about you. It provides you with a range of experience that will help you identify your strengths, understand more clearly what you need to say, and learn what you can bring to musical life that no one else can. The course work is designed to support you in this. You will have weekly voice lessons, diction and repertory courses, training in acting, and opportunities to work with music of all kinds: established repertory, operatic works, scores with ink still wet on the page, popular song, folk song. Those of you with interests running even further afield will find that other programs of Bard College have much to offer. Finally, the Core Seminar provides you with a forum for tying together these diverse skills. As for performing opportunities, The Bard College Conservatory of Music begins by offering dazzling facilities for public performanceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;especially the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts. Opera will form a key component of your experience through a staged production in which you will work alongside noteworthy directors and designers. In keeping with the goal of imparting a breadth of experience, however, there is an equal emphasis on opportunities to work with composers and chamber musicians, and a special seminar is dedicated to the preparation of your graduation recital. I hope you will consider joining us at Bard. Dawn Upshaw

I came to Bard to develop my interpretive voice and discovered a free space to explore, experiment, reflect, and ultimately, play. Bard provides a landscape for the imagination—an expansive environment in the literal and figurative sense. —Julia Bullock ’11

The Bard College Conservatory of Music

Graduate Vocal Arts Program The Graduate Vocal Arts Program at The Bard College Conservatory of Music is a unique twoyear master of music program in vocal performance. Conceived and led by renowned American soprano Dawn Upshaw, the program aims to inspire and help prepare the young singer in the pursuit of a rewarding professional life in music in the 21st century. Each class consists of a select group of singers, chosen through an audition process that includes a CD screening and live audition. The small number of students in the program ensures that each singer receives the individual attention and support that can reveal and nurture the singing artist. The intimate and supportive community of the Vocal Arts Program (VAP), combined with Bard’s tranquil setting on the Hudson River, allows the young singer the time and space to explore the unique nature of his or her artistic talents. Upshaw is on campus regularly. She works with students in individual coaching sessions and master classes. Upshaw is integrally involved in the growth of all the students, developing individual relationships with them in order to help them realize their full potential. She and the entire VAP faculty work together to set an inspirational tone for the exploration and discovery of a wide range of musical styles. Distinctions earned by graduates of the program include: Winning Metropolitan Opera National Council auditions and Astral Artists National Auditions, Joy in Singing Debut Artist Award, and Palm Beach Opera Vocal Competition Admission to the Santa Fe Opera Apprentice Program for Singers, Los Angeles Opera DomingoThornton Young Artist Program, Lyric Opera of Chicago–Ryan Opera Center Ensemble, Merola Opera Program at the San Francisco Opera, and Utah Opera Apprentice Artists Program Appearances with the American Symphony Orchestra, Portland Baroque Orchestra, Cincinnati May Festival, Peter Brook’s production of Mozart’s Magic Flute, and Bard SummerScape Acceptances to graduate programs at Curtis Institute of Music, The Juilliard School, and New England Conservatory, among others Summer festival attendance at the Aldeburgh Festival’s Britten-Pears Young Artist Programme, Aspen Music Festival and School, Chautauqua Music Festival, Music Academy of the West, SongFest, and Tanglewood Music Center, among others

Curriculum The program’s innovative curriculum centers on the Core Seminar and is led by Upshaw in conjunction with Associate Director Kayo Iwama. The seminar focuses on topics that address different aspects of the singing life. Students delve into an intensive study of a diverse repertory under the guidance of Upshaw, Iwama, and guest-artist teachers. Sample units covered in Core Seminar have included Dickinson, Goethe, and Verlaine; Singing and Song in the Global Era; Creating Unique Performance Opportunities; The Singer and the Stage. Course work also includes: Voice lessons—Private weekly lessons in New York City with VAP voice teachers Vocal coaching—Weekly private sessions with Iwama, and additional private sessions with Upshaw Alexander Technique lessons—Individual tutorials, with a special focus on the breath Acting Workshop—This workshop meets weekly, giving students an opportunity to focus solely on the acting component of performing. In a studio setting, students work on a variety of theatrical texts selected to address the particular needs of each performer. Diction and Phonetics Workshop—Advanced study of the diction of the languages most commonly used by singers. German, Italian, and French diction are studied, with additional units in other

