Our founder’s vision:

IMAGINE THE INVESTMENT FIRM YOU’D CREATE FOR YOURSELF. Genesee Valley Trust is unique. By design. When our founder couldn’t find an investment firm that met his needs, he started one himself. One with all of the principles he believed in—a sincere interest in the client, no proprietary funds, and a philanthropic focus on giving back to the community. Today, these principles are still the foundation of GVT. Our goal is not merely to be your advisor, but your partner. And just like our founder, we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Dear Friends,

Welcome

from the Interim President & CEO

Welcome 2016! We are pleased to bring you a unique concert lineup for the first month of the New Year—from soaring acrobats to a live taping of a popular radio program.

rpo.org | 454-2100

Ring in the New Year with Jeff Tyzik and Cirque Musica (Jan. 8 & 9), featuring performances by some of the best cirque artists in the world. Aerial flyers, jugglers, contortionists, acrobats, dancers, and balancers are just a few of the sights to be seen onstage with your RPO. That same weekend, Michael Butterman continues our Sunday Matinee Series at Hochstein Performance Hall (Jan. 10), with Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring. You don’t want to miss the opportunity to hear Copland’s 1945 Pulitzer Prize-winning suite! Next up, Parisian conductor Fabien Gabel returns to interpret Tchaikovsky’s sixth and final symphony, “Pathétique.” Joining the RPO are returning guest soloists Karen Gomyo, violin, and Julie Albers, cello. While so many of the classic concertos only highlight one soloist, this particular Brahms composition allows two outstanding instrumentalists the chance to shine. Later this month, Ward Stare and the RPO will take to the air (waves) with a live taping of NPR’s From the Top Live with Host Christopher O’Riley (Jan. 17). As part of the RPO’s deep commitment to engage and inspire all members of our community through music, we are proud to bring this unique concert event that honors young talent to Rochester. Now in its 15th season, From the Top celebrates the stories and talents of classically trained young musicians from across the nation. The weekly hourlong radio program is heard on WXXI Classical 91.5 FM on Sundays as well as nearly 220 stations nationwide. The RPO’s taping of From the Top will air on WXXI on Sunday, February 14 at 5 PM.

Ward Stare Appointed the 12th music director of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra in July 2014, Rochester native Ward Stare has been described as “one of the hottest young conductors in America” by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Stare opened the RPO’s 2015–16 season at Kodak Hall with an evening of orchestral showstoppers, including Respighi’s Pines of Rome. Also this season at the RPO, Stare will collaborate with highly regarded guest soloists, including violinist Simone Porter, soprano Erin Wall, and worldrenowned pianists Yuja Wang and Olga Kern. Stare’s recent seasons have seen a number of highly anticipated debuts with orchestras around the world, including performances with the Baltimore Symphony, Sydney Symphony, Pittsburgh Symphony, and the Calgary Philharmonic. He made his debut with the Grant Park Music Festival in July of 2015, and returns to the New World Symphony in 2016.

2015–16 Season

Stare’s frequent collaboration with the Lyric Opera of Chicago began with his debut in 2012 conducting performances of Hansel and Gretel; he returned in 2013 to lead Die Fledermaus, and again in November 2014 to lead Porgy and Bess to rave reviews. Following his critically acclaimed debut with the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis (OTSL) in 2013 conducting Il Tabarro and Pagliacci, Stare returned to OTSL the next season for performances of Dialogues of the Carmelites. He made his debut with the Washington National Opera conducting Donizetti’s comic opera L’elisir d’amore in 2014.

RICHARD STRAUSS Serenade in E-flat Major, Op. 7 b. June 11, 1864 Munich, Germany d. September 8, 1949 Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany First performed by the RPO April 20, 1995; Peter Bay, conductor

Strauss composed this attractive one-movement piece in 1881, as a 17-year-old high school student. He scored it for pairs of flutes, oboes, clarinets, and bassoons, plus four horns and double bassoon or bass tuba. Unsurprisingly for the creation of a brilliant but immature composer, it shows numerous influences, including Mozart, Brahms, Schumann, and Mendelssohn. Still, there are traces of the mature Strauss to be heard and enjoyed throughout.

