WELCOME TO CCM

In describing this exceptional institution, often we refer to “the University of Cincinnati’s nationally ranked and internationally renowned College-Conservatory of Music.” Given our history of bold innovation, College-Conservatory of Music is something of a misnomer. Fully half of CCM’s programs of study are in fields other than, but related to, classical music: Dance – CCM was the first American conservatory to offer formal training in dance (1927).

E-Media – In 1936 CCM created a broadcasting division, the first of its kind.

Musical Theatre – CCM’s program, created in 1968 by Helen Laird and Jack Rouse, was groundbreaking in its day and remains top tier in our own.

This month, through CCMONSTAGE, you’ll have opportunities to experience the breadth of CCM’s offerings: superb musical theatre, great jazz, world-class chamber music and outstanding symphonic music. The artists you will see and hear on stage are supported by equally talented artists working backstage: set designers, costume designers, lighting technicians, sound designers, wig and make-up artists, stage managers, camera crews, recording engineers and many, many others.

They all work together to create magical, transformative, artistic experiences — just for you!

Thank you for being here. We’re grateful for your support!

Wishing you all the best,

Stanley Romanstein, PhD Dean | Thomas James Kelly Professor of Music

CCM ON STAGE THE ARIEL QUARTET ABOUT THE ARIEL QUARTET

“rock stars of the classical scene” —Cincinnati Enquirer Described by the American Record Guide as “a consummate ensemble gifted with utter musicality and remarkable interpretive power,” the Ariel Quartet has earned a glowing international reputation. The ensemble is comprised of Alexandra Kazovsky, violin; Amit Even-Tov, cello; Gershon Gerchikov, violin; and Jan Grüning, viola. The group was formed in Israel in 1998 and has served as CCM’s string-quartet-in-residence since 2012.

The Ariel Quartet’s 2019-20 CCM concert series is made possible by the generous contributions of an anonymous donor, The Estate of Mr. William A. Friedlander, Mrs. William A. Friedlander, Dr. Randolph L. Wadsworth, Mr. and Mrs. J. David Rosenberg, Mr. and Mrs. Harry H. Santen, Elizabeth C. B. and Paul G. Sittenfeld, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas E. Stegman, Dr. and Mrs. Theodore W. Striker and Mrs. Harry M. Hoffheimer.

PROGRAM NOTE The fugue is perhaps the strictest of all musical forms, bound by rules that seemingly limit the composer’s ability to choose creative basics such as entrances and key relationships.

At the same time, its contrapuntal nature fascinated all of today’s most famous classical composers, a fascination which — in apparent contradiction to the aforementioned strict rules — left us with some of the most revolutionary and positively outrageous music ever written. We decided to honor this unique musical form because the very essence of the string quartet is intrinsically tied to the contrapuntal concept, and any traditional program will rarely feature more than one

fugue. Mozart’s Adagio and Fugue perfectly exemplifies the original quality of the fugue by placing its geometry in contrast to the ominous and unpredictable Adagio. The first notes Bartók contributed to the string quartet genre constitute the subject of a dark and passionate albeit more free fugue, opening his String Quartet No. 1. Finally, this program comes to its unmistakable conclusion delivered to us by Beethoven through his eternal Große Fuge Op. 133, which Igor Stravinsky famously described as “an absolutely contemporary piece of music that will be contemporary forever.”

CCM Composer Bridges Cultural Gaps Through Music

Brian Nabors earns Fulbright Fellowship and travels to Australia, where he will build on his passion to bring people together through musical diversity.

By Melanie Titanic Schefft 8

APPLAUSE ccm.uc.edu

BRIDGING CULTURAL GAPS Blending the unique sounds of orchestral instruments into melodies that bring people together is more than a goal for one CCM graduate. For Brian Nabors, composing orchestral works that help bridge cultural gaps between all sorts of listeners has been a lifelong passion.

With a brand new CCM Doctor of Music degree in one hand and a Fulbright Music Fellowship in the other, Nabors will spend the first 10 months of 2020 at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music at the University of Sydney in Australia, studying and composing with internationally renowned composer Carl Vine.

“Carl Vine has a unique and tasteful musical approach very similar to my own, so the opportunity to study with him is a dream come true,” says Nabors. “This opportunity will enable me to continue being an ambassador not only for the arts but for my country and my culture.”

business skills with Vine, who also directs the Musica Viva Australia organization, one of the largest presenters of chamber music in the world.

“Through these valuable experiences, I hope to curate concerts of my own in a way that brings underrepresented people and communities together, especially for those who may not know much about classical music,” says Nabors.

