STORIES OF NOTE

A 21 Century Symphony st

By Nick Dobreff When you think of symphonic music, what do you see? What do you hear? Does your mind wander to faded images of legendary composers seen in school textbooks and classrooms? Do you hear a favorite symphony or concerto, perhaps something you associate with a powerful memory or emotion? Or are you instantly transported into the concert hall, immersed in the sights and sounds of the concert going experience?

From the 18th century through the early part of the 20th, symphonic music was the predominant musical art form for much of the world, and the concert hall was the world’s conduit. Lacking the modern technology we enjoy today, someone from this period would be lucky to hear a piece more than once in their life. Imagine hearing Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony for the first time and never having the opportunity to hear it again? This scarcity generated a voracious appetite for symphonic music, propelling patrons to the concert hall in droves for generations.

After the turn of the 20th century, new forms of music began to gain in popularity, including jazz and rock and roll, and later country, hip hop, and electronica.

Simultaneously, music also became more accessible to people in their homes, vehicles, and later, in their pockets. This increased volume and accessibility has created more competition than ever for the eyes and ears of music lovers everywhere.

So what is the significance of symphonic music in the 21st century, what role will it play moving forward, and how can classical symphonic music stay relevant with the challenges presented by modern society?

This is the question every orchestra around the world grapples with, and it’s one that the Colorado Symphony is at the forefront of addressing: It begins with reaching larger and more diverse audiences than ever before.

One way to accomplish this is by collaborating with musicians outside of the normal classical music sphere. The first notable instance of such a collaboration including the Colorado Symphony occurred in 1992 with a performance alongside The Moody Blues at Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre. However, such partnerships did not manifest into a targeted campaign until nearly two decades later when, in 2012, the Colorado 16

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

Symphony joined GRAMMY®-nominated Indie folkrock group DeVotchKa for a pair of performances at Boettcher Concert Hall and Red Rocks.

For the Colorado Symphony, this collaboration was an incredible opportunity to perform with a group of local, world-class musicians while also coming face-to-face with thousands of music lovers who may never have seen a live symphonic orchestra before. And for DeVotchKa, collaborating with the Colorado Symphony added lush new layers to their songs, creating a concert experience that felt familiar and yet completely original.

“One of the great things is that we were hoping some of the people who may not normally come down to see the Colorado Symphony, if we were involved they would take a chance and come down to see it and keep coming back when they realized what a treasure we have,” said Nick Urata, lead vocalist for DeVotchKa.

So what is the significance of symphonic music in the 21st century, what role will it play moving forward, and how can classical symphonic music stay relevant with the challenges presented by modern society?

Another memorable collaboration came a few years later when the Colorado Symphony and Chorus performed with The Flaming Lips — the colorful, whimsical, and boundarypushing rockers from Oklahoma City — at Red Rocks, invigorating the band’s seminal album, The Soft Bulletin, in front of a sold-out crowd. The performance was recorded and released as an album in October 2019, following a second sold-out performance of The Soft Bulletin at Boettcher Concert Hall in February of that year.

Perhaps these collaborations seemed odd or out of place to some. A professional symphonic orchestra performing with rock artists? But any trepidation soon melted away when met with the enthusiasm and joy these concerts engender from each audience.

The overall attendance numbers since 2012 speak to a growing and diversified audience at Colorado Symphony performances. Over the last decade, the Colorado Symphony has gradually increased the size and diversity of its audience while simultaneously lowering the average age of its attendees. Since 2013, the average age of Boettcher Concert Hall patrons has decreased from 69 to 49. When you include 17

STORIES OF NOTE Red Rocks shows, best estimates would put the average age of a Colorado Symphony concertgoer into the 30’s.

“What we do at Red Rocks is we’re giving many audience members their initial exposure to what live symphonic music can be,” said Anthony Pierce, Chief Artistic Officer. “It’s a long process to get anybody to be your fan and it doesn’t happen overnight. We have to chip away at that gradually and it starts with education and outreach in our community.

We have the largest and most diverse audience in our history and the numbers prove that. But our greatest challenge as an institution is ensuring there is demand for live symphonic traditional classical music in the future, and that’s what we’re committed to.”

