MEET OUR
MUSIC DIRECTOR & CONDUCTOR Matthew Kraemer Recognized for his “musical sensitivity” and “energized sense of interpretation”, Matthew Kraemer is making his mark among young American conductors for his inspired performances and versatility. The Buffalo News notes, “He presents a tall, dignified and stately podium presence with a quite clear beat, a good sense of shaping melodic lines, and an all-business attitude that focuses on the music without any histrionics.” Kraemer was appointed Music Director and Principal Conductor of the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra in 2015 and recently extended his commitment through 2023. He also serves as Music Director of the Butler County (PA) Symphony and the Marion (IN) Philharmonic. His active guest conducting schedule includes appearances with many of the nation’s finest orchestras, including the Atlanta, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Columbus, Houston, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Nashville, North Carolina, Saint Louis, Spokane, Syracuse, and Toledo symphony orchestras, as well as Canada’s Mississauga Symphony, Niagara Symphony, and Hamilton Philharmonic and in Europe with the Vidin Philharmonic and the Orquesta de Cadaqués. Other highlights include performances with Amy Porter, Orion Weiss, and the PRISM Quartet, in addition to engagements with the Arkansas, Toledo, and Virginia Symphonies, Louisiana Philharmonic, and Rochester Philharmonic. Kraemer served as associate conductor of the Buffalo Philharmonic from 2009 to 2014, where he regularly led the orchestra on each of its concert series. The BPO’s award-winning education concerts grew exponentially under his leadership, expanding to reach over 40,000 students throughout western New York. A passionate advocate for new music, he has performed the works of many living composers during his career. Kraemer served as Music Director of the Erie Chamber Orchestra (2012-2017) and associate conductor of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra (2007-2010). His performances are broadcast regularly on NPR’s Performance Today. Recipient of the distinguished Herbert von Karajan Conducting Fellowship and the Bruno Walter Career Development Grant, Kraemer served a residency with the Vienna Philharmonic at the 2006 Salzburg Music Festival. Equally at home in the opera pit, his credits include fully-staged productions of The Magic Flute, The Barber of Seville, Madame Butterfly, La Traviata, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Happy Birthday Wanda June (world premiere), Trouble in Tahiti, and Mansfield Park (American professional premiere).

GUEST ARTIST Hector Del Curto Praised by The New York Times as a “splendid player,” Argentinean bandoneonist Héctor Del Curto’s career, spanning for more than twenty–five years, has encompassed the traditional Tango, New Tango, Jazz, Classical and World music. As one of the most sought–after bandoneonist, he has performed with luminaries across many musical genres including the Tango legends, Astor Piazzolla and Osvaldo Pugliese, latin jazz giant Paquito D’Rivera, jazz violinst Regina Carter, saxophonist Joe Lovano, violinist Cho–Liang Lin and appeared with prestigious orchestras such as Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, St Louis Symphony Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, Mobile Symphony and Buenos Aires Symphony Orchestra. Born into a family of bandoneon players, Mr. Del Curto was introduced to the world of Tango and bandoneon by his grandfather, Héctor Cristobal. By the age of 17, he had won the title “Best Bandoneon Player Under 25” in Argentina, and was invited to join the orchestra of the legendary Osvaldo Pugliese, the “Last Giant of Tango.” In 1999, Mr. Del Curto received the Golden Note Award from the Italian–American Network in recognition of his artistic achievements. As a music director, he directed the spectacular show Forever Tango on Broadway and founded the Eternal Tango Orchestra, a ten piece ensemble. Since the Lincoln Center début in 2003, the Eternal Tango Orchestra (now the Hector Del Curto Tango Orchestra) returned to Lincoln Center for three more engagements and performed at other various venues including the Skirball Center for Performing Arts. His celebrated quintet has appeared in venues and festivals such as Lincoln Center, Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College, Eastman School of Music, Bay Chambers Concerts, National Folk Festival, Levitt Pavilion for the Performing Arts, Fiesta Iberoamericano de las Artes in Puerto Rico, Festival Internacional da Safona and Copa Fest in Brazil among many others. A musician who is dedicated to the education, outreach and preservation of tango music, Mr. Del Curto founded the Stowe Tango Music Festival, the premier tango music festival in the United States, noted both for its unique series of performances and its high level of musical training. As the festival’s Artistic Director, he