Welcome to “White Nights: A musical journey through Russia”- our 19th Annual Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival! This year we focus on music of the Russian masters, and to give context to our voyage, I have included below a moving description of White Nights in Russia from one of the Festival’s friends, Sergei Boikov. I hope you enjoy the journey with us.

Artistic Director

“White Nights” in Russia signifies the magical time in St. Petersburg, from the end of May through mid-July, when the skies over the city do not seem to go dark, but instead vary from bright sunshine to the soft pastels of twilight.

Those who experience St. Petersburg during the White Nights run the risk of falling in love with the “Venice of the North” forever. The magnificence of the city’s architecture, etched in dark relief against the bright sky, further emphasizes the special lighting. If the city is caught by a slight fog, St. Petersburg takes on an alluring and romantic mood, with time standing still in the prolonged daylight. White Nights brings thousands of people to the city’s squares, gardens, and granite-faced embankments along the Neva River, where one can breathe the maritime air mixed with the scent of blooming lilac from Peter the Great’s riverside Summer Garden.

Throughout history, White Nights has been celebrated by great artists, famous poets and writers, and has served as the inspiration for a number of film makers. A few examples include Alexander Pushkin’s poem The Bronze Horseman: A Petersburg Tale (1834), Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel White Nights (1848); the film by Luchino Visconti, Le Notti Bianche (1957); and the film by Taylor Hackford, White Nights (1985), starring Mikhail Baryshnikov.

St. Petersburg was a part of both everyday life and inspiration for a number of composers whose works you will hear throughout the Festival including: Tchaikovsky, Glazunov, Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, and Shostakovich.

At this time of year, St. Petersburg traditionally hosts numerous festivals. Today, the music festival, “The Stars of the White Nights,” is considered to be among the top ten summer music festivals in the world. Perhaps the most spectacular public event during the White Nights is the annual all-night “Scarlet Sails,” which is a celebration for the more than thirty thousand high school graduates. A romantic sailing ship flies scarlet sails on a midnight cruise along the Neva River accompanied by a light show and the Anthem to the Great City from Gliére’s ballet, The Bronze Horseman. More than three million people have been known to participate in this grandiose event!

For these two weeks, we celebrate the Russian White Nights in Detroit. More alike than many think, St. Petersburg and Detroit are nearly the same age (Detroit being just two years older), they are both associated with important waterways, are occasionally hit by humidity and freezing rains, and both have had dramatic histories of glory and despair. Most importantly though, despite being continents apart, the citizens of Detroit and St. Petersburg have a long history of respect and appreciation for their cultural institutions, institutions that have been a source of inspiration and strength for both cities in their most trying times.

Sergei Boikov, MD, PhD, graduated from Wayne State University and works as an Audiologist. He and his wife Dina moved from Russia to the U.S. in 1992. They host pianist Anton Nel.

endowment Funds

An endowment fund provides a unique means of contributing for those people interested in making a lasting impact on the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival. Endowment funds are invested for the long-term, offering ongoing stability while supplying additional revenue each year through returns gained on the investment. To date, donors have contributed more than $550,000 in endowed funds to the Festival.

The Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival Fund This fund was established in honor of James Tocco with a bequest from Carol Harford, a close friend of Catherine Filene Shouse (for whom the Shouse Institute is named).

The Stone Composer EndowmentThis endowment fund was established in memory of Eunice and Joshua (Jim) Stone by their three daughters, Gwen Weiner, Marcy Klein, and Carol DePaul. Its purpose is to support the Festival’s Composer-in-Residence program and to foster young composers by presenting premieres of their original works. In 2012, the Stone Composer-in-Residence is Joel Hoffman. Stone Composer Fellow, Michael Ippolito, will premiere a new work and benefit from coaching and mentoring by Hoffman.

Paul Katz Cello Chair in Memory of Morris D. Baker A chair established by Beverly Franzblau Baker in memory of Morris D. Baker, this fund supports a cellist at the Festival each year. The 2012 honoree is Paul Katz.

Eugene Istomin Endowed Piano Chair A chair established by James Tocco, this fund created an endowed position in the name of Eugene Istomin, one of the great pianists of the 20th century. This year, the honor goes to Elisabeth and Eugene Pridonoff.

