An O.C. art museum unlike any other

Where art meets nature, research and wellness

You’ll feel inspired at the future home of UCI’s Jack and Shanaz Langson Institute and Museum of California Art.

Situated near the intersection of Jamboree Road and Campus Drive in Irvine, the new museum will feature striking indoor and outdoor spaces that blend Langson IMCA’s art holdings with wellness programs tied to the nearby UCI Health–Irvine medical complex, innovative art research and tranquil views of the San Joaquin Marsh Reserve.

Anchored by The Irvine Museum Collection of impressionist art and The Buck Collection of modern and contemporary California art, Langson IMCA will draw renowned scholars, artists and researchers to its doorstep, as well as art lovers from Southern California and beyond. The new site will be designed as a multifaceted place for reflection, respite, learning and gathering.

Langson IMCA is already an exciting community resource, partnering with numerous Orange County schools and presenting an array of exhibitions and programs at the museum’s interim location – 18881 Von Karman Ave. in Irvine – and various pop-up sites.

With its growing trove of artwork and connections to UCI’s rigorous academics, Langson IMCA promises to inspire newfound appreciation of art, culture, wellness and sustainability. The university expects to hire a design architect for the museum in mid2023 and break ground in late 2024 or early 2025.

Community support is vital to this exciting project. Discover how you can take part in this exciting new chapter of local art history.

No ordinary art museum

Masterpieces of California art. Sweeping views of nature. Innovative art research. All will come together when the Jack and Shanaz Langson Institute and Museum of California Art opens on the University of California, Irvine’s North Campus property, near the future UCI Health–Irvine medical complex. Completion of the arts facility — the only museum of California art integrated with a large research university — is a few years away, but the vision for this world-class showcase is already taking shape, thanks to a generous gift from the Langsons, dedicated trustees of the UCI Foundation.

Together, we’re creating a brilliant future for generations to come. Join us at m.uci.edu/IMCA

The new Orange County Museum of Art opens on the Segerstrom Center for the Arts Campus in Costa Mesa, CA on October 8, 2022.

Setting themselves free

THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD. Many young people may not be familiar with the term or what it means. North, a new musical for families co-commissioned by Segerstrom Center for the Arts, will help change that.

Set in the 1850s before the Civil War, North tells the story of slaves Minnie and her precocious son Lawrence, who attempt to escape and travel north seeking freedom. This original production is aimed at children ages 8 and older and their families and is part of the Center’s 2022-23 Family Explorer Series.

“North is an important drama that tackles a difficult subject in American history, and helps children understand it in a way that is both profound and entertaining,” says Casey Reitz, president of the Center. “The Education team should be very proud of their work on this original production.”

Ashli St. Armant, who wrote the book and music, is known for her award-winning work in children’s education and entertainment. North is based on actual accounts of slaves that made

that journey, as well as St. Armant’s family history of overcoming slavery in Louisiana.

The term Underground Railroad refers to the network of safe hiding places that enabled slaves to escape the slave-holding states of the American South. Sympathetic abolitionists provided shelter and assistance until they could help slaves travel to their next sanctuary.

Getting to a non-slave state or to Canada could take weeks or months, and taking the risk was a difficult decision for slaves. They were usually leaving the only place they knew, and family they would never see again. Getting caught meant being returned to their owner and severe punishment, maybe even being sold. Most slaves had no education and didn’t know how to navigate a world outside the plantation. Once out, they had to quickly learn how to dress, speak and act so as not to give themselves away when they might be in public. But they also discovered the diverse lives of free Black Americans that could hardly be imagined by slaves who had spent their lives in isolation.

The route to Canada for Minnie and Lawrence takes them through Louisiana’s bayous, the bustling city of New Orleans and on to the town of Lawrence, Kansas, soon to be the site of furious pre-war battles between anti- and pro-slave settlers. While North acknowledges the realities of slavery, it brings out the full experience of freedom-seekers: optimism, bravery, playfulness, wonder, love, suspense and mystery.

St. Armant is recognized by young Center audiences as lead singer of Jazzy Ash and the Leaping Lizards. The group presents New Orleans jazz through the Center’s Arts Teach program, taking children on a joyous journey through early Black American music and the history of the origins of jazz. The music she composed for North plays on that Louisiana sound and makes a lively accompaniment for the story, with songs that are both funny and poignant.

North is produced by a theater consortium that includes the Center, Lied Center of Kansas (Lawrence, Kansas); Chandler Center for the Arts (Chandler, Arizona); and Playhouse Square Theater (Cleveland, Ohio). The Center donated not just funding, but also long-term use of rehearsal space.

The first formal workshop presentation of North was held in June in the Center’s Studio Performance Space, only four days after the cast met for the first time. It was attended by invited guests, including representatives from the three other co-commissioning organizations, and the production was well received. Rehearsals for

the final production continued at the Center through September and early October.

The premiere of North takes place this month at the Lied Center, with the Center’s public performances following November 12-13. The production is expected to tour in 2023.

The Center hopes this is just the start of future commissions and plans to be involved in creating productions that promote diversity and have the same high quality as our main stage productions.

From Wall Street to Wicked

career for her. She had to try Broadway.

Vosk had no safety net when she began the treadmill of auditioning. Without an agent, it was a slow climb. There were some tiny parts and ensemble roles. Soon she began to do understudy roles in Bridges of Madison County, Finding Neverland and Fiddler on the Roof. Then she was cast in a national tour of Wicked, and eventually moved into the role of Elphaba. When she returned to New York she reprised her role in the Broadway production of Wicked, including during the production’s 15th anniversary.

