Rihm wins Grawemeyer music prize

Rihm wins Grawemeyer music prize

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "IN-SCHRIFT 2," an orchestral work that explores the boundaries of musical space, has earned German composer Wolfgang Rihm the 2015 University of Louisville Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20141119/159648

The 15-minute piece incorporates spatial effects and other inventive techniques to evoke a wide range of sound and emotion, said award director Marc Satterwhite.

The Berlin Philharmonic commissioned the work last year to celebrate the 50(th) anniversary of the opening of Philharmonie, the city's iconic concert hall. At the October 2013 premiere, Rihm stationed clarinetists and percussionists at different spots around the auditorium to give the audience a sense of hearing music both near and far away.

"The work evokes dark colors and uses mostly low instruments - no flutes, violins or violas, for example," Satterwhite said. "It begins and ends in quiet and mystery, taking many interesting paths along the way."

Rihm, 62, a professor at Germany's Karlsruhe University of Music, has been a composer-in-residence at music festivals in Lucerne and Salzburg. He has written more than 400 pieces in every classical musical genre, making him one of the most prolific composers of his generation.

Besides the Berlin Philharmonic and BBC Symphony Orchestra, a wide variety of other orchestras have performed his works, including the Vienna Philharmonic, SWR Symphony Orchestra, Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Essen Philharmonic, Concertgebouw Orkest Amsterdam, New York Philharmonic and Cleveland Orchestra.

Universal Edition publishes his music.

In 2013, Rihm was promoted to the rank of commandeur in the Ordre des Arts and des Lettres, a French society honoring the world's most outstanding artists and writers. He also holds Germany's Distinguished Service Cross and Grand Cross of the Order of Merit with Star, the Royal Academy of Music Bach Prize, Prix de Composition and Musical de la Fondation Prince Pierre de Monaco, Ernst von Siemens Music Award and Robert Schumann Prize for Poetry and Music.

Five Grawemeyer Award winners are being named this week. The university presents the prizes annually for outstanding works in music composition, ideas improving world order, psychology and education and gives a religion prize jointly with Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary.

This year's awards are $100,000 each.

The Canadian Pacific (CP) Holiday Train program is aiming to generate healthier donations this year as it makes stops in 150 communities.

The online #HealthyDonations Challenge encourages patrons attending Holiday Train events to take a second glance when pulling food out of their cupboards to ensure their non-perishable donations are nutritious and heart-healthy.

After an overwhelming response to their previous promotion where Adda52 tied up with
the sports biopic 'Mary Kom' played by Priyanka Chopra and where five players met the
Bollywood queen in Mumbai, the poker site has now raised the Bollywood quotient with two
mega stars in the offering. Players who make their way through rounds of skilled gaming
will be able to meet not one but two Bollywood stars in a special 'Meet and Greet' with

know poker has a connection with Bollywood. Our players look up to Bollywood stars for
entertainment and idolise them. Thus, we decided to take it upon us to reward our patrons
by giving them the opportunity to meet Bollywood stars. Earlier, we successfully tied up
with the movie 'Mary Kom' and had five ecstatic players meet Priyanka Chopra. This time we
have upped the ante and will be sending five players to meet both Ajay Devgn and Sonakshi
through an exclusive tie-up with the action packed Prabhu Deva directed movie 'Action
Jackson'.

Inaugural Singapore Media Festival to Bring Together Global Industry Players in a Celebration of Asian TV and Film Industry

Inaugural Singapore Media Festival to Bring Together Global Industry Players in a Celebration of Asian TV and Film Industry

SINGAPORE, Nov. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Singapore Media Festival (SMF) brings together four complementary film and TV events comprising markets, conferences, awards and festival screenings. Ahead of the inaugural event, the Media Development Authority ofSingapore (MDA), event partners and chairman of the SMF Advisory Board, shared their vision and goals for the festival taking place from 4 to14 December 2014.

