LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends, Your Oregon Symphony’s concerts this May are among the highlights of the 2018/2019 Season. On May 2, powerhouse vocalist Brody Dolyniuk performs iconic hits in The Music of The Rolling Stones. On May 4, the orchestra performs alongside our sixth and final film of the year, the multiple Academy Award-winning Amadeus. Our three-concert series SoundStories concludes this month with Edvard Grieg’s Peer Gynt. Our production features the fantastical artwork of Alexander Polzin visually enhancing the musical storytelling (May 11–13). We mark the finale of the Classical Series with Mahler’s Symphony No. 1, “Titan,” on a program that features Storm Large singing Kurt Weill’s Seven Deadly Sins (May 18–20). Finally, the best-selling r&b group of all time, Boyz II Men, joins your Oregon Symphony for a soulful performance to close out the season (May 22). Our musicians are active off stage as well, with Classical Up Close pop-up concerts continuing at metro-area churches, community centers, and libraries throughout the first week of May. Elsewhere, our woodwind quartet visits the Yamhill Carlton School District to present a Woodwind Informance – an informational performance – introducing kids to the music, sounds, and mechanics of clarinets, flutes, oboes, and bassoons. We have much to celebrate as we close the 2018/2019 Season, including the talent and dedication of our orchestra. At our final Classical Series concert, Maestro Kalmar will recognize from the stage those musicians reaching milestones in their tenure with Oregon Symphony. We also applaud you, our patrons and donors, whose presence makes our work meaningful.
SHARE YOUR STORY WITH #SOUNDSTORIES As part of this season’s theme of SoundStories, we’re collecting stories from you, our audience, about how music has impacted your life. We want to know about the first time you heard the Oregon Symphony, about your favorite musical memories from your childhood, and more. Share your story using the hashtag #SoundStories. @OregonSymphony
Thank you for joining us, and for your ongoing support. Enjoy your concert here today, and the summer months ahead. We’ll see you again in September.”

CONDUCTORS Carlos Kalmar Jean Vollum music director chair
Carlos Kalmar is in his 16th season as music director of the Oregon Symphony. He is also the artistic director and principal conductor of the Grant Park Music Festival in Chicago. In May 2011, he made his New York debut at Carnegie Hall with the Oregon Symphony as part of the inaugural Spring for Music festival. Both his imaginative program, Music for a Time of War, and the performance itself were hailed by critics in The New York Times, New Yorker magazine, and Musical America, and the concert was recorded and released on the Pentatone label, subsequently earning two Grammy nominations (Best Orchestral Performance and Best Engineered). Under Kalmar’s guidance the orchestra has recorded subsequent cds on the PentaTone label – This England, featuring works by Britten, Vaughan Williams, and Elgar; The Spirit of the American Range, with works by Copland, Piston, and Antheil, which received another Best Orchestral Performance Grammy nomination; and Haydn Symphonies. New Yorker magazine critic Alex Ross called the Oregon Symphony’s Carnegie Hall performance under Kalmar “the highlight of the festival and one of the most gripping events of the current season.” That verdict was echoed by Sedgwick Clark, writing for Musical America, who described the performance of Vaughan Williams’ Fourth Symphony as “positively searing… with fearless edge-of-seat tempos… breathtakingly negotiated by all…” A regular guest conductor with major orchestras in America, Europe, and Asia, Kalmar recently made his subscription series debuts with three of America’s most prestigious orchestras: those of Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco. Past engagements have seen him on the podium with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Minnesota Orchestra, and the New World Symphony, as well as the orchestras of Baltimore, Cincinnati, Dallas, Houston, Milwaukee, Nashville, Seattle, and St. Louis. Kalmar, born in Uruguay to Austrian parents, showed an early interest in music and began violin studies at the age of 6. By the time he was 15, his musical promise was such that his family moved back to Austria in order for him to study conducting with Karl Osterreicher at the Vienna Academy of Music. He has previously served as the chief conductor and artistic director of the Spanish Radio/Television Orchestra and Choir in Madrid as well as the music director for the Hamburg Symphony, the Stuttgart Philharmonic, Vienna’s Tonnkunsterorchester, and the Anhaltisches Theater in Dessau, Germany. He lives in Portland with his wife, Raffaela, and sons, Luca and Claudio.
Norman Huynh Harold and Arlene Schnitzer associate conductor chair
Now in his third season as Oregon Symphony associate conductor, Norman Huynh was selected from a field of over 100 candidates from around the world for his exceptional conducting technique, his passion for a wide-ranging repertoire, and his unique ability to communicate with an audience. The recipient of the 2015 Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy Scholarship, he previously conducted the St. Louis, City of Birmingham (uk), Baltimore, Toledo, Charlotte, and Virginia symphonies, and the Peabody Symphony Orchestra. He made his international conducting debut with the Princess Galyani Vadhana Youth Orchestra in Bangkok, Thailand, and has also conducted the Leipzig Symphony. He previously served as assistant conductor for the Spoleto Festival usa, the Portland Symphony Orchestra in Maine, Opera Carolina, the Lyric Opera of Baltimore, the Peabody Opera Theatre, and The Peabody Singers. Huynh co-founded the Occasional Symphony, an organization that presents innovative programs that resonate with eclectic venues throughout the city of Baltimore. He studied orchestral conducting at the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University, working with Gustav Meier, Markand Thakar, and Marin Alsop. For backstage stories, follow Huynh on Instagram @normanconductor. Jeff Tyzik principal pops conductor
Jeff Tyzik has earned a reputation as one of America’s foremost pops conductors and is recognized for his brilliant arrangements, original programming, and rapport with audiences. Now in his 25th season as principal pops conductor of the Rochester Philharmonic, Tyzik is also in his 12th season as the Oregon Symphony’s principal pops conductor and continues to serve in the same role with the Seattle Symphony, Detroit Symphony, Florida Orchestra, and Canada’s Vancouver Symphony. Tyzik is also highly sought after as a guest conductor across North America. He holds bachelor of music and master of music degrees from the Eastman School of Music. He lives in Rochester, New York, with his wife, Jill. orsymphony.org | 503-228-1353

