LETTER FROM THE CHAIR AND THE PRESIDENT
Dear Friends,
Welcome to Symphony Center, home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Chorus, Symphony Center Presents, the Negaunee Music Institute, and the Civic Orchestra of Chicago.
In late January, Riccardo Muti and the CSOA announce the exciting 2018–19 season of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Symphony Center Presents. If you are a subscriber, you will receive a season catalog in the mail and be the first to have the opportunity to sign up for the concerts of your choice. If you are not yet a subscriber, we encourage you to become one to enjoy the many benefits associ-ated with this membership.
The CSO has many exciting activities lined up for the balance of the current season, including the Orchestra’s second domestic tour, with eight concerts taking place at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.; Carnegie Hall in New York City; West Palm Beach and Naples, Florida; and Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
We are pleased to bring on this tour two new works commissioned by the CSO: Jennifer Higdon’s Low Brass Concerto, receiving its world premiere at Symphony Center (February 1–3) and featuring the renowned CSO brass; and CSO Mead Composer-in-Residence Samuel Adams’s many words of love, which was premiered by Maestro Muti and the CSO last spring. Additional repertoire on the tour will include Verdi’s Overture to I vespri siciliani, Brahms’s Symphony no. 2, Stravinsky’s Scherzo fantastique, Britten’s Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes, Chausson’s Poème de l ’amour et de la mer with mezzo-soprano Clémentine Margaine, and Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto performed by CSO Principal Clarinet Stephen Williamson.
On the Orchestra’s return to Chicago, we welcome back Christoph Eschenbach and Herbert Blomstedt, two distinguished conductors who have had long associations with the CSO. Soloist David Fray joins Eschenbach for Chopin’s Second Piano Concerto. We are also excited to mount our annual Crain-Maling Foundation CSO Young Artists Competition, with finals taking place in an admission-free concert with the Civic Orchestra of Chicago on March 3.
Thank you for being with us today, and please enjoy the perfor-mance. We look forward to enjoying many concerts with you in 2018 and in the years ahead.

Pulitzer Prize–winning composer Jennifer Higdon knows what audiences expect when trombones and tubas take the spotlight during an orchestral performance. Sound loud enough to raise the rafters. Heroic swagger and glittering declamation. Solemn nobility, perhaps, with a hint of impending doom. Or maybe some faintly comic lumbering.
Some of those qualities may pop up in the world premiere of Higdon’s Low Brass Concerto, a Chicago Symphony Orchestra commission to be conducted by Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti on February 1–3 (and to be performed on the CSO’s upcoming East Coast tour). But the American composer, whose extensive catalog includes several concertos for a wide range of solo instruments, was after something different in her commission for a concerto featuring two tenor trombones, bass trombone, and tuba.
In October 2016, Higdon flew to Chicago, from her home in Philadelphia, to meet with the CSO’s low brass section: Jay Friedman, principal trombone; Michael Mulcahy, trombone; Charles Vernon, bass trombone; and Gene Pokorny, principal tuba. “They’re great guys; they were a lot of fun to talk to,” she said. “We sat down and really discussed, believe it or not, what they would like in a concerto. Because when you’re writing a piece for some-one, you can tailor it for that player. They had a list of things. They gave me a DVD of recitals they had done, which helped a lot.”
Higdon also heard the CSO in Mussorgsky’s Pictures from an Exhibition, a work that prominently features the Orchestra’s brass section. “This was amazing, a complete coincidence,” she said. “It was a great way to really hear the brass.”
A few weeks later, she held a similar meeting with the low brass players of the Philadelphia Orchestra, which co-commissioned the concerto. According to Higdon, players at both orchestras asked her for the same unusual element.
“They said, ‘We can play beautifully. We can play softly.’ They wanted some lyrical material,” she said.

WORLD PREMIERE OF A LOW BRASS CONCERTO interview with Wynne Delacoma
THEY WANTED THE AUDIENCE TO HEAR THE BEAUTY OF WHAT THEY CAN DO.

