Welcome to our fall season!

Welcome to the 2022–23 season of the Charlotte Symphony!

The opening of a new season is always a cause for celebration and I’m so looking forward to sharing our amazing lineup of concerts with you.

For more than 90 years, this orchestra has been an integral part of the cultural fabric of Charlotte. Both onstage and off — in concert halls, classrooms, breweries, community centers, and care facilities — the Symphony’s amazing musicians are lifting spirits and inspiring our community through the exceptional power of live music.

This new season brings many outstanding artists to the Charlotte Symphony and explores some of the greatest music ever written — new and old! Everyone is welcome and there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

We’re also thrilled to be welcoming back the talented young musicians of our Youth Orchestras for another season of incredible music-making. Across Charlotte, students are gathering again as part of our Project Harmony after-school program and meeting with the Symphony’s dedicated musicians for one-on-one and ensemble instruction.

There are so many opportunities to come and hear us perform in the next few weeks. You can find us at MoRA’s historic dairy barn and silos for a free community concert sponsored by Lowe’s, we’ll celebrate the reigning divas of Soul and R&B at Queens of Soul, perform the best of Disney at Stanly County Agri-Civic Center, present a Spooktacular Halloween family concert, and welcome conductor Marcelo Lehninger to the stage for a thrilling performance of Beethoven’s Pastoral

I hope you’ll join us!

The CSO is

MORE THAN WHAT’S ONSTAGE.

Did you know that the Charlotte Symphony is much more than what you see on the Belk and Knight Theater stages?

Beyond the Classical, Pops, Family, and Movie Series in the theaters, we work to uplift, entertain, and educate our community through inclusive education programs and community performances.

• The CSO has three programs for young musicians: the Youth Orchestra, the Youth Philharmonic, and the Youth Ensemble. CSO musicians participate in coaching throughout the year, and even perform with the young musicians!

• Reaching approximately 15,000 students each season, we also have extensive school programs, including Project Harmony, “Music and the Holocaust,” and “One Musical Family” Education Concerts.

• We perform throughout the region, from community parks and schools to breweries, senior care centers, and places of worship all season long.

CSO is

FOR EVERYONE

Inbal Segev

cello

Inbal Segev is “a cellist with something to say” (Gramophone). Combining rich tone and technical mastery with rare dedication and intelligence, she has appeared with orchestras including the Berlin Philharmonic, London Philharmonic, Israel Philharmonic, Baltimore Symphony, St. Louis Symphony and Pittsburgh Symphony, collaborating with such prominent conductors as Marin Alsop, Stéphane Denève, Lorin Maazel, Cristian Măcelaru and Zubin Mehta. Committed to reinvigorating the cello repertoire, she has commissioned new works from Timo Andres, Avner Dorman, Gity Razaz, Dan Visconti and Anna Clyne. Recorded with Alsop and the London Philharmonic for Avie Records, Segev’s 2020 premiere recording of Clyne’s new cello concerto, DANCE, was an instant success, topping the Amazon Classical Concertos chart; its opening movement was chosen as one of NPR Music’s “Favorite Songs of 2020,” receiving more than 6.5 million listens on Spotify, and Segev has continued to tour extensively with the piece.

At the start of the pandemic, she launched “20 for 2020,” a commissioning, recording and video project featuring 20 cutting-edge composers, including John Luther Adams, Viet Cuong and Vijay Iyer, who is also writing a concerto for Segev to premiere next season. Her previous discography includes acclaimed recordings of the Elgar Cello Concerto, Romantic cello works, and Bach’s Cello Suites, while her popular YouTube masterclass series, Musings with Inbal Segev, has thousands of international subscribers and over two million views to date.

