Katharina Rosenberger: parcours III

One of my favorite sounds as a child was the sound of the wind, when lying in the grass with closed eyes.
What else seems as free as the wind? As powerful, as gentle? As transient, as eternal?
I was once in a group composition workshop with Bunita Marcus and Pauline Oliveros, and mentioned the sound of the wind. Bunita asked Pauline if she wanted to embody the wind sounds. “Oh, yes,” said Pauline, “I am the wind!”
I suppose Wind People has something to do with drawing a sense of peace and comfort from our smallness, transience, and fragility in the face of an overwhelming immensity.

He has received numerous awards, among them a fellowship from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD); residencies at the Cité Internationale des Arts (Paris), the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center (Nebraska), MacDowell (N.H.), and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts; and commissions from the Fromm Foundation, the Ralph Kaminsky Fund, as well as the Bavarian State Opera.
	As a conductor, Mr. Bettendorf has worked closely with ensembles in New York (Wet Ink, counter)induction, Ghost and Talea ensembles) and abroad (piano possibile in Munich, Ostravská banda in the Czech Republic) and was director of the Manhattanville College and Bates College orchestras.  He recently conducted opera productions at Bard College and the Opéra national de Montpellier (France) and has served as assistant conductor of the Columbia University and American Composers orchestras.
