WELCOME!

Summer evokes so many traditions—from fireworks celebrations and picnics to a restorative opportunity to get away and focus on the people who make our lives fuller. Here in Los Angeles, summer also means music. This season, we are thrilled to present a wide array of exciting jazz, rock, pop, and some stellar concerts with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Whether you’re hearing Maxwell or Mendelssohn, we believe each night o ers a chance to share in great music and—just as importantly—community.

As remarkable as what happens on the Hollywood Bowl’s stage can be, what has made the Bowl a beloved Angeleno tradition often occurs where you’re sitting now: sharing time with family, making new friends over food and a favorite song, building community with those around us season after season. We’ve been so touched to have many of you share your personal Bowl stories and favorite traditions with us over these years, and we’re grateful to be part of how you experience summer in Los Angeles.

COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION A MESSAGE

FROM DIRECTOR NORMA EDITH GARCÍA-GONZALEZ

The Hollywood Bowl is a worldclass venue in a beautiful setting.

I am proud that the Bowl is a part of the County of Los Angeles Department of Parks and Recreation (LA County Parks) system. When the Los Angeles Philharmonic and other performers are not onstage, the Hollywood Bowl is open to the public for recreation and exercise.

LA County Parks and the LA Phil partner to enhance the dual role of the Hollywood Bowl as a public park and a world-class performance venue. The Hollywood Bowl o ers a magnificent park where visitors can stroll, bring out-of-town guests, take pictures in front of the iconic shell, and learn about the Bowl’s history at the on-site museum. The Hollywood Bowl is also the perfect setting for a great workout, with exercise enthusiasts taking advantage of the steps throughout the park.

The Hollywood Bowl never falls short of o ering a dynamic summer concert series creating memories and experiences for families, friends, and visitors alike. Summer at the Bowl is certainly a time of excitement, not only for music lovers but also for those who work behind the scenes to make it a memorable experience for all.

The 2023 Hollywood Bowl season features diverse music and exceptional performances for all ages and music enthusiasts. This summer’s lineup includes the hallmark Classical Tuesdays and Thursdays, Weekend Spectaculars—including Quincy Jones’ 90th-Birthday Tribute—and of course the annual July Fourth Fireworks Spectacular.

LA County Parks and the LA Phil have also partnered to support the Hollywood Bowl access program by providing youth and older adults the opportunity to experience the magic of the Bowl. This partnership serves to further strengthen the commitment of the LA County Board of Supervisors and LA County Parks to access for all!

GUSTAVO DUDAMEL

Gustavo Dudamel is driven by the belief that music has the power to transform lives, to inspire, and to change the world. Through his dynamic presence on the podium and his tireless advocacy for arts education, Dudamel has introduced classical music to new audiences around the globe and has helped to provide access to the arts for countless people in underserved communities. He currently serves as the Music & Artistic Director, Walt and Lilly Disney Chair, of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Music Director of the Opéra National de Paris and Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra.

Dudamel’s bold programming and expansive vision led The New York Times to herald the LA Phil as “the most important orchestra in America—period.” In the 2022/23 season, Dudamel and the LA Phil continued their visionary, multiyear Pan-American Music Initiative and celebrated the 90th birthday of legendary film composer John Williams with a Gala event. Further highlights with the LA Phil included a fall tour with performances at Carnegie Hall, Boston, and Mexico City and Guanajuato as part of the Cervantino Festival; a multi-week exploration of the piano/orchestral works of Rachmanino with Yuja Wang; and the return of Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde, directed by Peter Sellars, with video by Bill Viola.

Following his inaugural season as Music Director of the Paris Opera, the 2022/23 season featured Dudamel leading productions of Puccini’s Tosca, Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde, a new production of John Adams’ Nixon in China, and Thomas Adès’ Dante Project, choreographed by Wayne McGregor. Dudamel has led over 30 staged and semi-staged operas as well as concert productions across the world’s major stages, including five productions with Teatro alla Scala,

productions at the Berlin and Vienna State Operas, the Metropolitan Opera in New York, and 13 operas in Los Angeles, with repertoire ranging from Così fan tutte to Carmen, from Otello to Tannhäuser, from West Side Story to contemporary operas by composers like John Adams and Oliver Knussen. In April 2022, Dudamel conducted the LA Phil and a star-studded cast in a new production of Beethoven’s opera Fidelio, produced in collaboration with Los Angeles’ Tony Award-winning Deaf West Theatre, Deaf performers of El Sistema Venezuela’s Coro de Manos Blancas (White Hands Choir), and the Dudamel Foundation.

Dudamel’s advocacy for the power of music to unite, heal, and inspire is global in scope. Shaped by his own training as a young musician, Dudamel with the LA Phil and its community partners founded YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles) in 2007, now providing 1,700 young people with free instruments, intensive music instruction, academic support, and leadership training. In October 2021, YOLA opened its first permanent, purpose-built facility: The Judith and Thomas L. Beckmen YOLA Center at Inglewood, designed by architect Frank Gehry. Dudamel also created the

Dudamel Foundation in 2012 with the goal “to expand access to music and the arts for young people by providing tools and opportunities to shape their creative futures.”

One of the few classical musicians to become a bona fide pop-culture phenomenon, Dudamel was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2019, joining Hollywood greats as well as musical luminaries such as Leonard Bernstein, Duke Ellington, and Arturo Toscanini. He conducted the score to Steven Spielberg’s new film adaptation of Bernstein’s West Side Story and starred as the subject of the documentary ¡Viva Maestro!

Dudamel’s extensive, multipleGrammy Award-winning discography numbers 65 releases, including recent Deutsche Grammophon LA Phil recordings of Mahler’s Symphony No. 8, which won the Grammy for Best Choral Performance, and the complete Charles Ives symphonies and Andrew Norman’s Sustain, which both won the Grammy Award for Best Orchestral Performance.

