a note from riccardo muti zell music director

Welcome to Symphony Center, home of the great Chicago Symphony Orchestra. As one who has advocated for the preservation of culture and championed music as a universal language all my life, nothing pleases me more than to see you at concerts before this orchestra that has given beauty and cultural enrichment to generations.

From start to finish, this season includes music of personal significance. When I first led the CSO, at the Ravinia Festival in 1973, it was in Mussorgsky’s Pictures from an Exhibition, a work we revisit this October. At that first concert, the Orchestra made a profound impression on me, as I realized it was an ensemble without limits. I am grateful to the musicians of all the orchestras that I have conducted around the world, but the CSO is truly unique and continues to amaze me. The way the musicians have responded to my musical ideas and sense of family that we immediately created together is what inspired me to accept this prestigious commitment. We love each other very much, and the years have gone by very, very fast.

We close the season with Beethoven’s Missa solemnis, which I have often compared to Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel—not only for its monumentality but also as a symbol of our humanity approaching the divine. Perhaps it is more than a coincidence that my first score to Missa solemnis is dated 1973, the same year I was introduced to this great orchestra.

I look forward to all the music we will make together and to feeling your presence at concerts throughout the season.

a note from the chair and the president It is our pleasure to welcome you to Symphony Center for the opening weeks of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s 132nd season.

This season pays tribute to Riccardo Muti as we celebrate his artistry, which has profoundly moved audiences during his past twelve seasons as music director. During the week of concerts, Muti conducts the U.S. premiere of a rediscovered work by composer Samuel ColeridgeTaylor and marks his 500th concert with the CSO since his debut at the Ravinia Festival in 1973. The following week, Maestro Muti and the CSO mark seventy years since the death of Sergei Prokofiev, a composer who has a special history with the Orchestra, in performances of his Symphony no. 5. For his third subscription program, Muti conducts Franck’s Le chasseur maudit and Mussorgsky’s Pictures from an Exhibition, which he conducted on his debut concert with the CSO. Yefim Bronfman joins Muti and the CSO during the opening concerts and Symphony Ball, performing as soloist in Brahms’s Piano Concerto no. 1 and Mozart’s Piano Concerto no. 22, respectively.

This fall, the CSO is joined by esteemed guest conductors including Constantine Kitsopoulos, Christian Thielemann, Xian Zhang, Edward Gardner, Harry Bicket, and Manfred Honeck. Violinist Christian Tetzlaff, pianist Simon Trpčeski, and cellist Gautier Capuçon are featured soloists. In October, there are four performances of the 1984 Academy Award–winning film Amadeus with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, and we are pleased to welcome the Joffrey Ballet to Orchestra Hall for three performances, including the world premieres of two ballets. In addition, the CSO returns to Wheaton College in November. Marking both the start of the twenty-fifth season of CSO MusicNOW and its return to Symphony Center, Mead Composer-in-Residence Jessie Montgomery and musicians from the CSO perform two concerts of contemporary works this fall.

The Symphony Center Presents season opens its Jazz series with pianist and composer Chucho Valdés in La Creación (The Creation), an SCP co-commission for big band, Afro-Cuban percussion, and vocals. Next, violinist Midori and pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet perform a duo recital to begin the SCP Chamber Music series, while David Fray launches the SCP Piano series with works by Schubert and Liszt. A highlight of the season is the return of the Berliner Philharmoniker, conducted by Kirill Petrenko, for its first appearance in Chicago since 2009.

We look forward to seeing you at many concerts in the season ahead and remain grateful for your support of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association.

What is it like to be conducted by Riccardo Muti? To answer this, members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra would argue they have the best seat in the house.

As part of an ongoing series, CSO musicians reflect on the artistry, experience, and myriad qualities Riccardo Muti has contributed since becoming music director in 2010. Here, musicians share insights on aspects of their unique artistic partnership with the maestro and his remarkable style of leadership on and off the podium.

“ The Muti/CSO partnership has certainly blossomed over time, but an extraordinary magical musical connection was obvious on day one.”

Daniel Gingrich Associate Principal Horn

“ Like no other conductor I’ve worked with, Maestro Muti has an incredible ability to show us with his conducting exactly what we need when we need it.

He doesn’t waste gestures when we’re in a groove, but we can always count on his help through difficult transitions or while performing unfamiliar pieces.”

“ As a member of the CSO woodwind section, I want to shed light on a wonderful fact. Maestro Muti has appointed many of us—all of the principal winds as well as section members— and because of his love and commitment to the ever-growing talent of this orchestra, he leaves us with a great sense of pride as we will always strive to be one of the greatest orchestras in the world. His trust in us speaks volumes to his legacy and his incredible dedication to choosing great musicians to carry the torch for generations to come.”

