Welcome to Symphony Center, home of the great Chicago Symphony Orchestra. As one who has advo cated for the preservation of culture and championed music as a universal language all my life, nothing pleases me more than to see you at concerts before this orchestra that has given beauty and cultural enrichment to generations.

From start to finish, this season includes music of personal significance. When I first led the CSO, at the Ravinia Festival in 1973, it was in Mussorgsky’s Pictures from an Exhibition, a work we revisit this October. At that first con cert, the Orchestra made a profound impression on me, as I realized it was an ensemble without limits. I am grateful to the musicians of all the orches tras that I have conducted around the world, but the CSO is truly unique and continues to amaze me. The way the musicians have responded to my musi cal ideas and sense of family that we immediately created together is what inspired me to accept this prestigious commitment. We love each other very much, and the years have gone by very, very fast.

We close the season with Beethoven’s Missa solemnis, which I have often compared to Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel—not only for its monumentality but also as a symbol of our humanity approaching the divine. Perhaps it is more than a coincidence that my first score to Missa solemnis is dated 1973, the same year I was introduced to this great orchestra.

I look forward to all the music we will make together and to feeling your presence at concerts throughout the season.

Riccardo Muti Zell Music Director Chicago Symphony Orchestra

from the chair and the president

It is our pleasure to welcome you to Symphony Center for the opening weeks of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s 132nd season.

This season pays tribute to Riccardo Muti as we cele brate his artistry, which has profoundly moved audiences during his past twelve seasons as music director. During the week of concerts, Muti conducts the U.S. premiere of a rediscovered work by composer Samuel ColeridgeTaylor and marks his 500th concert with the CSO since his debut at the Ravinia Festival in 1973. The following week, Maestro Muti and the CSO mark seventy years since the death of Sergei Prokofiev, a composer who has a special history with the Orchestra, in performances of his Symphony no. 5. For his third subscription program, Muti conducts Franck’s Le chasseur maudit and Mussorgsky’s Pictures from an Exhibition, which he conducted on his debut concert with the CSO. Yefim Bronfman joins Muti and the CSO during the opening concerts and Symphony Ball, perform ing as soloist in Brahms’s Piano Concerto no. 1 and Mozart’s Piano Concerto no. 22, respectively.

This fall, the CSO is joined by esteemed guest conductors including Constantine Kitsopoulos, Christian Thielemann, Xian Zhang, Edward Gardner, Harry Bicket, and Manfred Honeck. Violinist Christian Tetzlaff, pianist Simon Trpčeski, and cellist Gautier Capuçon are featured soloists. In October, there are four performances of the 1984 Academy Award–winning film Amadeus with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, and we are pleased to welcome the Joffrey Ballet to Orchestra Hall for three performances, including the world premieres of two ballets. In addition, the CSO returns to Wheaton College in November. Marking both the start of the twenty-fifth season of CSO MusicNOW and its return to Symphony Center, Mead Composer-in-Residence Jessie Montgomery and musicians from the CSO perform two concerts of contemporary works this fall.

The Symphony Center Presents season opens its Jazz series with pianist and composer Chucho Valdés in La Creación (The Creation), an SCP co-commission for big band, Afro-Cuban percussion, and vocals. Next, violinist Midori and pia nist Jean-Yves Thibaudet perform a duo recital to begin the SCP Chamber Music series, while David Fray launches the SCP Piano series with works by Schubert and Liszt. A highlight of the season is the return of the Berliner Philharmoniker, conducted by Kirill Petrenko, for its first appearance in Chicago since 2009.

We look forward to seeing you at many concerts in the season ahead and remain grateful for your support of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association.

“Like no other conductor I’ve worked with, Maestro Muti has an incredible ability to show us with his conducting exactly what we need when we need it. He doesn’t waste gestures when we’re in a groove, but we can always count on his help through difficult transitions or while performing unfamiliar pieces.”

Susan Synnestvedt Violin

What is it like to be conducted by Riccardo Muti? To answer this, members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra would argue they have the best seat in the house.

As part of an ongoing series, CSO musicians reflect on the artistry, experience, and myriad qualities Riccardo Muti has contributed since becoming music director in 2010. Here, musicians share insights on aspects of their unique artistic partnership with the maestro and his remarkable style of leadership on and off the podium.

