With our flagship ensemble, the internationally acclaimed Senior Symphony, we pay tribute to the visionaries who formed and shaped MYSO in its infancy, upon which its 57 years of musical excellence are built. MYSO is a proud founding member of
Biogr aphies Mark Niehaus, Trumpet Mark Niehaus was appointed president and executive director of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra beginning in the 2012-13 season. As the principal trumpet of the MSO since 1998, Chairman of the Orchestra’s Players’ Council and active member of the MSO board, Niehaus brings knowledge of the industry, familiarity with MSO sponsors, ticketholders and community and a strong understanding of the organization’s long range plan. Mr. Niehaus began his professional career at the age of 18, still a freshman at The Juilliard School, when he assumed the post of principal trumpet of the New Haven Symphony. He remained with that orchestra for six years, while continuing his studies at Juilliard with Mark Gould and Raymond Mase. Upon graduation, he joined the faculty of The Juilliard School’s Pre-College division and was active in the Music Advancement Program. His studio was featured in a report on CBS’ 60 Minutes. Mr. Niehaus spent twelve summers at the Eastern Music Festival as principal trumpet of the faculty orchestra and spent summers at the Tanglewood Music Festival, National Repertory Orchestra, Pacific Music Festival, Spoleto USA and Colorado Music Festival. From 2006-2009, he was a member of the National Brass Virtuosi, a group comprised of principal players from the Cleveland, Houston and Milwaukee symphonies. In 2011, he was a featured lecturer and recitalist at the International Trumpet Guild Conference in Minneapolis. He also moderated and adjudicated the final rounds of the Orchestral and Solo competitions.

Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra
Before moving to Milwaukee, Mr. Niehaus spent three seasons as a member of the New World Symphony in Miami Beach, Florida with Artistic Director Michael Tilson Thomas. He may be heard on two RCA label recordings with the New World Symphony and Tilson Thomas: The Music of Villa Lobos and New World Jazz, on which he is a featured soloist. He returns to Miami regularly to teach and coach new generations of New World musicians. He has also served on the faculties of the North Carolina School of the Arts and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. In Milwaukee, Mr. Niehaus has been a featured soloist on several occasions, performing the Haydn Trumpet Concerto, Bach Cantata No. 51 and the Martin Concerto for Seven Winds. In the 201112 season, he performed the Arutunian Concerto and Bach’s Second Brandenburg Concerto. In the 2012-13 season, he will be featured in the Shostakovich Piano Concerto No. 1 in C for piano and trumpet. Mr. Niehaus recently completed a special recording project with the G. Schirmer Instrumental Library, The Trumpet Collection. Published in three volumes by Hal Leonard, it includes over 30 works and features companion recordings by Mr. Niehaus. The project presents a wide spectrum of trumpet literature appropriate for recitals and is available from major music retailers nationwide. Mr. Niehaus lives in Milwaukee with his wife and two sons and maintains an active teaching studio. He is proud to be the Cubmaster of Cub Scout Pack 398 and serves on the District Committee for the Milwaukee Boy Scout Council.

Margery Deutsch, Music Director Margery Deutsch has been Music Director of the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra’s Senior Symphony since 1987. Under her direction, the Senior Symphony toured China in 2007 and British Columbia in 2009; past tours include concerts in Austria, France, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Canada (Quebec) and Scotland, where the orchestra performed as part of the Festival of British Youth Orchestras and the Edinburgh Festival. In summer 2012, she led the Senior Symphony on a ten-day tour of Vienna and Prague where they were chosen to perform on the Gala Winners’ Concert as part of the 2012 Summa Cum Laude International Youth Music Festival. In 2000 the Senior Symphony was chosen as one of only five U.S. youth orchestras to participate in the National Youth Orchestra Festival in Sarasota, Florida. Deutsch has conducted the orchestra in performances at Carnegie Hall, Chicago’s Orchestra Hall, the Wisconsin Music Educators Conference (North Central Division) and the MidWest International Band and Orchestra Clinic. Deutsch and the orchestra were selected by famed bassist and author Barry Green (The Inner Game of Music) to serve as the demonstration orchestra for his series of ensemble workbooks and videotape. In 2007 MYSO received a “Meet the Composer” grant through Music Alive and the American Symphony Orchestra League for which Deutsch conducted the world premiere of a commissioned work by composer Jeffrey Mumford. Deutsch was Director of Orchestras and Professor of Conducting at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee from 1984-2012.