directs the Stowe Tango Music Festival Orchestra, a 20 plus piece tango orchestra comprised of an extraordinary group of selected students from all over the globe and world-class artists including guest tango legends from Argentina. Mr. Del Curto recently produced and released his second album Eternal Piazzolla featuring his quintet with a sold out CD release concert at Le Poisson Rouge in New York City. He was featured along with his first CD Eternal Tango on BBC News which was televised nationally and internationally and on Public Radio International’s The World. He appears in numerous recordings with artists such as Osvaldo Pugliese and Astor Piazzolla on Finally Together (Lucho), Pablo Ziegler on the albums Asphalto, Quintet for the New Tango (BMG), and Tango & All That Jazz, Paquito D’Rivera on Funk Tango, Jazz Clazz and Panamericana Suite Tito Puente and Eddie Palmieri on Masterpiece, Plácido Domingo’s Encanto del Mar (Sony Classical), Erwin Schrott on Rojotango (Sony Classical), Denyce Graves’ The Lost Days (BMG), Absolute Ensemble on Bach Reinvented (Sony Classical), Fernando Otero on Plan, Vital and Pagina de Buenos Aires, Ricardo Arjona’s Quién Dijo Ayer and Santo Pecado (Sony International), and Shakira’s Laundry Service.

ABOUT SPHINX ORGANIZATION The Sphinx Organization is the Detroit-based national organization dedicated to transforming lives through the power of diversity in the arts. Led by Afa S. Dworkin, its President and Artistic Director, Sphinx programs reach over 100,000 students, as well as live and broadcast audiences of over two million annually. Afa Dworkin’s work as the organization’s long time Artistic Director, and now President, has been recognized globally. She was named one of the 30 Most Influential People by Musical America, Detroit’s “40 Under 40” by Crain’s Detroit Business, in addition to being a frequent speaker on the importance of inclusion and music education at conferences nationwide and abroad, including the League of American Orchestras, Chamber Music America, Americans for the Arts, International Arts and Ideas Festival and beyond. Ms. Dworkin also serves as faculty for Roosevelt University’s Master’s Program in Performing Arts Administration. The organization’s founding and mission were informed by the life experiences of Aaron Dworkin, who, as a young Black violinist, was acutely aware of the lack of diversity both on stage and in the audience in concert halls. He founded Sphinx while an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan, to address the stark under-representation of people of color in classical music. President Obama’s first appointment to the National Council on the Arts, Aaron P. Dworkin is Professor for Art Entrepreneurship and Leadership at University of Michigan’s School of Music, Theatre & Dance. Sphinx works to create positive change in the arts field and in communities across the country through a variety of programs organized into four main principles: education and access, artist development, performing artists, and arts leadership.

PROGRAM NOTES Concertino Cusqueño (2012) born September 1972 in Berkeley, California
Gabriela Lena Frank
Gabriela Lena Frank is an American composer and pianist with a richly diverse ethnic heritage. Her father, whose parents were Jewish and from Lithuania, served in the Peace Corps in Peru, where he met her mother, a Peruvian with a Chinese parent. She earned her first two degrees at Rice University and completed her Doctorate in Music at the University of Michigan in 2001, studying with Michael Daugherty, William Bolcom and Leslie Bassett. She was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to assist her compositional studies. The Groves Dictionary of American Music states: “Her compositions work both as absolute music and as means to tell stories and describe characters . . . Frank’s compositional style emphasizes traditional and synthesized dance rhythms and a quasi-vocal sense of lyricism, while technically her writing emphasizes instrumental virtuosity.” Concertino Cusqueño incorporates a melody from Cusco (which provides the adjective cusqueño), which was the capital of the Incan empire and near to the famed Machu Picchu site. The work begins with an impressive duet between two instruments not frequently featured in soloist roles, the piccolo and the bass clarinet. The celeste and timpani add a mysterious backing to the woodwind melodies. There are also major solo roles for the principal string players, especially the violin and cello. One of the composer’s heroes was twentieth-century British composer Benjamin Britten, and she refers to him with subtle quotations from his melodies. Concertino Cusqueño is scored for 2 flutes (one doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, 2 clarinets (one doubling bass clarinet), 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, harp, celeste, timpani, snare drum, 2 suspended cymbals, 2 triangles, 2 marimbas and strings. The work’s duration is