Last performed by the RPO July 24, 2014; Michael Butterman, conductor

RICHARD WAGNER Siegfried Idyll b. May 22, 1813 Leipzig, Germany d. February 13, 1883 Venice, Italy First performed by the RPO March 5, 1924; Albert Coates, conductor Last performed by the RPO May 13, 2012; Arild Remmereit, conductor

In 1866, Wagner entered into his final and most stable relationship with Cosima, daughter of his close musical ally, Franz Liszt. The tender Siegfried Idyll, based on themes from his recently completed opera, Siegfried, is his musical gift to her and their 18-month-old son, also named Siegfried. At sunrise on December 25, 1870, which was not only Christmas Day but also Cosimaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 33rd birthday, it was premiered by a small orchestra stationed on the winding staircase leading to the second floor of Triebschen, the villa where the Wagners lived on the shore of Lake Lucerne, Switzerland. This is decidedly unusual Wagner: blissful, serene, and filled with quiet joy.

GUSTAV MAHLER Blumine from Symphony No. 1 in D Major b. July 7, 1860 Kalischt, Bohemia d. May 18, 1911 Vienna, Austria This is the first performance by the RPO

Before Mahlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s First Symphony was published in 1899, he decided to discard Blumine (Flower Piece), the second of the five movements. The origin of this piece goes back to 1883, in his incidental music for a dramatization of scenes from a poem called The Trumpeter of Sakkingen. It is a nostalgic, delicately scored creation, its main theme introduced by solo trumpet.

AARON COPLAND Appalachian Spring b. November 14, 1900 Brooklyn, N.Y. d. December 2, 1990 Peekskill, N.Y. First performed by the RPO November 1, 1945; Artur Rodzinski, conductor Last performed by the RPO October 26, 2013; Larry Rachleff, conductor

During the 1930s, Copland and the celebrated choreographer Martha Graham developed a mutual sense of admiration, based on their shared interest in simple, natural expression. Their first opportunity to collaborate came when arts patron Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge commissioned Copland to write a score specifically for Graham’s company. The premiere took place on October 30, 1944. The scenario unfolds during the early 19th Century, on the site of a Pennsylvania farmhouse that has just been built as a pre-wedding gift for a young couple. Here is Copland’s own synopsis: “The bride to be and the young farmer husband enact the emotions, joyful and apprehensive, which their new domestic partnership invites…At the end the couple are left quiet and strong in their new house.” The music climaxes in a set of variations on Simple Gifts, a hymn tune associated with the Shakers, a New England religious sect. © 2015 Don Anderson.

from the stage Rebecca Gilbert, flute

In his 1990 New York Times obituary, Aaron Copland was dubbed “Dean of American Music” because of his distinctive harmonic language and vivid settings of quintessentially American subjects. In his ballet Appalachian Spring, written for Martha Graham, the storyline of the transformation of a pioneer woman and the passing of traditions, strength, and resilience is described in eight beautiful scenes. The feminine voice of the flute is featured in a very prominent role throughout the work and the flute solos are some of the loveliest and most satisfying to play in the entire repertoire.

The Charlotte Whitney Allen Chair

This is one of the first pieces I shared with my children after they were born because of the beautifully soothing and nostalgic feeling that permeates the music. The joyful, ennobling innocence in this music continues to give me great comfort on the great journey of motherhood. It makes me feel connected to the countless generations of women who have forged their own paths and, each in their own way, contributed invaluable wisdom and insight to our collective evolutionary well-being.

ALEXANDER SCRIABIN Rêverie, Op. 24 b. January 6, 1872 Moscow, Russia d. April 27, 1915 Moscow First and last performance by the RPO January 11, 1929; Eugene Goossens, conductor

Early on, Scriabin focused his energies on a career as a concert pianist. He played a great deal of his own music, which at that time was sufficiently traditional—with its echoes of Chopin and Tchaikovsky—to find widespread favor with audiences. Later he shifted his efforts primarily to composition.

Embracing philosophical concepts drawn from eastern religions and nonconformist Russian poetry, he came to think of music as a medium for the expression of his mystical beliefs, as well as a means to bring about the spiritual enlightenment of listeners. He saw himself as the purveyor of universal truth, his goal to prepare humanity for the upcoming intermingling of man and divinity. These feelings inspired him to compose music of soaring emotion, new, unusual harmonies, and immense color. Rêverie is a sweet, delicate example of his early style. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov conducted the premiere in St. Petersburg on December 5, 1898. The audience demanded and received an immediate encore. Its personality and style are highly Romantic, tinged with hints of Debussy’s Impressionism.

