Sure, we’ve long been known for our undergraduate academic success. But there’s another group of students, already in the workplace, looking for a next step in their career. Many of them have found it with a master’s degree from Lipscomb. Last year, close to 1,700 professionals chose Lipscomb for an advanced degree— whether an entrepreneurial-driven MBA, a unique biomolecular science master’s that has already attracted students from

around the country, an informatics and analytics master’s helping IT specialists meet head-on real-world data trends and challenges, or one of more than 25 others offered on nights, weekends and online. In fact, our master’s programs have been so successful they’ve grown by 685% since 2005. A large number, indeed. But not all that surprising from a university whose growth has always been measured by how well it’s mastered its future.

MEET OUR MUSICIANS BAC K STAGE

Jessica Blackwell Violin Member of the Nashville Symphony since: 2009 Hometown: St. Louis, Missouri

What inspired you to pursue the violin? Was there a point at which you knew you wanted to be a professional musician? I decided I wanted to be an orchestral musician during my undergraduate studies. I was fortunate to attend a school with an exceptional orchestra program, led by Maestro Larry Rachleff. The combination of being a part of that ensemble and working with Mr. Rachleff, one of the most interesting musicians I know, inspired me towards this orchestral career. If you had the chance to meet any composer, living or dead, who would it be? I would love to meet Robert and Clara Schumann; I would like to ask them how their marriage survived all the trials they faced. I think Robert Schumann’s music is very poignant and intricate, due to how complex his personal life was, and I would love the opportunity to chat with him about that. What do you enjoy about performing with the Nashville Symphony? The thing I enjoy most about performing with the orchestra is how kind our audience is. I love looking out into the audience after we play and seeing genuine appreciation and happiness in people’s faces — this is extremely gratifying for me.

Do you teach at all, and how does that influence your experience as a member of the orchestra? I have the honor of teaching at Vanderbilt University’s Blair School of Music, and this is an invaluable part of my career as a musician. I learn an incredible amount from my students; my teaching balances the performance aspect of being a musician — I really couldn’t do one without the other. What is the most unusual thing that’s happened to you while performing onstage? Well, this didn’t happen to me, but one time I watched a YouTube video in which a dachshund puppy somehow ended up onstage during a performance of Handel’s Messiah. I secretly wish that would happen here — that my dachshund, Lollipop, would mysteriously wander onstage during a Nashville Symphony performance! What non-musical activity most inspires and energizes you? Right now I’m going through a DIY phase. I am trying out different sorts of projects, from invitation-making to glass-etching to flower arrangement.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

S PEC IAL EV ENT

West Side Story, directed by Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins, is ranked No. 41 on the American Film Institute’s 100 Greatest American Movies of All Time List. The second-highestgrossing film of 1961 (beaten only by One Hundred and One Dalmatians), it garnered 10 Academy Awards and still holds more Oscars than any other musical film. There have been vocal dissenters, including the critic Pauline Kael. The members of the creative team responsible for the original Broadway show themselves had mixed feelings about the screen version. Even co-director Jerome Robbins commented with chagrin that “occasionally, ‘Hollywood’ rears its ugly head,” and Leonard Bernstein expressed dissatisfaction with the sound production on the musical track. In any case, the extraordinary success of the film represents just another chapter in the larger cultural impact of West Side Story. Precisely on account of that iconic status, it’s easy to forget how risky and innovative was the original undertaking by Bernstein, Robbins, Arthur Laurents and the young Stephen Sondheim, who was brought on board to pen the lyrics. (West Side Story marked his Broadway debut.) The risks involved both the challenging subject matter and its treatment. With Robbins’ revolutionary choreography and Bernstein’s symphonically dense score eliciting powerful emotional resonance, West Side Story tightly integrated dance and music as the vehicles for its electric, thrilling, passionate narrative. This watershed project reached back as far back as 1949, when, according to Bernstein’s own timeline, “Jerry R. called… with a noble idea: a modern version of Romeo and Juliet set in slums at the coincidence of Easter-Passover celebrations.” Bernstein had first collaborated with Robbins in 1943 for the ballet Fancy Free, which became the kernel for his debut musical comedy of the following year, On the Town. Robbins and the rest of the team he assembled were convinced they were onto something big; they waited through years of postponement necessitated by other career obligations. And of course the original Jewish-Catholic scenario was replaced by one of warring gang factions. Bernstein relied on the team of Sid Ramin and Irwin Kostal to orchestrate the film score 16

