Dear Friends,

The 90th Anniversary Season of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra in 2012–13 was a yearof stark contrasts. Noteworthy advancements in our programming and community engagementwere often shrouded by the public controversy surrounding the early termination of our musicdirector’s contract. Financially, the picture was also mixed, with record results for the AnnualCampaign offset by under-performance in underwriting support and at the box office.

Looking back on the year, it is important to remind ourselves—and those in the Rochestercommunity who care deeply about symphonic music and the RPO—that there was much to beproud of in the organization’s artistic output. Week after week, the extraordinary musicians ofthe RPO performed exhilarating concerts that brought audiences to their feet.

Among the most notable achievements last season were three world premieres: Jeff Tyzik’sImages: Musical Impressions of an Art Museum, commissioned by the Memorial Art Gallery tocelebrate its 100th anniversary in 2013; The Freedom Zephyr by the late Eastman School ofMusic Dean Douglas Lowry, a work commissioned by the RPO and inspired by Rochester’srole in the Underground Railroad; and Water of Life, an RPO commission from the California-based composer Karen Tanaka.

Beyond the many free public concerts, concerts for school-age children, and other educationalactivities that are typical of every RPO season, the Orchestra’s anniversary year also saw usreaching out in exciting new ways to deepen our partnerships with numerous artists andinstitutions in our region.

By the end of the fiscal year on August 31, 2013, the organization’s collective focus was verymuch on the future. The Music Director Search Committee, led by former Board Chair IngridStanlis, had a well-organized music director search process well under way, and an OperationalSustainability Task Force, chaired by Patrick Fulford, was wrestling with the RPO’s underlyingfiscal challenges and exploring every possible strategy for achieving financial stability.

Whether you’re a frequent attendee or an occasional concertgoer, a generous donor or a loyalvolunteer, we thank YOU for the role you have played in supporting the RPO as it transitionedthrough a difficult year into a bright, new era of collaboration, community engagement, creativethinking, and forward momentum.

For the past 90 years, the RPO has been Rochester’s orchestra, and we remain more committedthan ever to the ideals of our founder, George Eastman. Together, we will perpetuate theRochester Philharmonic’s remarkable legacy of great performances and service to thecommunity for another 90 years.

Dawn F. Lipson Charles H. OwensChairperson of the Board President & CEO

The full annual report—with artistic highlights, attendance figures, and financialstatements—is posted on the RPO web site at rpo.org.

hoped to use his success to give back to the community.

Wendy’s Restaurants of Rochester Owner Richard Fox carries on Thomas’s dedication tocommunity service through several of his own initiatives. Programs include Wendy’s Read toSucceed, Birthday Club, Product Donations, Incentives and Awards, Wendy’s Bus Program, andWendy’s Fundraising. Wendy’s Restaurants of Rochester has been the presenting sponsor for theRPO OrKIDStra series since 1980. The RPO thanks Wendy’s Restaurants of Rochester for itscontinued support of the orchestra’s education and community outreach programming.

———————————————Prélude à l’Après-midi d’un faune(Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun)Claude Debussyb. St. Germaine-en-Laye, France / August 22,1862 d. Paris, France / March 25, 1918__________________________________

First performed by the RPO on October 17,1923; Eugene Goossens, conductor. Lastperformed on April 10, 2010; James Gaffigan,conductor.

This masterpiece of musical atmosphereheralded the emergence of Debussy’s maturestyle. Poet Stéphane Mallarmé wrote L’après-midi d’un faune in 1876. When Debussyencountered it some 10 years later, herecognized in it a style similar to his view ofmusic. The words of the poem are those of afaun or satyr, a lazy, pleasure-loving half-man,half-goat creature from Classical mythology.Debussy described his musical reflection as “avery free rendering of Stéphane Mallarmé’sbeautiful poem. It does not purport tocontain everything that is in the poem. It israther a succession of scenes in which thedesires and dreams of the faun pass throughin the heat of the afternoon. Then, tired ofchasing the frightened nymphs and naiads, hegives in to intoxicating sleep.”

