GLOBAL SPONSOR OF THE CSO

We are pleased to welcome you back for concerts featuring the great Chicago Symphony Orchestra as well as esteemed guest artists on the Symphony Center Presents series.

We begin with two weeks of subscription concerts con-ducted by Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti. The first program includes such evocative works as Bizet’s Roma, Respighi’s Pines of Rome, and Berlioz’s The Death of Cleopatra with mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato. For Muti’s second May program, he and the Orchestra are joined by pianist Mitsuko Uchida in Mozart’s Piano Concerto no. 20. Also on the pro-gram are Mozart’s Overture to The Marriage of Figaro and Stravinsky’s Suite from The Firebird.

CSO subscription concerts continue with the anticipated return of violinist Hilary Hahn, performing Sibelius’s Violin Concerto on a program conducted by Mikko Franck that also includes Rachmaninov’s Second Symphony and A Requiem in Our Time, a work for symphonic brass by Rautavaara.

Next, conductor Giancarlo Guerrero makes his Orchestra Hall debut with compo-sitions by Ginastera, Chabrier, and Piazzolla in addition to Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez, performed by guitarist Pablo Sáinz Villegas.

The Symphony Center Presents series offers a range of programs highlight-ing the artistry of distinguished musicians across genres. May begins with Itzhak Perlman and Evgeny Kissin in violin sonatas by Mozart, Brahms, and Beethoven. Kissin returns for the SCP Piano series on May 12. The SCP Jazz series features pia-nist Jason Moran with his wife, mezzo-soprano Alicia Hall Moran, in Two Wings: The Music of Black America in Migration, an SCP commission in honor of the Jazz series’ twenty-fifth anniversary season.

In addition to CSO and SCP performances, the Negaunee Music Institute presents Pictures from an Exhibition, conducted by Thomas Wilkins, on the CSO School Concerts and Family Matinee series. On May 12, the Civic Orchestra of Chicago and conductor Ken-David Masur give the world premiere of Cerrone’s Meander, Spiral, Explode featuring Third Coast Percussion.

We thank you for your continued patronage of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association and hope to see you often at this impressive array of concerts. We also encourage you not to delay in making your plans for the 2019–20 season. By subscribing, you can guarantee your best options to participate in what will be a season to remember.

The tour began with a return appearance for Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to the Kravis

Center’s Alexander W. Dreyfoos, Jr. Concert Hall on February 26. “The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s magnif-icent concert Tuesday night in West Palm Beach showed audiences the difference between a good orchestra and a great one,” wrote David Fleshler of the South Florida Classical Review. “Under music director Riccardo Muti, the orchestra gave a concert at the Kravis Center that is sure to rank with the season’s best—a memorable evening of classics by a virtuoso orchestra before an audience that was clearly absorbed in the performance,” he contin-ued. This first concert program, which was performed a second time days later in Naples, opened with Beethoven’s Leonore Overture no. 3 and continued with his Fifth and Seventh symphonies.

The performances of this core orchestral repertoire were revelatory and the music well worth revisiting in the expert hands of Muti and the CSO. “Under Muti, however, the orchestra played with such gripping power that the

familiar music emerged uncommonly fresh and recovered much of its original elemental force,” commented Fleshler. “The expansive reading of Leonore no. 3 showed off the orchestra’s virtuos-ity while conveying the dramatic arc of Fidelio,” wrote David Rice of Classical Source. The Palm Beach Daily News praised the performance of the

Seventh, describing it as “infused with brilliant, energetic playing.” But, according to Harriet Howard Heithaus of the Naples Daily News, it was the Symphony no. 5 that “showed the orchestra at its most enthusiastic and responsive. . . . Its performance revealed the layers of the music without losing the building blocks of its architec-ture.” Classical Source added, “Muti maintained high intensity all the way through the seemingly

endless coda—rife with false endings—making the final chords come as a release of almost unbearable tension.” “The best way to describe an all-Beethoven concert with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to the musically uninitiated,” noted Heithaus, “It’s the whole pint of Talenti salted caramel chocolate gelato. With a soup spoon.” If this is true, then Chicago audiences are in for a decadent treat next season when Muti and the Orchestra perform all nine of Beethoven’s symphonies in honor of his semiquincentennial.

After West Palm Beach, the tour con-tinued with Muti and the Orchestra’s first performance together at Miami’s

Knight Concert Hall on February 27. Presented by the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, the concert featured the second program of the tour with Tchaikovsky’s Symphony no. 5 and Rimsky-Korsakov’s Sheherazade, which was also performed in Naples on March 2. “These Russian showpieces glowed anew as true mas-terworks,” said Lawrence Budman of the South Florida Classical Review. “From the first bars,” of Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony, he contin-ued, “Muti generated the work’s emotional velocity through supple phrasing rather than exaggerated bombast. Tchaikovsky’s melodies soared under Muti’s baton and his keen ear for detail drew out the inner voices.” Budman praised the brass section for the “strength at the climaxes with their mellow corporate blend bereft of harsh-ness” as well as the eight basses that “could be felt as well as heard” at the conclusion of the first movement. Stefán Ragnar Höskuldsson’s “silvery flute,” Jennifer Gunn’s “bright piccolo,” and Daniel Gingrich’s “large, vibrant horn sonority” were also singled out.

