DIAVOLO | Architecture in Motion®Equal parts Cirque du Soleil, brilliant choreography and “architecture in motion,” Diavolo turns death-defying dancers free in a display of kinetic drama.

“We present the human body in relation to architectural structures on stage,” says Diavolo dancer and choreographer Leandro Damasco, Jr., who’s in his fourth season with the collaborative dance company. “What we offer is a form of dance between these two elements —a conversation, a relationship between movement and structure. It’s a unique characterization of the human spirit.”

Damasco sees his role as a bridge between Artistic Director Jacques Heim’s vision and his fellow dancer-collaborators. “In ‘Fluid Infinities,’ set to the music of Philip Glass’ Symphony No. 3, audiences see an abstract dome structure that sits on a reflection of itself,” he says of the work that premiered in 2013 at the Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles. “The dome brings to mind a honeycomb, moon craters, or even a starship.

“‘Fluid Infinities’ is the last installment of a trilogy, ‘L’Espace du Temps.’ In the first two installments, we worked with cubes—but in ‘Fluid Infinities,’ we explore

spherical elements of structure through continuous movement and metaphors of space and the unknown. As the trilogy ends, ‘Fluid Infinities’ looks at the struggle and promise of life beyond space and time.”

Also on the program is “Transit Space,” which probes themes of feeling lost, and finding a sense of purpose. According to the Diavolo website, the work—inspired by the documentary “Dogtown and Z-Boys”—uses skateboard ramps as set pieces to represent an urban environment with ever-shifting physical and emotional spaces.

“It’s very LA,” explains Damasco. “It represents the empty spaces in our lives—like skateboarders who go out at will, whenever and wherever they want. They don’t want to be confined, and they won’t be restricted.

“The audience will see how liberating dance can be, and what it means to trust life itself if you let life happen.”

Dialogues of the Carmelites, Sung in Englishby Francis PoulencMarch 11 and 13, 2016Francis Poulenc’s dark, intense 1957 opera—based on the persecution of nuns at the convent at Campiegne during the French Revolution—fearlessly grapples with such timeless human emotions as fear, despair and faith. “As rich as a vintage port, the opera delivers a soft and melodic score that undulates with (dark) and complex themes … as tragically current as (they are) old.” (Metro Weekly)

The Tender Land, Sung in Englishby Aaron CoplandApril 21 and 24, 2016Copland was inspired to write his only full-length opera by the Depression-era photographs of Walker Evans and James Agee’s "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men." This classic tale of small-town America evokes everything from "The Grapes of Wrath" to "Our Town" and "Oklahoma!" “Copland in his Americana mode ... (A)n affecting, honest and musically elegant "work … bustling rhythmic intensity and pungent chromatic bite.” (The New York Times)

BODYTRAFFIC“We commission choreographers around the world to represent the vision of BODYTRAFFIC, which is to inspire people to live life to the fullest,” says Dora Quintanilla of the contemporary dance company founded in 2007 by Lillian Barbeito and Tina Finkelman Berkett. “We want to contribute to the world in a very positive way.”

The company’s first performance in Boulder comprises three distinct works, including “And at midnight, the green bride floated through the village square”—a large ensemble piece by Barak Marshall featuring 10 dancers, five women and five men.

“It’s inspired by true events that happened to Barak’s mother in Aden, Yemen, in her youth,” says company manager Quintanilla of the work that’s set to Jewish love songs and hymns from the Yiddish, Ladino and Yemenite traditions. “It’s a dance theater piece with lots of props and acting. It tells the story of a family of eight sisters and one brother who were the noisy neighbors of Barak’s mother.”

Per the company’s website, the long-titled work is further described as “a morality tale filled with dark humor that tells the story of how jealousy doomed all nine of the family’s children to a life filled with rage, unhappiness and loneliness.”

Rounding out the program is “Once again before you go” by Victor Quijada of the RUBBERBANDance Group. “In this piece created for BODYTRAFFIC in 2014, Victor brings together hip-hop, breakdance and ballet lines and extensions,” says Quintanilla. Indeed, Quijada’s work is known for “eloquently reimagining, deconstructing and applying choreographic principles to hip-hop ideology, and examining humanity through a unique fusion of aesthetics.”

