From the

Welcome to our 2019-20 season! This year, Music Director David Danzmayr, Creative Partner Vadim Gluzman, and our ProMusica musicians will continue to bend and push musical boundaries. A remarkable roster of international guests including percussionist Colin Currie and violinist Esther Yoo will be showcased alongside our own brilliant talent. Each of our performances this season features the work of one or more living composers, as we continue to promote our ever-evolving art form. We will highlight the beautiful music of Wolfgang Danzmayr, father of our own David Danzmayr in January — and Caroline Shaw, the youngest composer to win the Pulitzer Prize at age 30 joins us in May for a powerful season finale alongside Brahms’ First Symphony. ProMusica also adds three premieres under its belt this season — the Ohio premiere of female composer Helen Grime’s Percussion Concerto; the U.S. premiere of Argentinian composer/performer Richard Scofano’s concerto for bandoneón and orchestra; and the world premiere of our 68th commission by composer and cellist Joshua Roman. And true to our trademark mix of innovation and tradition, our NAKED CLASSICS series continues with host Paul Rissmann and together we delve into the minds and magical works of Mozart and Schubert. Whether you are a long-term subscriber, or new to the ProMusica experience, we welcome you! Our concerts are nothing without an audience, and your generous and warm-hearted response to ProMusica is an inspiration to us. Thank you for your support and for sharing your evening with ProMusica. Sincerely,

Janet Chen

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. 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.

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

Building these early successes into a far-reaching international career, Danzmayr has quickly become a sought-after guest conductor

Creative Partner & Principal Guest Artist

Vadim Gluzman

Universally recognized among today’s top performing artists, Vadim Gluzman brings to life the glorious violinistic tradition of the 19th and 20th centuries. 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. The Israeli violinist appears regularly with major orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic, Boston Symphony, Chicago Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, Israel Philharmonic, Leipzig Gewandhaus, London Symphony, Orchestre de Paris, Philadelphia Orchestra, and the Royal Concertgebouw. He collaborates with leading conductors including Riccardo Chailly, Christoph von Dohnányi, Tugan Sokhiev, Sir Andrew Davis, Neeme Järvi, Michael Tilson Thomas, Semyon Bychkov, Jukka-Pekka Saraste, Paavo Järvi, and Hannu Lintu. Festival appearances include performances at Lockenhaus, Ravinia, Tanglewood, Verbier, and the North Shore Chamber Music Festival in Chicago, founded by Gluzman and pianist Angela Yoffe, his wife and recital partner.

This season Gluzman gives the world premieres of a new violin concerto by Erkki-Sven Tüür with the HR Frankfurt Radio Symphony under Andris Poga, Joshua Roman’s Double Concerto with the ProMusica Chamber Orchestra, conducted by David Danzmayr, Moritz Eggert’s “Mir mit Dir” at the Kronberg Academy Festival, as well as UK premiere of Sofia Gubaidulina’s Triple Concerto with BBC Philharmonic under Omer Meir Wellber. He has given live and recorded premieres of other works by Sofia Gubaidulina, as well as Giya Kancheli, Elena Firsova, Pēteris Vasks, Michael Daugherty, and most recently Lera Auerbach. 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 by The Strad, BBC Music Magazine, ClassicFM, and others. Distinguished Artist in Residence at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, Gluzman performs on the legendary 1690 ‘ex-Leopold Auer’ Stradivari on extended loan to him through the generosity of the Stradivari Society of Chicago.

Highlights of his 2019-20 season include performances with Orchestre de Paris under Tugan Sokhiev and the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra in Carnegie Hall, concerts with the BBC Philharmonic, Detroit and Houston Symphony Orchestras, St. Petersburg Philharmonic, Lucerne Symphony, Dresden Philharmonic, Staatskapelle Weimar, and Orchestre National de Lyon. He will lead the Moscow Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra and the ProMusica Chamber Orchestra in Columbus, Ohio, where he serves as Creative Partner and Principal Guest Artist. 2 0 1 9 - 2 0 S E A S O N | promusicacolumbus.org

OUR MISSION

To deliver a world-class chamber orchestra experience through: Innovative programming, Audience intimacy, Exceptional talent & Artistic excellence

