Thomas Wolfe famously admonished in one of his novels that
“you can’t go home again,” but don’t tell that to performers
in the Conservatory’s Alumni Recital Series. A new program
aimed at strengthening alumni connections and building
broader Bay Area audiences, this series establishes an annual
tradition of bringing distinguished artists back to their alma
mater for command performances.
Officially christened in April with a recital by Shanghai Quartet
violinist Weigang Li (’82), the series has expanded in 2011-2012
into a full season. The premiere took place on September 1 with
The Delphi Trio (Liana Bérubé, ‘10, violin; Michelle Kwon, ‘09,

Among his many activities, Foglesong
prepared the most complete discography
to date of every known release of SFS

The San Francisco Symphony’s (SFS)
celebration of its 100th
anniversary
season owes much of its momentum
to Scott Foglesong, chair of the
Conservatory’s music theory and
musicianship department. A longtime
lecturer at the SFS in addition to his
Conservatory duties, Foglesong has
played a vital role in documenting and
disseminating the symphony’s history.
The San Francisco Symphony, getting its centennial party groove on
Foglesong’s
Centennial Efforts
and edited the recordings for a web-
based historical timeline containing
some 35 musical selections, drawn from
the symphony’s recordings since 1925.
(He even restored certain recordings for
the SFS web site.)
There’s more: Foglesong also provided
recordings for an exhibit on the
anniversary now on view at the San
Francisco Public Library. A video
documentary on the SFS’s history
features Foglesong both in front of and
behind the camera, as both interview
subject and music consultant.
On top of all this, Foglesong is receiving
face time in the community. In
September he appeared on Alan Farley’s
KALW program “My Favorite Things,”
discussing his SFS projects as well as the
Conservatory’s own history. On October
18 he gives a public presentation on
the SFS’s recorded history at the San
Francisco Public Library. Foglesong also
created a 12-episode series of podcasts
on the SFS’s history on record, which he
researched, wrote, assembled, narrated
and engineered. Look for them on the
SFS web site starting December 8.

Parallèle, the Conservatory’s resident

NewFaces This academic year, the Conservatory welcomes new collegiate faculty Brian
Herndon (beginning acting) and Krzysztof Izdebski (vocal physiology). Andrew
Luchansky, already faculty in the Preparatory Division, now teaches string pedagogy
in the Collegiate Division. Steven Sánchez joins as adjunct faculty to teach bass clarinet, and Matthew Siegel comes on
board as instructor of literature and creative writing. In addition, the Conservatory welcomes new music associates Ron
Valentino as opera coach and Xiyan Wang as collegiate accompanist.
Other faculty members are taking on new roles this year. New department chairs include Jodi Levitz and Mack McCray
(Strings and Piano Chamber Music) and Brian Neilson (General Education), while Robert Britton will also chair a
new department whose name and scope await description. Curtis Pajer, previously an opera coach and collegiate vocal
accompanist, has been appointed principal coach of the Opera Theatre program.
If music is the universal language, then chamber music, at
least for the conservatories in San Francisco and Shanghai, is
a shared dialect. This past May, both schools came together
in Shanghai to co-produce the first in a new series of annual
chamber music festivals. The program included several days
of master classes, rehearsals and coachings, culminating
in performances featuring joint ensembles of faculty and
students from each school.
Yehudi Wyner, winner of the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for music
who managed to catch the festival, called it a wonderful event,
remarking, “You really brought the A-team!” Lest we feel
left out on the home front, faculty violist Jodi Levitz, while
perched in the Conservatory library, worked with students
in Shanghai during a real-time, virtual coaching session
witnessed by audiences in each city, thanks to technology
provided by Conservatory partner Polycom, Inc. Look for a
forthcoming release of highlights recorded by noted engineer
Jorg Jecklin—China’s first classical Blu-Ray DVD.
This season’s installment promises to be even more exciting,
as the Conservatory plays host to the next festival March 12-
16, 2012, at 50 Oak Street. Students and faculty from both
conservatories will team up to perform masterworks as well
as premieres of commissioned compositions. To get involved,
contact Alexander Brose at awb@sfcm.edu or 415.503.6263.

