To make a gift, visit cso.org/makeagift or call 312-294-3100.

We are pleased to welcome you to Symphony Center during this festive time of year, and delighted that so many choose to celebrate the season with music. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, and artists on the Symphony Center Presents series give us the gift of music performed at the highest level year round, and for this we are truly grateful.

In early January, Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti leads the Orchestra on its sixty-second international tour, this time to Cologne, Vienna, Luxembourg, Paris, Naples, Florence, Milan, and Lugano to present works by Mendelssohn, Dvořák, Prokofiev, and Hindemith. The tour also includes two performances of Verdi’s Requiem at the Musikverein in Vienna as part of a series of special concerts honoring that venerable hall’s 150th anniversary. It is a great pleasure to see our beloved orchestra greeted with enthusiasm at home and abroad.

Thanks to the support of over 10,000 donors who contribute to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association each season, the CSO continues to serve as a cultural ambassador for the city of Chicago. We very much hope that you consider supporting the CSOA by making a gift to the Annual Fund, enabling you to become an integral part of our ongoing pursuit of artistic excellence, the devel-opment of new audiences, innovative education and community programs, and sharing music with audiences in Chicago and around the world. Your support also ensures that the important work of the CSOA continues for generations to come.

On behalf of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Chorus, Civic Orchestra of Chicago, Negaunee Music Institute, our trustees, volunteers, administration, and above all, the many people whose lives are enriched each year through music, we thank you for your support.

We send our warmest wishes for a music-filled, happy, and healthy new year and look forward to seeing you at Symphony Center soon.

No. 2: World PremieresIntroducing new music to CSO audiences has been an important part of Riccardo Muti’s artistic legacy as music director. With the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, he has conducted twelve world premieres to date by CSO Mead Composers-in-Residence and distinguished American and international composers. He will conduct two new CSO commissions during the spring of 2020. Many of these commissions have been concertos featuring members of the Orchestra, reflecting Muti’s great confidence in their abilities

as soloists. Having studied composition himself for ten years, Muti has the utmost respect for composers: “I approach music of the classical period—baroque, modern, romantic, contemporary—always in the same way, with the same seriousness,” he says. “The moment of truth comes when what the composer has sought is coming to life in the performance.”

Bernard Rands’s Danza Petrificada received its world premiere on May 5, 2011. Muti and the Orchestra took the work on tour to Europe, to cities including Lucerne, Salzburg, Luxembourg, Paris, and Vienna, the following summer.

The CSO’s music director position is endowed in perpetuity by a generous gift from the Zell Family Foundation. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is grateful to Bank of America for its generous support as the Maestro Residency Presenter.

On January 30, 2014, Riccardo Muti conducted Giovanni Sollima’s Antidotum Tarantulae XXI, Concerto for Two Cellos and Orchestra, with the then Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant Yo-Yo Ma and the composer as soloists. The idea for the commission came from both Muti and Ma. Muti was already familiar with

Sollima’s music, having commissioned and premiered two earlier works by the composer: Tempeste e ritratti at the Teatro alla Scala in 2001, and Passiuni at the Ravenna Festival in 2008.

Pulitzer Prize–winning composer Jennifer Higdon recalled Muti’s con-cise advice to her when she received her commission for the CSO’s low brass section: “ ‘Write these guys a good concerto.’ I said, ‘Yes, sir!’ ” Muti conducted the premiere of Higdon’s Low Brass Concerto on February 1, 2018, and then took the work on tour, performing it in New York at Carnegie Hall; in Naples and West Palm Beach, Florida; and Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

CSO Viola Max Raimi’s score, composed at the request of Riccardo Muti, was specifically written for his colleagues in the Orchestra. Raimi was acutely aware, as he was composing the pages of his Three Lisel Mueller Settings, of creating music for the people who sit around him day after day in rehearsal and in concerts. Each movement featured a different colleague, including Principal Clarinet Stephen Williamson, Principal Bassoon Keith Bunke, and Principal Bass Alexander Hanna. Muti conducted the premiere with the CSO and mezzo-soprano soloist Elizabeth DeShong on March 22, 2018.

