SUMMARY:Lecture: Mike Lee on Fortepianos (Trinity)
DESCRIPTION:\n\nMike Cheng-Yu Lee is one of a new generation of pianists w
 ho is at home performing on pianos that span the early 18th to the late 20
 th centuries. Awarded Second Prize and Audience Prize at the 2011 Westfie
 ld International Fortepiano Competition by a jury that included Robert Le
 vin and the late Christopher Hogwood\, his performances have garnered atte
 ntion for the fresh perspectives they bring to familiar repertoire. For hi
 s debut recital in Australia he received a rare five-star review in Limel
 ight Magazine: “Try as one might\, it was hard to avoid cliché response
 s like ‘stunning’\, even ‘electrifying’. I don’t think I have he
 ard a Mozart recital quite like this. I heard things in Mozart’s music I
  had never thought possible and certainly had never encountered before.”
 \n\nAs a chamber musician\, Mike regularly collaborates with both modern a
 nd period performers and ensembles. He has appeared as soloist with the Ne
 w World Symphony at the invitation of Michael Tilson Thomas and collaborat
 ed with musicians from the Formosa\, Juilliard\, and Aizuri quartets among
  others.\n\nMike is regularly invited to guest teach and perform at some o
 f the most prominent music schools around the world\, including the Royal 
 Academy of Music\, Oberlin Conservatory\, Eastman School of Music\, the Th
 ornton School of Music at the University of Southern California\, the Bien
 en School of Music at Northwestern University\, and the University of Mich
 igan–Ann Arbor\, among others. In 2015-17 he was Visiting Assistant Prof
 essor at the Jacobs School of Music\, Indiana University–Bloomington.\n\
 nAs a scholar\, Mike's interests lie at the intersection between music the
 ory and analysis\, performance studies\, and organology. To date he has pu
 blished on aspects of form\, meter\, and tempo in Schubert (Music Theory O
 nline) and has a forthcoming article in 19th-Century Music that develops
  a new hermeneutic interpretation of Chopin's E-minor prelude drawing on a
 utograph and biographical sources\, analysis\, and performance studies. Ad
 ditionally\, Mike has contributed writings to Early Music America Magazin
 e and 18th-Century Music.\n\nIn more recent years\, Mike has assumed cur
 atorship of important instrument collections. In 2017-19 he was director o
 f the Australian National University Keyboard Institute which houses one
  of the southern hemisphere's largest collections of historical pianos. Cu
 rrently\, he is Artist/Scholar-in-Residence at the Cornell Center for His
 torical Keyboards where he divides his work between performance and schol
 arship\, developing programs for the center\, teaching into the DMA progra
 m\, and curatorship of the center's historical piano collection.\n\nMike s
 tudied at the Yale School of Music and holds a Ph.D. in musicology from Co
 rnell University with a dissertation that was awarded the Donald J. Grout
  Memorial Dissertation Prize. His teachers include Malcolm Bilson\, Boris 
 Berman\, Michael Friedmann\, and the renowned Haydn scholar James Webster.
 \n\n\n\n\nPlaying Beethoven "His Way" – Do We Really Want To?\n\n\n\n\n\
 n\n\n\n\nThough performing music on the instrument for which it was writte
 n might seem like an unproblematic idea\, this lecture explores with the a
 udience the many philosophical difficulties in fact inherent in the so-cal
 led "early music movement" – a movement in the 20th century that sought 
 to revive old instruments and their performing practices that were believe
 d to have been lost through history.\n\nThe lecture will include live illu
 strations on two representative examples of late 18th and early 19th centu
 ry pianos from the Viennese tradition – courtesy of the Cornell Center f
 or Historical Keyboards.\n\nThis event is free but reservations are requir
 ed as seating is limited. For help registering\, please call\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
