WELCOME Dear Friends, Welcome to Orchestra Hall during another landmark year for your Detroit Symphony Orchestra! The second half of the 2016-2017 Season promises rich musical explorations by the DSO, from our ongoing focus on the intersection of popular culture and classical music in Gershwin and His Children, to our participation in the citywide Detroit 67 project, to our intimate performances through the William Davidson Neighborhood Concert Series.

The DSO aims for even greater artistic, financial, and cultural impact, and so we always consider how to increase our reach. Our aspirations for the DSO both in Orchestra Hall and in our community grow higher and higher every day! Improving access for young people through our Wu Family Academy, spotlighting the role of the arts in Detroit as we host the League of American Orchestras national conference in June, and advocating for this great city through our July tour of Japan and China — your continuing support fuels all of this and so much more. As a community-supported orchestra, your role in our journey is critical, and we thank you for your active engagement.

The DSO is now in year four of our ten-year plan, Blueprint 2023, and together we have strived to reach a place of aligned vision and stability. We have achieved tremendous successes, with balanced budgets four years in a row and two consecutive early contracts secured with our incredible musicians. To ensure that the DSO is vibrant for generations to come, we must continue to achieve all our ambitious goals. We know that you share our passion, and with your support, we can reach even greater heights.

Throughout 2017, we all will be remembering our dear friend Bill Berman, a pillar of our community and lifelong supporter of the DSO who passed away on December 21. Bill and his beloved wife Madge have built a legacy of giving, not just to the DSO, but to numerous causes across the Jewish community, education, healthcare, social services, and the arts. Their leadership recently inspired the creation of the DSO’s Classroom Edition webcasts, bringing live classical music to students throughout Detroit and around the world. So, as we remember Bill and continue to celebrate his and Madge’s important role in our community, we all look forward to honoring them as DSO Heroes on June 10. We look forward to seeing you in Orchestra Hall and the Peter D. and Julie F. Cummings Cube, in your community, and online via the Live from Orchestra Hall webcast series!

his spring and summer, and again in the fall, the Atrium of of the Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center will be populated with the work of several Detroit artists in an exhibition curated

by Steve Panton, founder of 2739 Edwin and 9338 Campau galleries and co-founder of the Hamtramck Neighborhood Arts Festival, the Free School of Hamtramck, and the Essay’d project. Essay’d is a writing project that publishes short essays about Detroit artists on a monthly basis.

The exhibition, titled Art @ The Max, is made possible with the generous support of the Eugene Applebaum Family Foundation.

Here, featured on the cover of this issue of Performance, is the largest work in Corrie Baldauf’s Circle Drawing series, and was a four year effort where the dots were marked, five at a time, to a musical rhythm.

Baldauf is the subject of Essay’d Installment #2, written by Sarah Rose Sharp. She writes, in part: “Baldauf’s projects are deeply intertwined with the world and those human interactions taking place around her, and seek in many ways to interact with that world without altering it physically. One mechanism for this is her series Circle Drawings (2005-present) — at a glance present as mandalas of tight, concentric rings, but further

investigation will reveal them to be meticulous registers for snippets of overheard conversations, obsessively charted and detailed in word clusters bordering the circle.

“While it may be generally said of artists that they bring value to society by utilizing their art to showcase a worldview outside the mainstream, Baldauf’s perspective is singular above all. Her attention is constantly tuned to things that are ubiquitous to the point of invisibility. Spend some time with her and you will find that Baldauf possesses little of the common lexicon, often questioning the meaning or exact wording of everyday aphorisms in the manner of a nonnative speaker, deeply curious about subtext that most people have long learned to take for granted.”

“Our family is very pleased to support Art @ the Max,” said Pamela Applebaum, President of Arbor Investment Group and also a member of the DSO Board of Directors. “By showcasing the works of Detroit artists with this exhibition series, we hope to fulfill a dual mission: to broaden audience engagement at the DSO and to elevate the unique contribution of local artists in Detroit’s cultural enrichment.”

by Marlowe Stoudamire

2017 MARKS THE 50-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE TUMULTUOUS SUMMER OF 1967, offering our community the opportunity to use shared history as a catalyst to engage, reflect, and take the collective action required to help move Detroit, the region, and our nation forward.

To capitalize on this unprecedented opportunity, the Detroit Historical Society is leading a community-wide engagement effort, titled Detroit 67: Looking Back to Move Forward that brings diverse voices and communities together around the effects of an historic crisis to find their role in the present and inspire the future.