6 CSO.ORG

me ad composers-in-residenceIn October 2009, Riccardo Muti, then music director designate, outlined several initiatives for his tenure. One of them was to appoint CSO Mead Composers-in-Residence who would act as advocates within the Chicago community to further the understanding and appreciation of all music. He named Mason Bates and Anna Clyne to two-year terms beginning in 2010, which were later extended through the 2014–15 season. In 2015, he appointed Samuel Adams and Elizabeth Ogonek to three-year residencies. During their time with the CSO, each of the composers had multiple works conducted by Muti, including CSO commissions, bringing these emerging composers to international attention. In 2018, Muti appointed Missy Mazzoli, whose CSO-commissioned work Orpheus Undone receives its world premiere with Muti and the Orchestra in April 2020.

In addition to writing her CSO commission, Missy Mazzoli curates the CSO’s MusicNOW series. She is seen here performing her arrangement of music by Meredith Monk, entitled Passage, What Does It Mean?, with CSO musicians at the May 20, 2019, MusicNOW concert.

Two CSO Resound releases feature CSO-commissioned works by Mead Composers-in- Residence Anna Clyne and Mason Bates conducted by Muti and performed live by the CSO. The first includes Bates’s Alternative Energy and Clyne’s Night Ferry. The second record-ing is of Bates’s Anthology of Fantastic Zoology, which was dedicated to Muti at the conclu-sion of the composer’s residency.

No. 3: Concertos with Orchestra MembersRiccardo Muti has an exceptional bond with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. In an interview with Scholar-in-Residence and Program Annotator Phillip Huscher last season, Muti noted that when he returned to conduct the CSO in 2007, “the way they responded to my musical ideas and the sense of family that we immediately created together pushed me to accept this very prestigious commitment.” One way of showing his great respect for their talents has been to invite members of the Orchestra to perform con-certos at Orchestra Hall and on tour. Moreover, as was noted earlier, many of these concertos have been CSO commissions. Here are some highlights from the nearly twenty works featuring CSO members as soloists that Muti has conducted during his tenure.

“We’re the luckiest musicians on the planet to be in the CSO and to have him as the music director. There’s nothing like it anywhere; there’s nothing like him anywhere. With this unit, everything is at the highest possible level. I’m confident that, with him, this piece is going to be a hit,” said CSO Bass Trombone Charles Vernon in preparation for the world premiere of Higdon’s Low Brass Concerto on February 1, 2018.

World Premiere by Mason Bates Blends Music and Digital Animation

I t has been more than twenty years since the Chicago Symphony Orchestra teamed up with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and the gang

to provide the soundtrack to Walt Disney’s Fantasia 2000, for which the CSO earned a Grammy Award nomination. The CSO will again cross paths with cutting-edge technology in the world premiere and CSO co-commission of Mason Bates’s Philharmonia Fantastique: The Making of the Orchestra. Bates, the CSO’s Mead Composer-in-Residence from 2010 to 2015, cocreated the piece with award-winning writer and director Gary Rydstrom and story artist and

animator Jim Capobianco. This program will run as part of the CSO School and Family Concerts series, March 26–28, 2020, under the direction of Edwin Outwater.

The commission is in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CSO’s series for children that began during the 1919–20 season, established by the Orchestra’s second music director, Frederick Stock. This program-ming continues today along with other exten-sive educational and community-engagement programming produced by the Negaunee Music Institute.

NEGAUNEE MUSIC INSTITUTE AT THE CSO

Philharmonia Fantastique is a concerto for orchestra and animation with kinetic, cutting- edge, multimedia work that integrates film and prerecorded sound with live performance. The collaboration between the piece’s creators—innovators in the worlds of music, storytelling, and animation, respectively—similarly demon-strates this groundbreaking intersection of artistic disciplines. Bates’s work “flies inside musical instruments to explore the age-old connection of creativity and technology,” said the composer, “and the centennial of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s education programs is the perfect launching point for this multimedia work.”

In the new piece, an energetic, colorful sprite leads the audience on a tour through the music, taking listeners inside the instruments of the orchestra, exploring how individual instruments produce a sound, and how they work together in an ensemble. The story unfolds through music and visuals alone, creating a piece free of language barriers, accessible, and entertaining for audi-ences of all ages.

