Genesee Valley Trust is unique. By design. When our founder couldn’t find an investment firm that met his needs, he started one himself. One with all of the principles he believed in—a sincere interest in the client, no proprietary funds, and a philanthropic focus on giving back to the community. Today, these principles are still the foundation of GVT.

Our goal is not merely to be your advisor, but your partner. And just like our founder, we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Dear Friends,

Welcome 2016! We are pleased to bring you a unique concert lineup for the first month of the New Year—from soaring acrobats to a live taping of a popular radio program.

Ring in the New Year with Jeff Tyzik and Cirque Musica (Jan. 8 & 9), featuring performances by some of the best cirque artists in the world. Aerial flyers, jugglers, contortionists, acrobats, dancers, and balancers are just a few of the sights to be seen onstage with your RPO. That same weekend, Michael Butterman continues our Sunday Matinee Series at Hochstein Performance Hall (Jan. 10), with Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring. You don’t want to miss the opportunity to hear Copland’s 1945 Pulitzer Prize-winning suite! Next up, Parisian conductor Fabien Gabel returns to interpret Tchaikovsky’s sixth and final symphony, “Pathétique.” Joining the RPO are returning guest soloists Karen Gomyo, violin, and Julie Albers, cello. While so many of the classic concertos only highlight one soloist, this particular Brahms composition allows two outstanding instrumentalists the chance to shine.

Later this month, Ward Stare and the RPO will take to the air (waves) with a live taping of NPR’s From the Top Live with Host Christopher O’Riley (Jan. 17). As part of the RPO’s deep commitment to engage and inspire all members of our community through music, we are proud to bring this unique concert event that honors young talent to Rochester. Now in its 15th season, From the Top celebrates the stories and talents of classically trained young musicians from across the nation. The weekly hourlong radio program is heard on WXXI Classical 91.5 FM on Sundays as well as nearly 220 stations nationwide. The RPO’s taping of From the Top will air on WXXI on Sunday, February 14 at 5 PM.

From all of us at the RPO, we wish you a healthy and happy New Year!

Ward StareMusic Director

Appointed the 12th music director of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra in July 2014, Rochester native Ward Stare has been described as “one of the hottest young conductors in America” by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Stare opened the RPO’s 2015–16 season at Kodak Hall with an evening of orchestral showstoppers, including Respighi’s Pines of Rome. Also this season at the RPO, Stare will collaborate with highly regarded guest soloists, including violinist Simone Porter, soprano Erin Wall, and world-renowned pianists Yuja Wang and Olga Kern.

Stare’s recent seasons have seen a number of highly anticipated debuts with orchestras around the world, including performances with the Baltimore Symphony, Sydney Symphony, Pittsburgh Symphony, and the Calgary Philharmonic. He made his debut with the Grant Park Music Festival in July of 2015, and returns to the New World Symphony in 2016.

Stare’s frequent collaboration with the Lyric Opera of Chicago began with his debut in 2012 conducting performances of Hansel and Gretel; he returned in 2013 to lead Die Fledermaus, and again in November 2014 to lead Porgy and Bess to rave reviews. Following his critically acclaimed debut with the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis (OTSL) in 2013 conducting Il Tabarro and Pagliacci, Stare returned to OTSL the next season for performances of Dialogues of the Carmelites. He made his debut with the Washington National Opera conducting Donizetti’s comic opera L’elisir d’amore in 2014.

Equally active on the concert stage, Stare served as resident conductor of the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra from 2008 to 2012. In 2009 he made his highly successful Carnegie Hall debut with the orchestra, stepping in at the last minute to lead H. K. Gruber’s Frankenstein! The 2013–14 season saw his return to the Atlanta and Detroit symphony orchestras, as well as his debuts with the Syracuse Symphoria, the Jacksonville Symphony, and the Naples Philharmonic with Lang Lang as soloist. Other recent engagements include the Houston, Québec, and Dallas symphonies, as well as numerous engagements with the Saint Louis Symphony where he served as a regular guest conductor on the orchestra’s 2012–13 Family, Special Event and Subscription Series.

