George Frideric Handel Born 1685, Halle, Germany Died 1759, London, England

Selections from the “Chandos” Anthems (1717–1718) From 1717 to 1719, Handel served as the house composer at Cannons, the mansion estate of his employer, James Brydges, the Earl of Carnarvon, who would later become the first Duke of Chandos. The Earl was exceedingly wealthy and a music lover to boot; he employed several house composers in addition to Handel and maintained a chamber orchestra and singing ensemble at Cannons. One of Handel’s main duties as house composer at Cannons was to compose and arrange music for its church services. It is believed that all of the “Chandos” Anthems had their first performance at the Church of St. Lawrence located in Whitchurch. This space served as the Earl’s private chapel while the house of worship at Cannons was being erected. Handel wrote eleven of the “Chandos” Anthems between 1717 and 1718. These

Brahms cast a pall upon the work and described it as “weak,” a description which has unfairly followed the Requiem ever since. works are not what we now typically think of as an anthem; they are, instead, multimovement sacred works which are written in a format similar to the cantata. Handel incorporates movements for orchestra, chorus, soloists (in singles or multiples), and chorus and soloists, with the orchestral accompaniment consisting of oboes and violins, with a basso continuo complement of cellos, basses, and sometimes bassoon and/ or organ. In the early anthems, Handel omits the inner voices of the violas in the orchestra and the altos in the choir. This gives the anthems an ethereal quality that resembles chamber music style accompaniment more than symphonic accompaniment. ●

“… in our youth, we are all still so firmly rooted in the earth with its joys and sorrows; as we age, the branches seem to aim higher as well.” —Robert Schumann

Robert Schumann

Born 1810, Zwickau/Saxony, Germany Died 1856, Endenich (near Bonn), Germany

Requiem in D-flat Major, Op. 148 (1852) Schumann’s Requiem Mass was written while he was the director at Düsseldorf, a post he held with varying degrees of success from 1850–1854. He composed the Requiem between April and May of 1852. This was a difficult time for Schumann; it is believed his health and mental health issues began close to this time. Less than two years from the writing of the Requiem, he would attempt suicide and eventually be institutionalized until his death in 1856. Schumann’s Requiem is not performed very often, nor was it when it was originally written. Johannes Brahms cast a pall upon the work and described it as “weak,” a description which has unfairly followed the Requiem ever since. It lacks the vengeance associated with some Requiems and the sheer ethereal beauty of others, while the key choice of D-flat Major is a decidedly unlikely choice for a Requiem. Its mood seems to be conciliatory in nature, as if Schumann is already aware of his fate. The work was neither published nor performed in Schumann’s lifetime, and the premiere was a lackluster affair at a private residence in Leipzig in 1864. A few months before beginning work on the Requiem, Schumann wrote: “Turning his energy to sacred music remains probably the highest aim of an artist. But in our youth, we are all still so firmly rooted in the earth with its joys and sorrows; as we age, the branches seem to aim higher as well.” ● Program Notes ® Lori Newman

The Tree Not the Pyramid

The title is taken from an essay by Adam Cornford, The Pyramid and the Tree. Both objects serve as metaphor for social organization. The pyramid is a rigid, topdown hierarchical structure where money dictates absolutely one’s place in the pyramid. It is juvenile and primitive. The tree, on the other hand, while having a main trunk, branches out constantly in varied, sometimes unexpected directions, branches constantly giving forth new branches developing as they need to. The leaves, fed by the tree and feeding it, are the hundreds of millions of individuals who, freed from the artificially construed struggle for survival imposed by engineered scarcity, can contribute their imaginative energies to the common life. ● —Daniel Steven Crafts

Maurice Duruflé

Born 1902, Louviers, France Died 1986, Paris, France

Requiem, Op. 9 (1947) The Requiem by Maurice Duruflé is the composer’s most famous and most performed work. Duruflé was a most selfcritical sort, constantly writing and rewriting his compositions, and never releasing them to the public until he was completely satisfied with them. This obviously stymied the composer’s compositional output, and his works’ catalog reveals a scant fourteen pieces to his credit. His career as an organist was much more prolific, serving as organist at Saint-Étienne-du-Mont in Paris and teaching at the Paris Conservatoire. He was known and revered for his prodigious improvisational skills on the organ. Duruflé began his musical studies at the cathedral in Rouen, France, as a chorister, where he studied piano and organ. The cathedral was steeped in the tradition and study of Gregorian chant, and this influence followed Duruflé and his compositions to the Paris Conservatoire in 1920, where he would study organ with Eugène Gigout and composition with Paul Dukas (of Sorcerer’s Apprentice fame). The New Mexico Philharmonic

