MEET OUR MUSICIANS

ME E T OUR MUS IC IA N S ANN RICHARDS ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL FLUTE Hometown: Nashville, Tennessee | Member of the Nashville Symphony since 1975 What inspired you to become a musician?

My father was encouraged to come from Iowa to Nashville as a musician in 1940, playing clarinet, sax, and violin — mostly big band style, but also jazz standards. He met my mother, who played piano and loved orchestral music. My brother loved pipe organs, Bach, and original rock ’n’ roll, so I had a nice potpourri of music at home. It was just natural that I would also play music. I attended orchestra concerts and played in the Nashville Youth Orchestra.

You’re retiring at the end of this concert season.

What have been the highlights of your 40 years in the orchestra?

So many cool things: playing flute solos on two of our GRAMMY®-winning recordings; playing Jeff Tyzik’s Tin Whistle Suite for Whistle and Orchestra and the whistle solos in The Lord of the Rings; two trips to Carnegie Hall; being selected to spend a week in Argentina on an orchestra exchange program; and having opera star Luciano Pavarotti blow me a kiss in a rehearsal after we played a flute/voice duet in one of his songs.

How has the orchestra changed while you’ve been a member?

I auditioned for the Nashville Symphony right out of grad school at Northwestern, and this was the only opening in the whole country. It was only a part-time orchestra, so musicians usually had to freelance, teach, or find additional work. Then came the growing pains of becoming a full-time orchestra, financial issues and insecurities relating to the economy fluctuations, the building of a beautiful new hall envisioned by music director Kenneth Schermerhorn, and of course the flood in 2010!

Read more interviews at NashvilleSymphony.org/meet-our-musicians

What have been some of your favorite pieces to play?

I love the large Germanic, Russian, and Scandinavian Romantic period and early 20th century symphonies, ballets, and tone poems.

What is it like to play in the orchestra with your husband, assistant principal bassist Glen Wanner?

It is really a pleasure, because it gives us lots to talk about! We listen to the repertory or practice our parts together, and oftentimes can commute to concerts and rehearsals together.

You and Glen have also collaborated outside of the Nashville Symphony.

We love outdoor activities and saw the need for area cycling guidebooks. After much research and many miles of cycling, we self-published Bicycling Middle Tennessee and Bicycling the Natchez Trace. We’ve had a lot of fun with these.

You have another interesting family connection with the Nashville Symphony.

In the Schermerhorn’s Curb Family Music Education Hall, there is a framed 1956 photograph of my brother John Richards, age 12, at the piano with symphony music director Guy Taylor and singer Eddy Arnold.

A seventh-grader at Isaac Litton Jr. High School, he won the Orchestra Composition Contest and had his composition Waltz played by the Symphony.

John has always loved pipe organs and has another cool connection with the Symphony: Some of the pipes in his home organ in New Hampshire belonged to Arthur Henkel, the very first Nashville Symphony conductor, who led an early version of the orchestra from 1920-31. Henkel was also an organist and actually broadcast Sunday-afternoon radio shows on WSM650 AM from his home.

chronicles the remarkable life journey of Dr. Ming Wang, a world-renowned laser eye surgeon, philanthropist and Kiwanis Nashvillian of the Year.

As a teenager, Ming fought valiantly to escape one of history’s darkest eras – China’s Cultural Revolution – during which millions of innocent youth were deported to remote areas to face a life sentence of poverty and hard labor. Through his own tenacity and his parents’ tireless efforts to provide a chance of freedom for their son, Ming eventually made his way to America with $50 in his pocket and an American dream in his heart, where against all odds he would earn a PhD in laser physics and graduate magna cum laude with the highest honors from Harvard Medical School and MIT. He embraced the Christian faith and tackled one of the most important questions of our time – Are faith All proceeds and science friends or foes? – which led to his invention donated to the Wang of a breakthrough biotechnology to restore sight.

Foundation, a 501c(3) non-profit charity To date, Dr. Wang has performed over 55,000 eye FromDarknessToSight.com procedures and has treated patients from nearly every state in the U.S. and from over 55 countries worldwide.

He is considered the “doctor’s doctor,” as he has operated on over 4,000 physicians. Dr. Wang has published 8 textbooks, holds several U.S. patents and performed the world’s first laser artificial cornea implantation. He is currently the only surgeon in the state who performs 3D LASIK (age 18+), 3D Laser Kamra (age 45+), 3D Forever Young Lens Surgery (age 50+), and 3D Laser Cataract Surgery (age 60+). He established a non-profit foundation which provides sight restoration surgeries for indigent patients who otherwise would never have the opportunity to receive them free-of-charge.

