The Symphony Orchestra of the 54th Young Artists Festival Bayreuth is to be conducted by Peter Gülke.

He has toured Russia and Lithuania with the Duisburg Symphony Orchestra. He made his debut in Japan with the NHK Orchestra Tokyo. Peter Gülke has also conducted operas in Berlin, Hamburg, Vienna, Paris, Rome, Turin, and Graz among others. He has given the world premiere of many works and has made much forgotten music accessible again. As a musicologist Peter Gülke specialises in the music of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, in Beethoven, Mozart and Schubert, and deals with questions and theories of musical interpretation and performance practice.

Prof. Peter Gülke will conduct the Symphony Orchestra of the Young Artists Festival Bayreuth in the rehearsal and performance of the following works:

In Bayreuth young musicians have the opportunity to attend performances at the Richard Wagner Festival and to develop a deeper understanding of Wagner?s music dramas by playing excerpts from them in the orchestra. A rehearsal or a concert with commentary by a conductor of the Richard Wagner Festival is planned.

In the chamber music workshop, works from a great variety of stylistic periods will be studied. The primary emphasis is placed on the sound, form, articulation and interpretation of the selected works. Technical questions relating to the instruments will also be dealt with. If necessary, it will also be possible to arrange individual tuition and to work on playing technique.

In addition to focusing on the classical repertoire, the program of the chamber orchestra for strings in 2004 also invites participants to discover music of the 20th century. The musicians will be introduced to challenges of modern harmony and rhythm as well as special playing techniques. The following works are among those to be studied:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Divertimento in D major
Antonín Dvoøák, Serenade for Strings in E major op. 22
Dmitri Shostakovich, String Quartet No. 8 op. 110


Director:

Josef Schwab,
Professor at the Music University "Hanns Eisler" Berlin

Chamber Orchestra for strings



In addition to orchestral rehearsals, this workshop will focus on solo performance for wind instrumentalists. While not neglecting correctness of pitch, rhythmic accuracy and technical brilliance, rehearsal work will encourage ensemble members? own initiative and will certainly incorporate their creative interpretative ideas they. The workshop aims to develop participants? sense of sound balance and stylistic homogeneity and to practise effective rehearsal techniques. Every ensemble will have the chance to present itself to the audience during a concert and to discuss the performance subsequently with the lecturer.

The chamber music course for brass players will study works for different instrument combinations from the Renaissance to the present day. Basic technical questions relating to playing will be dealt with. In addition, the brass section rehearsals for the orchestral concert will be undertaken during the course. The works studied will then be performed on concert tours throughout the region

Chamber music for brass instruments








The percussion workshop offers participants further training in one of three areas. 1.) Preparation for a percussion concert of works by John Cage and Lou Harisson in collaboration with the participants of other instrument workshops. 2.) Individual training to improve playing technique. This includes the very special opportunity of joining a ?Rudiment? Workshop with Steve Fitch. 3.) Rehearsal of the percussion parts for the symphony concert, plus selected passages from the repertoire from Beethoven to Schoenberg. This usually leaves enough time to work on producing a popular programme for special events at the festival (e.g. social evening).

New music


Experimental improvisation - intercultural composing - applied music
16 - 31 August 2004
Composing means not only acting in the sense of choosing between two alternatives; composing is also intended to have an effect, to give an impetus, to initiate thought processes. Above all, inner listening experiences and sound concepts should be communicable; these should be tried out in extempore playing or recorded in traditional or graphic notation.
Under the direction of Peter Michael Hamel the workshop will create the space for experimental improvisation to stimulate the productive process of intercultural composing. Examples and works of intercultural composing will be presented. Work brought by participants will additionally be discussed. The interplay of composition and presentation will be promoted by a regularly occurring "jour fixe". The sphere of applied music - with examples from film music, especially composition for silent films ? will open up new perspectives for participants and encourage them in personal development.
Finally, participants will attend rehearsals for the world premiere of Hamel?s orchestral score ?Fünf Tore?, where the focus will be on practical orchestration.

composer of concert and chamber music and opera, well-known within the experimental avant-garde, "self-performing artist" and director of the international improvisational group Between; Peter Michael Hamel is regarded as a forerunner of the world music and minimal music movement in Europe; lecturing activity: 1993-96 Graz University of Music, since 1997 successor to Ligeti as Professor of composition and theory at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg

Assistant:

Composition workshop



22 to 31 August 2004

Piano Workshop


Masterclass
14 - 21 August 2004
The week-long piano masterclass is intended to provide impulses for further musical development and to enrich existing knowledge with innovative ideas. Fidelity to detail or an eye for overall form, stylistic rightness or spontaneous individual expression, philosophical idea or simply better finger positions and relaxed body posture ? every element can come to the fore and contribute to overall musicianship. The course is intended to encourage individualised piano-playing among young pianists in order to help them with their personal artistic development.


Director:
Paul Gulda
independent pianist, until 2003 visiting professor at the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst in Vienna

Piano Workshop




Literature


14 to 22 August 2004
Can one learn to write a book?
Every conversation begins with a question. The right questions at the right time evolve into stories and narratives. Writing represents an emphatic form of intensifying the experience of life. Writing allows people to fix important moments, which can be preserved, deepened and passed on to others.

These and other questions will be discussed and illustrated by Wolf Peter Schnetz in ?The Parsifal Game: the art of the question that leads to story-telling and hence to literature? - the intensive course of this year?s literature workshop, attended by practised and first-time participants.
Publication possibilities via new production ways like ?books on demand? will also be discussed.

Please note! Participants have to speak and write fluent German.
The number of participants is limited to 12.


Director
Wolf Peter Schnetz
author of some 40 publications

Workshop for creative writing: The Parsifal Game




Learning to listen and write


23 - 28 August 2004 in Bayreuth
11 - 14 November 2004 in Bonn
The workshop teaches the basic principles of music journalism and gives participants the chance to apply what they learn in practice. The course is aimed at young professionals who already have some experience in music criticism and music journalism. It is divided into two working phases. In Bayreuth, the emphasis will be on print media; participants will practise professional music theatre criticism after attending a Wagner music drama at the Bayreuth Festival. In Bonn, participants will be introduced to radio work and CD production in the studios of Deutsche Welle.

Robert Schumann can be seen as a co-founder and patron of music criticism thanks to his periodical Neue Zeitschrift für Musik. The workshop named after him, now taking place for the third time, provides training for young music journalists.

Please note! Participants have to speak and write fluent German.
Please contact the festival for more information.