JOHANNES BRAHMS Concerto for Violin and Cello in A Minor, Op. 102 b. May 7, 1833 Hamburg, Germany d. April 3, 1897 Vienna, Austria First performance by the RPO January 30, 1931; Eugene Goossens, conductor Paul Kefer, cello Gustav Tinlot, violin Last performance by the RPO January 22, 2000; Christopher Seaman, conductor Stefan Reuss, cello Ilya Kaler, violin

Like Beethoven before him, Brahms thought of the concerto in fully symphonic terms, not subscribing to the flashy, empty solo vehicles written by many composers of the day. Each of his four concertos— two for piano, one for violin, and one for violin and cello—is a substantial work drawn on a large canvas. On the technical level they are actually quite demanding, but unlike so many Romantic concertos, they ask as much of their soloists’ intelligence, taste, and humanity as their fingers. Brahms and Joseph Joachim, the esteemed Hungarian violinist, conductor, and composer, enjoyed a close and productive friendship. Brahms consulted closely with Joachim during the composition of his Violin Concerto, and dedicated it to him. Joachim figured in another Brahms concerto, the one fated to be the last (it also is Brahms’ final work for orchestra).

Not long after the premiere of the Violin Concerto in 1879, Joachim’s marriage came to an end. Brahms decided to take Mrs. Joachim’s side in the split, thus alienating his friend. After several years of painful separation, Brahms set out to create a musical gesture of reconciliation. During the summer of 1887, he composed this double concerto for violin and cello, with Joachim specifically in mind. Joachim decided to accept this musical apology, although observers noted that he and Brahms never again achieved the same degree of camaraderie they had enjoyed prior to their split. The first performance took place in Cologne on October 15, 1887. Brahms conducted, with Joachim and cellist Robert Hausmann as soloists.

rpo.org | 454-2100

Johannes Brahms, continued from pg 24. The first movement contains the lion’s share of the drama. The second is sweet and songful. Brahms concludes the concerto with another of the Hungarian or (gypsy flavored) rondos that he created for several other major scores, the Violin Concerto and Piano Quartet in G Minor among them. This example is serious enough to compare favorably with the preceding movements.

PIOTR ILYICH TCHAIKOVSKY Symphony No. 6 in B Minor, Op. 74 “Pathétique” Tchaikovsky believed himself the victim of a cold, implacable fate. In the last three of his six symphonies, he depicted his struggle against it. He won some degree of victory in the fourth and fifth. But in the sixth, his greatest work (which could be taken as his last will and testament), fate reigned supreme.

b. May 7, 1840 Kamsko-Votkinsk, Russia d. November 6, 1893 St. Petersburg, Russia

He conducted the premiere himself, in St. Petersburg on October 28, 1893. It met with a puzzled reaction, especially regarding the unprecedented act of concluding a symphony with a slow movement. Nine days later Tchaikovsky was dead, perhaps by suicide. The second performance took place at his memorial service, and made a much deeper impression than the first.

First performance by the RPO March 28, 1923; Arthur Alexander, conductor Last performance by the RPO November 17, 2012; Arild Remmereit, conductor

On the day after the premiere, the composer was still searching for an appropriate title for the piece. His brother Modest suggested “pathétique,” a French word of Greek origin that is commonly used in Russian. The composer inscribed this immediately on the score. Translating it into English simply as “pathetic” reduces the original word’s undercurrent of passion and suffering. The symphony opens with a slow, mournful introduction. The expansive exposition section contrasts a restless first subject with a consoling second. The explosive start of the development heralds many pages of mounting hysteria. This section contains a musical quotation from the traditional Russian Requiem Mass, sung to the words “with thy saints, O Christ, give peace to the soul of thy servant.” It is crowned by a passage of slow, stern grandeur, where the trombones and tuba take on the roles of funeral orators. The following waltz opens with graceful contrast. However, with five beats to the bar instead of the usual three, the mood is thrown off kilter, with disturbing, bittersweet results. In the middle panel, the quiet but insistent beat of the timpani further robs the themes of their otherwise graceful nature. The third movement begins as a dynamic scherzo. Gathering momentum, it appears to become a blazing march of triumph, sweeping all before it. David Brown, author of an authoritative, four-volume biography of Tchaikovsky, takes on another view. He commented “...this march is, in fact, a deeply ironic, bitter conception—a desperate bid for happiness so prolonged and vehement that it confirms not only the desperation of the search, but also its futility.” The symphony’s slow, anguished finale confirms this view. Despite repeated protests, resignation becomes complete. A quiet stroke on the tam tam announces fate’s victory. The music sinks back into the dark depths of the orchestra where it began. © 2015 Don Anderson. All rights reserved.