SMF shines spotlight on Southeast Asia's growing media industry

The combined strengths of the four marquee events under the umbrella of SMF is set to attract the best and brightest film and TV talent fromSoutheast Asia and beyond to forge partnerships, exchange ideas, trade content and celebrate creativity and talent. More than 5,000 industry professionals including filmmakers, producers and celebrities from over 60 countries are expected to attend the Asia TV Forum & Market (ATF), ScreenSingapore and the Asia TV Awards, while an audience of more than 10,000 are expected to participate in theSingapore International Film Festival (SGIFF).

"The Southeast Asian media industry has experienced rapid growth and development over the past few years[1], becoming a source and strong contender of creative and innovative content. Many media industry professionals now recognise the huge potential of Southeast Asia[2], and are looking to tap into this burgeoning market," said MrRobert Gilby, chairman of the SMF advisory board and Managing Director of The Walt Disney Company (SEA).

"SMF aims to ride on this potential to strengthen Singapore's position as the gateway to the region, and fill the need for a regional media event that will bring togetherSingapore and Southeast Asian content and talent to be enjoyed by viewers from all over the world," he added.

As a prominent platform to showcase Southeast Asian films, SGIFF has launched the careers of many reputable Southeast Asian filmmakers such asSingapore's Eric Khoo, Kelvin Tong and Indonesia's Riri Riza. ATF and ScreenSingapore also have a strong draw in the region, with 52% of buyers coming fromSoutheast Asia, while The Asian Television Awards receives more than 1,300 submissions fromAsia, of which Southeast Asian entries make up 64%.

SMF to facilitate international interest in Asia as a valued partner in content creation

Singapore is home to over 6,000 media businesses, including international film production and service companies such as Double Negative Visual Effects and Lucasfilm which have set up studios locally. Leading media brands such as HBO Asia have also worked withSingapore partners to co-produce TV series Serangoon Road and Grace, while Hollywood blockbusters, Agent 47 and Equals, were shot and produced in part inSingapore this year, in collaboration with companies and talent based here.

"International players are increasingly looking to Asia for innovative stories and original content, and SMF aims to create more opportunities for international and Asian media players to meet and explore opportunities for collaboration.Singapore is a focal point for business and talent in Southeast Asia. This makes it a great home for both international and home-grown media companies. SMF leverages on the city's connectivity and thriving media sector to serve as a platform for media professionals fromAsia and beyond to meet and build meaningful partnerships," said MsAngeline Poh, Assistant Chief Executive (Industry) of the Media Development Authority.

SMF to harness cross-over synergies between TV and Film

The growing synergies between TV and Film, as evident by the frequent cross-over of talent and content between the silver screen and small screen, serves as another compelling reason for the need of an event like SMF.

Last year, when ATF and ScreenSingapore were co-located for the second year running, it out-performed the previous two editions of ScreenSingapore with more than 4,300 film and TV trade participants from 60 countries, and achieved business deals worthUS$220.33 million. This was a 10% increase in attendance from 2012 with a corresponding increase of 8.2% in content sales. The growth also further bolsters the event's role as one ofAsia's key platforms for international and regional media companies to come together to network and trade.

With the media industry operating in an increasingly converged environment, SMF provides a seamless platform that allows more opportunities for cross-over collaborations by bringing together players from the film and TV industries.

Annex A

Quotes from SMF partners

Michelle Lim, Managing Director of Reed Exhibitions Singapore said, "We are excited to be part of the inaugural Singapore Media Festival and envision that it will strengthen the events' abilities to further attract market leaders and prominent brands from around the world toSingapore. The co-location of TV and film events also presents more opportunities for collaboration and growth to meet the changing demands and habits of consumers, fuelled by the rapid development of technology. The line between film and TV will continue to become more porous as the emphasis shifts to quality content that can be packaged for the big screen, small screen and even smaller screens, that is, computers and mobile devices. Having a combined film and television event leverages this exciting trend, and feedback from the industry has been tremendously positive. As a testament to our combined film and TV markets platform, last year's ATF and ScreenSingapore saw over 4,000 attendees from 52 countries, and we anticipate an even stronger turn out this year."