(as they had for the stage version); they took one of the film’s litany of Oscars. For the 50th anniversary of West Side Story, MGM created a restored version in a high-definition print, incorporating a special new technique to isolate the vocals and dialogue so that an orchestra could perform live in synchronization with the screen images. Garth Edwin Sunderland from the Bernstein Office was then tasked with painstakingly re-creating and adapting the orchestration from reams of evidence (the original parts for the movie arrangement had been lost). From this in-depth research, he created an entire film score that makes tonight’s performance possible. “There’s a work there,” Bernstein wrote after the musical’s preview opening night in August 1957, “and whether it finally succeeds or not in Broadway terms, I am now convinced that what we dreamed all these years is possible; because there stands that tragic story, with a theme as profound as love versus hate, with all the theatrical risks of death and racial issues and young performers and ‘serious’ music and complicated balletics — and it all added up for audience and critics.” — Thomas May is the Nashvill Symphony’s program annotator.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM Originally called the Four Aims, Levi Stubbs, Abdul “Duke” Fakir, Renaldo “Obie” Benson and Lawrence Payton made their first single for Chess in 1956, and spent seven years on the road singing mostly jazz. Motown’s Berry Gordy Jr. signed them to be the marquee act for the company’s Workshop Jazz label. It wasn’t until they teamed with the writingproducing trio Holland-Dozier-Holland, however, that Stubbs’ powerhouse baritone and the exquisite harmonies of Fakir, Benson and Payton started making one smash after another. Their first Motown hit, “Baby I Need Your Loving,” made them stars in 1964. “I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch),” a No. 1 R&B and Pop smash in 1965, is one of Motown’s longestrunning chart toppers; it was followed by “It’s the Same Old Song” (No. 2 R&B/No. 5 Pop), “Reach Out I’ll Be There” (No. 1 R&B/No. 1 Pop), “Standing in the Shadows of Love” (No. 2 R&B/No. 6 Pop) and “Bernadette” (No. 3 R&B/No. 4 Pop). When Motown left Detroit in 1972 to move to

Los Angeles, the Tops decided to stay at home. They kept up a string of hits with ABC-Dunhill for the next few years: “Ain’t No Woman (Like the One I’ve Got),” “Keeper of the Castle,” “Are You Man Enough” and more. In 1980 the group moved to Casablanca Records. The following year they were at No. 1 again, with “When She Was My Girl.” In 1990, with 24 Top 40 pop hits to their credit, the Four Tops were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Following Payton’s death in 1997, the group briefly worked as a trio until Theo Peoples, a former Temptation, was recruited to restore the group to a quartet. When Stubbs subsequently grew ill, Peoples became the lead singer and former Motown artist-producer Ronnie McNeir was enlisted to fill Payton’s spot. In 2005, when Benson died, Payton’s son Roquel replaced him. “They were the best in my neighborhood in Detroit when I was growing up,” Smokey Robinson told Rolling Stone in 2004. “The Four Tops will always be one of the biggest and the best groups ever.” InConcert

ABOUT THE ARTIST JOHNNY MATHIS John Royce Mathis was born in 1935 in Gilmer, Texas. When he was a young child, he moved with his family to San Francisco. His father, Clem Mathis, worked briefly as a musician back in Texas playing the piano and singing on stage, and he taught his son many songs and routines. Johnny sang in the church choir, at school functions and community events, for visitors in their home and at amateur shows in the San Francisco area. In 1955, the still-teenaged Mathis landed a job singing weekends at Ann Dee’s 440 Club. George Avakian, then head of Jazz A&R at Columbia, came to the club, heard him sing and sent the now famous telegram to his record company: “Have found phenomenal 19-year-old boy who could go all the way. Send blank contracts.” Mathis made his first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1957, launching his career as a recording star.