Music as free and as sensuous as this hadnever been heard before. Its improvisationalquality would become a Debussy trademark.Conjured out of silence by theunaccompanied call of the faun’s flute, itevokes Mallarmé’s hazy, dream-like ideas witheffortless tonal magic. Short phrases melt oneinto the other; solo winds take the spotlightin turn; coolness alternates with passion.

Recalling the premiere, conductor GustaveDoret wrote, “There was a vast silence in thehall as I ascended the podium with someemotion, but full of confidence. I waited along moment, after imposing silence on theaudience, then our marvellous flutist Barrère

unrolled his opening theme. Suddenly I feltbehind my back a completely captivatedpublic! The triumph was complete, so muchso that I did not hesitate to break the ruleforbidding encores. The orchestra wasdelighted to repeat this work, which it hadcome to love and which, thanks to them, theaudience had now accepted.”

———————————————Violin Concerto No. 3 in B Minor, Op. 61Camille Saint-Saënsb. Paris, France / October 9, 1835d. Algiers, Algeria / December 16, 1921__________________________________

First performed by the RPO on January 13, 1983;David Zinman, conductor; Joseph Swensen,soloist. Last performed on November 5, 2005;Jun Märkl, conductor, Kristin Lee, soloist.

During a period in French music when com -posers’ reputations rested first of all with theirdegree of success in the emotional world ofopera, Saint-Saëns proved himself a maverickby preferring the cooler, more abstract realmof instrumental music. He composed the lastof his three violin concertos for Pablo deSarasate, previously the inspiration for hisViolin Concerto No. 1, and the Introductionand Rondo capriccioso. He wasn’t alone indrawing inspiration from the sovereign skillsof this Spanish-born, Paris-resident virtuoso:Edouard Lalo (Symphonie espagnole), MaxBruch (Concerto No. 2 and Scottish Fantasy),and Antonín Dvořák (Mazurek) also createdworks especially for him.

Regarding Concerto No. 3, Saint-Saënswrote, “During the composition of thisconcerto, Sarasate gave me invaluable advice,to which is certainly due the considerabledegree of favor it has met with on the part ofviolinists themselves.” Sarasate gave thepremiere in Paris on January 2, 1881. He wasnot initially pleased with it, feeling it wasinsufficiently virtuosic to fully satisfy thepublic. It was only after Belgian soloistEugene Ysaÿe won great success with it that

Sarasate’s enthusiasm revived and he took itinto his repertoire. Its dramatic content isconfined to the outer movements. They alsooffer frequent opportunities for violinists toshow off their technical prowess. The sweet,melodious second movement provides aninterlude of graceful repose.

———————————————Une barque sur l’océan (A Boat on the Ocean)Maurice Ravelb. Ciboure, France / March 7, 1875d. Paris, France / December 28, 1937__________________________________

First performance by the RPO.

Ravel composed the five-movement suite,Miroirs (Mirrors, or Reflections), in 1904 and1905. He dedicated each piece to a memberof Les Apaches (The Ruffians), a group ofyoung, avant-garde Parisian poets, painters, andmusicians to which he belonged. A Spanishpianist (and fellow Apache), Ricardo Viñes,premiered Miroirs in Paris on January 6, 1906.

One movement, Alborada del gracioso (TheJester’s Morning Song) bears a Spanish title andhas a bold, wickedly satirical character. It metwith such success at the premiere that Viñesencored it immediately. The other pieces, towhich Ravel gave French names, are moreconcerned with atmosphere, and evoking avariety of creatures and locations: Noctuelles(Night Moths); Oiseaux tristes (Sad Birds); Unebarque sur l’océan (A Boat on the Ocean); andLa vallée des cloches (The Valley of the Bells).

Une barque is the longest piece in thecollection. It is a sweeping water image, partdelicate, part majestic. In it, Ravel expandedupon and deepened the style of his earlierpiano piece, Jeux d’eau (Play of the Water). Hecreated an orchestral transcription of Unebarque sur l’océan shortly after composing thepiano original. Uncertain of that version’svalue, he withdrew it in 1907 after a singleperformance. It was released for furtherperformance only after his death.

