PROGRAM NOTES
ANTONÍN DVOŘÁK Program Notes
In Nature’s Realm, Op. 91 Birth Date: September 8, 1841, Nelahozeves, Czechia Death Date: May 1, 1904, Prague, Czechia Composition Date: 1891 Instrumentation: Two flutes, two oboes, English horn, two clarinets, bass clarinet, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, cymbals, triangle, violins, violas, cellos, basses Approximately 14 minutes Antonín Dvořák was a leading Czech composer during the Romantic era whose works fused Slavic and classical music. Having composed more than 200 pieces in his lifetime, Dvořák was one of the first Czech composers to receive acclaim around Europe and America. Born in Nelahozeves, Czechia, at the time part of the Bohemian region, Dvořák spent his early years soaking in the folk music of his homeland at his parents’ tavern. His father, a zither player, instilled a love of music and Czech tradition in him from a young age, too. As a child, he was a talented violinist, organist, and pianist—instruments that would lead him to early career positions as a church organist and in national orchestras. He also quickly began composing music, though many of his early pieces remained underground. It wasn’t until
meeting Johannes Brahms that his music received wider recognition. In 1874, Dvořák came into contact with Brahms while competing in the Austrian State Stipend competition, and the two would become fast friends. Brahms introduced Dvořák to Fritz Simrock, who eventually published Slavonic Dances, bringing Dvořák’s music to a much wider audience and helping launch his global career. In 1892, Dvořák left Europe to become the director of the National Conservatory of Music in New York City, where he sought to learn about American folk music. This period was crucial for the development of his late style. While living in the United States, his student Harry T. Burleigh introduced him to African American spirituals; Dvořák was inspired by this music, as well as the folk music of Native American people. Pieces like Symphony No. 9, the “New World Symphony,” and String Quartet No. 12, the “American Quartet,” find inspiration in these musical traditions and remain some of his most popular works. After his stint in the United States, Dvořák returned to Europe and continued to write music with a focus on opera, chamber music, and tone poems while teaching at the Prague Conservatory. Late works such as Rusalka were some of his most lasting, presenting a fully formed vision of his Romantic-meets-Czech folk music style in operatic form. Dvořák’s legacy is that of expanding western classical style, but In Nature’s Realm offers a different glimpse into his compositional voice. Like his contemporaries of the Romantic era, Dvořák
6 | We Are Annapolis Symphony Orchestra
admired nature, and In Nature’s Realm explores these ideals. This piece was composed as part of a cycle of three concert overtures; it and the other parts of the cycle, Othello and Carnival, venture away from Dvorak’s interests in Slavic folk traditions and further into a reverence for nature. In Nature’s Realm follows sonata form, establishing a gentle, deep melody that dissipates into fluttering winds and gradually cascades across the orchestra’s instruments into a brilliant ode. The piece is characteristic of Dvořák’s bold melodies, focused rhythm, and chromatic harmony, and of the Romantic era itself, in which composers captured the terror and beauty of the natural world in dramatic waves of sound.
JENNIFER HIGDON Cello Concerto Birth Date: December 31, 1962, Brooklyn, NY Composition Date: 2026 Instrumentation: Two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, crotales, vibraphone, snare drum, bass drum, bundle sticks, temple blocks, bottles, tamtam, suspended cymbal, Chinese suspended cymbal, sizzle cymbal, harp, violins, violas, cellos, basses Approximately 26 minutes in four movements
Jennifer Higdon is a leading living American composer whose neoRomantic compositional style mixes her interests in popular music, the expanse of American landscapes, and contemporary classical forms. Her music is widely performed—more than 300 times per year—and she received a 2010 Pulitzer Prize for her Violin Concerto as well as three Grammy Awards. Works like blue cathedral for orchestra have become a major part of the modern classical canon and represent her melodic and complex approach to composition. Higdon began her musical studies at age 15 as a self-taught flutist. Upon entering college at age 18 at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, she started formal music training. While there, she wrote her first compositions; later, she went on to receive an artist’s diploma at the Curtis Institute and to study with the pioneering composer George Crumb at the University of Pennsylvania. Through these experiences, she developed her soaring sense of melody. Her works often stem from an intuitive approach to composition, in which she writes phrases that arrive with ease; her harmonic structures are often open and readily shift between keys and tonalities, giving her music its surprising, fluid sound. Her style blends genres, including popular music to minimalist repetition, intricate harmony, and classical form, representing our time of genrelessness and boundary-breaking art. Throughout her compositional career, Higdon has composed 17
Jennifer Higdon cont.
concertos, several of which have become core repertoire and have received great acclaim. However, she had never composed a cello concerto until this work, written for the cellist Julian Schwarz. To compose the piece, she surveyed the solo cello repertoire, like J.S. Bach’s famed Cello Suites, soaking in the sound and style of centuries of music written for cello; she also communicated with Schwarz as she wrote, and they worked closely together to shape the final version of the piece. The four-movement piece draws on her lyrical style and highlights the instrument’s rich and colorful tone. It delicately intertwines solo and chamber passages, placing the cello in conversation with the orchestra while still highlighting its expressive melodic force. The piece received its world premiere in April 2026 with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. Jennifer Higdon is one of America’s most acclaimed figures in contemporary classical music, receiving the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in Music for her Violin Concerto, a 2010 Grammy for her Percussion Concerto, a 2018 Grammy for her Viola Concerto and, most recently, a 2020 Grammy for her Harp Concerto. Higdon’s first opera, Cold Mountain, won the International Opera Award for Best World Premiere and the opera recording was nominated for 2 Grammy awards. In 2018, Higdon received the prestigious Nemmers Prize from Northwestern University, awarded to contemporary classical composers of exceptional achievement who have significantly influenced the field of composition. Most recently, she was invited