“The CSOA is very pleased to continue our relationship with Mason Bates through this new commission,” said CSOA President Jeff Alexander. “Mason is one of the most singular and creative voices in orchestral music today, and he is gifted with a collaborative spirit and a pas-sion for education and innovation. Philharmonia Fantastique presents a wonderful opportunity to welcome a new generation of listeners into the inspiring world of orchestral music, and we look forward to sharing this music with our audiences.”

“Discovering the music of Mason Bates during his time with the CSO was so joyful,” said Helen Zell, CSOA Board Chair and sponsor of the CSO commission. “His music takes audiences on jour-neys of the imagination, and I look forward to the ways that his new work will engage listeners.”

Philharmonia Fantastique: The Making of the Orchestra is co-commissioned by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and National Symphony Orchestra. The CSO commission is made possible through the generous support of Helen Zell.

Mason Bates currently serves as the first composer-in-residence of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. His opera The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs premiered at the Santa Fe Opera in 2017; the live recording of that production was recognized with Best Opera Recording at the 2019 Grammy Awards telecast.

Writer and director Gary Rydstrom has been nomi-nated for eighteen Academy awards, winning seven for his work in sound and sound editing in films, including Jurassic Park, Titanic, and Saving Private Ryan. Story artist and animator Jim Capobianco has worked on many major animated films, including The Lion King, Fantasia 2000, Finding Nemo, and Inside Out. He received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay for Ratatouille.

CSO School and Family Concerts, presented by the Negaunee Music Institute, engage approximately 40,000 audience members each season. These affordable and age-appropriate concerts feature the extraordinary musicians of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to inspire the next generation of audience members and music lovers.

CSOA’s Annual Symphony Ball September 21, 2019

O n the evening of September 21, Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti conducted the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s annual Symphony Ball concert. The program,

supported by presenting sponsor Northern Trust, included a rousing program featuring music by Verdi and Suppé, as well as Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet, Fantasy-Overture after Shakespeare. “A pianist of magisterial elegance, power and insight” (The New York Times), Leif Ove Andsnes performed Grieg’s magnificent Piano Concerto in A minor.

Gala patrons enjoyed a bustling preconcert reception, with full bar and hors d’oeuvres in Buntrock Hall. Red-carpet experience, photo wall, and performances by members of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago were presented on Michigan Avenue to welcome all concert attendees to Orchestra Hall.

The Women’s Board of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association proudly presented this year’s ball, “An Evening of Romance, Revelry, and Artistry,” utilizing the style of the Italian Renaissance. The event, co-chaired by Mimi Murley and Leslie Henner Burns and Trustee co-chair Terrence Truax, raised nearly $1.5 million for the organization.

These are the first Chicago Symphony Orchestra subscription concert performances.

Today, it doesn’t seem unlikely that a composer with as presidential a name as John Adams would write an opera about Richard Nixon. But in 1987 Nixon in China was a shocker: a boldly colored, minimalist opera about a recent U.S. president and a controversial living figure. It earned Adams a sure place in operatic history and jump-started his career.

Early on, Adams was attracted to the stripped-down purity of the minimalist landmarks. (He became a convert in 1974, when he heard Steve Reich and Musicians perform Reich’s Drumming—ninety minutes of musings on a single twelve-beat rhythmic pattern.) A generation younger than Reich and Philip Glass, the composers most identified with the movement, Adams quickly began to move beyond pure minimalism. His own works borrowed the repetitive language and insistent primary-color harmonies, but almost from the start, Adams was trying to say more complicated things. (He once said, famously, “I’m a mini-malist who is bored with minimalism.”)

Adams is one of the few composers to have made the transi-tion from minimalism to an individual, not-easy-to-categorize style. In an early composition like the softly undulating Shaker Loops for strings (1978), Adams used what he found most appealing in the minimalist vocabulary: “a sure and fleet sense of pulsation, generously unfolding fields of harmony and timbre, and gradually evolving musical architectures.” But the character-istic shimmering woodwind figures and rippling piano arpeg-gios of Grand Pianola Music, a major score composed in 1982, are merely the backdrop for a big romantic tune, Beethovenian cadences, gospel harmonies, Valhalla brass, banging drums, and a bracing shot of over-the-top vulgarity. Even though Adams quickly tired of minimalism, he still said that it was “the only really interesting important stylistic development” of the late twentieth century—“As much as people would like to deny it, it is responsible for a revolution in music.”