“ The Muti/CSO partnership has certainly blossomed over time, but an extraordinary magical musical connection was obvious on day one.”

“As a member of the CSO woodwind section, I want to shed light on a wonderful fact. Maestro Muti has appointed many of us—all of the principal winds as well as section members— and because of his love and commitment to the ever-growing talent of this orchestra, he leaves us with a great sense of pride as we will always strive to be one of the greatest orchestras in the world. His trust in us speaks volumes to his legacy and his incredible dedication to choosing great musicians to carry the torch for generations to come.”

Stephen Williamson Principal Clarinet

“Maestro Muti is the most trusted conductor that we collaborate with because he is always prepared, knowing what he is asking us to do, and how to gesture to get the desired outcome. He also expects the best of us in rehearsal and concert.”

Mark Ridenour Assistant Principal Trumpet

“ We are very sensitive to his gestures and facial expressions. From the moment he walks onto the podium, we have a sense of how the performance might go, but with us, he always becomes calm, content, and energetic. His mood gets lighter during the concert, although he’s tough when he hears or sees something that should not happen. We like to please his good taste.”

Mihaela Ionescu Violin

“Maestro Muti tenaciously insists on constantly deepening our dedication to artistic discipline and refinement. Dolce, cantabile, and sostenuto are integral elements of a truly great ensemble that keep the CSO in the vanguard of the world’s elite symphony orchestras.”

Michael Mulcahy Trombone

”

“Maestro Muti‘s consistent drive for excellence and the highest standard of music coincide with his generosity, humanity, and true love and care for the members of the Chicago Symphony and their families. One of the things that has impressed me about Maestro Muti beyond his capabilities and expertise on the podium is his kindness and compassion as a human being and family man. From the time he started and his wife Cristina bounced my eighteenmonth-old on her lap, he has consistently inquired, ‘How are the bambini?,’ wanting to know if they’re coming to concerts and for them to come and say, ‘hello.’

Wendy Koons Meir Violin

“His unique personality has been the perfect match, in addition to his exquisite conducting and inspirational leadership of one of the most iconic orchestras in the world. I feel extremely lucky to be able to share the stage with him and to learn from his unique spirit. Without any doubt, he will always be ‘The Maestro’ for me.”

“Maestro Muti quickly realized that his musicians not only understood him but also greatly appreciated his musicianship, and hence were open to his leadership. This has resulted in growth in the performance level of the Orchestra. Now we can quickly understand the musical language of composers from Mozart to Verdi to Varèse.”

“I joined the Chicago Symphony in 1962 and have had the immense honor and privilege of performing under some of the world’s most brilliant and acclaimed conductors. It is my humble opinion that Maestro Muti is ‘NONPAREIL.’ Maestro Muti’s extraordinary combination of musicianship, humanity, and artistic vision makes every concert he conducts a truly remarkable occasion. He has taken the Orchestra to new heights and has given the city of Chicago an invaluable gift.”

Lynne Turner Harp

“Maestro Muti has come to enjoy friendships with each member of the Orchestra. These are friendships based on the joy of making music together. We collaborate with him in the most collegial manner. He loves being with all musicians, sharing stories and experiences that enhance our relationship to him.”

Michael Henoch* Assistant Principal Oboe The Gilchrist Foundation Chair

“He genuinely cares about doing justice to this music, getting to the depth of it rather than just an on-the-surface, generic interpretation. That is really inspiring to see and to be a part of.”

Prelude to Act 3 of Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg

Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg has always stood apart from the rest of Wagner’s output because it is, on the surface, a comic opera; it warrants comparison with few other comic operas beyond those of Mozart because it is essentially so serious and moving. The American composer and critic Virgil Thomson said that “it is all direct and human and warm and sentimental and down-to-earth. It is unique among Wagner’s theatrical works in that none of the characters takes drugs or gets mixed up with magic.”