Sebastian Spreng of Miami Clásica described the performance of Sheherazade as an “impressive chromatic palette of unprecedented transparency.” He and other journalists complimented several featured members of the Orchestra: “Robert Chen’s finely wrought solos, embellished by Sarah Bullen’s harp” were frequently mentioned, as were the “warmth” of Keith Buncke’s bassoon in The Tale of the Kalandar Prince movement, Stephen

Williamson’s “delightful riffs” in The Young Prince and the Young Princess, and John Sharp’s “beau-tifully flowing cello solo was devoid of syrupy excess” (Miami Clásica, Classical Source, and South Florida Classical Review).

“A little Italian music” was offered as an encore throughout the tour: the intermezzo from Giordano’s opera Fedora, which allowed, “Muti to indulge his passion for opera, and this mostly string transcription was the perfect Italian sor-betto to end an evening of glorious orchestral playing” (South Florida Classical Review, and note, yet another reference to Italian delicacies).

The performances in Frances Pew Hayes Hall on February 28 and March 2 presented by Artis–Naples marked the

beginning of a three-year residency that includes multiple community performances. Between their two concerts this season, musicians participated in educational activities organized by the CSOA’s Negaunee Music Institute. One group traveled to nearby Immokalee High School to perform for students in middle- and high-school ensem-bles. Oto Carrillo (horn), Sunghee Choi (viola), Michael Hovnanian (bass), Russell Hershow (violin), Mihaela Ionescu (violin), and Vadim

Karpinos (percussion) gave an interactive chamber music per-formance at the high school. A highlight was the performance of Leroy Anderson’s The Typewriter (1950), which uses a vintage Smith-Corona as a percus-sion instrument.

Another group conducted master classes on the Artis–Naples campus for members of the Naples Philharmonic Youth Orchestra. Among the instructors were principal second violin Baird Dodge, acting principal viola Li-Kuo Chang, principal cello John Sharp, and assistant principal clarinet John Bruce Yeh. The master classes served as an integral part of the CSO’s residency at Artis–Naples. Open to the public, the master classes offered, “an intimate look into of the process of making a musical work ready for performance for the audience. They’re free; they’re fascinating; and they bring new ears to listeners” (Naples Daily News). As an added bonus, students participating in the master classes were given tickets to see the Orchestra for the Saturday night performance.

In fact, members of the Orchestra went into the communities to work with young musi-cians during every stop of the Florida tour. In West Palm Beach, on February 25, members performed the Once Upon a Symphony produc-tion of The Ugly Duckling for the young students of Palm Beach Day Academy and Opportunity Early Childhood Education and Family Center. Produced and presented in collaboration with Chicago Children’s Theatre, the family friendly performance featured Emma Gerstein (flute),

Lora Schaefer (oboe), David Griffin (horn), Gary Stucka (cello), and actor Lily Emerson. On February 26, CSO musicians including David Taylor (assistant concertmaster), Sylvia Kilcullen (assistant principal second violin), Li-Kuo Chang (acting principal viola), John Sharp (principal cello), and Daniel Armstrong (bass) led section-als at the Dreyfoos School for the Arts in West Palm Beach. In Miami, Stephen Williamson (principal clarinet), Dennis Michel (bassoon), and Michael Mulcahy (trombone) gave master classes for members of the New World Symphony at the Frank Gehry–designed New World Center, which opened in 2011 and serves as the home of the orchestra, a training ensemble established in 1987 by conductor-composer Michael Tilson Thomas. Florida students delighted in these rare opportunities to learn from the finest orches-tral musicians. Heithaus of the Naples Daily News encouraged locals to attend public master classes to witness this important exchange of professional-level experience and skill to stu-dents; here “the teacher works as a chef, finding the right ingredients and the right techniques to make the performance its absolute best—the most delicious—it can be.”

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra thanks the following donors for generously supporting its appearance in Florida during 2019: Bank of America, Global Sponsor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra; The Lauter McDougal Charitable Fund; Mr. and Mrs. Verne G. Istock; Robert Kohl and Clark Pellett; and the Zell Family Foundation.

Words of Appreciation for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra

“ The CSO represents all that is beautiful about cultural differences. . . . Chicago and its sur-rounding areas are so very fortunate to have this local gem within our proximity and yet, be able to experience and enjoy music from around the world.”

JACALYN GRONEK

“ The CSO’s musicians and Maestro Muti put not just their immense talent, but also their souls, into every note and phrase. And, our souls feel better for it! . . . We always leave Symphony Center in a “higher” place . . . and with smiles on our faces.