This past summer included a number of incredible Red Rocks performances alongside some of music’s biggest names: OneRepublic, Weird Al Yankovic, and actor Jack Black’s comedy rock duo, Tenacious D. These types of performances — the outsidethe-classical-music-box-type shows — are not only delivering vital revenue for this nonprofit orchestra, but also solidifying new audiences, a fundamental step in ensuring the future of symphonic music in Colorado.

Since 2012, over 20 artists of all genres have chosen the Colorado Symphony for their inaugural orchestral performance. That includes Elephant Revival, Guster, The Flaming Lips, Paper Bird, Bonobo, Lettuce, Tenacious D, The Moody Blues, Pretty Lights, Mandolin Orange, John Prine, Ingrid Michaelson, OneRepublic, Nathaniel Rateliff,

18

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

Odeza, Amos Lee, Gregory Alan Isakov, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, DeVotchKa, The Lumineers, and Sarah McLachlan. In that time, the Colorado Symphony has also performed with popular artists like Seal, Hanson, and Josh Groban.

“We’ve been working to consciously build a reputation as an orchestra where a non-symphonic artist has their great first experience with an orchestra,” Resident Conductor Christopher Dragon told the Denver Post. “When you find the right formula and connection, it just creates something uniquely beautiful. You can’t recreate that experience anywhere else.”

“I think in Colorado and across the country, we’ve made ourselves known as the orchestra that’s doing the most innovative and interesting things,” added Nick Recuber, Assistant Principal Bass for the Colorado Symphony.

When considering a collaboration, the Colorado Symphony first assesses what they can bring to the partnership. If adding orchestration doesn’t contribute significantly to the quality of the music, the collaboration isn’t pursued. There are also additional challenges, like creating the proper sound balance so that the orchestra can be heard over the raw power of a rock and roll drum kit or an electric guitar.

In today’s evolving symphonic landscape, orchestral programming requires a delicate balance between core classical masterworks and popular collaborations along with other types of programming like the increasingly popular Movie at the Symphony concerts. In order to stay relevant for generations to come, it’s become important to show younger audiences that symphonic music has always been a part of their lives, whether they’re initially aware of it or not.

“That’s the magic question that every orchestra faces,” added Pierce. “How does playing a Harry Potter or Star Wars movie keep classical music relevant? What we do with these collaborations is we’re giving younger generations their first exposure to what live symphonic music can be. Once they’ve seen us 2-3 times at Red Rocks with one of these popular artists or watched us perform the score for one of their favorite movies live, then I think they’re much more likely to come see our traditional programming in Boettcher Concert Hall. We’ve got to be doing all of these things to make sure we have a future audience.”

“There’s no question we are one of the busiest orchestras in the country right now,” said Pierce to the Denver Business Journal. “We haven’t reduced our volume of classical content or sacrificed our core mission as curators of symphonic music. We’ve

19

STORIES OF NOTE just diversified. We are still committed to our core classical content — that’s our greatest priority — but we have to do things that ensure there is a future audience for symphonic music.”

As the Colorado Symphony moves into a new decade and grapples with the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, there exists a renewed sense of mission to debunk the myth that symphonic music is only for those of a certain age, a certain demographic, or a certain socioeconomic status. Through collaborations like these and additional outreach in the community, the orchestra is being heard by more people than ever before and the future of symphonic music has never looked brighter.

“What orchestras are doing in their communities is evolving, and I believe we’re ahead of the curve,” said Pierce. “Do we think that every person who came to see Tenacious D will now come to one of our Classics concerts? I doubt it. But do they now think that the Colorado Symphony is the coolest orchestra out there? I think so. And I think they feel a new sense of ownership to the ensemble. We are creating lasting impressions that will have an impact 10, 20, and 50 years into the future.”

From the best of the past to the edge of tomorrow, your Colorado Symphony is at the forefront of a symphonic revolution, pursuing groundbreaking concepts that inspire new generations of music lovers while ensuring a bright future for live symphonic music in Colorado.

