Adrian Symphony Orchestra 2019-20 Season WELCOME TO THE 2019-20 SEASON WITH THE ADRIAN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA. Welcome to the 2nd half of the 2019-2020 Season of the Adrian Symphony Orchestra. Our fall season was filled with some amazing highlights, including the audience favorite “Rose of Sonora” concerto and the orchestra’s moving performance of Tchaikovsky’s final symphony.

The next few months continue to share the greatest music for orchestra, both old and new. Recent music is highlighted in February with “MARVEL-ous Heroes,” our celebration of the great movie music of Marvel and DC comic heroes.

In March, we visit with the two great musical prodigies, Mozart and Mendelssohn in a new venue at Siena Heights University. May brings the “Big” concert of the year with two stunning orchestral masterpieces that will blow you away.

Throughout all of these programs, you’ll enjoy all that you love about your wonderful professional orchestra.

Great music, right here in our community, made by talented and passionate musicians.

The success of our orchestra and its longevity are a direct result of the great community support that we have enjoyed throughout the decades. I’m convinced that our orchestra is in the beginning of another golden age, being a major part of the fabric of our community.

As always, our season wraps up with a pops concert.

This year we take a trip down memory lane with the music of Simon and Garfunkel, as their legendary “Concert in Central Park” is recreated, song by song, on the stage of Dawson Auditorium.

Make plans to attend each program for something to wow your senses and touch your spirit.

Music Director Bruce Anthony Kiesling

Active in a wide variety of music, Bruce has a national profile as a conductor and music educator from coast to coast, from classical repertoire at Carnegie Hall to the stage of the Hollywood Bowl conducting with Stevie Wonder and Latin superstars Juanes and Gloria Estefan.

Music Director of the orchestra since 2016, his short tenure so far has been marked by a growing and enthusiastic audience drawn regularly to the symphony by his engaging, relaxed, and slightly irreverent commentary from the stage and the preconcert lectures.

The musicians of the orchestra also enjoy his relaxed but focused rehearsal style that has been producing exciting results heard from the stage during each of the programs.

Bruce’s other passion is music education, where he regularly works with outstanding youth orchestra programs. For five years, Bruce was the YOLA conductor for the Los Angeles Philharmonic where he led multiple orchestras of different levels including most of the 700 students at YOLA’s three sites. YOLA is Gustavo Dudamel’s signature music education program, which brings free-of-charge musical opportunities to underserved youth in Los Angeles.

Bruce has conducted at the country’s most storied halls, including the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Ozawa Hall at Tanglewood, and SPAC. Bruce has worked with Dmitry Sitkovetsky, David Kim, Tai Murray, Alexander Paley, Steven Lin, Andrew Tyson, Alexi Kenney, Jeffrey Biegel, Lindsay Deutsch, Jennifer Check, Anthony Dean Griffey, Gary Hoffman, Darren Criss, Gloria Estefan, Stevie Wonder, Ricky

ADRIAN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA 19-20 SEASON

Minor, Grace Potter, Jason Alexander, Lonny Price, Jodi Benson, Doug LeBrecque, Doc Watson, David Holt, Stevie Wonder, Gloria Estefan, Juanes, Gospel performers Richard Smallwood and Curt Carr, and his orchestras have accompanied multiple performances with The Airborne Toxic Event, Clay Aiken, Natalie Cole, and Michael Bolton among others. He has prepared orchestras for performances with Simon Rattle, Marin Alsop, Gustavo Dudamel, Thomas Wilkins, and David Robertson. Recently, Bruce created several original orchestrations to accompany the legendary rock band “Journey” for their performance at the Hollywood Bowl.

He also spent 8 years as resident conductor of the wonderful Greensboro Symphony Orchestra in North Carolina before relocating to California. Following that, Bruce was the Assistant Conductor of the Pasadena Symphony and Pops and Music Director of the Pasadena Youth Symphony.

