As of April 2013

The Phoenix Symphony 2012/13 SEASON

virginia g. piper music director Michael Christie The 2012/2013 Season marks Michael Christie’s eighth and final season as the Virginia G. Piper Music Director of the Phoenix Symphony. Christie also continues into his thirteenth season as Music Director of the Colorado Music Festival in Boulder. This season also marks the beginning of Maestro Christie’s tenure as the first-ever Music Director of the Minnesota Opera.

With his orchestras, he has embarked on a series of ambitious projects focusing on interdisciplinary collaborations with visual artists, dance companies, and theater groups, as well as contemporary composers such as Gorecki, Ligeti, Adams, Golijov, and Tan Dun. As a result of his innovative programming and audience cultivation, the Denver Post named Christie the 2010 “Musician of the Year.”

His 16-year symphonic conducting career is vast in scope with previous appointments including Music Director of the Brooklyn Philharmonic (2005-2010), Chief Conductor of the Queensland Orchestra (2001-2004) as well as numerous US guest appearances conducting Los Angeles Philharmonic, National Symphony Orchestra, the Symphonies of Dallas, St. Louis, Atlanta, Houston, Minnesota, Oregon, Indianapolis, and Cincinnati. European engagements include Rotterdam Philharmonic, DSO Berlin, Orchestre National de Lille, Swedish and Netherlands Radio Symphony, City of Birmingham Symphony, NDR Hannover Orchestra and the Czech Philharmonic. Maestro Christie’s New York Philharmonic debut came in March 2007 in which he stepped in for an ailing Riccardo Muti. Aside from his extensive work in the United States and Europe, Christie enjoys a strong profile in Australia, where he has conducted the Sydney Symphony, Tasmanian Symphony, Opera Queensland, and the Western Australian Symphony in Perth.

The Phoenix Symphony 2012/13 SEASON

An ever-increasing and significant facet of Maestro Christie’s career has been his work in the operatic world. As a testament to Mr. Christie’s increasing operatic notoriety, he was recently featured in the August 2012 issue of Opera News as one of twenty-five people believed “to break out and become major forces in the field in the coming decade.”

This season, as Minnesota Opera’s Music Director, Christie is at the helm of productions of Nabucco (Verdi), Anna Bolena (Donizetti), and Turandot (Puccini). Other operatic engagements this season include February performances of Silent Night (Puts) with Opera Company of Philadelphia.

Maestro Christie closes his season with world premiere performances of Mark Adamo’s The Gospel of Mary Magdalene with San Francisco Opera.

Notable past engagements include various performances at Opernhaus Zürich and Finnish National Opera, greatly acclaimed performances of Corigliano’s The Ghosts of Versailles, John Adams’s The Death of Klinghoffer, and the North American premiere of Unsuk Chin’s Alice in Wonderland with Opera Theatre of St. Louis, the European premiere of Corigliano’s Ghosts of Versailles at the Wexford Festival Opera, Minnesota Opera performances of Verdi’s La traviata, Bernard Herrmann’s Wuthering Heights, Puccini’s Madame Butterfly, and the world premiere of Kevin Puts’ Silent Night, which was awarded the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Music.

Michael Christie first came to international attention in 1995 when he was awarded a special prize for“Outstanding Potential”at the First International Sibelius Conductors’ Competition in Helsinki.

Following the competition, he was invited to become an apprentice conductor with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra where he subsequently worked with Daniel Barenboim as well as at the Berlin State Opera during the 1996-1997 season.

Michael graduated from the Oberlin College Conservatory of Music with a bachelor’s degree in trumpet performance. He is married to Alexis, a physician, and they have a daughter, Sinclair, born in 2008.

guest artists Edwin Outwater, conductor One of North America’s most creative, dynamic, and engaging conductors, Edwin Outwater is music director of the KitchenerWaterloo Symphony in Ontario, Canada.