About the Orchestra 8

2 0 1 9 - 2 0 S E A S O N | promusicacolumbus.org

ProMusica is 37 musicians from all over the country who are redefining what it means to be a chamber orchestra. Led by Music Director David Danzmayr and Creative Partner, renowned violinist Vadim Gluzman, our vision is to engage, inspire, and connect people to the world around them through the joy of ProMusica. The orchestra both honors the classical traditions and champions the contemporary, with a deep commitment to new works, commissions and premieres.

collaborations with crossover artists including Jon Batiste, Steep Canyon Rangers, Time for Three, Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder, and Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. This is all a testament to the world-class musicians on stage who thrive on artistic exploration and risk-taking — performing with the highest skill, emotion and humanity for our audiences.

Founded in 1979, ProMusica reaches a broad audience, performing at the intimate Southern Theatre in downtown Columbus in which it is the resident orchestra, and goes beyond the city limits, presenting concerts at the Worthington United Methodist Church. The orchestra presents an annual Summer Music Series of outdoor performances at the Franklin Park Conservatory & Botanical Gardens, and offers unique and intimate chamber ensemble concerts at non-traditional spaces including Natalie’s Coal-Fired Pizza, Brothers Drake Meadery, and Wolf’s Ridge Brewing. In 2017, ProMusica made its Chicago debut performing for a sold-out crowd at the prestigious North Shore Chamber Music Festival. Chicago Classical Review noted the ensemble’s “robust unified string timbre [was] most impressive, having an abundant Mozartean grace.”

ProMusica has won eight ASCAP awards for Adventurous Programming and has received additional honors, including from the Greater Columbus Arts Council and the Columbus Jewish Foundation. In 2015, 2016, and 2018, the orchestra was selected as a recipient of The Columbus Performing Arts Prize, an esteemed award designated to celebrate and support the exceptional artistic directors of Columbus’ performing arts organizations and their aspirations for creative growth. In April 2019, ProMusica was named one of the “5 Nonprofits to Watch” by The Columbus Foundation.

Deeply rooted in our city’s cultural fabric, our outreach programs impact approximately 17,000 lives each season. ProMusica musicians travel to local schools serving as teaching artists, senior citizens attend working rehearsals, and underserved youth are given life-changing opportunities through the power of music. Programs such as “Play Us Forward” offer integrated, in-school based music curriculum, while Storytime and family concerts at Columbus Metropolitan Library branches provide arts access in nurturing neighborhood environments. “Coda: Post-concert Conversations” offer the opportunity for a direct dialogue between audiences and guest artists — deepening engagement with the music and performers. Our free Summer Music Series demonstrates our unwavering commitment to offer accessible and transformative musical experiences to all residents in our community.

ProMusica’s performances are time-tested and modern, presented in ways that few orchestras can. Widely recognized as a national leader in promoting contemporary repertoire, we have commissioned 68 pieces and programmed over 120 world and regional premieres by composers including Pulitzer prize winners Kevin Puts and Aaron Jay Kernis, Joan Tower, Gabriela Montero, Michael Daugherty, Lera Auerbach, Gabriela Lena Frank, Mark O’Connor, Conrad Tao, and Joshua Roman. ProMusica has an active recording program with thirteen CDs released to date, including world premiere performances of our commissioned works. Our innovative NAKED CLASSICS series with renowned host and presenter Paul Rissmann, explores classical music in a fresh and completely approachable format. We are one of the few American chamber orchestras to have performed an entire Schubert Symphony Cycle (including Schubert scholar Brian Newbould’s finished versions of Unfinished and Symphony No. 10) and recently completed a two-year Beethoven Symphony Cycle. Similarly to many of our international guest artists, we embrace an array of eras and influences. The orchestra has forged unique 2 0 1 9 - 2 0 S E A S O N | promusicacolumbus.org

December Guest Artist

Colin Currie

In October 2017 Currie launched Colin Currie Records, in conjunction with LSO Live, as a platform for recording his diverse projects, celebrating the extraordinary developments for percussion music in recent times. The label’s first release was the Colin Currie Group’s debut recording, Steve Reich’s Drumming, which was hailed as “thunderously exciting” (The Times). In October 2018 Currie released the second disc in this catalogue, The Scene of The Crime, with Håkan Hardenberger, the third release following in April 2019 and once again, Colin Currie & Steve Reich Live at Foundation Louis Vuitton featuring the Colin Currie Group.