STORIES OF NOTE

Colorado Symphony Welcomes Lyle Wong as new Principal Orchestra Librarian Wong follows Joanne Goble who retired after serving in the position since 1988

In February, the Colorado Symphony welcomed Lyle Wong into the fold as the organization’s new Principal Orchestra Librarian. Lyle follows in the distinguished footsteps of Joanne Goble, who retired from the position after serving as the Colorado Symphony's Principal Orchestra Librarian since 1988.

Orchestra Librarians are responsible for the care, upkeep, distribution, and research involving all the music that’s performed. They’re responsible for making sure that music reaches the musicians in the best way possible so there’s as little barrier as possible between the musicians playing and the audience listening. They also act as historians within the organization, keeping records of each performance including repertoire, guest artists, and conductors. And when necessary, they’re counted on to fill in as substitutes within the orchestra.

Prior to joining the Colorado Symphony, Lyle held several music librarian positions including with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Music Academy of the West, Orchestra of the Americas, Breckenridge Music Festival, and most recently at the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra as their Principal Orchestra Librarian. Lyle has a Bachelor of Music-Clarinet Performance from the University of Michigan and Artist Diploma-Clarinet Performance from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music.

Q: Tell us about your background in music.

Lyle Wong: My background in music is mainly as a clarinetist. I went to school as a clarinet performance major and was educated in a very similar way to my colleagues on stage. My original goal was to play the clarinet for a living, so I went through the audition gauntlet and won a few regional orchestra jobs that include the Delaware 22

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

Symphony, Arkansas Symphony, and Opera Cleveland Orchestras. Later, this performance and education background served as my foundation for becoming an orchestral librarian. I previously worked with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Music Academy of the West, Orchestra of the Americas, and Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. In addition to this new post with the Colorado Symphony, I also currently work with Breckenridge Music.

Q: What was your first awareness of the role of an orchestra librarian and how did you choose to pursue it as a career?

LW: When I was performing more consistently, I was rather clueless to the role of the orchestra librarian. My first real awareness occurred when I picked up summer work in the music library of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and later when I started working as Cincinnati's Assistant Librarian. The awakening occurred as I worked on recording projects with Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. I remember the moment exactly — standing in a line with my librarian colleagues, as Erich listened to music that was just recorded. He would send one of the four librarians out to mark an artistic edit in pencil (sometimes in color pencil for emphasis) and the next librarian would step up to receive the next edit instruction. It was an eye-opening process and really the behind the scenes work that made so many of the iconic Cincinnati Pops recordings.

I decided to pursue being a full-time orchestra librarian after working a number of orchestral administrative job and mainly performing with regional orchestras. I wanted something between the stage and the office; and that was the music library.

Q: What does an orchestra librarian do that an audience member or fellow musician might not see?

LW: Part of the orchestral librarian's job is to make performing music as easy as possible. I want my colleagues to have no sheet music obstacles when creating the music you hear. Meaning that even before my fellow musicians receive sheet music to practice, a many number of things need to happen to create effortless rehearsals and performances. Everything from acquiring licensing to fixing copyist errors and coordinating string bowings. And when done right, this organizational process is planned long before the season, maintained continuously, and happens to every piece of music.

23

STORIES OF NOTE Q: How does the orchestra librarian interact with publishers, composers, musicians, and conductors?

LW: The orchestral librarian interacts with these four groups in different ways, but we can divide them into two groups so I don't get deep into the weeds. Publishers/ composers and musicians/conductors.

A composer/copyright holder, they are entitled to various rights and publishers manage the right to distribute their music and issues licensing. I acquire the rights for the Colorado Symphony to legally perform these works in the vision of our conductors and artistic team. This includes the rights to perform the work, rent the sheet music, broadcast and many others, depending on the situation. My interactions with our conductors and musicians are mainly in preparing the physical sheet music and scores.

Q: What attracted you to this position with the Colorado Symphony?

LW: Besides the wonderful things that the Colorado Symphony is doing, I was attracted to this organization because the position works in an administrative sense, but is considered a musician. I had to audition for my position like everyone else you see on stage. This is not the case with every orchestra and many times the librarian is just considered an administrator. I would say that there are 100-ish orchestral librarians in the United States, but only 20 to 30 with the distinction of musician.

