Welcome to our fall season!

What a joy it is to be part of Charlotte’s vibrant and burgeoning arts community, especially when we have the opportunity to collaborate with fellow artists and arts organizations whose missions are synergistic with our own.

Tonight, we’re pleased to partner with First United Methodist Church in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Charlotte Chapter of the American Guild of Organists — an organization that uplifts the importance of organ and choral music through scholarships, musician support, and presenting high-quality performances throughout the Charlotte area.

We’re delighted to welcome Grammy Award-winning organist Paul Jacobs to Charlotte, and thrilled that Conductor Laureate and Music Adviser Christopher Warren-Green is back on the podium to lead the Charlotte Symphony in works that showcase the power and beauty of the King of Instruments — including Saint-Saëns’ glorious “Organ” Symphony.

If you haven’t already purchased your subscription for the Charlotte Symphony’s new season, I encourage you to explore the stellar lineup of classical, film, pops, and family concerts on offer and curate your own concert experience.

I look forward to seeing you at the Knight Theater for the official start of the Bank of America Classical Series, October 7–8, when we welcome guest conductor Andrew Grams and cellist Inbal Segev for Elgar’s powerful Cello Concerto in E minor.

Thank you for joining us and enjoy the performance.

David Fisk President & CEO

The CSO is…

MORE THAN WHAT’S ONSTAGE.

Did you know that the Charlotte Symphony is much more than what you see on the Belk and Knight Theater stages?

Beyond the Classical, Pops, Family, and Movie Series in the theaters, we work to uplift, entertain, and educate our community through inclusive education programs and community performances.

• The CSO has three programs for young musicians: the Youth Orchestra, the Youth Philharmonic, and the Youth Ensemble.

CSO musicians participate in coaching throughout the year, and even perform with the young musicians!

• Reaching approximately 15,000 students each season, we also have extensive school programs, including Project Harmony, “Music and the Holocaust,” and “One Musical Family” Education Concerts.

• We perform throughout the region, from community parks and schools to breweries, senior care centers, and places of worship all season long.

The CSO is…FOR EVERYONE. To learn more, visit charlottesymphony.org

The Charlotte Chapter of the American Guild of Organists was founded on October 31, 1947. The guild seeks to set and maintain high musical standards and to promote understanding and appreciation of all aspects of organ and choral music; to raise the standard of efficiency of organists by examinations in organ playing, in music theory, general music knowledge, and to grant certificates as Fellows, Associates, or Choir Masters to members of the guild who pass examinations. Membership is not limited to organists but is open to all professions and members of the public with an interest in organs, organ music and choral music. The guild was chartered by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York in 1896, with the authority to grant certificates of associate or fellow to members who passed examinations. The Charlotte Chapter exists alongside the city’s longest-standing arts organizations and since 1947 has sponsored choir festivals, organ recitals, choral clinics, clergy-organist events with guest speakers, study groups, scholarships for local young organists, and performance venues for locally and nationally recognized artists. The chapter will be honoring and recognizing its 75th anniversary year from September, 2022 through June, 2023.

Anniversary Vision Statement: To foster and support an interconnected sense of belonging within the Charlotte community’s diversity of cultures.

The 1967 M.P. Möller Opus 10260 and the Kathryn Stephenson Pipe Organ Foundation The 3-manual, 60-rank M.P. Möller organ at First United Methodist Church Charlotte was completed in June 1967 and replaced a 4-manual Hook & Hastings. The September 10, 1967 dedication concert was played by Dr. George Markey of Westminster Choir College. The instrument presents itself as historically and locally unique in construction quality among other instruments of the same era. It represents a creative pinnacle in J.P. Möller tonal design, with inherent versatility towards multiple musical styles from Renaissance polyphony to the smorgasbord of late 20th and early 21st century classical music, making the instrument a true American classic pipe organ. This weekend’s concerts mark the instrument’s 55th anniversary.

The Kathryn Stephenson Pipe Organ Foundation was established in 2016 in honor of Kathryn Stephenson, who first served as organist at First Methodist, Charlotte, from 19651973 and then later in the early 2000s. She was influential in the design of the Opus 10260.

The Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) organization, has a vision of underwriting a variety of events that highlight the use of the pipe organ through venues such as concerts, educational workshops, and new musical compositions to the benefit of the Charlotte metro arts community and patrons, and to help with the costs associated with the continuous maintenance needed for such a grand instrument.

All contributions are tax-deductible.

Paul Jacobs organ

Heralded as “one of the major musicians of our time” by Alex Ross of The New Yorker and as “America’s leading organ performer” by The Economist, the internationally celebrated organist Paul Jacobs combines a probing intellect and extraordinary technical mastery with an unusually large repertoire, both old and new. He has performed to great critical acclaim on five continents and in each of the fifty United States. The only organist ever to have won a Grammy Award — in 2011 for Messiaen’s towering “Livre du SaintSacrément,”— Mr. Jacobs is an eloquent champion of his instrument both in the United States and abroad.

No other organist is repeatedly invited as soloist to perform with prestigious orchestras, thus making him a pioneer in the movement for the revival of symphonic music featuring the organ. Mr. Jacobs regularly appears with the Chicago Symphony, Cincinnati Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, Edmonton Symphony, Indianapolis Symphony, Kansas City Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Lucerne Symphony Orchestra, Minnesota Orchestra, Montreal Symphony, Nashville Symphony, National Symphony Orchestra, Pacific Symphony, Phoenix Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, Toledo Symphony, and Utah Symphony, among others.

In the 2021-22 season Paul Jacobs made debuts with the Warsaw Philharmonic in the Lou Harrison Organ Concerto led by Alexander Shelley, and with the NFM Wroclaw Philharmonic both in recital and with the Horatio Parker Organ Concerto and Guilmant’s Organ Symphony in D Minor led by Giancarlo Guerrero. He returns to the Chicago Symphony for Handel Organ Concerti led by Dame Jane Glover, and debuts with the Boston Modern Orchestra Project in an organ spectacular featuring the Jongen Symphonie Concertante and Paulus Grand Concerto conducted by Gil Rose. In recital he can be heard with the Pacific Symphony, Parlance Chamber Concerts, the Eccles Organ Festival, and with the Bethlehem Music Series. (continued next page)

During the 2020-21 season Mr. Jacobs performed with the Philadelphia Orchestra led by Yannick Nezet-Seguin for their digital streaming series including the Poulenc Organ Concerto, as well as chamber versions of Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 and Das Lied von der Erde; with the Cleveland Orchestra and Franz Welser-Most for the Poulenc Concerto, and the Jackson (TN) Symphony. He appeared in recitals with the Madison Symphony, Northrop Auditorium at the University of Minnesota, and in Sun City, AZ. Mr. Jacobs studied at the Curtis Institute of Music, doublemajoring with John Weaver for organ and Lionel Party for harpsichord, and at Yale University with Thomas Murray. He joined the faculty of The Juilliard School in 2003, and was named chairman of the organ department in 2004, one of the youngest faculty appointees in the school’s history. He received Juilliard’s prestigious William Schuman Scholar’s Chair in 2007. In addition to his concert and teaching appearances, Mr. Jacobs is a frequent performer at festivals across the world, and has appeared on American Public Media’s Performance Today, Pipedreams, and Saint Paul Sunday, as well as NPR’s Morning Edition, ABC-TV’s World News Tonight, and BBC Radio 3. In 2017 he received an honorary doctorate from Washington and Jefferson College.

PROGR AM NOTES

by Ken Metzer

GEORG FRIDERIC HANDEL born: February 23, 1685 in Halle, Germany died: April 14, 1759 in London, England

Organ Concerto in F Major, hwv 295

“The Cuckoo and the Nightingale” (1739) premiere: April 4, 1739 in London, England

Handel completed his F-Major Organ Concerto, HWV 295, on April 2, 1739. Two days later, Handel himself was the soloist in the Concerto’s premiere. The performance took place during an intermission between acts of Israel in Egypt. Handel’s oratorio was also receiving its premiere at the April 4, 1739 concert at the King’s Theater in the Haymarket in London.

The Concerto is in four movements, alternating measured and quick tempos (Larghetto; Allegro; Larghetto; Allegro).

The lively second movement, featuring motifs that evoke the sounds of bird calls, inspired the Concerto’s nickname, “The Cuckoo and the Nightingale.”

