Dear Friend,

This will be my fifth season as music director with this wonderful Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. The past four seasons have gone by so quickly and, as we begin this new season, I am eagerly looking forward to yet another marvelous year with you, my PSO family, and this remarkable, vibrant city I love. I feel a tremendous sense of adventure with these fantastic musicians. They are fearless and dedicated individuals and, I think, we are achieving breathtaking performances together. So I felt great joy when I was asked, and agreed, to extend my term as music director of the PSO through 2020. The past season brought much happiness and excitement. We staged a unique production of Handel’s Messiah, celebrated the music, art and culture of Paris in the early 20th century, and played at Rodef Shalom Congregation as part of our Music for the Spirit series. I was thrilled that our Exton recording of Mahler’s Fourth Symphony, featuring soprano Sunhae Im, won the prestigious Internation-al Classical Music Award (ICMA) for symphonic music. The 2012-2013 season opened with our “Year of the Dragon” gala featuring piano virtuoso Lang Lang. Highlights of the season include Mahler’s 2nd Sym-phony, Mozart’s Requiem, Strauss’ Orchestral Songs and Ein Heldenlaben, and a celebration of Verdi and Wagner. This season, we will be launching our Music for the Spirit Festival with a special Singing City concert featuring as many as 3,000 singers at the Petersen Events Center. The festival will end with a PSO performance of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, “Ode to Joy.” We will also embark on a 12-concert, eight-city European tour, which will include a four-concert residency at the famed Musikverein in Vienna. We are extremely fortunate to have Mason Bates as our Composer of the Year in 2012-2013. I am looking forward to conducting his fascinating works, including the world premiere of a violin concerto co-commissioned by the PSO. It is my sincerest wish that you enjoy the 2012-2013 BNY Mellon Grand Clas-sics season. It is very important to me that you, our beloved audience, enjoy your experience at Heinz Hall with the brilliant Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.

Sincerely,

Manfred Honeck, PSO music director

WELCOME TO THE 2012-2013 SEASON!

DEAR PSO PATRONS,Welcome to the start of the 2012-2013 BNY Mellon Grand Classics season. We have a wonderful season of music planned for you featuring phenomenal guest artists, solo performances by many of our stellar musicians, our beloved Music Director Manfred Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.

What we do would not be possible without your Annual Fund support.

If you were in Heinz Hall for the BNY Mellon Grand Classics concerts last Feb-ruary, you saw this “BIG CHECK” representing a collective gift from the musicians of the PSO to the 2011-2012 Annual Fund. The musicians promised a second “BIG CHECK” of $100,000 in support of the 2012-2013 Annual Fund which commenced on September 1, 2012. Today you saw that check being presented to the PSO.

To the musicians of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, thank you for your un-believable artistry concert after concert and for your inspiring generosity. To our patrons, thank you for your love and support of the PSO. If you are already a donor to the Annual Fund, we hope that you will make your check bigger this year. If you are not a member of our donor family, please voice your support for our musicians and artistic leadership by making a gift to the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. THANK YOU!

Sincerely,

James A. Wilkinson, President & CEO

It’s easy to make YOUR tax-deductible donation to the PSO’s Annual Fund:Online: pittsburghsymphony.org/donatePhone: 412.392.4880

Maximize the impact of your gift by making it on Wednesday October 3rd – Day of Giving 2012. All gifts between $25.00 and $10,000 made via Mastercard or Visa at www.pittsburghgives.org will qualify for a portion of the $200,000 matching pool.

