LETTER FROM THE CHAIR AND THE PRESIDENT

Welcome to Symphony Center, home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Chorus, Symphony Center Presents, and the Civic Orchestra of Chicago.

The CSO recently returned from a successful tour to the West Coast and Kansas City. The CSO has had a rich tradition of touring since its first season, which included a performance in Kansas City in 1892! On tour, its reputation precedes it at every location, attracting robust crowds, and in performance, Riccardo Muti and the CSO surpass expectations, becoming the perfect ambassadors for the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois.

This latest tour included debut appearances at the Granada Theatre in Santa Barbara and Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles in addition to returns to Kansas City and Berkeley, Costa Mesa, San Diego, and Palm Desert, California. The repertoire choices included works that Chicago audiences have had the pleasure of hearing in recent concerts, such as Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony, Brahms’s symphonies nos. 2 and 3, Bruckner’s Symphony no. 4, Schumann’s Symphony no. 2, and Rossini’s William Tell Overture. There was also the opportunity to showcase con-temporary music by featuring the CSO–commissioned All These Lighted Things by Mead Composer-in-Residence Elizabeth Ogonek, which received its world premiere at Orchestra Hall on September 28. Principal clarinet Stephen Williamson represented the individual talents of the Orchestra with performances of Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto in A major. A special view of the residency at University of California Berkeley is available on page 6, with additional tour coverage and photos available at cso.org and csosoundsandstories.org.

The Negaunee Music Institute organized a number of educational and engagement activities during the tour. Members of the Orchestra led master classes at the University of Missouri–Kansas City Conservatory of Music and Dance. The CSO’s Berkeley residency included an open rehearsal with the UC Berkeley Symphony Orchestra led by Maestro Muti; a composer colloquium featuring remarks by Elizabeth Ogonek; and an open CSO rehearsal with Muti for local students, campus musicians, and faculty. Another group of CSO musicians formed a quintet to present a community chamber music recital at the San Diego Public Library.

This was the first of two domestic tours for Riccardo Muti and the CSO during the 2017–18 season. In February, an East Coast tour will include highly anticipated returns to the Kennedy Center in Washington (D.C.) and Carnegie Hall in New York as well as Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and Naples and West Palm Beach, Florida. It is a tremendous undertaking when the Orchestra travels, but one well worth the effort in order to share the art-istry of the CSO with new and eager audiences. Of course, time away makes the return to Chicago all the more special. We are pleased to have you with us today, and hope you enjoy the concert.

T H U R S D A Y . Riccardo Muti workshopped Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony with the UC Berkeley Symphony Orchestra. First, he relaxed the players with a stream of banter, delivered with a standup comic’s timing. Then he turned to the music.

Employing solfège, he sang, showing how to articulate phrases. “I don’t hear the contrabass!” Repeating the passage, the basses inserted their lub-dub heartbeat. “Legato!” The musicians fol-lowed. “Bell-iss-imo.” Music is like life, he main-tained. It should be full of surprises. And: “One thing is important in romantic repertoire: if you feel the instrument is speaking, then it’s right.”

Tonight, Muti revealed his approach to music. Now he and the CSO would put ideals into action.

F R I D A Y . Few orchestras today dare touch Rossini’s William Tell Overture. Treated with respect, it’s the ideal curtain-raiser. Its final explosions drove the audience nuts. My wife shushed me as I shouted a thrilled expletive. Contrast Rossini with Elizabeth Ogonek’s All These Lighted Things, whose shimmering colors captured rapt listeners and brought the composer three curtain calls after its West Coast premiere.

At intermission, I overheard a woman tell of a friend’s bad luck in Santa Rosa, five per-cent destroyed by fire. Such stories plague us. Bruckner’s Romantic Symphony is not quite an antidote; nevertheless, substitute the sound of CSO brass for whatever else fills your thoughts, and for a while only music remains. That brass. You’d think Bruckner wrote with this orchestra in mind.

“Music begins with orchestras.” So says Matias Tarnopolsky, executive and artistic director of Cal Performances, which brought the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to the University of California, Berkeley, for an October residency. The CSO arrived in a traumatized community. Days earlier, the deadliest wildfires in California history began ravaging Napa and Sonoma counties and beyond, curtaining the Bay Area in smoke, reminding us of how sud-denly life can go wrong. In recent weeks, provocateurs unnerved Berkeley, using the Free Speech Movement’s birthplace as backdrop to redefine the First Amendment. And, like the rest of the country, Berkeley consumes the unwholesome fare of catastrophic news, from Houston and Las Vegas, Mexico City and Puerto Rico. Music exerts counterbalance. Music, as Riccardo Muti told the UC Berkeley Symphony Orchestra, is “food for the soul”—a healthy diet, so to speak.