Bruce is active in higher education where he served for three years on the faculty of the Longy School of Music of Bard College: MAT program (Master of Arts in Teaching). Currently, Bruce conducts the University Orchestra and Opera at the University of California Santa Cruz.

Then there’s also his addiction to film music, which finds its way on to many of his concert programs, including full performances of the films “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” (2019) “Psycho,” and “Casablanca.” And also there is his whole musical theater phase where he served as musical director for dozens of productions including the original production of Darren Criss (of TV’s “Glee”) “A Very Potter Sequel,” which became a top ten hit on iTunes. He also musical directed several productions of the five-time Emmy winner “The News in Revue,” and also “They’re Playing Our Song” at Reprise Theater starring Jason Alexander.

Bruce holds graduate degrees from the University of Michigan, The University of Miami, and The University of North Carolina School of the Arts. Recent guest conducting appearances include The Pacific Symphony, The Toledo Symphony, The Long Beach Symphony, San Luis Obispo Symphony, the Fresno Philharmonic, the Owensboro Symphony, the Greensboro Symphony, the San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra, the Western Piedmont Symphony, the Lakeside Symphony (OH), and the Young Artists Orchestra at Tanglewood.

In spite of his intrepid schedule, Bruce somehow finds time to vacation a bit. Most recently, Bruce learned that downhill skiing really is like riding a bike (in the sense that after you haven’t ridden a bike in five years you might fall a couple of times before you remember how it’s done). Although based in Los Angeles, he also loves New York City´s cultural scene, both in classical music and theater. A diagnosed cinephile, he’s grateful that LA has such a lively theater, music, and film scene to enjoy, where Bruce makes too-often appearances at the Arclight Theater in Hollywood, easily the world’s greatest movie theater.

Adrian Symphony Orchestra History, Staff and Board of Directors About the Adrian Symphony Orchestra The Adrian Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1981 with the mission to create musical performances of the highest quality and to present activities that educate, enhance, and improve the quality of life for the citizens of Lenawee County and Southeast Michigan.

Now in its 39th season, the ASO is committed to providing excellent Music for Everyone through diverse seasons of classical, pops, and school-day educational concerts. Our goal is to create remarkable live concert experiences now and for many years to come.

Finest Musicians The ASO attracts the finest musicians from the world’s stage to produce performances of the high quality normally experienced in a larger city. Members of the orchestra are professional musicians active in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan. These musicians have trained at prestigious music schools including Juilliard, Eastman, Yale, and the University of Michigan and they perform with other professional orchestras, ballets, and opera companies.

Many teach music in the region, in private studios, colleges, universities, and public schools.

The orchestra regularly collaborates with extraordinary soloists, including prize winners of the Naumburg, Leeds, and Tchaikvovsky competitions. ASO guest artists have appeared with internationallyknown orchestras in venues ranging from New York’s Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center to Vienna’s Musikverein. Recent ASO soloists have appeared with the New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the Dresden Staatskapelle, as well as other prestigious orchestras around the world.

The 2015-2016 Season featured four finalists in the ASO’s search for a new music director. In the 2016-2017 season we welcomed our new Music Director Bruce Anthony Kiesling (bio listed on page 4).

Community Supported The ASO serves as the Professional Orchestra-in-Residence at Adrian College and is governed by a community-based volunteer Board of Directors. The ASO would not succeed without support from individuals like you! The ASO is a Michigan non-profit 501(c) (3) corporation and is funded through concert ticket sales, program advertising, sponsorships, foundation and government grants and donations from our loyal patrons.

Program Notes

by Beryl McHenry

MENDELSSHON & MOZART MARCH 13

Concerto No. 1 for Piano and Orchestra in G Minor, Op. 25 Felix Mendelssohn (1809­-1847)

Symphony No. 41 “Jupiter” Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)

Mendelssohn’s First Piano Concerto was composed in 1831, when he was just 22. He was enjoying a highly successful career already. He had made his conducting debut in London in 1829, then produced an operetta in Berlin, and completed his Reformation Symphony. Late in 1830 he was working on the Hebrides Overture in Germany and finishing up his Italian and Scottish Symphonies while traveling in Italy. On his way back to Germany he spent some time in Switzerland, finally arriving in Munich in October. He was to conduct a concert of his music and felt he needed just one more work to make the program complete. The G Minor Concerto was written during that time to fill out the program. It premiered October 17 in Munich, along with several major works, and was such a success that Mendelssohn routinely included it in his concerts from then on.