to become a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Higdon enjoys several hundred performances a year of her works and her works have been recorded on more than 70 CDs.
MANUEL DE FALLA
El sombrero de tres picos (The Three-Cornered Hat) Birth Date: November 23, 1876, Cádiz, Spain Death Date: November 14, 1946, Alta Gracia, Argentina Composition Date: July 22, 1919 (premiered at the Alhambra Theatre) Instrumentation: Three flutes (two doubling on piccolo), two oboes, English horn, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, bass drum, cymbals, suspended cymbal, snare drum, triangle, tam-tam, glockenspiel, xylophone, castanets, harp, piano (doubling on celesta), violins, violas, cellos, basses Approximately 37 minutes in two parts Manuel de Falla is a pioneering composer and pianist of the late 19th and early 20th century whose works have become emblematic of Spanish classical form. His music is celebrated for its pluralistic embrace of Spanish culture, especially for his infusion of the rich Flamenco musical tradition into classical forms. Born in the Andalusian city of Cádiz, Falla began his musical journey as a pianist studying with his mother.
Flamenco music proliferates in this area of Spain, and the sounds and cultures that surrounded him as a child became part of his musical understanding. In 1900, he moved to the capital city of Madrid to attend the Real Conservatorio de Música y Declamación, where he studied piano and composed several early works; as a teen, he also developed a deep interest in literature and ran two literary magazines. At the same time, he became even more interested in the musical traditions of his Andalusian hometown and began to toy with using their musical language in his classically composed pieces. After several years in the capital city, Falla moved to Paris in 1907, where he met important French impressionist composers of that era such as Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel, the Russian modernist composer Igor Stravinsky, and the founder of the Ballet Russes Sergei Diaghilev. These relationships would influence his compositions and help him create connections for the production and presentation of his music. After leaving Paris at the start of the first world war, Falla returned to Madrid, where he composed several major works that fully blended Spanish musical tradition with classical forms; later, he moved to Granada, where he explored a more neoclassical style. Falla spent the last years of his life in exile in Argentina. Though flamenco is a folk tradition, it’s highly complex, involving layers of intricate rhythm, melody, and harmony. The ThreeCornered Hat, composed in 1919, represents one of Falla’s greatest
achievements in building a bridge between flamenco and classical music. The ballet, commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev for the Ballet Russes, incorporates elements of the flamenco dance into its choreography and music. Taking inspiration from Pedro Antonio de Alarcón’s short story of the same name, the piece follows a magistrate who is infatuated with a miller’s wife. Throughout, Falla brings in several Andalusian musical traditions, including cante jondo vocals, a type of melancholic singing, and the farruca, an austere form of flamenco in which the first beat is strongly accented and accompanying dance is highly detailed. The piece is composed in two acts and eight musical parts, each representing a different suite of dances, but all revel in the flamenco form: its rush of energy, a journey from kinetic energy into exhilarating resolution.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2026 SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2026 MARYLAND HALL | 7:30 PM Signature Series: Forces of Nature
Luke Soneral An Overture: The Mouse and its Shadow Reinaldo Moya Vestida de mar (A Violin Concerto) Francesca Anderegg, violin Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky The Tempest, Op. 18 Igor Stravinsky Divertimento from Le baiser de la fée (The Fairy’s Kiss) This concert is approximately 2 hours in length, with a 20 minute intermission.
R
einaldo Moya’s Vestida de mar (A Violin Concerto) takes inspiration from Pablo Neruda’s Canto General: a compendium of poems that describes the flora, fauna, culture, geography and history of the Americas. Each movement of the concerto relates to one of the oceans that surround the American continent: the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Caribbean Sea. The oceans here are a loose metaphor for aspects of the American experience. The piece was commissioned by Greenwood Music Camp and the Lakes Area Music Festival, and was written for and premiered by Moya’s wife, the violinist Francesca Anderegg, who will perform it at this concert. Tchaikovsky’s The Tempest transforms Shakespeare’s play into a sweeping symphonic seascape, where storm-tossed drama, glowing lyricism, and the eternal presence of nature unfold in richly colored sound. The physical storm brought to life by the music is a metaphor for human nature.
Igor Stravinsky’s The Fairy’s Kiss was conceived as a tribute to his country-man Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky on the 35th anniversary of the great composer’s death. It was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s The Ice-Maiden and functions as a poetic allegory for Tchaikovsky’s artistic life. Icy textures and glittering sonorities evoke nature as an elemental, even fateful force. Luke Soneral’s An Overture: The Mouse and Its Shadow is a brand-new work by a collegiate composer already earning national recognition. The inclusion underscores the ASO’s commitment not only to iconic classical music, but to the next generation of composers shaping the orchestral world.

