Chief Executive Officer Dear Friends:

It has been twenty months since we were together for a full season of live music at the Southern Theatre. Indeed, we have navigated a very strange and complex year and a half – but we have emerged stronger than ever! Together, we experienced tremendous creativity, innovation, and deepening of friendships with all of you, and we are grateful. And now, it is with immense joy to welcome you to our 2021-22 season! This year, we celebrate our quintessential mix of the contemporary and cherished classics. Highlights include our ongoing commitment to championing new works, as we perform the world premieres of our 68th and 69th commissions from composer/ pianist Stewart Goodyear and composer/cellist Joshua Roman. The Fives served as a wonderful host to us last year and we are thrilled to establish a new 3-part chamber music series, presented there later in the season. We welcome a remarkable roster of guest artists and rising and diverse young talents, featured alongside our own brilliant musicians. Our 43rd season will not be short on variety! Finally, THANK YOU — for your warm and generous support during a very difficult time. From sudden lockdown, to our reimagined “Season of Festivals” performances at The Fives, to our digital concert series, to now our very emotional first moments back onstage at the Southern Theatre. Thank you for your encouragement, for staying with us, and for inspiring us to keep playing. We look forward to sharing many transformative musical moments, and connectedness to one another. Warmest Wishes,

Janet Chen

The Elizabeth M. Ross Music Director

David Danzmayr

“ The performance was an unmitigated triumph.” Michael Tumelty, The Herald

“Extremely good, concise, clear, incisive and expressive” writes The Herald of David Danzmayr, who is widely regarded as one of the most talented and exciting European conductors of his generation. Following on a very successful tenure as Chief Conductor of the Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra, Danzmayr was appointed Conductor Laureate, the youngest ever to hold this title in the orchestra´s history. Performing regularly to sold-out audiences in Zagreb´s Lisinski Hall and having been awarded the Zagreb City Award, Danzmayr and his orchestra also repeatedly toured to the Salzburg Festspielhaus, where they received standing ovations performing the prestigious New Year’s concert, and to the Wiener Musikverein. Danzmayr serves as Music Director of the creative and unique ProMusica Chamber Orchestra, an orchestra comprised of musicians from all over the United States. Here, he regularly commissions worldrenowned composer/performers to appear in the first performances of their works alongside the great classics, a mission that extends the creative spirit of classical music and places the core repertoire in a modern context. In February 2021, David was announced as the new Music Director of the Oregon Symphony. Previously David Danzmayr served as Music Director of the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra in Chicago, where he was lauded regularly by both the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Classical Review for his performances. He was also the only conductor in the Chicago area, who programmed a piece of American music at every concert. David has won prizes at some of the world´s most prestigious conducting competitions including a 2nd prize at the International Gustav Mahler Conducting Competition and prizes at the International Malko Conducting Competition. For his extraordinary success, he has been awarded the Bernhard Paumgartner Medal by the Internationale Stiftung Mozarteum.

Building these early successes into a far-reaching international career, Danzmayr has quickly become a sought-after guest conductor for orchestras around the globe, having worked in Europe with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, Vienna Radio, Stuttgart Radio, City of Birmingham, Hamburg, Basel, Bamberg, Odense, and Iceland symphonies, as well as Essener Philharmoniker, Bruckner Orchester, Mozarteum Orchester, Swedish Chamber Orchestra and others. In North America, his talents have propelled him to the finest of U.S. and Canadian orchestras in a very short time, where he has already conducted the likes of the Minnesota Orchestra, the Detroit, Houston, Oregon, Milwaukee, Utah, Vancouver, San Diego, Colorado, North Carolina, Pacific, New Jersey, and Indianapolis symphonies, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and Grant Park Festival just to name a few. Besides numerous reinvitations, he will make major debuts this season with the Baltimore Symphony, San Antonio Symphony, Virginia Symphony, the Rochester Philharmonic and the BBC Orchestra of Wales. He has served as Assistant Conductor of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, which he conducted in more than 70 concerts so far, performing in all the major Scottish concert halls and the prestigious, Orkney based, St Magnus Festival. David Danzmayr received his musical training at the University Mozarteum in Salzburg where, after initially studying piano, he went on to study conducting in the class of Dennis Russell Davies. Danzmayr was strongly influenced by Pierre Boulez and Claudio Abbado in his time as conducting stipendiate of the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra and by Leif Segerstam during his additional studies in the conducting class of the Sibelius Academy. Subsequently, he gained significant experience as assistant to Neeme Järvi, Stephane Deneve, Carlos Kalmar, Sir Andrew Davis, and Pierre Boulez, who entrusted Danzmayr with the preparatory rehearsals for his music.