JESSICA VOSK IS A Broadway star who has joined the Wicked Elphaba hall of fame and had a sold-out solo show at Carnegie Hall in 2021. But a decade ago, she thought a singing career was just a dream. As proof of how wrong she was, Vosk will debut in the Center’s Cabaret Series November 17-19 in Samueli Theater.

Growing up, Vosk performed in community theater and enjoyed it, but in college she decided to play it safe, studying communications and investor relations. She started working on Wall Street, and her bosses loved her energy, but after a few years she began to have panic attacks that affected her health and realized it was the wrong

Vosk would be the first one to tell anyone not to give up on their dreams. “Everything about it is hard work,” she says. “You can pivot at any point in your life, but you have to go for it. You have to have the confidence in yourself to say, ‘I think I can do this thing.’” She says there is a lot of fear that goes with that, but it helps her grow, and it’s followed by the happiness that she is doing exactly what she loves.

It’s not very likely that Jessica Vosk needs to worry about her career disappearing any time soon. She is “defying gravity” and going to the top.

FROM THE PRESIDENT

Whether you are a lifelong subscriber, or this is your first time hearing Pacific Chorale, we welcome you to the opening of our 55th Season. We are grateful you are here and that you continue to make live music a priority in your life. We are also grateful for our season sponsors and to everyone who has supported this organization to ensure that our musicians may continue to share their art with audiences here and abroad.

Rob has once again crafted a poignant, moving, and creative season that celebrates voices both familiar and new. We are so excited to present Jocelyn Hagen’s inspirational The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci – a new classic – side by side with an enduring classic – Duruflé’s Requiem. This season, you will hear more thoughtful pairings from Rob, an increasing hallmark of his programming.

On our closing concert in May, I am especially proud of one of those pairings when we present the full choral/orchestral premiere of Florence Price’s Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight accompanying Haydn’s “Nelson Mass.” Price’s poignant work, from one of our country’s leading African American women composers, was only rediscovered in 2009, in a former, abandoned home of hers in rural Illinois. Pacific Chorale will give the West Coast premiere of her work and the subsequent European premiere.

Yes! For the first time in many years, and the first time under Rob’s artistic leadership, Pacific Chorale is embarking on a European tour of the Haydn + Price program to Salzburg, Austria; Munich, Germany; and Oxford, Bath, and Salisbury, England, in July 2023. We are looking forward to introducing this newly-discovered treasure of American music to European audiences, while treating them to Orange County’s treasured, GRAMMY Awardwinning chorus!

Please enjoy tonight’s opening concert, and the rest of the wonderful season to come!

PROGRAM NOTES

DURUFLÉ REQUIEM

French composer, organist, and teacher Maurice Duruflé’s (1902-1986) compositional output was not large, but his masterpiece the Requiem is one of the beloved, essential works in the choral repertory. It takes its place alongside Gabriel Fauré’s frequently performed Requiem, and both works share a common approach to setting the text of the Catholic Mass for the Dead. Although both Duruflé and Fauré set the "Libera me" (Deliver me, Lord) text in which the Day of Judgement is foretold, they both principally focus on the hopeful supplicant’s plea that God grant the faithful an eternal, peaceful rest after death, and this fervent desire is deeply reflected in their music.

Maurice Duruflé showed such fine musical potential that he was admitted at age ten as a boy chorister to Rouen Cathedral choir school, where he received his formal musical and general education up to age sixteen. At Rouen he regularly sang in cathedral services, in which the performance of Latin-texted plainchant was an

essential element of the liturgy and was a strong influence later in his own composition. He also deputized at the cathedral organ for his teacher Jules Haelling, a pupil of the renowned French organist Alexandre Guilmant. Duruflé moved to Paris in 1919 to study organ with Charles Tournemire and Louis Vierne in preparation for the entrance examinations for the Paris Conservatoire. Duruflé enjoyed great success at the Paris Conservatoire, which he entered in 1920, winning first prizes in five categories: organ (1922), harmony (1924), fugue (1924), accompaniment (1926), and composition (1928), the last under Paul Dukas.

The influence of the composer-organists Tournemire and Vierne can be heard in Duruflé’s own music. From Tournemire Duruflé developed a strong interest in plainsong and modal harmony, and from Vierne a knowledge of the organ’s many sonic capabilities and an understanding of form and scale in musical composition. Duruflé later paid homage to his esteemed teachers by publishing valuable transcriptions of their

recorded organ improvisations. Duruflé was appointed deputy organist under Vierne at Notre-Dame Cathedral in 1927, and Vierne wanted the younger man to succeed him in the post of principal organist there. However, Duruflé accepted the post of organist of St Étienne-du-Mont in Paris, a position he would retain the rest of his professional life, until 1975. From 1943 to 1970 he also served as professor of harmony at the Paris Conservatoire. In addition to his composition and teaching, and work as a church organist, he also toured extensively as an organ soloist, including to the United States. He also made recordings, including one as the organ soloist in Francis Poulenc’s Organ Concerto, which he had premiered in 1939 (he advised Poulenc on organ registration). Duruflé also conducted his choral works on tour, including a performance of the Requiem given in Los Angeles in 1971, arranged by the distinguished choral conductor Paul Salamunovich (1927-2014), Music Director of the Los Angeles Master Chorale (1991-2001). Salamunovich was a strong champion of the French composer’s work, in Southern California and throughout the nation.

