WELCOME
Welcome to the fifth season in the resurgence of the Colorado Symphony. From the brink of oblivion, this extraordinary ensemble – one of the best in the country and everybody’s orchestra – continues to evolve.
During the past four seasons:
◆ musicians and conductors from all over the world competed at auditions for coveted spots with the Colorado Symphony;
◆ 15 of the finest musicians in the world, 9 of them titled positions, as well as a new Associate Conductor from Australia and Assistant Conductor from Columbia joined the orchestra;
◆ performed over 150 times a season with an expanded repertoire that has something for everyone of all ages;
◆ expanded our educational programs to enhance the appreciation of music for a lifetime;
◆ recorded classical music as well as contemporary and indie music;
◆ innovated in the delivery of our music electronically;
◆ initiated new commercial activities in recording and scoring for films, games, and television;
◆ and made great strides toward stabilizing our financial position.
We are proud of the exceptional talent and diversity of our musicians and artistic leadership that brings our audiences the best orchestral music possible. We are proud of all of the organization’s musicians and staff for their commitment to get from where we were four years ago to where we are today. Most of all, we are proud of the entire community that has made the Colorado Symphony’s resurgence possible.
At the end of the day, it’s all about the music. The 2015/16 season looks to be one of the best ever. We hope you enjoy it and thank you for your continued support.
Mary Rossick Kern and Jerry Kern, Co-Chairs of the Board of Trustees

Following a comprehensive international search and audition period with more than 200 candidates, eight conductors were
selected to come to Boettcher Concert Hall to audition in front of the Colorado Symphony’s orchestra and artistic leadership. The 3-day process included multiple rounds of conducting, individual interviews with artistic leadership, presenting in front of an audience, and more.
The Colorado Symphony is excited to announce that not one, but two new conductors join our organization. Christopher Dragon joins the Colorado Symphony as Associate Conductor and Andres Lopera joins as Assistant Conductor.
Colorado Symphony Conductor Search
“The acquisition of these two very talented young conductors is a testament to the resurgence of our orchestra as it continues to develop artistically. We are sure that all of our audiences will enjoy them on the podium.”
— Jerry KernColorado Symphony CEO
TAKINGTHE STAND
CHRISTOPHER DRAGON - ASSOCIATE CONDUCTOR
Christopher Dragon comes to the Colorado Symphony following nearly three years as the assistant conductor of the
West Australian Symphony Orchestra (WASO). Christopher has been an important figure in expanding
orchestral music in Australia in recent years, serving as the conductor or director of various organizations, such as the Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, the South Side Symphony Orchestra, the Western Australia Youth Orchestra’s Philharmonic Orchestra, and others.
In recent years, Christopher has been busy performing internationally, including being selected in 2014 to conduct the Princess Galyani Vadhana Youth Orchestra in Thailand and participating in the Jarvi Winter Academy in Estonia, where he
was awarded the Orchestra’s Favorite Conductor Prize in 2014.“It’s a huge privilege to be joining the Colorado Symphony as associate conductor,”
Christopher said. “I had such a fantastic time with the orchestra during the auditions and instantly felt a connection with the musicians. I look forward to exploring more of Colorado and immersing myself into American music and culture.”
ANDRES LOPERA - ASSISTANT CONDUCTOR
Andres Lopera is a leading Latin American orchestral artist in the United States, with nearly a decade of work in both
North and South America. In 2012, Andres was appointed music director of the
Metropolitan Youth Symphony in Portland, Ore., where he oversaw more than 460 students. In recognition of his contributions to Portland, Andres received the Portland Monthly Award, Rising Star Award, and the Hispanic Metropolitan Chamber Bravo Award.
Andres’ previous experiences include conducting the Oregon Symphony, Toledo Symphony, New World Symphony, National Repertory Orchestra, and Portland Columbia Symphony Orchestra. He has also worked with professional and youth orchestras throughout Central and South America, including orchestral groups in Colombia, Brazil, Uruguay and Honduras, and also led the Youth Orchestra of the Americas musical camp.
“I am thrilled and sincerely honored to join the Colorado Symphony,” Andres said. “I look forward to connecting with the Colorado community and to contributing to this wonderful organization.”
SOUNDINGS 2015-2016 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG 19
Bringing on these two new conductors is a testament to the growth of the Colorado Symphony both artistically as well as in the depth and variety of programming that has become enough work for two conductors to share. As Associate Conductor, Christopher will make his Masterworks concert debut at the Shakespeare Festival on March 18-20 at Boettcher Concert Hall, and both Christopher and Andres will conduct Pops, Inside the Score, Family Series, and additional concerts and events during the upcoming 2015/16 season.