Havens is arranger/guest conductor for symphonic rock programs including The Music of Led Zeppelin, The Music of Pink Floyd, The Music of Queen, and The Music of Michael Jackson. He also premiered a full orchestral show for Lou Gramm, The Voice of Foreigner, with Lou singing out front.
Brent Havens Berklee-trained arranger/conductor Brent Havens has written music for orchestras, feature films, and virtually every kind of television. His tv work includes movies for networks such as abc, cbs, and abc Family; commercials; sports music for networks such as espn; and even cartoons. Havens has also worked with the Doobie Brothers and the Milwaukee Symphony, arranging and conducting the combined group for Harley Davidson’s 100th Anniversary Birthday Party Finale.

Brody Dolyniuk Brody Dolyniuk remembers mimicking voices even as a child, listening to old records and tapes. He is a gifted, selftaught musician, capable of playing several instruments, with a particular knack for capturing the voices and mannerisms of classic characters from music, tv, and movies. His first professional gigs were at piano bars in several U.S. cities, where he learned to charm audiences and expand his musical repertoire. With a longing to perform the music of the
many rock bands that inspired him, Dolyniuk assembled Yellow Brick Road, unquestionably Las Vegas’ most successful classic rock band. Since 1997, ybr has been reshaping the casino entertainment scene by bringing a rock concert atmosphere to showrooms previously reserved for Top 40-style lounge acts. Along the way, Dolyniuk has made numerous radio and tv appearances, earned a spot in the finals of two national singing competitions, and even self-produced several large rock production-style shows utilizing multimedia, lasers, comedy, and special effects. In 2007, Dolyniuk lent his vocal talents to several tracks on the megahit video game Guitar Hero iii: Legends of Rock, and he has already done several more for the new Konami game Rock Revolution. Dolyniuk joined Windborne Music in 2009 as vocalist for The Music of Queen show, but has proven to be versatile enough to become the lead for The Rolling Stones, The Who, U2, Journey, and Elton John shows. As a devout classic rock fan, Dolyniuk’s enthusiasm, vocal ability and on-stage energy continue to win over audiences around the globe.

PEER GYNT Biographies
Jane Archibald With this concert, Jane Archibald makes her debut with the Oregon Symphony. Archibald’s career trajectory has taken her from Canada to San Francisco to the Vienna State Opera and major opera houses on both continents. Her artistry has generated excitement across Europe and North America, with recent engagements including Lucia and Konstanze in Zurich; Adele and Ophélie at the Met; Olympia, Zerbinetta and Cleopatra at the Paris National Opera; Sophie at La Scala Milan and in Berlin; Zerbinetta at Baden-Baden Festspielhaus, Covent Garden, and in Munich; and Semele at the Canadian Opera Company. After beginning her professional opera career in her native Canada, Archibald was an Adler Fellow and Merola participant with the San Francisco Opera. She then moved to the Vienna State Opera as a member of the ensemble, debuting many coloratura roles. The 2017/18 Season saw Archibald performing frequently with the Canadian Opera Company as their first-ever artistin-residence, singing the roles of Zdenka in Arabella, Konstanze in Die Entführung aus dem Serail, and the title role in The Nightingale and Other Short Fables. The 2018/19 Season will find Archibald performing as Le Feu, La Princesse, and Le Rossignol in L’enfant et les sortilèges at the bbc Proms and Lucerne Festival under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle. She will make her role debuts as Mathilde in Theater an der Wien’s production of William Tell, as Cunégonde in Candide with both the London Symphony Orchestra and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, and as the title role in Oper Frankfurt’s Daphne. She will also 18 artslandia.com
give numerous concert performances including in Bach’s St. Matthew Passion with the National Orchestra of Lyon and Mozart’s Great Mass in C Minor with Symphony Nova Scotia. Archibald has featured on multiple recordings and dvds. Her first solo cd, a program of Haydn coloratura arias, was released on the atma Classique label and won a juno Award for Classical Album of the Year. A newly released recording of Die Entführung aus dem Serail (June 2016) with conductor Jéremie Rhorer, is receiving rave reviews, as is her recording of Messiaen’s Poèmes pour Mi with Ludovic Morlot and the Seattle Symphony. Archibald lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia, with her husband, tenor Kurt Streit, and their two children.
Alexander Polzin Alexander Polzin originally trained as a stonemason. He launched his international career as a sculptor, painter, and stage designer in 1991, building on the success of his first exhibition in Berlin’s Kulturhaus Pankow four years earlier. In 1994, Polzin was invited by Dr. Gary Smith, founding director of the recently established Einstein Forum in Potsdam, to present the first exhibition of solo work at the Institute: Arbeiten im Einstein Forum. Polzin’s series of paintings, Monster, appeared in a collection of images and essays edited by the pioneering American cultural historian Sander Gilman, published in 1995. The following year, Polzin became artist-in-residence at the International Artists House in Herzliya, Israel, an appointment marked by the creation of the towering granite sculpture, Der Steinhändler. He has held residencies at eth Zurich (1998); Montalvo Arts Center in Saratoga, California (2004); and the
Center for Advanced Study at the Käte Hamburger Collegium for Research in the Humanities in Bonn (2010/11). Polzin’s sculptures and paintings can be seen today in public spaces and galleries across the world in cities such as Berlin, Bucharest, Jerusalem, New York, Los Angeles, and Paris. Major exhibitions of his work have been presented at the Getty Center, Los Angeles (2000); Berlin’s Institute of Advanced Studies (2004); Bard College, New York (2006); San Francisco International Arts Festival (2008); and Teatro Real, Madrid (2011). In January 2015, solo exhibitions of his work were shown at Grand Théâtre de Genève to coincide with his designs for Iphigénie en Tauride. An exhibition of his work focused around his friendship with György Kurtág was featured at the Aldeburgh Festival in June 2016. In his speech about Polzin’s exhibition The Age of Anxiety, the Nobel Prizewinning author Imre Kertész described the artist’s 99 intimate depictions of fear as a “good framework to overcome, at least in our minds, the Age of Anxiety which showed its terrible face… on 11 September 2001.” Others have written of the fear-defeating qualities and of the struggle between transcendence and immanence in Polzin’s art. Polzin has worked extensively as a stage designer for dance, opera, and theater. His designs have been created for, among others, the Teatro Real Madrid (Pilar Jurado, La página en blanco, 2011; The Conquest of Mexico, 2013; and Lohengrin, February 2014), Salzburg Easter Festival, and Beijing Music Festival (Parsifal, 2013). Polzin’s pictorial representation of Bernstein’s Symphony No. 2, “The Age of Anxiety,” for Aarhus Symphony Orchestra and the visualization of Grieg’s Peer Gynt for Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra were premiered in 2014. He made his directing debut at the Tyrolian Festival Erl with Fidelio also in 2014. La Monnaie / De Munt closed their 2017/18 Season with Verdi’s Aida, featuring set designs by Polzin. He will return to Brussels at the end of the 2018/19 Season to design a new production of Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde.