Orchestras are about more than music. To hear an ensemble like the CSO is to understand aspiration, to lose patience with second best. And though I’ve lived in the Bay Area for years, I’m a Chicago native, and the Chicago Symphony taught me to love music’s gut appeal. An orchestra offers what mythologist Joseph Campbell called the experience of being alive.

Tarnopolsky, who once served on the CSO’s senior staff, brings orchestras to Berkeley for full immersions. On the CSO’s schedule was a master class, a forum with Mead Composer-in-Residence Elizabeth Ogonek, an open rehearsal, and three concerts.

S A T U R D A Y . Muti made good on his words to the UC Berkeley Symphony Orchestra: music should surprise. In Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony, the Orchestra opened new textures and sonorities. The instruments spoke. Principal clarinet Stephen Williamson, eloquent soloist in Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto, seemed to enjoy every bar. Schumann’s Second Symphony con-firmed what I was starting to grasp. Muti and the Orchestra shun theatricality. They concentrate on the score. The music makes its own case. Such commitment to truth is a model, and not only for musicians.

S U N D A Y . With Brahms’s Second and Third symphonies, I got it. “The conductor should never be an impediment to the music,” Muti had told his master class. Of the many perfor-mances of these symphonies I’ve heard, never have orchestra and conductor vanished as Muti and the CSO disappeared now, leaving only Johannes Brahms. The greater the artists, the less apparent their artistry. They directed our focus to the music.

But we understood their greatness, too. Everyone in this band is a star, and as individual players took bows for their contributions and then the entire ensemble rose, the audience offered the next best thing to an embrace: a roar.

At the end, Muti picked up a microphone. “These have been wonderful days. Unfortunately, we came in times of great tragedy, not only for Berkeley and California, but for the world. We want to end with a tribute to those who have died and to the thousands of homeless.” They played music by Schubert, who knew his share of trag-edy. The Entr’acte no. 3 from Rosamunde is gentle and consoling: one last gift from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to the Bay Area.

Stephen Williamson Principal Clarinet

What is it like to perform as a soloist with the CSO?Being a member of the CSO is a privilege that I deeply cherish. I sense the support of my colleagues whether I am soloing in front of the orchestra or seated in my chair back in the wind section.

What are the challenges of Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto?Mozart is one of the most difficult composers to execute because his music is so refined. The best approach I have is to think of it operatically—to vocalize the lyricism that he writes.

What challenges does a tour present?Every hall comes with its own acoustic challenges. We rarely have a sound check, so it requires an immediate response. For example, the acoustics in Berkeley were enhanced with reverberation and speakers; at times we had to underplay as not to overpower the hall. At the opposite end of the spec-trum are dry halls, especially if you’re a reed player. We spend endless hours working on var-ious types of reeds in order to prepare for multiple acoustical settings, climate, and altitude. The less reverberant the hall,

the more demands are on the reed to make up the difference. We adjust accordingly in each venue and hope for the best!

Describe the CSO soundThis is a different era for the Chicago Symphony. Maestro Muti continues to push us to the utmost extremes of soft playing, which generates a dif-ferent palette of color. Playing with power has never been a problem with this orchestra, but now we’ve expanded to intimate, chamber-like playing.

Throughout the Orchestra’s history, members of the Chicago Symphony have performed together in chamber music ensembles. Sustaining that long tradition is the CSO’s free All-Access Chamber Music series, which began its season on October 29 with a performance at the Logan Center for the Arts on the University of Chicago campus.

During the 1906–07 season, the Chicago String Quartette presented a series of Saturday morning concerts in the second-floor foyer (now the Grainger Ballroom).

ALL-ACCESS Chamber Music Series

Chicago Symphony Orchestra

M embers of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra are known as expert perform-ers of orchestral repertoire, but they are

also talented chamber musicians. The All-Access Chamber Music series gives them the opportu-nity to select and prepare chamber music, includ-ing works they’ve always wanted to perform but haven’t yet had the chance to while maintaining the demanding schedule of a full-time orches-tra member. Having total autonomy over the repertoire generates a different sort of experience for performers and their audiences. Acting principal horn Daniel Gingrich said, “Not only do I love playing [chamber music], but I also love attending live chamber concerts where I experience the excitement generated by my colleagues presenting the cham-ber masterpieces they themselves have chosen.”

The All-Access Chamber Music series is part of a CSO initiative to present music across the Chicago area by welcoming audiences to Orchestra Hall and venues throughout the city. The series is generously underwritten by an anon-ymous donor, which has allowed all concerts to be free since its inception, making it the perfect opportunity to hear one of classical music’s most intimate and conversational forms.

Viola Diane Mues, a member of the Orchestra for thirty years, enjoys the chance to be creative in a different set-ting. “Chamber music is an intimate and personal way to make music,” she says. “As with social groups, an orchestra pro-vides the rush of energy that’s possible in a large gathering, while a trio or quartet is like a cozy dinner party. In a smaller group, different things can be discussed in more detail,

and everyone can enjoy each other’s distinct personalities. I love the opportunity for individ-ual expression!”