The program concludes with American choreographer Richard Siegal’s “O2Joy,” a playful piece set to the music of American jazz greats—from Billie Holiday and Harry Belafonte to Ella Fitzgerald. Siegal is founder and artistic director of The Bakery, an organization dedicated to international artistic collaborations. “As the title suggests, ‘O2Joy’ is an expression of joy through music and movement,” Quintanilla says. “It’s ballet-based, peppered with syncopated hip-hop and humor.”

The Met has launched the careers of well-known opera greats like Renée Fleming, Deborah Voigt, Thomas Hampson and many other big-name artists. This is your chance to hear the brightest new stars performing arias, duets and ensembles by the world’s greatest composers.

Represented by Columbia Artists Management (CAMI), the Metropolitan Opera Rising Stars Concert Series offers fans across North America a rare opportunity to experience remarkable artists on the cusp of extraordinary careers. On March 1, five young performers—a soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor and baritone accompanied by a pianist—will present a range of timeless arias and duets sung in French, Spanish, German and Italian, as well as familiar art songs and classic musical theater. “There’s something for everyone to enjoy and appreciate,” says Sarah Davis, a CAMI rep.

According to Davis, for more than 125 years the Metropolitan Opera has been the artistic home of the greatest singers in the world, as well as the launchpad for opera stars of the future. “Some of today’s leading artists got their first big break by winning the company’s national auditions, as members of the young artist program, or by catching the attention of Met talent scouts,” she says. “Stephanie Blythe, Susan Graham and Mariusz Kwiecien are just a few more of the major artists to have come through the Met ranks.”

Davis says some of the young artists who will perform in Boulder have had opportunities to perform together in the past, while others are coming together in recital for the very first time. “Another generation of young singers is waiting to be discovered.”

The Met has launched the careers of well-known opera greats like Renée Fleming, Deborah Voigt, Thomas Hampson and many other big-name artists. This is your chance to hear the brightest new stars performing arias, duets and ensembles by the world’s greatest composers.

Represented by Columbia Artists Management (CAMI), the Metropolitan Opera Rising Stars Concert Series offers fans across North America a rare opportunity to experience remarkable artists on the cusp of extraordinary careers. On March 1, five young performers—a soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor and baritone accompanied by a pianist—will present a range of timeless arias and duets sung in French, Spanish, German and Italian, as well as familiar art songs and classic musical theater. “There’s something for everyone to enjoy and appreciate,” says Sarah Davis, a CAMI rep.

According to Davis, for more than 125 years the Metropolitan Opera has been the artistic home of the greatest singers in the world, as well as the launchpad for opera stars of the future. “Some of today’s leading artists got their first big break by winning the company’s national auditions, as members of the young artist program, or by catching the attention of Met talent scouts,” she says. “Stephanie Blythe, Susan Graham and Mariusz Kwiecien are just a few more of the major artists to have come through the Met ranks.”

Davis says some of the young artists who will perform in Boulder have had opportunities to perform together in the past, while others are coming together in recital for the very first time. “Another generation of young singers is waiting to be discovered.”

Program NotesBy Marc Shulgold

When he arrived as a permanent resident of Vienna in 1792 (mere months after Mozart’s death), young Beethoven had a long way to go in becoming an earth-shaking composer. He was welcomed immediately as a virtuoso pianist and a brilliant improviser—no small accomplishment in that keyboard-crazy town. But these attributes did not extend to writing music away from the piano, particularly the string quartet, which had been elevated to high art by Haydn and Mozart. No, approaching the standards set by his predecessors would require serious study and no small degree of labor. As a lad in Bonn, he’d studied violin and viola, playing in orchestras around town. Once in Vienna, he befriended a fine violinist named Ignaz Schuppanzigh, six years younger but already a formidable presence in the city, thanks to his talent and, um, girth. Their friendship would last through Beethoven’s life—and would change the course of music history. Schuppanzigh introduced the young composer to Vienna’s best musicians and, significantly, to future patrons Count Andreas Razumovsky and Prince Carl Lichnowsky. What’s more, the violinist is credited with forming the first-ever “public” string quartet. Concerts previously given for the privileged few would now also be offered in small theaters for the paying public. The composer’s friendship with Vienna’s best proved a major influence in his string-writing. Schuppanzigh’s group gave premieres of many of the 16 quartets composed by Beethoven, including the first six, published as Opus 18 in 1801. No surprise that completing them was an arduous process, stretching over a period of two years, as the composer wrote,

