or the eighty full-time musicians of the Colorado Symphony, every program is different. All season long, an exciting variety of conductors and guest artists bring their distinctive stamp to timeless works by the greatest composers of all time, both classic and contemporary. We don’t always know what to expect when we show up for that first read-through. Truly, one of the exciting things about our jobs is constantly discovering new and creative interpretations of even the most traditional music.

When it’s time to perform with the Colorado Symphony Chorus, as we will 25 times this season alone, we know to expect some constants: excellence, power, and passion. Led by world-renowned choral director Duain Wolfe, the choir is composed of 200 volunteers who exemplify the beauty of choral music in every performance. Our singers are bound by a shared dedication to the music. Every week, they travel from across the Front Range to rehearsals and performances in Denver and beyond, totaling about eighty a year.

Since its founding in 1984, the Colorado Symphony Chorus has performed at concerts and festivals across Colorado, including the Aspen Music Festival, where it’s been featured every summer for the past two decades. In 2009, Wolfe and the Chorus celebrated 25 years with a two-week concert tour of Europe, showing audiences around the world what Colorado has to offer the world of classical music.

This season, the Colorado Symphony honors the Chorus with a series of concerts that celebrate its immeasurable contribution to the orchestra. We look forward to again sharing the stage with these talented singers, who amplify the experience for the musicians on stage as well as the audience in the hall.

Thank you, Mr. Wolfe and the Colorado Symphony Chorus, for thirty incredible years! Here’s to thirty more.

Heroes, villains, superheroes, and superstars are bringing new audiences — and new outfits — to Boettcher Concert Hall.

Pop Culture Classroom, which produces one of the largest Comic Con conventions in the United States. This spring, more than 75,000 people attended the three-day event in downtown Denver.

This season, the Colorado Symphony launched a series of four concerts designed with this fun and music-loving crowd in mind. According to Anthony Pierce, Senior Vice President of Program Innovation, the series is an opportunity to lure new audience members and show off a more playful side of the orchestra.

“The Geek series is a lot of fun for everyone, because the music of these films and TV shows and cartoons was written to be performed by orchestras. It really shows off what the ensemble can do.

It’s very exciting, dramatic, and most people connect to it on a deep level,” says Pierce. “The response at these concerts is overwhelming, because the crowd is so enthusiastic. They dress up. They get into it. The musicians definitely feed off of that energy.”

The Geek concerts build on the success of last year’s popular Symphonic Tribute to Comic Con and Star Wars concerts, which brought enthusiastic, intergenerational – and intergalactic – crowds to Boettcher Concert Hall. So far, the series has indeed brought new people into the concert experience: Of those who attended the Animaniacs Live!

JIM MIMNA

Quick: What images comes to your mind when you think of a Colorado Symphony concert?

If the answer involves capes, superheroes, master villains and a mysterious power known as the Force, you might be among a population whose members proudly identify as “Geeks.” And if you aren’t a Geek, you may be seated next to one: Geek life is huge in Denver, and Geeks represent a growing segment of the Colorado Symphony audience.

“Music is really everywhere in Geek culture.

It’s more interwoven than people realize,” says Matt Krupa, the Colorado Symphony’s Application Support Analyst and resident Nerd Consultant. “Many movies, television shows, and video games all have symphonic music at their core. Try to imagine Darth Vader with no ‘Imperial March,’ or any Star Trek series without music. It simply wouldn’t be the same.”

Krupa is also a quizmaster with Geeks Who Drink pub trivia and an avowed Star Wars fanatic (as evidenced by the action figures that line his computer). This season, he’s been busy in the role of Nerd Consultant, a title that began as a joke. Krupa has driven partnerships between the CSO and a number of Geek-centric organizations in town, including Girls of Geek 12, the 501st Legion Mountain Garrison and Denver Comic Con/

nearly doubled in the past year, with patrongenerated content popping up the Colorado Symphony’s Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram feeds. This spike is another illustration of the intrinsic relationship between “Geeks” and music — an association that for many goes back a long way.

“I imagine if you surveyed musicians in orchestras across the country, you’d find that many of them were either labeled or self-identified with the term ‘band Geek,’ at some point, and that sense of camaraderie remains strong even for former ‘band Geeks’ who no longer practice, but have a knowing ‘insider’ appreciation for a live symphonic performance,” says Kendra Wiig, another proud Geek who manages the Colorado Symphony’s social media content. “Many of these students now embrace the term with pride: ‘Band Geek’ is an identity of mastery, passion, and camaraderie with fellow musicians.”