Duruflé was not a prolific composer, and was selfcritical of his own works, which he frequently revised. Indeed, he was quoted as saying “I work slowly, and I throw a lot away.” Besides his frequently performed Requiem, his Four Motets of 1960 is a standard set in the choral repertory; each of the four Latin-texted motets is based on Gregorian chant. Duruflé understood the nature and importance of liturgical plainchant and he imbued his music with both an evocation and quotation of chant such that it may be difficult for listeners to discern where the chant voices stop and the composer’s own melodies begin. Duruflé succinctly summarized his intention: “As a general rule, I have above all tried to feel deeply the particular style of the Gregorian themes: and I have done my best to reconcile as far as possible the Gregorian rhythmic patterns, as fixed by the Benedictines of Solesmes, with the demands of the modern bar-structure.”

Duruflé’s Requiem, dedicated to the composer’s father, was originally commissioned in 1941, completed in 1947, and the premiere broadcast on French national radio on All Souls Day, November 2, 1947. The composer ultimately created four different versions of the accompaniment for the work: for large orchestra and orchestra, solo organ, solo piano, and organ and reduced orchestra (strings, trumpets, harp, and timpani), the version performed by the Pacific Chorale. (The piano accompaniment version remains unpublished.) The length and complexity of the work, and its use of orchestral

accompaniment meant that the Requiem was probably intended for the concert hall rather than for liturgical use.

This work is a cantus firmus (“fixed melody”) mass setting, in that it quotes directly from the original chant melodies for the liturgical Latin mass for the dead, and it alternates between bold direct statements of the plainchant sources, and more subtle, chant-embedded textures. Duruflé’s nine-movement Requiem is noted for its use of block chords moving in parallel motion, suggesting the music of Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel, as well as for his use of dominant ninth chords, his masterful orchestration that suggests the variety of sounds created by a multitude of organ registrations, and a sensitive textmusic relationship.

The “Introit” (first movement) sets the words from which the work’s title derives—"Requiem aeternam, dona eis Domine” (Eternal rest, grant them, o Lord)—with a direct quotation of the original chant melody. This is followed by the “Kyrie” (Lord Have Mercy) movement that presents canonic and contrapuntal settings of the text. The dramatic “Domine Jesu Christe” (Lord Jesus Christ) movement, the Offertory, invokes the sharp human cries for salvation and liberation from the punishments of hell. The fearful ask the standard-bearer St. Michael to bring them back into the holy light.

With its continuous quick-note organ accompaniment under a slower-moving text, the “Sanctus” (Holy, Holy, Holy Lord), the fourth movement, undulates like a wave until it explodes into a grand fortissimo high point, tapering off gradually to a gentle ending. The “Pie Jesu” (Blessed Jesus), the fifth and central movement of the nine, scored for solo mezzo soprano, solo cello, and organ, beautifully reflects the composer’s identification with human suffering with its petition to Jesus to grant the faithful eternal rest. The subdued “Agnus Dei” (Lamb of God) movement is followed by the "Lux aeterna” (Eternal Light), with its shifting meters that capture the stress accentuation of the chant text.

In the penultimate movement, the “Libera me” (Deliver Me, Lord), the tremendous events of the Day of Judgement are foretold in solo baritone and choral utterances. As the composer tells us, the “In Paradisum” (In Paradise) movement marks the “ultimate answer of Faith to all the questions by the flight of the soul to Paradise.” This last movement begins startlingly with unfolding ethereal chords sustained in the organ part supporting a meltingly beautiful soprano section line on the petition “May the angels receive them in Paradise,” which is answered by the angelic chorus.

HAGEN: THE NOTEBOOKS OF LEONARDO DA VINCI

Although American composer Jocelyn Hagen (b. 1980) has written in numerous musical forms, including electroacoustic, orchestral, wind ensemble, and instrumental chamber music works, and she is known for her dance collaborations, she especially focuses on writing for the voice in solo vocal, vocal chamber, and choral compositions for varying combinations and levels. Hagen’s music has been called “simply magical” by Fanfare Magazine and “dramatic and deeply moving” by the Star Tribune of Minneapolis/St. Paul. She has received numerous commissions from many leading American musical organizations, including Minnesota Opera, Minnesota Orchestra, Conspirare, American Choral Directors Association (Minnesota, Georgia, Connecticut and Texas state groups), Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, North Dakota Music Teachers Association, and St. Olaf Band, among many others. Her work is published by Boosey and Hawkes, G. Schirmer, Fred Bock, Santa Barbara Music Publishing, and Graphite Publishing.

Hagen’s multimedia choral-orchestral symphony

The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci of 2019 was a collaboration between the composer, filmmaker Isaac Gale, animator Joseph Midthun, and filmmaker-librarian Justin Schell, and utilizes the video-syncing technology Muséik. Hagen’s composition is inspired by some of

the famous Italian Renaissance artist and polymath Leonardo da Vinci’s (1452-1519) drawings, inventions, and words preserved in the more than 5,000 pages of his notebooks. Hagen chose texts to set musically from some of da Vinci’s notebooks, which he wrote in mirror form from right to left. Her work was composed in honor of the 500th anniversary of da Vinci’s death, and was a joint commission by 23 ensembles, with the Minnesota Chorale, Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, and the University of Michigan as lead commissioners. It has been very well received and is likely on its way to becoming a regular repertory piece, with over a dozen performances throughout the country to date.