Now in his fifth season, he has revitalized the orchestra and gained international attention for his innovative projects and brilliant performances. This season the KitchenerWaterloo Symphony released its first commercial recording in over 10 years, From Here On Out, featuring the music of Nico Muhly, Jonny Greenwood, and Richard Reed Parry (a KWS commission) on the Analekta label. The orchestra’s Intersections series has been widely praised for linking orchestral music to diverse musical genres and other creative disciplines.

This season, Mr. Outwater returns to the Chicago Symphony, Toronto Symphony, Indianapolis Symphony, New World Symphony, the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, and the Orquestra Nacional do Porto. In the United States, Mr. Outwater has also conducted the New York and Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestras, as well as the symphony orchestras of San Francisco, Baltimore, Houston, Detroit, Seattle, and many others. In Canada, he has conducted the National Arts Centre Orchestra, as well as the symphonies of Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Victoria. This season, he conducts Amahl and the Night Visitors at Lincoln Center with the Little Orchestra Society of New York. He has participated as Associate Conductor in both YouTube Symphony projects, at Carnegie Hall and the Sydney Opera House.

Edwin Outwater was Resident Conductor of the San Francisco Symphony from 20012006. While there, he worked closely with Michael Tilson Thomas, accompanied the orchestra on tour and conducted numerous TPS6

concerts each season.

From 2001-2005 Mr. Outwater was Wattis Foundation Music Director of the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra. During his tenure, he led the orchestra in all of their concerts as well as on tour to Europe in the summer of 2004.

During the tour, the orchestra made its debut at Vienna’s Musikverein, the Théâtre des ChampsÉlysées in Paris, and returned to Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw. Before joining the San Francisco Symphony, Mr. Outwater served as Resident Conductor and Associate Guest Conductor of the Florida Philharmonic. He has also held posts as Associate Conductor of the Festival-Institute at Round Top (a renowned music-training program based in Texas), Principal Conductor of the Adriatic Chamber Music Festival in Molise, Italy, and Assistant Conductor of the Tulsa Philharmonic.

Mr. Outwater’s work in music education and community outreach has been widely acclaimed. In 2004 his education programs at the San Francisco Symphony were given the Leonard Bernstein award for excellence in educational programming, and his Chinese New Year Program was given the MetLife award for community outreach. In Kitchener-Waterloo Mr. Outwater redesigned the orchestra’s education series and initiated myriad community connections. At the San Francisco Symphony, he conducted Family Concerts, Adventures in Music

The Phoenix Symphony 2012/13 SEASON

performances, which are heard by more than 25,000 students from San Francisco schools each year, and Concerts for Kids, which serve students from throughout Northern California. In Florida, Mr. Outwater designed the Florida Philharmonic Family Series and its Music for Youth program, which was heard annually by more than 40,000 fifth-grade students in South Florida.

Mr. Outwater has served as music director of the Santa Barbara Youth Symphony, and has been on the faculties of the University of Tulsa, the Idyllwild Arts Academy, and the University of California, Santa Barbara.

A native of Santa Monica, California, Edwin Outwater attended Harvard University, graduating cum laude in 1993 with a degree in English literature. While at Harvard, he was music director of the Bach Society Orchestra, the Harvard Din and Tonics (an acclaimed a cappella group), and wrote the music for the 145th annual production of the Hasty Pudding Theatricals. He received his master’s degree in conducting from UC Santa Barbara, where he studied with Heiichiro Ohyama, and Paul Polivinick. He also studied music theory and composition with John Stewart, Joel Feigin, and Leonard Stein.

William Wolfram, piano American pianist William Wolfram was a silver medalist at both the William Kapell and the Naumburg International Piano Competitions, and a bronze medalist at the prestigious Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in Moscow. A versatile recitalist, concerto soloist, and chamber musician, he has won the respect of musicians and critics across the country and abroad. Wolfram has several recordings on the Naxos label, has played recitals in cities throughout the U.S., Asia and Europe, and has performed with dozens of the finest orchestras in the world.