The mission of the Detroit Historical Society is to tell Detroit’s stories 16

DSO PERFORMANCE MAGA ZINE

and why they matter. The Detroit 67 Project and its centerpiece, the Detroit 67 Exhibition, spans 150 years, from 1917 to 2067. It is an ambitious attempt to preserve the stories that form our collective history and utilize the understanding we gain from a comprehensive look at those events to inform and define our future. For this effort to be successful, it must extend the traditional reach of the Detroit Historical Society far beyond the four walls of the Detroit Historical Museum, using messages from every genre and medium to catalyze the conversations that will move us forward. Because music chronologically bonds itself to the stories of people, places, and events throughout our history, it is EARLY SPRING 2016-2017

a perfect medium for the message of Detroit 67: Looking Back to Move Forward. From Motown Records representing the sound of a generation to our reputation as the birthplace of techno music, Detroit has always had a deep appreciation for music of all genres. In many ways, Detroit’s stories can be found within its music. This season, the Detroit Historical Society is very proud to partner with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra whose music will act as a medium to draw out the stories that will help us understand the events of 1967 and ultimately move us forward as a community.

The DSO’s Classical Roots Celebration is an annual tradition, celebrating African American musicians and composers whose contributions transcend time and place — and it is well aligned with our mission. Like our work at the museum, Classical Roots epitomizes the belief that culture and

dso.org

history — preserved, honored, and understood — can be the foundation for a positive future. Terence Blanchard, with strong ties to the DSO and a celebrated knack for connecting difficult history with emotion through his music, was a natural choice for this important project. The debut of Blanchard’s powerful piece perfectly demonstrates music’s ability to make history relevant in the present. Its soaring conclusion is a perfect prelude to the conversations that will move our communities forward in the next 50 years.

Marlowe Stoudamire is Director of the Detroit 67 Project at the Detroit Historical Society.

profiles MICHELLE MERRILL A passionate and dynamic artist, Michelle Merrill was recently named as one of Hour Detroit magazine’s 3 Cultural Organization Leaders to Watch, and made her classical subscription debut with MERRILL the DSO in April 2016. She is also a recipient of a 2016 Solti Foundation U.S. Career Assistance Award.

Recent and upcoming engagements include the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra, Toledo Symphony, Louisiana Philharmonic, Symphoria (Syracuse), Sacramento Philharmonic & Opera, Boise Philharmonic, Orlando Philharmonic, New Music Detroit, and the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic, where she formerly served as Assistant Conductor before coming to Detroit. In addition to planning and conducting concerts, Merrill gives pre-concert lectures, leads adult music education seminars, engages with students in and around Metro Detroit, speaks on behalf of the DSO throughout the community, and participates in hosting Live From Orchestra Hall webcasts.

In 2013 Merrill was awarded the prestigious Ansbacher Conducting Fellowship by members of the Vienna Philharmonic and the American Austrian Foundation, which enabled her to be in residence at the worldrenowned Salzburg Festival. In March of 2014, she stepped in on short notice with the Meadows Symphony Orchestra 22

DSO PERFORMANCE MAGA ZINE

for their performance of Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 4, which music critic Scott Cantrell of the Dallas Morning News described as “stunning” and later placed on his list of Top Ten Classical Performances of 2014.

Born in Dallas, TX, Merrill studied conducting with Dr. Paul C. Phillips at Southern Methodist University’s Meadows School of the Arts, where she holds a Master of Music Degree in conducting and a Bachelor of Music in performance. Apart from music, she loves cooking, running, hiking, and spending time outdoors with her husband, Steve Merrill, Principal Percussionist of the Jacksonville Symphony.

SARA DAVIS BUECHNER Winner of a bouquet of prizes at the world’s great piano competitions — Reine Elisabeth of Belgium, Leeds, Salzburg, Sydney, and Vienna — Sara Davis Buechner established her early BUECHNER career with the Gold Medal of the 1984 Gina Bachauer International Piano Competition, and a Bronze Medal in the 1986 Tschaikowsky International Piano Competition in Moscow. Now residing in Canada, Ms. Buechner enjoys a vibrant international performance and recording career.

With an active repertoire of over 100 piano concertos ranging from A EARLY SPRING 2016-2017

(Albeníz) to Z (Zimbalist), Buechner has appeared as soloist with the world’s prominent orchestras: New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Saint Louis, San Francisco, Montréal, Vancouver, Victoria; the CBC Radio Orchestra, Japan Philharmonic, BBC Philharmonic, and many others.