“Clearly Danzmayr has what it takes.” –John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune

Universally recognized among today’s top performing artists, Vadim Gluzman breathes new life and passion into the golden era of the 19th and 20th centuries’ violin tradition. Gluzman's wide repertoire embraces new music, and his performances are heard around the world through live broadcasts and a striking catalogue of award-winning recordings exclusively for the BIS label. Accolades for his extensive discography include the Diapason d'Or of the Year, Gramophone's Editor's Choice, Classica magazine's Choc de Classica award, and Disc of the Month honors from The Strad, BBC Music Magazine, and ClassicFM.

In the upcoming seasons he will introduce new violin concertos by Erkki-Sven Tüür and Joshua Roman. Distinguished Artist in Residence at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, Gluzman plays the legendary 1690 ‘ex-Leopold Auer’ Stradivari on extended loan to him through the generosity of the Stradivari Society of Chicago.

The Israeli violinist appears with world’s leading orchestras and conductors, including performances with Tugan Sokhiev and the Berlin Philharmonic, Boston and Chicago Symphony and Orchestre de Paris; Riccardo Chailly with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Gewandhaus Orchestra, as well as with the Cleveland Orchestra under the batons of Hannu Lintu and Michail Jurowski.

In 2017, ProMusica made its Chicago debut performing for a sold-out crowd at the North Shore Chamber Music Festival. We embrace an array of eras and influences—as masters of classical works, champions of bold new commissions and innovators of crossover collaborations, ProMusica’s performances are time-tested and modern, presented in ways that few orchestras can.

ProMusica’s

Composer/ Performer Project ProMusica Chamber Orchestra’s longstanding commitment to the performance of new music and supporting the work of living composers is demonstrated with 69 commissions and over. 120 premieres to our credit.

Music Director David Danzmayr’s initiative, our Composer/ Performer Project, has played a significant role in our broader goal to connect audiences to composers—not just masters of the past such as Beethoven and Mozart—but to the living musicians and artists of today. The entire life cycle of a new work is reflected: from creation, to development, to a premiere performance. This project is an eff ort to showcase today’s composers as not only creators of work, but soloists in their own right. While there was a time when this idea might not have seemed so novel (for example during the time that Mozart lived),ProMusica offers audiences a new and fresh perspective on living composers. The Composer/Performer Project launched in April of 2014 and has since featured Lera Auerbach, Huw Watkins, Joshua Roman, Conrad Tao, Gabriela Montero, and Richard Scofano. This season, we welcome three composer/ performers to the Southern Theatre stage including Xavier Foley, Stewart Goodyear, and Joshua Roman.

Clarice Assad (b. 1978): Suite for Lower Strings

Instrumentation: Scored for string orchestra Duration: Approximately 10 minutes Born in Rio de Janeiro, Clarice Assad maintains a highly active career as both a composer and performer. Her scores have been played by orchestras and chamber ensembles across the globe, including ProMusica (2012), while her recent commissions by the Camerata Pacifica, the League of American Orchestras, the Oregon Symphony, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, the LA Philharmonic and the Philadelphia Orchestra speaks to her current popularity. Assad, a Grammy-nominated composer, is also a pianist and vocalist who has shared the stage with artists such as Bobby McFerrin and Paquito D’Rivera. While much of her work reflects a love of her native Brazil, Assad’s Suite for Lower Strings, from 2009, has more in common with the Baroque in general and with Bach specifically. Tonight, we will play the final three movements of the five-movement suite, which the composer describes as a ‘fantasy.’ You will no doubt be familiar with her Bach quotations, such as the aria “Sleepers Awake” from Cantata BWV 208 and the opening Prelude form the First Suite for Solo Cello, tunes that weave in and out of the musical fabric and which Assad imbues with a rich and inventive musical vocabulary. As the title of the work suggests, Assad has sought to emphasize the ensemble’s lower strings, lending the cellos, violas and basses the melodic material Bach and his contemporaries would, more often than not, have traditionally handed to the violins.