Viola Lawrence Neuman agrees and offers perspective on how playing chamber music can benefit the entire orchestra: “In general, playing it is a certain privilege when you spend most of your time playing in a wonderful, large ensemble like the CSO. In an orchestra, a string player’s

goal is to blend in with the sound and to avoid being heard individually. This helps the orchestra to sound its best and allows the music to speak clearly to the listener. But in chamber music, it’s an opportunity—especially for us tutti string players—to take on more responsibility and challenge in terms of

being heard as a single voice. The members of a given chamber group still strive to make a unified, cogent statement with the music, but we have total artistic independence in terms of the story that we want to tell and in the way we each sound. It’s a big deal for any musician to have access to that sort of occasion, and it affects us psychologically and musically in ways that benefit the entire orchestra.”

“ As with social groups, an orchestra provides the rush of energy that’s possible in a large gathering, while a trio or quartet is like a cozy dinner party.”

Beginning last season, half of the All-Access concerts were moved to community locations throughout the city: the Logan Center for the Arts, Kenwood Academy High School, and the South Shore Cultural Center. The addition of these venues reflects the CSO’s efforts to offer patrons with new options, in addition to concerts downtown. The three remaining All-Access concerts will be performed at Symphony Center.

All-Access concerts are also highly accessi- ble, thanks to the informal atmosphere. The

different settings allow audience members to sit closer to the instrumentalists, which lends an even more personal feel to the experi-ence. “All-Access concerts are particularly fun because we often play for people who might not ordinarily attend a classical music concert,” Neuman adds. “Being in a smaller space allows for a different, more intimate experience from that of hearing a big orchestra,” providing new and meaningful ways for members of the CSO to connect with the community.

Laura Sauer is audience development coordinator and editor for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.Tickets for all All-Access Chamber Music concerts

are free but required. To reserve tickets and learn more, visit cso.org/allaccesschamber, call Patron Services at 312-294-3000 or visit Symphony Center’s box office, 220 S. Michigan.

As part of his ongoing commitment to bring classical music into all communities, Riccardo Muti returned to the Illinois Youth Center in west suburban Warrenville for a recital on September 24, 2017, featuring Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s principal bass Alexander Hanna and bass trombone Charles Vernon and members of Lyric Opera of Chicago’s Ryan Opera Center.

More than thirty young men and women attended the concert, Muti’s fifth appearance at Warrenville and his ninth at a Chicago-area youth correctional facility since becoming CSO music director in 2010. Presented by the CSO’s Negaunee Music Institute, the concerts grew out of Muti’s vision of sharing music’s inspirational power with at-risk or incarcerated youth.

Muti also visited the Illinois Youth Center–Chicago in 2014 and 2016, as well as the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center in 2012 and 2013. In 2015, the Evanston, Illinois–based Juvenile Justice Initiative honored Maestro Muti for his time, effort, and commitment to young inmates.

For this concert, Muti offered piano accompa-niment as Ryan Center soprano Diana Newman, tenor Mario Rojas, and contralto Lauren Decker sang arias from operas by Bellini, Donizetti, Offenbach, and Verdi. In addition, Alexander Hanna and Charles Vernon offered solos and duets on such varied works as Henry Eccles’s Sonata in G minor and Antônio Carlos Jobim’s bossa nova standard, “The Girl from Ipanema.”

After last season’s recital at the Illinois Youth Center–Chicago, bass-baritone Eric Owens, who appeared with Muti and mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, told WFMT-FM: “I always carry experiences like this with me. There’s nothing like music to spread love. Music can fill us with hope and vision. I am always happy to be a part of Maestro Muti’s mission to bring music to where the people are.”

Civic Orchestra’s Fourth Annual Bach Marathon

Currently celebrating its ninety-ninth season, the Civic Orchestra of Chicago—the prestigious training orchestra of the CSO—has prepared thousands of emerging professional musicians for lives in music. In addition to its series of free concerts in Orchestra Hall, the Civic Orchestra also pays homage to its name through numerous free concerts and events offered in schools and communities across the city and suburbs.

In what has become an annual tradition for the orchestra, Civic will present a city-wide marathon of performances of J.S. Bach’s six Brandenburg Concertos on Thursday, November 30. Initiated in 2014 by Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant Yo-Yo Ma as an “artistic challenge” to the Civic musicians, the Bach Marathon provides the orchestra with an opportunity to share the joy of music with diverse audiences during the holidays.

The 2017 marathon, presented this season in partnership with Merit School of Music, will begin at Christkindlmarket in the Loop, where all six Concertos will be performed consecutively in the central warming tent. In the afternoon, individual ensembles will visit six Chicago Public Schools participating in Merit’s Music in Communities program to offer interactive per-formances for and with students. To end the day, all ensembles will reconvene for a 7 p.m. finale concert of all Concertos at Fourth Presbyterian Church. For the second year in a row, Bach Marathon will feature Nicholas Kraemer, the world-renowned harpsichordist and conductor of baroque music.

