Greetings from the Musicians, Board and Staff of the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra

Welcome to the 84th season of performances by the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra, under the guidance of our Music Director and Conductor, Arie Lipsky.

Ann Arbor has a rich collection of academic, cultural, and sports institutions, and the Ann Arbor Symphony has a well-deserved place in its pantheon. In addition to our mainstage concerts, the A2SO reaches a broad swath of our community through Kinder Concerts, Petting

Zoos, Youth Concerts, school visits and at our Chamber Music series.

Our great State and University were well represented at the recently concluded London Olympics in events such as swimming, gymnastics, and boxing. We take great pride in those among us who show well on the world’s athletic stages. Let us not fail to recognize superb performances on our concert stages as well! The A2SO’s tradition of musical excellence is sustained by ticket purchases by our patrons, and by generous support from our individual and institutional sponsors. Without your financial support, these mainstage concerts would not be possible.

Thanks for helping to bring our music to life!!

Sincerely,

William J. MaxbauerPresident

Your Ann Arbor Symphony OrchestraFrom its inception as a shared dream among a group of music-loving friends to its establishment as a premier regional orchestra, under the leadership of 13 conductors over the course of nearly 85 years, the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra remains passionately committed to enriching Michigan’s culture through musical performance and dedicated connection to the community.

The A2SO (then the “Ann Arbor Community Orchestra,” and later the “Ann Arbor Civic Orchestra”) offered its first major program in November 1931, after being founded in 1928. By 1935 the orchestra was organized under the general administration of Ann Arbor’s Parks and Recreation Department. In 1941, distinguished music educator Joseph Maddy, who had founded what would later become the Interlochen Center for the Arts, became the fourth conductor of our Symphony, which was still made up of amateur players. By 1986, the A2SO had become a fully professional orchestra under conductor Carl St.Clair. In 2000, Arie Lipsky was chosen as the organization’s new Music Director, and the Symphony has grown in its artistic quality ever since. This year, by unanimous agreement of board, musicians and community, Mr. Lipsky was offered, and he accepted, a five-year renewal in his leadership of this Symphony.

A2SO concerts frequently feature world-class guest soloists, including Anton Nel, Roman Rabinovich, Amit Peled, and even American Idol star David Archuleta. But the Symphony is most privileged to be part of a community that is already enriched with musical talent; local virtuosi such as violinist Yehonatan Berick, A2SO Principal trumpet William Campbell, vocalists Melody Racine and Stephen West, flutist Amy Porter, cellist Anthony Elliott, and many more who join the A2SO on stage regularly.

In 2009, the A2SO released its first CD, featuring the music of contemporary composer Paul Fetler, as part of Naxos’s “American Classics” series. The CD consists of live performances of Fetler’s Violin Concerto No. 2, with concertmaster Aaron Berofsky as soloist, Capriccio for orchestra, and Three Poems of Walt Whitman, narrated by Thomas Blaske. AnnArbor.com described the recording as “startlingly wonderful” and praises Fetler’s “evocative lyricism…in music that is itself protean in color, style, and mood.”

We are especially proud of our commitment to new works and commissioning area composers. In September 2010, the A2SO gave the Michigan premiere of Ann Arbor composer Michael Daugherty’s emotional tour de force Trail of Tears, featuring Amy Porter.

Whether on the CD, in the concert hall or the classroom, the A2SO attracts, inspires and educates the most diverse audience possible; fosters a growing appreciation for excellent music and regional talent; and provides imaginative programming through community involvement. Join us this season as we help you experience the Joy of Music in the Key of A2

Arie Lipsky“My goal as a conductor is to be a musician who puts the music first, and to make sure what the composers wrote is delivered to the audience.”

Born in Israel where he received extensive training as a cellist and as a flutist, Arie Lipsky was just nine when he won the first of many prestigious musical competitions allowing him to solo with his town’s orchestra. After this impressive success, he began to appear in concerts throughout Israel and Europe. Lipsky subsequently began serious study of composition and conducting. His mentors include Semyon Bychkov, Yoel Levi and Kurt Mazur in conducting and Pablo Casals and Leonard Rose on cello. He holds degrees in Aeronautical Engineering and Music which he received before serving in the Israeli Army.

After moving to the United States, Lipsky served as Assistant Conductor of the Cleveland Institute of Music and the Ohio Opera. He moved to Buffalo in 1984 to become the Buffalo Philharmonic’s principal cellist and in 1990, he became the Resident Conductor. In early 1995, on short notice, Lipsky replaced the late Eduardo Mata conducting the Israel Chamber Orchestra, where his success resulted in return engagements with many of Israel’s orchestras. Lipsky has also conducted the Arthur Rubinstein Orchestra in Lódź, Poland. Lipsky is the Music Director of the Ashland Symphony (Ohio) and conducts major orchestras in the United States, Canada and Europe.

An elegant and expressive conductor, Lipsky garners high praise from some of the world’s best conductors. Semyon Bychkov, Music Director of L’Orchestre de Paris, calls Lipsky “. . . a born conductor,” and Yoel Levi, former Music Director of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, says that “As a musician Arie is first class; his technique is excellent, his memory outstanding . . . he knows how to communicate and is well deserving of respect and admiration.”

Now celebrating his 13th season with the A2SO, Lipsky continues to grow a tremendous and loyal audience in Southeastern Michigan with concerts for both discerning and casual listeners. As one reviewer said, “under the baton of Music Director Lipsky, the Orchestra played with finesse and polish that experience brings to bear.”

