New York Phil and other stuff

Post by Alan Baer »

Hi All,
It's been a while since I've posted so with that...
For anyone who missed the NYP Mahler 5 with Jaap that was on live on Facebook, here is your chance to see it before the NYP pulls it down.

https://nyphil.org/whats-new/2017/septe ... van-zweden" target="_blank" target="_blank"

Jaap is our new Music Director designate and will officially start next year. He is working with us a bit this year and will be conducting on the Asia tour in the spring. This is from a couple weeks ago right in the middle of a Star Wars blowfest. Movies 4,5,6,7... we finally finished last night.

On other fronts...
Many have been asking about openings for schools where I am teaching.
YES.. there are openings!
JUILLIARD will have 2 openings as we now have 4! and 3 will graduate. We usually have 3 total.
MANNES will have 1 opening as the both students have returned to do graduate degrees.
RUTGERS will have 3 opening, one grad. and two undergrad, at least this is what I envision.
The important part.. $$$$ Yes, there are definitely scholarships available at ALL the schools.
If you have specific questions, you can email me at: baertracks1@gmail.com" target="_blank" target="_blank"

The audition dates are posted on each schools web sites.
Audition requirements are also posted. It's basically: solo work, etude, excerpts. lol.. what else do we do..:) besides count rest!
Good luck everyone!

That's the most enthusiasm I've seen the NYP show in a while (video only, of course, since I've never seen them live). They really threw themselves into the performance.

Then again, I never see the vast majority of their work . . .

That's great! I love Mahler 5 - and will never get to play since I'm a eupher.
