Welcome to the final concert of ASO’s 63rd season!
As we close our 63rd season together, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to this community for welcoming me as the new Executive Director of the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra. It is an honor to join an organization that is dedicated to inspiring, educating, and enriching lives through extraordinary musical experiences.
The ASO’s commitment to musicianship and meaningful artistic expression is evident in every performance, every outreach initiative, and every connection we make—both here in Annapolis and beyond. Certainly, this commitment is reflected in the work of ASO Artistic Director José-Luis Novo. The repertoire for tonight’s concert features works by two emerging artists alongside a timeless piece by Ravel, a composer whose music is almost instantly recognizable.
Music has been a constant in my life. As a classically trained violinist, I know firsthand the discipline, passion, and artistry it takes to bring a performance to life. But beyond the notes on the page, I have always been drawn to the way music builds bridges—between generations, cultures, and perspectives. That spirit of connection is what excites me most about leading the ASO into its next chapter.
As we look ahead, my goal is to ensure that this orchestra continues to grow as a vital force in and for our community. I am committed to strengthening the role of the ASO as a cultural leader in Annapolis and beyond, and I look forward to working alongside our musicians, staff, board, and all of you who make this orchestra possible.
Thank you for being part of this journey. I am eager to meet and hear from you in the months ahead.
With gratitude,

THOUGHTS ON José -Luis Novo
ROBERT DILUTIS, Clarinet
“The world had become a hushed dreamscape. A strange stillness clung to everything, even the concert halls. Yet, amidst this surreal quiet, José-Luis refused to let the music fade. Our performance of the Copland Clarinet Concerto in 2020 felt like a shared hallucination, a shimmering mirage in the desert. There we were, in the vast, empty hall of Strathmore, each musician a solitary island in a sea of vacant seats. Under José-Luis’s baton, a phantom audience seemed to materialize, their applause a silent thunder and the music itself became something otherworldly.
CHRISTIAN TREMBLAY, Violin
“Working with Maestro Novo has been a wonderful journey, filled with hard work, joy, and great music. The ASO has transformed under his leadership, and I look forward to seeing where the great momentum he has given the orchestra takes us. Bravo Maestro Novo!
“BRIAN SHOOP, Viola
It has been a joy working with José-Luis Novo this season! I really appreciate that he creates a musically active and fulfilling environment in rehearsals while also showing so much care towards the well being of the musicians. He truly leads us with an invigoratingly strong sense of direction and also takes every opportunity to be on our side, supporting us in a way that binds the orchestra together. It’s been such a gift to continue to learn, grow, and thrive in a high level orchestral environment right after finishing my Master’s Degree and I look forward to many musical experiences to share with him and ASO in the future!

PROGRAM NOTES
Restless World Anew
ROYDON TSE
Born 1991, Hong Kong
Chinese-Canadian composer Royden Tse began his musical training early, studying piano and then violin as a child. Tse thoroughly enjoyed the lessons, practicing “late into the night.” While at boarding school in Eastbourne, England, Tse began to tinker with composition, jotting down ideas in notation software and playing it back to hear how it sounded. Tse decided to focus on composition after being mentored by and working with Canadian composer John Estacio, then serving as Composer in Residence for the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra.
Tse’s compositional style is grounded in the idea of communication. He begins with an overarching idea or emotion, and then considers the types of melodies, themes, sounds, and specific musical influences that are authentic to that story. As a contemporary composer trained in the long history of Western classical art music, Tse enjoys the varied palette of compositional techniques available, and seeks to innovate while
still creating a logical thread for the audience. In many of his pieces, Tse explores his own identity, blending or selecting influences from both Western and Eastern (especially Chinese) traditions and broader ways of thinking.
Restless World Anew is co-commissioned by the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra and the Gabriela Lena Frank Creative Academy of Music. The work considers the relationship between humans and our planet, as described in the program notes written by the composer:
In this concerto, the string quartet and orchestra engage in a dialogue that mirrors humanity’s complex relationship with Earth. The work unfolds across three movements, each exploring different facets of this environmental narrative. The opening movement, Delicate Dreams, establishes an initially harmonious relationship, with the quartet’s gestures reverberating through the orchestral texture, symbolizing the far-reaching impact of human activity on our planet. As the movement progresses, this delicate balance begins to falter, with the quartet’s actions triggering increasing instability in the orchestral response.