Lipsky and the A2SO were honored during his 10th anniversary season as “Ambassador of the Year” by the Ann Arbor Area Visitor and Convention

-7-

Bureau. Lipsky and the A2SO also released a CD on the Naxos label of three pieces by American composer Paul Fetler.

Education and outreach are key drivers to Mr. Lipsky’s musical vision. Last season he visited over 4,425 youngsters in classrooms and coached orchestral and band classes in a four-county area around Ann Arbor. He and the A2SO will hold the 7th annual side-by-side concert with the Pinckney Public Schools this season.

Mr. Lipsky records on the Fleur de Son Classics label. His CD New Arts Trio in Recital at Chautauqua was reviewed by Fanfare Magazine: “I’ll affirm that this is one of the most interesting and exciting discs of piano trios, or any chamber music, or any classical music I have ever heard.” In 2010, he released a CD of piano trios by Dvořák, Idoru, Piazzolla and Milch-Sheriff. Other recordings include Schubert Overtures, Concertos by Sierra and Bruch, and Guitar Concerti with the Israel Chamber Orchestra. Arie is a member of the New Arts Trio in residence at the Chautauqua Institute, where he serves as Director of Chamber Music.

Arie enjoys an active family life with his wife Rachel and two children Gilad and Inbal.

Arie’s Musings With my deepest appreciation of the Grace of Music in mind, I joyfully welcome you to each concert in our season of making music with and for you, as together we celebrate the Joy of Music in the Key of A2

®.

“Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,That saved a wretch like me.I once was lost but now am found,Was blind, but now I see.

Through many dangers, toils and snaresI have already come;’Tis Grace that brought me safe thus farand Grace will lead me home.”

If you substitute the word “Music” for “Grace” in the treasured verses I quote, you have so very much of my personal and family story. This past May, I was honored to be the keynote commencement speaker at Ashland University. This wonderful, hopeful universal hymn, Amazing Grace, was the foundation and theme of my address, which ended with me playing flute while the football stadium full of almost-graduates and their proud parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers, professors and friends sang out the joyful appreciation of Amazing Grace. It was an unforgettable moment to see and hear everyone united in liberty and gathered under May’s shining sun, singing, hoping and joyously dreaming together. “’Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far...”

For me the Grace of Music is and always has been joyful. When I planned the current A2SO season, Joy was my theme – from the obvious Ode in Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, to my personal joy in working with Roman Rabinovich, an ascendant young artist whom I have watched from his early days grow into a mature, world-class musician. From a personally felt awakening to the Grace of that other Bo (not Schembechler), a most definite “10,” on through Holiday Joy to Mozart – the composer culmination of joyful music – to the joy of conducting a new piece for me with old friends and colleagues in our own A2SO, and finally reaching our season’s triumphant Mahler Symphony No. 6, a piece I performed in my first Carnegie Hall appearance.

So as I write these words I know we shall share seven joyous occasions together as we traverse this very special season. Sometime, please take

-9-

a moment to share with me your personal story of Joy in Music. Mine will be echoing throughout our community this year. I wish you all Grace and Music and Joy.

See you at the Symphony,

What Makes Music So Memorable?Still awash with her beloved Ode to Joy swirling in treasured memory of our September concert, a dear friend asked, “What happens to make this music so powerful? So memorable?”

One of my favorite memories of the Vivaldi and Rodrigo guitar pieces – the same ones which are part of our November concert – is hearing them played each time I visited dear friends Jan and Dan Longone. And although I know that the Longones played other music as well, these pieces became the audio signature always evoking these friends. “What,” I ask, “happens to make this music so powerful? So memorable?”

When I was little, my Dad would stack LPs high on the record player spindle while he made yet another stack – of Sunday morning pancakes. Among my personal favorites was Mozart’s Haffner Symphony with its cardboard cover depicting a gaudy, prancing merry-go-round steed. (For the longest time I thought Mozart had written that symphony in honor of his favorite horse named “Haffner!”) Hearing this elegant symphony, you too will ask, “What happens to make this music so powerful? So memorable?”

One possible answer is offered up by a friend who played in the U-M Homecoming Alumni Band with my husband Tom: “During halftime, when we played the old standards and the greats, I had a moment when the band, the sound, the feeling, the GREATNESS of it all, began to overwhelm me. How meaningful this moment was. What other experiences in your life had the power and the oneness? Where else in your life did you have that total joy of being alive, and having the opportunity to share it with so many others? Those memories live in me because those days meant so much, and they were created and compounded by the association with each of you. So much of life goes by in a blur, with the similarity of the days and experiences. The clarity comes with the importance and the greatness of shared moments.”

Power and oneness. Shared experience. Being filled with joy. Reward of memories. Being part of something very special. Important moments which live because they are parts of events which mean so very much. Thanks, Carolyn, for answering my questions.

Don Juan, Op. 20 Richard StraussBorn June 11, 1864; Munich, GermanyDied September 8, 1949; Garmisch-Partenkirchen

Don Juan was the earliest of Strauss’ great orchestral tone poems, scored in 1888 when the composer was just 24 years of age. The Spanish legend on which it is based has a long chronology in literature and the arts in general, with a lot of attention from serious composers, including even a celebrated opus from Mozart – his inimitable opera Don Giovanni.

With regard to its origins, the lure and lore of the Don Juan fantasy began in 1630 with a stage drama titled The Mocker of Seville and the Statue by the Spanish monk Gabriel Tellez (Tirso de Molina, c.1571-1648). Since that debut the legend has inspired many extrapolations. The Don is sometimes portrayed as nothing more than a playboy, a libertine with a simple goal – to seduce every woman in sight. Other versions place him in a role mostly foolish, more like a silly romancer than a crafty paramour, as in the case of the Don Juan by Nikolaus Lenau (1802-1850), the Austrian poet whose work provided the character model for Strauss.

