Gabriela Lena Frank – Elegia Andina
This West Coast Conductors Guild Workshop will include 40 minutes of podium time for 12 participating conductors. Each participant will conduct both the Stanford Symphony Orchestra, and the Stanford Symphonia Orchestra. All sessions will be video recorded and participants will receive an SD file of the full workshop.
A highlight of the workshop will include the performance of Elegia Andina, and appearance of composer Gabriela Lena Frank. Currently serving as Composer-in-Residence with the storied Philadelphia Orchestra and included in the Washington Post's list of the 35 most significant women composers in history (August, 2017), identity has always been at the center of composer/pianist Gabriela Lena Frank's music. Born in Berkeley, California (September, 1972), to a mother of mixed Peruvian/Chinese ancestry and a father of Lithuanian/Jewish descent, Gabriela explores her multicultural heritage most ardently through her compositions. Inspired by the works of Bela Bartók and Alberto Ginastera, Gabriela is something of a musical anthropologist. She has traveled extensively throughout South America and her pieces reflect and refract her studies of Latin American folklore, incorporating poetry, mythology, and native musical styles into a western classical framework that is uniquely her own.
Joining Ms. Frank and leading the workshop will be Stanford University Associate Professor of Music, Paul Phillips. Appointed Director of Orchestral Studies and Associate Professor (Teaching) of Music at Stanford University in 2017, Paul Phillips is a conductor, composer, and author who has conducted more than 60 orchestras, opera companies, and ballet troupes worldwide, including the San Francisco Symphony, Dallas Symphony, Netherlands Radio Chamber Orchestra and Choir, Orquesta Sinfónica de Salta (Argentina), Paul Taylor Dance Company, and Opera Providence, as well as numerous choruses. He has conducted recordings with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra (Ireland), and Brown University Orchestra, whose CD "Manhattan Intermezzo" became the #1 best-selling Naxos recording upon its release in January 2016. His conducting honors include 1st Prize in the NOS International Conductors Course (Holland) and Wiener Meisterkurse Conductors Course (Vienna), and 11 ASCAP Awards for Adventurous Programming of Contemporary Music.
We are also pleased to have Maestro Jonathan Girard on faculty for this workshop. Recently, Girard was appointed to the conducting faculty at the Marrowstone Music Festival, where he led the Philharmonic Orchestra in a concert of Verdi, Respighi, and Rimsky-Korsakov. He also serves as the assistant conductor of the Vancouver Symphony Whistler Institute Orchestra. In the summer of 2015, Girard made his European operatic conducting debut with the European Music Academy leading the North Czech Philharmonic Orchestra in performances of Le nozze di Figaro in opera houses across the Czech Republic. Girard was the assistant conductor of the Ohio Light Opera from 2012-2014 and cover conductor of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra (NY) in 2012.
