EDUCATIONThe Juilliard School

David Herbert Principal Timpani The Clinton Family Fund Chair

Which works are you most looking forward to performing, and why?Anything and everything with Maestro Riccardo Muti; he is truly a gift to our great orches-tra and this incredible city. He makes us feel special and appreciated, and we endeavor to meet (and hopefully exceed) his extremely high expectations.

I also have a tremendous amount of respect and antic-ipation for performing with Herbert Blomstedt. He makes you feel that a great perfor-mance is a precious, or even religious, experience.

Offstage, I like to:I have a new YouTube channel called Tuned in with David Herbert that is focused on music education and discussions with members of the CSO and other musicians. I encourage you to watch and subscribe. I’m also studying Italian, but am discouraged because I’m unable to roll my “Rrrrrrs.”

What is some of your favorite music?I must admit that I love the Carpenters, the Ink Spots, Les Baxter—anything that’s sentimental or exotic is music to my ears—but nothing is better than Schubert. That’s the abso-

lute pinnacle for me. Stranded on a desert island, I’d take Schubert’s songs and string quartets and be very happy.

What is your most mem-orable CSO performance or experience?I will never forget those incred-ible concerts of Bach’s B minor mass with Maestro Muti—my first time playing with him.

Why did you choose your instrument?It’s the best of all things. I get to play Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, and Schubert (my favorite), and the drums!

Which works are you most looking forward to performing, and why?In January, we are play-ing Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra. This piece contains one of my favorite piccolo parts in addition to wonderful passages for the entire orches-tra. During the same week, the CSO will play for the movie Singin’ in the Rain. Movie nights are always fun.

Offstage, I like to:When I am not onstage, you might find me meeting friends for dinner, going to a show, exercising at my local Bar Method studio, or heading to Austin to visit my husband (a

University of Texas clarinet professor) and our two pups. When we’re in Austin, you will find us boating on Lake Travis.

Who are your favorite composers? It is very hard for me to pick a favorite because it changes from week to week depending on who is conducting. For example, I love playing Verdi under Maestro Muti’s direc-tion, Mahler’s symphonies with Haitink, American music with Michael Tilson Thomas, and French music with Charles Dutoit. Each conductor brings their musical opinions, and it is the Orchestra’s job to deliver their wishes.

Why did you choose your instrument? I think the piccolo chose me. I am drawn to the colorful addi-tion it makes to the orchestral sound. It often does not get enough credit as a beautiful instrument, and I hope to change listeners’ opinions about that.

Any advice for listeners?Come and enjoy! You don’t need a music degree to enjoy a concert. If you would like more information about the concert, the preconcert lectures and Classic Encounter series are great ways to get a taste of what you are about to experience.

For more on the CSO at Wheaton, visit cso.org.

After experimenting with summer concerts in the western suburbs for a few years, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association decided to introduce an annual series indoors at Wheaton College’s Edman Memorial Chapel in 2016. “We learned while looking through our database that a relatively small number of people travel from DuPage County to downtown Chicago to hear the CSO,” said Jeff Alexander, president of the CSOA. “We felt that if we performed concerts there, we could present them to an almost com-pletely new audience.” For a second season, three programs from the CSO’s subscription series in Orchestra Hall travel to Wheaton. “It’s unques-tionably the same quality programs that we off er in Wheaton as we off er in downtown Chicago.” Th is was certainly the case at the November 10 performance that featured Manfred Honeck conducting a program of works by Schubert and Bach as well as Berg’s Violin Concerto performed by Arabella Steinbacher.

Th e CSOA began looking for ways to reach Chicago’s western suburbs and, from 2013 to 2015, experimented with a week of June concerts on a temporary stage at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle. “Th e community really supported it, both philanthropically and by attendance,” said Alexander. “It was clear that the desire was there to have the Orchestra perform in the commu-nity.” After discussions with Tony Payne, general manager of the Wheaton College Artist Series and the college’s director of special programs, a test concert was scheduled in March 2016 at the Edman Memorial Chapel, featuring the CSO with guest conductor Yuri Temirkanov and pia-nist Denis Matsuev. Th e concert drew more than 1,800 attendees. “Th e reaction was once again wonderful from the community,” said Alexander, “and we decided to move forward by planning a series for the following season.”

Payne believes the CSO concerts ideally com-plement the college’s sixty-seven-year-old Artist Series, as well as its music conservatory. “It’s one of the greatest orchestras in the world,” Payne said of the CSO. “It’s at a level of eminence

that only strengthens the values that we already embrace in regards to great music and great music training here in this conservatory.”