The Lenau variation is a tale of Don Juan’s relentless search for the perfect woman – one who is at once spiritually and sensually ideal. But the frenzy of the quest obscures and eclipses the dream. After a lifetime of manic pursuit the Don becomes disillusioned, dispassionate and tired of the world, its women – and ultimately – himself. Near the close he welcomes the challenge of a duel with Don Pedro who swears to redeem the honor of his sister, who, of course, had fallen to the wiles of our amorous conquistador. In self-retribution, Don Juan allows himself to be killed.

Strauss’ music, though youthfully conceived, reveals a composer already at home in his métier of grandiloquent orchestration. The motifs – macho and brash and tender all at once – are splendidly cast over harmonies which convey the quixotic, double pursuit of soul and sensuality. Without following a literal course, Strauss tone-paints a series of episodes in the life of Don Juan by representing the spirit of the chase in florid

-15-

tonalities. In sum, the work is a symphonic tour de force, in turns brazen or tender, replete with noble melodies and emotive harmonies.

The score also contains some of the dreamiest moments in music via enamored solos in the violin and oboe. Stand by as well for the principal theme heard several times strutting through the lusty choir of horns. But just as we might sense a developing apotheosis, the skies darken with ominous tones – the knell and toll of the avenging stroke of Don Pedro. Alas, the curtain closes on the sad career of Don Juan.

Events of 1888 (Don Juan composed)- Detroit milkmen meet to try to raise price of milk to 7 cents per quart- Washington Monument completed in Washington, D.C.- Alternating current motor invented by Tesla- First pneumatic bicycle tire invented in Ireland- First adding machine patented by Burroughs- First commercial aluminum produced- Pasteur Institute founded in Paris- National Geographic Magazine begins publishing- Kodak camera introduced by George Eastman- Sunflowers painted by van Gogh- The Thinker sculpted by Auguste Rodin

Concerto for Guitar and Orchestra in D major, RV. 93 Antonio Vivaldi Born March 4, 1678; Venice, ItalyDied July 28, 1741; Vienna, Austria

Antonio Vivaldi produced a catalog of more than 850 works, including at least 475 concertos, 94 operas, and an assortment of other pieces, both secular and sacred. With regard to his life and times, complete biographies reveal a worldly individual with enough color and zest for a Hollywood film.

Antonio became an ordained priest in 1703 (a means to the best education in Italy), and by 1709 he was assigned to teach music at the Ospedale della Pietà in Venice, a school for abandoned or orphaned girls. It was there that he picked up his famous name tag – il prete rosso (“the red priest”) – because of his flaming red hair and ecclesiastical office. To be sure, his celebrated flamboyance also had something to do with the

-16-

nickname. But della Pietà was a first-class institute, with many gifted students. Under Vivaldi’s direction both the school orchestra and choir flourished and became known around Europe for their regular Sunday concerts. None other than Jean Jacques Rousseau noted in his famous Confessions:

“Music of a kind that is very superior in my opinion and that has no equal throughout Italy or perhaps the world is that of the schools for girls in Venice. Every Sunday at church during Vespers, music which is composed and directed by the greatest masters in Italy is performed in the side galleries solely by girls, of whom the eldest is not even 20 years of age. Nothing is more voluptuous nor more moving than this music.”

It was for these performances that Vivaldi produced the greatest body of his work, including the Four Seasons and specialty concertos like the current work. Concerto in D major, RV. 93 is believed to date from about 1740, originally scored for lute, mandolin or guitar. Today the work is by far best known as a staple of the classical guitar repertoire.

In the familiar three-movement form, the concerto features outer movements in D major, each with momentary modulations to A major. Marked Allegro giusto (moderately fast), the first movement is a blithe showcase for the soloist, with delightful interplay between the guitar and orchestral strings.

Like the first movement, the centerpiece Largo is in common time, also in D major. At a point midway, a cryptic blend into B minor offers phrases worthy of an Italian arioso from the era. The closing Allegro is metered in buoyant 12/8 time, lithe and elegant at every turn, with dance-like accents and melodic color in the solo line. Just one regret – the concerto is over too soon.

Events of 1740 (Concerto in D Major composed)- Detroit records 156 baptisms, 27 marriages and 73 deaths.- Crucible steel rediscovered in England- First tin houseware made in Connecticut- Mail routes established from New Hampshire to South Carolina- Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded written by Samuel Richardson- Marivaux writes The Test for the Theatre Italien in Paris- War of Austrian succession begins

Huapango José Pablo MoncayoBorn June 29, 1912; Guadalajara, MexicoDied June 15, 1958; Mexico City Born 100 years ago, José Pablo Moncayo served as artistic director of the Mexico Symphony Orchestra and music director of the National Symphony Orchestra. As an early protégé of Carlos Chávez at the Mexico City Conservatory, Moncayo soon established his reputation as a leading exponent of serious Mexican music. His major work is the opera La mulata de Cordoba, based on a Mexican folk legend about a mystical enchantress.

Although Moncayo scored few works for full orchestra, Huapango became very popular after its premiere in 1941. The work is based on a dance form by the same name, indigenous to the region around the port city of Alvarado. In Huapango the composer combines three traditional tunes into a mini showpiece. The work sparkles with snappy rhythms, seductive melodies and a very flashy orchestration that begins and ends in punchy C major with colorful mariachi digressions in F and D major along the way. Great fun.