One night in 1982, at a performance of Shaker Loops, Adams met the director Peter Sellars, who had just finished reading Nixon’s memoirs, and the idea for Nixon in China was born. The opera opened in 1987, and, although it divided the critics, it immediately struck a nerve with the public. Nixon in China

drew a great deal of attention, partly because its main characters were famous living people (it covers Nixon’s three-day visit to Beijing in February 1972), and it left an indelible impres-sion. Nixon in China has since played to sold-out houses around the world (although Nixon himself never did see it), making Adams a celebrity, a condition for which he, like most composers, was quite unprepared. (At the time, he was featured in People magazine, alongside Dolly Parton and Indira Gandhi.)

Adams’s subsequent work has enriched the minimalist vocabulary almost beyond recogni-tion, although traces of its hallmarks continue to make appearances in his scores. But Nixon in China is still his watershed score, and one of the few landmarks in music from the last decades of the twentieth century.

John Adams on The Chairman Dances

T he Chairman Dances was an “outtake” of act 3 of Nixon in China. Neither an “excerpt” nor a “fantasy on themes from,” it was

in fact a kind of warmup for embraking on the creation of the full opera. At the time, 1985, I was obliged to fulfill a long-delayed commission for the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, but having

already seen the scenario to act 3 of Nixon in China, I couldn’t wait to begin work on that piece. So The Chairman Dances began as a “foxtrot” for Chairman Mao and his bride, Chiang Ch’ing, the fabled “Madame Mao,” firebrand, revolutionary executioner, architect of China’s calamitous Cultural Revolution, and (a fact not universally realized) a former Shanghai movie actress. In the surreal final scene of the opera, she interrupts the tired formalities of a state banquet,

disrupts the slow-moving protocol, and invites the Chairman, who is present only as a gigantic forty-foot portrait on the wall, to “come down, old man, and dance.” The music takes full cog-nizance of her past as a movie actress. Themes, sometimes slinky and sentimental, at other times bravura and bounding, ride above in bustling fabric of energized motives. Some of these themes make a dreamy reappearance in act 3 of the actual opera, en revenant [returning], as both the Nixons and Maos reminisce over their distant pasts. A scenario by Peter Sellars and Alice Goodman, somewhat altered from the final one in Nixon in China, is as follows:

Chiang Ch’ing, a.k.a. Madame Mao, has gatecrashed the Presidential Banquet. She is first seen standing where she is most in the way of the waiters. After a few minutes, she brings out a box of paper lanterns and hangs them around the hall, then strips down to a cheongsam, skin-tight from neck to ankle and slit up the hip. She signals the orchestra to play and begins dancing by herself. Mao is becoming excited. He steps down from his portrait on the wall, and they begin to foxtrot together. They are back in Yenan, dancing to the gramophone. . . .

Stravinsky did not trust virtuosos. “In order to succeed they are obliged to seek immedi-ate triumphs,” he once wrote, “and to lend themselves to the wishes of the public, the great majority of whom demand sensational effects from the player.” Stravinsky was not eager to compose a violin concerto when the music publisher Willy Strecker first suggested that he write something for

Samuel Dushkin, a remarkable young violinist. He was particu-larly skeptical since he had never met Dushkin or heard him play. Only later did Stravinsky admit that he was also worried because he could not play the violin himself.

“I hesitated at first,” Stravinsky wrote in his Chronicle, “because I am not a violinist and I was afraid that my slight knowledge of that instrument would not be sufficient to enable me to solve the many problems which would necessarily arise in the course of a major work specially composed for it.” Strecker assured the composer that Dushkin would always be available to advise him on technical matters. Still uncertain, Stravinsky consulted Paul Hindemith, who said that Stravinsky’s inexperience might be a blessing in disguise, since it “would give rise to ideas which would not be suggested by the familiar movement of the fingers.” Stravinsky finally agreed to Strecker’s proposal, but he did his homework anyway: he carefully studied all the great classical vio-lin concertos before he wrote a note of his own.

