René Mertzig Trois Esquisses pour orchestre ŕ cordes
Marcel Wengler Novelette
for saxophone and strings

Quattro Orchestra, Prague
Conductor: Marek Stilec
Irvin Venys saxophone

This CD, appropriately named ”Carmina lucemburgiana” is a tribute to the era of the Luxembourg dynasty in Central Europe and in Europe as a whole, and thus also to the memorable common history of the Czech Republic and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The works by Guillaume de Machchaut (John the Blind’s private secretary, but also one of the greatest musicians of his time), the Czech composers Josef Suk, Otmar Mácha and Sylvie Bodorová as well as the two Luxembourg authors Marcel Wengler and René Mertzig set out to both recreate a medieval atmosphere while at the same time illustrating the privileged and mutually beneficial relations between the Czech Republic and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

Zhenzhen Zhang was born in 1987 in HengYang, China. She began playing the piano at the age of six years. In 2003, she entered the Xinghai Conservatory of Music to begin her composition studies. Recommended by Professor Dong Yang, she enrolled at the prestigious Shanghai Conservatory of Music in 2005 to continue her studies in composition with Professor Huang Lv. Some of her outstanding pieces received positive comments from Professor Tan Dun and Professor Xiaoyong Chen, two Chinese world-class composers, now living in the U.S.A. and in Germany.

Takahiro Sakuma was born in 1972 in Sapporo, Japan; later he moved to Sendai. He studied with the professors Reiko Arima, Akira Ifukube and Sei Ikeno at the Tokyo College of Music. He received his Master of Arts in 1998. Then he worked as an assistant in the Department of Composition at the Tokyo College of Music. Takahiro Sakuma studied composition with Professor Fernando Maglia at the Conservatorio Nacional Superior de Música, Buenos Aires. He became interested in the guitar in this country and after returning to his homeland, Takahiro Sakuma wrote two works for guitar.

Born in Hong Kong in 1976, Pui-shan Cheung received her degrees from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, the University of California, San Diego and the University of Missouri, Kansas City. She has served as Assistant Professor at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing and presently resides in San Diego. Pui-shan Cheung’s music has been described as beautiful sounds with abrupt intrusions of jagged explosive ideas (Peninsula Review). Pui-shan Cheung has received a number of awards and prizes and she has held residency at the Atlantic Centre for the Arts and currently composer-in-residence in Wuji Chinese-plucked Music Ensemble.

Miguel Farías, Chilean composer, born in Maracaibo, Venezuela, in 1983. From 2001 to 2008 he studied at the Universidad de Chile with Aliocha Solovera and Jorge Pepi-Alos, and from 2009 in the Haute Ecole de Musique de Geneve, with Michael Jarrell. His works have been played in Chile, Spain, France, Austria, Belgium and Korea. Miguel Farias Vásquez is the laureate of many prizes. During 2008 he was composer in residence in the 5th forum for young composers of the Ensemble Aleph, in France.

ISCM World New Music Days 2010
Sydney, Australia



General Assembly of the ISCM
International Society for Contemporary Music


“Living Music”

The 2010 ISCM World New Music Days will be the largest festival of contemporary music ever held in Australia. Presenting partners Sydney Conservatorium of Music, Aurora New Music, ABC Classic FM, the Australian Music Centre and Campbelltown Arts Centre are co-ordinating 23 concerts in Western and Central Sydney. Venues include the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, Campbelltown Arts Centre, Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre (Penrith), Eugene Goossens Hall (Ultimo), Parramatta Riverside Theatre, Blacktown Arts Centre and St. Finbar’s Church, Glenbrook.

In putting together the programme for this festival, over 500 works from 52 ISCM member sections and independent composers were assessed by the jury panels. The selected works reflect a broad spectrum of innovative musical practice from across the world, covering traditional chamber groups and choirs to cutting edge multimedia and sound installations. Music for the festival has been sourced from around the globe: from right next door in NZ and Asia (Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Indonesia), to western and eastern Europe and Russia, to North, South and Central America (the US, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela), and even South Africa.

Notable in the 2010 ISCM World New Music Days is the inclusion of a special category of Radiophonic works – thirteen works that have been specifically written for radio broadcast. Our media partner, ABC Classic FM, will be presenting these and other works recorded during the festival throughout Australia, as well as streamed via the web.

Gustav Mahler Jubilee 2010 / 2011



International Gustav Mahler Music Festival 2010
Czech Republic
Jihlava – Praha

In 2010 and 2011 we, together with the whole of the cultural world, will be marking two notable anniversaries of the composer Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) who was born in our country in the village of Kaliště near Humpolec, spent his childhood up to the age of 15 in Jihlava and the Highlands border region between Bohemia and Moravia, and continued his ties with the land and culture of what is now the Czech Republic. (There was in particular his work as a conductor at Olomouc and in Prague, the world premiere of his Symphony No. 7 in Prague on 19th September 1908, as well as other instances). The Gustav Mahler Society, in continuing its earlier activities from the 1990s which gave rise to the restoration of his birthplace, is aiming to contribute to the purposeful presentation and promotion of the personality and music of Gustav Mahler with due emphasis on his Czech (böhmisch, Czech-Austrian and Czech-German-Jewish) roots, his ties to the Highlands region and Jihlava and on his personality’s international dimension.
