We are so pleased that you have chosen to enrich your life with music, and warmly welcome you to Symphony Center.

Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra recently returned from Asia marking the Orchestra’s sixty-first international tour. It was an abso-lute triumph, with eleven public concerts performed to full houses in five cities. We encourage you to read about this impactful tour on page 4 of your program. February 26 to March 2, Muti and the Orchestra travel to Florida for four concerts in West Palm Beach, Miami, and Naples, featuring works by Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, and Rimsky-Korsakov.

Muti conducts two weeks of subscription concerts in February and March here in Chicago. For the first, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus per-form Mozart’s Requiem on a program that also includes William Schuman’s Symphony no. 9, the American com-poser’s moving response to a Second World War atrocity that took place near Rome. The CSO, in collaboration with the Consulate General of Italy and the Italian Cultural Institute of Chicago, presents special programming to

inform audiences about this history, including a special display in the Rotunda. Later, Muti leads a program of works by Rossini, Wagner, and Beethoven and con-certos by Vivaldi and Benshoof with CSO piccolo Jennifer Gunn. The Orchestra also welcomes guest conductors David Afkham, Osmo Vänskä, and Esa-Pekka Salonen; gives this season’s second performance at Wheaton College on March 8 with Afkham; and performs the music of Gershwin in the CSO at the Movies series presentation of An American in Paris.

Symphony Center Presents offers a range of programs highlighting the artistry of distinguished international musicians. Pianists Behzod Abduraimov and Maurizio Pollini appear on the SCP Piano series, and violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter is joined by cellist Daniel Müller-Schott and pianist Lambert Orkis in an SCP Chamber Music recital. The twenty-fifth SCP Jazz season continues with double-bill pro-grams featuring the Paquito D’Rivera Quintet with Pedrito Martinez and Alfredo Rodríguez Duo as well as the Bad Plus with Kurt Rosenwinkel and José James celebrating Bill Withers. In addition, the Chieftains, George Hinchliffe’s Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, and the San Francisco Symphony with Michael Tilson Thomas all grace the Armour Stage at Orchestra Hall.

We hope to see you often at these fantastic concerts, and encourage you to view and subscribe to the recently announced 2019–20 season on cso.org.

ASIATOUR

RICCARDO MUTI and the CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

January 19–February 4, 2019


In mid-January, Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra embarked on their second tour of Asia and eighth international tour together since 2010. The occasion also marked the Orchestra’s ninth tour to Asia and the sixty-first international tour in its history. With eleven concerts in five cities (Taipei, Shanghai, Beijing, Tokyo, and Osaka), Muti and the Orchestra once again had the opportunity to act as cultural ambassadors as they dazzled audiences on the other side of the world.

W hen it comes to the world’s leading symphony orchestra . . . the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is a name that has to be men-tioned,” read the Beijing Evening News in anticipation of the

CSO’s upcoming concerts. It also praised Riccardo Muti “as the representa-tive of the world’s highest level of maestro.”

The CSO and Muti are often referred to with accolades suggesting their status as “world class,” “world renowned,” and “leading.” What does that reputation mean in a global society? Moreover, how was that reputation established and how is it maintained?

Certainly part of it is being located in a city that has an international reputation—one with 55.2 million domestic and overseas visitors in 2017, many of whom came to Chicago specifically because of the strength of its cultural institutions—and a city that has long since prided itself on its eth-nic diversity, famously celebrated in the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 and in which the young Chicago Orchestra and Theodore Thomas, its first music director, actively participated.

While the quality of its music making has attracted eager listeners to Chicago for genera-tions, the Orchestra has also been proactive in reinforcing its position as a leader through now

sixty-one international tours in its nearly 128 year history.

Traveling with 184 people and eighteen tons of cargo is no small feat. It takes thousands of hours of planning and careful preparations that begin years in advance. Ask anyone involved in this undertaking, and they will agree: it is well worth the effort—and the jet lag—to share the musical gifts of the CSO with the wider world.