Wagner wrote Die Meistersinger in a slump, financially and emotionally. After having abandoned work on the Ring—the greatest undertaking of his career, with little hope of ever getting it on the stage—he turned out two enormously successful masterpieces, Tristan and Isolde (arguably the most important score of that masterpiece-packed century) and Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg. Die Meistersinger tells the story, in Thomson’s words, of a “never-never land where shoemakers give vocal lessons, where presidents of music societies offer their daughters as prizes in musical contests, and

In September 1995, Sir Georg Solti (then music director laureate) led the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Chorus, and soloists in concert performances of Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg in Orchestra Hall. The subsequent London Records release won the 1997 Grammy Award—Solti’s thirty-first—for Best Opera Recording.

where music critics believe in the rules of composition and get mobbed for preferring young girls to young composers.” Despite all the shenanigans and frivolity, Die Meistersinger includes some of Wagner’s most deeply touching music. “I laugh and cry while writing it,” Wagner himself said, and many listeners since have responded similarly.

The prelude to the third act finds Hans Sachs, Wagner’s wise shoemaker, in his workshop, lost in thought. It is the morning of the great singing contest that will determine the fate of the main characters in Wagner’s comedy. This is interior music, measured and contemplative—in contrast to the expansive and grandiloquent outdoor music for the public festivities at which the prize is awarded that will

bring Die Meistersinger to an end. The opening theme of the act 3 prelude, a broad cello melody that soon leaps to the other strings, first appeared in act 2, as a countermelody to one of Sachs’s great outpourings. The solemn chorale that follows, intoned first by the horns and bassoons, will become the hymn the villagers sing to honor Sachs at the opera’s conclusion. As Wagner’s work on Die Meistersinger progressed, the figure of Hans Sachs came more and more to embody Wagner’s own thoughts. This prelude might almost reflect a portrait of the composer in his own study—in 1866, as the opera neared completion, Wagner wrote to King Ludwig: “I am sitting here in my lonely lakeside fortress like Sachs in his cobbler’s shop, observing the world with a view to writing poetry and music about it.”

béla bartók

Born March 25, 1881; Nagyszentmiklós, Transylvania (now part of Romania) Died September 26, 1945; New York City

Violin Concerto No. 2

This used to be known as the Bartók violin concerto. In August 1936, when Zoltán Székely asked Bartók to compose a violin concerto for him, he had no idea that Bartók had already written one nearly thirty years before. When Bartók died in 1945, nearly seven years after Székely gave the premiere of this concerto, the earlier score was still unknown, and so the later work took its place in the final tally of Bartók’s output as his only violin concerto. But in 1956, the manuscript of Bartók’s early violin concerto, written for his first great love, violinist Stefi Geyer, surfaced, shedding new light on Bartók’s personal life and revising the catalog of his works in the process.

Three decades—and a lifetime of writing music and working with musicians—sepa rate Bartók’s two violin concertos. In 1907, when Bartók composed the first one, he was twenty-six and full of promise; he hadn’t yet written any of the music for which he is famous today. In 1937, when he began his second, he was at the peak of his considerable powers. He had composed two important piano concertos; brilliant works for the stage, including the opera Bluebeard’s Castle and the pantomime The Miraculous Mandarin; and a series of string quartets that redefined the form. And, when Székely proposed the idea of a new concerto, Bartók was putting the finishing touches on another pioneering score, the Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta.

The musical climate had changed radically in those thirty years as well. Bartók’s first violin

concerto predates Schoenberg’s first fully atonal music and Stravinsky’s breakthrough with The Rite of Spring. By the mid-1930s, Schoenberg was single-mindedly devoted to his newly created twelve-tone system, and Stravinsky was enjoying the stylistic games of his neoclassical phase—he began his Beethovenian Symphony in C, in honor of the Chicago Symphony’s fiftieth anniversary, while Bartók was writing his new violin concerto. (And in the meantime, the entire career of Alban Berg, who gave the twentieth century a handful of its greatest masterworks, had come and gone.)

Less than a month after Székely first suggested the idea of a violin concerto, Bartók asked his publisher to send him some recent examples—he wanted to see firsthand how the landscape had changed since his earlier work, and, in a sense, judge what was still left to be said in the form before he committed to the project. (Universal Editions mailed him violin concertos by Berg, Weill, and Szymanowski.) It was another year before he started work on the piece, scribbling two themes on the back of a page of his nearly finished Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion sometime in August 1937. When Székely visited him at the end of September, Bartók had already written out the first two pages of the violin part, and the two played through them together—Székely discovering his new concerto on the spot; Bartók suggesting the orchestral music at the piano. The concerto wasn’t finished for another year, and in March 1939, Székely and Bartók got together again, this time in Paris, for several days of rehearsing—and in the process—revising the score. (This is when Bartók added the two quick upbeat notes to the broad, singing main theme.)