The Geek series continues with A Symphonic Tribute to Comic Con v2.0 on November 15, followed by Danny Elfman’s Music from The Films of Tim Burton on February 6 and 7, and Star Wars in May 2015.

Geek concert in September, more than half were first-time patrons of the Colorado Symphony.

“Our mission is to share the experience of symphonic music with everyone – not just traditional audiences,” says Pierce. “Through programming and outreach to partners and different cultural pockets of our community, we’re finding audiences and really catering to them. It’s really an exciting opportunity for the organization.”

It’s also an opportunity for, say, resident conductor Scott O’Neil to dress as Yoda. Or for Stormtroopers to dance in the aisles.

Every program in the Geek series includes a little something extra, from photo-ops with Spider-Man to a mini-Comic Con midway vibe in the lobby.

“These concerts let us celebrate what we all love, and they make the music more accessible to someone who might be otherwise intimidated by a symphonic experience,” says Krupa. “We remind them that a symphony orchestra is behind some of their favorites.”

Technology is embraced as part of the Geek concerts, as audience members are encouraged to take photographs and post to social media before and during the program.

This is part of the reason the Colorado Symphony’s social media following has

MUSICIAN SPOTLIGHT MEET CATHERINE BEESON At every point in her journey to her current chair as the Colorado Symphony’s Assistant Principal Viola, Catherine Beeson has played two roles: musician, and educator. Before moving to Denver in 1999, Catherine served as a teaching artist with the New York Philharmonic and the Little Orchestra Society in New York City. In Denver, Catherine has brought the joy of music to both children and adults through Colorado Youth Symphony Orchestra, Up Close and Musical, Friends of Chamber Music, and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.

In September, Catherine was appointed to the Colorado Symphony’s newly created position of Director of Community and Education Programs, a post she’ll hold while maintaining her place in the orchestra. That’s no easy task.

Fortunately, Catherine is uniquely energetic, dedicated, and passionate about connecting people of all ages and backgrounds to the power of symphonic music.

Why are you so passionate about music education?

I love getting to live in a world of history and expression as a performer. Every day I collaborate with other musicians is a day I am grateful to be immersed in this incredible continuum of human genius.

For me, education is a way to express that gratitude far beyond my group of performer colleagues. It’s so powerful an experience for us, how can we not feel compelled to invite everyone into it?

When you talk about music education, you don’t just mean for children.

Tell us a bit about your approach to providing enrichment and engagement opportunities for people of all ages.

Just like everyone is an artist whether they think they “can draw” or not, I believe everyone is a musician! The CSO

is committed to unleashing that super power with our Very Young Composers program. We also reach teen and college age students with special visits to open rehearsals and opportunities to work directly with CSO musicians who have performance experience from all over the world. We’re also very excited to be providing adult education programs like our Inside the Score series and a variety of interactive lecture series throughout the community.

Can a person be too old, or too young, to learn about music?

If I had one wish it would be to give any age person the basic tools to allow them to make music from nothing. Creation of music seems so daunting but it’s really nothing more than absent minded humming made mindful. When we learn to make something, we are internalizing

Third-grade students in the Colorado Symphony’s Very Young Composers at Cole Arts & Science Academy. the mechanics, making critical choices and observations, and beginning to understand that thing in a very personal way.

Music is no different, especially “classical” music. Can a person ever be too old or too young to learn about anything?

As a member of the orchestra and, now, the staff, you’re in a unique position.

What’s exciting about living in both worlds? Is it challenging?

It’s definitely challenging to balance both worlds, but that is part of what makes it exciting. The more important part, and this may sound cheesy, is that for me each of these worlds completes the other. Whether I’m coaching young instrumentalists, facilitating workshops, writing activity-based listening exercises, or designing outreach programs, it all has a direct impact on the way in which I approach performance preparation. I’m very lucky and deeply grateful to have been able to do the work of art for over 25 years. I’m even more excited to be able to roll it all into one job for my home team now!

What was your musical education like as a child?

I grew up with very little music in the house but I was blessed with a father who belted out silly songs and a mom who thought it would be a good idea for me to have some music lessons. When I was nine she drove me to Houston from our small east Texas town every week, a 55-mile trek. In those days, before seatbelt laws, I practiced while laying down in the back of the station wagon!