The day before Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart conducted the premiere of Don Giovanni, he hurriedly jotted down individual orchestral parts for the overture. According to several biographical accounts, the overture was finished – Mozart usually composed in his head before he wrote anything down – but, as was often his habit, Mozart did not commit it to paper until the last possible moment. When he led the orchestra in Prague’s Estates Theatre on October 29, 1787, Mozart conducted from memory. Don Giovanni, Mozart’s second of three collaborations with the brilliant librettist Lorenzo da Ponte, tells the story of Don Juan, the world’s most famous seducer of women (legend credits him with more than 2,000 conquests). After the Don tries his luck with the noblewoman Donna Anna, her father, the Commendatore, challenges him to a duel; the Don subsequently kills him. In the opera’s final moments, the Commendatore’s ghost, in the form of a stone statue, returns to cast Don Juan into the eternal flames of Hell. The overture’s slow introduction begins with two portentous D minor chords announcing the ghost’s arrival in the Don’s sumptuous villa. Ascending and descending scales plus formidable brass writing combine to foreshadow the opera’s powerful conclusion. Mozart contrasts this fateful beginning with an up-tempo

composed: 1939
instrumentation: Soprano soloist and string orchestra estimated duration: 23 minutes The strong parallels between the lives of English composer Benjamin Britten and French poet Arthur Rimbaud enhance the joining of Britten’s music with Rimbaud’s rapturous prose poems. Rimbaud wrote the 42 poems later collected as Les illuminations between 1873 and 1875. The texts Britten set were composed while Rimbaud sojourned in London with his fellow poet and lover, Paul Verlaine. The texts have been compared to a travelogue, sparkling with the intensity of things and people glimpsed for the first time, the thrill of discovering new places, and the joy of sharing new experiences with a loved one. In a letter to soprano Sophie Wyss, who premiered the work in London on January 30, 1940, Britten described Les illuminations as “the visions of heaven that were allowed the poet, and I hope the composer.” The cycle is organized, both thematically and musically, around a recurring line from one poem: “J’ai seul la clef de cette parade sauvage” (“I alone have the key to this wild parade”). The soloist first declaims it with confident pride, but each time it returns, set with slight musical variations, its meaning shifts, perhaps suggesting that the key to the “wild parade,” i.e., life, can often elude one’s grasp.