They wanted the audience to hear the beauty of what they can do. They also said, “We want music that has serious depth, that isn’t just dancing hippo or dancing elephant music,” which is the kind of music people expect them to play. So I thought about the beauty of the instruments, and I also thought about the power of the instruments. I tried to build on just those two concepts.
Higdon also dispensed with mutes, those devices that brass players stuff into the bells of their instruments to create a thinner, buzzier sound. “I didn’t use mutes at all,” she said. “I thought, ‘Let’s just write music for the sake of music.’ ”
The concerto opens with the brass quartet in a slow, quiet passage unaccompanied by the orchestra. Approximately seventeen minutes long, with no breaks between the slow and fast movements, the piece also includes duets and trios for the featured low brass. “I tried to do a mix of everyone playing together,” said Higdon, “duets, and then solos for each of the players.”
The Low Brass Concerto marks Higdon’s downtown CSO debut. During the Ravinia Festival’s 2004 season, the Orchestra performed her short, rambunctious Loco, one of several train-inspired works commissioned for the park’s 100th anniversary. In 2009, also at Ravinia, the CSO performed her Concerto 4-3, a piece with a tinge of bluegrass that also featured several soloists, in this case, three string players: two violins and bass. Christoph Eschenbach conducted both performances.
B orn in Brooklyn, but reared in Atlanta and Tennessee, Higdon, fifty-five, speaks with a lingering
southern lilt. Friendly and approach-able, she nonetheless has forged her own path from an early age. Her father was a freelance visual artist, and she describes her parents as “hippies” who exposed her and her brother to Atlanta’s cutting-edge cinema, art, and theater scenes. Classical music wasn’t high on the family’s agenda; she wrote short stories and
made 8mm films as a youngster. But somehow Higdon became enamored of the flute. She taught herself how to play and won the prized spot as principal flute in the marching band of Heritage High School, Maryville, Tennessee.
“I loved marching band so much, I just loved playing,” she said. “I started out in flute perfor-mance, but my flute teacher got me started on composing: I must have said something about that at some point.”
Higdon did her undergraduate work at Bowling Green University in Ohio and earned master’s and doctoral degrees at the University of Pennsylvania. She also earned an artist’s certifi-cate in composition from the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, where she currently holds a chair in composition.
I THOUGHT ABOUT THE BEAUTY OF THE INSTRUMENTS, AND I ALSO THOUGHT ABOUT THE POWER OF THE INSTRUMENTS. I TRIED TO BUILD ON JUST THOSE TWO CONCEPTS.

An admitted “late starter,” Higdon faced mul-tiple naysayers during her early years in music, especially when she decided to focus on com-posing. “People were like ‘no way you’re going to make a living at this,’ ” she said.
That was the thing I was hearing the most. While I was in school, I made the decision to try to freelance compose, which basically made everyone flip out. My teachers were definitely not happy with me about that one. It was fairly rough going in the early days, but then I started winning competi-tions, and people just started asking me for pieces. That happened when I was still in graduate school.
Higdon also battled against aesthetic head-winds in her student years. In the 1980s, most music schools emphasized a strict focus on atonal, dissonant music. Students like Higdon, more interested in tonal music, were consid-ered renegades.
“There was a lot of pressure when I was in school,” she said.
I took a lot of grief for not following the path they thought I should go on. They said, “You’re not advancing music if you’re not
writing atonally.” But I grew up in an artistic household, and my dad always said you had to question everything. You don’t have to do a certain thing in art; that’s not the way art works. So that was my attitude. I was a fairly independent thinker.
Despite her teachers’ warnings, Higdon has become one of classical music’s busiest compos-ers. She has a hefty catalog of completed works and several pieces, including a chamber opera and several concertos, in the pipeline. Her first opera, Cold Mountain, based on the 1997 novel by Charles Frazier, had its world premiere at the Santa Fe Opera in 2015.
With commissions arriving in a steady stream, Higdon has the luxury of writing in her own authentic voice for top-flight soloists like Hilary Hahn and ensembles like Chicago’s Eighth Blackbird and the CSO.
“For me, the challenge in this Low Brass Concerto was just writing beautiful lines that go well together without any extraneous sound effects,” she said. “To write what I think is engaging music.”
Wynne Delacoma is a Chicago-based arts journalist and lecturer.
MY DAD ALWAYS SAID YOU HAD TO QUESTION EVERYTHING. YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO A CERTAIN THING IN ART; THAT’S NOT THE WAY ART WORKS.