Stephen Williamson Principal Clarinet

“ Maestro Muti is the most trusted conductor that we collaborate with because he is always prepared, knowing what he is asking us to do, and how to gesture to get the desired outcome. He also expects the best of us in rehearsal and concert.”

Mark Ridenour Assistant Principal Trumpet

“ Maestro Muti tenaciously insists on constantly deepening our dedication to artistic discipline and refinement. Dolce, cantabile, and sostenuto are integral elements of a truly great ensemble that keep the CSO in the vanguard of the world’s elite symphony orchestras.”

Michael Mulcahy Trombone

“ Maestro Muti‘s consistent drive for excellence and the highest standard of music coincide with his generosity, humanity, and true love and care for the members of the Chicago Symphony and their families. One of the things that has impressed me about Maestro Muti beyond his capabilities and expertise on the podium is his kindness and compassion as a human being and family man. From the time he started and his wife Cristina bounced my eighteenmonth-old on her lap, he has consistently inquired, ‘How are the bambini?,’ wanting to know if they’re coming to concerts and for them to come and say, ‘hello.’ ” Wendy Koons Meir Violin

“ We are very sensitive to his gestures and facial expressions.

From the moment he walks onto the podium, we have a sense of how the performance might go, but with us, he always becomes calm, content, and energetic. His mood gets lighter during the concert, although he’s tough when he hears or sees something that should not happen. We like to please his good taste.”

Mihaela Ionescu Violin

Muti leads the Chicago Symphony and Civic orchestras in rehearsal on the stage of the Jay Pritzker Pavilion at Millennium Park, September 20, 2018.

“ His unique personality has been the perfect match, in addition to his exquisite conducting and inspirational leadership of one of the most iconic orchestras in the world.

I feel extremely lucky to be able to share the stage with him and to learn from his unique spirit. Without any doubt, he will always be ‘The Maestro’ for me.”

Esteban Batallán Principal Trumpet The Adolph Herseth Principal Trumpet Chair, endowed by an anonymous benefactor

“ Maestro Muti quickly realized that his musicians not only understood him but also greatly appreciated his musicianship, and hence were open to his leadership.

This has resulted in growth in the performance level of the Orchestra. Now we can quickly understand the musical language of composers from Mozart to Verdi to Varèse.”

“ I joined the Chicago Symphony in 1962 and have had the immense honor and privilege of performing under some of the world’s most brilliant and acclaimed conductors.

It is my humble opinion that Maestro Muti is ‘NONPAREIL.’ Maestro Muti’s extraordinary combination of musicianship, humanity, and artistic vision makes every concert he conducts a truly remarkable occasion. He has taken the Orchestra to new heights and has given the city of Chicago an invaluable gift.”

Lynne Turner Harp

Stephen Lester Bass

“ Maestro Muti has come to enjoy friendships with each member of the Orchestra. These are friendships based on the joy of making music together. We collaborate with him in the most collegial manner. He loves being with all musicians, sharing stories and experiences that enhance our relationship to him.”

“ He genuinely cares about doing justice to this music, getting to the depth of it rather than just an on-the-surface, generic interpretation. That is really inspiring to see and to be a part of.”

Born January 27, 1756; Salzburg, Austria Died December 5, 1791; Vienna, Austria

Symphony No. 34 in C Major, K. 338 This is the last symphony Mozart wrote in Salzburg, the picture-postcard town he hated, from the residents whose lowbrow tastes tried his patience—“one can’t have any proper social intercourse with those people”—to the “coarse, slovenly, dissolute court musicians” for whom he often wrote.

Mozart started talking about leaving Salzburg as early as 1773, but since he was still a teenager, he realized that for the next few years he would simply have to escape from time to time, accepting performing gigs and commissions in places he longed to visit, maybe even live. “Salzburg is no place for me,” he wrote to his father from Munich in 1777, where he openly advertised his availability for a permanent job. The next year, he wrote home from Strasbourg, “Only you, dearest father, can sweeten the bitterness of Salzburg for me.” But back in Salzburg, Mozart continued to write music that showed no signs of his discontent—the delightful Posthorn Serenade, the brilliant Coronation Mass, and this C major symphony—one of the last things he wrote before he finally got out for good.