PEER GYNT When setting texts, Britten tended towards the numinous and obscure. Rimbaud’s abstract language provided an overall freedom, which fired his musical imagination, as well as an array of colorful images that lent themselves to dramatic musical treatments. English tenor Ian Bostridge, who recorded Les illuminations in 2005 for emi Classics, concurs: “Britten’s use of French functions as a sort of theatrical mask. The role-playing it permits opens up a realm of freedom and fantasy which expands into and beyond Rimbaud’s linguistic virtuosity… Britten’s choice of Rimbaud is striking in so many ways: the overt homoeroticism; the identification with the predicament of the exile, Britten in (or close by) New York, Rimbaud in London, both cities evoked in ‘Villes’ in all their excitement and horror…” Britten provided performance notes for Wyss, which have become invaluable clues to discerning the composer’s attitude towards his work. Regarding Villes, Britten wrote, “This poem, I believe, was written in London and certainly is a very good impression of the chaotic modern city life… I want it sung in a metallic and relentless fashion with the exclamation: ‘Ce sont des villes!’ somewhat sarcastically sung.” About Royalty, Britten said “[it is] pompous and satirical. The idea merely is that, given the right circumstances, it is in the power of anyone, however humble, to imagine himself King or God, whichever you prefer.” Referring to Parade, Britten again wrote to Wyss, “Parade you will enjoy, because it is a picture of the underworld. It should be made to sound creepy, evil, dirty (apologies!), and really desperate.” Two songs reveal personal relationships in Britten’s past and present. Antique, celebrating the “Gracious child of Pan,” is dedicated “to K.H.W.S.” (Wulff Scherchen), a 14-year-old boy Britten met when the composer was 21. The arpeggiated accompaniment for this song, in which the players strum their instruments like guitars, evokes the sound of an intimate serenade. Being Beauteous is dedicated “to P.N.L.P.”

(Peter Pears), Britten’s lifelong partner. Its simple declamatory style highlights the sensuous lyrics, especially “circles of muffled music make this adored body rise, swell and tremble like a specter…”
EDVARD GRIEG 1843–1907
Selections from Peer Gynt, Op. 23 composed: 1875 most recent oregon symphony performance: March 10, 2014; Andrew Grams, conductor (Suite No. 1) instrumentation: 3 flutes (all doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, bass drum, chimes, cymbals, snare drum, tam tam, triangle, xylophone, piano, organ, harp, and strings estimated duration: 37 minutes The extraordinary popularity of Edvard Grieg’s Peer Gynt suites has given listeners a passing familiarity with some of Grieg’s music for Henrik Ibsen’s play, but Grieg’s complete incidental music is not often heard. Today, Grieg’s music has completely overshadowed Ibsen’s masterpiece. Originally four hours long and written in verse, Peer Gynt’s dense and surreal plot features a repellent Faust-like protagonist hell-bent on the pursuit of his own desires. In 1874, Ibsen wrote Grieg to ask if he would be interested in writing incidental music for a forthcoming adaptation of Peer Gynt for the stage. Grieg agreed, but Ibsen’s request became a bigger project than either man imagined. Ibsen’s original version, conceived as a quasi-epic poem, was not intended for theatrical production; adapting Peer Gynt into a suitable stage play became problematic. Ibsen sent Grieg a detailed letter explaining how he planned to make Peer Gynt performable. “How much music and for which scenes you will compose it I naturally leave entirely
to you; in this a composer obviously must have a completely free hand,” Ibsen wrote. Grieg took 18 months to write 26 movements for Peer Gynt. He worked slowly, weighed down by the inherent difficulties of the task. In his letters, Grieg expressed frustration with the work: “It is a terribly difficult play for which to write music… [Peer Gynt] hangs over me like a nightmare.” While the subject matter of Peer Gynt was challenging enough, Grieg was also referring to the inadequate resources of the theater orchestra, which necessitated artistic compromises. Peer Gynt’s premiere on February 24, 1876, in Christiania (now Oslo) garnered praise for both play and music; one review characterized the music as expressing “bold originality.” Although Grieg wrote to congratulate Ibsen, he himself remained dissatisfied, particularly with the orchestrations. For subsequent productions in 1888 and 1892, Grieg revised his score and also published both Peer Gynt suites. Grieg’s graceful, expressive style does not reflect Ibsen’s vision of Peer Gynt. Instead of a brute whose unmitigated selfishness was intended to portray the worst excesses of society, Grieg’s Gynt is more of an adventurer. Grieg’s portrayal of the female characters also tempers the Nordic horror of Ibsen’s play. Gynt’s mother Åse’s death music is heartbreakingly beautiful but not dismal. Anitra, a Bedouin girl Gynt kidnaps, performs her famous dance, a lilting tune in the tempo of a waltz. Both of Solveig’s songs are gently sweet, in keeping with her faithful nature. Throughout, Grieg’s music, including In the Hall of the Mountain King, which Grieg confessed in a letter he hated because “it absolutely reeks of cow pies, exaggerated Norwegian nationalism, and trollish self-sufficiency!” is highly effective as drama: evocative, richly descriptive but not overly bleak. © 2019 Elizabeth Schwartz

Biography
Storm Large Storm Large last appeared with the Oregon Symphony on December 31, 2017, when she performed with Pink Martini and conductor Carlos Kalmar. Storm Large: musician, actor, playwright, author, awesome. She shot to national prominence in 2006 as a finalist on the cbs show Rock Star: Supernova, where, despite having been eliminated in the week before the finale, Large built a fan base that follows her around the world to this day. Large spent the ’90s singing in clubs throughout San Francisco. Tired of the club scene, she moved to Portland to pursue a new career as a chef, but a last-minute cancellation in 2002 at the Portland club Dante’s turned into a standing Wednesday night engagement for Large and her new band, The Balls. It wasn’t long before Large had a cult-like following in Portland and a renewed singing career that was soon to be launched onto the international stage.