Performances at Christkindlmarket and Fourth Presbyterian Church are free, open to the public, and tickets are not required.

Visit cso.org/bachmarathon for more information.

What does the sixtieth anniversary of the Chorus mean to you?The Chicago Symphony Chorus has lasted sixty years because it’s terrific, and it deserves to con-tinue as long as it possibly can. It’s a force of nature, really—a phenomenon of the music world and important to the city.

What inspires your love of the Chorus and choral music?The human voice is the greatest of all instruments. No other instrument has its range or unique capability to express emotion. Traditional instru-ments are at their best when they emulate that expression, when they’re played with the feeling of a human voice. It’s always amazing to hear the full Chorus perform. They create a single instrument, one voice out of many. Their flexibility is incredible and part of the wonder of the human voice.

Do you have a favorite type of choral music?For us, sacred choral music expresses a range of emotion not often found in other types of music. It comes at emotional times in life: death and birth and resurrection. Many operas showcase similar emotions too, but the intensity is communi-cated most powerfully when referencing those religious themes. The words become very

important in liturgical music, and the music emphasizes their emotional power.

What performances are you most looking forward to during the Chorus’s sixtieth anniversary?We’re Chicago Symphony Chorus fanatics—we like it all! We find ourselves most drawn to liturgical music, but we rel-ish all of the choral programs. The non-liturgical pieces are beautiful in their own right; they just tell a different kind of story. We’re really looking forward to Daphnis and Chloe. There’s a lightness about it, a joyfulness that is hard to beat. The Schubert Mass in E-flat major led by Riccardo Muti will be a great concert, and Rossini’s

Stabat mater will certainly be a highlight of the season. We’re glad to see the French sacred masterworks program start off the season in early October. It will introduce many fans of the Chorus to pieces they may not know well. It’s nice to attract people to new music and new musical ideas, different expres-sions of how composers have used the voice.

What are some of your early memories of the CSO?We began coming to the CSO together and got our first subscription when we saw an ad in the Tribune in the early 1960s for a series of concerts for people who didn’t know much about classical music. We really got to know each other accompanied

Jim and Kay Mabie have been involved with the CSO for more than thirty years. Jim was elected to the Board of Trustees in 1995, became a life trustee in 2007, has served as a past vice chair of the Board, and currently serves as the chairman of the Finance Committee. Kay joined the League of the CSO (the former Women’s Association) in 1999. Together, they chaired the CSO Opening Night Gala in 2001. They are thirty-one year subscribers and have sponsored appearances of the Chorus over the last two decades. In 2005, the Mabies received the Chorus America Philanthropic Award for their generous support and advocacy for the Chicago Symphony Chorus.

by classical music while going on dates to the symphony. We don’t remember what our first CSO concert together was, but this has been a joint venture all the way. Today, we watch the Chorus concerts on the main floor, but when the Chorus isn’t there, we sometimes sit in the terrace where they usually per-form. It’s always fascinating to watch the conductors from the terrace, and we love watching the percussion section.

What have been some of your favorite Chorus concerts?The season finale concert of 2017 was the biggest chorus we’ve ever seen. With the Chicago Symphony Chorus and the Chicago Children’s Choir, singers filled the entire terrace. We know it takes a lot to put on those concerts with full orchestra and chorus. It was a real blockbuster. Bach’s B minor mass in 2013 is also a favorite of ours. But really, picking a favorite is like asking to pick a favorite child. All the performances, all the repertoire, they touch us in

different ways, show different parts of the voice and its emo-tional potential. It’s all terrific.

How have you seen the Chorus grow and change over time?The longevity of Duain Wolfe has had an immense impact. You have the same skillful person making incremental improvements to the ensemble over time. We’ve really been able to see the Chorus grow under him. They trust him so much, and he trusts the musicians. Duain does a great job of preparing the Chorus for each conductor and each piece, each with its own style and demands. The Chorus can give every piece what it needs,

and satisfy every conductor that leads them.

What inspires your ongoing support of the Chicago Symphony Chorus?Singing is something everyone can do and has done, from the shower to the concert hall. It’s a universal art form of human expression that everyone can connect with. We support the Chorus so that the beauty of the sound may be maintained. The level of excellence is unique, and this excellence deeply impacts people. We enjoy it and want others to be able to do so. We hope others will follow in our footsteps to ensure its future success. It can’t just survive—it has to thrive!

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, 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, in 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. Kristin also loves to spend as much time as possible each year in Hawaii pursuing her passions for longboard surfing and hiking.