Székely and Bartók had known each other since the early 1920s. They frequently played chamber music together, and in 1928 Bartók dedicated his Second Violin Rhapsody to his friend. In 1935, Székely founded the Hungarian String Quartet, which performed Bartók’s quartets with rare understanding and

passion. Although Bartók didn’t play the violin himself (he was a formidable pianist), he wrote magnificent, challenging, yet idiomatic music for the instrument. In his string quartet cycle, he showed that the violin was a perfect vehicle for his great flights of invention. With the new violin concerto, he gave the instrument one of its greatest and most demanding solo roles.

Bartók’s original plan was to write a big, one-movement set of variations, but Székely wanted a bona fide three-move ment concerto, like the great classics. Each got his wish—Székely his three movements, Bartók his variations, as the second of the three. (In addi tion, the third movement is essentially a variation on the material of the first.) The concerto is one of the first works to demonstrate the clarity and directness of Bartók’s late style, starting with the opening—a strong, folklike melody over plain, shifting chords. The first movement is a grand rhapsody. With its expansive, evolving theme and elastic tempo—Bartók adjusts the speed every

few measures—it sounds almost improvisatory. Of course, it is all meticulously worked out, including the written-down cadenza that begins, just before the orchestra drops out, with the soloist playing pitch-bending quarter tones.

In the central Andante tranquillo, Bartók writes the most formal set of variations of his career. The theme is simplicity itself—a haunted tune accompanied by low strings, harp, and timpani. In the six variations that follow, the theme is elaborated, growing not just more florid but also more aggressive and discordant, and then stripped to its essence, before taking off again into new flights of fancy.

The finale, which begins like a bold dance, takes many of its ideas from the first movement, but continuously reinvents them. Originally, Bartók had the solo part drop out twenty-six measures before the end of the piece, but Székely wanted it to finish “like a concerto, not like a symphony,” and so Bartók rewrote the conclusion so that everyone plays together to the last measure.

BÉLA BARTÓK AND THE CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra presented the U.S. premiere of Béla Bartók’s Second Piano Concerto on March 2, 1939, in Orchestra Hall. Twenty-five-year-old Storm Bull—who was, for three years, a student of the composer in Budapest—was the soloist, and second music director Frederick Stock conducted.

Two years later, on November 20 and 21, 1941, Bartók—in his only appear ances with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra— performed his Second Piano Concerto, also under Stock. Edward Barry in the Chicago Tribune reported that the concerto was . . . easier on second hearing. . . . We were impressed by the concerto’s enormous rhythmic

vigor, the consummate skill with which the com poser handles its shifting harmonic background, the challenging way in which dynamic extremes are used, and the frequent emergence of perfectly clear and meaningful melodies. Mr. Bartók softened some of the concerto’s severity and played down its extreme percussiveness. Much of the performance was sensuously beautiful.

Fritz Reiner, who would serve as the CSO’s sixth music director from 1953 until 1962, was a student of Bartók and an early champion of his music. Reiner conducted the U.S. premiere of the First Piano Concerto with the composer at the keyboard, at Carnegie Hall, during Bartók’s first U.S. tour in February 1928. He also led Bartók’s final public performance in January 1943 in the Concerto for Two Pianos, again at Carnegie Hall, with the composer’s wife Ditta at the second piano. Sir Georg Solti, eighth CSO music director from 1969 to 1991, also studied with Bartók, his compatriot, at the Franz Liszt Academy in Budapest in the late 1920s.

Symphony No. 5 in D Major

Very early in the twentieth century, Ralph Vaughan Williams began to attract attention as a composer of tuneful songs. But he eventually declared himself a symphonist, and over the next few years— the time of La mer, Pierrot lunaire, and The Rite of Spring—that tendency alone branded him as old-fashioned. His first significant large-scale work, the Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis, composed in 1910, is indebted to the music of his sixteenth-century predecessor and to the great English tradition. His entire upbringing was steeped in tradition—he was related both to the pottery Wedgwoods and Charles Darwin. (“The Bible says that God made the world in six days,” his mother told him. “Great Uncle Charles thinks it took longer: but we need not worry about it, for it is equally wonderful either way.”) He became a serious student of English folk song and edited The English Hymnal.