VICKI AND BARRY KAUFMAN

“ We are truly blessed to have an orchestra of such consummate artistry so readily accessible. It is an honor to contrib-ute to its continuation for the inspiration of future generations.

EDWARD J. AMREIN

“ The CSO is magical!”

AUGUST PEREIRA

“ I will never forget the feeling of being over-whelmed by the sheer virtuosity of the orches-tra and the beautiful sound they produced.”

BRIAN PARK

“ We have been going to the symphony for decades. It is a treasured part of our cultural life.”

ALAN SCHRIESHEIM AND KAY TORSHEN

“ While the adult in me is deeply grateful each time I experience an exquisite CSO perfor-mance, it is the child in me who looks up at those twinkling palace lights, knowing that “not everyone gets to go,” and feeling so thankful for the privilege to do so.”

Auxiliary Education: The CSO’s Percussion Scholarship Program

T oday we’re working on flams!” declares Christopher, an unbounded source of pure energy that has taken the form of a

charismatic third grader. “We have our technique test next week, and I need to work on my open and closed drum rolls.” He then demonstrates the double-stroke (open roll), where he gradually speeds to a full roll before decelerating back to the original metered, alternating hand movements. Christopher is one of the newest members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s Percussion Scholarship Program (PSP).

Since its founding in 1995, PSP has offered intensive, weekly percussion instruction on full scholarship to Chicago youth in grades 4–12.

Students are admitted through a competitive pro-cess that includes a provisional period followed by an invitation to continue to participate through eighth grade, and a select group goes on through high school. The program’s founders direct the group: CSO percussion Patricia Dash and her husband, Chicago Lyric Opera Orchestra assistant principal percussion Douglas Waddell.

PSP exemplifies the mission of the CSO’s Negaunee Music Institute: a long-term com-mitment to music education under the highest pedagogical ideologies, void of financial and socio-discriminatory barriers. Students hail from neighborhoods across Chicago and proportion-ally reflect the city’s diverse population, includ-

ing African American, Latinx, and Asian American students, among others.

The program meets through-out the year and provides each student with free instruments and lesson materials. The Percussion Scholars perform four times each season at Symphony Center as an ensem-ble and offer a free concert for Chicago Public School students as part of the Chicago Youth in Music Festival. This season’s festival concert took place on February 11 and featured over 1,500 students in Orchestra Hall to hear a program that included everything from opera excerpts by Saint-Saëns to a trash can drumline set to rapper Macklemore’s beats and lyrics.

S ean, seventeen, a veteran of the program, now helps coach some of the

younger players. “I really like teaching the first-year players.” Cracking a smile, he adds, “It

reminds me how far I’ve come.” He works with Christopher on his flams and double-strokes. Christopher, who clearly looks up to Sean, soaks up all the advice.

In the past two seasons, Sean has appeared with PSP on an episode of NPR’s From the Top; was awarded the prestigious Jack Kent Cooke Foundation’s Young Artist Award; received a scholarship to Interlochen Arts Camp; was a finalist with the CSO’s Crain-Maling Foundation Young Artist Competition; and was selected to join Carnegie Hall’s distinguished NYO2 orches-tral program this coming summer.

J enny is the mother to twelve-year-old PSP student Mekhi. She and her husband do not mind all that the program asks of the

family members of participants—rehearsals, recitals, potlucks, etc.—because she sees results in her son’s musical development and overall work ethic. Their family lives in a duplex on the South Side, where they have set up a practice space for Mekhi in the top-floor living room—where the ambient sound is “minimized.” Coming home from work recently, Jenny was stopped by her neighbor, who said, “Mekhi’s marimba solo is really coming along!”

PSP’s spring recitals draw capacity crowds to Symphony Center’s Buntrock Hall.

Learning music fundamen-tals from trained and skilled instructors is an important step toward the development of new musicians. Good form, musical context, practice tips, and account-ability are all vital aspects of the formal training process. The advantage of having these lessons taught by world-class industry leaders is readily apparent in the improvement and skill level of the students.

Most musicians do not study with virtuosos until they are further along in their musical stud-ies. Even then, it tends to be one-off lessons in order to prepare for a major audition or recital. PSP demonstrates the benefits of having this level of training from the highest caliber of teach-ers from the very beginning of a musical career. Forty-eight weekends a year (yes, you read that correctly), with a strict, drill-sergeant-like adher-ence to the practice schedule, Patricia Dash and Douglas Waddell train all program participants.

The intrinsic value of this program is second-to-none (to say nothing of the “retail

value”). This is not a hyperbolic statement—the Percussion Scholarship Program is an anom-aly. Dissertations have been written about it; graduates go on to some of the most prestigious colleges and conservatories in the country; and Kent Nagano and the Montreal Symphony are currently considering using the PSP model to start a similar program. To add to all this, its leg-acy also includes the college graduation of every program participant.

