KIMBERLY BRODY OBOE Kimberly Brody was inspired by her mother to begin playing the oboe and was encouraged to continue by her seventh grade art teacher. She grew up in Minnesota and studied with the principal oboist of the Minnesota Orchestra. She graduated with a degree in Oboe Performance from St. Olaf College and then went on to study at Northwestern University. After a summer performing in the American Wind Symphony Orchestra, she moved to Ohio and began studying with John Mack, former principal oboist of the Cleveland Orchestra — her true mentor. While in Ohio, Kim played oboe and English horn with the Youngstown Symphony, Canton Symphony, and Erie Philharmonic. She later returned to Chicago and began a freelance career that encompassed the vast Chicago area from Milwaukee to Valparaiso, Ind., and orchestras including the Northwest Indiana Symphony, Chicago Sinfonietta, Lake Forest Symphony, Music of the Baroque, Ravinia Festival Orchestra, Milwaukee Ballet, Kenosha Symphony, Chicago String Ensemble, and Ars Viva Orchestra. Kim regularly attended the John Mack Oboe Camp in Little Switzerland, N.C., and it’s there that she met her husband, Jim Brody. Kim moved with her children to Boulder in 2001. Since coming to Colorado, Kim has enjoyed performing in the Boulder Bach Festival, Colorado MahlerFest, Boulder Chamber Orchestra, the Colorado Music Festival, the Denver Philharmonic among other ensembles. In addition to performing, Kim also teaches private oboe lessons, works part time in administration for the Colorado Music Festival, and is an avid Colorado Rockies fan! 11
KENNETH GREENWALD BASSOON Kenneth first discovered the bassoon during his freshman year of high school and began studying the instrument with Colorado Symphony bassoonists Jonathan Sherwin and Joanne Goble. At age 5, he began studying violin, and he would later also study piano and flute. Kenneth attended the University of Denver’s Lamont School of Music, earning his bachelor’s and master’s in music performance while studying with Chad Cognata, principal bassoonist with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. Over the years, Kenneth has performed with many other organizations including the Denver Young Artists Orchestra, the Arapahoe Philharmonic Orchestra, the Colorado Wind Ensemble, the Musica Sacra Chamber Orchestra and the Colorado Symphony Orchestra.

Last season, we had a lot of fun — we live-tweeted concerts, held lively pre-concert chats, produced a Super Bowl video mashup with the Seattle Philharmonic Orchestra, hosted a Valentine’s Day photo booth, projected your Rocky Mountain pics above the musicians, brought in an instrument petting zoo, set up a selfie corner with a cardboard Buzz Aldrin, and partnered with the Denver Museum of Nature and Science to bring the Gates Planetarium (and the entire universe) into KPOF Hall.

Sinfonia concertante in B-flat major for oboe, bassoon, violin, cello and orchestra, Hob. I:105 Franz Joseph Haydn (1732 – 1809)
* Run Time: 22 minutes * Four soloists make
The ‘Sinfonia concertante’ that opens this evening’s program is one of a kind. When Haydn first traveled to London, arriving in January 1791, his agreement with the violinist and impresario Johann Peter Salomon was that he would write an opera, six symphonies, and unspecified further works. Haydn would also make concert appearances.

Pleyel caused a sensation with a new work for multiple soloists at the rival Professional Concert series. Not to be outdone, Salomon apparently urged Haydn to compose one as well. According to Haydn’s biographer H.C. Robbins Landon, the autograph score indicates that Haydn wrote it at great speed and probably under stressful circumstances. On March 2, 1792, presumably racing to finish the new composition, Haydn wrote to his 25

IN MEMORIAM MILTON J. LEBSACK (NOV. 11, 1917 – DEC. 15, 2013)
He loved music and he loved the Denver Philharmonic 29
Sinfonia da Requiem Benjamin Britten (1913 – 1976) “BRITISH COUNCIL ASK IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN COMMISSION FOR FULL SCALE ORCHESTRAL WORK SYMPHONIC POEM SYMPHONY SUITE OVERTURE UNDERSTAND FEE SUBSTANTIAL EVEN HUNDREDS. I SAID YES PLEASE CONFIRM” * Run Time: 21 minutes
Benjamin Britten received this Western Union cablegram message from his publisher, Ralph Hawkes, on September 22, 1939. The commission was welcome — particularly the generous fee, which turned out to exceed £500 — a princely sum at the time. Gradually details emerged: the commissioning entity was a foreign state that had contacted composers in several other western countries. They asked for a work that would honor a significant milestone anniversary for that country. The country turned out to be Japan, and the event was the 2,600th Anniversary Celebration of the Japanese Emperor’s dynasty. The new work was to be delivered to Tokyo by May 1940.

Symphony No. 8 in G major, Op. 88 Antonín Dvořák (1841 – 1904) After the “New World” Symphony, the G major is the best loved of Dvořák’s large orchestral works. While it shares with the “New World” an intensely Czech flavor and a wealth of melodies, the G major focuses on the transparent and wholesome simplicity of the Bohemian countryside. * Run Time: 34 minutes * The Eighth is Dvořák’s “pastoral” Symphony * Bird calls and a wistful

Most of the sketches for the G major symphony date from August 1889. Dvořák completed the orchestration by early November, and the premiere took place in Prague under the composer’s direction in February 1890.

CHILDLIKE WONDER AND THE APPEAL OF RUSTIC BOHEMIA By allowing Bohemian songs and dance tunes to dominate, Dvořák gave the Eighth Symphony a celebratory, almost childlike spirit that permeates all four movements. The first and final movements both have themes based on a simple G major triad, which helps the consistency of mood. Dvořák relies on variation technique in both movements. The inner two movements provide contrast and emotional depth. The rhapsodic Adagio, with its birdcalls and wistful
character, could be a musical portrait of Vysoká, the composer’s beloved summer home. Dvořák’s biographer Alec Robertson calls this slow movement: . . . completely original from start to finish. It could stand as a miniature tone-poem of Czech village life described by a highly sensitive man. There is a touch of pain in the opening harmonies that becomes pronounced later on. The predominant atmosphere, nevertheless, remains resolutely positive. Czech conductor Rafael Kubelik, rehearsing the finale’s opening fanfare, is said to have remarked to an orchestra, “Gentlemen,
