WELCO M E

Welcome back to Boettcher Concert Hall!

It will have been eighteen long months since we’ve been able to bring you a full season of live music in Boettcher Concert Hall. While it feels like ages, we’re grateful for your unwavering support along every step of this journey. As we continue to navigate the daily challenges brought on by this once-in-a-century event, your Colorado Symphony remains committed to rebuilding a safe environment for live concerts once more, while bringing the best in live symphonic music you’ve come to expect and cherish.

Though our operations have been limited, we’ve by no means let the music stop. Over the last year and a half, we’ve brought you nearly 50 virtual mini and full-length concerts, virtual community events, and in-person concerts across the state in adherence to state and local health guidelines. We recently finished an ambitious summer concert season that saw your Colorado Symphony performing over 20 times at venues throughout the state including at Red Rocks Park & Amphitheater, Arvada Center Outdoor Amphitheatre, the Dillon Amphitheater, and the Denver Performing Arts Complex Galleria.

While you study these next few pages, we want to express gratitude for your investment in us. Without your support through donations, virtual ticket purchases, and sharing of our story, we would not be in the position to bring you a 2021/22 Season. On behalf of the musicians, leadership team, Board of Trustees, and administrative staff, we thank you and hope you are as thrilled as we are to experience the majesty of live music once more. Welcome back.

Sincerely, Your Colorado Symphony

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHAT IF I AM LATE? For the comfort and enjoyment of our musicians and patrons, late seating is at the discretion of the House Manager and takes place during pauses in the program. Ushers will let you know when you may enter the hall.

They may seat you in an area other than your ticketed seat so as to not disturb other patrons, and you may take your ticketed seat during intermission.

WHEN SHOULD I CLAP? During most Classics performances, there is a short, silent pause between each movement of a piece. You can determine how many movements there are in a piece, and how many silent pauses there will be, by looking at your program — the movements in each piece will be listed there. Applause are usually reserved for the end of the final movement of the piece, after the conductor has signaled the end of the final note with his or her baton or hand. Holding applause between movements is considered respectful of the performers' concentration and mindful of musical continuity.

WHAT IS YOUR CELL PHONE/PHOTO/ VIDEO POLICY? We ask that you please silence your cell phones and refrain from talking or texting on them during performances. Flash photography is prohibited at all times. We ask that you please refrain from taking any photos or video during Classics or Movie at the Symphony concerts unless the conductor is off the podium. During Symphony Pops concerts you may take pictures without a flash and may record short cell phone videos.

Please be courteous to your fellow concertgoers and be aware that if at any time your cell phone/camera use becomes a distraction to others, an usher may ask you to stop.

CAN I BRING FOOD OR DRINKS INTO THE CONCERT? No food or drinks permitted in the Concert Hall.

All food and beverages must be consumed in designated spaces/the lobby.

CAN I BRING THE KIDS? Kids of all ages will enjoy our Family, education concerts, and many of our Symphony Pops, Holiday, and Summer concerts. All children require a ticket regardless of age, and child tickets are $10. Classics concerts tend to be between 2 and 21/2 hours long. Please consider this when deciding whether or not to bring your child. If your child is disturbing other patrons, an usher may ask you to take your child into the lobby for the remainder of the performance, without refund.

HOW LONG IS A TYPICAL CONCERT? Program length varies, but a typical performance lasts about two hours, including one 20 minute intermission. Visit the event page on our website, or flip to the performance details in this Soundings Magazine.

WHAT IF I’M UNABLE TO ATTEND MY PERFORMANCE? Subscribers may exchange tickets free of charge — one of many subscriber benefits!

Non-subscribers may exchange for an additional fee. You may exchange tickets in person, by phone, or online for another performance within the same season. There is an additional cost if seating upgrades apply, and all exchange requests are subject to availability. You may also donate your tickets back to the Colorado Symphony and receive a donation receipt.

HOW CAN I FIND OUT IF A CONCERT IS CANCELED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER? We rarely cancel a concert due to inclement weather, but when this occurs we will send a direct email notification to all ticket holders.