COMMENTS by Phillip Huscher

Above: Grieg, calling-card photograph, Elliot & Fry studio, London, 1888

Edvard GriegBorn June 15, 1843; Bergen, NorwayDied September 4, 1907; Bergen, Norway

Suite No. 1 from Peer Gynt, Op. 46

Peer Gynt made Grieg unexpectedly famous. Whenever he attended a performance of the play, he would find that he was applauded again and again throughout the evening for the music he had written to be included in Ibsen’s verse drama.

Like Ravel and his Bolero, Grieg grew to resent the sweeping popularity of Peer Gynt—he later said that he wrote it only for the money, calling Ibsen’s play the “most unmusical of subjects.”

From the start, Henrik Ibsen and Edvard Grieg were mismatched, both in personality and artistic inclination, and the passage of time has only emphasized their differences: today Grieg has come to seem even tamer as a composer, while Ibsen is viewed as a kind of visionary. Ibsen approached Grieg, requesting incidental music for an 1876 production of his new drama (the letter, dated January 23, 1874, is a model of unfeeling formality: “I propose to adapt Peer Gynt, which is soon going into its third printing, for the stage. Will you compose the music that will be required?”). Although Grieg apparently agreed without hesitation, he found writing the music slow-going and uninspiring.

Neither man was entirely satisfied with the final product. But from 1876 on, their names were linked forever.

As Ibsen wrote to his publisher when he sent him the first three of the play’s five acts, Peer Gynt “was a real person who lived in the Gudbrandsdal, probably around the end of the last century or the beginning of this one” (mean-ing sometime around 1800). Ibsen’s version fol-lows him from young manhood to old age as he wanders several continents, after abandoning his wife Solveig in search of his innermost self. He returns four decades later to find her faithful and

waiting. In Ibsen’s words, Peer’s grand adventure is “a process of spiritual liberation and catharsis.”

G rieg composed twenty-six numbers for the 1876 production—more than an hour of music. (Grieg’s original

full score, long believed lost, was discovered in the 1980s.) He later arranged two suites of excerpts for the concert hall, which—along with his enduring piano concerto, composed even earlier—continued to perpetuate his fame. (The Chicago Symphony Orchestra performed the First Suite, the one played this week, during its very first season.)

Morning Mood (the prelude to act 4) depicts dawn over the North African desert. (Grieg said the sun breaks through at the first forte.) The death of Peer’s mother, Åse, is a somber dirge (act 3)—a lament for strings alone. In Anitra’s Dance (act 4), an Arab girl, whom Peer encoun-ters during his wanderings in Africa, dances a “mazurka.” In the Hall of the Mountain King (act 2) finds the ruler of the trolls seeking ven-geance on Peer for seducing one of their maidens (in Ibsen, the chorus cries “Kill him!”). Grieg found this insistent, ultimately hair-raising music so grotesque that he claimed he could barely stand to listen to it.

Felix MendelssohnBorn February 3, 1809; Hamburg, GermanyDied November 4, 1847; Leipzig, Germany

Violin Concerto in E Minor, Op. 64

On July 30, 1838, Felix Mendelssohn wrote to his friend, the distin-guished German violinist Ferdinand David, “I’d like to write a violin concerto for you next winter; one in E minor sticks in my head, the beginning of which

will not leave me in peace.” With those lines, Mendelssohn began his last great work—a masterpiece to refute claims of a career in decline and a concerto that would prove as popular as any ever written. Sketches confirm that Mendelssohn knew very early on how this music would go, and an extensive correspondence with David, spanning six years, shows how much care went into the details. Mendelssohn was the architect, David his technical advisor.

David and Mendelssohn were kindred spirits; both were celebrated prodigies, born only a year apart. They became friends in 1825, the year Ferdinand David, fifteen, gave his first concerts in Berlin, and Felix Mendelssohn, sixteen, composed the magnificent Octet for strings that’s

one of the greatest miracles in all music. That summer, after Abraham Mendelssohn moved his family to 3 Leipziger Strasse in Berlin, the two young men became regular chamber music partners as well. (The son of the famous philoso-pher Moses Mendelssohn, Abraham would later say, “First I was the son of my father. Now I am the father of my son.”)

Ten years later, when Mendelssohn was named conductor of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, he asked Ferdinand David to be his concertmaster. In 1843, Mendelssohn founded the Leipzig Conservatory; he appointed David to head his violin staff. (He also hired Robert Schumann to teach piano, composition, and score reading, and soon added Robert’s wife Clara to the piano faculty.)

Although Mendelssohn had written to David some five years earlier of his intention to com-pose a concerto for him, it wasn’t until 1844 that he found time to work on it in earnest. The concerto was completed on September 16, but as late as December 17 he wrote to David one last time, asking him to look at some changes he had penciled in, even though he had already sent the score off to his publisher, Breitkopf and Härtel.

“I very much want to have your views on all this,” he wrote, “before I turn it over to the printer.” David gave the world premiere on March 13, 1845, with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra conducted by Danish composer Niels Gade. It was a great success.