A fter departing from O’Hare on a 12:20 a.m. flight on January 16, the Orchestra made its first stop at the National Concert Hall

in Taipei for two concerts. In the day and a half before the first rehearsal, the Orchestra members enjoyed some “free” time as they acclimated to their new time zone—fourteen hours ahead of Central Standard Time. For CSO principal clarinet Stephen Williamson, viola Youming Chen, and principal percussion Cynthia Yeh, that period included teaching master classes at the invitation of National Taiwan University of the Arts. For others, there was sightseeing in the old Taipei market, sitting for interviews with local press, reed making for woodwind players, and, of course, practice, practice, practice.

Riccardo Muti joined the Orchestra the morning of January 19 to rehearse that evening’s program, which included Brahms’s symphonies nos. 1 and 2. One of the most careful consider-ations in the planning of a tour is the repertoire, selected by Muti and the Artistic Planning team to highlight the many talents of the Orchestra and to give listeners performances to remember, as hearing the CSO live may be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many in the audience. For this tour,

the Orchestra presented three distinct programs. The first was the aforementioned Brahms, which was heard at each location on the tour. Chicago listeners may recall the outstanding performances of Brahms’s four symphonies at Symphony Center in May 2017. Indeed, the press in Beijing noted the “unique charm” of the woodwinds, the extraor-dinary unity and “cooperation” of the brass, and “warmth” of the strings.

The second program, performed in Taipei, Shanghai, Beijing, and Tokyo, paired Tchaikovsky’s Symphony no. 5 and Rimsky-Korsakov’s Sheherazade. Tchaikovsky’s sympho-nies, with their distinct elegance and pathos, have become a calling card for the singular relation-ship of Muti and the CSO. Chicago audiences are familiar with that special dynamism from the 2014–15 survey of Tchaikovsky’s symphonies, as well as many other performances of works by the Russian composer. On the second half of the con-cert, Sheherazade offered a lush display of orches-tral color and drama that raised the audience to its feet with each performance. “Facing this highly picturesque and narrative orchestral master-piece, Muti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra brought me into a vivid landscape from the very

beginning [that was] filled with a palpable dra-matic tension,” wrote Yan-Huan Li of the Wenhui Daily News.

The final program of this year’s Asia tour was exclusively part of the multiday residency in Tokyo. Here, Muti led the CSO in two perfor-mances of Verdi’s Requiem; the second per-formance on February 2, included a special celebration to mark his 400th concert with the Orchestra. Muti, widely considered today’s preem-inent interpreter of the music of Giuseppe Verdi, first performed the requiem with the CSO and Chorus at Symphony Center in January 2009, and the work has become a symbol of artistic achieve-ment—with two Grammy awards to prove it! Of the recent concerts in Tokyo, Koki Eto of Japan’s Nikkei wrote, “Their thunderous resonance was a reminder of God’s judgment day,” and continued, “The CSO showcased its wide range of expression under the baton of Riccardo Muti. In sensitive movements, there were colors and nuances, and in tutti, glorious sounds filled the hall.” The per-formances of Verdi’s Requiem in Tokyo featured an all-star roster of soloists including soprano Vittoria Yeo, mezzo-soprano Daniela Barcellona, tenor Francesco Meli, and bass Dmitry

Belosselskiy (each singer has performed with Muti and the CSO in Chicago on other occasions), and the Tokyo Opera Singers chorus.

In addition to these programs, the Orchestra always came prepared with encores to give one or two final thrills. Those selected for this tour included the Intermezzo from Giordano’s Fedora and Brahms’s Hungarian Dance no. 1 in G minor. These were happily performed in gratitude for the warm reception and ovations Muti and the CSO received from audiences.

