SEASON
2023 2024 WINTER
Preprint
WELCOME Welcome to 2024 and another exciting year with Onstage Ogden. We’re kicking off the new year with an incredible lineup, and whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned concert-goer, we’ve got something special for everyone in the coming weeks and months. This year’s performances are all about celebrating the new while honoring the old. Within the span of just a couple weeks you can enjoy the hilariously unique “Potted Potter” before experiencing the classic beauty of Prokofiev and Dvorák. Plus, the stunning voices of BYU’s Men’s and Women’s Choruses will be joining us, bridging the gap between traditional and modern sounds. But that’s just the start of 2024. February 8 we’ll present Casablanca in Concert with the Utah Symphony performing the score alongside the classic film. Later in the month, International Guitar Night returns for a second consecutive year and promises to be an unforgettable evening. We’re also pleased to be hosting Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Sing & Swing on February 17, where some of today’s greatest talents will breathe life into the Great American Songbook. I want to give a massive thank you to our donors and sponsors. In 2023, you brought over 20,000 people to 35 performances and engaged thousands of students and adults in enriching arts experiences outside the traditional concert setting. Your generosity is the cornerstone of our success and the reason we can continue to bring such diverse and high-quality performances, keeping Ogden vibrant and culturally rich. Thanks for joining us this evening for a celebration of innovation and tradition. We’re excited to share moments of music, laughter, and great performances with you in 2024 and beyond.

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 By Jeff Counts
Macbeth, op. 23 Duration: 18 minutes. THE COMPOSER – RICHARD STRAUSS (1864–1949) – Most men turn from their fathers at some point. The pull to embrace new thought and define oneself, not necessarily in opposition to dear old dad, but as a logical next step from him, is too powerful to ignore. That fact that this impulse is so often embodied by surrogate patriarchs deserves some unpacking, but not here. For now, it must suffice to identify that person in the life of Richard Strauss. Alexander Ritter was husband to Wagner’s daughter Franziska and a musical revolutionary who worshipped not only the god of Bayreuth but also Franz Liszt, two composers Strauss had been taught by his father to doubt. Ritter took Strauss under his wing in the 1880s and the young conductor’s eyes could not be closed so easily after that. THE HISTORY – According to Strauss, Ritter convinced him that the “path onwards from Beethoven …led via Liszt who, like Wagner, had rightly recognized that sonata form had been extended to its utmost limits with Beethoven. New ideas must seek out new forms for themselves”. Macbeth, written during 1887 and 1888 proved to be a difficult test of the balance Strauss had to maintain between his “two fathers”. While Ritter surely encouraged what Strauss identified in letters as his “completely new path” with Macbeth, his actual dad, Franz, implored him to trim its “instrumental fat” and reminded his son that “the greatest music can be written without experimentation”. Strauss, clearly conflicted but also not entirely happy with
the density of his original orchestration, revised the score off and on for a couple of years. The delay caused Macbeth, the first of what Strauss considered his tone poems, to be performed third after Don Juan and Tod und Verklärung. Regardless of its unfair position in the shadow of Don Juan, Strauss considered Macbeth the original manifesto of his intentions as a composer. In a letter to Hans von Bülow, he spoke of the “ever increasing contradiction between the musical-poetic content I want to convey and the ternary sonata form that has come down to us from the classical composers.” Macbeth was Strauss’ first real attempt to reconcile, and ultimately nullify, this dilemma. The character of Macbeth, one of Shakespeare’s most iconic tyrants, is brought thrillingly to life in Strauss’ music. Since there was no way to condense the entirety of the play into a concert piece, Strauss chose to introduce the main actors—Macbeth and Lady Macbeth—before exploring cardinal points in the tale. We hear Lady Macbeth’s persuasive efforts, the murder of King Duncan, the subsequent crowning of Macbeth, the mounting madness of both betrayers and, finally, Macduff’s fateful approach. THE WORLD – Elsewhere in 1888, Wilhelm II was crowned German Emperor, the National Geographic Society was founded in America, Louisa May Alcott died of a stroke and Vincent Van Gogh famously removed a portion of his ear. THE CONNECTION – Macbeth is one of the least performed of Strauss’ tone poems. This is the first time that Utah Symphony has programmed it. 801-399-9214 / 17