Ruth Laredo Endowed Piano Chair This chair was established in 2004 to honor the late pianist and Detroit native, Ruth Laredo. Returns on the investment are used to underwrite a pianist each year. Pei-Shan Lee’s performances will be supported in 2012.

Rev. Msgr. Anthony M. Tocco Endowed Composition Chair The chair was established in 2006 in honor of Rev. Msgr. Anthony Tocco through the estate of the late Festival supporter, Wilda C. Tiffany. The fund’s proceeds will bring new compositions to life. The first work funded in part was Paul Schoenfield’s Refractions, premiering June 15-16, 2006.

Henry Meyer Endowed Violin Chair This chair has been established in memory of Henry Meyer, longtime violinist of the LaSalle Quartet and the beloved founding director of the Festival’s Shouse Institute. Once it has reached its goal, this fund will support a violinist at the Festival each year. This fund partially supports Tai Murray’s appearances in 2012.

Beverly Franzblau Baker Young Artist Chair This chair was established by a gift from Beverly Baker in 2007. Each year, the proceeds from this fund will be used to sponsor the appearance of a young professional performer at the Festival. Pianist Sofja Gülbadamova will be honored in 2012.

The Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival was born in 1994 of a remarkable relationship between religious and cultural institutions. A secular event, the Festival is sponsored by three religious institutions (representing Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant faiths) and Detroit Chamber Winds & Strings, a musical ensemble that also provides administration for the Festival.

For two weeks each June, the Festival presents some 20 concerts in southeastern Michigan. Many of these performances occur in the venues of the Festival’s sponsors - St. Hugo of the Hills, Temple Beth El and Kirk in the Hills. Additional locations include the Detroit Institute of Arts, Kerrytown Concert House (Ann Arbor), Grosse Pointe Memorial Church, the Art Gallery of Windsor, and Seligman Performing Arts Center.

Pianist James Tocco has been Artistic Director of the Festival since its inception. A native Detroiter, Mr. Tocco has brought a rotating contingent of world-class musicians to the Festival, creating an event of national significance.

The Composer-in-Residence program, instituted in 1997, has brought John Corigliano, Joan Tower, Ned Rorem, William Bolcom, John Harbison, Paul Schoenfield, Chen Yi, and Zhou Long to the Festival, among others. Joel Hoffman will be the 2012 Stone Composer-in-Residence. In 2009, the Festival introduced the Stone Composer Fellowship, which allows a young composer to debut new work and shadow an established artist. This year, the Festival welcomes Stone Composer Fellow, Michael Ippolito, who will debut his new work, Songlines.

The Festival also provides a major educational initiative to assist ensembles emerging to professional stature - the Shouse Institute brings groups to Detroit from throughout the world for performances and coachings by Festival artists. Among the groups matriculating through this program are eighth blackbird, the Jupiter Quartet, the Claremont Trio, the Pacifica Quartet, the Corigliano Quartet, the Parker Quartet, the Enso Quartet, and many other fine young ensembles.

The Festival’s concerts have been featured on NPR’s Performance Today and the Festival has released CDs on the Gasparo label, the Newport Classics label, and Albany Records. The national media has also paid the Festival favorable attention, with mention in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and Travel and Leisure Magazine.

Temple Beth ElTemple Beth El is Michigan’s first Jewish congregation. Its beginnings date back to 1850, when Sarah and Isaac Cozens invited eleven other Detroit Jewish families to meet in their home. From that beginning, the Beth El Society was born. Since that time, Beth El has grown to over 1,200 members and has occupied many homes.

Its current Temple, on Telegraph and 14 Mile Road, was designed by Minoru Yamasaki, who conceived the building as a contemporary Biblical tent. Soaring skyward 80 feet, the Temple stands as a stunning monument to the congregation’s faith and vision. That vision has been evident throughout its history. Beth El has taken an innovative and leading role in building Jewish life, both in its own congregation and the larger Detroit community. The first to establish a Detroit Jewish school and secure ground for a Jewish cemetery, Beth El also formed the Beth El Hebrew Relief Society, the first centralized Jewish philanthropic agency in Detroit. Although it began as an Orthodox congregation, Beth El was among the first congregations in America to embrace Reform Judaism and is one of the original charter members of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, the central body of American Reform Judaism.