Mozart dated the manuscript August 29, Salzburg 1780, and his sister Nannerl’s diary says that he conducted it at court on

COMMENTS

September 2, 3, and 4. By then, he already knew that he was about to leave for Munich to oversee rehearsals for Idomeneo, his newest opera, commissioned for the winter carnival season there.

We don’t know whether Mozart set aside work on the opera in order to write this symphony or whether they shared space on his writing table (we do know that when he arrived in Munich in early November, so much of the opera was still unfinished that rehearsals couldn’t begin for several weeks). Idomeneo created so much advance buzz that Salzburgers made the trip to Munich for the premiere, so perhaps Mozart’s assessment of his hometown crowd was unfair. In any event, he was about to break free of Salzburg at last: while he was in Munich, he was summoned to Vienna by the archbishop, and by mid-March he had taken up residence in Vienna, where he would spend the rest of his short life.

This C major symphony, which turned out to be his Salzburg farewell, has just three movements. The symphony opens with the kind of fanfare-like material Mozart would still use at

the end of his career in the overtures to Così fan tutte and La clemenza di Tito. At some point, Mozart ripped the second-movement minuet out of the manuscript, leaving only the tantalizing first fourteen measures, simply because they were written on the back of the last page of the opening Allegro.

The “missing” minuet remains a mystery: not only do we not know whether Mozart ever finished it, but we also don’t know why he chose to place it second rather than third, which was his customary practice, or even why it was torn out. The surviving middle movement is marked Andante di molto and then emended with a note in the concertmaster’s part suggesting that the music needed to move more quickly.

The finale is a jig, the last of its kind in one of Mozart’s symphonies.

Although Mozart still wrote one more symphony for Salzburg—the Haffner, known today as no. 35—he was by then a satisfied Viennese citizen, and his hometown was no more than a miserable memory.

Le tombeau de Couperin, Suite for Orchestra Considered too small and delicate for military service, Maurice Ravel realized that he could serve his country by writing music. But when his brother Edouard enlisted at the start of World War I, Ravel didn’t want to sit on the sidelines. At the age of thirty-nine, he managed to get accepted as a nurse’s aide, leaving behind a number of unfinished scores and his seventy-four-year-old

mother. Music was still on his mind, however. In October 1914, his first month on the job, he wrote to his former pupil, Roland-Manuel, about two new piano pieces he was planning, including a French suite—“No, it isn’t what you think: La Marseillaise will not be in it, but it will have a forlane and a gigue; no tango, however.” That was the beginning of Le tombeau de Couperin.

In March 1915 Ravel became a truck driver for the Thirteenth Artillery Regiment. (He named the truck Adélaïde and signed his letters Chauffeur Ravel.) It was a dangerous, exhausting,

COMMENTS

and stressful assignment, and his health suffered. At least for a while, music took a back seat to the more pressing concerns of life and death. Early in 1917, his mother died; it was a terrible blow, which contributed even further to his physical and mental decline, and he was discharged from the army a few months later. While recuperating at his godmother’s country house, Ravel returned to writing music, beginning with the French suite for piano.

Ravel had been tempered by his first-hand experience of war.

A frothy symphonic poem, Vien, which he abandoned during the war, now became the bitter La valse. And the benign piano suite he had long envisioned, perhaps as a genial bit of nationalism, now carried the horrible weight of tragedy: each movement was dedicated to a friend who had died at the front. Back in familiar surroundings, but still haunted by memories of the war, Ravel completed the suite he now called Le tombeau de Couperin.

What had begun as a homage to a golden era of French music—the age of the composer François Couperin and the eighteenth century in general—now paid gentle tribute to the victims of World War I. Ravel designed his own title page for the score, which included a draped funerary urn. The piano suite contained six movements; as the composer promised, there was no hint of the Marseillaise. (Nor was there any tango, perhaps because that popular dance was then thought too scandalous for the concert hall.)

Before the war, Ravel’s own orchestrations of his piano pieces Mother Goose and the Valses nobles et sentimentales were wildly popular. In 1919, after the first performance of Le tombeau de Couperin, he began to orchestrate four of the six movements. As Roland-Manuel wrote, “This metamorphosis of piano pieces into symphonic works was a game for Ravel, a game played to perfection, so that the transcription outdid the charm of the original.” Le tombeau de Couperin is arguably Ravel’s greatest success in the sport. The translation from piano to full orchestra is handled with an almost impossible

finesse; Ravel carefully weighed every choice of instrument, showing impeccable concern for color, in all its subtle modulations, as well as for clarity and balance. The orchestration is a work of both enormous care and extreme economy.