HISTORY OF THE MUSIC Concerto No. 1 for Violin in D Major, op. 19 Duration: 22 minutes in three movements. THE COMPOSER – SERGE PROKOFIEV (1891–1953) – 1917, the year Prokofiev finally completed his 1st Violin Concerto, was among the most volatile in Russian history. Two anti-Czarist revolutions changed the face of the country forever— one in February and another in October. Prokofiev claimed to be in support of the upheavals but was away from Petrograd during the worst of it. “The disturbances,” he wrote in his diary that December, “have not reached our doors, the Caucasus in general seems immune from them.” Owing perhaps to this fortunate distance (“How prudent had been my idea of settling in Kislovodsk!”), Prokofiev managed to have one of his most productive years. THE HISTORY – Prokofiev was a busy composer back in 1915 as well, too busy in fact to lavish enough attention on his budding “concertino” for violin. His opera The Gambler was requiring his full concentration at that moment—a beneficial circumstance that allowed the modest violin piece of his earliest conception to incubate over a longer period. The extra time in the oven allowed the piece to grow into the fullfledged three movement concerto we know today. Sadly, however, more years of waiting would follow for this work as the revolution delayed the premiere until 1923 and necessitated a host city other than Moscow for the concert—Paris in this case. The French concert did not serve the concerto well. The social/professional ingredients were promising, with Koussevitzky on the podium and Picasso in the audience, but Prokofiev was not pleased with the chosen 18 / OnstageOgden.org
soloist. “At long last,” he provisionally rejoiced in his diary, happy that his concerto would finally be performed “seven years after it was composed, albeit with a poor violinist”. All due respect to Monsieur Marcel Darrieux, but Prokofiev’s rather lyrical score was doomed to be outshined that night by another, decidedly more Parisian premiere. Stravinsky’s new Octet for Wind Instruments, conducted by the composer on the very same concert, had just the sort of charming erudition and jazzy insouciance that French music aficionados admired and, though no one dismissed Prokofiev’s Concerto outright, one French composer did damn it with the faint praise of calling it “Mendelssohnian.” The term, a compliment in any other context, only tells two-thirds of the story. The outer movements certainly project an evolved Romantic-era sensibility (the first in particular – Prokofiev had likely heard and admired the long lines of Sibelius’ 1905 concerto), but the second movement is quite edgy and even a touch “modern.” When the 1st Concerto was performed to great success a few days later in Moscow (in a violin/piano version featuring none other than Milstein and Horowitz) and a year later by Joseph Szigeti in Prague, its star began to rise. THE WORLD – Elsewhere in 1917, Lions Clubs International was founded in Chicago, the Balfour Declaration was signed in the United Kingdom and sculptor Auguste Rodin passed away in France. THE CONNECTION – The most recent Masterworks performance of the 1st Violin Concerto was in September 2012. Thierry Fischer conducted and Alina Ibragimova was soloist.
HISTORY OF THE MUSIC In Nature’s Realm, op. 91 Duration: 14 minutes. THE COMPOSER – ANTONIN DVOŘÁK (1864–1949) – As the decade turned from 1889 to 1890, Dvořák was enjoying the international renown that resulted from works like Symphony No. 7, the Slavonic Dances and the F minor Piano Trio. Eager to capitalize on his successes, he accepted invitations from admirers beyond his borders, one from Tchaikovsky to conduct his works in Moscow and St. Petersburg in 1890 and another from England in 1891, where he received an honorary doctorate from Cambridge and conducted his Requiem in Birmingham. The famous American residency was still a year away, so Dvořák also allowed himself the local honor, not to mention the financial stability, of a teaching position at the Conservatory in Prague. THE HISTORY – Though he turned 50 in that very busy year of 1891, Dvořák was as productive as ever. In the spring he set about writing a trio of connected concert overtures that he intended to call Nature, Life and Love. Each of the three pieces was meant to depict a different aspect of nature, or Mother Nature to be more precise, and her power over all the generative and destructive aspects of earthly existence. In the end, Dvořák chose (under pressure from his publisher) to scrap the idea of a linked cycle in favor of three distinct pieces, known forever more as In Nature’s Realm, Carnival and Othello. Dvořák did not leave us an explicit roadmap for what wisdom he hoped each overture might impart but scholars at the