“Together, we can all begin attending, creating and loving new music.”

Nabors’ positive impact on the community, creative innovation and academic success are excellent examples of the three primary platforms of UC’s strategic direction called Next Lives Here, which stresses the importance of urban impact, UC’s innovation agenda and academic excellence.

Through UC’s Office of Nationally Competitive Awards, Nabors secured a FulbrightmtvU Fellowship, which Fulbright describes as a special opportunity for U.S. students “What should we be doing as to pursue projects artists to preserve the art form around an aspect of international and promote its importance contemporary or for future generations?” popular music as —Brian Nabors a “cultural force for expression.”

In addition to Nabors’, UC received five Fulbright Student Scholarships for 2019-20. Through UC’s Office of Nationally Competitive Awards, four recipients include Amanda Bright, who will teach English in Greece; Garrett Ainsworth, who will teach English in Taiwan; Andrea Ori, who will work in biophysics at the Louis Pasteur Institute in Paris; and Chloe Elleman, who received a UK summer institute grant from Ireland.

Venturing out of the country for the first time, Nabors looks forward to shadowing composer Vine, teaching in a local music organization in Sydney and experiencing music through new perspectives.

While studying the more technical aspects of orchestration, Nabors hopes to develop musical

“I’m working to create a more poly-stylistic musical environment instead of having the genres so separated,” he says. “I find that the orchestra is an analogy of how much we can achieve as one body when we understand just how special our unique differences are.”

Each section of instruments contributes something of value to the overall musical experience, much like cultural diversity makes our lives better, he says.

“My strong will to motivate came out of a somewhat sheltered life of being different. I grew up the son of an African American middle-class pastor and nurse/church musician who poured love and the beauty of compassion into my spirit,” explains Nabors. “My mother was a church organist for years and was quite fond of the arts.

She would expose me to many forms of artistic expression, not all of which were acceptable in the eyes of my peers.”

FIRST LOVE Nabors’ early love for show tunes, dancing and animated gestures didn’t exactly conform to the images his classmates were being conditioned to emulate at the time. But through perseverance and strong support from his family, Nabors went on to achieve success through piano, Hammond organ and musical composition in a variety of genres such as classical, jazz, gospel, rhythm and blues, country, soul and contemporary classical.

Through a contemporary classical style, Nabors integrates many musical genres into his compositions. “There is something for everybody,” he says.

“Like many of my other colleagues in the field of classical music, I often wonder, ‘Where is this machine heading?’ ” Nabors asks. “Will society think of this art form as relevant 20 to 50 years down the line? How do we make classical music accessible and relevant to people from all backgrounds so that it truly inspires the people who live and work in our communities?

“What should we be doing as artists to preserve the art form and promote its importance for future generations?”

Nabors believes it’s about going back into our communities and re-examining the many benefits of this music. He says studies have shown that classical music and the arts train the mind to focus, making people better equipped to tackle other worldly tasks.

“My experience as a black American citizen, as well as a living composer, has spearheaded my mission to showcase the beauty of this music to underexposed communities, focusing particularly on the youth of our current generation,” adds Nabors. “By introducing them to the art form now, it allows them the opportunity to develop a long-lasting relationship with this music.

“In terms of communities of color, this means diversification of concert-going audiences, a greater demand for classical music and marketability that transcends barriers of color and class.”

“Music removes the illusion that we are somewhat too different to find commonalities. Music inspires us to think higher, reach further and dream bigger, leading us to incredible advancements that change the face of mankind.” —Brian Nabors 10

APPLAUSE ccm.uc.edu

BRIDGING CULTURAL GAPS “Brian Nabors is a most deserving recipient of the Fulbright Fellowship,” says Douglas Knehans, CCM professor of musical composition. “His work spans chamber, vocal and orchestral music.

“He has already worked with major U.S. orchestras such as our own Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra,” where, under the direction of conductor Robert Shaw in 1968, Thomas Jefferson “T.J.” Anderson became the first African American composer in residence, ultimately paving the way for African American composers throughout the country.

Nabors says another movement will portray the sense of urgency we should have concerning our country’s role in the conservation of the environment and global warming.

Robust and delicate musical tones, created to depict intense weather systems, pollution and ecosystems in great risk of extermination, will all find their way into the concerto, Nabors says.

“The musical pitch, tone, quality and timbre will also include distinct characteristics geared toward biases of race, gender, religion and the egregious effects that many other forms of bigotry have on American life,” he adds.