about ten minutes. In the news in 2012: The Encyclopedia Britannica ends its print edition after 246 years and Barack Obama is elected President of the United States and Vladimir Putin is elected President of Russia; Whitney Houston, trumpeter Maurice Andrè, Gore Vidal and Donna Summer die; the word “hot take” enters the English language. Five years after the composer’s death, Karlheinz Stockhausen’s opera Mittwoch aus Licht is premiered by the Birmingham Opera Company, and American Kevin Puts wins the Pulitzer Prize for his opera Silent Night. Meanwhile in Indianapolis: Republican Greg Ballard is Mayor; Eli Manning leads the New York Giants over the hated New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI at Lucas Oil Stadium; an arson-caused explosion destroys several houses and kills 2 in the southside Richmond Hill neighborhood; Dario Franchitti wins the Indianapolis 500 after a breath-taking failed pass attempt for the lead by Takuma Sato on the first turn of the final lap. Four Seasons of Buenos Aires (after Vivaldi) (1965-1970) born 11 March 1921 in Mar del Plata, Argentina died 4 July 1992 in Buenos Aires
Astor Piazzolla
We celebrate the centennial of Astor Piazzolla, who created a sensation by adding elements of classical music and jazz to the traditional dance of the tango. He wrote Four Seasons originally for a quintet of piano, bandoneón, violin, electric guitar and bass. Each
movement was written separately over the course of five years – the first was the summer movement, Verano Porteño, which was written in 1965 as incidental music to the play Melenita de oro by Alberto Rodríguez Muñoz. The adjective Porteño (or in the feminine Porteña) refers to a person from the area around the Argentinian capital Buenos Aires. Otoño Porteño (autumn) was composed in 1969 and it opens with a sound that will soon be quite familiar in Indiana – the cicada (chicharra). This raspy sound effect is a staple of Piazzolla works. It is created by scraping the bow over the strings. The remaining two movements, Primavera Porteña (Spring) and Invierno Porteño (Winter), were completed in 1970. He uses subtle references to Antonio Vivaldi’s 1717 masterpiece – a set of four violin concertos that employed sonic effects portraying the spirit of the seasons. Pablo Ziegler created the orchestral arrangement and it is scored for flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, 2 horns, piano, guiro, hi-hat, tom-tom, bass drum, crash cymbal, strings and bandoneón. The duration of the work is about twenty-five minutes. In the news in 1970: The crew of Apollo 13 survives a nearly disastrous oxygen tank explosion and nurses the craft to Earth safely; Paul McCartney leaves The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel release their last album as a duo – Bridge Over Troubled Waters; the American and National Football leagues merge, cigarette advertisements on television are banned, and the Ford Pinto is introduced; four Kent State students are killed during a Viet Nam War protest. Meanwhile in Indianapolis: The population is 745,000 and the Indianapolis City-County Council is established; the Indianapolis Museum of Art relocates to an estate donated by the family of J. K. Lilly; Al Unser wins his first Indianapolis 500 from the pole position; undefeated East Chicago Roosevelt defeated Carmel to win the Indiana High School Basketball tournament. Variaciones concertantes, opus 23 (1953) born 11 April 1916 in Buenos Aires died 25 June 1983 in Geneva, Switzerland
Alberto Ginastera
Alberto Ginastera was born in Buenos Aires to a Spanish father and an Italian mother. He studied music and graduated from the Williams Conservatory in Buenos Aires in 1938, after which he taught music and composition at the Liceo Militair General San Martin until he came to the United States from 1945 to 1947 and studied with Aaron Copland at the Tanglewood Institute. He returned to Buenos Aires where one of his composition students was Astor Piazzolla. Unlike many composers who did not like to classify their works by era, Ginastera embraced the practice. He named three periods: “Objective Nationalism” from 1934-1948, “Subjective Nationalism” from 1948-1958, and “Neo-expressionism” from 1958 until his death. Ginastera returned to the United States in 1968 and then moved to Europe in 1970, where he stayed until he died in 1983 in Geneva. He was buried there in the Cimitière des Rois in that city This evening’s work is a series of ten short variations set as solos and duets for much of the orchestra. The harp and cello present the theme in a simple and elegant melody with arpeggiated chords. This is followed by an interlude featuring the full string section and then the series of variations begins with flute and then clarinet. The composer observed that “instead of using folkloric materials, an Argentine atmosphere is obtained by using original melodies and rhythms with a pronounced Argentine accent.” This quote was from a William Runyan essay.
