Notes on Human Archipelago by Vijay Iyer :: Debut

Notes on Human Archipelago by Vijay Iyer :: Debut 10/1/2022 at London’s Royal Festival Hall by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and soloist Inbal Segev, under the baton of Edward Gardner. Vijay will participate in a chamber music salon concert with Inbal Segev and musicians from the London Philharmonic Orchestra immediately following the premiere in Royal Festival Hall's Clore Ballroom.

Vijay describes his new work: "Human Archipelago draws its inspiration from the 2019 book of the same name by author Teju Cole and photographer Fazal Shaikh, which addresses two urgent, entangled global phenomena: climate change and mass migration. Through its series of loving portraits and mini-essays, we are led to reconsider our ethical responsibilities to our fellow human beings in the present and future. We are led to rethink our very notion of 'us.'"

The Oregon Symphony gives the US premiere of Human Archipelago on January 13, 2023 with Inbal Segev performing under the baton of Marin Alsop. Three additional performances follow from January 14-16.

To be wrapped in the musical embrace of these people…🥹 I am speechless (and I am rarely speechless). My beautiful band Udo, Niek & Jelle slaying it with the amazing @realcandydulfer 🫶 I only want to dance for the rest of my life when moments like this happen. Let me know when they make a stiletto that’s actually made for this purpose. @jelleroozenburg @niekdrums @udopannekeet @clubdauphine

There is no way I knew just HOW deep this lyric was when little pre-teen me sang Papa Don’t Preach in a karoake booth at a mall in Westchester, NY. But I did know I had the choice to sing whatever I wanted. I also knew I had the choice to do whatever I wanted with my life and my body. Life changed for me that day.

After I wrapped my first (a-hem) “recording session”, satisfied but 15 bucks broker (wiping out my entire babysitting savings), I went home and told my Mom I was going to be singer. I said I wanted to write and sing stories about my life. She said OK and carried on with the dishes. It wasn’t even really a discussion. She understood the NEED because she was also a singer. Can’t turn that thing off what’s it’s been flicked on. But I was raised, as many of my western world friends were also raised, with a choice to do whatever we wanted with our voices and bodies, piercings, tattoos and abortions. I know these examples are radically different and absolutely no offense to anyone but I am making this point for a reason. Our body is ours. It needs to remain ours.

Electi*ns coming up. Vote and think about our female friends in Iran who are in the thick of it are fighting for everything we already have. I am not hash tagging this post because the trolls can go fuck themselves at this point. 🌎🤰👯‍♀️

RITE OF SPRING x 2 IN NORWAY A colorful celebrat

RITE OF SPRING x 2 IN NORWAY

A colorful celebration of the spring season is what we need in November as we enter the darkest time of the year.

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Stravinsky’s iconic ballet The Rite of Spring, jazz musician and composer Vijay Iyer joined filmmaker Prashant Bhargava in a true tribute. The work they have created is named Radhe Radhe: Rites of Holi and is a multimedia work consisting of music, film and electronics.

This music explores another spring ritual, the Hindu Holi festival, also known as the Festival of Spring. The film shows the colourful celebration of love between the divine creatures Krishna and Radha, and the music accompanies the visual ballet. The composer will join us in Bodø and play one of the piano parts.

The first part of the concert will be devoted to Stravinsky’s original work, but without the ballet dancers. This will be put together with Iyer’s new work and together, these two works will give a great tribute to the spring.

Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring was looked upon as a scandal when it was first performed in Paris in 1913. Later it has become one of the most iconic works ever written, and it has been a great influence for composers in the 20th century. //

BODØ | 17-11-2022 19:00 | Våroffer x 2 ! Stravinskij og Iyer - musikk og film | Stormen Konserthus, Store Sal Bodø | "The score unfolds in a dramatic fashion on a cinematic scale." CLEVELAND CLASSICAL / “Iyer uses the spark of Stravinsky in creative and dexterous ways that may not be immediately apparent.” NPR @vijayiyer @luigisidero.mwi @agnese_daverio @arcticphilharmonic

THANK YOU ALL!

For the first time in #Sofia, #Bulgaria, the EJN family gathered for the European #Jazz Conference 2022. During 4 intense days 324 music professionals from 38 counties, the majority of which was visiting Bulgaria for the first time, spent some great time together sharing ideas, passions and music. It was a great success and we are very thankful to all of you!
