The Chicago Symphony Orchestra Brass prepares for its annual concert on December 19.

by mike thomas

L ong celebrated for its lyricism, dynamism, and virtuosity, the brass section of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra has been a standout element of a world-class ensemble since

the days of Fritz Reiner. As a separate artistic entity, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Brass has cultivated a rock star–like follow-ing of deeply dedicated fans worldwide. Its concerts, including the annual December showcase at Symphony Center, receive boisterous ovations.

“We actually sell extra seats onstage [to the CSO Brass annual concert], so we’re a little cocky about that,” says CSO trombone Michael Mulcahy, the group’s director, with a laugh. “We’re just a small section of the Orchestra, but we have a pretty strong draw.” Along with Mulcahy, the CSO Brass consists of horns Daniel

Gingrich (acting principal), James Smelser, David Griffin, Oto Carrillo, and Susanna Gaunt; trumpets Mark Ridenour (acting prin-cipal), John Hagstrom, and Tage Larsen; trom-bones Jay Friedman (principal) and Charles

Vernon; and tuba Gene Pokorny (principal).

The origins of the CSO Brass concerts date to the early 1950s, when legendary musicians such as Adolph Herseth, Arnold Jacobs, and Frank Crisafulli formed the Chicago Symphony Brass Quintet. Members of the full section began performing stand-alone concerts in the 1970s. Since 2006, as part of the

Symphony Center Presents Special Concerts offer-ings, the CSO Brass has offered its annual show-case. Although the concerts take place around Christmas, they are not holiday-themed. Of the works on this year’s program, only Tchaikovsky’s

“ I am very honored to be part of the ensemble. The reputation of the brass section developed in the mid-1940s with Arnold Jacobs (tuba) on one end and, later, a new hire Adolph Herseth (trumpet) on the top. With malleable colleagues in the middle between these strong bookends, a formidable brass section was forged.”

“ I attended my first CSO concert in 1969. I remember climbing the stairs to the gallery and feeling very much out of place—a teenager in Orchestra Hall. Solti conducted Mahler’s Symphony no. 2 that day, and I was transported to a world where I felt I did indeed belong. As I descended those stairs, I was determined to do everything in my power to become a professional musician.”

Suite from The Nutcracker, arranged by Timothy Higgins, fits that bill.

“That’s not really our forte,” replies Mulcahy concerning holiday fare. “We belong to a very significant institution, so the program itself has to have musical and artistic integrity, as well as being engaging and enter-taining. As part of that, every program [features] music that was origi-nally written for brass, not just arranged [for these instruments].”

An example on this year’s program is Raymond Premru’s Symphony for Brass

and Percussion (1994). Premru’s distinguished career as a trombonist include his longtime membership of the Philharmonia Orchestra of London in addition to leading several jazz groups and brass ensem-bles and performing and recording with jazz and rock legends from Oscar Peterson and Ella Fitzgerald to Pink Floyd, the Rolling Stones, and the Beatles (including the iconic Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album). The sym-phony encompasses many of these brass styles and timbres with which Premru was famil-

iar as a performer and composer.Performing music by composers who are

themselves brass players has distinct advan-tages. “Sometimes young composers, in particular, will write something with no knowledge of how

any instrument works, so you can only play an approximation,” Mulcahy explains. “Whereas something like Premru’s symphony is very informed and very idi-omatic to play, but very challenging, too.”

Because the CSO Brass performs this annual concert in addition to its CSO performances,

“ Having a job in the CSO is a great honor, but it’s also tough. It’s not like winning an Olympic medal, where once you get it you’re forever seen as a champion. As a CSO musician, you have to keep demonstrating superlative skill every single week. Your commitment to excellence does not end after your audition—it’s a way of life.”

Mulcahy is ever mindful of the group’s endurance when choosing (with input from his colleagues) repertoire. The pro-gram represents a lot of extra work, he acknowledges, “and sometime it’s like, ‘Wow, we’ve got to climb this mountain again.’ But when we give this concert, when we go onstage, we [think], ‘Oh, yeah.’ This is a special atmosphere that’s not present in that way in any other forum. There is an electricity, and our audience goes pretty crazy.”