I really loved the violin instantly and would scratch away at it trying to figure out my latest assignments. Before long I was able to join a youth orchestra and that’s when I was really hooked!

MASTERWORKS BIOGRAPHIES JUN MÄRKL, conductor Jun Märkl has long been known as a highly respected interpreter of the core Germanic repertoire from both the symphonic and operatic traditions, and more recently for his refined and idiomatic explorations of the French impressionists. His long-standing relationships at the state operas of Vienna, Berlin, Munich and Semperoper Dresden have in recent years been complemented by his Music Directorships of the Orchestre National de Lyon (2005-11) and MDR Symphony Orchestra Leipzig (to 2012). For the 2014/15 season he is Musical Advisor of the Basque National Orchestra. He guests with the world’s leading orchestras, including: Cleveland Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, NHK Symphony Orchestra, Czech Philharmonic, Munich Philharmonic, Oslo Philharmonic, Tonhalle Orchester Zürich. In 2014 Naxos released two Hosokawa discs recorded by Jun Maerkl with Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Maerkl has also recorded the complete Schumann symphonies live with the NHK Symphony, Dvořák on Telarc, Mendelssohn and D’Albert with MDR, and Ravel, Messaien and a highly acclaimed nine-disc Debussy set with the Orchestre National de Lyon on Naxos.

In recognition of his achievements in Lyon he was honoured by the French Ministry of Culture in 2012 with the Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. Jun Märkl is represented by Intermusica, smcleod@intermusica.co.uk.

JEFFREY KAHANE , piano Equally at home at the keyboard or on the podium, Jeffrey Kahane has established an international reputation as a truly versatile artist, recognized by audiences around the world for his mastery of a diverse repertoire ranging from Bach, Mozart and Beethoven to Gershwin, Golijov and John Adams.

Since making his Carnegie Hall debut in 1983, Mr. Kahane has given recitals in many of the nation’s major music centers including New York, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Atlanta. He is equally well-known for his collaborations with artists and chamber ensembles such as Yo-Yo Ma, Dawn Upshaw, Joshua Bell, Thomas Quasthoff and the Emerson and Takacs Quartets. Currently in his 18th season as Music Director of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Mr. Kahane concluded his tenure as Music Director of the Colorado Symphony in June 2010 and for ten seasons was Music Director of the Santa Rosa Symphony, where he is now Conductor Laureate. He has received much recognition for his innovative programming and commitment to education and community involvement with all three orchestras and received ASCAP Awards for Adventurous Programming for his work in both Los Angeles and Denver. A native of Los Angeles and a graduate of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, Mr. Kahane’s early piano studies were with Howard Weisel and Jakob Gimpel. First Prize winner at the 1983 Rubinstein Competition and a finalist at the 1981 Van Cliburn Competition, he was also the recipient of a 1983 Avery Fisher Career Grant and the first Andrew Wolf Chamber Music Award in 1987. An avid linguist who reads widely in a number of ancient and modern languages, Mr. Kahane received a Master’s Degree in Classics from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2011.

PROGRAM 2 SOUNDINGS 2014/15 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG

MASTERWORKS PROGRAM NOTES BEETHOVEN: Overture to Fidelio, Op. 72 The overture is scored for winds in pairs, four horns, two trumpets, two trombones, timpani, and strings. Duration is approximately 6 minutes. Last performance by the orchestra was on November 30, December 1 and 2, 2012 with Douglas Boyd on the podium.

When Beethoven arrived in Vienna as a young composer--shortly after Mozart’s death-money, reputation, and professional respect lay in the composition of operas, so it was only natural that Beethoven aspired to write one. He focused early on in the composition of chamber music and solo piano music, but eventually tackled the aspiration. Alas! It was a tortured affair for Beethoven, for he labored over it (and he is famed for revising his work) with more effort than any of his other compositions. He spoke frankly of his frustration, and claimed a “martyr’s crown” for the pain it caused him. That there are three versions of the opera and four overtures, alone, speaks volumes about the process of its genesis. He started in 1804, with the wildly popular French “rescue operas” of Cherubini and Méhul as models. The genre was a proto-romantic inspiration from the trials and terror of the times of the French Revolution, with heroines and heroes saved from death and disaster in the nick of time. “Heroic” imagery and noble sacrifice fascinated Beethoven—he had just finished the Eroica symphony about that time. And, of course, Beethoven’s idolization of noble women with whom he could never connect on a meaningful personal level is part of the mix, as well.

