Dear Friends, Welcome to our Spring 2021 season. We are thrilled to present this exceptional array of artists, brought to you from our Music Room in The Rosen House. We are overjoyed that, starting April 2, we are able to bring a limited-capacity audience into this venue while we continue livestreaming our concerts as well. Over the past year, Caramoor – like many performing arts organizations everywhere – has focused on streaming concerts in a profound effort to keep the music playing. We are incredibly appreciative of the artists who have joined us on this journey, and we are deeply grateful to you, our dedicated audience members, who have allowed us to transport the music directly into your homes. Our eight concerts this spring include a vocal recital by one of today’s leading bass-baritones, two string quartets from our Ernst Stiefel Quartetin-Residence program, a spirited Baroque band, a legendary jazz singer, and more. We are also pleased to continue a new video series we started this fall, Caramoor Conversations, designed to deepen our audiences’ connection to the musicians and composers that we have presented. I am so excited to share that, in May, Caramoor will welcome Edward J. Lewis III as our new President & CEO. Ed has two decades of experience in performing arts leadership. An accomplished violist, Ed is a demonstrated leader, innovator, and musician with a long roster of accomplishments. He will be coming to us from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, where he is currently Vice-Chancellor for Advancement. We can’t wait to introduce Ed to the Caramoor community. Most importantly, we look forward to welcoming you back to our grounds more fully this summer. It is our hope that, by then, the world will be ready for us to gather safely to share the many joys of live music together. Warmly,

Nina Curley Interim CEO

Caramoor Goes Virtual!

How Caramoor has adapted to the digital landscape and stayed close to artists and audiences throughout the pandemic. By Kathy Schuman, Artistic Director Wh o ca n f o r g et t h e w e e k o f M a r c h 9, 2 0 2 0 ? It began with us welcoming five Schwab Vocal Rising Stars for our annual mentoring program with Steven Blier, with every intention of having a public concert in the Music Room on Sunday, March 15. Well, as the week progressed, it became clear that this was not to be. By March 14, everything had shut down. But wait….didn’t we just install video cameras in the Music Room the previous year? Should we do a livestreamed concert?? Do we even know how to do that??? Well, here we are, a year and 20 livestreams later, and I’m proud to say — we know how to do that! As we launch our Spring 2021 season of livestreamed concerts, I’d love to share a few thoughts with you on the past year and what it’s been like to bring music to you in this new virtual format. In-person vs Livestream As we transitioned to livestreaming, I felt it was really important to transfer some part of the special Caramoor setting to our virtual concerts. So, we decided early on not to do any remote recordings, but only ones actually filmed at Caramoor. (We did have one exception to this, which was our quartet-in-residence, who were unable to travel from Houston, TX). I introduced each concert from a different room of the Rosen House, or from a spot on the grounds, so our audiences could learn a bit more about our unique site. Added content One of the benefits of the video concerts is our ability to add additional content and features to the programs. 05 / Caramoor

Many of our livestreamed concerts are followed by a Q&A on stage with the artists. The audience can send questions in through the chat box during the stream. These talks really help connect audiences to the musicians, and allow them to hear about not just the music, but how they’ve been coping throughout this past year. For many of these artists, our performances were the first time they played with other people, or outside of their homes, for many months. We’ve also added short pre-recorded interviews with alumni of our Rising Stars programs, and segments with or about composers whose works are featured on the programs. We even included a fun video of the Jacobsen brothers playing our theremin!

A post-concert chat with Gloria Chien, Anthony McGill and Kathy Schuman, Caramoor’s Artistic Director

Becoming a media company We discovered that putting on livestreamed concerts is MUCH more work than “normal” live concerts! The programs are shot with three cameras and live-edited from the basement. (Yes, practically all of our streams have really been LIVE.) So, we now have a whole livestream ‘team’ including a director, a livestream technician, an audio engineer, video graphic designer, live- chat monitor, etc. It all comes together on the day of the performance, with the extra nailbiting that comes along with that dreaded phrase “technical difficulties”! Thankfully these have been few and far between, but we will not soon forget when we couldn’t get any audio on Inon Barnatan’s July livestream and had to tell folks to tune in the next day. But that was back in July… Working during a pandemic On top of everything else, there are all the Covid safety protocols. Artists sometimes had to quarantine, there were Covid tests, there were masks, there were gloves, there were Lysol wipes, there were chairs spaced six feet apart (and colleagues with a ruler to check!). And our artist/staff meals were “enjoyed” with each of us sitting alone

at our own table. One of the oddest things for me was the 15 minutes or so leading up to each stream. Usually there’s audience filing in and chatting and the whole Music Room is aflutter with anticipation and conviviality. Now, the moments leading up to the stream are really, really quiet. The few staff members are at their ‘stations’ — the hall is virtually empty, except for a couple of us. The stage manager gives the countdown….5, 4, 3, 2, 1. After each piece, we give the artists a quiet thumbs up; there’s usually no clapping or bows.