Mulcahy also knows from extensive personal experience how taxing brass instruments are to play—especially when they make up the majority of instruments onstage. “Musically speaking, we have to represent the entire pallet of the orchestra with about twenty musicians, so it’s artistically challenging,” he says, “And it’s physically challeng-ing, because we have to play all the notes. No one doubles our parts.

“The Chicago Symphony Brass is famous for dynamics and articulation,” adds Mulcahy. “The

ability to play smoothly, the ability to sing, the ability to play with great clarity and articulation, and to sustain a very smooth line are specifically hallmarks of the CSO brass section. And that tradition precedes all of us who are currently in the section.

“Anyone who plays for the Bulls knows there was a certain Michael Jordan in town in the 1990s,” Mulcahy notes, “and that [fact] will forever hover over you.” So while Mulcahy and his col-leagues are intensely present onstage, the past is never far away.

Mike Thomas, a Chicago-based writer, is the author of the books You Might Remember Me: The Life and Times of Phil Hartman and Second City Unscripted: Revolution and Revelation at the World-Famous Comedy Theater.

“ The style [of the CSO Brass] is so strong and has been well established through the years. I was lucky enough to play with Mr. [Arnold] Jacobs and Mr. [Adolph] Herseth for about thirty-five years, to learn from them, and to carry on the tradition with my colleagues.”

Civic Fellows prepare for the future by studying the past

S ince its founding in 1919 by the CSO’s second music director, Frederick Stock, the Civic Orchestra has strived to be an

ensemble that serves Chicago, offering free per-formances at Symphony Center as well as innova-tive programming in communities across the city. Throughout the orchestra’s 100 seasons of growth and evolution, its members have immersed themselves in the rich culture of Chicago’s diverse neighbor-hoods in order to ensure that Civic’s identity as an orchestra for the city endures.

CSO Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant Yo-Yo Ma inspired the founding of the Civic Orchestra Fellowship program, which launched in September 2013. Since then, the fellows have been at the forefront of Civic’s work in Chicago’s neighborhoods: teaching and mentoring young musicians, creating interactive concerts for students in schools, and designing musical projects that respond to community need.

O n a rainy Friday in early September, fifteen Civic Orchestra of Chicago Fellows crossed the street to see two exhibits at

the Art Institute of Chicago: John Singer Sargent and Chicago’s Gilded Age and Never a Lovely So Real. The first exhibit featured portraits of prom-inent Chicagoans from the turn of the twentieth century, a period when the city was striving for recognition as a center for art and culture; the second presented photography and film from 1950 to 1980 depicting a cultural history of Chicago’s

neighborhoods, many of them fiercely segregated. The dichotomy of these portrayals of Chicago was fitting for a year in which the Civic Orchestra considers its own 100-year history and its role of the city’s cultural future.

Back at Symphony Center, the fellows reflected on what they saw and considered how Chicago’s complicated sociopolitical history can inform the work they do and the art they create this season. The Civic Fellows will design musical projects that draw inspiration from the past 100 years of Chicago’s history across all of its neighbor-hoods. According to first-year Civic Fellow Juan Olivares, “It’s important that we don’t position

ourselves as the guardians of culture, but rather create work that celebrates the stories, culture, and art that already exist in this city.”

In January 2019, the Civic Fellows will create a memorized, interactive musical program that they will perform in thirteen public elementary,

middle, and high schools. The program will feature excerpts from symphonies by Florence Price, who became the first black American woman to have an orchestral work performed by a major American orches-tra with the 1933 premiere of her Symphony in E minor by the Chicago Symphony under Stock.

The fellows will also col-laborate with teaching artists from the Irene Taylor Trust, a London-based organization, to

write original songs that tell the stories of Chicago teens involved with the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice and with Chicagoans who have lost family members to gun violence.

From the Civic Orchestra of Chicago to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra: 100 seasonsSince 1919, young artists have sought membership in the Civic Orchestra of Chicago to develop their talents and prepare for careers as professional musicians. Founded by Frederick Stock, second music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Civic Orchestra is the only season-long training orchestra of its kind affiliated with a major American orchestra.

The then Civic Music Student Orchestra was intended to func-tion as a means “to reduce the dependence of this country upon European sources of supply for trained orchestral musicians” as well as a reserve from which talent could be drawn into the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Five hundred young musicians auditioned in January 1920, eighty-six were accepted, and the ensemble made its debut on March 29. Frederick Stock, assistant conductor Eric DeLamarter, and CSO violin and viola George Dasch shared conducting duties, leading works by Elgar, Godard, Grieg, Halvorsen, Keller, and Tchaikovsky in this first concert.