Le tombeau de Couperin is the gentlest of memorials—it’s about memory, not war. It has neither the morbid sadness of Richard Strauss’s Metamorphosen nor the anger of Dmitri Shostakovich’s grand wartime symphonies. It evokes those it honors, not the tragic circumstances of their deaths. Ravel borrows the forms of the baroque dance suite, beginning with a

prelude that sets the presiding graceful tone.

(The piano version includes a fugue and a toccata that Ravel chose not to orchestrate.) The second movement is a forlane, a northern Italian dance; before composing a note of his own, Ravel transcribed a forlane by Couperin as a way of getting to know the style. Ravel’s Menuet (like the Prélude) gives the oboe a prominent role. The Rigaudon that concludes Ravel’s suite is an old dance from Provence that was sometimes used

by Rameau and Bach, and much later by Grieg in his Holberg Suite, though seldom with such brilliance and panache.

Cathy Marston on Heimat

W

hen Ashley Wheater asked me to create a choreography to Wagner’s symphonic poem, Siegfried Idyll, I agreed before I had any concrete ideas about how I would interpret the work. Most of my ballets are based on preexisting stories. It is well known that Wagner wrote this piece in Switzerland— where he lived with his family—in 1869 as a birthday gift for Cosima shortly after the birth of their son, Siegfried. He asked his musician friends to perform it in their home, Tribschen, near Lucerne, on the staircase leading to their bedroom as she awakened. But beyond this, there is no clear narrative in the work. As it happens, I live in Switzerland with my family, near Bern. Listening to the music repeatedly as I walked through the Swiss countryside, it seemed to me to capture exactly the landscape around me: the greenest of green leaves, deep blue skies, and mountaintops majestically towering over glimmering lakes. Of course, I had to visit Tribschen, where there is now a Wagner museum, and try to absorb the exact view that must have inspired this music.

Yet, beyond tracing the music back to its source, what could I bring to this work, or perhaps, rather, bring out of it? The key, for me, was to focus on two words: family and home.

My interpretation of this music has become a celebration of these things, and is structured, choreographically, as if it were a visualization of a “family day”—with all the twists and turns that that takes. I’ve chosen the title, Heimat, in part because Wagner wrote the piece at home in Switzerland for his family, and while choreographing to this music, my mind was often inspired by my own home in Switzerland, where I live with my husband and two children. The German word Heimat has a deeper meaning than the English word “home,” however. A friend described it to me as “somewhere you feel spiritually and even creatively at home, not just where you live or where you are from.” And so I felt that this title is also an acknowledgment of what Joffrey Ballet and Chicago have become for me; it’s my third collaboration with the company, and I feel it to be just that—a creative home, for which I am very grateful.

Siegfried Idyll Although Cosima Wagner was born on December 24, she chose to celebrate her birthday on the twenty-fifth. Her diary entry for Sunday, December 25, 1870, reads: When I woke up I heard a sound, it grew ever louder, I could no longer imagine myself in a dream, music was sounding, and what music! After it had died away, R. came in to me with the five children and put into my hands the score of his “symphonic birthday greeting.” I was in tears, but so, too, was the whole household; R. had set up his orchestra on the stairs and thus consecrated our Tribschen forever! The Tribschen Idyll—so the work is called . . .

R. is her beloved Richard, and two of the five children are Cosima’s from her previous marriage to Hans von Bülow, whom she abruptly left for the man that even Hans, a talented pianist and conductor, admitted to be his superior in the world of music. The other three are five-year-old Isolde; Eva, three; and Siegfried, eighteen months—Cosima and Richard Wagner’s children, all born before their marriage on August 25, 1870.

overlooking Lake Lucerne, where Cosima and Richard made their home. Tribschen Idyll is, of course, the Siegfried Idyll—though it wasn’t given that name for many years, after the Wagners elected to publish their private musical communication in exchange for a nice sum of money. (“The secret treasure is to become public property,” Cosima wrote in her diary.)

Richard and Cosima first declared their love for each other on November 28, 1863 (like all the important events in their life together—and many of much lesser significance—it is well documented); at the time, both were married to others—she to Bülow, who was a student of her father, Franz Liszt; he to Minna Planer, an actress four years his senior, from whom he was estranged. The union between Richard and Cosima was consummated in June 1864. The following years brought artistic triumphs and personal scandals as well as an astonishing mixture of private and professional events, including the birth of Isolde, Richard and Cosima’s first child, on the very day that Bülow, still Cosima’s husband, began orchestral rehearsals for Wagner’s newest work, Tristan and Isolde.