“THE RARE CLASSICAL ARTIST TO HAVE CROSSED INTO POP-CULTURE CELEBRITY.” — The New York Times’ Zachary Woolfe and Laura Cappelle

WHERE L.A. COMES TO

Summertime is for celebrating occasions big and small. Whether it’s a birthday, baby shower, wedding or long weekend, Marina del Rey’s waterfront hotels, restaurants, and party yachts set the stage for unforgettable events.

LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC

The Los Angeles Philharmonic, under the vibrant leadership of Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel, presents an inspiring array of music through a commitment to foundational works and adventurous explorations. Both at home and abroad, the LA Phil—recognized as one of the world’s outstanding orchestras—is leading the way in groundbreaking and diverse programming, onstage and in the community, that reflects the orchestra’s artistry and demonstrates its vision. The 2022/23 season is the orchestra’s 104th. Nearly 300 concerts are either performed or presented by the LA Phil at its three iconic venues: the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall, The Ford, and the famed Hollywood Bowl. During its winter season at Walt Disney Concert Hall, with approximately 165 performances, the LA Phil creates festivals, artist residencies, and other thematic programs designed to enhance the audience’s experience of orchestral music. Since 1922, its summer home has been the worldfamous Hollywood Bowl, host to the finest artists from all genres of music. Situated in a 32-acre

park and under the stewardship of the LA Phil since December 2019, The Ford presents an eclectic summer season of music, dance, film, and family events that are reflective of the communities that comprise Los Angeles.

The orchestra’s involvement with Los Angeles extends far beyond its venues. Among its influential and multifaceted learning initiatives is YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles). Through YOLA, inspired by Gustavo Dudamel’s own training as a young musician, the LA Phil and its community partners provide free instruments, intensive music training, and academic support to over 1,700 young musicians, empowering them to become vital citizens, leaders, and agents of change. In the fall of 2021, YOLA opened its own permanent, purpose-built facility: the Judith and Thomas L. Beckmen YOLA Center at Inglewood, designed by Frank Gehry.

The orchestra also undertakes tours, both domestically and internationally, including regular visits to New York, London (where the orchestra is the Barbican Centre’s International Orchestral Partner), Paris, and Tokyo. As part of its global Centennial activities, the orchestra visited Seoul, Tokyo, Mexico City,

London, Boston, and New York. The LA Phil’s first tour was in 1921, and the orchestra has made annual tours since the 1969/70 season.

The LA Phil has released an array of critically acclaimed recordings, including world premieres of the music of John Adams and Louis Andriessen, along with Grammy Award-winning recordings featuring the music of Johannes Brahms, Charles Ives, and Andrew Norman. Deutsche Grammophon has released a comprehensive box set in honor of the orchestra’s centennial.

The Los Angeles Philharmonic was founded in 1919 by William Andrews Clark, Jr., a wealthy amateur musician. Walter Henry Rothwell became its first Music Director, serving until 1927; since then, 10 renowned conductors have served in that capacity. Their names are Georg Schnéevoigt (1927-1929), Artur Rodziński (1929-1933), Otto Klemperer (1933-1939), Alfred Wallenstein (1943-1956), Eduard van Beinum (1956-1959), Zubin Mehta (1962-1978), Carlo Maria Giulini (1978-1984), André Previn (1985-1989), Esa-Pekka Salonen (1992-2009), and Gustavo Dudamel (2009-present).

HOLLYWOOD BOWL ORCHESTRA

The Hollywood Bowl Orchestra is composed of approximately 65 regular players, an international mix of classically trained musicians who are among the best studio musicians in Los Angeles. Many spend their days on Hollywood’s scoring stages. It might be surprising to learn that there is no overlap between the musicians of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra—another indicator that LA has a tremendous pool of musical talent.

Musicians have been performing at the Hollywood Bowl since its opening in 1922. “Bowl Orchestra” was used as early as 1925, and “Hollywood Bowl Orchestra” appeared on live recordings made in 1928. Leopold Stokowski was Music Director of the Hollywood

Bowl Symphony Orchestra from 1945 to 1946. During this time, the Orchestra recorded a number of classical works. In the 1950s and 1960s, Capitol Records issued an extensive series of recordings of the Hollywood Bowl Symphony Orchestra with a number of different conductors, including Carmen Dragon, Felix Slatkin, Alfred Newman, and Miklós Rózsa, with album titles such as Rhapsody Under the Stars, Chopin by Starlight, Fiesta!, Marche!, and many others.

From the 1950s on, there was no official Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, until it reappeared in 1991, under the auspices of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association, as a completely new ensemble under the direction of Principal Conductor John Mauceri. After retiring from the orchestra in 2006, Mauceri

was awarded the lifelong title of Founding Director of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. In 2008, Thomas Wilkins began an appointment as Principal Guest Conductor of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. In June 2014, he became Principal Conductor of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, in which position he continues to lead the ensemble each summer in a diverse range of concerts at the fabled outdoor venue.

From Mozart to Motown, the repertoire of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra is as diverse as Hollywood itself. In a single season, the orchestra may perform everything from Broadway favorites to film music, pop music to jazz, and classical music to world premieres by living composers. In essence, the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra does it all.

YOLA

Through YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles), inspired by Gustavo Dudamel’s own training as a young musician, the LA Phil and its community partners provide free instruments, intensive music training, and academic support to over 1,700 young musicians, empowering them to become vital citizens, leaders, and agents of change. YOLA provides players aged 6-18 with a strong musical and social foundation through participation in 12 to 15 hours of programming each week.

Sixteen years ago, the LA Phil and its community partners launched YOLA with 80 students at the EXPO Center in South LA. Today, there are five sites: in South LA, the Rampart District, Westlake/MacArthur Park, East LA, and Inglewood. YOLA engages players from more than 200 schools in culturally vibrant and ethnically diverse communities across LA County. Music study is complemented by leadership development opportunities, workshops, and performances. YOLA’s young musicians have performed on great stages all over the world, including the LA Phil’s iconic venues—the Hollywood Bowl and Walt Disney Concert Hall—and in many other locations throughout

Southern California, on national and international television broadcasts, and alongside the greatest artists.