NEGAUNEE MUSIC INSTITUTE AT THE CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Crain-Maling Foundation Chicago Symphony Orchestra Young Artists Competition
Since 1919, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Youth Auditions have featured the most talented young soloists from across Illinois. Past winners have included Rachel Barton Pine, CSO Associate Concertmaster Stephanie Jeong, and jazz great Herbie Hancock, who recently performed at Orchestra Hall in an SCP Jazz spe-cial concert. In an interview with Mike Thomas for CSO Sounds & Stories, Hancock described his debut performance with the CSO as an eleven-year-old pianist as “a major factor” in the development of his passion for music and in furthering his career.
Now known as the Crain-Maling Foundation CSO Young Artists Competition, this reimagined concerto competition identifies one outstanding young performer each season to perform as a soloist with the CSO during the following season. The instrument category rotates each year among strings, piano, and woodwinds/brass/percussion. Last year’s winner, Maya Buchanan, will perform a movement from Korngold’s Violin Concerto with the CSO in March. Her performance of the first movement of the concerto with the Civic Orchestra, recorded during the final round of last year’s competition, has also been featured on WFMT’s program Introductions.
This season’s applicants are asked to pre-pare one movement from a selection of piano concertos. A preliminary round will be held on January 27 and 28 at Symphony Center. Finalists will perform in Orchestra Hall on March 3, accompanied by the Civic Orchestra of Chicago under the direction of Sir Georg Solti Conducting Apprentice Erina Yashima.
This final performance is open to the public and begins at 2 p.m. Those interested may apply for a scholarship of up to $1000 toward a music camp or festival of their choosing.
For more information including eligibility require-ments, the repertoire list, and application instructions for the competition, please visit cso.org/yac.

Muti Conducts Vienna’s New Year’s Concert
With a group of Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association trustees, governing members, patrons, and President Jeff Alexander in atten-dance, the celebrated annual event was televised and broadcast on New Year’s Day to as many as fifty million people across more than ninety-five countries. “Muti is the grand seigneur among the star conductors,” wrote Karlheinz Roschitz of Vienna’s Kronen Zeitung, “a sound magician,
who, with just a few gestures, evokes beauty, love, and passion . . . but also, melancholy, Strauss’s famous ‘tear in the eye.’ And he relishes the sumptuous festiveness of Strauss.”
The Vienna Philharmonic’s New Year’s Concert is a long-standing tradition that dates to the late 1930s and early ’40s. With their cele-bratory tone and masterful interpretations of Vienna’s signature waltzes, marches, and polkas, the concerts have continu-ally grown in popularity and usher in each New Year with joy and optimism.
Muti conducted with “charisma, elegance, transparency, and fire, when appropriate,” according to Milan-based newspaper Corriere della Sera, as he led the ensemble with which he has had a close relationship since 1971. Salzburger Nachrichten noted that “Muti stimulated rather than tamed the musicians.” “He gives the philharmonic free rein, free rhythm. In return, he insists on exactness when he knows he is right,” added Wilhelm Sinkovicz of Vienna’s Die Presse.
Muti also provided an Italianate touch to this program by including works inspired by Italy, such as Roses from the South (nicknamed “La bella Italia”) and the inventive Quadrille by Johann Strauss, Jr., inspired by Verdi’s Un ballo in maschera. The Blue Danube Waltz and the Radetzky March, which brought the concert to its traditional close, were met with thunderous applause and standing ovations.

Jay Friedman Principal Trombone The Lisa and Paul Wiggin Principal Trombone Chair
What does it mean to you to be part of the low brass section of the CSO?The style is so strong and has been well established through the years. I was lucky enough to play with Mr. (Arnold) Jacobs and Mr. (Adolph) Herseth for about thirty-five years, to learn from them, and to carry on the tradition with my colleagues.
Is there a precedence for concertos written for this grouping of instruments?I’m reminded of something I read years ago about Robert Schumann as he was writing the Konzertstück for Four
Horns. Nobody had ever writ-ten anything like that before, so he said “I’m flying blind here. I’m creating a new musical form, and I have nothing to relate it to historically.” I imag-ine that Jennifer felt the same way; she knew this would be an interesting experiment.
What did you discuss with the composer for this commission?There’s quite a bit of lyrical writing in this piece, and we really stressed that desire to her. I also asked her not to have any gimmicks in there, like different mutes or glissandos,
circus effects—make it all pure music. I think she responded to that request well.
Describe the collaborative process with Riccardo Muti.I told him recently that other conductors rehearse the concert and then simply conduct what they rehearsed at the perfor-mance. He doesn’t do that. He rehearses, and then he rehearses the concert during the concert, which is even more intense and gets better results because he’s so involved in the music making.

Michael Mulcahy Trombone
What does it mean to you to be part of the low brass section of the CSO?This section has a history of not only legendary players, but also influential teachers. People from all over the world came to Chicago, as I did, to study and to get coaching. We have an awareness of the standard and style that has been created by this section historically, and a desire to continue to build on that tradition.
Describe the sound of the low brass section.It’s true that it’s a powerful orchestra and section, but
what is equally true and more unique is the fact that there is a lot of control with subtle dynamics. Of course we love the exciting big bits, but the wonderful thing about when we’re playing softly is that we’re often exposed—then you can really hear the amazing color of the section.
Is there a precedence for concertos written for this grouping of instruments?We have a tradition of pre-miering new works for brass. We’re very lucky to have the support of the Schmidt family, who have commissioned several
brass works, and each of us has given world premieres of concertos in the past. When you look at the history of all those pieces and now a new one, it’s historically significant. It’s unique in the world.
Describe the collaborative process with Riccardo Muti.When he has a score before him, he is the representative of the composer, and he’s very strict with himself. He is a dis-ciplined musician. Every con-cert counts. Whether in Vienna or a community concert, he is engaged and prepared.