Built in 1960, the neoclassical Edman Memorial Chapel has a stage large enough to seat an orchestra comfortably with ample dress-ing rooms and backstage space. Th e acoustics are also excellent. “When you’re sitting in the audi-ence there, and you hear the Chicago Symphony, it’s a wonderful experience, because the sound comes off the stage and envelops the listener,” Alexander said. A bonus for attendees is plenty of free parking within easy walking distance. “It really is, in many ways, an ideal situation for the residents of DuPage County.”

NEGAUNEE MUSIC INSTITUTE AT THE CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

On a rainy Saturday morning this past October, the Civic Orchestra of Chicago Fellows gath-ered at Wilson Abbey in Uptown to attend a professional development seminar led by

Reginald Harris on a trauma-informed approach to teaching. The well-received session was offered by the People’s Music School with the goal of fostering empathy and understanding between the organization’s teachers and its students. This season, the Civic Orchestra Fellows will teach at the People’s Music School’s programs on the city’s north and south sides. “It made me want to become a social worker,” one fellow reflected. “The idea that it’s important to approach teaching

with a curious mindset was a major takeaway,” commented another.

Over the course of the 2017–18 season, the Civic Fellows will collectively devote over 700 hours to teaching young instrumentalists at the People’s Music School; perform a memorized, interactive educational concert in ten Chicago Public Schools; and work with young musicians from three community youth-orchestra programs through Chicago’s Youth in Music Festival. But their engagement with the city of Chicago is not limited to working with students.

The Civic Fellowship is a group of fourteen Civic Orchestra musicians who participate in an array of experiences designed to build and diversify their creative and professional skills. Fellowship projects—many designed by cur-rent fellows and alumni—bring participants to juvenile prisons, museums, art galleries, park district fieldhouses, and retirement centers around Chicago. Fellows curate and perform chamber music in various ensembles; develop and implement their own creative musical projects in Chicago’s communities; and lead creative projects initiated by the CSO’s Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant, Yo-Yo Ma.

Yo-Yo Ma provided the impetus for the Civic Fellowship. He challenged Civic Orchestra staff to imagine a different way to train classical musicians that fully engaged them in the cultural life of the city in which they live. Now in its fifth season, the Civic Orchestra Fellowship has connected musicians with thousands of students and audience members across Greater Chicago.

Follow the activities of the 2017–18 fellowship at civicfellows.org

What are you most looking forward to performing, and why?Rossini’s Stabat mater is a glorious piece that sings like an opera without the drama but with the same intensity.

Offstage, I like to:I recently began to do CrossFit workouts, and it has benefitted me greatly. The challenge of building a healthier and stronger body each day has also allowed me to meet and con-nect with likeminded people who motivate, encourage, and support me. I am also a huge

sports fan and enjoy reading, cooking, and discovering great bakeries.

Currently, I’m reading:I’m reading a novel by Peter Ackroyd entitled The Trial of Elizabeth Cree, which has been made into an opera by Kevin Puts that premiered at Opera Philadelphia in September 2017. It will have its Midwest premiere in Chicago this winter with Chicago Opera Theater, and I will be a part of the production.

One of my favorite quotes is:“Think positive thoughts and good things will happen.”

Who are your favorite composers, and why? I have three favorites, all of whom are great opera com-posers. The first is Mozart; he really knew how to write for the voice. Singing Mozart requires excellent technique. The next is Rossini, the master of patter, a gift to any singer with a flexible voice. The last is Verdi, who combines traits of Mozart and Rossini with beautiful melodies and extreme drama.

What are you most looking forward to performing, and why?I loved performing Poulenc’s Gloria, as it is one of my favorite pieces. Whether it’s full orchestra, chamber music, or solo repertoire, I adore Poulenc. I first sang Poulenc’s Christmas motets as an undergrad, and I was smitten with the lushness, the delicious dissonance, the atmosphere that is Poulenc. I performed the Banalités on my graduate recital at Northwestern as well.

Was there a specific moment or experience during which you first connected with choral singing?In high school, I auditioned for the Ohio Honors Chorale. We

embarked on a three-week tour of Europe, where we performed and acted as goodwill ambassa-dors. We had the opportunity to sing in some amazingly beautiful and historic places in Europe, most memorably in the cathedral in Cologne and St. Mark’s in Venice—it was heaven.

What is your most mem-orable CSC performance or experience?There have been many—our 1999 tour to Berlin with Maestro Barenboim and most recently the powerful and moving Beethoven’s Ninth performances with Maestro Muti—but perhaps one of the most unforgettable experi-ences was the performance of

Mahler’s Symphony no. 8 at Ravinia in 1992. James Levine was conducting and, as usual, he had assembled an incredible roster of soloists to complement the incredible musicians of the CSO and CSC, one of whom was the up-and-coming Bryn Terfel. What a treat!