The New York Times greeted her Koch International album of piano music by Rudolf Friml as a “revelation,” and devoted the front page of its Sunday Arts & Leisure section to her world premiere recording of the Bach-Busoni “Goldberg” Variations.

Her George Gershwin album was

selected as a “Record of the Month”

by Stereophile magazine, and her recording of Hollywood piano concertos by Bernard Herrmann and Franz Waxman won Germany’s Deutsches Schauplatten Preis for best soundtrack.

Buechner studied piano with some of the most formidable keyboard virtuosos of the 20th century: Reynaldo Reyes, Ann Schein, Phillip Evans, Beveridge Webster, William Aide, Edward Weiss, Gunnar Johansen, Mieczyslaw Münz, Byron Janis, and Rudolf Firkusny. She has inherited, and proudly continues, their pianistic mantle.

abriela Lena Frank was born to a mother of mixed Peruvian/Chinese ancestry and a father of Lithuanian/ Jewish descent and explores her multicultural heritage most ardently through her compositions. Inspired by the works of Bela Bartók and Alberto Ginastera, Frank is something of a musical anthropologist. She has traveled extensively throughout South

dso.org

America and her pieces reflect and refract her studies of Latin American folklore, incorporating poetry, mythology, and native musical styles into a western classical framework that is uniquely her own.

Frank is the winner of a Latin Grammy and has been nominated for other Grammy Awards as both composer and pianist, and she also holds a Guggenheim Fellowship and a USA Artist Fellowship. She is regularly commissioned by luminaries such as cellist Yo-Yo Ma, soprano Dawn Upshaw, the King’s Singers, and the Kronos Quartet, as well as by the talents of the next generation such as soprano Tony Arnold, cellist Joshua Roman, and conductor Yannick NézetSéguin.

Walkabout: Concerto for Orchestra was written for the DSO while Gabriela Lena Frank was Music Alive Composerin-Residence for the orchestra. Music Alive, administered in partnership with DSO PERFORMANCE MAGA ZINE 23

program notes the League of American Orchestras, aims to bring new music to the forefront of our nation’s orchestras and the communities whom they serve.

The composer has written the following about the piece: In four movements, Walkabout uses both musical and extra-musical influences. The first movement, “Soliloquio Serrano,” features our string principals prominently in an introspective yet lyrical “mountain soliloquy.” The second movement is lively and bold, a portrait of huaracas, the slingshot weapons favored by the soldiers employed during the 16th century in the dominant Inca Empire.

“Haillí,” the Quechua word for “prayer,” is our third movement and is both lyrical and passionate. The last movement, “Tarqueada,” portrays — after a mysterious opening — one of my favorite scenes of Perú: A great parade of tarka flutists who can number up to a hundred at once. These musicians also blow whistles and beat a variety of different drums, creating a sonic effect of controlled chaos that never stops building.

The DSO is proud to give the world premiere of Gabriela Lena Frank’s Walkabout: Concerto for Orchestra at these performances.

and strings. (Approx. 9 minutes)

B

y the early 1930s, Gershwin was making his mark in the classical music arena. His first big hit was Rhapsody in Blue (1924), then followed the Concerto in F (1935), An American in Paris (1928), the Second Rhapsody (1929), and finally his great opera Porgy and Bess (1935). In late 1933, a prominent theater manager named Harry Askins persuaded Gershwin to go on an orchestra tour early the following year as a celebration of the 10th anniversary of Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin was happy to oblige, as he saw this as a way of underwriting the score of Porgy and Bess, which he would start to work on immediately after the tour. With Askins serving as tour manager, a madcap schedule was set up, requiring 28 concerts in 28 cities over 29 days! The program for the tour included, among other things, the Concerto in F, Rhapsody in Blue, An American in Paris, and this brand-new set of variations, composed during a three-week vacation in Palm Springs.

The tour was something of a financial disaster, but no matter: the composition of the variations was more important to Gershwin than the thousands of dollars he lost. The composer himself describes the work’s construction as follows: “After an introduction by the orchestra the piano plays the theme rather simply.

The first variation is a very complicated rhythm pattern played by the piano while the orchestra fits in the tune. The next variation is in waltz time, and the third is a Chinese variation in which I imitate Chinese flutes playing out of tune. Next, the piano plays a rhythmic variation in which the left hand plays the melody upside down, while the right hand plays it first on the theory that we shouldn’t let EARLY SPRING 2016-2017

one hand know what the other is doing.