Charles Vernon Trombone
What does it mean to you to be part of the low brass section of the CSO?One thing that I know and remind people about all the time is that this is the easiest place to perform because everybody just plays—similarly, the same. In other orchestras, there’s a lot of work towards getting a certain style, but here it just locks right in.
Is there a precedence for concertos written for this grouping of instruments?There have been several other trombone-section concertos written over the years. Basically
they’re all the same: showing the section as a whole without much interaction with the other members of the orchestra. Some are almost like a quar-tet. We understand the desire to feature the section on its own, but for this concerto, we wanted more interaction with the orchestra.
What should the audience listen for in this concerto?The piece starts with the four of us as a section, which is an impressive moment, but there is good energy throughout. All I can say is that when the maestro is up there, things
change; it puts a new light on what we’re doing. Muti can take something and make it really exciting.
Describe the collaborative process with Riccardo Muti.We’re the luckiest musicians on the planet to be in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and have him as the music director. There’s nothing like it anywhere; there’s nothing like him anywhere. With this unit, everything is at the highest possible level. I’m confident that, with him, this piece is going to be a hit.

Gene Pokorny Principal Tuba The Arnold Jacobs Principal Tuba Chair, endowed by Christine Querfeld
What does it mean to you to be part of the low brass section of the CSO?I am very honored to be part of the ensemble. The reputation of the brass section developed in the mid-1940s with Arnold Jacobs (tuba) on one end and, later, a new hire, Adolph Herseth (trumpet) on the top. With malleable colleagues in the middle between these strong bookends, a formidable brass section was forged. When the Orchestra found itself in European centers of music in the 1970s, the reputation of the
brass section really took off. To step into these very large shoes of those who came before us is more of an honor than you could believe.
What should the audience listen for in this concerto?I’m very glad that Jennifer chose to write for a contrabass tuba. Most of the time when there’s a solo piece for tuba, it’s written for a smaller instrument with a higher range. There’s a deeper sound with contrabass. In fact, this tuba is the one that Jacobs played in the Orchestra.
I’m glad to be part of that history by playing the very same instrument, continuing that legacy from 1944 up to this premiere.
Describe the collaborative process with Riccardo Muti.He gets up there and sells every work as if it’s the greatest piece of Western music ever written. He’s so involved in making a piece successful not only for the Orchestra and for the audience, but also for posterity.

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.

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.

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.

COMMENTS by Richard E. RoddaWELCOME
JAMES M. FAHEYDirectorSymphony Center
Presents
Welcome to Symphony Center!Twenty years ago, Symphony Center opened with an inaugural
festival that featured over twenty concerts from across multiple genres during the first three weeks of the 1997–98 season. In addi-tion to the inaugural concert by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under the direction of then music director Daniel Barenboim, special concerts included performances by Oscar Peterson, Itzhak Perlman, Dave Brubeck, Joe Williams, Maurizio Pollini, Pinchas Zukerman, and many others. In that monumental season, the Symphony Center Presents calendar included over seventy concerts as we welcomed the entire musical world to our newly renovated space.
Our 2017–18 Symphony Center Presents season still features the amazing artistry and the wide variety of genres presented during that inaugural season. We’re thrilled to again welcome actors, pianists, choirs, and chamber and jazz musicians in ensem-bles from all over the world including Russia, Mexico, Germany, Spain, China, India, Cuba, New Orleans, Minnesota, and, of course, Chicago.
During the inaugural season, Symphony Center was chris-tened “The Musical Heart of Chicago,” and while the artists we present bring their amazing musicianship to our stage, it’s you the patrons who make Symphony Center’s musical heart come alive. Whether this is your first visit or you have been a subscriber since before Orchestra Hall was renovated, I thank you for your support of Symphony Center, and I hope you enjoy this concert.
Music is the one incorporeal entrance into the higher world of knowledge
which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend.

