WELCOME Timeless tunes have no expiration date. This month, we are thrilled to present a musical trifecta that perfectly encapsulates this idea: the Utah Symphony performing Beethoven’s 9th, the incomparable Audra McDonald, and Postmodern Jukebox. Imagine a musical composition so universal that it transcends time and genre to resonate with listeners of every age and preference. That’s Beethoven’s 9th Symphony for you. This isn’t just ‘classical music’ — it’s a soundtrack to humanity. The power of Beethoven’s symphony lies in its ability to speak a language that every heart understands, regardless of whether or not you’re an aficionado. Enter Audra McDonald, a powerhouse presence, making the classics feel like they were written yesterday. Audra doesn’t just sing; she brings stories to life, infusing oldschool charm into songs that might not be on your usual playlist but will surely find a place in your memory. Her renditions of the Great American Songbook aren’t a history lesson, they’re a mixtape of the human experience. Next up is Postmodern Jukebox, a musical collective that’s all about breaking down the boundaries of time with style. Regardless of whether you grew up with vinyl records or streaming services, their performances are a whirlwind tour through the decades that’ll make you want to tap your feet. Here’s to the music that brings us together, the wonderful artists who make it all happen, and of course our amazing donors. Your support doesn’t just fund a show; it ignites our community’s love for live music and keeps the melodies playing, the lights shining, and the curtains rising. Because of you, audiences of all ages get to experience timeless tunes. Thanks for joining us this evening and we hope to see you back again soon.

ONSTAGE OGDEN
In 1949, Beverly Lund and Ginny Mathei decided they wanted to add even more culture to Weber County. So, for the small fee of $400, they brought the Utah Symphony to Ogden for a single performance. Three hundred people attended the concert. This 1949 concert was a big success, so the women decided to present even more concerts in Ogden. They organized a committee within the Welfare League (later the Junior League) to raise funds for the Symphony Concerts. Then, in 1957, this committee reformed and incorporated as the Ogden Guild. After a few more name changes and the addition of Ballet West performances in 1982, the organization became the Ogden Symphony Ballet Association. Under the direction of numerous board members and long-serving Executive Directors like Jean Pell (27 years), and Sharon Macfarlane (14 years), Onstage Ogden has expanded our programming to include internationally renowned classical dance, vocal, and chamber music. Since our inception, we have presented over 800 performances to tens of thousands of Utahns. In addition, Onstage Ogden actively works to engage and educate younger patrons. For example, our Youth Guild has provided generations of high school students with opportunities to serve. We also offer a variety of education classes, from Masterworks Music Detectives to Music and Dance Explorers. And we are partnering with several local community organizations to expand these programs to reach even more children and students. Onstage Ogden is proud to celebrate over 70 years sponsoring only the finest music and dance in the Greater Ogden area. We believe the arts have the power to inspire and uplift, and we are firmly committed to providing everyone in our community with greater access to the arts.

HISTORY OF THE MUSIC
Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, op. 125 (“Choral”)
Duration: 65 minutes in four movements.
THE COMPOSER – LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN (1770–1827) – When nearing the completion of what was to be his final symphony, the 9th, Beethoven initially considered a premiere location outside of Vienna. At the time, he harbored significant displeasure with the Austrian capital’s lack of support for serious music in general, and his music in particular. No longer interested in his concerti, sonatas, or symphonies, Beethoven believed, Viennese audiences were instead rushing to hear Rossini operas and other “light” populist fare. But he was wrong. When he made contact with promoters in Berlin regarding the 9th, word quickly spread in Vienna and his many admirers there presented him with a letter of support that included a successful plea on behalf of the city and its audiences.
THE HISTORY – The 9th Symphony is difficult to define adequately, so massive was its scope and so indelible its historical importance. The work stood guard over the entirety of the 19th century, inspiring nearly every future composer to seek previously unknowable possibilities in the genre of the symphony. Beethoven ignored the limits of rhythm, harmony, structure, and nearly every other Classical-era convention in this piece and the famous fourth movement defies even contemporary attempts at classification. That such disparate elements – from the Turkish March to Friedrich Schiller’s “Ode to Joy” to the fragmentary backward glances to the prior movements – could be so richly
By Jeff Counts
interwoven over its 24 minutes serves as final confirmation of Beethoven’s topmost place among the gods of our musical pantheon. Few have summed up this music better than author and scholar Jan Swafford, who said “The Ninth Symphony, forming and dissolving before our ears in its beauty and terror and simplicity and complexity, is itself Beethoven’s embrace for the millions…” He’s referring to the millions (us) mentioned in Schiller’s text. The May 7, 1824 premiere at Vienna’s Kärntnertortheatre surely ranks among the greatest public triumphs of his life. On the concert with the “Choral” Symphony were the Consecration of the House Overture and three sections of the Missa Solemnis. The sold-out house was incredibly enthusiastic and their ovation at the close of the symphony created one of the most poignant moments of the composer’s career. Beethoven, then fully deaf, continued to leaf through his score until one of the soloists got his attention and pointed to the cheering Viennese audience, to whom he politely bowed. It feels tragic now to recall the repeat performance which occurred a little over two weeks later – a poorly attended, financially disastrous affair that would be Beethoven’s last concert.
THE WORLD – Elsewhere in 1824, the U.S. saw the creation of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Simón Bolívar was installed as dictator of Peru, New Holland was renamed Australia, Stonewall Jackson was born, and Lord Byron died.
THE CONNECTION – Beethoven 9 has been programmed frequently over the years by Utah Symphony. The most recent performance was in September 2018 under Thierry Fischer.
