Beiser performing live
Discovered and mentored by the late Isaac Stern beginning when she was 12,
Beiser studied in Tel Aviv, appeared in an Israeli army string quartet, attended Yale
then stayed on in the United States, her base for international appearances and
recordings.
“I have been lucky that I always managed to earn a living from doing what I love
to do,” says the cellist, whose album Uncovered (with songs made famous by stars
like Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain) amplifies her interest in rock.
“Rock ’n’ roll was my little secret as an adolescent, and I had to find the right way
to do it. Each piece in this album means a lot to me. I wanted to treat these tunes
with the same seriousness I would treat a Bach, Mozart or Brahms.”
Fairouz considers himself a political composer and has developed a long list of
performed and recorded works that span opera, symphonies, vocal and choral set-
tings, and chamber and solo pieces. He has collaborated with political journalist
David Ignatius as librettist to develop an opera [The New Prince] about Machiavelli;
it will be premiered in 2017.
The composer’s association with Jewish creative talent includes his fourth sym-
phony, In the Shadow of No Towers, for wind ensemble; it was inspired by Pulitzer
Prize-winning graphic novelist Art Spiegelman’s book of the same title. The piece,
about American life in the aftermath of 9/11, premiered at Carnegie Hall and is
available on a Naxos recording.
“I just signed a commission for the United Arab Emirates as the city of Dubai
gets ready to host Expo 2020,” Fairouz says, pointing out that the UAE has opened
its first Israeli diplomatic mission.
A pianist from a very early age, Fairouz recalls that his mother, who is from
Bethlehem, first noted his composing inclination. At 7, he read a story and
expressed character through vocalization of melody. As he progressed, Fairouz
studied at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia and the New England
Conservatory of Music in Boston.
“I’m very happy as a composer,” says Fairouz, who expresses no interest in per-
forming, writes a regular column for the website OnBeing.org, likes to learn lan-
guages and defines himself as “singlish.”
Both composer and cellist consider music a way of uniting people of different
backgrounds. While Fairouz considers listening to music with others a way of cre-
ating communion and community, Beiser believes it is incumbent upon her to do
whatever she can to bring people together through music.
“The more people do that, the better it is,” she says. “I hope to see people from
the Arab community and the Jewish community come to the concerts, and I hope
that would help start dialogue.”