Hagen was inspired to compose The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci by the exhibition held in Minneapolis in 2015 that featured the Codex Leicester, which comprises only a portion of da Vinci’s notebooks. These are divided between different archives, including the Victoria and Albert Museum, British Library, Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan, Sforza Castle in Milan, Royal Library in Turin, and the Biblioteca Nacional de España in Madrid. Hagen conceived of The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci as both a musical and visual composition, and given da Vinci’s incredibly wideranging accomplishments and interests, Hagen’s eclectic compositional style appropriately fits the varied nature of da Vinci’s texts and images that so influenced her work. Just as da Vinci did in his own writings, the composer emphasizes in her music the importance of knowledge to human existence.

ROBERT ISTAD

PHILLIP N. AND MARY A. LYONS ARTISTIC DIRECTOR CHAIR

ROBERT ISTAD, a Grammy Award-winning conductor who “fashions fluent and sumptuous readings” ( Voice of OC ) with his “phenomenal” artistry ( Los Angeles Times ), was appointed Pacific Chorale’s Artistic Director in 2017. Under his leadership, the chorus continues to expand its reputation for excellence for delivering fresh, thought-provoking interpretations of beloved masterworks, rarely performed gems and newly commissioned pieces. His artistic impact can be heard on two recent recordings featuring Pacific

Chorale, including the 2020 Grammy Awardwinning “Mahler’s Eighth Symphony” with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Gustavo Dudamel on Deutsche Grammophon (2021), for which he prepared the chorus. It won Best Choral Performance and also garnered a Grammy nomination for Best Engineered Album, Classical. Additionally, Istad conducted the Pacific Chorale’s recording “All Things Common: The Music of Tarik O’Regan” released on Yarlung Records (2020). Istad has prepared choruses for such renowned conductors as Esa-Pekka Salonen, John Williams, John Mauceri, Keith Lockhart, Nicholas McGegan, Vasilly Sinaisky, Sir Andrew Davis, Bramwell Tovey, Carl St.Clair, Eugene Kohn, Giancarlo Guerrero, Marin Alsop, George Fenton, and Robert Moody. He regularly conducts and collaborates with Pacific Symphony, Musica Angelica Baroque Orchestra, Sony Classical Records, Yarlung Records, Berkshire Choral International, and Long Beach Symphony Orchestra. An esteemed educator, Istad is Professor of Music and Director of Choral Studies at California State University, Fullerton, where he was recognized as CSUF’s 2016 Outstanding Professor of the Year. He conducts the University Singers and manages a large graduate conducting program, in addition to teaching courses on conducting and performance practice. Istad, who is on the Executive Board of Directors of Chorus America and serves as Dean of Chorus America’s Conducting Academy, is in demand as guest conductor, lecturer, and clinician.

PACIFIC CHORALE

The Grammy Award-winning PACIFIC CHORALE, an Orange County “treasure” with a “fresh viewpoint” that “can sing anything you put in front of it, with polish, poise and tonal splendor” (Orange County Register) has “risen to national prominence” (Los Angeles Times) since its inception in 1968. Hailed for delivering “thrilling entertainment” (Voice of OC), the resident choir at Segerstrom Center for the Arts is noted for its artistic innovation and commitment to expanding the choral repertoire. It has given the world, U.S., and West Coast premieres of more than 35 works, including numerous commissions, by such lauded composers as John Adams, Jake Heggie, James Hopkins, David Lang, Morten Lauridsen, Tarik O'Regan, Karen Thomas, Frank Ticheli, András Gábor Virágh, and Eric Whitacre. Among other artistic highlights, Pacific Chorale’s “The Wayfaring Project,” a stunning original concert film conceived and conducted by Istad and produced during the

pandemic, was picked up by PBS SoCal and KCET and will be streamed through December 1, 2024 on pbssocal.org, kcet.org and the PBS app, reaching audiences across the Southland and around the globe. In addition to presenting its own concert series each season, Pacific Chorale enjoys a long-standing partnership with Pacific Symphony, with whom the choir made its highly anticipated Carnegie Hall debut in 2018. The chorus also regularly appears with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, with which it won the 2022 Grammy Award for Best Choral Performance as well as a Grammy nomination for Best Engineered Album, Classical, for its contribution to the live classical recording of “Mahler: Symphony No. 8, ‘Symphony of A Thousand’” conducted by Gustavo Dudamel, featuring Los Angeles Philharmonic, Los Angeles Children’s Chorus, Los Angeles Master Chorale, National Children’s Chorus and Pacific Chorale. The choir has performed with such leading orchestras as the Boston Symphony, National Symphony, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, San Diego Symphony, and Musica Angelica, among others. Pacific Chorale has garnered international acclaim as well, having toured extensively to more than 19 countries in Europe, South America, and Asia, and through collaborations with the London Symphony, Munich Symphony, L’Orchestre Lamoureux and L’Orchestre de St-Louis-en-l’Île of Paris, National Orchestra of Belgium, China National Symphony, Hong Kong Sinfonietta, Estonian National Symphony, and Orquesta Sinfonica Nacional of Argentina, among others. Deeply committed to making choral music accessible to people of all ages, the organization, which has a discography of 14 self-produced recordings and an extensive collection of exceptional free digital offerings, places a significant emphasis on choral music education, providing after-school vocal programs for elementary school students, a choral summer camp for high school students, and an annual community-wide singing event at Segerstrom Center for the Arts. www.pacificchorale.org

