STEFAN JACKIW violin

STEFAN JACKIWMaking his FCM debut this evening, violinist Stefan Jackiw (pronounced “Jacque-eev”) is recognized as one of his generation’s most significant artists, captivating audiences with playing that combines poetry and purity with an impeccable technique. Hailed for playing of “uncommon musical substance” that is “striking for its intelligence and sensitivity” (Boston Globe), Jackiw has appeared as soloist with the orchestras of Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco, among others.

Last season Stefan Jackiw performed Prokofiev’s Second Violin Concerto at Carnegie Hall with Mikhail Pletnev, before embarking on a multi-city tour with the Russian National Orchestra. In Europe, Stefan returned to Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw with the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic. In Asia, he appeared for the first time with the Tokyo Symphony at Suntory Hall, and returned to the Seoul Philharmonic. He also toured Korea, playing chamber music with Gidon Kremer and Kremerata Baltica.

This season Stefan will appear on tour throughout North America, including performances with the Vancouver Symphony, Kansas City Symphony, Oregon Symphony, and New Jersey Symphony. Tours in Europe will also take Stefan back to the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic with Ludovic Morlot, to the Helsinki Philharmonic and Bern Symphony, and to the Munich Symphony. Further afield, he will appear on tour with the Royal Flemish Philharmonic in Shanghai and Mumbai. This season he will record the Ives violin sonata with Jeremy Denk for Nonesuch Records ahead of their 2017-18 North American tour. Previous recordings include the complete Brahms sonatas for Sony, hailed by Fanfare as “now the recording of the Brahms sonatas to have.”

In recent seasons Stefan toured Australia playing Mendelssohn with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, and he gave the world premiere of American composer David Fulmer’s Violin Concerto No. 2 Jubilant Arcs, written for him and commissioned by the Heidelberg Festival. Other

recent highlights include performances with the St. Louis Symphony under Nicholas McGegan, the Rotterdam Philharmonic under Yannick Nézet-Séguin, and the Pittsburgh Symphony under Juraj Valcuha.

Jackiw is also an active recitalist and chamber musician. He has performed in numerous important festivals and concert series, including the Aspen Music Festival, Ravinia Festival, Caramoor International Music Festival, the Celebrity Series of Boston, New York’s Mostly Mozart Festival, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Washington Performing Arts Society, and the Louvre Recital Series in Paris. As a chamber musician, Jackiw has collaborated with such artists as Steven Isserlis, Yo-Yo Ma, and Gil Shaham. At the opening night of Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall in New York, Jackiw was the only young artist invited to perform, playing alongside such artists as Emanuel Ax, Renée Fleming, Evgeny Kissin, and James Levine.

Born in 1985 to physicist parents of Korean and German descent, Stefan Jackiw began playing the violin at the age of four. His teachers have included Zinaida Gilels, Michèle Auclair, and Donald Weilerstein. He holds a Bachelor of Arts from Harvard University, as well as an Artist Diploma from the New England Conservatory, and is the recipient of a prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant. He lives in New York City.

ANNA POLONSKYAnna Polonsky, making her FCM debut this evening, is widely in demand as a soloist and chamber musician. She has appeared with the Moscow Virtuosi, the Buffalo Philharmonic, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, the Memphis Symphony, the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, the St. Luke’s Chamber Ensemble, and many others. Ms. Polonsky has collaborated with the Guarneri, Orion, Daedalus, and Shanghai Quartets, and with such musicians as Mitsuko Uchida, Yo-Yo Ma, David Shifrin, Richard Goode, Emanuel Ax, Arnold Steinhardt, Peter Wiley, and Jaime Laredo. She has performed chamber music at festivals such as Marlboro, Chamber Music Northwest, Music@

Menlo, and Caramoor, as well as at Bargemusic in New York City. Ms. Polonsky has performed at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Alice Tully Hall, and Carnegie Hall’s Stern, Weill, and Zankel Halls. A frequent guest at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, she was a member of the Chamber Music Society Two from 2002-2004. In 2006 she took part in the European Broadcasting Union’s project to record and broadcast all of Mozart’s keyboard sonatas, and in the spring of 2007 she performed a solo recital at Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium to inaugurate the Emerson Quartet’s "Perspectives" series. She is a recipient of a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship and the Andrew Wolf Chamber Music Award.