TONIGHT’S CONCERT AT A GLANCE ANTONÍN DVORÁK Cello Concerto in B minor • When Dvorák wrote his Cello Concerto in the 1890s, orchestral works featuring solo cello weren’t common. The composer himself had his doubts, telling one of his students that the instrument wasn’t well-suited to solo performance.

• Dvorák’s attitude changed after hearing fellow composer Victor Herbert — best known today for Babes in Toyland — perform his own Cello Concerto No. 2 with the New York Philharmonic in 1894. The two men were colleagues at the National Conservatory of Music of America, where Dvorák served as director from 1892-95.

• The Cello Concerto was one of several works that he wrote during his stay in America. Another was his celebrated Symphony No. 9 “From the New World.”

Unlike that work, however, the concerto does not betray the influence of the composer’s American experience, instead tapping into the Romantic tradition with music of great lyricism and emotion.

• While working on the piece, Dvorák received the news that his sister-in-law Josefina was seriously ill. The Cello Concerto thus became an outlet for the composer to express his profound sadness, and in the years since many historians have speculated on the nature of his relationship with Josefina. In the Adagio movement, the composer quotes the melody from his song “Let Me Be Alone,” which was one of her favorites.

• The soloist for these performances is Zuill Bailey, who earned a 2017 GRAMMY® Award for Best Classical Instrumental Solo, presented for his performance on the Nashville Symphony’s recording of Michael Daugherty’s Tales of Hemingway.

AARON COPLAND Symphony No. 3 • Serge Koussevitsky, the legendary music director of the Boston Symphony, commissioned Aaron Copland’s Third Symphony in the summer of 1944, at the height of World War II. “I knew exactly the kind of music he enjoyed conducting…,” the composer later wrote, “and I knew the sound of his orchestra, so I had every reason to write a symphony in the grand manner.”

• By this point in his career, Copland had written many of the great narrative-driven works that have come to define his style, including Rodeo, Billy the Kid, and Appalachian Spring. His Third Symphony posed a challenge because he didn’t have a narrative thread to draw on, yet he had to capture a distinctly American spirit.

• Copland shaped the piece in part by incorporating music from his Fanfare for the Common Man, his rousing piece commissioned in 1942 to help boost American morale.

• In his own notes for the piece, he explained, “It contains no folk or popular material. During the late twenties, it was customary to pigeonhole me as a composer of symphonic jazz, with emphasis on the jazz. I have also been catalogued as a folklorist and purveyor of Americana. Any reference to jazz or folk material in this work was purely unconscious.”

• This performance of Copland’s Symphony No. 3 is unique in that it includes the composer’s original ending for the piece, which had been cut down at the insistence of Leonard Bernstein, who conducted the work’s European premiere.

For years, orchestras performed the edited version, but two years ago, publisher Boosey & Hawkes reissued a new version of the score restoring the edited material.

JUNE/JULY 2017

Born on September 8, 1841, in the Bohemian village of Nelahozeves; died on May 1, 1904, in Prague Concerto for Cello in B minor, Op. 104 Composed: 1894-95 First performance: March 19, 1896, in London, with the composer conducting cellist Leo Stern and the London Philharmonic First Nashville Symphony performance: February 21, 1956, with soloist Gregor Piatigorsky and music director Guy Taylor Estimated length: 40 minutes

W

ith his Cello Concerto, Antonín Dvořák went far in mapping out an identity for the modern cello virtuoso. While violinists and pianists had long enjoyed star status as soloists, the cello was still considered less effective as a platform for a solo career. That attitude was shared

by Dvořák himself, who had practical experience as a string player from his early years playing viola in Prague’s opera orchestra. He had even attempted writing a cello concerto as early as 1865 but never bothered to orchestrate it, perhaps assuming there would be scant interest in a genre that still lacked familiar repertory models.

Given the status his mature Cello Concerto would acquire, it’s astounding to learn that Dvořák believed “as a solo instrument [the cello] isn’t much good…the upper voice squeaks and the lower growls” — as one of his pupils later recalled him saying. Whatever doubts he harbored about the cello’s soloistic possibilities, he had the prodding of his cellist friend Hanuš Wihan, who repeatedly begged for a concerto. But the real epiphany came when composer, conductor, and cellist Victor Herbert introduced his own Cello Concerto No. 2 in March 1894.