———————————————TziganeMaurice Ravel__________________________________

First performed by the RPO on January 7, 1965;Laszlo Somogyi, conductor; Millard Taylor,soloist. Last performed on April 21, 2007; PeterBay, conductor; Amy Beth Harmon, soloist.

In 1922, Ravel heard a recital by Hungarianviolinist Jelly D’Aranyi. After the concert, sheplayed gypsy melodies at his request.Intrigued, he decided to pay homage both toher and her music in this fiery composition,Tzigane (the French word for a female gypsy).She gave the premiere of the original, violin-and-piano version in London during April1924. Ravel created the even more colorfularrangement with orchestral accompanimentover the following summer. It opens with along, elaborate unaccompanied violin solo.The orchestra then enters quietly, ushering ina dashing, kaleidoscopic segment overflowingwith virtuoso fireworks.

———————————————The Firebird: Suite (1919 revision)Igor Stravinskyb. Oranienbaum, Russia / June 17, 1882d. New York, New York / April 6, 1971__________________________________

First performed by the RPO on November 6,1924; Eugene Goossens, conductor. Lastperformed on February 19, 2011; SarahIoannides, conductor.

Stravinsky’s balletThe Firebird belongs to hisfirst creative period, when his music stillshowed the influence of the colorful, folk-based style favored by his teacher, Rimsky-Korsakov. It came into being thanks toimpresario Sergei Diaghilev. For the secondParisian season of his celebrated company, LesBallets russes, Diaghilev envisioned a lavishlymounted new dance production, its plotadapted from Russian fairy tales. Heentrusted the scenario and choreography toesteemed dance master Mikhail Fokine.

When his first choice as composer, his formermusic teacher Anatoly Lyadov, was judgedtoo slow to complete the score on time,Diaghilev cast about for a replacement.Familiar with Stravinsky through the orches -trations he had contributed to Diaghilev’sballet Les Sylphides, and impressed with twoof Stravinsky’s brief, original orchestral pieces,Diaghilev offered the 27-year-old composer acommission for The Firebird. The premiere,in Paris on June 25, 1910, achieved aglittering triumph, launching Stravinsky intothe front rank of contemporary composers.

This concert suite contains roughly half themusic of the complete score. It follows thesequence of the original scenario. With thehelp of a magic firebird, the hero, Prince Ivan,rescues a group of spellbound princesses fromthe clutches of an evil magician, Kastcheï.Stravinsky’s music is highly atmospheric,colorful, imaginative and melodious. Itincludes two Russian folk songs, one a lyricaltune for the princesses, the other the majestichymn which closes the score. The whirling,nightmarish Infernal Dance performed byKastcheï and his monstrous subjects is atour-de-force of orchestral brilliance.

———————————————Symphony No. 3 in C Minor: Third andFourth MovementsFlorence Priceb. Little Rock, Arkansas / April 9, 1887d. Chicago, Illinois / June 3, 1953__________________________________

First performance by the RPO.

The first female African-American composerto earn a national reputation, and to have asymphony performed by a major orchestra(No. 1 in E Minor, Chicago SymphonyOrchestra, 1933), Florence Price enjoyedconsiderable renown during her lifetime, andin recent years has come to be recognized as asignificant American composer of the 1930sand 1940s. Selections from her 300compositions have been performed by suchfront-rank musicians as soprano LeontynePrice and contralto Marian Anderson.

Florence Price graduated from the NewEngland Conservatory of Music in 1906. By then she had already been composing forseveral years. The eminent composer GeorgeWhitefield Chadwick recognized her talentand took her on as a pupil. She spent herimmediate postgraduate years performing andteaching in the southern states, then relocatedto Chicago in 1927. Despite considerable hard -ships, she established herself there as a re spec -ted pianist, organist, teacher and composer.

Here is how she described Symphony No. 3.

“It was composed in the late summer of 1938,laid aside for a year and then revised. It isintended to be Negroid in character andexpression. In it no attempt, however, hasbeen made to project Negro music solely inthe traditional manner. None of the themesare adaptations or derivations of folk songs.The intention behind the writing of this workwas a not too deliberate attempt to picture across-section of present-day Negro life andthought with its heritage of that which is past,paralleled, or influenced by concepts of thepresent day.”

