a note from the chair and the president

GLOBAL SPONSOR OF THE CSO

We are pleased to welcome you back for concerts featuring the great Chicago Symphony Orchestra as well as esteemed guest artists on the Symphony Center Presents series.

We begin with two weeks of subscription concerts con-ducted by Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti. The first program includes such evocative works as Bizet’s Roma, Respighi’s Pines of Rome, and Berlioz’s The Death of Cleopatra with mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato. For Muti’s second May program, he and the Orchestra are joined by pianist Mitsuko Uchida in Mozart’s Piano Concerto no. 20. Also on the pro-gram are Mozart’s Overture to The Marriage of Figaro and Stravinsky’s Suite from The Firebird.

CSO subscription concerts continue with the anticipated return of violinist Hilary Hahn, performing Sibelius’s Violin Concerto on a program conducted by Mikko Franck that also includes Rachmaninov’s Second Symphony and A Requiem in Our Time, a work for symphonic brass by Rautavaara.

Next, conductor Giancarlo Guerrero makes his Orchestra Hall debut with compo-sitions by Ginastera, Chabrier, and Piazzolla in addition to Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez, performed by guitarist Pablo Sáinz Villegas.

The Symphony Center Presents series offers a range of programs highlight-ing the artistry of distinguished musicians across genres. May begins with Itzhak Perlman and Evgeny Kissin in violin sonatas by Mozart, Brahms, and Beethoven. Kissin returns for the SCP Piano series on May 12. The SCP Jazz series features pia-nist Jason Moran with his wife, mezzo-soprano Alicia Hall Moran, in Two Wings: The Music of Black America in Migration, an SCP commission in honor of the Jazz series’ twenty-fifth anniversary season.

In addition to CSO and SCP performances, the Negaunee Music Institute presents Pictures from an Exhibition, conducted by Thomas Wilkins, on the CSO School Concerts and Family Matinee series. On May 12, the Civic Orchestra of Chicago and conductor Ken-David Masur give the world premiere of Cerrone’s Meander, Spiral, Explode featuring Third Coast Percussion.

We thank you for your continued patronage of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association and hope to see you often at this impressive array of concerts. We also encourage you not to delay in making your plans for the 2019–20 season. By subscribing, you can guarantee your best options to participate in what will be a season to remember.

The tour began with a return appearance for Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to the Kravis

Center’s Alexander W. Dreyfoos, Jr. Concert Hall on February 26. “The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s magnif-icent concert Tuesday night in West Palm Beach showed audiences the difference between a good orchestra and a great one,” wrote David Fleshler of the South Florida Classical Review. “Under music director Riccardo Muti, the orchestra gave a concert at the Kravis Center that is sure to rank with the season’s best—a memorable evening of classics by a virtuoso orchestra before an audience that was clearly absorbed in the performance,” he contin-ued. This first concert program, which was performed a second time days later in Naples, opened with Beethoven’s Leonore Overture no. 3 and continued with his Fifth and Seventh symphonies.

The performances of this core orchestral repertoire were revelatory and the music well worth revisiting in the expert hands of Muti and the CSO. “Under Muti, however, the orchestra played with such gripping power that the

familiar music emerged uncommonly fresh and recovered much of its original elemental force,” commented Fleshler. “The expansive reading of Leonore no. 3 showed off the orchestra’s virtuos-ity while conveying the dramatic arc of Fidelio,” wrote David Rice of Classical Source. The Palm Beach Daily News praised the performance of the

Seventh, describing it as “infused with brilliant, energetic playing.” But, according to Harriet Howard Heithaus of the Naples Daily News, it was the Symphony no. 5 that “showed the orchestra at its most enthusiastic and responsive. . . . Its performance revealed the layers of the music without losing the building blocks of its architec-ture.” Classical Source added, “Muti maintained high intensity all the way through the seemingly

endless coda—rife with false endings—making the final chords come as a release of almost unbearable tension.” “The best way to describe an all-Beethoven concert with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to the musically uninitiated,” noted Heithaus, “It’s the whole pint of Talenti salted caramel chocolate gelato. With a soup spoon.” If this is true, then Chicago audiences are in for a decadent treat next season when Muti and the Orchestra perform all nine of Beethoven’s symphonies in honor of his semiquincentennial.