A native of Israel, Inbal Segev began playing the cello at the age of five. At 16 she was invited by Isaac Stern to the U.S., where she continued her cello studies with Aldo Parisot, Joel Krosnick, Harvey Shapiro and Beaux Arts Trio co-founder Bernard Greenhouse, earning degrees from Yale University and the Juilliard School. She also co-founded the Amerigo Trio with former New York Philharmonic concertmaster Glenn Dicterow and violist Karen Dreyfus.

born: March 9, 1980 in London, England ANNA CLYNE

PIVOT, for String Quintet & Orchestra (2013)

premiere: August 7, 2021 in Edinburgh, Scotland

PIVOT is inspired by my experiences at the Edinburgh Festival where I enjoyed an array of fantastic performances across the arts. It is this variety that I have tried to capture in PIVOT which, as the title suggests, pivots from one experience to another. The Pivot is also a former name of the 200-year-old folk music venue and pub in Edinburgh, The Royal Oak.

PIVOT quotes fragments of The Flowers of Edinburgh, a traditional fiddle tune of eighteenth century Scottish lineage that is also prominent in American fiddle music and thus bridges between Edinburgh and St. Louis, where this music was premiered. Thank you to Aidan O’Rourke for his guidance on folk fiddle bowings and ornaments, which are incorporated into PIVOT.

PROGRAM NOTES
Composer Anna Clyne

born: June 2, 1857 in Broadheath, England died: February 23, 1934 in Worcester, England

Cello Concerto in E minor Opus

premiere: October 27, 1919 in London, England

In the spring of 1918, following a long and painful illness finally diagnosed as tonsillitis, Edward Elgar underwent surgery. The composer’s daughter, Carice, recalled: “He was in a great deal of pain for several days; (there) were not anything like the sedatives that we have now, but nevertheless he woke up one morning and asked for pencil and paper.” Elgar then composed the first music he had written in nine months — a beautiful melody in 9/8 time. That fall, Alice Elgar noted that her husband was at work orchestrating the melody.

By the spring of the following year, Elgar devoted much time and attention to this music, which now took form as his Cello Concerto in E minor. On June 26, 1919, Elgar wrote to his friend, Sidney Colvin: “I am frantically busy writing & have nearly completed a Concerto for Violoncello — a real large work & I think good & alive.” Elgar later dedicated the Concerto to Sidney Colvin and his wife, Frances. Cellist Felix Salmond assisted Elgar in the composition of the solo part. In August, Elgar offered Salmond the opportunity to be the soloist in the Concerto’s world premiere, which took place at the Queen’s Hall in London on October 27, 1919. It was the opening of the London Symphony Orchestra’s first concert season following World War I. Albert Coates, the Orchestra’s new conductor, was scheduled to lead music by Wagner, Scriabin, and Borodin. Elgar would take the podium for the premiere of his Cello Concerto. Coates decided to devote virtually all of the allotted rehearsal time to the music he was conducting. As a result, the Concerto received a woefully inadequate performance.

In a review of the premiere of the Elgar Cello Concerto, the eminent British music critic, Ernest Newman, wrote: “never, in all probability, has so great an orchestra made so lamentable a public exhibition of itself.” Still, Newman was able to discern the considerable qualities of Elgar’s newest composition:

PROGRAM NOTES by Ken Metzer page 16
85 (1919)

“The work itself is lovely stuff, very simple — that pregnant simplicity that has come upon Elgar’s music in the last couple of years — but with a profound wisdom and beauty underlying its simplicity…the realization in tone of a fine spirit’s lifelong wistful brooding upon the loveliness of the earth.”

In time, the Elgar Concerto has become recognized as one of the 20th century’s finest works for cello and orchestra. Many have recognized the “profound wisdom” cited by Newman — however, they often attribute that wisdom to far less genial circumstances. Elgar composed the concerto after the devastation of World War I, and was all too aware of the effect “The War to End All Wars” had upon the world he knew and loved. As the composer wrote in 1917: “Everything good & nice & clean & sweet is far away—never to return.”

And perhaps Elgar sensed that his own life — at least as a composer — was reaching its final stages. In his catalogue of works, Elgar wrote the following next to the listing of his Cello Concerto: “FINIS R.I.P.” And after his beloved Alice’s death in 1920, Elgar was never the same. The Cello Concerto proved to be his last major work.

