Hello, gorgeous. Where did you get that healthy glow? We hear you believe in taking care of yourself inside and out. That you get heart and lung cancer screenings. And that you take advantage of the latest technology, like digital mammography. During your pregnancy, you took childbirth and early parenting classes. And when your baby was born, you had your very own team of nurses. You even got rid of fibroid pain (with just the tiniest of scars) through uterine fibroid embolization (UFE). We know your secret. And we’re sharing it so everyone can now say, “Hello, WellStar.”
We believe in life well-lived.

Welcome to May! I assumed responsibilities as president of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in May 2010, so this is something of an anniversary letter. Let me say, at the outset, how happy I am to be here. My family and I have been made to feel welcomed and loved and celebrated, and for that I am profoundly grateful. From my first days in Atlanta — a place I have grown to love quickly — I challenged my colleagues to focus less on talking about what we do and to think more about the difference we make by doing those things. The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra presents an exciting, well-balanced, 24-concert series each classical season. We invite world-renowned guest artists — Itzhak Perlman, Midori, Wynton Marsalis, Roberto Abbado, Jennifer Higdon, Dawn Upshaw and their peers — to share the stage with our own world-class, 27 Grammy Award-winning Orchestra. What difference does it make to the people of this community that we present memorable live performances of great art by great artists? Our Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus, which this year celebrates its 40th anniversary, is the envy of choral music loving audiences across America and around the globe. Their artistry, which we will hear in two concert series this month alone, inspires us and transports us. What difference does it make to this community that we are home, to such a superb Chorus? Through nationally respected initiatives like our Talent Development Program and the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra, we nurture the talents of young musicians. We position them to reach beyond themselves, to hone their abilities and realize their dreams. Does that make a difference? I’ve asked my colleagues to think about and to talk with me about the difference we make by the things we do, and now I’d like to ask you to do the same: What difference does the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra make in your life? How do you see our impact in this community? I hope you’ll let me hear from you: stanley.romanstein@woodruffcenter.org. Thank you so much for supporting your Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.

Robert M Spano music Director
usic Director Robert Spano, beginning his 10th season as music director of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, is recognized internationally as one of the most imaginative conductors today. Since 2001, he has invigorated and expanded the Orchestra’s repertoire while elevating the ensemble to new levels of international prominence and acclaim.
angela morris
The Orchestra and audiences together explore a creative programming mix, recordings and visual enhancements, such as Theater of a Concert — the Orchestra’s continuing exploration of different formats, settings, and enhancements for the musical performance experience — and the first concert-staged performances of John Adams’s Doctor Atomic in November 2008. The Atlanta School of Composers reflects Mr. Spano and the Orchestra’s commitment to nurturing and championing music through multi-year partnerships, defining a new generation of American composers, including Osvaldo Golijov, Jennifer Higdon, Christopher Theofanidis and Michael Gandolfi. Since the beginning of his tenure, Mr. Spano and the Orchestra have performed over 100 concerts featuring contemporary works (composed since 1950), including 13 Atlanta Symphony-commissioned world premieres and three additional world premieres.
14 EncoreAtlanta.COM
Mr. Spano has a discography with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra of nine recordings — six of which have been honored with Grammy® awards. He has led the Orchestra’s performances at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, as well as the Ravinia, Ojai and Savannah music festivals. He has led the New York and Los Angeles Philharmonics, San Francisco, Boston, Cleveland, Chicago and Philadelphia symphony orchestras, as well as Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala, BBC Symphony and Amsterdam’s Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. In addition, he has conducted for Covent Garden, Welsh National Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Houston Grand Opera, and the 2005 and 2009 Seattle Opera Ring cycles. Mr. Spano was Musical America’s 2008 Conductor of the Year. In March 2010, Mr. Spano began a threeyear tenure as Emory University’s Distinguished Artist in Residence, for which he spends three weeks each year leading intensive seminars, lecturing, and presenting programs on science, math, philosophy, literature and musicology throughout the university’s campus.

The Making of a Dynasty “I am the luckiest guy in the world,” says Mark Yancich, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra principal timpanist since 1981. “I found a voice and followed it.” A fourth-generation musician, he grew up in a musical household brimming with instruments and a world of sound. He took french horn lessons and tried out classical guitar before discovering in high school that “playing timpani sent a shiver up and down my spine.”