The second movement, titled Reflection, serves as a contemplative interlude—a musical metaphor for humanity’s necessary period of reflection and recognition of environmental responsibility. This requiem traverses a complex harmonic landscape before emerging into light, suggesting the possibility of transformation through understanding.
The final movement, Renewal, was inspired by an autumn walk through a forest in Calgary, where I observed the vibrant activity of local birds preparing for winter. This natural scene becomes the foundation for a movement of regeneration and hope, completing the concerto’s arc from environmental crisis to potential restoration. Throughout the work, the relationship between quartet and orchestra is a metaphor for our ecosystem that addresses one of the most pressing issues of our time: humanity’s stewardship of the natural world.
Fiesta No. 2
SONIA I. MORALES-MATOS
Born Oct. 6, 1961, San Juan
Born in Puerto Rico to a large musical family, Sonia Ivette Morales-Matos is the second of six children, all of whom played musical instruments. Their father was an amateur guitar player and encouraged the six children to play together; all of them continued their musical studies in conservatory settings and are today professional musicians.
Morales-Matos studied composition and jazz at the Berklee College of Music and then received her Master of Music degree in both Composition and Jazz Studies from Indiana University in Bloomington. Morales-Matos’s compositional style is defined by its influence from Latin musical traditions, especially specific rhythms and genres from Puerto Rico.
Fiesta No. 2 , written for string quartet with percussion and string orchestra, was commissioned by the Dalí Quartet and received its premiere in March 2023 by the Dalí Quartet and Orchestra Lumos in Stamford, Connecticut. One of the Dalí Quartet’s goals is to perform and therefore highlight Latin American music alongside more standard classical repertoire, and so it was fitting for them to commission a piece from a Puerto Rican composer who uses her cultural heritage for musical inspiration. Much like Morales-Matos’s childhood, Fiesta No. 2 is also a family affair; Dalí Quartet cellist Jesús Morales is her brother, and the October 2024 performance of the work in Ohio was directed by another brother, Jaime Morales-Matos, and featured yet another, Rolando MoralesMatos, on percussion.
Translating to “party,” Fiesta No. 2 begins with a festive atmosphere established immediately by the congas and the guiro. Conga drums are a staple in many dances from the Caribbean and Latin America, and the dance rhythms and melodies from these areas of the world are the focus for this piece. The opening syncopated rhythm, as well as the use of the guiro, signal an influence from the plena , a Puerto Rican genre that was
created in working-class barrios in the early twentieth century. Known as el periódico cantado (the sung newspaper), the plena is used to tell stories and is a highly participatory genre, perfect for a party. The cowbell introduces a cinquillo rhythm, used in dances such as the merengue , bomba , and danza . It is the danza , another dance from Puerto Rico, that is recalled by the lyrical solo cello, followed by driving rhythms that pull from the bolero, salsa, and tango dances. The plena ’s characteristic guiro returns at the end, drawing the party to a close. Fiesta No. 2 explores a wide range of dance styles from throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, celebrating a rich musical history.
Daphnis et Chloé, Suites Nos. 1 & 2 MAURICE RAVEL
Born Mar. 7, 1875, Ciboure
Died Dec. 28, 1937, Paris
Like the other composers programmed for this concert, Maurice Ravel began musical training at a young age, studying piano and then harmony. In late 1889, he began piano classes at the
Conservatoire de Paris, though he was dismissed in 1895. After this, Ravel turned his focus to composition, and he returned to the Conservatoire in 1897 to study composition and counterpoint. Ravel was dismissed again in 1900, though he continued informal lessons with Gabriel Fauré until 1903. Though he failed to win the famed Prix de Rome five times, he started to establish himself as a composer.