On October 15, 2021, the Los Angeles Philharmonic opened the

Judith and Thomas L. Beckmen

YOLA Center at Inglewood, designed by Gehry Partners, LLC, the first permanent, purpose-built facility for YOLA.

YOLA IN THE SPOTLIGHT

As a member of the musically famed Jackson family, Janet Jackson launched her storied career at the age of only seven.

At the Hollywood Bowl’s Opening Night Gala in June, she was joined by another group of young artists who show that age is not a barrier for shining on the biggest stages: musicians from YOLA.

Founded in 2007 by Gustavo Dudamel, the LA Phil, and community organizations, YOLA (Youth Orchestra Los Angeles) offers free instruments, up to 18 hours of weekly music instruction, academic support, and leadership training to 1,700 young musicians aged 6 to 18 at five sites across Los Angeles.

¡BIENVENIDO GUSTAVO!

In Gustavo Dudamel’s first concert as Music Director for the Los Angeles Philharmonic, ¡Bienvenido Gustavo! was a free community event at the Hollywood Bowl and included a performance by musicians from YOLA.

GLOBAL SOUL

As an integral part of the LA Phil’s mission to make music accessible, these musicians go on tours with the orchestra and audition for performance opportunities.

Here’s a look back at just some of the high-profile stages these remarkable artists have played on in the program’s first 16 years.

Stevie Wonder headed a celebration of soul music in its many forms, featuring musicians from around the world. The night closed with musicians from YOLA joining Wonder and other artists for Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On.”

JUANES

As part of the America & Americans festival, Colombian superstar Juanes performed two nights at the Hollywood Bowl, which included an entire set accompanied by the YOLA at EXPO Chamber Orchestra.

SIMÓN BOLÍVAR SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

The Mahler Project saw Gustavo Dudamel lead both his present orchestra and the orchestra he grew up with—the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela—in all nine Mahler symphonies in the space of just two weeks. As part of this, the SBSOV performed a side-by-side concert with YOLA.

LONDON TOUR

Starting with the London tour, the LA Phil began regularly bringing YOLA on its travels. In 2013, musicians from YOLA participated in the Take a Stand Symposium at the Barbican Centre, which focuses on social change through music.

JAPAN

Following the Fukushima nuclear disaster of 2011, 15 YOLA students and Gustavo Dudamel traveled as goodwill ambassadors to the coastal town, performing with members of El Sistema Japan.

HOLLYWOOD BOWL 100

The Hollywood Bowl marked its 100th season, and YOLA musicians joined Gwen Stefani for opening night and a rehearsal at the Beckmen YOLA Center.

The LA Phil Affiliates are members of the Los Angeles community who dedicate their time and efforts to support the mission of the LA Phil through volunteer service, community engagement, and fundraising.

The Affiliates’ story began 100 years ago, when the Los Angeles Philharmonic Women’s Committee was organized under the leadership of Honorary Chair Bessie Bartlett Frankel. A composer and champion of chamber music, Frankel spent the next 50 years supporting the LA Phil and music in Los Angeles. “Music can hardly be considered in

the category of amusements,” she wrote in a 1923 letter. “It is an educational force.”

Throughout the last century, the Women’s Committee that Frankel founded has grown outward across Southern California into 16 Affiliate Committees composed of more than 750 LA Phil supporters.

Today’s Affiliate Chair, Marian Hall, encourages all

LA Phil fans to join their local committee: “From my personal experience, I found that I met others who share the love of music. I’ve made great friends while also contributing to the arts and raising funds. Together, we will ensure that Los Angeles continues to have a world-class orchestra that leads the way with groundbreaking programming.”

NIGHT ON BALD MOUNTAIN Modest Mussorgsky (1839–1881)

Mussorgsky tried many times to write the music that we know today as Night on Bald Mountain, and he never got it into satisfactory form. He first had the idea for this music in 1860, when at age 21 he thought about writing an opera based on Gogol’s story St. John’s Eve Soon this turned into plans for a one-act opera based on Baron Mengden’s play The Witches, and at the center of both of these was to be a horrifying witches’ sabbath. But these plans for a stage work came to nothing. Then in 1867 Mussorgsky told RimskyKorsakov that he had completed what he called a “tone-picture” for orchestra, now titled St. John’s Night on the Bare Mountain. He was very proud of this music, saying that he considered “this wicked prank of mine a really Russian and original achievement, quite free from German profundity and routine, born...on Russian soil and nurtured on Russian corn.”

And then to Rimsky-Korsakov, Mussorgsky made a defiant statement that would prove

spectacularly wrong: “Let it clearly be understood...that I shall never start remodeling it; with whatever shortcomings it is born, and with them it must live if it is to live at all.” This high resolve lasted until Mussorgsky’s mentor Mily Balakirev saw the score, savaged it, and refused to allow it to be performed.

Badly stung, Mussorgsky set the manuscript aside. He liked the music well enough that he kept reworking it, but he never heard any of these versions before he died of alcohol poisoning in a Moscow sanitarium at age 42.

In the years after his death, the composer’s friends tried to get his chaotic manuscripts into performing order, and in 1886 Rimsky-Korsakov turned to the St. John’s Eve music. Instead of simply going back to Mussorgsky’s purely orchestral version of 1867, Rimsky felt free to draw upon the music in all of its subsequent incarnations: “When I started putting it in order with the intention of creating a workable concert piece, I took everything I considered the best and most appropriate out of the late composer’s remaining materials to give coherence and wholeness to this work.”

Mussorgsky took as his starting point the old Russian legend of a witches’ sabbath on St. John’s Night (June 23-24) on Mount Triglav near Kiev. That legend tells of midnight revels led by the god Chernobog (sometimes depicted as a black goat), festivities that come to an end with the break of day.