In 1908, at the age of thirty-five, Vaughan Williams took some time off from composing to study with Ravel, gaining, as a result, immeasurably in his understanding of color and sonority, yet always maintaining—even sharpening—his own personal style. Years later, Ravel would call him “the only one of my pupils who does not write my music.” In fact, Vaughan Williams was one of the first composers in the twentieth century who managed to forge a strong personal style almost exclusively from the materials of the past. “My advice to young composers,” he wrote, “is learn your own language first, find out your own traditions, discover what you want to do.”

By 1934, following the deaths of Elgar, Holst, and Delius—all within a few months of each other—Vaughan Williams came to represent the end of the line, at least for English music. He continued to compose in his signature style, with its firm reliance on tonality and its fondness for conventional forms. In a career that lasted more than fifty years, from the Tallis Fantasy to the last of his nine symphonies in 1957, Vaughan Williams’s language remained remarkably stable, impervious to the continual winds of revolution. Despite his conviction that “the composer must not shut himself up and think about art; he must live with his fellows and make his art an expression of the whole life of

the community,” Vaughan Williams eventually became something of a lone figure in modern music—a preserver of tradition who managed to brilliantly transcend the limited genre of the staunch conservative.

Vaughan Williams’s nine symphonies, which span nearly fifty years of his career, form an unusual and distinctive expansion of the great nineteenth-century tradition. The first, A Sea Symphony, premiered in 1910—just five weeks after the Tallis Fantasy—sets words by Walt Whitman and is more cantata than symphony. It was followed four years later by A London Symphony, his first purely orchestral symphony, a kind of tone poem in four parts devoted to the composer’s adopted hometown. (It was originally begun as a symphonic poem.) Vaughan Williams’s third essay in the form, the Pastoral Symphony, begun in 1916, when he was in France with the Royal Army Medical Corps, is haunted not by the genial landscape of Beethoven’s Pastoral, but by the battle-scarred fields of wartime France. (The finale, crowned by the sound of the soprano voice, singing wordlessly from offstage, finds hope and peace.) Vaughan Williams completed his Pastoral in 1921; it was a full decade before he began a new symphony. Symphony no. 4, composed in the early 1930s, was so unexpectedly fierce and aggressive, so uncharacteristically confrontational, that it was quickly interpreted as a bleak statement about the state of the world. Vaughan Williams’s friends even tried to persuade him to entitle it “Europe 1935,” after the year of its premiere. “I wrote it not as a definite picture of anything external,” the composer said in defense, “but simply because it occurred to me like this.” It was Ursula Vaughan Williams, the composer’s wife, who saw what no one else seemed to notice—how closely it reflected Vaughan Williams’s own character: “The towering furies of which he was capable, his fire, pride, and strength are all revealed and so are his imagination and lyricism.”

Although Vaughan Williams would write five more symphonies, it was his next, the Symphony no. 5, which stands at the summit of his achievement. It has sometimes been viewed as a rebuttal

to the defiant Fourth Symphony, but it is really an outgrowth and a refinement of that career-altering work, and it sums up much of what he had accomplished to date as a symphonic composer. It also does represent a shifting of gears, because for the first time Vaughan Williams channeled his dream of writing an opera based on The Pilgrim’s Progress into purely orchestral music.

Vaughan Williams had been fixated on the idea of writing a musical setting of John Bunyan’s late seventeenth-century religious novel from the beginning of his career. He began an opera— or “morality” as he preferred to call it—on the Bunyan allegory at least as early as 1906 and worked on it in fits and starts throughout the 1920s and early 1930s. But by the late 1930s, he was apparently convinced that, despite his obsession with the subject and the large amount of music he had already written, the work would never be finished. Sometime in 1938, when Vaughan Williams began his Fifth Symphony, he decided to use substantial sections from the unfinished Pilgrim’s Progress, in the process transforming music that otherwise might have gone to waste into prime symphonic material.

