WHEN WORK FEELS LIKE A HOLIDAY

How fortunate we are to have the brilliant cellist Yo-Yo Ma join me and your Colorado Symphony to perform the Dvořák Concerto on December 10! I feel especially lucky to be leading the bookends to that historic performance, conducting our All-Beethoven program with former Colorado Symphony Music Director Jeffrey Kahane on piano (December 1-3) and our annual Night in Vienna New Year’s Eve concert. With the flurry of excitement these concerts have stirred up, it will take all the self-control I have to stop myself from singing along with our lauded Colorado Symphony Chorus during Handel’s Messiah on December 8 and 9! Amidst this blizzard of Classics, Associate Conductor Christopher Dragon will bring his unique energy to the stage to lead our orchestra in family favorites A Colorado Christmas and Too Hot to Handel, brought back in its full glory by popular demand. Speaking of happy returns, Brian Buerkle will lead our Brass and Percussionists in Holiday Brass in our grand hall once again! Page 16 of the program has all the information you need to attend these great holiday concerts. There’s the ever-reliable maxim: When you love what you do, it hardly feels like work. Thanks to the immense talent of our musicians, their performing even the most complex works often seems effortless — and, thanks to their unmatched dedication, each performance is truly a labor of love. On behalf of the entire Colorado Symphony family, thank you for sharing your holidays and celebrating this joyous music with us. Gratefully,

Brett Mitchell Music Director

TL;DR:* NO ONE CHECKED THEIR PHONES What a Night Out at the Colorado Symphony Looks Like for Denver's Young Professionals Opening Weekend always has its own heightened energy, and Music Director Brett Mitchell's spirited delivery of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony left the audience revved up.

BRANDON MARSHALL

The real clamor began, however, at "After Glow," an after-party at the El Teatro hotel lounge hosted by Remix, the Colorado Symphony’s young professional group. Featured party guests Brett Mitchell and composer Mason Bates, who appeared onstage during Opening Weekend to accompany the orchestra on his laptop for his symphonic-electronica piece The B-Sides: Five Pieces for Orchestra, wove their way through the chatty crowd as cocktails and conversations flowed freely. About an hour into the event, one thing stood out above the din of laughter and glasses clinking: no one was looking at their phones. That felt so good, we want to say it again. No one looked at their phones. (Alright, for at least a few minutes.) Looking around the room, not a glowing rectangle could be seen. Everyone was totally engrossed in their conversations. That's how you know a good time is being had; we're debating reporting this rare phenomenon to the Associated Press. Events like this are what Remix is all about. Get into it.

A SUSTAIN ED D UET

A SUSTAINED DUET: The Haiti Youth Orchestra and Colorado Symphony – By Rachel Trignano The act of learning music doesn’t often happen overnight. A piece can take minutes to learn but exponentially more time to truly be able to perform it. That’s why many of the Colorado Symphony’s community education efforts are based upon ongoing partnerships targeting measurable successes. Our commitment to community engagement and enrichment through music drives the relationship between the Colorado Symphony, whose music education programs reach nearly 30,000 local students each year, and the Haiti Youth Orchestra which supports Orchestra St. Pierre, a youth orchestra in the small, inland community of Mirebalais, Haiti. The Haiti Youth Orchestra (HYO) was created by Denver teenager Zachary Harris, whose parents founded local non-profit Road to Hope Haiti. In 2014, the Colorado Symphony began collecting and donating instruments to the HYO, and the effort has evolved into Symphony musicians and Haitian students shuttling back and forth between Denver and Mirebalais to teach, learn, and continually progress as musicians. “It is our responsibility as a major arts organization to steward symphonic music by encouraging the next generations of listeners, performers, composers, and teachers,” said Catherine Beeson, the Colorado Symphony’s Director of Community Education Programs and Assistant Principal Viola in the orchestra. “Music education programs like this one encourage safe risk-taking, and provide an opportunity to take responsibility for personal growth and the mentorship of others.” And the learning goes both ways. “I think it’s important to experience other cultures, and visiting Haiti in this way gives me a different perspective about life and music,” said Abby Raymond, Assistant Principal Clarinet of the Colorado Symphony and teaching artist for the Haiti Youth Orchestra.