MAHLER’S FIRST SYMPHONY Kennedy Center in Washington, dc. She continues to perform with the band, touring nationally and internationally, and she was featured on their cd Get Happy. Large has also sung with Grammy winner k.d. lang, pianist Kirill Gerstein, punk rocker John Doe, singer/songwriter Rufus Wainwright, and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer George Clinton. She debuted with the Oregon Symphony in 2010, and has returned for sold-out performances each year thereafter. Large made her Carnegie Hall debut in 2013, singing Weill’s The Seven Deadly Sins with the Detroit Symphony as part of the Spring for Music festival. The New York Times called her “sensational,” and the classical music world instantly had a new star.

In 2007, Large starred in Portland Center Stage’s production of Cabaret with Wade McCollum. The show was a smash hit, earning Large glowing reviews. Her next endeavor, the autobiographical musical memoir Crazy Enough, played to packed houses in 2009 during its unprecedented 21-week, sold-out run in Portland. Large went on to perform a cabaret version of the show to critical acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Adelaide Festival in Australia, and Joe’s Pub in New York. Her memoir, Crazy Enough, was released by Simon and Schuster in 2012, named Oprah’s Book of the Week, and awarded the 2013 Oregon Book Award for Creative Nonfiction. Large is featured in Rid of Me, a film by Portlander James Westby, starring Katie O’Grady and Theresa Russell. In 2010, she starred at the Mark Taper Forum with Katey Sagal and Michael McKean in Jerry Zak’s production of Harps and Angels, a musical featuring the work of Randy Newman.

In the fall of 2014, Large & Le Bonheur released a record designed to capture their sublime and subversive interpretations of the American Songbook. Entitled simply Le Bonheur and released on Pink Martini’s Heinz Records, the recording is a collection of tortured and titillating love songs: beautiful, familiar, yet twisted… much like the lady herself.
Hudson Shad With this concert, Hudson Shad makes their debut with the Oregon Symphony. Though the six-man ensemble Hudson Shad (five singers and a pianist) debuted officially in 1992, their nucleus formed in 1977 when three of them made their Carnegie Hall debuts as soloists in Penderecki’s Magnificat. In 1989, the Arts at St. Ann’s in Brooklyn asked bass Wilbur Pauley to contract a quartet to perform as The Family in Kurt Weill’s The Seven Deadly Sins with Marianne Faithfull. The response was favorable. Over the last quarter century, the Hudson Shad quartet has most likely racked up more performances as The Family in the The Seven Deadly Sins than any other group in history. They have performed in almost 60 different locations, from Arezzo to Zagreb, numbering close to 200 performances worldwide. They participated in a staging of the work, in a double bill with Weill’s The Flight Across the Ocean, at the Macerata Festival. They have twice recorded the work, once with Kurt Masur and the New York Philharmonic and once with Ms. Faithfull, Dennis Russell Davies, and the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra. In 2008, Hudson Shad was honored to participate in the Carnegie Hall premiere of the work with Ute Lemper and the Toronto Symphony. In 1999, Hudson Shad was featured on Broadway in a musical tribute to the legendary German singing group, The Comedian Harmonists: Band in Berlin. Recent performances include Sins with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the bbc Symphony Orchestra in 2017, in 2018 with the Houston Symphony, and earlier this year with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. In 2018, they
MAHLER’S FIRST SYMPHONY sang hymns that Charles Ives used as the basis for his four violin sonatas, in tandem with pianist Jeremy Denk and violinist Stefan Jackiw, in Boston and New York City. These performances in Portland mark the 16th location for the Shad family unit with Storm Large since their initial encounter at the Ojai Festival in June 2014. They appeared previously with Large and Maestro Kalmar at the Grant Park Festival in Chicago. Upcoming engagements for Hudson Shad include more Sins in Shanghai and Germany and a repeat of the Ives program at the Tanglewood Festival this July.

The Seven Deadly Sins tells the story of a young dancer, Anna, who is sent by her family on a journey through seven American cities in order to earn money as a dancer. Anna’s earnings will then build her family a house in Louisiana. Anna’s character splits into two personalities; one is ravaged by the demands of making a living, the other

MAHLER’S FIRST SYMPHONY plagued by her human weaknesses (the “deadly sins”). The first Anna is rational and will stop at nothing to reach her goals. However, the second Anna gives in to her desires and thus threatens the family’s plans. In the end, Anna I triumphs over Anna II. Anna’s family introduces the first sin, Sloth. Weill plays up the irony of this “sin” with music of dark, relentless energy. Her parents express their hope that Anna will behave herself, while her brothers respond with the recurring refrain, “Idleness leads to trouble.” Anna continues the narrative in Pride, in which she describes her first job dancing in Memphis. Anna struggles with her dignity as she realizes all the audience wants is a strip tease, rather than the artistic cabaret Anna wants to perform. She must “do what they want, not what you would like them to want… Think of our little home in Louisiana.” The music depicts the bawdy, debased dancing Anna performs in order to earn money.

In Anger, the family complains that Anna is not sending enough money home, while Anna explains she is working in Los Angeles as a movie extra; she becomes angry with a brutal wrangler who is whipping a horse and beats him with his own whip.

