Welcome to this exciting night of music... and more! Here in Denver we are spoiled with so many great options for entertainment, and we are so thankful that you have chosen to spend your night with us.
At the Denver Phil, we do things just a tad differently from what
you may be used to. While we ask you to silence your phone,
we don’t ask you to put it away. In fact, we encourage you to
tweet along with us and to engage with other patrons while
you enjoy the music. We don’t ask you to hold your applause
until the end of a piece — if you feel moved by what you’ve just
heard, we welcome you to show your appreciation to our very
talented musicians. We also encourage interaction between
our patrons and our musicians. Please, feel free to introduce
yourself to your favorite players after the concert at our
reception on the lower level.
Most importantly, however, we want you to have a great
experience and to come back. Our musicians are extraordinarily
passionate about performing quality live music and our
volunteers have an equal passion for creating a meaningful and
unique experience. We think this excitement will be felt by all
that attend. Again, thank you very much for joining us tonight
— and we look forward to meeting you and seeing you over and
over again!

ELIZABETH MONTGOMERYSOPRANO
Elizabeth was born to sing. However early on in her life it did not appear that would happen. From birth to age 14, Elizabeth would have many bouts with an extremely serious lung illness, spending much of her childhood in hospitals.
These illnesses took so much of her breath away that she could
not even blow up a balloon… her doctors did not expect her
to live. Through fervent prayers of her family and people in
ministry, she experienced a miracle healing in her lungs which
enabled her to begin singing.
In her teenage years, she recorded her first album of Gospel
music. Since then she has released nine albums of Christian
music. Classically trained, she has performed in numerous op-
eras including Twelfth Night and Hansel and Gretel. Elizabeth
has concertized throughout the U.S. and Europe, with over
3,000 church and secular performances to her credit.
In 2009, she shared her ministry in El Salvador, singing before
thousands in churches, villages, and schools. In 2010 and 2011,
her Christmas CD was played in over 100 secondary country
radio markets in the U.S. One of the highlights of her career was
to be chosen to sing the national anthem for the Denver Broncos
before 75,000 people and a marching band of 350 musicians.
Originally from Vinita, Oklahoma, Elizabeth graduated from
Oklahoma City University in 1990 with a music/business admin-
istration degree. In 1992, she earned her Master’s degree in
Music from the University of Denver.

MARK STAMPERARTISTIC DIRECTOR, COLORADO REPERTORY SINGERS
Mark is excited to be starting his second season as the artistic director of the Colorado Repertory Singers. As a native of South Carolina, he began his piano study at the age of 3 and eventually expanded his musical interests to include choral music.
He received a Bachelor of Music degree in Piano Performance
from Winthrop University in 1986 where he studied with Dr.
Eugene Barban. In 1989, Mark was awarded a Master of
Music degree with a concentration in choral conducting from
Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas,
where he was the assistant conductor of the Oratorio Chorus.
Mark served on several Broadway productions as musical
director and accompanist. Among his favorites are Thoroughly
Modern Millie, The Sound of Music, Ragtime, and 42nd Street.
With conducting experience widespread among many genres
of music, Mark’s depth includes ballet, choral, opera, orchestral,
and musicals. During any given season, he will be conducting at
several venues as well accompanying numerous recitals.
He is an award-winning conductor and has held appointments
as associate artistic director with the Texas Boys Choir, artistic
director of The Women’s Chorus of Dallas, artistic director of The
Singing Girls of Texas, and principal accompanist of the Turtle
Creek Chorale. Mark is currently the music director for the the-
ater program at Metropolitan State University, director of music/
worship at Applewood Valley United Methodist Church, and the
artistic director of the Northland Chorale.

We may be one of Denver’s oldest orchestras, but we certainly don’t act our age.
Dr. Antonia Brico, the first woman to con-
duct the Berlin and New York Philharmonic
Orchestras, founded our organization
in 1948 as the Denver Businessmen’s
Orchestra. Antonia settled in Denver
after conducting professional orchestras
across Europe and the U.S. She debuted
our orchestra to a packed auditorium
explaining the need for a classical music
venue to showcase the talents of local,
classically trained musicians “with no place
to play.” Twenty years later, we’d be known
as the Brico Symphony, and Antonia would
remain at the helm of the orchestra until
her retirement in the mid-1980s.
After nearly 40 years under Antonia’s
baton, the orchestra chose Russian-
American conductor Julius Glaihengauz
as its second music director. A graduate of
the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow,
Julius led the newly renamed Centennial
Philharmonic for 11 seasons.
In 1999, Professor of Music at the
University of Denver Dr. Horst Buchholz
took the baton. Our most recent name
change came in 2004, and we became
the Denver Philharmonic Orchestra. Horst
served as music director and conductor
through 2009, after which he was ap-
pointed the orchestra’s first Conductor
Laureate.
Adam Flatt came onboard as music
director in June 2010. Adam’s dynamic
and inspiring leadership over the next
three years continued Horst’s legacy and
further increased the artistic quality of the
orchestra.
We selected award-winning conductor
Dr. Lawrence Golan as our conductor and
music director when Adam left in 2013.
Lawrence, a professor and music director
at the University of Denver’s Lamont
School of Music, continues to produce
innovative and quality programming,
delighting musicians and audiences alike.
And while we have a 67-year history in
Denver, our mission is to continually rede-
fine the way our community experiences
and engages with classical music.