It also became part of every concert pianist’s repertoire for decades after.

The work is in three movements, linked without pause to create a sense of overall unity. The first movement, Molto allegro con fuoco, is one of turbulence and fury, with the piano entering almost immediately, and piano and orchestra alternating the furious and lyrical subjects contributing to the whole. The second movement, Andante, begins with a fanfare and develops into a beautiful song, characteristically Mendelssohn, which ends on a sustained E major chord, then moves at once to the final Presto movement. Here another fanfare gives way to a brilliant Rondo which displays the soloist’s virtuosity in a dazzling series of runs and leads to the spectacular conclusion. Mendelssohn himself performed the solo part at the highly successful premiere in Munich and wrote to his father the next day, “My concerto met with a long and vivid reception. The orchestra accompanied well and the work itself was really quite wild.”

The concerto did, in fact, become a part of the repertoire of many concert pianists, including Franz Liszt. Mendelssohn had just met Liszt in Paris at the Erard piano showrooms. He placed the barely legible score for his new concerto on one of the pianos and was amazed to witness Liszt sight-read the work easily.

Mendelssohn declared it to be “a miracle” and a popular legend has it that the piano itself became possessed and played the work over and over without a pianist after that until it was destroyed!

At the time the Jupiter Symphony was written, most major works were composed in response to a commission from a patron, for the purpose of making a living. Mozart, however, had just moved to Vienna and was determined to support himself and his family through performance and composing. It might have been more sensible to write smaller works which could readily be sold, but it was during this uncertain period of time that Mozart composed his three greatest - and last - symphonies. He certainly did not know they would be his last. At his young age he must have expected to live well into the nineteenth century. But something drove him to write, and all three, the 39th, 40th and 41st, were produced in about nine weeks during the summer of 1788. Each is a complete work with four movements. According to one program annotator this would have meant spending “5 days and a few hours on the composition of each movement.” Additionally, he was composing other pieces, giving piano lessons, caring for a sick wife, grieving the loss of his 6-month-old daughter, moving to a new home and worrying about his financial obligations. We do not know when the work premiered, but there are in existence notes to show that it was performed in Dresden, Leipzig and Frankfurt in 1790.

The Symphony No. 41 is enormous in its emotional range and expressive brilliance. It opens with a stately theme alternating with a gently lyrical one. Second and third themes balance out the opening mood, pointing toward the second movement of the work. This begins with a simple four note theme reminiscent of church music. It follows a strict sonata form and serves as a perfect model of a dramatic symphonic movement. The third movement is a minuet, the kind of music that would be heard in an imperial ballroom. It contains a musical “joke” in that the opening notes of each phrase sound like a concluding cadence, while the notes that follow suggest an opening strain for that conclusion. His friend Haydn had used this device in one of his quartets a few months earlier. In the incredible finale movement, Mozart weaves together five independent figures to create a sense of excitement leading to a double fugue at the end.

The popular subtitle “Jupiter” was not applied by Mozart.

According to his son Franz, it originated in London around 1819 and was devised by Johann Salomon, a London impresario, as an advertising device for the London performances that year. One wonders what Mozart would have thought of this addition.