Updates, cancellations, or changes will be posted on coloradosymphony.org and on the event page for the concert.

For more FAQ’s see the Plan Your Visit section of coloradosymphony.org

STORIES OF NOTE

THE MUSIC NEVER STOPPED How innovation, determination, and the power of music drove the Colorado Symphony’s pandemic success story

By Nick Dobreff

A

dversity is as revealing as it is inevitable. While unpredictable, overwhelming, disruptive, and chaotic, it nonetheless has the power to illuminate a wellspring of resolve previously obscured or unknown to us altogether. The entire world has spent much of the last year and a half grappling with the effects of the COVID-19 health pandemic, causing disruption on a previously unimaginable scale; isolating people from their families, friends, and loved ones; and irrevocably altering the lives of countless millions.

Against a seemingly endless series of obstacles, the Colorado Symphony Association (CSA) refused to go dark, fold, or cease music making even as the pandemic surged around it. From the very beginning, the CSA pledged to bring desperately needed entertainment, comfort, and distraction in the form of virtual and live symphonic music as a salve for the seemingly endless deluge of uncertainty and emotional distress being endured by society. While being cognizant of those in greatest need, the CSA played on, taking a leading role in the community by raising funds for other organizations in need, bringing awareness to the realities facing performing arts and live music organizations, and pioneering methods for safe, in-person performances when deemed safe to do so by state and local health officials.

So where were we back in March 2020?

With an incredible concert lineup that included the likes of Kristin Chenoweth and Cynthia Erivo, the dulcet tones of the Colorado Symphony were once again bringing joy to countless Coloradans as the orchestra continued to be seen and heard by a growing and more diverse audience than ever before.

The 2019/20 season was on track to expand the orchestra’s presence to projected record-breaking numbers, as 276,466 patrons enjoyed live symphonic music in Boettcher Concert Hall and across the state from July 2019 through March 2020.

Everything was on track for one of the most memorable and successful Colorado Symphony seasons in recent memory, including the fifth straight fiscal year with a healthy operations reserve. On February 28, the 2020/21 Season schedule was released and the future for live symphonic music in Colorado had never looked brighter.

C O L O R A D O SY M P H O N Y.O R G

But on March 13 everything changed.

As the orchestra prepared for two sold-out For the Colorado Boettcher Concert Hall performances of The Music of Queen, news began to break that Symphony, there was COVID-19 had reached a level of international concern, so much so that it forced an only one answer: unprecedented national stay-at-home order.

Despite limited information and a rapidly changing situation, the CSA made the difficult, but ultimately correct decision to postpone The Music of Queen on March 13 and 14 as well as all concerts through April 12. On March 17, the postponement timeframe was extended to May 11, and a few days after that, the Colorado Symphony was forced to cancel their largest fundraiser of the year, the Colorado Symphony Ball. A few weeks later, the organization announced the postponement of all remaining 2019/20 Season performances through May 31.

Play On!

Just like that, the season was over. Boettcher Concert Hall lay silent. And many were left to wonder what would come next.

Live performances are the lifeblood of any orchestra, so what was an ensemble to do when faced with the difficult prospect of not being able to gather, practice together, or perform live with an audience for the foreseeable future?

For the Colorado Symphony, there was only one answer: Play On! Through rapid ingenuity and innovation, the organization pivoted into the virtual realm, broadcasting desperately needed content into the homes of Coloradans and people around the world. It started with the #PlayOn campaign — a series of over 70 online videos created between March 13 and August 31, 2020.

Colorado Symphony musicians, like everyone else across the state, were largely isolated in their homes and during that time they created a staggering amount of creative content, providing needed comfort and diversion during a time of incredible uncertainty and fear for people everywhere.

One of the earliest video creations was a digital performance of Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy”, which debuted on March 23, less than two weeks after the nationwide shutdown. The video featured 49 Colorado Symphony musicians, each with a separately recorded part, which was combined in post-production for a virtual performance that captured the sound and essence of a full symphony orchestra.