In this age of authenticity, we are automatically suspicious of Rimsky’s complaint that Mussorgsky’s versions “remained unpolished,” and so we should remember that his motives were generous–he had been Mussorgsky’s friend, he liked this music, and he wanted it to find an audience. But Rimsky, for all his virtues, was not Mussorgsky, and his version is not so much a re-orchestration as it is a re-composition. He based his edition largely on Mussorgsky’s choral version in Sorochyntsi Fair, eliminating large sections of the original in the process, and he brought his own considerable skills as an orchestrator to this score, clarifying textures and–even in this dark music–giving it a lighter, brighter sound. His version, quite polished but far from “the Russian soil” of the original, has nevertheless become one of the most popular works in the literature. —Eric Bromberger

NIGHTS IN THE GARDENS OF SPAIN

Manuel de Falla (1876–1946)

Manuel de Falla’s Nights in the Gardens of Spain presents a moody and remarkably diverse look at the composer’s homeland—but then again, Falla was a diverse composer in general. Although an avowed nationalist in musical tone (he collected and arranged Spanish folk songs), Falla composed works that range in subject from ballet to opera to a remarkable 1926 concerto for harpsichord and five instruments.

Nights in the Gardens of Spain was completed in Spain during World War I, but it was conceived during one of the composer’s stays in France. Despite Falla’s overt connection to the music of his homeland, he considered his best periods as an artist to be the ones he spent in Paris.

Nights in the Gardens of Spain is a pure flight of fancy— rich, dark, and mysterious. Formally, the work consists of

three connected nocturnes much in the style of Debussy, whom Falla admired; yet they are Debussy-like only in suggestions of structure— the notes themselves are permeated by Falla’s own voice. With such an evocative title, the question must be asked: is Nights in the Gardens of Spain program music, music for its own sake, or something in between? Falla himself devoted some thought to the question of Nights as program music, writing that “If these ‘symphonic impressions’ have achieved their object, the mere enumeration of their titles should be a sufficient guide to the hearer. Although in this work—as in all which have a legitimate claim to be considered as music— the composer has allowed a definite design,…the end for which it was written is no other than to evoke places, sensations, and sentiments. The music has no pretensions to being descriptive; it is merely expressive. But something more than the sound of festivals and dances has

inspired these ‘evocations in sound,’ for melancholy and mystery have their part also.”

That said, we are left to view the work as a dramatic portrait of the Andalusia the composer so loved. The first movement could well stand alone, its writing elegant while still retaining heavy influences of flamenco form and guitar writing. But standing the first movement on its own feet would neglect the dramatic, sensual intensity of the second—a brief, darkly playful dance that acts almost as a bridge between sections—and its segue into the devilishly dramatic third movement. After an all-out orchestral storm in the opening, a remarkably crystalline, guitarinspired series of phrases appears, set for piano over hazy strings. The drama returns, and the piece roars through its final five minutes with a mixture of harsh fullorchestra interruptions and expansive romances for piano and strings, fading quickly into an elegant, quiet close. —Jessica Schilling

MA MÈRE L’OYE (MOTHER GOOSE) SUITE

Maurice Ravel (1875–1937)

The phenomenal success of Ravel’s “greatest hits” (especially the almost notorious Bolero) may blind us to the subtleties of his most enchanting works. There are in fact several “versions” of his Mother Goose, and some clarification may be called for. The music began life in 1908 with the creation of a single movement for piano duet, Sleeping Beauty’s Pavane. (Ravel’s famous Pavane for a Dead Princess had been written nine years earlier, in 1899.) Four more duets were composed in 1910, and the Suite (now named Mother Goose and given a fascinating subtitle which translates literally as “Five Infantile [or Childish] Pieces”) was premiered in Paris almost immediately thereafter. It was only after a request for a ballet score that the composer orchestrated the originals and expanded the work, adding a prelude, several connecting sections, and one entirely new episode, as well as revising the sequence of the five original scenes. Tonight’s performance presents the music in the composer’s original, pre-ballet sequence.

As with most of Ravel’s orchestrations of his piano scores, there is no trace of the original sound world. The refinement of the textures Ravel utilizes to re-create this music in orchestral terms is an endless source of wonderment. After the moody opening “Pavane de la Belle au bois dormant,” we

are transported to the forest (“Petit Poucet”), where Tom Thumb’s trail of crumbs is the victim of various songbirds. A colorful and exotic depiction of things Chinese follows, as “Laideronnette, Impératrice des pagodes” bathes while being entertained with musical walnutshells and almond-shells. Then comes “Les Entretiens de la Belle et de la Bête,” which British writer Gerald Larner described as “Ravel’s first-ever love scene.” This is no Disneyfied Beauty and the Beast, though, and the transformation of the Beast leads to a hymn-like but eventually ecstatic celebration of nature in “Le Jardin féerique.” The radiant orchestration is quintessential Ravel. —Dennis

THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE

Paul Dukas (1865–1935)

The Frenchman Paul Dukas composed The Sorcerer’s Apprentice in 1897; the work would become his main claim to fame, enjoying far-reaching popularity and success. A very methodical (read “painstakingly slow”), highly self-critical musician who destroyed many of his compositions before his death, Dukas considered himself a teacher who composed. Even so, he managed to turn out several large-scale works in addition to his one big hit.

As for The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, it deserves the esteem in which it is held. A legitimate child of the 19th century’s much celebrated

wedding of music and literature, the descriptive tone poem, the work operates on quite as high a level of distinction as the ranking compositions in the genre by Liszt and Strauss.

