Welcome to the 2013-2014 Season of the National Philharmonic! Welcome to the National Philharmonic 2013-2014 season at the Music Center at Strathmore, which includes some of my favorite collaborators: superstar violinist Sarah Chang performing Antonio Vivaldi’s Four Seasons; cellist Zuill Bailey with the complete cello works of Robert Schumann; and, of course, pianist Brian Ganz, continuing his cycle of music by Fryderyk Chopin. The season opens with the monumental Beethoven Symphony No. 5 and continues with the great music of Bach, Dvor˘ák, Mozart, Schubert and many others. As is now our custom, throughout the season, the National Philharmonic points to several important anniversaries, including the 150th birthday celebration of the great German composer Richard Strauss. The 200th birthday of Italy’s Giuseppe Verdi is marked with the performance of his great Requiem, featuring the National Philharmonic Chorale under its Artistic Director Stan Engebretson. On November 9, 2013, the National Philharmonic joins the world in commemorating the 75th anniversary of Kristallnacht with a concert performance of a new opera, Lost Childhood, by American composer Janice Hamer, which explores one boy’s struggle to survive the horrors of the Holocaust — a most compelling drama, not to be missed. Please join me for the 2013-2014 season. I look forward to seeing you at the concerts!

The National Philharmonic Presents Lost Childhood: A Concert Opera Michael Hendrick (as Judah), tenor Christopher Trakas (as Manfred), baritone Piotr Gajewski, conductor Music by Janice Hamer Libretto by Mary Azrael The year is 1939 in Lvov, Poland. In the living room of a well-to-do Jewish family, Julek, 9, and his teenage sister dance the tango to music from the radio. Their father enters and turns to the BBC broadcast to hear news of impending war. Fast-forward to 1993, an elegant bar in a Manhattan hotel, where Judah, a psychiatrist (formerly the child Julek), sits across from his German colleague, Manfred, born after the war to a prominent family of Nazi sympathizers. In a gripping confrontation between a post-war German and a Jewish Holocaust survivor, each deeply troubled by his own lost childhood, the past comes alive in the present. Through a series of flashbacks, Manfred, tormented, faces his family’s dark past, while Judah reveals for the first time, with bravado and humor, anger and grief, how he, his mother and sister outwitted the Third Reich. With searing emotion and heartwarming lyricism, the music recollects the terrors of the Holocaust and inspires a hopeful vision of the future. Judah is based on Yehuda Nir, a psychiatrist and the author of the memoir The Lost Childhood. The inspiration for Manfred is Nir’s friend Gottfried Wagner, a greatgrandson of Richard Wagner and a specialist in post-Holocaust dialogue between victims, perpetrators and their descendants. Hamer Lost Childhood This performance marks the 75th anniversary of Kristallnacht (“The Night of Broken Glass”), on November 9-10, 1938, when a series of violent anti-Jewish pogroms occurred throughout Germany and elsewhere.

This choral tour de force will feature two recent winners of the Metropolitan Opera National Council auditions—mezzo-soprano Margaret Mezzacappa and tenor William Davenport.

Brian Ganz Chopin Project Saturday, February 22, 2014 Chopin, the Storyteller Explore Chopin’s compelling works for the piano with Brian Ganz, who returns by popular demand with his fourth Chopin recital in his journey to perform all of the composer’s works. This concert features Chopin’s masterpiece of narrative and emotional power, the Ballade No. 4 in F minor, Op. 52; the Mazurka in A minor, Op. 17, No. 4, one of his most soulful and mysterious works; the epic Nocturne in C minor, Op. 48, No. 1; the tender and storied Waltz in A-flat Major, Op. 69, No. 1 (“L’Adieu”); as well as the highly dramatic Prelude in C-sharp minor, Op. 45.

The pianist has explored the nocturnes, the etudes, the sonatas and concertos and the rest in concerts, master classes and recordings for years now. His delight and wonder in this music seem to grow, apparently without bounds, as time goes on.” (The Washington Post) Chopin

Saturday, May 17, 2014 Sunday, May 18, 2014 Sarah Chang Plays Vivaldi’s Four Seasons Sarah Chang, violin Piotr Gajewski, conductor Violinist Sarah Chang, recognized worldwide as one of classical music’s most captivating and gifted performers, plays Vivaldi’s most popular work, The Four Seasons, a set of four short violin concertos written around 1723. The concertos each depict a season and are filled with dazzling effects mimicking natural phenomena such as storms, wind, thunder and rain, as well as bird calls. Ms. Chang’s 2007 CD of the Seasons attracted international commendation, with BBC Music Magazine stating, “She has never made a finer recording.” Strauss wrote the adagio for strings, Metamorphosen, during the closing days of World War II as an elegy for the destruction of Munich, including the historic National Theatre opera house.

Saturday, May 31, 2014 Strauss Masterpieces Thomas Pandolfi, piano National Philharmonic Chorale Piotr Gajewski, conductor On the 150th anniversary of the birth of Strauss, enjoy exploring four of his masterpieces. Don Juan, a tone poem for large orchestra, features impassioned love themes reflecting the romance Strauss was experiencing with his future wife. Written when Strauss was 21, the Burlesque for piano and orchestra, brilliantly virtuosic and fiendishly difficult, is a burst of youthful exhilaration, full of confident high spirits and vitality. Strauss’s Wanderers Sturmlied, written in 1884, for chorus and orchestra, was influenced by the Romantic composer Brahms. Death and Transfiguration, a tone poem for large orchestra, completed in 1889, depicts a dying artist as he reflects on his innocent childhood, the struggles and successes of his adulthood and finally, his longed-for transfiguration.