The video was an instant viral sensation, generating nearly 600,000 views on YouTube alone and millions more through national media exposure in features on NBC’s Today C O L O R A D O SY M P H O N Y.O R G

15

STORIES OF NOTE Show, ABC’s Nightline, and CNN’s virtual Independence Day broadcast, along with online print acknowledgments by The Washington Post, Boston Globe, USA Today, National Geographic, among many others.

In addition to the individual #PlayOn videos, the Colorado Symphony created the 20-episode Virtual Music Hour series, seven free streaming concerts titled “From Our Home To Yours” featuring Colorado Symphony musicians performing from their own homes, and the MusiCurious Instrument Interview Series — a collection of seven educational videos which explored the wonders of the orchestra through video demonstrations featuring Colorado Symphony musicians and their instruments.

In all, the Colorado Symphony accumulated over 1.5 million views and listens of organic content through its website and social media channels with millions more seeing content through NBC, ABC, CNN, and local news stations as the organization provided open content sharing for broadcasts and third-party websites throughout the pandemic.

Perhaps the most moving moment of the summer came on July 3 and 4, at a time on the calendar when communities nationwide annually look to their professional orchestras. For nearly a century, Colorado has called upon the Colorado Symphony to be an integral part of their Independence Day festivities, including the last decade as part of the Independence Eve celebration in Civic Center Park where the Colorado Symphony has regularly performed for crowds of over 100,000.

COVID-19 forced the cancellation of the in-person event in 2020, but the Colorado Symphony was not deterred, spearheading a collaborative initiative with a group of local artists, arts organizations, and local charities to create an arts focused

performance connecting Colorado and national communities, while providing music to a separated, frustrated, and grieving community.

A handful of small socially distanced ensembles gathered to record performances in recognizable areas around Denver including Civic Center Park, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the Colorado State Capital Building Rotunda, Denver Performing Arts Complex Galleria, and Boettcher Concert Hall, creating an event that was uniquely Colorado.

The performances featured Colorado Symphony ensembles alongside collaborative cultural partners including Colorado Ballet, Opera Colorado, and Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Ensemble, with special guest speakers Governor Jared Polis and Mayor Michael Hancock. The Colorado Symphony was also joined by renowned vocalists Rajdulari, Kira Dills-Desurra, and Michelle DeYoung for performances of Lift Every Voice and Sing, the Star-Spangled Banner, and God Bless America respectively. Anchors Anne Trujillo and Shannon Ogden emceed the event which aired live on KMGH Denver7 on July 3 and was replayed on the Colorado Symphony’s YouTube channel on July 3 and 4.

The virtual event was designed specifically to help those most impacted by the pandemic. All proceeds from the virtual event went to support the Center for African American Health, The Center on Colfax, Civic Center Conservancy, Food Bank of the Rockies, Food For Thought Denver, and Rose Andom Center through event partner Community First Foundation. In all, $19,715 was raised and donated to these organizations.

In July 2020, COVID-19 restrictions from the City of Denver loosened to the point where limited capacity outdoor events could take place, which led to a pair of July collaborations with the Botanic Gardens for their Evenings al Fresco series.

At the end of July, the Colorado Symphony became the first ensemble to perform in Red Rocks Amphitheatre since the start of the pandemic with the debut of “Acoustic on the Rocks” — a series of 18 performances featuring ensembles of 20 Colorado Symphony musicians conducted by Resident Conductor Christopher Dragon in front of limited and socially distanced crowds. Each of the performances could accommodate 175 patrons spread throughout the seating bowl and each sold out within a matter of hours. These once-in-a-lifetime, live acoustic performances at Colorado’s most iconic outdoor venue brought live music back to Red Rocks, providing a small sense of normalcy to an otherwise turbulent summer. By the end of C O L O R A D O SY M P H O N Y.O R G

17

STORIES OF NOTE summer, the Colorado Symphony had set a record as the musical outfit with the most Red Rock shows in any single season, a fitting demonstration of the organization’s commitment to the community.

