CONCERT ETIQUETTE The symphony orchestra came of age during the time when the concept of ‘reverential listening’ was first born. Music was no longer background entertainment, but rather composers were pouring bold and important ideas into their symphonic music. Symphonic music was conceived as art for our contemplation; it is an exciting experience to be met by our own intensity as listeners. It has become traditional for audiences at symphony concerts to observe a few simple rules in order to fully enjoy the experience of a live concert. Masks and Social Distancing: Due to current city mandate from the City of Springfield, it is required to wear a mask while attending Springfield Symphony concerts in Hammons Hall. Please always keep your mask on while in attendance of our performances. If you have a medical condition making you unable to fulfill this request, please notify a Hammons Hall usher. Socially distanced seating charts have been created in accordance with CDC, State, County, and City guidelines. We ask that you remain in your assigned seat printed on your Hammons Hall ticket to ensure proper social distancing. Late Arrivals: Patrons arriving after the beginning of a concert will not be seated until the first movement of the first work is finished. Talking: As a courtesy to those around you and to the musicians who must concentrate on their playing, patrons are asked to refrain from talking during the performance. Cell Phones, Pagers and Beeping Watches: Please do not bring these devices into the concert hall or make certain that the noise mechanism has been turned off. Photography and Recording Devices: The use of cameras or recording equipment inside the hall is strictly forbidden. When to Applaud: Many musical works consist of more than one section. These separate sections (called ‘movements’) are always listed in your program book. It is customary to hold applause until after the entire work is completed. Of course, your applause is always appreciated by the members of the orchestra. The Springfield Symphony Orchestra and the members of the orchestra are delighted that you have chosen to spend an evening with us. Whether you are sitting in Hammons Hall or watching the livestream at home, we hope that you have a very enjoyable time and look forward to having you with us throughout the season. 6
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Welcome to the 86th consecutive season of the Springfield Symphony Orchestra (SSO): “Comfort Food”. In this different and challenging environment, the board, staff, and musicians of your symphony are working diligently, fulfilling our mission “to provide the highest level of symphonic music and music education to all Southwest Missouri.” To that end, we are offering a musical season to provide both comfort and a sense of normalcy for our patrons and community while maintaining the same high standards you have come to enjoy. While we strive to continue providing the highest standard of entertainment, we recognize we have to adapt to the unprecedented changes in our community. As we take necessary steps to protect our patrons and musicians, we believe we will still meet your expectations with a season filled with your favorite composers and musical selections. We extend our sincerest appreciation to all our sponsors, donors, and patrons. May you find comfort and enjoyment this season as we share a “menu” of works from your favorite composers! David P. Kean, SSO President

MUSIC DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE This has been a difficult year for all of us, and I want the Springfield Symphony to bring a sense of normalcy, familiarity, and comfort to our audiences and ourselves alike. Comfort foods have a universal appeal and serve a universal need. We all need to feel safe, loved, and nurtured, and there is almost nothing in the world that brings us these feelings like a big plate of our favorite food. Comfort foods take us back to happy memories, dear family and friends, and a sense of belonging, security, and familiarity. This season, I have chosen music to bring comfort and happiness to our community much in the way favorite foods like spaghetti and meatballs, chicken noodle soup, freshly baked bread, or apple pie bring comfort. I am so glad you have joined us at the table for a symphony season of musical comfort foods. Whether you are sitting in Hammons Hall or watching a livestream at home, we are grateful that you are with us, and we hope our music gives your soul a lift! Kyle Wiley Pickett
Music Director and Conductor, Springfield Symphony Orchestra