The Civic Orchestra’s first roster in 1919–20 included several future Chicago Symphony Orchestra members, among them cello Theodore Ratzer, hired by Stock in 1920 and a member of the sec-tion until 1957. Currently, fourteen Chicago Symphony Orchestra musicians are Civic Orchestra alumni.

The program’s unique access to the CSO through immersive experiences with its musi-cians and some of today’s most sought-after conductors—including the CSO’s Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti—helps many Civic alumni go on to prestigious professional positions. Each season there are side-by-side rehearsals, coaching sessions, mock auditions, and private lessons with CSO musicians; reading sessions with guest conductors; career development workshops; master classes with CSO guest artists as opportu-nities arise; and numerous opportunities through-out the season to play chamber music.

Civic Orchestra musicians develop as excep-tional orchestral players and engaged artists, culti-vating their ability to succeed in the rapidly evolv-ing world of music in the twenty-first century.

CSOA’s Annual Symphony Ball October 6, 2018On the evening of October 6, Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti conducted the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s annual Symphony Ball concert. The program, supported by pre-senting sponsor Northern Trust, included four of Brahms’s Hungarian Dances, Puccini’s intermezzo from Manon Lescaut, and waltzes by Josef Strauss and Johann Strauss, Jr. Described by the Chicago Tribune as “poetry on the key-board,” David Fray performed Mozart’s Piano Concerto no. 24. It was a rich evening of Austro-German and Italian musical splendor.

The night began with a champagne reception with hors d’oeuvres and performances by members of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago. After the CSO concert, Symphony Ball guests continued their evening with dinner and dancing in the Grand Ballroom of the Palmer House.

Presented by the Women’s Board of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association and chaired by Leigh Ann and Casey Herman along with co-chairs Donna L. Kendall and David E. McNeel, the gala event raised over $1.31 million for the organization. The evening also honored longtime supporters Richard and Helen Thomas with many attendees making gifts in tribute to their generosity.

On April 6, 1759, just eight days before he died, Handel appeared in public for the last time, blind and partially paralyzed by a series of strokes, to attend London’s annual performance of his Messiah. Not a year has passed without a performance of it since. Messiah has even been sung in a Zulu translation by a black choir, perform-ing with a white orchestra, at the

Pietermaritzburg City Hall in Natal, South Africa, for an enthusiastic audience that included the king of the Zulu nation.

Handel couldn’t have imagined such a fate for his oratorio—even though its annual presentation was already something of a London ritual at the end of his life—for the idea of playing music of previous generations was nearly unheard of during his lifetime. The concept of music speaking to an entirely different culture wasn’t something that would have occurred even to as worldly a man as Handel—born in Germany, trained in Italy, a resident of England, famous throughout western Europe, fluent in four languages, and exceptionally well traveled for a citizen of the eighteenth century, when most people lived and died within a few miles of their birthplace.

But Messiah was an exception—recognized as a landmark almost at once and loved more than any other piece of vocal music by generation after generation, each with its own ideas about how Handel’s music should sound. Its history followed a very different course from Bach’s Saint Matthew Passion, com-posed just fourteen years before Messiah, which was all but for-gotten after Bach’s death and waited until Mendelssohn’s famous revival in 1829—a century after the first performance—for its rediscovery.

Unlike Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony or Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring, works that today also are considered icons, Messiah was acclaimed from the start. After the public rehearsal that pre-ceded the first performance in Dublin in 1742, the local Journal reported that Messiah “was allowed by the greatest Judges to be the finest Composition of Musick that ever was heard,” an

opinion that was challenged surpris-ingly little in the years ahead (although London, Handel’s adopted hometown, was indifferent at first). Performances of Messiah quickly became a kind of sacred rite. With the 1784 presenta-tion in Westminster Abbey, which commemorated the twenty-fifth anniversary of the composer’s death and featured 261 singers, 229 orches-tral musicians, and three conduc-tors, its status as the ultimate musi-cal blockbuster—a guaranteed box office smash, an unparalleled spiritual experience—was secure. (As was the tradition of monster performances, which lasted more than a century and a half, climaxing with the 1883 pro-duction in London’s Crystal Palace with 500 orchestral players and 4,000 singers—a fashion George Bernard Shaw, a lone voice of reason at the time, dismissed as “the silly notion that big music requires big bands and choruses.”)