Join the Theodore Thomas Society

Discover the benefits of making a legacy gift to your Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

Named in honor of the founding music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Theodore Thomas Society recognizes those who make financial plans to benefit the CSO in the future.

Music was a constant part of the social connection among my friends when I was a teenager. To listen to music back then required a radio and/or record player(!), so we all shared. Through friends, I was introduced to classical music.

When I moved to Chicago, friends had season tickets to the CSO and I joined them sitting in the Terrace. From there we watched the conductors as they used small facial changes to intimately direct the musicians. It was like sitting in the middle of the musicians—such a thrill!

I am so proud to live in Chicago and to enjoy wonderful CSO concerts. The CSO brings me such joy and it was important for me through my estate plans to support this jewel and help ensure future generations of musicians will be able to give the gift of wonderful music to listeners.

2019 Patrons Tour to Japan

On January 19, 2019, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra embarked on an eleven-concert tour of Asia with stops in Taipei, Shanghai, Beijing, Tokyo, and Osaka. The tour repertoire showcased works by Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, and Verdi. A group of twenty-one CSOA trustees and donors joined the CSO in Japan for the official patrons tour lead by tour chairs Leslie and John Burns and Shelley Ochab and Chet Gougis.

In Tokyo, the patrons participated in cultural activities, including a private lesson in noh—classical Japanese musical drama—and a wadaiko drumming class with CSO assistant principal timpani Vadim Karpinos, principal bassoon Keith Buncke, and principal second violin Baird Dodge; visited several art and history museums as well as Japanese temples and Mount Fuji; enjoyed walking tours showcasing Tokyo’s architecture; received a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to operate a CSO tour; shared several delicious meals with CSO musicians; and enjoyed CSO performances in the beautiful Bunka Kaikan concert hall. The patrons later traveled on to the island of Hokaido for the annual Snow Festival in its capital, Sapporo.

This is the music Brahms wrote to make up for his bad manners. In 1879, when he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Breslau, Brahms mailed a postcard expressing his thanks. Bernhard Scholz, the recipient and also a friend, pointed out that, in all fairness, the univer-sity expected a “doctoral symphony [or] at the very least a solemn ode.” More than a

year later (punctuality also was not one of his strengths), Brahms wrote this far from solemn overture as an expression of thanks to Breslau.

It is not clear where Brahms, who never attended a university, got the idea of honoring academic life with a medley of drink-ing songs. He was probably thinking of two months in 1853, when he visited his friend, the great violinist Joseph Joachim, at the university in Göttingen, and enjoyed student life without cracking a book. Brahms described the overture as a potpourri of student songs in the style of Franz von Suppé, the popular composer of operettas (his Light Cavalry Overture is still a reg-ular item on pops concerts). The Academic Festival Overture is particularly breezy and unbuttoned for Brahms, and he makes use of the largest orchestra he would ever employ, including three trumpets—for the only time in his career—as well as cymbals, triangle, and bass drum. Brahms worried that his title sounded too dry—Scholz agreed that it was “damned academic and boring”—but he thought Scholz’s suggestion, the Viadrina Overture, even worse. (Besides, no one knew what it meant. It is the ancient name for the river that flows through Breslau.)

B rahms derives most of his thematic material from four popular German songs, including one about building stately mansions (played like a great chorale); a hymn

to the fatherland; the traditional freshman initiation song (it is begun, in a moment of wonderful silliness, by two bassoons); and the often-quoted thirteenth-century tune “Gaudeamus igitur.” “Let us live then,” its text reads, “and be glad while youth is still before us.” Brahms sets it boisterously, without a touch of the nostalgia that often comes with middle age. aboveJohannes Brahms, portrait by Fritz Luckhardt (1843–1894), 1882

Unlike many composers who wrote famous violin concertos, Sibelius himself was a violinist. The violin was his first instrument, and his earliest composition was a little piece for violin and cello called Water Drops, which he wrote when he was ten years old. After he began serious violin study at the age of fourteen, he was hooked: “The violin took me by storm, and

for the next ten years it was my dearest wish, my overriding ambition, to become a great virtuoso.” When he moved to Vienna in 1890 to study composition, Sibelius played in the conservatory orchestra and ultimately couldn’t resist auditioning for the philharmonic. He broke down and wept when he got back to his room, then went to the piano and began practicing scales. Even as late as 1915, long after he had put the violin aside and was a highly regarded composer, he wrote in his diary: “Dreamt I was twelve years old and a virtuoso.”

