EXCLUSIVE: 2015 MATA Festival Interview Spotlight - Ann Cleare on 'Eöl,' Talea Ensemble and J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth
Founded by Philip Glass, Lisa Bielawa and Eleonor Sandresky in 1996, the MATA Young Composers Now! Festival strives to present emerging compositional talent sourced from across the globe. The 2015 edition at The Kitchen continues in that very tradition, featuring quite the varied array of exemplary young voices. So, with a nod to the spirit of MATA, itself, Classicalite has chosen three composers to speak with about that career-defining opportunity: a MATA commission. Our final entry is Ireland's own Ann Cleare, whose MATA-commissioned piece Eöl closed out the festival Saturday night, as part of the "Incomparable Contrivances" program performed by the Talea Ensemble. Cleare's percussion-heavy mini-concerto expertly explored the resonant qualities of handmade sculpture and proved to be one of this year's highlights. 'Gangster Squad' Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone Replace Miles Teller, Emma Watson in 'Whiplash' Damien Chazelle's Musical, 'La La Land' [TRAILER]
While it was previously thought that Damien Chazelle's 'La La Land' would star young actors Miles Teller and Emma Watson, Deadline is reporting that those two have been replaced by the steamy team of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. Director Chazelle was thought to be bringing back actor Teller, who chronicled the trials of a talented drummer against the backdrop of the jazz world in Chazelle's Oscar-nominated pic, 'Whiplash.' But now, it's being reported that the 'Crazy, Stupid, Love' costars Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone will once again be reunited for Chazelle's musical. No deal has been finalized for either Gosling or Stone, but reportedly, all sides are working to make this happen. The plan is to go to cameras before the fall with two other of the industry's top actors. According to Indiewire, ;La La Land; is being sold as a cross between 'The Graduate' and 'Boogie Nights' (with music, obviously).
