Expertise Profile
Eric
Lindholm has conducted both in the United States and
abroad, for orchestra and opera, in all kinds of
repertoire. His orchestra appearances include the
Bulgarian National Radio Symphony and other orchestras in
that country; the Bohuslav Martinu Philharmonic in Zlín,
Czech Republic; the Filharmonia Sudecka of Walbrzych,
Poland; the State Symphony Orchestra of São Paulo, Brazil;
and the Savannah (Georgia), Springfield (Massachusetts),
and Norwalk (Connecticut) Symphonies. From the pit, he has
led works by Mozart, Ravel, Argento, and others, as well
as lighter works by Arthur Sullivan and Kurt Weill.
He is particularly proud of the music that he has explored
with the Pomona College Orchestra. The Orchestra’s talent,
hard work, and open-mindedness have enabled it to perform
works that orchestras at similar institutions would find
prohibitively difficult. Repertoire highlights during
Prof. Lindholm’s time at Pomona include Mahler’s Symphony
#1, Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra, Joan Tower’s Clarinet
Concerto, Nielsen’s Symphony #4 (“The Inextinguishable”),
and Anton Webern’s Six Pieces, opus 6. He has also
tremendously enjoyed the opportunity to collaborate with
both faculty and student soloists.
In the classroom, Prof. Lindholm has offered several
courses, including Music 51 (Western Music from the Time
of Beethoven to the Present), Music 53 (The Symphony and
Related Forms), Music 75 (Opera), and Music 113
(Orchestration and Instrumentation). He often leads the
ear-training "laboratories" for the theory sequence, and
he also teaches conducting when his schedule permits.
Prof. Lindholm is a former child prodigy in mathematics,
taking college calculus at age 10 and completing a year of
college physics by age 13. He switched to a music major
while in the middle of an undergraduate physics degree at
Princeton, going on to earn advanced degrees in conducting
from Boston University and the Yale School of Music. In
1993, he was a prize winner at the international
conducting competition in Besançon, France, and he
attended Tanglewood on a conducting fellowship in 1994.
Also proficient on the cello, he studied with Michael
Reynolds of the Muir String Quartet and still performs
occasionally, including on the Friday Noon concert series
and in student-faculty chamber ensembles. He is married to
Kira Blumberg, a violist with the Los Angeles Opera, the
Long Beach Symphony, and other groups. |