As I write this, it looks like N.Y. State may be allowing small indoor audiences this spring. Whoopee! Music to my ears. Now we’ll have to figure out how to do in-person concerts simultaneously with livestreams. “Watch out, sir, don’t trip on that wire…!” / 06

About the Music. At a Glance

The program begins with Shostakovich’s Piano Trio No. 2 in E minor, written in 1944 during WWII. This trio has the character of a ceremonial folk dance and its music has been compared to a war-dance or a grim processional. Shostakovich was not Jewish, but he felt empathy for the Jews, who he knew to be the most persecuted people of Europe. The piano music has even been compared to klezmer music. Ian MacDonald, in The New Shostakovich, comments that “horrified by stories that SS guards had made their victims dance beside their own graves,” Shostakovich created a programmatic image in his music. The piano trio was one of the most popular chamber music ensembles in Beethoven’s time, and although he wrote relatively little music for piano trio, each of his trios is a very important work. Beethoven was revolutionary, taking his music where no other music had gone before. His Op. 1 was made up of a set of three trios that his teacher, Haydn, found so advanced and difficult that he advised young Beethoven not to publish them at the time of their composition. By his middle years, Beethoven had brought the form he had inherited from Mozart and Haydn to its greatest height; he then wrote three more trios: the two of Op. 70 and the B-Flat Trio, Op. 97, the latter dedicated to Archduke Rudolph, completed in 1811 and known as the Archduke Trio.

DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH (1906-1975) Piano Trio No. 2, in E minor, Op. 67 (1944) About the Composer The 20th century Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975) composed 15 symphonies and 15 string quartets, but wrote only two trios for violin, cello, and piano. The first, a student work, dates from 1923, when the composer was 17; it has remained in manuscript. He had a difficult time throughout much of his career due to official Soviet disfavor, although his early music met with approval not only in Russia but internationally. As soon as he composed his opera Lady Macbeth and his next symphonies, Pravda, the official Soviet news agency, condemned his work for its “bourgeois decadence,” describing the symphony as un-Soviet, unwholesome, cheap, eccentric, and lacking in songfulness. Authorities suggested he should attempt to compose music that would have greater appeal for the masses, music that was simpler, more melodic, more optimistic, and heroic in character. About the Work Piano Trio No. 2, in E minor, Op. 67 which Shostakovich composed in 1944, is a tense, tragic work, similar in tone to many he composed during the war years like his Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Symphonies. The siege of Leningrad, which had ended in January, cost Russia over a million people, and Russia was exhausted from the war. This work is imbued

with Shostakovich’s feelings about the tremendous loss of so many of his countrymen as well as that of the Jews of Europe who were exterminated in the war. Shostakovich dedicated the work to the memory of the Soviet wit, musicologist, music critic, linguist, professor, and artistic director of the Leningrad Philharmonic, Ivan Sollertinsky, one of his close friends and earliest supporters, who died in February 1944 at the age of 41. After Sollertinsky’s death, Shostakovich wrote to his widow: “ I cannot express in words all the grief I felt when I received the news of the death of Ivan Ivanovich. He was my closest friend. I owe him my entire development. You can scant imagine how difficult it will be for me to live without him.” Elegiac sections of the trio seem a fitting tribute to this friend. The work was premiered November 1944, with the composer as pianist. A Deeper Listen The opening movement is an elegiac and lyrical Andante that begins quite strikingly with the cello playing at the top of its range in eerie tones produced by artificial harmonics in canon with a muted violin, playing in its low register. The piano introduces the main theme against the strings’ repeated-note accompaniment. The sentiments are bleak, but the music is not without moments of happiness, muted introspection, and even anger. About halfway through the movement, the music becomes somewhat more animated, but overall, it retains its gravely lyrical character. The second movement, a scherzo, Allegro con brio, is rhythmic and free, with discords that occasionally

