New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani kicked off COPLAND 2000, a world-wide celebration of the great American composer's 100th birthday anniversary by proclaiming June 1, 1999 New York's "Aaron Copland Day". Aaron Copland was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. on November 14, 1900 to Russian Jewish immigrant parents. During his long life, he was a composer who wrote music that was distinctly American, a conductor, a teacher, a writer of popular books of music, and America's cultural ambassador - earning his place among America's greatest cultural icons. He died in 1990 in Peekskill, N.Y. The music publishing firm of Boosey and Hawkes is spearheading the celebration and is assisting participating organizations with informational materials that will enhance public presentations across America and all over the world. Among the musical events are:
Copland Festivals in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, Poland, South Africa and the U.K. Completely Copland - a three-week exploration of Aaron Copland's complete works by the New York Philharmonic begins November 27, 1999. In addition, the Philharmonic will present with the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) a festival of Copland's film scores. Celluloid Copland - a four-day celebration of Copland-scored films by the EOS Orchestra begins on March 21, 2000. The Sylvia and Danny Kaye Playhouse at Hunter College College Copland celebration from May 19-June 4, 2000 focuses on the composer's works for the stage. The New York Pops will hold a series of programs at Carnegie Hall beginning 1999 into the year 2000. Musical celebrations across America: Participants include the Minnesota Orchestra in collaboration with Ballet Arts Minnesota (beginning January 2000); Connecticut's Hartford Symphony, Bushnell Theatre, Hartt School of Music and the Wadsworth Atheneum; the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, with an opening night gala of Copland's Old American Songs featuring Marilyn Horne and a program series called Music of our Time highlighting Copland's best-loved works, culminating in a Tribute to Aaron Copland, 1900-1990; the Florida Orchestra; the Soldiers' Chorus and Concert Band of the U.S. Army Field Band's US tour throughout the year 2000 and two CD recordings on The Legacy of Aaron Copland to be distributed free to educational institutions through-out the US. The Copland 2000 symbol is a drawing by Al Hirschfield, commissioned by The Aaron Copland Fund for Music and is being made available by Boosey & Hawkes for promotional use by organizations, free of charge.