FELIX MENDELSSOHN born: February 3, 1809 in Hamburg, Germany died: November 4, 1847 in Leipzig, Germany

Symphony No. 5 in D Major, Opus 107 “Reformation” (1830) premiere: November 15, 1832 in Berlin, Germany

Mendelssohn composed his Symphony in D Major between September 1829 and April 1830. He intended the work for the 300th anniversary of the 1530 Augsburg Confession, a document that set forth the basic tenets of the Protestant faith, thereby inaugurating the great Reformation.

The political turmoil in Europe that culminated in the July Revolution led to the cancellation of the planned celebrations of the Augsburg Confession. French conductor FrançoisAntoine Habeneck agreed to premiere Mendelssohn’s new symphony with his Paris Conservatoire Orchestra — but, during the first rehearsal, the musicians objected to the work so strenuously that the premiere was cancelled.

The premiere finally took place in November 1832, under the composer’s direction, at the Singakadamie in Berlin. At that time, the new work was referred to as a “Symphony in Celebration of a Church Revolution”. Later, the Symphony became known as the “Reformation.”

The “Reformation” Symphony is in four movements. The first begins with a slow-tempo introduction (Andante) that twice culminates in the strings’ radiant presentation of the ascending “Dresden Amen.” This leads to the principal, dramatic Allegro con fuoco, in which the “Amen” makes yet another appearance. The charm of the ensuing Allegro vivace stands in stark contrast to the storm and stress of its predecessor. The brief third movement (Andante) is in the character of a song without words. The final movement ensues without pause. It opens with the woodwinds’ invocation of “Ein’ feste Burg ist unser Gott” (“A Mighty Fortress is our God”), a chorale attributed to Martin Luther.

The melody grows in majestic splendor. The ensuing Allegro vivace also features the Luther melody. A final, majestic statement of the chorale provides the stirring conclusion.

CAMILLE SAINT-SAËNS born: October 9, 1835 in Paris, France died: December 16, 1921 in Algiers, Algeria

Symphony No. 3 in C minor, Opus 78 “Organ Symphony” (1886) premiere: May 19, 1886 in London, England

Camille Saint-Saëns composed his Third Symphony at the request of the Philharmonic Society of London. Saint-Saëns had been contemplating a new symphony for some time.

A few months after the 1885 commission, the composer informed the Philharmonic that the work was: ...well under way. It will be terrifying, I warn you...This imp of a symphony has gone up a half-tone; it didn’t want to stay in B minor and it is now in C minor. It will be a treat for me to conduct it. Will it be a treat, though, for the people who hear it? That is the question. It’s you who asked for it. I wash my hands of the whole thing.

The premiere of the Third Symphony took place in London’s St. James’s Hall on May 19, 1886. The evening was a great personal triumph for Saint-Saëns. The composer led the Philharmonic Society of London in his new Symphony, and was also the soloist in his Fourth Piano Concerto.

The London audience’s response to the Symphony was generally positive. After the concert, Saint-Saëns was given an audience with the Prince of Wales, later crowned King Edward VII. The January 9, 1887 Paris premiere, again conducted by Saint-Saëns, was yet another success. After the performance, as Saint-Saëns descended the podium, composer Charles Gounod proclaimed: “There goes the French Beethoven!”

The Saint-Saëns Third Symphony, with its stunning orchestration and ingenious thematic manipulation, is one of the most important French symphonies of the second half of the nineteenth century. Saint-Saëns did not compose another symphony during the final thirty-five years of his life. As he remarked: “I have given all that I have to give...What I have done I shall never do again.”

PROGR AM NOTES

page 21

The Third Symphony comprises two principal sections, each with two parts. Part I begins with a brief slowtempo introduction (Adagio), leading to the principal Allegro moderato, and a restless string figure that will appear in various guises throughout the Symphony. In the slow-tempo portion of Part I (Poco adagio), the organ accompanies the violins, violas and cellos, as they play the affecting principal melody.

The opening portion of Part II (Allegro moderato), serving the function of the traditional scherzo, opens with a dialogue between the strings and thundering timpani. A quicksilver Presto episode introduces, according to the composer, “a fantastic spirit.” The final portion of the Organ Symphony (Maestoso; Allegro) brings the work to a grand conclusion.
