2014-15
SEASON
WELCOME Our 2014-15 concert season bears the mark of our success in the past couple of seasons in establishing strong partnerships within the Seattle arts community. Specifically, we are thrilled to see the results of our work with area arts organizations such as the Seattle Symphony and Pacific MusicWorks inspiring our students, faculty, and the greater community to strive for new heights of excellence in performance and listening. In our upcoming season, the musicians of the UW Symphony Orchestra will have two extra special opportunities to learn and perform with the leadership and musicians of Seattle Symphony. On January 23, our orchestra goes downtown to Benaroya Hall for a performance of Poulenc’s Double Piano Concerto (featuring faculty pianists Robin McCabe and Craig Sheppard), a new work by faculty composer JoëlFrançois Durand, and a conducting appearance by affiliate professor Ludovic Morlot. And then, on April 24, the SSO returns the favor by coming to campus to perform, side-by-side with our wonderful student musicians, a performance we are delighted to present free of charge to the citizens of Seattle. Our fledgling collaboration with early music production company Pacific MusicWorks (PMW) took flight last spring with an astonishing staging of Handel’s oratorio Semele. This season, PMW artistic director and School of Music faculty artist Stephen Stubbs returns to conduct Mozart’s beloved opera The Magic Flute, the region’s first-ever historically informed performance with a classical orchestra. Seattle director (and UW alumnus) Dan Wallace Miller directs this fully-staged professional production, which, in addition to showcasing the talents of professional musicians such as new UW voice faculty member Cyndia Sieden as Queen of the Night, will feature performances by some of our top UW voice and instrumental performance students. Other performances of note on our concert calendar include recitals and concerts at Meany Theater by some of our talented faculty musicians, including violist Melia Watras (Jan. 11), and pianists Marc Seales (Feb. 21), Robin McCabe (March 2) and Craig Sheppard (April 25). Several of our Jazz Studies faculty, meanwhile, will join together with students and visiting professional jazz musicians at the UW Ethnic Cultural Center May 1-3 when the School of Music, in collaboration with the student-run Improvised Music Project, proudly presents the Seventh Annual Improvised Music Project Festival (IMPFest). Headliners for this year include modern jazz icon Steve Swallow, bass; and NYC saxophonist Chris Cheek, with appearances each night by Jazz Studies faculty Bill Frisell, guitar, Cuong Vu, trumpet, and Ted Poor, drums. The School’s director of orchestral activities, David Alexander Rahbee, has put together a rigorous performance schedule for the University of Washington Symphony Orchestra, with performances at Meany Theater on Oct. 30, Dec. 5, March 13, April 24 (with members of Seattle Symphony), and June 5 (with the combined UW Choirs), in addition to the aforementioned concert Jan. 23 at Benaroya Hall. A smaller group made of members of the orchestra performs at Meany on Feb. 20 and at the UW Hub Lyceum on Feb. 19, marking UW Music’s return to that historic venue after a decades-long absence. The above-mentioned highlights are only a few of the notable performances and events contained in our 2014-15 concert season. We invite you to join us.

Opera: Mozart
The Magic
Flute
May 8, 9, & 10 2015 One of Mozart’s crowning achievements, The Magic Flute is a potent alchemical mixture of popular music and theater with a depth of meaning that is still mysterious and controversial. The fact that Mozart had steeped himself in the music of Handel and Bach in the years leading up to The Magic Flute makes it also a personal testament to his admiration for their art. This production combines an entirely new staging conception by director Dan Wallace Miller with the astounding vocal power of soprano Cyndia Sieden, one of the reigning “Queens of the Night” in our time. Hear Stephen Stubbs conduct Mozart’s beloved opera performed in the Northwest’s first historically informed performance with a classical orchestra. Friday and Saturday, May 8 & 9 7:30 pm Sunday, May 10 2 pm Meany Theater Tickets: $65 / Seniors: $40 / Students: $25 UW Students: $10* Youth 5–19 free with accompanying paid general admission ticket holder.** Not a Notecard Event