Mathis’ accomplishments are numerous and varied, and he has set many precedents in the music industry. In 1958, Johnny’s Greatest Hits began a “Greatest Hits” tradition copied by every record company since then. It went on to become one of the most popular albums of all time, spending an unprecedented 490 continuous weeks on the Billboard Top Albums Chart. Mathis is one of only five recording artists to have Top 40 hits spanning the 1950s, ’60s, ’70s and ’80s. In 1972, Mathis was awarded his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and he has participated in the Academy Awards presentation many times to sing songs nominated in the Best Song category. He has received two GRAMMY® nominations and has been inducted into the GRAMMY® Hall of Fame two times. He was given the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences in 2004. InConcert

JOHN ADAMS

Milwaukee Symphony. The result was The Chairman Dances: Foxtrot for Orchestra, which has gone on to become one of his most popular short concert pieces. Adams turned the project into an opportunity to experiment with the new sound world he was beginning to imagine for Nixon. The Chairman Dances thus represents a somewhat unusual relationship to its operatic source: the composer characterizes it as an “outtake,” a “kind of warming up” for the full opera rather than an excerpt or a “fantasy on themes” from Nixon in China.

W H AT TO L I ST E N FO R

Born on February 15, 1947, in Worcester, Massachusetts; currently lives in Berkeley, California The Chairman Dances: Foxtrot for Orchestra Composed: 1985 First performance: January 31, 1986, Lukas Foss conducting the Milwaukee Symphony First Nashville Symphony performance: February 16 & 17, 1990, with Music Director Kenneth Schermerhorn Estimated length: 12 minutes

hen John Adams’ orchestral work Harmonielehre premiered in 1985, it marked the culmination of his first residency with the San Francisco Symphony. Soon thereafter Adams embarked on a bold new project that would be instrumental in sparking the still ongoing renaissance of contemporary American opera: Nixon in China. It was unveiled at Houston Grand Opera in 1987. The first of his ongoing collaborations with the imaginative and iconoclastic director Peter Sellars, Nixon spun a pivotal event in foreign affairs — the trip President Nixon made to normalize relations with the People’s Republic of China in 1972 — into a remarkable meditation on the clash of ideologies and the interplay of the personal with the political. Before he could get started on the opera, Adams needed to fulfill a commission from the National Endowment for the Arts for the

The moment in the opera that inspired Adams’ music for The Chairman Dances was intended for the opera’s final scene, in which political ceremony gives way to personal reminiscence and elegiac reflection. Chairman Mao and his younger wife (a former film and stage actress and a prime mover of the vicious Cultural Revolution) begin to dance a foxtrot. Adams’ music traces a cinema-like montage of surreal nostalgia as the dance evokes memories of their shared past. “Themes, sometimes slinky and sentimental, at others bravura and bounding,” he writes, “ride above in a bustling fabric of energized motives.” The precise scenario for which Adams imagined this dance was eventually changed for the actual opera. Sellars and the poet and librettist Alice Goodman originally described it as follows: “Chiang Ch’ing, a.k.a. Madame Mao, has gatecrashed the Presidential Banquet. She is first seen standing where she is most in the way of the waiters. After a few minutes, she brings out a box of paper lanterns and hangs them around the hall, then strips down to a cheongsam, skintight from neck to ankle and slit up the hip.

