IN THE NEWS
and last conducted here in
Joan Tower’s A New Day was commissioned for cellist Alisa Weilerstein by the Colorado Music Festival, The Cleveland Orchestra, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the National Symphony Orchestra. This weekend marks the PSO premiere of the Concerto and we are honored to have composer Joan Tower in Pittsburgh with us for the rehearsals and Friday night performance.
Across the program, another thread is that of leading ladies. From the charms of Cunégonde in Voltaire’s Candide, to the dynamic creative synergy between Joan Tower and Alisa Weilerstein and finally the enchanting specter of Harriet Smithson, these leading ladies have motivated these fascinating musical works.

Musical Love Letters & Leading Ladies
and last performed here
“Rarely do the music of a composer and her personality match as well as those of Joan Tower. After only a few minutes into a conversation with the gregarious, thoughtful and intense woman, her inviting and energetic music makes even more sense. Hardly a point is made without a hearty, easygoing laugh —the sort of warm color that streams through her rhythmically charged –Andrewmusic.”Druckenbrod/Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Hector Ber lioz’s Symphonie Fantastique and Joan Tower’s A New Day for Cello and Orchestra may draw from different points of inspiration, but they share one important common thread: love. It was Berlioz’s total infatuation with, and unrequited love towards, Harriet Smithson that led him to compose his wild tale of passion, obsession and hallucination. A very different sort of musical love letter comes to life with leading American composer Joan Tower’s new Concerto inspired
The Art of Commissioning
-The New York Times “Berlioz tells it like it is. You take a trip, you wind up screaming at your own funeral.”
Vänskä made his
with
An icon among American composers, Joan Tower’s relationship with Pittsburgh dates back to 1998, when the late Music Director Mariss Jansons and the Pittsburgh Symphony commissioned and premiered her work Tambor. Pittsburgh audiences were immersed in her works throughout the 2010-2011 season when she served as Composer of the Year, which included performances of For the Uncommon Woman, Sequoia, Stroke, Made in America, and the Concerto for Clarinet featuring Principal Clarinet Michael Rusinek.
A commission is a process by which an individual or organization becomes an active participant in the creation of a new work of art, paying a composer to write a new piece for a specific purpose or event.
by Joan’s husband and partner of more than 50 years. Dedicated “with love to Jeff,” the Concerto contemplates the gift of their deep partnership while also recognizing the precious time that they have left together.

PSO PREMIERE
Joan Tower was born in New Rochelle, New York in 1938, raised in South America, where her father was a mining engineer, and returned to the United States to attend Bennington College and Columbia University, where she earned a doctorate in composition. After finishing her professional training, she taught at Greenwich House, a settlement house in New York, while also composing and performing as a pianist. Since 1972, Tower has been on the faculty of Bard College in Annandale-onHudson, New York, where she is now Asher Edelman Professor of Music. Tower’s many distinctions include awards and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, Koussevitzky Foundation, and National Endowment for the Arts, as well as the prestigious Grawemeyer Award from the University of Louisville in 1990, the first woman to receive that honor. In 2019, Tower was awarded the Gold Baton, the highest honor given by the League of American Orchestras, and in 2020, she was honored with the Richard J. Bogomolny National Service Award by Chamber Music America and named Musical America ’s Composer of the Year.
These concerts mark the first Pittsburgh Symphony performance of A New Day.

PREMIERE OF WORK
Lillian Hellman conceived a theater piece based on Voltaire’s Candide as early as 1950, but it was not until 1956 that the project materialized. She originally intended the work to be a play with incidental music, which she asked Leonard Bernstein to compose, but his enthusiasm for the subject was so great that the venture swelled into a full-blown comic operetta; Tyrone Guthrie was enlisted as director and Richard Wilbur wrote most of the song lyrics. Candide was first seen in a pre-Broadway tryout at Boston’s Colonial Theatre on October 29, 1956 (just days after Bernstein’s appointment as co-music director of the New York Philharmonic had been announced for the following season), and opened at the Martin Beck Theatre in New York on December 1st. The Overture, largely drawn from the show, captures perfectly the wit, brilliance and slapstick tumult of the operetta.

Symphonie Fantastique, Opus 14 (1830)
By 1830, when he turned 27, Hector Berlioz had won the Prix de Rome and gained a certain notoriety among the fickle Parisian public for his perplexingly original compositions. Hector Berlioz was also madly in love. The object of his amorous passion was an English actress of middling ability, one Harriet Smithson, whom the composer first saw when a touring English theatrical company performed Shakespeare in Paris in 1827. During the ensuing three years, this romance was entirely one-sided, since the young composer never met Harriet but only knew her across the footlights as Juliet and Ophelia. He sent her such frantic love letters that she never responded to any of them, fearful of encouraging a madman.