Colin Currie is a solo and chamber artist at the peak of his powers. Championing new music at the highest level, he is hailed as being “at the summit of percussion performance today” (Gramophone). Currie is the soloist of choice for many of today’s foremost composers and he performs regularly with the world’s leading orchestras and conductors.

A dynamic and adventurous soloist, Currie’s commitment to commissioning and creating new music was recognised in 2015 by the Royal Philharmonic Society who awarded him the Instrumentalist Award. From his earliest years Currie forged a pioneering path in creating new music for percussion, winning the Royal Philharmonic Society Young Artist Award in 2000 and receiving a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award in 2005. Currie has premiered works by composers such as Steve Reich, Elliott Carter, Louis Andriessen, HK Gruber, MarkAnthony Turnage, James MacMillan, Brett Dean, Sir Harrison Birtwistle, Einojuhani Rautavaara, Helen Grime, Jennifer Higdon, Kalevi Aho, Rolf Wallin, Kurt Schwertsik, Andrew Norman, Julia Wolfe and Nico Muhly. Looking ahead, in the coming season Currie will premiere new works by Bruno Mantovani, Luke Bedford and Andy Akiho.

Highlights of Currie’s 2019/20 season include the world premiere of Bruno Mantovani’s Percussion Concerto with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France and Mikko Franck in April 2020. Currie also premieres a new concerto by Luke Bedford with the Philharmonia Orchestra, and Andy Akiho’s new percussion concerto with the Oregon Symphony Orchestra. Currie performs the UK premiere of Sofia Gubaidulina’s Glorious Percussion at the Edinburgh

International Festival with BBC Scottish Symphony/ Dausgaard and percussionists from the Colin Currie Group. Another major season highlight is Currie’s conducting debut, conducting the Britten Sinfonia in the European premiere of Steve Reich’s Reich/Richter at the Barbican, London, in October 2019. Currie’s orchestral engagements also include appearances with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, MDR Leipzig, Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg, Swedish Chamber and Scottish Chamber Orchestras, Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz and Orquesta Filarmónica de Gran Canaria. Currie also collaborates with various chamber partners, including Nicolas Hodges, Antoine Tamestit, the JACK Quartet and his own Colin Currie Quartet, for performances at Vienna Konzerthaus, de Doelen, Wigmore Hall, LSO St Luke’s, Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, King’s Place and the Southbank Centre. Currie’s dynamic ensemble the Colin Currie Group was formed in 2006 to celebrate the music of Steve Reich and made its five-star debut at the BBC Proms. Since then, with Reich’s personal endorsement Currie and his ensemble have taken on the role of ambassadors of Drumming, which they have performed at many venues and festivals internationally. The Colin Currie Group return to the Southbank Centre in December 2019 for four sold-out performances of Drumming at the Hayward Gallery, where the work received its world premiere nearly 50 years ago. Currie is Artist in Association at London’s Southbank Centre, where he was the focus of a major percussion festival Metal Wood Skin in 2014 and continues to perform there every season. www.colincurrie.com

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

With the holidays around the corner, ProMusica felt it only fitting that we treat our audience to at least a bit of music composed for the season. And so, the strings of the orchestra offer up the Christmas Concerto of Corelli, always a seasonal favorite. Our program will open with an energetic overture to Armida by the little known classicalera composer, Tommaso Traetta. We will then drop you into the here and now with the Ohio premiere of one of the classical music’s newest concerti, the Percussion Concerto of Helen Grime, featuring a return engagement by our soloist, Colin Currie. We then close out the year with Mozart’s 40th, among his best-known symphonies and a work composed in the mere span of a few weeks. Happy holidays!