His concerto debut with the Pittsburgh Symphony under the baton of Leonard Slatkin was the first in a long succession

The Phoenix Symphony 2012/13 SEASON

of appearances and career relationships with numerous American conductors and orchestras. He has appeared with the San Francisco, Saint Louis, Indianapolis, Seattle and New Jersey symphonies, the Buffalo Philharmonic, the National Symphony, the Florida Orchestra, and the Grand Teton and San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival orchestras, among many others. He enjoys regular and ongoing close associations with the Dallas Symphony, the Milwaukee Symphony, and the Minnesota Orchestra.

Conductors with whom he has worked include Jerzy Semkow, Joseph Silverstein, Mark Wigglesworth, Jeffrey Tate, Vladimir Spivakov, Gerard Schwarz, Carlos Miguel Prieto, Jeffrey Kahane, James Judd, Roberto Minczuk, Stefan Sanderling, JoAnn Falletta, James Paul, and Carlos Kalmar. Abroad, Wolfram has appeared with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, the Warsaw, Moscow, and Budapest philharmonics, the Capetown and Johannesberg symphonies of South Africa, L’Orchestre de Bretagne, the orchestras of Thailand and Singapore, and the National Symphony of Peru.

An enthusiastic supporter of new music, he has collaborated with and performed music by composers such as Aaron Jay Kernis, Kenneth Frazelle, Marc Andre Dalbavie, Kenji Bunch, and Paul Chihara. His world premiere performance of the Chihara re-orchestration of Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 1, with the Milwaukee Symphony under the baton of Andreas Delfs, was met with great critical attention and acclaim.

Wolfram has extensive

TPS7

experience in the recording studio. For the Albany label, he recorded the piano concertos of Edward Collins with Marin Alsop and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Wolfram has recorded, and continues to record, the solo piano music of Franz Liszt for Naxos records. These recordings include Liszt’s rarely heard Etudes en douze exercices, as well as opera transcriptions of both Donizetti and Bellini.

Wolfram was the focus of a full chapter in Joseph Horowitz’s book, The Ivory Trade: Music and the Business of Music at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.

On television, he was a featured pianist in the documentary of the 1986 Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition.

A graduate of The Juilliard School, William Wolfram resides in New York City with his wife and two daughters.

about the music Wish You Were Here Nico Muhly (b. 1981) “I’ve always suspected that cartoons and illustrations do a better job capturing the emotional content of the unknown than pictures and first-hand narration. I have a picture in my head of the illustrators of the 1940s and 1950, holed up in Belgium drawing the tribal peoples of the Congo, or in California articulating gorgeous Arabian landscapes for early animated films, participating along the way in all of the politically charged problems that arise from empires, colonies, and the abuses of political power. There is something inherently romantic about willfully ignoring the complexities of drawing on sources; artists who ignore political overtones go on to inspire the next generation who, in turn, worry about them too much, and so on and so forth in an unending cycle of guilt and influence. Wish You Were Here, written for the Boston Pops, pays homage to Colin McPhee, one of the first western musicologists to study Balinese gamelan, as well as to the great illustrators Carl Barks and Hergé (responsible for Donald Duck & Tintin, respectively). I tried to write a completely romantic and fanciful gamelaninfluenced piece, attempting nothing but the most superficial authenticity. On top TPS8

of this twittery and excited music, a long, lonesome melody unfolds. After a desolate interlude with severe, ship’s-horn brass, the energetic patterns start again, and the long line returns, this time with a triumphant, revelatory ending.” Nico Muhly

Piano Concerto No. 2 in A Major for Piano and Orchestra, S. 125 Franz Liszt (1811-1886) Originally titled Concerto Symphonique, Liszt’s second piano concerto took 22 years and at least four revisions to reach its final form in 1861. It is a unified, singlemovement work, comparable in structure to his tone poems. And in contrast to its predecessor, the athletic Concerto No.1 in E-flat, it is said to be “for poets only.”