Stravinsky and Dushkin met early in 1931 in Wiesbaden, in Willy Strecker’s house, and hit it off immediately. Stravinsky found Dushkin exceptionally musical and down-to-earth; Dushkin was surprised that the notorious composer was unassuming and affec-tionate. Stravinsky began to compose almost at once. That winter, he and Dushkin met for lunch in Paris. “Stravinsky took out a piece of paper,” Dushkin remembered,

. . . and wrote down this chord and asked me if it could be played. I had never seen a chord with such an enormous stretch, from the E to the top A, and I said “No.” Stravinsky said sadly “Quel dommage” (What a pity). After I got home, I tried it, and, to my astonishment, I found that in that register, the stretch of the eleventh was relatively easy to play and the

sound fascinated me. I tele-phoned Stravinsky at once to tell him that it could be done. When the concerto was finished, more than six months later, I understood his disappointment when I first said “No.” This chord, in a different dress, begins each of the four move-ments. Stravinsky himself calls it his “passport” to the concerto.

The two men began to work together on their concerto, like Brahms and Joachim more than fifty years before. Dushkin was amazed at how slowly it went, and he often found Stravinsky hunched over the piano, “grunting and struggling to find the notes and the chords he [seemed] to be hearing.” Gradually, Dushkin watched the concerto come to life on the plain white pages of Stravinsky’s note-book. (Dushkin was amused that Stravinsky drew his own staff lines as he went, using a little roller made especially for him: “Some staves are longer, others shorter, sometimes just one line, sometimes several lines, so that when the page is finished, it looks like a strangely designed drawing, and each page looks different from the preceding page.”)

“At various intervals,” Dushkin recalled, “he would show me what he had just written, sometimes a page, sometimes only a few lines, sometimes half a movement.” Every one of Dushkin’s suggestions, no matter how simple, sent Stravinsky back to the drawing board. “He behaved like an architect who, if asked to change a room on the third floor, had to go down to the foundation to keep the proportions of the whole structure,” Dushkin remembered. The violin-ist even grew bold enough to propose entire passages of his own, which Stravinsky rejected, reminded of a pushy salesman at the Galeries Lafayette: “Isn’t this brilliant, isn’t this exquisite, look at the beautiful colors, everybody’s wearing it,” to which he had replied, “Yes, it is brilliant, it

is beautiful, everyone is wearing it—I don’t want it.”

The first movement was com-pleted on March 27. The two middle movements were finished before June 16, when Stravinsky went with his family to Voreppe, north of Grenoble, France, where he wrote the finale while Dushkin learned the first three movements. The full orchestral score is dated September 25, less than a month before the premiere in Berlin.

The final product is pure Stravinsky—the influ-ence of Dushkin, despite his tireless salesmanship, is entirely in the details and cannot be detected—and it is unlike any other concerto in the litera-ture. Stravinsky’s sensibilities had already deter-mined that he would not write a grand romantic vehicle for a dazzling artist parading his virtuosity. The composer’s interest in eighteenth-century music may have suggested the more likely model of Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos, where the soloist is always among friends, collaborating and conversing, rather than stealing the spotlight.

The relationship between soloist and orches-tra is fluid throughout Stravinsky’s concerto. He writes very few measures that do not include the solo violin, in ever-changing combinations with the members of the orchestra. The music is a kaleidoscope of duets, trios, and various larger chamber ensembles, and, in the finale, the solo violin even engages in a duet with the concert-master (a hint of Stravinsky’s fondness for Bach’s concerto for two violins). Stravinsky’s orchestra is not small—it is particularly heavy in winds and brass—but he rarely uses the full complement, so that it often sounds like a chamber orches-tra. Stravinsky specifically asks for fewer strings than the norm to offset the solo violin, and, in the opening Toccata, the listener is scarcely aware that there are violins in the orchestra at all. (In his Symphony of Psalms, composed the preceding year, Stravinsky omitted the upper strings completely.)