The family returns in Gluttony, singing a cappella in a self-righteous, chorale-like condemnation of Anna’s love of food. She is dancing in Philadelphia, but the family worries she will overeat and lose her job. They warn her not to indulge her passion for sweets – “Gluttony brings disaster!” Lust opens with an exotic trumpet solo, while Anna describes her dilemma: in Boston she has found a rich lover who keeps her in luxury, but Anna II has fallen in love with Fernando, a gigolo who takes her money. Anna I convinces Anna II to leave Fernando, because to indulge in love for love’s sake is merely lust. In Baltimore, Anna succumbs to Greed. Her fame and notoriety are the talk of the town, and result in the suicides of men who cannot live with her ruthless devotion to money. The orchestra mimics

the gossipy twitterings of the citizens of Baltimore as they buzz over Anna. In her last stop, San Francisco, Anna plunges into Envy for those whose lives are not driven by monetary gain. She has earned enough to finish the house in Louisiana but cannot enjoy it. Eventually she jettisons her regrets and heads home. In the Epilogue, the Annas are welcomed home by their family as they stand on the porch of their hard-won little house.
GUSTAV MAHLER 1860–1911
Symphony No. 1 in D Major, “Titan” composed: 1884–88, rev. 1893–96 most recent oregon symphony performance: May 24, 2010; Carlos Kalmar, conductor instrumentation: 4 flutes (three doubling piccolo), 4 oboes (one doubling English horn), 4 clarinets (one doubling bass clarinet), 3 bassoons (one doubling contrabassoon), 7 horns, 5 trumpets, 4 trombones, tuba, 2 sets of timpani, bass drum, cymbals, gong, triangle, harp, and strings estimated duration: 56 minutes
Like many composers, Gustav Mahler was both drawn to and wary of the notion of program music, or music with non-musical inspirations. Mahler wrestled with this idea in writing his First Symphony, fearing that it would not be as well received if it was not “absolute” music. At the same time, the attraction of an underlying narrative as a unifying structure held great appeal for Mahler. The argument for the Symphony No. 1 as program music is strengthened by the fact that much of its musical material was borrowed from other sources. In the first two movements, Mahler used melodies from two of his Songs of a Wayfarer as the basis for elaborate thematic development. In
MAHLER’S FIRST SYMPHONY the third movement, he set the folk song “Brother Martin,” better known as “Frère Jacques,” in a somber minor key. In the final movement, Mahler wanders further afield, repurposing material from Liszt’s Dante Symphony and Wagner’s Parsifal. “Composing is like playing with building blocks, where new buildings are created again and again, using the same blocks,” wrote Mahler to a friend. Finally, despite Mahler’s ambivalence about associating his music with a specific program, he did provide one to music critic Ludwig Karpath (something he later regretted). The “Titan” Symphony’s overall narrative describes, in Mahler’s words, “a strong, heroic man, his life and sufferings, his battles and defeat at the hands of Fate.” During the 1880s, as Mahler worked on the Symphony No. 1, he made his living as an opera conductor in various regional theaters. Mahler’s demanding performance schedule left him neither time nor energy to compose his own music during the concert season. During his summer vacations, free from theatrical engagements, Mahler devoted himself to composition. Mahler’s use of previously composed music may have also been a practical choice dictated by his limited composing time. At the premiere, in Budapest on November 20, 1889, audiences were disturbed by the third movement, with its ghostly reworking of a children’s folksong in the tempo of a funeral march. Mahler indicated this music was full of “biting irony,” in which “all the coarseness, the mirth, and the banality of the world are heard in the sound of a Bohemian village band, together with the hero’s terrible cries of pain.” The loutish parody of the band, complete with oom-pahs, mingles with music taken from another of Mahler’s Wayfarer songs, “Die zwei blauen Augen” (Your Two Blue Eyes), which resembles a melody from Jewish liturgy. In the finale, according to Mahler’s narrative, “the hero is exposed to the most fearful combats and to all the sorrows of the world. He and his
triumphant motifs are hit on the head again and again by Destiny… Only when he has triumphed over death, and when all the glorious memories of youth have returned with themes from the first movement, does he get the upper hand, and there is a great victorious chorale!” Destiny intervenes with pounding brasses and timpani, full of sturm und drang (storm and stress), but a triumphant brass choir hints at the hero’s ultimate victory, even as he continues to struggle with the forces bent on his destruction. Finally, the chorale bursts forth (some listeners have discerned traces of the “Hallelujah” chorus from Handel’s Messiah in it) and concludes the symphony, with the horns standing to play their final triumphant notes. “It’s the most spontaneous and daringly composed of my works,” said Mahler of his First Symphony. “Naively, I imagined that it… would have… immediate appeal… How great was my surprise and disappointment when it turned out quite differently. In Budapest, where I first performed it, my friends avoided me afterwards… I went about like a leper and an outlaw.” Both critics and audiences reacted negatively at the premiere, with one critic deriding it as a parody of a symphony. The influential Viennese critic Eduard Hanslick was equally harsh: “The new symphony is the kind of music which for me is not music.” Subsequent performances, even after Mahler made substantial revisions, provoked equally strong reactions. More than ten years after the premiere, another critic described the audience’s reaction: “There were startled faces all around and some hissing was heard.” Leonard Bernstein did much to promote Mahler’s symphonies, and conducted them all over the world over the course of his long career on the podium. Today, the Symphony No. 1 is one of Mahler’s most popular and most frequently performed works. © 2019 Elizabeth Schwartz