The Concerto is in four movements. After a slow-tempo introduction (Adagio), the violas introduce the melody Elgar composed during his recuperative period (Moderato). The second movement also opens with a slow-tempo introduction (Lento), resolving to music whose filigree orchestration and furtive energy are worthy of the finest Mendelssohn scherzos (Allegro molto). The third movement (Adagio) features an elegiac, wide-ranging melody, played molto espressivo by the soloist. The finale (Allegro; Moderato; Allegro, ma non troppo) ensues without pause. The music’s lively gait slows for a lengthy episode of extraordinary introspection and pathos. Echoes of the preceding Adagio add to the mood of resignation, as the music seems to fade to a conclusion. But a reprise of the Concerto’s formidable opening measures, followed by a brief restatement of the principal theme, leads to the terse resolution.

RICHARD STRAUSS

born: June 11, 1864 in Munich, Germany died: September 8, 1949 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany

Aus Italien (From Italy) Symphonic Fantasy (1886)

premiere: March 2, 1887 in Munich, Germany

From 1885 to the spring of 1886, Richard Strauss served as a conductor of the Meiningen Court Orchestra. Strauss’s next conducting appointment, at the Munich Court Opera, was scheduled to begin in August of 1886. Strauss, in part at the encouragement of Brahms, seized the opportunity to take a long-coveted journey to Italy. During the months of April and May, Strauss traveled throughout Italy, stopping in Bologna, Florence, Naples, Rome, Verona, and many other smaller cities.

Along the way, Strauss fell victim to petty theft, with losses including a leather suitcase (Naples), laundry (Rome), and his Baedeker travel guide (in a theater). Strauss wrote to his mentor, Hans von Bülow: “Such a bumbling German as I, not knowing a world of Italian and very little French, along and for the first time in Italy, quite overwhelmed by the magnificent landscape and art — such a fellow is an easy prey for the Italians…”

Still, the young Richard Strauss was captivated by the magic of Italy. In 1830, German composer Felix Mendelssohn, then 21 years old, begin his own journey to Italy. One of the products of that trip was Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 4, the “Italian” (1833). And in the tradition and spirit of his predecessor, Strauss (also 21 at the time of his Italian sojourn) offered his musical impressions of Italy in the fourmovement “Symphonic Fantasy” Aus Italien (From Italy).

Strauss conducted the premiere of Aus Italien in Munich on March 2, 1887. Strauss reported to friend: “Some applauded furiously. Others hissed energetically…I felt enormous pride: the first work which aroused the opposition of the multitude; it cannot be insignificant.” Aus Italien would soon be eclipsed by such Strauss orchestral masterpieces as Don Juan (1888), Death and Transfiguration (1889), and Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks (1895).

PROGRAM

Nevertheless, Strauss’s mastery of atmosphere and orchestral forces in Aus Italien anticipates those famous tone poems. Auf der Campagna (On the Campagna), Aus Italien’s magical opening movement depicts, according to Strauss, the mood he experienced when viewing the sundrenched Roman Campagna from the Villa d’Este at Tivoli. The second movement, In Roms Ruinen (In the Ruins of Rome), evokes: “Fantastic pictures of past splendor, feelings of nostalgia and pain in the midst of the sunniest present!” Am Strande von Sorrent (On the Beach at Sorrento) suggests various sounds of nature (leaves rustling in the wind, bird songs, the ocean’s roar), a distant song, and human reaction to it all. For the principal theme of the finale, Neapolitanisches Volksleben (Neapolitan Folk Life), Strauss quotes what he believed to be “a well-known Neapolitan folk song.” The melody is, in fact, Luigi Denza’s popular song Funiculì, Funiculà (1880). Denza sued Strauss for incorporating his song without permission, and prevailed. In any event, Strauss’s music recreates “the colorful hustle and bustle in a merry confusion of themes,” bringing Aus Italien to a rousing close.

Even as a young man, Richard Strauss achieved fame as a conductor as well as a composer. (photo diptych from The Orchestra and Its Instruments, 1917)