The Colorado Symphony also held three cello quartet performances in the Denver Performing Arts Complex Galleria, again with socially distanced crowds. In total, the Colorado Symphony was central to 25 in-person performances from July through October 1, 2020, placing the organization at the forefront of an effort to bring live performing arts back to Denver.

The holidays felt and sounded a bit different around Colorado in 2020, as colder temperatures prevented the organization from hosting outdoor performances. The CSA was also unable to host their annual collection of holiday programming including audience favorites Holiday Brass and A Night in Vienna. However, the Colorado Symphony would not be deterred, determined to bring comfort, joy, and Christmas spirit to families and concertgoers across the state. With guidance from UCHealth and without the presence of audiences, Colorado Symphony musicians gathered in Boettcher Concert Hall for the first time since March, using socially distanced orchestra seating and wearing masks. Joined by Colorado native Devin DeSantis, the orchestra recorded a virtual Colorado Christmas performance which debuted on the CSA’s virtual content platform, Virtual Stage, on December 18, 2020.

The CSA partnered with UCHealth again, along with the virtual reality company Rendever, to bring Colorado cancer patients a special virtual concert presentation of their September 2020 performances of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons at Red Rocks.

Rendever utilized virtual reality cameras and recording equipment positioned directly within the orchestra, creating a captivating virtual concert experience that put patients inside the orchestra with the use of virtual reality headsets.

The Colorado Symphony Education Department was also hard at work, developing a groundbreaking virtual program that could be utilized by teachers in their virtual classrooms. Taking inspiration from the anthem of hope from which it derives its name, the CSA developed their 2020/21 education curriculum around the theme of “Lift Every Voice”, delivering a message of unity, social justice, and creative selfexpression through an inclusive virtual concert experience featuring uplifting repertoire from a diverse array of composers and artistic performers.

The youth concert’s musical soundtrack featured compositions from legendary figures like Mozart and Beethoven as well as performances from composers like José Pablo Moncayo, Ernesto Lecuona, Florence B. Price, Duke Ellington and modern works by Anna Clyne and Omar Thomas. In addition, collaborations with Cleo Parker Robinson Dance, Fiesta Colorado Dance Company, spoken-word poet Franke Le’Troy, and visual artist Javier Flores elevated the youth concert experience in creative and profound ways. The program debuted in February 2021.

Between May and September 2021, the Colorado Symphony once again led the way by holding 22 outdoor performances across the state including at Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre, Arvada Center Outdoor Amphitheatre, Dillon Amphitheater, and in the Denver Performing Arts Complex Galleria. Their performance of The Music of John Williams at Red Rocks on May 23 was the first Red Rocks performance with full audience since the beginning of the pandemic. And on July 18, the CSA held their 2021/22 Season Preview concert in Boettcher Concert Hall in front of a capacity crowd, the first performance in the hall with audiences since March of 2020.

Which brings us all the way back to today. As the Colorado Symphony begins its first concert season in 18 months, you’ll notice some things may look a bit different. Additional health and safety protocols have been implemented within Boettcher Concert Hall for the safety of our patrons and musicians. You’ll also notice our new branding logo throughout our printed materials. We took great care in considering all elements of our past to carry us into our dynamic and exciting future. With this new mark we truly become Colorado’s Symphony.

This special moment in time presents a once-in-a-century opportunity, for a jubilant revival of live concerts and a reaffirmation of our standing as an inventive and forward-thinking orchestra. As the Colorado Symphony and music lovers around the state look back, they can be proud of obstacles overcome and successes enjoyed over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Now, as the organization embarks on an exciting new season replete with incredible performances, educational programming, and exhilarating collaborations, the future for symphonic music in Colorado has never looked brighter. Welcome home!

CLASSICS BIOGRAPHY PETER OUNDJIAN, conductor Recognized as a masterful and dynamic presence in the conducting world, Peter Oundjian has developed a multi-faceted portfolio as a conductor, violinist, professor and artistic advisor. He has been celebrated for his musicality, an eye towards collaboration, innovative programming, leadership and training with students and an engaging personality.