DECEMBER 20 ∙ HOLIDAY CHEER!by LEIGH TOWNSEND
MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS”JOHN WILLIAMS b. 1932John Williams is best known for his
action-packed movie soundtracks such
as Star Wars and Jurassic Park, but this
selection from Home Alone captures the
simpler, yet joyful exuberance of a family
reunited at the holidays. Although written
in 1997, it will remind many listeners of
Williams’ more recent work on the Harry
Potter films.

FESTIVE SOUNDS OF HANUKKAHARR. BY BILL HOLCOMBE (1924–2010)Bill Holcombe was a piccolo player. How
often do you get to read that in program
notes? Most composers begin their
careers as performing musicians until they
can “make it big” as a composer; but
Holcombe led a double life in New York
City. He composed and arranged by day
and performed each night in Broadway
musicals, and he even toured with the
Tommy Dorsey Band! His Festive Sounds
of Hanukah is an animated collection,
including snippets from Rock of Ages,
Who Can Retell, Hanukah Hanukah,
My Dreidel, S’Vivon, and Hanukah oh
Hanukah.
Run time: 6 minutes
IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAREDDIE POLA & GEORGE WYLEThis popular Christmas tune was written
and recorded in 1963. Andy Williams re-
leased it on his album The Andy Williams
Christmas Album, but decided against
releasing it as a single. The innocence of
‘kids jingle-belling’ and of ‘marshmallows
for toasting’ was at odds with the heart-
break and chaos of American politics;
it had only been a few weeks since the
assassination of JFK and most Americans
would probably disagree with the instant-
ly old-fashioned sentimentality. Decades
later, the song glorifies a simpler idea,
a nostalgic time when friends and loved
“

time of the year.

WALTZ OF THE FLOWERS” FROM THE NUTCRACKERPYOTR ILYICH TCHAIKOVSKY (1840–1893)Words like ‘famous’ or ‘legendary’ fall short
in description of certain works of art, so far
and complete are their reach. Tchaikovsky’s
ballet Nutcracker was just such a creation.
Like Handel’s Messiah, it has long enjoyed a
place of de facto holiday tradition through-
out the Western world.
Nutcracker was based on the Alexandre
Dumas translation of a Hoffmann tale, in
which a little girl comes to the aid of her
Christmas gift (a magical nutcracker in the
costume of a soldier) in his battle with an
army of mice. Her assistance is rewarded
when her toy transforms into a prince and
takes her into his kingdom of sweets and
other colorful delights. The subjects of the
kingdom each dance for their guest in a
series of amazing set pieces that comprise
some of the most gorgeously evocative
music Tchaikovsky ever wrote. The “Waltz

WINTER” FROM THE FOUR SEASONSANTONIO VIVALDI (1678–1741)Antonio Vivaldi was the most influential
Italian composer of his time. Under his
hand, the mature Baroque concerto came
to full fruition. Opus 8 (1745), titled Il
cimento dell’armonica e dell’inventione
translates as “daring experiments with
harmony and invention.” It is a set of
twelve concerti, of which the Seasons are
represented in the first four. The works are
considered early program music, which
means they are supposed to evoke a
feeling of extra-musical narrative through
sound. Vivaldi set each season to a sonnet-
to dimonstrativo, or illustrative sonnet.
Although there is no definitive proof
Vivaldi wrote the sonnets himself, it is
widely acknowledged that he did write
the poetry and then set the music. Winter
clearly conjures up images of a frozen and
brittle landscape in the first movement.
The second movement is more contempla-
tive, sitting by the fire and listening to the
rain outside. The final movement builds in
intensity as the subject first walks cautious-
ly on the ice, then runs and slips when the
ice cracks underneath. The final line of the
poem reinforces the joy of winter, depicted
musically in the final effervescent flourishes
of the violin.