PROGRAM NOTES BY DR. RICHARD E. RODDA

Franz Strauss, Richard’s father, was one of the outstanding instrumen-talists of his day. For over forty years as principal horn, he was a chief adornment of the Munich Court Orchestra, a post he held until the age of 69; he was especially renowned for the power and artistry of his so-los in Mozart’s concertos, Beethoven’s symphonies and Wagner’s op-eras. The eminent pianist and conductor Hans von Bülow dubbed him “the Joachim of the horn” (Brahms wrote his Violin Concerto for Joseph Joachim), and Wagner, whose personality and music Franz detested, grudgingly admitted, “Strauss is an unbearable fellow, but when he plays his horn, one cannot be cross with him.” Franz was also a composer, mainly of horn music, the conductor of an amateur orchestra, and a ca-pable player of guitar and viola. The sound of Franz’s horn playing was a fixture in the Strauss house-hold: it is said that Richard as a baby would coo and smile when he heard the horn, but cry at the sound of a violin. It is hardly surprising, then, that the boy wrote for the horn when his talent began to blossom. Two such early works are a song called Alphorn with horn obbligato and the In-troduction, Theme and Variations for horn and piano, both with writing difficult enough to give the young composer’s virtuoso father pause. Late in 1882, while he was a student at Munich University, Richard began a concerto for the horn, and completed it early the next year. (His Second Horn Concerto came 60 years later, in 1942.) Franz played through the work and found it filled with such difficulties that he refused to perform it in public, though he occasionally tackled the piece for family concerts. The public premiere was given in 1885 by conductor Hans von Bülow and the principal horn of his Meiningen Orchestra, Gustav Leinhos, who, Strauss assured his father, was a player of “colossal sureness,” a manda-tory virtue for any performer of this challenging Concerto. The composer could not attend, but his uncle Carl Hörburger reported that the perfor-mance was presented and received “obviously with great commitment and interest.” The First Horn Concerto was soon taken up by other per-formers, and remains the earliest of Strauss’ works in the repertory. Father Franz saw that Richard was trained strictly in the classical style of Mozart, Beethoven and Mendelssohn, with Wagner and Liszt treated more like anathema than mere composers. During the time of the First Horn Concerto, Richard shared his father’s reactionary tastes (this changed radically after 1885 — when the young musician left home) and the piece is in Strauss’ most untroubled classical vein. The Concerto opens with a brilliant fanfare-flourish from the soloist that becomes the main theme of the first movement. A more lyrical (though, for the soloist, no less demanding) section serves as a complement to the vigorous open-ing theme. A spirited orchestral tutti, gradually softening, leads without pause to the Andante, a sad, sweet song in three parts, the central section of which is marked by agitated, repeated-note figures in the accompani-

ment. The finale is a bounding rondo whose theme is a transformation of the principal melody of the opening movement. One of the first evaluations of Strauss’ music was published in 1908 by Ernest Newman, who wrote of the early instrumental works, “The impression one gets is that of a head full to overflowing with music, a temperament that is energetic and forthright rather than warm, a faculty — unusual in so young a composer — of keeping the hearer’s attention almost always engaged, and a general lack not only of young-mannish sentimentality, but of sentiment.... These works are the outcome of a definite personality, not the mere music-making of a man who has nothing of his own to say.”

The great tradition of the 19th-century German Lied came to its end with the songs of Richard Strauss. Though he wrote songs throughout his long life — his first piece, penned at age six, was a Christmas carol; his last was the magnificent Four Last Songs — he composed most of his Lieder before he turned from the orchestral genres to opera at the beginning of the 20th century. The best of Strauss’ songs are imbued with a soaring lyricism, a textural and harmonic richness, and a sensitivity to the text that place them among the most beautiful and enduring works of their type, the culmination of the most intimate musical genre of the legacy of Schubert, Schumann and Brahms. Strauss composed the Four Songs of his Op. 33, his first with orches-tra, between the summer of 1896 and the following January, the time when he completed Also sprach Zarathustra and assumed his new duties as chief conductor of the Munich Opera. Hymnus, a soaring paean to the muse of artistic creativity that closes on a somber note, sets a text by the prolific German poet, playwright and novelist Friedrich Gustav Schil-ling (1766-1839). The poem first appeared in 1789 in the literary journal Thalia (named for the ancient muse of poetry) that Friedrich Schiller pub-lished during the time he was resident playwright at Mannheim; Hymnus has often been mistakenly attributed (even by Strauss) to him.