In 1869, after the triumphant premieres of Tristan and Isolde and Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Wagner resumed work on the Ring (which he had abandoned twelve years earlier), beginning with act 3 of Siegfried. In June, his only son, inevitably named Siegfried, was born. The following year, the Bülows’ marriage was legally dissolved (Wagner’s wife Minna had died in 1866), and on August 25 Richard and Cosima were married in the Protestant church in Lucerne. Wagner once called 1870 the happiest year of his life.

Wagner composed the Tribschen Idyll later that year to celebrate his private joys: the domestic bliss of married life after years of secretiveness and scandal, the long-hoped-for birth of a son, his undying love for Cosima, and the composition of Siegfried (which in turn promised the completion of the Ring, the single greatest artistic achievement of his life). It was designed to be performed on the steps leading up to Cosima’s bedroom at Tribschen, and its instrumentation

was dictated by the size of the staircase. (The first performance was given by thirteen or fifteen players—regarding this detail, oddly, there is conflicting evidence.) The piece was secretly rehearsed by the conductor Hans Richter, who learned to play the trumpet especially for the occasion (the part is just twelve measures long).

The Idyll, an astonishingly beautiful and extravagant birthday gift from a man not always known for his generosity, was performed three times on Christmas Day in 1870. After the early morning wake-up-call premiere, the household stopped for breakfast. The players then reassembled and the piece was repeated, followed by the wedding march from Lohengrin, Beethoven’s Septet, and yet another performance of the Idyll.

Cosima was used to hearing snatches of extraordinary music around the house, but she immediately recognized that the Idyll was unique in her husband’s output. Wagner called the Idyll a symphony in the autograph score, and, when it was published in 1877, he described it as a “symphonic birthday greeting.” He had struggled with symphonic form as a young composer—he remained fond of a very Beethovenian symphony in C major that he had composed when he was twenty-nine—and continued to sketch ideas for other symphonies into his last years. The month before his death, he spoke to Cosima about a single-movement symphonic work in which the melodies would flow one into another.

T

he Siegfried Idyll—this title apparently dates from a performance in Meiningen in 1877—remains Wagner’s only instrumental work that is regularly played. The main theme is a generous and lilting melody sung

by Brünnhilde in act 3 of Siegfried to the words beginning “Ewig war ich” (I always was, I always am, always in sweet yearning bliss). Wagner claimed that this music came to him during the summer of 1864 at the Villa Pellet, overlooking Lake Starnberg, where he and Cosima consummated their union. (He is contradicted, however, by his own obsessive record keeping: the melody was composed that November 14, when he was alone in Munich.) A second theme, introduced SEPTEMBER–NOVEMBER 2022

by the oboe, is a lullaby Wagner jotted down on New Year’s Eve 1868. The music is unusually intimate and restrained for a composer who lived a life of excess. It’s the most personal of all his works: the title page of the published score refers to “Fidi-Birdsong and Orange Sunrise”; Fidi was a favorite nickname for little Siegfried, and the sunrise was the “incredibly beautiful, fiery glow,” in Cosima’s words, of the wallpaper

in his room when it was struck by the morning sun. More than any other of Wagner’s scores, the Siegfried Idyll marries the private and public sides of the most famous composer of the nineteenth century. The Siegfried of the title is both the third music drama of the Ring cycle and Wagner’s son—who was destined to carry his father’s name and beaked silhouette into the next century.

n this short suite, I have condensed the threeact opera Platée into a highly dynamic telling of the ugly water nymph Platée, who falls for Jupiter’s nasty prank.

However, in this revisited version, I have allowed myself to change the tragic ending of the poor nymph, siding with the obvious victim and making them the unwanted hero of this Greek myth.

Dance Suite from Platée Jean-Philippe Rameau is one of the orchestral world’s neglected masters.

Although he is regularly acknowledged as one of the most important and influential composers of the French baroque, modern symphony orchestras today rarely play his music. When the Chicago Symphony Orchestra performed Rameau’s music for the first time in 1900, the program book painted him as a worthy companion to Bach, pointing out that when he died “all France mourned for him; Paris gave him a magnificent funeral, and in many other towns funeral services a b o v e : Jean-Philippe Rameau, portrait in oil, attributed to Jacques-André-Joseph Aved (1702–1766), ca. 1728.

were held in his honor.” The Orchestra played selections from his opera Castor and Pollux the next season, but Rameau’s music was rarely performed again after that. (From 1963 to 2006, his name did not appear on Chicago Symphony subscription programs once.)