The composition’s musical storytelling is remarkably graphic, although for the many who have seen the Disney animation in the film Fantasia, a hearing of the piece may bring to mind Mickey Mouse. No matter. The music alone, sans Mouse, su ces to tell the tale propounded in a ballad by the great German author and poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

The picture comes into focus right from the start. Mysterious strings set the atmosphere of the sorcerer’s workshop. (No less than Stravinsky “borrowed” this opening for his early Fireworks.) The apprentice, alone, discovers enough of his master’s magic (trumpets) to bring a broom to life (bassoon). The broom performs the apprentice’s chore—that of fetching water from the river. Enough water soon becomes too much (orchestral agitation), but the distraught lad cannot find the “stopping” incantation. In desperation, he chops the broom in two, but now the work is done at twice the speed by the broom halves (bassoon and bass clarinet). Bedlam. Flood disaster is imminent. But the sorcerer returns, speaks the magic words (trumpets again), the brooms are stilled, and the calm, as at the beginning, is restored. Four quick chords at the end suggest the sorcerer has delivered that number of disciplinary strokes to the mischievous apprentice.

REQUIEM Giuseppe Verdi (1813–1901)

Is the Requiem Mass Verdi’s greatest opera? Or was it just his latest opera in ecclesiastical vestments? This was the snide assertion made by the loyal Brahms partisan, pianistconductor Hans von Bülow. For his trouble, Bülow was soundly rebu ed by Brahms himself, who said, “Only a genius could have written such a work.”

Brahms, of course, was right; it takes one to know one.

When Verdi composed the Requiem, in 1873, he had long been considered opera’s reigning master. His singular stature in the world of 19th-century lyric theater e ectively began with the success of his third opera, Nabucco, in 1842, a work that the composer came to write only after the most intense urging and cajoling by Bartolomeo Merelli, impresario of Milan’s La Scala.

A vital element of Nabucco’s success was a performancestopping chorus in the opera’s third act. “Va, pensiero, sull’ali dorate” (Go, thought, on golden wings) became a rallying cry of freedom from Austrian rule and Verdi the musical standardbearer of the movement toward a united and free Italy. Verdi’s sympathies with the Italian nationalist liberal cause may not have been the guiding force of his professional activities, but there was no question that he held high the ideal of his country’s desire for independence, which finally came in 1870.

Verdi equated Italy’s freedom from foreign rule with an author whom he idolized as much

for his championing of Italian independence as for his literary excellence. Alessandro Manzoni, born in 1785, is considered the father of the modern Italian novel.

When Verdi heard of Manzoni’s death, he was stunned, incredulous, so much so that he could not even bring himself to attend the revered man’s funeral. But with the passage of time the loss became somewhat bearable, and the idea of honoring Manzoni through music appeared clearly. He would write a Requiem Mass and express the depth of emotion he felt.

The “Manzoni” Requiem was first performed on May 22, 1874, at St. Mark’s in Milan. Immediately following its premiere, it moved to La Scala for three hugely successful performances, and then Verdi took it to Paris, London, and Vienna, where it received equal acclaim.

Architecturally, the work is in seven movements, with the second, the Dies irae, the most extended, being set in 10 sections. The Libera me, an optional movement in a traditional requiem, becomes here in its position the final movement, in e ect a recapitulation musically of earlier materials. These materials, of course, were devised, as it were, after the fact (“ the last shall be first, and the first, last.” Matthew 20).

Textually, the Libera me brings a personal emphasis to the Mass. The Requiem text, ending as it often does with the Lux aeterna—“May eternal light shine on them, Lord…Grant them eternal rest”—fulfills the elevated ecclesiastical requirement of praying for the dead. In the Libera me, the fear of the “last enemy” that is latent in all of

us is brought to consciousness: “Deliver me, Lord, from eternal death…Deliver me.”

Within its vast emotional content, the Requiem covers every shade of operatic expression that Verdi ever conjured, from the most inward and fragile to the most extroverted and violently passionate. To Verdi, religiosity was not ecclesiastic but humanistic, and his language for speaking operatically about the things of man was the same as speaking oratorically about the things of God. Remember that the composer’s supplications to the Almighty in his massive Requiem were motivated by his having lost a man, Manzoni, and not by his having found God. (Verdi was all his adult life a lapsed Catholic.) Realizing this should make acceptable, even to a religionist, the secular musical vocabulary as being fully appropriate to the religious subject matter.

Expectedly, the vocal elements in the work, both solo and choral, are masterful. Perhaps not so expected is the high estate of Verdi’s contrapuntal learnedness and harmonic sophistication, both of which, added to the Requiem’s other virtues, were surely what prompted Brahms’ judgment of Verdi’s Requiem as a work of genius.

Succeeding generations have echoed that judgment unreservedly. Every element of the Mass—chorus, orchestra, vocal soloists, the drama, penetrating emotion, breathtaking excitement, heaven-storming grandeur—all contribute to the irresistible appeal of the work.

ANGEL BLUE

Soprano Angel Blue’s importance in opera today cannot be overstated. In September 2019 she opened the Metropolitan Opera’s 2019/20 season as Bess in a new production of George Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess, for which she won a Grammy Award in the Best Opera Recording category. She reprised this role at the Met in autumn 2021, immediately following her triumphant role debut as Destiny/Loneliness/ Greta in the Met’s historic 2021/22 season opener of Fire Shut Up in My Bones, the first production at the Metropolitan Opera by a Black composer, Terence Blanchard, and also a Grammy winner. In addition, she was the 2020 recipient of the Met’s prestigious Beverly Sills Award—as the first African American artist to receive this honor—and in 2022 she won the Richard Tucker Award.

The 2022/23 season was a display of Blue’s immense versatility and virtuosity on the operatic and concert stage. She opened Houston Grand Opera’s season with her house debut as Violetta in Verdi’s La traviata, and she also sang Violetta later in the spring of 2023 at the Metropolitan Opera. The California native returned to longtime collaborator the Los Angeles Opera performing the title role in Puccini’s Tosca. In spring 2023, Blue appeared as Aida at the Royal Opera House.

Angel Blue has appeared in recital and in concert in more than 35 countries. Important orchestral engagements have included Porgy and Bess at the Berliner Philharmoniker under Sir Simon Rattle and with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Marin Alsop; Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 with the Münchener Philharmoniker under the baton of Zubin Mehta; and Verdi’s Requiem in Sydney, Australia, with Oleg Caetani. Blue debuted in recital at the Ravinia Festival in August 2019, after which she joined many of her international colleagues at the 2019 Richard Tucker Gala at Carnegie Hall in New York.