After West Palm Beach, the tour con-tinued with Muti and the Orchestra’s first performance together at Miami’s

Knight Concert Hall on February 27. Presented by the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, the concert featured the second program of the tour with Tchaikovsky’s Symphony no. 5 and Rimsky-Korsakov’s Sheherazade, which was also performed in Naples on March 2. “These Russian showpieces glowed anew as true mas-terworks,” said Lawrence Budman of the South Florida Classical Review. “From the first bars,” of Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony, he contin-ued, “Muti generated the work’s emotional velocity through supple phrasing rather than exaggerated bombast. Tchaikovsky’s melodies soared under Muti’s baton and his keen ear for detail drew out the inner voices.” Budman praised the brass section for the “strength at the climaxes with their mellow corporate blend bereft of harsh-ness” as well as the eight basses that “could be felt as well as heard” at the conclusion of the first movement. Stefán Ragnar Höskuldsson’s “silvery flute,” Jennifer Gunn’s “bright piccolo,” and Daniel Gingrich’s “large, vibrant horn sonority” were also singled out.

Sebastian Spreng of Miami Clásica described the performance of Sheherazade as an “impressive chromatic palette of unprecedented transparency.” He and other journalists complimented several featured members of the Orchestra: “Robert Chen’s finely wrought solos, embellished by Sarah Bullen’s harp” were frequently mentioned, as were the “warmth” of Keith Buncke’s bassoon in The Tale of the Kalandar Prince movement, Stephen

Williamson’s “delightful riffs” in The Young Prince and the Young Princess, and John Sharp’s “beau-tifully flowing cello solo was devoid of syrupy excess” (Miami Clásica, Classical Source, and South Florida Classical Review).

“A little Italian music” was offered as an encore throughout the tour: the intermezzo from Giordano’s opera Fedora, which allowed, “Muti to indulge his passion for opera, and this mostly string transcription was the perfect Italian sor-betto to end an evening of glorious orchestral playing” (South Florida Classical Review, and note, yet another reference to Italian delicacies).

The performances in Frances Pew Hayes Hall on February 28 and March 2 presented by Artis–Naples marked the

beginning of a three-year residency that includes multiple community performances. Between their two concerts this season, musicians participated in educational activities organized by the CSOA’s Negaunee Music Institute. One group traveled to nearby Immokalee High School to perform for students in middle- and high-school ensem-bles. Oto Carrillo (horn), Sunghee Choi (viola), Michael Hovnanian (bass), Russell Hershow (violin), Mihaela Ionescu (violin), and Vadim

Karpinos (percussion) gave an interactive chamber music per-formance at the high school. A highlight was the performance of Leroy Anderson’s The Typewriter (1950), which uses a vintage Smith-Corona as a percus-sion instrument.

Another group conducted master classes on the Artis–Naples campus for members of the Naples Philharmonic Youth Orchestra. Among the instructors were principal second violin Baird Dodge, acting principal viola Li-Kuo Chang, principal cello John Sharp, and assistant principal clarinet John Bruce Yeh. The master classes served as an integral part of the CSO’s residency at Artis–Naples. Open to the public, the master classes offered, “an intimate look into of the process of making a musical work ready for performance for the audience. They’re free; they’re fascinating; and they bring new ears to listeners” (Naples Daily News). As an added bonus, students participating in the master classes were given tickets to see the Orchestra for the Saturday night performance.

In fact, members of the Orchestra went into the communities to work with young musi-cians during every stop of the Florida tour. In West Palm Beach, on February 25, members performed the Once Upon a Symphony produc-tion of The Ugly Duckling for the young students of Palm Beach Day Academy and Opportunity Early Childhood Education and Family Center. Produced and presented in collaboration with Chicago Children’s Theatre, the family friendly performance featured Emma Gerstein (flute),

Lora Schaefer (oboe), David Griffin (horn), Gary Stucka (cello), and actor Lily Emerson. On February 26, CSO musicians including David Taylor (assistant concertmaster), Sylvia Kilcullen (assistant principal second violin), Li-Kuo Chang (acting principal viola), John Sharp (principal cello), and Daniel Armstrong (bass) led section-als at the Dreyfoos School for the Arts in West Palm Beach. In Miami, Stephen Williamson (principal clarinet), Dennis Michel (bassoon), and Michael Mulcahy (trombone) gave master classes for members of the New World Symphony at the Frank Gehry–designed New World Center, which opened in 2011 and serves as the home of the orchestra, a training ensemble established in 1987 by conductor-composer Michael Tilson Thomas. Florida students delighted in these rare opportunities to learn from the finest orches-tral musicians. Heithaus of the Naples Daily News encouraged locals to attend public master classes to witness this important exchange of professional-level experience and skill to stu-dents; here “the teacher works as a chef, finding the right ingredients and the right techniques to make the performance its absolute best—the most delicious—it can be.”