Berlioz wrote of the Symphonie Fantastique, “PART I: Reveries and Passions. The young musician first recalls that uneasiness of soul he experienced before seeing her whom he loves, then recognizes the volcanic love with which she suddenly inspired him. PART II: A Ball. He sees his beloved at a ball, in the midst of the tumult of a brilliant fête. PART III: Scene in the Country. One summer evening in the country he hears two shepherds playing a ranz-des-vaches in alternate dialogue … but what if she were to betray him! PART IV: March to the Scaffold. He dreams that he has killed his beloved, that he is condemned to death, and led to execution. PART V: Dream of a Witches’ Sabbath. He sees himself at the Witches’ Sabbath, amid ghosts, magicians and monsters of all sorts, who have come together for his obsequies. The beloved melody reappears, and she takes part in the diabolic orgy ... Funeral knells, burlesque parody on the Dies Irae [the ancient ‘Day of Wrath ’ chant from the Roman Catholic Requiem Mass for the Dead]. Witches’ Dance. The Witches’ Dance and the Dies Irae together.”

PREMIERE OF WORK
HECTOR BERLIOZ
December 22, 1905; Carnegie Music Hall; Emil Paur, conductor
DURATION
Of A New Day, composed for cellist Alisa Weilerstein, Tower wrote, “I composed the music with love to Jeff, my partner of 48 years, who turned 94 in April of 2021. While writing this piece, I realized that our long time together was getting shorter, becoming more and more precious with each new day.… A New Day is in four movements: Daybreak , Working Out, Mostly Alone and Into the Night Those titles are suggestions, open to interpretation of what the music might refer to. Following the opening movement’s lyrical beginning, the soloist nudges the orchestra onward at a brisk clip. A moment of reflection leads to the second movement and the work at hand. The third movement is like a cadenza for solitary cello — in which the orchestra’s strings occasionally make appearances. The closing movement rushes forward into the night — ending with hope for another new day.”
Berlioz was still nursing his unrequited love for Harriet in 1830 when his emotional state served as the germ for a composition based on this “Episode from the Life of an Artist,” as he subtitled the Symphonie Fantastique. In this work, the artist visualizes his beloved through an opium-induced trance, first in his dreams, then at a ball, in the country, at his execution and, finally, as a participant in a witches’ sabbath. She is represented by a musical theme that appears in each of the five movements, an idée fixe (a term Berlioz borrowed from the just-emerging field of psychology to denote an unhealthy obsession) that is transformed to suit its imagined musical surroundings.

Conductor Laureate of the Minnesota Orchestra, where he held the Music Directorship for 19 years, and Music Director of Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra from 2020 to 2023, Osmo Vänskä is recognised for his compelling interpretations of repertoire of all ages and an energetic presence on the podium. His democratic and inclusive style of work has been key in forging long-standing relationships with many orchestras worldwide.
Orchestra, Shanghai Symphony Orchestra and China, Hangzhou, Hong Kong and Taiwan Philharmonic Orchestras.
He returns this season to the Symphony and Philharmonic orchestras of Bamberg, Chicago, Los Angeles, Helsinki, Israel, Houston, Montreal, and Pittsburgh amongst others, while past guest conducting invitations include renowned international ensembles such as Cleveland, Philadelphia, and San Francisco Symphony Orchestras in North America, Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestre de Paris, Iceland Symphony, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin and Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin as well as London Philharmonic Orchestra. He is regularly invited to guest conduct in Asia including with Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony
Performances of Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 with Minnesota Orchestra in June 2022 provided a fitting culmination for Vänskä’s tenure as Music Director. Together they undertook five major European tours, as well as an historic trip to Cuba in 2015 – the first visit by an American orchestra since the two countries re-established diplomatic relations. They also made a groundbreaking tour to South Africa in 2018 as part of worldwide celebrations of Nelson Mandela’s Centenary – furthermore the first visit by an American orchestra - drawing together South African and American performers in musical expressions of peace, freedom, and reconciliation on a five-city tour. Vanska and Minnesota Orchestra also made an acclaimed return to London’s BBC Proms in Summer 2018.

Vänskä continues to develop a visiting and touring relationship with Curtis Institute of Music Symphony Orchestra, leading conducting seminars as well as tours in Europe, the US and Asia. He has also been invited to guest conduct New World Symphony in Miami, where he additionally coaches its Conducting Fellows.
A distinguished recording artist for the BIS label, Vänskä is currently recording all of Mahler’s symphonies with Minnesota Orchestra. The Fifth Symphony received a Grammy nomination in 2017 for Best Orchestral Performance. Vänskä and Minnesota have also recorded the complete symphonies of Beethoven and Sibelius to critical acclaim, winning a Grammy Award for Best Orchestral Performance in 2014 as well as being nominated on several occasions. In 2021 they were voted Gramophone’s ‘Orchestra of the

