Full text of ' Digitized by the Internet Arcliive in 2014 I OVERTONES CURTIS INSTITUTE OF MUSIC Vol. 1 Fall 2010 C I Generous Donors 2009-10 DAVID LUDWIG, PH.D., most recently of the Composition and Musical Studies faculties, assumes a new role with the 2010-11 school year: artistic chair of Performance Studies. He will oversee the programming and management of more than 150 public and private performances by Curtis students each year and will remain on the Composition faculty. 'David has been a valuable artistic and educational asset to Curtis in many capacities,' said Curtis President Roberto Diaz. 'He is well positioned to oversee our school's distinctive 'learn by doing' approach.' Ludwig joined the Composition faculty in 2009. A member of the Musical Studies faculty since 2002, he served as acting chair of Musical Studies for the past two years and is artistic director of Curtis 20/21, the school's contemporary music ensemble.

He recently curated Curtis's celebration of the Samuel Barber centenary. Ludwig is an active composer, whose music has been performed internationally by leading musicians. JONATHAN COOPERSMITH, a member of the Musical Studies faculty since 2005, has been named the chair of that department after a two-year national search. 'Every student at Curtis moves through a challenging musical studies curriculum,' said Curtis Dean John Mangan. 'With his wide-ranging knowledge and creative approach to complicated material, Jonathan will be a superb steward of this process.'
Coopersmith has taught harmony, counterpoint, music history, and solfege for singers at Curtis since 2005. He also moderates the Conductor's Forum, a career development course for conductors. A native of Princeton, N.J., Mr. Coopersmith is the artistic director of Nashirah, the associate conductor of the Philadelphia Singers, and a guest chorus director of the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Pennsylvania Ballet. Clarinetist RICARDO MORALES joins the major performance faculty after coaching woodwind chamber music since 2008.
'We're delighted that Ricardo will spend more time teaching our students,' said President Diaz. 'He is one of the greatest clarinetists of our time and a tremendous artist, and our students will benefit greatly from him.' Morales joined the Philadelphia Orchestra in 2003 as principal clarinet. Prior to that, he was principal clarinet of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, a position he assumed at the age of twenty-one under the direction of James Levine. His performances have been met with critical acclaim, and the Philadelphia Inquirer hailed his appointment to the Philadelphia Orchestra, stating it 'may represent the most salutary personnel event of the orchestra's last decade.' ❖ Jonathan Coopersmith PHOTO: DAVID SWANSON Ricardo Morales CONTENTS VV.l.