From Summer to Snow: Seasons Between Symphonies In July 2016, three Colorado Symphony musicians traveled to Mirebalais to teach and perform with the HYO students. It was a packed, rapidly paced visit as students flocked to classes every day in the intense heat to learn as much as they could over the course of several days. Five months later, three of the HYO students — trumpeter David Marcellus, violinist Peter Clervoyant, and cellist Fencia Clervoyant — came to snowy Denver to study, practice, and perform with Colorado Symphony musicians “They were blown away by the power of the Colorado Symphony sound and the generosity of spirit in the people they met,” said Catherine Beeson. “They were also touched that our Symphony members wanted to learn and perform the Haitian National Anthem with them, and so they began to learn the United States National Anthem to return the gesture.” The results went beyond improved technique and performance, however: the students were determined to take back to Haiti what they’d learned and help teach other students and strengthen the music programs there. Legacy has become a focus of this partnership: not just learning a piece once, but continuing, sharing, and reciprocating knowledge and skills.

A SUSTAIN ED D UET

Another Summer in Mirebalais To perpetuate the success of the summer and winter visits, four Colorado musicians went to Mirebalais, Haiti this past July to teach the students, perform for them, and act as specialists for different sections of the orchestra. Three were returning instructors from the Colorado Symphony — Helen McDermott (Section Viola / strings specialist), Abby Raymond (Second/E-flat-Assistant Principal Clarinet / woodwinds specialist), Paul Naslund (2nd/Associate Principal Trombone / brass specialist) — and, for the first time, an apprentice joined our musicians. Anna Martens, a violinist and East High School alum who is attending Bates College, received mentorship from our musicians and acted as a string specialist for the summer program. Like last year, our musicians brought donated instruments, supplies, and music for the school kids, and found that many of the donated items from last year are still in use by the students today. The week-long music program consisted of daily group rehearsals, small group lessons, individual lessons, and performances by the visiting teaching musicians, after which a student concert on the final night was held to showcase the new music as well as pieces the students already studied. During the visit, the students learned Holst’s “Jupiter” from The Planets, Tobych’s arrangement of Carol of the Bells, Handel’s Bourree in G, Strauss’ Pizzicato Polka, and “Waltz of the Flowers” from Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker.

The Difference a Year Makes Our returning musicians could see a significant improvement in the overall program and its results.

Abby Raymond works with the clarinet students.

Being there for in-person instruction has become a necessary advantage for enhancing the summer program. “As we get to know the students and leaders and are immersed in the on-the-ground situation, we can craft a program that is both effective and unique,” said Helen McDermott. “This summer, the team expanded the program by incorporating the beginning level group into the full orchestra, which was a great inspiration to younger, less experienced students,” said Catherine Beeson. “They also had more time to spend teaching the older students how to teach, coach, and mentor younger students.” Some other changes made to the program included instructing the students in smaller groups, having one additional instructor, adding more structure to the schedule, and lengthening its duration by several days. There was also a marked difference in the students’ performance. “The students made enormous progress from the first trip with the Colorado Symphony,” said HYO founder Zach Harris. “They seemed to possess a renewed energy and passion for music as they were all incredibly attentive and inquisitive during the week-long camp.” While the program’s evolution and effects have been positive, the students and faculty in Mirebalais face year-round challenges in making music, namely a lack of resources. For one, having minimal staff means the students may not get specialized instruction on specific instruments. Another ongoing challenge for the Orchestra St. Pierre is the limited availability of instruments and supplies. “There was a young flute player named Ralph who was having trouble playing a certain note, and I realized the instrument wasn’t working right,” recalls Abby. “I gave him one of the donated flutes, and at the end of the day he handed the ‘new’ flute back to me. I told him that it was for him to keep, and he had the biggest smile on his face. After that, he really took off on the flute that week. He is a very talented boy and clearly his instrument had been holding him back.” SOUNDINGS