Leah Kovach – ViolaLeah comes to Colorado from Houston. Leah is a founding member of the Houston-based Calliope String Quartet, which completed its first concert tour this July visiting cities in Italy, Austria, and Slovenia. For the past three years, Leah also worked as a music coach for multiple schools, including the Kinkaid School Orchestra’s 2012 tour of China and has taught master classes at the Conservatorio Anna Maria Valencia in Cali, Colombia.
Ben Odhner – First ViolinBen Odhner became a member of the Colorado Symphony in 2014 after receiving his Master of Music degree from Rice University, and in 2015 he won the position of Fixed 4th Chair in the first violin section. Earlier in his career, Ben was a member of the YouTube Symphony Orchestra, which performed at Carnegie Hall as part of the first International Classical Music Summit brought together through the internet.
Phil Hembree – Second / Assistant Principal TrumpetBefore coming to Colorado, Phil was completing his Master of Music in Trumpet Performance from Rice University. Phil is also an avid chamber musician, and specializes in new music. He has worked with several composers to premier new works across the country including most recently a soundtrack recording to the silent film, Cinderella (1922). Phil is excited to move his career to Colorado so that he can take advantage of the great hiking and skiing when he’s not on stage at Boettcher Concert Hall.
John Sipher – Principal TromboneJohn is joining the Colorado Symphony from his home state of Virginia where he was Principal Trombone in the Richmond Symphony Orchestra. Along with trombone, John also plays the ukulele which is why he’s excited for the upcoming concert featuring Jake Shimabukuro with the Colorado Symphony in October.
The Colorado Symphony is proud of the reputation it has as one of the premier orchestras in the world. Because of that, we have musicians from all over the world that audition for a full time role on our stage.
The interesting part of auditions for new Colorado Symphony musicians is that the auditions are completed blind, meaning that the auditioning musicians and those choosing who proceed through auditions don’t meet until after the process is completed and musicians are chosen. There is a screen set up so that the musician can’t been seen, the musician does not talk, and there is even carpet to assure the sound of the shoes doesn’t give anything away. Therefore there are no gender, racial, age, or other demographic biases during the audition process, only the best musical talent.

MASTERWORKS PROGRAM NOTESRICHARD STRAUSS (1864-1949): Don Quixote, Fantastic Variations on a Theme of Knightly Character for Cello, Viola and Orchestra, Op. 35Richard Strauss was born on June 11, 1864 in Munich, and died September 8, 1949 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. He composed Don Quixote in 1897 in Munich; Franz Wuellner conducted the work’s premiere on March 8, 1898 in Cologne. The score calls for piccolo, two flutes, two oboes, English horn, two B-flat clarinets (second doubling E-flat clarinet), bass clarinet, three bassoons, contrabassoon, six horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tenor and bass tubas, timpani, percussion, harp, strings, and obbligato solo cello and viola. Duration is about 42 minutes. Last performed by the orchestra on February 28 - March 2, 2003, with En Shao conducting. Jurgen de Lemos was the solo cellist and Basil Vendryes the solo violist.
Don Quixote by Cervantes is not only among the earliest examples of the novel in world literature (1605), but also one of the most admired and widely enjoyed. Cervantes sketched his hero thus: “Through little sleep and much reading, he dried up his brains in such sort as he wholly lost his judgment.” Thereupon, “He fell into one of the strangest conceits that a madman ever stumbled on in this world ... that he should become a knight-errant, and go throughout the world with his horse and armor to seek adventures and practice in person all he had read was used by knights of yore....”
Knights in shining armor were as much out of fashion in Cervantes’ day as covered wagons and the pony express are in ours, but the nostalgic, historical romance that they represent is the source of much of the poignancy that Don Quixote elicits and that served as the emotional engine for Richard Strauss’ superb tone poem of 1897, as well as for works by some sixty other composers, including Telemann and Purcell. In his setting, Strauss chose to emphasize the dramatic elements of the tale by assigning a theme representing Quixote to the solo cello, and then varying the melody to depict several episodes from the novel. Along for the adventure, as well as much abuse from his master, is the faithful squire, Sancho Panza, usually played by solo viola, but also given to the tenor tuba and bass clarinet.
