a note from the chair and the president

Hello and welcome to Symphony Center. This spring brings to our stage some of the most exciting concert offerings of the season.

Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti conducts five weeks of subscription concerts in May and June and concludes the season with a Concert for Chicago at Millennium Park on June 27. The May 11–16 program features the world premiere of Mead Composer-in-Residence Jessie Montgomery’s Transfigure to Grace in addition to Rachmaninov’s Symphony no. 2 as part of a season-long exploration of the composer’s works 150 years after his birth. Next, Muti and the CSO explore works by Cimarosa and Mozart, including that composer’s Gran Partita for twelve wind instruments and bass and Violin Concerto no. 4 in D major with Concertmaster Robert Chen as soloist. Muti and the CSO’s final program in May includes Kraft’s Timpani Concerto no. 1 performed by CSO Principal Timpani David Herbert, Mozart’s Divertimento in F major, and Respighi’s Ancient Airs and Dances Suite no. 1 and Pines of Rome, one of the favorite works for the CSO-Muti tour de force.

When Maestro Muti returns in mid-June, he conducts Johann Strauss, Jr.’s Overture to Indigo and the Forty Thieves, Lalo Schifrin’s Tuba Concerto written for and performed by CSO Principal Tuba Gene Pokorny, and Schubert’s Great Ninth Symphony, another touchstone exemplifying the finest qualities of the CSO-Muti partnership. To conclude the season, Muti leads Beethoven’s monumental Missa solemnis—Muti has referred to it as the “Sistine Chapel of music” with the Orchestra and Chorus and an incredible cast of soloists.

Maestro Muti’s May and June Chicago residencies mark the conclusion of his extraordinarily successful thirteen-year term as tenth music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra since its founding in 1891. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, the CSOA Administration, and all of our affiliated volunteer organizations, we extend our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to him for his visionary artistic leadership, his meaningful and inspirational performances, and his unyielding dedication to arts education and community engagement. We are so pleased and grateful that he has agreed to continue to conduct the Orchestra in Chicago and on tour for many years to come. We look forward to every performance with great enthusiasm and anticipation!

Thank you for being with us today, and for your continued support!

A BRILLIANT LEGACY

RICCARDO MUTI TENTH MUSIC DIRECTOR OF THE CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

During his thirteen seasons as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s tenth music director, Riccardo Muti has made a lasting impact on the ensemble. His leadership has been distinguished by the strength of his artistic partnership with the Orchestra, his dedication to performing great works of the past and present, his role as a cultural ambassador at home and on national and international tours, and his invaluable contributions to Chicago’s artistic vitality that will last for generations to come. This timeline includes several highlights from his tenure.

2010–11

Muti begins his tenure as the CSO’s tenth music director by inaugurating a new tradition of annual, free community concerts with a September 19 performance at Millennium Park’s Pritzker Pavilion before a crowd of more than 25,000 people.

In April, Muti conducts concert performances of Verdi’s Otello in Chicago and at Carnegie Hall. Throughout the season, he presents works by other composers whose works he will champion throughout his tenure— Cherubini, Hindemith, Mozart, Prokofiev, Schumann, and Tchaikovsky, among others.

2011–12

Muti conducts a community concert at Apostolic Church of God in Chicago’s Woodlawn neighborhood to open the season before an overflow crowd.

“As much as he is a great musician, he is also a great humanitarian. He is compassionate not only in regard to social issues but also in the manner in which he treats people, which is always with respect and understanding.”

Stephen Lester Bass

Since June 2014, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s music director position has been entitled the Zell Music Director position, endowed in perpetuity through a generous gift from the Zell Family Foundation.

October 15, 2016

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is grateful to Bank of America for its generous support as the Maestro Residency Presenter.

Muti’s reverence for music written for orchestra and voice is on full display in performances of powerful choral works such as Orff’s Carmina Burana, Cherubini’s Requiem, and Schoenberg’s Kol Nidre.

Tours in North America and abroad introduces Muti as the CSO’s tenth music director to a global audience, with a pre-season tour to Salzburg, Paris, Lucerne, Vienna, and other European cities; winter concerts in California; and a historic six-city tour to Russia and Italy in April.