A Return to Denver This December, four Haitian student musicians will visit the Colorado Symphony: Peter Clervoyant, Fencia Clervoyant, and David Marcellus will return and bring newcomer and violinist Lovelie Marcellus. All four students, whose ages range from 18-22, are in higher grades at their school and are considered leaders who will return to share what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned with younger HYO students. During their stay, David, Lovelie, Peter, and Fencia will spend time with the Colorado Symphony observing rehearsals, attending private lessons with Symphony musicians, and performing side-by-side with orchestra members in a performance in the lobby of Boettcher Concert Hall. Their trip to Denver will also include excursions like sightseeing and hiking trips in the mountains, going to sports games, and visits at local high schools and museums are also on the itinerary.

C O L O R A D O SY M P H O N Y.O R G

A SU STA I N E D DUET

The Road Ahead Expansion, progress, and mentorship are all on the horizon for the Haiti Youth Orchestra and Colorado Symphony partnership. While the program continues to grow in size as more teachers and students join, Zach Harris has his sights set on working with more than one school. “We completed our initial set of instrument donations to a second school in Port-au-Prince, Haiti’s capital,” Zach announced. “We hope that over years of work that this second orchestra will prove as successful as the first. HYO now has around 150 students among the two orchestras.” This partnership can only be as strong as the support it receives. If you’re interested in donating instruments, supplies, or other resources, please contact Catherine Beeson at cbeeson@coloradosymphony.org or 303.534.0732. Learn more about the Haiti Youth Orchestra and their mission at haitiyouthorchestra.com or find them on /TheRoadtoHopeHaiti/

CLASSICS PROGRAM NOTES ANATOLY LIADOV (1855-1914) The Enchanted Lake, Legend for Orchestra, Op. 62 Anatoly Liadov was born on May 11, 1855 in St. Petersburg and died on August 28, 1914 in Polynovka. The Enchanted Lake was composed in 1905-1909 and premiered on February 21, 1909 in St. Petersburg. The score calls for three flutes, two oboes, three clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, timpani, bass drum, celesta, harp, and strings. Duration is about 7 minutes. The piece was last performed on September 29, 30, and October 1, 2006 with Jeffrey Kahane conducting. Anatoly Liadov, one of the most important figures in Russian music during the generation between Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky, was the son of a conductor at St. Petersburg’s Maryinsky Theater and the grandson of the director of that city’s Philharmonic Society. His first music lessons were with his father, and in 1870 he entered the St. Petersburg Conservatory, where he studied piano, violin, counterpoint and composition. Liadov was admitted to the composition class of Rimsky-Korsakov, who spoke highly of his new pupil’s ability, but he was soon ejected for absenteeism. He was allowed to re-enter the Conservatory early in 1878, and showed such skill in taking the graduation examinations that he was hired that same year by the school as an instructor of elementary theory. He proved to be a brilliant teacher, counting Prokofiev, Miaskovsky, Asafiev and other notable Russian composers among his students, and remained on the school’s faculty until his death in 1914. Liadov also garnered a reputation as a conductor and champion of Russian music, assuming direction of the Imperial Russian Music Society concerts during the 1890s. In 1897, he undertook a journey to collect folk music for the Imperial Geographical Society, and published his findings as some 120 songs arranged for voice and piano. Liadov was shy, diffident and short on self-confidence, but the personal characteristic that bore most directly on his music was his monumental indolence, often attributed to his dreamy, otherworldly nature. Around 1880, he told friends he had begun an opera with the provisional title Zorushkya, but during the remaining 35 years of his life, he managed to finish for it only two instrumental miniatures — The Enchanted Lake and Kikimora. The subject on which Liadov proposed to write his endlessly gestating opera grew from the legendary tale Kikimora by the folklorist Ivan Sakharoff. “The phantom Kikimora,” the composer noted, “is brought up by a sorceress in the mountains. In his youth, he is beguiled, from early morn to late at night, by the tales of foreign lands told by the sorceress’ Magic Cat. From night to dawn, Kikimora is rocked in a crystal cradle. In just seven years, the phantom grows to maturity. Shiny and black, its head is as small as a thimble, and its body as thin as a straw. Kikimora makes all manner of noises from morning to night, and whistles and hisses from early evening to midnight. Then, the phantom spins till daylight; spins and stores up evil in its mind against all mankind.” Liadov, wrote a miniature tone poem inspired by (and titled after) Kikimora that he intended to use in the opera, and also spent time dabbling with a libretto, in which the dark land of the phantom would meet the realms of three other figures — the House Spirit, the Wood Spirit, and the Water Spirit — at a crossroads near an enchanted lake. The scenario for Zorushkya never got any further than these vague ideas, but Liadov did complete a luminous musical depiction of The Enchanted Lake that evokes the light shimmering on the water’s surface and the rippling motions of ebullient nymphs playing in its depths.