The second act opened just as twilight was falling at Ravinia. The ethereal sounds of the strings competed briefly with the calls of animals and insects, but as night fell, all of nature became still and seemed to sub-mit to the beauty of the music. I don’t think a single train horn dared to interrupt the hushed and reverent atmosphere. Call me a hopeless romantic, but it was absolutely magical.

HOMETOWNTel Aviv, Israel

EDUCATIONMannes College of Music

A series of profiles featuring current and past composers-in-residence in honor of twenty seasons of MusicNOW, the CSO’s contemporary music series

Describe your role as composer-in-residence (CIR):More than anything else, I saw my role as CIR as that of advocacy—being an advocate for the music of our time and for composers working here in the United States and all around the world. One of my greatest joys was being able to introduce both Maestro Barenboim and Maestro Boulez to music—especially by American composers—that they were not familiar with and seeing this develop into a either a performance or a commission. The educational possibilities of being a CIR were of critical importance, so this was really a great fulfillment of myself as a composer and as a citizen of the music community.

What impact did your residency have on your work?I certainly feel that I became much more intimately involved with a certain symphonic sound, and that it played in a very significant way into what I was doing during that time. There is no question in my mind that the opportunity to be so closely allied with the Orchestra—to be able not only to go to every concert, but to every rehearsal, hearing all this magnificent music of all periods played so incredibly—was a privilege, joy, and, above all, a great learning experience.

What is the importance of MusicNOW?Because I live here in Chicago, I have seen the MusicNOW series evolve through the various CIRs. The programs are naturally an expression of the CIR’s point of view as each of them is able to bring his or her world into the series. Most importantly, in its broad con-tour, it is a presentation of what is happening in the musical world, so keep at it!

What are you working on now?I am composing an opera, Anne Frank. This is something that is deeply rewarding, moving, and, of course, a major responsibil-ity. I feel a tremendous sense of privilege and awe working with these materials.

HOMETOWNRichmond, Virginia

A series of profiles featuring current and past composers-in-residence in honor of twenty seasons of MusicNOW, the CSO’s contemporary music series

Describe your experience as composer-in-residence (CIR)?I can look back and see that I embraced the symphonic space working with the CSO. I realized that there was a real opportunity, artistically, to explore the sprawling narrative approach of the nineteenth cen-tury with entirely new sounds, whether electronic or acoustic. In the concert hall, you can go to a deep, surprising place.

How did your residency impact your compositions?Maestro Muti and the CSO inspired me to think big. For me that came in the form of my most adventurous work to date.

Writing for Riccardo Muti, who is both a master conductor and a superb musical dramatist, I pushed my music further into the realm of the theatrical. For example, Alternative Energy sweeps through four eras and locations in telling the story of energy, and Anthology of Fantastic Zoology* uses all man-ner of spatial effects to conjure mythological creatures.

How did MusicNOW change while you were CIR?It was like a slow-motion explosion of MusicNOW during my tenure as a CIR. Anna Clyne (also Mead CIR 2010–15) and I had a lot of technical rethinks on the series,

including the use of lighting and projections. Using technol-ogy and stagecraft to transform the program was a key part of engaging the boisterous and wonderful audience.

What is one of the strengths of the MusicNOW series?Chicago has such a great audience with a huge appetite for new music. We saw the crowds coming to hear con-temporary music on a Monday night grow from three or four hundred people to as many as a thousand!

Spotlight on PHILANTHROPY

What inspires your love of music?I started playing the flute when I was in fifth grade and loved it so much, that I played all the way through college. When I play music, the passage of time speeds up. Five hours feels like five minutes and that makes playing a great escape from my daily life.

I still play in the Buffalo Grove Symphonic Band and have played in a lot of different community bands in Florida, Boston, and Hawaii.

How did you first get involved with the Overture Council?I recently stopped traveling for work and was looking for a way to meet new people who had the common interest of the love of classical music. I looked on cso.org, found the Overture Council, and joined!

I really like the Overture Council. The members all have a common interest, and I have made some great friends. There are social events, educational events, and unique oppor-tunities to get a view of the inner workings of the CSO. The calendar includes events on different days of the week, offering everyone a chance to participate.

Tell us about Soundpost and your work as Co-Chair this season. What do you hope to achieve?I became the Soundpost co-chair in July with Elliot Callighan. My work is very enjoyable, because it gives me

the opportunity to help produce something creative and help bring young professionals to the Orchestra. It’s important to bring in a young audience to the Orchestra to get them excited about classical music. I’m nervous about the future of classical music and want to draw young people in to hear the Orchestra and inspire them to love classical music for the rest of their lives.

Are there any particular concerts you are looking forward to this season?I love holiday concerts! I have tickets to Home Alone and Merry, Merry Chicago! I also have tickets to the John Williams program in April and the Yo-Yo Ma concert in June. I’m looking forward to Lincoln Portrait by Copland and several other concerts to be determined.

