Miller Theatre: Vital as Ever“Miller Theatre, under its executive director, Melissa Smey, continues to be
a hotbed of bold programming and contemporary music.” — THE NEW YORK TIMES
With this new season, Miller Theatre proudly celebrates the 20th anniversary ofits influential Composer Portraits series, called "indispensable" just last month by AlexRoss in The New Yorker, after Tyshawn Sorey's first Portrait.
The season also marks Melissa Smey's tenth season as Miller's Executive Director, whereshe is widely admired for the integrity of her curating.
Melissa states: "I am passionately dedicated to creating new work and fosteringcommunity, and it has been an honor to commission over 40 new works from majorcomposers, visual artists, and theater artists. Collaboration is at the heart of my curatorialpractice, and it is a continual source of inspiration to work amongst the field’s leading
creators and performers. I am honored to lead this vibrant institution, and proud of thevital role Miller Theatre plays in our cultural community. This coming season is one of ourbest ever, and I can’t wait for audiences to join us."
When Melissa became Miller's executive director in 2009 at age 37, she not onlyinherited an institution renowned for its innovative programming, but as its leader,became a tastemaker for new music in New York City.
The venue has since been heralded by The New York Times for its “transformative impacton musical culture in New York City” and exerting an “oversize influence on tastes andtrends." Many credit Miller Theatre with pioneering the kind of programming that biggerorganizations now emulate.
Since the beginning of her tenure, Smey has continued Miller's tradition of adventurousprogramming, while steering Miller toward new territory—welcoming a stylistically eclecticmix of composers and ensembles, expanding Miller's leadership in community engagement(Pop-Up Concerts, Morningside Lights, Carnival of the Animals, and commissioningpublic murals in Miller's lobby), and recalibrating the gender imbalance in classical musicby showcasing the work of female composers, a development hailed by The NewYorker and The New York Times.
“Melissa Smey is going on a decade as executive director of Columbia University’sMiller Theatre and, during that time, has made the house one of
the most exciting venues for old and new composition."— TIME OUT NY

COMPOSER PORTRAITSwww.millertheatre.com/event-series/composer-portraits
"Like a retrospective in the art world, a Composer Portraitoffers the kind of snapshot that allows you to go deep into thecomposer’s sound world. You might decide that you don’t likeit, but after four or five pieces, you at least have a foundation onwhich to base your judgment." — Melissa Smey
(Read the full Q&A with Melissa and Lara Pellegrinelli)
FOR TWENTY YEARS, Miller Theatre’s flagship series has
fostered the creation of new work, served as an incubator foremerging artists and a champion of those not yet well known,and created a community of adventurous listeners.
“Miller Theatre’s Composer Portraits serieshas long been an invaluable new-musicseries, offering a carefully curated anthologyof works by a single author that allowsaudiences to immerse themselves in onecompositional voice.”

Bach Sonatas
C.P.E. Bach called his father’s six sonatas with harpsichord (BWV 1014–1019) among his
finest compositions, possibly due to the juxtaposition of a through-composed keyboardpart against the ‘solo’ instrument, which was novel at the time. Each of the pieces on thisprogram exemplify this fresh approach, featuring both instruments as equal partners withexhilarating results.
Christina Jennings, fluteRebecca Fischer, violinAlexis Pia Gerlach, celloSimone Dinnerstein, piano

Bach Concertos
Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 might be the most popular of the group amonglisteners, possibly because its treatment of the harpsichord highlights the instrument as avirtuosic soloist in a quasi-concerto style. With the ensemble Baroklyn, SimoneDinnerstein performs this treasured work on the piano, along with other concertos and anarrangement of Ebarme dich mein, o Herre Gott for piano and strings.

Bach Collection
If Bach had a greatest-hits album, the works on this program would surely make the list.Starting with the first notes of the lilting melody of Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring to the final
words of the most performed and well-known of his sacred cantatas, Ich habe genug, thesemoving, time-honored masterpieces remind us why they are some of the most cherished ofBach’s prolific oeuvre.