Mike Wiluan, Chairman of Singapore International Film Festival said, "The Singapore International Film Festival (SGIFF) celebrates its 25th anniversary this year and our focus has always been on discovering and promoting films and filmmaking talent fromSoutheast Asia. There are a lot of synergies for a film festival like ours to be part of a broader film and TV event -- talents get discovered, exchanges and discussions take place and at a more macro level, the industry gets to experience growth through cross-market regional collaboration."

Raymond Wong, CEO of Contineo Media Pte Ltd and Chairman of the Asian Television Awards (ATA), is pleased that the ATA will be part of the Singapore Media Festival, "Every December,Singapore becomes a hotbed for the distribution of content and the exchange of ideas; and with both ScreenSingapore and SGIFF exhibiting quality films; it leaves ATA the distinct honour of celebrating the best of television inAsia. The ATA is a celebrated industry event that recognises excellence in programming, production and performance, and received close to 1400 entries from across 14 countries this year. The Awards ceremony this December will be broadcasted to more than 30 million homes acrossAsia Pacific through FOX Star World, MediaCorp Channel 5 and Bangkok Broadcasting Channel 7."

Ms. Neeta Lachmandas, Assistant Chief Executive, Business Development Group, Singapore Tourism Board said, "The Singapore Media Festival is set to become a leading business platform for the international film and television industry. With a programme that promotes greater business opportunities and mindshare, and an integration of business and consumer-facing events, attendees will find the festival a comprehensive and compelling experience. We are confident that the first run of the Singapore Media Festival will be a hit and that it will help establishSingapore as a premier media hub in the region."

Double-Digit Increases to Retransmission, Content Costs Bad for Consumers

Double-Digit Increases to Retransmission, Content Costs Bad for Consumers

NEW YORK, Nov. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cox Media Group has pulled from FiOS TV the Fox channel that they own in the Massachusetts market. Verizon is diligently negotiating with Cox for a retransmission deal that will be fair and reasonable for our customers.

It probably seems like two big companies slugging it out while customers are pushed aside, even punished. But believe me, we're taking a stand for our customers. You don't have to take my word for it.

This behavior by Cox is apparently standard operating procedure. The American Television Alliance issued a release about this situation on Nov. 26. In it, ATVA spokesman Brian Frederick is quoted saying:

"In the past two years, Cox has blacked out viewers in at least 11 different markets. Cox is clearly more interested in their own profits than letting TV viewers in New England enjoy some TV time on the couch with friends and family."

While this is a pattern of behavior from Cox, overall it's about a much bigger issue that, unfortunately, puts consumers on the front lines.

Please call Cox Media at (781) 467-2525 to voice your concerns.

Content Costs Are Rising Out of Control: Consumers Pay the Price

The average bill for basic cable in the United States rose 6.5 percent in 2012, and the average bill for expanded basic cable increased 5.1 percent, according to a May International Business Times story citing a new study from the Federal Communications Commission. Rising programming costs account for a large part of those increases. The per-channel cost for cable customers rose 2.1 percent in 2012, or 48 cents per channel, and retransmission fees charged by the major broadcasters are expected to rise an additional 10 to 12 percent per year over the next three years.

The ever-increasing cost of retransmission deals and content is making the pay-TV market more and more difficult for everyone. Eventually, even the content we love becomes unaffordable.

So, how did we get here?

The current content provider/pay-TV business model is based upon a revenue-sharing agreement known as affiliate fees and/or retransmission revenue. Basically, a portion of the TV bill customers pay finds its way back to these content providers on a per-channel basis, and the rates vary based on the network and program involved and the fees required by the content provider.

That business model is flawed, Verizon's CEO Lowell McAdam said at a recent Goldman Sachs investor's conference.