Angel Blue was born and raised in California and completed her musical studies at UCLA.

RIHAB CHAIEB

Tunisian Canadian mezzosoprano Rihab Chaieb has drawn international recognition for her clear, sensuous vocal tone and her dramatic flair. With a versatile instrument that allows her to shine in repertoire from Monteverdi, Handel, and Mozart through Bizet, Verdi, and Glass, Chaieb is a prominent new talent on the world’s major stages.

In the 2022/23 season, Chaieb made both notable debuts and anticipated returns: she brought her acclaimed interpretation of Carmen to the Canadian Opera Company and Calgary Opera and made her LA Opera debut as Cherubino in James Gray’s new production of Le nozze di Figaro, conducted by James Conlon. At Grand Théâtre de Genève she appeared as La mère Meryem in the world premiere of Christian Jost’s

A regular performer on the concert platform, Rihab Chaieb joined Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra and Richard Egarr in Handel’s Messiah, the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and Otto Tausk for Berlioz’ Les nuits d’été, and with the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra she performed her first Ruggiero in Handel’s Alcina. In recital, she performed alongside pianist Brian Zeger at the Kennedy Center, presented by Vocal Arts DC.

On the concert stage, Rihab Chaieb has performed with Orchestre symphonique de Montréal under Johannes Debus in Mahler’s Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen and in a program of Rossini under Kent Nagano; and with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra in Handel’s Messiah and under Music Director Gustavo Gimeno in Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9. She recorded Bach’s Mass in B minor and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 for two audiovisual recordings with Montreal’s Orchestre Métropolitain under Music Director Yannick NézetSéguin, the latter released on Deutsche Grammophon’s online platform DG Stage. In 2022, she reprised Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 with NézetSéguin and the Philadelphia Orchestra at Carnegie Hall.

MARIO CHANG

Guatemalan tenor Mario Chang has been praised as “a born bel canto tenor” by The New York Times. The 2022/23 season saw his house debut with the Hong Kong Opera as Alfredo in La traviata as well as his house debuts at Ópera de Oviedo in the title role in Ernani and his role debut as Cavaradossi in Tosca with Teatro de la Maestranza.

Orchestral highlights include Chang’s Hollywood Bowl debut as Cassio in Otello with the LA Phil, conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, the Italian Tenor in Der Rosenkavalier with the National Symphony Orchestra, Mozart’s Requiem with the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional de Guatemala, and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 with the Orquesta Sinfónica Centroamericana in Nicaragua.

Chang made his Carnegie Hall debut in a concert with the Musical Olympus Foundation and returned to appear in recital as part of the Marilyn Horne Song Celebration.

Honors and awards include First Prize, Zarzuela Prize, and audience favorite at the 2014 Operalia Competition, Top Prize in the 2014 Gerda Lissner Foundation competition, and a Festival Musique et Vin au Clos Vougeot career grant in 2013.

Chang is founder and director of Querido Arte Opera de Guatemala, the first opera

company in Guatemala, a Center for the Development of the Arts (Centro de Perfeccionamiento para las Artes), and a youth orchestra and chorus program, creating a platform for the development and promotion of the arts and supporting hundreds of young musicians and emerging artists to reach their dreams. In recognition of this work, he was appointed with the Medalla del Quetzal and Cambio de la Rosa de la Paz by the Ministry of Culture and Sports of his country, making him ambassador of peace and culture in Guatemala.

Chang was a member of the Lindemann Young Artist Development Program at the Metropolitan Opera and holds an Advanced Diploma in Opera Studies from the Juilliard School.

MARIO CHANG

A native of Su olk, VA, Grammy Award-winning bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green has quickly garnered an international reputation as a breakthrough star, appearing at many of the world’s most important opera houses and music festivals. A recipient of both the Richard and Sara Tucker Grants from the Richard Tucker Foundation, Speedo completed his training as a member of the Metropolitan Opera Lindemann Young Artist Development Program.

The 2022/23 season saw Speedo’s first leading role at the Metropolitan Opera, starring as Emile Gri th in Terence Blanchard’s Champion, conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin. Speedo also made his house debut at Opéra National de Paris singing Kurwenal in Tristan und Isolde, conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, and his house debut at Bayerische Staatsoper as Varlaam in Boris Godunov. Orchestral engagements included Kurwenal in Tristan und Isolde with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and his debut with

the New York Philharmonic in the world premiere of a piece by Courtney Bryan written for him.

Speedo opened the Metropolitan Opera’s 2021/22 season as Uncle Paul in Terence Blanchard’s Fire Shut Up in My Bones, sang Varlaam in Stephen Wadsworth’s new production of Boris Godunov, reprised his Grammy Award-winning role of Jake in Porgy and Bess, portrayed Colline in La bohème, and also sang Tru aldino in Ariadne auf Naxos, which was broadcast as part of the Met’s Live in HD series.

In the fall of 2016, Little, Brown, and Co. published Sing for Your Life, by New York Times journalist Daniel Bergner. The book tells the story of Speedo’s personal and artistic journey: from a trailer park in southeastern Virginia and from time spent in Virginia’s juvenile facility of last resort to the Met stage. The New York Times Book Review called the book “one of the most inspiring stories I’ve come across in a long time.” Sing for Your Life was a New York Times Best Seller and New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice, a Washington Post Notable Book, and a Publishers Weekly Book of the Year.

CHARLIE WILSON

To say that Charlie Wilson is an icon does not truly describe the musical powerhouse whose vocal prowess began as founding member and lead singer of the legendary Gap Band (“You Dropped a Bomb on Me,” “Outstanding,” “Party Train,” and “Burn Rubber on Me.”)