Symphony No. 2 “The Age of Anxiety” Leonard Bernstein (1918–1990)

Pictures at an Exhibition Modest Mussorgsky (1839–1881)

Leonard Bernstein earned his initial fame as a conductor. In 1943 he stepped in to conduct the New York Philharmonic when Bruno Walter was ill, and he so impressed the music director, Artur Rodzinski that he was appointed assistant conductor. He went on to a distinguished career as a conductor, but also became an active composer, with some of his best work coming out of that decade. He wrote, among other works, his first symphony, and then his second, before going on to write musicals for the broadway stage in the 50s. His second symphony, subtitled “The Age of Anxiety” was composed in 1949 and was inspired by a book-length poem by W. H. Auden. Auden’s The Age of Anxiety was written in 1947 and focused on the spiritual angst and cultural condition of the mid-twentieth century. It got terrible reviews. The Times Literary Supplement called it “his one dull book, his one failure.” T. S. Elliot, however, called it “Auden’s best work to date”, and it won a Pulitzer Prize in 1948. Bernstein called it “one of the most shattering examples of pure virtuosity in the history of English poetry.” He became obsessed with the idea of writing a symphony based on it.

The work was commissioned by Bernstein’s long-time mentor Serge Koussevitsky and it premiered on April 8, 1949, with Koussevitsky conducting and Bernstein playing the piano solo.

The story depicts an encounter between four individuals in New York City during wartime. They meet in a bar in the “Prologue,” converse about the metaphysical world and the human condition in “The Seven Ages” and “The Seven Stages” of man, lament the loss of a guiding father figure (apparently FDR who had died in 1945) in the “Dirge”, head to a party in “Masque” and then take leave of each other in the “Epilogue,” each returning to their everyday lives. The music sounds at times like English pastoral themes and at other times like American urban music - jazz, be-bop, and blues. Bernstein apparently saw himself in the poem and described himself as an “autobiographical protagonist” while he presented Auden’s story.

In his own program note, Bernstein says, “I was merely writing a symphony inspired by a poem and following the general form of that poem. Yet, when each section was finished I discovered, upon re-reading, detail after detail of programmatic relation to the poem - details that had ‘written themselves’, wholly unplanned and unconscious…” He later said that, apart from the poem, “the Symphony has acquired a life of its own.” and declared himself satisfied with the work in its final form.

Mussorgsky composed Pictures at an Exhibition in 1874 to commemorate a very close friend, Victor Hartmann, who died at age 39, causing Mussorgsky profound grief. He struggled with a way to honor his friend, and when he attended an exhibition of 400 pieces of Hartmann’s work, he was deeply moved. In a few weeks he had written a suite of ten piano pieces dedicated to Hartmann and to the organizers of the exhibit.

The ten pictures Mussorgsky chose for his suite included a gnome-shaped nutcracker, a bard singing near an ancient castle, children playing and quarreling in the park, a lumbering wooden oxcart, peeping chicks emerging from their shells, two Polish Jews arguing, the women and vendors in a marketplace, the gloom of the catacombs beneath Paris, the grotesque witch Baba Yaga of Russian Folklore, and an architectural design for the gate of Kiev, never actually built. The pictures are interspersed with a “promenade” theme suggesting the walking gait of a viewer strolling through a museum, stopping to study the details of each picture. Mussorgsky appears to have chosen the works because of the variety of moods suggested and the opportunity to make use of a variety of musical styles.

Mussorgsky died at age 42, his life shortened by alcoholism and depression, and his suite was not published until 1886, five years after his death. His original suite did not generate much interest among pianists of the day, but several attempts were made to orchestrate it. In 1922 Maurice Ravel took the suite to Serge Koussevitsky, music director of the Boston Symphony, who commissioned him to orchestrate it. The world premiere of Ravel’s orchestration, with Koussevitsky conducting, took place in Paris in October of 1922. Ravel’s orchestration seems to bring the piano works to life, underscoring the mood of each section by using appropriate instruments. For example, the chirping chicks are well represented by the woodwinds. The dark mood of the catacombs is evoked by reverent brass, and percussion brings out the nastiness of the witch. The finale, featuring the great gate of Kiev, is presented with full brass and pealing carillons.

The work has subsequently been arranged for many kinds of ensemble, and many attempts have been made to recapture the mood of the original keyboard work. Each version serves to remind the listener that the work was always a masterpiece in its own right, lending itself to a world of possibilities for individual interpretation.

