The Chelsea Art Museum (CAM) again presents the Chelsea Music Festival (CMF) for a second year from June 14 - 18, 2011 at CAM and other locations throughout the cultural hub of Chelsea, including The General Theological Seminary, St. Paul's Church and the Leo Baeck Institute, in New York City.

CMF celebrates music and art with world-renowned musicians and exciting newcomers on the international music stage and features Classical and Jazz music alongside World and New York premieres of works by living composers.

Artists include:

• Anne-Sophie Mutter Foundation violinist and featured artist Ye-Eun Choi
• Grammy award-winning jazz bassist John Patitucci
• cellist and CMF 2011 Artist-in-Residence Alban Gerhardt
• violinist Augustin Hadelich
• New York Philharmonic violist Rebecca Young
• pianist Helen Huang
• Composers-in-Residence Brad Balliett and Doug Balliett
• Visual Artist-in-Residence Carri Jobe

The CMF 2011 schedule includes daily evening concerts, a family program, panel discussion, late night events and impromptu daytime performances at various Chelsea landmarks such as the High Line and Hudson River Park.  

From the traditional to the experimental; the Baroque to the Romantic; and from Hip Hop to Jazz, the events celebrate composers such as Franz Liszt and Gustav Mahler, as well as a wide range of contemporary composers.

Highlights:

The Festival Opening Night – Liszt I: The Protagonist
The Chelsea Music Festival Opening Night begins the journey of exploring the theme of Franz Liszt by retracing the composer’s musical life and influences with music by Bach, Beethoven, Liszt and Schubert.  Champagne reception à la Liszt with Festival artists to follow.

June 15, Wednesday – Mahler & Radical Departures
This evening event combines the theme of Mahler with an art exhibit entitled Radical Departures at the Leo Baeck Institute, bringing together the work of Jewish and non-Jewish German artists whose work was eventually branded as "degenerate" by the Nazis and who were forced to flee Germany.

June 16, Thursday – Liszt II: The Organist
On St. Paul Church’s magnificent 1897 Jardine organ, international virtuoso Stephen Tharp performs organ works by Franz Liszt in dialogue with a new composition from Composer-in-Residence Brad Balliett for choir and four bassoons, featuring ensemble Cantori New York, conducted by Mark Shapiro.

June 17, Friday – Liszt III: The Melodist – Carte Blanche to Alban Gerhardt
Internationally renowned star cellist and CMF 2011 Artist-in-Residence Alban Gerhardt collaborates with Festival musicians to create an evening filled with music centered around this evening’s theme, exploring the beauty and necessity of melody.

June 18, Saturday morning – Family Event: How to Compose in Color and Sound II
This event allows children and adults alike to have a hands-on opportunity to step into the shoes of a composer and learn about the process of musical creation. 

Participants will experience the sounds of various instruments, collaborate on a graphic score composition, and play their composition with Festival musicians. They will also create visual artwork inspired by live music and the museum’s surroundings.

This event features Composers-in-Residence Doug Balliett and Brad Balliett, Chelsea Music Festival musicians and Festival Visual Artist-in-Residence Carri Jobe.

June 18, Saturday – "Voyager": Festival Finale with John Patitucci and Friends
Grammy award-winning bassist and jazz composer John Patitucci presents original compositions and Liszt-inspired arrangements, joined by jazz pianist Helen Sung, drummer Marcus Gilmore and Festival musicians in a unique blend of musical forces and styles. Festival Finale reception with all artists follows.

Also presented is a talk on Saturday afternoon:

The Festival Talks – Paths on the Upright: Improvisation and journeying the musical highway from classical to jazz
Festival musicians John Patitucci, Artist-in-Residence Alban Gerhardt, organist Stephen Tharp and Composers-in-Residence Brad Balliett and Doug Balliett discuss the impulse to create through improvisation, notation and communication.  Hosted by CMF Artistic Director Ken-David Masur.
