Santa Barbara Symphony – Maestro’s Favorites

�� MUSIC PREVIEW �� Voice: How did it feel, achieving your ﬁrst conducting position with an American Orchestra (SBSO) in 2006? Nir Kabaretti: The model of a regional American orchestra was new to me when I started. For the ﬁrst time in my life I was working for an organization that doesn’t operate musically all year long; it has advantages and disadvantages. The experience for sure exceeded my expectations and things that we take almost for granted today, were quite a challenge a decade ago. Voice: What are your plans for the future, now you and your family are residing in Santa

Barbara and you are also working in Florida with the Southwest Florida Symphony? Is America still a destination gig for classical musicians? Kabaretti: I believe America is very attractive for a musician; it certainly is for me! Voice: Have you noticed any differences between classical music audiences in Florida and California? Kabaretti: I don’t see a difference between audiences. Actually, I think they have a lot in common. In both cities I meet people who tell me they grew up on the sounds of the orchestras of Chicago, New York, Cleveland, etc. I guess the majority of the people in the hall are not originally locals and chose both California and Florida in a later stage of their lives. Their expectations are that their local arts organizations meet the standard they grew up with.

Maestro Nir Kabaretti Celebrates His Tenth Season centers, which produce concerts, operas, ballets all under the same organization, while in America it is generally divided between different organizations. I don’t agree that the American tradition is in its infancy. The 20th century changed pretty radically the European hegemony in classical music. More leading composers settled in the USA, more important pieces were commissioned by American orchestras; the melting pot functioned very well in the arts and I believe the European musical tradition is very much part of the American scene. There are plenty of American musicians who work in Europe and vice verse – the enriching process is on both sides.

Voice: Your programming this weekend is quite traditional (Brahms, Wagner, Hummel). Is that about comfort programming for Maestro Nir Kabaretti your audience or is there Voice: How are things different something in your career in Europe? How hard has experience that makes these works special? it been, if at all, for you to transition from a European musical tradition of several hundred Kabaretti: Well, the concert is part of the entire years to an American tradition in classical music season puzzle. Our interest is to give variety; that is still in its infancy? to give the audience a different experience every concert. The Brahms and Wagner are Kabaretti: The main difference between Europe two pieces I conducted here ten years ago. and the USA is not on the artistic side, but rather The Brahms Symphony No. 2 was my audition the ﬁnancial structure. While the European arts piece in 2006, so a re-look at that after all the institutions depend on government funds, the changes we have had over the last years is for American orchestras are more “private” and sure, refreshing. I wanted to have a soloist from need to be more business oriented. And you our close SBSO family, which is why I chose our have the European city theaters, or musical

Principal Trumpet, Jon Ernest, who suggested the Hummel concerto. Voice: What would you recommend to your board at SBSO that would help the orchestra become one of the leading regional orchestras in America? Kabaretti: I would love to see the Symphony reaching out to other communities. Santa Barbara is blessed with so many high caliber performances by world-class orchestras and artists, and SBSO needs to ﬁnd its own identity, doing things that visiting orchestras wouldn’t do. We have a very strong and capable Symphony administration under Executive Director David Pratt. I think we work very well as a team and our goal is to enrich this community with great music making and music education. There are a few things on my bucket list, such as extending our artistic collaborations with other organizations and exploring other venues like the Santa Barbara Bowl to introduce other types of concerts like a Family and Pops series. I think that we are building a great ensemble! The Principal Concert Sponsor is The Samarkand; Artist Sponsors: Mosher Foundation, Montecito Bank & Trust; Selection Sponsor: John and Ruth Matuszeski This project is funded in part by the Organizational Development Grant Program using funds provided by the City of Santa Barbara in partnership with the Santa Barbara County Arts Commission. For tickets ($33 - $133) call 899-2222 or visit www.granadasb.org Daniel Kepl has been writing music, theatre, and dance reviews for Santa Barbara publications since he was a teenager. His professional expertise is as an orchestra conductor.