2012–13

Muti begins a new tradition of bringing music to local juvenile detention centers, with appearances at local facilities in the fall and spring.

Following performances in New York City to open Carnegie Hall’s season, Muti travels with the Orchestra on its first-ever tour to Mexico, with four sold-out concerts in Guanajuato and Mexico City.

2013–14

Muti opens the season with a community concert at Morton East High School in Cicero, Illinois.

Muti leads a three-week celebration of Verdi’s bicentennial, including concert performances of Macbeth, the release of Muti and the CSO’s 2011 live performances of Otello on CSO Resound, and Verdi’s Requiem in the CSO’s first-ever live webcast on October 10, the 200th anniversary of Verdi’s birth.

The Orchestra embarks on its fourth international tour with Muti, including the CSO’s debut in Gran Canaria and Tenerife as part of Spain’s Canary Island Music Festival.

“Maestro Muti understands the power of his voice and uses it courageously.”

2014–15

Muti leads season-long surveys of orchestral works by Scriabin and Tchaikovsky’s seven symphonies.

Muti and the CSO’s fifth tour of Europe marks the Orchestra’s debuts in Warsaw and Geneva in addition to capacity concerts at Vienna’s Musikverein, including two performances of Verdi’s Requiem.

2015–16

CSO Resound releases two recordings conducted by Muti: Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique and its sequel Lélio, ou le retour à la vie, narrated by actor Gérard Depardieu, and a digital release of Anthology of Fantastic Zoology, a CSO-commission dedicated to Muti by Mason Bates, who was one of Muti’s first Mead Composer-inResidence appointments.

Muti and the Orchestra mark their tenth tour with their first performances in Asia together, with sold-out concerts in five cities in Taiwan, Japan, China, and South Korea.

The New York Times declares Muti “the king of Verdi” during concert performances of Falstaff in April as part of the “Shakespeare 400 Chicago” celebration.

2016–17

Muti recreates the first CSO program from October 16 and 17, 1891, for a special Symphony Ball performance that concludes the Orchestra’s 125th anniversary celebration begun the prior season.

Muti conducts performance of Haydn’s The Seven Last Words of Our Savior on the Cross at Holy Name Cathedral with members of the CSO and Cardinal Blase J. Cupich, archbishop of Chicago.

Other highlights with Muti include a cycle of the symphonies of Brahms, Prokofiev’s Ivan the Terrible, and a season finale featuring overtures and choruses by Verdi as well as Boito’s Prologue to Mefistofele.

“No matter the situation, joyous or heartbreaking, Maestro Muti communicates his emotions to the audience, and helps them understand how the Orchestra is supporting them through our music.”

Susan Synnestvedt Violin

“I have appreciated it every time he has responded emotionally to the realities of our life here. He is not an American citizen, but a citizen of the world!”

2017–18

Muti leads ten weeks of subscriptions concerts, many including world famous artists such as Anne-Sophie Mutter playing violin concertos by Mozart and Tchaikovsky, Yo-Yo Ma performing Shostakovich’s Second Cello Concerto, and actor John Malkovich narrating Copland’s Lincoln Portrait.

Muti and the CSO commemorate the 150th anniversary of Rossini’s death in several memorable concerts, including performances of his Stabat mater with the Chicago Symphony Chorus and soloists.

Muti emphasizes the importance of new music through the premiere of numerous CSO commissions, including CSO viola Max Raimi’s Three Lisel Mueller Settings, Jennifer Higdon’s Low Brass Concerto, and works by the Mead Composers-in-Residence.

2018–19

Muti conducts a community concert again at Millennium Park with members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Civic Orchestra of Chicago performing side by side to mark the beginning of the centennial season of the Civic Orchestra and the CSO’s concerts for young people.

Muti opens the season with two weeks of subscription concerts that include Shostakovich’s Symphony no. 13 (Babi Yar), in the presence of his widow Irina Shostakovich, and Hindemith’s Mathis der Maler Symphony.

Muti brings the season to a triumphant close with three concert performances of Verdi’s Aida.