A

contemporary of Bach, Handel, and Vivaldi, Rameau was the greatest French composer of the eighteenth century and one of the giants of the Enlightenment. Like Bach, he was trained as a church organist and choirmaster. After working in the cathedrals in Avignon, Clermont-Ferrand, Dijon (he succeeded his father in the post there), and Lyon, he settled in Paris in 1722. That year, his treatise on music theory, the Traité de l’harmonie, was published, and it proved to be one of the most widely studied textbooks in the history of music.

Like Bruckner, another composer whose career began in the church, Rameau was a late bloomer. His success as a composer dates from 1733, when Hippolyte and Aricie, his first major stage work, was given a triumphant reception at its Paris Opera premiere only six days after the composer’s fiftieth birthday. (It was not without its critics, who found his style an affront to the tradition established by Lully in the late seventeenth century, and the score became the first musical work to be called “baroque” in the critical sense of the word.) Hippolyte and Aricie changed the direction of Rameau’s career, and, over the next thirty years, he turned out another two dozen works for the stage, representing the many kinds of French dramatic music of the day—a number of hybrid forms that combine elements of opera and ballet.

T

he late 1740s were the most productive time of Rameau’s career, and between 1745 and 1749 alone he composed nine

stage works. Platée was written, largely in 1745, for the dauphin’s wedding festivities, which took place at Versailles that March. The theme, regarding a mock marriage between Jupiter and an ugly nymph, Platée, seems oddly ill-suited to the occasion, particularly since the bride, the Spanish princess Maria Teresa, was herself famously unattractive. But apparently Rameau’s delightful music and the riotously comic nature of the plot—highly unexpected in French opera at the time—charmed both the assembled crowd and the happy couple.

Following that single performance, Platée was not performed again until it was given at the Paris Opera four years later, with a revised libretto. It quickly became one of Rameau’s greatest successes.

Dance music lies at the heart of all Rameau’s stage works and is effortlessly integrated into the action, not isolated as a special attraction, as in later opera. Rameau’s knack for writing lively, rhythmical music that naturally invites dance is readily apparent, as is his gift for generous melody. The suite of music from Platée performed this week with Annabelle Lopez Ochoa’s choreography opens with an orchestral storm (Orage), a reminder that Rameau’s mastery of special effects, particularly in the weather department, is comparable to that of his one-time colleague Vivaldi. The storm gives way to a series of dances: the airs for the happy and sad lunatics, a pair of passepieds (named after a dance step, the “pass-foot”), and two minuets (one in the major mode, the other in minor). After an animated pantomime number, two lively rigaudons conclude on a note of good cheer.

The Joffrey Ballet Classically trained to the highest standards, the Joffrey Ballet expresses an inclusive perspective on dance that reflects the diversity of America through its company artists, extensive repertoire, academy, and community engagement programs. The company celebrated sixty-five years of artistic excellence in 2021.

Considered one of the premier companies performing today, the Joffrey plays a vital role in the dance community as one of the largest dance companies and dance-education providers in Chicago and the greater Midwest region.

Ashley Wheater MBE, The Mary B. Galvin Artistic Director Ashley Wheater has dedicated his life to dance.

He was born in Scotland and trained at the Royal Ballet School in England.

He worked with Sir Frederick Ashton, Kenneth MacMillan, and Michael Somes in numerous ballets at Royal Opera House (Covent Garden), including Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, Giselle, Manon, Anastasia, and The Dream. Wheater also danced with Rudolf Nureyev in Nureyev and Friends at the London Coliseum.

On Nureyev’s advice, Wheater joined the London Festival Ballet and danced in his Romeo and Juliet and Sleeping Beauty. He also appeared in Glen Tetley’s Sphinx and Greening and in Festival Ballet’s large repertoire of classics and new creations. Under the artistic direction of John Field, he was promoted to principal dancer at the age of twenty.

In 1982, he joined the Australian Ballet, where he continued dancing principal roles in both P H OTOS BY CHE RYL M ANN

classical and contemporary works, especially John Cranko’s full-length ballets.

In 1985, at the invitation of Gerald Arpino, Wheater joined the Joffrey Ballet. For the next four years, he performed various works by American choreographers including William Forsythe, Gerald Arpino, Mark Morris, Paul Taylor, and Laura Dean, as well as repertoire by Ashton and Cranko.

Joining the San Francisco Ballet in 1989, Wheater continued his creative career working under Helgi Tomasson, and with choreographers James Kudelka, Sir David Bintley, and many more. In 1997, he retired from dancing and was appointed ballet master and, later, assistant to the artistic director of the San Francisco Ballet.