PROGRAM NOTES CONTINUED Ginastera embraced a remarkable variety of forms and compositional techniques, from very traditional to microtonal (employing intervals smaller than a half-step), serial (using selected rows of pitches in varying formats), and aleatoric or chance configurations. His list of works includes opera, piano solo works, chamber music for a wide range of instruments and choral music. The work is scored for 2 flutes (one doubling piccolo), oboe, 2 clarinets, bassoon, 2 horns, trumpet, trombone, harp, timpani and strings and its duration is about twenty-five minutes. In the news in 1953: Dwight David Eisenhower was sworn in as the 34th President; Joseph Stalin and Sergei Prokofiev both die in the USSR on March 5; it is a good year for the birth of singers (Pat Benatar, Michael Bolton, Chaka Kahn) and conductors (Valery Gergiev, Riccardo Chailly, Hugh Wolff); two important plays premiere – Samuel Becket’s Waiting for Godot and Arthur Miller’s The Crucible; Hugh Hefner publishes the first edition of Playboy, which featured photos of Marilyn Monroe. Meanwhile in Indianapolis: The population is 427,000 and Alex M. Clark is the Mayor; the Indianapolis Indians baseball team was a minor league affiliate of the Cleveland Indians and was managed by Birdie Tebbetts – their star outfielder was Wally Post; Indianapolis Star comic strips included Judge Parker, Blondie, Steve Canyon and Rusty Riley. Bill Vukovich lead 195 laps in winning the first of two consecutive Indianapolis 500s, and Sid Collins was the Chief Announcer for the second year. He coined the term “the greatest spectacle in racing.” Libertango (1974) Astor Piazzolla born 11 March 1921 in Mar del Plata, Argentina died 4 July 1992 in Buenos Aires Musicologist William Ruyan said of Piazzolla: “Every artist aspires to develop a personal voice, and every good artist eventually does so. But few arrive at a style so personal and so reflective of a unique vision that, while nonetheless achieving great international popularity, it is strictly sui generis [unique]. The music of Astor Piazzolla is just that. Single handedly he created a musical genre and style that began with the traditional elements of the Argentine tango but was infused with so much of advanced twentieth century ‘classical’ techniques, that the result almost obscures the popular roots. Jazz, Stravinsky, Bartok, dissonance, counterpoint, ubiquitous chromaticism, and varied instrumentation – they all are incorporated into Piazzolla’s take on the tango.” Perhaps no other composer has so inhabited a dance – with the possible exception of Johann Strauss, Jr. with the waltz. Both are completely joined with the dance in which they reveled. Piazzolla was born in Mar del Plata, a significant Argentine city about 250 miles south of Buenos Aires with popular beaches on the Atlantic, but his family moved to New York City when he was three years old. He listened to records of both classical and modern music constantly, and when his father found a bandoneón in a pawn shop he found a new escape. The bandoneón is an Argentinian musical instrument related to the accordion and the concertina. When he met that most famous Argentine tango musician he was inspired even further. Carlos Gardel (1890-1935) was a singer, songwriter and actor who was the
most famous figure in the history of the tango until Piazzolla. Gardel was killed in a plane crash at the height of his fame and became an almost mythical figure. Piazzolla moved back to Argentina in 1936 and he immersed himself in both the study of European classical music as well as traditional Argentinian music, especially the tango. He studied with Alberto Ginastera, who introduced him to jazz and the modernist mid-century classical music. In 1953 he composed a symphony and was awarded a prize that allowed him to travel to Paris to study with the legendary composer whisperer Nadia Boulanger. It was she who convinced him to keep up his work on the tango rather than following the trends of Bartok and Stravinsky. Libertango has been recorded by more than 500 artists in many formats and stylistic treatments. It is one of Piazzolla’s most popular creations. Pablo Ziegler arranged the orchestration