FROM THE COMPOSER: Xavier Foley (b. 1995): For Justice and Peace Instrumentation: Scored for violin, double bass, and string orchestra Duration: 8 minutes

"I was approached by the Sphinx Organization to create a double concerto for violin, double bass, and string orchestra that marks the 400 years of slavery ever since the arrival of the slave ship "White Lion" (1619) in Jamestown, Virginia. The finished work called "For Justice and Peace" ended up featuring both a gavel and a chorus; the players in the string orchestra would sing the vocal parts in addition to playing their instruments. Both the gavel and the chorus represent past experiences of the first African slaves in Jamestown. The gavel in the work represents the multiple occasions where African Americans attempted to seek justice in a courtroom that, over time, became less of a place of fair judgement for the person of color. The chorus in the concerto was used to represent the moments where African slaves would sing together in an attempt to evoke feelings of comfort and joy during a time where a majority of privileges and basic human rights were revoked on the basis of skin color. The lyrics were personally chosen to reflect the slaves plea for equity and justice."

Giovanni Bottesini (1821-1889): Double Bass Concerto No. 2 in B Minor

Instrumentation: Scored for double bass and strings Duration: 15 minutes If the word “virtuosic '' doesn't leap to mind when you see or hear the double bass, then you’re probably in good company. On average, this seemingly unwieldy instrument is most often regarded as the accompanimental backbone of the orchestra (or, for that matter, a jazz ensemble), as it slowly lumbers through the orchestral thicket, a gentle beast among its more lithe musical companions. That said, the king of strings hasn’t lacked its esteemed virtuosi. Giovanni Bottesini is generally thought of as the first, a Lombardy-born son-of-a-clarinetist who evidently took up the bass in order to secure a scholarship at a school short of bassists. Bottesini soon developed into one of the

2 0 2 1 - 2 2 S E A S O N | promusicacolumbus.org

greatest exponents the instrument has ever known and while he may not have exuded the devilish allure of Paganini, whose dazzling violin playing and rumored connections to Lucifer cast a spell over European audiences, parallels were often enough drawn between Bottesini’s abilities on his own instrument and that of his Italian compatriot. Like Paganini, Bottesini composed works designed to exploit his own virtuosic powers and impress his listeners, as is the case with his Second Concerto, performed tonight. But unlike his Italian colleague, Bottesini also thought beyond his instrument, composing string quartets and other ensemble works, an oratorio and a handful of operas (during the intermissions Bottesini often took center stage, entertaining his audience with his bass pyrotechnics). He was also in demand as a conductor and was selected by none other than Verdi to conduct the 1871 world premiere of Aida in Cairo. The Second Concerto, in B minor, is cast in the standard three movement fast-slow-fast structure, opening with lyrical material before launching into the rapid passagework Bottesini’s listeners would have awaited, all leading up to the virtuosic cadenza near the movement’s close. As a Romantic-age composer, however, Bottesini also prided himself on tuneful melodies, which allowed him to play to exploit the gorgeous tone of his Testore bass, one of the greatest double basses ever built (the instrument is currently owned by a collector in Japan). Thus, the slow second movement is richly melodic, reflective of the composer’s operatic arias, while also exploiting the instrument’s tremendous range. The spirited finale reflects Bottesini’s dramatic flair for the stage and culminates in another cadenza, before a charmingly folksy coda drives the music to its thrilling closing bars.

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827): Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92

Instrumentation: Scored for pairs of flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, horns and trumpets, timpani and strings Duration: 36 minutes Beethoven, for the Romantics, was the misunderstood genius personified, a man who defied tremendous hardships, conquered fate at the darkest hours, dedicated his life to

his art and professed themes of universal brotherhood. Deaf, driven and direct, Beethoven literally and figuratively refused to bow to the aristocracy because he considered himself equally noble. Musically, he went where no composer had gone before, offering up symphonies that plumbed the depths of human emotions, from grief and anger to unbridled joy. It is this latter quality that dominates Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony. Having taken on themes of heroics and dissolution (3rd Symphony), the struggle from dark to light (5th Symphony) and nature’s divine essence (6th Symphony), Beethoven was now moved by a wholly different source of inspiration: dance. By all accounts a lousy dancer himself, he nevertheless understood its rhythms, inherent energy and drive, and this was what underscores his beloved 7th. To be sure, Beethoven is not evoking the courtly minuet as danced in polished shoes within Vienna’s Hofburg palace but the raucous foot stomping of the Austrian folk. For a little under forty minutes, we are forced to set aside our conceptions of Beethoven the misanthrope and instead are offered up the image of a composer in the full swing of life, a man who did nothing halfway. For all its Bacchic intentions, the 1812 A major Symphony remains couched within the classic architecture of Beethoven’s day. The first movement even opens with a slow Haydnesque introduction—the longest symphonic introduction Beethoven would ever compose—that maps out the symphony’s significant tonal relationships. As the music cascades into the Vivace, we might consider the nature of the dotted motive—long-short-long, long-shortlong—which drives the score incessantly forward. This is Beethoven at his most obsessive, a hallmark, along with the explosive dynamic shifts and abrupt modulations, of his “middle period” scores. There is no true slow movement in this symphony, rather an A minor Allegretto (a little lively), which only seems slow in comparison with that which surrounds it. Beethoven casts the movement as a double set of variations, which banks back and forth between two main ideas, re-inventing each anew. Listen for the mysterious fugato passage about six minutes in and the explosive variation that follows, as well as to the movement’s colorful final phrases, which Beethoven divides up among families of instruments. The scherzo third movement opens with explosive force in F major and drives with unabated joyousness to its D major