Then comes the finale.”

The DSO most recently performed the “I Got Rhythm” variations in a July 2005 concert at Meadow Brook Amphitheatre, with conductor Thomas Wilkins and pianist Stewart Goodyear.

The DSO first performed the piece in October 1971 at the Worcester Music Festival in Massachusetts, with conductor Sixten Ehrling and pianist Peter Nero.

Second Rhapsody for Piano and Orchestra GEORGE GERSHWIN B. September 26, 1898, Brooklyn, New York D. July 11, 1937, Hollywood, California Scored for solo piano, piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, and strings. (Approx. 15 minutes)

T

he composition processes of most major Gershwin works are welldocumented, meaning that scholars and fans can easily tell where and why each piece was written. Not so for the Second Rhapsody, however, particularly with regards to its connections to the Fox movie Delicious. This was a 1931 romantic comedy starring Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell and featuring songs by both George and Ira Gershwin, including an elaborate set piece which underscores a bustling New York City under construction.

To some, this number is thought to be the genesis of the Second Rhapsody, which was completed in the same year as Delicious’s premiere and initially called Rhapsody in Rivets. Gershwin contributed a few more sequences for the film, but the only other one to

dso.org

make the final cut was a five-minute dream sequence called “The Melting Pot.” The commonly-held belief about the Second Rhapsody chronology is that Gershwin simply expanded the Rhapsody in Rivets into a concert piece and renamed it. But Gershwin’s own commentary seems to suggest that the concert piece actually came first: “I wrote it mainly because I wanted to write a serious composition, and found the opportunity in California to do it.

Nearly everybody comes back from California with a Western tan and a pocketful of moving-picture money. I decided to come back with both those things and a serious composition — if the climate would let me. I was under no obligation to the Fox Company to do this, but, you know, the old artistic soul must every so often be appeased.”

After the Rhapsody was completed, Gershwin commented, “In many respects, such as orchestration and form, it is the best thing I have written.” The composer tried to interest Arturo Toscanini in taking part in the premiere, but he was not interested, so the Rhapsody was given its first performance in January 1932 with the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Serge Koussevitsky and Gershwin as soloist. The Second Rhapsody is in many ways Gershwin’s most experimental composition, but many people have agreed with the composer that it is probably his most perfect work in terms of structure and orchestration. Curious, then, that it is probably the least-frequently performed of all of his major works.

The DSO, for its part, has performed the work only once: at a July 2009 Meadow Brook Amphitheatre “Gershwin Galore” concert conducted

by Leonard Slatkin and featuring pianist Jeffrey Siegel.

C

harles Tomlinson Griffes never enjoyed widespread fame, but a small handful of his works persist toward the fringe of the repertory, provoking astonished admiration when they are aired. After early study in his hometown of Elmira, New York, he traveled in August 1903 to Berlin, where he spent four years pursuing an advanced musical education, mostly at the Stern Conservatory. Frustrated by the resolute conservatism of the composition faculty, he sought out the composer Engelbert Humperdinck (of Hänsel und Gretel fame), who took him on as a pupil. Problems of scheduling limited their work together to about a dozen sessions, but Griffes nonetheless valued the experience.

Having concluded his stint abroad, during which he completed several compositions and gave some public performances as a pianist, he returned to the United States in July 1908 and was immediately appointed music director at the Hackley School, a private boarding school for boys in Tarrytown, New York. He remained on the faculty for twelve years, until his death from

pleurisy that progressed to pneumonia.

Although not a very stimulating job, it provided Griffes with financial security, plentiful free time, the admiration of students and fellow teachers, and an uncomplicated living situation on a pleasant campus.

Griffes, who was gay, was much more comfortable with and well-adjusted to his sexuality than one might expect a man of his era to be. It would be disingenuous to overlook that he wrote The White Peacock only weeks after entering into his relationship with his partner Dan Martin, at a moment of heightened emotional excitement. The fowl that specifically inspired Griffes’ piece is spotlighted in the poem of the same name by the Scottish writer William Sharp, whose works are famous for their suggestions of ambivalent and non-binary sexuality. Griffes kept a copy of the poem on his piano as he wrote the piece, which is built from gauzy timbres, unorthodox harmonic positioning, and metric fluidity. It opens with a theme of questioning, ambiguous character, presented at a slow tempo.