His four overtures for the opera are “Fidelio,” and “Leonore” Nos. 1, 2, and 3.

As with the enumeration of many composers’ symphonies, the titles can be misleading.

“Leonore No. 2” is probably the first attempt, ditched for a more dramatic version, “Leonore No. 3,” for performances of the next year. They’re big works and frequently performed today as concert pieces, but Beethoven then, probably wisely, decided the latter was too weighty to open the show, so he pruned it for the next spate of performances (which didn’t materialize)--yielding “Leonore No. 1.” Finally, in 1814 he composed an entirely new, shorter, and more appropriate opening for the opera, the “Overture to Fidelio.” Whew. This last version doesn’t use any themes from the opera, is more concise, and in the right key to lead directly into the opening scene of the opera. In short, finally, he found the perfect opener for his great drama.

o BEETHOVEN: Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-flat major, Op. 73, “Emperor” The concerto is scored for pairs of flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, horns, and trumpets plus timpani and strings. The duration is approximately 39 minutes. The piece was last performed by the Colorado Symphony on March 20-22, 2009, with Barry Douglas as the soloist and Scott O’Neil leading the orchestra.

It is Mozart, of course, to whom we owe the creation of the mature, symphonic piano concerto. Following in his stead, Beethoven wrote five works in this genre; the first two were composed in the 1790s and owe much to the example of Mozart. The third, in C minor, was completed in 1803, around the time of his second symphony, and it is a far darker and impassioned work than the previous ones. By the time of the fourth concerto, finished in 1806, Beethoven had undergone remarkable growth as a composer. He had resolutely fought his way SOUNDINGS 2014/15 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG PROGRAM 3

MASTERWORKS PROGRAM NOTES out of the deep suicidal depression occasioned by his increasing deafness. The monumental Eroica (third symphony), his opera, Fidelio, and the Rasumovsky string quartets had been created, and revealed the musical power, psychological depth, and progressive imagination of the mature composer. As such, the fourth piano concerto occupies a significant place in his oeuvre, with the rôle of the piano assuming greater strength and independence than in the earlier concertos. The fifth concerto (the moniker, “Emperor,” has no real meaning, having been attached later in circumstances not related to the composer, although it must be admitted, it’s not inappropriate, at all, if you must have an nickname) thus stands at the end of his efforts in the genre. It is a major work, not only in its intrinsic artistry, but also marks the culmination of an extraordinary period of inspiration and production on the part of the composer. That time began more or less in 1803 with the Eroica,\went on to include other major works in the “heroic style,” and ended in 1809 with the fifth piano concerto. Many of these works are in the key of Eb major, which seems to have been Beethoven’s key of choice when essaying a bold, dynamic, confident work.

As he matured, Beethoven, like many great artists pushed the limits of the artistic conventions of his milieu; one has only to think of the challenging nature, for performers and listeners alike, of the late string quartets and piano sonatas. That was certainly true of many aspects of his fourth piano concerto, and even more so for the fifth. The latter is a significant work in all regards, not the least for its great length—one of the longest of his symphonies and concertos--but not a measure too long for his formidable execution of the musical architecture.

It unfortunately marks another milestone: it was the first of his concertos that he did not perform, owing to the significant deterioration of his hearing, which made collaboration with the orchestra impossible.

Like the fourth concerto it begins unconventionally, the piano playing the opening bars with the orchestra. The beginning consists simply of three great hammer strokes in the orchestra, after each of which the piano plays a short roulade of arpeggios, trills, and other cadenza-like gestures, in a style not unworthy of Chopin. The orchestra immediately follows with a vigorous statement of the main theme, a simple, but stately one, in the Beethovenian tradition, and not inappropriate for the grand nature of the work. Soon, the quieter second theme comes, first in the minor in the woodwinds, and soon thereafter in the major in the horns.

The orchestra works its way through to the end of the section and the piano finally enters with a scale, a trill, and the main theme from the opening measures. There then ensues one of Beethoven’s longest movements, in which the soloist and orchestra engage in a dialogue that stunningly exemplifies the creativity and genius of the composer, as they work out the themes on their way to the recapitulation--heralded by a repetition of the hallmark opening chords and piano flourishes.

