Juventas Kicks Off
[…] followed by dozens of dramatic pauses. When the music failed to engage, the restrained use of the sustaining pedal could be admired. It was hard to sense where the piece was going, but therein perhaps lies the tantalization of new music. With 10 ensembles offering their work, the most memorable came from Floating Tower buoyed by Juventas New Music. It was the New England premiere of The Drumf and the Rheinmaidens by Matti Kovler. It offered Wagner’s rheinmaidens in a Trumpian universe where a dwarf named The Drumf has newly stolen the rheingold. The maidens, Melania (Ariadne Grief), Marla (Sophie Delphis), and Ivana (Casey Keenan), bewail its loss in full operatic gusto, with Marla and Ivana sporting in mermaid-like tails and bustiers enhanced with vast cones. Melania, fearful that she will soon age out as a wife, sings a surprising heartfelt aria listing all the things […]

"The Drumf and the Rhinegold," by composer Matti Kovler, is a Donald Trump-inspired parody of Richard Wagner's "Ring" cycle. To be presented at the Boston New Music Festival kick-off concert at Oberon in Cambridge on Nov. 2, the short operatic satire follows three Rhinemaidens, water-nymphs named Ivana, Marla, and Melania, as they attempt to take down an evil overlord who stole the mystical Rhinegold, which bestows world domination upon its owner.

At the conclusion of her first week of residency, on the afternoon of July 19th, Clarice, Keita, the Boston Landmarks Orchestra, and our young collaborators will appear in the Outside the Box festival on Boston Common. Outside the Box was inaugurated in 2013. We are pleased to be a part of it this year for the first time. Prior to our concert with Clarice, the orchestra will perform in Boston-based composer Matti Kovler’s children’s opera, Ami and Tami. Matti’s work is a reimagining of the Hansel and Gretel story. Clarice and Keita will return to Boston in August to perform as soloists on the Landmarks Orchestra’s series at the Hatch Shell on Wednesday, August 12 (with a rain date of August 13). The evening’s theme is story telling and folklore. Our young collaborators will no doubt be thrilled to perform with us on the Esplanade. Her first […]

Light and Darkness at NEC
Marti Kovel thanks players and audience (Teni Patterson photo) Finding Pierce Hall was easy, after all. I had never been there before. It turned out be just a half a block away from New England Conservatory’s main building. A long line had already gathered in the hallway awaiting the “The Unbearable Lightness: First Candle.” The program booklet informed us that The Jewish Music Theater would be a celebrating the first candle of Hanukkah with a multimedia portrait of music by composer, Matti Kovler. In addition, and to my surprise, this celebration was to take on another mission, that of a presentation in partial completion of the Doctor of Musical Arts degree. Kovler is a student of Michael Gandolfi and John Heiss at the conservatory. BMInt was asked to review this event and I was given the assignment. So I will give my account of the hour-long nonstop celebration-presentation, all the […]