TOMMASO TRAETTA (1727-1779): OVERTURE TO ARMIDA

Instrumentation: pairs of oboes, horns and strings Composed: unknown Premiere: unknown Duration: 7 minutes

in 2005. The list also includes an all-but-forgotten Italian, Tommaso Traetta, certainly among the most peripatetic musicians of his day. Among the vanguard of 18th century opera composers, Traetta was born in the south of Italy. From there he headed north, first to Parma, where he served the court and absorbed the unshakable influence of French operatic tradition, and later to Naples, Rome, Vienna (where his opera Armida was premiered in 1761), Mannheim, St. Petersburg (where for seven years he was in the service of Catherine the Great), London, Paris (one year before Mozart’s arrival there), and finally back to Italy, where he died in Venice a celebrated composer who was buried with honors. Traetta’s Overture to Armida reveals the composer’s penchant for the dramatic. Comprised of three sections (Allegro-Andante-Allegro), the score opens with high energy, featuring driving strings punctuated by wind interjections. Listen for a range of surprises, including sudden shifts of harmony and extremes of dynamics amidst the unrelenting forward motion. A gentle, Frenchinspired Andante follows, whose moving violin writing reveals the composer’s ability to target human emotion. Traetta’s concluding Allegro is itself constructed in miniature A-B-A form. It opens with a hunt, evident in its triple meter and horn calls, while the contrasting B section, featuring violins alone, illustrates the composer’s command of contrapuntal technique. A return to the hunt concludes this short, charming work by a sadly neglected figure.

THE SCOOP: In Torquato Tasso’s 16th century epic poem Jerusalem Delivered, the enchantress Armida is sent by her father to murder the handsome Crusader Rinaldo, thus disrupting the knights’ Christian duty to wrest control of Jerusalem from the Muslims. Instead, Armida falls in love with the soldier. Their story has intrigued any number of artists and composers and the list of adaptations reads like an operatic who’s who: Monteverdi, Lully, Handel, Vivaldi, Gluck, Haydn, Rossini and Dvorak. More recently, add the British composer Judith Weir, whose Armida was produced

HELEN GRIME (B. 1981): PERCUSSION CONCERTO

Instrumentation: solo percussion (consisting of vibraphone, glockenspiel, marimba, crotales, cowbells, bass drum, tomtoms, congo drum, bongo drums, suspended cymbal, brake drums, woodblocks and metal pipe), pairs of flutes (second doubles on piccolo), oboes (second doubles on English horn), clarinets (second doubles on E-flat clarinet), bassoons (second doubles on contrabassoon), horns and trumpets, harp, celesta and strings Composed: 2018 Premiere: London, January 16, 2019 Duration: 23 minutes THE SCOOP: Scottish-born Helen Grime’s Percussion Concerto is but the most recent of a portfolio of work that already includes music for all major genres: orchestra, chorus, chamber music, solo piano, concerti and the stage. Though born in York, England, Grime’s family moved to Scotland while she was an infant and it was here where she came of age and began studying oboe and composition. She later returned to England to study at the Royal College of Music. It was also in England where much of her music has subsequently been performed, whether by the London Symphony, at the Proms, or by the Hallé Orchestra during the composer’s tenure as that orchestra’s associate composer. Rather than focus on rhythm per se, Grime’s concept for her concerto was to explore issues of pitch and rhythm separately. Thus, the concerto’s first movement, which is largely pitch-oriented, opens with the vibraphone and the cadenza (soloist alone) combines both glockenspiel (tuned metal plates arranged in the fashion of a keyboard) and crotales (small tuned antique cymbals made of brass or bronze), resulting in a bright, high-pitched atmosphere. The second movement of the concerto, by contrast, is focused largely on rhythm and features percussion instruments of indefinite pitch. The third movement sees the marimba take to the fore until a coda-like section toward the end looks back to the prior combination of glockenspiel and crotales. There is no obvious form or tonality to the overall work. Rather, matters shift and evolve, as Grime explores

a kaleidoscope of colors and textures between soloist and orchestra. The latter is itself afforded an impressive arsenal of instruments, allowing for maximum timbral and dynamic potential. Grime’s twenty-three-minute Percussion Concerto was co-commissioned by the Baltimore Symphony and the Swedish Chamber Orchestra, and premiered with tonight’s soloist, Colin Currie. As reported by Steve Lomas of the Classical Source, Grime “continued the upward trajectory of her position on the British music scene with her superb new Percussion Concerto.... The whole work is a model of clarity, timbral exquisiteness and rhythmic tautness.”