“This Requiem is not an ethereal work which sings of detachment [ it is ] the agony of man faced with the mystery of his ultimate end.” —Maurice Duruflé

When Duruflé wrote his Requiem in 1947, he brought to it the influences of the Gregorian chant style he had experienced in Rouen decades earlier. He wrote that his goal was “to reconcile, as far as possible, Gregorian rhythm … with the exigencies of modern meter.” Duruflé combines Gregorian chant melodies with his take on chant meter and French impressionistic harmonies to create a work that pays homage to both past and present. His Requiem is a kinder, gentler version of the mass; it is much more in the vein of Fauré’s take on the genre, as opposed to Mozart or Verdi’s fiery renditions. Duruflé wrote of the Requiem in 1980: This Requiem is not an ethereal work which sings of detachment from earthly worries. It reflects, in the immutable form of the Christian prayer, the agony of man faced with the mystery of his ultimate end. It is often dramatic, or filled with resignation, or hope or terror, just as the words of the Scripture themselves which are used in the liturgy. It tends to translate human feelings before their terrifying, unexplainable or consoling destiny. [The work concludes with] the ultimate answer of Faith to all the questions, by the flight of the soul to paradise. ● Program Notes ® Lori Newman

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Born 1756, Salzburg, Austria Died 1791, Vienna, Austria

Overture to Don Giovanni (1787) Don Giovanni is the centermost opera in the Mozart/Da Ponte trilogy, nestled between The Marriage of Figaro (1786) and Così fan tutte (1790). While all three operas are entered into Mozart’s catalog as opera buffa, or comedic opera, Don Giovanni alone walks the tightrope between comedy and drama. It is purported that Mozart preferred to play up the serious tone of the centuries-old tale of the amoral and dastardly Don Giovanni, while Da Ponte preferred to highlight the comedic elements. They settled on a dramma giocoso, or humorous drama, to play out the story. The opera premiered in Prague on October 29, 1787, conducted by Mozart. It was an instant success in Prague (as was Figaro the previous year), and on May 7, 1788, the Vienna premiere took place with Mozart on the podium once again. It is believed that Mozart wrote the Overture to Don Giovanni the night before the premiere. While this seems inconceivable, it was fairly standard practice for an overture to be written after the rest of the details of the opera were firmly in place. Some, with a flair for the dramatic, claim that the Overture was written the day of the premiere, with the parts still wet when handed to the musicians, but this is unlikely as Mozart entered the work into his catalog on October 28, 1787, the day before the premiere. The plot revolves around the lecherous Don Giovanni (Don Juan), a brute by anyone’s standards, who seduces women for sport and brags incessantly about his

Mystery shrouded Paganini. His technical prowess was so beyond the realm of believability, that it was rumored he was in cahoots with the devil. conquests. He even makes his hapless servant, Leporello, keep an accurate log of all of his “acquisitions.” The opera opens in Seville, sometime in the 17th century. Don Giovanni is working on “seducing” (the polite way of saying “assaulting”) the Commendatore’s daughter, Donna Anna. She and Giovanni run into the courtyard, and at some point during the melee, she screams. Her father rushes to her aid, challenges Don Giovanni to a duel, and is swiftly killed by the lothario. Donna Anna swears revenge, an opera mainstay. The opera continues with other women with which Giovanni consorts and assaults. On the lam from a great number of people who want to see Don Giovanni suffer, he and Leporello find themselves in a cemetery. While they discuss their respective tales, a voice from behind them grimly proclaims that Don Giovanni’s laughter will end by morning. The pair turns to see that the voice is coming from the statue of the Commendatore that sits at his grave. Unfazed, Don Giovanni has Leporello invite the statue to dinner. The statue accepts, but again, Giovanni is not impressed. Returning to his castle, Don Giovanni prepares himself for a decadent meal with no thoughts wasted on his invited guest. No one is more surprised than our story’s libertine when the statue shows up for a nice meal and sucks him into hell in the process.