An important point in Ravel’s early career was the 1909 commission from impresario Sergei Diaghilev to write Daphnis et Chloé for the Ballets Russes. The next three years were a series of disasters between the collaborators: Ravel’s struggle to finish the score, disagreements about royalty agreements, a language barrier between Ravel and the Russian choreographer Michel Fokine, arguments between Fokine and the title-role dancer Vaslav Nijinsky over the role of Daphnis, and Diaghilev’s favoritism of his lover Nijinsky (who was also choreographing Debussy’s L’Après-midi d’un faune) over Fokine that led Diaghilev to prevent adequate rehearsal time for and delay the premiere of Daphnis . Nonetheless, Daphnis et Chloé premiered on June 8, 1912, at the Théâtre du Châtelet.
The 1912 program lists Daphnis et Chloé as a symphonie chorégraphique , or a ballet in which solo dances alternate with the corps de ballet , functioning as a Greek chorus to comment on the scenario. This structure, as well as the Greek myth of Daphnis and Chloe as the source material for the work, shows the influence of the French symbolist
movement and its interest in ancient Greece. Aligning with the symbolist movement’s emphasis on dreams and imagination rather than reality, Ravel was less concerned with an accurate portrayal of ancient Greece and more interested in “the Greece of [his] dreams which is close to that imagined and painted by the French artists of the eighteenth century.”
The opening tam tam and tremolo strings create a dreamlike state, with modal pastoral winds floating above, as, according to the stage directions, “youths and young girls, carrying baskets of gifts destined for the Nymphs [in archaic sculpture].” Daphnis, a young shepherd, must overcome various feats to be reunited with his love, the shepherdess Chloe. In the orchestral suites, which are excerpts of the full score, the war-like dance of the pirates is heard next, evoked musically with fast, forceful, and sharp low brass. The original costumes of the pirates also featured sharp, jagged lines with highly contrasting colors.
Suite No. 2 begins with a musical sunrise, layering sounds as the dawn light fills the sky. As the orchestra climaxes, Daphnis and Chloe have a blissful reunion. Quieter woodwind solos and lush strings then accompany a dance between the lovers; the rapid ascending lines, or glissandos, were inspired by the graceful leaps of Nijinsky. In stark contrast to the heavy music of the pirates, this light, airy dance evokes the purity of love between Daphnis and Chloe. A bacchanale begins as the dance becomes more frenzied,
with swirling dynamics and driving percussion in a 5/4 meter. Influenced by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade , this concluding Danse générale accompanied dancers dashing across the stage in groups of increasing numbers, until, as the choreographer Fokine describes, “the entire ensemble lurched together in a whirlpool.” At the sudden, accented ending, the dancers, with “high leaps […] disappeared into the wings.”
Program notes by Elizabeth Massey, Ph.D.
DALÍ QUARTET
Named Chamber Music America’s 2024 Ensemble of the Year, the Dalí Quartet is acclaimed for bringing Latin American quartet repertoire to an equal standing alongside the Classical and Romantic canon. Tours of its Classical Roots, Latin Soul programming have reached enthusiastic audiences across the US, Canada, and South America. The Quartet has been called upon for return engagements at the National Gallery of Art, Friends of Chamber Music in Portland, Chamber Music at Beall, and the SA’OAXACA International Music Festival, among others. 2023 debut appearances include the Bravo! Vail Festival, Princeton Summer Festival, Maverick Concerts, Library of Congress, and return engagements at the Virginia Arts Festival, Chamber Music Tulsa, and Friends of Chamber Music in Portland, Oregon. The quartet’s latest CD Voces Latinas is now available on Centaur Records.
The Dalí Quartet members are violinists Ari Isaacman-Beck and Carlos Rubio, violist Adriana Linares, and cellist Jesús Morales.
As soloists, the Dalí Quartet have performed Anna Clyne’s new Quarter Days for quartet and orchestra with the Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra and conductor Stuart Malina, and the premieres of Fiesta No. 2 by Sonia Morales-Matos and Suite Latina by Juan Ramírez with Orchestra Lumos and conductor Michael Stern.