My favorite composer, however, is a band composer—Percy Grainger. I enjoy how he incorporates common folk tunes into his works.

What is your advice for first-time concertgoers?People think they have to enjoy classical music in a certain way. That is not true! I encour-age people to enjoy it in their own way.

If you want to learn a bit more about the music before you attend a concert, Soundpost is a great way to enjoy the CSO. Soundpost explores the role of classical music in today’s world and includes a pre-concert lecture, light bites, and min-gling with others who share an interest in exploring classical music. The programming ties to the music you’re about to hear so you can walk into the hall with a bit of knowledge and something to consider as you listen to the concert. And it’s a great deal at $35.

Kristin Jaburek has been a member of the CSO Overture Council (OC) since the 2016–17 season and currently serves as the Soundpost Co-Chair with Elliot Callighan. She works in technology consulting, helping retailers to better serve their customers by aligning tech-nology with business strategy. Kristin played the flute throughout university while studying engineer-ing and geography. She also loves to spend as much time as possible each year in Hawaii pursuing her passions for longboard surfing and hiking.

What inspires your love of music?

JARED KAPLAN: My father was a very accomplished pianist who would practice four or five hours a day, even though he was a practicing lawyer; I can’t figure out how he found the time. I was inspired by him and played the piano, but quit when I graduated law school.

MARIDEE QUANBECK: In fact, we’ve been married twenty-seven years, and I haven’t heard him play the piano once. When he says he gave it up, he means it!

When it came to me, I decided not to play piano. I saw my older sister practice, and it seemed like the worst thing in the world. My parents always sang in the church choir, so I grew up with a lot of church music, Bach and Handel, but not a lot of symphonic music. It wasn’t until I met Jerry that I went to my first symphony.

Do you have a first memory of attending the Chicago Symphony Orchestra?

JK: I feel like I’ve attended all my life. When I graduated law school, I started subscribing immediately. My father used to have seats up front on the left side. He’d go whenever there was a piano soloist and follow the score.

MQ: When I met Jerry, he had two subscriptions. We would go all the time.

How did you first get involved as a Governing Member?

JK: One of my former partners, Tom Campbell, was Vice Chair of Nominations and Membership. He asked why I wasn’t a Governing Member (GM). I asked “What’s that?” He explained it to me, and so I joined.

MQ: Once Jerry joined the GMs, it really expanded our contact with the sym-phony. Up until then, I was just an audience member. The last eleven years have been a lot more fulfilling as a patron. We always know people at Symphony Center. It’s expanded my contact with and enthusiasm for the organization.

Tell us about the Patrons Tours you’ve participated in.

JK: We’ve been on three tours. The first one we went on was to New York, followed by a tour to Poland, Switzerland, and Paris, and most recently we went on the tour to the Canary Islands. While the Canary Islands and Paris sound like exotic places, a high point for us was that first performance at Carnegie Hall in New York. Before the Orchestra even began playing, there was a lengthy standing ovation when Maestro Muti took the stage. That’s when we realized what his joining the Orchestra meant to the musicians, and even to that New York audience.

MQ: On tours we have lots of contact with the musicians. They go on sightseeing tours with us and have dinner with us. You see them in different settings. Those were really fun things to do. What makes the tours extra memorable is getting up close and personal with the musicians.

Jared Kaplan and Maridee Quanbeck have been attending the CSO for over forty years as subscribers and are members of the Theodore Thomas Society. Jerry, who has been a Governing Member (GM) for eleven years, currently serves as the GM Chairman. He previously served as Vice Chair of the Nominations and Membership Committee in the 2012–13 & 2013–14 seasons. Recently retired, Jerry and Maridee enjoy traveling, attending the symphony, and catching a play in Chicago or the West End.



21

What inspires you to continue supporting the CSO?

JK: It never occurred to me not to subscribe to the symphony. The eleven years that I’ve been a GM have really given us an added dimension. We’re now interacting with the Orchestra from the inside rather than the outside. It’s a different feeling every time we go to a concert. We really feel like part of the CSO family. It’s a big difference. When we see the musicians onstage, they’re real people we’ve seen at dinners or other events. It gives us a greater depth of appreciation for the symphony.

MQ: As you get more involved, you realize the CSO is a major cultural institution in the city of Chicago. It’s the brightest light that we have in this city for cul-ture. We just have to support it. What would we do without it?

Do you have any advice for those looking to get more involved at the CSO?

JK: Join the GMs and actively participate in the events! GMs get a lot more out of their membership than the donor groups of a lot of other organi-zations. You get great events, VIP ticketing, membership in the Thomas Club, postconcert receptions, patron tours, and interactive intermissions. There’s a lot happening on a constant basis. It’s a terrific value. If you’re willing to par-ticipate, you’ll get a lot out of it.

