 With tonight's concert, NEC and the Gunther Schuller Society celebrate his 99th birthday.


"Gunther Schuller used the score to preserve, create and recreate from the unwritten as well as the written. The composers, artists, authors, and poets represented here tonight -- layers and generations of history and creativity -- stood for those same principles which Gunther embodied and embraced. That is the Schuller Legacy: exploration, curiosity, preservation of the continuum and moving forward; honoring the past while both imagining and forging our future. 

 

I remember Gunther telling me, that on evenings (late) after playing horn with the Metropolitan Opera, beginning early in his career, he would nightly go to Harlem with a few friends from the Met (Opera Orch) and hear the wonderful musicians and bands which became such an integral part of his complete musical life. Tonight’s concert, in a small way, beginning with his own early songs (which were sung by his beloved wife Margie who celebrates her 100th birthday), classical performances, a world premiere, transcriptions and arrangements of works Gunther heard and wrote, and ending with the endlessly creative force of the Jerry Bergonzi Quartet, are all a metaphor for Every Day in the Forever Musical Life of Gunther Schuller."