Now carrying the title of Conductor Emeritus, Oundjian’s fourteenyear tenure as Music Director of the Toronto Symphony served as a major creative force for the city of Toronto and was marked by a reimagining of the TSO’s programming, international stature, audience development, touring and a number of outstanding recordings, garnering a Grammy nomination in 2018 and a Juno award for Vaughan Williams’ Orchestral Works in 2019. He led the orchestra on several international tours to Europe and the USA, conducting the first performance by a North American orchestra at Reykjavik’s Harpa Hall in 2014.

From 2012-2018, Oundjian served as Music Director of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra during which time he implemented the kind of collaborative programming that has become a staple of his directorship. Oundjian led the RSNO on several international tours, including North America, China, and a European festival tour with performances at the Bregenz Festival, the Dresden Festival as well as in Innsbruck, Bergamo, Ljubljana, and others. His final appearance with the orchestra as their Music Director was at the 2018 BBC Proms where he conducted Britten’s epic War Requiem.

Highlights of past seasons include appearances with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, the Detroit, Atlanta, Saint Louis, Baltimore, Indianapolis, Milwaukee and New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. With the onset of world-wide concert cancellations support for students at Yale and Juilliard and the creation of a virtual summer festival in Boulder where he is Music Director of Colorado Music Festival became a priority. Winter 2021 saw the resumption of some orchestral activity with streamed events with Atlanta, Colorado, Indianapolis and Dallas symphonies.

The 2021/22 season anticipates return visits to Toronto, Kansas City, Seattle, Colorado, Detroit, Baltimore and Indianapolis.

Oundjian has been a visiting professor at Yale University’s School of Music since 1981, and in 2013 was awarded the school’s Sanford Medal for Distinguished Service to Music. A dedicated educator, Oundjian conducted the Yale and Juilliard Symphony Orchestras and the New World Symphony during the 2018/19 season.

An outstanding violinist, Oundjian spent fourteen years as the first violinist for the renowned Tokyo String Quartet before he turned his energy towards conducting.

CLASSICS BIOGRAPHY EMANUEL AX, piano Born in modern day Lvov, Poland, Emanuel Ax moved to Winnipeg, Canada, with his family when he was a young boy. Mr. Ax made his New York debut in the Young Concert Artists Series, and in 1974 won the first Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Competition in Tel Aviv. In 1975 he won the Michaels Award of Young Concert Artists, followed four years later by the Avery Fisher Prize.

Highlights of the 2019/20 season included a European summer festivals tour with the Vienna Philharmonic and long-time collaborative partner Bernard Haitink, an Asian tour with the London Symphony and Sir Simon Rattle and three concerts with regular partners Leonidas Kavakos and Yo-Yo Ma at Carnegie Hall in March 2020.

Additional recitals and orchestral appearances last spring were postponed due to Covid-19 and like many artists around the world, Mr. Ax responded to these unprecedented circumstances creatively. He hosted “The Legacy of Great Pianists,” part of the online Live with Carnegie Hall highlighting legendary pianists who have performed at Carnegie Hall. Last September, he joined cellist Yo-Yo Ma in a series of surprise pop-up concerts for essential workers in multiple venues throughout the Berkshires community. With the resumption of concert activity this summer he will appear in the reopening weekend of Tanglewood both with the Boston Symphony and in a Beethoven trio program with partners Leonidas Kavakos and Yo-Yo Ma. Concerts with the Colorado, Pacific, Cincinnati and Houston symphonies as well as Minnesota, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia and Cleveland orchestras follow throughout the 21/22 season.

Mr. Ax has been a Sony Classical exclusive recording artist since 1987, his most recent being Brahms Trios with Yo-Yo Ma and Leonidas Kavakos. He has received GRAMMY® Awards for the second and third volumes of his cycle of Haydn’s piano sonatas. He has also made a series of Grammy-winning recordings with cellist Yo-Yo Ma of the Beethoven and Brahms sonatas for cello and piano. In the 2004/05 season Mr. Ax contributed to an International EMMY® AwardWinning BBC documentary commemorating the Holocaust that aired on the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. In 2013, Mr. Ax’s recording Variations received the Echo Klassik Award for Solo Recording of the Year (19th Century Music/Piano).