As a solo artist, Wilson has topped the R&B charts with 13 No. 1 singles; 13 Grammy nominations; a New York Times and Washington Post best-selling memoir, I Am Charlie Wilson; a BET Lifetime Achievement Award; a Soul Train Icon Award; a Soul Train Certified Soul Award; and an NAACP Music Makes a Di erence Award. He was also honored with a star on the Black Music & Entertainment Walk of Fame in 2022 and will be receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2024.

Wilson kicked o 2022 on the critically acclaimed The Culture Tour with New Edition and Jodeci. He previously sold out two of his own headlining arena tours—Forever Charlie (2015) and In It to Win It (2017)— and toured with Bruno Mars on his 24K Magic World Tour.

He was twice named Billboard ’s Top Adult Male R&B Artist (2009,

2020) and named Billboard ’s Top Adult R&B Male Artist with the most No. 1 hits in three decades.

Known to most as “Uncle Charlie,” the lovable nickname given by Snoop Dogg, Wilson continues to be one of the most sought-after voices in music today. He has collaborated with many chart-topping artists, including Bruno Mars; Pharrell Williams; Kanye West; Justin Timberlake; Tyler, the Creator;

and Nas, to name a few.

In the years between the Gap Band and his solo success, Wilson survived drug and alcohol addiction, homelessness and prostate cancer. Sober now for 25 years, the singer says, “I wouldn’t have believed I’d be where I am right now. That’s why I shout every night because I thank God for allowing me to be here.”

EN VOGUE

Legendary! It’s a status few groups ever attain. But for 30 years and counting, En Vogue has achieved this pinnacle on nothing but pure talent. And they are not letting up now. Still riding high o the global release of 2018’s Electric Café, their first album in 14 years, En Vogue is soaring as Terry Ellis, Cindy Herron-Braggs, and Rhona Bennett take the group to even greater heights.

Formed in 1989 in the Bay Area, En Vogue—consisting then of Ellis, Herron, Dawn Robinson, and Maxine Jones—began their o cial takeover in 1990 with their hit single “Hold On” from their critically acclaimed debut album, Born to Sing, which reached No. 1 on both the dance and R&B/Hip-Hop charts. Since then, they have sold more than 20 million physical albums. More impressively, they have transitioned e ortlessly into the digital age, garnering more than

30 million streams and 26 millionplus YouTube views for their Top Six hit singles alone, which, in addition to “Hold On,” are “Free Your Mind,” “My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It),” “Giving Him Something He Can Feel,” “Don’t Let Go (Love),” and “Whatta Man” (featuring Salt-N-Pepa).

Today the evolution of En Vogue, now a trio with Bennett—whose pre-group highlights include her childhood stint alongside future musical powerhouses Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, and Britney Spears on the Disney Channel’s The All-New Mickey Mouse Club—is still thriving.

As for the group’s longevity, Ellis points to “gratitude” as the key. Doubling down on their En Vogue legacy has yielded tremendous fruit. “Rocket,” their Ne-Yopenned, Curtis “Sauce” Wilsonproduced lead radio single from Electric Café, which blends the group’s signature harmonies with a futuristic language for romance, became their first Top 10 single in 20 years. To date, the video, playing

up the intergalactic love vibe, has nearly 2 million YouTube views.

The album itself—on En Vogue Records, the label formed by Herron and Ellis in 2016 and distributed by eOne Music— reached the Top 20 on Billboard ’s independent album chart. Wisely, the critically acclaimed album builds on all that makes En Vogue great—killer vocals infused with class. Not only sonically pleasing, the album overflows with key messaging about women’s empowerment, self-love, and healthy relationships.

More than 30 years since the group’s start, the ladies remain the epitome of beauty and grace, proving that women can not only top and control the game longterm on their own terms but also look incredible and fashionable while doing so. As for keeping their pristine vocals and their bodies fit to maintain their signature high-energy, crowd-pleasing performance standard, the divas credit a largely plant-based diet and vigorous workout routines. Keeping their sound fresh hasn’t been hard for the trio. Constantly touring, they stay on the road and in our ears, as their music is heard in such films as Captain Marvel and What Men Want as well as such TV shows as Pose and 9-1-1. En Vogue also hopes to add more acting to their credits, which includes their own 2014 Lifetime film, An En Vogue Christmas Change may be inevitable, but some things remain magically the same. Three decades later, En Vogue continues to set a high standard for women in music. Their crowns remain intact. In a fickle industry, they’ve not only been able to “hold on,” but they’ve also ascended to “legendary” status on their own terms.

THREE BLACK KINGS

Duke Ellington (1899–1974)

Arr. Luther Henderson

Collaboration, one might say, is the essence of jazz. Even Ellington’s Three Black Kings, his final composition, proves the point in its own way. Ellington had nearly completed the piece before he died. But he rarely wrote the final notes of a composition until the day of the premiere, leaving his son Mercer, a successful bandleader and composer in his own right, to guess how it should ultimately be completed. The great composer and arranger Luther Henderson orchestrated a version that Mercer premiered at a tribute concert for his father in 1976—where First Lady Betty Ford gave the downbeat. Alvin Ailey choreographed a ballet to accompany the piece, which his troupe performed throughout the 1976/77 season. And Ellington’s longtime friend Maurice Peress, an esteemed conductor, eventually rescored it for symphony orchestra. It took many hands to create the piece as we know it today.

Intended (in Mercer’s words) as a “eulogy for Martin Luther King, Jr.,” Three Black Kings continues Ellington’s series of narrative pieces on a grand symphonic scale—a series that includes Black, Brown, and Beige (1943), Harlem (1950), and Night Creature (1955). Traversing centuries, each movement captures the psychological depth of its respective subject. The first, depicting King Balthazar (the black king of the Nativity), features propulsive percussion sounds that explode into ravishing, exotic melodies in the strings. The episodic second, which fluctuates between sultry strings accompanied by harp and upbeat passages reminiscent of Ellington’s jazz orchestra, evokes King Solomon’s taste for love more than his fabled wisdom. The gospelinflected third, complete with subtle tambourine backbeats, is a fitting tribute to the Reverend Doctor King himself—a man who, as Nina Simone put it in her own music eulogy, “had seen the mountaintop, and knew he could not stop, always living with the threat of death ahead.”

