We Bid Farewell to 2015, And Say Hello to 2016 Finals are long gone, the holidays have passed, and Boston feels..much, much colder. In typical Boston fashion, the true winter temperatures seemed to wait until we were done with our vacation and well into the month of January before showing themselves. But while we long for the warmer weather of spring, we take a moment to look back on how well 2015 treated us. From great concerts to new friends, 2015 proved that even with all the chaos and entropy in this world, there is still plenty to be thankful for. But we’ve got more than enough to look forward to come 2016, and it’s time to jump right in! So join us while we remember the old and welcome the new, and start up second se-

mester at New England Conservatory! We introduce you to our Writing Center tutors who can help you with your writing projects FREE of charge, update you on the search for our new president, give you an inside look at the exciting SLPC project, and tell you why cheaper isn’t always better with an “expose” of Primark. And remember, we’re always looking for additional talented writers! Please check out Penguin Penmen page to see how you can contribute to future issues!

A Look Back and a Look Foward A RECAP OF 2015 AND LOOKING AHEAD TO THE NEW YEAR

by NICK TISHERMAN 4th YEAR - BM Oboe

OCTOBER 2015: TOO MARVELOUS FOR WORDS In what might be described as the feel-good concert of the decade, NEC ‘s Jazz Orchestra and killin’ student vocalists, accompanied by the NEC Philharmonia strings, presented a program of favorite arrangements associated with Sinatra on the 100th anniversary of his birth. Ken Schaphorst sifted through archives to find the original charts of tunes like “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” “Fly Me To the Moon,” and “It Happened in Monterey.” It was a night to remember, but, as they say, the best is yet to come.

NOVEMBER 2015: GUNTHER SCHULLER REMEMBERED Classical, Jazz, and the department formerly known as ‘Third-Stream’ teamed up to honor the legacy of composer, former president, and visionary Gunther Schuller. In a September Philharmonia Concert, a performance of his work for orchestra, Dreamscapes acted as prelude for the celebration in November, when NEC put together five programs which featured Schuller’s works.

DECEMBER 2015: CONSTRUCTION OF THE SLPC RAMPS UP And on the first day of Christmas NEC gave to me: a giant crane on St. Botolph Street. What was a barren parking lot just a few months ago now looks like the beginnings of a building that will literally take NEC to new heights. It is rumored that the new building will feature an indoor trampoline park and hot tub, but only time will tell.

SPRING 2016: NEC VOCAL PERFORMANCES Mark your calendars for NEC Vocal performances this spring. Operas abound in February and April in the Cutler Majestic Theater and the Paramount Center, respectively. On March 2nd, NEC Chamber Singers plus NEC Concert Choir plus NEC Symphony equals the Duruflé Requiem in a concert comprised entirely of French music.

APRIL 2016: FILM NOIR NIGHT On April 14th, NEC’s Contemporary Improvisation department, spearheaded by Ran Blake and Aaron Hartley, will present settings of scenes from Charles Laughton’s 1955 film, Night of the Hunter, a film noir thriller the plot of which focuses on a reverend-turned-serial killer. Like peanut butter and jelly, or like cheese and wine, the music of the CI department and film noir go hand-in-hand.

APRIL 2016: NEC PHILHARMONIA AT SYMPHONY HALL It’s been two years since the Phil has appeared across the street, and this time Hugh Wolff brings a program of Stravinksy’s 1910 complete ballet The Firebird, as well as an onomatopoeiac work by Andrew Norman, and an appearance by artist diploma candidate Alexei Kenney. On April 27th is a concert not to miss if you can make the perilous trek across Huntington.