Sibelius was a natural to write violin concertos, but in the end he wrote only one, and he spent enormous time and energy on it before he was satisfied. No doubt it was, in some deep sense, his own concerto, even though he would never attempt to play it. Perhaps this explains not only the great pains he took in writing the piece, but also the way he treated the man who had asked him for it. Willy Burmester had known Sibelius briefly in Finland before his career as a violin virtuoso took off. It was Burmester who persuaded Sibelius to write the concerto in the first place; the piece was tailor-made for him, and he assumed he would give the premiere. Sibelius began the score in 1902 and finished a completed draft in the autumn of 1903. He sent the work to Burmester, who responded: “Wonderful! Masterly! Only once before have I spoken in such terms to a composer, and that was when Tchaikovsky showed me his concerto.”

But when Burmester suggested that he needed time to master the work, Sibelius hired Viktor Nováček, a musician of no partic-ular distinction who is remembered only for this one day in his life, to give the first performance. After the premiere, Burmester again offered to play the concerto, promising that “all my twenty-five-years’ stage experience, my artistry and insight will be placed to serve this work.” But Sibelius, who had extensively reworked

Karl Halíř (1859–1909), who premiered the revised version of the Violin Concerto in October 1905

the concerto, picked Karl Halíř, a former member of the Joachim Quartet, to give the premiere of the revised version in October 1905, under the baton of Richard Strauss. And when the score was pub-lished, it was dedicated to Ferenc von Vecsey, a Hungarian violin-ist who was one of the concerto’s first champions.

T he work Burmester inspired but never played is a violin-ist’s dream. In fact, the first

version was particularly criticized for the way the solo part consis-tently overshadowed the orchestra, and much of Sibelius’s subsequent reworking tried to restore that balance. Still, from the very first measures, it is the solo voice, rather than its dialogue with orchestra, that commands our attention. In September 1902, Sibelius had written to his wife about “a marvelous opening idea” for the concerto. What he ultimately put on paper is truly unforgettable, with the violin entering almost at once on a sustained mezzo-forte G quite at odds

with the orchestra’s shimmering D minor. From there, the violin takes off on a long, rhapsodic theme; allows the orchestra one extended statement of its own; and then banishes it entirely from the central development section, which Sibelius, against all tradition, treats as a brilliant cadenza. This is but one masterstroke in a bold and inventive design.

Though less imaginatively conceived, the Adagio is deeply haunting: a broad melody begins low in the violin register and then takes off. (It is particularly lovely how Sibelius later accompanies that melody, now in the clarinet and bassoon, with pianissimo scales.) Musicologist Donald Tovey called the spirited finale “a polonaise for polar bears.” The folksy main theme, over an excited drumbeat, comes from a very early string quartet that Sibelius did not publish. The way the violin dances

around the melody, however, teasing its insistent rhythms and recklessly walking the high wire, turns circus music into high art.

It is astonishing that Rachmaninov ever wrote a second symphony. He was so shattered by the disastrous, ill-received premiere of his first symphony in 1897—“the most agonizing hour of my life,” as he later put it—that, for the next three years, he suffered from chronic depression, and struggled day after day with a composer’s worst fear—the inability to write a page of

music worth saving. Sketches for a new symphony were aban-doned, and work on an opera, Francesca da Rimini, was shelved. Rachmaninov visited Leo Tolstoy, hoping that contact with the great, larger-than-life novelist would stimulate his creativity, but their conversations discouraged him even more.

Finally, at his friends’ insistence, in 1900 he went to see Dr. Nikolai Dahl, a psychiatrist noted for treating alcoholism through hypnosis. (Dahl also was an amateur violinist and a great music lover.) After four months of Dahl’s hypnosis—“You will work with great facility” was one of the doctor’s often- repeated leitmotifs—Rachmaninov suddenly recovered. He not only began to compose again—and with great facility—but he also soon finished the score that became his most popular work—the Second Piano Concerto, which he dedicated to Dahl. Rachmaninov played the piano solo at the triumphant premiere of the concerto in 1901, proving to the public that he had left his difficulties behind with the old century.

The writer’s block had been overcome, but if the piano con-certo marked the turning point, it was his second symphony that proved his ultimate victory, as well as his vindication.

After the success of the concerto, Rachmaninov returned to composition on a regular basis (although he still made time for concert appearances both as pianist and as conductor—a new role he had taken up during his creative crisis). He now wrote steadily—piano pieces, songs, a cello sonata, and two operas, including the shelved Francesca da Rimini. By the fall of 1906, Rachmaninov was such a celebrity in his native land that, in order to escape the public eye, he moved, with his wife and infant daughter, to Dresden, chosen with no more reason than the memory of a fine performance of Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg he had attended there. (He also liked being near Leipzig, the

home of his favorite conductor, Arthur Nikisch, and the celebrated Gewandhaus Orchestra.)

In Dresden, where he once again became a full-time composer, Rachmaninov at last began to sketch a new symphony, with sudden diffi-culty and in total secrecy—obviously he had not ban-ished the painful memories of his first. Finally, in February 1907, when word of his newest project leaked out in the German press, he confessed to a friend, “I have composed a symphony. It’s true! . . . I finished it a month ago and immediately put it aside. It was a severe worry to me and I am not going to think about it any more.” But by the summer he was back at work, polishing the symphony for its public unveiling. Rachmaninov conducted the work at the Saint Petersburg premiere in January 1908, with great, reassuring success. The symphony won the Glinka Prize of 1,000 rubles that year and quickly made the rounds of the major orchestras of the world (It was performed in Chicago for the first time in 1911).

