Project description as approved by Grants Pane Now in its 23rd Season under the artistic direction of Michael Tilson Thomas (MTT), the New World Symphony (NWS) is recognized as a unique major cultural institution, internationally acclaimed by critics and audiences 'for its artistic excellence, innovative programming and leadership, in classical music education. During the current 2010 -2011 Season, NWS scheduled a full complement of guest conductors and artists to deliver world -class programming, which included NWS' signature free series of pre- season concerts; two chamber music programs featuring Jorja Fleezanis, concertmaster of the Minnesota Orchestra, and Ian Bousfield Principal Trombone with the Vienna Philharmonic; a Discovery Concert dedicated to .the music of Spanish composer Manuel. de Falla; a Baroque music program led by Italian conductor Rinaldo Alessandrini, founder and conductor of the award- winning early music ensemble Concerto Italiano; and the U.S. premiere of Colin Matthews's Violin Concerto, presented by British conductor /composer Oliver Knussen and violinist Leila Josefowicz, considered a master of contemporary violin repertoire and who, along with Mr. Knussen, headlined the world premiere of the work. In December 2010 NWS moved into the New World Center, its new 100,000'sq. ft. state -of -the -art facility designed by Frank Gehry. The new campus features Internet2 connectivity in all performance and rehearsal spaces, a concert hall with natural acoustics, cutting -edge amplification and flexible seating arrangements, °and a 2,400 sq. ft. outdoor projection area with sound facing an urban park in the Miami Beach City Center. The New World Center, scheduled to open to the public on January 25, 2011, will host the second half of NWS' current season. The opening events will be followed by programs led by Artistic Director Michael Tilson Thomas and will feature violinist Christian Tetzlaff in a performance of Bartok's Violin Concerto No. 2; a chamber music program headlined by African American pianist Stewart Goodyear; a contemporary music. program with American conductor /composer John Adams; and acclaimed conductor Stephane Deneve will return with pianist Jean -Yves Thibaudet to present a program of traditional and contemporary works by composers from their native France. The upcoming 2011 -2012 Season - NWS' first full season at the New World Center - will highlight the unparalleled array of opportunities for musical experimentation the new campus facilitates through unique features that enable the development of new concert formats to further expand opportunities for artists to create and perform as well as to expand and diversify audiences. Throughout its history, NWS has developed and embraced new concert formats and alternative art media or venues. These include its three free signature series of 20 lectures /performances and recitals (Musical Xchanges, Musicians' Forums, and Inside the Music) offered at the Lincoln Theatre and in nontraditional venues such as museums and libraries; multimedia presentations that explore the historic, cultural, and sociopolitical contexts of a specific composer, musical movement, or a country's musical tradition; and live broadcasts of performances over the Internet. Complementing current program offerings, new programs that will be introduced and /or expanded during the 2011 -2012 Season include: * Mini Concerts of 15 to 30 minutes in length presented 3 to 5 times over the. course of an evening aimed at attracting the casual passerby in this major tourist destination; * Discovery Concerts, one -hour concert presentations augmented by narrative and visual enhancements, with pre and post- concert opportunities for younger audiences to network and socialize; * Journey Concerts, thematic programs that will use the flexibility of presentation options in the new 6of10 facility (the stage and four alternate performance platforms for small ensembles) to seamlessly juxtapose large and small artistic .forces demarked by lighting adjustments rather than time- consuming stage changes; * Recital Series in the SunTrust Pavilion, a series free and open to the public designed to give individual NWS Fellows the opportunity` to perform for audiences of 150 -200 people in this intimate and acoustically ideal setting with the opportunity to speak with audiences about their musical selections, often with audiovisual enhancements. The, roster of invited guest artists for the 2011 -2012 Season include American conductor James Conlon, Music Director of the Los Angeles Opera; Austrian conductor Manfred Honeck, Music Director of the Pittsburgh Symphony; Peruvian conductor Miguel Harth- Bedoya, Music Director of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra; Spanish conductor Pablo Heras - Casado; American mezzo - soprano Amanda Crider, praised by critics for her "focused golden toned voice," German - Canadian cellist Johannes Moser, hailed by Gramophone Magazine as "one of the finest among the astonishing gallery of young virtuoso cellists," and Spanish pianist Javier Perianes, a rising star in classical music. Honored by the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) with awards. in 2003, 2007 and 2009 for Adventurous Programming of Contemporary Music, NWS will continue to underscore its commitment to the genre by bringing composers into the concert hall, some via Internet2 to further enhance the audience's appreciation and understanding of musical complexity. The impact of our artistic and educational programs is truly remarkable. NWS is innovative in nature, and this organizational attribute has been highlighted through the development and implementation of initiatives of community-,vide and interdisciplinary impact. For example, NWS has been at the forefront mi the use of technology in the arts, making extensive use of the advanced network videoconferencing technology of Internet2. This technology enables orchestra Fellows to receive master classes and coaching from artists around the world, and NWS enhances the concert going experience of audience members .by enabling composers to introduce their work prior to its performance and hosting pre- concert lectures with musicologists and historians at remote locations. NWS' pioneering use of this technology has spearheaded its adaptation by music institutions and by art groups in general, further promoting greater cross - cultural understanding and artistic collaboration among artists worldwide. NWS' innovative efforts in this area were rewarded with leadership grants and multiyear commitments, including a $5 million grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation to establish the Knight. New Media Center. NWS is now expanding its distance learning programs to provide artistic and educational programming to Miami -Dade County public schools students. The quality and reach of NWS' distance learning programs have been widely recognized, most recently, with an Internet2 Excellence Award. Proiect description as revised (if applicable). based upon the City Commission approved award: Changes to projects awarded under the Artistic Disciplines, program must still adhere to the requirement that the work is new or has never before been presented in Miami Beach.
