ASQ Remember Tomorrow Program

AUSTRALIAN STRING QUARTET

NATIONAL SEASON 2 015

REMEMBER TOMORROW TOU R ON E 20 FE B R UARY — 11 MARCH, 2015

WELCOME

Welcome to our 30th Anniversary season, a time to reflect on years gone by and a celebration of the future. In recognition of the original Australian String Quartet – William Hennessy, Douglas Weiland, Keith Crellin and Janis Laurs – we begin our season with one of Haydn’s most sophisticated and polished quartets, opus 76 no 3, Emperor. This work is perhaps most famous for its second movement theme, based on the anthem “God Save Francis the Emperor”, and was one of the works that appeared at the ASQ’s inaugural concert 30 years ago.

Another anniversary this year is the Centenary of the ANZAC landing at Gallipoli. Ross Edwards has written an evocative and moving work entitled Gallipoli especially for us to play on this occasion. It is to be premiered on this national tour in Albany, Western Australia, where many troops had their last glimpse of Australian soil. We are most grateful to Lady Primrose Potter, the Ian Potter Cultural Trust and Professor Richard Divall for their incredible support of this project. The work was recently recorded for a commemorative ANZAC CD Gallipoli - A Tribute and is dedicated to the RSL Australia, RSA New Zealand and Legacy.

The third String Quartet of Dmitry Shostakovich was the only work he completed in 1946 following World War II. The original cellist of the Borodin Quartet, Dmitry Dmitriyevich, recalls how over several glasses of vodka, Shostakovich revealed the ideas behind the five movements: firstly, the peaceful life in Russia, the build up of war in surrounding countries, the tank armada invasion of Russian territory, a requiem for the dead, and in the last movement a reflection on the fate of mankind. There is debate about the validity of these statements as they aren’t written into the manuscript, but they do correspond closely to the musical structure, tempos and themes, and the times in which it was composed. This quartet was known to be one of the composer’s favourite works, and its performance was banned in Russia at the time.

Behind the scenes of this concert series we are auditioning and trialing to build the ASQ of tomorrow and of many years to come. For this concert we welcome our longtime friends, Wilma Smith on first violin and Cameron Hill on second violin as guest artists. We are really enjoying working with them for this first tour and heartily thank them!

Steve, Sharon and the ASQ team.

AUSTRALIAN STRING QUARTET

With a rich history spanning 30 years, the Australian String Quartet (ASQ) has established a strong national profile as an Australian chamber music group of excellence, performing at the highest international level. From its home base at the University of Adelaide, Elder Conservatorium of Music, the ASQ delivers a vibrant annual artistic program encompassing performances, workshops, commissions and education projects across Australia and abroad.

Violist Stephen King and cellist Sharon Draper are the current members and Artistic Directors of the ASQ. In 2015, they are joined by invited guest violinists to present the Quartet’s performance season, whilst working behind-the-scenes to recruit two permanent violinists to the Quartet.

The Quartet’s performance calendar for 2015 comprises its National Season featuring three unique concert programs presented in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney; its own flagship festivals in the Southern Grampians and Margaret River; regional touring and an international tour to Italy in May. The members of the ASQ are privileged to perform on a matched set of Guadagnini instruments. Hand crafted by Giovanni Battista Guadagnini between c.1743–1784 in Turin and Piacenza, Italy, these exquisite Italian instruments were brought together through the vision of Ulrike Klein. The instruments are on loan to the Australian String Quartet for their exclusive use through the generosity of Ulrike Klein, Maria Myers and a group of donors who have supported Ngeringa Arts to acquire the viola.

STEPHEN KING VIOLA

SHARON DRAPER CELLO

Stephen played violin while growing up in Canberra and turned to the dark side (viola) after all but completing an architecture degree in Brisbane. Stephen holds a Doctorate in Chamber Music from the University of Maryland. His teachers include Elizabeth Morgan, James Dunham, and Michael Tree of the Guarneri Quartet. From 1997 Stephen was violist of the Coolidge String Quartet based in Washington D.C. and also Associate Principal Viola of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra and a member of the Boston Modern Orchestra Project. Stephen returned to Australia in 2003 to join the Australian Chamber Orchestra. Since 2012 he has performed with the Australian String Quartet.

Sharon began her career as a freelance cellist with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO), Melbourne Chamber Orchestra, Academy of Melbourne Orchestra and Orchestra Victoria. After joining the Australian Chamber Orchestra’s (ACO) Emerging Artists program, she toured extensively with the ACO, was appointed to the MSO, and founded the Hopkins String Quartet. In 2011 she studied in Berlin and toured with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and Spira Mirabilis Chamber Orchestra. Sharon joined the Australian String Quartet in 2013 and this year will also perform as a guest with the Australian World Orchestra, Australia Ensemble, and guitarist Slava Grigoryan.