give it a menacing air. It is marked by compulsive rhythms and pizzicato that always seem on edge. In the movement’s center, the violin articulates fragments of a folk song. The contrasting trio is a kind of giddy waltz. The speed of this movement, as indicated by the composer’s metronome markings, seems to be so extreme as to make it impossible to perform it as written. The trio reaches its emotional climax in the third movement, a short, simple, but eloquently expressive Largo, an “epitaph” in a form resembling that of a passacaglia or a chaconne, with the violin and cello weaving continuous contrapuntal variations over the sustained and repeated hymn-like chords emanating from the piano. This part of the music seems to have been inspired by the music of Bach. The music reaches a climax and then ends on an unresolved chord. The Largo leads directly into the final Allegretto, whose principal theme seems to recall that of the first movement, and, like the second movement, the music expresses both happiness and sorrow and contains both lyricism and very dense counterpoint. In fact, all the moods of the earlier movements reappear. The character of the music is like a ceremonial folk dance and has been likened to a war-dance or a grim processional. The material the piano plays has even been compared to klezmer music. The music finally rises to a grand climax that is suddenly interrupted by the opening movement’s theme; then, the main theme of the finale returns, followed by a theme from the first movement. At the very end, the piano chords Spring 2021 XI

from the second movement bring the work to its quiet and devastatingly bleak conclusion. Shostakovich’s friendship with many of his Jewish compatriots and his special awareness of the problems that they faced in Soviet society are well known. He gave them their grandest expression in a cycle of eleven songs to texts translated from the Yiddish into Russian in 1948, but had to withhold it from performance until 1955. The incorporation of the sounds of Russian-Jewish dance music in this trio has sometimes been misinterpreted as providing light relief in an otherwise serious and dramatic work. In fact, much of the literature about the composer and his works hardly mentions its presence here, but one Soviet-Jewish biographer of the composer, in a book published in Moscow in 1959, opined that Shostakovich did not intend this to be amusing at all, but wished this composition to be a tragic dance of death of Jews fated to be slaughtered by invading Nazis. Shostakovich meant for this musical dissent to be disguised, and it was often overlooked in the beginning of the composition’s performance history. After his death, when Shostakovich was honored by the public tribute given to his body in the Grand Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, the slow movement of this trio was among the works performed.

LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN (1770-1827) Piano Trio in B-flat Major, Op. 97, “Archduke” (1811) About the Composer Beethoven, one of the most famous of German composers, is, in fact, one of the most revered and most performed composers in all of Western music. His work bridges the Classical period to the beginning of the Romantic period, making him a pivotal figure in the history of what we generally regard as “classical” music. He often rebelled against common composition practices of his day, accelerating the transition to Romantic music. A composer of symphonies, an opera, and music for piano as well as much chamber music, he was also a virtuoso pianist. At the age of 21, when he briefly studied composition with Haydn, he was solidifying his career as a pianist, but he was forced to stop performing around the time he composed the Archduke Trio because he was plagued with failing hearing. Increasingly cut off from the world by his deafness, he forged his own artistic path, more and more unconcerned with what others thought of him. Beethoven’s superlative reputation has been consistent throughout the centuries: Amadeus Wendt wrote, “Beethoven’s music inspires in its listeners awe, fear, horror, pain, and that exquisite nostalgia that is the soul of romanticism.” E.T.A. Hoffmann felt he defined “a concept of genius, executed with profound deliberation, which in a very high degree brings the romantic content of music to expression.” The 21st century British commentator John Suchet has

declared: “Given the relatively small number of compositions by Beethoven – compared to the output of his two great contemporaries Haydn and Mozart – they stand as the greatest body of music ever composed.” About the Work The Archduke of Austria, the youngest son of Emperor Leopold II, was a passionate music lover, who began to take lessons from Beethoven when he was about 18. The two became lifelong friends. In 1809, when Beethoven deliberated taking a post with one of Napoleon’s brothers, Rudolph and two young noblemen joined in guaranteeing him an annual income that allowed him to remain in Vienna. Beethoven, in return, with respect mingled with affection, dedicated fourteen scores to him. Rudolph had hoped for the dedication of the Op. 70 Trios, which went to someone else by mistake, but Beethoven dedicated the next one, Op. 97, to him. Beethoven sketched the Archduke Trio in 1810 and completed the work during three weeks of March 1811, but withheld it for a long time, perhaps for some reason connected with Rudolph. Beethoven’s friends knew of the work’s existence, but none heard the Trio until a charity concert in April 1814 in a hotel in Vienna. This performance was the final one that Beethoven, by then completely deaf, played in public. The composer Louis Spohr, who was there, wrote in his autobiography, “It was not much of a pleasure, for, in the first place, the piano was badly out of tune, which didn’t bother Beethoven much, since he could not hear it. In forte passages the poor deaf man pounded on the keys until the strings jangled, and in