The Bass Whisperer: Concerto for Electric Bass and Orchestra Composed: 2014 as a co-commission from the Nashville Symphony and Giancarlo Guerrero, Music Director, and the Colorado Symphony, Scott O’Neil, Resident Conductor First performance: With these performances, the Nashville Symphony is giving the world premiere of The Bass Whisperer. Estimated length: 30 minutes

uring his tenure as music director, Giancarlo Guerrero has fostered an innovative series of collaborations between the Nashville Symphony and some of the city’s leading resident musicians from fields outside the usual classical orbit. “For me,” he remarks, “there’s only great music, and great artists.” Thus over the past several seasons audiences have witnessed the commissioning of concert works that merge the creative thinking of artists across a variety of musical genres with the magic of a full orchestra, whether in Béla Fleck’s banjo concerto The Impostor, Edgar Meyer’s Double Concerto for Violin and Double Bass, or Ben Folds’ recent Piano Concerto. Or Conni Ellisor’s Diaspora, a piece inspired by West African percussion. With The Bass Whisperer, Ellisor has joined forces with the extraordinary master of the bass, Victor Lemonte Wooten, to co-create a pioneering new fusion. The intention, as they put it, is “to bridge the classical tradition with the pop/jazz electric bass guitar tradition by creating a piece that is true to both.” Wooten adds that “we wanted to stretch the ears and imaginations of these two worlds by putting the electric bass in an arena people don’t usually associate with the instrument.” The Bass Whisperer is a first on several levels, and for both artists. Classically trained as a violinist, Ellisor has mixed genres and idioms

— from string quartet to bluegrass — to develop a lively American style with contemporary flair. She has also worked extensively as a session violinist and arranger and appears on numerous jazz recordings. Such classical compositions by Ellisor as Blackberry Winter (for mountain dulcimer and strings) have been featured on All Things Considered, while Nashville audiences may also know Ellisor’s work from her collaborations with Nashville Ballet, including the ghost storyinspired The Bell Witch. With this latest project, Ellisor is undertaking her first co-creation of a major musical work. The multiple-GRAMMY® Award-winning Wooten has been an active performer since the age of 5, when he began appearing with his family band of four brothers. After striking up a connection with Béla Fleck (and settling in Nashville), he became a founding member of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, with whom Wooten continues to enjoy international success. In 2011 Rolling Stone named him one of the Top Ten bassists of all time. Wooten is also an author — his novel The Music Lesson is used in curricula at the Berklee College of Music — and he combines his gifts as a naturalist and a teacher at Wooten Woods, on the Duck River outside Nashville, where he leads educational programs devoted to music and nature.

How did the division of labor work for both artists in co-writing The Bass Whisperer? Ellisor explains that Wooten initially sent her “assorted examples of his phenomenal groove playing, which was good because I could never imagine any of that was even possible!” She analyzed these and experimented with orchestration and textural ideas, listening to various bass and tuba concertos to glean tips for the most effective voicing of such a low lead instrument. “We traded ideas a lot,” says Ellisor, “both by sending files back and forth, working together in the same room, and even by Skype when Vic was on tour.” With its echo of dog or horse whisperers, explains Wooten, the title The Bass Whisperer was similarly meant to evoke what happens “when someone looks deeper into a particular subject or animal and relates to it in a unique way — usually in an enlightening, spiritual way.” Ellisor adds: “Vic is basically a teacher in everything he does with music, so in that sense he’s a ‘whisperer.’ ” In other words, the new concerto can be seen as a kind of self-portrait of Wooten, though he points out that “with Conni, I also get the help of someone else to paint that picture and give me another point of view as part of that.”

W HAT TO LISTE N F OR The Bass Whisperer “borrows from the infrastructure of the classical concerto, including the use of cadenzas, interplay between the soloist and the orchestra, and both lyrical and virtuosic components,” Ellisor explains. But that comes with some surprises, such as a variety of tempos in what is usually a slow central movement, and a grand “summing up” effect in the last part of the finale. Wooten also invented a special kind of playing for certain passages using a custom-made bow (slightly smaller than the usual double bass bow). “As in most contemporary concertos, we took liberties with the traditional form,” Ellisor points out. Overall, she adds, the concerto might be described as piece that contains “virtuosity, lyricism, a sense of humor, serious music with a playful edge.” The solo electric bass enters very soon after a short slow orchestral introduction. An important rhythmic motif is first played by the orchestral double bass, and “the strings respond with a 26