COMMENTS by Richard Freed Eric Bromberger
Jean SibeliusBorn December 8, 1865; Tavastehus, FinlandDied September 20, 1957; Järvenpää, Finland
En Saga, Op. 9
In his mid-twenties Sibelius studied for a year in Berlin, and then for another year in Vienna. He had at first intended to be a violinist, but in Berlin he heard the Aino Symphony of his senior compatriot Robert Kajanus (1856–1933),
which was all the impetus he needed for giving a higher priority to composing, and to turn his own creative effort toward the furtherance of Finnish nationalism. Aino is one of the heroines of the Finnish national epic, the Kalevala; Sibelius’s wife was one of the numerous Finnish women named for her. Early in 1892, in Vienna, Sibelius completed the first of his own several works based on the Kalevala: a vast five-part symphony with solo singers and a male chorus depicting episodes in the life of the tragic hero Kullervo. Kajanus saw to it that the Kullervo Symphony was performed in Helsinki that April, and its success prompted him to ask Sibelius for a shorter piece that could be per-formed more frequently. Sibelius responded, at about the time of his wedding, in June of that year, with En Saga, in which he recycled material from an octet for winds and strings he had composed in Berlin.
The new piece was not a success when the composer conducted the premiere in Helsinki on February 16, 1893, but nine years later, when Ferruccio Busoni invited him to present En Saga in Berlin, he subjected the score to a major revision, which made such a positive
impression when he introduced it in Helsinki on November 2, 1902, that it immediately took its place in the general repertory. (Kajanus, for his part, eventually gave up composing in order to devote himself to conducting Sibelius’s works; in his last years he went to London to make the premiere recordings of several of them.)
It was not until four decades later still, when he had written the last of his works and the world had celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday, that Sibelius said anything at all about the extra-musical significance of this work. At that time (the early 1940s) he remarked,
En Saga is the expression of a state of mind. I had undergone a number of painful experi-ences at the time, and in no other work have I revealed myself so completely. It is for this reason that I find all literary explanations quite alien.
Still later, according to his most distinguished biographer, Erik Tawaststjerna, Sibelius
answered an inquiry from abroad by saying that if one had to find a literary or folkloris-tic source for En Saga, the atmosphere of the piece was far closer to the [Icelandic] Eddas than to the Kalevala.
ELEMENTAL FORCESAs Sibelius’s early symphonies show traces of Tchaikovsky and Borodin, En Saga might be said to owe something to such Russian works as Balakirev’s Tamara and Rimsky-Korsakov’s Skazka. (The latter title, in fact, has a meaning

similar to that of En Saga, but with less fear- some connotations: “a tale,” or “legend,” or in some cases “a fairy tale.”) The freedom Sibelius gained by not attempting to tell a specific story or paint a specific picture, though, gives En Saga a universality and directness altogether beyond the scope of those charming and colorful works. This music may not actually make us “want to wrestle a polar bear,” as the enthusiastic Sibelian Olin Downes suggested some seventy-five years ago, but it is powerfully evocative in a more general sense, and it may touch us on deeper levels—may convey a sense of some primordial adven-ture—involving elemental forces rather than
individuals, and both tragic and exhilarating in its fierce urgency.
The themes, strong and persistent, seem to grow directly out of one another, in the nature of metamorphoses. The rhythms are hypnotic, the darkish orchestral coloring (with a bass drum replacing, rather than augmenting, the timpani) as deftly achieved as anything from Rimsky-Korsakov, Strauss, or Ravel. The overall effect is one of striking originality, a style as unlikely to be successfully imitated or duplicated as it is to be mistaken for that of anyone but Sibelius himself.
—Richard Freed
Pyotr TchaikovskyBorn May 7, 1840; Votkinsk, RussiaDied November 6, 1893; Saint Petersburg, Russia
Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat Minor, Op. 23
Tchaikovsky drafted this most famous of piano concertos in November and December 1874, when he was a young professor at the Moscow Conservatory. Only modestly talented as a pianist and insecure about his handling of larger
forms, Tchaikovsky sought the advice of Nikolai Rubinstein, head of the conservatory and the man to whom he intended to dedicate the concerto. Rubinstein listened in silence as Tchaikovsky played the new work through, and then, as the composer later recounted:
There burst from Rubinstein’s mouth a mighty torrent of words. He spoke quietly at first, then he waxed hot, and finally he resembled Zeus hurling thunderbolts.
It seems that my concerto was utterly worthless, absolutely unplayable. Certain passages were so commonplace and awk- ward they could not be improved, and the piece as a whole was bad, trivial, vulgar. I had stolen this from somebody and that from somebody else, so that only two or three pages were good for anything and all the rest should be wiped out or radi- cally rewritten.
A TRIUMPHANT PREMIEREStung (and furious), Tchaikovsky refused to change a note, erased the dedication to Rubinstein, and instead dedicated the concerto to the German pianist-conductor Hans von Bülow, who had championed his music. Bülow promptly took the concerto on a tour of the United States, and it was in Boston on October 25, 1875, that Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto was heard for the first time.