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra thanks the following donors for generously supporting its appearance in Florida during 2019: Bank of America, Global Sponsor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra; The Lauter McDougal Charitable Fund; Mr. and Mrs. Verne G. Istock; Robert Kohl and Clark Pellett; and the Zell Family Foundation.

Words of Appreciation for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra

“ The CSO represents all that is beautiful about cultural differences. . . . Chicago and its sur-rounding areas are so very fortunate to have this local gem within our proximity and yet, be able to experience and enjoy music from around the world.”

JACALYN GRONEK

“ The CSO’s musicians and Maestro Muti put not just their immense talent, but also their souls, into every note and phrase. And, our souls feel better for it! . . . We always leave Symphony Center in a “higher” place . . . and with smiles on our faces.

VICKI AND BARRY KAUFMAN

“ We are truly blessed to have an orchestra of such consummate artistry so readily accessible. It is an honor to contrib-ute to its continuation for the inspiration of future generations.

EDWARD J. AMREIN

“ The CSO is magical!”

AUGUST PEREIRA

“ I will never forget the feeling of being over-whelmed by the sheer virtuosity of the orches-tra and the beautiful sound they produced.”

BRIAN PARK

“ We have been going to the symphony for decades. It is a treasured part of our cultural life.”

ALAN SCHRIESHEIM AND KAY TORSHEN

“ While the adult in me is deeply grateful each time I experience an exquisite CSO perfor-mance, it is the child in me who looks up at those twinkling palace lights, knowing that “not everyone gets to go,” and feeling so thankful for the privilege to do so.”

Auxiliary Education: The CSO’s Percussion Scholarship Program

T oday we’re working on flams!” declares Christopher, an unbounded source of pure energy that has taken the form of a

charismatic third grader. “We have our technique test next week, and I need to work on my open and closed drum rolls.” He then demonstrates the double-stroke (open roll), where he gradually speeds to a full roll before decelerating back to the original metered, alternating hand movements. Christopher is one of the newest members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s Percussion Scholarship Program (PSP).

Since its founding in 1995, PSP has offered intensive, weekly percussion instruction on full scholarship to Chicago youth in grades 4–12.

Students are admitted through a competitive pro-cess that includes a provisional period followed by an invitation to continue to participate through eighth grade, and a select group goes on through high school. The program’s founders direct the group: CSO percussion Patricia Dash and her husband, Chicago Lyric Opera Orchestra assistant principal percussion Douglas Waddell.

PSP exemplifies the mission of the CSO’s Negaunee Music Institute: a long-term com-mitment to music education under the highest pedagogical ideologies, void of financial and socio-discriminatory barriers. Students hail from neighborhoods across Chicago and proportion-ally reflect the city’s diverse population, includ-

ing African American, Latinx, and Asian American students, among others.

The program meets through-out the year and provides each student with free instruments and lesson materials. The Percussion Scholars perform four times each season at Symphony Center as an ensem-ble and offer a free concert for Chicago Public School students as part of the Chicago Youth in Music Festival. This season’s festival concert took place on February 11 and featured over 1,500 students in Orchestra Hall to hear a program that included everything from opera excerpts by Saint-Saëns to a trash can drumline set to rapper Macklemore’s beats and lyrics.

S ean, seventeen, a veteran of the program, now helps coach some of the

younger players. “I really like teaching the first-year players.” Cracking a smile, he adds, “It

reminds me how far I’ve come.” He works with Christopher on his flams and double-strokes. Christopher, who clearly looks up to Sean, soaks up all the advice.

In the past two seasons, Sean has appeared with PSP on an episode of NPR’s From the Top; was awarded the prestigious Jack Kent Cooke Foundation’s Young Artist Award; received a scholarship to Interlochen Arts Camp; was a finalist with the CSO’s Crain-Maling Foundation Young Artist Competition; and was selected to join Carnegie Hall’s distinguished NYO2 orches-tral program this coming summer.

J enny is the mother to twelve-year-old PSP student Mekhi. She and her husband do not mind all that the program asks of the

family members of participants—rehearsals, recitals, potlucks, etc.—because she sees results in her son’s musical development and overall work ethic. Their family lives in a duplex on the South Side, where they have set up a practice space for Mekhi in the top-floor living room—where the ambient sound is “minimized.” Coming home from work recently, Jenny was stopped by her neighbor, who said, “Mekhi’s marimba solo is really coming along!”