revised, erased and, no doubt, discarded, while jumping from one to the other. He’d already finished some preperatory work, penning a handful of string trios. Though he completed the D Major quartet first, a publisher assigned it No. 3 of Opus 18. There is an inviting youthful freshness and clarity in Beethoven’s early writing for string quartet—a reminder that he was bubbling with ideas, but still learning the rules before he felt confident enough to break them. Consider the D Major quartet’s first movement and its easy-to-follow Sonata-Allegro form, a blueprint so beloved by Haydn and Mozart: An opening theme, introduced by a pair of whole notes (always recognizable with each reappearance), is followed by an unstable transition that leads to a suitably contrasting new tune; then comes the development section, which explores this material, ending with (once again) those two opening notes that gently return us to the beginning, now slightly altered. Similarly, the lovely Andante is built on a simple idea: a four-note phrase introduced by the second violin. Notice how the second fiddle remains in the alto range, while the first assumes the role of soprano. If you’ve got good ears, you may observe how the composer turns that four-note phrase upside down near the end—a conclusion, incidentally, that also offers an early Beethoven surprise, with its sudden, agitated ensemble chord passages. The remaining movements follow tradition: a gentle minuet (marked Allegro), featuring a Trio section in the minor, and a jolly finale that skips merrily along, now and then sounding like a Tarantella—ending not with a bang, but with a gentle smirk.

To hear this powerful music is to become witness to the rumblings of war in eastern Europe, circa 1914. Most of the Sonata was written by Janáček in that year, though the plaintive, innocent Ballada dates back to 1908. Like many of his fellow Moravians, the composer hoped that the looming conflict would find the Russian army swooping in to defeat the Austro-Hungarian occupiers and liberate his homeland. (At war’s end, Moravia became part of central Czechoslovakia and is now situated in the eastern Czech Republic.) As he wrote the piece, Janáček said, “I could just about hear the sound of the steel clashing in my troubled head.” Though passionate about his beloved Moravia, he was also an ardent admirer of Russian culture, a fondness that emerges forcefully in the short, high-energy third movement. But then, elsewhere are traces of Czech, Hungarian and Romanian melodies and rhythms (the piano enters the Sonata with a hammered dulcimer imitation). What dominates this work, however, is the terror of war, introduced immediately by a short, slashing violin solo in the first movement. Those

horrors culminate in the torturous journey that is the final Adagio, its music punctuated by the violin’s brief, anguished interruptions—each followed by an even shorter, whispered echo. This repeated phrase will then serve to carry the Sonata into a quiet but powerful concluding silence. With the lovely Ballada having been completed six years earlier, Janáček finished the three remaining movements as war broke out. He returned to the Sonata for revisions during and after the conflict, finally submitting it for publication and a premiere in 1922. Each movement is built concisely, almost classically structured—yet the music retains a spontaneity and unpredictability in its sudden stops and starts and changes in mood. Amid these images of war sits the folk-like Ballada, its sweet melody crying out for words to be sung with a smile. As with his contemporaries Dvořák and Smetana, a love of nature and of the pastoral melodies of his homeland never seem far from view in Janáček’s music. “I do not play about with empty melodies,” he insisted. “I dip them in life and nature.”

Violin Sonata Leoš Janáček

Ah, the warm, inviting serenity of the countryside. Unless you’re talking about the woods bordering the Elgars’ cottage, Brinkwells, in the heart of Sussex, where Sir Edward and Lady Elgar had settled after leaving London in 1917. It was impossible to escape the ominous shadow of a nearby grouping of strange, gnarled trees, perhaps disfigured by a lightning strike. They presented “a ghastly sight in the evening,” according to the composer’s biographer, and would serve as an inspiration for Elgar’s Piano Quintet, begun in the summer of 1918 and premiered the following May. The composer had been intrigued by that forest grouping, particularly after he heard about the supposed origin of their twisted branches (more likely a tale invented by the composer’s friend and ghost story specialist Algernon Blackwood). The legend tells of a group of Spanish monks who had gathered there for “impious rites,” most likely black magic. But then a punitive lightning explosion ended this blasphemy, turning the ill-fated monks into those frightful trees. Never mind that no Spaniards – monks or otherwise—ever inhabited the woods. Lady Elgar described the quintet as a “reminiscence of sinister trees.” How accurate is such an assertion? We can certainly feel their presence in the spooky opening of the first movement. And a suggestion of those naughty monks appears in a Spanish-flavored dance