p r o g r a m n o t e s b y r o g e r r u g g e r i © 2 013 Modest Mussorgsky b. March 21, 1839; Karevo d. March 28, 1881; St. Petersburg “A Night on Bald Mountain,” Fantasy for Orchestra An interesting aspect of late-romanticism was the latter 19th-century’s fascination with witchcraft and the supernatural. Among the most vivid musical examples of those dark fantasies is Mussorgsky’s A Night on Bald Mountain. In the late 1860s, the composer sketched a work for piano and orchestra which he entitled St. John’s Eve. The work was designed to convey a sense of the evil festivities of the Witches’ Sabbath, an annual event allegedly taking place on the Feast of John the Baptist (June 24th) at “Bald Mountain” (Mt. Triglav), near Kiev. Dedicating his score to his colleague Mily Balakirev, Mussorgsky wrote to Rimsky-Korsakov (all part of the group of composers known as the “Russian Five”): “On 23 June, on the eve of St. John’s Day, I finished with God’s help St. John’s Night on Bald Mountain—a musical picture with the following program: (1) assembly of the witches, their chatter and gossip; (2) cortege of Satan; (3) unholy glorification of Satan; and (4) witches’ sabbat. Mussorgsky’s efforts lay dormant until the winter of 1871-72, when he was invited to contribute music to the opera, Mlada. Part of Mussorgsky’s assignment was to create music for a scene in which the Black Goat-God, Tchernobog, officiates at a sacrifice on Bald Mountain. Mussorgsky began to revise his earlier work, but, before he could complete it, the Mlada project was aborted. Although he later tried to incorporate this music into one of his own operas, Mussorgsky never actually completed a score of this, his only full orchestral work. After Mussorgsky’s death, Rimsky-Korsakov completed a regularized version of his friend’s score, thus producing the music that we know today as A Night on Bald Mountain. (Some have suggested that Rimsky’s version could more appropriately be called “Fantasy on Themes from A Night on Bald Mountain.”) Mussorgsky’s program for the work is printed in the score: “Subterranean din of supernatural voices. Appearance of Spirits of Darkness, followed by that of the god Tchernobog. Glorification of the Black God, the Black Mass. Witches’ Sabbath, interrupted at its height by the sounds of the far-off bell of the little church in a village. It disperses the Spirits of Darkness. Daybreak.” Alexander Grigoriyevich Arutiunian b. September 23, 1920; Yerevan, Armenia Trumpet Concerto in A-flat major Continuing the Armenian-Soviet expression of Khatchaturian, Arutiunian emerged as an important force in his region’s music after World War II. Both as a composer and as the director of the Armenian Philharmonic Society (1954-1990), he infused Russian music with the characteristic folk elements of his homeland. From among his many compositions, he is particularly celebrated for his concertos, especially this Trumpet Concerto. Originally planned in 1943 for the composer’s friend, Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra’s Principal Trumpet, Zsolak Vartasarian, this concerto project was shelved when the trumpeter died in World War II. Later completed in 1949-50, Arutiunian’s sixth major composition was first performed by Soviet trumpet player Aykaz Messiayan, who performed it in Moscow’s Tchaikovsky Hall. Cast in a single span, the Trumpet Concerto begins with a dramatic Andante introduction; Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra

before the soloist presents a melody of Armenian inflection. (Arutiunian asserts that he used no actual folk melodies.) A sprightly dance tune emerges (Allegro energico) and is then contrasted by a romantic melody reminiscent of Borodin. These ideas develop while progressing to a central section in which muted trumpet voices a reflective tango. The sprightly opening materials return, then are treated with syncopated development. The work culminates with a brief, but demanding cadenza, written in 1977 by the Soviet Russian virtuoso Timofei Dokschitzer, who made the first recording of this music. An exhilarating closing section completes the concerto. Dmitri Shostakovich b. September 25, 1906; St. Petersburg d. August 10, 1975; Moscow Symphony No. 5, Opus 47 The composition of the well-known Symphony No. 5 occurred at a crucial time in Shostakovich’s career. Following his graduation from the Leningrad Conservatory, his Symphony No. 1 scored tremendous popular and critical acclaim. Perhaps because of the pressures created by this early success, his subsequent symphonies became progressively more involved, diffuse and intellectual; his Fourth Symphony was withdrawn after a calamitous first rehearsal...it had to wait until 1962 for its first performance. A more immediate problem was that Stalin and the Party establishment had turned against him for his opera Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk and the ballet The Limpid Stream. In short, Shostakovich had fallen from favor in a society where such a misfortune could literally be fatal. Among the composer’s many attributes was a keen survival instinct. Seizing upon the occasion of the Soviet’s twentieth anniversary of the Revolution, he wrote another symphony for the celebration. It was a swiftly conceived work; he began on the 18th of April 1937, and completed it by July 20th. The work had clean lines, heroic strength and, when it was premiered in Leningrad on November 21, 1937, proved to have enormous audience appeal. Perhaps too, because he had subtitled the work “A Soviet Composer’s Reply to Just Criticism,” the critics outdid themselves with superlatives. Because of the symphony’s apparently rugged optimism and perhaps because the Soviets were joined in the struggle against the Axis forces, Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5 was widely performed during the dark days of World War II. At the time, Shostakovich said: “The theme of my Symphony is the stabilization of a personality. In the center of this composition—conceived lyrically from beginning to end—I saw a man with his experiences. The finale resolves the tragically tense impulses of the earlier movements into optimism and the joy of living.” According to Volkov’s controversial Testimony, it seems that few of Shostakovich’s earlier statements can merely be taken at face value. Referring to the majority of his symphonies as “tombstones” to friends who died under Stalinist repression, Shostakovich felt that the ironic joy of his symphony was perfectly understood by the audience in Leningrad ...many wept upon hearing the first performance. Still bristling about conductor Yevgeny Mravinsky’s comment that Shostakovich wanted to write an exultant finale for the Fifth, but “couldn’t manage it,” the composer exclaimed: “It never occurred to this man that I never thought about any exultant finales, for what exultation could there be? I think that it is clear to everyone what happens in the Fifth. The rejoicing is forced, created under threat, as in Boris Godunov. It’s as if someone were beating you with a stick and saying, ‘Your business is rejoicing, your business is rejoicing,’ and you rise, shaky, and go marching off, muttering, ‘Our business is rejoicing, our business is rejoicing.’ What kind of apotheosis is that? You have to be a complete oaf not to hear that. Fadeyev [author, 1901-1956] heard it, and he wrote in his diary, for his personal use, that the finale of the Fifth is irreparable tragedy.” 10