2019–20

Muti and the CSO begin a season-long celebration of the music of Beethoven to honor the 250th anniversary of the composer’s birth.

Muti leads a critically acclaimed cast of soloists and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in Mascagni’s Cavalleria rusticana, also a 2022 CSO Resound release.

“Maestro Muti is a world-class leader of the arts. His message is clear and, honestly, I feel a responsibility to uphold his ideals and somehow continue his legacy.”

Esteban Batallán Principal Trumpet

“Maestro Muti is committed to bringing the CSO to areas around Chicago that don’t normally get to hear classical music of the highest quality.”

Oto Carrillo Horn

During the COVID-19 closures, Muti offers artistic guidance for the twenty-two episodes of the streamed series CSO Sessions, in addition to offering coaching sessions, via Zoom, to members of the CSO on chamber music works by Rossini and to participants in the Chicago Musical Pathways Initiative.

2021–22

In September 2021, Muti returns to Chicago for the first time in 574 days for a moving reunion with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

With touring plans postponed, Muti returns to Chicago for a residency in January that includes two performances in community venues: Chodl Auditorium at Morton East High School and Apostolic Church of God.

Muti and the CSO perform the world premieres of CSO commissions by former and current Mead Composers-inResidence: Missy Mazzoli’s Orpheus Undone and Jessie Montgomery’s Hymn for Everyone. In addition, composer Philip Glass travels to Chicago to hear Muti and the Orchestra perform his Eleventh Symphony.

Muti conducts two performances in the spring that feature the full forces of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus plus soloists—Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and Verdi’s Un ballo in maschera.

2022–23

The concert on September 27 marks Muti’s 500th performance with the CSO since making his podium debut with the Orchestra at the Ravinia Festival in 1973.

The CSO resumes touring activities with a seven-city, eight-concert tour of North America, and additional concerts in Kansas City and Florida.

Muti concludes the season with Schubert’s Ninth Symphony, Beethoven’s Missa solemnis, and a final Concert for Chicago in Millennium Park on June 27.

“

There’s no mistaking Maestro Muti’s delight and satisfaction when engaging with the public at Millennium Park or community concerts throughout the region.”

Retired CSO Bass Joseph DiBello Donates his Rare Instrument to the CSO

Upon his retirement from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Joseph DiBello donated his rare bass to the ensemble, dedicating this generous gift to Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti. An unknown maker of the Brescian School crafted the bass, ca. 1750, and DiBello performed on the instrument, which he purchased in 1979, for more than four decades. You can hear Principal Bass Alexander Hanna play it at current concerts, and it will remain a treasured part of the CSO for generations to come.

“The CSO was my life over the years, and it was one of the great things that’s ever happened to me,” said DiBello in a recent interview. “I felt so honored to be able to play in such a great orchestra with so many wonderful musicians.”

When Riccardo Muti became the CSO’s tenth music director in 2010, DiBello was thrilled. “Not only was I a great fan of the maestro; we also shared ethnicity, which I was very proud of,” he

said. The two developed a friendship over the years, which inspired DiBello’s gift in his honor.

“I’ll never forget recording Giuseppe Verdi’s Otello with him. It was an incredibly memorable experience,” DiBello recalled. When the CSO played this work at Carnegie Hall and recorded it live at Symphony Center in 2011, DiBello was seated in the principal bass chair, a then-vacant position. “There’s a great double bass solo in Otello, and I was very proud of how that came out on the recording,” he said.

Joseph DiBello misses playing with the CSO but is enjoying retirement. “I was so happy to give the bass to the Orchestra, because the Orchestra has meant so much to me and has been such a big part of my life. I felt it appropriate for me to do that.”

Tenth Anniversary Season of the Civic Fellowship Program

For more than a century, young musicians have received expert training through the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, which offers performance opportunities with top-tier conductors and mentorship from musicians of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Currently in its tenth anniversary season, the Civic Fellowship program provides additional professional development for a select group of Civic Orchestra members. The mission of the Fellowship is to prepare participants for multifaceted careers in music through four areas of focus: concert curation, music education, social justice, and project management.