ARCANGELO CORELLI (1653-1713): CONCERTO GROSSO IN G MINOR, OP. 6 NO. 8 (“CHRISTMAS CONCERTO”) Instrumentation: string orchestra Composed: unknown Premiere: unknown Duration: 13 minutes

THE SCOOP: When we think of the violin, Italy should spring to mind. It was here, after all, where the violin family was born and then experienced its zenith with makers such as Stradivari. It is no coincidence that here too were to be found the foremost performers on and composers for the instrument. At the turn of the 17th century, then, Italy was the ideal laboratory for the violin and no violinistcomposer from this period ranks higher in importance than Arcangelo Corelli. Born in the diocese of Ferrara, Corelli eventually moved to Bologna, where he appears to have been accepted into the Accademia Filarmonica by the age of 19, a very young age for so esteemed a performing society. Eventually Corelli settled in Rome, where he worked with a number of ensembles and slowly gained a reputation that would eventually attract the attention of popes and dukes. Ultimately, however, it was Corelli’s contributions as a teacher of the next generation of violinist-composers and his own music that established the Italian as “the iconic point of reference” to all later violinists. Corelli’s compositional oeuvre can be broken down into a neat set of six opus numbers, each containing twelve

separate works and each employing the violin in a solo capacity. The first five are sonatas of various types, while the Opus 6 are Concerti Grossi, an early Baroque form that Corelli almost single-handedly developed—he was also the first composer to actually use the term—and which in turn gave way to the classical concerto. As is typical of the composer’s concerti, the Christmas Concerto juxtaposes a concertino group (in this case two violins and cello) with the larger body of strings known as the ripieno. As is also typical, the concerto demonstrates Corelli’s inventiveness as a composer whose harmonic designs created a sense of inevitability of direction. Whether involving scaler melodies, string crossing patterns or Corelli’s trademark “suspensions”—two notes that grate against one another until one resolves into yet another clash, and then another, until the pattern comes to rest—Corelli’s music always pushes forward in exciting and moving ways. As opposed to the four movements common among Corelli’s “church” concerti, the Christmas Concerto is comprised of six movements. The first opens with a few festive introductory Vivace bars before moving on to a more sustained Grave. The Allegro features our two groups, as the two solo violins and solo cello are answered in quick succession by the larger ripieno group. The third movement is itself a tripartite form, Adagio-Allegro-Adagio, the glorious slower sections featuring the chains of suspensions mentioned earlier. Two fast movements follow (the first in 3/4 time, the latter in 4/4) and then the concerto concludes with a gentle pastoral, marked Largo, arguably the most famous movement to come from Corelli’s pen. While there is nothing religious about the concerto per se, the undated score bears the inscription Fatto per la notte di Natale, “made for the night of Christmas.”

WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART (1756-1791): SYMPHONY NO. 40 IN G MINOR, K. 550 Instrumentation: flute, pairs of oboes, clarinets, bassoons and horns, timpani and strings Composed: July, 1788 Premiere: unknown Duration: 35 minutes THE SCOOP: While there is some mystery surrounding the genesis of Mozart’s 40th Symphony, one thing is for certain: it was

finished by 25 July, 1788, the date the composer entered the work into his catalog of compositions. The G minor Symphony (sometimes referred to as the “Great G minor Symphony” to differentiate from the earlier symphony in the same key performed earlier this season) followed on the heels of No. 39, completed the previous month and was in turn followed 16 days later by the completion of No. 41, what would prove Mozart’s final symphonic offering. Given the sophisticated nature of these scores, this was a remarkable stretch by any standards and shows Mozart at the height of his creative powers. Yet these symphonies were far from his only concerns, musical or otherwise, during this phase of the composer’s life. That July he also completed a violin sonata, a piano sonata, and a piano trio. And the previous month, besides composing another piano trio, Mozart changed addresses and sadly experienced the loss of his fourth child. We might wonder where he found the energy, much less the concentration required for such work? Why these three symphonies at this stage? In all likelihood, Mozart had plans for them to be performed at Vienna concerts, although there is no record of these specific works being played on any concerts during this time, with a single exception: a letter survives telling about a private performance of the G minor Symphony at the home of Baron Gottfried van Swieten, one of Beethoven’s patrons as well. Unfortunately, it appears that the symphony was so poorly executed that Mozart left the room! Whether or not he ever heard it performed as he envisioned it remains a question but the fact that he subsequently incorporated clarinets and adjusted the wind parts accordingly— the version performed tonight—suggests that another performance of the work was pending. Two factors heard at the outset of the opening Allegro should grab our attention: first, the work opens not with a melody but with an accompaniment (listen for the active viola writing in the first bars). This concept—setting up the entrance with a measure or two of accompaniment—was to become a standard feature of the romantic era, as evident in Schubert songs, for example, but was as of yet a very uncommon opening gambit in a symphony. Second is the nature of Mozart’s melody when introduced by the fiddles. Rather than a flowing melody, note the repeated three-note motive with which he builds this theme and how it’s developed throughout the course of the movement