The symphony begins with a pair of horns in D major entering over a low C, a haunting and ambiguous opening that suggests, from the start, that the beauty of Vaughan Williams’s symphony will be in its struggle. For a while, the music switches continually between C and D, and between major and minor. Vaughan Williams quotes from “For All the Saints,” one of the four original hymns he contributed to The English Hymnal in 1906. (We are now in E major.) The movement continues in its shifting, unpredictable course, leading eventually to what appears to be an ending in bright G major, but finally ending as uncertainly as it began. (In the last bars, the violas and cellos play C and D together.)

The second-movement scherzo alternates between quiet anxiety and rich, lush melody. Here, as in the first movement, the harmonies are often modal, recalling the old English music Vaughan Williams loved and also lending

another layer of ambiguity to the symphony, as it switches in and out of harmonic focus.

When the symphony was first performed, Vaughan Williams openly admitted its substantial debt to the unfinished Pilgrim’s Progress, but he insisted that the slow movement, a broad and lyrical romanza, provided the only dramatic connection to the Bunyan allegory. He even wrote a passage taken from Bunyan into his manuscript at the top of the Romanza: “Upon this place stood a cross, and a little below a sepulcher. Then he said: ‘He hath given me rest by his sorrow, and life by his death.’” (The inscription was not included in the printed score.) In the opera, those words are given to the same poignant melody the english horn plays to launch this movement.

As in the Fourth Symphony by Brahms, another lover of music from earlier times, Vaughan Williams’s finale is designed like a baroque passacaglia—a series of variations over a repeated bass. This is music of surpassing certainty and resolution. The supremacy of D major is indisputable, and the shadows of the old modal harmonies have been banished. The D major

horn music from the first page of the symphony returns unchallenged. Vaughan Williams quotes another hymn tune, “All Creatures of Our God and King.” The final pages bring relief, serenity, and peace.

Footnotes. Vaughan Williams dedicated this symphony “without permission and with the sincerest flattery to Jean Sibelius, whose great example is worthy of imitation” (in the published score that was simplified to “Dedicated without permission to Jean Sibelius”). Sibelius heard the work for the first time in November 1946, when it was performed in Helsinki. Vaughan Williams eventually returned to work on The Pilgrim’s Progress and completed the score in 1949, more than four decades after his first sketches. The premiere was given at Covent Garden in London on April 26, 1951. Finally, Vaughan Williams’s first name is pronounced Rafe. “Any other pronunciation used to drive him mad,” Ursula said.

Phillip Huscher has been the program annotator for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra since 1987.

Edward Gardner Conductor

Edward Gardner is principal conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra and chief conductor of the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, a position he relinquishes at the end of the 2023–24 season. In August 2024, he assumes the music directorship of the Norwegian Opera and Ballet, having begun the role of artistic advisor in February 2022.

During the 2022–23 season, Gardner leads the London Philharmonic in celebrating its ninetieth anniversary. He opened the season with Schoenberg’s Gurrelieder, and further highlights include works by Stravinsky, Elgar, Berlioz, Mahler, and Janáček. In addition, he premieres works by Mark Simpson, the LPO’s Composerin-Residence Brett Dean, Vijay Iyer, and Agata Zubel, and tours with the LPO within the United Kingdom and Benelux, and in Germany.

Gardner opened the Bergen Philharmonic season with Beethoven’s Symphony no. 3 (Eroica) and notable works by Stravinsky, Brahms, and Nielsen. Choral projects consist of Mahler’s Symphony no. 2 (Resurrection) and a staged performance of Wagner’s Parsifal, for which the BPO is joined by the Edvard Grieg, Bergen Philharmonic, and Collegium Musicum choirs. Following recent tours, the orchestra looks forward to touring projects in Germany and Belgium.

In demand as a guest conductor, Edward Gardner revisits the Cleveland Orchestra and leads the Staatskapelle Berlin in its summer concert. The previous two seasons included debuts with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra,

New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra, and the Vienna Symphony. He also continued his longstanding collaborations with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, where he was principal guest conductor from 2010 to 2016.

Following the announcement of Gardner’s appointment at Norwegian Opera and Ballet, the 2022–23 season sees him conduct a new production of Verdi’s Un ballo in maschera alongside concert performances of Berlioz’s The Damnation of Faust. He also leads the Norwegian National Opera Orchestra in works by Dvořák and Rachmaninov.