for this performance for flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, 2 horns, piano, drum-set and strings. Its duration is about six minutes. In the news in 1974: Richard Nixon resigns the Presidency following the Watergate scandal; Patty Hearst is kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army and later participates in a bank robbery in San Francisco; People magazine debuts with Mia Farrow on the cover, and Lucille Ball ends a 23-year run on television; the Terracotta Army is discovered in China, and Hank Aaron breaks Babe Ruth’s record with his 715th homer; Dungeons and Dragons makes its debut, and John Lennon makes his final live stage appearance when he joins Elton John in a concert. Meanwhile in Indianapolis: The population is about 755,000 and Richard Lugar is in his second term as Mayor. Among the songs performed by Elvis Presley at the Indiana Convention Center were opener See See Rider Blues, Polk Salad Annie and closer I Can’t Help Falling in Love. The Indiana Pacers featured such fan favorites as George McGinnis, Bob Netolicky, Roger Brown, Darnell Hillman and coach Bobby “Slick” Leonard. Coach Bob Dille led Fort Wayne Northrop to a close win over Jeffersonville in the Indiana State Basketball championship and Johnny Rutherford won the Indy 500 from the 25th starting position. Oblivion (1982) Astor Piazzolla born 11 March 1921 in Mar del Plata, Argentina died 4 July 1992 in Buenos Aires Astor Piazzolla had a number of fortunate coincidence meetings involving famous musicians. The great pianist Arthur Rubinstein (1887-1982) noticed him while Piazzolla was playing a bandoneón, and it was Rubinstein who encouraged Piazzolla to study with Alberto Ginastera. Ginastera then suggested that Piazzolla enter one of his compositions in a major competition, and by winning this competition his prize was a scholarship to study in Paris with Nadia Boulanger, who then was the musician who convinced him to stay true to his roots in Argentina rather than following the trend of European avant-garde composers. Piazzolla fled Argentina during the time called “The Dirty War,” an era from roughly 1974 to 1983 in which a dictatorship ruled the nation and during which thousands of political opponents were “disappeared.” He spent much of that time in Italy, and while he was there, he composed Oblivion as part of a film score that he wrote for the Mario Bellochio film Enrico IV. It is written in the style of a milonga, a dance form that predated
the tango in Argentina. A milonga is a syncopated – unusual accent patterns such as ragtime in America – dance that originated in northern Argentina and Uruguay. It is considered a precursor to the tango, and the two dances flourished together for a time. Fernando Otero (b. 1972) is a composer who has done for the milonga the same sort of “classical” musical treatment that Piazzolla gave to the tango. This work was arranged by Pablo Ziegler for orchestra and is scored for flute, oboe, bassoon, harp, piano, triangle, suspended cymbal, bell-tree, vibraphone, chimes, strings and bandoneón. The duration is about five minutes. In the news in 1982: The Commodore 64 computer makes its appearance and the DeLorean automobile company ends production; the Vietnam Veterans Monument is started in Washington, D. C. and the Falkland Island War breaks out between Argentina and Great Britain; Orioles shortstop Cal Ripken, Jr. plays the first of his eventual record breaking streak of 2,632 consecutive games; Stephen Spielberg’s film E. T. – The Extraterrestrial premieres, and it is the highest grossing film of the 1980s; EPCOT Center opens in Walt Disney World in Orlando. Meanwhile in Indianapolis: The population is 700,000 and American United Life Insurance Company completes the construction of the 38-story One America Tower, which at the time was the tallest building in the state; Connersville defeats Anderson 63-62 to win the Indiana State High School Basketball championship; William Hudnut was in his second term as Mayor, a time during which the downtown was revitalized; Gordon Johncock crossed the line less than 2 tenths of a second ahead of Rick Mears to win the closest Indy 500 to that point.
