The Royal Conservatory's Koerner Hall in Toronto has announced its 2014–15 concert season, the organization's sixth anniversary season, which will feature performances from several artists familiar to readers of the Nonesuch Journal: Jeremy Denk, Richard Goode, Gidon Kremer, and Natalie Merchant.

First up among the Nonesuch artists performing at Koerner Hall next season are pianists Denk and Goode, making their Royal Conservatory debuts with Sunday afternoon recitals in November: Jeremy Denk performing works by Janáček, Schubert, Mozart, and Schumann on November 9, 2014, and Richard Goode performing works by Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Debussy, and Schumann on November 16, 2014.

Heading into the New Year, violinist Gidon Kremer makes a return visit to Koerner Hall on Tuesday, January 20, 2015, joined by young Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov for a performance of works by Mozart, Schubert, and Rachmaninov.

Later in the year, Natalie Merchant makes her Koerner Hall debut with two performances in May: an evening of music from her new album, Natalie Merchant, and favorite songs from throughout her storied career on Friday, May 1, 2015, and a special Family Concert on the afternoon of Saturday, May 2, 2015, featuring songs from her Nonesuch Records debut album, Leave Your Sleep, in which she set classic children's poetry to music. The latter helps inaugurate the Royal Conservatory's new Family Concerts series.

Dr. Peter Simon, President of The Royal Conservatory of Music, says of the 2014–15 season: "With this outstanding collection of performances and special events, The Royal Conservatory of Music continues its tradition of excellence in concert presentation established with the opening of Koerner Hall in 2009."

Mervon Mehta, Executive Director of Performing Arts, adds: "Thanks to our loyal audiences we enjoy the freedom to experiment with artists and repertoire. Be brave, experiment, choose a concert outside of your comfort zone—Koerner Hall is yours to explore."

Tickets are on sale now for The Royal Conservatory's 2014–15 Koerner Hall concert season.

    Congratulations to composer and pianist Timo Andres on receiving the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center's Elise L. Stoeger Prize—a $25,000 cash prize, awarded biennially by CMS to recognize significant contributions to the field of chamber music composition. Andres says: “I feel equally challenged and freed to take risks when I write chamber music, and writing it, I’ve learned the most about becoming a better composer and musician. To be recognized in this medium by one of its greatest institutional standard-bearers is a huge and unexpected honor.”

    David Longstreth’s Song of the Earth, a song cycle for orchestra and voices, is due April 4. Performed by Longstreth with his band Dirty Projectors—Felicia Douglass, Maia Friedman, Olga Bell—and the Berlin-based chamber orchestra s t a r g a z e, conducted by André de Ridder, the album also features Phil Elverum (Mount Eerie), Steve Lacy, Patrick Shiroishi, Anastasia Coope, Tim Bernardes, Ayoni, Portraits of Tracy, and the author David Wallace-Wells. Longstreth says that while Song of the Earth—his biggest-yet foray into the field of concert music—"is not a ‘climate change opera,’” he wanted to “find something beyond sadness: beauty spiked with damage. Acknowledgement flecked with hope, irony, humor, rage.”