A Heavenly Act.
Joshua Kosman of
the San Francisco
Chronicle wrote
that “conductor
Nicole Paiement
led a crisp, finely tuned
performance populated by a cast of fine
singers” and praised “the excellent new-
music outfit Ensemble Parallèle.” And
according to Allan Ulrich of the Financial
Times, “Engaging the contemporary
music organisation, Ensemble Parallèle
proved an astute decision. Under founder
Nicole Paiement’s attentive direction, the
22 players communicated the wheezing
vitality and sheer gusto of Thomson’s
Midwestern folk and hymn tunes and
open harmonies that fuse so brilliantly
with Stein’s mesmerising syntactical
excursions.”

Divisions. Gordon comes
from the Aspen Music Festival

as vice president and dean.
She is well acquainted with
the Conservatory, having served as
admission officer in the Collegiate
Division from 1994 to 2000. “I
am thrilled to be returning to the
Conservatory for this exciting position,”
says Gordon. “Both the Preparatory

have an excellent and dedicated

offered reflect that. I look forward
to working with everyone to create a
dynamic future for the two divisions.”

Singing Beijing
To many Americans, China might
appear an unusual place for serious
singers to train for Western opera
careers. But one of the hottest spots
for opera instruction this summer
happened to be in Beijing, in a new
summer program called I Sing Beijing.
And impressively, three Conservatory
students—Evgenia Chaverdova, Emma
McNairy and Julia Metzler—were
among 20 talented singers chosen
from more than 200 auditionees to
participate in the inaugural program.
(Chaverdova and Metzler study with
César Ulloa, while McNairy is a student
of Pamela Fry.)
A unique cross-cultural musical
experience, I Sing Beijing affords training
in both Western and Chinese opera
techniques through individual coaching
sessions and daily Mandarin lessons,
plus acting and performance classes and
lectures on both Eastern and Western
opera topics. Singing in Mandarin was
doubtless a novelty for most of the non-
Chinese participants, but Metzler assured
in an interview with msnbc.com that
the linguistic challenges weren’t
insurmountable: “The sounds are
foreign, but they are no more difficult
than singing in less frequent operatic
languages, like Czech.” The program
culminated in a gala concert at Beijing’s
National Centre for the Performing
Arts, with many of China’s leading artistic
directors and conductors in attendance.
Wind Winners
at Fischoff
Elise Blatchford (M.M., flute, ‘07) and Leander Star (B.M., horn, ‘07) belong to the
Chicago-based wind quintet The City of Tomorrow, which recently won the gold medal
at the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition. In October the group embarks
on a Fischoff Gold Medal Tour, which includes performances in Evanston, Illinois and
on WFMT Chicago radio. Blatchford and Star studied with Robert Ward, Jonathan
Ring and Timothy Day.
Thanks to the help and heart of Conservatory faculty Mark
Inouye, ten trumpet students played the national anthem
at AT&T Park before the San Francisco Giants game on
September 27. Two even used herald trumpets loaned
from San Francisco Opera (courtesy of Adam Luftman, the
Opera’s principal trumpet and future Conservatory trumpet
faculty next year), with specially designed school banners to
boot. Inouye bought tickets for students to stay for the game,
while he and fellow faculty member David Burkhart watched
from the stadium’s free viewing area. Sharks and Warriors,
take note: If the Giants’ 7-0 shutout of the Colorado Rockies
that night is any indication, you might want to listen to that
audition tape waiting in your mailbox.