The concerto turned out to be Mendelssohn’s last orchestral work, a powerhouse finale to a career bur-dened by the promise of spectac-ular early accomplishment—even the Italian and Scottish symphonies hadn’t surpassed the masterpieces of his teens—the Octet and the Overture to A Midsummer Night’s Dream. In achievement and popularity, the violin concerto proved to be their equal.

T his violin concerto has long been too well known for an easy appraisal of its real virtues and innovations. In 1921, the

British music critic Donald Tovey wrote, “I rather envy the enjoyment of anyone who should hear the Mendelssohn concerto for the first time and find that, like Hamlet, it was full of quotations.” Perhaps the most famous of the quotations in the concerto is the very opening, a wonderful, singing violin melody launched after just two measures of orchestral “curtain”—a theme so effortlessly right that it comes as a surprise to learn that it gave Mendelssohn considerable trouble. (The essence

of both the theme and its accom-paniment is all there in the first sketch; as Mendelssohn told David, it was a beginning that wouldn’t leave him in peace.)

Although Mendelssohn wasn’t the first composer to introduce his soloist at the start of a concerto, he seized on the happy idea of letting soloist and orchestra explore the exposition together, abandoning the traditional double exposition (one for orchestra alone, a second led by the soloist). The idea was part of Mendelssohn’s design from the beginning, and it was followed

by nearly every nineteenth-century composer, except for Brahms and Dvořák. Equally novel (though less imitated) is Mendelssohn’s decision to move the soloist’s cadenza from the end of the movement to the crucial juncture of the develop-ment section and the recapitulation. The soloist now takes the spotlight at the most dramatic moment in the movement—it’s a powerful and satisfying tactic. The cadenza concludes with a series of arpeggios that continues even after the orchestra bursts in with the main theme, a reversal of their traditional roles.

Novelty shouldn’t overshadow the music’s less historic moments. The first movement is one of Mendelssohn’s greatest creations—there’s evidence of his fastidious craftsmanship and inspiration in every bar. Notice, in particular,

how he handles the important change of key and mode (from minor to major): the solo violin quickly descends three octaves to its lowest G, where it becomes the bass line to a new melody in the clarinets and flutes.

In his own Scottish Symphony, Mendelssohn had played with going from one movement to another without a break. He now conceives his entire concerto, in three move-ments, as one continuous flow of music. The first bridge is accomplished by a single note—a low B in the bassoon—that outlasts the final chord of the opening Allegro like a stuck key on a pipe organ. The sustained B finally rises the half step to C, suggesting a new key—C major—and, in turn, a new movement.

The Andante is one of Mendelssohn’s loveliest songs without words, a full paragraph of sweet melody and sensitive scoring. (Even in his last letter to David, Mendelssohn was still worrying about the effect of the mixed bowed and plucked accompaniment.) The mood darkens midway through, with the entrance of trumpets and

timpani. The bridge to the finale is accomplished by fourteen measures at a transitional tempo, in the character of a recitative before a showstopper aria. This is truly virtuosic material—roulades, scales, and rapid passagework in virtually every measure—cast in Mendelssohn’s characteristic fleet and dancing style. The scurrying main theme carries the day at the expense of a little march tune that passes for a second subject. There’s a fancy coda, and, in the final bar, the soloist’s high E pierces the stratosphere.

Just as a trip to Bayreuth in 1894 discouraged Sibelius from writing operas, a performance of Tchaikovsky’s Pathétique Symphony in Helsinki the same year suggested the direction his career should take instead. Sibelius went to the famous Wagner

festival in Bayreuth that July, carrying his scores of Lohengrin, Tannhäuser, and Die Walküre. (It was Parsifal, however, which he attended the day he arrived, that completely bowled him over.) He later claimed that Wagner’s music had little impact on him, but in that summer of 1894, still under the influence of Parsifal, he dashed off to Munich to see Tristan and Isolde, returned to Bayreuth for the Ring, and subsequently gave up his own plans to write an opera.

In 1894, Sibelius had just begun to write for orchestra. (The majority of his early composi-tions are chamber works—violin sonatas, piano trios, and string quartets.) He tried his hand at composing an overture in 1890 while he was a student in Vienna, where he was greatly excited by a performance of Bruckner’s Third Symphony. (He always remembered that the audience booed the composer, but that Bruckner’s friends escorted him to his coach “amid much cheering and general commotion.”) Inspired by the pros-pect of writing bigger works for larger forces, he

jumped headlong into Kullervo, a five-movement symphonic work of Mahlerian proportions scored for orchestra, soloists, and chorus, which he completed in 1892. With En saga, a tone poem written the same year, and the incidental music for Karelia composed the year after, Sibelius seemed destined to make his mark in the concert hall. The trip to Bayreuth sealed his fate.