PSP’s spring recitals draw capacity crowds to Symphony Center’s Buntrock Hall.

Learning music fundamen-tals from trained and skilled instructors is an important step toward the development of new musicians. Good form, musical context, practice tips, and account-ability are all vital aspects of the formal training process. The advantage of having these lessons taught by world-class industry leaders is readily apparent in the improvement and skill level of the students.

Most musicians do not study with virtuosos until they are further along in their musical stud-ies. Even then, it tends to be one-off lessons in order to prepare for a major audition or recital. PSP demonstrates the benefits of having this level of training from the highest caliber of teach-ers from the very beginning of a musical career. Forty-eight weekends a year (yes, you read that correctly), with a strict, drill-sergeant-like adher-ence to the practice schedule, Patricia Dash and Douglas Waddell train all program participants.

The intrinsic value of this program is second-to-none (to say nothing of the “retail

value”). This is not a hyperbolic statement—the Percussion Scholarship Program is an anom-aly. Dissertations have been written about it; graduates go on to some of the most prestigious colleges and conservatories in the country; and Kent Nagano and the Montreal Symphony are currently considering using the PSP model to start a similar program. To add to all this, its leg-acy also includes the college graduation of every program participant.

Join the Theodore Thomas Society

Discover the benefits of making a legacy gift to your Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

Named in honor of the founding music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Theodore Thomas Society recognizes those who make financial plans to benefit the CSO in the future.

Music was a constant part of the social connection among my friends when I was a teenager. To listen to music back then required a radio and/or record player(!), so we all shared. Through friends, I was introduced to classical music.

When I moved to Chicago, friends had season tickets to the CSO and I joined them sitting in the Terrace. From there we watched the conductors as they used small facial changes to intimately direct the musicians. It was like sitting in the middle of the musicians—such a thrill!

I am so proud to live in Chicago and to enjoy wonderful CSO concerts. The CSO brings me such joy and it was important for me through my estate plans to support this jewel and help ensure future generations of musicians will be able to give the gift of wonderful music to listeners.

2019 Patrons Tour to Japan

On January 19, 2019, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra embarked on an eleven-concert tour of Asia with stops in Taipei, Shanghai, Beijing, Tokyo, and Osaka. The tour repertoire showcased works by Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, and Verdi. A group of twenty-one CSOA trustees and donors joined the CSO in Japan for the official patrons tour lead by tour chairs Leslie and John Burns and Shelley Ochab and Chet Gougis.

In Tokyo, the patrons participated in cultural activities, including a private lesson in noh—classical Japanese musical drama—and a wadaiko drumming class with CSO assistant principal timpani Vadim Karpinos, principal bassoon Keith Buncke, and principal second violin Baird Dodge; visited several art and history museums as well as Japanese temples and Mount Fuji; enjoyed walking tours showcasing Tokyo’s architecture; received a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to operate a CSO tour; shared several delicious meals with CSO musicians; and enjoyed CSO performances in the beautiful Bunka Kaikan concert hall. The patrons later traveled on to the island of Hokaido for the annual Snow Festival in its capital, Sapporo.

Meander, Spiral, Explode for Percussion Quartet and Orchestra

Christopher Cerrone is internationally acclaimed for compositions characterized by a subtle handling of timbre and resonance, a deep literary fluency, and a flair for multimedia collaborations.

For the 2018–19 season, Cerrone composed The

Insects Became Magnetic, a major new orches-tral work with electronics for the Los Angeles Philharmonic conducted by Roderick Cox. Recent and upcoming commissions include a violin concerto for Jennifer Koh and the Detroit Symphony; a concerto for piano and strings for Shai Wosner, performed with East Coast Chamber Orchestra, the Albany Symphony, and the Phoenix Symphony; and a quartet for Sandbox Percussion. Cerrone also orchestrated his opera All Wounds Bleed for Chicago Fringe Opera (performances scheduled May 17–25), curated the series Reiterations for the Metropolis Ensemble, held residencies at Chatterbird and Baylor University, and is the 2018 conducting/compo-sition fellow at the Britt Festival. An all-Cerrone album recorded by Christopher Rountree and wildUp will be released on New Amsterdam Records in August 2019. Excerpts from his new opera, In a Grove (libretto by Stephanie Fleischmann), received its premiere at the Morgan Library in New York in March. Cerrone’s opera, Invisible Cities, based on Italo Calvino’s landmark novel, received its fully staged world premiere in a production by the Industry, directed by Yuval Sharon in Los Angeles’s Union Station. Both the film and opera are available as CDs, DVDs, and digital downloads.