For most of the A Major concerto the piano remains subdued, working in true partnership with the orchestra. Only near the end does the soloist dominate.

The concerto opens with a dreamy theme in the woodwinds including an unusual chord progression that serves as the basis for the whole work and undergoes many transformations in mood, rhythm, key and tempo. Thematic transformation was one of Liszt’s favorite techniques for achieving

The Phoenix Symphony 2012/13 SEASON

musical unity in a work. It involved making significant changes to the theme while retaining its basic shape and identity. A snide critic once commented that, if the concerto were given “a poetic or dramatic title, it might have been something like The Life and Adventures of a Melody.”

Indeed, the concerto’s principal theme is analogous to the stages of life: childhood, youth, adulthood, and old age. While the concerto is written in only one movement, the shifts in tempo, in addition to a couple of cadenzas, provide the musical contrast common in multi-movement works.

The response to the inevitable question of the distinction between thematic transformation and variation involves a certain amount of nitpicking. Generally, variations retain the phrasing and harmonic structure of the original theme, and most often—but not always—a binary structure of which each strain is repeated. Thematic transformation is more like changes in a theme during the development section of a sonata-allegro form, and it is this latter model that Liszt expands upon.

The originality of Liszt’s transformations is their emotive, sometimes programmatic, function. A set of variations would present one new aspect of the theme after another.

In this concerto, Liszt provides long transitions of entirely new music setting up harmonic tension before resolving into the next iteration of the theme. At other times, he disguises the theme, sending it underground as an accompaniment.

One of the most memorable sections occurs in the equivalent of a slow movement, where the cello with delicate piano accompaniment takes up a hauntingly beautiful transformation of the theme. After a series of further mood swings, from selfaggrandizement to pathos, the work ends with a march-like statement of the theme and a bombastic finale.

The Phoenix Symphony 2012/13 SEASON

Symphony No. 5 in B-flat Major, Op. 100 Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953) Following the German invasion of Russia in 1941, prominent Soviet artists, including Sergei Prokofiev, were evacuated from Moscow. They were relocated first to the Caucasus and later, when that area became endangered, further east into Central Asia and Siberia. All these wanderings, however, did not hinder Prokofiev from accomplishing a prodigious amount of work: music for the film Ivan the Terrible and four others, the opera War and Peace, the Second String Quartet, the Seventh and Eighth Piano Sonatas, the ballet Cinderella, and the Flute Sonata.

With the turn in the fortunes of the war in the winter 1943-44, Prokofiev was able to return to Moscow and immediately set about composing his Symphony No. 5. It was a time of national elation as the Soviet Union anticipated the impending victory over Nazi Germany. The composer considered the work a milestone: “I was returning to the symphonic form after a break of sixteen years. The Fifth Symphony is the culmination of an entire period in my work. I conceived it as a symphony on the greatness of the human soul.” Whether this comment represents his true intent or a statement for official consumption we will never know.

Mindful of the Soviet authorities, who maintained tight control of all the arts, Prokofiev, like Shostakovich, composed this symphony in the patriotic, “officiallysanctioned” language that he had used in the dramatic works of the late 1930s and early 1940s: the film scores Alexander Nevsky and Ivan the Terrible, and the opera War and Peace. His model was Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5, in which traditional symphonic structure, broad dramatic themes and conservative harmonies—the “Soviet reality” demanded by the authorities —still allowed for adequate personal expression.

TPS9

Prokofiev conducted the premiere of Symphony No. 5 in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory on January 13, 1945, in what turned out to be his last appearance as a conductor and one of the most dramatic premieres ever. Everybody who was anybody was in the audience.

The event is best described in the words of pianist Sviatoslav Richter: “The Great Hall was illuminated, no doubt, as it always was, but when Prokofiev stood up, the light seemed to pour straight down on him from somewhere up above. He stood like a monument on a pedestal. And then, when Prokofiev had taken his place on the podium and silence reigned in the hall, artillery salvos suddenly thundered forth.