In 1789, Mozart made his own orchestration of Messiah “arranged for greater serviceability for our day,” as the title page explained, that is a labor of love, though also a misrepresentation of Handel’s score. No one, it seemed, was immune to Messiah. “I would uncover my head and kneel down at his tomb,” Beethoven said, when he was asked what he thought of the composer of Messiah, an appraisal confirmed by the way he emulated Handel’s “And he shall reign” fugue in the “Dona nobis pacem” of his own great Missa solemnis. Inevitably, for a work of such widespread popularity, there have been skeptics, beginning with Charles Jennens himself, who wrote, “His Messiah has disap-pointed me” after the very first performance, later admitting that Handel had made a “fine Entertainment” of the text, “tho’ not near so good

as he might & ought to have done.” Attending a later performance, Samuel Johnson chose to compose a Latin poem extolling the virtues of staying at home rather than listen, and Ezra Pound eventually wrote his own verdict, lumping together “Heer Haendel and boiled potatoes.”

M essiah was mentioned for the first time in a letter dated July 10, 1741, from Charles Jennens, who is best known today for

compiling the oratorio’s text: “Handel says he will do nothing next Winter, but I hope I shall perswade him to set another Scripture Collection I have made for him . . . The Subject is Messiah.” Handel apparently was easily persuaded, and he

composed the music—more than 250 pages of manuscript—in little more than three weeks, beginning on August 22. (The speed, the concentration of energy, and the lavishness of invention weren’t unusual for Handel—he moved on to Samson as soon as he finished Messiah, completing it a month later.)

The first performance was given not in London, where Handel had lived for nearly thirty years, but in Dublin, Ireland, during the nine months he spent there beginning in late 1741, follow-ing a disastrous London season for his operas at the box office. Handel was already popular in Dublin, and there was great interest in the con-certs he announced for the winter and spring. The climax was to come on April 13 with a new work that hadn’t yet even been performed in London—Messiah.

Anticipation was high. The concert announcement that ran in the Dublin papers requested “the Favour of the Ladies not to come with Hoops this Day,” and asked the men, like-wise, to leave their swords at home, to make room for a bigger crowd. The performance was scheduled for noon (allowing the audience to get home in time for dinner, normally served at four), and the doors opened at eleven in the morning. Denied their hoops and swords, some seven hundred Dubliners jammed Neale’s Music Hall, designed for no more than six hundred. Handel conducted from the keyboard and even played organ concertos, demonstrating his cele-brated skill at improvising, during the breaks. If

subsequent London performances are any judge, he wore his huge signature white wig, and, as Burney later reported, “when things went well at the Oratorio, it had a certain nod, or vibration, which manifested his pleasure and satisfaction.” Things apparently went very well, and Messiah found such a large and eager public with its first performance that a repeat was scheduled for June 3.

London didn’t share Dublin’s enthusiasm at first, and the performances that Handel gave there both in March 1743 and April 1745 failed to generate excitement. That all changed with the revival Handel led in 1750 to benefit the Foundling Hospital, which launched the successful series of annual charity performances that continued till the composer’s death nine years later. By then Messiah had become a tradition. In all, Handel gave thirty-six performances of his most popular work during the last seventeen years of his life, making adjustments of various kinds—vocal lines rewritten and arias transposed to suit different

singers, entirely new pieces added—nearly every time.

Messiah is unique, even in Handel’s output. Unlike traditional oratorios, it has no dramatic characters. The story, as pieced together by Jennens (drawing texts from the Old Testament and from the Book of Common Prayer, the ser-vice book of the Church of England), is told by an anonymous narrator. This distance from the action is underlined by Handel’s decision, unique in his oratorios, to divide the music into “parts” rather than “acts.” (The texts were so famil-iar that Handel’s listeners all knew the words by heart—forging a rare bond with the audi-ence that finds its ultimate expression in today’s do-it-yourself performances.)