It was in early 2018, while working as Artist-inResidence with the Cincinnati Symphony and its Mindful Music Moments program, when Nabors’ passion for touching the heart and soul of Americans from all cultures really began to blossom.

“His star is on the rise for an excellent reason,” adds Knehans. “Nabors’ works are meticulously well crafted and offer huge expressive scope from the dramatic to the intimate. He brings total professionalism to not only his work but to musicians and others through his personal demeanor.”

HARMONIOUS PERSUASION While at the University of Sydney under Vine’s guidance, Nabors will begin creating the four movements of his Concerto for Orchestra.

“Each movement is to highlight a significant cultural subject relating to American lifestyle in some form or another,” says Nabors. “One movement example would be a musical depiction of the false sense of reality concerning the glamour of Hollywood in the United States.”

“I had finished a studio recording of a musical piece for piano and Tibetan singing bowls with a class of teenagers when a dedicated and passionate young rap artist approached me,” claims Nabors. “He said, ‘Man, I love that pioneering mindset you have.’ ”

After an enthusiastic conversation about how various musical instruments can produce a variety of musical contexts, Nabors realized exactly why he has dedicated his life to music.

“Music removes the illusion that we are somewhat too different to find commonalities,” Nabors says. “Music inspires us to think higher, reach further and dream bigger, leading us to incredible advancements that change the face of mankind.

“It is within this fact that my main goal as an artist is not merely to entertain, not simply to soothe the soul, but ultimately, beyond all else, to inspire.”

Welcome Home:

Broadway Legend Returns to CCM Known for a voice as smooth as his dance moves, Tony Award nominee Lee Roy Reams visits CCM this fall to share career insights with students. By Sarah Mizelle Acclaimed Broadway actor, dancer, choreographer and director Lee Roy Reams (CCM ’64, ’82; HonDoc ’98) has been hailed by the New York Times as “Broadway’s song and dance man nonpareil.” With a career spanning over 50 years, this Broadway superstar hasn’t forgotten his Cincinnati roots and has never stopped paying it forward to CCM students and alumni along the way.

Born and raised in Covington, Kentucky, Reams

graduated from CCM in 1964 and made his Broadway debut a short 18 months later in the original Broadway production of Sweet Charity.

His career quickly skyrocketed with multiple leading roles on Broadway through the ’60s and ’70s, including Will Parker in Oklahoma!, Duane Fox in Applause, Henry Spofford in Lorelei and Cornelius Hackl in Hello, Dolly! — to name a few. But Reams’ true claim to fame has a tie to CCM’s fall musical, 42nd Street. In 1980, Reams

originated the role of Billy Lawlor in 42nd Street on Broadway. He was nominated for Tony and Drama Desk awards for his performance.

Reams became a sought-after director and performer as his natural showmanship and talent found him sharing the spotlight with and directing stars like Carol Channing, Lauren Bacall, Helen Hayes, Gwen Verdon, Ann Miller, Jerry Orbach and Ethel Merman. He often found himself working with CCM alumni and students, particularly at the MUNY in St. Louis, the nation’s oldest and largest outdoor theater. As Reams worked with CCM students each summer, he began to form strong bonds with the young performers, guiding them through the perils of a career as a performer and offering hard-earned knowledge of the business to the younger generations.

It became a tradition for Reams to host “CCM Night” during the summers at the MUNY. He made Cincinnati chili for “the kids,” who loved having dinner with “the old-timer.”

When asked about working with CCM performers, Reams shares that he is thankful for

their professionalism, positivity and how they represent CCM once they leave these hallowed halls. “CCM performers listen,” he says.

“They’re attentive. You don’t have to tell them things twice.”

Ask any student or alumnus who has run across Reams in New York or elsewhere and they will tell you he is kind, generous, funny and goes out of his way to find ways to work with CCM alumni and students.

Reams will spend several days this fall in Cincinnati, working closely with CCM students in a series of master classes that focus on auditioning, the importance and impact of 42nd Street in the realm of American musical theatre, tap dancing and the business of the business. Reams’ response to being asked why he continues to give back so generously to CCM alumni and students: “I love being part of our continuing family.”

Welcome home, Lee Roy! We love that you are part of our CCM family too.

CCM ON STAGE MUSICALS DIRECTOR’S NOTE

BY Vincent DeGeorge The original London production of The Rocky Horror Show began its life at the Royal Court Theatre on June 19, 1973. To build this monster, its creator Richard O’Brien combined his love of science fiction and horror movies with his desire to be part of the glam rock counterculture of the day. What emerged was a wildly popular stage show rooted in the paranoid repression of the 1930s and ’40s, fueled by the rock and roll revolution of the ’50s and exploding with the sexual liberation of the ’60s.