His baton was raised. He waited, and began only after the cannons had stopped. There was something very significant in this— something symbolic.” The salvo was a tribute to the Red Army, which that day had crossed the Vistula in its march into Germany. A few days later Prokofiev suffered a fall and concussion, never to regain his full health.

Like Shostakovich, Prokofiev’s stock declined in the West during the period of the Cold War, not so much with music directors and the public, but rather in the music academies, where strict atonality and austere twelve-tone works of Schoenberg and his disciples of the Second Viennese School reigned supreme. The issue was less one of political ideology than musical; the trend-setting composers of the West regarded the tonal, melodic style of the Russians as passé in the relentless onward progression of “serious” music.

The eminently singable themes of the Fifth Symphony have made it, along with the First, the most popular of Prokofiev’s instrumental works. It is one of the symphonic repertory’s most dazzlingly orchestrated works with wonderful solos, section soli and brilliant percussion writing.

As befitted the occasion, the symphony opens with a grand andante movement with a sweeping main theme supported by the timpani and brass that overpowers the lighter subsidiary themes.

The second movement provides a sharp contrast, a scherzo marked allegro marcato that consists of two main themes which are passed around the orchestra. The trio, featuring the upper winds, temporarily slows the pace, but a new theme brings in more orchestral solos. The brilliantly dramatic transition back to the scherzo begins slowly, gradually accelerating and restating increasingly longer bits of the theme.

Like Mozart and Shostakovich, Prokofiev was a master of the gut-wrenching slow movement. But the Adagio of the Fifth Symphony is not an intimate expression; in its formality it is more funereal, perhaps recalling the millions of the Russian fallen.

It is in conventional ABA form, the first part a gentle, sinuous extended phrase over pianissimo triplets in the violins with cellos basses bowed to sound like deep Russian church bells. The second section includes the first instance in this work of typically Russian folk-like themes and builds to a climax with the sound of the tolling bells.

The return to the first theme is varied but recaptures the contemplative mood of the opening.

A quiet reprise of the opening of the symphony serves as an introduction to the finale, an exultant celebration. While the first part of the movement is subdued, it is clear that the composer has deliberately withheld the biggest sound for last. The coda alone lasts a full two minutes, a buildup of tension using a gradual crescendo that adds more and more instruments, delayed harmonic resolution and an unexpected final pianissimo—all over an ostinato in the violins and upper winds—leading up to the final “big bang.”

The Phoenix Symphony 2012/13 SEASON

guest artist Idina Menzel, vocalist Tony-Award Winning Broadway powerhouse Idina Menzel has a diverse career on the stage, in film and television, and in music.

Menzel, lauded for her strong yet emotional performances, recently culminated a highly successful international orchestra tour. Accompanied by world-renowned symphonies, Menzel played to sold-out audiences and demonstrated why she is one of the great performers of her time. The Denver Post dubbed her “The Streisand of her generation,” while The New York Times praised Menzel as “an entertainer with a phenomenal voice…

Diana Ross with ten times the stamina and lung power.” In March, Menzel released a CD and DVD entitled “Idina Menzel Live: Barefoot at the Symphony,” a live concert with an orchestra led by legendary composer/ conductor Marvin Hamlisch, filmed at The Royal Conservatory’s Koerner Hall in Toronto, Canada. The concert also aired nationally on PBS stations.

Garnering huge critical acclaim, Menzel reached superstardom on Broadway with her Tony Award-winning performance as Elphaba, the misunderstood green girl, in the blockbuster WICKED and in her Tony-nominated role as Maureen in the revolutionary RENT. This season, Menzel reprised her role on “Glee,” FOX’s smash hit television series, as Shelby Corcoran, Rachel’s biological mother. A skillful songwriter, Menzel also performs and records her own music. With three albums to her credit, she toured nationally last year, playing to soldout houses to promote her most recent The Phoenix Symphony 2012/13 SEASON

effort, “I Stand,” which was produced by Glen Ballard and released by Warner Bros. Records.

