We are in the middle of a veryexciting season.It has been so rewarding to see so manypeople enjoying music in Saskatoon – thefirst half of the season proved that theorchestra is a vital part of what makes it agreat place to live!

I’m proud to say that over the course of thelast 12 months, we’ve made majorachievements in terms of how theorganization operates. We’re on budget,growing our revenue, on target for asurplus, and making some really greatmusic.

We wouldn’t be experiencing thisremarkable a year if it weren’t for theincredible support from our audience. Aswe turn our focus to the future, I hopeyou’ll join us as we embark on the nextphase of our success.

I want to invite each of you to be a part ofour Share in the Future campaign – theconcept is simple: find 2000 donors to give$100 to the SSO before May 31. In additionto your receipt, you’ll join us this fall for agala concert with a very special surpriseguest…the only way to get in is to be oneof the 2000. We want a chance to musicallysay thank you.

Thanks to the great generosity of the Frankand Ellen Remai Foundation, the moneyraised from the Share in the Futurecampaign will be matched – all 2000 giftsmatched, completely retiring the deficitand allowing the SSO to focus on thefuture.

SSO Shoots and ScoresTAKING THE ORCHESTRA TO CENTRE ICE!Did you read The Hockey Sweater as a kid?Did you read it to your kids or grandkids?Remember the movie version that was onCBC? Well, now it comes to your orchestra.

In the 30th anniversary year of RochCarrier, the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestrais proud to partner with the SaskatoonBlades and SaskTel Centre in an event thatcombines sport, music, childhoodmemories and new ones about to bemade.

A few years ago, the National Arts CentreOrchestra commissioned a composer toput the famous children’s book that followsa hockey-loving boy through thedisappointment of getting the gift of thewrong jersey to music.

Imagine the SSO at centre ice – stand forthe anthem, throw the iconic images ontothe score clock, and live out Canada’sgreatest hockey tale. The story comes tolife with Mayor Don Atchison (a formerBlade himself!) as our narrator…and when

it’s all done, the kids will hit the lockerroom, play mini-sticks on the concourse,and take to the ice to skate with the Blades.

“This is one of the most unique eventswe’ve ever done,” said Steve Hogle,president of the Saskatoon Blades Hockeyteam. “When the opportunity came alongto partner sports with music in such a greatway, we just had to make this one of themost unique things you can take your kidsto.”

The SSO will be the first orchestra to performthis concert in a rink—and definitely thefirst to do it on ice.

“In a season where the SSO is finding outwhat it means to be an orchestra on theprairies, it goes without saying thatsomehow there needed to be a rinkinvolved; I think this is one of the best kids’concerts in Canada this year. Nothing elselike it,” said Mark Turner, SSO.

The game takes place on March 15 atSaskTel Centre – don’t miss the puck drop!

Nathan Berg – A Hero’s HomecomingWhen the SSO set out to explore what itmeans to be an orchestra on the Canadianprairies, it was clear that it was high timethe orchestra started asking some exceptional artists to come home.

And the most exciting artist of the seasonis Nathan Berg.

Berg was born in Spalding, Saskatchewanand attended high school at Luther BibleCollege in Outlook. But the rest, as the saying goes, is history.

Nathan attended musical studies at somevery prestigious schools; the most notableis the Guildhall School of Music in London,England. While at Guildhall he gainedrecognition winning the Kathleen FerrierCompetition, the Peter Pears Competition,and Guildhall’s Gold Medal.

The English journalist Bernard Levin oncewrote of the young Nathan Berg in TheTimes: “A Canadian baritone, Nathan Berg byname, with a voice not only powerful and fullof meaning, but of such velvet beauty thatthe comparison cannot be avoided: surelythe young Fischer-Dieskau sounded like this.”

Since his debut singing Messiah in Paris inDecember 1992, Berg has become knownfor his contributions in Early to Classical

music periods in opera and concert.Highlights from his earlier career includeperformances and recordings with Frenchearly music group Les Arts Florissants withwhom he recorded often. He also recordedDvorak’s Stabat Mater with the late RobertShaw and the Atlanta Symphony whichproved to be Shaw’s final recording and aGerman Lieder disc with pianist JuliusDrake.

Berg is an established recording artist withover 30 CD and DVD recordings to hisname – he is a JUNO Award winner andGrammy nominee. And in the two decadesthat his career has spanned he’s workedwith every important opera company andorchestra, and with the likes of Abbado,Ashkenazy, Boulez, Davis, Dohnanyi,Dutoit, Eschenbach, Mackerras, Masur,Maazel, Norrington, Ozawa, Salonen, and arecent recording of Beethoven Symphony9 with the San Francisco Orchestra andMichael Tilson-Thomas.

His achievements are exceptional. He is indemand around the globe for hisperformances ranging from the Baroque toWagner. And his SSO performance inMarch marks the first time that he hasperformed with our orchestra. This is a bigmoment for music here: it’s time tocelebrate a hero!

Saskatoon audiences have been veryprivileged. For 30 seasons, Michael Swanhas sat to the left of every conductor thathas taken the podium in Saskatoon. ButMichael’s contribution to the city’s musicallife has been so much more than simplysitting to the left of the conductor.