JOCELYN HAGEN composes music that has been described as “simply magical” ( Fanfare Magazine ) and “dramatic and deeply moving” ( Star Tribune , Minneapolis/St. Paul). Her first forays into composition were via songwriting, and this is very evident in her work. The majority of her compositional output is for the voice: solo, chamber and choral. Her dance opera collaboration with choreographer Penelope Freeh, titled Test Pilot , received the 2017 American Prize in the musical theater/ opera division as well as a Sage Award for “Outstanding Design.” Test Pilot has been described as “a tour de force of originality,” and “a special addition to the repertoire, worthy of being seen many places and many times." Her melodic music is rhythmically driven, texturally complex, and has recently become more experimental in nature. In 2013 she released an EP entitled MASHUP, in which she performs Debussy’s “Doctor Gradus Ad Parnassum” while singing Ed Sheeran’s “The A Team.” Jocelyn is also one half of the band Nation, an a cappella duo with composer/ performer Timothy C. Takach, and they perform and clinic choirs all around the world. She releases new recordings, music videos, and sheet music on a monthly basis through Patreon, a subscription based crowd-funding website. Join her network of supporters

at patreon.com, follow her on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter (JocelynHagenMus), and find her music on Spotify, iTunes, and Apple Music.

Jocelyn is a proud recipient of two McKnight Fellowships (2010 & 2014), and her commissions include Conspirare, The Minnesota Orchestra, the Minnesota Opera, the American Choral Directors Associations of Minnesota, Georgia, Connecticut and Texas, the North Dakota Music Teacher’s Association, Cantus, the Boston Brass, the Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, and The Houston Chamber Choir, among many others. She is currently an artist-inresidence at North Dakota State University and regularly composes for their ensembles. For ten years she was a composer-in-residence for the professional choir she also sang in: The Singers, under the direction of Matthew Culloton. Her work is independently published through JH Music, as well as Graphite Publishing, G. Schirmer, Santa Barbara Music Publishing, Fred Bock Music Publishing, and Boosey and Hawkes.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

PACIFIC SYMPHONY

Pacific Symphony, led by Music Director Carl St.Clair for the last 33 years, has been the resident orchestra of the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall since 2006. Currently in its 44th season, the Symphony is the largest orchestra formed in the U.S. in the last 50 years and is recognized as an outstanding ensemble making strides on both the national and international scene, as well as in its own community of Orange County. In April 2018, Pacific Symphony made its debut at Carnegie Hall as one of two orchestras invited to perform during a yearlong celebration of composer Philip Glass’ 80th birthday, and the following month the orchestra toured China. The orchestra made its national PBS debut in June 2018 on Great Performances with Peter Boyer’s Ellis Island: The Dream of America, conducted by St.Clair. Presenting more than 100 concerts and events each year and a rich array of education and community engagement programs, the Symphony reaches more than 300,000 residents—from school children to senior citizens.

The Symphony offers repertoire ranging from the great orchestral masterworks to music from today’s most prominent composers. Just over a decade ago, the Symphony launched the highly successful opera initiative, “Symphonic Voices,” which continues in April 2023 with Verdi’s Rigoletto. It also offers an in-demand Pops season, enhanced by state-ofthe-art video and sound, led by celebrated pops conductors. Each season also includes Café Ludwig, a chamber music series; an educational Family Musical Mornings series; and Sunday Matinees, an

orchestral matinée series offering rich explorations of selected works led by St.Clair. Recordings commissioned and performed by the Symphony include the release of William Bolcom’s Songs of Lorca and Prometheus (2015-16), Richard Danielpour’s Toward a Season of Peace, Philip Glass’ The Passion of Ramakrishna (2013-14), as well as Michael Daugherty’s Mount Rushmore and The Gospel According to Sister Aimee (2012-13). In 2014-15, Elliot Goldenthal released a recording of his Symphony in G-sharp Minor, written for and performed by the Symphony. The Symphony has also commissioned and recorded An American Requiem by Danielpour and Fire Water Paper: A Vietnam Oratorio by Goldenthal featuring Yo-Yo Ma. Other recordings have included collaborations with such composers as Lukas Foss and Toru Takemitsu. Other leading composers commissioned by the Symphony include Paul Chihara, Daniel Catán, James Newton Howard, William Kraft, Ana Lara, Tobias Picker, Christopher Theofanidis, Frank Ticheli, John Wineglass, Sir James Macmillan, and Chen Yi. In both 2005 and 2010, the Symphony received the prestigious ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming. Also in 2010, a study by the League of American Orchestras, Fearless Journeys, included the Symphony as one of the country’s five most innovative orchestras. The Symphony’s awardwinning education and community engagement programs benefit from the vision of St.Clair and are designed to integrate the orchestra and its music into the community in ways that stimulate all ages. Pacific Symphony is proud to partner with the GRAMMY-winning Pacific Chorale on this program.

Choral Festival Resumes After 3 Year Hiatus

What is better than attending a Pacific Chorale concert? Being in one! After a three-day intensive rehearsal schedule with Artistic Director Robert Istad, 136 community members joined Pacific Chorale to create the Pacific Chorale Festival Chorus for a free concert at Renée & Henry Segerstrom Concert on Sunday, August 14, 2022.