Strauss’ tone poem portrays ten of Quixote’s exploits. Introduction: The elderly hero’s fancy teems with the “impossible follies” of the romantic works he has been reading and in his madness he vows that he will become a knight-errant. Theme: Don Quixote, the Knight of the Rueful Countenance; Sancho Panza. The theme of the hero is announced by the solo cello. Sancho Panza’s theme emerges first in the bass clarinet, then in the tenor tuba, and later in the solo viola. Variation I. The Knight and his Squire Start on Their Journey. Inspired by the beautiful Dulcinea of Toboso, the Knight attacks some “monstrous giants,” who are nothing more than windmills revolving in the breeze. Variation II. The Victorious Battle Against the Host of the Great Emperor Alifanfaron. Quixote thinks he spies a huge army but it is only a great herd of sheep. The Knight is stoned by the shepherds. Variation III. Colloquies of Knight and Squire. Quixote speaks of honor, glory, the Ideal Woman. Sancho, the realist, holds forth for a more comfortable life. Variation IV. The Adventure with the Penitents. Mistaking a band of pilgrims for robbers and villains, Don Quixote attacks, only to receive a sound drubbing from them. Variation V. The Knight’s Vigil. Don Quixote spurns sleep. Dulcinea, in answer to his prayers, comes to him in a vision. Variation VI. The Meeting with Dulcinea. Jestingly, Sancho points to a country wench as Dulcinea. Don Quixote vows vengeance against the wicked magician who has wrought this transformation. Variation VII. The Ride Through the Air. Blindfolded, Knight and squire sit astride

MASTERWORKS PROGRAM NOTESa wooden horse, which — they have been informed — will carry them aloft. The wooden horse never leaves the ground. Variation VIII. The Journey to the Enchanted Park. Quixote and Sancho embark in an oarless boat. The boat capsizes, but the two reach shore and give thanks for their safety. Variation IX. The Combat with Two Magicians. Quixote violently charges a peaceable pair of monks going by on their mules. In his maddened brain, the monks are mighty magicians, and Quixote is elated beyond measure at their utter rout. Variation X. The Duel with the Knight of the White Moon. The greatest setback of his knightly career is suffered by Quixote at the hands of the Knight of the White Moon, who is, after all, a true friend. He explains that he hoped to cure Don Quixote of his madness, and, having won the duel, orders him to retire peacefully to his home. Finale. The Death of Don Quixote. The worn and harried Knight is no longer bemused. It was all
vanity, he reflects, and he is prepared, now, for the peace that is death.
oDon Juan, Tone Poem (after Nicolaus Lenau), Op. 20Strauss composed Don Juan in 1888 and conducted the Weimar Hoftheater Orchestra in the work’s premiere on November 11, 1889 in Weimar. The score calls for piccolo, three flutes, two oboes, English horn, two clarinets, two bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, harp and strings. Duration is about 17 minutes. Last performance by the orchestra was on December 4 &5, 2009, with Julian Kuerti on the podium.
It was in the 1630 drama El Burlador de Sevilla (“The Seducer of Seville”) by the Spanish playwright Tirso de Molina that the fantastic character of Don Juan first strutted upon the world’s stages. Tirso based his play on folk legends that were at least a century old in his day, and whose roots undoubtedly extend deeply into some Jungian archetype of masculine virility shared, from complementary viewpoints, by men and women alike. Don Juan found frequent literary representations thereafter, notably in works by Molière, Dumas, Byron, Espronceda, de Musset, Zorrilla and Shaw. A story of such intense passion was bound to inspire composers as well as men of letters, and Gluck, Delibes, Alfano, Dargomyzhsky and half a dozen others wrote pieces based on the character and his exploits. The most famous treatment of the tale is, of course, Mozart’s Don Giovanni, and it was through that opera that Richard Strauss first became acquainted with the Spanish Lothario. In June 1885, Strauss attended a production of Paul Heyse’s play Don Juans Ende with his mentor, Hans von Bulow, and the drama and its subject, building on the influence of Mozart’s masterpiece, made a powerful impression on the young composer.