Stare was trained as a trombonist at The Juilliard School in Manhattan. At 18, he was appointed principal trombonist of the Lyric Opera of Chicago and has performed as an orchestral musician with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic, among others. As a soloist, he has concertized in both the U.S. and Europe. wardstare.com

Strauss composed this attractive one-movement piece in 1881, as a 17-year-old high school student. He scored it for pairs of flutes, oboes, clarinets, and bassoons, plus four horns and double bassoon or bass tuba. Unsurprisingly for the creation of a brilliant but immature composer, it shows numerous influences, including Mozart, Brahms, Schumann, and Mendelssohn. Still, there are traces of the mature Strauss to be heard and enjoyed throughout.

In 1866, Wagner entered into his final and most stable relationship with Cosima, daughter of his close musical ally, Franz Liszt. The tender Siegfried Idyll, based on themes from his recently completed opera, Siegfried, is his musical gift to her and their 18-month-old son, also named Siegfried. At sunrise on December 25, 1870, which was not only Christmas Day but also Cosima’s 33rd birthday, it was premiered by a small orchestra stationed on the winding staircase leading to the second floor of Triebschen, the villa where the Wagners lived on the shore of Lake Lucerne, Switzerland. This is decidedly unusual Wagner: blissful, serene, and filled with quiet joy.

Before Mahler’s First Symphony was published in 1899, he decided to discard Blumine (Flower Piece), the second of the five movements. The origin of this piece goes back to 1883, in his incidental music for a dramatization of scenes from a poem called The Trumpeter of Sakkingen. It is a nostalgic, delicately scored creation, its main theme introduced by solo trumpet.

from the stageRebecca Gilbert, fluteThe Charlotte Whitney Allen Chair

In his 1990 New York Times obituary, Aaron Copland was dubbed “Dean of American Music” because of his distinctive harmonic language and vivid settings of quintessentially American subjects. In his ballet Appalachian Spring, written for Martha Graham, the storyline of the transformation of a pioneer woman and the passing of traditions, strength, and resilience is described in eight beautiful scenes. The feminine voice of the flute is featured in a very prominent role throughout the work and the flute solos are some of the loveliest and most satisfying to play in the entire repertoire.

This is one of the first pieces I shared with my children after they were born because of the beautifully soothing and nostalgic feeling that permeates the music. The joyful, ennobling innocence in this music continues to give me great comfort on the great journey of motherhood. It makes me feel connected to the countless generations of women who have forged their own paths and, each in their own way, contributed invaluable wisdom and insight to our collective evolutionary well-being.

During the 1930s, Copland and the celebrated choreographer Martha Graham developed a mutual sense of admiration, based on their shared interest in simple, natural expression. Their first opportunity to collaborate came when arts patron Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge commissioned Copland to write a score specifically for Graham’s company. The premiere took place on October 30, 1944.

The scenario unfolds during the early 19th Century, on the site of a Pennsylvania farmhouse that has just been built as a pre-wedding gift for a young couple. Here is Copland’s own synopsis: “The bride to be and the young farmer husband enact the emotions, joyful and apprehensive, which their new domestic partnership invites…At the end the couple are left quiet and strong in their new house.” The music climaxes in a set of variations on Simple Gifts, a hymn tune associated with the Shakers, a New England religious sect.

INTERMISSION

TCHAIKOVSKY Symphony No. 6 in B Minor, Op. 74 45:00 “Pathétique” Adagio - Allegro non troppo Allegro con grazia Allegro molto vivace Finale: Adagio lamentoso

Julie Albers and Karen Gomyo’s appearances are made possible in part by The Alfred Davis and Brunhilde Knapp Artists Performance Fund.

Early on, Scriabin focused his energies on a career as a concert pianist. He played a great deal of his own music, which at that time was sufficiently traditional—with its echoes of Chopin and Tchaikovsky—to find widespread favor with audiences. Later he shifted his efforts primarily to composition.

