ROGER KALIA CONDUCTOR

Described as a conductor who exhibits “admirable ability and flexibility” by The Herald Times and for bringing a “fresh view to classical music” by The Republic, Roger Kalia continues to make his mark as a rising young conductor. Mr. Kalia is the newly appointed Assistant Conductor of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra beginning in the 2013-14 season. In this position, he will conduct a variety of concerts including Family, Education, and Community run-out concerts while covering all classical subscription concerts for Maestro Christopher Warren-Green and guest conductors.

As a recipient of the BMI/Lionel Newman Conducting Scholarship and YMF Conducting Grant, Mr. Kalia recently completed his first season as Music Director of the Young Musicians Foundation Debut Orchestra of Los Angeles. Winner of YMF’s 2012 National Conductor Search, he follows in the footsteps of such illustrious conductors as Michael Tilson-Thomas, Andre Previn, and Myung Whun Chung.

Highlights of his first season included two world premieres, a fully- staged production of Stravinsky’s Histoire du Soldat with actor Jack Black at the LA County Museum of Art as part of their “Sundays Live” series, a unique multimedia presentation and performance of Ravel’s Mother Goose Suite and the orchestra’s debut performance at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels “Virgin of Guadalupe” Celebration, which was televised and streamed worldwide.

Mr. Kalia made his subscription debut with the Memphis Symphony Orchestra in October 2011 after winning Second Prize in their inaugural International Conducting Competition.

In recent seasons he has worked with orchestras and ensembles across North America and Europe including the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich, Danish National Symphony Orchestra, Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, Cabrillo Festival Orchestra, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, Orquestra de Cadaqués, Orchestra of Colours (Greece), Manhattan School of Music Symphony, Aspen Music Festival Orchestra, New York Youth Symphony, Festival Orchestra of Sofia, Houston Ballet Academy, Chelsea Symphony, Psappha New Music Ensemble, Bohuslav Martinu Philharmonic Orchestra, among others. As Music Director of the Lake George Music Festival, Mr. Kalia will conduct the Lake George (NY) Festival Orchestra this summer, a festival which will bring together over seventy musicians from such orchestras as the St. Louis Symphony, Atlanta Symphony, Dallas Symphony, Kansas City Symphony and the country’s premier conservatories.

Recipient of the 2013 Solti U.S. Career Assistance Award, Mr. Kalia was chosen by former New York Philharmonic Music Director Kurt Masur to participate in his weeklong Conducting Seminar at the Manhattan School of Music this past January.

He was also personally selected by David Zinman to conduct

the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich as part of his 2011 International Conducting Masterclass at the Zurich Festspiele. In 2011 Mr. Kalia was also awarded a Bruno Walter Conducting Scholarship to attend the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music where he studied with Marin Alsop and Gustav Meier. In 2010 Mr. Kalia was a Conducting Fellow at the American Academy of Conducting at the Aspen Music Festival, where he studied with Robert Spano, Hugh Wolff, and Larry Rachleff.

An enthusiastic advocate of contemporary music, Mr. Kalia served as Assistant Conductor of the acclaimed Indiana University New Music Ensemble from 2009-2011. Highlights of his tenure include conducting numerous world premieres by faculty and student composers such as PQ Phan, Chappell Kingsland, Eric Lindsay and Teddy Niedermaier as well as conducting the U.S. premiere of Tôn , , Thât Tiêt’s Vent de Printemps. In addition, he conducted on the first-ever Double Exposure project, a unique collaboration between composers and film students at Indiana University where live music is performed to silent films. With the YMF Debut Orchestra, Mr. Kalia has led premieres by Paul Chihara, Ed Shearmur, Francisco Cortes-Alvarez and Alex Wurman. The Debut Orchestra will commission a world premiere by Paul Dooley during the 2013-14 season, aided by a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts. He has also led world premieres

by Wang Lu with the Cabrillo Festival Orchestra and Lewis Forbes with the Psappha New Music Ensemble (Scotland). Of the Forbes, critic Gemma McGregor of the St. Magnus Festival Blog wrote, “Lewis used complex groupings and cross rhythms that propelled the players through the piece - fortunately Kalia was masterful in allowing it freedom but keeping it under control.”

A native of New York, Roger recently completed his work as a Doctoral Conducting Fellow and Associate Instructor of Orchestral Conducting at Indiana University. As Assistant Conductor of the IU Opera Theater, he assisted and conducted stagings of La Bohème, Candide, and Bolcom’s A View from the Bridge. From 2007-09, he was the Schissler Conducting Fellow at the University of Houston, where he earned his Master’s in Orchestral Conducting and was inducted into the Pi Kappa Lambda Music Honor Society.

Roger’s primary mentors include David Effron, Arthur Fagen, and Franz Anton Krager. Roger has undertaken additional studies with Franz Welser-Moest, David Zinman, Kurt Masur, Robert Spano, Marin Alsop, Hugh Wolff, Mei-Ann Chen, Gustav Meier, Larry Rachleff, and Murry Sidlin, among others.