Herbert was a colleague of Dvořák’s at the National Conservatory in New York, which the Czech composer had been invited to helm in

1892. Dvořák became excited by the possibilities Herbert’s piece revealed for using the solo cello expressively and without compromise, even when arrayed against a full orchestra. But it fell to Dvořák to stake out a place for the instrument within the grand Romantic concerto tradition, which he achieved by crafting a score that is epic in scope and emotionally persuasive on every level.

The challenges for the soloist are certainly virtuosic, but Dvořák tellingly rejected Wihan’s suggestion of interpolating additional cadenzas.

As it is, the score allots the soloist a Shakespearesized role — not in competition with the orchestra (which would be acoustically self-defeating), but instead resounding with empathy.

The overall structure adheres to the conventional three-movement concerto format, but Dvořák also introduces several innovations that conceal programmatic elements of a personal nature. It has long been recognized that Dvořák’s powerful feelings for his sister-in-law Josefina play a central role in the Cello Concerto, likely triggered by the news the composer received of her illness while working on the piece. She died in May 1895, soon after he had returned to Europe; Dvořák subsequently made a significant revision to the finale.

The Josefina question has led to much sentimental fantasizing about Dvořák holding a lifelong torch, with parallels drawn between him and Mozart (who married the sister of the woman who rejected him), though the exact nature of their relationship remains a matter of speculation.

Dvořák authority Michael Beckman argues that the Cello Concerto as a whole represents a Requiem, which allowed the composer a vehicle for “meditation on the themes of life, love, and death,” with Dvořák himself “as the narrator-cello hero.”

It fell to Dvorák to stake out a place for the cello in the grand Romantic concerto tradition, which he achieved by crafting an epic, emotionally persuasive score.

WH AT TO L IST EN F OR CLASSICAL

T

hough both the “New World” Symphony and the Cello Concerto were composed during Dvořák’s three-year stay in America, it is striking that instead of evoking a sense of American “optimism,” these works are suffused with a deeply tragic pathos. Dvořák’s opening movement shows him working on a large, symphonic scale, but one that can accommodate his signature lyricism. As in the “New World,” he develops his ideas with remarkable economy.

The entire first movement evolves from the two main themes in the orchestral exposition. The first sets the fundamentally elegiac tone of the Concerto but proves to be ingeniously amenable to development. The second theme, introduced in a much-loved passage for solo horn, echoes the spontaneity and naturalness of Dvořák’s “American” manner — together, both themes almost suggest a microcosm of the Old and New Worlds. An interesting structural feature is that Dvořák uses the horn melody (given by full orchestra, and decked out with fanfares) instead of the first theme to lead off the recapitulation.

The serene opening section of the Adagio initially conveys a pastoral mood, magically scored for woodwinds, into which the cello

A A RO N CO PL A N D Born on November 14, 1900, in Brooklyn, New York; died on December 2, 1990, in North Tarrytown, New York

threads its eloquent voice. An impassioned interruption casts a sudden pall, setting the music on a new track. In a deeply moving turn, Dvořák introduces a haunting melodic fragment from one of his songs that Josefina declared to be her favorite. The elegiac return of the opening theme is overshadowed by a sense of fragility.

Animated and dance-like, the theme of the rondo finale seems destined to lead, after its various contrasting episodes, to a predictably applause-begging cadenza. Instead, in one of the most poetic passages of any concerto, Dvořák slows down to reintroduce the elegiac glow of the Adagio, now “completing” the quotation of Josefina’s song and fusing it with the tragic theme from the opening movement. The music gradually diminishes, as the composer wrote, “like a sigh, with reminiscences of the first and second movements.” But in the final bars, the orchestra swells with almost frighteningly intense jubilation to end this reverie.

In addition to solo cello, the Cello Concerto calls for 2 flutes (2nd doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 3 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, triangle, and strings.

Symphony No. 3

H

e is decidedly an icon of American music, yet a closer look at Aaron Copland suggests a tension between being an “accessible” composer and a “serious” one. In his authoritative biography, Howard Pollack recounts an anecdote the composer enjoyed retelling from the years just after he’d begun composing Hollywood film scores (when he was working on his music for The 20

JUNE/JULY 2017

North Star, in 1943). Groucho Marx had shown up to listen to a program that included one of his more challengingly Modernist works. When the comedian mentioned he wasn’t familiar with this side of his music, Copland explained, “Well, I have a split personality.” Groucho in turn quipped, “It’s OK, as long as you split it with Sam Goldwyn.”