COMMENTS

T he concerto is divided, unconventionally, into four movements. Two bright, bus-tling movements in D major frame two

contrasted arias. All begin with the passport chord (essentially the top three open notes on the violin—D, A, E—with the middle note played up two octaves). The music is enlivened by old, familiar gestures from music’s immense attic, but, as always, Stravinsky gives each chord or melodic turn a new twist. Hindemith knew that Stravinsky would never be limited by the patterns the hand already knows; Stravinsky deliberately writes music that shakes our expectations and makes us listen freshly to every note.

The opening Toccata—from the Italian toccare, to touch—is lively and playful; the tempo is rapid and unchanging, as dependable as a Swiss watch. The two central arias—a title favored by Bach for slow movements—are both in minor keys. The first, in D minor, begins like a two-part inven-tion for violin solo and cellos; the second, in F-sharp minor, is a long-lined, richly embellished lyrical melody. The concerto doesn’t offer the soloist a cadenza, though the entire last move-ment is tireless, flamboyant, virtuosic display, despite Stravinsky’s reluctance to call attention to the matter.

Three weeks after Antonín Dvořák, his wife, and their two children moved to New York City in 1892, the composer conducted a concert of his music in Carnegie Hall, then only seventeen months old. He included the Carnival Overture and two companion overtures, because, as he wrote home to his publisher in Prague, “I think they are my best orchestral works.” (Within a matter of

weeks he began to sketch the Ninth Symphony, quickly known as From the New World, which would become his most popular composition.)

Dvořák had unveiled his three overtures at his farewell concert in Prague the previous spring. They were the last works he wrote before his great adventure in the New World. He conceived of the three pieces as a set called Nature, Life, and Love, and they are unified by a lovely, languid theme representing nature. Even though Dvořák later agreed to publish them separately—as In Nature’s Realm, Carnival, and Othello—he probably never dreamed that the middle one would immediately become a

great audience favorite at the expense of the other two.

T he Carnival Overture is suffused with joy and high spirits—“life” in Dvořák’s original plan. According to the 1892 New York pro-

gram book, Carnival contrasts with the serenity of In Nature’s Realm: “The dreamer of the afternoon

and evening has returned to scenes of human life, and finds himself drawn into . . . dancing in spir-ited Slavonic measures.” The revelry is cut short just before the end in a brief dreamlike episode highlighted by the clarinet’s sudden recollection of the nature theme from the first overture. Life itself returns, vigorously, and the carnival ends in a state of elation.

On August 12, 1893, Antonín Dvořák conducted his G major symphony at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. According to the printed booklet prepared for Bohemian Day at the fair, the Exposition Orchestra consisted of the Chicago Orchestra (as it was then known) “enlarged to 114 men.” The G major symphony was listed as no. 4, which is how it was known

during the composer’s lifetime, although we now number it the eighth of Dvořák’s nine symphonies. In fact, to the late nine-teenth century, Dvořák was the composer of just five sympho-nies; only with the publication of his first four symphonies in the 1950s did we begin to use the current numbering. By now, even generations of music lovers who grew up knowing this genial G major symphony as no. 4 have come to accept it as no. 8.

By the time he came to Chicago, Dvořák had already con-ducted this symphony several times, always to an enthusiastic response—first in Prague and then in London, Frankfurt, and Cambridge, when he received an honorary doctor of music degree there in 1891. (“Nothing but ceremony, and nothing but doctors,” he remembered. “All faces were serious, and it seemed to me as if no one knew any other language but Latin.”) The Chicago reception, capped by “tremendous outbursts of applause,” according to the Tribune, was equally positive.

In the 1880s and ’90s, Dvořák was as popular and success-ful as any living composer, including Brahms, who had helped promote Dvořák’s music early on and had even convinced his own publisher, Simrock, to take on this new composer and to issue his Moravian Duets in 1877. Dvořák proved to be a prudent

addition to the catalog, and the Slavonic Dances he wrote the following year at Simrock’s request became one of the firm’s all-time best sellers. Dvořák was then insulted and outraged, when, in 1890, Simrock offered him only a thousand marks for his G major symphony (particularly since the company had paid three thousand marks for the last one), and he gave the rights to the London firm of Novello instead. (At least he did not follow the greedy example set by Beethoven and sell the same score to two different publishers.)