M uti and the Orchestra also take their responsibility to share music with more people beyond the concert hall very

seriously, in Chicago and on tour. In addition to sold-out concerts, the Orchestra participated in a number of educational and engagement activi-ties presented by the Negaunee Music Institute. These included master classes at the Shanghai Conservatory, and community performances

by CSO chamber ensembles in Shanghai at a neighborhood senior center and the bilingual Little Bridge International School, in Tokyo at the Meguro Disability Center, and at the Higashiyama Elementary School in Tokyo. An appreciative student at the Shanghai Conservatory told China News, “We often participate in master classes, but this is the first time I have been taught by American musicians. They are not only skilled, but also very willing to communicate, which makes everyone very happy.”

In addition to serving as an ambassador for the city of Chicago, the members of the Orchestra and its Italian music director are an extremely cosmopolitan group representing several nations and continents, including Asia. For many, this tour offered a homecoming—an important chance to see family and friends, return to their alma maters, and share their backgrounds with fellow Orchestra members. As acting principal viola Li-Kuo Chang stated, “Come to the end, what’s

aboveRiccardo Muti, Vittoria Yeo, Daniela Barcellona, Francesco Meli, Dmitri Belosselskiy, the Tokyo Opera Singers chorus, its director Shigeki Miyamatsu, and the CSO take a bow following their performance of Verdi’s Requiem, January 31.

the most rewarding thing? To come back to your home-town with this world-class orchestra. Nothing can beat that experience.”

F or all Orchestra mem-bers and staff, the tour was filled with expres-

sive performances, meaning-ful educational experiences, and opportunities to bring music to thousands of appre-ciative and eager listeners. At the tour’s end, after months of rigorous, detailed plan-ning by CSO staff, careful repertoire preparation, and instruments packed and transported with the greatest of care, the CSO returned home to Chicago having performed eleven concerts in five cities in the span of just over two weeks.

For Riccardo Muti, offering transformative musical experiences to the world is a critical form of diplomacy. Giorgio Starace, the Italian ambas-sador to Japan, and his guests made it a point to attend the first performance of Verdi’s Requiem in support of the Orchestra and Muti, who has the distinction of receiving both Japan’s Order of the Gold and Silver Star and Praemium Imperiale, the arts equivalent of the Nobel Prize. As Muti told Howard Reich of the Chicago Tribune, “I have said many times that a great symphony orches-tra is an ambassador of the culture of a nation.

I think that many times the United States [is] seen outside of the country—not only in Asia but also in Europe—[as] the image of a very power-ful country. . . . These tours give an image of the United States that is much more delicate, much more spiritual, culturally speaking.”

The CSOA Family Salutes Duain Wolfe on the Occasion of His 25th Season as Director and Conductor of the Chicago Symphony ChorusDuain Wolfe first prepared the Chicago Symphony Chorus as a guest for a Ravinia Festival program of opera choruses in August 1993 and again early the following February for downtown perfor-mances of Schoenberg’s Friede auf Erden. Concluding a three-year search, Daniel Barenboim announced that Wolfe would become the second director of the Chicago Symphony Chorus, and he officially took directorship on June 1, 1994.

During his tenure, Wolfe has prepared the Chorus for over 150 programs at Orchestra Hall and the Ravinia Festival, as well as on tour in Carnegie Hall and the Philharmonie in Berlin. In addition, Wolfe formed and led the Chicago Symphony Singers, a touring chamber chorus; conceived and conducted the pop-ular holiday concert series, Welcome, Yule!; directed numerous imaginative youth programs; and remains a frequent guest on the Classic Encounter preconcert series. He also has prepared the Chorus for numerous recordings, including two Grammy winners: Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg conducted by Sir Georg Solti and Verdi’s Requiem conducted by Riccardo Muti, which received the Grammy Award for Best Choral Performance.

We thank Duain Wolfe for twenty-five extraordinary seasons, and look forward to many more.

Connecting with CPS Schools, Reflecting on 100 Years of Chicago History

N ow in its fourth season, CSO-Connect is a partnership program between the CSO and Chicago Public Schools that functions

as a professional development program for CPS teachers from arts and non-arts classrooms. The program focuses on building leadership skills in the area of arts integration. While partici-pating in multiple workshops, teachers analyze their school’s data and collaborate with their peers to develop and implement high quality, arts-rich curricula. Participating schools are provided access to CSO and Civic Orchestra musicians through in-school chamber ensemble

performances and the attendance of a CSO School Concert.