But Rachmaninov’s vindication was a qualified one, for wherever the symphony was performed, except under the composer’s own baton, it was so extensively cut that this almost hour-long sym-phony was sometimes reduced to a mere forty-five minutes. Few other major works of orchestral music, including Bruckner’s most misunderstood symphonies, were regularly presented to the public in such a savagely butchered state. These traditional cuts (the New York Philharmonic has kept a list of twenty-nine cuts supposedly approved by the composer) range from tiny,

but still disfiguring snips—a measure or two of introductory accompaniment, for example—to major surgery, such as the removal of the main theme from the recapitulation of the Adagio. The true stature of Rachmaninov’s Second Symphony

was largely unsus-pected. Ironically, a score that was routinely cut because its mate-rial was considered too insubstantial to sustain its length ended up sounding even more incon-sequential, with its balance skewed and its forward sweep blunted. Only in recent years, when

conductors have begun to play the piece in its entirety, has Rachmaninov’s true achievement as a composer been revealed.

Throughout Rachmaninov’s life, it was fashionable—if not in fact honorable in pro-gressive music circles—to disparage his music. Rachmaninov had always worried that by splitting his time between playing the piano, conducting, and composing, he had spread himself too thin. “I have chased three hares,” he once said. “Can I be certain that I have captured one?” For many years, Rachmaninov’s stature as a pianist was undis-puted. (He regularly performed with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, beginning in 1909, when he played his Second Piano Concerto here during his first American tour; he appeared with the Orchestra for the last time in 1943, just six weeks before his death, as the soloist in Beethoven’s First Piano Concerto and his own Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini.)

But by the time of his death in 1943, he had been written off as an old-fashioned composer—hopelessly sentimental, out-of-touch, and irrelevant. As Virgil Thomson told the young

comments

playwright Edward Albee in 1948, “It is really extraordinary, after all, that a composer so famous should have enjoyed so little the esteem of his fellow composers.” (Rachmaninov’s great Russian contemporary, Igor Stravinsky, for example, never could stomach the music or the man, even when they were neighbors in Los Angeles. “A six-foot scowl,” was his summation of his famously grim-faced colleague.) The sacrosanct Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, in its fifth edition, concluded its dismal appraisal of his output: “The enormous popular success some few of Rachmaninov’s works had in his lifetime is not likely to last and musicians never regarded it with much favor.” But in the past few years, his star has been on the rise. Now, as Rachmaninov always hoped, it is his music and not his piano playing that keeps his name alive.

E ven Rachmaninov eventually admitted that his first symphony was in fact a “weak, childish, strained, and bombastic” work—

words no more sympathetic than those of César Cui’s devastating opening-night review. (Cui suggested that Rachmaninov’s music sprang straight from a conservatory in hell.) The new symphony proves how seriously Rachmaninov took the challenges of the form the second time around. The first movement is quite long, but it only demonstrates Rachmaninov’s command of extended paragraphs and his mastery of carefully controlled suspense. As a conscious effort to unify the entire work, Rachmaninov begins quietly and slowly, with a low string “motto” theme that reappears, already disguised, as early as the main

violin melody that takes over once the tempo picks up.

The second movement is a very lively, brilliantly orchestrated scherzo that unexpectedly makes way for a broad, lyrical melody of characteristic lushness. The trio midsection begins with a fugue launched by the second violins. After the return of the scherzo, Rachmaninov introduces the same Dies irae chant melody that he also cites in his Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and The Isle of the Dead.

The Adagio opens with a lovely, sighing violin gesture—it would sustain an entire movement for many a romantic composer—that Rachmaninov quickly pushes aside for a generous, long-breathed clarinet melody. (It unfolds slowly, circling, but never repeating itself, for some twenty-two measures.) At the end, the clarinet and violins exchange roles.

The finale begins with festive, dancing music; continues with a big theme destined to return, triumphantly, at the end; and even stops, for just six measures, to reconsider the melody from the slow movement. The development section crests with an astonishing passage of descending scales, cascading at different speeds and from different heights, like the clangorous pealing of bells. And the big melody, one of Rachmaninov’s finest, does not disappoint, but returns, in octaves, to sweep in the final cadences.

Her outstanding success as music director of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra (BSO) since 2007 has been recognized by two extensions in her tenure, now confirmed until 2021. As part of her artistic leadership, Marin Alsop has

led the orchestra on its first European tour to the BBC Proms and Edinburgh International Festival and created several bold initiatives. In 2012, Alsop became principal conductor and music director of the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra (OSESP), which she conducts on the international stage. This included a tour to Asia in February 2019 and three European tours featuring critically acclaimed performances at such major summer festivals as Lucerne and in Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris, Salzburg, and Vienna; her contract continues to the end of 2019, when she becomes conductor of honor. In September 2019, Alsop becomes chief conductor of the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra.