The poems of Richard Dehmel (1863-1920), one of the most distinguished German poets at the turn of the 20th century, form a bridge between the sensuous Impressionism of the preced-ing generation and the intense spirituality of encroaching Expressionism. His verses matched well the fin-de-siècle temperament of northern European composers: Strauss, Webern, Szy-manowski and others made settings of his poems, and Schoenberg was inspired to write an opulent tone poem for string sextet by Dehmel’s Verklärte Nacht (“Transfigured Night”). In the summer of 1899, at exactly the same time Schoenberg was composing Verklärte Nacht, Strauss made an extraordinary setting of Notturno, Dehmel’s chilling vision of a dream-like encounter with Death, whose grieving song is cast upon “the breath of his violin.” Notturno, unique in Strauss’ song output in its length (eighteen minutes) and its unflinching modernity, uses some of the same avant-garde harmonic techniques later exploited in his headline-grabbing operas Salome (1905) and Elektra (1909), but their effect here is even more disturbing. In reviewing a performance by Thomas Hampson in 2003, Joshua Kosman wrote in the San Francisco Chron-icle, “Salome is entertainment, but thirty seconds into Notturno and your blood runs cold.”

Hoch hing der Mond; das Schneegefild The moon hung high; the snowy field lag bleich und öde um uns her, lay drear and desolate about us, wie meine Seele bleich und leer, as drear and empty as my soul, denn neben mir, so stumm und wild, for by my side, as mute and fierce,so stumm und kalt wie meine Not, as mute and cold as my anguish, als wollt’ er weichen nimmermehr, as if nevermore wishing to move, sass starr und wartete der Tod. sat Death, motionless and waiting.

Pilgers Morgenlied (“Pilgrim’s Morning Song”) is a passionate setting of the poem that Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) dedicated to Luise Henriette von Ziegler, a lady-in-waiting at court and one of the circle of “sensitive souls,” as he called them, with whom he associated in Darmstadt in 1772, a time when the 23-year-old writer, having fled Frankfurt after a failed attempt to practice law, referred to himself as a “pilgrim” and “wanderer.” After he left Darm-stadt to try practicing law again in Wetzlar, Goethe sent poems back to Darmstadt addressed to three ladies in his group, including the Pilgers Morgenlied, which was for “Lila,” Luise’s nick-name to her friends. Two years later Goethe established himself among the foremost European authors with the publication of The Sorrows of Young Werther.

Friedrich Rückert (1788-1866) was Professor of Oriental Literature at Erlangen and Privy Coun-selor for King Friedrich Wilhelm IV at Berlin from 1841 to 1848. Rückert was known as both a productive scholar, with many translations of texts from Persian, Arabic, Hebrew, Armenian, Ethiopian, Coptic and Sanskrit, as well as a prolific writer of poems, which inspired musical settings from such 19th-century composers as Schubert, Schumann, Marschner and Litolff. Strauss’ dramatic realization of Rückert’s Nächtlicher Gang (“Nightly March”) evokes sinister, ghostly apparitions as a lover quests for his beloved beyond the grave.

ANTONÍN DVOŘÁK

Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Opus 95, “From the New World”(1893)

When Antonín Dvořák, aged 51, arrived in New York on September 27, 1892 to direct the new National Conservatory of Music, both he and the institution’s founder, Mrs. Jeanette Thurber, expected that he would help to foster an American school of composition. He was clear and spe-cific in his assessment: “I am convinced that the future music of this country must be founded on what are called Negro melodies. They can be the foundation of a serious and original school of composition to be developed in the United States.... There is nothing in the whole range of com-position that cannot find a thematic source here.” Dvořák’s knowledge of this music came from Henry Thacker Burleigh, born in Erie, Pennsylvania in 1866, an African-American song writer and student of his who sang the traditional melodies to the enthralled composer. Burleigh later

