FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MAY 12, 2018 Composer, educator Theodore Wiprud joining SD Symphony Orchestra as Music Alive composer-in-residence SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – Renowned composer and educator Theodore Wiprud is joining the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra (SDSO) for a Music Alive composer-in-residency that extends through June 2019. The composer-orchestra pairing is one of only five across the nation to participate in Music Alive, a national residency program of the League of American Orchestras and New Music USA. Maestro Delta David Gier, the SDSO’s music director, said Wiprud has traveled to South Dakota twice for performances of his works, and the SDSO is privileged and excited to welcome him into the family. “Ted Wiprud is a major coup for the SDSO,” Gier said. “He is a composer of national and international standing, with experience writing for many different kinds of ensembles, incorporating diverse musical styles from all over the world.” Music Alive prioritizes collaborative work and immersive experiences for composers, orchestra musicians, artistic leadership, and community members. Music Alive hopes to demonstrate – through active partnership with the participating residency pairings – the power and value of living composers working at the center of American orchestras. In addition to being a well-established composer, Wiprud is an internationally renowned educator, serving as co-chair of the New York City Arts in Education Roundtable and, until February, as the New York Philharmonic’s vice president for education. During his 13 years with the New York Philharmonic, Wiprud created and hosted the iconic Young People’s Concerts and took the Very Young Composers program national and to many countries around the world. “He will work with Lakota and Dakota children on similar composing projects, beginning this summer, which will be performed by musicians from the SDSO as part of our Lakota Music Project,” Gier said. Wiprud said the opportunity is very special for him in several ways. “In the 1990s, I administered earlier orchestra residency programs at Meet The Composer, the predecessor to New Music USA, always secretly wanting to hold one of the residencies myself,” Wiprud said. “And then the chance to work with Delta David Gier and the SDSO, the acknowledged leaders in sustained engagement of non-traditional audiences, and prior champions of my work – this is a dream come true.” Wiprud often explores different musical cultures in his own music, including Korean traditional music known as gugak. Some of his major works include: • A Sinfonietta (2016), premiered by the South Dakota Symphony • A Violin Concerto (Katrina) composed for Ittai Shapira and released with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic on Champs Hill Records • A one-act opera, My Last Duchess, with libretto by Tom Dulack based on poetry by Robert Browning • Girl on Fire, a dramatic song cycle created with poet Emma Stace Darling • A number of pieces featuring such gugak instruments as p’iri, gayageum, and haegeum For information, please contact: Dirk Lammers, Cetera Services PR and Marketing Manager South Dakota Symphony Orchestra [email protected] (605) 254-3472 PH: (605) 335-7933 301 S.