Marin Alsop conducts the world’s major orches-tras, with recent and forthcoming European highlights including the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam, Filarmonica della Scala in Milan, Danish National Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre de Paris, the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO), and London Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO). In the United States, she

regularly conducts the Philadelphia, Cleveland, and Chicago symphony orchestras, as well as at their summer residencies at Saratoga, Blossom, and Ravinia. Further highlights of the 2018–19 season include the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, Spanish National Orchestra, and the Orchestre National de France, following summer festival debuts at the Grafenegg and MITO (Milano–Torino SettembreMusica) with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and a second residency with the Britten–Pears Orchestra at the Snape Proms.

As one of Leonard Bernstein’s best-known pupils, Alsop is central to his hundredth- anniversary global celebrations: she opened the LSO’s tribute and conducted performances of Bernstein’s Mass at the Ravinia Festival as its musical curator and at Southbank Centre, where she is artist-in-residence. Also at Southbank Centre, she leads Brahms’s German Requiem with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, which she conducts most seasons. In 2013, Marin Alsop made history as the first female conductor of the BBC’s Last Night of the Proms, to which she returned in 2015.

Her extensive discography has led to multiple Gramophone awards and includes highly praised Naxos cycles of works by Brahms with the LPO and MDR Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra, Dvořák with the BSO, Prokofiev with OSESP, and further recordings for Decca Classics, Harmonia Mundi, and Sony Classical. She is dedicated to new music, as demonstrated in her twenty-five-year tenure as music director of the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music in California.

Among her many awards and academic posi-tions, Marin Alsop is the only conductor to receive the prestigious MacArthur Fellowship, an hon-orary member of the Royal Academy of Music and Royal Philharmonic Society, and recently was appointed director of graduate conducting at the Johns Hopkins Peabody Institute. She attended the Juilliard School and Yale University, which awarded her an honorary doctorate in 2017. Her conducting career was launched in 1989, when she was the first woman to receive the Koussevitzky Conducting Prize from the Tanglewood Music Center.

Hilary Hahn Violin

first cso performancesMarch 29, 30, 31, and April 3, 2007, Orchestra Hall. Goldmark’s Violin Concerto, Charles Dutoit conducting

Three-time Grammy Award–winning violinist Hilary Hahn is renowned for her clear and brilliant musicality, expansive interpretations of an incredibly varied repertoire, and organic connections with her audience. Her

creative approach to music making and her commitment to sharing her experiences with a global community have made her a fan favorite. She recently created the Instagram project #100DaysOfPractice, for which she posted videos of herself practicing for a hundred days consecu-tively, openly sharing her behind-the-scenes work with her fans to break down perceived barriers around the creative process.

Hahn devotes much of the 2018–19 season to a thread that has bound together her entire musi-cal career. In October, she released Bach’s Partita no. 1 and sonatas nos. 1 and 2 for unaccompanied violin, after the two decades of anticipation from fans and critics alike that followed her first album, Hilary Hahn plays Bach, released when she was only seventeen years old. Throughout the fall and spring, she performs solo recitals of music by Bach in Vienna, Paris, New York, Washington (D.C.), San Francisco, Toronto, Tokyo, Seoul, Berlin, London, and Munich. Also this season,

she is artist-in-residence with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, with which she performs music by Sibelius in Austria, Germany, France, and Spain and premieres the final violin concerto of Einojuhani Rautavaara, written for her and completed posthumously by Kalevi Aho.

Bach has been a part of Hahn’s life from the beginning of her musical studies, including with her first teacher, Klara Berkovich. At ten years old, she was admitted to the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia to study with Jascha Brodsky, a former pupil of Eugène Ysaÿe and Efrem Zimbalist, who dedicated part of nearly every lesson to unaccompanied works by Bach. She often incorporates movements of the par-titas and sonatas into her free—and sometimes surprise—concerts for knitting circles, commu-nity dance workshops, yoga groups, art students, and parents with their infants. She developed these mini concerts as part of recent residencies in Vienna, Seattle, Lyon, and Philadelphia, and continues this year at Radio France, encourag-ing music lovers to combine live performance with their interests outside the concert hall and providing opportunities for parents to enjoy live music with their infants.

Hilary Hahn is known for her natural ability to connect with fans, from the art she collects from them and her YouTube interview series (youtube.com/hilaryhahnvideos), to her violin case’s comments on life with a concert violin-ist on Twitter and Instagram (@violincase). Her curiosity extends far beyond music, and she was an early blogger, sending her fans “postcards from the road” on her website, hilaryhahn.com, and publishing articles in mainstream media.

chicago symphony orchestraNow celebrating its 128th season, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently hailed as one of the world’s leading orchestras. In September 2010, renowned Italian conductor Riccardo Muti became its tenth music director. His vision for the Orchestra—to deepen its engagement with the Chicago community, to nurture its legacy while supporting a new generation of musicians, and to collaborate with visionary artists—signals a new era for the institution.