PROGRAM NOTES BY DR. RICHARD E. RODDA

recalled, “There is no doubt that Dr. Dvořák was very deeply impressed by the Negro spirituals from the old plantation. He just saturated himself in the spirit of those old tunes, and then invented his own themes.” The “New World” Symphony was not only Dvořák’s way of pointing toward a truly American musical idiom but also a reflection of his feelings about his own country. “I should never have written the Symphony as I have,” he said, “if I hadn’t seen America,” but he added in a later letter that it was “genuine Bohemian music.” There is actually a reconciliation between these two seemingly contradictory statements, since the charac-teristics that Dvořák found in Burleigh’s indigenous American music — pentatonic (five-note) scales, modal minor keys with a lowered seventh de-gree, rhythmic syncopations, frequent returns to the central key note — are common to much folk music throughout the world, including that of his native Bohemia. Because his themes for the “New World” Symphony drew upon these cross-cultural qualities, to Americans, they sound American; to Czechs, they sound Czech. The “New World” Symphony is unified by the use of a motto theme that occurs in all four movements. This bold, striding phrase, with its arch-ing contour, is played by the horns as the main theme of the sonata-form opening movement, having been foreshadowed (also by the horns) in the slow introduction. Two other themes are used in the first movement: a sad, dance-like melody for flute and oboe that exhibits folk characteristics, and a brighter tune, with a striking resemblance to “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,“ for the solo flute. Many years before coming to America, Dvořák had encountered Longfellow’s epic poem The Song of Hiawatha, which he read in a Czech translation. The great tale remained in his mind, and he considered making an opera of it during his time in New York. That project came to nothing, but Hiawatha did have an influence on the “New World” Symphony: the second movement was inspired by the forest funeral of Minnehaha; the third, by the dance of the Indians at the feast. That the music of these move-ments has more in common with the old plantation songs than with the chants of native Americans is due to Dvořák’s mistaken belief that African-American and Indian music were virtually identical. The second movement is a three-part form (A–B–A), with a haunting English horn melody (later fitted with words by William Arms Fisher to become the folksong-spiritual “Goin’ Home”) heard in the first and last sections. The recurring motto here is pronounced by the trombones just before the return of the main theme in the closing section. The third move-ment is a tempestuous scherzo with two gentle, intervening trios providing contrast. The motto theme, played by the horns, dominates the coda. The finale employs a sturdy motive introduced by the horns and trum-pets after a few introductory measures in the strings. In the Symphony’s closing pages, the motto theme, “Goin’ Home” and the scherzo melody are all gathered up and combined with the principal subject of the finale to produce a marvelous synthesis of the entire work — a look back across the sweeping vista of Dvořák’s musical tribute to America.

////Manfred Honeck was born in Austria and stud-ied music at the Academy of Music in Vienna. An accomplished violinist and violist, he spent more than ten years as a member of the Vienna Philharmonic and the Vienna State Opera Or-chestra. It is this experience that has heavily influenced his conducting and has helped give it a distinctive stamp. Honeck was appointed the ninth Music Director of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orches-tra in January 2007, and began his tenure at the start of the 2008-2009 season. After a first extension in 2009, his contract was extended for the second time in February 2012, now through the 2019-2020 season. Following their successful European Tour in 2010 and the Eu-ropean Festival Tour 2011 with appearances at the major music festivals, such as BBC Proms, Lucerne, Grafenegg, Rheingau, Schleswig-Hol-stein or Musikfest Berlin, Honeck and the Pitts-burgh Symphony Orchestra will return to Eu-rope in October-November 2012. This year’s tour will take them to Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, Luxembourg, and Cologne, Frankfurt and Stutt-gart in Germany. During a week-long residen-cy at the Musikverein in Vienna, the orchestra will perform four concerts. Honeck’s success-ful work in Pittsburgh is captured on CD by the Japanese label Exton. So far, Mahler’s Sympho-nies Nos. 1, 3, 4 and 5, Tchaikovsky’s Sym-phony No. 5 and Richard Strauss’ Ein Helden-leben have been released to critical acclaim. Their recording of Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 has won a 2012 International Classical Music Award (ICMA). From 2007 to 2011, Honeck was Music Director of the Staatsoper Stuttgart, where he conducted premieres including Berlioz’s Les Troyens, Mozart’s Idomeneo, Verdi’s Aida, Richard Strauss’s Rosenkavalier, Poulencs Dia-logues des Carmélites and Wagner’s Lohengrin and Parsifal, as well as numerous symphonic concerts. His operatic guest appearances in-clude Semperoper Dresden, Komische Oper Berlin, Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brussels, Royal Opera of Copenhagen, the White Nights Festival in St. Petersburg and the Salzburg Fes-tival. He commenced his career as conductor of Vienna’s Jeunesse Orchestra, which he co-founded, and as assistant to Claudio Abbado