Embracing philosophical concepts drawn from eastern religions and nonconformist Russian poetry, he came to think of music as a medium for the expression of his mystical beliefs, as well as a means to bring about the spiritual enlightenment of listeners. He

saw himself as the purveyor of universal truth, his goal to prepare humanity for the upcoming intermingling of man and divinity. These feelings inspired him to compose music of soaring emotion, new, unusual harmonies, and immense color.

Rêverie is a sweet, delicate example of his early style. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov conducted the premiere in St. Petersburg on December 5, 1898. The audience demanded and received an immediate encore. Its personality and style are highly Romantic, tinged with hints of Debussy’s Impressionism.

Like Beethoven before him, Brahms thought of the concerto in fully symphonic terms, not subscribing to the flashy, empty solo vehicles written by many composers of the day. Each of his four concertos—two for piano, one for violin, and one for violin and cello—is a substantial work drawn on a large canvas. On the technical level they are actually quite demanding, but unlike so many Romantic concertos, they ask as much of their soloists’ intelligence, taste, and humanity as their fingers.

Brahms and Joseph Joachim, the esteemed Hungarian violinist, conductor, and composer, enjoyed a close and productive friendship. Brahms consulted closely with Joachim during the composition of his Violin Concerto, and dedicated it to him. Joachim figured in another Brahms concerto, the one fated to be the last (it also is Brahms’ final work for orchestra).

Not long after the premiere of the Violin Concerto in 1879, Joachim’s marriage came to an end. Brahms decided to take Mrs. Joachim’s

side in the split, thus alienating his friend. After several years of painful separation, Brahms set out to create a musical gesture of reconciliation. During the summer of 1887, he composed this double concerto for violin and cello, with Joachim specifically in mind. Joachim decided to accept this musical apology, although observers noted that he and Brahms never again achieved the same degree of camaraderie they had enjoyed prior to their split. The first performance took place in Cologne on October 15, 1887. Brahms conducted, with Joachim and cellist Robert Hausmann as soloists.

Tchaikovsky believed himself the victim of a cold, implacable fate. In the last three of his six symphonies, he depicted his struggle against it. He won some degree of victory in the fourth and fifth. But in the sixth, his greatest work (which could be taken as his last will and testament), fate reigned supreme.

He conducted the premiere himself, in St. Petersburg on October 28, 1893. It met with a puzzled reaction, especially regarding the unprecedented act of concluding a symphony with a slow movement. Nine days later Tchaikovsky was dead, perhaps by suicide. The second performance took place at his memorial service, and made a much deeper impression than the first.

On the day after the premiere, the composer was still searching for an appropriate title for the piece. His brother Modest suggested “pathétique,” a French word of Greek origin that is commonly used in Russian. The composer inscribed this immediately on the score. Translating it into English simply as “pathetic” reduces the original word’s undercurrent of passion and suffering.

The symphony opens with a slow, mournful introduction. The expansive exposition section contrasts a restless first subject with a consoling second. The explosive start of the development heralds many pages of mounting hysteria. This section contains a musical quotation from the traditional Russian Requiem Mass, sung to the words “with thy saints, O Christ, give peace to the soul of thy servant.” It is crowned by a passage of slow, stern grandeur, where the trombones and tuba take on the roles of funeral orators.

The following waltz opens with graceful contrast. However, with five beats to the bar instead of the usual three, the mood is thrown off kilter, with disturbing, bittersweet results. In the middle panel, the quiet but insistent beat of the timpani further robs the themes of their otherwise graceful nature.

The third movement begins as a dynamic scherzo. Gathering momentum, it appears to become a blazing march of triumph, sweeping all before it. David Brown, author of an authoritative, four-volume biography of Tchaikovsky, takes on another view. He commented “...this march is, in fact, a deeply ironic, bitter conception—a desperate bid for happiness so prolonged and vehement that it confirms not only the desperation of the search, but also its futility.”