Dvořák’s G major symphony is his most bucolic and idyllic—it is, in effect, his Pastoral—and like Brahms’s Second or Mahler’s Fourth, it stands apart from his other works in the form. Like the subsequent New World Symphony, composed in a tiny town set in the rolling green hills of northeast Iowa, it was written in the seclusion of the coun-tryside. In the summer of 1889, Dvořák retired to his country home at Vysoka, away from the pressures of urban life and far from the demands of performers and publishers. There he realized that he was ready to tackle a new symphony—it had been four years since his last—and that he was eager to compose something “different from the other symphonies, with individual thoughts worked out in a new way.”

Composition was remarkably untrou-bled. “Melodies simply pour out of me,” Dvořák said at the time, and both the unashamedly tuneful nature of this score and the timetable of its progress confirm the composer’s boast. He began his new symphony on August 26; the first movement was finished in two weeks, the second a week later, and the remaining two movements in just a few days apiece. The orchestration took only another six weeks.

T he first movement is, as Dvořák pre-dicted, put together in a new way. The opening theme—pointedly in

G minor, not the G major promised by the

key signature—functions as an introduction, although, significantly, it is in the same tempo the rest of the movement. It appears, like a signpost, at each the movement’s crucial junctures—here, before the exposition; later, before the start of the development; and finally, to introduce the recapitulation. Dvořák is particularly generous with melodic ideas in this movement. As Leoš Janáček said of this music: “You’ve scarcely got to know one figure before a second one beckons with a friendly nod, so you’re in a state of constant but pleasurable excitement.”

The second movement, an adagio, alternates C major and C minor, somber and gently merry music, as well as passages for strings and winds. It is a masterful example of complexities and con-tradictions swept together in one great paragraph. The central climax, with trumpet fanfares over a timpani roll, is thrilling.

The third movement is not a conventional scherzo, but a lilting, radiant waltz marked Allegretto grazioso—the same marking Brahms used for the third movements of his second and third symphonies. The main theme of the trio was rescued from Dvořák’s comic opera The Stubborn Lovers, where Tonik worries that his love, Lenka, will be married off to his father.

The finale begins with a trumpet fanfare and continues with a theme and several variations. The theme, introduced by the cellos, is a natural subject of such deceptive simplicity that it cost its normally tuneful composer nine drafts before he was satisfied. The variations, which incorporate everything from a sunny flute solo to a deter-mined march in the minor mode, eventually fade to a gentle farewell before Dvořák adds one last rip-roaring page to ensure the audience enthusi-asm that, by 1889, he had grown to expect.

With the aim of bringing opera to broader audiences where concert halls lack adequate space for full staging, he has, as music director in Milwaukee, Antwerp, and Hong Kong, often conducted semi-staged and concert performances.

A renowned orchestral trainer, he has been involved with projects working with talented young players at the Juilliard School in New York, the Colburn School in Los Angeles, and the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara.

De Waart’s extensive catalog encompasses releases for Philips, Virgin, EMI, Telarc, and RCA. Recent recordings include Henderickx’s Symphony no. 1 and Oboe Concerto, Mahler’s Symphony no. 1, and Elgar’s Dream of Gerontius, all with the Royal Flemish Philharmonic.

Beginning his career as an assistant con-ductor to Leonard Bernstein at the New York Philharmonic, de Waart then returned to Holland, where he was appointed assistant conductor to Bernard Haitink at the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam. In 1973, he was named chief conductor and artistic director of the Rotterdam Philharmonic.

Edo de Waart has received numerous awards for his musical achievements, including being named a Knight in the Order of the Netherlands Lion and an Honorary Officer in the General Division of the Order of Australia. He also is an Honorary Fellow of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts.

Leila Josefowicz’s passionate advocacy of contemporary music for the violin is reflected in her diverse programs and enthusiasm for performing new works. In recognition of her outstanding achievement and excellence in music,

she won the 2018 Avery Fisher Prize and was awarded a prestigious MacArthur Fellowship in 2008, joining prominent scientists, writers, and musicians who have made unique contributions to contemporary life.