at the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra in Vi-enna. Subsequently, he was engaged by the Zurich Opera House, where he was bestowed the prestigious European Conductor’s Award in 1993. In 1996, Honeck began a three-year stint as one of three main conductors of the MDR Symphony Orchestra Leipzig and in 1997, he served as Music Director at the Norwegian National Opera in Oslo for a year. A highly successful tour of Europe with the Oslo Philharmonic marked the beginning of a close collaboration with this orchestra which consequently appointed him Principal Guest Conductor, a post he held for several years. From 2000 to 2006 he was Music Director of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra Stock-holm and served as Principal Guest Conduc-tor of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra from 2008 to 2011, a position he will resume from 2013 to 2016. As a guest conductor, Honeck has worked with major orchestras such as the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Deutsches Sym-phonie-Orchester Berlin, Gewandhausorches-ter Leipzig, Staatskapelle Dresden, Royal Con-certgebouw Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestre de Paris, Israel Philhar-monic Orchestra and the Vienna Philharmonic and in the US with the Chicago Symphony Or-chestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, National Symphony Orchestra Washington and Boston Symphony Orchestra. He is also a regular guest at the Verbier Festival. Guest engagements of the season 2012-2013 include concerts at his earlier places of activity in Stockholm and Prague, as well as appearances with other pres-tigious orchestras including Bamberg Sympho-ny, Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Accademia di Santa Cecilia Rome, the New York Philhar-monic and the Cleveland Orchestra, and his debut with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. In 2010, Honeck was awarded an hon-orary doctorate from St. Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Apart from his numer-ous tasks as conductor, he has been Artistic Di-rector of the “International Concerts Wolfegg” in Germany for more than 15 years. Honeck conducted the PSO previously this month.

////Thomas Hampson enjoys an exceptional in-ternational career as a recitalist, opera singer, and recording artist, and maintains an active interest in teaching, research, and technology. The American baritone has performed in all of the world’s most important concert halls and opera houses with many illustrious singers, pianists, conductors, and orchestras. Praised by the New York Times for his “ceaseless cu-riosity,” he is one of the most respected, in-novative, and sought-after soloists performing today. Hampson has won worldwide recogni-tion for his thoughtfully researched and cre-atively constructed programs that explore the rich repertoire of song in a wide variety of styles, languages, and periods. He is one of the most important interpreters of German Ro-mantic song, and, with his celebrated “Song of America” project (www.songofamerica.net), in partnership with the Library of Congress, he has become the “ambassador” of Ameri-can song. Through the Hampsong Foundation (www.hampsongfoundation.org), founded in 2003, he employs the art of song to promote intercultural dialogue and understanding. Hampson’s 2012-2013 season begins with concert performances of Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde with the Orchestre de la Su-isse Romande, and orchestral songs by Strauss with the Pittsburgh Symphony. His first opera engagement is with Lyric Opera of Chicago, singing the title role in Verdi’s Simon Boc-canegra – a role he will revisit later in the season at Vienna’s Konzerthaus and London’s Royal Opera House. Among other operatic highlights are the roles of Scarpia in Tosca and Wolfram in Tannhäuser at Zurich Opera; Giorgio Germont in La traviata at the Vienna State Opera; and his company debut as Iago in Otello at the Metropolitan Opera. He will also appear in a New Year’s Gala at Baden-Baden’s Festspielhaus, and in the Concertge-bouw Orchestra’s 125th Anniversary Gala. Collaborative projects include a European tour with the Wiener Virtuosen, performing songs by Mahler and Dvorák; and concerts in the U.S. with the Jupiter String Quartet, present-ing a new commission from Mark Adamo and songs by Hugo Wolf. He also returns for mas-