Hailed by BBC Radio 3 as “a real poet of the piano,” American pianist Andrew Tyson is emerging as a distinctive and important new musical voice. In summer 2015, he was awarded First Prize at the Géza Anda Competition in Zürich, as well as the Mozart and Audience Prizes. These victories have resulted in numerous performances throughout Europe under the auspices of the Géza Anda Foundation.

Tyson is also a laureate of the Leeds International Piano Competition where he won the new Terence Judd-Hallé Orchestra Prize, awarded by the orchestra and conductor Sir Mark Elder with whom he enjoys an ongoing relationship. With concerto performances taking him across North America, Europe and further afield, Tyson has performed with orchestras from North Carolina Symphony, Colorado Symphony, Kansas City Symphony and Orchestra of St. Luke’s at Alice Tully Hall, to Osaka Symphony, SWR Symphony Orchestra Stuttgart, Musikkollegium Winterthur and National Orchestra of Belgium. Highlights this season include a return to the Hallé and Bournemouth Symphony Orchestras as well as his debut with Flanders Symphony Orchestra.

Recital appearances include major cities across the U.S. and Europe at venues such as Brussels’ Palais des Beaux-Arts, New York’s Carnegie Hall and the Zürich Tonhalle. Following last season’s recitals in Shanghai, Vancouver, St. Petersburg, Tokyo and a return to London’s Wigmore Hall, this season sees Tyson giving recitals in Taiwan for the first time as well as a tour in Switzerland.

Guest Artist Andrew Tyson

include Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts, Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart Festival, Lucerne Piano Festival, Pacific Music Festival in Japan and the Musica Viva festival in Sydney for a mixture of solo and chamber performances. An active chamber musician, Tyson regularly appears in recital with violinist Benjamin Beilman; this season they join up again for performances in the U.S. Tyson’s three recital discs apppear on the Alpha Classics label.

His debut disc comprises the complete Chopin Preludes while his second album released in March 2017 features works by Scriabin and Ravel. His latest disc, Landscapes, released in September 2019, features works by Mompou, Albéniz, Scarlatti and Schubert and is described by Tyson as a program which “synthesizes my love of Spanish music, my love of nature and my fascination with the coloristic aspects of piano playing.” The album title takes its name from Federico Mompou’s Paisajes, which are “landscapes of the mind as much as intimate, yet vivid depictions of Spain.” aAs winner of the Young Concert Artists International auditions in 2011, Tyson was awarded YCA’s Paul A. Fish Memorial Prize and the John Browning Memorial Prize. An Avery Fisher Career Grant soon followed. After early studies with Thomas Otten he attended The Curtis Institute of Music where he worked with Claude Frank. Tyson later studied with Robert McDonald earning his Master’s degree and Artist Diploma at The Juilliard School, winning the Gina Bachauer Piano Competition and receiving the Arthur Rubinstein Prize in Piano.

1981: THE CONCERT is a stunning recreation of Simon & Garfunkel’s 1981 Concert in Central Park. Simon & Garfunkel’s Concert in Central Park was one of the largest and most beloved concerts of all time. Although it was attended by over 500,000 people, most of us didn’t have the opportunity to attend this amazing show.

This upbeat 90 minute show will take the audience back in time to that cool September night in New York City when Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel reunited for a free concert.

Mrs. Robinson, Homeward Bound, Bridge Over Troubled Water, The Boxer, Scarborough Fair, The Sounds of Silence…these are just a few of the featured songs that have made Simon & Garfunkel one of the most successful and beloved artists of all time.

1981: THE CONCERT recreate this awe inspiring show with attention to every detail. They pay ultimate homage to this amazing American duo and stay true to the beauty of their timeless songs. Complete with a full 9 piece back up band, the warm blending harmonies and crisp guitar work recreate the sound, look and feel of this legendary duo in their most famous performance ever… THE CONCERT IN CENTRAL PARK