Now, nearly 50 years after its birth, this musical has entertained and inspired generations. Each generation experiences the show through the lens of our ever-evolving social and cultural landscape.

The Rocky Horror Show was one of the first musicals to depict gender expression and sexual fluidity and openly celebrate the power of self-creation. Today, it continues to challenge all of us to question who we are and how we choose to express ourselves.

Broadway’s Future

CCM continues to be recognized by Playbill Magazine as one of the most represented colleges on Broadway.

BROADWAY’S FUTURE LIVES HERE Where do today’s Broadway stars get their start? According to Playbill Magazine, the path to “The Great White Way” frequently begins on the CCM stage! Billed as “The Magazine of the Theatre,” Playbill recently published its 2019 list of “10 Most Represented Colleges on Broadway,” and CCM took the No. 6 spot on that prestigious list.

Published to coincide with the start of the 2019-20 academic year, Playbill’s annual report identifies the colleges and universities with the most alumni performing on Broadway in the last season. CCM has been included on this list every year since Playbill began publishing these rankings in 2016.

This year’s report looked at every actor who performed in a Broadway show from July 23, 2018, through May 29, 2019, which runs from the first opening of Broadway’s 2018-19 season (Straight White Men) to the day before the first opening of the 2019-20 season (Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune).

CCM alums were featured in more than 20 of Broadway’s biggest and most popular productions of the last year, including: • Christy Altomare, Kathryn Boswell, Justin Scott Brown, Kyle Brown and Vicki Lewis (Anastasia) • Shoshana Bean and Bill Nolte (Waitress) • Nicholas Belton, Garett Hawe and Kelly McCormick (Carousel) •Josh Breckenridge and Sharon Wheatley (Come From Away) • Ryan Breslin, Leslie Kritzer and Sean Montgomery (Beetlejuice) • Andrew Chappelle, Alysha Deslorieux and Raven Thomas (Hamilton) • Gary Cooper and Jason Patrick Sands (Chicago) • Josh A. Dawson, Michele Pawk and Daniel Torres (Beautiful) • Noah J. Ricketts and John Riddle (Frozen) • Blaine Krauss (The Cher Show, Kinky Boots) • Christine Cornish Smith (Kiss Me, Kate, My Fair Lady) • Max Clayton (Pretty Woman, Hello, Dolly!)

• Preston Truman Boyd (Kiss Me, Kate, The Play That Goes Wrong) • Angel Reda (The Cher Show, Chicago)

• Giovanni Bonaventura (Hello, Dolly!)

• Alex DeLeo (Wicked) • Mia Gentile (Kinky Boots) • Adam Monley (Tootsie) • Samantha Pollino (Head Over Heels) • Nikki Renée Daniels (The Book of Mormon) • Kimber Sprawl (A Bronx Tale)

CCM Musical Theatre’s first graduate Pam Myers with Patricia Corbett and CCM alumnus Lee Roy Reams. The history of CCM has long ties to the generosity of Patricia and J. Ralph Corbett.

Last fall, the City of Cincinnati officially declared Oct. 20 as “CCM Musical Theatre Day” in honor of the 50th anniversary of the founding of CCM’s legendary BFA program in musical theatre. CCM conferred the United States’ first BFA in Musical Theatre to Pamela Myers in 1969. Shortly after graduating, Myers received a Tony nomination in the category of Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her breakout role as Marta in Stephen Sondheim’s Broadway musical Company.

Fifty years later, CCM Musical Theatre graduates continue to work on Broadway, in national and international touring productions, in dinner theatres and theme parks, on cruise ships, on television, in talent agencies, as producers and in many related entertainment fields.

After seeing our “stars of tomorrow” at CCMONSTAGE today, we are confident that you will continue to see them on the world stage in the near future!

CCM ON STAGE ORCHESTRA ABOUT THE CCM PHILHARMONIA

“the flair and technique of a professional ensemble” —Rafael’s Music Notes

The CCM Philharmonia, under the direction of Professor and CCM Director of Orchestral Studies Mark Gibson, is recognized as one of the world’s elite conservatory orchestras. The breadth of each season’s concert series rivals many of the world’s great performing organizations, and the Philharmonia presents a body of repertoire that encompasses more than what most conservatories venture to program. The close bond between the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and CCM’s orchestral program invigorates student conductors and instrumentalists alike, and CCM’s commitment to high standards enriches the cultural life of Greater Cincinnati.