The Presidential Hunt by Kate Arndt

A couple of weeks ago, I was given the opportunity to participate in the Presidential Search Committee meeting in Jordan Hall, along with about ten other students from a variety of majors. We were joined by two consultants from the global executive search firm, Spencer Stuart, along with a portion of the selection committee. The meeting itself took place on the exquisite Jordan Hall stage—a fitting place as it is at the very heart of NEC. As we started to take our seats and gather for the start of the meeting, I recognized many faces—both fellow classmates and also members of the panel. I felt at ease with these people and I think the others began to feel the same. After one of the first questions from the consultants was raised, it was great to see how involved and passionate everyone in the room became. The discussion was

The Next Step for the SLPC

CRANES, STEEL BEAMS AND A WHOLE LOT OF WORK

by ANDREW PORT 3rd Year - BM Oboe

The New Face of NEC The picture below is a mockup of the new building’s exterior. Don’t worry! This isn’t actually what will be going on the building. The mockup is actually a highly sophisticated rendering of all of the different materials and designs that will be featured in the new building. The bottom left corner of the facade is actually the concrete color that will be used for the steps and ground-level pavillion outside the building, and various window designs are meant to display the different types of windows that will bring natural light into the building. Where there isn’t glass, there is terracotta - a type of clay shingle that will decorate the outside of our new home. These facades will be lifted into place by the crane in portions similar in size to this one; but finishing the outside is only half of the job. Once the outside is completed, the SLPC will begin taking shape on the inside too.

Going Up! The crane being used on campus is pretty impressive. It’s primary purpose is to lift the steel beams that will make up the structural skeleton of the building itself. All the way on the top, opposite of the boom that lifts the steel, are seven peices of counterweight, which weigh 665lbs. EACH. That’s a total of 4,655lbs that can be lifted by this crane at once! Using hand-signals and two-way radios, the crew on board the mighty machine will be lifting daily shipments of steel from trucks, down into the site, and then into its place on the building structure. Once the steel beams are placed, the SLPC will be the largest building on campus. The crane will then lift pieces of the facade into place onto the outside of the building.

The Nitty-Gritty The SLPC will house a new library, dining hall, rehearsal spaces, theaters and so much more. But I wanted to learn more about the residence portion of the building. Ryan Bourque gave me a sneak peek of the blueprints for one of the six standard residence floors that will be built. In total, the SLPC Residence Hall will have about two-hundred and fifty beds, a full one-hundred more than the current Residence Hall. In addition, each standard room will be roughly 12’x18’ (feet), more than two feet larger than the 11.25’x16’ rooms we currently have in the Residence Hall. Each floor will also feature a two-bedroom suite, complete with a common space and private bathroom accommodations. Every floor will have its own elevator lobby separate from bigger and better floor lounges. The safety of residents is a chief concern as well. With an advanced security system, access to the SPLC will require a valid ID scan. Aside from the building’s sophisticated security

He gave us a guided tour of the interior of the construction site, and gave us the opportunity to learn about the new building’s specific details like the sizes of each room. system at the front, the Residence floors will have a separate set of elevators. Access to the residence floors will require the use of a separate set of elevators with it’s own security checkpoint.; it’s also a possibility that ID cards will need to be scanned to call the elevators. The fourth floor is where the student kitchen and laundry room will be located; the laundry room may possibly be larger than the one in the current residence hall, but the details haven’t been entirely sketched out yet. The dining hall is also substantially bigger, with nearly triple the available space for bars and grills, and at least two islands for salads and other items.