Polonsky made her solo piano debut at the age of seven at the Special Central Music School in Moscow, Russia. She emigrated to the United States in 1990 and attended high school at the Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan. She received her Bachelor of Music diploma from The Curtis Institute of Music under the tutelage of the renowned pianist Peter Serkin, with whom this season she is playing the concertos for two keyboards by Bach. She continued her studies with Jerome Lowenthal, earning her Master’s Degree from the Juilliard School. In addition to performing, she serves on the piano faculty of Vassar College, and in the summer at the Marlboro and Kneisel Hall chamber music festivals. She is married to pianist Orion Weiss who appeared last month with FCM. Together they perform as the Polonsky-Weiss Piano Duo. They have a three-year-old daughter.

The career of Clara Schumann is intertwined with that of her husband Robert, yet she was also an artist in her own right. As a renowned concert pianist, she set the standard for playing from memory, and as a composer her works reveal not only a well trained sense of harmony and form but also an expressive independence, a real genius. Clara and Robert met in Leipzig in 1834, married six years later, and had eight children together. Their relationship, and the initial resistance on the part of Clara’s dictatorial father to their marriage, inspired them to compose songs for one another. Their amorous exchange in music was sometimes melancholic, other times bitter, but always deeply loving. A central concern is loss, likewise an essential preoccupation of the Romantic aesthetic.

Despite Clara’s creative talent, women in the 19th century could not promote themselves as composers. “Women,” she lamented in a letter, “are not born to compose,” meaning not that they couldn’t, but that they were allowed only to play music penned by men. Thus Robert ultimately accomplished more than she did, producing four symphonies and a musical treatment of Johann von Goethe’s Faust, even though her works showed more initial promise. In addition to salon songs, she composed chamber pieces and an influential piano concerto that attracted the attention of, among other European composers, Johannes Brahms.

Inspiration for her Three Romances for Violin and Piano came from the violinist Joseph Joachim, with whom Clara performed on tour. The pieces reached the court of Hannover, where the monarch declared her music to be a “marvelous, heavenly pleasure.” That pleasure, however, has dark hues. Each of the romances is in three parts, the middles contrasting the frames. The harmonies in the core of the second Romance darken, and some of the long-breathed melodies falter as if threatened. These are character pieces, of contrasting moods and affects. The first is more about the violin than the piano, and the third more about the piano than the violin. The second strikes a balance. The content ranges from Roma (“gypsy”) pathos to merriment, festive exultation, to a final piece marked “Leidenschaftlich schnell” (passionate quickness).

Clara nurtured her husband’s talent, devoting herself to his career and to raising their family. She performed the same service for Brahms, both professionally—she was his muse—and personally, as he was a member of the Schumann household for many years. Clara influenced much of Brahms’s compositional career, and although today he is best known as an instrumental composer, she recognized his gift for vocal music. He shunned opera, but gained his first real fame as a composer of choral music based on romantic, religious, and patriotic texts. Among his most frequently performed chamber works are the first and third sonatas for violin and piano.

BRAHMS: SONATA NO. 3 IN D MINOR, OP. 108

friendsofchambermusic.com 5

Brahms’s Third Sonata, in D minor, has a tragic quality. It is cast in four movements that create extreme tension. The first begins, it seems, in medias res—mid-thought. The mood is dark, and the overall sense of musical drama extremely taut. Indeed, the middle development section of the first movement is reduced to a single pitch, obsessively repeated. The second movement, too, seems abbreviated, ending abruptly. Major turns to minor in the third movement, but the character is playfully deceptive. The finale plays a game of greater sophistication, lending the ear the impression of loose organization, expansiveness, with lyrical passages alternating with those that stammer and stutter. The genre is that of a tarantella, a presto dance. Brahms’s music in general prizes complex textures, ingenious development, and the kaleidoscopic interplay of musical gestures. The violin and the piano echo each other in subtle variation, as do the first and second themes, which borrow each other’s accompaniments, tempos, and harmonic groundings.