T he musical glories of Messiah are often unconventional (although our familiarity with the score tends to distort our sense

of what was the norm). There are many unusual touches: the opening recitative, “Comfort ye my people,” so melodic and richly accompanied that it sounds like an aria; the aria “O thou that tellest good tidings,” in which the traditional repeat of the main section is hijacked by the full chorus, to thrilling effect; a duet, “He shall feed His Flock,” in which the two voices never sing together, or even in alternation, but successively, with the soprano

magically taking over from the mezzo-soprano at the moment the text shifts from Isaiah to Saint Matthew.

The arias range from the grand (“The trumpet shall sound”) to the deeply introspective (“He was despised”), and often demand opera-house virtuosity. There’s an unusual amount of music for the chorus in Messiah—more than in any other Handel oratorio except Israel in Egypt—although the subtlety, imagination, and variety of Handel’s choral writing has long been overshadowed by the brilliant “Hallelujah” that ends part 2. (The habit of standing for this number was begun by King George II at one of the first London performances, although it has been suggested that he was merely confused about the time of the next intermission.)

In his will, Handel left his set of Messiah performing parts to the Foundling Hospital in London, which had already benefited consider-ably from the composer’s annual performances there, in the hope that their Messiah tradition would continue. They are now in the library of the Thomas Coram Foundation, the successor to the hospital. And Messiah itself has become an institution.

Matthew Halls Conductor

These concerts mark Matthew Halls’s debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

The word “versatile” is an apt description for British conductor Matthew Halls. He first came to prominence as a keyboard player and early music conductor, but is now better known for his dynamic and intelligent work with major symphony orchestras

and opera companies, and for his probing and vibrant interpretations of music of all periods.

Increasingly in demand by North American symphony orchestras, Halls has performed with the Cleveland and Philadelphia orchestras; the Dallas, Pittsburgh, Houston, Seattle, Indianapolis, and Utah symphony orchestras; Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra; and the National Arts Centre Orchestra in Ottawa. He also led Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony in his debut with the Toronto Symphony. Having served as artistic director of the Oregon Bach Festival for five years, Halls is equally at home conducting baroque and contemporary repertoire.

In the 2018-19 season, Halls’s North American guest appearances include returns

to the St. Louis, Dallas, and Indianapolis symphony orchestras and the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. In addition, he conducts the San Diego and Jacksonville symphony orchestras as well as the Handel and Haydn Society in Boston. Last season, he made his New York debut at Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart Festival in a performance with violinist Joshua Bell.

In recent seasons, Halls has performed in Australia with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, and the Auckland Philharmonia. His is a regular guest with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, having recently presented a series of five perfor-mances of all of Beethoven’s piano concertos with pianist Paul Lewis. Recent European appearances include the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, the Warsaw Philharmonic, Mozarteum Salzburg, the South Netherlands Philharmonic, and Capriccio Baroque Orchestra.

Matthew Halls is represented on disc by Handel’s Parnasso in festa, winner of the Stanley Sadie Handel Recording Prize, released by Hyperion. On Linn Records, he has recorded a set of four of Bach’s harpsichord concertos con-ducted from the keyboard, which Gramophone praised; Bach’s Easter and Ascension oratorios; as well as award-winning discs of Purcell’s Sonatas in Three and Four Parts.

American tenor Nicholas Phan is increasingly recognized as an artist of distinction. With an incredibly diverse repertoire that ranges from Claudio Monteverdi to Nico Muhly and beyond, he performs regularly with the world’s

leading orchestras and opera companies. Phan is also an avid recitalist and a passionate advocate for art song and vocal chamber music; in 2010, he cofounded Collaborative Arts Institute of Chicago, an organization devoted to promoting this underserved repertoire.

Phan once again launched his new season in Chicago, curating CAIC’s seventh annual Collaborative Arts Festival. Other highlights of his 2018–19 season include two role debuts: Eumolpus in Stravinsky’s Perséphone with the San Francisco Symphony and Michael Tilson Thomas; and the title role in Handel’s Jephtha with Boston Baroque and Martin Pearlman. The title role in Bernstein’s Candide, with the Israel Philharmonic and Marin Alsop, marks his

debut in Israel. In addition to three programs with the San Francisco Symphony, he returns to major orchestras across the country, including the Dallas and St. Louis symphony orchestras. A celebrated recording artist, Phan is heard on two albums this season: the recently released recording of Berlioz’s Romeo and Juliet with the San Francisco Symphony and Tilson Thomas and the forthcoming disc of Handel’s Joseph and His Brethren with Nicholas McGegan and Philharmonia Baroque.