Christopher Cerrone holds degrees from the Yale School of Music and the Manhattan School of Music. He is published by Schott NY and Project Schott New York, and will join the

composition faculty of the Peabody Conservatory for 2019–20.

Christopher Cerrone on Meander, Spiral, Explode

I n April 2019, my friend Tim Horvath, a novelist, texted me, “Do you know Jane Alison’s Meander, Spiral, Explode? It’s a book

that focuses on unusual structural elements in novels.” I always trust Tim’s suggestions, and I tore through the book over the next few days, finding it unique and deeply insightful. I experienced what Melville called “the shock of recognition”—seeing someone describe your own efforts (in this case, an in-progress percussion concerto) without ever having seen a note of it.

The three words of the title seemed to per-tain specifically to each movement of my con-certo. The first movement—while dramatic and intense—seems to meander through different landscapes, where the gunshot-like sound of four wooden slats morphs into marimbas and bowed vibraphones while changing volume, key, and context.

The second movement (played without pause after the first) is structured like a double helix. A rising scale on two vibraphones slowly expands, speeds up, and finally blossoms into a sea of polyrhythms.

As for the last movement (again played without pause), the explosion seems fairly self-evident. A single exclamation point ejects into the ether lines of sixteenth notes, which return, again and again, to a white-hot core. The propulsive patterns in this movement constantly shift emphasis but always maintain energy.

The end of the work brings us back to the first three notes of the piece, suggesting one more shape that Jane Alison discusses in her book: a fractal. The simple shape of the opening turns

approximate performance time26 minutes

Although Debussy’s parents once planned for him to become a sailor, La mer, subtitled Three Symphonic Sketches, proved to be his greatest seafaring adventure. Debussy’s childhood summers in Cannes left him with vivid memories of the sea, “worth more than reality,” as he put it at the time he was composing La mer some thirty years later. As an adult, Debussy seldom got his feet

wet, preferring the seascapes available in painting and literature; La mer was written in the mountains, where his “old friend the sea, always innumerable and beautiful,” was no closer than a memory.

Like the great British painter J.M.W. Turner, who stared at the sea for hours and then went inside to paint, Debussy worked from memory, occasionally turning for inspiration to a few other sources. Debussy first mentioned his new work in a letter dated September 12, 1903; the title he proposed for the first of the three symphonic sketches, “Calm Sea around the Sanguinary Islands,” was borrowed from a short story by Camille Mauclair published during the 1890s. When Debussy’s own score was printed, he insisted that the cover include a detail from The Great Wave off Kanagawa, the most celebrated print by the Japanese artist Hokusai, then enormously popular in France.

We also know that Debussy greatly admired Turner’s work. His richly atmospheric seascapes recorded the daily weather, the time of day, and even the most fleeting effects of wind and light in ways utterly new to painting, and they spoke directly to Debussy. (In 1902, when Debussy went to London, where he saw a number of Turner’s paintings, he enjoyed the trip but hated actually crossing the English Channel.) The name Debussy finally gave to the first section of La mer, From Dawn to Noon on the Sea, might easily be that of a painting by Turner made sixty years

earlier, for the two shared not only a love of subject but also of long, specific, evocative titles.

T here’s something in Debussy’s first sym-phonic sketch very like a Turner painting of the sun rising over the sea. They both

reveal, in their vastly different media, those magical moments when sunlight begins to glow in near darkness, when familiar objects emerge from the shadows. This was Turner’s favorite image—he even owned several houses from which he could watch, with undying fascination, the sun pierce the line separating sea and sky. Debussy’s achievement, though decades later than Turner’s, is no less radical, for it uses familiar language in truly fresh ways. From Dawn to Noon on the Sea can’t be heard as traditional program music, for it doesn’t tell a tale along a standard time line (although Debussy’s friend Eric Satie reported that he “particularly liked the bit at a quarter to eleven”). Nor can it be read as a piece of symphonic discourse, for it is organized without regard for conventional theme and development. Debussy’s audiences, like Turner’s before him, were baffled by a work that takes as its subject matter color, texture, and nuance.