It is believed that Mozart wrote the Overture to Don Giovanni the night before the premiere … with the parts still wet when handed to the musicians. 12

2014/15 Season

While overtures written during this time period often have little to do with the opera they are introducing, Don Giovanni opens in dramatic fashion, using the same ominous d minor chords and other motifs that appear when Don Giovanni is about to meet his fate at the hands of the statue who came to dinner. After the gloomy introduction, the Overture continues in pure Mozart gaiety and exuberance. Thus, the Overture, in and of itself, encompasses the dramma giocoso that Mozart and Da Ponte achieve in the ensuing opera. The original Overture to Don Giovanni does not conclude, but rather goes directly into the Act I music for Leporello’s entrance. After Mozart’s death, the publisher Johann André added some closing bars so the Overture could be performed independently of the opera. ●

Niccolò Paganini Born 1782, Genoa, Italy Died 1840, Nice, France

Violin Concerto No. 2 in b minor, Op. 7 (1826) Niccolò Paganini was a celebrity in his day; if there had been paparazzi in the early nineteenth century, they would have assuredly followed Paganini’s every move. His virtuosity on the violin was unparalleled at the time, and Paganini was one of the greatest showmen in history. Mystery shrouded the virtuoso, and he did little to quell the rumors surrounding him. Among his many idiosyncrasies were: dressing completely in black and often incorporating capes into his wardrobe, extreme and unnatural movements during his performances, refusing to tune in front of anyone else, and occasionally playing concerts in the dark. His technical prowess was so beyond the realm of believability, that it was rumored he was in cahoots with the devil. Demonic pacts aside, we have Paganini

Program Notes . to thank for much of the modern violin technique that we currently use. Paganini wrote his Violin Concerto No. 2 while in Naples in 1827 and premiered it the following year. While there is plenty of virtuoso writing in the work, the second violin concerto is not considered nearly as virtuosic as Paganini’s first violin concerto. Instead, Paganini relies more on melodic writing and contour and thematic development and unity in his second concerto. The first movement opens with an Italianate-style introduction by the orchestra which gives way to the soloist’s lamenting theme. The movement is written in traditional sonata form with an extended cadenza. The second movement shows the composer’s love for Italian opera, with the solo violin performing a wordless aria. The most virtuosic movement of the concerto, the gypsy-inspired third movement, gets its subtitle “La Campanella” (“The Bell”) from Paganini’s use of a little bell each time the Rondo theme is heard. Paganini brilliantly incorporates imitations of the bell in both the orchestra and the solo part by way of the use of harmonics. ●

Gustav Mahler

Born 1860, Kalischt, Bohemia Died 1911, Vienna, Austria

Symphony No. 5 (1901–1902) “The Fifth is finished—I had to reorchestrate it almost completely. It is hard to believe … I could have written again like a beginner, as though I had completely forgotten the routine of the first four symphonies. A completely new style demanded a new technique.” Mahler’s Fifth Symphony is the first of his “middle” period of symphonies,

comprised of Symphonies 5–7. They mark an extreme departure from the style of the first four symphonies in several important ways: (1) they are purely symphonic and use no vocal forces or corresponding texts, (2) they are not based on any pre-existing material, (3) they do not contain a “program” or story to accompany the music, (4) they show an increase in the use of counterpoint, and (5) they introduce new levels of symphonic virtuosity and variations of orchestration. Mahler began his Fifth Symphony in the summer of 1901, while on break from his duties with the Vienna Court Opera. It was during the summers that Mahler did the majority of his composing. Accounts would lead us to believe that Mahler had composed most of the first and second movements of the Fifth during the summer of 1901, with the other three movements completed between the summer and fall of 1902. Between the two summers when Mahler wrote the Fifth, he met Alma Schindler. Schindler was a young socialite who had a keen interest in the arts and was an aspiring composer. It was November of 1901, and at Mahler and Schindler’s first meeting they feuded/flirted over a ballet by Alexander Zemlinsky, of whom Alma was a student. A whirlwind courtship followed, and they were married in March of 1902. Mahler expected Alma to funnel all of her energy into supporting his art, at the sake of her own. He urged her to give up composing and would not even let her play the piano while he was composing, even though he did so in a separated building from the main house. Alma acquiesced and gave up all notions of composing; she took care of the children and helped Mahler any way she could, often by acting as his copyist. This may leave some with the idea that their marriage was strained; it would seem quite the contrary, as their strong bond filled with love and

“Nobody understood it. I wish I could conduct the first performance fifty years after my death.” —Gustav Mahler

