EDITORIAL

Dear Members and Friends,

The year 2014 was a very important, exciting and successful one for the IMZ International Music + Media Centre:

After 30 years we have moved the Avant Première Screenings from midem in Cannes to Berlin and founded our own and internationally unique trade-fair for performing arts films, the Avant Première Music + Media Market in Berlin.

Thanks to all dedicated IMZ members and friends who have contributed to this event it was a huge success, already in its first edition! We had the opportunity to welcome more than 320 participants from all over the world, started a cooperation with EFM/Berlinale and thereby strengthened the position of both performing arts films in the international film industry and the IMZ itself!

For successfully implementing joint projects, initiatives and events such as the video li-brary & special lecture at Classical:NEXT, the International Emmy® Awards Semi-Final Judging, a special IMZ session at the IAMA Media Day, the Film Festival at Wiener Rathausplatz, open air made-to-measure music film festivals for the general public in Brno, Yekaterinburg and Curitiba, industry film screenings and the 2nd edition of the IMZ Academy at ITF Golden Prague Festival, the IMZ World Music Film Screenings at WOMEX, a lively exchange with Opera Europa at their Autumn Conference in Brno and many more – it takes trustworthy and valuable cooperation partners, to whom we owe a debt of gratitude, our sincere thanks for having once again made an important contribution to promoting and fostering the cause of the IMZ.

If not for their support as well as the support of all our IMZ members, the IMZ could not look back on such a successful year that has led us into a new era. Therefore, on be-half of the IMZ board members and our creative and hard-working IMZ team in Vienna: Thank you for another wonderful year!

As for now, we are preparing and heading for the 2nd and even larger edition of Avant Première Music + Media Market Berlin 2015, with an extended programme from Avant Première Screenings presenting the latest 550 programmes of 70 companies worldwide to panel discussions tackling industry relevant topics or a special presenta-tion by Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institut presenting TIME Lab to the public. Last but not least we are proud to welcome big names of the scene to Avant Première’s Special Screenings: tenor Placido Domingo, conductor Daniel Barenboim and stage director Phillipp Stölzl as well as the 2Cellos Luka Šulić and Stjepan Hauser will be presenting their latest films in person.

Therefore we are already looking forward to seeing you at Avant Première Music + Media Market Berlin 2015 and at one or the other interesting IMZ event in the upcoming year!

Best wishes,

Arild ErikstadIMZ President

IMZ AT INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL AT THE CURITIBA BIENNIAL – FICBIC CYCLIST SQUARE OPERA HOUSE 15 November 2014 | Curitiba, Brazil

On 15 November, Brazil’s Proclamation of the Republic holiday, the International Film Festival at the Curitiba Biennial – FICBIC celebrated with a more than special screening: the opera Carmen, conducted by Andris Nel-sons. In partnership with both, the Austrian Embassy and the IMZ, FICBIC promoted the first ever outdoor Opera screening in Curitiba.

The screening took place at Cyclist Square, located right in the heart of the city and second home to an alternative crowd, always inclined to new experiences. Carmen also attracted to the Square opera fans and students of mu-sic from all over the city. About a hundred people were expected to show up, but due to the cold weather, few of them saw the screening until the end. Those who did, of course, were mesmerized and are hoping to see more opera shows in the next editions of the Festival…

STOCKHOLM CONCERT HALL & ROYAL STOCKHOLM PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRAThe Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra (RSPO) was founded in 1902 and with its already rich history, con-tinues to perform to international critical acclaim under its current Chief Conductor and Artistic Advisor Sakari Ora-mo. The Stockholm Concert Hall is world famous for hosting the annual Nobel Prize Concerts attended by both, the Nobel Laureates and the Swedish Royal Family. Recent guest artists have included Yo-Yo Ma, Renée Fleming and Riccardo Muti.

Even though mastery of the vast classical symphonic rep-ertoire is the core objective of the RSPO, the orchestra actively strives to renew and broaden the range of mu-sic available for a symphony orchestra through annual new music festivals and commissions of new pieces. The RSPO presents two annual festivals – the Stockholm Inter-national Composer Festival and the Composer Weekend, the latter focusing exclusively on contemporary Swedish composers.

Programming also includes in-depth presentations of rep-ertoire music, such as the upcoming Sibelius-Nielsen fes-tival that will be arranged in the spring of 2015 – featuring all the symphonies of Sibelius and Nielsen, presented in a 12-day event of 24 symphonies altoghether.

Verdi’s Messa da Requiem is in itself a work of superlatives: A towering structure of blazing brass, mighty choral mass-es and tour-de-force passages for four soloists, a work of deepest and most heartfelt intimacy, a mass for the dead without any mawkish under-tones.

CLASART CLASSICMet Live In HD Season With Macbeth Starring Anna Netrebko And A Sparkling New Production Of Le Nozze Di Figaro

The ninth season of the Met live in HD, presented in Germany and Aus-tria by Clasart Classic, kicked off on 11 October with an undisputable high-light: Verdi's Shakespearean drama Macbeth, starring Anna Netrebko in the vocally and dramatically demand-ing role of Lady Macbeth. Former Royal Shakespeare Company artistic director Adrian Noble's acclaimed production, led by Met Principal Con-ductor Fabio Luisi, features a “luxu-rious cast” (Financial Times) including Željko Lučić in the title role, Joseph Calleja as Macduff, and René Pape as Banquo.

The Met live in HD season continued with a new production of Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro. Richard Eyre, who’s staging is set in a stately manor in 1930s Seville, “skillfully built the comic ensembles to climaxes that made you laugh out loud” (Wall Street Journal). Ildar Abdrazakov sings the title role. The youthful cast also includes Mar-lis Petersen as Susanna; Peter Mat-tei in one of his most acclaimed roles as Count Almaviva; Amanda Majeski as Almaviva’s wife, the long-suffering Countess; and Isabel Leonard as the boisterous page Cherubino. James Levine conducts a “ravishing, intri-cately wrought evening of music, hu-mor and emotional depth” (New York Magazine).

Together with an intoxicating Carmen, the first three transmissions of the season attracted over 100,000 spec-tators to movie theaters in Germany and Austria.

All titles from the Met live in HD se-ries are available for TV, distributed by Clasart Classic.

A Film by Reiner E. Moritz to celebrate 50 years of IMZ – International Music + Media Centre

Featuring Glenn Gould, Herbert von Karajan, Leonard Bernstein, Anna Netrebko, Igor Stravinsky, Arturo Toscanini, Pierre Boulez, Sergiu Celibidache, Francis Poulenc, Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, José Carreras, Jonas Kaufmann, Franz Welser-Möst and the first television images ever of a regular service by the BBC in 1936.

Music on television has come in various guises over the last 5O years. It was already part of the programme mix at the very beginning and is still around, more sophisticated than ever, live and event driven and at it’s best reaching millions – at any rate more people than those experiencing music in opera houses, concert halls or other venues. Television has been instrumental in popularizing music, preserving precious moments of music making and helping to create music and performances which would not exist without it.