He began violin studies at age 5 withDorothy Overholt, and also studied withNorma Lee Bisha, Mark Reedman andRobert Klose as he was growing up. In1979, he was awarded the Gold Medal forthe highest standing in Canada for RoyalConservatory of Toronto ARCT violinexaminations.

Michael studied with Yuri Mazurkevich inthe Faculty of Music at the University ofWestern Ontario, receiving the Hideo SaitoAward for academic achievement in 1981and 1982. Afterwards, he studied at theCurtis Institute of Music in Philadelphiawith Aaron Rosand, receiving a Bachelor ofMusic degree in 1984.

Since September 1984, Michael has beenconcertmaster of the Saskatoon SymphonyOrchestra and a member of the SaskatoonSymphony Chamber Players. He has been asoloist with the orchestra a number oftimes in the Master Series and with theChamber Orchestra.

He performs solo recitals regularly, and hasseveral compositions to his credit. He hasbeen featured on CBC radio as a soloviolinist and as a composer.

Michael has been heard on the SSO stageas a composer – and music lovers in thecity have reveled in his solo concerts wherehe showcases his ability to play baroque tomodern repertoire.

Michael, for you years of dedication andmusic making, your orchestra andaudience salutes you!

the first time ever i experienced the gloriousspectacle of the aurora Borealis was a fewshort years ago when i arrived in Edmonton.Up until that moment i had to settle fortextbook explanations and a geographyteacher’s descriptions.

i had no idea what i was seeing when i firstnoticed the majestic curtains of swirlinggreen light in the sky one crisp octoberevening until a friend confirmed that it wasindeed the northern lights. i was completelycaptivated and awestruck by the magicalsight of dancing light; how could i not beinspired to compose a piece of music?!having recently completed two seriouscompositions, it was the right time to revisit astyle for unabashed lyrical melodies andjoyous bright orchestral colours that Borealiswould require.

the composition is written in twomovements. the first movement is meant tobe awe-invoking and attempts to capture theethereal atmosphere of the lights of thenorthern skies; wide streams of bending,curving light that abruptly disappear andreappear. the ephemeral nature of thesecelestial happenings is represented by thesudden colourful outbursts followed bymovements of near silence. the movementbegins with the strings playing a major chordand then gradually glissing (bending thepitch) until they all arrive at a different chord;for me, this musical gesture captures theessence of bending curtains of light andserves as a recurring motive throughout thismovement. a solo flute introduces fragmentsof a melody; this melody is not heard in itsentirety until later in the piece when it isperformed by a solo bassoon and then anEnglish horn. the strings perform the melody

and the composition swells to its climaxfeaturing the brass and the sound splashesprovided by the percussion. the movementconcludes with a unique auditory effect inthe percussion section that again attempts toconvey the enchanting and magical quality ofthe borealis.

For the second movement, i wantedsomething that would be a formidablecontrast to the subtle nature of the firstmovement, a celebrated dance of celestiallight. the music for scherzo (meaning“playful”) has more of a fervent and animatedenergy to it being inspired by the notion ofdancing celestial lights (title changed toWondrous light, 2004). this movement isperhaps less of a literal musical representationof the borealis and is, instead, inspired bytheir energy and the speed at which thelights seem to zip through the evening skies.a nimble melody introduced by the oboe isdeveloped intervallically and rhythmicallythroughout the composition. sudden swellsin volume accompanied by quick glissandoswere inspired by the swirling curtains ofgreen light which twist and turn and vanishsuddenly in the night sky. towards theconclusion of this movement the nimbletheme is transformed into a noble melodyperformed as a traditional chorale by thetrombones, and then repeated by the fullorchestra. the conclusion of this pieceattempts to capture the majesty of theborealis — they have graced our northernskies since time began and will continue todance evermore.

tchaikovsky composed the concerto in 1878,while visiting clarens, switzerland.Dissatisfied with the original slow movement,he replaced it with the one known today. hesent the concerto to leopold auer, thedistinguished hungarian soloist. to his horror,auer declined to perform it, citing technicaland artistic shortcomings. crushed,tchaikovsky shelved it.

some time later, German soloist adolfBrodsky expressed an interest, then spent thebetter part of two years preparing to give thepremiere. that took place at a concert by thevienna Philharmonic, hans richterconducting, on December 4, 1881. theaudience loved Brodsky’s playing, but theyhissed the piece. the press, led by the archconservative critic Eduard hanslick, heapedabuse upon it, too.

Despite this initial hostility, the concerto lostlittle time in establishing itself as a concertfavourite. Brodsky’s continuing advocacy hadmuch to do with this. in gratitude,tchaikovsky changed his original dedicationplan, switching it from auer to Brodsky. auerlater changed his view. he became one of itsmost persuasive champions and made surethat his many pupils, including Jascha heifetz,performed it as well.

it is considerably less dramatic and morelightly scored than tchaikovsky’s onlyprevious concerto, the First for piano (1875).in breadth of conception and richness ofcontents, the opening movement is virtuallya complete concerto in itself. since bothprincipal themes are lyrical, tchaikovskyachieves the necessary contrast byalternating lightly scored passages for violinand orchestra, with more forceful sectionsscored for orchestra alone.