—Douglas Shadle

SONG SELECTIONS

Even more than piano, the jazz orchestra was Duke Ellington’s primary instrument, and he showed himself to be a master of color, texture, and timbral e ect. Most of his songs started as instrumental compositions, with lyrics being added later. Ellington and his contemporary George Gershwin both contributed standards to what became known as the Great American Songbook, and they paid close attention to each other’s work. Gershwin frequented the Cotton Club where Ellington and his band performed in the 1920s, and Gershwin biographer Howard Pollack suggests that Ellington’s “Creole Love Call” influenced An American in Paris. But where Ellington approached his songs as instrumental jazz first, Gershwin’s songs show the Tin Pan Alley tradition, or in the case of selections from Porgy and Bess, a modified European opera aesthetic. —Ricky O’Bannon

NIGHT CREATURE

Duke Ellington

Arr.

David Berger

The advent of long-playing records proved significant in Ellington’s continued development of expanded forms. Night Creature (1955, 1963), which features full orchestra plus saxophones, was orchestrated by Ellington and Luther Henderson as a sort of three-movement concerto grosso, a jazz band as collective soloist within a symphony orchestra, and was recorded in 1963 on the album Symphonic Ellington. Ellington’s music had its roots in dance, and although not originally conceived as a dance, Night Creature has been successfully choreographed, most notably by Alvin Ailey in 1975 for his American Dance Theater. Ellington’s own scenario for his three-part tone poem reveals:

“Night creatures, unlike stars, do not come out at night—they come on, each thinking that before the night is out he or she will be the star. They are the restless cool whose exotic or erotic animations, no matter how cool, beg for recognition, mainly from the queen, that dazzling woman who reigns over all night creatures. She is the theme of the third movement, sitting there on

her high place and singing, ‘I want to be acknowledged’ (in D major), or ‘Who but me shall be desired?’ (in A-flat), or ‘Who has the taste for my choreography?’

(in A minor). After having made each of her subjects feel that Her Majesty sings only for him or her, who is individually the coolest or craziest, her high-toned highness rises and snaps her fingers. As they stomp o handclapping, everybody scrambles to be in place, wailing and winging into the most overindulged form of up-and-outness.”

—John Henken

AN AMERICAN IN PARIS

George Gershwin

(1898–1937)

Since his early teens George Gershwin had been enamored with the music he heard uptown in Harlem, a region that was quickly becoming the center of the jazz universe. Indeed, his first attempt at a more serious composition—a mini-opera called Blue Monday—was a story about characters in a Harlem nightclub. Its first presentation was on Broadway, however, with white singers performing in blackface; it was a flop and received only one performance.

Undisturbed, Gershwin tried another classical/jazz merging, the so-called “Experiment in Modern Music” (as it was billed for its 1924 premiere): Rhapsody in Blue. He followed this with his Concerto in F, which some writers called “The Jazz Piano Concerto.” These two works were popularly successful, though critics were still guarded with their praise.

It was a trip abroad that inspired Gershwin to work in earnest on a recent commission he had received from the New York Philharmonic. His idea for the new work solidified as he was shopping for Parisian taxi horns to take back to the US: capture the tumult of Paris’ streets in music and create a concert work that didn’t center around the piano.

Back in New York, Gershwin finished An American in Paris, which he subtitled “A Tone Poem for Orchestra.” In an interview in the August 18, 1928, edition of Musical America, he said of the work: “this new piece, really a rhapsodic ballet, is the most modern music I have ever attempted.”

Though not a critical success, An American in Paris was wildly successful with audiences—and Hollywood—and established Gershwin as an original voice in concert halls worldwide, a voice that resonates to this day. —Dave

NO-FLY ZONE

Few things can sour a symphony or scuttle a soulful song like uninvited noise. Not long after airplanes and helicopters became regular sights in the Los Angeles sky, the Hollywood Bowl began outreach to the local FAA o ce and pilots’ associations to prevent aircraft from passing over the Bowl during concert-season evenings. Sometimes, though, we all need a reminder. For decades, posters would be hung in pilot lounges at commercial and private airfields in the area. This artwork was meant to be eye-catching, would sometimes play o a theme from the season, and became a fun and colorful genre seen by few of those who didn’t have their pilot’s license. Enjoy this look back on designs created throughout Bowl history.

THE FIRST YEARS OF MUSIC: 7-LP VINYL BOX SET

In its first century, the Hollywood Bowl hosted legendary performances from some of the biggest names in music history. The Los Angeles Philharmonic has called the Bowl home for decades and has made a tradition of presenting unparalleled artistry in a gorgeous setting.

Frank Sinatra caused a sensation when he became the first pop musician to sing with an orchestra on the Bowl stage. Rock artists brought the counterculture into one of LA’s most esteemed venues. Annual musicals, starstudded specials, titans of jazz—if it’s soul-stirring or foot-tapping, it’s happened at the Bowl.

And now, you can bring the Bowl’s history home with the Hollywood Bowl 100 vinyl box set. Beautifully designed to reflect the diversity of sounds that have made the Bowl one of LA’s richest cultural institutions, the set comprises seven LPs of recordings made live on the Bowl

stage—including some from as far back as 1928. The set captures the sonic heritage of the Bowl’s first century, with performances by everyone from the LA Phil—led by conductors including Eugene Goossens, Igor Stravinsky, Zubin Mehta, and Gustavo Dudamel—to The Doors to Audra McDonald, with frequent stops between. Order your copy now, available exclusively at the LA Phil Stores at the Bowl, at Walt Disney Concert Hall, and online at laphilstore.com, and get ready to relive some of the greatest moments of the Hollywood Bowl’s first 100 years. Each purchase includes a limitededition tote bag.