INSTRUMENTATIONsolo piano with orchestra comprising two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani, and strings

It was a huge success on that occasion, and Bülow played it repeatedly in this country to rhapsodic reviews. A critic in Boston, taking note of that success, described the concerto as an “extremely difficult, strange, wild, ultra-modern Russian Concerto,” but back in Russia the composer read the press clippings and was beside himself with happiness:
Think what healthy appetites these Americans must have! Each time Bülow was obliged to repeat the whole finale of my concerto! Nothing like that happens in our country.
Rubinstein eventually saw the error of his initial condemnation and became one of the concerto’s great champions. (It should be noted, though, that in 1889—perhaps more aware of Rubinstein’s criticisms than he cared to admit—Tchaikovsky did in fact take the concerto through a major revision, and it is in this form that we know it today).
A FAMOUS, EPHEMERAL OPENINGAllegro non troppo e molto maestoso. The con-certo has one of the most dramatic beginnings in all the literature, ringing with horn fanfares and cannonades of huge piano chords, followed by one of Tchaikovsky’s great tunes, in which that horn fanfare is transformed into a flowing melody for strings. This opening has become extremely famous, but this introductory section has many quirks. It is in the “wrong” key (D-flat major), and—however striking it may be—it never returns in any form: Tchaikovsky simply
abandons all this tremendous material when he gets to the main section of the movement.
This “real” beginning, marked Allegro con spirito, is finally in the correct key of B-flat minor, and the piano’s skittering main sub-ject is reportedly based on a tune Tchaikovsky heard a blind beggar whistle at a fair in the Ukraine. The expected secondary material quickly appears—a chorale-like theme for winds and a surging, climbing figure for strings—though Tchaikovsky evades expectations by including multiple
cadenzas for the soloist in this movement. The piano writing is of the greatest difficulty (much of it in great hammered octaves), and the move-ment drives to a dramatic close.
Andantino semplice. This movement is aptly named, for this truly is simple music in the best sense of that term: over pizzicato chords, solo flute sings the gentle main theme, an island of calm after the searing first movement. A scherzo-like central episode marked prestissimo leads to the return of the opening material and a quiet close.
Allegro con fuoco. The finale is also well named, for here is music full of fire. It is a rondo based on the piano’s nervous, dancing main theme, and while calmer episodes break into this furious rush, the principal impression this music makes is of white-hot energy, and this “strange, wild, ultra-modern Russian Concerto” rushes to a knock-out close that is just as impressive to audiences today as it was to that first Boston audience in 1875.