EDUCATION & OUTREACH The Springfield Symphony’s education and outreach programs are funded through the generosity of businesses, foundations, and individuals who know the value of education and cultural enrichment through music. These programs include a variety of interactive concerts both in and out of the concert hall with large and small ensembles.
ANNUAL YOUNG PEOPLE’S CONCERTS The annual Young People’s Concert (YPC) brings together students to gain valuable exposure to elements of musical styles and eras. This season, our audience includes invited students to attend virtually from all public schools, private schools, and home schools in Southwest Missouri. Our Young People’s Concert is specifically designed to be an in-depth learning experience. Teachers and chaperones may register their students for our first virtual YPC at www.springfieldmosymphony.org/young-peoples‑concerts. Before the performance, the teachers discuss important elements of the musical experience with each class enabling them to integrate the concert experience into the students’ curriculum. Our Young People’s Concert will be released virtually on January 26, 2021. The music is interspersed with entertaining facts about each composition and musical instrumentation is explained, as are differences in musical styles.
ENSEMBLES-IN-SCHOOLS PROGRAM The Ensembles-in-Schools program allows small groups of Springfield Symphony musicians to travel to area elementary and middle schools to perform for the students. Each small ensemble presents a 30-minute program for up to 200 students at each school. Our program is designed to heighten awareness of the many varieties of musical styles, explain why different musical instruments create different sounds, and to demonstrate how music expresses emotions and creates beauty. A question-and-answer session follows each performance allowing the young students to learn from the musicians. The overall experience creates a more rewarding educational experience for the student attendees. Modifications may be made due to COVID guidelines.
MUSGRAVE COMMUNITY BALCONY/ STUDENTS AT THE SYMPHONY With an endowment set up by the Musgrave Foundation, the entire petite 36
balcony is designated for every concert to youth or underserved people in the community, free of charge, in collaboration with area nonprofits and schools. This will provide 3,033 (337 per concert) people the chance to see the Symphony for free.
HELLAM YOUNG ARTISTS’ COMPETITION The 24th Annual Hellam Young Artists’ Competition will be held on Saturday, February 27, 2021. The Competition is open to musicians 1826 years of age who are currently enrolled in undergraduate studies in colleges and universities or in music conservatories. It was founded by Dr. Duane and Judy Hellam, and is directed and partially underwritten by Judy Hellam. Its purpose is to provide a valid professional evaluation of performance art by young virtuosi in a competitive setting. In addition, private conferences and discussions with jurors are available to any and all competitors at their request following performances. Competitions such as this, held in many venues nationally, provide important elements of the Curricula vitae of these young virtuosi. The efforts of the Competition are sustained by contributions from underwriters, business sponsors, host families and volunteers.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH FUND This fund enables small ensembles and groups of Symphony musicians to perform at various charitable and community-oriented events throughout the city. Examples include a performance for a CoxHealth event that benefits the Boys and Girls Club, the Springfield Business Journal Economic Impact Awards, the Leadership Springfield Breakfast, the Springfield Regional Arts Council’s Ozzie Awards, and the Springfield News-Leader’s Salute to Nurses. With this fund, the Symphony hopes to spread the joy of music throughout the community, furthering its mission: to provide the people of Southwest Missouri with the highest level of symphonic music and music education.
MUSICIANS’ INITIATIVE FUND Overseen entirely by musicians of the Springfield Symphony, this fund was developed to encourage members of the orchestra to create new programs and ways of furthering the orchestra’s community and outreach goals. Furthermore, it gives individual musicians the opportunity to identify and address music-related needs within the community on a far more personal level, for example, providing instruments or new strings for music students who may not have access to them. 37

A HISTORY OF THE SPRINGFIELD SYMPHONY: 1934 – PRESENT The Springfield Symphony Orchestra (SSO) came to life in the spring of 1934 after a group of Springfield High School students approached their music teacher, James Robertson, about forming a civic orchestra. With Robertson as the conductor, the orchestra performed its first concert on February 26, 1935, in Clara Thompson Hall, on the campus of Drury University. In 1936 a Board of Directors was formed, and beginning in 1943, orchestra members began receiving payment for their services – 50 cents an hour! In 1936 a Board of Directors was formed and in 1942 the symphony joined 39 other orchestras from across the country in founding the American Symphony Orchestra League. Now known as the League of American Orchestras, it is still the largest and most prestigious international body representing the orchestral industry today. In 1956, the Women’s Division of the SSO was established. This dynamic group of volunteers is alive and well today in the form the SSO Guild and has been instrumental in many major fundraising projects for the Symphony throughout its existence. Beginning with James Robertson, the SSO has had a total of eight conductors, each of whom have brought incredible talents, as well as the shared desire of building a great orchestra for a great city. 1934 -- 1950 James Robertson 1950 -- 1955 David Blumenthal 1955 -- 1966 Chester Moffatt 1966 -- 1978 Charles Hall 1978 -- 1994 Charles Bontrager 1995 -- 2003 Apo Hsu 2004 -- 2012 Ron Spigelman 2013 -- Present Kyle Wiley Pickett During the 2012-2013 season, the search for a new music director/conductor began. Six finalists were chosen and each one appeared with the orchestra throughout the season. After an evaluation process, our current conductor Kyle Wiley Pickett was named as the eighth music director/conductor of the Symphony. Pickett has worked to integrate the community directly into SSO concerts. The SSO has become more involved in serving the underprivileged and underserved individuals of the Springfield community through several education and outreach programs. These programs include Behind the Baton, Young People’s Concerts (YPC), Ensembles-InSchools, Community Outreach fund, and two free community concerts. Today, the Symphony is comprised of approximately 70 professional musicians, with tenures ranging from 1 to 50 years. Most recently, the SSO Board of Directors has established the Community Balcony, designed to expand the Symphony experience to as many people as possible, regardless of socioeconomic status. Always striving for new ways to enhance and contribute to the city of Springfield, the Symphony is thrilled to be ushering in a new era in its long and illustrious history; one it hopes will bring an unprecedented level of arts accessibility and relevance to the community. 63