2 0 2 1 - 2 2 S E A S O N | promusicacolumbus.org

trio, propelled forward by rhythmic energy and humorous percussive interjections. The calmer trio at the center offers momentary relief, at least until the music swells majestically. As he does in several works from this period, Beethoven tacks on an additional B-A section to the traditional A-B-A minuet (thus A-B-A-B-A), building an architecture of royal proportions. The symphony concludes with a relentless Allegro con brio finale, a movement of whirling intensity used to great effect in the movie Breaking Away and which the noted British musicologist Sir Donald Tovey described as “bacchic fury.” Although we are immediately swept up in the music’s rhythmic vitality, it should be noted that origins of the melody, as with the preceding scherzo, reside in true folk music (the scherzo draws on an Austrian peasant song and this finale an Irish folk song that Beethoven had previously arranged). This sonata-form movement includes an expansive development and a sweeping coda, the latter featuring a triple forte dynamic (fff), a rare event even for one of Beethoven’s explosive temperament.

The premiere of the Seventh marked one of the most successful and colorful musical events the composer ever experienced, in no small part a consequence of the score having been well rehearsed—which was often not the case—and the quality of the ensemble. Beethoven stocked his band with some of Europe’s greatest players, and violinist Ludwig Spohr, a member of the violin section, noted Beethoven jumping in the air in a forte passage. Some naturally thought Beethoven mad, yet the composer, who regarded this symphony as one of his best, was more likely carried away by his musical celebration of life. How better to round out the opening concert of our 43rd season?

NOVEMBER: About the Music The Jon Mac Anderson Program Notes underwritten by Porter, Wright, Morris and Arthur, LLP

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827): Septet in E-flat Major, Op. 20 Instrumentation: Scored for violin, viola, cello, bass, clarinet, bassoon and horn Duration: 40 minutes The 18th century, and in particular, 18th century Vienna, was awash in serenades and divertimentos, light music intended, as the latter term suggests— as a “diversion”. Such music was featured as entertainment in all sorts of venues, from the ballroom of the nobility and upper classes to the out of doors of the common folk. By its very nature, the genre offered a foil to more serious symphonies, along with more freedom to the composer, who could incorporate whatever combinations of instruments and movement types struck his—or much less common—her fancy. Beethoven scored his E-flat Septet for seven instruments, a choice that reflected the essence of the classical symphony—a representation of strings, winds and brass—without the orchestral size or usual doublings. Within this setting he then placed particular emphasis on the violin and clarinet.

Beethoven’s Septet is thus youthful in spirit yet delivered up by the hand of a master. And while its six movements may appear random, they actually reveal a logical architecture. At the work’s emotional core are the Adagio cantabile and the Theme and Variations, the latter which Beethoven marks Andante (a casual walking tempo). The Adagio amply illustrates that Beethoven—whose obsession would soon swing toward rhythm and the manipulation of small melodic motives—could spin out melodies with the best of them when so inspired, while the Theme and Variations showcases Beethoven’s seeming limitless powers of invention. He would return to this scheme time and time again throughout his life, in nearly every genre he composed. Whereas a formal symphony would have embraced either a courtly minuet or a faster-paced scherzo, the serenade setting allowed Beethoven to include examples of both; the latter is ushered in with the French horn’s hunting call while the relaxed trio at its center brings the cello to center stage. The first and last movements confirm the composition’s overall key of E flat and themselves offer similar architectures, each opening with a slow introduction before moving on to more spirited tempos. Take note of the mock seriousness of the March that belies the finale’s playfulness (marked Presto). Towards the movement’s end, Beethoven cleverly switches into orchestral mode, or at least gives the impression of having composed a concerto, first providing the violin with a formal cadenza and then wrapping things up almost symphonically, brilliantly leaving us with the impression that we have been listening to an orchestra all along!