Beethoven turned forty in December 1810, and things were going very well. True, his hearing had deteriorated to the point where he was virtually deaf, but he was still riding that white-hot explosion of creativity that has become known,
for better or worse, as his “heroic” style.
REIMAGINING MUSICOver the decade-long span of that style, 1803 to 1813, Beethoven essentially reimagined music and its possibilities. The works that crystallized the heroic style—the Eroica and the Fifth Symphony—unleashed a level of violence and darkness previously unknown in music and then triumphed over them. In these symphonies, music became a matter not of polite discourse but of conflict, struggle, and resolution.
In the fall of 1811, Beethoven began a new symphony, his Seventh, which would differ sharply from those two famous predecessors. Gone is the sense of cataclysmic struggle and hard-won victory. Instead, this music is infused from its first instant with a mood of pure celebration.
Such a spirit has inevitably produced inter-pretations as to what this symphony is “about”: Berlioz heard in it a peasants’ dance; Wagner called it “the apotheosis of the dance;” and more recently Maynard Solomon has suggested that the Seventh is the musical representation of a fes-tival, a brief moment of pure spiritual liberation.
But it may be safest to leave the issue of mean-ing aside and instead listen to the Seventh simply
as music. There had never been music like this before, nor has there been since: this symphony contains more energy than any other piece of music ever written. Much has been made (cor-rectly) of Beethoven’s ability to transform small bits of theme into massive symphonic structures, but here he begins not so much with theme as with rhythm: tiny figures, almost scraps of rhythm. Gradually, he releases the energy locked up in these small figures and from them creates one of the mightiest symphonies ever written.
SMALL IDEAS TRANSFORMEDPoco sostenuto—Vivace. The first movement opens with a slow introduction so long that it almost becomes a separate movement of its own. Tremendous chords punctuate the slow beginning, which gives way to a poised duet for oboes. The real effect of this long Poco sostenuto, however, is to coil the energy that will be unleashed in the true first movement, and Beethoven conveys this rhythmically: the meter of the introduction is a rock-solid (even square) 4/4, but the main body of the movement, marked vivace, transforms this into a light-footed 6/8. This vivace begins in what seems a most unpromising manner, however, as woodwinds toot out a simple dotted 6/8 rhythm and the solo flute announces the first theme. This simple dotted rhythm saturates virtually every measure of the movement, as theme, as accompaniment, as motor rhythm, always hammering into our consciousness. At the climax, horns sail majes-tically to the close as the orchestra thunders out that rhythm one final time.
Allegretto. The second movement, in A minor, is one of Beethoven’s most famous slow move-ments, but the debate continues as to whether it
30
really is a slow movement. Beethoven could not decide whether to mark it andante, a walking tempo, or allegretto, a moderately fast pace. He finally decided on the latter, though the actual pulse is somewhere between those two. This movement too is built on a short rhythmic pattern, in this case the first five notes: long-short-short-long-long—and this pattern repeats here almost as obsessively as the pattern of the first movement. The opening sounds like a series of static chords—the theme itself occurs quietly inside those chords—and Beethoven simply repeats this theme, varying it as it proceeds. The central episode in A major moves grace-fully along smoothly flowing triplets before a little fugato on the opening rhythms builds to a great climax. The movement winds down on the woodwinds’ almost skeletal reprise of the fundamental rhythm.
Presto. The scherzo explodes to life on a theme full of grace notes, powerful accents, flying staccatos, and timpani explosions. This alternates with a trio section for winds reportedly based on an old pilgrims’ hymn, though no one, it seems, has been able to identify that hymn exactly. Beethoven offers a second repeat of the trio, then seems about to offer a third before five abrupt chords drive the movement to its close.
Allegro con brio. These chords set the stage for the finale, again built on the near-obsessive treatment of a short rhythmic pattern, in this case the movement’s opening four-note fanfare. This pattern punctuates the entire movement: it shapes the beginning of the main theme, and its stinging accents thrust the music forward contin-uously as this movement almost boils over with energy. The ending is remarkable: above growling cellos and basses (which rock along on a two-note ostinato for twenty-eight measures), the opening theme drives to a climax that Beethoven marks fff, a dynamic marking he almost never used. This conclusion is virtually Bacchanalian
in its wild power. No matter how many times we’ve heard it, it remains one of the most exciting moments in all of music. Beethoven led the first performance of the Seventh Symphony in Vienna on December 8, 1813—a huge success, with the audience demanding that the second movement be repeated.

Minnesota Orchestra
The Grammy Award–winning Minnesota Orchestra, led by music director Osmo Vänskä, is recognized for distinguished performances around the world, award-winning recordings, radio broadcasts, educational engagement pro-grams, and commitment to building the orches-tral repertoire of the future.
Founded in 1903 as the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, the ensemble played its first regional tour in 1907 and made its New York City debut in 1912 at Carnegie Hall, where it has performed regularly ever since. Outside the United States, the orchestra has played concerts in Australia, Canada, Europe, the Far East, Latin America, and the Middle East. In 2015, Vänskä and the orchestra performed two historic concerts and collaborated in educational projects in Havana, Cuba, becoming the first major American orchestra to perform in the island nation since the U.S. and Cuban govern-ments announced steps to normalize relations between the two countries. Under Vänskä, the
ensemble has undertaken five European tours, most recently a four-country jaunt in August 2016, as well as numerous tours to the broader Minnesota community.
The orchestra’s recordings have drawn acclaim since the early 1920s, when the ensemble became one of the first to be heard on disc. Under Vänskä’s leadership, the orchestra has under-taken several acclaimed recording projects, most notably its highly praised cycles of the sympho-nies of Beethoven and Sibelius. Last season, BIS Records released its two newest albums, one including Sibelius’s Kullervo and Kortekangas’s Migrations and the other featuring Mahler’s Fifth Symphony, the Grammy-nominated first album in a new series of recordings of Mahler.
The Minnesota Orchestra’s season encom-passes nearly 175 programs annually, held primarily at Orchestra Hall in downtown Minneapolis and heard live by 300,000 indi-viduals. The orchestra connects with more than 85,000 music lovers annually through family concerts and educational programs including Young People’s Concerts. Through its innovative Common Chords program of week-long resi-dency festivals, the orchestra has been welcomed in recent seasons to the Minnesota cities of Grand Rapids, Willmar, Hibbing, Bemidji, and Detroit Lakes. The orchestra has commissioned and/or premiered more than 300 compositions and has won twenty awards for its adventurous programming from the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP).