COMMENTS by Steven Ledbetter Phillip Huscher

Above: Smetana, ca. 1878

Bedřich SmetanaBorn March 2, 1824; Litomyšl, BohemiaDied May 12, 1884; Prague, Bohemia

Music from The Bartered Bride

It was Smetana’s proud claim to have created the Czech style in music at a time when virtually every ethnic enclave of the gigantic Austro-Hungarian Empire was pushing at the seams, trying to create new nations (and the national

cultures that went with them) and to get out from under the hegemony of German culture. Since the musical language of the nineteenth century was above all Germanic in character, having grown out of the tradition of Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Wagner, and Brahms, it was against German traditions that the nationalist composers most strongly rebelled. But in all of the “periph-eral” cultures, the ones newly demanding recognition as having something of their own to offer—whether they were in Bohemia, Hungary, Poland, Denmark, Russia, England, or even America—the composers first had to demonstrate their complete mastery of the German style so as to be taken seriously as musicians. Then, and only then, could they create home-grown native music.

Though Smetana was to become a leading spokesman for Czech nationalism, his first spoken language was German (Czech was the language of peasants, and Smetana’s family was firmly in the middle class). From early on, he had received support from Franz Liszt, who found him a publisher for some early piano pieces. And it was while visiting Liszt that Smetana found his true calling when he heard the conductor Johannes von Herbeck remark that there were many gifted musicians among the Czechs, but no original composers. Smetana determined to make himself an original Czech composer. At that time, he was living abroad, earning his living as a conductor in Sweden, but a visit to Prague reminded him of the strong pull of home. In 1861, he returned there permanently. He loved the city enormously, and, more than a quarter-century later, dedicated Má vlast (My fatherland), the cycle of six tone poems that includes The Moldau, to Prague.

He embarked on the creation of a music for his people, and did so particularly through opera. The medium allowed him the opportunity to pick grand, patriotic, historical themes, as in Libuše or The Brandenburgers in Bohemia, or to find charming and delightful stories of village

life among the peasants, as in his most-famous work, the winning comedy The Bartered Bride.

Strictly speaking, the opera should be called The Sold Bride, a literal translation of its Czech title, Prodaná nevěsta. It tells a simple and amusing tale of a young woman’s love emerging triumphant over the obstacles of circumstance, obstructionist parents, and an energetic marriage broker. The man whom she desires to marry (against the wishes of her parents) craftily assem-bles the townspeople to witness what they think is an act of treachery—he will “sell” his claim to marry his sweetheart for the substantial sum of 300 gulden, but on one condition: that she marry only the son of a particular wealthy farmer. Since this very farmer is trying to get the girl engaged to his simple-minded offspring, no one objects to the stipulation. Only at the end of the opera does everyone learn that the true lover is also a son of that farmer, from an earlier marriage, who had left home years before and not been heard of since. His cleverness wins him both the money and the girl.

The Bartered Bride was Smetana’s second opera, and his first comedy. He elaborated it over a period of years, starting with a piece that we might consider “musical theater” (songs and dances separated by spoken dialogue) between 1863 and 1866, and finally turning it into a

through-composed opera by 1870. So eager was he to write a comic opera after the grand historic epic of his first theater work, The Brandenburgers in Bohemia, that he completed the overture before he had even received the libretto from the poet. Most of the music of the overture never appears in the opera, though Smetana did work some of it into the second act finale. The Bartered Bride remains the one nineteenth-century Czech opera that is performed with any frequency outside its homeland. Smetana’s overture sets the mood of the evening with brilliant effervescence.

T he opera is filled with strains of folk song and characteristic Czech dance forms. Act 2 opens in the tavern with a rousing

chorus in praise of beer, after which the revelers engage in perhaps the most typical of Czech dances, the furiant, in a fast triple time that plays on the opposition of the written 3/4 time with two-measure groups that sound like 3/2. And in the third and last act, a lively dance type called the skočná, filled with rhythmic verve and high spirits, accompanies the presentation put on by a visiting troupe of comedians trying to attract an audience to their show.

Samuel BarberBorn March 9, 1910; West Chester, PennsylvaniaDied January 23, 1981; New York City

Cello Concerto, Op. 22

Raya Garbousova was a remarkable Russian cellist who made her American debut in 1935. Her career was strongly supported by her compatriot Serge Koussevitzky, who invited her to play almost annually with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

And it was Koussevitzky who suggested that, since the modern world contained no more

great princes like the Esterhazys and the Razumovskys who had commissioned works from Haydn and Beethoven, it behooved the performers themselves to call new works into being. One of the cellist’s most devoted supporters was the Providence philanthropist John Nicholas Brown (who was also the first non-Bostonian to become a trustee of the Boston Symphony); Brown had given Garbousova a famous Stradivarius cello, and it was he who paid the commissioning fee for Barber’s Cello Concerto.