CLASSICS PROGRAM NOTES SERGEI RACHMANINOFF (1873-1943) Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor, Op. 30 Sergei Prokofiev was born on April 1, 1873 in Oneg (near Novgorod), Russia and died on March 28, 1943 in Beverly Hills, California. The Third Piano Concerto was composed in 1909 and premiered in New York on November 28, 1909, conducted by Walter Damrosch with the composer as soloist. The score calls for woodwinds in pairs, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, and strings. Duration is about 40 minutes. Olga Kern was the soloist and James Judd conducted the orchestra when the concerto was last performed on October 10-12, 2014. The worlds of technology and art sometimes brush against each other in curious ways. In 1909, it seems, Sergei Rachmaninoff wanted one of those new mechanical wonders â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an automobile. And thereupon hangs the tale of his first visit to America. The impresario Henry Wolfson of New York arranged a thirty-concert tour for the 19091910 season for Rachmaninoff so that he could play and conduct his own works in a number of American cities. Rachmaninoff was at first hesitant about leaving his family and home for such an extended overseas trip, but the generous financial remuneration was too tempting to resist. With a few tour details still left unsettled, Wolfson died suddenly in the spring of 1909, and the composer was much relieved that the journey would probably be cancelled. Wolfsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agency had a contract with Rachmaninoff, however, and during the summer finished the arrangements for his appearances so that the composer-pianist-conductor was obliged to leave for New York as scheduled. Trying to look on the bright side of this daunting prospect, Rachmaninoff wrote to his

PROGRAM 5

CLASSICS PROGRAM NOTES long-time friend Nikita Morozov, “I don’t want to go. But then perhaps, after America I’ll be able to buy myself that automobile.... It may not be so bad after all!” It was for the American tour that Rachmaninoff composed his Third Piano Concerto. The Concerto consists of three large movements. The first is a modified sonata form that begins with a haunting theme, recalled in the later movements, that sets perfectly the Concerto’s mood of somber intensity. The espressivo second theme is presented by the pianist, whose part has, by this point, abundantly demonstrated the staggering technical challenge that this piece offers to the soloist, a characteristic Rachmaninoff had disguised by the simplicity of the opening. The development section is concerned mostly with transformations of fragments from the first theme. A massive cadenza, separated into two parts by the recall of the main theme by the woodwinds, leads to the recapitulation. The earlier material is greatly abbreviated in this closing section, with just a single presentation of the opening melody and a brief, staccato version of the subsidiary theme. The second movement, subtitled Intermezzo, which Dr. Otto Kinkleday described in his notes for the New York premiere as “tender and melancholy, yet not tearful,” is a set of free variations with an inserted episode. “One of the most dashing and exciting pieces of music ever composed for piano and orchestra” is how Patrick Piggot described the finale. The movement is structured in three large sections. The first part has an abundance of themes that Rachmaninoff skillfully derived from those of the opening movement. The relationship is further strengthened in the finale’s second section, where both themes from the opening movement are recalled in slow tempo. The pace again quickens, and the music from the first part of the finale returns with some modifications. A brief solo cadenza leads to the coda, a dazzling final stanza with fistfuls of chords propelling the headlong rush to the dramatic closing gestures.