2 0 1 9 - 2 0 S E A S O N | promusicacolumbus.org

(the building of a theme from shorter fragments would prove a technique often employed by Beethoven and in fact the latter composer came to Vienna the previous year to study with Mozart but had to return home to attend to his mother’s health; by the time he returned five years later, Mozart was dead). The lyrical major-mode Andante, with its patches of musical humor, provides welcomed respite from the brooding nature of the opening Allegro. The Minuet again plunges us back into the darker world of G minor, its angry opening theme very far removed from the aristocratic dance-type that Mozart had so often incorporated into his symphonies. The middle “trio” section again offers major-key balance and features colorful wind writing. The opening theme of the spirited Allegro assai plays off the major and minor modes so quickly as to slip by almost unnoticed. This finale is cast in a sophisticated sonata form and as such the glorious second theme, introduced first by the violins and restated in slightly

altered phrases by the winds, is a long time in coming. This fact alone gives us an idea of the breadth of this last movement, one of the composer’s last pure symphonic creations and one of his most musically challenging (you will soon hear grating dissonances not often associated with Mozart’s “classical” style). Yet as with much of the composer's late works, in the final analysis it also remains one of his most satisfying scores.

She performs with many leading conductors – including Vladimir Ashkenazy (with whom she and the Philharmonia Orchestra recorded the Sibelius, Glazunov and Tchaikovsky concertos for Deutsche Grammophon), Gustavo Dudamel, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Thierry Fischer, Vasily Petrenko, Karina Canellakis and Andrew Davis – and orchestras such as the Philharmonia, Los Angeles Philharmonic, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Seoul Philharmonic, Deutsche Radio Philharmonie or the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic. She has also performed at a range of prominent festivals including the BBC Proms and Aspen Music Festival.

Esther has appeared in recital at Lincoln Center and Wigmore Hall, and in 2018 she featured prominently on the soundtrack and accompanying Decca disc of the feature film, On Chesil Beach. The piano trio, Z.E.N., (which she co-founded together with fellow former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists Zhang Zuo and Narek Hakhnazaryan), tours widely in North America, Europe and Asia. They chose works by Brahms and Dvorak for their first recording and are currently preparing their second recording which, like the first, will be released on DG. Esther may be unique among classical soloists in being fully tri-cultural. She was born and spent her earliest years in the U.S., before receiving her education in Belgium and Germany, but she always retained her family’s proud Korean heritage. Having authentic roots in three continents may have contributed to her versatility and exceptionally broad range of expression and was unquestionably a factor in making her one of the most articulate and gifted communicators in the field of classical music.

She began playing the violin at 4 and made her concerto debut aged 8. At 16 she became the youngest prizewinner of the International Sibelius Violin Competition and two years later she was one of the youngest ever prizewinners of the Queen Elisabeth Competition in 2012. In 2014 she became a BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist and in 2018 Classic FM featured her in their Top 30 Artists under 30.

About the Music January

of South American folk, remains completely accessible, despite its unique nature. As its title suggests, this lazy and liquid work takes on a dreamlike hue, perfectly capturing the essence of the poetry which inspired the score:

The Jon Mac Anderson Program Notes underwritten by Porter, Wright, Morris and Arthur, LLP

ProMusica opens the New Year with the music of Golijov, ZZ’s Dream, a brief and almost nostalgic score. Tchaikovsky’s fiery Violin Concerto, with soloist Esther Yoo in the spotlight, will snap you right out of any dreaming and take you headlong into the romanticism of 19th century Russia and the pyrotechnic world of violin virtuosity. After introducing you to our music director’s father with the Elegie of Wolfgang Danzmayr, we’ll cap off the evening with Haydn’s Symphony No. 75, which took London by storm.