HALLELUJAH CHORUS” FROM THE MESSIAHGEORGE FRIDERIC HANDEL(1686–1759)George Frideric Handel was one of those
lucky composers who was famous in his
own lifetime. Although born in Germany
and trained in Italy, he is most famously
known as an English composer. The
Messiah is a sacred oratorio, a kind of
religious opera. Unsurprisingly, the text is
biblical, a mix of Old and New Testament.
The “Hallelujah Chorus” is the final
selection from part two of the work. Since
you may already be familiar with this,
try listening for something new tonight.
Listen to how Handel accentuates the
word “hallelujah” in three different ways,
emphasizing a different syllable at each
restatement. A trinity of praise, if you will,
from a very clever composer.
Run time: 4 minutes
SLEIGH RIDELEROY ANDERSON (1908–1975)Leroy Anderson was an American
composer with a sense of humor (have
you heard his piece for typewriter?). His
upbeat and playful compositions were
directly at odds with his very serious career
in the U.S. Counter Intelligence Corps
and the Pentagon during the late 1940s.
Sleigh Ride was completed in 1948 and
premiered in 1949 by the Boston Pops, led
by Arthur Fiedler. According to the com-
poser’s widow Eleanor Anderson, “Leroy
didn’t set out to write a Christmas piece
when he wrote ‘Sleigh Ride.’ His intentions
were to convey the entire winter season
through the imagery of a sleigh ride,
much in the way that Mozart did with his
piece of the same name.” No matter what
his original intentions, Sleigh Ride is the
quintessential holiday music, right down to
the last whinny.

THE CHRISTMAS SONGMEL TORMÉ & ROBERT WELLS (TORMÉ 1925–1999)(WELLS 1922–1998)Commonly subtitled Chestnuts Roasting
on an Open Fire, this smooth and silky bal-
lad was written by Mel Tormé in the middle
of the incredibly hot summer of 1944. The
Nat King Cole Trio first recorded it in 1946,
and his 1961 version, recorded with full
orchestra, is now generally regarded as the
definitive version.
Run time: 4:30 minutes
OH HOLY NIGHTADOLPHE-CHARLES ADAMComposed in 1847, this French sacred
carol is also known as “Cantique de
Noël.” The original text is a poem by wine
merchant Placide Cappeau, although the
English text that is heard here tonight is
by Unitarian minister John Sullivan Dwight,
from 1855. The literal translation of the
poem is a bit harsh; the wrath of God and
His deliverance are the main message.
Dwight’s text is still about redemption and
rejoicing, but the language is a softer and
more hopeful.
Run time: 5:30 minutes
After tonight’s concert, join us at

A HOLLY JOLLY SING-ALONG!ARR. BY JAMES STEPHENSONb. 1969Have you been holding back? We happily
invite you to please sing along with us!
Run time: 11 minutes
DECK THE HALLDeck the hall with boughs of holly,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
’Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la.
Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
See the blazing Yule before us,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
Strike the harp and join the chorus,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
Follow me in merry measure,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
While I tell of Yule-tide treasure,
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.
JINGLE BELLS Dashing through the snow,
In a one horse open sleigh,
O’er the fields we go,Laughing all the way.
Bells on bob tail ring,
Making spirits bright,
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight.
CHORUS:
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh!
3 5
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh!
A day or two ago,
I thought I’d take a ride,
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side.
The horse was lean and lank,
Misfortune seemed his lot.
We got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot.
CHORUS:
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride

Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
Oh, what fun it is to ride In
a one horse open sleigh!
REPEAT CHORUS
THE HOLLY AND THE IVY The holly and the ivy,
When they are both full grown,
Of all the trees that are in the wood,
The holly bears the crown.
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer,
The playing of the merry organ,
Sweet singing in the choir.
JOLLY OLD SAINT NICHOLASJolly Old Saint Nicholas,
Lean your ear this way;
Don’t you tell a single soul,
What I’m going to say
Christmas Eve is coming soon;
Now you dear old man,
Whisper what you’ll bring to me;
Tell me if you can.
When the clock is striking twelve;
When I’m fast asleep,
Down the chimney broad and black,
With your pack you’ll creep;
All the stockings you will find
Hanging in a row;
Mine will be the shortest one,
You’ll be sure to know.
Johnny wants a pair of skates,
Susie wants a sled
Nelly wants a storybook –
one she hasn’t read
as for me i hardly know
so I’ll go to rest
Choose for me, dear Santa Claus,
What you think is best.
FROSTY THE SNOWMANFrosty the Snowman
Was a jolly, happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal.
Frosty the Snowman
Is a fairytale they say.
He was made of snow,
But the children know
How he came to life one day.
3 7
There must have been some magic
In that old silk hat they found,
For when they placed it on his head,
He began to dance around. Oh,
Frosty the Snowman
Had to hurry on his way,
But he waved goodbye
Saying don’t you cry,
I’ll be back again some day.
Thumpety thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
Look at Frosty go.
Thumpety thump thump,
Thumpety thump thump,
Over the hills of snow.
UP ON THE HOUSETOP Up on the housetop reindeer pause,
Out jumps good old Santa Claus.
Down through the chimney with lots of toys.
All for the little ones, Christmas joys.
Ho, ho ho!
Who wouldn’t go?
Ho, ho ho!
Who wouldn’t go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click,
Down through the chimney with old
Saint Nick.
RUDOLPH, THE RED-NOSED REINDEER Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names,
They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say:
“Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”
Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you’ll go down in history!
JOY TO THE WORLD!Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King;
Let ev'ry heart
prepare him room,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.
Joy to the Earth! the Saviour reigns;
Let men their songs employ;