Tan Dun Passacaglia: Secret of Wind and Birds Richard Strauss Eine Alpensinfonie (An Alpine Symphony), Op. 64 This concert is approximately 2 hours in length, with a 20 minute intermission.
D
ebussy’s “Fêtes” is a luminous celebration of Parisian festivities with shimmering orchestration. It bursts with joyous celebration.
Maurice Ravel’s Alborada del gracioso (Morning Song of the Jester) bursts with Spanish flair, from virtuosic strings and fiery castanets to the jester’s tender bassoon “song of the dawn,” blending wit, charm, and radiant orchestral color. Tan Dun’s Passacaglia: Secret of Wind and Birds is a modern marvel that transforms smartphones into instruments. By merging ancient Chinese musical heritage, the natural world, and contemporary sound, Tan Dun crafts a transcendent encounter with the rhythms, colors, and secrets of the world around us. Richard Strauss’ An Alpine Symphony paints the ascent of a mountain—from nightfall through sunrise, storm, and triumphant summit. Scored for nearly 100 players, including wind and thunder machines, organ, cowbells, and offstage horns, Strauss creates a breathtaking, cinematic world that captures both nature’s grandeur and the human spirit.

FRIDAY, APRIL 9, 2027 SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 2027 MARYLAND HALL | 7:30 PM SUNDAY, APRIL 11, 2027 MUSIC CENTER AT STRATHMORE | 3:00 PM
Jean Sibelius Tapiola, Op. 112 Max Bruch Violin Concerto No. 1 in G minor, Op. 26 Esther Yoo, violin Ludwig van Beethoven Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92 This concert is approximately 1 hr 50 min with a 20 minute intermission.
J
ean Sibelius’ Tapiola opens the performance with the mystical and magical setting of an ancient Nordic forest. Inspired by Finnish legends of Tapio, a mythical spirit, the composition unfolds from a single, austere motif into a vast sonic landscape — dark pines, icy winds, distant echoes. The music grows organically, like branches reaching through twilight, brooding and atmospheric, culminating in a conclusion that feels both modern and timeless. From that northern hush emerges one of the most beloved violin concertos: Max Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1. Lyrical, ardent, and richly Romantic, the concerto sings from its very first entrance. The soaring Adagio is among the most heartfelt slow movements in the repertoire, while the finale dances
with fire and virtuosity. Internationally acclaimed violinist Esther Yoo, praised for her depth of expression and dazzling technique, brings luminous artistry to this audience favorite. The program culminates in Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7. Driven by irresistible rhythmic vitality, each movement surges forward with mounting energy and exhilaration. The haunting Allegretto pulses with solemn intensity, while the outer movements blaze with unstoppable momentum. Composed amid personal struggle and political upheaval, the Seventh stands as a triumph of motion, resilience, and pure musical joy.