The symphony’s slow, anguished finale confirms this view. Despite repeated protests, resignation becomes complete. A quiet stroke on the tam tam announces fate’s victory. The music sinks back into the dark depths of the orchestra where it began.

rpo.org | 454-2100 25

The first movement contains the lion’s share of the drama. The second is sweet and songful. Brahms concludes the concerto with another of the Hungarian or (gypsy flavored) rondos that he created for several other major scores, the Violin Concerto and Piano Quartet in G Minor among them. This example is serious enough to compare favorably with the preceding movements.

artistsFabien Gabel, guest conductorRecognized internationally as one of the stars of the new generation, Fabien Gabel is a regular guest of major orchestras in Europe, North America, and Asia, and has been music director of the Quebec Symphony Orchestra since September 2013.

In 2014−15 and 2015−16, Fabien Gabel returns with the Oslo Philharmonic, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Houston Symphony Orchestra, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre de Paris, Orchestre National de France, Royal Flemish Philharmonic, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, Brussels Philharmonic, Bremer Philharmoniker, Filharmonía de Galicia, and will debut with the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, Düsseldorfer Symphoniker, Helsinki Philharmonic, NDR Sinfonie Orchester, Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Seoul Philharmonic, Orchestre National de Belgique, Auckland Symphony, and Brisbane’s Queensland Symphony. He also will conduct Carmen at the Norwegian Opera in Oslo. His last appearance with the RPO was in March 2015.

Gabel first attracted international attention in 2004 winning the Donatella Flick competition in London, which subsequently led to his appointment as the LSO’s assistant conductor for the 2004−05 and 2005−06 seasons. Since then, the LSO has engaged him regularly as a guest conductor.

He made his professional conducting debut in 2003 with the Orchestre National de France and has since returned frequently. He now regularly conducts this orchestra in subscription concerts at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris and recently recorded a French opera aria CD with them and mezzo-soprano Marie-Nicole Lemieux (Naïve).

Born in Paris and a member of a family of accomplished musicians, Gabel began studying trumpet at the age of six, honing his skills at the Conservatoire de Paris, which awarded him a first prize in trumpet in 1996, and later at the Hochschule für Musik in Karlsruhe, Germany. He went on to play in various Parisian orchestras under the direction of prominent conductors such as Pierre Boulez, Sir Colin Davis, Riccardo Muti, Seiji Ozawa, Simon Rattle, and Bernard Haitink. In 2002 Fabien Gabel pursued his interest in conducting at the Aspen Summer Music Festival, where he studied with David Zinman, who invited him to appear as a guest conductor at the Festival in 2009. He has studied with Bernard Haitink, Sir Colin Davis, and Paavo Järvi.

Christopher O’Riley, host/piano Christopher O’Riley has redefined the possibilities of classical music through media, contemporary music, and innovative programming. In addition to hosting From the Top’s radio and television programs and appearing with top orchestras and festivals around the world, O’Riley also is an interpreter of some of the most important contemporary popular music of our time, living by the Duke Ellington adage, “there are only two kinds of music, good music and bad.”

O’Riley has performed two-piano arrangements of Ástor Piazzolla’s tangos with Argentine pianist Pablo Ziegler, and collaborated with choreographer Martha Clarke in a work that sets the staged stories of Anton Chekhov to the piano works of Alexander Scriabin. He has recorded two discs of his own re-imaginings of Radiohead songs, as well as that of singer/songwriter Nick Drake, and a tribute to Elliot Smith. In 2009, he drew from the works of Nirvana, REM, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Tori Amos, The Smiths, Cocteau Twins, Portishead, and others in Out of My Hands. In 2011, O’Riley teamed up with cellist Matt Haimovitz on Shuffle.Play.Listen., a collaboration that plumbs the virtuosic possibilities of their instruments and blurs the boundaries between classical and pop music. In O’Riley’s Liszt, released in 2013, he delves into the transcriptions of Franz Liszt, adding his own touches and insight to the music of Mozart, Wagner, Berlioz, Schubert, and Schumann. Most recently, O’Riley again teamed up with cellist Matt Haimovitz to release Beethoven, Period., featuring Beethoven’s complete sonatas and variations for fortepiano and violoncello, recorded on period instruments.