OSVALDO GOLIJOV (B. 1960): ZZ’S DREAM

Instrumentation: flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, trumpet, trombone, vibraphone, harp, celeste and strings Composed: 2008 Premiered: Boston, 2008 Duration: 7 minutes THE SCOOP: The path of composer and teacher Osvaldo Golijov has been a circuitous one. Born in Argentina to a physician father and pianist mother, Golijov and his family emigrated to Romania; subsequently Osvaldo moved, first to Israel and shortly thereafter to America, where he worked with George Crumb, among this country’s most experimental and important composers. Since 1991 Golijov has been a resident of Massachusetts. As Golijov’s reputation grew, so did the call for commissions and today the composer has established a reputation for both inventive and highly accessible scores. He has always borrowed from other composers, leading in one case to an accusation of plagiarism. Even so, Golijov remains in great demand, both as a film composer and for his vocal and orchestral music. His four-minute ZZ’s Dream offers a sublime example of his appeal: the score, which suggests something of the language of Chopin with a dash

Once upon a time, I, Zhuang Zhou, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Zhou. Soon I awoke, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.

PIOTR ILYCH TCHAIKOVSKY (1840-1893): CONCERTO FOR VIOLIN AND ORCHESTRA IN D MAJOR, OP. 35 Instrumentation: solo violin, pairs of flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons and trumpets, four horns, timpani and strings Composed: Switzerland, 1878 Premiered: Vienna, 1881 Duration: 33 minutes

THE SCOOP: The ease by which Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto initially took shape belied what would ultimately prove to be a frustrating and somewhat tortuous history. The original work was dispatched in only a month’s time, while the composer was taking a cure on the shores of Lake Geneva, Switzerland. Initially spirits were high. Tchaikovsky worked with his composition pupil, a violinist named Itself Kotek, who coached his teacher with respect to the technical intricacies of the violin writing, and who initially appeared fully committed to the project. At this early stage Tchaikovsky planned to dedicate the work to Kotek, with whom he was most certainly romantically involved. However, Kotek evidently developed cold feet with respect to the score and Tchaikovsky, who took great pains to hide his homosexuality, ultimately decided that furthering their connection in print would only fuel gossip. Tchaikovsky’s concerto needed another violinist. Enter Leopold Auer, the famed Hungarian violinist and teacher. Evidently Tchaikovsky not only hoped Auer would deliver the work’s premiere but went so far as to have the

2 0 1 9 - 2 0 S E A S O N | promusicacolumbus.org

score published with a dedication to the violinist even before consulting him. Auer, however, was reluctant to commit to playing the premiere, which again had to be tabled. To his credit, Auer did set about making significant revisions to the violin part, all with the intent of making the writing better suited to the instrument; even so, his choice not to premiere the work hurt Tchaikovsky deeply. It was a decision Auer came to regret. Tchaikovsky did grant him absolution prior to his premature death (did he drink cholera-tainted water intentionally or by accident?). Ultimately, Tchaikovsky tapped the Russian virtuoso Adolph Brodsky, who finally premiered the work in 1881, three years after its completion. Tchaikovsky adhered to the by-now traditional three movement plan. The concerto opens with a sonata-form Allegro, complete with a full-fledged orchestral introduction and incorporating a dazzling cadenza toward its close. This is followed by a lovingly crafted Andante, which Tchaikovsky entitled “Canzonetta”, or little song, and which was actually the composer’s second attempt at a slow movement, having found his original attempt less than adequate. Tchaikovsky launches into the third movement without pause, creating an air of tremendous thrust (the movement has been equated with an SST taking off from the tarmac). The finale is without doubt one of the great Russian juggernauts, its coda guaranteed to leave both the soloist and audience breathless. The great music critic Eduard Hanslick, a staunch advocate of Brahms, was on hand at the premiere and found Tchaikovsky’s score "odorously Russian” and was of the opinion that "the violin was…beaten black and blue.” Of course, the effect of the concerto is about as far from Brahms’ own as is possible, but time has had the final say with respect to Tchaikovsky’s score. The work has been embraced by every major soloist and has become an audience favorite. A tour de force, the concerto contains some of the composer’s most memorable melodies and while making tremendous demands on the soloist, creates an undeniable air of electricity and triumph.