ABOUT THE CCM CHAMBER ORCHESTRA The CCM Chamber Players have combined with the college’s “Café MoMus” ensemble to form an exciting new ensemble: CCM Chamber Orchestra. Under the direction of Kevin Michael Holzman and Aik Khai Pung, this ensemble performs chamber works by iconic composers.

From the Philippines to Sophomore violin student KayCee Galano is building a glowing international reputation as a young virtuoso.

FROM THE PHILIPPINES TO CARNEGIE HALL Exactly one year after 18-year-old violinist Kristine Clair Uchi “KayCee” Galano made her debut with the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra, she stepped onto the stage of New York City’s famed Carnegie Hall for the first time.

The second-year CCM violin student performed the complete J.S. Bach Solo Sonatas and Partitas on Saturday, Oct. 12, 2019, at Carnegie’s Weill Recital Hall. “Her New York recital debut marked the culmination of years of study,” says Galano’s teacher and mentor Kurt Sassmannshaus. “And the beginning of a life-long journey.”

“KayCee’s affinity and love of Bach’s solo works has been a source of inspiration in her young life for many years,” adds Sassmannshaus, who began violin lessons with Galano when she was 10 years old. “Her captivating interpretations show the rare confluence of a youthful spirit and uncommon maturity — and both continue to deliver delightful surprises.”

“I tremendously enjoy performing with KayCee Galano,” DeSilva says. “Her infectious musicality and magnetic stage presence were obvious in our first encounter. I foresee and wish her a blessed life as an important musician.”

Five years after she began the Skype lessons with Sassmannshaus, Galano moved to Cincinnati to complete her studies in the Starling String Project and finish high school.

She enrolled at CCM to pursue a BM in violin in fall 2018.

Galano was born in the Philippines and lived in Brunei for most of her childhood. From an early age, she had an irresistible fascination with the violin. At age 10, Galano attended the Great Wall International Music Academy in Beijing to study violin with Sassmannshaus, Dorothy Richard Starling Chair in Classical Violin at CCM. After Galano returned to Brunei, she enrolled in CCM’s Starling Preparatory String Project and began weekly, long-distance violin lessons over Skype with Sassmannshaus. She quickly began to establish herself as one of the leading young violinists of her generation.

Galano won first prize at the Malaysian Youth Music Festival and at the Great Wall Violin Concerto Competition in Beijing. At age 12, she performed in the first Asian broadcast of NPR’s “From the Top” show. She later toured the U.S. with pianist Rohan DeSilva when she was 14.

Her concert tours in China include performances at the National Centre for the Performing Arts and the Forbidden City Concert Hall in Beijing, as well as a tour of many Chinese cities with the Starling Chamber Orchestra. In 2017, Galano performed with the Jena Philharmonic in Germany.

“I really cannot say enough about what a talent she is, and how proud she is making her country. We should all look forward to hearing her contributions to the music world.”

ABOUT THE STARLING PREPARATORY STRING PROJECT Founded in 1987 by CCM Professor Kurt Sassmannshaus, the Starling Preparatory String Project is a specialized honors program training young string students. The program is generously funded through a grant by the Dorothy Richard Starling Foundation. The superbly talented musicians perform as the Starling Chamber Orchestra and are selected by audition.

Students receive one hourly lesson per week, and take music theory, chamber music and orchestra each Saturday. Instructors include CCM faculty and graduate students specially trained and chosen by Professor Sassmannshaus. Most of the students are from the greater Cincinnati area, and many others commute on Saturdays from other states. SCO has a concert series at Robert J. Werner Recital Hall at CCM and tours regularly.

Last October, she returned to her home country to debut with the Philippine Philharmonic. With just a few days’ notice, she stepped in as a featured soloist in Max Bruch’s first violin concerto as part of the orchestra’s 45th anniversary season. She was invited to perform with the orchestra after a successful performance with the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra, a Filipino orchestra based in Manila, the capital of the Philippines.

“What struck me immediately about [Galano] was her beautiful sound, technical security, keen phrasing and natural musicality,” says Gerard Salonga, Music Director of the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra and Resident Conductor of the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra. “KayCee is also a wonderful, positively charged human being, and a delight to work with. I really cannot say enough about what a talent she is, and how proud she is making her country. We should all look forward to hearing her contributions to the music world.”

“Her captivating interpretations show the rare confluence of a youthful spirit and uncommon maturity — and both continue to deliver delightful surprises.”