“The Scherzo is an accursed movement! It will have a long history of suffering! … conductors will take it too fast and make nonsense of it.” —Alma Mahler

devotion is clearly recorded in their letters and diaries. She was his biggest supporter and champion, and he simply adored her. Mahler’s Fifth Symphony premiered on October 18, 1904, in Cologne with Mahler conducting the Gürzenich Orchestra. The reaction was tepid. Mahler professed, “Nobody understood it. I wish I could conduct the first performance fifty years after my death.” The work is written in five movements, but it has a large-scale arc of three movements or sections: I—first and second movements, II—third movement, III—fourth and fifth movements. The key center of the symphony proves to be problematic: the work is often listed as Symphony No. 5 in c# minor or sometimes c# minor/D Major, but this is misleading. While the first movement is indeed in c# minor, the rest of the movements don’t really provide much help in the overall symphony’s key (the second in a minor, the third in D Major, the fourth in F Major, and the last in D Major). Mahler bristled at the use of a key and stated: “From the order of the movements (where the usual first movement now comes second) it is difficult to speak of a key for the ‘whole Symphony,’ and to avoid misunderstandings the key should best be omitted.” Mahler continued to make revisions on the Fifth for several years after its premiere, with the last coming possibly as late as 1909. continued on 14

Program Notes . continued from 13 The first movement is a funeral march which opens with a trumpet fanfare that is pervasive throughout the movement. The martial nature is evident even in the lyrical sections by way of the use of dotted rhythms, grace notes, accents, and militaristic accompanimental figures. While it appears that the same themes keep recurring, each one is slightly altered so that nothing is ever repeated verbatim. Brahms had the developing variation, in the Fifth, Mahler introduces the idea of constant variation. The second movement picks up on the intensity of the first movement and builds on it. There are undeniable links between the first two movements, a few literal statements, but mainly the movements share inextricable thematic and motivic elements. Considered one of Mahler’s most genius movements, the second is actually written in modified sonata form, but the twentieth-century version of modified sonata form. The third movement at the center of the Fifth is labeled as a scherzo, but it is not a scherzo in the truest sense. It is filled with dancelike and tuneful melodies, more along the lines of a symphonic minuet or waltz. Mahler shows off his new-found contrapuntal writing in this movement to great effect. Alma Mahler wrote of the scherzo: “The Scherzo is an accursed movement! It will have a long history of suffering! For fifty years conductors will take it too fast and make nonsense of it.” Written for strings and harp only, the Adagietto fourth movement is possibly Mahler’s most famous work. It is often

performed as a stand-alone piece, a rarity for movements from large-scale symphonic works. The practice is often attributed to Leonard Bernstein, who in 1968 used the Adagietto for the funeral of Robert Kennedy. Although reports vary, it is commonly believed that the Adagietto is a love song without words from Mahler to Alma. Mahler supporter and conductor Willem Mengelberg famously stated, “This Adagietto was Gustav Mahler’s declaration of love to Alma! Instead of a letter, he confided it in this manuscript without further explanation. She understood and wrote back that he should come!!! Both have told me this!” Mengelberg wrote in the margin of the score, “If music is a language, then this is proof. He tells her everything in tones and sounds, in music.” The RondoFinale is the complete antithesis of the first movement funeral march; joyous and ebullient (and in D Major), it delivers some of Mahler’s most well-written counterpoint. Mahler was well-versed in turning from dark to light in his symphonies, continuing the tradition of Beethoven before him. This transformation is used in many of Mahler’s symphonies that contain extramusical programs; however, the Fifth is a work of absolute music. It is possible in this case that the transformation reflects events in the composer’s life: the funereal and blustery first two movements were assuredly written the summer before he met Alma, while the painfully beautiful fourth and exuberant fifth movements were written after. The esteemed conductor Herbert von Karajan wrote of the Fifth:

“… you forget that time has passed. A great performance of the Fifth is a transforming experience. The fantastic finale almost forces you to hold your breath.” Program Notes ® Lori Newman