Strauss started sketching his own Don Juan late in 1887, soon after he had met Pauline de Ahna in August. Pauline, a singer of considerable talent, got on splendidly with Strauss, and they were soon in love and married. The impassioned love themes of Don Juan were written under the spell of this romance. (The couple remained apparently happily married for the rest of their lives, though Pauline was a renowned nag. Gustav and Alma Mahler would cross the street to avoid meeting her. In 1904, his torch still glowing, Richard wrote his Domestic Symphony — that grandiloquent ode to life among the pots and pans — as a tribute to his familial bliss with

MASTERWORKS PROGRAM NOTESPauline.) For the program of his tone poem, Strauss went not to da Ponte or the Spanish authors, but to the 19th-century Hungarian poet Nicolaus Lenau. Lenau, born in 1802, was possessed by a blazing romantic spirit fueled in part by a hopeless love for the wife of a friend. In a fit of idealism in 1832, he came to America and settled on a homestead in Ohio for a few months. Disappointed with the New World, he returned to Europe, where he produced an epic on the Faust legend in 1836, and then undertook a poetic drama based on Don Juan. Lenau left this latter work unfinished in 1844 when he lost his mind and was admitted to an asylum, where he died six years later. Lenau’s Don Juan was not a rakish extrovert but rather a vain, sensual idealist. In the author’s words, “My Don Juan is no hot-blooded man, eternally pursuing women. It is the longing in him to find a woman who is to him womanhood incarnate, and to enjoy in the one all the women on earth whom he cannot as individuals possess. Because he does not find her, although he reels from one to another, at last Disgust seizes hold of him, and this Disgust is the Devil that fetches him.” In Lenau’s version, Don Juan meets his death in a sword duel with the father of one of the women he has seduced. Disillusioned and empty, ready for death, he drops his guard and welcomes his fate.
Strauss’ tone poem captures the feverish emotion and charged sensuality of Lenau’s drama, but other than three abstruse excerpts from Lenau’s poem that appear in the score, the composer never gave a specific program for Don Juan. (He learned early that he could get far more publicity by letting critics and commentators contend over such details.) The body of the work comprises themes associated with the lover and his conquests. The vigorous opening strain and a stentorian melody majestically proclaimed by the horns near the mid-point of the work belong to Don Juan. The music depicting the women in his life is variously coquettish, passionate and ravishing. (Norman Del Mar called the beautiful oboe melody “one of the greatest lovesongs in all music”). In the closing pages, an enormous crescendo is suddenly broken off by a long silence. A quivering chill comes over the music. A dissonant note on the trumpets marks the fatal thrust. Quietly, without hope of redemption, the libertine dies.
oSuite from Der Rosenkavalier, Op. 59Strauss composed the “comedy for music” Der Rosenkavalier to a libretto by Hugo von Hofmannsthal in 1909-1910; Ernst von Schuch conducted the premiere, in Dresden on January 26, 1911. The score calls for three flutes (third doubling piccolo), three oboes (third doubling English horn), three clarinets (3rd doubling E-flat clarinet), bass clarinet, three bassoons (third doubling contrabassoon), four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, two harps, celesta and strings. Duration is about 22 minutes. Last performed by the orchestra on April 25 & 26, 2008, with JoAnn Falletta conducting.
The libretto for Der Rosenkavalier, by the gifted Austrian man of letters Hugo von Hofmannsthal, is one of the masterworks of its type for the lyric stage. It gently probes the budding, young love of Octavian and Sophie, poignantly examines the fading youth of the Marschallin, and humorously exposes the blustering Baron Ochs. It is a superb evocation of
SOUNDINGS 2015-2016 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG PROGRAM 7
sentiment, wit and vigor wedded to one of the most opulently glorious musical scores ever composed. Former New York Times critic Harold Schonberg wrote of the emotional milieu of the opera, “In Der Rosenkavalier, there are no Jungian archetypes, only the human condition. Instead of long narratives, there are Viennese waltzes. Instead of a monumental Liebestod, there is a sad, elegant lament from a beautiful, aristocratic woman who begins to see old age. Instead of death, we get a bittersweet and hauntingly beautiful trio that in effect tells us that life will go on as it has always gone on. People do not die for love in Hofmannsthal’s world. They face the inevitable, surrender with what grace they can summon up, and then look around for life’s next episode. As Strauss himself later said, ‘The Marschallin had lovers before Octavian, and she will have lovers after him.’” Der Rosenkavalier is an opera wise and worldly, sophisticated and touching, sentimental and funny that contains some of the most memorable music to emerge from the opera house in the 20th century.
The Suite that Strauss extracted from Der Rosenkavalier includes the Prelude to Act I, the luminous Presentation of the Rose from Act II, the blustering Baron Ochs’ Arrival and Waltz from Act II, the glorious trio and duet in the opera’s closing scene, and a rousing selection of waltzes from the score.