The Third Symphony, which Copland wrote

at the apex of his “populist” style, represents his attempt to synthesize these divergent aspects of his art. The symphonic genre tends to be associated with large public statements — like a grand mural in sound, or a major architectural landmark. Although the first two works Copland labeled symphonies were notably unconventional, he clearly set out to emulate this grand, monumental aspect when he undertook his Third Symphony in the summer of 1944, on a commission from the foundation set up by his fervent champion Serge Koussevitsky. “I knew exactly the kind of music he [Koussevitzsky] enjoyed conducting,” Copland later recalled, “and the sentiments he brought to it, and I knew the sound of his orchestra [the Boston Symphony], so I had every reason to do my darndest to write a symphony in the grand manner.”

But the larger historical context also played into how Copland conceived this “grand manner” for the new work. He had begun to develop his

quintessentially American sound because of an urgent need to communicate with a broader audience — a need that became all the more intensified as the Great Depression lingered.

Copland initially cultivated his populist style in connection with particular narratives that were connected to ballet, theater, and film: Rodeo, Billy the Kid, Appalachian Spring, The City, Of Mice and Men, and so on.

Composing a symphony in the New Deal era had become akin to writing the Great American Novel. Thus the prospect of writing a large-scale work of abstract music that could speak with similar immediacy presented a different challenge for Copland. An earlier project helped to provide the needed sense of drama. By embedding into the finale the music from his Fanfare for the Common Man — commissioned in 1942 as a morale booster after the U.S. entry into World War II — he found a thrilling solution.

W H AT TO L IST EN F OR

E

ach of the four movements reflects an archlike structure (ABA). The wide, open intervals that are a thumbprint of Copland’s populist style are heard at the opening, while the lengthy first theme conveys a hymn-like sense of assurance.

A second theme expands the epic breadth of Copland’s orchestral canvas before the trombones introduce a new theme in the contrasting middle section, which arrives with heightened urgency and an acceleration of tempo. The movement concludes with a restatement of the opening section, now magnificently reimagined and informed by what occurred in the contrasting section, before gradually diminishing to the calm poise of the beginning.

Next comes a vigorous movement launched with a scale-based fanfare theme (taken from one of Copland’s original sketches for the fanfare project). Where many Old World composers

revert to “folk-like” music for the contrasting middle trio section of a Scherzo, Copland supplies a counterpart of Americana in the vein of Rodeo and the like. The following slow movement, like the first, eventually accelerates to a faster-paced central passage and then recedes again back to the opening material. Its haunting main section gives a moving instance of Copland’s unique sense of spare yet lyrical open space, while touches of the jauntier moments from Appalachian Spring animate the middle section.

The finale follows without pause and is the longest of the four movements. It opens with a surprisingly gentle scoring of the famous fanfare, spotlighting the flutes, before the brass blaze forth in full glory. This curious mixture of the tender and the muscular is characteristic of the Third Symphony as a whole. A lively counter-theme is spelled out, while another theme reminds us INCONCERT

CLASSICAL

of the composer’s Latin-influenced music. The tremendous excitement Copland establishes comes to a sudden halt with a shocking chord, but courage is regained as he gathers the previously heard material in preparation for a powerhouse coda.

The actual ending became a sore point for the composer. Leonard Bernstein, a close friend and eventually Copland’s most famous advocate at the podium, led the European premiere in Prague in 1947. “Sweetie, the end is a sin. You’ve got to change,” wrote Bernstein, who proceeded to cut 10 of the final 19 measures without the composer’s consent. Eventually, Copland agreed to authorize the cut (just why is still debated), and it was incorporated into the 1966 edition. But in June 2015 the publisher, Boosey & Hawkes, reissued a new engraving of this quintessentially American symphony with numerous corrections, including a

restoration of the 10-measure cut.

For these performances, Maestro Giancarlo Guerrero has opted to follow that restoration and include the measures that Bernstein had deleted, which recapitulate ideas from the first and final movements. This conclusion seals the Third as Copland’s heroic symphony.