international stature. A winner of the
Frinna Awerbuch and Washington
International piano competitions,
Kang has appeared around the
world as soloist with the likes of the
London Philharmonic and Moscow
Philharmonic orchestras. With a
number of noteworthy recordings of
J.S. Bach under his belt, Kang is in the
midst of an ambitious five-year project to
perform the composer’s entire keyboard
output—no mean feat! He has taught at
the Peabody Institute and South Korea’s
National University of the Arts, is artistic
director of Leipzig’s Euro Music Festival
and Academy and an instructor at the
Ishikawa Music Festival in Japan. He
joined the piano faculty at The Juilliard
School this fall. He serves on prestigious
competition juries and his students
have won major competitions, including
the Van Cliburn. A graduate of Seoul
National University, South-Korean born
Kang studied with Mack McCray at
the Conservatory before completing a
D.M.A. at Peabody.
Achilles Liarmakopoulos (B.M.,
trombone, ‘06), a former student of Mark
Lawrence, is the new trombonist of the
Canadian Brass. Chuck Daellenbach,
tubist and leader of the ensemble, notes,
“We are thrilled to have Achilles join
us. He is young, charismatic and one
of the finest trombonists performing
today. We all love his presence, focus and
personality and think he will be an ideal
member of our ensemble.” About joining
the Brass, Liarmakopoulos says, “There
are no words to express how excited and
honored I feel to be part of this legendary
and phenomenal group.” In March,
Liarmakopoulos released his debut solo
CD, Tango Distinto, on the Naxos label,
featuring works of Astor Piazzolla.
Participants enjoyed cultural experiences
also, including a feast at the Summer
Palace where the singers were the guests
of honor. “What particularly struck me
. . . was our host’s speech about his
intended goal of wanting to preserve
Chinese culture even through all of the
innovation and development he conjures
in his business ventures,” said McNairy
in a blog post.
With luminaries from both the
American and Chinese opera worlds on
faculty, I Sing Beijing has attracted media
notice from the likes of the Los Angeles
Times, National Public Radio and Time
magazine for its innovative blend of East
and West. It will even be the subject of a
documentary by acclaimed director Allan
Miller; watch for it on PBS later this year.
Sophomore guitarist Matthew Lyons,
a student of David Tanenbaum, made
a big impression this summer in the

A Message from the President
As the curtain opens on another year at the San Francisco
Conservatory of Music, I am once again filled with
anticipation about the abundant programs being planned by
our students, faculty and guests. The 2011-2012 year promises
to be one of great artistic and educational achievements
across the board.
At the same time, I look back proudly at the Conservatory’s
many accomplishments of the past 12 months. Admissions
standards continued to achieve impressive thresholds in
terms of both selectivity and yield rates. Artistic highlights
included a landmark celebration of the 25th
anniversary of our
chamber music program and the first annual San Francisco-
Shanghai International Chamber Music Festival, for which
Conservatory students and faculty traveled across the Pacific
to the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.
And speaking of anniversaries, the Conservatory’s own 100th
anniversary looms on the horizon. Though 2017 is still several
years away, planning has already begun for what will be a
historic celebration of our hundred years in existence. As
our centennial plans take shape, we will be sure to keep you
informed of major developments.
In many respects, this coming year will also be about
continuity and building on our success. Following an alumni
recital by Weigang Li this past
April, we are launching a full
Alumni Recital Series that
brings several of our highly
accomplished alumni back to our
halls. Additionally, the annual
San Francisco-Shanghai festival
initiated last May comes to San
Francisco this year, and we look
forward to welcoming the Shanghai delegates for a fruitful
collaboration that further bolsters the thriving relationship
between our schools.
It is truly an exciting time here at the San Francisco
Conservatory of Music, and I remain extremely grateful
for your support in making this school an extraordinary
home for musical activity. As we look toward the coming
year, I hope you will continue to keep the Conservatory in
your thoughts by generously making a gift to support our
students.
Appreciatively yours,
Colin Murdoch

years as president, including the school’s historic move
to its current home at 50 Oak Street. Rising standards in
student quality, the recruitment of several outstanding
faculty teacher-artists and important relationships with
world-class guest performers have also marked Murdoch’s
tenure at the helm.