This season’s CSO-Connect theme is Reflect, Respond, Remix. 2018–19 marks the one-hundredth season of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago and the CSO’s concert series for chil-dren, both of which were founded in 1919 by the CSO’s second music director, Frederick Stock. November through May, CPS teachers and Civic Fellows engage students in projects that require conversations and reflections on the stories and experiences of a wide range of people in diverse communities throughout Greater Chicago.

Students will respond through musical proj-ects that “remix” the history and traditions of orchestral music with the rich cultural diversity of modern-day Chicago.

On May 3 and 14, Sullivan High School will host the culminating event, welcoming Agassiz, Calmeca, Clinton, Disney, Innovations, Jahn, Pickard, Sawyer, and Swift schools to their audi-torium. There, the CPS students alongside their Civic musician mentors, will present the pieces they have created throughout the year, including writings, visual art, and musical performances, all based on the theme of Reflect, Respond, Remix.

These performances explore the musical and cultural traditions in Chicago from over the last one-hundred years. The second goal is to create

an original musical program for use in Chicago Public Schools that melds the city’s history with the experiences of today’s CPS students while creating a vision of the future that is both inclu-sive and welcoming. This season, students’ projects will:

Write scripts that depict different periods of Chicago history with original music, like a silent film

Explore their own history, the history of Chicago, and how the arts intertwine with the past by learning about the neighborhoods they come from through the filter of the musicians, artists, and dancers who have come from those neighborhoods

Study Florence Price’s Symphony no. 3 and, with the help of Civic Fellows, incorporate excerpts and samples into their original compositions

Compose a song that reflects on the past and looks to the future while expressing changes

November 29, 2018, marked the start of the fourth year of Soundpost, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s preconcert series that explores the inner workings of music which is presented by the Overture Council. Held in Symphony Center’s Buntrock Hall from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., this year’s three-event series considers music’s ability to heal. Speakers at the November event included Jeffrey Wolfe, director of community programs for the Institute for Therapy Through the Arts, and Dr. Borna Bonakdarpour, a neurology spe-cialist at Northwestern Medicine.

ruth crawford seegerBorn July 3, 1901; East Liverpool, OhioDied November 18, 1953; Chevy Chase, Maryland

Andante from String Quartet 1931

composed1931

Ruth Crawford Seeger enjoyed parallel careers as a composer and folk music scholar. She studied com-position and piano at the American Conservatory of

Music in Chicago, where she met Carl Sandburg and contributed folksong arrangements to his The American Songbag. In 1929, she moved to New York to study with composer and musicol-ogist Charles Seeger, and won a Guggenheim Fellowship the following year—the first awarded to a woman. She and Seeger were married in 1931 and moved to Washington (D.C.) five years later, where she became associated with the Archive of American Folk Song at the Library of Congress. During the remaining seventeen years of her life, she concentrated on preserving and disseminating American folk music.

In the application for her Guggenheim Fellowship she submitted in 1929, Crawford pro-posed to use the grant to write “one major work of the general magnitude of a symphony, and various minor works for smaller combinations. Also to continue my studies in orchestration and composition, in Paris and Berlin.” The follow-ing spring, the foundation informed her that her proposal had been accepted, and she began preparing for her residency in Europe by collect-ing advice and letters of introduction from friends and musicians, studying scores, and sketching two movements of a fearless string quartet in the most up-to-date style of the day. She arrived in London in August 1930; toured the city; and then made a slow journey through Holland, Belgium, and Germany to take in concerts of contemporary music before settling in Berlin that September.