FROM THE COMPOSER WOLFGANG DANZMAYR (B. 1947): ELEGIE

Instrumentation: flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, two horns, trumpet and strings Composed: 1970 as a piano piece, orchestrated in 2018 Premiere: January 2020 Duration: approximately 9 minutes THE SCOOP: Wolfgang Danzmayr's “Elegie” was one of his first compositions, originally written in 1970. With this pianopiece Danzmayr wanted to prove his abilities of his studies in composition with Alfred Uhl at the Viennese Academy of Music. Variations in different styles of music were the result. In 2018 he decided to create an orchestral version of this composition, which his son David liked to play on the piano, when he still was a child.

FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN (1732-1809): SYMPHONY NO. 75 IN D MAJOR, HOB I:75

Instrumentation: flute, two oboes, bassoon, two trumpets, two horns, timpani and strings Composed: 1779-1781 Premiere: unknown Duration: 20 minutes Franz Joseph Haydn spent the bulk of his musical career in the service of the Hungarian Esterházy family and much of that at their family estate, a palace built in swampland that incorporated a former hunting lodge. Haydn worked here from 1766-1790, tirelessly composing works for every conceivable event or need: operas (he also rehearsed and conducted operas by other composers), symphonies, religious works and even chamber pieces for his musical employer Prince Nikolaus Esterházy to play. When Nikolaus died, his son Anton inherited the palace but with neither his father’s interest in music nor the desire to remain so isolated, he freed Haydn up to travel. Although the nowfamous Haydn was required to maintain his connection to the family, Haydn was finally in charge of his own destiny. In 1791 the 58-year-old composer crossed the English Channel—seeing the ocean for the first time—and made his way to London.

This first visit (he would return again several years later), which lasted about a year, proved fantastically successful. The English embraced Haydn as one of their own. His music, already enormously popular prior to his arrival, experienced continued success as the public clamored to hear his latest symphonic offerings. Among those works presented was the Symphony No. 75, a work typically joyous and witty, yet which, according to Haydn’s diary experienced a rather macabre connection: “On 26 March at Mr Barthelemon’s concert, an English clergyman was present who fell into the most profound melancholy on hearing the Andante (or ‘Poco adagio’, as it was more usually marked) … because he had dreamt the previous night that this piece was a premonition of his death. He left the company at once and took to his bed. Today, 25 April, I heard from Herr Barthelemon that this Protestant clergyman had died.” The D major Symphony opens with a Grave introduction, feigning a dark and gloomy atmosphere but this is immediately dispelled at the start of the spirited and often laughing Presto, precisely those qualities that drew the English to “Papa” Haydn’s scores. At the movement’s center we catch a glimpse of Haydn’s command of developmental procedures as he breaks down his theme’s small motives, a technique the older man certainly passed on to Beethoven. Listen also to his treatment of counterpoint, the note-againstnote style reminiscent of the late J.S. Bach. The Adagio is cast as a set of variations, another of Haydn’s favorite forms, and based on a hymn-like theme, another of the master’s beloved specialties. The aristocratic dances of the minuet are followed by a spirited Vivace rondo, typical of Haydn’s symphonic finales. Keep an ear out for how Haydn toys with his material toward the movement’s close, including those Haydnesque unexpected silences, and you’ll understand why the Londoners hung on his every bar.

I am an orchestra conductor. My work begins far before anybody sees me on stage. I have learned that I need to dig deep into a piece to discover real meaning— it is like digging with your hands in the mud to find a little piece of gold. What inspires me most about Columbus is that the people of Columbus really try to make this city the best it can be. Because of this spirit there is a real buzz now in Columbus surrounding the arts. How cool is that? I’m David Danzmayr, music is my art and there’s no place I’d rather make it. Learn more about David’s story and other Columbus artists and events at ColumbusMakesArt.com.