O’Riley is a recipient of top prizes and awards from the Van Cliburn Competition and the Avery Fisher Career Grants. He is a graduate of New England Conservatory in Boston, Mass.

Pedestrians may one day be able to

cross the Genesee River Gorge on a

new pedestrian bridge, taking in views

of High Falls on a greenscaped Pont

de Rennes Bridge and walking down

into the gorge.The city of Rochester is undertaking a

study to look at public access improve-

ments through the High Falls District

and Genesee River gorge, creating more

connections among trails in the area and

making access easier for pedestrians.

The study, which is being conduct-

ed by Labella Associates DPC and ex-

pected to be completed in the coming

Mark Taubman is slated

to take the helm of the

largest division at UR

By WILL ASTOR

Slated to take over as University of Roch-

ester Medical Center CEO in January, Mark

Taubman M.D. will head the largest divi-

sion of UR—the region’s largest employer.

Taubman already serves as dean of the

School of Medicine and Dentistry.

The sprawling medical complex is one

of the nation’s leading research institu-

tions and provides much of the health care

in the greater Rochester area and a broad

swath of the Finger Lakes region. It al-

so employs some two-thirds of UR’s ap-

proximately 25,000-employee workforce.

In an arrangement previously untried

at UR, Taubman plans to stay at the helm

of School of Medicine and Dentistry after

he steps into the CEO slot.

to UTC Retail Inc., led by Samuel Villanti, at left

By MIKE DICKINSON

TC Retail Inc. grabbed the top spot on the 2014 Roches-

ter Top 100.

The Victor, Ontario County-based company rose to the

top of this year’s list after being absent from the annual tally

for roughly a decade, dating back to when it was known as

Ultimate Technology Corp.

UTC Retail, which employs 76 workers, is a retail technology

company that offers products and services that help retailers

improve their business. Its clients range from the corporate

headquarters of retailers with as few as 25 stores to compa-

nies with thousands of store locations.Continued on page 17

A brewery opens roughly

every 10 days somewhere

across state of New York

By KERRY FELTNER

A mix of legislation, gen-Xers and mil-

lennials, and optimal timing has

helped give rise to strong craft

brewery growth in New York.

The two N.Y. regions seeing

the most growth are the Fin-

ger Lakes Region and Long

Island, the New York

State Brewers Associa-

tion reports. Indeed, in

four years the Finger

Lakes Beer Trail—which spans

some 210 miles and runs from

Rochester to Syracuse and Corn-

ing to Binghamton—has grown

from 24 members to 82, as of June.

Last year the U.S. craft beer industry

generated close to $55.7 billion and

over 424,000 jobs for the country’s

economy, according to the Colorado-

based Brewers Association. More than

115,000 of those jobs were directly at

breweries and brewpubs.

A Brewers Association study ranked

New York fourth in the nation for craft

beer sales with $2.9 billion in to-

tal impact to the economy: The

state boasts 181 craft brewer-

ies and a production rate of

948,228 barrels a year.

Two years ago the state

had 207 craft breweries,

which added a total of

11,366 full-time jobs

and $450 million in craft

beer tourism. The industry in New

York saw $554 million in wages

and craft breweries produced 1

million barrels, according to the

New York State Brewers Association’s

Brewing a recipe for growth

By LORI GABLE

LighTopTech Corp. has been award-

ed a $750,000 Small Business Innova-

tion Research grant from the National

Science Foundation to further study a

breakthrough technology that came out

of the University of Rochester.

The two women who founded the

Henrietta company, Jannick Rolland

and Cristina Canavesi, said the grant

will bring the company one step clos-

er to commercializing an imaging tool

that has many applications in contact

lens manufacturing in the short term—

and in potential lifesaving medical di-

agnosis applications in the future.