29

In January 1945, Samuel Barber was—like many American composers at the time—in uniform, though he had been able to spend some of his time as a corporal composing his Second Symphony, a musical tribute to the United States Army Air Corps; Koussevitzky premiered the work with the Boston Symphony in March 1944, and a radio broadcast of that performance was carried to American soldiers worldwide. A letter that Koussevitzky wrote to Barber’s commanding officer following the premiere urged that his talents be put to good use:

Samuel Barber is now, without exaggeration, the most outstanding and exceptionally endowed composer in this country. Only a man of genius could have so brilliantly fulfilled his task, stirring the soul of thou-sands of listeners, bringing close to reality the mission of our hero flyers.

This is the reason why I take the liberty of appealing to you to protect this young talent for the sake of American musical art and afford Samuel Barber a further opportunity of developing and creating, which is essen-tial for the cultural welfare of the nation. Believe me.

This letter may well have influenced the army’s decision to assign Barber to the Office of War Information in New York, where he had time to compose, though he was also kept busy with arrangements for recording sessions for music to be broadcast to the troops overseas. It was some-time in the last months of the war that Barber accepted Koussevitzky’s invitation to write a cello concerto for Garbousova. By January 1945, he had already discussed the technical possibilities of the work with the soloist and listened to

her play through her repertory in order to gain an impression of what kind of musician she was and what her particular strengths might be. (He was later to do the same thing with Vladimir Horowitz and John Browning before he wrote the Piano Sonata and the Piano Concerto, respectively.) Garbousova was particularly noted for her abilities in the higher registers—less frequently called for in most cello music, and the most difficult to tune properly. It was clear from the concertos and virtuosic showpieces that she played for Barber that he need not consider any limitations of technique in composing his score. Indeed, the Cello Concerto is regarded as one of the most demanding of all works written for that instrument.

During the late spring, while most of the world was focusing on what finally proved to be the closing months of the war in Europe, Barber was trying, with some difficulty, to make progress on his concerto. Garbousova was staying with a friend not far from Barber’s home, Capricorn, in Mount Kisco, New York, and he consulted her whenever he had finished a bit more of the piece. His taking a good deal of her advice about the effectiveness and playability of the solo part meant that the finished score was, in the words of fellow com-poser Ross Lee Finney, “written with complete understanding and sympathy for the technique of the instrument.”

By the end of July, Barber had finished two movements. He asked Koussevitzky to write once again on his behalf to the army, because without special dispensation, he would still have owed the army two more years of service after the war, and he naturally enough felt that this could only be an impediment on his career as a composer. Koussevitzky complied again, and Barber wrote happily on September 28 that he had just become a civilian again, adding the further happy news that the concerto was finished but for the orchestration. This he accomplished by the end of November. Barber and Garbousova played through the piece for John Nicholas Brown and his wife in January, and again a few weeks later for Koussevitzky at the Savoy Plaza Hotel when he visited New York with the orchestra.

Following these informal readings, the cellist asked Frederic Waldman to rehearse with her in order to assure herself that she had both the solo part and the accompaniment fully in her mind before rehearsals started in Boston. (In 1966 Waldman was the conductor, with his Musica Aeterna orchestra, in Garbousova’s only record-ing of the work that she inspired.)

The premiere on April 5, 1946, was given a lukewarm reception in Boston and a much warmer one—particularly from Virgil Thomson—in New York. Thomson found it “full of ingenious orchestral devices” that supported the cello without drowning it, and noted that its tunes were worked up “into a richly romantic, well-sustained structure . . . not without a certain Brahms-like grandeur.” But eighteen months after the premiere, at a repetition of the work in New York, Olin Downes, who had praised it on first hearing, had second thoughts: the concerto, he said, “felt overlong for its contents.” Barber was always strongly sensitive to criticism, though he felt that the main problem had been the slower tempos taken by Mitropoulos with the New York Philharmonic. But now he felt uncertain about the balance between the solo instrument and the orchestra. In 1947, he revised the concerto, mostly by reducing the scoring of the orchestra, though also telescoping some of the work to give it a clearer shape. This revision became the definitive version.

For some years, the concerto was not per-formed as often as Barber’s earlier Violin Concerto or his later Piano Concerto. No doubt

its fearsome technical challenges scared off some soloists even as they attracted a few others. And Barber’s music in general suffered a temporary eclipse during the composer’s last years and the first years after his death. This seems to be chang-ing now. If there is a “standard” violin concerto by an American, it is certainly Barber’s. There is hardly an American violinist who does not have it in his or her repertory, and many of them have recorded it. And in recent years, the Cello Concerto has also attracted the attention of many of the leading proponents of the instrument, both in live performance and on recording; it is begin-ning to establish itself as an American classic.