As the central section grows in intensity, harmonic recollections of Strauss’s Salome come and go. The movement’s climax suggests the peacock’s tail unfolding, maintaining its glory briefly but then folding back as the work reaches its hushed conclusion.

— James M. Keller The DSO most recently performed Charles Grifess’ The White Peacock in January 1984, conducted by Hiroshi Wakasugi. The DSO first performed the piece in October 1943, conducted by Paul Krueger.

Symphony No. 1 in F minor, Op. 10 DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH B. September 25, 1906, St. Petersburg, Russia D. August 9, 1975, Moscow, Russia Scored for piccolo, 3 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, piano, and strings.

(Approx. 28 minutes)

T

he young Dmitri Shostakovich studied at a secondary school in his native St. Petersburg before attending the Conservatory of Music there. The work he wrote for his graduation in 1925 was his first symphony, and, in spite of some echoes of Prokofiev and others, it quickly brought him to international attention as an exciting and highly accomplished new talent. His formative years coincided with the birth of the Soviet Union, as the year 1916 saw not only Czarist Russia on the verge of revolution, but also the 10-year-old composer at the beginning of what would be one of the most significant musical careers of the 20th century.

Life was hard for Shostakovich between the 1917 Revolution and his 1925 graduation from the Conservatory: his family was so poor following the death of his father that, for some time, the young man had to spend long hours earning money by playing piano in a cold, unpleasant movie theater, even though he was quite unhealthy at the time. In spite of this, he managed to produce several assured works — the capstone being the amazingly mature Symphony No. 1.

Shostakovich appears to have begun work on the symphony in 1923, but severe bouts of tuberculosis prevented him from doing more than writing out

dso.org

some sketches. Serious work began the following year, and the piece was completed in about twelve months’ time.

It is an astonishing first symphony, particularly for the amount of anger and tragedy it contains from the mind of one so young. Regardless of any influences from other composers, the 19-year-old composer was already showing flashes of what would develop into his unmistakable mature and unique musical personality. The fourmovement symphony can be divided into two parts: the first two movements exhibit a kind of Chaplinesque circus atmosphere, but in a very bizarre and satirical form; the last two movements are full of intensity and pathos, reflecting an experience of suffering and its acceptance that most artists don’t begin to deal with until middle age. It would have been easy for Shostakovich to gain a kind of facile success with a happy ending, but his courage in conceiving and presenting so disturbing a work at such a young age is both admirable and remarkable, as is the amazing skill with which he accomplished the task.

The enormous success of the symphony exceeded Shostakovich’s wildest expectations, and by remaining true to his ideas and resisting the changes he had been advised to make by older and more experienced musicians, he felt that his creative instincts and convictions had been firmly vindicated. May 12, the date of the symphony’s phenomenal premiere, was an anniversary which Shostakovich celebrated for the rest of his life.

The DSO most recently performed Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 1 in March 2003, conducted by Roberto Abbado. The DSO first performed the work in November 1940, conducted by Franz Allers.

profiles KAZEM ABDULLAH

CHRISTINE LAMPREA

A vibrant, versatile and compelling presence on the podium, American conductor Kazem Abdullah is one of the most watched up-and-coming talents on the international stage today. Since 2012 he has been Generalmusikdirektor of the City of Aachen, Germany, where he leads both the orchestral and operatic seasons. His predecessors in this tradition-rich post include Fritz Busch, Herbert von Karajan, and Wolfgang Sawallisch.

In the 20152016 Season in Aachen, Abdullah conducted three opera productions: Tosca, Tannhäuser, and Die Entführung ABDULLAH aus dem Serail. He also led several subscription concerts and conducted Verdi’s Requiem in the Aachen Cathedral, in addition to making guest appearances with the New World Symphony, the Boca del Rio Philharmonic, Halle Philharmoniker, Westchester Philharmonic, and the Aarhaus Opera in Denmark.

Born in Indiana, Abdullah studied at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, the University of Southern California, and the Peabody Institute of John Hopkins University. He served as Assistant Conductor at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, a three-year post to which he was appointed by Music Director James Levine. A recipient of a prestigious 2010 Solti Foundation U.S. Career Assistance Award, Abdullah was named #4 on The Daily Beast’s 2009 list of “Young Rock Stars of the Conducting World.” Mr. Abdullah’s conducting teachers include Jorma Panula, Gustav Meier, Stefan Asbury, Bernard Haitink, and James Levine.