On Broadway, in addition to WICKED and RENT, Menzel appeared as Sheila in the Encores! production of HAIR and starred as Amneris in Broadway’s AIDA. In London, she premiered the Broadway hit WICKED in the West End and received the Theatregoers Choice Award for Best Actress in a Musical.

She also starred in Michael John LaChiusa’s musical SEE WHAT I WANNA SEE directed by Ted Sperling at The Public Theater. Other OffBroadway credits include the pre-Broadway, production of RENT and THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES. Menzel’s film credits include Disney’s romantic fable, Enchanted where she appeared opposite Susan Sarandon, Patrick Dempsey and Amy Adams; Rent, in which she reprised her role as Maureen; and a co-starring role in Robert Towne’s Ask the Dust, opposite Salma Hayek and Colin Farrell. She will next be heard on the big screen in Disney’s animated feature Frozen, a tale in which a young girl Anna (voice by Kristen Belle), embarks on a journey to find the Snow Queen (voice by Idina Menzel) in order to help save the kingdom from eternal winter. The film is set to release in theaters in November 2013.

Philanthropy is also important to Menzel who created the A BroaderWay Foundation in 2010 with her husband Taye Diggs. This organization is dedicated to offering girls from underserved communities an outlet for self-expression and creativity through arts-centered programs. The emphasis is on building self-esteem, developing leadership qualities and striving for personal and social achievement.

LOCATION

"A rusted and dented trombone means very little to most people, but to me it symbolizes perseverance over discrimination and imprisonment. This might seem like a lot to say about a trombone, but this particular woodwind hung over the door of George Kishiyama’s office at the flower garden he opened after being released from the Poston Internment Camp where he and his family were interned during World War II. The Kishiyama’s, like many other Japanese-American’s interned in Arizona, stayed after the war and made Phoenix their home, becoming an important part of the community and creating beauty in the desert. This trombone might no longer be able to play music, but it can still tell a story."

A growing body of research supports the many benefits arts engagement provides to a student’s education including academic achievement, leadership, social competencies and creative problem solving. These studies provide a compelling correlation between early arts learning and a young person’s motivation to learn by emphasizing active social engagement, disciplined and sustained attention, persistence and risk taking. Further benefits include increased self-confidence, self-control, conflict resolution, peer collaboration, co abo a on empa empathy hy and soc social a tolerance. o e ance Unfortunately, percent of Un o una e y less ess than han fifty y pe cen o Arizona publicc schoo schoolss p provide A zona pub ov de integrated n eg a ed artss educa education curriculum with budget a on in n the he cu cu um w h budge constraints barrier cons a n s identified den ed as the he ba e for o participation. pa c pa on year, Ac Act One Founda Foundation Now in n itss second yea on continues address con nues to o add ess this h s need and respond compelling evidence espond to o the he compe ng ev dence to o difference of A Arizona’s make a d e ence in n the he lives ves o zona s Foundation provides sstudents. uden s The Founda on p ov des resources underserved schoolss to esou ces to o unde se ved schoo o take ake part in academically enriching artss learning pa n academ ca y en ch ng a ea n ng opportunities educational oppo un es through h ough educa ona field ed trips visual performing arts.

I’m an artistic person who has always been in good health. Now, I have found a creative solution to stay that way. My answer was Mayo Clinic.

Melany Terranova, Artist Scottsdale, AZ To take control of her health, Melany joined the Medallion Program, a unique service that provides direct access to her physician 24 hours per day/7 days per week. Even though she is in good health, she now takes greater accountability for maintaining it, speaking with her doctor about issues ranging from prevention to lifestyle to nutrition and more. The Medallion Program is one of the many innovative ways Mayo Clinic cares for patients. For more information, please visit mayoclinic.org/medallion-program or call (480) 614-6030.