Debussy’s second sketch, too, is all sug-gestion and shimmering surface, fascinated with sound for its own sake. Melodic line, rhythmic regularity, and the use of standard harmonic progressions are all shat-tered, gently but deci-sively, by the fluid play of the waves. The final Dialogue of the Wind and the Sea (another title so like Turner’s) cap-tures the violence of two elements, air and water,

as they collide. At the end, the sun breaks through the clouds. La mer repeatedly resists traditional analysis. “We must agree,” Debussy writes, “that the beauty of a work of art will always remain a mystery, in other words, we can never be abso-lutely sure ‘how it’s made.’ ”

La mer was controversial even during rehears-als, when, as Debussy told Stravinsky, the violin-ists tied handkerchiefs to the tips of their bows in protest. The response at the premiere was mixed, though largely unfriendly. It is hard now to separate the reaction to this novel and chal-lenging music from the current Parisian view of the composer himself, for during the two years he worked on La mer, Debussy moved in with Emma Bardac, the wife of a local banker, leaving behind his wife Lily, who attempted suicide. Two weeks after the premiere of La mer, Bardac gave birth to Debussy’s child, Claude-Emma, later known as Chou-Chou. Debussy married Emma Bardac on January 20, 1908. The night before, he con-ducted an orchestra for the first time in public, in a program that included La mer. This time, it was a spectacular success, though many of his friends still wouldn’t speak to him.

It was Clara Wieck, the future Mrs. Robert Schumann, who suggested that “it would be best if [Robert] composed for orchestra.” Although he was becoming well known as a composer of fanciful and poetic piano pieces, Clara noted in her diary in 1839, the year before she and Robert married, that “his imagination cannot find sufficient scope on the piano. . . . His compositions are

all orchestral in feeling. My highest wish is that he should compose for orchestra—that is his field! May I succeed in bringing him to it.” In less than two years, Clara—controlling, bossy, and determined as ever, but also musically savvy and genuinely concerned about Robert’s career—would write, “It isn’t my turn to keep the diary this week, but when your husband is writing a symphony, he must be excused from other things.” That symphony, in B-flat major, is the one we know as Robert’s first, and, as Clara predicted, it opened an important new chapter in his creative life.

Clara was only nine years old when she first met Robert, a pianist and budding composer twice her age who showed up at the Wieck home to study piano with her father Friedrich. At first, Robert and Clara vied for Friedrich’s attention as his prize pupil, for each of them was gifted enough to have a major career as a concert artist. But the tables began to turn in 1835, when Robert, now twenty-five, realized that Clara had matured, both as a musician and as a young woman. That November 25 they exchanged their first kiss, an event so significant that Robert would always remember the date. The courtship that ensued was an unusually drawn-out, heated, on-again-off-again affair, continually thwarted by Friedrich, who foresaw that in gaining a son-in-law he would lose not just a daughter, but all prospects of her having a career to rival those of Chopin and Liszt.

By the time Robert and Clara finally married in September 1840, after a sustained court battle with Friedrich, Robert had published twenty-three scores, all for solo piano—two sonatas, Papillons, Carnaval, Kinderszenen, Kreisleriana, even variations on a theme by Clara herself—a lifetime of piano landmarks all composed before the age of thirty. But, as Clara knew, he also aspired to write a symphony, the form that Beethoven had

stamped as the most pow-erful public statement a composer could make. In 1832, Robert had devoted himself to a serious study of Beethoven’s music, even making piano reductions of two of Beethoven’s orchestral movements, as if to translate them into the language he knew best. That autumn, no doubt encouraged by the experience, he undertook his own first big orches-tral work, a symphony in G minor. The opening movement was per-formed that November in Zwickau at a concert in which the prodigy Clara also appeared, and then again, after Robert reworked it, on two subse-quent occasions, including Clara’s “grand concert” in the Leipzig Gewandhaus in April 1833. But later that spring, he put the symphony aside, even though he had nearly completed three additional movements, and returned to composing the piano pieces at which he excelled—including ten impromptus on a “romance” by Clara.

Like a poet who decides that a novel is beyond his reach, Schumann quickly gave up the idea of writing a symphony. But the fire was rekindled when he visited Ferdinand Schubert, the late com-poser’s brother, during a trip to Vienna in 1839, and discovered the manuscript of Schubert’s Great C major symphony—one of music’s most remark-able finds. He immediately arranged for the sym-phony to be performed by the prestigious Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra under Mendelssohn’s baton, and after the premiere he wrote to Clara, “Today, I was in seventh heaven . . . and wished only that you should be my wife and that I also could write such symphonies.”