Fantasia para un Gentilhombre (Fantasia for a Gentleman)for Guitar and Orchestra Joaquín Rodrigo Born November 22, 1901; Sagunto, SpainDied July 6, 1999; Madrid

Joaquín Rodrigo received copious awards and appointments during his long and distinguished career. The Manuel de Falla Chair was created for him at Madrid University in 1947, and he was honored by Spain with the Cross of Alfonso X the Wise in 1953. In France he was celebrated as an Officier des Arts et des Lettres in 1960, and in 1963 received the Cross of the Légion d’honneur.

Blind from the age of three, Rodrigo began his musical education very early with lessons on the piano. He went on to pursue advanced training in Paris at the Sorbonne and at the Paris Conservatoire, where he was a pupil of Paul Dukas. In addition to nearly 60 songs, dozens of chamber

-18-

works, two ballets and several settings of incidental music, Rodrigo composed 29 pieces for orchestra, including his well-known Concierto de Aranjuez for guitar.

Fantasia for a Gentleman was composed in 1954 with a dedication to Andrés Segovia, the Spanish master of the classical guitar. Written in the manner of a French homage (sometimes known as a tombeau), the piece is crafted upon original themes by the 17th-century Spanish guitarist and composer Gaspar Sanz. For his part, Sanz was also an ordained priest, author and educator, who wrote Instrucción de música sobre la guitarra española, the finest treatise on the guitar from the late Renaissance. In three volumes, the work includes 90 pieces for study and performance, virtually all based on various dance forms popular at the time. For each movement of the Fantasia, Rodrigo develops a theme borrowed from Sanz, blending the dulcet tones of the guitar with a delicate orchestration.

Titled Villano y Ricercare (see below), the first movement is in two parts, beginning with amber strings and high woodwinds as escort for the lyrical solo lines. Like a Renaissance tryptich, the second movement presents an Españoleta in the outer frames, with a tender tune in triple meter marked Adagio, escorted by poetic strings and woodwinds. For the central panel, Rodrigo conjures a spirited memoir, Fanfare de la Caballeria de Nápoles, with galloping strides, trumpets and fifes, after which the lovely Españoleta is reprised.

With Allegro con brio as a style cue, the third movement Danza de la Hachas represents common joy at harvest. Strutting strings and up-beat bugles cavort in celebration, with the guitar as master of ceremonies. In turn, a guitar flourish introduces the last movement Canario, with Allegro ma non troppo on cue. Mixed 3-to-2 accents offer alluring Andalusian rhythms under a scintillating orchestration. Olé..!!!

For reference:Villano: a 16th century, slow village dance with wordsRicercare: a light theme with variations, precurser to the fugueEspañoleta: a moderate Italian dance with Spanish nuanceCaballeria de Nápoles: Spanish cavalry in NaplesDanza de la Hachas: a harvest dance with hatchet rhythmsCanario: an up-beat dance with mixed accents from the Canary Islands

Boléro Maurice Ravel Born March 7, 1875; Ciboure, FranceDied December 28, 1937; Paris Through all of classical music, dance forms are found all over the map: minuet, gavotte, pavane, tarantella, gigue, Ländler, galop, polka, etc. And within this genre of measured steps and pirouettes, the waltz reigns supreme, a wealth to which French composer Maurice Ravel added his intoxicating score La Valse in 1920. However, at times a particular form becomes identified with a certain composer, e.g., the mazurkas of Chopin, the bourées of Bach, the Slavonic dances of Dvorak, etc. In the 20th century the best example of this phenomenon concerns the enormous popularity of a relative late-comer to the dance floor – the boléro – a word synonomous with yet another stunning issue from the pen of Ravel.

Most scholars agree that the boléro was invented in Spain by the celebrated Andalusian dancer Sebastian Cerezo around 1780. In its most prevalent form a boléro is performed by a couple who alternate between solo and paired movements. The choreograph of arching one arm over the head and crossing the other in front of the chest is called the “bien parado.” The gestures include complicated steps like the “cuarta” (leaping and crossing the feet) and the “battement” (one leg strikes another with rhythmic emphasis). The dancers most often accompany themselves with castanets while singing a wordless melody, often to a background of castanets and guitars.

Ravel’s now famous Boléro was commissioned by Ida Rubinstein for a dance gala at the Paris Opera in 1928. The piece was composed during the madcap interval after World War I known as the Roaring 20s, or more specifically in France les années folles (the crazy years). To the point, on the night of the premiere Ravel’s brother told the composer a grande dame had exclaimed “Boléro is madnesss in music” to which Ravel replied, “She understands perfectly.”

But we may be certain Ravel scored Boléro with a very sane and sober pen – the work’s apparent simplicity hides a lot of subtlety. The first sounds reveal a two-measure rhythmic base – an ostinato created by a relentless mix of soft sizzle in the snare drum (castanets) over low

-20-

pizzicato strings (guitar). What follows is perhaps the greatest and most continuous crescendo in all of music.

Just after the brief introduction, two contrasting melodies stand in for dancers: the first, feminine, in perfect, white-key C major; the second, bluesy and macho in a variation that uses all the notes of the chromatic scale except F-sharp (the tritone to C). Each of the tunes is presented in pairs on the solo woodwinds and brass: la señorita represented in the alluring flute, clarinet, English horn and muted trumpet; el caballero in the racy bassoon, piccolo clarinet, saxophones and trombone. As the music progresses we are haunted by a gathering, relentless crescendo, with the melodies now played in various choir combinations throughout the orchestra. The percussion becomes riveting, the pizzicato bass intoxicating. Ravel’s mastery takes command – the themes are overlayed with fifths and thirds, like a great organ console in symphonic masquerade. And all the while we must submit to incessant C major, ever more steadily, ever more loudly; where can this lead? Finally, at the very brink and din of Niagara we escape in a brief E major flare before landing on a final, bedrock, concert C. We have been spared from the precipice but not without mocking tritones in the brass – the missing F-sharps sneer just before the close – the so-called “devil in music” - Diabolique..!