The Symphony No. 3 is scored for piccolo, 3 flutes, 3 oboes (3rd doubling English horn), 2 clarinets, E-flat clarinet, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 4 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, 2 harps, celesta, piano, and strings — Thomas May, the Nashville Symphony’s program annotator, is a writer and translator who covers classical and contemporary music.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

B

orn in Lowell, Mass., and raised in New Rochelle, N.Y., Boney James became seriously interested in music in the mid-1970s, a vibrant and freewheeling period for popular music. “You could hear different genres all over the radio,” says the saxophonist. “Contemporary jazz was everywhere — people like Grover Washington Jr., Herbie Hancock, and George Benson were stars. Artists like Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind & Fire were incorporating jazz into what they were doing, and the jazz guys were mixing R&B into their sound. It was a great time to be a young musician.”

By 13, he was jamming in basements and garages.

Born James Oppenheim, he was later nicknamed “Boney” in his mid-20s, when a meager touring per diem saw him growing thinner. Following early pro gigs, including sideman stints with Morris Day, the Isley Brothers, Randy Crawford, and Teena Marie, he released his debut album as a leader, Trust, in 1992.

Since that debut, James has racked up sales of more than 3 million records, four RIAA gold albums, four GRAMMY® nominations, a Soul Train Award, nominations for two NAACP Image Awards, and 10 albums atop Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz Albums chart. In 2009, Billboard magazine named him the No. 3 Contemporary Jazz Artist of the Decade, trailing just behind Kenny G and Norah Jones.

James’ 15th and latest studio release, futuresoul, spent 11 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Chart and became the bestselling contemporary jazz record of 2015. Fusing his love for vintage soul music with his mastery for modern production, the album showcases James’ unique ability to blur the line between musical genres and eras across 10 tracks, all produced and written or co-written by James himself. The album also features collaborations with vocalist and Mint Condition frontman Stokley Williams and rising-star trumpeter Marquis Hill.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

“W

hat I love most about animation is, it’s a team sport, and everything we do is about pure imagination.”

This statement from Jeffrey Katzenberg, one of the founders of DreamWorks Animation, rings especially true in the creation of musical scores to accompany the beautiful images and stories of their feature films.

A DreamWorks Animation film is the result of an incredible collaboration that brings together unbelievably talented artists and storytellers as they transport audiences to new worlds. Filmmakers begin working with world-class composers early in the animation process, creating scores that set the tone of the films, fueling the story set in motion by the animators.

Transporting viewers of all ages to a world of Kung Fu masters, fairytale creatures with attitudes, young Vikings finding a way to fly, and animals exploring the “wild” happens as the team combines beautiful environments, characters, story, and music. The scores amplify the emotional connection between the audience and the action on the screen.

From the swell of the opening overture to the final crash of cymbals, a film score accompanies the journey, highlights the emotion, and can even bring audiences to their feet, cheering on the beloved DreamWorks Animation characters that have helped define the entertainment landscape for more than 20 years.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS JOHNNY MAT HIS

“T

here are a number of good singers, a smaller handful of truly great singers, and then there’s Johnny Mathis.” — Barbra Streisand The fourth of seven children, John Royce Mathis was born on September 30, 1935, in Gilmer, Texas, to Clem and Mildred Mathis. As a small boy, the family

moved to Post Street in San Francisco. It was there that he learned an appreciation of music from his father Clem, who taught him his first song, “My Blue Heaven.” When Johnny was 8, his father purchased an old upright piano for $25, which wouldn’t fit through the front door. So that evening, he stayed up all night to watch his father dismantle the piano, move the pieces into the small living room of their basement apartment, and then reassemble it.

Clem, who worked briefly as a musician in Texas playing the piano and singing onstage, would INCONCERT

continue to teach his son many songs and routines.

Johnny had proven to be the most eager of the children to learn all about music. He sang in the church choir, school functions, community events, for visitors in their home, and at amateur shows in the San Francisco area. He was also a successful track and field athlete and was offered a chance to compete in the U.S. Olympic Trials. In the same week, Columbia Records called, so he chose to go to New York to record his first album, which was released in 1956.

Best known for supremely popular hits like “Chances Are,” “It’s Not for Me to Say,” and “Misty,” Johnny has recorded close to 80 albums and has sold millions of records worldwide.

teven Spielberg’s film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial has always held a special place in my heart, and I personally think it’s his masterpiece. In looking at it today, it’s as fresh and new as when it was made in 1982. Cars may change, along with hairstyles and clothes…but the performances, particularly by the children and by E.T. himself, are so honest, timeless, and true that the film absolutely qualifies to be ranked as a classic.