Music director of English National Opera for eight years (2007–15), Edward Gardner also has an ongoing relationship with New York’s Metropolitan Opera, where he has led productions of The Damnation of Faust, Bizet’s Carmen, Mozart’s Don Giovanni, Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier, and Massenet’s Werther.

In London, he has future plans with the Royal Opera House (Covent Garden), where he debuted in 2019 in a new production of Janáček’s Kát’a Kabanová. Last season, he made his Bavarian State Opera debut in a new production of Britten’s Peter Grimes.

A passionate supporter of young talent, Gardner founded the Hallé Youth Orchestra in 2002, and he regularly conducts the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain. He enjoys a close relationship with the Royal Academy of Music, which appointed him its inaugural Sir Charles Mackerras Conducting Chair in 2014.

Born in Gloucester, England, Edward Gardner was educated at the University of Cambridge and at the Royal Academy of Music in London. He went on to become assistant conductor of the Hallé and music director of Glyndebourne Touring Opera. His many accolades include being named Royal Philharmonic Society Award Conductor of the Year (2008) and receiving a Laurence Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Opera (2009) and an Order of the British Empire (OBE) for Services to Music in the Queen’s Birthday Honors (2012).

An artist known for his musical integrity, technical assurance, and compelling interpretations, Christian Tetzlaff is recognized as one of the most sought-after violinists on the classicalmusic scene.

Concerts with Tetzlaff often turn into an illuminating experience. In addition, he frequently turns his attention to forgotten masterpieces such as Joachim’s Violin Concerto or Viotti’s Violin Concerto no. 22. To broaden his repertoire, he commits himself to new works, such as Jörg Widmann’s Violin Concerto, which he premiered.

Throughout his career, Christian Tetzlaff has appeared with the world’s leading orchestras, collaborating with conductors including Sergiu Celibidache, Bernard Haitink, Christoph von Dohnányi, Lorin Maazel, Kurt Masur, and more recently David Afkham, Barbara Hannigan, Daniel Harding, Paavo Järvi, Vladimir Jurowski, Andris Nelsons, Sir Simon Rattle, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Robin Ticciati, and Michael Tilson Thomas.

Tetzlaff regularly performs with the orchestras of Chicago, Cleveland, Boston, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Pittsburgh in the United States, as well as with such European ensembles as the Berlin and Vienna philharmonics, London Symphony and London Philharmonic orchestras, Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra,

Dresden Staatskapelle, and the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam. He is also a guest at the world’s most prominent summer music festivals.

In the 2021–22 season, he served as artistin-residence at the Wigmore Hall in London. This season, he is a Portrait Artist with the London Symphony Orchestra. Additional highlights of his current season include appearances with the New York Philharmonic, London Philharmonic, Paris Chamber Orchestra, and the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra and a South American tour with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie.

Christian Tetzlaff also founded the Tetzlaff Quartet in 1994 with violinist Elisabeth Kufferath, violist Hanna Weinmeister, and his sister, cellist Tanja Tetzlaff. He also regularly toured as a trio with Tanja Tetzlaff and the late pianist Lars Vogt.

Christian Tetzlaff has received numerous awards for his discography, including the Diapason d’Or in 2018, the MIDEM Classical Award in 2017, and the German Record Critics’ Prize in 2015. The Tetzlaff Quartet received a Diapason d’Or in 2015, and a Tetzlaff Trio recording was nominated for a Grammy Award. Most recently, his disc of Bartók’s violin concertos with the Helsinki Philharmonic and Hannu Lintu was chosen as the Gramophone Concerto Recording of the Year. Of special signifi cance are his recordings of Bach’s unaccompanied sonatas and partitas, works that he recorded for the third time in 2017 for Ondine. A recording of the violin concertos by Beethoven and Sibelius with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin and Robin Ticciati was released on Ondine in 2019, followed by the concertos of Brahms and Berg with the same forces.

Born in Hamburg, Germany, and now living in Berlin with his wife, the photographer Giorgia Bertazzi, and their three children, Tetzlaff made his concert debut in Beethoven’s Violin Concerto at the age of fourteen. He attributes the way he learns and performs to his teacher UweMartin Haiberg at the conservatory in Lübeck, for whom musical interpretation was the key to violin technique.