From Justin Timberlake and Usher to Justin Bieber and Beyoncé, the most successful stars in the industry look to Boyz II Men as their idols.
Beyond making music, giving back is also important to Boyz II Men. The group has its own charity called Boyz II Men House, which lends support to individuals and organizations that focus on improving quality of life and helping to unlock human potential while contributing to the health and vitality of those less fortunate. Boyz II Men have made r&b accessible to the masses and have helped the genre come into its own – and fans throughout the world flock to see them perform at sold-out shows. Fans were wowed in the summer of 2014 when Boyz II Men headed out on the hotly anticipated Package Tour with New Kids on the Block and 98 Degrees. The group released a new album featuring original material through label bmg in October 2014 called Collide. Collide is a landmark album for Boyz II Men, showcasing a new and different sound for one of the most successful and enduring groups in mainstream music. Two of the tracks, “Better Half” and “Diamond Eyes,” were featured on a special episode of abc’s hit show, The Bachelorette. The group also performed on fox’s hit live show Grease Live, which aired on January 31, 2016. Their performance became the mosttweeted moment. Most recently, Wanya Morris became a double threat, stepping on the dancefloor on abc’s hit show Dancing with the Stars, where he and partner, Lindsay Arnold, made it to the semifinals – ending on a high note with three tens. Most recently, the group has released a doo-wop album called Under the Streetlight.

Portland Saturday Market, an open-air marketplace for local artisans, was founded in 1974 by Sheri Teasdale and Andrea Scharf. Inspired by the Saturday Market in Eugene, they organized craftspeople to form a nonprofit collective with all members sharing management responsibility and keeping their own profits. With a $1,000 startup grant from Metropolitan Arts Council and an empty parking lot offered by civic leader Bill Naito, the PSM opened for business. The market outgrew its original location by 1976 and relocated underneath the west side of the Burnside Bridge. Urban development necessitated another move in 2009 to the current, custom-built location in Waterfront Park. Today, the iconic Market showcases the work of over 350 artisans who sell their creations from 252 booths. This jewel of local arts and culture is held every Saturday and Sunday from March through Christmas Eve and welcomes up to 750,000 people per season.

ON A HIGH NOTE By the time you finish reading his interview, it will come as no surprise that The Oregonian noted the “irresistible energy, appealing tone, and dazzling technique” of Zach Galatis. Piccolo and flute of the Oregon Symphony since 2012, Galatis wears his passion (and humor) on his sleeve. His resume is long and distinguished, and while he advises not to recite one’s credentials habitually, his fans should know that he plays with Third Angle and 45th Parallel. He’s won copious awards, teaches prolifically, and performs as a guest of many orchestras and various summer festivals. Galatis graduated summa cum laude with performance honors from the Crane School of Music at suny Potsdam and earned a master’s degree and performance diploma from the Peabody Conservatory of Johns Hopkins University. What’s your first memory of a live music performance? The first real, indelible memory I have of a live music performance was going to one of those youth concerts at the orchestra where I grew up, just like the ones that Oregon Symphony does. I was probably in kindergarten or so, and the orchestra featured a high school-aged soloist who had won a competition to play a concerto with them. I was totally hooked and decided that I wanted to do that someday, too. When I was a senior in high school, I won that same concerto competition, and I got to play a concerto with the orchestra. I hope that I inspired some young musicians the same way I was inspired! Even better, I get to do those concerts on a regular basis each season with the Oregon Symphony, and we reach thousands of children this way, which I think is super cool.

Zach Galatis
How did you come to play the piccolo? Can you describe your first experience of being drawn to it? I started out on flute in school in the fourth grade. After a little while, I realized I was one of many and not standing out at all (in school band there are a bunch of flutes – not just a couple like in an orchestra). I decided this was unacceptable, and that the only option was to play something even higher, louder, and more noticeable. We all joke that instruments and their players have predictable characteristics. I definitely wanted to be heard and be heard a lot! What does that say about me, anyway? To this day, I love the way the piccolo stands out in orchestra, and I love the multiple roles that it can play in orchestral music. Being a piccolo player also requires a certain amount of self-confidence and nerve, since you are always heard and often playing very exposed and difficult parts after sitting and not playing for long periods of time. For instance, in Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony the piccolo player doesn’t play a note until over 45 minutes have gone by and then has to play a difficult and delicate solo! What role do you think music education plays for young people? What are your thoughts on the current state of music instruction in our public education system?
I’m going to say this slowly and nice and loud for everyone sitting in the back: Music. Education. Is. Essential. For. All. Kids.” I am proud to be a part of the Oregon Symphony’s educational outreach, whether it’s as a part of the orchestra for our Kids Concerts or taking a quintet around to the elementary schools and showing all the kids our instruments. Getting kids fired up about music and expressing themselves in that way is so important, and they need it to fuel their brains for other things! In Mr. Holland’s Opus, the movie where Richard Dreyfuss plays a composer who begrudgingly takes a band teaching job at the public
high school (filmed in Portland!) and then does it for the rest of his career, he’s fighting the people in charge who want to make cuts to all the arts programs. He says, sure they need reading and writing class, but without music and art, “pretty soon these kids won’t have anything to read and write about!” Boom. Mic drop. Fund music education. What advice do you give to aspiring professional musicians, in general, and flutists, in particular? Well, the obvious: practice, practice, practice. Use a tuner and a metronome, and learn to play in tune and in time! Work very hard and take in information and influences from all types of genres and artists, and be completely open to criticism and critique from musicians you know and respect. Figure out how to make your strengths marketable – make great connections with people in your musical community – and don’t burn any bridges! At the same time, don’t get in the habit of reading your resume every time you meet new people in your field (I hate that). For flutists in particular, don’t be afraid of the piccolo! It can be a beast, but figure out how to tame it and learn to love it – as a freelancer you will get twice as much work that way. How much time do you spend practicing? Where are you most often when you practice? I am a firm believer in the importance of how well you practice, not how much. I practice exactly as much as I need to (and no more) for whatever it is I’m preparing. I can get more done in 10 minutes of really focused, goal-oriented practicing than some people can get done in hours. In this way, I make the best use of my time when preparing the mountain of repertoire that we have to get through in an Oregon Symphony season. There are some programs that I can look through the folder in one short sitting, and I’ll be fine. Other weeks, I woodshed difficult technique for hours! It just depends. When my partner and I were house hunting, one of the things that was most important to me was having a special space in the house that >>> CONTINUED ON PAGE 44