Spotlight On Our Chair SponsorsEach of our annual and endowment chair sponsors has his or her own story to share about their connection to music, the A2SO, and this unique giving program. A2SO Executive Director Mary Steffek Blaske reminisced with Donald Kusterer about Katie, the A2SO’s Education Coordinator from 2000 - 2005, and how Don and Carol Kusterer began the Katie Kusterer Taylor French Horn Chair sponsorship.

MSB: Your daughter Katie is an accomplished singer and pianist. Why did you decide to sponsor a French horn chair?

DK: Katie’s husband played the French horn and so it seemed a perfectly reasonable way to combine her love for the A2SO and its education programs and celebrate their family’s interest in music.

MSB: Now Katie is passing her love of music on to her youngsters Julia and Alex. What are your earliest musical memories?

DK: I can recall my mother playing the piano and my father the accordion, as well as learning to play the piano in grade school on a cardboard keyboard when not using our piano at home. My folks encouraged participation in a local Drum and Bugle Corps, and later on, I studied with one of the trumpet players at the Chez Paree (a Chicago Nightclub in the ’50s), washing his 1955 Crown Victoria convertible in exchange for lessons. After lip surgery, the embouchure disappeared, so I switched to the guitar while filling in for our Church contemporary service. Carol played piano and sang in her high school choir, and she played and sang for our church choirs as well. Music has been a part of our family’s heritage from the beginning.

MSB: What music do you and your family listen to?

DK: We listen to virtually everything – classical, sacred, rock ’n roll, Motown, rhythm ’n blues. Karl Jenkins’ Adiemus accompanied the original Jet Man’s tour of the Grand Canyon which has since been removed from YouTube, but opened a whole new world of modern music. All three of our children have children involved in music. Katie’s daughter Julia joins me as a Pip, singing the background “Chugga woo woo” along with Gladys Knight’s Midnight Train to Georgia. One of our sons had a garage band as a teenager, and all of his sons are involved in music in some way. His eldest plays lead guitar in the Air Force Rock Band of the Pacific in Honolulu.

-27-

In March 2003 Don Kusterer conducted the A2SO after winning the Hearts for the Arts live auction conducting experience!

MSB: As Chair Sponsor, what would you say to someone considering sponsoring a chair?

DK: Perhaps most of us are passive in our lives musically, asking the orchestra “what can you do for me? how can you bring me pleasure?” We need to think about how we pass along our love of music to the next generation. We as parents need to encourage our children to play an instrument and develop an appreciation for the talent that it takes to make the wonderful sounds that we hear and take for granted. There are few solos in the world. Most of the music we hear is not the result of a solo voice or instrument; the harmony is only developed with multiple instruments or voices, an orchestra or band. We need to celebrate by taking a financial part in passing that joy of music to the world!

Join Don and Carol in supporting the artistry of your A2SO, and take your seat on stage by becoming a Chair Sponsor this season. For more information about this program and its benefits to you, please contact Mary at (734) 994-4801.

Leverage Your Gift to the A2SOYour generous cash donation to the A2SO helps your Symphony to continue making beautiful music as well as offering the many wonderful programs such as the A2SO Daytime Youth Concerts and Instrument Petting Zoos. Of course, it may also allow you to take an income tax deduction for the amount of your donation, significantly reducing the actual cost to you of making the donation.

If you were to donate $1,000 in cash to the A2SO, the actual cost of that gift to you is significantly less than $1,000. For example, if you fall in the 35% Federal Income Tax rate bracket and pay Michigan income tax (4.35%), the net cost of your gift is actually $606.50 after taking the $1,000 deduction on your Federal and Michigan returns.

Suppose, though, that you have marketable stock that is currently worth $1,000 that you purchased more than a year ago for $100. If you sell the stock in order to donate cash to the A2SO, you will pay capital gains tax on the $900 of appreciation (currently 15%).

If you donate the appreciated stock to the A2SO instead of giving cash, the Symphony still receives your generous donation of $1,000. But you are better off. Here’s why. You still receive an income tax deduction for the full value of the stock, but your gift of the stock does not trigger capital gains tax on the $900 of appreciation. By avoiding the capital gains tax, the net cost of your gift is now only $470.50!

Note: This illustration assumes that your itemize income tax deductions. Also, there are limitations on the total amount of charitable donations that you can make each year. Consult your tax advisor for details.

Keep Today’s A2SO Music Continuing

Many years of planning have gone into this season of the Joy of Music in the Key of A2

®. We couldn’t be more proud of the music created by this amazing resident professional orchestra. We hope today’s concert exceeds your expectations by giving your imagination flight, your heart solace, your intellect mental gymnastics and your sense of fun some time with both new and long-time friends.

I invite you to help keep today’s A2SO music continuing for future audiences. I invite you to remember your A2SO in your estate plans.

-33-

What better way to thank your A2SO for touching your life than to make a contribution from your estate through a planned gift.

How has the A2SO has touched your life?

* With Beethoven’s breathtaking Ode to Joy?

* With the riveting A2SO CD of Paul Fetler’s music, the goose-bump excitement of Beat! Beat! Drums!?

* With the shouts from bus load after bus load of ecstatic elementary-school children screaming “Copland Rocks!” or “A2SO is COOL!” after our March Youth Concerts?

Most of you here today have a stronger-than-passing interest in supporting your A2SO. I ask you to join me in establishing a planned gift to our beloved A2SO and keep the music playing.