She was disappointed to have only a brief, unpro-ductive meeting with Hindemith and none at all with Schoenberg, but met many other musicians as she immersed herself in Berlin’s avant-garde music scene and worked on the string quartet she had begun in New York. In April 1931, Crawford traveled to Paris by way of Budapest, where she met with Bartók; Vienna, where Alban Berg gave her encouragement and advice after examining some of her scores; and Munich. By the time she returned to New York in November 1931, she had finished her String Quartet 1931.

Crawford’s work was enthusiastically received at its premiere and has remained her most highly regarded composition. Composer and Herald Tribune music critic Virgil Thomson called the quartet “… thoroughly absorbing. It is in every way a distinguished, noble piece of work. It is also a daring one and completely successful.”

Of the third-movement Andante, Crawford wrote:

The underlying plan [of the Andante] is heterophony [i.e., two or more versions of the same melody] of dynamics—a sort of counterpoint of crescendos and diminu-endos. The crescendo and diminuendo in each instrument occur in definite rhythmic patterns, which change from time to time as the movement proceeds. The crescendos are intended to be precisely timed; the high point is indicated to occur at some specific beat of the measure. . . . No high point in the cre-scendo in any one instrument coincides with the high point in any other instrument. . . . The melodic line grows out of this continuous increase and decrease; it is given, one tone at a time, to different instruments, and each new melodic tone is brought in at the high point in a crescendo.

amy beachBorn September 5, 1867; Henniker, New HampshireDied December 27, 1944; New York City

Piano Quintet in F-sharp Minor, Op. 67

composed1907

In a land of pioneers, Amy Beach stood tall among the artistic avant-garde: she was the most prominent female American composer of her day, a leading keyboard

artist, the first American woman composer to earn recognition abroad, and the first to write a symphony. She began composing melodies at the age of four and gave her debut recital a year later, for which she played some waltzes of her own invention. Beach made her public debut in 1883 with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and pursued a successful career as a soloist. Two years later, she married prominent Boston surgeon Henry Harris Aubrey Beach, who encouraged his wife to cultivate her gift as a composer. She curtailed her public appearances during the following years to devote herself to the intense study of theoretical treatises and music by old and contemporary masters. Following the death of her husband in 1910, Beach resumed an active performing career, and in 1911, made her first trip to Europe, where her performances and composi-tions were warmly received. Her catalog includes more than 150 opus numbers. The high estimation in which Beach was held by her contemporar-ies is evidenced by the fact that only three of her works remained unpublished during her lifetime. Following her death, her music quickly slipped into obscurity and remained largely unperformed until Morton Gould and pianist Mary Louise Boehm reintroduced the Piano Concerto with the American Symphony Orchestra in 1976. Today, Beach’s music is again recognized as an import-ant and integral part of this country’s artistic and cultural heritage.

Amy Beach was the last representative of the turn-of-the-twentieth-century American roman-tic school. In The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, Judith Tick wrote that Beach’s compositional style “is elaborate and inventive rather than concise, relying on a natural gift for melody; characteristically, the instrumental works contain many themes, broad developments, and complex harmonies.”

Beach frequently performed her quintet when she resumed touring in 1910. “In the quintet, Mrs. Beach shows her best side as a composer,” wrote a critic. “It is the work of a musician of great ability and knowledge.” With an ambi-tious scale, rich textures, and lyrical impulse, the quintet bears the impress of the chamber music of Schumann and Brahms, but its advanced chromatic harmony is characteristic of the early twentieth century. A slow, largely meditative introduction prefaces the opening movement’s sonata form. After a pause, the tempo quickens for the main theme: a smooth, somber melody presented by the violin. In a brighter tonality, the second theme is heard in the piano’s tenor reg-ister. Ethereal, sustained string unisons recalled from the introduction bridge to the development section, which repeats both of the movement’s themes. The strings, again in unison, begin the recapitulation with a shortened version of the main subject above the piano’s muscular accom-paniment. After the second theme returns in the violin, the movement comes to a quiet, melan-choly close. The Adagio is in a broad three-part form (A–B–A) that uses a tender melody as the theme of its outer sections and music of a more impassioned nature for its extended central epi-sode. The finale’s principal subject is an anxious, short-phrased violin strain presented after a vig-orous introduction. The viola plays the subsidi-ary theme, which is comprised of small intervals.