piano passages he played so softly that complete groupings of notes seemed absent. There was almost nothing left of his former great virtuosity, which used to be so admirable. I was moved to deepest sorrow. Since deafness is so great a misfortune for anyone, how can a musician endure it without despair? Beethoven’s continual melancholy was no longer a riddle to me.” In addition to his hearing loss, Beethoven had other problems at that time. The composer believed that he was exhausting the expressive possibilities of the classical musical structures. A period of near-silence was coming, during which he would compose nothing, while he gathered his energies for the outpouring of future works in a new style that would dominate late in his life. A Deeper Listen Perhaps the elevated nobility of the Trio’s genial first movement, Allegro moderato, written in sonata form, has always made the title seem appropriate. The distinctive qualities of the work are all immediately apparent here with each of its musical ideas rich in great new possibilities. The brilliantly colorful writing for the three instruments perfectly matches the shifting moods of the music, by turns relaxed and expansive. After the broad grandeur of the lyrical main theme, the second theme provides a contrast, a cascade of repeated notes in a descending scalar figure, but what follows is nevertheless a charming and playful interlude. Then Beethoven gets down to the serious business of development in which every direction that can be taken is explored with the incomparable fertility of his creative imagination, including piano trills Spring 2021 XIII

and protracted string pizzicatos. In the coda (after the recapitulation), the three join together proclaiming the initial theme triumphantly. The second movement, a long, complex, and rather idiosyncratic Scherzo, Allegro, has as a theme a simple rhythmicized major scale initiated by the cello, answered in a descending scale; the music that follows is playful and lyrical. The movement’s central section consists of a mysterious, chromatic, syncopated canon and a contrasting rhythmic section; at the very end, the first of these comes back as a coda, which includes a fragment of a chromatic fugue.

Next comes an expansive Andante cantabile in a bright major tonality that looks forward to the slow movements of Beethoven’s final works. The movement is built as a calm and beautiful theme, introduced by the piano, with five progressively elaborate variations of constantly increasing intensity. Its coda runs without pause directly into the last movement, Allegro moderato, a big, joyous, witty rondo, in traditional alternating sections with the initial A section returning as a refrain after each contrasting section (ABACAB’A). A coda in which the three instruments seem to chase each other brings the trio to a spirited Presto conclusion.

About the Artists.

Junction Trio Three visionary next-generation artists combine internationally recognized talents in the eclectic new ensemble Junction Trio. The Trio has performed at Washington Performing Arts, Portland Ovations, Rockport Music, Chautauqua Institution, and the Royal Conservatory in Toronto. Performances in the 2019-2020 season included debuts with Orange County Philharmonic Society, Chamber Music Albuquerque, BIG ARTS Sanibel, and Valley Classical Concerts in Northampton, Massachusetts.

Conrad Tao, piano A musician of “probing intellect and open-hearted vision” (The New York Times), Conrad Tao has appeared worldwide as a pianist and composer. Named “one of five classical music faces to watch” (The New York Times) last season, Tao is a recipient of the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant and a Gilmore Young Artist—an honor awarded every two years to the most promising American pianists of the new generation. In the 2019-2020 season, Tao made his recital debut with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at Walt Disney Hall, and was presented in recital by Carnegie Hall and by the Cleveland Orchestra at Severance Hall. Tao’s debut disc, Voyages, was declared a “spiky debut” by The New Yorker’s Alex Ross, and his second album, Pictures, was hailed by The New York Times as “a fascinating album [by] a thoughtful artist and dynamic performer…played with enormous imagination, color and command.” Tao’s third album, Compassion, was released in fall of 2019. Tao was born in Urbana, IL in 1994. He has studied piano with Emilio del Rosario in Chicago Spring 2021 XV

and Yoheved Kaplinsky in New York, and composition with Christopher Theofanidis.

Born to physicist parents of Korean and German descent, 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 and an Artist Diploma from the New England Conservatory, and he lives in New York City.