National Library of the Czech Republic think his sketchbooks and letters offer some sense of his intentions. Carnival was originally supposed to be called Life. No surprise there, but he also toyed with naming Othello the Tragic Overture and Eroica. In Nature’s Realm, for its part, was almost titled In a Secluded Place or Loneliness. It’s unclear what sustenance this offered the aforementioned academics, but for us this could indicate a desire to follow nature’s influence from the wild uninhabited fields (In Nature’s Realm) to the celebratory rituals of men (Carnival) and culminating in study of the jealous insecurities of a single man (Othello). In this way, the experiential aperture runs from wide to very narrow, and the darkness and light of both nature and humanity are thoroughly explored. There is a unifying musical theme presented early in In Nature’s Realm, the “nature” theme, that shows itself in each of the subsequent overtures. The work then follows a loose arch form and ends much like it begins, elementally, like the “awakening” section of Beethoven 6. Dvořák dedicated the piece to Cambridge University as thanks for the honorary degree they awarded him in 1891. THE WORLD – Elsewhere in 1891, Hawaii’s King Kalakua and was succeeded by his sister Queen Lili’uokalani as the islands’ last monarch, construction on the TransSiberian Railway began and the first Java Man fossils were uncovered. THE CONNECTION – A rarity for any American orchestra, Utah Symphony has not programmed In Nature’s Realm since December 1998. Joseph Silverstein was on the podium.

HISTORY OF THE MUSIC Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks, op. 28 Duration: 15 minutes. THE COMPOSER – RICHARD STRAUSS (1864–1949) – Strauss was in rehearsals for his first opera Guntram when he got official word of his appointment as Kappellmeister in Munich, a city to which he was happy to return. This was 1894 and though Guntram would not be a success, Strauss’ conducting star was rising steadily with productions of Tristan, Meistersinger, Rienzi, Tännhauser, Zauberflöte and other important works to his credit within a year of his arrival at the Bavarian State Opera. Somehow, even with that staggering list of musical responsibilities, Strauss was also beginning to make a name for himself as an orchestral composer. This was thanks especially to his tone poems which, after a few early efforts in the 1880s, began to display even more sophistication and instrumental color. THE HISTORY – 1894 included another, even more important event for Strauss. He married Pauline de Ahna that September and their fascinating bond would last until his death nearly forty-five years later. The first professional proof of Strauss’ marital bliss was Till Eulenspeigels lustige Streiche. He originally considered the tale of the mediaeval troublemaker Till Eulenspiegel to be worthy of full operatic treatment. But whether he was still smarting over the failure of Guntram or just simply thought better of it, he eventually struck just the right balance in 1895 with the concentrated energy and concision of the tone poem form. Strauss’ moment in the operatic sun would come soon

enough (Salome, 1905), but the last half of the 1890s was devoted to the possibilities of orchestral color and narrative potency. Speaking of colorful stories, the character of Till dates back (at least) to the 15th century in tales of roguish misadventure and trickery. His legend plays largely upon the common man’s belief that avarice can be found behind every pillar in the halls of the entitled and that it is the gift of the good-hearted, witty fool to expose them. The Strauss version of Till’s exploits opens expectantly, like the first page of a child’s board book. Once the stage is properly set and the hero is identified, the listener follows Till’s path of social destruction as he frustrates workmen, pastors and intellectuals alike. His efforts earn him an appearance before the town’s judges and they, upon reviewing his life’s work to date, find him worthy of nothing less than death. Till, perfectly in character to the very end, gets off one last mocking phrase before the execution cuts him dramatically short. With this nasty bit of business done, Strauss uses the last page of the story book to recall the first while also assuring any remaining doubters that Till, regardless of what we have just witnessed, lives on. THE WORLD – Elsewhere in 1895, Cuba began an attempt to throw off Spanish rule, the First Sino-Japanese War ended, H.G. Wells published The Time Machine and Oscar Wilde staged The Importance of Being Earnest. THE CONNECTION – Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks is one of the most popular of Strauss’ tone poems for the Utah Symphony. It was last performed in September 2017 with Thierry Fischer conducting.
