the English version is below 首届2008上海音乐学院当代音乐周经过了长时期的精心准备，终于开张了。 音乐周的目的在于宣传与保护当代具有前沿性和实验性的新作品，展示新音乐的新成果。让国际上最新的音乐、最新的著名的大师级的作品与上海的听众直接见面，让我们共享人类创造的新文明，也让本院作曲家的新作品直接面对听众。而且，我们选择一位了作曲大师作为驻节作曲家，开一场他的个人作品音乐会、一场他自己的讲座、两场为年轻作曲家而设的大师班，作为首选，我们选择了富有深厚中国文化传统根基的，又具有西方当代音乐素养的瞿小松先生。他的音乐为我们带来了一股富有老庄精神的、富有禅宗意味的、大音希声的、勇敢创新的、独具一格的中国传统文人的高雅清风。 多国组成的无疆界新音乐团为我们带来了许多中国首演的作品，比如法国频谱学派鼻祖格里塞的《旋涡》、意大利著名作曲家贝里奥的《咏叹调》、希腊著名随机作曲家泽纳基斯的《忒塔》和德国噪音作曲家拉亨曼的弦乐四重奏《哭泣》。 美国钢琴家罗森克伦兹则为我们带来了许多鲜为人见的作曲家和作品。如莱哲斯基的《钢琴小品第四号》、艾斯夫的《康科德奏鸣曲第二号》、维尔丢斯的《梦的本体》（为钢琴与嘣盒而作）。 作为中国人举办的当代音乐周，毫无疑问，中国作曲家是我们的宠儿，他们是我们坚定要保护与扶持的对象。除了瞿小松先生的早期成名作以及近期的探索新作，我们还选择了本院作曲家民乐以及西乐的新作品，以及在海外开始成名的中国青年作曲家粱雷和黄若的作品。 为鼓励学生演奏绎好当代音乐，《上音现代音乐演唱演奏课系列音乐会》的第十场音乐会也将纳入音乐周，它将以高标准来推出本院中青年教师的优秀作品。 为了大师班的讲座同国际接轨，我们同时也请了瑞士著名作曲家和教育家葛迪伯来阐述他的音乐并为同学的作品进行点评。 声音的艺术装置是近年来国际新兴的一种艺术形式，作为一个当代的音乐周，引入声音装置能够更好地拉近当代音乐与听众的距离，更好地吸引听众的参与兴趣，使我们的生活环境更加艺术化、使我们的当代音乐更加人文化。任教于德国的加拿大作曲家罗宾·密纳德将用当代音响装点我们的校园，同时，还将向我们展示他的电子音乐作品。 电子音乐已成为当代音乐不可分割的一个重要组成部分，上海音乐学院电子音乐工程系所邀请的三位外籍电子音乐作曲家和他们的讲座以及他们的一场电子音乐音乐会都将为我们的音乐周增添绚丽的当代色彩。 当代音乐周艺术总监 温德青 2008年6月3日，上海
The purpose of this Music Week is to promote and protect advent-garde and experimental music by unfolding the achievements in new music, to bring Shanghai audience face-to-face contact with the new music by new international maestros while enjoying the new civilization created by humankind, and to introduce new music by Composers of Shanghai Conservatory. During the Music Week, Qu Xiaosong, selected as the composer-in-residence considering his combination of rooted Chinese traditional culture and western contemporary musical cultivation, is to give a portrait concert, a lecture on his own works and two master classes for young composers. His elegant, ethereal but innovative music is flowing with Taoist and Zen spirit and incarnates unique features of Chinese traditional literati.
Ensemble GRENZENLOS is to bring us a number of music works which premiere in China, including Vortex Temporum by Gérard Grisey, one of the founders of French Spectral Music, Air from Opera by Luciano Berio, a well-known Italian composer, Tetras by Iannis Xenakis, a famous Greek composer of stochastic music, ‘Grido’ String Quartet by Helmut Lachenmann, a German composer of noise music. The American pianist, Thomas Rosenkranz, is to present us a profusion of excellent music by less well-known composers, like Piano Piece no.4 by Frederic Rzewski, Piano Sonata no. 2 “Concord Mass” by Charles Ives, The Body of Your Dreams (for piano and boombox) by Jacob Ter Veldhuis. Chinese composers, the objects of our protection and support, are sure to be promoted especially favorably during the Music Week. Except for Qu Xiaosong’s early master pieces and some of his recent pioneer works, new music of traditional Chinese and western styles by composers in Shanghai Conservatory are carefully picked out as well as some of the works by Liang Lei and Huang Ruo, two young Chinese composers who are beginning to become famous overseas. In order to encourage students to become skillful in performing contemporary music, Practice Concert x by Contemporary Music Performance Class of Shanghai Conservatory is also included in the Music Week, which will present excellent works by composers of Shanghai Conservatory with their high quality performance. With the purpose of gearing the lectures for Master Classes to international standards, Eric Gaudibert, the famous Swiss composer and educator, is to introduce his own music and make on-the-spot comments on music works by Shanghai Conservatory students. The art sound of installation is a burgeoning form of sound art in the world. Introducing such a form of art to our music week will help draw our audience closer to contemporary music, immerse our environment into an artistic ambience and infuse contemporary music with human culture. Robin Minard, the Canadian composer who teaches in Germany, is to decorate our campus with modern acoustics while bringing us his electro music. Electro music has become one of indiscerptible parts in modern music. Three foreign composers of electro music, invited by the Electric Music Department of Shanghai Conservatory, will add more splendidness and magnificence to our music week with their lectures and electric music concert.