PROGRAM NOTES

BY CHRISTINE WISCH Night on Bald Mountain (1867, 1886) Modest Mussorgsky (1839–1881) The mountain Mussorgsky depicts in this famous symphonic poem is a local mountain on which, according to Slavic folklore, the evening of St. John is celebrated in wild and grotesque manner by witches. According to Mussorgsky’s score, the music depicts a series of events in the following order: an assembly of chattering and gossiping witches, the cortège (funeral procession) of Satan, a black mass, and then the witches’ Sabbath. When the bells toll six, the evening is over, and the evil disperses. The version heard today was arranged by Mussorgsky’s colleague Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov, and it remains the most frequently-performed form of this piece.

Danse Macabre, Op. 40 (1874) Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921) In the nineteenth century, artists and intellectuals found themselves increasingly fascinated by death, and the topic permeated into all forms of art and literature. Saint-Saëns’s Danse Macabre is just one of many musical compositions to treat this idea. Saint-Saëns originally wrote the work for solo voice and piano, but two years later, he decided to expand the piece and turn it into a tone poem, a singlemovement composition written for orchestra that follows a program or evokes images in the audience’s mind. In Danse Macabre, Saint-Saëns depicts the evening of Halloween, a time when skeletons come out of their graves and dance until dawn. Listen carefully for the xylophone, whose percussive and hollow sounds mimic the rattling of bones.

Toccata & Fugue in D Minor, BWV 565 Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) While J.S. Bach composed a number of pieces that are widely recognizable by audiences today, few pieces have enjoyed such widespread popularity as his Toccata and Fugue, which has been featured in many films including Disney’s Fantasia (1940). Although the piece has become associated with the morose and frightening in popular culture, in its own time, it would have been understood simply as a piece to showcase the organ and its performer, and the piece carried no extra-musical associations.

Tonight’s version has been arranged for orchestra by American composer Sam Hyken.

Funeral March of a Marionette (1872) Charles Gounod (1818-1893) Like Saint-Saëns’s Danse Macabre, Gounod’s Funeral March of a Marionette began as a piece for solo piano and was later orchestrated in 1879. In popular culture, the piece is best known as the opening theme music for the television show Alfred Hitchcock’ Presents. Gounod’s piece tells the story of a marionette that dies from fighting in a duel and its subsequent funeral. According to the musical score, Gounod depicts the moment the marionette breaks, murmurs of regret from the troupe, the funeral procession, a quick stop for refreshments, and the troupe members’ return to the house.

17-F

“Red Cape Tango” from Metropolis Symphony (1988-93) Michael Daugherty (b. 1954) The last of American composer Michael Daugherty’s pieces based on the Superman mythology, “Red Cape Tango” reflects upon Superman’s fight to the death with Doomsday. To reference death, Daughtery incorporates a variation of the Latin chant Dies Irae, a sequence used in the Roman Catholic Requiem Mass. The piece also makes use of a tango rhythm and alternating articulations (legato and staccato) to suggest, in the words of the composer, “a musical bullfight.”

“Witch’s Ride” from Hansel and Gretel (1891-92) Engelbert Humperdinck (1854-1921) The origins of the well-known fairy tale of Hansel and Gretel date back to 1812, when the Brothers Grimm published their collection of stories. Humperdinck’s opera, which follows the fairy tale, tells the story of a young brother and sister who must save themselves from a witch who ultimately desires to eat them. Within the opera, “The Witch’s Ride” functions as an interlude that leads into the second act. Both excitement and terror can be heard in this orchestral gem.

“Hedwig’s Theme” from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001) John Williams (b. 1932) Composed mostly during the spring and summer of 2001, the music for Harry Potter and the Socerer’s Stone has enjoyed great popularity since the movie’s premiere. In composing the musical score, John Williams recalls that, ““I began writing Hedwig’s little piece, and each of the others followed quickly as they seemed to arrive all clamoring for their individual identities.” In this miniature, which has been excerpted and arranged from the movie score, Hedwig, Harry’s faithful messenger and pet owl, is depicted by a celesta, a percussive keyboard that has a sweet, soft, bell-like sound – a reflection of Hedwig’s physical appearance and personality.

“Infernal Dance” from The Firebird Suite (1917) Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) Stravinsky’s ballet and related orchestral suite The Firebird takes as its subject a magical glowing bird from Slavic folklore. The large bird is described as having feathers which give off red, orange, and yellow light similar to the flames of a fire. According to folklore, the bird is both a blessing and a curse to anyone who catches it. In the “Infernal Dance,” Stravinsky depicts a scene in which the Firebird casts a spell on the creatures of the evil sorcerer Kaschei the Immoral and causes them dance wildly and energetically.