Guadagnini Quartet Project The members of the Australian String Quartet are privileged to have access to a matched set of Guadagnini instruments. Hand crafted by Giovanni Battista Guadagnini between c.1743-1784 in Turin and Piacenza, Italy, these exquisite instruments were brought together through the vision of Ulrike Klein, founder of Ngeringa Arts. For this tour, the viola and cello are on loan to the Australian String Quartet from Ulrike Klein and Ngeringa Arts.

In order to secure the instruments for future generations, Ngeringa Arts has launched the Guadagnini Quartet Project. Its aim is to acquire all four instruments for future generations of Australian musicians and music lovers. Once complete it will be the only matched set of Guadagnini instruments in the world and Ngeringa Arts will hold it in perpetuity.

Already through the generosity of the Klein Family and other donors, Ngeringa Arts has acquired the viola. Its next priority is the cello, which is the most valuable of the set. Crafted in 1743 it is one of his finest and was featured in an international exhibition in Parma, Italy to celebrate the 300th anniversary of Guadagnini’s birth.

The Klein Family Foundation has pledged $640,000 and the James and Diana Ramsay a further $510,000 over three years and a group of donors have contributed $182,404. To acquire the cello Ngeringa Arts must raise a total of $1.83M. Historymaking endeavors like this are born from passion. To succeed, Ngeringa Arts needs the involvement of visionaries who understand the significant cultural value in a collection of this calibre.

The Board of Ngeringa Arts recognizes and thanks the following patrons who have each made a significant contribution to this project.

GUEST ARTIST WILMA SMITH VIOLIN

GUEST ARTIST CAMERON HILL VIOLIN

Wilma Smith was Concertmaster of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra from 2003 – 2014. Born in Fiji and raised in New Zealand, she studied in Boston at the New England Conservatory with the legendary Dorothy DeLay and Louis Krasner before becoming first violinist of the Lydian String Quartet, winning the Naumburg Award for Chamber Music and prizes at the Evian, Banff and Portsmouth International String Quartet Competitions. She also worked regularly with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and was Concertmaster of the Harvard Chamber Orchestra and Handel and Haydn Society. Invited to return home to form the New Zealand String Quartet, Wilma was later appointed Concertmaster of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, then the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. She curates her own chamber music series called “Wilma and Friends”. Wilma has appeared as Guest Concertmaster with the Sydney, West Australian, Tasmanian symphony orchestras and the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra and continues to free-lance while her focus shifts once more to chamber music.

Cameron Hill is an Australian violinist who appears as soloist, chamber musician and orchestral player. He studied with Cathryn Bills, William Hennessy and Alice Waten. He has performed as soloist with many Australian orchestras, including the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Queensland Symphony Orchestra, Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, Canberra Symphony Orchestra and the Melbourne Chamber Orchestra. Cameron has also had success in major competitions, winning both the 2005 Dorcas McClean National Violin Competition and the 2006 ABC Young Performer of the Year. He has appeared as guest leader of the Flinders Quartet in 2012-2013, as Principal Viola of the ACO2, has toured Europe with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, and continues to perform casually with the Australian Chamber Orchestra. During 2014, Cameron appeared as guest concertmaster of both the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and Adelaide Symphony Orchestra.

JOSEPH HAYDN (1732-1809)

String Quartet in C major, op 76 no 3, Emperor Allegro Poco adagio. Cantabile Menuet Finale: presto Haydn’s life took an unexpected turn in 1790 with the death of his employer, Prince Nikolaus Esterházy. Nikolaus often spent ten months a year at the relatively remote palace of Eszterháza with his retinue, including musicians for his orchestra, opera house and chapel. Prince Anton, who succeeded Nikolaus, disbanded the orchestra.

Haydn could at last accept invitations to travel – while he had been working in the seclusion of Eszterháza his music had become renowned throughout Europe. (As he once quipped, isolation had ‘forced me to be original’.) His visits to London in the early 1790s established him as the most sought-after composer of his time.

In 1795 Haydn settled in Vienna, and devoted himself largely to choral and vocal music. The only kind of instrumental music that interested him at this time was his beloved string quartet. Op 76 was completed in 1797 and is dedicated to the Hungarian Count Erdödy (a member of the same family which supported Beethoven some years later). Op 76 is the work of someone in full control of his technique, with the same sense of popular idiom and expansive scale as we hear in works written for the large, appreciative middle class audience of London.

In London, Haydn had experienced the galvanising effect of the mass singing of the National Anthem, something that Imperial Austria did not so far have. On returning to Vienna he agreed to write a similar tune to words by Lorenz Haschka to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Franz II. This Volkslied (a ‘folk-song’ or ‘song of the people’) was sung to the Imperial couple at the Burgtheater on 12 February 1797. Never one to waste a good tune, Haydn used it as the theme for the variations that form the slow movement of this work.

The Imperial connections don’t stop there, though. As Marc Vignal has noted, the first movement begins with an acrostic: the notes G-E-F-D-C ‘spell’ G(ott) E(rhalte) F(ranz) D(en) C/K(aiser) (God preserve the Emperor Franz), the first line of Haschka’s poem, though the theme thus spelled is by no means ‘dignified’, as the movement hurtles forward with a trademark mixture of sheer fun and sophisticated technique.