Read how three current and former Civic Fellows respond to the question, how has being a Civic Orchestra Fellow helped you professionally and personally? To read the complete interviews, visit cso.org/experience.

Marian Mayuga Violin, current Civic Fellow

While being a member and Fellow of the Civic Orchestra is an incredible honor, it also entails a huge amount of responsibility, both as a musician and a member of the community. As a values-based program, the Civic Fellowship constantly urges us to think about the purpose of our music and whose lives we are impacting. This is the kind of approach I would like to adapt for my future endeavors.

Zachary Good Clarinet, Civic Fellow alumn

My time as a Fellow and the many education and community engagement projects I undertook showed me how my musicianship could inspire positive change in different contexts and that I could be more than just a clarinetist. The skills I gained through Civic, like developing a confident stage presence and curating programs, set me up for a successful career. During my time as a Fellow, Eighth Blackbird—an American contemporary music sextet based in Chicago—were my idols. I am now living my dream as a member of the ensemble!

Maria Arrua Violin, Civic Fellow alumn

Playing in the Civic Orchestra alongside amazing young musicians continuously motivated me to work hard and get better. . . . During my time in the Fellowship, I was placed to teach group classes at the People’s Music School. I learned to love teaching and connecting with students. . . . I now have my own private violin studio and also teach as an adjunct professor at Illinois Wesleyan University.

a note from the senior director of programming

Welcome to Symphony Center!

Recently, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association announced its 2023–24 season. Outstanding visiting orchestras, stellar chamber music performers, keyboard legends, debut artists, jazz phenoms, and special concerts by luminaries from around the world are once again all part of Symphony Center Presents. While still amid our current outstanding season, I look forward to the next with great anticipation.

Classical offerings in 2023–24 include the return of the CSO’s ninth music director, Daniel Barenboim, leading the Staatskapelle Berlin; the great violinist Maxim Vengerov; and cellist Yo-Yo Ma in two appearances on the Chamber Music series. In addition to the renowned Sir András Schiff and Evgeny Kissin, I am eager to hear debuts by Lucas and Arthur Jussen and 2021 Chopin Competition winner Bruce Liu on the Piano series.

The thirtieth season of the Symphony Center Presents Jazz series features prominent Chicago musicians, longtime series favorites, and a celebration of the 125th anniversary of Duke Ellington’s birth as part of the annual Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra’s Chicago residency with Wynton Marsalis. Jazz series highlights also include a debut by Samara Joy, who recently received the Best New Artist Grammy Award; Chicago jazz legend Herbie Hancock; and a celebration of the eighty-fifth anniversary of Blue Note Records with bassist Ron Carter and a quintet of stellar young jazz musicians to honor the label’s storied past and robust future.

Next season’s concerts also demonstrate our longstanding commitment to welcoming extraordinary musicians from around the globe with performances by Anoushka Shankar, Max Raabe and his Palast Orchester, and a debut by Cuban guitarist and former Buena Vista Social Club member Eliades Ochoa.

I look forward to seeing you at the remaining concerts this season, and I hope you share my enthusiasm for all the wonderful programs we’ve planned for 2023–24. Thanks again for your support of Symphony Center.

Lyric for Strings

George Walker was the son of a Jamaican immigrant father who worked his way through Temple University Medical School in Philadelphia to become a physician and a musical mother who introduced her son to the piano at age five. George started formal piano lessons soon thereafter and gave his first public recital at Howard University when he was fourteen. As precocious in academics as he was in music, he graduated from the competitive Paul Dunbar High School that same year and then attended Oberlin College in Ohio on a full scholarship; he graduated at age eighteen with highest honors in his class. Advanced study of piano (with Rudolf Serkin), orchestration (Gian Carlo Menotti), chamber music (William Primrose and Gregor Piatigorsky), and composition (Rosario Scalero) at the renowned Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia followed; in 1945, he became the school’s first Black graduate to receive artist diplomas in both piano and composition. Further piano study in France in 1947 helped prepare him for several years as a touring virtuoso in Europe and America.