tune following that eerie beginning. But that’s pretty much it. The quintet was part of an unexpected mini-flood of chamber works that included the Violin Sonata (Op. 82) and String Quartet (Op. 83). Why this sudden interest in more intimate musical forms so late in life? We can only speculate—but it’s possible that Elgar felt he’d said all he had to say in his orchestral and choral compositions, which had long ago placed him on a high pedestal by critics and the public. The fact that no music of any significance followed those chamber pieces (along with the magnificent Cello Concerto, Op. 85) suggests that Elgar had grown a bit tired, settling into a mood of autumnal resignation and introspection, fueled perhaps by his depressed state in response to the war’s utter devastation. No such sadness appears in the celestial Adagio, as lovely and tranquil a piece as Elgar created. And there’s not much that is particularly “sinister” about the energetic finale (following a brief introduction), in which the unison strings emphatically deliver a joyous theme, ending with a triumphant coda. Well, it’s not entirely joyous. Though the major-key mood dominates the finale, we do encounter a reminder of the quintet’s earlier spookiness in a hushed, ghost-like episode that leads to a creepy little waltz. Darn those trees!

The Takács Quartet Recognized as one of the world’s great ensembles, the Takács Quartet plays with a unique blend of drama, warmth and humor, combining four distinct musical personalities to bring fresh insights to the string quartet repertoire.

The Takács became the first string quartet to win the Wigmore Hall Medal on May 10, 2014. The medal, inaugurated in 2007, recognizes major international artists who have a strong association with the hall.

In 2012, Gramophone announced that the Takács was the only string quartet to be inducted into its first Hall of Fame. The ensemble also won the 2011 Award for Chamber Music and Song presented by the Royal Philharmonic Society in London.

Since 1988, the quartet has also made 16 recordings of works by Beethoven, Bartók, Borodin, Brahms, Chausson, Dvořák, Haydn, Mozart, Schubert and Smetana for the Decca label. The ensemble’s

recording of the six Bartók string quartets received the 1998 Gramophone Award for chamber music. The ensemble’s other Decca recordings include Dvořák’s String Quartet in E-flat Major, Op. 51 and Piano Quintet in A Major, Op. 81 with pianist Andreas Haefliger; Schubert’s Quartet in G Major and Notturno Piano Trio with Mr. Haefliger; the three Brahms string quartets and Piano Quintet in F minor with pianist András Schiff; and Mozart’s String Quintets, K. 515 and 516 with Gyorgy Pauk, viola.

The members of the Takács Quartet are Christoffersen Faculty Fellows at the University of Colorado Boulder, where the quartet has helped to develop a string program with a special emphasis on chamber music. The quartet’s commitment to teaching is enhanced by summer residencies at the Aspen Music Festival and at the Music Academy of the West, Santa Barbara. They are also Visiting Fellows at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London.

Shostakovich: DedicationJanuary 22 and 23 - An evening in dedication to victims of fascism and war. Shostakovich composed from behind the Iron Curtain in an atmosphere of repression. Pavel Haas was a leading composer who was sent by the Nazis to Auschwitz. Rising composer D.J. Sparr has composed a piece that honors Bach’s Third Brandenburg Concerto.

Mozart Requiem with St. Martin’s Chamber ChoirApril 8 and 9 - Mozart’s sublime Requiem was completed by his student, Franz Xaver Süssmayr, and re-visited by later musicians and scholars. For all the problems of completion, Mozart’s exquisite expression shines through. Also on the program is Mozart’s beautiful Ave Verum Corpus.

MAKE ANYTHING POSSIBLE.

For a better future. For a better us.TM

YMCA OF BOULDER VALLEY • ymcabv.orgServing Boulder, Broomfield & Weld Counties

When we are guided, supported and encouraged by others, it’s a powerful experience. It builds our confidence, brightens our outlooks and frees us to imagine all that’s possible. However, when resources are stretched and families struggle to make ends meet, it is difficult just to keep kids safe and cared for, let alone to give them opportunities to play sports, learn new things and explore new worlds.

The YMCA provides both: a safe, nurturing environment as well as the guidance and encouragement to discover all we can achieve. When we have the YMCA, anything is possible.