S EPTEM B ER 2 0 1 4

variation of what will be the main movement melody. This culminates in a full orchestra tutti that sets up Vic’s virtuosic groove,” writes Ellisor. “This is a technique I thought particularly suited to an electric bassist of Vic’s prowess, and since a piece marrying these two worlds of music has never been attempted before, we couldn’t resist.” The first of the concerto’s big cadenzas — to be totally improvised by Wooten — eventually arrives. The movement ends with a return of all of the themes. Wooten also points to the perspective of “being able to showcase the nature of my instrument so that I get underneath the orchestra players and lay down a bed to support them,” as opposed to the usual concerto idea of the soloist playing passages that are “flashy on top.” Against a gentle accompaniment of strings and percussion, the solo bass introduces the second movement’s main melody. Ellisor frequently doubles the bass with solo instruments to create a chamber music-like effect. The slow music gives way to an up-tempo section, a playful scherzo in mood. The faster section returns again after another version of the slow melody and a brief cadenza, now joined with the preceding material. The finale begins in a slow tempo, presenting an extended melody for the solo bass and clarinet. Ideas from the previous two movements, such as the bass motif from the first movement, recur throughout. Eventually, a “percussion loop” sets up the backdrop for still another cadenza, which is accompanied by the reappearance of earlier motifs in the orchestra. The slow melody that opened the movement takes on a much faster guise, with a humorous nod to Vivaldi’s high-energy music from the Baroque era as a musical in-joke. A recapitulation weaves together melodies from all three movements before Wooten again takes the spotlight and the orchestra joins him at full force to draw the curtain. Along with solo electric bass, The Bass Whisperer is scored for piccolo, flute, oboe, English horn, 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, bassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, harp and strings.

e’ve arrived at a point when it’s no longer possible to speak of “the American sound” — if indeed it ever was. There are, rather, many American sounds, each of which in its own way evokes a strong feeling of cultural connection to this vast, multilayered, at times contradictory nation. But a small number of pieces by American composers have become associated with solemn or important public occasions precisely because they suggest a widely shared vision. Lincoln Portrait ranks among the most famous of these; tellingly, it was inspired during a time of crisis. Not long after the attack on Pearl Harbor brought the United States into World War II, Aaron Copland was one of three composers asked

In keeping with the populist aim of Copland’s music from this period, the formal structure of Lincoln Portrait is transparent and easy to follow. The piece unfolds in three sections (slow, fast, slow), reserving the entrance of the speaker for the third. Copland builds the opening section by juxtaposing a solemn idea (“the mysterious sense of fatality that surrounds Lincoln’s personality,” in Copland’s phrase) with “Springfield Mountain,” an American folk tune he came to know specifically from a recording made by the Old Harp Singers of Nashville, reports Pollack. In the contrastingly fast-paced central section, Copland introduces an allusion to Stephen Foster’s famous song “Camptown Races,” emblematic of Lincoln’s lifetime. The InConcert

by the celebrity conductor André Kostelanetz to write orchestral pieces intended to comprise a “musical portrait gallery of great Americans.” (The other two were Jerome Kern of Show Boat fame and Virgil Thomson.) Copland s first choice of subject matter was Walt Whitman, but Kostelanetz preferred a political figure Mark Twain already having been selected by Kern so the composer turned his attention to Abraham Lincoln. Following the success of his ballet score Billy the Kid in 1939, Copland was on the verge of becoming an American legend. He went on to write the works that have remained his most popular in the following decade: along with Lincoln Portrait, the Fanfare for the Common Man (another patriotic World War II-related commission), Appalachian Spring and the Third Symphony in particular. Composers before Copland had certainly attempted combining an orchestral piece with dramatic narration, but his savvy choice of texts by Lincoln (taken from Lord Charnwood’s biography), which were linked together by quasiBiblical narrative comments, proved unusually compelling. The quotations, writes Howard Pollack, an eminent Copland biographer, “clearly bore on the current crisis.” Pollack also remarks that the composer’s recent efforts composing film scores, including music tailored to voice-overs, may have prompted the narrator idea in the first place.

cheerful strains eventually become militaristic, mimicking the frenzy of the battlefield. As the speaker enters, the material from the opening section returns with unforgettable resonance (particularly the solo trumpet’s restatement of the “Springfield Mountain” tune). The long list of artistic and political figures who have played the role of the speaker has added to the aura of this quintessentially American composition.