A few years earlier, older brother Paul Yancich, principal timpanist of the Cleveland Orchestra, had had his own percussion epiphany. Their father taught french horn at the Eastman School of Music. “I saw someone at Eastman with a pair of drumsticks in his back pocket. And that was it,” remembers Paul, who got a practice pad and percussion lessons for his ninth birthday. “Then in high school the band director said ‘Can you tune these two notes?’ I could. Then he said, ‘So you’re going to play timpani.’”
“I’ve known James forever,” says Paul Yancich of the prolific composer who got a start composing a timpani piece for Paul’s senior recital at the Cleveland Institute. Oliverio’s works include the virtuosic Timpani Concerto No. 1 (The Olympian), which Paul premiered in 1990 with the Cleveland Orchestra. Mark later performed with the ASO and in the opening work for Atlanta’s Cultural Olympiad in 1996.
Nick Arroyo
Timpani soloists have a slim repertory. And for two timpanists, the list is not much beyond a piece by Philip Glass. “James, Mark and I had been talking about doing something together,” Paul says. The talking continued for a few years, with ideas for a double concerto emerging and winning a nod from Maestro Spano. Oliverio actually started to sketch and shape the work, which is in five movements, two summers ago, at the Yancich family summer home in Lake Placid, N.Y. And he has — studying, as did Mark later, with the revered Cloyd Duff at the Cleveland Institute of Music, as a member of the Atlanta Symphony from 1976 to 1981 and, since then, the Cleveland Orchestra.
“In my book, these two guys are the best timpanists in the world,” Oliverio says. “And the notion that they come from a musical family that dates way back was one of the paths to Dynasty. I wanted to honor that.”
As far as anyone knows, Mark and Paul Yancich own the universal title and territory of timpanist-brothers who are members of major orchestras. At least it is a pretty nifty rarity. But for them — and for the Atlanta audience — there is more rarified distinction to come next month when the two world-premiere DYNASTY: Double Timpani Concerto composed for them and the Orchestra by James Oliverio. Music Director Robert Spano will conduct the June 2 and 4 concerts at Atlanta Symphony Hall.
How to execute the piece? “My quest was for melodic and harmonic timpani writing,” Oliverio says. “And that has become the hallmark of this piece — melodic and harmonic structure that grows organically. It was a challenge to feature two soloists, to allow both to shine equally. And, as with any composition, ideally I want to search out through sound vibration and take the listener to a different mental or psychological space where they want to stay or revisit.”

the georgia tech chamber choir
T
he Georgia Tech Chamber Choir was founded in 1998 to provide especially skilled vocal musicians an outlet in which to perform a more challenging choral repertoire. Under the direction of Dr. Jerry Ulrich, the Chamber Choir has become known for its proficiency, artistry and professionalism. In the past decade, this group has performed to critical acclaim across the Southeast. The Chamber Choir has established a reputation for its use of multimedia presentations during performances. In 2008, the choir participated in a large-scale multimedia production titled Phos Hilaron. The piece was performed in Atlanta, St. Simons Island and North Carolina, and included world-renowned authors Marcus Borg and John Dominic Crossan. The presentation featured photography, animation and video, along with live accompaniment provided by the Chamber Choir. In the spring of 2009, the Chamber Choir brought a production titled Beginnings and Endings (and Life in Between) to Atlanta. This concert focused on themes of creation, aging, death and the afterlife. The capstone of the concert was Copland’s In the Beginning, a complex work that sets the creation narrative from the Book of Genesis to music. The concert also featured a moving piece inspired by the events of Sept. 11, 2001, with text from John Donne’s Death Be Not Proud and music by Dr. Ulrich. Later that year, the Chamber Choir performed a concert celebrating music in worship titled Hymn of the Universe at All Saints’ Episcopal Church in Atlanta. Bach’s Ein Feste Burg Ist Unser Gott and Durufle’s Ubi Caritas, performed at that concert, also were sung during a Florida tour in early 2010. This series of concerts was followed by performances for Georgia Tech alumni and for medical professionals at a local conference. The 2009–10 season concluded with a concert titled The Flower of Youth, at St. John United Methodist Church. There the Chamber Choir performed Ginastera’s Lamentaciones de Jeremías Propheta and Barber’s Agnus Dei. Atlanta’s Performing Arts Publication 27
For the 2010–11 season, the Chamber Choir presented Bach’s masterpiece, Mass in B Minor, in collaboration with the New Trinity Baroque orchestra, a period-instrument ensemble. The Chamber Choir is performing the work in Atlanta, Birmingham, Sarasota and Tampa. Audience members heard this iconic piece performed in the Atlanta premiere of the Breitkopf edition, edited by Joshua Rifkin. The season ends with Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy, an exciting collaborative performance with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and conductor Arnie Roth.