comments


The development section culminates with a fugal treatment of the main melody that is broken off by a sudden silence. The quintet’s ominous

opening measures are recalled, after which the work concludes with a return of the finale’s sec-ond theme and a brief, forceful coda.

robert schumannBorn June 8, 1810; Zwickau, Saxony, GermanyDied July 29, 1856; Endenich, near Bonn, Germany

Piano Quintet in E-flat Major, Op. 44

composed1842

After a year spent concen-trating on works for orches-tra, Schumann turned to chamber music with almost maniacal zeal in 1842. Entries in his diary attest to the fran-

tic pace of his inspiration: “June 4th: Started the Quartet in A minor. June 8th: My quartet almost finished. June 11th: A good day, started a second quartet. June 18th: The second quartet almost finished up to the variations. July 5th: Finished my second quartet. July 8th: Began the third quartet.” Within just two months, Schumann’s three string quartets—published together under op. 41—were completed in a frenzy of creative activity. He never wrote another work in the form. Having nearly exhausted himself, he and Clara took a holiday at a Bohemian spa in August, but he again threw himself into composition soon after his return. Drained by three months of feverish work, Schumann slumped into a state of nervous col-lapse and was unable to compose again until the following February. His achievements of 1842—the composition of six chamber music master-pieces in just five months time—stand as one of the greatest bursts of inspiration in the history of the form.

Schumann sketched the E-flat major quintet, the first major work ever written for that combi-nation of instruments, in just five days. It opens with a striding, heroic theme played by the full ensemble. As a transition to the second theme, the piano and violin posit a gentler motive, followed

by a lovely scalar melody initiated by the cello. A recall of the vigorous opening theme closes the exposition. The development section, led by the piano (as is most of the work; the keyboard has only six measures of rest in the entire composi-tion), deals mostly with permutations of the main theme. The recapitulation provides balance and closure by recalling earlier thematic material. The second movement is in the mode and manner of a solemn funeral march with two contrasting epi-sodes inserted. Its first intervening paragraph is a lyrical effusion for the violin and cello supported by a restless accompaniment from the inner strings and the piano. The second episode is a tempestuous passage of angry triplet rhythms that are not soothed until the lyrical melody from the earlier episode returns in a heightened state. The funeral march is heard one final time to bring the movement to a dying close. The scherzo, called by one commentator “the glorification of the scale,” is strewn with long ribbons of ascending and descending notes. Two trios—one sweet and flow-ing, the other impetuous and Gypsy-inspired—provide contrast. The finale is one of Schumann’s most masterful formal accomplishments, and begins in the shadow of defiant tragedy. Before its end, however, it achieves a soaring, life-affirming proclamation through an expertly constructed double fugue that is based on conjoined main themes of the finale and the opening movement.

The JCS Arts, Health and Education Fund of the DuPage FoundationThe Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association (CSOA) is deeply grateful to the JCS Arts, Health and Education Fund of the DuPage Foundation for its generous support of activities in DuPage County that engage thousands of students, families, and audience members. Since the 2012–13 season, the leadership support provided by the JCS Fund of the DuPage Foundation has allowed the CSOA to develop and present meaningful concerts and programming in DuPage County and Chicago’s western suburbs.

Throughout the 2018–19 season, CSOA programming in DuPage County maintains and deepens the Orchestra’s connections with audiences. Education and community engagement programs offered throughout the year—at schools and community venues across the region—complement three full-orchestra concerts at Wheaton College. These concerts have established the CSOA’s long-term, residency-style partnership with Wheaton College and the DuPage community in forthcoming seasons.

The JCS Fund of the DuPage Foundation supports music, cultural, health, educational, artistic, and other charitable organizations serving DuPage residents. For more information about the JCS Fund and its host, the DuPage Foundation, please visit dupagefoundation.org/grants/jcs-fund.html.