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently hailed as one of the world’s leading orchestras, and in September 2010, renowned Italian conductor Riccardo Muti became its tenth music director. During his tenure, the Orchestra has deepened its engagement with the Chicago community, nurtured its legacy while supporting a new generation of musicians and composers, and collaborated with visionary artists.

The history of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra began in 1889, when Theodore Thomas, then the leading conductor in America and a recognized music pioneer, was invited by Chicago businessman Charles Norman Fay to establish a symphony orchestra here. Thomas’s aim to build a permanent orchestra with performance capabilities of the highest quality was realized at the first concerts in October 1891 in the Auditorium Theatre. Thomas served as music director until his death in January 1905—just three weeks after the dedication of Orchestra Hall, the Orchestra’s permanent home designed by Daniel Burnham.

Frederick Stock, recruited by Thomas to the viola section in 1895, became assistant conductor in 1899 and succeeded the Orchestra’s founder. His tenure lasted thirty-seven years, from 1905 to 1942—the longest of the Orchestra’s music directors. Dynamic and innovative, the Stock years saw the founding of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, the first training orchestra in the United States affiliated with a major symphony orchestra, in 1919. Stock also established youth auditions, organized the first subscription concerts especially for children, and began a series of popular concerts.

Three eminent conductors headed the Orchestra during the following decade: Désiré Defauw was music director from 1943 to 1947, Artur Rodzinski assumed the post in 1947–48, and Rafael Kubelík led the ensemble for three seasons from 1950 to 1953. The next ten years belonged to Fritz Reiner, whose recordings with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra are still considered performance hallmarks. It was Reiner who invited Margaret Hillis to form the Chicago Symphony Chorus in 1957. For the five seasons from 1963 to 1968, Jean Martinon held the position of music director.

Sir Georg Solti, the Orchestra’s eighth music director, served from 1969 until 1991. His arrival launched one of the most successful musical partnerships of our time, and the CSO made its first overseas tour to Europe in 1971 under his direction, along with numerous award-winning recordings. Solti then held

the title of music director laureate and returned to conduct the Orchestra for several weeks each season until his death in September 1997.

Daniel Barenboim was named music director designate in January 1989, and he became the Orchestra’s ninth music director in September 1991, a position he held until June 2006. His tenure was distinguished by the opening of Symphony Center in 1997, highly praised operatic productions at Orchestra Hall, numerous appearances with the Orchestra in the dual role of pianist and conductor, twenty-one international tours, and the appointment of Duain Wolfe as the Chorus’s second director.

Pierre Boulez’s long-standing relationship with the Orchestra led to his appointment as principal guest conductor in 1995. He was named Helen Regenstein Conductor Emeritus in 2006, a position he held until his death in January 2016. Only two others have served as principal guest conductors: Carlo Maria Giulini, who appeared in Chicago regularly in the late 1950s, was named to the post in 1969, serving until 1972; Claudio Abbado held the position from 1982 to 1985. From 2006 to 2010, Bernard Haitink was the Orchestra’s first principal conductor. Cellist Yo-Yo Ma served as the CSO’s Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant from 2010 to 2019. Hilary Hahn became the CSO’s first Artist-in-Residence in 2021, a role that brings her to Chicago for multiple residencies each season.

Jessie Montgomery was appointed Mead Composer-in-Residence in 2021. She follows ten highly regarded composers in this role, including John Corigliano and Shulamit Ran—both winners of the Pulitzer Prize for Music. In addition to composing works for the CSO, Montgomery curates the contemporary MusicNOW series.

The Orchestra first performed at Ravinia Park in 1905 and appeared frequently through August 1931, after which the park was closed for most of the Great Depression. In August 1936, the Orchestra helped to inaugurate the first season of the Ravinia Festival, and it has been in residence nearly every summer since.

Since 1916, recording has been a significant part of the Orchestra’s activities. Releases on CSO Resound, the Orchestra’s independent recording label, include the Grammy Award–winning release of Verdi’s Requiem led by Riccardo Muti. Recordings by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus have earned sixty-three Grammy awards from the Recording Academy.