<<< CONTINUED FROM PAGE 43
was just for my work. So, I have exactly that – a music studio, which is my teaching and practicing space. It’s a great room with awesome acoustics (perhaps too good!) that gives me a dedicated place to get my work done. What’s the funniest thing that’s ever happened during an Oregon Symphony performance? This is a pretty good story. A bunch of players onstage utilize earplugs to protect their hearing. I use them a good deal of the time, since I’m the piccolo player, and my playing can be on the very loud and high side. One set of plugs was made in two parts, like a casing and filter that fit into it. During one concert, one of them came apart, leaving half the earplug stuck in my ear, and I couldn’t get it out! I was sort of panicking, totally catastrophizing that I’d have to go to the hospital to have it removed. My colleague sitting next to me was cool and collected; she asked our principal oboist for tweezers or pliers
out of his reed case, and she went to work to remove it from my ear. From the audience, it probably looked like she was doing surgery. She got it out! Are there any other genres or art forms you’d like to explore? I have a deep love of musical theater and singing, and in some alternate universe, I think I probably went in that direction instead of the flute. Maybe in that universe, I’m taller and can dance, too. Of all the places you’ve performed, what’s your favorite venue? Your favorite audience? What made it so? Last year, I had the awesome opportunity to go play as guest principal flute with the Buffalo Philharmonic as they toured Poland as part of the Polish Beethoven Festival. We played in several stunning orchestra halls, some of which were very old, and some of which were state-of-theart and brand new. Europe and the arts, people! In terms of a favorite audience, I am grateful for any audience that is
interested, engaged, and appreciative of the music we make. Just like a tree falling in a forest may make no sound if nobody’s around, an orchestra would have no purpose if not for the audience.
The Oregon Symphony has an incredible and supportive one here in Portland, which we can feel onstage.” What do you find most challenging about being a professional musician? I think I’ve gotten to a good place on this at this point in my career, but I think finding balance in life is a huge hurdle for professional musicians. Due to the nature of what we do, the fact that it’s art and so intensely personal, I think it becomes so much more than just a “job” for most of us. In that way, it’s hard to separate it from the rest of our lives. I love being a professional musician, making music, affecting people’s lives – and then going home and being a normal person who likes to binge watch tv or play board games.

What music do you like to listen to in your free time? I’m really, really good at leaving work at work, whether that be at the concert hall or in the practice room. I basically never listen to classical music in my recreational time, which is almost scandalizing to some people. I listen to pop music (and unabashedly love it) all the time. I love singer-songwriters, and I’m a huge fan of Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michaelson, and Lady Gaga. But most often, if you opened the Spotify app on my phone, you’d find a Broadway musical playing. I get obsessed with one show at a time, and my poor partner has to endure songs and albums on repeat ad nauseam at home as I work through my obsession. Sorry, Matt! (He’s the best and never complains.) What are your thoughts on concert dress in the 21st century? I strongly believe that the days of tails, tuxedos, and ballgowns are over. Historically, orchestras dressed up in
formalwear so as to not be out-dressed by the audiences of the day. This just isn’t the case anymore, by and large, and especially not in a city as laid-back and casual as Portland. Sure, there are some people who dress up to come to the Symphony and the Opera, and I think that’s great! I love a snazzy bowtie (unless I’m performing – I need to breathe!). But a bunch of forwardthinking orchestras are starting to update and go for simpler, cleaner, more modern looks. Not only does this speak to a new, younger, hipper audience, but it also looks so much less stuffy. I think this is the way of the future, and I’m hoping that the Oregon Symphony will follow this trend.
Seriously, though, our house is full of board games. We’ve got any game you can think of, and it’s one of my favorite things to do to unwind. I also have absolutely no shame to admit my love of tv. At any given time, there are several shows that we’re watching, binging, or re-watching (currently two seasons into Lost for the second time). I’m an extremely passionate karaoke-er. As in, if you think about anything in anybody’s life that they’re passionate about, double it, and that’s me with karaoke. That isn’t “outside of music” exactly, but since it’s outside of the flute, I think it counts. I sing anything from Billy Joel and ’90s boy bands to Mariah Carey and Celine Dion. And no, I don’t transpose anything. #originalkeysonly.
What do you do for fun and relaxation outside of music? I remember being so frustrated at the question of “what do you do for fun” when I was out dating. Give me a break! What I do for a living is the interesting part of my life! I’m boring otherwise!