Beethoven’s Op. 20 was, like Mozart’s works of a similar nature (and whose models proved inspiration to Beethoven’s own) entertainment through and through. That it sprang from a rather idyllic period of the composer’s life no doubt helps to account for its popular atmosphere. Though in 1799, the year of its composition, Beethoven was still regarded as an up-and-coming composer (his First Symphony would follow a year later, and the first string quartets appear a year after that), he had established himself among the foremost of Europe’s piano virtuosi, numbered members of the nobility among his piano class, was purchasing fashionable clothes and learning to dance and had no inkling of the devastating deafness that would begin to surface only a year or so later.

Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998): Concerto Grosso No. 1 Instrumentation: Scored for two solo violins, harpsichord, prepared piano and string orchestra Duration: 30 minutes Among the challenges faced by modern composers is how to create an engaging piece of music that doesn’t rely on memorable melodies, the generating factor of a great deal of music up until the last century or so. The start of the 20th century witnessed the musical bushwacking of figures like Debussy, Stravinsky and Schoenberg, composers who abandoned age-old techniques in search of new ways of doing things. That charge was subsequently taken up by many who followed, among them American John Cage and the Russian-born, Viennese-and-Moscow-trained Alfred Schnittke. While Schnittke’s years in the Austrian capital cemented his connection to his musical past, he nevertheless developed one of the modern world’s most sophisticated and eclectic musical minds, as amply illustrated by the work performed tonight, the Concerto Grosso No. 1 from 1976-77. The idea for the composition was sparked by two violinists, Gidon Kremer and Tatiana Grindenko, but the music’s true spiritual inspiration springs from composers like John Cage, a musical maverick whose innovations included breaking free of the tyranny of the barline and questioning the whole concept of “what is music”. Of course, the harpsichord and the concerto grosso genre, an ensemble work that pitted two or more soloists against a larger ensemble, were both products of the Baroque, both of which soon fell out of fashion. In his Concerto Grosso No. 1 Schnittke incorporates both, along with a few noticeable Baroque musical gestures and movement types, though it is Schnittke’s eclectic language that is arguably most compelling to our modern sensibilities. These include the use of the prepared piano heard at the start (coins inserted into the piano’s upper register lend it its otherworldly timbre), sonic bursts of explosive dissonance and occasional aleatoric gestures (moments left to chance), suggestive of the innovations of John Cage and, more recently, Krzysztof Penderecki.

The thirty-minute score opens with a sombre and sparse Preludio, introducing us to Schnittke’s challenging yet always arresting musical language. This moves directly into the Toccata, a Baroque composition designed to display the performer’s dexterity. The throwback language of the start quickly gives way to rapid give and take among the ensemble and frolicking freneticism exuded by the solo violins. The Recitativo’s iciness provides a perfect foil to the activity that preceded it, characterized by the juxtaposition of Schnittke’s chordal writing for the entire ensemble and the bracing dialogue of the soloists. This unsustainable intensity then segues directly into a cadenza for the two violins, a call and response exchange that includes demanding arco and pizzicato—playing with and without the bow, respectively—and improvisational passagework. A flourish of harpsichord arpeggios ushers in the Rondo, whose opening rapid, four-note gesture serves as the movement’s recurring refrain. It will be set off by a host of other ideas, including no less than a seductive Tango! The Rondo’s explosive drive eventually gives way to shocking E major/C sharp minor chords played by the soloists, an example of what Schnittke deemed “polystylism”. This abrupt shift sets up the return of the mysterious “church bells” of the opening and the concluding Postludio, as the sustained strings dissolve into the ether. The Concerto Grosso No. 1 was among the works that helped launch Schnittke’s reputation in the West and though plagued by poor health, the composer managed to write some of the most significant works of our time and for some of the era’s foremost performers (Gidon Kremer and cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, to name but two). This included the composition of nine symphonies, by which time he was so ill that his manuscript was all but illegible. If the “nine symphonies” model—as established by Beethoven and followed up by Schubert, Dvorak and Mahler, among others—is any indication of greatness, then Schnittke certainly deserves his place in the composers’ pantheon. And while you may not go out whistling tunes from the Concerto Grosso as you might with Beethoven’s Septet, you nevertheless will have experienced one of the most powerful and captivating works of the last half century.

Borrowing techniques and subject matter from graffiti, ancient mythology, and abstract painting, Adam Hernandez likes to describe his art as a kind of “ghetto hieroglyphics.” He is inspired by both the support and the friendly competition he finds in Columbus. “I think competition forces artists to keep pushing their boundaries and in turn some really rad art gets created.”