David Fulmer, trained as a violinist and a composer at Juilliard, came into prominence in 2010 following the rapturously received premiere of his Violin Concerto. There are emotional and expressive points of contact between Fulmer’s They Turned Their Channeled Faces to the Sky and works by Clara Schumann and Johannes Brahms. Brahms’s First Violin Sonata recycles music from a song that he composed about rain, which is meant to serve as a metaphor for childhood’s end. Fulmer drew comparable inspiration from a poem about rain by the Englishman James Fenton.

DAVID FULMER, THEY TURN THEIR CHANNELED FACES TO THE SKY

Program NotesContinued

The sweet rain falls on the seaFar from the land. They stretch a torn sail taut between torn handsTo fill the pail. They turn their channeled faces to the skyAnd the sweet rain runs in their eyesAnd on the channeled sea.

Fulmer here puts himself in line with a tradition of French modernist composers, from Claude Debussy to Olivier Messiaen, who found inspiration in nature, manipulating timbre and texture at different levels to suggest skies and seas of silver and grey. Fulmer himself describes the effects he sought to create in They Turned Their Channeled Faces to the Sky, a filigreed piece, just five minutes long. “The fleeting gestures of the violin—often including extended techniques of articulation and timbre, race rapidly through the entire range of the instrument, while the piano delicately traces over the contours,” the composer explains. “The primal sound of rain can be heard in both instruments as they explore percussive articulation as the work comes to a close.” There are onomatopoeic elements: the pattern of drops falling on sand is captured, along with the cries of gulls. And although there is no obvious human presence, the representation of the tide, and of the hollow imprints left in the sand, suggests the profound human experience of the transient, the ephemeral, of things that cannot last.

summer resort of Pörtschach am Wörhersee. There are three integrated movements, the first of which is in sonata form, in which contrasting melodic materials are subject to a process of growth and change in the middle before being reassembled. The German Romantic aesthetic of Sturm und Drang, storm and stress, suffuses the music, as does a sense of inwardness and introspection, perhaps the defining qualities of Brahms’s music. Perhaps befitting the environs of its composition, however, the overall impression of Brahms’s First Violin Sonata is of laid-back contentment. The second movement has a simpler three-part structure, and the finale is a rondo, in which a stable block of material (A) returns in between passages of contrasting melodic and harmonic character (B and C). The sonata overall is united by rhythmic gestures taken from two of Brahms’s songs: the first based on a poem about rain, the second extolling the sounds of night. The cleverness of the score resides in the rhythmic interplay, the cross-groupings, between the soloist and accompanist. The magic resides in the final measures, where minor spontaneously turns to major at the very last, sweeping care away.

MASTER CLASS WITH THE ARIEL QUARTETOn the morning of Thursday, November 10, students at the Denver School of the Arts (DSA) welcomed the Ariel Quartet to their school for a Master Class, sponsored by FCM.

Members of the quartet, Gershon Gerchikov (violin), Alexandra Kazovsky (violin), Jan Grüning (viola), and Amit Even-Tov (cello), offered a 90-minute coaching session for a DSA high school student quartet as they performed the first movement of Prokofiev’s String Quartet No. 1. Another 50 DSA middle and high school students had the opportunity to observe the Master Class as well as participate in a Q & A session following the class.

The following DSA musicians performed: Artur Korotin (violin); Landon Fennell (violin); Aana Rase (viola); and Dylan Tyree (cello). Artur Korotin, violin, also performed a solo work for the class, playing Paganini’s Caprice No. 20.

“This was a very inspiring event for our students,” commented Enrique Lasansky, Director of Orchestras at Denver School of the Arts. “The focus was on how musicians must go beyond the printed music in order to achieve a meaningful performance. Our musicians received many helpful ideas that will help them as they prepare for upcoming performances.”