Walker taught at Dillard University in New Orleans from 1954 to 1955 before completing his doctoral degree after just one year at the Eastman School in Rochester. Following his graduation, Walker returned to France for two years on a Fulbright Fellowship to study with Nadia Boulanger. After again concertizing successfully in Europe, he returned to America and thereafter taught at the Dalcroze School of Music and New School for Social Research

in New York City, Smith College (where he became the first Black tenured faculty member), University of Colorado, Rutgers University, Peabody Institute, and University of Delaware (where he was the recipient of the first minority chair established by the university). Among Walker’s many honors were the 1996 Pulitzer Prize in Music (for Lilacs, for voice and orchestra), induction into the American Classical Music Hall of Fame, and honorary doctorates from Lafayette College, Oberlin College, Montclair State University, Bloomfield College, Curtis Institute of Music, Spelman College, and the Eastman School.

Lyric for Strings, written originally in 1946 as the second movement of Walker’s String Quartet no. 1, was dedicated to the memory of the composer’s grandmother, Malvina King. The piece was first played (under the title Lament) early the following year on a radio broadcast of the orchestra of the Curtis Institute, conducted by Seymour Lipkin, and received its public premiere on March 23, 1947, at the Fourth American Music Festival at the National Gallery of Art in Washington (D.C.) under conductor Richard Bales. The composer wrote of his Lyric for Strings,

After a brief introduction, the principal theme that permeates the entire work is introduced by the first violin. A static interlude is followed by successive imitations of the theme that lead to an intense climax. The final section presents a somewhat more animated statement of the same thematic material. The coda recalls the quiet interlude that appeared earlier.

dmitri shostakovich

Born September 25, 1906; St. Petersburg, Russia

Died August 9, 1975; Moscow, Russia

String Quartet No. 12 in D-flat Major, Op. 133

Though Shostakovich suffered a chronic loss of health following his first heart attack, he remained determined and productive for the remaining nine years of his life, composing the Fourteenth and Fifteen symphonies, Second Violin Concerto, vocal settings of texts by Michelangelo and Alexander Blok, a sizeable number of smaller pieces, and most significantly, the last four of his fifteen string quartets. In their biography of the composer, Dmitri and Ludmilla Sollertinsky described Shostakovich as they observed him at his country dacha in Repino in 1973 during the composition of the Fourteenth Quartet:

We would encounter him moving slowly along the paths and avenues. He made a surprising impression on us at that time. Elderly and suffering from numerous illnesses, he seemed intensely concentrated upon something known only to himself. It seemed as if he carried within him music that he alone could hear, and this was why he walked so slowly and cautiously, as if afraid it would evaporate before he grasped it. . . . Only later did we learn that he had been aware of his approaching end and he was indeed in a hurry to express everything within himself that required utterance. All things a person usually takes for granted were difficult for him: going to the dining room, walking up steps, shaking hands, sitting down,

standing up. . . . Even so, he continued to meet colleagues, to listen to their music, and to talk. But for the most part, he worked. Illuminated by a table lamp, the silhouette of the composer bent over his writing table could be seen in the window of the little chalet in the morning, the afternoon, and late in the evening.

Shostakovich’s late quartets, which rank with Bartók’s six examples of the form as the most significant contributions to the genre in the twentieth century, provide one of the most intimate confessionals of personal feelings ever vouchsafed by a composer in his music. In Testimony, his purported memoirs, Shostakovich offered these words about the principal subject of the music of his last years:

Fear of death may be the most intense emotion of all. I sometimes think there is no deeper feeling. The irony lies in the fact that under the influence of that fear, people create poetry, prose, and music; that is, they try to strengthen their ties with the living and increase their influence upon them. I tried to convince myself that I shouldn’t fear death. But how can you not fear death? Death is not considered an appropriate theme for Soviet art, and writing about death is tantamount to wiping your nose on your sleeve in company. But I always thought I was not alone in my thinking about death and that other people were concerned with it, too, despite the fact that they live in a socialist society in which even tragedies receive the epithet “optimistic.” I wrote a number of works reflecting

my understanding of the question, and as it seems to me, they’re not particularly optimistic compositions. . . . I think that working on these compositions had a positive effect, and I fear death less now; or rather, I’m used to the idea of an inevitable end and treat it as such. After all, it’s a law of nature, and no one has ever eluded it. . . . When you ponder and write about death, you make some gains. First, you have time to think through things that are related to death, and you lose the panicky fear. And second, you try to make fewer mistakes. . . . [The critics] wanted [my music] to be comforting, to say that death is only the beginning. But it’s not a beginning—it’s the real end; there will be nothing afterward, nothing. I feel that you must look truth right in the eyes.