Marrying Clara unlocked Robert’s cre-ativity. The year of their wedding he wrote some 140 songs, an unexpected change of direction (he had not composed songs in a dozen years) that produced some of his greatest works, includ-ing the Dichterliebe cycle. Then in January 1841, he switched gears again just as abruptly, this time with Clara’s endorsement—realizing her “highest wish” and now, apparently, his as well. In just three days, from the twenty-sixth to the twenty-eighth, he sketched an entire

symphony, the product of a steady “symphonic fire” and sleepless nights. Over the span of the next month, the score was fleshed out, revised, and polished, and Robert was so absorbed in his work that for five weeks he didn’t make a single entry in the marriage diary that he and Clara had begun, with alternating lines from each. It was therefore left to Clara to record that the new orchestral work was to be called the Spring Symphony, and that it was inspired by a “spring poem” by Adolph Böttger. Robert was writing during Leipzig’s shortest, grayest days, and, inevitably, his symphony is more about the longing for spring than the season itself, as he told one of its first conductors. (Böttger’s poem similarly contrasts the thoughts of a despon-dent lover with the season’s arrival.) “I should like the very first trumpet entrance to sound as if it came from on high,” he later wrote of the opening measures, “like a summons to awaken-ing.” (Schumann’s trumpets even duplicate the iambic tetrameter of Böttger’s line, “O wende,

wende deinen Lauf ” [Oh turn, turn and change your course].)

S chumann originally planned to give each movement a title. The first was called “Beginning of Spring,” and

Schumann later admitted that he wanted its progression from darkness to spirited activity “to suggest the world’s turning green, perhaps with a butterfly hovering in the air, and then, in the Allegro, to show how everything to do with spring is coming to life.” This is music of great confidence and an almost innocent joy. The recapitulation of the Allegro is heralded by a blazing full-orchestra announcement of the “summons to awaken-ing,” a particularly dramatic touch to crown the movement.

The second movement, originally enti-tled “Evening,” is a rich orchestral larghetto, and not the simple song without words one might expect of a composer steeped in writing piano miniatures. There are many lovely details, none more unexpected than the pianissimo arrival of the trombones at the very end. The “merry play-mates” in the now-suppressed title of Schumann’s scherzo have some rather demonic fun, first with the trombone theme from the Larghetto, and then with two trios—one a simple country dance, the other hectic with an undertone of danger.

Although Schumann called his finale “Spring at its height,” he warned that it was “a farewell to spring, therefore not to be taken too frivolously.” It is, nevertheless, a nearly cloudless succession of spirited and joyous ideas—a reminder that the last days of spring lead to a full, bright summer—capped by the puckish, almost-Mendelssohnian suggestion of birds and beasts at play.

Ultimately, Schumann’s score heralds not so much the advent of spring as the arrival of an important new symphonic talent. In the months following the Spring Symphony, Schumann composed several other big instrumental works, including a new symphony in D minor (the one we now know as number four)—the fabled “year of song” of 1840 giving way to a year of orchestral music. Schumann had once worried that there was nothing new to be said in symphonic form—that his contemporaries were merely produc-ing “pale reflections of Beethoven”—but even as an orchestral newcomer he managed to create a work that has taken its place among the sympho-nies that have stood the test of time.

Ken-David Masur Conductor

Ken-David Masur, recently appointed the new music director for the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, begins his appointment in the 2019–20 season. He began the 2018–19 season making his debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at

Ravinia in two all-Tchaikovsky programs, then returned to Tanglewood to lead the Boston Symphony Orchestra in works by Glinka, Rachmaninov’s Second Piano Concerto with Kirill Gerstein, and Stravinsky’s The Firebird. At summer’s end, he conducted workshops and a concert celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Mendelssohn Foundation in Tokyo.

In the fall, he led a subscription week with the BSO, where he continues as associate conductor. His guest engagements this season include weeks with the Louisville Orchestra and the Detroit and Milwaukee symphonies in addition to con-certs abroad with the National Philharmonic of Russia, Collegium Musicum Basel, the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra in Scandinavia, and the Mulhouse Symphony Orchestra in France.