Mr. Ax is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and holds honorary doctorates of music from Skidmore College, New England Conservatory of Music, Yale University, and Columbia University.

PROGRAM III

CLASSICS PROGRAM NOTES SAMUEL BARBER (1910-1981): Adagio for Strings Samuel Barber was on born March 9, 1910 in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and died on January 23, 1981 in New York City. He composed Adagio for Strings in 1936 as the second movement of his String Quartet No. 1, Op. 11; he arranged it for string orchestra the following year. The Pro Arte Quartet premiered the complete Quartet in Rome in December 1936. Arturo Toscanini conducted the strings of the NBC Symphony in the first performance of the orchestral version of the Adagio on his network broadcast of November 5, 1938, a concert that also included the premiere of Barber’s Essay No. 1 for Orchestra. The score calls for strings. Duration is about 8 minutes. Courtney Lewis conducted the orchestra's last performance in November, 2016.

Samuel Barber was among those many talented American musicians who lived, studied and worked in Europe during the 1920s and 1930s, not only polishing their professional skills but also proving to the world that their country had come of artistic age. Barber spent much time overseas after 1928, thanks to such emoluments as the American Prix de Rome and the Pulitzer Traveling Scholarship. In Rome, he wrote a Symphony in One Movement, which was premiered there in 1936 and given its first American performance in Cleveland by Artur Rodzinski early the next year. Rodzinski also played the Symphony at the Salzburg Festival in 1937, making it the first American work to be heard at that prestigious event. The chief conductor of the Salzburg Festival at that time was Arturo Toscanini, who was to begin his tenure with the NBC Symphony in New York later that year. Toscanini asked Rodzinski if he could suggest an American composer whose work he might program during the coming season, and Rodzinski advised that his Italian colleague investigate the music of the 27-year-old Samuel Barber. By October, Barber had completed and submitted to Toscanini the Essay No. 1 for Orchestra and an arrangement for string orchestra of the slow movement from the String Quartet (Op. 11, in B minor) he had written in Rome in 1936 — the Adagio for Strings. No reply came from Toscanini, however. The scores were returned without comment in the spring, and Barber started to cast about for other conductors who might perform them.

The following summer Barber traveled to Lake Maggiore with Gian Carlo Menotti, where Menotti was to meet Toscanini. Barber, however, refused his friend’s invitation to go along for the visit to Toscanini’s home. “Illness,” Menotti told the conductor. “Oh,” replied Toscanini, “he’s perfectly well; he’s just angry with me, but he has no reason to be — I’m going to do both of his pieces.” True to his word, Toscanini performed the Essay No. 1 and the Adagio for Strings on his November 5, 1938 broadcast with the NBC Symphony, though he did not ask to see the scores again until the day before the rehearsal — he had already memorized them. The Adagio was an instant success. It was the only American work that Toscanini took on his tour of South America.

Sibelius praised it. The audience at its 1945 Russian premiere, in Kiev, would not leave the hall until Stokowski encored it. It was the music broadcast from New York and London following

 FRÉDÉRIC CHOPIN (1810-1849): Piano Concerto No. 2 in F minor, Op. 21 Frédéric Chopin was born on February 22, 1810 in Zelazowa-Wola (near Warsaw), Poland, and died on October 17, 1849 in Paris. He composed his F minor Concerto in 1829, and introduced it on his concert of March 17, 1830 at the National Theater in Warsaw, the event that marked his formal debut as pianist and composer. The score calls for woodwinds in pairs, two horns, two trumpets, bass trombone, timpani and strings. Duration is about 32 minutes. The orchestra last performed the Concerto in February, 2020, conducted by Jun Markl with Fabio Bidini playing piano.