ter classes at the Heidelberger Frühling’s Lied Academy – of which he is the artistic director – and presents recitals with long-time collabo-rators Craig Rutenberg and Wolfram Rieger at the Grafenegg Festival and in Munich, Basel, San Francisco, and other cities. Hampson began his 2011-2012 season at San Francisco Opera, where he created the role of Rick Rescorla in the world premiere of Christopher Theofanidis’ Heart of a Soldier, an opera commemorating the 10th anniver-sary of the 9/11 attacks. His operatic engage-ments last season encompassed role debuts as Iago in Verdi’s Otello and the title role in Hindemith’s Mathis der Maler, both at Zurich Opera, and his house debut as Verdi’s Mac-beth at the Metropolitan Opera. There were concerts with the National Symphony Orches-tra, Munich Philharmonic, Los Angeles Phil-harmonic, Pittsburgh Symphony, and Israel Philharmonic, and recitals in the U.S., Spain, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. Hampson was also featured in CNN’s “Fusion Journeys” series, which took him to South Africa for a musical exchange with Ladysmith Black Mam-bazo. A highlight of the 2011-2012 season was the debut of the “Song of America” radio series, co-produced by the Hampsong Foun-dation and the WFMT Radio Network. Hosted by Hampson, this series of 13 one-hour pro-grams explores the history of American culture through song, and has aired in more than 200 U.S. markets. Hampson has received many honors and awards for his artistry and cultural leadership. His discography of more than 150 albums includes winners of a Grammy Award, five Edison Prizes, the Grand Prix du Disque and, most recently, the 2011 “Singer of the Year” ECHO Prize. Having previously received an Opera News Award, he was celebrated by the Metropolitan Opera Guild in its “Met Masters-ingers” event in 2012 and, in 2011, received the famed Concertgebouw Prize. In 2010, he was elected a member of the American Acad-emy of Arts and Sciences and was honored with the Living Legend award by the Library of Congress, where he serves as Special Advi-sor to the Study and Performance of Music in America.

////The 2012-2013 Pittsburgh Symphony Orches-tra (PSO) Season represents William Cabal-lero’s 24th year as its Principal Horn. Before joining the PSO in May 1989, Caballero previ-ously held Principal Horn positions with the Houston Symphony, Houston Grand Opera and Hartford Symphony. He held Third Horn positions with the Montreal Symphony, Mon-treal Opera, and acting Third Horn with the Boston Symphony and Boston Pops. He has also performed as guest Principal Horn with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the St. Louis Symphony. Born in New Mexico and reared in Wis-consin, Caballero’s early horn studies included working under Larry Simons, Barry Benjamin and Basil Tyler, as well as studying the piano and pipe organ. Caballero graduated from New England Conservatory in Boston where he studied with Richard Mackey and Thomas Newell, both former members of the Boston Symphony. Currently, Caballero is the Associate Teaching Professor of Horn at Carnegie Mel-lon University School of Music and chairs the Brass Department. Previously, he held teach-ing positions at Indiana University Blooming-ton, Rice University in Houston, Texas, and Duquesne University. He has been invited and presented master classes throughout the world including Northwestern University, Colburn School of Music, New England Conservatory, University of Indiana Bloomington, Cleveland Institute of Music, Curtis Institute of Music, Manhattan School of Music, New World Sym-phony, and the Beijing and Shanghai Conser-vatories. This past summer, he joined the fac-ulty of the Aspen Music Festival as performer and teacher. For the previous seven summers, Caballero was on the faculty at the Pacific Mu-sic Festival in Sapporo, Japan. In January 2012, Caballero began a col-laboration with the Internet music teaching company ArtistWorks.com based in Napa, California. With a target release date of Sep-tember 2012, Caballero’s complete horn teaching curriculum will be available on the ArtistWorks.com website for horn students worldwide. Caballero is also in demand as a cham-