And here's why:


-- The share of retransmission fees as a portion of total revenue paid to
content providers - those fees a carrier like Verizon pays to the owner
of a local network affiliated channel - is expected to rise to a 10.5%
share in 2014; 11.4% in 2015; 12.1% in 2016; and 12.5% in 2017,
according to an April 17 Media Post story based on an SNL Kagan study.
-- At a late April cable industry conference in Los Angeles, Jim O'Neill
(@JimONeillMedia) reported that Time Warner Cable Chairman and CEO Rob
Marcus said content costs "are problematic to the sustainability of our
ecosystem." Reinforcing McAdam's point from the Goldman Sachs
conference, Marcus added that the industry needs to "figure out a
different business model."
-- Like the rest of the industry, Time Warner Cable has been facing
significant cost pressure, as the cost of programming content has
rapidly increased. Since the beginning of 2010, the company has had to
contend with a 24-percent rise in content costs per subscriber. Comcast
has also seen a 20-percent rise in just two years.
At Verizon, we face similar pressures. That brings us to where we are today with Cox Media Group and its outrageous retransmission demands.

It's unfortunate that Cox has decided to deny our FiOS customers its FOX programming because we won't cave in to those unreasonable demands. Cox has a history of digging in its heels when it was in our position and had been asked to commit to a similar deal. Consider this from a release they issued in Dec., 2012 regarding their negotiations with Raycom:


-- Raycom has pulled their programming from Cox's lineup for Cox customers
in Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Louisiana and Arizona. Cox's agreement with
Raycom Media expired at 11:59 p.m., December 31, 2012. Raycom is
withholding their programming because Cox won't give them a price
increase that's 250% higher than what Cox already pays them for
programming that is available for free over the air. Exorbitant
increases - like the one that Raycom is demanding - increase cable bills
every year.
No one wants to see this with Cox and FiOS.

We sincerely hope that cooler, more reasonable heads at Cox will prevail, and that we can soon have the Cox-owned FOX stations back on FiOS in the Massachusetts and Providence market, at a cost to us that won't ultimately negatively affect our customers' home budgets.

"Dandaree" Launched In Bagan To Boost Myanmar Tourism

"Dandaree" Launched In Bagan To Boost Myanmar Tourism




BAGAN, Myanmar, Nov. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- "Dandaree" ("legendary story" in Burmese), the stunning live performance has been launched in Bagan, the ancient land of Myanmar. "Dandaree" tells the story of Myanmar -- from its humble beginnings to the present day, through the glorious Bagan era. Traditions, art and culture passed down from generation to generation for over a thousand years are revealed. "Dandaree" offers the perfect recounting of an amazing story through the performances of more than a hundred artists at Bagan Golden Palace. One of the three most beautiful palaces and a must-see for foreign tourists visiting the kingdom of Bagan. Bagan Golden Palace is located at the heart of the city of Bagan in Myanmar.

"Dandaree", a visual masterpiece, features striking presentation styles, unmatched light and sound production, and multimedia techniques synchronized with stage performances by more than a hundred talented dancers, actors and performers who come together to tell the story of Myanmar's proud history. Each scene reflects the unique elegance of Myanmar and its people through music, language, folk wisdom and Myanmar dance, puppeteers, martial artists, Chinlone shows, and more. "Dandaree" offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to witness the heritage of Myanmar in all its glory -- a delightful moment for audiences of all ages.

The Myanmar tourism industry is enjoying steady growth, thanks to the upcoming ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) meeting and government policies to stimulate in-bound tourism in Myanmar. Tourism in Myanmar expanded significantly in 2013, with tourist numbers up by 93%, or around 2 million tourists, from a year earlier. The Myanmar government is aiming to boost tourist numbers to 3.1 million in 2014. Myanmar attracts tourists not only from Asia but also from European countries including France, Germany and the UK, as well as the USA. Furthermore, the number of airlines offering direct flights to Yangon from strategic cities in Singapore, Japan, China, Indonesia and Korea has risen markedly.