Frédéric Chopin was nineteen and in love when he wrote this Concerto in 1829. The Concerto he handled with maturity and assurance — the love affair, he did not. When Chopin finished his studies at the Warsaw Conservatory that summer, he was already an accomplished pianist and composer. As a graduation present, his father sent him to Vienna, where he gave two successful concerts and found a publisher for his Variations for Piano and Orchestra on Mozart’s La ci darem la mano (Op. 2). It was sometime during those summer months that he began the F minor Concerto. Though he enjoyed his visit to the imperial city, his thoughts were often back in Warsaw, centered on a comely young singer, one Constantia Gladowska. In his biography of the composer, Casimir Wierzynski passed on some information about this apparently delightful lady: “She had been studying voice at the Conservatory for four years and was considered one of the school’s best pupils. She was also said to be one of the prettiest. Her regular, full face, framed in blond hair, was an epitome of youth, health and vigor, and her beauty was conspicuous in the Conservatory chorus, for all that it boasted a number of beautiful women. The young lady, conscious of her charms, was distinguished by ambition and diligence in her studies. She dreamed of becoming an opera singer....” Constantia was certainly a worthy object for Chopin’s affections, though she had no way to know of his interest — it took him a full year to utter a word to her.

PROGRAM V

CLASSICS PROGRAM NOTES Chopin first saw Constantia when she sang at a Conservatory concert on April 21, 1829. For the first time in his life, he fell in love. He followed Constantia to her performances, and caught glimpses of her when she appeared at the theater or in church, but never approached her. He kept his churning passion secret even from his friends. She was on his mind constantly, and the emotional rush of young love played a seminal role in the creation of his two piano concertos.

On October 6th, Chopin, recently returned from Vienna, composed a waltz (Op. 70, No. 3) with the image of Constantia vivid in his mind. That evening, he was no longer able to contain his feelings, and wrote to his friend Titus Woyciechowski, “I have — perhaps to my own misfortune — already found my ideal, whom I worship faithfully and sincerely. Six months have elapsed, and I haven’t yet exchanged a syllable with her of whom I dream every night — she who was in my mind when I composed the Adagio of my Concerto.” Chopin’s love manifested itself in giddily immature ways. He raved about Constantia’s virtues to his friends. He invited one Mrs. Beyer to dinner simply because her given name was the same as that of his beloved. He reported “tingling with pleasure” whenever he saw a handkerchief embroidered with her name. He broke off one of his letters abruptly with the syllable “Con — ,” explaining, “No, I cannot complete her name, my hand is too unworthy.”

After yet another half year of such maudlin goings-on, Chopin finally met — actually talked with — Constantia in April 1830. She was pleasant to him, and they became friends, but he was never convinced that she fully returned his love. She took part in his farewell concert in Warsaw on October 11th, and he kept up a correspondence with her for a while through an intermediary. (He felt it improper to write directly to a young woman without her parents’ permission.) Her marriage to a Warsaw merchant in 1832 caused him intense but impermanent grief, which soon evaporated in the glittering social whirl of Paris, his new home.

In the opening movement of the Second Concerto, most of the orchestra’s participation is confined to the introduction, in which are presented the main theme (a rather dolorous tune with dotted rhythms played immediately by violins) and the second theme, a brighter strain given by woodwinds led by the oboe. The piano enters and, with the exception of the orchestral interludes surrounding the development section and the concluding coda, dominates the remainder of the movement. A description of the second movement’s form — three-part (A–B–A) with wide-ranging harmonic excursions in the center section — is too clinical to convey the moonlit poetry and quiet intensity of this beautiful music. The theme of the finale was inspired by the mazurka, the Polish national dance that also served Chopin as the basis for more than fifty stylized compositions for solo piano. The movement’s structure comprises a series of episodes rounded off by the return of the main theme and a cheerful coda.

CLASSICS PROGRAM NOTES MODEST MUSSORGSKY (1839-1881): Pictures at an Exhibition Transcribed for Orchestra by Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) Modest Mussorgsky was born on March 21, 1839 in Karevo, Pskov District, Russia, and died on March 28, 1881 in St. Petersburg. He composed his Pictures at an Exhibition as a suite for solo piano in June 1874. The most familiar transcription for orchestra was done by Maurice Ravel early in 1923 on commission from the conductor Sergei Koussevitzky. Koussevitzky premiered that version at his concert in Paris on May 3, 1923. Ravel’s transcription is scored for piccolo, three flutes, three oboes, English horn, two clarinets, bass clarinet, two bassoons, contrabassoon, E-flat alto saxophone, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, celesta, two harps and strings.

