Marion Bauer (1882-1955) <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Marion Bauer<\/a>\u00a0was a significant American modernist composer, as well as a teacher and a music critic. She was Nadia Boulanger\u2019s first American\u00a0student, and became an influential pedagogue herself, teaching composition at New York City University and the Julliard School. Bauer\u00a0was also a Pacific Northwest composer: she was born in Walla-Walla and her parents were married at Temple Beth Israel right here in Portland, Oregon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this video, the Portland Youth Philharmonic plays Bauer\u2019s tone poem Sun Splendor <\/em>in a 2016 performance at Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall. Sun Splendor<\/em> originally premiered in 1947, in a performance by the New York Philharmonic directed Leopold Stokowski. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