In memoriam
group of recent graduates already beginning to make a name
for themselves. (Examiner.com’s Stephen Smoliar called
their performance of Mendelssohn’s Trio in C Minor “a truly
stunning account of this composer at the top of his game.”)
“The first alumni recital came right on the heels of student
orientation, and it was the first performance of the new school
year,” notes Trustee Gary Rust (B.M., piano, ’83), chair of the
Conservatory’s Alumni Network Committee, which crafted
the series and chooses the participants. “For this performance
we wanted to feature recent alumni, embracing them as
new graduates of the Conservatory as well as inspiring both
beginning and returning students.”
The second recital ties in with the Conservatory’s annual
Fanfare Luncheon, a private event for members of the
Conservatory Society saluting the achievements of a
distinguished alumnus. This year’s honoree, Choong Mo Kang
(M.M., piano, ’86), just joined the piano faculty at The Juilliard
School and will take the stage for a public performance on
January 21. (See related story on page 5.) To conclude the series
Rust sought out a marquee artist, and he certainly got one in
Hai-Ye Ni (B.M., cello, ’92), principal cellist of the Philadelphia
Orchestra, who performs on March 28.
Installing a formal alumni performance series brings a
number of artistic benefits to the Conservatory. “The Alumni
Recital Series is a great way to enhance the breadth of the
Conservatory’s offerings,” says Rust. “It’s also an ideal way
to display to the general public the talent pool of our alumni
community.” And in the spirit of goodwill, all performers in
the series generously donate their services.

The Conservatory and
the Community
Humanity has existed for
centuries without machines,
automobiles, airplanes,
telephones, radios, but it has
never been able to exist without
music.
From the remotest times in history,
music has been an important social
factor; the greatest thinkers have
recognized its educational and moral
power. Thus, it is a necessity and not a
luxury.
In the turmoil of our industrial age we
need more than ever an outlet for our
unemployed emotional energies.
Music, as well as the other arts, ought to
be an inherent part of our lives.
Its study, which thus far, has been more
or less the privilege of certain classes,
ought to become the privilege of all.
Every human being is entitled to share
of beauty.
The aim of a Conservatory is not only
to educate the professional musicians,
but to offer to all the means of
studying, understanding and loving the
masterpieces of music.
Its ultimate purpose is to raise the
spiritual level of human beings.
Any welfare institution of this kind
ought to be free from commercialism,
financially independent and supported
by the community for which it is built.
Such a Conservatory will return in a
hundred fold what it receives from
the community in making a better
humanity and contributing to the moral
health of the nation.

1928 Conservatory
Advertisement
Updike writes, “From one of the
Conservatory’s scrapbooks, I found this
advertisement for their winter term
which was run in 1928 in a number
of Bay Area newspapers (listed on the
top left side of the ad). Ernest Bloch is
listed as the Artistic Director, Ada and
Lillian are Associate Directors. The
departments taught are printed here,
along with the instructors. Additional
subjects, such as History, French,
German and Italian, are also listed.
“News clippings such as these tell us
a great deal about the history of the
Conservatory. We look forward to sharing
more as we continue to arrange, preserve,
and prepare the collections for use!”
Pepe Romero, guitar legend and guest of honor at the 2011
Conservatory Gala, received an honorary Doctor of Music
degree and delivered an address to the graduating class at the
Conservatory’s Commencement ceremony this past May. In
September, Romero appeared alongside the San Francisco
Guitar Quartet (Patrick O’Connell [M.M., guitar, ’06], Jon
Mendle [M.M., guitar, ‘10], David Dueñas [M.M., guitar, ’94] and
Mark Simons) on the opening night performances of the 2011
La Guitarra California Festival, presented by Cal Poly Arts in
San Luis Obispo, California. Guitarist Thomas Viloteau (P.S.D.,
guitar, ’09) also performed at the festival.
Composition Department Chair Dan Becker has announced the next stage in the evolution of his department’s collaborative
endeavors: the Conservatory’s first Percussion Project. A joint effort with the percussion department, chaired by faculty
member and San Francisco Symphony Principal Percussionist Jack Van Geem, this undertaking will be modeled on two
previously established programs, the Viola Project and the guitar department’s “Doublespeak.” Keep an eye out for a concert
on December 4, or just follow the sound of the drums . . .