The quartet enjoys an ongoing performance collaboration with Van Cliburn Gold Medal-winning pianist Olga Kern, with whom they have toured from coast to coast and recorded the piano quintets of Brahms and Shostakovich. The Dalí has recorded the Weber Clarinet Quintet with Ricardo Morales, famed principal clarinetist of the Philadelphia
Orchestra. New collaborations include The Eight Seasons and Folias de Tango with Giampaolo Bandini, guitar and Cesare Chiacchiaretta, accordion & bandoneón.
The Dalí Quartet is the winner of the 2023 Susan McIntosh Lloyd Award from ACMP, 2021 Silver Medal at the inaugural Piazzolla Music Competition, and 2021 recipient of the Guarneri String Quartet Residency funded by the Sewell Family Foundation. In 2019 the Dalí was honored with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra’s esteemed Aspire Award for accomplished African American and Latino Musicians. They founded the much-admired Dalí Quartet International Music Festival in 2004 which develops the performance skills of musicians through semiprofessional level. Currently Quartet in Residence at West Chester University,
the Dalí has also served as a resident ensemble at Lehigh University, given mini residencies at countless colleges and universities in the US and Canada, and is an Iris Collective Resident Ensemble.
Trained by world-renowned artists, members of the Dalí Quartet are from Venezuela, Puerto Rico, and the US, and have degrees from esteemed institutions including the New England Conservatory, Cleveland Institute of Music, Juilliard, Indiana University Bloomington, and the Simón Bolívar Conservatory in Caracas, Venezuela. Inspired by its namesake, the great Spanish artist Salvador Dalí, the quartet holds imagination and excellence at the heart of its music making. The quartet is based in Philadelphia.
ROYDON TSE COMPOSER
Composer and educator Dr. Roydon Tse (b. 1991) seeks to communicate to audiences from all backgrounds, drawing inspiration from the urgent challenges posed by climate change, the complexities of grief, and the intersections between Eastern and Western traditions.
His works for large ensemble tell universal stories through vibrant sounds, textures, and colors. In 2023, the Philadelphia Orchestra and the iSing! Festival gave the US premiere of his choral orchestral work Yellow Crane Tower at the Kimmel Center and Lincoln Center after its premiere by the Suzhou Symphony Orchestra. As the Toronto Symphony Orchestra’s 2020–21 NextGen Composer, he wrote Unrelenting Sorrow as a testament to the losses felt during the pandemic. His Sheng concerto, Radiant Light, was commissioned by the Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra and
brought together traditional folk tunes and instruments in a contemporary setting. He has collaborated with the Esprit Orchestra, Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, Brussels Philharmonic, Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra, Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, Niagara Symphony Orchestra, and the National Youth Orchestra of Canada.
Chamber and vocal works play an equally important role in his compositional oeuvre. He has written five string quartets, the most recent being Blank Canvas which was premiered and toured by the Verona Quartet in Seattle, Ottawa, and Nova Scotia. Works such as Fantasies on Tang Poetry, Da Xi, and Blues n’Grooves continue his exploration of Eastern influences in his work. His duet Memories for harp
and marimba has been performed worldwide, including by members of the Paris Opera and La Scala Orchestras. A growing focus on vocal music came during his time as a teaching artist for the Canadian Opera Company, resulting in commissions from the Atlanta Opera, City Opera Vancouver, and the Canadian Art Song Project. His work has won critical acclaim nationally and internationally, among them seven SOCAN Foundation Awards for Canadian composers, the Washington International Competition for Composition Prize, Lieutenant Governor of Alberta’s Emerging Artist Award, iSing! International
Composition Competition, Coups de Vents International Competition, Sir James Lougheed Award of Distinction, and the Johanna Metcalf Performing Arts Prize. He was awarded the 2024 Chalmers Fellowship to further his studies in traditional music from East Asia, and his work is supported by multiple grants from the Canada, Ontario, and Toronto Arts Councils.
Born in Hong Kong, Roydon Tse studied music in the UK before completing degrees in composition at the University of British Columbia and the University of Toronto. He lives in Calgary with his family.