m i lwau k e e yo u t h s y m p h o n y o r c h e s t r a Celebrating 57 years of excellence, Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra (MYSO) has been instrumental in changing the lives of young people since 1956 when it began as a single orchestra of 30 musicians. Since its early beginnings it has grown to become, by several measures, the largest and most extensive youth orchestra program in the country. Serving more than 900 talented young musicians from as many as 14 counties in southeastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois, this award-winning program offers the highest level of training in ensemble musicianship to motivated young people from diverse backgrounds. Students with varied levels of instrumental skills benefit from the broad range of MYSO experiences, all created to foster talent, build character and enhance lives by nurturing an enduring love of music. In 2005, MYSO moved into the acclaimed Milwaukee Youth Arts Center (MYAC), a collaborative initiative of MYSO and First Stage. Home, also, to dance and vocal music training programs, this 56,000 sq. ft. state of the art facility in Milwaukee’s historic Schlitz Park is quickly becoming a national model for arts education, with a mission of using the arts to enhance all children’s lives. Several innovative MYSO offerings, prompted and made possible by the move, have received notable awards and recognition—locally, regionally and nationally. Particular recognition has come to MYSO for its ambitious efforts in outreach and community partnerships. Building on the rich past of its first half-century, MYSO combines many respected, established programs with exciting new ventures. Founded with assistance from the Junior League and Rotary Club of Milwaukee, MYSO has expanded its offerings to include: Senior Symphony—MYSO’s flagship ensemble, a full symphony orchestra made up of very advanced players, generally in the upper grades of high school. It has long been recognized as one of the nation’s top youth music ensembles, hailed for artistic excellence both nationally and internationally. Philharmonia—a full symphony orchestra which provides musicians with experience in preparing a great variety of shorter works from the romantic to postmodern periods; comprised generally of younger high school musicians. Chamber Orchestra—a subset of the Senior Symphony, this very advanced group is organized to play standard chamber orchestra repertoire—music not generally played by the large symphony orchestras. Sinfonia/Junior Symphony Orchestra—a large, intermediate-level string orchestra whose members are generally in middle school and early high school. In the spring, selected wind players from the Junior Wind Ensemble augment this group to form the Junior Symphony Orchestra, playing full orchestra literature. Junior Wind Ensemble—an intermediate-level wind ensemble comprised of woodwind, brass and percussion players in grades 6-9. String Orchestra—a string training program, which rehearses as four smaller groups at regional sites around the area (Central, North, South and West). These groups combine to perform as two large string orchestras. Prelude Orchestra—a small training program, which introduces the concepts of orchestral string playing in a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere tailored to elementary students. Chamber Flute Ensemble—an advanced, multi-part flute choir that works on cutting edge, advanced flute ensemble repertoire and more sophisticated arrangements of orchestral repertoire. 16