What’s particularly special about tonight’s concert is that we’ll hear the Nashville Symphony performing the entire score live, along with the complete picture, sound effects, and dialogue.

I know I speak for everyone connected with the making of E.T. in saying that we’re greatly honored by this event…and I hope that tonight’s audience will find great joy in experiencing this magical film.

— John Williams

onstantine Kitsopoulos has made a name for himself as a conductor whose musical experiences comfortably span the worlds of opera and symphony, where he conducts in such venues as Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, and Royal Albert Hall, and musical theater, where he can be found leading orchestras on Broadway. The 2016/17 season marks his seventh as music director of the Festival of the Arts BOCA, an multi-day cultural arts event for South Florida.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS T HE O’CONNOR BAND

T

he O’Connor Band’s very first performance took place at the legendary Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas, in 2015. Less than a year-anda-half later, they took home the 2017 GRAMMY® Award for Best Bluegrass Album for their debut recording, Coming Home.

In a whirlwind 18 months, the band has performed at the GRAMMY® Awards Premiere Ceremony, received standing ovations at the Grand Ole Opry, and reached the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Top Bluegrass Albums chart. They have put together a show unlike any other, one that blends country and pop sensibilities with Americana rawness, bluegrass

drive, and chamber music sophistication, one that has begun winning over audiences at festivals, clubs, and the world’s premier theaters, including Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, and Schermerhorn Symphony Center.

The O’Connor Band is the product of Mark O’Connor’s imagination. A former child prodigy and national champion on the fiddle, guitar, and mandolin, he has won numerous GRAMMY® and CMA Awards; appeared on hundreds of commercial country albums; collaborated with the likes of Johnny Cash, Wynton Marsalis, Dolly Parton, and Yo-Yo Ma; and performed everything from original violin concertos to swing and jazz.

But until recently, he had not worked on a project quite like this. In addition to Mark, the band features his son Forrest (Harvard graduate and former Tennessee state mandolin champion), daughter-in-

by Joe Smart (national flatpick champion on guitar) and Geoff Saunders (bassist/banjoist extraordinaire and recent graduate of the University of Miami’s DMA program).

All six are masters of their instruments, all improvise as readily as they play parts in counterpoint, all can sing, and all move about the stage in a free but gripping choreography. Kate’s beautiful and powerful voice belies her age. Forrest’s songwriting is at once poetic and accessible. Maggie’s

After exploring their bluegrass roots, the band is spending much of 2017 honing a sound that coheres even more than before, one that leverages the band’s songwriting talent and background in acoustic, country, jazz, and classical music in a way that is geared toward wider audiences yet still true to themselves and their roots.

innish-American conductor Erik Ochsner’s versatility stretches across a broad range of repertoire, from conducting as few as five performers in contemporary and modern works, to leading 300 performers in “live to projection” film concerts of Back to the Future, Bugs Bunny at the Symphony, E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, Frozen, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, Pixar in Concert, Star Trek, and Star Trek Into Darkness.

As principal touring conductor for La La Land, he is leading orchestras in Dallas, Seattle, Atlanta, Montreal, and Nashville; across Japan, Korea and Russia; and at the Sydney Opera House.

Equally comfortable on the concert stage or leading opera, oratorio, and multi-media performances, he has appeared with orchestras and ensembles in Adelaide, Beijing, Detroit, Indianapolis, Kaohsiung, Krakow, Leipzig, Melbourne, New York, México City, Ottawa,

Reykjavik, St. Louis, Shanghai, Stockholm, Wellington, and Wolf Trap, Virginia.

Ochsner is music director of New York’s SONOS Chamber Orchestra, principal guest conductor of Bugs Bunny at the Symphony, and former artistic director of the Dranoff International 2 Piano Foundation. Recent performances include a return engagement with the National Arts Centre Orchestra in Ottawa to conduct a new bilingual narrated show called The Music of Star Wars. He was invited to lead his SONOS Chamber Orchestra for the 2017 Opera America New Works Showcase, which featured selections from five new operas by Michelle DiBucci, Randall Eng, Julian Grant, Wang Jie, and Rene Orth.

During an eight-year collaboration, Ochsner served as rehearsal conductor for Academy Awardwinning Chinese composer Tan Dun (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon). A highlight was serving as assistant conductor and chorus master for the Shanghai workshop of The First Emperor, a Metropolitan Opera commission.

Big things happen when we use our imagination.