These hard, blunt, pessimistic words found their strongest expression in the searing Fourteenth Symphony of 1969, Shostakovich’s orchestral song cycle of eleven poems by four authors dealing with death. That symphony’s stark moods and intense, cogent expression were paralleled on a more intimate scale the year before in the Quartet no. 12, which was dedicated to Dmitri Tsyganov, leader of the Beethoven Quartet, the ensemble that had premiered all of Shostakovich’s quartets from the second onward; that ensemble introduced the work on September 14, 1968, in Moscow.

The quartet comprises only two nominal movements, though the second encompasses several contrasting sections. The

first movement is built largely from the juxtaposition of two ideas: a stream of steady eighth notes that wanders through all twelve available pitches in the cello before settling into ribbons of small intervals across which are draped long, keening lines in the other instruments; and a halting, sardonic waltz initiated by the violin. The second movement begins as a sort of surreal march, fragmented and often out of step but still aggressive and not a little threatening. Some whirling figurations seem to sap the march of its energy, and the cello begins a funereal Adagio, perhaps a cortege for a victim of the violence implied in the preceding music, in which it becomes like the voice of a distraught mourner who receives little consolation from the icy hymn phrases intoned by the rest of the ensemble. Perhaps frustrated with the comfortless solemnity, the first violin protests with angry pizzicato notes that mimic the opening of the quartet. The violin starts this extraordinary passage softly and alone but eventually finds support from its colleagues, who together mount a frightening climax that erupts into angry, dissonant, hammered chords. The protesters are quickly dispersed, however, and the icy phrases of the hymn are heard one final time. The music turns introspective with memories of the first movement, the time before the great loss implied by the preceding scenes. The march returns tentatively at first but then with increasing authority. The first violin again tries to protest with pizzicatos and rising double stops but finally submits to the inexorable martial tread. The major chords of the closing measures are not so much a happy ending as a devil’s grin.

antonín dvořák

Born September 8, 1841; Nelahozeves, Bohemia

Died May 1, 1904; Prague, Bohemia (now the Czech Republic)

Piano Quintet No. 2 in A Major, Op. 81

composed 1887

You would probably have liked Dvořák. He was born a simple (in the best sense) man of the soil who retained a love of country, nature, and peasant ways all his life. In his later years, he wrote, “In spite of the fact that I have moved about in the great world of music, I shall remain what I have always been—a simple Czech musician.” Few passions ruffled his life—music, of course; the rustic pleasures of country life; the company of old friends; caring for his pigeons; and a child-like fascination with railroads. When he taught at the Prague Conservatory during the winters, he took daily walks to the Franz Josef Train Station to gaze in awe at the great iron wagons. The timetables were as ingrained in his thinking as were the chord progressions of his music, and he knew all the specifications of the engines that puffed through Prague. When his students returned from a journey, he would pester them until they recalled exactly which locomotive had pulled their train. Milton Cross sketched him thus:

To the end of his days, he remained shy, uncomfortable in the presence of those he regarded as his social superiors, and frequently remiss in his social behavior. He was never completely at ease in large cities with the demands they made on him. He was happiest when he was close to the soil, raising pigeons, taking long, solitary walks in the hills and forests of the Bohemia he loved so deeply. Yet he was by no means a recluse. In

the company of his intimate friends, particularly after a few beers, he was voluble, gregarious, expansive, and good-humored.

His music reflected his salubrious nature, and Harold Schonberg concluded, “He remained throughout his entire creative span the happiest and least neurotic of the late romantics. . . . With Handel and Haydn, he is the healthiest of all composers.”