The symphony was premiered in 1940 by theMichigan WPA Symphony Orchestra withValter Poole conducting. It is a colorful andmelodically appealing work. The third move -ment, Juba, recreates a type of joyous African-American plantation dance. The middlesection is slower and bluesy. The finale pressesahead with vigor and determination, leadingto a grand, triumphant conclusion.

———————————————New Morning for the World,“Daybreak ofFreedom”Joseph Schwantnerb. Chicago, Illinois / March 22, 1943__________________________________

First performance by the RPO.

While developing a profile as a leading Amer -i can composer, Schwantner also served on thefaculties of The Juilliard School of Music,East man School of Music (1970-2001), andthe Yale School of Music. His music is notedfor its deft implementation of luminous colorand fluctuating rhythms in a dramatic andunique style. It has been championed by suchconductors as Leonard Slatkin and MarinAlsop, and artists including Dame EvelynGlennie and Sharon Isbin among many others.He won a Pulitzer Prize in 1969 for After tonesof Infinity. Recent commissioners include theNational Symphony Orchestra, eighthblackbird, and the Indianapolis Symphony.

New Morning for the World, “Daybreak ofFreedom,” was commissioned by AT&T forthe Eastman Philharmonia Orchestra. DavidEphron conducted the premiere on January15, 1983, in Washington, D.C. That was thebirthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., amost appropriate occasion because he is thesubject of the music, and from whose speechesSchwantner drew the text. The composer haswritten of him as “a man of great dignity andcourage whom I have long admired.”

The music opens with a violent episodeevoking Dr. King’s tragic death, followed by a

———————————————Piano Concerto in F MajorGeorge Gershwinb. Brooklyn, New York / September 26, 1898d. Hollywood, California / July 11, 1937__________________________________

First performed by the RPO on December 2,1948; Erich Leinsdorf, conductor; Byron Janis,soloist. Last performed on July 3, 2010; MichaelButterman, conductor; Marcus Roberts, soloist.

Walter Damrosch, conductor of the NewYork Symphony Orchestra, was in theaudience when Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Bluemade its debut in 1924. Impressed by itsunprecedented amalgamation of popular andclassical styles, he commissioned Gershwin tocompose a full-scale piano concerto.

The first performance took place in CarnegieHall on December 3, 1925. The audienceacclaimed the concerto and its composer/performer, but the critics were more reservedin their judgment. They found the concertoless convincing than the rhapsody on severalfronts, including novelty and length. Listenershave never stopped caring for it, however,making it the most frequently playedconcerto by any American composer.

For the premiere, Gershwin wrote the follow -ing description: “The first movement employsthe Charleston rhythm. It is quick andpulsating, representing the young, enthusiasticspirit of American life. It begins with a rhythmicmotive given out by the kettledrums,

supported by the other percussion instru ments,and with a Charleston motive introduced bybassoons, horns, clarinets, and violas. Theprincipal theme is announced by the bassoon.Later, a second theme is introduced by thepiano. The second movement has a poetic,nocturnal atmosphere which has come to bereferred to as the American blues, but in apurer form than that in which they areusually treated. The final movement reverts tothe style of the first. It is an orgy of rhythms,starting violently and keeping the same pacethroughout.”

One of the all-time greats of jazz, Ellingtontoured with his band for decades, and com -posed countless songs and instrumental piecesthat have strongly maintained their popularity.He regularly created more ambitious works:musicals (Jump for Joy); film scores (Anatomyof a Murder); incidental music for plays(Timon of Athens); a ballet (The River); sacredmusic (In the Beginning, God); and numerousextended instrumental suites (Black, Brownand Beige, Three Black Kings, Liberian Suite).

According to Ellington’s autobiography,Harlem was commissioned in 1950 for theNBC Symphony Orchestra and its celebratedconductor, Arturo Toscanini, as part of amulti-composer suite entitled Portraits of NewYork. Those artists never performed it, butEllington and his jazz band did. Later, heengaged other musicians (their names varyfrom one account to another) to prepare thecommonly heard version which combines thejazz ensemble with a symphony orchestra.