languages such as Russian, Spanish, or English. This workshop includes some attention to the physiology of the voice in order to create a better understanding of how diction relates to the production of sound. Language Translation Workshop—This workshop develops translation skills, reading facility, and general cultural awareness of the three main languages used by singers: French, German, and Italian. Taught by Bard College language professors, the workshop meets weekly in three of the four semesters of the Vocal Arts Program curriculum. Chamber Music—This vocal chamber music workshop is offered in connection with the chamber music component of the Conservatory program. Students are encouraged to include at least one chamber work as part of their graduation recital. Movement Workshop—A survey of improvisation, thinking in action, and embodiment, supported by a range of movement practices that attune performers to efficient, intentional, and supple action. The weekly class includes work with breath as the physiological support for all life processes, somatic work, and contact improvisation. Students also study group improvisation structures that build group responsiveness and fearlessness in performing. Professional Development Workshop—Topics include the art of collaboration, identification and creation of performance opportunities, engagement with a broader community, and the development of a life in music. Special guests from the professional artistic and business world speak on their various areas of expertise. The workshop meets weekly in the spring semester. bard.edu/vap 5

My time at Bard taught me that I don’t have to fit into a mold, that I don’t have to be what people think I should be. I was given the tools to discover what kind of artist I am, and the time to find and develop my own voice, both on and off stage. —Jeffrey Hill ’11

Performance Throughout the course of the program, each singer is offered opportunities to perform with orchestra, in chamber music, and in song. Students perform on campus, in the artistically rich community of the Upper Hudson Valley, and in the New York City metropolitan area. These performances culminate in the graduation recital, given in the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final semester of study. In alternate years a fully staged opera production is presented at The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College, a state-of-the-art facility designed by the celebrated architect Frank Gehry. The opera production presents a world premiere opera, commissioned for the singers in the Vocal Arts Program and paired with a work drawn from the standard repertory. The students also have the opportunity to perform as soloists in the masterworks of the oratorio repertory in performances with the Bard College Conservatory Orchestra and the American Symphony Orchestra. Vocal Arts Program students have participated in renowned Bard SummerScape opera productions. Additional special programs and performances have included the Singer-Composer Workshop, a collaboration between singers and young composers that culminates in performances in New York City and Boston.

From Ravel’s L’enfant et les sortilèges

Dawn Upshaw Joining a rare natural warmth with a fierce commitment to the transforming, communicative power of music, Upshaw, artistic director of the Vocal Arts Program, has achieved worldwide celebrity as a singer of opera and concert repertoire ranging from the sacred works of Bach to the freshest sounds of today. Her ability to reach to the heart of music and text has earned her both the devotion of an exceptionally diverse audience, and the awards and distinctions accorded to only the most distinguished of artists. In 2007, she was named a Fellow of the MacArthur Foundation, the first vocal artist to be awarded one of its five-year “genius” fellowships, and in 2008 she was named a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Her acclaimed performances on the opera stage comprise the great Mozart roles (Pamina, Ilia, Susanna, Despina) as well as modern works by Stravinsky, Poulenc, and Messiaen. From Salzburg, Paris, and Glyndebourne to the Metropolitan Opera, where she began her career in 1984 and has since made nearly 300 appearances, Upshaw has also championed numerous new works created for her including The Great Gatsby by John Harbison; the Grawemeyer Award–winning opera L’amour de loin and oratorio La Passion de Simone by Kaija Saariaho; John Adams’s Nativity oratorio El Niño; and Osvaldo Golijov’s chamber opera Ainadamar and song cycle Ayre. A four-time Grammy Award winner, Upshaw is featured on more than 50 recordings, including the million-selling Symphony No. 3 by Henryk Górecki. Her discography also includes full-length opera recordings of Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro; Messiaen’s St.-François d’Assise; Stravinsky’s The Rake’s Progress; Adams’s El Niño; two volumes of Canteloube’s Songs of the Auvergne, and a dozen recital recordings. Her recent releases have included Three Songs for Soprano and Orchestra, the third in a series of acclaimed recordings of Golijov’s music on Deutsche Grammophon; and a new disc of music by Donnacha Dennehy on Nonesuch Records. She is also on the faculty of Tanglewood Music Center and holds honorary doctoral degrees from Yale University, the Manhattan School of Music, Illinois Wesleyan University, and Allegheny College.