Ishan Loomba piano An Albuquerque resident, Ishan Loomba is in the 8th grade at Desert Willow Family School in Albuquerque. Now 13 years old, he discovered his love of music at a very young age, picking up familiar tunes at his toy piano and listening to everything from Celtic to Classical music. Ishan began piano lessons in 2007 and gave his debut solo piano recital in 2009, playing compositions by Bach, Chopin, and Haydn. In February 2013, he was guest soloist with the New Mexico Philharmonic, performing Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1 in C Major. Ishan won several prizes at competitions including first place in his age category at the 2014 Institute for Young Pianists at Southern Methodist University, first place in the 2009 New Mexico Hey Mozart! Composition Competition, and first place in the New Mexico Central District Honors Audition (2011 and 2012). Ishan is a student of Dr. Carol Leone at Southern Methodist University. He also studies music theory and composition with Dr. Jose Luis Hurtado at UNM. Ishan is particularly moved by the music of J.S. Bach, his favorite composer. The most significant artistic influence on his musical personality comes from performers he enjoys, especially Alicia da Larrocha and Evgeny Kissin. In addition to playing the piano and listening to music, he loves swimming, camping, rock climbing, and hiking. Ishan’s parents are Mousumi Roy and Dinesh Loomba. ●

Philip Mann conductor Hailed by the BBC as a “talent to watch out for, who conveys a mature command of his forces,” American conductor Philip Mann is quickly gaining a worldwide reputation as an “expressively graceful yet passionate” artist with a range spanning opera, symphonic repertoire, new music, and experimental collaborations. Now in his third season as Music Director of the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra, his first season shattered all previous attendance records as the orchestra reached new artistic heights. He previously held several posts in Europe and served as San Diego Symphony’s Associate Conductor, where he conducted hundreds of performances of Jacobs Subscription Masterworks, Symphony Exposed, family, young people’s concerts, Kinder Konzert, pops, and other special programs and projects. Previously named an American Conducting Fellow, the San Diego Union Tribune raved, “Mann was masterful … a skilled musical architect, designing and executing a beautifully paced interpretation, which seemed to spring from somewhere deep within the music rather than superimposed upon it.” The winner of the Karajan Fellowship at the Salzburg Festival, he has relationships with orchestras and operas worldwide: a few of them being the Cleveland Orchestra, l’Orchestre symphonique de Québec, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, Georgian State Opera, and the National Symphony of Cyprus. His Canadian debut with the OSQ was described by Le Soleil as a “Tour de force,” and a recent Beethoven 9 as “Titanic.” Mann has worked with leading artists such as Joshua Bell, Sharon Isbin, Dmitri Alexeev, Marvin Hamlisch, and given world premieres of major composers including

Artists . John Corigliano. Major premieres of other composers like Jennifer Higdon, Michael Torke, and Lucas Richman have cemented his commitment to living composers. He maintains a lively schedule as a guest conductor having conducted at New York’s Avery Fischer Hall and London’s Barbican Center. Active in symphonic, operatic, and new music repertories, he has served as music director of the Oxford City Opera and Oxford Pro Musica Chamber Orchestra. Elected a Rhodes Scholar, Mann studied and taught at Oxford, and won the annual competition to become principal conductor of the Oxford University Philharmonia. Under his leadership, the Philharmonia’s performances and tours received international press and acclaim. Mann studied with Alan Hazeldine of London’s Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Colin Metters at the Royal Academy of Music, and Marios Papadopolous of the Oxford Philomusica. He worked with Leonard Slatkin and the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center’s National Conducting Institute and Michael Tilson Thomas at the New World Symphony. Mentorship with EsaPekka Salonen and Jorma Panula followed at the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s Conducting Masterclasses, and Robert Spano with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra’s international Mozart Requiem Masterclass for the League of American Orchestras’ annual conference. He has also worked under Imre Pallo, David Effron, John Poole, and Thomas Baldner at Indiana University where he was appointed visiting lecturer in orchestral conducting and worked as assistant conductor at the IU Opera Theater. Additional studies came under the Bolshoi Theater’s music director, Alexander Vedernikov at the Moscow State Conservatory, Gustav Meier, Kenneth Kiesler, and with Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Robert Ward. ●