ColombianAmerican cellist Christine Lamprea was the First Prize winner of the 2013 Sphinx Competition. She joined the roster of the Sphinx LAMPREA Soloists Program, and as such is presented as soloist with major orchestras worldwide. She has also received awards from the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts and the Young Texas Artists’ Competition, and she captured First Prize at the 2013 Schadt National String Competition.

Also a passionate teacher, Lamprea worked with Ecuadorian youth in the cities of Quito and Guayaquil, as part of a residency between The Juilliard School and “Sinfonia Por La Vida,” a social inclusion program modeled after Venezuela’s El Sistema approach. She continued to pursue musical outreach as a Gluck Community Service Fellow at Juilliard, performing in hospitals and nursing homes in and around New York City as part of a mixed ensemble of dancers, actors, and musicians.

THE BRAZEAL DENNARD CHORALE The Brazeal Dennard Chorale, founded in 1972 by Dr. Brazeal W. Dennard, is one of the longest standing organized choral groups in the country. For more than four decades, the Chorale has wooed Detroit audiences with its vocal excellence in the performance of choral music of all genres, while it continues to pursue the mission of its founder: to remember, discover, and preserve the spiritual music of the African American

experience and culture. A generation later, the need for that mission is greater than ever.

Music professionals throughout the United States and Canada recognize the mission and commitment of the Chorale, whose yearly schedule includes a variety of concerts. Through its many performances and recordings, the Brazeal Dennard Chorale, now under the direction of Mrs. Alice McAllister Tillman, continues to educate and inspire.

CLASSICAL ROOTS HONOREE:

REGINA CARTER

Violinist Regina Carter is considered the foremost jazz violinist of her generation. As a result of her curiosity, passion, and quest for beauty brought to every stop taken on her full musical journey, she was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship (a “genius grant”) in 2006.

Carter was born in Detroit, where she attended Cass CARTER Technical High School and was a member of Detroit Civic Symphony Orchestra (a youth ensemble of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, one of what are now known as the Civic Youth Ensembles). Her varied influences have ranged from R&B to East Indian, Nashville country to European Classical. She has recorded with pop icons Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle, and Billy Joel, legendary jazz pianist Kenny Barron and trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, R&B superstars Mary J. Blige and Lauryn Hill, and country music titans Dolly Parton and Tanya Tucker — among others.

No matter the role — bandleader, soloist, collaborator — Carter is fiercely creative, constantly pushing the boundaries of her instrument and her music.

“Electric” is a common declaration used in reviews, and it fits; there is an abundance of vitality in what she does, but a hard-to-grasp “did you see that?” quality as well. The raucous joy so evident in her performances never hurts, either.

Carter’s latest album is Southern Comfort, on which she explores the folk tunes her paternal grandfather, a coalminer, would have heard as he toiled in Alabama.

Her research for the album included visits to the Library of Congress, where she studied the collections of folklorists Alan Lomax and John Work III. On Southern Comfort, Regina interprets her own roots through a modern lens.

The DSO is thrilled to honor the peerless career of Regina Carter at the 2017 Classical Roots Celebration, and even more excited that she will join the orchestra onstage as a performer. She is a true artist and a true Detroiter, operating at the absolute highest level of musical achievement.

CLASSICAL ROOTS HONOREE:

TERENCE BLANCHARD Jazz trumpeter Terence Blanchard has become a most prominent brass player, bandleader, recording artist, orchestrator of film scores, and leader in the mainstream postbop community. Blanchard is the Fred A. & Barbara M. Erb Jazz Creative Chair at the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and a visiting scholar at Berklee College of Music. He has served as the artistic director of the Thelonious Monk Jazz Institute as USC in Los Angeles and of the Henry Mancini Institute at the University of Miami Frost School of Music.

BLANCHARD He has cut dozens of albums on major labels including Columbia, Sony Classical, and Blue Note — and the awards can do the talking, as he has been nominated for thirteen Grammys and has won five. He has played with virtually every major figure in every corner of jazz, including (but not at all limited to) Branford Marsalis, McCoy Tyner, Toots Thielemans, Dr. John, Poncho Sanchez, Art Blakey, and Cedar Walton. As a performer and composer, Blanchard’s individuality can be heard in director Spike Lee’s films; Emmy winner Anthony Hemingway’s Red Tails; his opera Champion; an upcoming Fox drama; a dance collaboration with Desmond Richardson’s Complexions; two commissions for the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic; and two Broadway plays.