Duration is about 35 minutes. Brett Mitchell conducted the orchestra's last performance of Pictures at an Exhibition in March, 2019.

In the years around 1850, with the spirit of nationalism sweeping through Europe, several young Russian artists banded together to rid their native art of foreign influences in order to establish a distinctive character for their works. At the front of this movement was a group of composers known as “The Five,” whose members included Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Borodin, César Cui and Mily Balakirev. Among the allies that The Five found in other fields was the artist and architect Victor Hartmann, with whom Mussorgsky became close personal friends. Hartmann’s premature death at 39 stunned the composer and the entire Russian artistic community. The noted critic Vladimir Stassov organized a memorial exhibit of Hartmann’s work in February 1874, and it was under the inspiration of that showing of his late friend’s works that Mussorgsky conceived his Pictures at an Exhibition for piano. Maurice Ravel made his masterful orchestration of the score for Sergei Koussevitzky’s Paris concerts in 1923.

Promenade. According to Stassov, this recurring section depicts Mussorgsky “roving through the exhibition, now leisurely, now briskly, and, at times sadly, thinking of his friend.” The Gnome.

Hartmann’s drawing is for a fantastic wooden nutcracker representing a gnome who gives off savage shrieks while he waddles about. Promenade — The Old Castle. A troubadour sings a doleful lament before a foreboding, ruined ancient fortress. Promenade — Tuileries. Hartmann’s picture shows a corner of the famous Parisian garden filled with nursemaids and their youthful charges. Bydlo. Hartmann’s painting depicts a rugged wagon drawn by oxen. The peasant driver sings a plaintive melody (solo tuba) heard first from afar, then close-by, before the cart passes away into the distance. Promenade — Ballet of the Chicks in Their Shells. Hartmann’s costume design for the 1871 fantasy ballet Trilby shows dancers enclosed in enormous egg shells.

Samuel Goldenberg and Schmuyle was inspired by a pair of pictures depicting two residents of the Warsaw ghetto, one rich and pompous (a weighty unison for strings and winds), the other poor and complaining (muted trumpet). Mussorgsky based both themes on incantations

CLASSICS PROGRAM NOTES he had heard on visits to Jewish synagogues. The Marketplace at Limoges. A lively sketch of a bustling market. Catacombs, Roman Tombs. Cum Mortuis in Lingua Mortua. Hartmann’s drawing shows him being led by a guide with a lantern through cavernous underground tombs.

The movement’s second section, titled “With the Dead in a Dead Language,” is a mysterious transformation of the Promenade theme. The Hut on Fowl’s Legs. Hartmann’s sketch is a design for an elaborate clock suggested by Baba Yaga, the fearsome witch of Russian folklore who flies through the air. Mussorgsky’s music suggests a wild, midnight ride. The Great Gate of Kiev was inspired by Hartmann’s plan for a gateway for the city of Kiev in the massive old Russian style crowned with a cupola in the shape of a Slavic warrior’s helmet. The majestic music suggests both the imposing bulk of the edifice (never built, incidentally) and a brilliant procession passing through its arches.

CO MMUN I T Y SUPPO RT COVID-19 TICKET DONORS On March 13, 2020, the Colorado Symphony, along with the rest of the world, was forced to shut our doors and postpone or cancel an entire year and half’s worth of live performances due to the situation surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic. Since then, many of our supporters and patrons graciously chose to donate the value of their tickets and season packages back to the Symphony to help our wonderful and talented musicians and staff get through this difficult time.

We would therefore like to thank all of our dedicated patrons and donors for donating back their tickets to support the Colorado Symphony.

We encourage you to arrive up to 45 minutes prior to the start of your event. This will alleviate congestion in all walk ways and entrances and will allow for proper screening. To review the full policy and prohibited items, please visit artscomplex.com.