Leave a Lasting LegacyPlanned gifts are simple. They are your tools to make very concrete things happen. What’s more, those tools are as varied as the gamut of musical styles you will hear this season. Your trust and tax advisors can adapt any number of tools to make what you want happen: bequests, charitable trusts, charitable gift annuities, IRAs, 401Ks, life insurance policies, to name just a few. For many of us, we fear that by making planned gifts we might short-shrift our family and relatives. Truth be told, leaving a gift to charity in your will may reduce the estate tax burden on your heirs significantly. Many of us think our gift is too small and doesn’t make a difference. This couldn’t be less true – gifts small and large are critically important.

More than 80 percent of Americans contribute to nonprofits annually throughout their lifetimes. But according to Leave a Legacy, only around 2.8% choose to continue this support through a charitable bequest.

By making a bequest or other planned gift, you play your part in helping your A2SO entertain, educate and inspire future audiences and make an important difference in our community.

Please feel free to contact me at (734) 994-4801 to keep the music playing.

Serenade No. 6 in D major, K. 239 “Serenata notturna”Wolfgang Amadeus MozartBorn January 27, 1756: Salzburg, AustriaDied December 5, 1791; Vienna

In Mozart’s time, serenades, divertimenti or cassations were composed as entertaining background music for everything from court festivals to picnics in the park. And one assumes that guests at a gathering or party were at all times conversing during the music. The harmonious sound provided a kind of audible wallpaper – attractive, simple, requiring little attention, and above all – it should not be too loud. “Background music” or “muzak” are the terms we use today. For the musicians who played it was just a gig, and pragmatism ruled in every case. If the occasion was a daytime event (most of them were), a piece would be titled “divertimento,” and pieces for a nighttime event were often titled “serenades” – sometimes with specific captions like Eine Kleine Nachtmusik or Notturna, as in the case of the current work.

Mozart was almost 20 years old when he completed K. 239, possibly intended for a New Year’s Day party in 1776 at the Salzburg court. Serenata notturna is a bit unusual in that it requires the players to be positioned on-stage as if in “stereo” – in that the score calls for a dialogue between two mini orchestras – violins, violas and bass on one side; violins, violas, cellos and timpani on the other. It is amusing to contemplate the premiere of the piece which had to be a noisy affair indeed – performed while guests arrived and wine and spirits served, not to mention the thick aroma of candle smoke and the chilly fingers and toes of the musicians.

Cast in three light movements, the music begins with what sounds like a processional march, setting the tone for the charming Maestoso. Maintaining in D major, the Menuetto in triple time is likewise ceremonious in character, with punctuations from the timpani. The coy Trio swings into G major for tonal contrast before the expected reprise. The third movement Rondo (variations on a recurring main theme) has an impromptu surprise along the way: a momentary Adagio, as if a prelude to the upbeat coda. Sheer delight.

Events of 1776 (Serenata notturna composed)- Detroit positioned by British Commander Henry Hamilton to be

a center of offense against American settlers during the Revolution- American Declaration of Independence- San Francisco established- Washington crosses the Delaware- The Washerwoman painted by Fragonard- Bolshoi Theater opens in Moscow- Voltaire sculpted by Jean Baptiste Pigalle- Burgtheater opera opens in Vienna- Cocktail invented by barmaid Betsy Flanagan- Phi Beta Kappa established at William and Mary

Concerto for Violin No. 3 in G Major, K. 216Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Because Mozart was as prolific as he was precocious, no one is surprised to learn that he composed five concertos for the violin. But it is also true that the quintuplets were composed within an interval of less than 12 months during 1775. As if that weren’t enough, the 19-year-old wunderkind scored at least eight other works in the same time frame. And when we note that Wolfgang Amadeus also composed 27 piano concertos – and that virtually all of the violin and piano concertos were written for his own solo appearances on both instruments – we are left in a state of awed delight, in the very least. We understand why his father, Leopold, once wrote to a friend: “Wolfgang is a miracle.”

About Mozart’s concertos and current work in particular, historian Arthur Hutchings has noted:

“The concertos require soloists as sensitively musical as the greatest singers. We judge their performances by beauty of tone, molding of phrases, judgment of major and minor climaxes, interplay with the orchestra and a sense of ‘build’ and paragraph. In short, we want to hear these works as if the composer were himself performing them. The G Major (K. 216) is deliciously youthful rather than actually child-like, yet it sometimes sounds as if the wish to dance were tempered by the wish to sing, so that the singing goes with the sense of movement.”

As for the music of Violin Concerto No. 3, the work begins with a brief, declarative figure, then adroitly converts into a colorful sonata-

-39-

allegro scheme in G major. The brilliant passages for the solo line are complemented by an adventurous cadenza, with dashing elegance and grace. The wistful mood of the second movement Adagio in D major is buffed lightly with piquant intonations, revealing that, despite his youth, the composer was already well at home within the intimate, second movement retreats which are heard in many of his later concertos, for violin and piano alike.

Back in G major for the third movement, Mozart carefully employs the French term Rondeau as a style cue, indicating a digression from the formal Rondo of the Italian tradition. Here the lithe and witty mix of tempo variation and melodic/harmonic surprise creates a musical breeze of indelible charm. Note the slight gypsy touch, “folksy” grace notes and Mozart’s droll wink right at the impromptu close in the woodwinds.