Dedicated to our beloved friend, Southern California composer Morten Lauridsen, the program featured a world premiere of Hommage à Lauridsen, an organ solo composed and performed by Dr. Jung-A Lee, a stunning duet of Prayer (On a Poem by Dana Gioia) performed by soprano Rebecca Hasquet and baritone Jared Daniel Jones, with Dr. David Clemensen on piano, and closed with the Festival Chorus singing Sure on This Shining Night and Lux Aeterna

BACK IN CLASS

Pacific Chorale Academy, our award-winning afterschool elementary program, is delighted to be back to live instruction after almost two years of pandemic restrictions. A spring residency at Pomona Elementary in Costa Mesa and a summer workshop at the Boys & Girls Club of Garden Grove helped young singers explore their voices, build collaborative skills, and learn to love singing. Free in-person instruction will continue this fall for low-income students at selected partner sites and is an important part of Pacific Chorale’s commitment to increasing arts access.

HELP YOURSELF AND THE CHORALE!

ENDING THE YEAR WELL

GET A HEAD START ON YOUR YEAR-END TAX PLANNING

IRA CHARITABLE ROLLOVER

Congress made permanent the law that allows people age 70½ or older who own an IRA to make gifts directly from their IRA to nonprofits like ours. For many patrons, this is the best tax-wise way to give. An IRA rollover gift will not be included in your taxable income and may qualify for your required minimum distribution.

****

OUTRIGHT GIFT OF AN ASSET

If you wish to make a gift to support the Chorale, but are concerned about holding onto cash, consider a gift of an appreciated asset. A gift of securities, business interests or real estate can provide you with substantial income and capital gains tax savings, often exceeding the benefits of a cash gift.

****

DONOR ADVISED FUND (DAF)

One increasingly popular strategy to consider, even for small investors, is gifting from a DAF. It is a sort of personalized, charitable savings account, one with significant tax advantages. You may contribute cash, stocks, real estate or other assets to an account to invest for tax-free growth. Then, you recommend grants to nonprofits like the Chorale.

****

ZERO-TAX GIFT AND SALE

If you plan to sell an asset like securities, real estate or a business, before you sell, consider a "zero-tax" charitable gift and sale. By making a gift of part or all of the asset before the sale, you can use a taxsaving charitable deduction to lower or even eliminate the capital gains tax on the sale.

****

CONSIDER THESE WORTHWHILE STRATEGIES BEFORE THE YEAR’S END.

Selling securities, real estate or a business this year?

Consider planning strategies to avoid capital gains tax.

Age 70½ or older?

Making a gift from your IRA can be a tax-wise way to support the Chorale.

Own an IRA and/or 401(k)?

Be sure to maximize your deductible contributions.

Expect to be in a higher tax bracket?

Talk to your tax advisor to find out how giving to the Chorale might help manage your taxes.

Expect to be in a lower tax bracket?

Consider shifting income to this year.

Have investment losers?

Sell to offset winners and lower your capital gains tax.

Give the "oldfashioned" way! Send a check, pay by credit card, send a wire!

Yes, you can even talk to a person!

Give us a call to talk about what makes the best sense for you!

There’s nothing like the experience of watching an amazing film in a big, dark theatre. But when you find yourself in the sun, make sure to apply the proper sunscreen.

Bohemian rhapsody

TRUTH, BEAUTY, FREEDOM, and—above all—Love. Moulin Rouge! The Musical embodies that motto and more as Baz Luhrmann’s revolutionary film comes to life onstage at Segerstrom Center next month. Audiences will enter a world of splendor and romance, eye-popping excess, glitz, grandeur, and glory, remixed in a new musical mash-up extravaganza. “Can Moulin Rouge! deliver? Yes, it can-can,” says the Guardian

The show dials up the glitter for the largerthan-life romance between Satine, the beautiful demimondaine, and Christian, a poor, bohemian composer just arrived from Ohio. Their forbidden love is threatened by a rich duke who wants Satine as his own and will use all his wiles (and money) to obtain her. It plays out in the sumptuous surroundings of the Moulin Rouge, a nightclub “where all your dreams come true.”

This is a world where bohemians rub elbows

with aristocrats, and everyone revels in the grandeur of Paris in the 1890s Belle Époque. “All is permitted, all is forgiven, in the name of love,” says The New York Times. “Bohemian poverty is exquisitely picturesque. What this emporium of impure temptations is really selling is pure escapism.”

“The show’s rock-concert-adjacent, frenetic, hallucinogenic, sequin-tsunami aesthetic is almost impossible to resist,” says the Chicago Sun-Times. “The 10-time Tony Award winner captures the fever-dream pace, the lavish excess and the irresistible music of its titular inspiration in countless spangly ways.”

Moulin Rouge! has been described as a jukebox musical, but what a jukebox! Broadway News praises the “megawatt musical numbers.” More than 70 songs are featured, some in medleys and mash-ups that can mix different decades together, including music written since the movie came out. Mashable raved, “This is the best of what a jukebox musical can be; a thrilling burst of color and chorus and nostalgia and reimagining.”

It opens with Patti LaBelle’s “Lady Marmalade” which, in this environment, sounds as if it was written for the production. From there, the music is continued by Madonna, Annie Lennox, Sting, Adele, The Rolling Stones, Katy Perry, David Bowie, Lorde, Tina Turner, Elton John and more. Even The Sound of Music gets a mention.

Luhrmann is delighted with the reimagined production. “When it came to bringing Moulin Rouge! to the stage, I knew I was not the right person to reinterpret something I had made years ago,” says Luhrmann. “This new theatrical production absolutely honors the movie but finds a new life that is exciting and vital for this audience. Something I’d been intimately involved in is now living new and fresh.”