Bagan Archeological City and Monuments has been nominated as an UNESCO World Heritage Site. A flourishing culture arose from the city of Bagan, from which religion, language and art -- including valuable antique architecture in the "Pagoda Sea" of some 4,000 pagodas, around 2,000 of which survive -- also originated. Bagan thus offers great potential for tourism and has become a must-see destination for tourists.

Bagan Golden Palace's status as a must-see attraction for tourists visiting Bagan is further enhanced by the rich manner in which it reflects the grandeur of the Bagan Kingdom. Tourists enjoy the charms of sightseeing in Bagan during the day and then, after the sun falls, the performance of "Dandaree" further enriches the city's tourist nightlife. The contemporary culture show takes its inspiration from the traditional culture of Myanmar that goes back more than 1,000 years at Bagan Golden Palace.

"Dandaree" will be shown during the high-season for tourism in Bagan, from November to March every year. Performances will therefore start on the 1(st) of November 2014 and run until the 31(st) of March 2015, with each performance seating 464. Ticket prices start at USD50 and reservations opened in September. For more information, please visit www.dandaree.com or Facebook/Instagram at dandaree; you can also preview the show on YouTube: http://youtu.be/1cvzjwaeNSQ. The show is expected to: boost tourism in Bagan; attract huge numbers of tourists from Europe, America, Russia and Asia; and further stimulate the Myanmar economy.

Inaugural Singapore Media Festival to Bring Together Global Industry Players in a Celebration of Asian TV and Film Industry

Inaugural Singapore Media Festival to Bring Together Global Industry Players in a Celebration of Asian TV and Film Industry

"More than 15,000 expected to celebrate Asia's best content and talent at the Singapore Media Festival"

SINGAPORE, Nov. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Singapore Media Festival (SMF) brings together four complementary film and TV events comprising markets, conferences, awards and festival screenings. Ahead of the inaugural event, the Media Development Authority of Singapore (MDA), event partners and chairman of the SMF Advisory Board, shared their vision and goals for the festival taking place from 4 to 14 December 2014.

SMF shines spotlight on Southeast Asia's growing media industry

The combined strengths of the four marquee events under the umbrella of SMF is set to attract the best and brightest film and TV talent from Southeast Asia and beyond to forge partnerships, exchange ideas, trade content and celebrate creativity and talent. More than 5,000 industry professionals including filmmakers, producers and celebrities from over 60 countries are expected to attend the Asia TV Forum & Market (ATF), ScreenSingapore and the Asia TV Awards, while an audience of more than 10,000 are expected to participate in the Singapore International Film Festival (SGIFF).

"The Southeast Asian media industry has experienced rapid growth and development over the past few years[1], becoming a source and strong contender of creative and innovative content. Many media industry professionals now recognise the huge potential of Southeast Asia[2], and are looking to tap into this burgeoning market," said Mr Robert Gilby, chairman of the SMF advisory board and Managing Director of The Walt Disney Company (SEA).

"SMF aims to ride on this potential to strengthen Singapore's position as the gateway to the region, and fill the need for a regional media event that will bring together Singapore and Southeast Asian content and talent to be enjoyed by viewers from all over the world," he added.

As a prominent platform to showcase Southeast Asian films, SGIFF has launched the careers of many reputable Southeast Asian filmmakers such as Singapore's Eric Khoo, Kelvin Tong and Indonesia's Riri Riza. ATF and ScreenSingapore also have a strong draw in the region, with 52% of buyers coming from Southeast Asia, while The Asian Television Awards receives more than 1,300 submissions from Asia, of which Southeast Asian entries make up 64%.