Vänskä is the recipient of a Royal Philharmonic Society Award, the Finlandia Foundation’s Arts
and Letters award, the 2010 Ditson Award from Columbia University and the Pro Finlandia medal awarded to him by the State of Finland. He holds honorary doctorates from the universities of Glasgow and Minnesota and was named Musical America’s 2005 Conductor of the Year. In 2013 he received the Annual Award from the German Record Critics’ Award Association for his involvement in BIS’s recordings of the complete works by Sibelius.
La Jolla Summerfest, Seattle Chamber Music Festival, Naantali Summer Festival, Sysmä Summer Sounds and Music in Ruovesi, to name a few. He has recorded Bernhard Henrik Crusell’s three Clarinet Quartets and Kalevi Aho’s Clarinet Quintet for the BIS label and is in the process of recording several duos for clarinet and violin which he has commissioned with his wife, violinist Erin Keefe.
and championed important new works by composers including Pascal Dusapin, Osvaldo Golijov and Matthias Pintscher. Already an authority on Bach’s music for unaccompanied cello, in spring 2020 Weilerstein released a best-selling recording of his solo suites on the Pentatone label, streamed them in her innovative #36DaysOfBach project, and deconstructed his beloved G-major prelude in a Vox.com video, viewed more than two million times. Her discography also includes chart-topping albums and the winner of BBC Music’s “Recording of the Year” award, while other career milestones include a performance at the White House for President and Mrs. DiagnosedObama.
Alisa Weilerstein is one of the foremost cellists of our time. Known for her consummate artistry, emotional investment and rare interpretive depth, she was recognized with a MacArthur “genius grant” Fellowship in 2011. Today her career is truly global in scope, taking her to the most prestigious international venues for solo recitals, chamber concerts and concerto collaborations with all the preeminent conductors and orchestras worldwide. “Weilerstein is a throwback to an earlier age of classical performers: not content merely to serve as a vessel for the composer’s wishes, she inhabits a piece fully and turns it to her own ends,” marvels the New York Times. “Weilerstein’s cello is her id. She doesn’t give the impression that making music involves will at all. She and the cello seem simply to be one and the same,” agrees the Los Angeles Times. As the UK’s Telegraph put it, “Weilerstein is truly a phenomenon.”

With her multi-season new project, “FRAGMENTS,” Weilerstein aims to rethink the concert experience and broaden the tent for classical music. A multisensory production for solo cello, the six-chapter series sees her weave together the 36 movements of Bach’s solo cello suites with 27 new commissions. After premiering the first two chapters in Toronto in early 2023, with subsequent performances at New York’s Carnegie Hall and beyond, she looks forward to touring all six chapters in seasons to come. Weilerstein recently premiered Joan Tower’s new cello concerto, A New Day, at the Colorado Music Festival. The work was co-commissioned with the Detroit Symphony; the Cleveland Orchestra, where Weilerstein performed it last fall; and the National Symphony, where she reprised it in May. An ardent proponent of contemporary music, she has also premiered

with type 1 diabetes at nine years old, Weilerstein is a staunch advocate for the T1D community. She lives with her husband, Venezuelan conductor Rafael Payare, and their two young children.

17BIOGRAPHY 2022-2023 SEASON
THE SYMPHONYPITTSBURGHORCHESTRA
Now in its 127th season, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra is credited with a rich history of engaging the world’s finest conductors and musicians and demonstrates a genuine commitment to the Pittsburgh region and its citizens. Known for its artistic excellence for more than a century, the Pittsburgh Symphony has been led by its worldwide acclaimed Music Director Manfred Honeck since 2008; past music directors have included Fritz Reiner (1938-1948), William Steinberg (1952-1976), André Previn (1976-1984), Lorin Maazel (1984-1996) and Mariss Jansons (1997-2004).
The Pittsburgh Symphony is continually at the forefront of championing new American works. The Orchestra premiered Leonard Bernstein’s Symphony No. 1 “Jeremiah” in 1944, John Adams’ Short Ride in a Fast Machine in 1986, and Mason Bates’ Resurrexit in 2018 to celebrate Manfred Honeck’s 60th birthday.
history in the areas of recordings and live radio broadcasts. Manfred Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra have received multiple GRAMMY® nominations for Best Orchestral Performance, taking home the award in 2018 for their recording of Shostakovich: Symphony No. 5; Barber: Adagio. As early as 1936, the Pittsburgh Symphony has been broadcast on the radio. The orchestra has received increased attention since 1982 through national network radio broadcasts on Public Radio International, produced by Classical WQED-FM 89.3, made possible by the musicians of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.
Lauded as the Pittsburgh region’s international cultural ambassador, the orchestra began regular touring in 1896 and has embarked on scores of domestic and international tours. In the summer of 2022, Music Director Manfred Honeck led the orchestra on an extensive and highly acclaimed tour of Europe, celebrating 75 years of international touring for the orchestra.