Other recent guest engagements include weeks with the Milwaukee, Colorado, and Portland (Maine) symphonies, and returns to the Los

Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl; the Munich Symphony, where he is principal guest conductor; and to the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra in Japan. He led the Orchestre National de France in Paris in a program with Anne-Sophie Mutter, and regularly conducts in Germany, Korea, and Moscow. As a sought-after leader and educator of younger players, Masur frequently conducts the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, Boston University Tanglewood Institute, and the New England Conservatory and Tanglewood Music Center orchestras.

Ken-David Masur and his wife, pianist Melinda Lee Masur, are founders and artistic directors of the Chelsea Music Festival, an annual two-week multimedia production of music, art, and cuisine.

Masur has recently made recordings with the English Chamber Orchestra and violinist Fanny Clamagirand, and with the Stavanger Symphony. As founding music director of the Bach Society Orchestra and Chorus at Columbia University, he toured Germany and released a critically acclaimed album of symphonies and cantatas by W.F. Bach, C.P.E. Bach, and J.S. Bach. WQXR named Masur’s recording of Gisle Kverndokk’s Symphonic Dances with the Stavanger Symphony one of the Best New Classical Releases of July 2018. Masur received a Grammy nomination from the Latin Recording Academy in the Best Classical Album of the Year category for his work as a pro-ducer of the album Salon Buenos Aires.

Who is your favorite composer and/or what is your favorite piece?I love all brass-band music. I listen to Black Dyke Band and International Staff Band music every single day!

If I weren’t a professional musician, I would be . . .A professional soccer player.

What inspired you to choose your instrument?I started music in the Salvation Army and natu-rally fell in love with brass-band music. I began playing cornet when I was ten years old.

What are your interests and/or hobbies outside of music?I am a big fan of Futbol Club Barcelona—Força Barça!

James Perez Trombone

Hometown: Houston, Texas

What is your most memorable musical moment?Performing Maslanka’s Fourth Symphony with the Texas All-State Band in 2011. It was by far the most tal-

ented group that I had ever performed with; that particular symphony is so incredibly powerful.

Who is your favorite composer and/or what is your favorite piece?As a brass player, I love playing anything by Mahler or Bruckner—particularly Bruckner because of the loud, boisterous moments, but also because of his ability to orchestrate brilliantly sensitive brass chorales that illuminate the more delicate aspects of brass playing.

If I weren’t a professional musician, I would be . . .A sports statistician. I love numbers and really enjoy studying the stat lines of profes-sional athletes.

What inspired you to choose your instrument?I originally wanted to play the trumpet, but my sixth grade band director said that I had “the lips of a trombone player.” I had no idea what he meant, so I took his word for it. Thirteen years later, here we are!

What are your interests and/or hobbies outside of music?Whenever I have free time, you can usually find me near a TV with sports on. I typically like to follow the biggest sporting event going on at any given moment, but football is what draws the majority of my focus.

Queenie Edwards Violin

Hometown: Tampa, Florida

What is your most memorable musical moment?Playing Bruckner’s Symphony no. 9 under the direction of Christoph Eschenbach at the

Konzerthaus Berlin. The orchestra was very close-knit, and it was an incredibly inspiring and moving concert.

Who is your favorite composer and/or what is your favorite piece?At the moment, Brahms. Lately I’ve been listening to his symphonies on loop!

If I weren’t a professional musician, I would be . . .A cat. Life is so easy!

What inspired you to choose your instrument?My brother. I was taking piano lessons at the time, but I always went to his violin lessons and eventu-ally, after hearing him play so much, I wanted to start playing violin, too.

What are your interests and/or hobbies outside of music?I enjoy spending time in nature, finding new routes to jog along, and discovering where the best local restaurants are hidden.

Eva María Barbado Gutiérrez Cello

Hometown: León, Spain

What is your most memorable musical moment?I would probably high-light the first time I played with a professional orches-tra. It was with Castilla y

León Symphony Orchestra, and it happened in my senior year in college. We played Symphonie fantastique. It was a very special and exciting moment in my career.

Who is your favorite composer and/or what is your favorite piece?It is difficult to choose my favorite composer or piece. However, I really enjoy both listening and playing baroque music and twentieth century French music.

If I weren’t a professional musician, I would be . . .Most likely a psychologist.

What inspired you to choose your instrument?I was seven years old the first time I listened to the cello. Since that very first moment, I fell in love with its sound and realized I really wanted to play that instrument.

What are your interests and/or hobbies outside of music?I like painting, traveling, being in contact with nature, and hanging out with my loved ones. I also really love spending time with my little poodle Bimba.