By the time Dvořák undertook his Piano Quintet in A major in 1887, when he was nearing the age of fifty, he had risen from his humble and nearly impoverished beginnings to become one of the most respected musicians in his native Bohemia and throughout Europe and America. His set of Slavonic Dances of 1878 (op. 46) was one of the most financially successful music publications of the nineteenth century, and the work’s publisher, Fritz Simrock of Berlin, convinced Dvořák to add a sequel to it in July 1886 with the Slavonic Dances, op. 72. (Dvořák received almost ten times the payment for op. 72 as he had for the earlier set.) Simrock also saw the possibility of financial gain on the chamber music front, and he encouraged Dvořák to compose a piece for piano and strings. To meet Simrock’s request, in the spring of 1887, Dvořák dusted off a piano quintet in A major he had composed in 1872 but filed away after its premiere as a failure. His attempts at revision proved futile, however, so he decided to compose a completely new quintet in the same key, which he did between August 18 and October 8 at his recently acquired country summer home at Vysoká. The composition was enthusiastically received at its premiere in Prague on January 6, 1888, and quickly became a favorite of chamber players

above: Antonín Dvořák, ca. 1882

throughout northern Europe and Britain. It has remained among Dvořák’s most highly regarded instrumental creations, “certainly the noblest pianoforte quintet in the world’s literature of chamber music,” according to the composer’s biographer Karel Hoffmeister.

Dvořák’s range of expression, melodic invention, and skill at motific elaboration are abundantly evident in the piano quintet’s opening movement. The cello presents a lovely, almost folkish melody as the main theme. This motif progresses through a number of transformations before the viola introduces a plaintive tune built from a succession of short, gently arching phrases. The main theme, rendered into the melancholy key of the viola’s melody, returns to close the exposition. Both themes are treated in the expansive development section. A full recapitulation and a vigorous coda round out the movement.

The dumka was a traditional Slavic (especially Ukrainian) folk ballad of meditative character, often describing heroic deeds. As was typical of the folk form, the dumka that occupies the quintet’s second movement uses the slow, thoughtful strain of the opening as a returning refrain to separate episodes of varying characters. The

movement may be diagrammed according to a symmetrical plan: A–B–A–C–A–B–A. The B section, quick in tempo and bright in mood, is led by the violin before being taken over by the piano. C is a fast, dancing version of the main dumka theme given in imitation.

Though the scherzo bears the subtitle Furiant, the movement sounds more like a quick waltz than the fiery, cross-rhythm dance of Bohemian origin. The central trio is occupied by a quiet, lilting metamorphosis of the scherzo theme.

The finale, woven from formal elements of sonata and rondo, abounds with the high spirits and exuberant energy of a Czech folk dance. The playful main theme is introduced by the violin after a few introductory measures, and contrasting material offers brief periods of repose. The development section includes a fugal working-out of the principal theme. A quiet, hymnlike passage in the coda provides a foil for the joyous dash to the end of this masterwork of Dvořák’s maturity.

Emerson String Quartet

Previn’s Penelope with Renée Fleming and Uma Thurman, including at the Los Angeles Opera, and appear at Carnegie Hall with Evgeny Kissin to perform as part of a benefit concert for the Andrei Sakharov Foundation. The final performance of the Emerson String Quartet will take place in October 2023 in New York City and will be filmed for a planned documentary by filmmaker Tristan Cook.

The Emerson String Quartet has its final season of concerts in 2022–23, disbanding after more than four decades as one of the world’s premier chamber music ensembles.

The Quartet has made over thirty acclaimed recordings and has been honored with nine Grammy awards (including two for Best Classical Album), three Gramophone awards, the Avery Fisher Prize, and Musical America’s Ensemble of the Year Award. As part of their larger mission to keep the string quartet form alive and relevant, they have commissioned and premiered works from some of today’s most esteemed composers, partnering with leading soloists such as Renée Fleming, Barbara Hannigan, Evgeny Kissin, Emanuel Ax, Mstislav Rostropovich, Yefim Bronfman, James Galway, Edgar Meyer, Menahem Pressler, Leon Fleisher, André Previn, and Isaac Stern, to name a few.