“James knows what to do idiomatically with the kettles,” Mark says of the composer’s technique. “I think the audience will be able to hear some really good music that happens to be for timpanists. They should sit back and enjoy the sound of what a timpani can do. And have fun watching us — up front for a change.” Timpani — also called kettledrums, after their appearance — have been part of the orchestral family since the Baroque era. While timpani are among the few percussion instruments that have definite pitch, each kettle has a limited range of less than an octave. Scores call for various numbers of drums, usually in pairs with complementary tunings, up to about five for one player. Foot pedals allow the player to change pitches. “And then there are stick choices for articulation or mellowness [or other sound qualities],” Mark explains, “often not indicated by the composer [Oliverio excepted, of course]. So it becomes the artistic choice of the player or conductor. Some schools of thought say just a few pair are enough; some have a palette of dozens of pairs. Paul and I are in the middle. Usually we use about eight pairs of sticks, ranging from the hardest to softest.” Still, Paul points out physical limitations: “With a violin you have a huge range at your fingergtips, while we change the notes with our feet. A pianist uses 10fingers, while we play with two sticks. Our instruments are slow mechanically and big to get around.” Oliverio had these constraints and others to factor in. He says, “Each player can only play so many notes without changing the 42 EncoreAtlanta.COM
“ I want to…take the listener to a different mental or psychological space…” — James Oliverio foot pedal. The two soloists have to share certain notes of a melody.” Composer and soloists have had a few in-progress sessions to rehearse together and exchange ideas. “Paul will be driving his instruments to Atlanta for the premiere,” says Mark, who will return the favor when the brothers perform DYNASTY with the Cleveland Orchestra in September at the Blossom Music Festival. The score calls for each player to use five drums. “Mr. Spano heard us read through initial sketches and gave us some input. And James has incorporated some things that Paul and I asked for.” One being the use of two harps. “He had the solo timpani with harp in his first concerto, and we thought it was really neat. Writing for two timpanists is extremely challenging territory. It’s tricky. It passes back and forth. James has ingeniously combined two players’ parts to sound as one.” “I think once the piece starts, until the last note, people will think, ‘Wow,’” says Paul.“We happen to be musicians who play timpani. We are hoping this opens up a new appreciation for what timpanists do in general.” Mark adds, “And playing with my brother — it doesn’t get any better than this!” Margaret Shakespeare writes often about music and musicians. She lives in New York and the farmlands of Long Island.

In an era where the biggest story on Broadway is the abysmal failure of the accident-plagued Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, the legendary Patti LuPone stands apart as (to borrow a line from composer Marvin Hamlisch) one singular sensation.

Born in 1949, LuPone came by her vocal talent honestly — her great-grand aunt was celebrated 19th-century opera singer Adelina Patti. She started out performing on Long Island in the LuPone Trio with older brothers William and Robert, the actor/dancer/director who later originated the role of Zach the choreographer in A Chorus Line. She went on to become part of the first graduating class of Julliard’s Drama Division, eventually following acting professor John Houseman when he formed the influential theatre company, The Acting Company, with whom she worked regularly from 1972 to 1976. By 1973 she’d made her Broadway debut playing Irina in Chekhov’s The Three Sisters, and two years later she received her first Tony Award nomination — Best Featured Actress in a Musical — for her role as Rosamund in The Robber Bridegroom. But it was her work as Argentinean first lady Eva Perón in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Evita that truly established LuPone as a star, earning her a Tony for Best Actress in a Musical and leading to major roles in The Cradle Will Rock, an Oliver! revival, the original London production of Les 46 EncoreAtlanta.com
Rahav
A Broadway veteran with nearly 40 years of experience; two Tony Awards (for 1979’s Evita and 2008’s Gypsy revival); and numerous Tony, Laurence Olivier and Drama Desk award nominations under her belt, LuPone remains one of musical theater’s most celebrated talents. And though she may venture into TV (“LBJ: The Early Years,” “Oz,” “30 Rock”) and film (City By The Sea, State and Main, Driving Miss Daisy) from time to time, her solo show Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda proves that the Long Island native remains most at home on the stage.
Misérables and Cole Porter’s Anything Goes (for which she earned another Tony nod). LuPone’s latest solo show, Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda, offers Broadway’s greatest diva since Ethel Merman a chance to perform songs from musicals in which she could’ve played, would’ve played, did play or will play, including beloved favorites from Evita and Gypsy. The set list is filled with songs from classic musicals such as Hair; Bye, Bye Birdie; Funny Girl; West Side Story; and Peter Pan, all of them born anew thanks to LuPone’s depth of emotion, dramatic gestures and signature knack for the dynamic knockout punch. While the Great White Way may be floundering, searching for new ways to “turn off the dark,” Patti LuPone reveals herself to be in peak form as Broadway’s reigning Grande Dame. And if Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda is any indication, she has no intention of relinquishing that crown anytime soon.