Ferde Grofé Grand Canyon Suite This concert is approximately 1 hr 50 min with a 20 minute intermission.
T
his program explores three vivid sound worlds — the restless English coast, the electric pulse of modern virtuosity, and the vast, cinematic sweep of the American West — each shaped by composers who transformed landscape into legend. Benjamin Britten’s Four Sea Interludes from the opera Peter Grimes, tells the story of a psychological storm. Divided strings and shimmering textures suggest a vast, indifferent sea that will outlast every human drama. Beneath the sound lies the aching question sung by the opera’s tragic outsider: What harbor shelters peace? Sergei Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 3 is one of the most brilliant and beloved concertos of the 20th century. The music blends razor-sharp wit, romantic sweep, and machine-age energy. Deceptive lyricism explodes into percussive sparkle and sardonic bite.
Castanets snap. Harmonies shift sideways without warning. The finale bristles with rhythmic argument between piano and orchestra, culminating in a dazzling, hard-won triumph. Performing this “devilishly difficult” concerto is Stewart Goodyear. Returning to Annapolis for the third time, Goodyear bridges tradition and innovation with rare fluency. His interpretations are an ideal match for Prokofiev’s mercurial brilliance. Ferde Grofé’s Grand Canyon Suite defines the sound of American symphonic storytelling. Each movement is a musical postcard of the West: “Sunrise,” the “Painted Desert,” hoofbeats “On the Trail,” “Sunset,” and “Cloudburst,” complete with wind machine and thunder sheet, describe the majesty of this striking landscape.

Busting “It’s too expensive.” THINK AGAIN. Busting Symphony Stereotypes
The ASO offers tiered pricing including $15 student tickets, $25 Signature Series seats, $25 Matinees at Maryland Hall, and free concerts throughout the season. We don’t want cost to stand between you and the music.
“I won’t understand it.”
GOOD NEWS: THERE’S NO TEST AT THE DOOR.
You don’t need a musical background, a history book, or a pre-concert cram session. Just come, sit, listen, and experience. Enjoyment comes first. Studying beforehand is optional.
“It’s stuffy and formal.” ONLY IF YOU WANT IT TO BE.
At the ASO, we see everything from sequins to sweats. Dress up. Dress down. Dress comfortably. What matters isn’t what you’re wearing — it’s what you’re feeling.
“I’ll feel out of place.”
NOT HERE. WE WELCOME YOU.
From the moment you walk through the doors at Maryland Hall, a Chamber concert, an Academy performance, or The Music Center at Strathmore, you’re part of something shared. The ASO is a community — open, curious, and united by the simple act of listening together. You belong.
“Symphonies are boring.” NOT EVEN CLOSE.
Watch the individual musicians and how they interact with the conductor, the guest artist, and with each other. Notice how Maestro José-Luis Novo shapes the music with his hands, arms, and expressions. Look around and see the audience leaning in. Feel what the music does to your body. Are your toes tapping? Do you want to close your eyes while listening? Live orchestral music is emotional, physical, and visceral. But boring? Never.

RELAX. AT THE ASO, THE RULEBOOK IS SHORT.
FAKE NEWS. THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO JOIN THE ASO FAMILY.
Clap when the music ends. Don’t own a tux or a formal gown? We’ve got you— come in whatever you like. Got a tickle in your throat? We offer free lozenges and you’re allowed to have beverages in the auditorium.

“It’s all the same kind of music.” HARDLY. NOTHING REPETITIOUS HERE.

Some are innovative, using things like a huge handmade hammer, windsheets, ancient Chinese instruments, or this season, even your cellphone. Every work tells a different story. Listen to the music to follow along. Or write your own narrative based on your experience.