Stefan Jackiw, violin One of America’s foremost violinists, Stefan Jackiw captivates audiences by combining poetry and purity with impeccable technique. Praised for playing of "uncommon musical substance" that is “striking for its intelligence and sensitivity” (Boston Globe), Jackiw has appeared as soloist with the Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco symphony orchestras, among others. Fecently, Jackiw returned to the Bournemouth Symphony, the Helsinki Philharmonic, and the RTÉ National Symphony in Dublin. Past recital highlights include performances of the complete Ives violin Sonatas with Jeremy Denk at Tanglewood and Boston’s Jordan Hall, and performance of the complete Brahms violin sonatas, which Jackiw has recorded for Sony. With the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie under Matthias Pintscher, Jackiw gave the world premiere of American composer David Fulmer’s Violin Concerto No. 2, “Jubilant Arcs,” commissioned for Jackiw by the Heidelberg Festival.

Jackiw participated in Caramoor’s Evnin Rising Stars chamber music mentoring program in 2007.

Jay Campbell, cello Cellist Jay Campbell brings his eclectic creative interests to bear in performances that The New York Times calls “electrifying” and The Washington Post calls “gentle, poignant, and deeply moving.” The only musician ever to receive two Avery Fisher Career Grants — in 2016 as a soloist, and again in 2019 as a member of the JACK Quartet — he approaches old and new music with the same curiosity and commitment. Campbell made his debut with the New York Philharmonic in 2013 and worked with Alan Gilbert in 2016 as Artistic Director for Ligeti Forward, a series

featured at the New York Philharmonic Biennale at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In 2017, Campbell served as Artist- in-Residence at the Lucerne Festival alongside violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja, with whom he later appeared in recital at New York’s Park Avenue Armory and the Ojai Music Festival. Campbell made his Berlin debut in 2018 at the Berlin Philharmonie with Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin. Dedicated to introducing audiences to important contemporary music,

Campbell has worked with some of the most creative musicians of our time, including Pierre Boulez, Elliott Carter, Matthias Pintscher, John Adams, Kaija Saariaho, Chaya Czernowin, Georg Friedrich Haas, and many others. His close association with John Zorn led to the 2015 release of Hen to Pan (Tzadik), which featured all works written for Campbell, and was listed in The New York Times year-end Best Recordings of 2015. A committed chamber musician, Campbell is also a member of the JACK Quartet.

Highlights of Our Fall Special Events.

For our annual Cabaret benefit, Laura Osnes and Tony Yazbeck celebrated Gershwin and the American Songbook in a Livestream from the Music Room.

aramoor’s special events play a vital role in raising funds for our core programming and are a great opportunity to thank our donors who help foster musical inspiration. We appreciate the support of our event donors, especially in this strange past season as they withstood reschedules and modifications aplenty. Our Opening Night Gala was cancelled though received generous support from ticket and table reservations converted to donations. Our Cabaret in the Music Room instead became live on screen from your own living room and even included some fancy-footed dance numbers. And we were able to host a small, outdoor, socially distant, and compliant fundraising dinner – the Fall Fête – in the careful hands of our friends at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. Caramoor is grateful to the event committees and patrons that helped guide us in making sure these occasions were memorable and successful.

Laura Osnes serenaded audiences in thier homes with a favorite Gershwin song. 09 / Caramoor

Leave a Legacy.

aramoor Center for Music and the Arts was established by Walter and Lucie Rosen to operate their estate in perpetuity as a home for art, music, and inspiration. The Rosens were touched by the pleasure their friends took while visiting Caramoor, and they decided to leave their home as a legacy for all to enjoy. It is thanks to the vision, energy, and estate planning of this inspirational couple that we enjoy Caramoor today. The Rosens had the forethought to make plans for Caramoor’s future, and we hope you will think of Caramoor when considering your future. We would be so honored if you would consider adding us to your estate plans

and joining with the Rosens in growing your legacy. You can help ensure a bright future for Caramoor. Generosity comes in many forms, and it is often the best way for you to support causes that matter the most to you. When you give to Caramoor, you help us to make a difference. One long-term way is to Leave a Gift in Your Will. If this is appealing, please contact us for suggested language to review with your attorney and/or financial planners. When you have made these arrangements, please let us know you have done so. We will be happy to welcome you to our Encore Society with other like-minded Caramoor donors.

If you would like more information about planned giving at Caramoor, or to notify us of your intention to include Caramoor in your estate planning, please contact Nina Curley, VP/ Chief Development Officer, at nina@ caramoor.org or call 914.232.3681. 19 / Caramoor