Blanchard’s latest album is Breathless, executive produced by Detroit legend and Blue Note president Don Was. The adventurous 13-tune recording zeroes in on several Blanchard originals, an epic-length piece by Fabian Almazan, and a scattering of covers, sung by soothing and soulful vocalist P.J. Morton (a member of the band Maroon 5).

Terence Blanchard is a fixture at the DSO’s Paradise Jazz Series concerts, where he will typically introduce performers. The DSO is both proud and humbled to celebrate him as a Classical Roots Honoree, and the world premiere of his piece Detroit 67 is a significant landmark in the history of both the orchestra and its city.

Blanchard is a musical hero — ferociously busy, always kind, and never failing to impress.

program notes of fields unfolding … echoing depths of resonant light JEFFREY MUMFORD B. June 22, 1955, Washington, D.C. Scored for solo cello, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, tuba, percussion, harp, and strings. (Approx. 18 minutes)

I

n his own words, Jeffrey Mumford “grew up in a house full of Count Basie. We trimmed our Christmas trees to pianists Ramsey Lewis and Billy Taylor.” But alongside the titans of jazz were Beethoven’s “Emperor” Concerto and Handel’s Messiah performed by a cast of thousands — the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and The Philadelphia Orchestra. The classical and jazz idioms regularly combine in his work, which is at once complex, sentimental, imagistic, and full of subtlety.

“My work is inspired by cloud imagery, the qualities of light, and the time of day,” Mumford writes. “I am fascinated with the layers that form, and I am compelled by the speed with which clouds move, splitting off and recombining with one another, reforming and sometimes dissipating entirely. This, I think, is an operative analogy to the approach I take in my work.” of fields unfolding . . . echoing depths of resonant light was written for Christine Lamprea in memory of Elliott Carter, one of Mumford’s mentors and strongest sources of inspiration. “[Carter’s] Cello Sonata was one of the first pieces I fell in love with, so it seemed appropriate that a

34

DSO PERFORMANCE MAGA ZINE

cello concerto would be the perfect mode of expression,” Mumford writes.

“I also wanted to create a work that showcased the talents of Christine Lamprea. While her repertoire is vast, she has a particular (and refreshing) affinity for new music…my concerto builds on materials from an earlier work for cello and piano, and weaves the cello’s opening solo passage into an ongoing developmental scenario.”

Mumford has taught at the Washington Conservatory of Music, served as Artist-In-Residence at Bowling Green State University, and was assistant professor of composition and Composer-In-Residence at the Oberlin College Conservatory of Music. He is currently a Distinguished Professor at Lorain County Community College in Northern Ohio. He has received grants from the Guggenheim Foundation, the American Music Center, the Ohio Arts Council, and the ASCAP Foundation. In addition, he has been awarded seven Meet the Composer Grants, and was the winner of the first National Black Arts Festival/Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Composition Competition. “[Elliott Carter’s] music opened up whole new worlds for me, showing me that music like his was possible…Words cannot express the gift he has given me in my focus and journey as an artist.

Words also cannot express how much I miss him,” Mumford says.

These performances of Jeffrey Mumford’s of fields unfolding … echoing depths of resonant light will be DSO premieres.

T

erence Blanchard is a multitalented jazz trumpeter, bandleader, composer, arranger, and film score composer. He is known as a straightahead artist in the hard bop tradition but has also developed an Africanfusion style of playing that makes him unique among other trumpeters. He has extended a jazz tradition embodied by the legendary Louis Armstrong, also a New Orleans native, and in so doing has carved out a singular place in contemporary culture which extends well beyond the reach of jazz: a master trumpeter who has helped shape the contours of the genre. Perhaps the best description of his playing comes from an article in Vanity Fair: “He plays the most coolly expressive trumpet in jazz, transmuting the instrument’s repertoire of smears, growls, peeps and blasts into an astonishingly fluid language both luxurious and controlled.”

So far in his extraordinary career Blanchard has received 13 Grammy nominations, winning five; a Golden Globe nomination, a Soul Train Music nomination, two Black Reel nominations, and the Miles Davis award from the Montreal International Jazz Festival. He has also received honorary degrees from Xavier University and

dso.org

Skidmore College. He began playing piano at age five, switched to trumpet three years later, played alongside his childhood friend Wynton Marsalis in summer band camps, and, while still in high school, took extracurricular classes at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts. In 1980 he won a scholarship to Rutgers University, and immediately began performing with the Lionel Hampton Orchestra. In 1982 he replaced Wynton Marsalis in Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, where he served as musical director until 1986. It was then that he began to form his own influential groups.