Along with a narrator, Lincoln Portrait is scored for 2 flutes (both doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, English horn (optional), 2 clarinets, bass clarinet (optional), 2 bassoons, contrabassoon (optional), 4 horns, 3 trumpets (3rd trumpet optional), 3 trombones,. tuba, timpani, percussion, celesta (optional), harp and strings.

HOWARD HANSON Born on October 28, 1896, in Wahoo, Nebraska; died on February 26, 1981, in Rochester, New York Symphony No. 2, Op. 30 “Romantic” Composed: 1930 First performance: November 28, 1930, with Serge Koussevitzky conducting the Boston Symphony Orchestra First Nashville Symphony performance: February 12, 1957, with Music Director Guy Taylor Estimated length: 30 minutes

hile Copland, a native of Brooklyn, created sonorities that have come to evoke the wide open spaces of the American prairie, his contemporary Howard Hanson actually hailed from those very prairies. Like many Midwestern settlers of the era, Hanson was a first-generation American, his parents having emigrated from Sweden. He subtitled the first of his seven symphonies “Nordic,” reflecting his fascination with Scandinavia, and he incorporated a particular affinity for early Sibelius — yet another musical evocation of “vast spaces”’ —into his sound world. As instinctively as a character in a Willa Cather novel, Hanson demonstrated an early sensitivity to music. He learned piano and cello in his youth while also beginning to compose. And Hanson also showed his natural tendency toward leadership and good musical citizenship early on. As a young man, he was personally chosen by the Kodak camera tycoon George Eastman to serve as 28

S EPTEM B ER 2 0 1 4

the first director of the newly established Eastman School of Music, the conservatory associated with the University of Rochester in upstate New York. Originally, the position had been offered to none other than Sibelius, by then nearing the end of his compositional career; Hanson was still in his late 20s. The Eastman School of Music became the hub of Hanson’s universe for the next four decades. His tenure as director established the conservatory’s reputation, and he used his skills as a conductor to champion an enormous amount of new music by other composers (more than 700), also making important recordings with the Eastman-Rochester Symphony Orchestra (later known as the Rochester Philharmonic, which Eastman also founded). Such open-mindedness makes for an interesting juxtaposition with Hanson’s avowed conservative aesthetic — a tendency very much characteristic of his Second Symphony, which

Hanson’s three-movement design is relatively compact — almost a neo-Classical tendency, you might even say — but the Second’s musical content conveys the emotional directness he associated with the Romantic spirit. In the opening slow introduction, for example, he uses a simple three-note motif to build a palpable sense of mystery and anticipation. The pace speeds up for the rousing main

theme, given by four horns; the brass contribute much of the signature sound of this score. Notice, too, the triplet pattern, which becomes an important rhythmic marker throughout. A reflective transition theme played by the oboe becomes significant as the music later develops. It prepares the way for a warm-blooded, expansive melody in the strings (featuring another prominent triplet pattern), which is enhanced by a beautifully shaped solo horn countermelody. Hanson uses the above materials not only for the first movement (longest of the three), but in the other two as well. His brand of Romanticism includes constructing a symphony rich in “organic” interconnections across the whole span, with new meanings accruing in later contexts — another influence from Sibelius. Thus the threenote motif of the introduction recurs as a foil in the middle of the slower second movement. Film fans might recognize the lyrical main theme here as music from the ending credits of Alien. (The filmmakers lifted Hanson’s music without permission.) Some listeners have also observed a kinship in general between the Second and John Williams’ Star Wars music. The final movement kicks off with a pattern that turns out to be accompaniment to a plucky main theme — again announced by four horns. After a second theme in cellos and then English horn, Hanson introduces a section of horn calls and fanfares, building to another statement of the first movement’s main theme, now juxtaposed against the fanfare ideas. The Alien theme recurs in an apotheosis before the Second Symphony culminates in an all-stops-out treatment of the rousing fanfare music.