In its final season, the Quartet gives farewell performances across North America and Europe, appearing at venues such as San Francisco’s Herbst Theater, Toronto’s Royal Conservatory of Music, Vienna’s Musikverein, Prague’s Rudolfinum, and London’s Southbank Centre for the completion of its acclaimed cycle of Shostakovich quartets. The ensemble comes home to New York City for its final series with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, performing some of its most storied repertory in a trio of programs titled Emerson Dimensions They give several performances of André

The ensemble’s extensive discography includes the complete string quartets of Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Bartók, Webern, and Shostakovich, as well as multi-CD sets of the major works of Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, and Dvořák. In its final season, the Quartet will record Schoenberg’s Second Quartet with Barbara Hannigan for release in 2023, with the sessions video documented by Mathieu Amalric for a short film. In January 2023, Deutsche Grammophon reissued its box set of the Emerson complete recordings with two new additions. In October 2020, the group released a recording of Schumann’s three string quartets for the Pentatone label. In the preceding year, the Quartet joined forces with Grammy–winning pianist Evgeny Kissin to release a collaborative album for Deutsche Grammophon, recorded live at a sold-out Carnegie Hall concert in 2018.

Formed in 1976 and based in New York City, the Emerson String Quartet was one of the first quartets whose violinists alternate in the first violin position. The Quartet, which takes its name from the American poet and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson, balances busy performing careers with a commitment to teaching and serves as quartet-in-residence at Stony Brook University. In 2013 cellist Paul Watkins—a distinguished soloist, award-winning conductor, and devoted chamber musician—joined the original members of the Quartet to form today’s group.

In the spring of 2016, the State University of New York awarded full-time Stony Brook faculty members Philip Setzer and Lawrence Dutton the status of distinguished professor and conferred the title of distinguished honorary professor on part-time faculty members Eugene Drucker and Paul Watkins. The Quartet’s members also

hold honorary doctorates from Middlebury College, the College of Wooster, Bard College, and the University of Hartford. In January 2015, the Quartet received the Richard J. Bogomolny National Service Award, Chamber Music America’s highest honor, in recognition of its significant and lasting contribution to the chamber music field.

The Emerson String Quartet enthusiastically endorses Thomastik strings.

Emanuel Ax Piano

Born to Polish parents in modern-day Lviv, Ukraine, Emanuel Ax moved to Winnipeg, Canada, with his family when he was a young boy. Ax made his New York debut in the Young Concert Artists Series and in 1974 won the first Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Competition in Tel Aviv. In 1975 he won the Michaels Award of Young Concert Artists, followed four years later by the Avery Fisher Prize.

In the fall of 2021, Ax resumed a post-COVID touring schedule that included concerts with the Colorado, Pacific, Cincinnati, and Houston symphonies as well as the Minnesota, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, and Cleveland orchestras. The 2022–23 season includes a tour with Itzhak Perlman and Friends and a continuation of the Beethoven for Three touring and recording

project with partners Leonidas Kavakos and Yo-Yo Ma, this year on the West Coast.

He can be heard in recitals in Palm Beach, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Washington (D.C.), Houston, Las Vegas, and New York and with orchestras in Atlanta, Detroit, Boston, San Francisco, San Diego, New York, Naples, Portland, Toronto, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Cleveland. His European tour includes concerts in Germany, UK, Switzerland, and France.

Ax has been a Sony Classical exclusive recording artist since 1987. Following the success of Brahms: The Piano Trios with Kavakos and Ma, the three artists launched the ambitious, multiyear project Beethoven for Three to record all of Beethoven’s trios and symphonies arranged for trio. The first two discs of the project were released in 2022. Ax has received Grammy awards for the second and third volumes of his cycle of Haydn’s piano sonatas. He has also made a series of Grammy–winning recordings with cellist Yo-Yo Ma of sonatas for cello and piano by Beethoven and Brahms. In the 2004–05 season, Ax contributed to an International Emmy Award–winning BBC documentary commemorating the Holocaust that aired on the sixtieth anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. In 2013, Ax’s recording Variations received the Echo Klassik Award for Solo Recording of the Year (19th Century Music/Piano).

Ax is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and holds honorary doctorates of music from Skidmore College, New England Conservatory of Music, Yale University, and Columbia University.