After hearing Tchaikovsky’s newest symphony—the Pathétique—in 1894 and then again in 1897, Sibelius could no longer resist writing his own purely instrumental symphony. (He called Kullervo a symphonic poem.) In 1898, he caught a performance of Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique in Berlin, which so greatly fired his enthusiasm that he began composing before he returned to Helsinki. By September he was busy writing, and he didn’t even attend the recitals given there by his friend, the celebrated pianist-composer Ferruccio Busoni, merely sending a note of apology in his place. Sibelius was absorbed in his work and preoccupied with his fate. In his diary that month he comments, “Autumn sun and bitter thoughts . . . . How willingly I would have sacrificed some of the financial support I have received if I only had some sympathy and understanding of my art—if someone loved my work.”

As it turned out, his First Symphony was very warmly received when Sibelius conducted the premiere the following April, and it was soon overshadowed by the greatest popular success

of his career. In December, Sibelius agreed to write incidental music for a pag-eant of dramatic tableaux on Finnish history organized by the Press Pension Fund to inspire national pride during a time of great political tension. (The notorious February Manifesto of 1899 had deprived Finland of its political autonomy and limited the freedoms of speech and assembly.) The music for the fourth tableau, “Finland Awakes,” soon became known around the world as Finlandia and made a national hero of Sibelius, who, ironically, grew up speaking Swedish and didn’t master the Finnish language until he was a young man.

The First Symphony was also used for political purposes. (At the premiere, Sibelius followed it with The Song of the Athenians, a thinly veiled patriotic chorus, leading one Helsinki critic to review a “five-movement symphony with cho-ral finale.”) Finland’s most famous composer quickly became an international figure, and his First Symphony helped to establish his repu-tation. It was the centerpiece of the Helsinki Philharmonic’s European tour in the summer of 1900, and it never failed to rouse the audience.

From the earliest performances, the symphony was regularly compared to those by Tchaikovsky. “I know that there is much in that man I also have,” Sibelius told his wife Aino, “but there isn’t much one can do about that.” Years later, when he had grown weary of hearing variations on the same comment, he lost patience: “I cannot understand why my symphonies are so often compared with Tchaikovsky’s. His symphonies are very human, but they represent the soft part of human nature. Mine are the hard parts.”

F rom the opening measures of his first symphony, Sibelius establishes himself as an utterly distinctive, fresh new voice.

“Every page . . . breathes of another manner of thought, another way of living, even another landscape and seascape than ours,” the English

critic and Wagner scholar Ernest Newman wrote in 1905. The beginning is extraordinary: a solitary clarinet sings a mysterious, exotic melody over the distant thunder of the timpani. The tone shifts at once as the strings interject a bracing new theme that seems to come from yet another landscape (for one thing, it suggests E minor, the symphony’s governing key, for the first time). The main Allegro energico gives the impression of moving across great spaces, encompassing a wide range of speeds, from near standstill to racing momentum. (And sometimes, in characteristic Sibelius fashion, there seems to be more than one tempo going on at once.) One particularly energetic passage is grounded throughout by a long-held pedal point. The movement is tightly knit, organically unified (in the best, seemingly unconscious manner), and masterfully paced.

The slow movement—in E-flat, a real shock after the E minor of the previous music—owes some of its mood and poignant coloring to Tchaikovsky’s Pathétique, but the cut of the melo-dies, the bracing harmonies, and the unexpected shifting tempos are pure Sibelius. The scherzo is vigorous and exciting, with a furious rhythmic drive set in motion by the opening string pizzi-catos. Its midsection trio is delicate, enigmatic, and prophetic of Sibelius’s future as a modernist. The finale begins with the symphony’s opening clarinet melody, now transformed by the strings (and harmonized by the brass). With its pow-erful energy, brilliant orchestral effects—some in open admiration of Tchaikovsky—and oddly exhilarating mood swings, it’s the work of a born symphonist.

Phillip Huscher has been the program annotator for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra since 1987.

Principal guest conduc-tor of the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and Canada’s National Arts Centre Orchestra in Ottawa, John Storgårds enjoys a dual career as a conductor and violin virtuoso. He also is

artistic director of the Chamber Orchestra of Lapland and artistic partner of the Munich Chamber Orchestra. He served as chief conduc-tor of the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra from 2008 to 2015, and he is artistic director of the Montreal Symphony’s Nordic Spring Festival.

Storgårds appears with such ensembles as the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, WDR Symphony Orchestra in Cologne, Orchestre philharmonique de Radio France, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, and the National Symphony Orchestra of Italy’s RAI Torino in addition to all the major Scandinavian orchestras and the Sydney, Melbourne, and New Zealand symphonies. Soloists with whom he regularly collaborates include Yefim Bronfman, Sol Gabetta, Håkan Hardenberger, Gil Shaham, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, and Frank Peter Zimmermann.