BodyTraffic accelerates its dance reputation

came from the East Coast. They follow a long history of creative people who have migrated west to Los Angeles, full of inspiration and excitement for the possibilities, and made it their own. And over the years, Los Angeles has become known as a great dance city. “Right now L.A. is one of the hottest places for dance,” says Barbeito. “It’s always been the place for commercial dancers… but now concert dance feels very exciting.”

Berkett was dancing in Mikhail Baryshnikov’s Hell’s Kitchen Dance company when she made the decision to move. (She was a founding member of his company.) “What are you going to do there?” Baryshnikov asked her. “Who are you going to dance with? How are you going to build a career?” He needn’t have worried. “I love it here,” says Berkett. “It’s been amazing. There’s so much pride when we go on tour and say we are from L.A.”

HOW APPROPRIATE that a dance company founded and based in Los Angeles would include the word “traffic” in its name. But unlike the local roadways, traffic lights are always green for BodyTraffic as it continues to move speedily from one success to another. The company will make its Center debut November 3 for a one-nightonly performance in Segerstrom Hall.

Founded in 2007, BodyTraffic has built a loyal following through highly accessible programming and technically faultless performances. Its talented dancers have quickly become known for their versatility, presenting works by a range of prominent contemporary choreographers. The New York Times calls BodyTraffic “the company of the future.” The Boston Globe writes that its style “suggests invention, attitude and urban edge.” “BodyTraffic is one of the most talked about companies—not just in L.A., but nationwide,” says the Los Angeles Times. “The company is a welcome addition to the local dance scene.”

Ironically, both of BodyTraffic’s founders, Lillian Rose Barbeito and Tina Finkelman Berkett,

BodyTraffic has taken the name all over the world. It has toured extensively, and performed in the Holland Dance Festival in the Netherlands, and in prima ballerina Diana Vishneva’s CONTEXT Festival in Moscow and St. Petersburg. In 2015 the Obama administration selected BodyTraffic to be a cultural ambassador to Israel and Jordan through a program set up by the State Department. It also served as cultural ambassadors to South Korea (2016), Algeria (2017-18) and Indonesia (2018).

At its core, BodyTraffic wants its performances to inspire audiences to simply love dance. Its universal appeal to dance lovers and new audiences alike means it is never anything less than entertaining. “It’s not every day that, even before a company finished the first piece, I think: ‘And now I have a new company to love,’” says the reviewer for the Herald Sun. We think BodyTraffic will also become a Center favorite.

Don’t miss these stellar performances coming next month!

Acclaimed chamber ensemble Calidore String Quartet returns to Samueli Theater with a program of works by Beethoven and Smetana, and the world premiere of String Quartet No. 2 by acclaimed composer Han Lash. The name, an amalgamation of “California” and “doré” (French for “golden”), represents the ensemble’s reverence for the diversity of culture and the strong support it received from its original home: Los Angeles, California, the “Golden State.”

SAMUELI THEATER November 2 | Tickets start at $29

Vijay Iyer was a doctoral student studying physics at University of California Berkeley when he decided this was no longer where his interest lay. What he really wanted to do was play jazz music. You can experience the result when the composer and pianist comes to Samueli Theater in November and shows why he has earned a place as one of the leading jazz music-makers of his generation. He will be joined by iconic altosaxophonist Matt Brewer and drummer Jeremy Dutton.

SAMUELI THEATER November 5 | Tickets start at $59

An evening with Lila Downs is a fascinating musical journey. Her music is as varied as the ancient cultures that serve as her inspiration. She reinterprets various styles of contemporary music and weaves them with traditional Mexican and Mesoamerican music. The Washington Post describes Downs’ sound as “cumbia-rock and ranchera-rap, electric guitars and requintos, brassy mariachis and bluesy boleros, old folk tales and new social-justice anthems that all make perfect sense together.”

Kim Walnut Villager world traveler artist

I spent a lot of time creating my own ideal world. But I never wanted to be an island unto myself. One of the things I love most about moving to Walnut Village is that it really is a village. I have my own place, but there’s a fun community just outside my door. A morning class at Clay’s art studio, a beauty treatment at the Strand salon, Happy Hour at the Red Chair Lounge with friends. For me, it’s the best of all my worlds.

Belinda Carlisle is one of those rare talents who continues to remain relevant after four decades in the business. As co-founder and lead vocalist of The Go-Go’s, the glamorous and gifted singsongwriter has touched the hearts of pop fans around the world. Now is your opportunity to go-go to the Center to see a one-night-only performance by Carlisle singing hits by the band and from her solo albums.

The Go-Go’s were a feisty, groundbreaking all-female new wave/rock band that played a pivotal role in setting the tone of the 1980s with their self-penned works, including “We Got the Beat” and “Our Lips Are Sealed.” The band amassed worldwide sales of more than 15 million albums and singles and have been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

After the band broke up in 1985, Carlisle continued a successful solo career based on her musical individuality and authenticity. Her single “Heaven is a Place on Earth” was a huge hit. Carlisle doesn’t see a need to slow down on her amazing career. A new generation is discovering her hits and continuing to keep her front and center with her timeless music.

Farruquito returns to Segerstrom Center for one night only November 9 with his new show, Intimo Farruquito, which recounts the origins and history of flamenco while revealing the dancer’s most personal side. Using traditional flamenco styles, he conveys emotion, power and beauty in each movement.