Detroit 67 was commissioned by the DSO in the fall of 2016 to commemorate the tragic events which occurred in the city in July 1967. The work is in two parts: “Aftermath,” which represents the serious repercussions of the civil unrest, including a great deal of despair, hurt, and depression; and “Moving Forward,” looking at where the city is now, where it has come from, and where it is headed, combined with a strong sense of hope for the future.

Blanchard has spoken often about the special relationship he has with Detroit, how much his work with the DSO means to him, and how honored he is to be a part of this Classical Roots celebration.

Throughout the whole work the chorus does not sing words, but vocalizes on the syllables “oh” and “ah.” The first part begins with some rhythmic figures in the winds and horns, and when the chorus enters it presents a variation of these, which is then passed around the orchestra with increasing intensity until the movement ends on a powerful chord.

The second part begins with the chorus singing unaccompanied, featuring new DSO PERFORMANCE MAGA ZINE 35

variations on the initial rhythmic figures.

Once the orchestra enters there is new material which builds to a strong climax. Following that, there is some new, gentle material presented by both chorus and orchestra, which grows in intensity to the impassioned and moving conclusion to the work.

The DSO is thrilled to celebrate Terence Blanchard as a Classical Roots Honoree, and proud to perform the world premiere of Detroit 67 with the Brazeal Dennard Chorale.

4 Sisters: Concerto for Jazz Violin DAVID SCHIFF B. August 30, 1945, New York, New York Scored for solo violin, 2 flutes, piccolo, 3 oboes, 3 clarinets, 3 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, piano, and strings. (Approx.

34 minutes)

D

avid Schiff is a busy man: in addition to composing works for orchestra, opera, musical theater, worship, chamber ensembles, and jazz groups large and small, he is also an active writer and scholar, with particular expertise on the work of Elliott Carter, Duke Ellington, and George Gershwin.

Well-known for his blending of orchestral, jazz, and religious music

(particularly Klezmer), Schiff rose to prominence after the composition of his Elegy for String Quartet and the premiere of his opera Gimpel the Fool.

4 Sisters was written in 1997 and premiered that same year in Cambridge, England. It received its American premiere seven years later— with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and Regina Carter. The concerto is in four parts, each one dedicated to one of the titular sisters: Aretha Franklin (“Soul”), Ella Fitzgerald (“Scat”), Billie Holiday (“Satin”), and Sarah Vaughan (“Sassy”), all superstar AfricanAmerican vocalists.

The 2004 performances were Carter’s DSO debut, and about them Schiff writes: “I composed a new solo at the very beginning of the work just for her. I was already a huge fan of Regina’s playing, but we met for the first time just two days before the first of four performances. With the first notes that she played at the very first rehearsal, Regina demonstrated that she owned the piece even though we had not had the opportunity to talk about it before that. About one half of the solo part is improvised and with each of the four performances in 2004, Regina found delightful new things to say.”

The 2004 DSO performances of 4 Sisters were conducted by Christoph Poppen.

NOTABLE PROJECT SUPPORT The Detroit Symphony Orchestra acknowledges the following partners for their support of exceptional projects, partnerships, and performances that boldly advance the DSO’s mission to be a leader in the world of classical music.

An expanded partnership with American House Senior Living Communities is bringing the benefits of music therapy to residents with memory care needs in Roseville, Michigan. This new initiative is part of a comprehensive senior engagement program dedicated to accessibility and service for all.

Through the support of the Maxine and Stuart Frankel Foundation the DSO has established a Teacher Task Force to drive in-school programming around our Classroom Edition educational concert webcast series, as we work to build our capacity to evaluate and grow our impact on students in the Detroit Public Schools Community District.

Patients at Beaumont Hospitals will soon have access to a collection of works from the Live From Orchestra Hall webcast library to supplement the custom-designed DSO chamber music programs presented on site thanks to their ongoing support of our community engagement activities in hospitals, health centers, and wellness facilities.

In conjunction with our 39th annual Classical Roots Celebration, the DSO is collaborating with Detroit-based Lambert, Edwards & Associates to film and produce a video reflecting the DSO’s commitment to diversity in the orchestral field and highlighting our African-American Fellowship Program.