ber musician collaborating with musicians such as violinists Gil Shaham, Joseph Silver-stein and Philip Setzer, and pianists Andre’ Previn, Christoph Eshenbach, Orli Shaham and Andre Watts. William has also performed and worked with jazz musician and composer Chris Brubeck, as well as ensembles that in-clude the Tokyo String Quartet, Trio Johannas, Principal Strings of the Berlin Philharmonic, Center City Brass, Bay Chamber Concert Se-ries, St. Barth’s Music Festival, and the Grand Teton Music Festival. He is also a member of the Pittsburgh Symphony Brass which includes fellow colleagues of the Pittsburgh Symphony Brass section. Recent chamber music performances in-clude performing Brahms’ Horn Trio in E-flat major with Gil and Orli Shaham in Zankel Recital Hall, Carnegie Hall, New York and ap-pearing several times live on National Public Radio’s (NPR) “Performance Today” in NPR’s Washington, D.C. studios. This is Caballero’s first appearance as soloist with Maestro Honeck performing the PSO premiere of Strauss Horn Concerto No. 1. Other solo appearances this year have includ-ed performances in Montenegro with Maestro Ronald Zollman (March 2012) and with the Carnegie Mellon Philharmonic at New York City’s Carnegie Hall under the baton of Princi-pal Horn of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Dale Clevenger. In May 1992, Caballero premiered Ben-jamin Lees’ Concerto for Horn and Orchestra with the PSO under the baton of then-Music Director Lorin Maazel. Following the per-formances in Pittsburgh, he performed Lees’ Concerto in Spain, Germany, and England with the PSO on tour. In May 1996, Caballero recorded the concerto with the PSO and Lorin Maazel for New World Records. During the PSO’s 2011 European Festi-vals Tour, Caballero – and the PSO horn sec-tion he leads – received rave reviews. Michael Church of The Independent called Caballero “a principal horn whose pianissimo is simply miraculous,” and Guy Dammann wrote in The Guardian, “The horn section – led very much from the front by their excellent prin-cipal William Caballero – is one of the best

in the business.” In its September 2012 review of the PSO’s Exton recording of Mahler’s Sym-phony No. 5, Gramophone magazine wrote, “Pittsburgh’s first horn is as spectacular as any on disc.” Other previous solo performances with the PSO have included Richard Strauss’ Horn Concerto No. 2 in E-flat with Maestro Maa-zel, Mozart’s Horn Concerto No. 2 in E-flat with Maestro André Previn, Mozart Concerto fragments with PSO Concertmaster Andrés Cárdenes, Britten’s Serenade for Tenor, Horn

and Strings with Maestro Stanislaw Skrowacze-wski and tenor, Anthony Griffey, Schumann’s Konzertstück in F, for four horns and orchestra with his PSO horn colleagues under the baton of Maestro Sir John Elliot Gardener, and the John Williams Horn Concerto under the baton of Maestro Leonard Slatkin. Caballero holds the PSO’s Anonymous Foundation Principal Horn Chair. Caballero last perfored solo with the PSO in March 2012.

LEGACY OF EXCELLENCEIn addition to income from the Annual Fund, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra is dependent on a robust Endowment to assure its financial stability. Gifts from Legacy of Excellence programs are directed to the endowment to provide for the PSO’s future. The Steinberg Society honors donors who have advised the PSO in writing that they have made a provision for the orchestra through their estate plans. Members of the Sid Kaplan Tribute program have made a planned gift to the endowment of $10,000 or more to com-memorate a particular person or event. Endowed Naming Opportunities for guest artists, musicians’ chairs, concert series, educational programs or designated spaces allow donors to specify a name or tribute for ten years, twenty years or in perpetuity. For additional information, call Jan Fleisher at 412.392.3320.