Woodwinds introduce the wistful, elegantsecond movement. the soloist uses a mute,giving the instrument a veiled, restrainedsound most appropriate to the music. thevivacious, folk-flavoured dance rhythms ofthe finale burst in abruptly. two warmcontrasting ideas are subjected to elaboratepresentation. the solo violin then leads off anexhilarating chase which brings the concertoto a dashing close.

Dedicated to Baron axel carpelan

in 1900, Baron axel carpelan wrote to sibeliusand, citing italy’s positive effects ontchaikovsky and strauss, recommended thatsibelius travel there. Depressed by the deathof his youngest daughter, sibelius was helpedimmensely by his italian journey.

During his stay in rapallo from February toMay 1901, he was able to sketch what wouldbecome the second of his seven symphonies.originally conceived as a four-movementorchestral fantasy, symphony #2 wasassigned a program by sibelius’s friend,conductor robert kajanus. sibelius rejectedany specific nationalistic or patriotic programassigned to his symphony #2, although theFinnish character of the work isunquestionable.

an ardent Finnish nationalist, sibelius was avery individual composer. although he livedwell into the twentieth century, his music isnot like that of Bartok or hindemith; sibeliuswas a romanticist who composed in a latenineteenth-century style.

however, following a concert of his music inGermany, sibelius became an internationalfigure and began to respond to currents incontemporary music. the five symphoniesafter symphony #2 are marked by thinnerorchestration and increased use ofdissonance. however, despite his symphonicmasterworks, sibelius did not and could not

speak the language of musical modernism.he published no music during the last 30years of his life and none survives thatperiod.his musical aesthetic favours thesense-impressions of symbolism andintegration of thematic material, rather thantending to modernist abstraction. thesymbolist idea of tone-painting –representing the physical world in music – isapparently one that appealed to sibelius. insymphony #2, fjords, icy lakes, and cold windare images that the listener can’t helpexperiencing. kalevala, a Finnish folk-epic,had attracted sibelius from his youthonwards. his translation of the kalevala intomusic via tone-painting is, more than overtnationalism, what gives symphony #2 itssense of local flavour. it accounts for themystical and organic character of the music.

Premiered March 8, 1902, the symphony wasan instant success. By 1940, sibelius’s musicwas all the rage in america. By the time of hisdeath in 1957, his music had all butdisappeared. it was “rediscovered” in the1970s and has remained in the repertoireuntil the present day.

Marc Bouchkov violinMarc Bouchkov’s artistry is driven byexpression. his violin playing is grounded notonly in a thorough knowledge of the score,the historical content and the authenticity ofthe interpretation, but also in his belief thatperformance is a way to communicatedirectly with his listeners. the closeness of theviolin’s sound to the human voice is hisinspiration for expressing feelings andemotions in music, turning these into amusical experience for the audience.

Marc Bouchkov was born 1991 into a family ofmusicians. he received his first lessons at theage of five from his grandfather, Mattisvaitsner. his first public appearance was justone year later. in 2001, he joined claireBernard’s studio at the lyon conservatoirenational supérieur de Musique; he transferredto the Paris conservatoire national supérieurde Musique (cnsM) in 2007. there, he beganstudies with Boris Garlitzky, who has been hismentor ever since, and offers him invaluableguidance for honing his craft. the followingyears saw participation in master classes and

invitations to festivals in Moulin d‘ande, troyes, and Bordeaux (France), viterbo (italy) and newhampshire (Usa).

Marc Bouchkov’s artistic development has been marked by numerous international prizes andawards. he won First Prize at the highly-regarded “international violin contest henri koch,” aswell as at the “2010 European young concert artists audition” in leipzig. that same year, hereceived the First Prize for violin with special Distinction from the Jury at the cnsM Paris; theprestigious Ebel Prize followed in 2011. in 2012, he was a finalist and award-winner at the 2012“Queen Elizabeth competition” in Brussels. in 2013, he won First Prize at the “Montrealinternational Musical competition,” and was named an award-winner of the stiftung Juventusby Georges Gara.

as a concert artist, Marc Bouchkov has enjoyed a rapidly growing career. alongside numerousrecitals in hamburg, at the Montpellier Festival, at the théâtre de la ville de Paris, at theinternational Musical olympus Festival in st. Petersburg and in Montreal, his collaborationswith orchestras such as the Belgian national orchestra, the royal Philharmonic orchestra ofliège, the Filharmonia lodz, the Moscow Philharmonic orchestra and the staatsorchesterrheinische Philharmonie are becoming ever more extensive.

in the 2014/15 season, he will make his debut with the nDr-sinfonieorchester in hamburg. aperformance of Brahms’ violin concerto with the Düsseldorfer symphoniker as part of a balletproduction of the Deutsche oper am rhein, with choreography by Mats Ek, will be anotherhighlight of the season.

Marc Bouchkov is sponsored by Brigitte Feldtmann, who has provided him with a violin byJean Baptiste vuillaume, Paris, 1865.