The profound serenity, beauty, and reflective eloquence of the slow movement stand at the apex of the composer’s gift in this voice. The gentle main theme is primarily stepwise, rather like a simple chorale, played first by the orchestra. The rich, freshness of the opening is accomplished in no small part by Beethoven’s choice of key—B major, a remote key, but really an enharmonic version of one of his signature harmonic relationships. The piano enters, and engages in a series of explorations of the material, in a free and almost improvisatory fashion, interspersed with meditative, straightforward statements of the eloquent theme. This sublime, discursive mood continues--certainly no one is in hurry for it to end—but it surely must, and the composer again pulls out a bit of trickery to bring on the finale. A soft, sustained B natural in the PROGRAM 4 SOUNDINGS 2014/15 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG

MASTERWORKS PROGRAM NOTES bassoons and horns descends to Bb, the strong note in music that psychologically takes us to Eb, the main key of the concerto, and where we must go for the last movement. But the intent is mysterious: we hear a brand new theme in the piano, softly and deliberately stated, and then, without notice, we vigorously plunge straightway into the happy last movement with that new theme as its subject. It’s a romping, stomping affair which some have compared to a rough German dance—it’s certainly in the vein of his seventh symphony, which he would compose two years later.

The shape is simple—only a diversion in the middle interrupts this dancing, active material.

There, the pianist explores briefly a few fresh keys and contrasting ideas, but soon enough, the driving, dancing fun resumes, as the smashing conclusion seems to near. One more trick, though: gradually the intensity appears to be waning, not growing, and a quiet duet between the soloist and the timpani portends a tranquil ending. Not so—for a triumphal outburst in Beethoven’s best manner from the whole orchestra clinches the matter.

o BEETHOVEN: Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67 The symphony is scored for two flutes and piccolo, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons and contrabassoon, two horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani, and strings. The duration is approximately 35 minutes. Last performance by the orchestra took place on September 24-26, 2010, with Douglas Boyd conducting.

Beethoven’s fifth symphony is the iconic work of classical music. It pervades the whole world of symbols and imagery of musical art as an evocation of a welter of ideas. In a sad way it is almost impossible to escape all of these associations extrinsic to the work itself and to focus only on Beethoven’s composition. But distancing one’s self from it all and listening to the symphony as if for the first time can be a joy—as this writer has found, sitting in the best seat in the house (in the back of the orchestra).

By the time that Beethoven had composed this work he was a well-respected composer in Vienna, but certainly not hailed as a genius. The first three symphonies, three piano concertos, piano sonatas, string quartets—all had bolstered his growing reputation before he finished this symphony. It took him rather a long time, almost four years, as he interrupted his work frequently to produce some significant compositions: The Razumovsky string quartets, the fourth symphony and fourth piano concerto, and the first version of his only opera, Fidelio.

Beethoven was a practical man, and when a commission materialized, he shifted his work to where the money was. He finally ground out the completion of the fifth symphony and presented it on an ill-starred concert at the Theater an der Wien on December 22, 1808. It was an all-Beethoven affair, presenting the premières of not only the Fifth Symphony, but also the Sixth Symphony, the Fourth Piano Concerto, and the Choral Fantasy (a precursor to his Ninth Symphony), as well as various other compositions. The concert was four hours long and the hall was literally freezing. Moreover, Beethoven, who was conducting, had to start over in one work after a mistake derailed things. Finally, the orchestra was not in a good mood, owing to recent encounters with the composer’s eccentricities. All of this was soon forgotten and the written record shows that Beethoven’s fifth symphony was quickly accorded general acclaim, and was SOUNDINGS 2014/15 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG PROGRAM 5

MASTERWORKS PROGRAM NOTES on its way to immortality.

The defining characteristics of the work are well known, and focus upon rhythmic vitality, an informing sense of drama, and imaginative structural details--but most of all, upon a stunning coherence and economy of elements. The latter is the foundation of the first movement, famous for its four-note motto beginning and the “wringing” almost to death of every musical possibility of the short idea. Forget “fate knocking at the door,” this is simply a dramatic tour-de-force of musical coherence. And even if one ignores the adroit manipulation of the melodic content of the opening idea, it is astonishing how well the movement stands upon its own feet from a purely rhythmic perspective.