Events of 1775 (Violin Concerto No. 3 composed)- Henry Hamilton arrives in Detroit to take command- Paul Revere’s ride to warn Americans of approaching British troops- American Navy established- A Journey to Scotland written by Dr. Johnson- Sheridan creates “Mrs. Malaprop” in The Rivals- Beaumarchais writes The Barber of Seville - Yankee Doodle by Edward Barnes (on old English tune)- Royal Copenhagen Porcelain founded in Denmark

Overture to La clemenza di Tito, K. 621 (The Clemency of Titus)Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Mozart completed La clemenza di Tito in August of 1791, just months before his passing. The timeframe coincided with his work on Die Zauberflöte, which was premiered on the day La clemenza closed its first run in Vienna on September 30. For the next 30 years or so, La clemenza ranked with the most popular of Mozart’s operas before it virtually vanished from the repertoire for a century and a half.

The storyline is quite simple: Titus is a benign and kind ruler who fails to realize the passion held for him by Vitellia, the daughter of the former Emperor. When Titus is betrothed to her rival, Vitellia – in a jealous rage – plots to have him assassinated. By good fortune, he survives, and later grants clemency to the conspirators, including Vitellia, who despairs at his feet.

The spirited overture sets the tone for the opera overall, heralding both the serious elements of the plot and offering hints at the joyous triumph to come.

Events of 1791 (La clemenza di Tito composed)- Detroit and Michigan incorporated in Upper Canada- Vermont admitted as 14th state- Bill of Rights becomes U.S. law- Steamboat patent issued to John Fitch- Titanium discovered- Life of Samuel Johnson written by James Boswell- Tam O’Shanter written by Robert Burns- Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate completed- Odessa founded on the Black Sea- Camembert cheese rediscovered by Marie Fontane Harel in France

Trumpet Concerto in D major Leopold MozartBorn November 14, 1719; Augsburg, AustriaDied May 28, 1787; Salzburg

Leopold Mozart is best known to the world as the father of two extraordinary child prodigies – Wolfgang Amadeus and his older sister Nannerl. However, his own talents were considerable. Beyond extensive training on the violin, he was awarded a degree in philosophy from Salzburg’s prestigious Benedictine University. He also performed widely in various ensembles and became a fine violin teacher. His published treatise on violin instruction became one of the most important references in Europe. Leopold also pursued serious interest in composition with an ear for the changing styles which began to emerge from the Baroque Age.

In all, Leopold and his wife Anna Maria had seven children, of which only Nannerl and Wolfgang survived to maturity. Fortunately, Leopold was keenly suited to recognize the extraordinary gifts of the siblings, after which he devoted his life to their development. Although he is criticized for showing off the family wunderkinds to the great courts of Europe, he was no less devoted to their wellbeing and advancement.

Papa Mozart completed his Trumpet Concerto, a work of richly melodic themes and bel canto embellishments, in 1762, a full 50 years before the

-41-

style gained favor on the lyric stage in the operas of Rossini and others.

In the manner of Haydn, the concerto begins with an extended, slow introduction in the strings, with horns added along the way for color and tonal ballast, enabling the trumpeter to play more freely over the accompaniment. The entrance of the soloist might be a surprise, in that the tessitura is placed so high (see below). In turn, the trumpet offers a lyrical enchantment worthy of coloratura at its best, with opportunities for brief recitatives.

In decided contrast, the second movement Allegro moderato is oddly very brief. After an introduction in the full-voice strings and horns, a crystal-bright main tune in the solo line is followed by quaint variations rather than complete development. Nevertheless, the high-wire trumpet provides a tuneful entertainment clear to the impromptu close, with a mini-coda from the orchestra.

For reference, Leopold Mozart wrote his concerto for the Baroque trumpet, i.e., an instrument without the familiar valves of our modern instruments. However, by navigating in the highest register (tessitura), the player is able to use the mostly step-wise harmonics which are present above the low fundamental pitch of the curved tubing, pitched in D. Fortunately, today’s trumpeters have the advantage of valves which not only aid in technical facility but are also much less hazardous to keep in tune.

Events of 1762 (Trumpet Concerto composed)- Major Henry Gladwin commands military forces in Detroit- France expels Jesuits for political intrigues- Equitable Life Assurance established in London- The Social Contract written by J.J. Rousseau- Tiepolo paints frescoes at Madrid’s Royal Palace- Orfeo ed Euridice composed by Gluck- First St. Patrick’s Day Parade in New York- Foie gras introduced in Paris- J. Wedgewood named “Potter to the Queen of England”

Symphony No. 35 in D Major, K. 385 “The Haffner” Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

In 1782, Mozart’s father, Leopold, urged his son to dedicate a new symphony to the family of the late Burgomaster of Salzburg, Sigmund

-42-

Haffner. The occasion was the elevation of Sigmund the Younger to the rank of nobleman. In accepting the impromptu challenge, Mozart adroitly chose to link some of the new symphony’s melodic material to a previous serenade, K. 250, which he had composed six years earlier for a Haffner family wedding. Regretfully, the Haffners would not bother to acknowledge the classy connection, no more than they or any other nobles would intervene when Mozart’s life became perilously difficult just a decade later. Aristocratic society felt entitled to “entertainment”– even by someone named Wolfgang Amadeus – who they treated as a common servant. But one may be sure that Mozart knew the score, as he often found subtle ways to satirize royal vanity, especially in his operas.

K. 385 begins with a bright exclamation about which Wolfgang told his father, “The opening must be performed with great fire.” The vigorous octave leaps in the first few bars comprise the primary motif, and the fragment is employed in a variety of alterations throughout the movement, with abundant scales applied as decoration in the strings. The second movement Andante in G major reveals a lighter mood than the introspective and tender expressions which are normally found in symphonic second movements of the Classical period.