O Finnish conductor Osmo Vänskä, the Minnesota Orchestra’s tenth music director, is renowned internation-ally for his compelling interpretations of the standard, contempo-rary, and Nordic repertoires. He has led
the orchestra on five major European tours—most recently on a four-country circuit in 2016—as well as a historic tour to Cuba in 2015 that was the first by an American orchestra since the thaw in Cuban-American diplomatic rela-tions. He has also led the ensemble on numerous tours to communities across Minnesota. This month, he takes the orchestra on a Midwest tour, including visits to the campuses of Indiana University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for residencies and concerts.
Vänskä’s recording projects with the Minnesota Orchestra have met with great success, includ-ing a cycle of Sibelius’s symphonies, the second album of which won the 2014 Grammy Award for Best Orchestral Performance. Their newest album, featuring Mahler’s Fifth Symphony, has been nominated for a 2018 Grammy Award in the same category. Other recent releases include an album of in-concert recordings of Sibelius’s Kullervo and Finlandia and Kortekangas’s Migrations; two albums of Beethoven’s piano concertos featuring Yevgeny Sudbin; a two-CD set of works by Tchaikovsky featuring pianist Stephen Hough; To Be Certain of the Dawn, composed by Stephen Paulus with libretto by Michael Dennis Browne; and a widely praised cycle of Beethoven’s symphonies, of which indi-vidual discs were nominated for a Grammy and a Classic FM Gramophone Award.
As a guest conductor, Vänskä has received extraordinary praise for his work with many
of the world’s leading orchestras, including the Boston and Chicago symphony orches-tras, the Philadelphia Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, London Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic, Leipzig Gewandhaus, Royal Concertgebouw, Vienna Symphony, Hong Kong Philharmonic, and the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony. In 2014, he was appointed the Iceland Symphony Orchestra’s principal guest conductor; since then he has been named the ensemble’s honorary conductor. He is also conductor laureate of the Lahti Symphony Orchestra, which, during two decades as music director, he transformed into one of Finland’s flagship orchestras, attracting worldwide attention for performances and for award- winning recordings of music by Sibelius on the BIS label.
Vänskä began his career as a clarinetist, holding major posts with the Helsinki and Turku philharmonic orchestras. Since taking up the instrument again for Sommerfest 2005, he has performed at Orchestra Hall and other Twin Cities venues, and at the Grand Teton and Mostly Mozart festivals. This season, he plays clarinet in a VocalEssence Finlandia Forever program and with the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society.
During the 2017–18 season, Vänskä debuts with the National Symphony Orchestra in Taipei and the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra and makes return visits to the San Francisco Symphony, Pittsburgh Symphony, Iceland Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre de Paris, Orchestra National de Lyon, SWR Symphonieorchester Stuttgart, Radio Filharmonisch Orkest in Amsterdam, Helsinki Philharmonic, Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, and Toronto Symphony Orchestra, among other ensembles.

Later in the season, he plays the concerto with the Atlanta Symphony under Robert Spano. In addition, he makes debuts with the London and Helsinki philharmonic orchestras; returns to the Cincinnati Orchestra in Barber’s Piano Concerto; and appears in solo recital at the Wigmore Hall and South Bank Centre in London, the 92nd Street Y in New York, and the Vancouver Recital Society at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts, among other venues. As a chamber musician, he curates and performs in a multi-concert Schubert festival for La Jolla
Music Society, and tours the United States and Europe with his frequent recital partner, cellist Alisa Weilerstein, including concerts at Carnegie Hall and Wigmore Hall.
Inon Barnatan has performed extensively with many of the world’s foremost orchestras, including those of Chicago, Cleveland, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and San Francisco; the Berlin Radio Symphony; the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic; and the Gulbenkian Orchestra in Lisbon. He has worked with such distinguished conductors as Gustavo Dudamel, Michael Tilson Thomas, Susanna Mälkki, Thomas Søndergård, David Robertson, Edo de Waart, Pinchas Zukerman, and Jaap van Zweden. Passionate about contemporary music, in recent seasons the pianist has premiered new pieces composed for him by Matthias Pintscher, Sebastian Currier, and Avner Dorman.
Barnatan’s critically acclaimed discography includes recordings on the Avie and Bridge labels of Schubert’s solo piano works in addition to the album Darknesse Visible, which scored a coveted place on the New York Times’s Best of 2012 list. Barnatan’s latest release is of a live recording of Messiaen’s ninety-minute master-piece, Des canyons aux étoiles (From the canyons to the stars), in which he played the solo piano part with an ensemble conducted by Alan Gilbert at the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival. In October 2016, he released Rachmaninov and Chopin: Cello Sonatas on Decca Classics with Weilerstein, which earned critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic.