Since his appointment in 2007 as artistic director of the Joffrey Ballet, his passion and commitment to the Joffrey have been evident in the quality that he has brought to the dancing and the repertoire. He has invited world-renowned choreographers, as well as fresh talent, to create new work for the company. Wheater has added new full-length works to the Joffrey’s repertoire, including Lar Lubovitch’s groundbreaking Othello, Ronald Hynd’s The Merry Widow, and Yuri Possokhov’s Don Quixote.

In 2008, Wheater was the recipient of the Boeing Game-Changer Award in recognition of his commitment to community engagement in Chicago and to the celebration of diversity through dance. He sits on the advisory board for Dance magazine, serves as artistic advisor for ChiArts, and is advisor to the arts for the Lincoln Academy of Illinois. In 2010, Wheater, representing the Joffrey Ballet, was named Lincoln Academy Laureate, the highest honor presented by the state of Illinois. In 2013, the Chicago Tribune named him Chicagoan of the Year, and he received the University of Chicago Rosenberger Medal for Outstanding Achievement in the Creative and Performing Arts in 2015. Wheater was appointed a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) by Queen Elizabeth II in 2019.

Cathy Marston Choreographer Cathy Marston is an award-winning choreographer, artistic director, and Clore Cultural Leadership Fellow. After education in Cambridge, she spent two years at the Royal Ballet School before launching a successful international career now spanning over twenty-five years. In August 2023 she becomes director of Ballet Zürich in Switzerland.

Marston’s great gift is to join artistic dots, creating form for stories, emotions, and ideas.

She inherited a passion for literature from her English-teacher parents, and for her, stories inspire dance. As associate artist of the Royal Opera House (Covent Garden) for five years (2002–07), she created a critically acclaimed interpretation of Ibsen’s Ghosts, before the tempest … after the storm—after Shakespeare’s The Tempest—and many other short works. During her six-year tenure directing the Bern Ballet in Switzerland (2007–13), she became influenced by the ideas of German theater traditions, which blended with her background in the British cultural philosophies and her contemporary-ballet dance language, resulting in her unique, hybrid signature. She lends new perspectives to old narratives, for example her adaption of Charles Webb’s novel The Graduate in Mrs. Robinson, Edith Wharton’s novella Ethan Frome in Snowblind, Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, or D.H. Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover.

Likewise, she offers unusual vantage points in her biographically inspired works The Cellist, Victoria, and Witch-hunt. Increasingly recognized for her distinctive style of dance drama, she won the South Bank Sky Arts Award for Best Dance Production for Victoria (Northern Ballet), the UK National Dance Award for The Cellist (the Royal Ballet), and The Suit (Ballet Black), and she has been short-listed for both the Laurence Olivier Awards and National Dance Awards for several other works, including

Jane Eyre and Victoria (Northern Ballet.) In 2020, the International Institute for Dance and Theatre awarded her its Prize for Excellence in International Dance.

Marston has also embraced the digital stage, capturing her works for the screen as well as creating pieces especially for the camera. The Cellist, Victoria, and other short works have been live streamed to cinema/TV and are available on DVD/digital platforms. Her specially created film works include Mrs. Robinson (a short, location-shot adaptation of the full work for San Francisco Ballet); Bertha (Joffrey Ballet); Switchback (Ballet Unleashed); and Drift, in which she also performs. Marston’s portfolio includes creations and collaborations with the Royal Ballet, Joffrey Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, Northern Ballet, English National Ballet, Cuban National Ballet, Danish Royal Ballet, Ballet Black, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, and many more. In addition to commissioned works, she has founded two project-based companies in the UK and Switzerland, respectively: the Cathy Marston Project and Compagnie La Ronde. From these structures, she has self-produced, commissioned, and toured several programs of work.

Colombian-Belgian Lopez Ochoa completed her dance education at the Royal Ballet School of Antwerp. After a twelve-year career in a number of European dance companies, she decided in 2003 to focus solely on choreography. That same year, she was hailed as a rising star of the Dutch dance scene by such publications as the NRC and the Temecula Performing Arts Examiner. She has been creating new works and new forms ever since, and she is frequently invited to teach.

Annabelle Lopez Ochoa is one of the world’s busiest choreographers. In 2006, she imagined a dance for the celebrated Dutch fashion designer Viktor and Rolf’s project at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Between 2005 and 2015, as a member of the dance-theater

collective Fantasten, she successfully created physical theater plays, which have been performed in numerous theaters and festivals throughout the Netherlands. In 2016, Jacob’s Pillow Summer School invited her to join the faculty as a guest contemporary choreographer and in 2018 as classical choreographer. In 2019, she was appointed director of the Contemporary Classical Summer program of the School at Jacob’s Pillow, a position she held for three years.

