FEBRUARY Alumnus of the Month - Tim Munro
A native of Brisbane, Australia, Tim Munro is the flutist of the Chicago-based, Grammy-winning sextet eighth blackbird. Since joining the ensemble in 2006, he has performed at most major venues in the United States, including New York's Carnegie Hall and Washington's Kennedy Center, as well as in Holland, Germany, England and Canada. In the 2010/11 season eighth blackbird performed as soloist with The Cleveland Orchestra, Toronto Symphony and Atlanta Symphony. Steve Reich's Double Sextet, commissioned and premiered by eighth blackbird, won the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2009, and eighth blackbird won its second Grammy Award in 2012.
Tim has taught at the Curtis Institute, Rice University, University of Michigan, University of Colorado and the Colburn School, and holds teaching positions at the Universities of Richmond (Virginia) and Chicago. He has degrees from the University of Queensland, Queensland Conservatorium of Music, Oberlin College and the Australian National Academy of Music. His teachers included Michel Debost, Margaret Crawford and Patrick Nolan. Tim is an experienced writer and speaker about music, and in a former life was Publications Coordinator of the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra.
Tim was in TAV for one, eventful year, under the artistic direction of Graeme Morton. In 1996, the ensemble toured to the USA, up and down the fabulous West Coast. TAV touched down in LA at the beginning of the tour, and on seeing the massive cars, massive highways, traffic chaos and crumbling streets, Tim remembers thinking, "Wow, America is a sheer living hell. I hope I never have to come here ever again!" Now, he has his Green Card, and finds himself constantly surprised and delighted by the fascinating strangeness of this irony.
He spent much of his time singing with TAV in nervous awe of his choir-mates, who had strong voices and even stronger personalities. It was an intimidating and inspiring blend. The music standard was very high, and Graeme always demanded more from the choir: better blend, more intensity, better intonation, NO DIPHTHONGS! “Even today,” says Tim, “I try to hold myself to the standards that Graeme demanded in my one fabulous, bizarre year in TAV.”