John Storgårds made his North American debut with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra during the 2005–06 season. Since then, he has appeared with the New York Philharmonic; the Boston Symphony at Tanglewood; the Cleveland Orchestra at Blossom; and the Toronto, St. Louis, Detroit, Atlanta, Montreal, Cincinnati, Vancouver, Baltimore, and Houston symphony orchestras.

Highlights of his 2017–18 season in North America include reengagements with the St. Louis and Toronto symphonies and a three-concert series celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Canadian Confederation and the 100th anniversary of Finnish independence with the National Arts Centre Orchestra, for which he also led the North American debut of his Chamber Orchestra of Lapland.

Highlights of the season in Europe include a return to the BBC Proms with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, debut appear-ances with the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra at the Musikverein and the London Philharmonic Orchestra at Royal Festival Hall, and return engagements with the Oslo and Warsaw philharmonics.

Equally at home in the opera house, John Storgårds conducted the Finnish premieres of both Haydn’s Orlando paladino at the Finnish National Opera and Schumann’s Genoveva. In September 2017, he gave the world premiere of Sebastian Fagerlund’s opera Höstsonaten (Autumn sonata) at Finnish National Opera.

Storgårds’s repertoire includes all of the symphonies of Sibelius, Nielsen, Bruckner, Brahms, Beethoven, and Schumann as well as world premieres of works by Kaija Saariaho, Brett Dean, Per Nørgård, and Pēteris Vasks. He gave the Finnish premieres of Schumann’s early Zwickau symphony as well as the world pre-mieres of Sibelius’s Suite for Violin and Strings, op. 117 and the late fragments. As violinist, he performed the Finnish premiere of Schumann’s own violin version of the Cello Concerto and his Violin Sonata no. 3.

Storgårds’s award-winning discography includes works by Schumann, Mozart, Beethoven, and Haydn in addition to rarities by Holmboe and Vasks that feature him as violin soloist. His most recent recording with the BBC Philharmonic is of works by George Antheil. Storgårds’s recording of concertos for theremin and horn by Kalevi Aho with the Chamber Orchestra of Lapland received the distinguished ECHO Klassik Award in 2015.

John Storgårds studied violin with Chaim Taub, was concertmaster of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra under Esa-Pekka Salonen, and subsequently studied conducting with Jorma Panula and Eri Klas at the Sibelius Academy. He received the Finnish State Prize for Music in 2002 and the Pro Finlandia Prize 2012.

These concerts mark John Storgårds’s debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

Gil Shaham is one of the foremost violinists of our time, whose flawless technique combined with his inimitable warmth and generosity of spirit has solidified his renown as an American master. The Grammy

Award winner, also named Musical America’s Instrumentalist of the Year, is sought after throughout the world for concerto appearances with leading orchestras and conductors and regularly appears in recital and with ensembles on the world’s great concert stages and at the most prestigious festivals.

Highlights of recent seasons include the acclaimed recording and performances of J.S. Bach’s complete sonatas and partitas for solo violin. In the coming seasons, in addition to championing these works, he joins his longtime duo partner, pianist Akira Eguchi, in recitals throughout North America, Europe, and Asia.

Appearances with orchestra regularly include the Berlin Philharmonic, Boston Symphony, Chicago Symphony, the Israel and Los Angeles philharmonics, New York Philharmonic, Orchestre de Paris, and San Francisco Symphony as well as multiyear residencies with the orches-tras of Montreal, Stuttgart, and Singapore. Shaham also continues the exploration of his project Violin Concertos of the 1930s, including the works of Barber, Bartók, Berg, Korngold, and Prokofiev, among many others.

Gil Shaham has more than two dozen concerto and solo CDs to his credit, earning multiple Grammys, a Grand Prix du Disque, Diapason d’Or, and Gramophone Editor’s Choice. Many of these recordings appear on Canary Classics, the label he founded in 2004. His CDs include 1930s Violin Concertos (vol. 1), Sarasate: Virtuoso Violin Works, Elgar’s Violin Concerto, Nigunim: Hebrew

Melodies, The Butterfly Lovers, and many more. His most recent recording in the series 1930s Violin Concertos (vol. 2), including Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto and Bartók’s Violin Concerto no. 2, was nominated for a Grammy Award.

Gil Shaham was born in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois. He moved with his parents to Israel, where he began violin studies with Samuel Bernstein of the Rubin Academy of Music at the age of seven, receiving annual scholarships from the America-Israel Cultural Foundation. In 1981, he made debuts with the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, and the following year took first prize in the Claremont Competition in Israel. He later was a scholarship student at the Juilliard School and also studied at Columbia University.

Shaham was awarded an Avery Fisher Career Grant in 1990 and received the Avery Fisher Prize in 2008. He was named Instrumentalist of the Year by Musical America in 2012.

He plays the 1699 “Countess Polignac” Stradivarius and resides in New York City with his wife, violinist Adele Anthony, and their three children.

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.
