*alcides lanza *
Compositeur, chef d'orchestre, pianiste, professeur, né à Rosario en
Argentine le 2 juin 1929, naturalisé canadien en 1976. Pianiste et
répétiteur au Teatro Colón (1959-65), il fut aussi boursier de
l'Instituto Torcuato di Tella de Buenos Aires (1963-64) où il poursuivit
des études avancées de composition et de musique électronique. Une
bourse Guggenheim lui facilita un séjour aux États-Unis de 1965 à 1971.
Au centre de musique électronique des universités Columbia et Princeton,
il travailla avec Vladimir Ussachevsky en plus d'enseigner et de
composer. En Amérique latine aussi bien qu'aux États-Unis et au Canada,
alcides lanza s'est appliqué à faire connaître davantage la musique
contemporaine et d'avant-garde, à la fois comme pianiste et chef
d'orchestre. À cet effet, il fonda le Composers / Performers Group dont
les présentations multimédias dans plusieurs villes, telles New York et
Montréal, ont soulevé de vives controverses. Il s'établit à Montréal en
1971 pour enseigner la composition à l'Université McGill et dirigea le
studio de musique électronique (EMS) de 1974 à 2004 avant d'en devenir
Directeur Emeritus. Les nombreuses oeuvres d'alcides lanza font appel
aux instruments traditionnels, aux sons et extensions électroniques
ainsi qu'aux lumières. En 1975, il participa à l'organisation de la
Semaine des musiques nouvelles à Montréal au cours de laquelle fut
présentée son oeuvre penetrations VII, avec le concours de sa femme, la
comédienne et chanteuse Meg Sheppard.

*alcides lanza *
Composer, conductor, pianist, teacher, b Rosario, Argentina, 2 Jun 1929,
naturalized Canadian 1976. In Buenos Aires he studied piano with Ruwin
Erlich, conducting with Roberto Kinsky, and composition with Julián
Bautista and Alberto Ginastera. He was a pianist and coach-accompanist
1959-65 at the Teatro Colón and received a scholarship 1963-4 from the
Instituto Torcuato di Tella of Buenos Aires, where he took advanced
studies in composition, including electronic music. A Guggenheim
fellowship assisted his stay 1965-71 in the USA, and he worked with
Vladimir Ussachevsky at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center,
in addition to teaching and composing. During this period he received
grants from the Ford Foundation in 1966 and the Pan American Union
1967-9. He studied composition mainly with Olivier Messiaen, Riccardo
Malipiero, Aaron Copland, and Bruno Maderna, as well as piano with
Yvonne Loriod.
In Latin America, the USA, and Canada, Lanza has striven, both as
pianist and conductor, to promote contemporary and avant-garde music. To
this end he founded the Composers/Performers Group, whose multimedia
presentations in several cities, including New York and Montreal, have
aroused a great deal of controversy. While continuing to be active on
the international scene, he settled in Montreal in 1971 to teach
composition at McGill University and in 1974 became director of its
electronic music studio. In 1972 he conducted the SMCQ Ensemble and
presented works by Argentinian composers and his own composition Eidesis II.
In 1975, on commission for the SMCQ, Lanza wrote Plectros IV which was
premiered the same year by Bruce Mather and Pierrette LePage, to whom
the work was dedicated. Lanza's numerous works make use of traditional
instruments, of electronic sounds and extensions, and of lights. Many
are listed in the US catalogue of Boosey & Hawkes, which also handles
rental of material, tapes, and scores. Lanza owns Shelan Editions which
publishes and reproduces his works in the form of scores and cassettes.
Lanza was president of the Agrupacion Música Viva of Buenos Aires and
associate director of the Composers' Group for International
Performance. He was composer-in-residence 1972-3 at the Deutscher
Akademischer Austauschdienst of Berlin and toured Scandinavia and
Germany at that time. In 1975 he helped organize the Week of New Music
in Montreal, at which his work Penetrations VII was presented with the
participation of his wife, the actress and singer Meg Sheppard. In 1986
he and Sheppard toured Argentina and Brazil, performing more than 50
pieces of Canadian music. The next year he gave a five-hour recital
comprised of works by 27 composers from different countries, including a
few of his own pieces. Lanza has recorded piano works by Henry Cowell
(Little Concerto, McGill University Records 79008, released in 1980) and
Serge Perron (Fusion, McGill University Records 80011, released in
1981). He is a member of the CLComp and an associate of the Canadian
Music Centre.