E S O P PUR

penguin SPOTLIGHT by UMAR ZAKARIA

This past Thanksgiving, I prepared five traditional Malay dishes for my friends. I began cooking at 10pm on Wednesday night, slept from 4am to 10am, then continued cooking until my guests arrived at 5pm. Before the cooking started, I had traveled to four different shops to get all the right ingredients and schlepp them home. As any host will understand, I was at the edge of my rope before the party even began. People you live with are always going to get on your nerves once in a while - which is exactly what happened in the first hour of cooking. I took a shower and tried to rest for a moment, but it was not enough. So finally, I reached for some music on my computer, and found myself drawn towards a recording of my own. It was a composition by friend of mine from back home, which I had arranged for 9 of my close friends. I could feel their presence as I listened to the track. One of them was a great father, and I felt the warmth and acceptance that I always felt from being with him in person. I couldn’t help but laugh a little as I felt my own presence and was comforted by it - as if I was comforting myself with the sound of my own voice. I walked away from the music refreshed, and ready to cook for the next 6 hours. Just the week before, my teacher had commented on my ability to heal people and make their souls feel refreshed when I play. It was a very heavy comment, but I finally began to truly believe that music could be for healing people. Music is used for a lot of things depending on where you go in the world - you will find music used for healing people, but also for purposes such as divine exultation, literal communication and organizing the daily life of the community. Furthermore, the power of music can be exploited for purposes of monetary profit, social conditioning, interrogation and torture. My personal belief is that music does not need to have an ‘intrinsic’ purpose - anything that can be done with music can be done without music, but it is a lot more powerful in musical form. The role that musicians play in our society today is often a role that is remembered from a past age. It is not very relevant in the everyday lives of people who don’t already have a personal connection to musicians. We often see ourselves in such a role, too, but in this age of independence and internet access, we have an opportunity to drastically redefine our relationship to the audience that is society. What do we want out of this relationship? That’s what we need to decide, first for ourselves and then for our

8

communities. What I discovered from my Thanksgiving experience is that we really can allow the things we feel strongly about to become part of our music-making. The beliefs and concerns of the composers whose music we continue to play were expressed in a way that was relevant to society during the time that they were alive. Our challenge is to express it in a way that is relevant to society in 2015, and continue to reinvent that as society evolves. To me, it’s very clear that there is a lot of pain in the world right now. A lot of my music is about going through pain, and surviving it. What I want out of my musical relationship to the world is to be a comforting voice that accepts their pain and gives them the strength to continue fighting. I have met other musicians with different purposes, too - for example, one whose desire is to inspire the misfits, and one whose aim is to change the fearful status quo. These are three very different purposes, but all are very needed and very relevant to society today. Not everybody’s purpose has to be so grand and world-changing. The important thing for us is that we find some kind of reason for doing what it is that we are doing, and make that reason a part of the way we live our lives; make it part of everything we do, everything we say and everything we choose. Personally, my connection to my purpose is stronger than my connection to music itself. I’m not saying yours has to be - but it’s totally okay if it is. If you enjoyed this article, I recommend you read Karl Paulnack’s Boston Conservatory welcome address. Just Google ‘Paulnack speech’. Then, come find me in the hallway and let’s talk about it I’ll probably be wearing my ‘North Texas’ sweater. Take care!


MEET THE WRITING CENTOR TUTORS! Umar Zakaria - Second Year MM, Jazz Bass I’m here to help you with your essays, but I’m also here to show you how writing can really help you focus in on the things that are important to you and how you feel about them. It doesn’t matter what your topic is - your voice is the most important thing.

Margaret Bridge - First Year GD, Voice The writing center is for everyone who wants a second opinion on their writing, whether it’s because you’re struggling with some grammar issues or because you’ve suddenly become convinced that nothing you’ve written makes any sense and you don’t feel like you can write a coherent sentence anymore, let alone an entire essay. We’ve all been there.

Aaron Blumenthal - First Year MM, Jazz Saxophone The Writing Center is a pressure-free environment to talk about writing of any kind. Whether you need help writing a bibliography or starting the very beginning of your first paper at NEC, we can help you tackle it and come out with something great.

Rami Stucky - Second Year MM, Music History I enjoy tutoring and reading the many ideas NEC students develop within their Liberal Arts, Music History, and Music Theory courses. Although students often come to the Writing Center with questions about spelling and grammar, my meetings usually include discussions about the papers’ arguments and the examples the student chooses to support his or her argument. After leaving a session, I hope that a student has a better idea about how to best express their spoken ideas onto the written page.

Julian Pozniak - First Year MM, Composition Before coming to NEC, I graduated from Carleton College, where I received my Bachelor’s degree in Music and Political Science, with a concentration in European Studies. I enjoy working with all kinds of writers and strive to help students play an active part in the tutoring process, rather than watching someone edit their paper.