During the pandemic of 2020, Lopez Ochoa pioneered remote choreography and dance-film creations premiered online. She directed and edited twenty-three short dance films that can be seen on her Vimeo page: https://vimeo.com/ user5593329.

32 ONE HUNDRED THIRT Y-SECOND SE ASON

chicago symphony orchestra The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently hailed as one of the world’s leading orchestras, and in September 2010, renowned Italian conductor Riccardo Muti became its tenth music director.

During his tenure, the Orchestra has deepened its engagement with the Chicago community, nurtured its legacy while supporting a new generation of musicians and composers, and collaborated with visionary artists.

The history of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra began in 1889, when Theodore Thomas, then the leading conductor in America and a recognized music pioneer, was invited by Chicago businessman Charles Norman Fay to establish a symphony orchestra here.

Thomas’s aim to build a permanent orchestra with performance capabilities of the highest quality was realized at the first concerts in October 1891 in the Auditorium Theatre. Thomas served as music director until his death in January 1905—just three weeks after the dedication of Orchestra Hall, the Orchestra’s permanent home designed by Daniel Burnham.

Frederick Stock, recruited by Thomas to the viola section in 1895, became assistant conductor in 1899 and succeeded the Orchestra’s founder. His tenure lasted thirty-seven years, from 1905 to 1942—the longest of the Orchestra’s music directors. Dynamic and innovative, the Stock years saw the founding of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, the first training orchestra in the United States affiliated with a major symphony orchestra, in 1919. Stock also established youth auditions, organized the first subscription concerts especially for children, and began a series of popular concerts.

Three eminent conductors headed the Orchestra during the following decade: Désiré Defauw was music director from 1943 to 1947, Artur Rodzinski assumed the post in 1947–48, and Rafael Kubelík led the ensemble for three seasons from 1950 to 1953.

The next ten years belonged to Fritz Reiner, whose recordings with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra are still considered performance hallmarks. It was Reiner who invited Margaret Hillis to form the Chicago Symphony Chorus in 1957. For the five seasons from 1963 to 1968, Jean Martinon held the position of music director.

Sir Georg Solti, the Orchestra’s eighth music director, served from 1969 until 1991. His arrival launched one of the most successful musical partnerships of our time, and the CSO made its first overseas tour to Europe in 1971 under his direction, along with numerous award-winning recordings. Solti then held

the title of music director laureate and returned to conduct the Orchestra for several weeks each season until his death in September 1997.

Daniel Barenboim was named music director designate in January 1989, and he became the Orchestra’s ninth music director in September 1991, a position he held until June 2006. His tenure was distinguished by the opening of Symphony Center in 1997, highly praised operatic productions at Orchestra Hall, numerous appearances with the Orchestra in the dual role of pianist and conductor, twenty-one international tours, and the appointment of Duain Wolfe as the Chorus’s second director.

Pierre Boulez’s long-standing relationship with the Orchestra led to his appointment as principal guest conductor in 1995. He was named Helen Regenstein Conductor Emeritus in 2006, a position he held until his death in January 2016. Only two others have served as principal guest conductors: Carlo Maria Giulini, who appeared in Chicago regularly in the late 1950s, was named to the post in 1969, serving until 1972; Claudio Abbado held the position from 1982 to 1985. From 2006 to 2010, Bernard Haitink was the Orchestra’s first principal conductor. Cellist Yo-Yo Ma served as the CSO’s Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant from 2010 to 2019. Hilary Hahn became the CSO’s first Artist-in-Residence in 2021, a role that brings her to Chicago for multiple residencies each season.

Jessie Montgomery was appointed Mead Composer-in-Residence in 2021. She follows ten highly regarded composers in this role, including John Corigliano and Shulamit Ran—both winners of the Pulitzer Prize for Music. In addition to composing works for the CSO, Montgomery curates the contemporary MusicNOW series.

The Orchestra first performed at Ravinia Park in 1905 and appeared frequently through August 1931, after which the park was closed for most of the Great Depression. In August 1936, the Orchestra helped to inaugurate the first season of the Ravinia Festival, and it has been in residence nearly every summer since.

Since 1916, recording has been a significant part of the Orchestra’s activities. Releases on CSO Resound, the Orchestra’s independent recording label, include the Grammy Award–winning release of Verdi’s Requiem led by Riccardo Muti. Recordings by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus have earned sixty-three Grammy awards from the Recording Academy.