Highlights of Josefowicz’s 2019–20 season include opening the London Symphony Orchestra’s season with Sir Simon Rattle and returning to the San Francisco Symphony with incoming music director Esa-Pekka Salonen to perform his Violin Concerto. Further engage-ments include concerts with the Los Angeles Philharmonic; NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra; Orchestre de la Suisse Romande; City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra; and the Cleveland and Philadelphia orchestras, where she will be working with conductors at the high-est level, including Susanna Mälkki, Matthias Pintscher, and John Adams.

A favorite of living composers, Josefowicz has premiered many concertos, including those by Colin Matthews, Steven Mackey, and Salonen, all written especially for her. This season, she per-forms the UK premiere of Helen Grime’s Violin Concerto with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Dalia Stasevska. Other recent premieres

include John Adams’s Scheherazade.2 (Dramatic Symphony for Violin and Orchestra) in 2015 with the New York Philharmonic and Alan Gilbert, and Luca Francesconi’s Duende: The Dark Notes in 2014 with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Mälkki. Josefowicz enjoyed a close working relationship with the late Oliver Knussen, per-forming various concertos together over thirty times, including his Violin Concerto.

Alongside pianist John Novacek, with whom she has enjoyed a close collaboration since 1985, Josefowicz has performed recitals at world- renowned venues such as New York’s Zankel Hall, the Kennedy Center in Washington (D.C.), and London’s Wigmore Hall as well as in Reykjavik, Chicago, San Francisco, and Santa Barbara. This season, they appear together at the Library of Congress in Washington (D.C.), at the Park Avenue Armory in New York, and Amherst College. She also joins Thomas Adès in recital to perform the world premiere of his new violin and piano work at Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris and the Japanese premiere at the Tokyo Opera City Cultural Foundation.

Recent highlights include engagements with the Berlin Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam, the National Symphony Orchestra, Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich, and Boston and Finnish Radio symphony orchestras. In 2017, Josefowicz appeared at Birmingham’s Symphony Hall and at the BBC Proms in Royal Albert Hall in London with City of Birmingham Symphony under Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla.

Leila Josefowicz has released several record-ings, notably for Deutsche Grammophon, Philips/Universal, and Warner Classics, and was featured on Touch Press’s acclaimed iPad app, The Orchestra. Her latest recording, released in 2019, features Bernd Alois Zimmermann’s Violin Concerto with the Finnish Radio Symphony conducted by Hannu Lintu. She received Grammy Award nominations for her recordings of Scheherazade.2 with the St. Louis Symphony conducted by David Robertson, and Salonen’s Violin Concerto with the Finnish Radio Symphony conducted by the composer.

chicago symphony orchestraNow celebrating its 129th 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 history. Pierre Boulez’s long-standing relation-ship with the CSO led to his appointment as principal guest conductor in 1995. He was named Helen Regenstein Conductor Emeritus in 2006, a position he held until his death in January 2016. Only two others have served as principal guest conductors: 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. Cellist Yo-Yo Ma served as the CSO’s Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant from 2010 to 2019. In this role, he partnered with Riccardo Muti, staff, and musicians to provide development for the Negaunee Music Institute at the CSO.

Mead Composer-in-Residence Missy Mazzoli was appointed by Riccardo Muti and began her two-year term in the fall of 2018. 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 Davee FoundationThe Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association (CSOA) is deeply grateful to The Davee Foundation for its many years of generosity. Gifts from The Davee Foundation have provided vital support for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and general operations, and have provided critical funding for the creation of innovative programming and establishment of strategic initiatives of the CSOA.

Founded by former CSOA Life Trustee, Ken M. Davee and his wife, Adeline Barry Davee, The Davee Foundation incorporated on November 5, 1964 as a not-for-profit family foundation, making annual year-end gifts to organizations they supported. Under the direction of Ken Davee’s second wife, Ruth Dunbar Davee, the Foundation became a leader in the philanthropic community throughout Chicago and beyond, providing significant grant funding in the fields of medicine, arts and culture, science, public affairs, and education.

The Davee Foundation dissolved in 2019, making final endowment grants to keep the memories of the Davees alive. The CSOA is greatly honored to be the recipient of a gift to its endowment, establishing the Ruth D. and Ken M. Davee Fund for Orchestral Excellence.
