JEFFREY MILARSKY is the leading conductor of contemporary music in New York City. In the United States and abroad, he has premiered and recorded works of many contemporary composers, including Charles Wuorinen, Milton Babbitt, Elliott Carter, Lasse Thoresen, Gerard Grisey, Jonathan Dawe, Tristan Murail, Ralph Shapey, Luigi Nono, Mario Davidovsky, and Wolfgang Rihm. His wide-ranging repertoire, which spans Bach to Xenakis, has enabled him to lead such accomplished groups as the American Composers Orchestra (which has just named him assistant conductor), the New York New Music Ensemble, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Columbia Sinfonietta, Speculum Musicae, Cygnus Ensemble, the Fromm Players at Harvard University, the Composers’ Ensemble at Princeton University, and the New York Philharmonic chamber music series. Most recently, he has joined the faculty of Manhattan School of Music as artistic director and conductor of the Percussion Ensemble.

A much-in-demand percussionist who has performed and recorded with the New York Philharmonic among many ensembles, Mr. Milarsky is professor of music at Columbia University, where he is the music director/conductor of the Columbia University Orchestra.

Mr. Milarsky made his European debut conducting the BIT20 Ensemble in a tour of Norway and the Baltic states. Other recent highlights include conducting the Cygnus Ensemble in the world premiere of Milton Babbitt’s Swansong, conducting the world premiere and recording Mario Davidovsky’s Flashbacks, and several area premieres of the music of Gerard Grisey: Les Espaces acoustiques (New York premiere) for Columbia University’s “Music for a New Century” series and Quatre chants pour franchir le seuil (American premiere) with Speculum Musicae. And with the Ensemble Sospeso, he has conducted three United States premieres by Wolfgang Rihm and two by Tristan Murail.

Mr. Milarsky received his bachelor and master of music degrees from The Juilliard School. Upon graduation, he was awarded the Peter Mennin Prize for outstanding leadership and achievement in the arts. He regularly conducts the Juilliard Orchestra, with whom he has premiered over 70 works of Juilliard student composers over the past fifteen years. He is also on the Pre-College Percussion Faculty at Juilliard, and has been, until recently, director of the Composition Forum. He has recorded extensively for Angel, Bridge, Teldec, Telarc, New World, CRI, MusicMasters, EMI, Koch, and London records.

The newest addition to Juilliard’s roster of performing ensembles is AXIOM, which was formed by student initiative in 2005. This new chamber ensemble, lead by Music Director Jeffrey Milarsky, is dedicated to performing the masterworks of the twentieth century repertoire. AXIOM is comprised of a flexible roster of current Juilliard students and recent graduates who fulfill organizational and administrative needs in addition to performing with the ensemble. AXIOM presented its debut performance in Avery Fisher Hall with Maestro James Conlon conducting the music of Schoenberg and Debussy. The ensemble’s performance at Juilliard in December, 2006, which was featured in the New York Times and New Yorker magazine, included compositions by Boulez, Xenakis, Rzewski, Stockhausen, and Milhaud, and was conducted by Jeffrey Milarsky. For the past two seasons, AXIOM has been the featured instrumental ensemble for the Alice Tully Vocal Arts Debut Recital, performing Luciano Berio’s Folk Songs with Soprano Sarah Wolfson in 2005 and the world premiere of Josef Bardanashvili’s Three Scenes with Soprano Raquela Sheeran in 2006. In addition, the AXIOM Ensemble was selected to collaborate with the world-renowned Juilliard Dance Division for their Spring Dances @ Juilliard performances in March, 2007, and will be performing Bohuslav Martinu’s Field Mass as well as David Lang’s Increase and This Was Written By Hand.

AXIOM will be performing along side the Juilliard Electric ensemble on April 11, 12, and 13, 2007 as part of the Juilliard Music Technology Center’s annual “Beyond the Machine” concert series in Lincoln Center’s Clark Studio Theater. As part of these presentations of electronic and interactive music, AXIOM will perform Edward Bilous’ Lucid Dreams, which was composed for and premiered by the American Composers Orchestra in Zankel Hall, and the world premiere of John King’s Trilogic Unity.

Something New:
By Tiffany Martini

The JUILLIARD SCHOOL has unveiled AXIOM, a new student-run chamber ensemble that will only focus on playing 20th-century works. At the ensemble’s debut in April at Juilliard’s Lincoln Center campus, the program featured Toru Takemitsu’s Tree Line; Sir Harrison Birtwistle’s Tragoedia; Anton Webern’s Konzert, Opus 24; and Steve Reich’s City Life.

“To not experience these pieces is a crime, especially for young students about to graduate,” says Juilliard alum JEFFREY MILARSKY, the ensemble’s music director. He adds that the group will focus on “playing classics of the 20th century—not new works or commissioned works, but recent works.”

Playing contemporary works for public performance continues to be an expensive endeavor, leaving the works primarily in the domain of larger, state-funded ensembles in Europe, where arts funding is more plentiful than in the United States. Besides experiencing an expanded chamber-ensemble repertoire, Axiom’s members can also expect to be challenged on technique. “Playing this style of music is so important to string playing styles,” Milarsky says. “It will stretch the boundaries of string playing [that] this music will absolutely call for. You can’t play Birstwistle the way you play Tchaikovsky.”

Kirshnit, Fred. Fun With Varese, New York Sun, February 17, 2006

Classical Music/Opera Listings. New York Times, December 15, 2006:

AXIOM (Thursday) New and recent music at Juilliard is no longer a one-party system: last year, the New Juilliard Ensemble was joined by Axiom, a student-run ensemble devoted to 20th-century repertory. This week the group offers an orthodox, appealing concert of several titans: Xenakis, Stockhausen and Boulez, along with Milhaud’s jazz ballet “La Création du Monde” and Frederic Rzewski’s “Moutons de Panurge,” which starts with the whole ensemble playing a single tune and degenerates like a game of “Operator.” Jeffrey Milarsky conducts. At 8 p.m., Studio 309, Juilliard School, 60 Lincoln Center Plaza, (212) 769-7406, juilliard.edu; free. (Anne Midgette)