The second movement is an elegant set of variations on two themes. The key of the movement is Ab, and even if most of us don’t have perfect pitch, it just “sounds” fresh and unexpected when the violoncellos and violas enter with one of Beethoven’s most ingratiating melodies in that particular key. The second theme is a more triumphant one, in C major, another remote and refreshing key. The variations gracefully work themselves out with these contrasting themes in a movement quite different from the first.

The third movement is the traditional dance movement, here cast in Beethoven’s innovative “scherzo” rhythm—the stately dance of his predecessors being sped up considerably. But it’s not a rollicking good time to be had by all, here. Rather, it opens with a mysterious arpeggio in the low strings that ends shortly on some chords with enigmatic meaning. Soon this is shatteringly interrupted by the unison horns in a virile melody that seems related to the opening of the symphony. The middle of the movement, the “trio,” is usually an opportunity for contrast, and we do get it. It starts out contrapuntally with a vigorous, challenging, and well-known passage for the violoncellos and double basses. They snarl and shake it like a dog.

Ultimately, a truncated version of the opening returns, but even softer, and here is where real magic occurs.

Beethoven “bridges” the transition into the last movement with a delicate solo passage in the first violins played over pianissimo sustained notes in the seconds and violas—the basses and timpani softly “throb.” In one of the most eerie and tension-building passages in all the literature the melody snakes up and down in a crescendo that jubilantly leads to the C major theme that resolves all previous “troubled thought.” For this glorious moment Beethoven brings in three trombones, contra-bassoon, and piccolo—hitherto found only in the opera orchestra.

The last movement is long, as three themes are worked over, interrupted only by the striking innovation of a shady, brief reference to the third movement. It’s as if Beethoven is saying, “OK, we win, but it may be only a brief victory.” The recapitulation ensues, followed by an enormous coda—longer than any other section so far. We hear the main three themes again, only in a kind of reverse order. The long coda is needed to erase all doubt as to what prevails over the diversions and dark moods of the other three movements. Victory is ours, and the fifty or so measures of emphatic C major chords seal the finale. © 2014 William E. Runyan

HOLIDAY BIOGRAPHIES SCOTT O’NEIL, resident conductor This is Scott O’Neil’s ninth season with the Colorado Symphony, and his fourth full season as resident conductor. O’Neil maintains a strong commitment to making music of the highest quality accessible to young audiences. He served as associate conductor for the Utah Symphony, which he joined in August 2000. O’Neil studied piano performance at the Oberlin College Conservatory, served as the assistant conductor of the Eastman School Symphony and Philharmonia Orchestras at the Eastman School of Music, and earned a master’s degree in orchestral conducting at Rice University, where he was the director of the Campanile Orchestra, a community/university orchestra. In the spring of 2003, O’Neil was selected by the League of American Orchestras (LAO) to conduct an orchestra comprised of members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and advanced students from the University of Southern California in Synergy, a program created to promote young, contemporary composers. O’Neil is prominently featured with the Colorado Symphony as conductor and creator of the Inside the Score series, in addition to appearances on each of the Masterworks, Family, Pops and Holiday Series.

PINK MARTINI Thomas Lauderdale founded the “little orchestra” Pink Martini in 1994 to play political fundraisers for progressive causes such as civil rights, affordable housing, the environment, and public broadcasting. Featuring a dozen musicians, Pink Martini performs its multilingual repertoire on concert stages and with symphony orchestras throughout Europe, Asia, Greece, Turkey, the Middle East, Northern Africa, Australia, New Zealand, South America, and North America. Pink Martini made its orchestral debut with the Oregon Symphony in 1998 under the direction of Norman Leyden. Since then, the band has gone on to play with more than 50 orchestras around the world, including multiple engagements with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, the Boston Pops, the National Symphony at the Kennedy Center, the San Francisco Symphony, and the BBC Concert Orchestra at Royal Albert Hall in London. Pink Martini’s debut album Sympathique was released independently in 1997 on the band’s own label Heinz Records (named after Lauderdale’s dog), and quickly became an international phenomenon. Pink Martini released Hang On Little Tomato in 2004, Hey Eugene! in 2007, Splendor In The Grass in 2009, Joy To The World in 2010, A Retrospective and 1969 in 2011, Get Happy in 2013, and Dream a Little Dream in 2014. Pink Martini albums have sold over 3 million copies worldwide. Singer Storm Large began performing with Pink Martini in March 2011 when China Forbes took a leave of absence to undergo surgery on her vocal cords. Forbes made full recovery and now both she and Large continue performing with Pink Martini.