A FEW RULES
4 1
CONCERT ETIQUETT E
BE COMFORTABLEThere’s no dress code. From jeans to
suits, you’ll see it all! Wear what you’d
like — you’ll fit in. We love you just the
way you are.
COUGHINGAhem… Try to ‘bury’ your cough in a loud
passage of music. If you can’t, or you
begin to cough a lot, don’t worry — it’s
perfectly acceptable and appropriate to
quietly exit the concert hall. Remember to
unwrap cough drops before the concert so
you don’t create crackling noises.
CRY ROOMChild feelin’ fidgety? We have a designat-
ed cry room at the back of the hall on the
right side of the lower level (as you enter
the hall). The room is marked with a sign.
APPLAUSE 101Many concertgoers are confused about
when to clap during an orchestra’s perfor-
mance. Before the mid-19th century, au-
diences would routinely applaud between
movements to show their joy for the mu-
sic they just heard. Around the mid-19th
century, it became tradition in Germany
for audiences to wait until the end of the
piece to clap, sitting silently between
movements. That tradition spread and is
now commonly accepted and taught.
At the DPO, we welcome both traditions.
If you prefer to wait for the end of a piece,
that is fine. If you want to respectfully
show your appreciation between move-
ments, we welcome that too. Regardless,
we want you to feel comfortable and
focus on the performance, not confusing
applause rules!
If you are attending your first classical music concert, below are some frequently asked questions to help make your experience more enjoyable.

ORCHESTRA SPOTLIG HT
NAFTARI BURNSCELLOFIFTH DPO SEASON. Naftari started play-
ing piano at age 6, and picked up the cello
at age 9. When she first started playing
the cello, she had no idea what it was and
had to ask the kid next to her. Though her
first choice was the violin, Naftari brought
home a cello and her mother asked, “Why
couldn’t you get a smaller instrument?” She
has played with the Metro State Symphony
and with the Jefferson Symphony under
William Morse. She works at Kolacny Music
where she sells and services band and
orchestra instruments and harps. Naftari
attended Metropolitan State College of
Denver for a degree in music performance.
MIKI HEINESECOND VIOLINTHIRD DPO SEASON. Miki was lucky
enough to play in the Front Range
Youth Symphony and Colorado Youth
Symphony Orchestras in high school and
now has been playing violin for 15 years.
Since high school, Miki attended St. Olaf
College and the University of Northern
Colorado; at St. Olaf, she played with the
St. Olaf College Orchestra which toured
the U.S. and Spain. Outside of the DPO,
Miki is earning her Music Education
degree at Metro State to become a high
school orchestra director. She works as a
server at Cinzzetti’s Italian Style Market
Place and enjoys running, hiking, camp-
ing, reading, crocheting, hanging out
with her cat Cici, and going to concerts
— electronic music, bluegrass, and jam
bands are a few favorites. Though violin
is the only instrument she plays, she can
play a mean “Wagon Wheel” on guitar!
Who are the hard-working men and women behind those music stands? Get to know your orchestra! Each concert, we spotlight a few of our talented musicians here in the program. Tonight, meet Naftari, Miki, Kelli and Tyler —

her Bachelor of Music from Hastings
College in Nebraska. She’s been playing
the French horn for more than 20 years, is
a member of the Gossamer Wind Quintet
and plays the piano. Kelli is a fundraiser
for the Dumb Friends League. Outside of
work and the DPO, Kelli spends as much
time as possible with her two beautiful
young daughters and husband. They listen
to a lot of music together, read books and
take lots of walks to the park.
TYLER VAN DAMTRUMPETSECOND DPO SEASON. Tyler has been
playing trumpet for 17 years. She has
had the great fortune of performing with
the Blue Knights Drum and Bugle Corps
from Denver, the Santa Clara Vanguard
Drum and Bugle Corps from Santa
Clara, California, with the Musica Sacra
Chamber Orchestra, Littleton Symphony
Orchestra, Jefferson County Symphony
Orchestra, and the Colorado Wind
Ensemble.
Aside from being a full-time student, Tyler
works at Starbucks and assists area high
school marching bands in the summer
and fall. She enjoys spending as much
time as she can in the mountains — be it
driving, hiking, or photographing. She is
also active in the community supporting
transgender rights and equality. After
studying trumpet for three years at
University of Colorado, she studied at
Metropolitan State University and will
graduate with a Music Performance de-
gree and a minor in architecture.