Nicholas Phan’s most recent solo album, Illuminations, was released on Avie Records in April 2018.

Joshua Hopkins Baritone

These concerts mark Joshua Hopkins’s debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

Chosen by Opera News as one of twenty-five artists poised to break out and become a major force in the coming decade, Canadian baritone Joshua Hopkins has been critically hailed. In the 2018–19 season, he makes his San Francisco

Opera debut as Harry Bailey in Jake Heggie and Gene Scheer’s It’s a Wonderful Life. He also revisits the role of Valentin in Faust with Washington National Opera in Washington (D.C.). Role debuts this season include Dr. Malatesta in Don Pasquale with Pittsburgh Opera, as well as the title role in Billy Budd with Central City Opera. Concert engagements include Handel’s Messiah with the San Francisco Symphony and Jane Glover and Haydn’s Creation with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra under Matthew Halls.

Hopkins’s past engagements include his European concert debut with the Principality of Asturias Symphony Orchestra in Spain perform-ing Lieberson’s Songs of Love and Sorrow, Bach’s Magnificat with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s under

Robert Spano at Carnegie Hall in New York, and both Nielsen’s Symphony no. 3 and Mozart’s Mass in C minor with the New York Philharmonic and Alan Gilbert. Hopkins toured North America with Les Violons du Roy and Bernard Labadie in Bach’s Christmas Oratorio and Handel’s Messiah in Quebec, Montreal, Los Angeles, and at Carnegie Hall. He has also performed and recorded Bach’s Saint John Passion with Portland Baroque and Arion Baroque orchestras. He has sung Messiah with many ensembles across North America, including the San Francisco Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, National Arts Centre Orchestra in Ottawa, and the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington (D.C.).

Additional highlights include his debut with the Cleveland Orchestra led by Vladimir Ashkenazy in performances of Grieg’s incidental music to Peer Gynt, Handel’s Dettingen Te Deum with the San Francisco Symphony, Mozart’s Magic Flute with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra led by Bernard Labadie, and Brahms’s Requiem with Hans Graf and the Houston Symphony and later at Baldwin Wallace University’s Eighty-fifth Bach Festival.

Joshua Hopkins also made debuts with the New World Symphony in an all-Schumann program under Michael Tilson Thomas and the Hamburg and Baltimore symphony orchestras as Dr. Pangloss in Bernstein’s Candide conducted by Jeffrey Tate and Marin Alsop, respectively.

Chicago Symphony Chorus

The Chicago Symphony Chorus celebrated its sixtieth anniversary in 2017–18. Led by chorus director and conductor Duain Wolfe since 1994, the ensemble performs regularly with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in Orchestra Hall and at the Ravinia Festival.

The history of the Chorus began in 1957, when sixth music director Fritz Reiner invited Margaret Hillis to establish a chorus to equal the quality of the Orchestra. Hillis accepted the challenge and the Chicago Symphony Chorus debuted in March and April 1958, in Mozart’s Requiem under Bruno Walter and Verdi’s Requiem under Reiner.

Hillis served the Chorus for thirty-seven years, until her retirement in 1994; ninth music director Daniel Barenboim appointed Wolfe as her succes-sor in June of that year.

The Chorus frequently performs under music director Riccardo Muti as well as guest conductors. Highlights of 2018–19 include Mozart’s Requiem and Verdi’s Aida in concert at season’s end.

The Chorus first performed in Carnegie Hall in 1967 in Henze’s Muses of Sicily and Ravel’s Daphnis and Chloe under seventh music director Jean Martinon, and most recently in 2015 with Riccardo Muti for Scriabin’s Prometheus and Prokofiev’s Alexander Nevsky. Touring interna-tionally with the Orchestra, the Chorus traveled

to London and Salzburg in 1989 with Sir Georg Solti for performances of Berlioz’s The Damnation of Faust and to Berlin in 1999 with Barenboim for Brahms’s A German Requiem and Pierre Boulez for Schoenberg’s Moses and Aron.