has become arguably his most popular work. Aaron Copland, for example, disdained Hanson’s work for not being more adventurous, although Hanson was a generous advocate of his music. The musicologist Richard Taruskin classifies Hanson as one of the heads, alongside the Oklahoma-born composer Roy Harris, of “a distinctive ‘school’ of American symphonic writing [that] flourished during the Depression years.” (This music was encouraged by President Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administration program at the time.) Taruskin adds that Hanson’s Second and Third Symphonies, along with Harris’ influential Third, could be seen “as exemplifying the high symphonic rhetoric of Depression-era America.” Hanson’s Second was one of several major compositions commissioned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Boston Symphony. By this point in music history, Romanticism had come to be regarded as outmoded, out of tune with the austerity and “objectivity” mandated by modernism. Hanson’s title “Romantic” was intended not to point to a particular program, but rather to serve as an artistic manifesto — “to create a work young in spirit, romantic in temperament, and simple and direct in expression,” as the composer himself put it. The Second, Hanson explained, “represents for me my escape from the rather bitter type of modern musical realism which occupies so large a place in contemporary thought. Much contemporary music seems to me to be showing a tendency to become entirely too cerebral. I do not believe that music is primarily a matter of intellect, but rather a manifestation of the emotions.”

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

C L ASS ICAL S ERIES

VICTOR WOOTEN, electric bass The youngest of five boys, Victor Lemonte Wooten began learning to play music at age 2. He started performing as the bassist with his family band at age 5, and at age 6 he was on tour with his brothers opening shows for soul artist Curtis Mayfield. Soon after, he was affectionately known as the 8-year-old Bass Ace, and before graduating high school, he and his brothers had shared the stage with artists such as Stephanie Mills, War, Ramsey Lewis and The Temptations. Wooten, now a five-time GRAMMY® winner, hit the worldwide scene in 1990 as a founding member of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones. Continuing to blaze a musical trail with the band, he has also become known for his own GRAMMY®-nominated solo recordings and tours. He is a loving husband and father of four, a naturalist and teacher, an author, a magician and acrobat, and has won every major award given to a bass guitarist. Voted Bassist of the Year in Bass Player Magazine’s readers poll three times, he was also named one of the top 10 bassists of all time by Rolling Stone. Wooten has worked with artists including Chick Corea, The Dave Matthews Band, Bootsy Collins, Branford Marsalis, Prince and many others. Musicians wanting to learn his unique style and elusive techniques have sought him out for lessons and seminars at music stores and schools around the world. These workshops became the training ground that led to the formation of his Bass/Nature Camp in 2000, which eventually expanded into Victor Wooten’s Center for Music and Nature. Wooten’s reputation as a teacher and speaker/ lecturer have garnered invitations for him to speak and teach at universities and spiritual centers around the world, including Strathmore College, Berklee College of Music, Stanford University, Harvard, Mississippi State and Miami University.

As an opera conductor, Parameswaran made his Curtis Opera Theater debut conducting a doublebill of works by Davies and Handel. He served as the assistant conductor of Curtis Opera Theater productions of Les Mamelles de Tirésias, The Cunning Little Vixen and Elegy for Young Lovers. A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, Parameswaran holds a Bachelor of Arts in music and political science from Brown University, where he graduated with honors. At Brown, he began his conducting studies with Paul Phillips. He received a diploma from The Curtis Institute of Music, where he studied with Otto-Werner Mueller, distinguished conducting pedagogue, as the Albert M. Greenfield Fellow.
