FEI-FEI DONG PIANO Praised for her ”bountiful gifts and passionate immersion into the music she touches” (The Plain Dealer), Chinese pianist Fei-Fei Dong is a winner of the 2014 CAG Victor Elmaleh Competition and a top six finalist at the 14th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. She continues to build a reputation for her poetic interpretations, charming audiences with her “passion, piquancy and tenderness” and “winning stage presence” (Dallas Morning News). Fei-Fei’s Spring 2015 calendar features the Cliburn’s Chopin Festival in Fort Worth and concerto engagements with the Austin Symphony, Fort Collins Symphony and the Denver Philharmonic orchestras. Her summer festival appearances in 2015 include Bravo! Vail Valley, the Highlands Chamber Music and Lake George Music Festivals. She is also showcased prominently in the new documentary film about the 2013 Cliburn Competition, Virtuosity, which will premiere on PBS in June 2015. Fei Fei’s burgeoning career includes a number of prominent engagements in the 2015–16 season, including New York City debut recitals at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall (CAG Winners Series), and at Merkin Concert Hall (Tuesday matinees series). Additional featured recitals include the Gilmore Rising Stars Series in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and St. Vincent College College Concert series near Pittsburgh, where she will receive the Father Joseph Bronder Memorial Piano Prize.

Short Ride in a Fast Machine John Adams b. 1947 Adams describes his own music as “postminimalist”.

Short Ride in a Fast Machine is, as the title suggests, a whirling dervish of a piece, where a huge orchestra is launched into John Adams is consid-

Rhapsody in Blue George Gershwin
(1898 – 1937)
The distinctive opening clarinet glissando of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue was once thought to be impossible to play. Now that Rhapsody is a standard orchestral piece, the signature slide is practiced by young clarinetists everywhere.
ABOUT GERSHWIN Between 1924 and 1934 Gershwin received more than a quarter of a million dollars from perfor-
Gershwin’s parents, Moshe and Rose Gershovitz emigrated from Russia to the United States in the 1890s and settled in New York. George was one of four children, his older brother Ira was often

in Blue. Duration – 16 minutes
Gershwin’s piano playing, like his later compositions, was characterized by an unerring rhythmic drive, a creative harmonic sense and an almost metronomic precision of tempo. When he improvised, the flow of ideas was unlimited. In 1914 Gershwin dropped out of school and began playing piano as a music publisher salesman on Tin Pan Alley, playing and singing to promote the current Broadway hits to performers. The endless time at the keyboard greatly improved his playing and gave him the skills and confidence he needed to jump into composing like his friend, the successful Jerome Kern.

JAZZ AND CLASSICAL, WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE The February 12, 1924 premiere concert featuring Rhapsody in Blue was organized by dance band leader (and Denver native!) Paul Whiteman. Whiteman had begun advertising the New York City concert on January 3, which was when George Gershwin first heard that he was writing a piece for the concert billed as ‘An Experiment of Modern Music.’ No pressure, right? The purpose of the concert was to introduce classical audiences to a new kind of American popular music — rhythmically vivacious dance music called jazz. Gershwin said of this new kind of music:
“The rhythms of American popular music are more or less brittle; they should be made to snap, and at times to crackle. The more sharply the music is played, the more effective it sounds.” One of the most obvious differences between traditional concert music and the popular jazz movement, was improvisation: the ability of the player to integrate their own melodic and rhythmic ideas within a set harmonic framework and then play with them. The original manuscript score for Rhapsody in Blue had several blank pages in the solo piano part, where Gershwin showed off his prolific piano talent and

Symphony No. 5 Op. 100 Sergey Prokofiev (1891 – 1953) According to those who knew him best, Prokofiev led an impulsive and impetuous life. He was smitten with the technological advances of the modern age and took full advantage of high-speed communication and transcontinental travel.
ABOUT PROKOFIEV Prokofiev died on the same day in 1953 as his artistic oppressor, Joseph Stalin. Duration – 43 minutes
Sergey Prokofiev was born in 1891 in the Ukraine, the son of a prosperous estate manager. An only child, his musical talents were fostered by his mother, an amateur pianist herself. Prokofiev began composing by the age of 5, and was eventually tutored at home by the composer Reinhold Glière. In 1904, on the advice of Alexander Glazunov, his parents allowed him to enter the St. Petersburg Conservatory (he was 13), where he continued his studies as a pianist and as a composer until 1914. At the conservatory, he was influenced more by his fellow students than he was by the older generation of teachers such as Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.

After the Russian Revolution of 1917, Prokofiev left Russia for the next 14 years, performing as a concert pianist and producing his works across most of the Western world. While abroad he composed his first opera, three symphonies, three piano concertos, and a piano sonata. He returned to the grim Soviet Russia of Lenin and Stalin in 1933 and settled his family permanently in Moscow, where he continued to compose and perform for the rest of his life. Prokofiev died at the age of 61 on March 5, 1953 — the same day as Joseph Stalin. Prokofiev had lived near Red Square, and for three days as masses of people gathered to mourn Stalin, it was impossible to carry Prokofiev’s body out for his own funeral service at the headquarters of the Soviet Composer’s Union. He is buried in Moscow.
THE DEATH OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE When Prokofiev was born, the Ukraine was a part of the czarist Russian Empire, and remained so for all of his formative years. Tsar Nicholas II or, Tsar Nicholas II Emperor and Autocrat of All the Russias, had a job as complicated as his title. His royal family extended throughout Europe: his older cousin George was better known as King George V of England, and the ruling monarchs of Denmark, Norway, Greece, and Germany were also family. As the beginning rumblings of the First World War began, one could imagine an uncomfortable family reunion as nations began to take sides and alliances were tested. As head of state, Nicholas approved of Russia’s involvement in the First World War, a war in which 3.3 million Russians were killed. The Imperial Army’s severe losses and the High Command’s