World premieres featuring the Chorus have included Ned Rorem’s Goodbye My Fancy, John Harbison’s Four Psalms, and Bernard Rands’s apókryphos. The Chorus has collaborated with visiting orchestras including the Berlin Philharmonic under Claudio Abbado, the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Seiji Ozawa, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra with Zubin Mehta, and the Staatskapelle Berlin under Barenboim.

Since first recording commercially in 1959—Prokofiev’s Alexander Nevsky under Reiner—the Chorus has amassed a discography that includes hallmarks of the choral repertoire and several complete operas. The Chorus most recently received a 2010 Grammy Award for Best Choral Performance for Verdi’s Requiem, led by Riccardo Muti on CSO Resound. The Chorus has received an additional nine Grammy awards for Best Choral Performance for Verdi’s Requiem, Beethoven’s Missa solemnis, Brahms’s A German Requiem, Berlioz’s The Damnation of Faust, Haydn’s The Creation, and Bach’s Mass in B minor with Solti; Brahms’s Requiem and Orff ’s Carmina Burana with James Levine; and Bartók’s Cantata profana with Boulez.

The Chorus has appeared on two movie soundtracks with the Orchestra: Fantasia 2000 led by Levine and John Williams’s score for Lincoln, conducted by the composer. Recordings on CSO Resound featuring the Chorus include Mahler’s Second and Third symphonies, Poulenc’s Gloria, and Ravel’s Daphnis and Chloe under Bernard Haitink; and Berlioz’s Lélio, Verdi’s Otello, and most recently Schoenberg’s Kol Nidre under Riccardo Muti.

Duain Wolfe Chorus Director and Conductor

Now in his twenty-fifth season as director of the Chicago Symphony Chorus, Duain Wolfe has prepared over 150 programs for concerts in Orchestra Hall and at the Ravinia Festival, as well as many works for commercial recordings.

Wolfe also directs choral works at the Aspen Music Festival and the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, and he is founder-director of the Colorado Symphony Chorus (now in its thirty-fifth season), a position he maintains along with his Chicago Symphony Chorus post.

Winner of two Grammy awards in 2010 (Best Choral Performance and Best Classical Album) for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s recording of Verdi’s Requiem with Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti, in 2012 Wolfe received the Michael Korn Founders Award from Chorus America in recognition of his contributions to the professional choral arts. He also prepared the Chicago Symphony Chorus for the Grammy Award–winning recording of Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg with Sir Georg Solti, and for the CSO Resound release of Verdi’s Otello conducted by Riccardo Muti.

Well known for his work with children, Wolfe is conductor laureate of the Colorado Children’s

Chorale, an organization that he founded and conducted for twenty-five years. Also active in opera, he served as conductor of the Central City Opera Festival for twenty years.

Among the many performances for which Wolfe has prepared the Chicago Symphony Chorus are Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony; Cherubini’s Requiem; Brahms’s A German Requiem; Orff ’s Carmina Burana; Verdi’s Requiem, Otello, Macbeth, and Falstaff; and Schoenberg’s Kol Nidre with Alberto Mizrahi as narrator, recorded during performances in Orchestra Hall in 2012 and recently released on CSO Resound—all conducted by Riccardo Muti. World premieres include John Harbison’s Four Psalms and Bernard Rands’s apókryphos, both commissioned by the CSO.

Wolfe prepared the Chicago Symphony Chorus for its most recent Carnegie Hall perfor-mances of Scriabin’s Prometheus and Prokofiev’s Alexander Nevsky in 2015, under Riccardo Muti, as well as Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with the Staatskapelle Berlin in 2000 with Daniel Barenboim. He also prepared the Chorus for performances of Schoenberg’s Moses and Aron (led by Pierre Boulez) and Brahms’s A German Requiem (led by Barenboim) at the Berlin Festtage in 1999.

Duain Wolfe’s activities have earned him an honorary doctorate and numerous awards, including the Bonfils Stanton Award in the Arts and Humanities and the Colorado Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts.

39G one hundred twenty-eighth season

Now celebrating its 128th season, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently hailed as one of the world’s leading orchestras. In September 2010, renowned Italian conductor Riccardo Muti became its tenth music director. His vision for the Orchestra—to deepen its engagement with the Chicago community, to nurture its legacy while supporting a new generation of musicians, and to collaborate with visionary artists—signals a new era for the institution.

