DEBORAH BRADLEY-KRAMER
Deborah
Bradley-Kramer Ph.D, a graduate of New York University and the European Mozart
Academy, is Lecturer in Music at Columbia University and was Director of Music
Performance at Columbia from 1999-2013. She is founder and pianist of The Moebius Ensemble. Moebius, a group
dedicated to championing American music and works of emerging composers in
America and beyond, has received Copland and Koussevitzky grants and three
grants from the Rockefeller Foundation for a multi-year series of concerts and
concerts-lectures in Eastern and Central Europe.
Nominated
for a teaching award for excellence, Deborah has taught in Columbia’s Core
Curriculum since 1999 and has introduced many new courses: Russian and Soviet
Music and Musicians, Piano Repertoire, and Jewish Music to name a few. Dedicated
to education and outreach, Ms. Bradley-Kramer co-founded a free community
concert series called Overlook Concerts
in Riverside Park which routinely draws over 300 audience members to its
concerts and showcases musicians from Columbia, Juilliard, and the Manhattan
School of Music. In May she will teach a mini-course on American Music at the
Taipei National University of The Arts, and give concert-lectures on Jazz
influences in Classical Music in Bangkok.
As a
pianist, this season Ms, Bradley-Kramer will present a series of piano duo and
solo concerts titled “Flights of Fugue,” which pair fugues of Bach with those
of Shostakovich and Slonimsky. She will also present premieres of works written
for her by Boris Tishchenko, and give concert-lectures on contemporary American
and Russian piano music at the Jerusalem Rubin Academy of Music, Conservatory
of Music in Prague, American University in Sofia, Bulgaria, Chopin University
of Music in Warsaw, Hartt School of Music, New York University, University of
Chicago, The Royal Irish Conservatory, and the College Music Society in Boston.
Recently,
she formed SPEAKmusic, a collective of Columbia and Juilliard musicians and
composers who are dedicated to introducing the world of classical music - especially that of contemporary young
composers - to young listeners. SPEAKmusic has already received numerous
invitations to take part in concerts in the United States and abroad, and
recently performed at the United Nations. They will inaugurate a new concert
series at the 92Y in Fall 2015 featuring world premieres by Columbia’s
composers and others.
Ms.
Bradley-Kramer’s CD of Jonathan Kramer’s chamber music is forthcoming on
Leonarda records in Fall 2015. She also assisted in editing and contributing to
Jonathan Kramer’s last book Postmodern
Music, Postmodern Listening, which will be published by Bloomsbury Press in
August, 2015.