SMF to facilitate international interest in Asia as a valued partner in content creation

Singapore is home to over 6,000 media businesses, including international film production and service companies such as Double Negative Visual Effects and Lucasfilm which have set up studios locally. Leading media brands such as HBO Asia have also worked with Singapore partners to co-produce TV series Serangoon Road and Grace, while Hollywood blockbusters, Agent 47 and Equals, were shot and produced in part in Singapore this year, in collaboration with companies and talent based here.

"International players are increasingly looking to Asia for innovative stories and original content, and SMF aims to create more opportunities for international and Asian media players to meet and explore opportunities for collaboration. Singapore is a focal point for business and talent in Southeast Asia. This makes it a great home for both international and home-grown media companies. SMF leverages on the city's connectivity and thriving media sector to serve as a platform for media professionals from Asia and beyond to meet and build meaningful partnerships," said Ms Angeline Poh, Assistant Chief Executive (Industry) of the Media Development Authority.

SMF to harness cross-over synergies between TV and Film

The growing synergies between TV and Film, as evident by the frequent cross-over of talent and content between the silver screen and small screen, serves as another compelling reason for the need of an event like SMF.

Last year, when ATF and ScreenSingapore were co-located for the second year running, it out-performed the previous two editions of ScreenSingapore with more than 4,300 film and TV trade participants from 60 countries, and achieved business deals worth US$220.33 million. This was a 10% increase in attendance from 2012 with a corresponding increase of 8.2% in content sales. The growth also further bolsters the event's role as one of Asia's key platforms for international and regional media companies to come together to network and trade.

With the media industry operating in an increasingly converged environment, SMF provides a seamless platform that allows more opportunities for cross-over collaborations by bringing together players from the film and TV industries.

Quotes from SMF partners



Michelle Lim, Managing Director of Reed Exhibitions Singapore said, "We are excited to be part of the inaugural Singapore Media Festival and envision that it will strengthen the events' abilities to further attract market leaders and prominent brands from around the world to Singapore. The co-location of TV and film events also presents more opportunities for collaboration and growth to meet the changing demands and habits of consumers, fuelled by the rapid development of technology. The line between film and TV will continue to become more porous as the emphasis shifts to quality content that can be packaged for the big screen, small screen and even smaller screens, that is, computers and mobile devices. Having a combined film and television event leverages this exciting trend, and feedback from the industry has been tremendously positive. As a testament to our combined film and TV markets platform, last year's ATF and ScreenSingapore saw over 4,000 attendees from 52 countries, and we anticipate an even stronger turn out this year."

Mike Wiluan, Chairman of Singapore International Film Festival said, "The Singapore International Film Festival (SGIFF) celebrates its 25th anniversary this year and our focus has always been on discovering and promoting films and filmmaking talent from Southeast Asia. There are a lot of synergies for a film festival like ours to be part of a broader film and TV event -- talents get discovered, exchanges and discussions take place and at a more macro level, the industry gets to experience growth through cross-market regional collaboration."

Raymond Wong, CEO of Contineo Media Pte Ltd and Chairman of the Asian Television Awards (ATA), is pleased that the ATA will be part of the Singapore Media Festival, "Every December, Singapore becomes a hotbed for the distribution of content and the exchange of ideas; and with both ScreenSingapore and SGIFF exhibiting quality films; it leaves ATA the distinct honour of celebrating the best of television in Asia. The ATA is a celebrated industry event that recognises excellence in programming, production and performance, and received close to 1400 entries from across 14 countries this year. The Awards ceremony this December will be broadcasted to more than 30 million homes across Asia Pacific through FOX Star World, MediaCorp Channel 5 and Bangkok Broadcasting Channel 7."

Ms. Neeta Lachmandas, Assistant Chief Executive, Business Development Group, Singapore Tourism Board said, "The Singapore Media Festival is set to become a leading business platform for the international film and television industry. With a programme that promotes greater business opportunities and mindshare, and an integration of business and consumer-facing events, attendees will find the festival a comprehensive and compelling experience. We are confident that the first run of the Singapore Media Festival will be a hit and that it will help establish Singapore as a premier media hub in the region."