Returning to D major, the third movement Menuetto has an entertaining demeanor – really a divertimento with an appropriate tempo in the courtly fashion. For the last movement, Mozart again borrowed from himself: this time the source was the closing aria of a character named Osmin from the opera buffa titled The Abduction from the Seraglio (Osmin was a harem-keeper and a silly, would-be paramour who got drunk making a toast to abstinence). One can imagine the delight Mozart took while patching this theme into the closing movement of the new symphony to spoof his inconsiderate patrons. And about the Finale, young Wolfgang advised that “the music of the Presto should be played as fast as possible.” In fact the movement is technically very ambitious as a feisty sonata-rondo in bright D major.

In sum, Mozart was pleased with final result of the new work, which was premiered in Vienna in March of 1783. He wrote:

“Suffice it to say that the theater was crowded and every box was filled. What gratified me most was the presence of the Emperor, who gave me great applause. It is his usual custom to send the money to the box office before going to the theater; otherwise I might have hoped for a larger sum, because his delight was beyond all bounds.”

In high demand internationally since becoming a prizewinner at the 1993 Naumburg Violin Competition, Yehonatan Berick enjoys a busy concert schedule as soloist, recitalist, chamber musician, and pedagogue, throughout North America, Europe and Israel.

He started his musical education at the age of six. Having graduated from high school at 16, he entered the Tel Aviv University’s Music Academy, and completed his studies at the College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati, earning a full tuition and a Summa cum Laude. His principal violin teachers were Ilona Feher, Henry Meyer, Kurt Sassmanshauss, and Dorothy Delay, as well as Yair Kless. He had theory teachings with composer Sergiu Natra, and attended masterclasses with such artists as Isaac Stern, Henryk Szeryng, Max Rostal and Josef Gingold. One of the brightest talents of Israel, Berick won several Clairemont Awards, and received yearly stipends from the America-Israel Cultural Foundation.

Berick has performed, among others, with the Ann Arbor, Quebec, Winnipeg, Windsor, Grand Junction, Jerusalem and Haifa Symphonies, the Israeli, Cincinnati, Montreal and Manitoba Chamber Orchestras, Thirteen Strings and Ensemble Appassionata.

Berick’s many recital programs include offerings of complete cycles, including Bach’s complete Sonatas and Partitas, Paganini’s 24 Caprices (each cycle performed in a single day or concert), as well as complete Sonata cycles by Brahms, Beethoven, Schumann and Grieg.

He has collaborated with many world renowned artists, including pianists Menahem Pressler, James Tocco, Gilbert Kalish, and Awadagin Pratt; violists Michael Tree, Paul Neubauer and Kim Kashkashian; cellists David Soyer, Peter Wiley, Stephen Isserlis, David Finckel, Michel Strauss, and Yehuda Hanani, clarinetists Wolfgang Meyer and James Campbell, flutist Julius Baker, and many others from a long list of internationally renowned artists.

Berick is currently a member of the Los Angeles Piano Quartet, and of Walden Chamber Players. He previously held the position of co-artistic

director of the Quebec Chamber Music Society. Touring as a chamber musician with Musicians from Marlboro, The Lortie-Berick-Lysy Piano Trio, the Huberman String Quartet, Concertante Chamber Players and other chamber ensembles, he has been featured in the world’s most important music centers: London’s Wigmore Hall; Paris’s Musée du Louvre; Milan’s Sala Verdi; New York’s Carnegie Hall and Metropolitan Museum; Washington’s Kennedy Center, Freer Gallery and the Phillips Collection; Toronto’s Glenn Gould Studio and St. Lawrence Centre; and Quebec City’s Grand Theatre and Palais Montcalm.

On CD, Berick has recorded for the Centaur, Summit, Gasparo, Acoma, JMC and Helicon labels. His recording with the Amici ensemble, entitled Contrasts, has won rave reviews in the Canadian press. Other CD features include the Grand Concert for violin, piano and string quartet by Chausson; The Complete Bartók and Berio Violin Duos; Chamber Music by Paul Ben-Haim; The Impossible Dream by Gerhard Samuel; and Mordechai Seter’s unaccompanied violin sonata. Many of his concerts are broadcast on Radio and TV in Canada, Europe and Israel. The Bartók and Berio Duos CD is available for purchase in the lobby this evening.

Berick is equally sought after as violin teacher and as chamber music mentor. Prior to his current appointment as Professor of Violin at the U-M, he served on the faculties of McGill University and the Eastman School of Music. He has been invited as teacher and artist-in-residence at Bowdoin Music Festival (ME), Killington Music Festival (VT), The Shouse Institute (MI), The Beethoven Seminar (New York), Music@Menlo (CA), Keshet Eilon, Sounds in the Valley, and the JMC Young Players’ Unit (Israel), and has presented masterclasses worldwide.

Mr. Berick will be releasing a BluRay disc which will include commissions of new works inspired by the cycle of Paganini Caprices, of which he is currently in the midst of a worldwide tour.

Yehonatan Berick is currently playing on a violin by Joseph Guarneri from 1735, on a generous loan from the RAD Instrument Foundation and its head Yehuda Zisapel, and a viola by Stanley Kiernoziak from 2003.

This is Mr. Berick’s fourth appearance with the A2SO. He is a frequent performer at the A2SO’s Chamber Music Series.

Conductor WorkshopsMaestro Arie Lipsky ensures that our music reaches beyond the stage when he steps off of the podium and visits your classroom. K-12 students are given the opportunity to meet Arie and ask all of those questions they have always wanted to ask a conductor. He can play the flute or cello, teach students to conduct simple patterns, conduct a school orchestra, and share wisdom about a musical career.