I n its character and overall structure, the concerto is traditional and immediately comprehensible. The opening Allegro

begins with a full-scale orchestral ritornello that exposes the main thematic material in the woodwinds after a brief call to order from the full orchestra. The first thematic idea is songful in a lightly syncopated character, and this touch of syncopation gives it a flavor of the “American” sound that so many composers had chosen to employ in the preceding decade, though Barber uses it discreetly and without ever attempting to ram it down our throats. A connecting figure, first heard in the bassoon, will play an important role in the cello’s cadenzas. The violins sing an expressive melody as the second theme, and the call-to-order figure leads the way for the first appearance of the soloist. This is a musing passage, a kind of quiet cadenza that finally turns into the soloist’s own version of the main theme. The solo exposition is more expansive than the orchestral statement had been, and once again a cadenza-like passage links its conclusion with the beginning of the development. Here all of the materials mingle and appear, forceful and lyrical by turns, ending in a very difficult solo cadenza that brings in the recapitulation.

The pensive Andante sostenuto grows out of an imitative dialogue between the cello and the orchestra (especially the oboe) in a melody based on a gently rocking figure. The upper strings enter to utter a sustained descending line against the rocking figure; it will return at the climax of the movement, just before the music sings itself to sleep.

31

The final movement is a kind of free rondo, with the interpolation of two dark march-like passages in C minor. Though there is nothing in the score or Barber’s papers to explain these dark passages, the wife of John Nicholas Brown wrote to Barber’s biographer Barbara B. Heyman to explain that the composer had told them that he had jettisoned his original last movement on the day that the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. If so, this would help explain some of the emotional darkness of a movement that is (in most concertos) relatively lively and light-hearted. (Barber, typically, refused to offer any discussion of the musical structure or character, either at the time of the first performances or the first recording.) The main thematic material,

stated by the cello after a rather violent and chromatic orchestral summons, consists of two elements: a descending semitone figure (repeated often) and a seventh chord presented in arpeg-giated form. This is extensively elaborated before a general pause brings in the first of the darker passages. The central section of the movement is livelier, even joking in spots (Barber marks it “scherzando”), but an energetic climax collapses again to the somber march. The soloist leads the way out of this with a cadenza that turns into a lively 6/8 passage to return to a playful character for the close.

Antonín DvořákBorn September 8, 1841; Mühlhausen, Bohemia (now Nelahozeves, Czech Republic)Died May 1, 1904; Prague, Bohemia

Symphony No. 5 in F Major, Op. 76

To the late nineteenth century, Dvořák was the composer of five—not nine—symphonies. His first four, never published during his lifetime, were unknown, and so his last, From the New World, spent its first half century as no. 5. The F major

symphony performed at these concerts is really Dvorák’s fifth, although it took some time to get this all straightened out. Like his nineteenth- century colleagues Schubert and Bruckner, Dvořák has been good to musicologists, who sometimes make a living cleaning up after the

fact. Only with the publication of Dvořák’s first four symphonies in the 1950s (the long-lost First Symphony was rediscovered after the composer’s death and performed for the first time in 1936) did we begin to use the current numbering.

This F major symphony is Dvořák’s most significant product of 1875, a result of the encouragement he felt after winning the Austrian State Stipendium—along with power-ful endorsements and four hundred gulden—for the first time, and the most promising sign that the judges had picked extremely well. The prize launched one of the most prolific years of Dvořák’s career, and in addition to this sym-phony, composed in just six weeks during the summer, he also wrote his five-act grand opera

32

Vanda in three months and turned out several substantial chamber pieces as well. But the symphony is the giant leap—a great advance over anything he had written before. It’s easy now to see it as a score of extraordinary promise, because we know the brilliant Seventh Symphony, for example, or the timeless From the New World that followed, but the Fifth Symphony is itself a very impressive accomplishment.

We tend to think of Brahms and Dvořák as contemporary symphonists—their most famous symphonies were all premiered within the span of some fifteen years—who influenced each other in various ways. (When Dvořák began his Seventh, for example, he was still under the spell of Brahms’s new Third, which he had just heard.) But Dvořák composed this F major symphony a year before Brahms finished his first, and so this is his answer to the classics by Beethoven, Schubert, and Schumann that he knew, not a reaction to Brahms. (In fact, if either composer had an influence on the other at this point, it’s the other way around: Brahms got to know at least three of Dvořák’s symphonies while he was still writing his first.) Dvořák’s F major symphony sings with his own unmistakable voice; it’s free of the heavy Wagnerian fog that clouds some of his early works and has a natural warmth and simplicity that often eluded Brahms. Still, Dvořák couldn’t escape the inevitable comparison to Brahms: when he dedicated this symphony to Hans von Bülow, the great conductor said he was thrilled to accept this honor from Dvořák, “next to Brahms, the most gifted composer of today.”