Today, Beth El continues to be in the forefront of leadership and innovation, providing a home to those who seek spiritual fulfillment and evidencing a commitment to social action, education, culture, and ecumenical outreach.

Kirk in the Hills Presbyterian ChurchSituated in a 40-acre setting on Island Lake in Bloomfield Hills, Kirk in the Hills is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA). The church’s neo-gothic design was patterned after the 12th century Melrose Abbey in Scotland. Colonel Edwin S. George, a prominent Detroit businessman and real-estate investor, saw a need for a church in this area and established the George Foundation for this purpose.

The congregation was organized by the Presbytery of Detroit in 1947 and the first services were held that year in Cedarholm Chapel. The cornerstone for the new church was laid in 1951. The Kirk held its first services in the sanctuary in 1958. The sanctuary’s 80-rank Moller Organ has more than 5,000 pipes and its stunning stained-glass windows illustrate the major themes and figures of the Bible.

The 77-bell carillon tower is the world’s largest in number of bells tied with the Kirk’s sister tower, Hyechon College in Korea. The largest bell, called the Bourdon, is nearly seven feet in diameter and weighs six tons. The smallest bell weighs 14 pounds and is only six inches in diameter.

The Kirk House is a mansion built in 1923 in the English Tudor style. It contains an extensive collection of 16th and 17th century religious art, offices for the Kirk’s staff, a Board Room, and Bride’s Rooms. The Kirk’s present membership is approximately 2,200.

St. Hugo of the Hills Catholic ChurchSt. Hugo of the Hills Catholic Church serves an area of 20 square miles in the center of Oakland County. The church membership, which now comprises some 3,200 families, has a long and distinguished history. The first mass at the site was celebrated in 1931 and its Stone Chapel was completed five years later.

The original rectory was adjacent to the Chapel; the present rectory was built in 1941. The first unit of St. Hugo’s school was completed in 1940, while the school reached its present form with the library and art and science classroom additions in 1968. A year earlier, the current St. Hugo’s convent was completed.

Rev. Msgr. Anthony Tocco was appointed pastor at St. Hugo’s in 1985. The following year, a plan was developed for the construction of a new Church/Parish Complex, which included administrative offices, meeting rooms, a Bride’s Room/Child center, and a multi-use Social Hall with kitchen. The design for the new Church was determined by the strength and simplicity of the original stone church. The new Church incorporates much of the old by using many of the same building materials, most especially the stone taken from the same quarry in Wisconsin. The new Church was dedicated on Sunday, April 16, 1989.

Host ensemble

Detroit Chamber Winds & StringsSince its founding in 1982, Detroit Chamber Winds & Strings has set the standard for chamber music in Detroit. By bringing together the top musicians from the metro area, most of whom are members of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and Michigan Opera Theatre, DCWS immerses audiences in a chamber music experience that is innovative, entertaining, and unsurpassed anywhere in the region.

With chamber music as its foundation, DCWS’ mission has evolved to address the ever-changing, ever-challenging Detroit arts landscape with grand achievements. Some 30 new works have been premiered. Five CDs have been released. Tours have stretched throughout the United States and as far as Switzerland.

DCWS has pioneered a unique model for arts management. DCWS shares its staff with the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival and the Eisenhower Dance Ensemble. Each organization maintains its individual identity, along with its own board of directors and institutional mission, but they share almost everything else that goes into administering successful arts organizations: office space, accounting, technology, and staff.

DCWS extends these administrative services to other institutions that benefit from sharing expertise and resources on a more limited basis. Among DCWS’ client organizations are the Birmingham-Bloomfield Symphony Orchestra, the Cultural Alliance of Southeastern Michigan, Detroit Children’s Choir, Motor City Brass Band, and ProMusica of Detroit. These partnerships are undertaken with a goal of serving DCWS’ core mission of providing great concerts and arts education services.

DCWS will celebrate its 31st year in 2012-13.

The Quartet received extensive scholarship support from the America-Israel Cultural Foundation, Dov and Rachel Gottesman, and the Legacy Heritage Fund. Most recently, they were awarded a substantial grant from The A.N. and Pearl G. Barnett Family Foundation and were named the 2011 Barnett Fellows.

Another of Díaz’s orchestral solo releases (also on the Dorian label) features the Villas-Lobos Cello Concerto No. 2 with the Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra and conductor Enrique Diemecke.