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s distin-guished history began in 1889, when Theodore Thomas, then the leading conductor in America and a recognized music pioneer, was invited by Chicago businessman Charles Norman Fay to establish a symphony orchestra here. Thomas’s aim to establish a permanent orchestra with performance capabilities of the highest quality was realized at the first concerts in October 1891. Thomas served as music director until his death in 1905—just three weeks after the dedication of Orchestra Hall, the Orchestra’s permanent home designed by Daniel Burnham.

Frederick Stock, recruited by Thomas to the viola section in 1895, became assistant conductor in 1899, and succeeded the Orchestra’s founder. His tenure lasted thirty-seven years, from 1905 to 1942—the longest of the Orchestra’s music direc-tors. Dynamic and innovative, the Stock years saw the founding of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, the first training orchestra in the United States affiliated with a major symphony orchestra, in 1919. Stock also established youth auditions, orga-nized the first subscription concerts especially for children, and began a series of popular concerts.

Three distinguished conductors headed the Orchestra during the following decade: Désiré Defauw was music director from 1943 to 1947; Artur Rodzinski assumed the post in 1947–48; and Rafael Kubelík led the ensemble for three seasons from 1950 to 1953. The next ten years belonged to Fritz Reiner, whose recordings with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra are still considered per-formance hallmarks. It was Reiner who invited Margaret Hillis to form the Chicago Symphony Chorus in 1957. For the five seasons from 1963 to 1968, Jean Martinon held the position of music director.

Sir Georg Solti, the Orchestra’s eighth music director, served from 1969 until 1991. He then held the title of music director laureate and

returned to conduct the Orchestra for several weeks each season until his death in September 1997. Solti’s arrival launched one of the most successful musical partnerships of our time, and the CSO made its first overseas tour to Europe in 1971 under his direction, along with numerous award-winning recordings.

Daniel Barenboim was named music director designate in January 1989, and he became the Orchestra’s ninth music director in September 1991, a position he held until June 2006. His tenure was distinguished by the opening of Symphony Center in 1997, highly praised oper-atic productions at Orchestra Hall, numerous appearances with the Orchestra in the dual role of pianist and conductor, twenty-one international tours, and the appointment of Duain Wolfe as the Chorus’s second director.

From 2006 to 2010, Bernard Haitink held the post of principal conductor, the first in CSO his-tory. Pierre Boulez’s long-standing relationship with the CSO led to his appointment as principal guest conductor in 1995. He was named Helen Regenstein Conductor Emeritus in 2006, a posi-tion he held until his death in January 2016. Only two others have served as principal guest conduc-tors: Carlo Maria Giulini, who began to appear in Chicago regularly in the late 1950s, was named to the post in 1969, serving until 1972; Claudio Abbado held the position from 1982 to 1985.

In January 2010, Yo-Yo Ma was appointed the CSO’s Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant by Riccardo Muti. In this role, he part-ners with Muti, staff, and musicians to provide program development for the Negaunee Music Institute at the CSO.

Mead Composer-in-Residence Missy Mazzoli was appointed by Riccardo Muti and begins her two-year term this fall. In addition to composing, she curates the contemporary MusicNOW series.

Since 1916, recording has been a signifi-cant part of the Orchestra’s activities. Current releases on CSO Resound, the Orchestra’s inde-pendent recording label, include the Grammy Award–winning release of Verdi’s Requiem led by Riccardo Muti. Recordings by the CSO have earned sixty-two Grammy awards from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.

The Pauls FoundationThrough its mission to support arts organizations with funding that makes a marked difference in their ability to offer programming to people in Chicago and beyond, The Pauls Foundation strives to reach as many organiza-tions as possible whose work has a significant and meaningful impact through the arts. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association appreciates the opportunity to partner with the foundation in support of advanced music studies and professional development for Civic Orchestra of Chicago musicians. This season, The Michael G. Woll Fund at The Pauls Foundation supports five Civic Fellows: Devin Gossett, Bryant Millet, Lucas Steidinger, Renee Vogen, and Kelsey Williams.

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association and the Civic Orchestra of Chicago thank The Pauls Foundation for its generosity and commitment to supporting the next generation of classical musicians.