Performing full-time never worked out for me, but I love what I do now and to still be recognized as a musician amongst my colleagues means the world to me. The next time you visit the symphony check out the administrative and orchestral rosters - besides our Maestro, I believe the librarian is the only other position listed on both rosters.

Q: What excites you most about moving to Colorado?

LW: Two things excite me the most about moving to Colorado- the proximity to my family and exploring the outdoors. I was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii and almost all of my family still resides there. I moved away for college and have since lived most of my adult life in the Midwest and Southern parts of the United States. As I get older, I would like to be closer to my family and I was recently reminded that I can

24

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

get direct flights to Honolulu. Just the fact that I don't have to take two layovers and round trips can cost less than $1,200 is a game changer!

With regards to the outdoors, I came to Colorado for the first time in 2012 as the Stage Manager for the National Repertory Orchestra (Breckenridge) and was immediately drawn to the outdoors. I had not experienced that feeling since I lived in Honolulu and started to miss it when I moved home. So I made it a priority to experience the Colorado outdoors every summer since 2012, whether that meant stopping through on road trips or making it part of my summer work, as I do now with Breckenridge Music.

Side note: Outdoor snow activities are new to me, but want to learn. And I am up to seventeen 14ers, currently making my way down the Collegiate Range and looking for others that want to climb the more difficult peaks.

QUICK FACTS: Q: Where were you born/raised?

A: Honolulu, Hawaii Q: Where did you receive your formal education?

A: Bacholor of Music in Performance at the University of Michigan and an Artist Diploma in Performance from the University of Cincinnati.

Q: Are there any special teachers who’ve helped you in your career?

A: Yes! Teacher and life coach Richie Hawley- former Principal Clarinetist of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and now clarinet professor at Rice University.

Q: What are some of your hobbies?

A: Hiking, recreating food from my childhood, commuting by bicycle and reading.

He joined the orchestra as Assistant Conductor in 2013 and was promoted to Associate in 2015, becoming the orchestra’s first Associate Conductor in over three decades and only the fifth in its 98 year history.

In this role, he led the orchestra in several dozen concerts each season at Severance Hall, Blossom Music Center, and on tour. Mr. Mitchell also served as the Music Director of the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra (COYO), which he recently led on a four-city tour of China, marking the ensemble’s second international tour and its first to Asia. In May, 2019 he returned to the Cleveland Orchestra to lead subscription performances of An American in Paris.

In addition to his work in Cleveland and Denver, Brett Mitchell is in consistent demand as a guest conductor. Recent and upcoming guest engagements include subscription debuts with the Minnesota Orchestra and the Dallas, San Antonio, Vancouver and New Zealand symphonies and the Orquesta Sinfonica del Principado de Asturias in Spain, as well as debuts with the Grant Park Music Festival in downtown Chicago and the Indianapolis Symphony during the orchestra’s summer festival at Conner Prairie.

He also held Assistant Conductor posts with the Orchestre National de France, where he worked under Kurt Masur from 2006 to 2009, and the Castleton Festival, where he worked under Lorin Maazel in 2009 and 2010. In 2015, Mr. Mitchell completed a highly successful five-year tenure as Music Director of the Saginaw Bay Symphony Orchestra, where an increased focus on locally relevant programming and community collaborations resulted in record attendance throughout his tenure.

As an opera conductor, Brett Mitchell has conducted nearly a dozen productions, principally during his tenure as Music Director of the Moores Opera Center in Houston, where he led eight productions from 2010 to 2013. His repertoire spans the core works of Mozart (The Marriage of Figaro and The Magic Flute), Verdi (Rigoletto and Falstaff), and Stravinsky (The Rake’s Progress), to contemporary works by Adamo (Little Women), Aldridge (Elmer Gantry), Catán (Il Postino and Salsipuedes), and Hagen (Amelia).

In addition to his work with professional orchestras, Mr. Mitchell is also well-known for his affinity for working with and mentoring highly talented young musicians aspiring to be professional orchestral players. His work with COYO during his Cleveland Orchestra tenure was