 SERGEI PROKOFIEV (1891-1953) Symphony No. 5, Op. 100 Sergei Prokofiev was born on April 23, 1891 in Sontzovka, Russia and died on March 5, 1953 in Moscow. The Fifth Symphony was composed in 1944 and premiered on January 12, 1945 in Moscow, conducted by the composer. The score calls for piccolo, two flutes, two oboes, English horn, E-flat clarinet, two clarinets, bass clarinet, two bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, piano, harp, and strings. Duration is about 40 minutes. Jeffrey Kahane was on the podium when the piece was last performed on November 21-22, 2008. “In the Fifth Symphony I wanted to sing the praises of the free and happy man — his strength, his generosity and the purity of his soul. I cannot say I chose this theme; it was born in me and had to express itself.” The “man” that Prokofiev invoked in this description of the philosophy embodied in this great Symphony could well have been the composer himself. The work was written in the summer of 1944, one of the happiest times he knew. His home life following marriage to his second wife four years earlier was contented and fulfilling; he was the most famous and oftenperformed of all Soviet composers; and Russia was winning the war. In fact, the success of the premiere of this work was buoyed by the announcement immediately before the concert that the PROGRAM 6

CLASSICS PROGRAM NOTES Russian army had just scored a resounding victory on the River Vistula. The composer’s mind was reflected in the fluency and emotional depth of his music. Prokofiev never hinted that there was a program underlying the Fifth Symphony except to say that “it is a symphony about the spirit of man.” During the difficult years of World War II, Soviet music, according to Boris Schwartz, “was meant to console and uplift, to encourage and exhort; nothing else mattered.” Though some, like Martin Bookspan, find “ominous threats of brutal warfare” lurking beneath the surface of Prokofiev’s music, there is really nothing here to match such symphonies born of the violence of war as Shostakovich’s Seventh and Vaughan Williams’ Fourth. Rather it is a work that reflects the composer’s philosophy after he returned to Russia in the 1930s from many years of living in western Europe and America. In his 1946 autobiographical sketch, he wrote, “It is the duty of the composer, like the poet, the sculptor or the painter, to serve his fellow men, to beautify human life and point the way to a radiant future. Such is the immutable code of art as I see it.” The Symphony’s opening movement is a large sonata form in moderate tempo that begins without introduction. The wide-ranging main theme is presented simply by flute and bassoon before being taken up by the strings; flute and oboe sing the lyrical second theme. Two brief motives close the exposition. One, characterized by its dotted rhythms, arrives on the crest of the movement’s first climax; the other is an angular, skittish fragment tossed off by high woodwinds, violins and cellos. The development gives prominence in its first portion to the opening theme and the skittish motive from the end of the exposition; it later focuses on the second theme and the arch-shaped complementary melody. The recapitulation is heralded by the stentorian sounds of the brass choir announcing the main theme. The second-movement scherzo is one of those pieces Prokofiev would have classified as “motoric”: an incessant two-note rhythmic motive drives the music forward through its entire first section. The movement’s central section is framed by a bold, strutting phrase from the woodwinds adorned with the piquant “wrong notes” that spice so much of Prokofiev’s quick music. The brooding third movement is in a large three-part design. The outer sections are supported by the deliberate rhythmic tread of the low instruments used as underpinning for a plaintive melody initiated by the clarinets. A sweeping theme begun by the tuba serves as the basis for the middle section. The finale opens with a short introduction comprising two gestures based on the main theme of the first movement: a short woodwind phrase answered by the strings, and a chorale for cellos. The main body of the movement is a sonata-rondo structure propelled by an insistent rhythmic motive. The movement accumulates a large amount of thematic material as it progresses, though it is the solo clarinet playing the main theme that begins each of the important structural sections of the form. A furious, energetic coda ignites several of the movement’s themes into a grand closing blaze of orchestral color.