His grandfather started Farruquito stage at the age of four: He would watch from the wings, and sometimes join the dancers onstage. As the principal inheritor of the greatest Gypsy flamenco bloodline, Farruquito has made it his life’s mission to share the purest form of flamenco around the world. He says his grandfather told him to “fly while staying true to tradition,” he told The New York Times. This is “flamenco the way it’s always been done. I pay tribute to the history of flamenco and to my family, who did it that way.”

The performance doesn’t have a big set or fancy costumes. Together with a stellar cast of dancers, musicians and vocalists, Farruquito evokes a journey through flamenco full of sensations and freedom; returning his roots to the stage while contemplating the world from within.

Center philanthropists plant seeds for the future of the arts

WHEN HAMILTON, the smash hit musical, returned to the Center this month, Center philanthropists took to heart the show’s call to “Rise Up.” Jaynine Warner and Mara Murray, co-chairs of the Hamilton Benefit Performance and Celebration, raised funds for the Center’s exceptional education and community engagement programs.

Both have a passion for the arts and for the show itself. “I love how Hamilton invigorated the theater while inspiring a generation of arts patrons, creators and performers, all through the lens of American history,” says Warner. Murray agrees, saying “The production seamlessly blends Hip Hop culture with traditional American history, creating an inclusive theatrical experience by broadening and diversifying interest in the performing arts.”

A member of the Center’s Board of Directors and vice chair of the Education Committee, Warner is also active with Center support group Angels of the Arts and the Rising Leaders Council, and is the founding president of A2A (Avenue to the Arts), a group devoted to introducing the arts to new audiences. Murray serves on the board of directors of both A2A and Angels of the Arts.

Lead sponsors for the event were the Murray, Schwartz, and Warner families. Additionally, Karla Kraft with her husband Anderee Berengian, and Avenue of the Arts Hotel not only sponsored the Benefit performance, but were also production underwriters. Kraft, a litigation attorney and shareholder at Stradling Yocca

Carlson and Rauth, was awarded Segerstrom Center’s 2019 Rising Arts and Business Leader Award, is a member of the Angels of the Arts and recently joined the Center’s Board of Directors.

Located directly across from the Center, Avenue of the Arts Costa Mesa, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, with its luxurious, arts-inspired decor is a home away from home for artists performing at the Center. Besides being a production underwriter for Hamilton, the hotel has supported the Center’s Education and Community Engagement programs for many years. Most recently, the hotel installed in their lobby a hand-made art mural created by Taft Elementary students with artist Markus Tracy as part of the Center’s Arts Teach program.

Philanthropy makes Segerstrom Center for the Arts’ renowned Education and Community Engagement programs possible. Our Education team works closely with boards of education, teachers and parents to ensure the success and effectiveness of the Center’s programs in the classroom and on the Center campus. This helps foster a more thoughtful and inclusive learning community and improve academic achievement.

Our Community Engagement programs bring creativity and connectivity to Orange County’s diverse community, with inclusive initiatives like year-round, free cultural events on the Julianne and George Argyros Plaza.

“What impresses me most about Segerstrom Center for the Arts is its overall dedication and commitment to exposing young people of all backgrounds to the magic and beauty of the performing arts,” says Murray.

“Legacy. What is a legacy? It’s planting seeds in a garden you never get to see.” — Hamilton

Enjoy a performance: it can make you healthy!

our mission, which compels us to advance total health—both in care settings and across our communities.”

In the past two years, physical and mental health have been in the spotlight. The stress and isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic had a profound effect on the well-being of our population. During that time, the Center continued to provide online and open-air entertainment while theaters were dark. From live music to free dance lessons on Zoom, the Center created content that drew performing arts fans together and lifted spirits. Events on the plaza were well attended, with participants safely spaced in marked-off squares 6 feet apart.

CAN WE SAY that people who attend performing arts events at the Center are often healthier than those who don’t? We’re just quoting the renowned Mayo Clinic, which says they tend to “have lower anxiety and are less likely to suffer from depression.” The clinic goes on, “Laughter is a great way to relieve stress. It boosts endorphins—the brain’s feel-good chemical— and sends extra oxygen to your organs, strengthening your immune system.” Those musical comedies do something good for you!

Kaiser Permanente, Official Health Care Partner of the Center, agrees. The two organizations have begun a three-year partnership that will focus on wellness as a core value of the Center’s mission and programming.

“We’re excited about our work with Segerstrom Center for the Arts. It’s particularly meaningful because we share a vision of what it means to make a difference and build up our communities together,” says John Stratman, who serves on the Center’s board of directors and is senior director of public affairs and brand communication for Kaiser Permanente Orange County. “At Kaiser Permanente, we’re driven by

Kaiser Permanente highlights the health benefits of the arts to help our community overcome the stifling effects of the pandemic period and feel comfortable again attending live performances inside the theaters. Additionally, Kaiser Permanente is the lead sponsor of Wellness events hosted on the Julianne and George Argyros Arts Plaza. These include the Tuesday Night Dance series and Silent Disco events, the All-Abilities Celebration, and Movie Mondays. All are a great way to relax and enjoy the experience along with like-minded fans. In July, Kaiser Permanente helped kick off the Movie Mondays Series with Moulin Rouge, the megahit starring Nicole Kidman, in anticipation of Moulin Rouge! the Musical which opens in November. The festivities held before the screening started included giveaways, popcorn and activities.

More events are planned for this season, and, with the support of Kaiser Permanente, we hope our patrons will be attending performances and activities at the Center that will help make them healthy and happy.