c o n t.
Flute Chorale—a multi-part flute choir that plays standard flute ensemble repertoire and arrangements of orchestral repertoire. Members are generally in middle school or early high school. Progressions—an intensive, introductory string training program consisting of lessons and orchestra experience; directed toward City of Milwaukee populations which have previously been under-represented in MYSO. Jazz Studies—a constellation of classes and small combo opportunities for middle and high school students, with a special focus on City of Milwaukee students. Calypso—a steel band in the Trinidadian tradition, originally formed in partnership with Milwaukee Public Schools. MYSO Strings Initiative in Waukesha—a beginning string instrument training program working with the urban Latino population in Waukesha. Students range from 8 to 18, with membership in most groups based on auditions. MYSO’s extensive schedule of rehearsals, performances, outreach initiatives and enrichment opportunities also includes: a large chamber music program, music theory and composition classes, “side-by-side” rehearsals which match less experienced players with those who are more advanced, free master classes, workshops, competitions, recitals, recording sessions, periodic international touring and much more. MYSO has partnered with numerous other organizations to better serve both students and community. Examples of these collaborations, in addition to the facility initiative with First Stage, include a well-established partnership with the Latino Arts Strings Program at the United Community Center, side-by-side reading workshops with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, an annual concert with the Milwaukee Children’s Choir, the John Downey Creation Project, a “new music” composition initiative with Present Music, a talent development partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs, ongoing programs in cooperation with Milwaukee Public Schools and periodic artistic initiatives with such groups as Danceworks, Master Singers and Milwaukee Choristers, Milwaukee Ballet and others. MYSO’s talented music faculty members blend creativity and pedagogical expertise with their great breadth of musical knowledge. They come from all corners of the musical world and include UW-Milwaukee faculty, Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra players, seasoned and recognized school educators and other noted area musicians. MYSO’s experienced, capable administrative staff has doubled the organization’s enrollment over the past fifteen years while successfully completing the fundraising for—and building of—MYAC, a major new community facility. The entire MYSO family is united in its dedication not only to training future performers and music educators but especially to instilling in many thousands of young people a much deeper appreciation of the arts—fine music in particular. While participation in most ensembles is tuition-based, MYSO has a longstanding commitment to making its programs available to all qualified musicians; scholarship assistance is available upon application, and no student shall be denied an opportunity to participate because of financial need. A major community initiative to raise $2 million in scholarship funds (“Fran’s Fund”) is nearing completion. MYSO has been a member of the United Performing Arts Fund since UPAF’s founding in 1969. MYSO exists—and thrives—thanks to UPAF and to the thousands of other generous donors who support its programs!

Mary MacDonald Kerr comes full circle as director of In Tandem Theatre’s 28
“Beast on the Moon” Footnotes
The emotionally powerful “Beast on the Moon,” written by Wisconsin playwright Richard Kalinoski, has been translated into 12 languages, produced in 17 countries around the world, and showered with awards. Set in Milwaukee in 1921, the play follows two survivors of the 1915 Armenian holocaust whose marriage is haunted by the psychological scars of their experiences. The husband, Aram, relocates to the United States after losing his entire family. He sends for a mail order bride to rebuild the family he has lost. Seta, a 15-year-old orphan, arrives full of hope and love for her new husband. When they discover she is barren, Aram retreats and it is up to Seta to teach her husband the difference between living fully and merely surviving. Mary MacDonald Kerr will direct, coming full circle since 1995 when she made her Milwaukee acting debut as Seta in the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre production of “Beast on the Moon.” Since that auspicious introduction to Milwaukee audiences, Mary has built a successful career as a theatre artist in Milwaukee for over 18 years, acting and directing at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater, Milwaukee Chamber Theatre, Renaissance Theaterworks, Next Act Theatre, Milwaukee Shakespeare, and First Stage. Grace DeWolff and Michael Cotey (founder of Youngblood Theatre) will play the young couple. Robert Spencer plays Older and Younger Vincent, an
Mary MacDonald Kerr as Seta in the 1995 Milwaukee Chamber Theatre production orphan whom Seta befriends and who narrates the story. In a 2010 article titled “Female directors take their place in Milwaukee theater” by Damien Jaques for OnMilwaukee.com, Kerr discussed the contrasting rewards of acting and directing. “I find the satisfaction in acting to be more on a physical level, literally feeling the events of the story, the joy and the pain -- riding the rollercoaster. The shared experience with the audience is quite wonderful -bringing them with you on the rollercoaster for the first time. “The satisfaction of directing is more intellectual, figuring out the puzzle, building the piece, unlocking the doors with the actors.” Cont’d on page 30

Kerr’s intimate knowledge of “Beast on the Moon” will undoubtedly give her the keys to “unlocking the doors” for the actors taking on these emotionally demanding roles and make her an empathetic director of this award-winning play. In Tandem Theatre presents “Beast on the Moon” March 1-24 at the Tenth Street Theatre located in the lower level of the “big red church” (Calvary Church) at the corner of 10th and Wisconsin Avenues.