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s distin-guished history began in 1889, when Theodore Thomas, then the leading conductor in America and a recognized music pioneer, was invited by Chicago businessman Charles Norman Fay to establish a symphony orchestra here. Thomas’s aim to establish a permanent orchestra with performance capabilities of the highest quality was realized at the first concerts in October 1891. Thomas served as music director until his death in 1905—just three weeks after the dedication of Orchestra Hall, the Orchestra’s permanent home designed by Daniel Burnham.

Frederick Stock, recruited by Thomas to the viola section in 1895, became assistant conductor in 1899, and succeeded the Orchestra’s founder. His tenure lasted thirty-seven years, from 1905 to 1942—the longest of the Orchestra’s music direc-tors. Dynamic and innovative, the Stock years saw the founding of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, the first training orchestra in the United States affiliated with a major symphony orchestra, in 1919. Stock also established youth auditions, orga-nized the first subscription concerts especially for children, and began a series of popular concerts.

Three distinguished conductors headed the Orchestra during the following decade: Désiré Defauw was music director from 1943 to 1947; Artur Rodzinski assumed the post in 1947–48; and Rafael Kubelík led the ensemble for three seasons from 1950 to 1953. The next ten years belonged to Fritz Reiner, whose recordings with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra are still considered per-formance hallmarks. It was Reiner who invited Margaret Hillis to form the Chicago Symphony Chorus in 1957. For the five seasons from 1963 to 1968, Jean Martinon held the position of music director.

Sir Georg Solti, the Orchestra’s eighth music director, served from 1969 until 1991. He then held the title of music director laureate and

returned to conduct the Orchestra for several weeks each season until his death in September 1997. Solti’s arrival launched one of the most successful musical partnerships of our time, and the CSO made its first overseas tour to Europe in 1971 under his direction, along with numerous award-winning recordings.

Daniel Barenboim was named music director designate in January 1989, and he became the Orchestra’s ninth music director in September 1991, a position he held until June 2006. His tenure was distinguished by the opening of Symphony Center in 1997, highly praised oper-atic productions at Orchestra Hall, numerous appearances with the Orchestra in the dual role of pianist and conductor, twenty-one international tours, and the appointment of Duain Wolfe as the Chorus’s second director.

From 2006 to 2010, Bernard Haitink held the post of principal conductor, the first in CSO his-tory. Pierre Boulez’s long-standing relationship with the CSO led to his appointment as principal guest conductor in 1995. He was named Helen Regenstein Conductor Emeritus in 2006, a posi-tion he held until his death in January 2016. Only two others have served as principal guest conduc-tors: Carlo Maria Giulini, who began to appear in Chicago regularly in the late 1950s, was named to the post in 1969, serving until 1972; Claudio Abbado held the position from 1982 to 1985.

In January 2010, Yo-Yo Ma was appointed the CSO’s Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant by Riccardo Muti. In this role, he part-ners with Muti, staff, and musicians to provide program development for the Negaunee Music Institute at the CSO.

Mead Composer-in-Residence Missy Mazzoli was appointed by Riccardo Muti and began her two-year term in the fall of 2018. In addition to composing, she curates the contemporary MusicNOW series.

Since 1916, recording has been a signifi-cant part of the Orchestra’s activities. Current releases on CSO Resound, the Orchestra’s inde-pendent recording label, include the Grammy Award–winning release of Verdi’s Requiem led by Riccardo Muti. Recordings by the CSO have earned sixty-two Grammy awards from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.

The JCS Arts, Health and Education Fund of the DuPage FoundationThe Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association (CSOA) is deeply grateful to the JCS Arts, Health and Education Fund of the DuPage Foundation for its generous support of activities in DuPage County that engage thousands of students, families, and audience members. Since the 2012–13 season, the leadership support provided by the JCS Fund of the DuPage Foundation has allowed the CSOA to develop and present meaningful concerts and programming in DuPage County and Chicago’s western suburbs.

Throughout the 2018–19 season, CSOA programming in DuPage County maintains and deepens the Orchestra’s connections with audiences. Education and community engagement programs offered throughout the year—at schools and community venues across the region—complement three full-orchestra concerts at Wheaton College. These concerts have established the CSOA’s long-term, residency-style partnership with Wheaton College and the DuPage community in forthcoming seasons.

The JCS Fund of the DuPage Foundation supports music, cultural, health, educational, artistic, and other charitable organizations serving DuPage residents. For more information about the JCS Fund and its host, the DuPage Foundation, please visit dupagefoundation.org/grants/jcs-fund.html.