This symphony is the first important work of Dvořák’s maturity, and Simrock insisted (against Dvořák’s wishes) on publishing it with a phony, high opus number to give it the stature of an even later composition. (Simrock picked op. 76, which puts it in the company of pieces composed a full decade later, even though Dvořák had appropri-ately written op. 24 at the top of his manuscript.) For a work saddled with such a convoluted numbering history, the music itself is a marvel of

natural, unfussy expression and clarity of form. The entire symphony reveals remarkable assur-ance and control, suggesting that the speed of its composition was the result of certainty, not haste.

T he opening Allegro ma non troppo is filled with genial, outdoorsy music—clarinet bird calls and hunting horns

paint an inviting pastoral scene in high summer. The movement is vigorous and muscular until the very end, when Dvořák opts for quiet content-ment over visceral excitement.

The melancholy Andante—an intermezzo in a moderate tempo rather than a self-important slow movement—suggests the dumka, the mournful peasant dance that Dvořák loved. The

scherzo, which follows immediately after only a moment’s hesitation, takes its time shaking the spell of the Andante before it breaks into a jovial, rustic dance. (The way Dvořák blurs the distinction between the two inner movements is novel and highly effective.)

The finale shatters the symphony’s pastoral mood with its powerful opening in A minor—an

unexpectedly foreign key in an F major work. Dvořák shrewdly withholds F major for a very long time, which only adds to the suspense and drama. This entire movement, with its driving rhythms, big themes, and heated development, confirms Dvořák’s stature as a natural symphony composer. Both the brief, unannounced return of the opening material of the first movement, pia-nissimo, and the triumphant recovery of F major, celebrated with pealing trumpets, only add to its continuous sense of excitement and discovery.

In performances marked by intensity, sensitivity, and a wholehearted immersion in each of the works she interprets, Alisa Weilerstein has long proven herself to be in possession of a

distinctive musical voice.In the 2017–18 season, Weilerstein performs

Schumann’s Cello Concerto with the Pittsburgh Symphony under Manfred Honeck and the Philadelphia Orchestra led by Christoph Eschenbach; Barber’s Cello Concerto with the Cleveland Orchestra under Alan Gilbert; and Tchaikovsky’s Variations on a Rococo Theme with Jeffrey Kahane leading the New York Philharmonic. She also plays a series of recitals on tour with her regular partner, Israeli pianist Inon Barnatan, beginning at Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center and Carnegie Hall in New York. Other concerto appearances include Shostakovich with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin and James Conlon; Prokofiev with the Dallas Symphony under Jaap van Zweden; tours of the United Kingdom with the Czech Philharmonic and Tomáš Netopil in music by Shostakovich and Dvořák; and performances of Lutosławski’s Cello Concerto with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and Krzysztof Urbański.

In recent years, Weilerstein has recorded the concertos of Elgar and Elliott Carter with Daniel Barenboim and the Staatskapelle Berlin. The disc was named Recording of the Year 2013 by BBC Music Magazine, which featured the cellist on the cover of its May 2014 issue. Her release of Dvořák’s Cello Concerto with the Czech Philharmonic topped the U.S. classical charts. Her critically praised third album, Solo, is a compilation of unaccompanied twentieth-century music, whose centerpiece is

Kodály’s Cello Sonata, a signature work that Weilerstein revisited on the soundtrack to If I Stay, a 2014 film starring Chloë Grace Moretz, in which she makes a cameo appearance. In 2015, she released a recording of sonatas by Chopin and Rachmaninov with Barnatan, mark-ing her duo-album debut. In 2016, Weilerstein released an album of Shostakovich’s cello concertos with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra under Pablo Heras-Casado.

Weilerstein’s career milestones include an account of Elgar’s Cello Concerto with the Berlin Philharmonic and Barenboim in Oxford, England, and a performance at the White House for President and Mrs. Obama. An ardent cham-pion of new music, she has worked on multiple projects with Osvaldo Golijov and Matthias Pintscher and premiered works by Lera Auerbach and Joseph Hallman.

Now celebrating its 127th 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. He 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 performance 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 interna-tional 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 position he held until his death in January 2016. Only two others have served as principal guest conductors: 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 partners with Muti, staff, and musicians to provide program development for the Negaunee Music Institute at the CSO.

Mead Composers-in-Residence Samuel Adams and Elizabeth Ogonek were appointed by Riccardo Muti and began their three-year terms in the fall of 2015. In addition to composing, they curate the contemporary MusicNOW series.

Since 1916, recording has been a significant part of the Orchestra’s activities. Current releases on CSO Resound, the Orchestra’s indepen-dent 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.