After the variations on the famous theme, Haydn offers a disarmingly simple menuet that contrasts with its chromatic, introspective trio. The finale begins with a terse gesture in the minor key, though any seriousness is ultimately dispelled by Haydn’s humour. © Gordon Kerry 2004/15

R O S S E DWA R D S (BORN 1943)

Gallipoli Ross Edwards’ music reconnects with elemental forces and restores its traditional association with ritual and dance. Universal in that it is concerned with age-old mysteries surrounding humanity, it is at the same time deeply connected to its roots in Australia, celebrating its cultural diversity, and drawing inspiration from its natural environment – especially birdsong and the mysterious patterns and drones of insects.

Ross Edwards’ compositions include orchestral, choral, chamber and vocal music, children’s music, film scores, a chamber opera and music for dance. His Dawn Mantras greeted the new millennium from the sails of the Sydney Opera House in a worldwide telecast. Works designed for the concert hall, sometimes requiring special lighting, movement, costume and visual accompaniment, include his Fourth Symphony Star Chant; the Oboe Concerto Bird Spirit Dreaming, which Diana Doherty premiered with the Sydney Symphony and Lorin Maazel, subsequently performing it with the New York Philharmonic and many other orchestras around the world; and The Heart of Night, for shakuhachi and orchestra, composed for Grand Master Riley Lee. Recent commissions include Sacred Kingfisher Psalms for The Song Company, Ars Nova Copenhagen and the Edinburgh Festival; a Piano Sonata for Bernadette Harvey commissioned by the Sydney Conservatorium; Full Moon Dances, a saxophone concerto for Amy Dickson and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra; Five Senses, to poems of Judith Wright; Zodiac Dances for the Houston Ballet; his String Quartet no 3 Summer Dances, for the Kelemen Quartet, commissioned by Kim Williams for Musica Viva Australia and Harp Mantras for the Seven Harp Ensemble and didjeridu master William Barton.

The composer writes: I felt honoured when the Ian Potter Cultural Foundation invited me to create a musical work to help commemorate the 100th Anniversary of ANZAC, and I was especially pleased that it was to be performed by the Australian String Quartet, a distinguished ensemble with which I have collaborated over many years and for which I have respect and admiration. I’ve tried to make the music both memorable and approachable to as wide as possible an audience without compromising the solemnity of its purpose.

Gallipoli ranges between the sorrowful, drone-based questioning with which it begins and graceful, almost dance-like tenderness. There are contained outbursts of anguish as well as consolatory moments which draw briefly upon harmonic idioms of the period, until finally, an ethereal violin melody wanders heavenwards – as if still seeking an answer – over a prayer for peace from the Agnus Dei of my Mass of the Dreaming. © Ross Edwards 2014

DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH (1906-1975) String Quartet no 3 in F major, op 73 Allegretto Moderato con moto Allegro non troppo Adagio Moderato Having been denounced by the official newspaper, Pravda in 1936, Shostakovich regained precarious favour with the Soviet regime when his Fifth Symphony appeared the following year.

By 1946, however, his stocks were falling again. Hostile critics noted that while the Seventh Symphony offered a vision of triumph during Russia’s darkest house, the Eighth was relatively pessimistic even though victory seemed assured. Despite Stalin’s ‘suggestion’ that the Ninth Symphony should be a choral paean to Soviet power, Shostakovich felt compelled to write a short, apparently light work full of barely concealed irony. In 1948, he was again denounced, and forced to publicly acknowledge his ‘errors’. Much of Shostakovich’s work from the mid-1940s was written, as he put it, ‘for the drawer’ where works like the Violin Concerto no 1 stayed until Stalin’s death in 1953.

The Third Quartet was Shostakovich’s major preoccupation during 1946 and, as Norman Lebrecht puts it, ‘opens a triptych of private torture-chamber works’. Where the Second displayed the resilience of a Russian folk song in the face of a series of variations, the Third is a much more symphonic piece. The first movement is a complex structure of sonata and learned elements, the second presaging doom in its particular use of the viola. The third movement creates drama out of the alternation of bars with three and two beats respectively.

The fourth is a passacaglia – where the relentless repetition of a theme is countered by a gradual loss of energy. That theme occurs at a climatic moment in the finale, which eventually reaches a kind of peace.

It was long the accepted wisdom that the Borodin Quartet, who premiered it, had insisted that the quartet’s five movements had the following subtitles: I Calm unawareness of the future cataclysm II Rumblings of unrest and anticipation III The forces of war unleashed IV Homage to the dead V The eternal question: Why? And for what? referring, of course, to the then-recent war. Scholars have found no evidence for this in contemporary documents or in the published scores, but assuming that Shostakovich sanctioned them it was perhaps to forestall the charge of ‘formalism’: Soviet code for decadent, Western-influenced music which is more concerned with itself than with proletarian values.

But we have on the authority of the Beethoven Quartet’s Fyodor Druzhinin that at a 1964 rehearsal the composer was reduced to tears. © Gordon Kerry 2003/15
