After the End of Music History is a three-day international conference assessing the state of musical research, with three central concerns of Richard Taruskin's scholarship as points of departure: musical censorship and canon formation; nationalism, neoclassicism, and serialism in the twentieth century; and modernism in the early music movement. Additional issues such as the purported demise of the notated tradition, the rise of vernacular and world musics as subjects of academic study, and the transformative effects of digital technologies will be addressed by keynote speakers and invited participants. The conference will feature two related performances. First will be a stage adaptation of Alexander Pushkin's novel-in-verse Eugene Onegin by Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky with incidental music by Sergey Prokofiev, banned by the Soviets in 1936 and never subsequently performed. There will also be an informal cabaret night of remixed music from classical repertoire to global pop.

On Thursday, February 9 at 8:00 p.m. in Richardson Auditorium in Alexander Hall the Prokofiev/Krzhizhanovsky "Eugene Onegin", banned by the Stalinist regime in 1936,will receive a much-delayed world premiere. Prokofiev's original score, orchestrated for 40 instruments, will be performed by the Princeton Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Rossen Milanov. Woven into this performance will be a dance-intensive staging of several major theatrical episodes directed by Princeton dance faculty member Rebecca Lazier with choreography by Princeton alumna Sydney Schiff and choral interludes by the Princeton Glee Club under the direction of Gabriel Crouch. The performance will also include the world premiere of a Concerto for Bass Drum commissioned from Prokofiev's grandson, Gabriel Prokofiev, and performed by renowned percussionist Joby Burgess.

Democratic, irreverent and traditionally experimental, Alvin Curran travels in a computerized covered wagon between the Golden Gate and the Tiber River, and makes music for every occasion with any sounding phenomena -- a volatile mix of lyricism and chaos, structure and indeterminacy, fog horns, fiddles and fiddle heads. He is dedicated to the restoration of dignity to the profession of making non-commercial music as part of a personal search for future social, political and spiritual forms. Curran's music-making embraces all the contradictions (composed/improvised, tonal/atonal, maximal/minimal...) in a serene dialectical encounter. His works feature taped/sampled natural sounds, piano, synthesizers, computers, violin, percussion, shofar, ship horns, accordion and chorus. Whether in the intimate form of his well-known solo performances, or pure chamber music, experimental radio works or large-scale site-specific sound environments and installations, all forge a very personal language from all the languages through dedicated research and recombinant invention. http://alvincurran.com/

This concert is presented in collaboration with the Princeton University Art Museum's exhibit "JOHN CONSTABLE: OIL SKETCHES FROM THE VICTORIA AND ALBERT MUSEUM" on display March 17 to June 12, 2012. The paintings of John Constable have long been recognized as a precursor to Impressionism.