Ilya Kaler violin The only violinist to ever win Gold Medals at all three of the world’s most prestigious competitions, the Tchaikovsky, the Sibelius, and the Paganini Competitions, Ilya Kaler is already being compared to the likes of Heifetz and Perlman. Kaler’s recordings of the Paganini Caprices have been deemed by the American Record Guide to be “in a class by themselves,” combining “the perfection, passion, and phrase-sculpting of Michael Rabin with the energy, excitement, and immediacy of Jascha Heifetz.” Kaler’s recordings of both Paganini Concertos and Caprices, the Schumann Sonatas, both Shostakovich Concertos, the Dvorak Concerto, and the Glazunov Concerto have met with equally superlative acclaim. The Washington Post unabashedly lauds him as, “a consummate musician, Kaler is in total control at all times, with a peerless mastery of his violin.” Born into a family of musicians in Moscow, Ilya Kaler showed enormous talent from an early age. At the Central Music School of the Moscow Conservatory he studied under Zinaida Gilels and Yury Yankelevich. He continued his studies with Leonid Kogan and Viktor Tretyakov at the Moscow Conservatory, where he earned both Master’s and Doctorate degrees, and graduated with the Gold Medal Award. He also studied privately with Abram Shtern in the Soviet Union and the United States. Mr. Kaler has earned rave reviews for solo appearances with distinguished orchestras throughout the world. He has performed with the Leningrad, Moscow, and Dresden Philharmonic Orchestras, the Montreal Symphony, the Danish and Berlin Radio Orchestras, and the Moscow and Zurich Chamber Orchestras, among others. His

solo recitals have taken him throughout Europe, Scandinavia, East Asia, and the former Soviet Union. In recent years, Mr. Kaler has performed in the United States with the Detroit, Baltimore, and Seattle Symphony Orchestras, and at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., and has toured Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Singapore, Korea, Taiwan, England, Venezuela and Japan. In Japan, he played with the New Japan Philharmonic, the Century Symphony Orchestra, and the Hiroshima Symphony. Also an active chamber musician, Mr. Kaler has performed for several summers at the Newport Music Festival in Newport, Rhode Island. For five years, he served as Concertmaster of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. Ilya Kaler has also served as guest concertmaster with the Aspen Music Festival, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the San Francisco Symphony, and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. One of the most sought-after teachers in the world, Ilya Kaler has served as a Distinguished Professor at the Indiana University School of Music in Bloomington, Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y., and is currently a Professor of Violin at the DePaul University School of Music in Chicago. An active chamber musician, he has performed at festivals and chamber music societies around the world with Yuri Bashmet, Emmanuel Ax, Janos Starker, Tsuyoshi Tutsumi, Dmitry Sitkovetsky, Vadim Repin, Cécile Licad, Gérard Causse, Myron Bloom, Eli Eban, Atar Arad, Steven Doane, Alexander Peskanov, Boris Slutsky, Jonathan Cohler, and others. ●

Meet the Musicians

Joan Zucker cello Joan Zucker was first heard by New Mexicans in the mid-seventies as a jazz cellist with the Johnny Gilbert Quartet and Principal Cellist of the Orchestra of Santa Fe. Since then, she has performed in many of New Mexico’s finest ensembles, from the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival and Opera, to Sunday Chatter and the Figueroa Project. Joan was Principal Cellist of the NMSO since 1987 before becoming Principal of the New Mexico Philharmonic. She is enjoying branching out these days: she started a business, “Cello to Go,” playing informal house concerts of varied repertoire she has arranged for solo cello, which are followed by mini cello lessons for brave listeners; and performing

with “Shepherd Moon,” a quartet with harp, winds, guitar, cello, and voices, with a jazz/ Celtic/folk sound. Fun! Joan spent three and a half years living in Venezuela, first performing with the Filarmonica de Caracas, where she met her late husband, Joe Zoeckler, who became the NMSO’s Assistant Concertmaster. They moved to Merida where she was soloist and Principal Cellist with the Filarmonica de Merida (and where NMPhil’s Principal Bassist, Jean-Luc Matton was a member of the orchestra). Her frequent televised performances with the celebrated Cuarteto Interacional met with high critical acclaim. Joan and Joe then traveled in Asia for four months, including a one-month trek around the Annapurna Range, one of the highlights of her life, before moving to Santa Fe in 1983. Joan is a versatile musician who has taught extensively (cello, recorder, voice, orchestra, chamber music, theory, composition, and improvisation) both privately and at various institutions, including U.C. Santa Cruz, Ithaca College, and UNM. A native New Yorker, she started playing cello because her family ensemble needed a bass instrument! Joan graduated from Bennington College, where she studied with the Finckel clan, and has a Master’s in cello from Ithaca College. Joan loves the outdoors and is an avid hiker, skier, gardener, and traveler. She’s had the good fortune to backpack in areas as diverse as the Andes and the Himalayas. She has a terrific son, Leo, who is about to graduate from college. ●
