a note from the chair and the president It is our pleasure to welcome you to Symphony Center.

We are delighted that you have chosen to come and see the incredible Chicago Symphony Orchestra and other great artists and ensembles performing live in Orchestra Hall. There are so many great concerts here during the months of February and March, but we would like to draw your attention to a few of them.

Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti returns for two remarkable concerts, the first of which not only features Mitsuko Uchida performing Beethoven’s Piano Concerto no. 4 but also celebrates the eighty-fifth birthday of American composer Philip Glass with the CSO’s first performances of his Eleventh Symphony. Glass first came to Chicago in 1952 to study composition at the University of Chicago, and we are delighted to celebrate his music and his connection to our city with these concerts.

For the first time since 2014, Muti conducts Beethoven’s iconic Ninth Symphony with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. The Chorus is prepared by its Director and Conductor Duain Wolfe, who marks his retirement with this program after more than a quarter century leading the ensemble. A tribute to Wolfe appears on page 10. Truly extraordinary artistic forces assemble for this seminal work that culminates in the “Ode to Joy”—a welcome affirmation of friendship and humanity.

In March, the Orchestra also makes its first appearance this season at Wheaton College for a concert conducted by Dame Jane Glover that features organist Paul Jacobs and the CSO’s Principal Oboe William Welter as soloists.

Musicians from the CSO also perform on the second contemporary MusicNOW concert of the season curated by Mead Composer-in-Residence Jessie Montgomery at the Harris Theater.

This is also a time for robust concert offerings by Symphony Center Presents.

In addition to four Piano series recitals, the Chamber Music series features the remarkable trio of Leonidas Kavakos, Emanuel Ax, and Yo-Yo Ma, as well as the Mahler Chamber Orchestra with Mitsuko Uchida. On the Jazz series, Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis performs two programs: one honoring Marsalis’s recent sixtieth birthday and the other, with special guest Bryan Stevenson, paying tribute to important moments and figures in Black history.

For more information on all our concerts, as well as the many educational activities of the CSO’s Negaunee Music Institute, please visit our box office or cso.org. Thank you for supporting great music in Chicago.

“ Our door is always open, our hearts, even more” Community Outreach Concerts Warm Up Muti’s January CSO Residency

By Dennis Polkow

mong the highlights of Riccardo Muti’s three-week January residency with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra were two community outreach concerts. The first occurred on January 14 at Morton East High School in Cicero.

Muti, the CSO’s Zell Music Director, led an all-Beethoven program that included the Coriolan Overture and the Eighth and Fifth symphonies.

Associate Principal Horn Daniel Gingrich, a Morton alumnus, was recognized by the school at the beginning of the concert. “Enough decades had gone by that I wasn’t expecting to recognize anyone, nor anyone to recognize me,” said Gingrich, class of 1971. “But nevertheless, it was definitely fun. After fifty-plus years, the recognition I received was much stronger than I expected. This was our second concert there.” Muti and

of the spheres of the planet. Our music— music of other countries, of different languages—all comes from the soul and the heart. It is universal and very important. A saint once said, ‘Cantare, amantis est.’ To make music, to sing, is an expression of love. Universal love.

“For twenty-five years, I have done Roads of Friendship concerts all over the world. One time, when we were in Nairobi, in Kenya, some wonderful kids did a chorus from an Italian opera, the famous ‘Va, pensiero.’ They were fantastic. They sang with perfect pronunciation of the Italian language. Music can free us to be brothers.

“We will come back to you,” Muti continued to applause. “But my goal is that you also come to us. Don’t be afraid of a famous hall, of people that are ‘competent,’ that think they know everything about music. Such people don’t know anything! They should stay home. You should come.

“That was beautiful, Maestro,” said Mayor Lori Lightfoot, coming into the sanctuary with First Lady Amy Eshleman to greet Muti after the concert, both visibly moved. “This is such a blessing to this community. It lifted everyone’s spirits.

I learned classical music when I was in high school and we learned Messiah from beginning to end. Handel is so distinctive.

Getting to hear this was such a treat.”

A Tribute to

DUAIN WOLFE T

a b o v e : Among numerous other recordings, Wolfe prepared the Chicago Symphony Chorus for these two Grammy Award–winning recordings.

10 CSO.ORG

he Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association celebrates Duain Wolfe on the occasion of his retirement from his role as the Chicago Symphony Chorus’s director and conductor. Only the second director of the Chorus since its founding in the 1957–58 season, he has been the tireless standard-bearer of an ensemble that represents the best in choral performance.

Wolfe first prepared the Chicago Symphony Chorus as a guest for a Ravinia Festival program of opera choruses in August 1993 and again early the following February for performances downtown of Schoenberg’s Friede auf Erden.

Concluding a three-year search, the CSO’s then music director Daniel Barenboim announced that Wolfe would succeed Margaret Hillis, founder and first director of the Chorus. He officially began on June 1, 1994, and since then has prepared the Chorus for over 150 programs during his twenty-eightyear tenure. Clarity, focus, rhythmic precision, power, and transcendent beauty are just a few of the adjectives that have been used to describe the Chorus under his leadership.

Wolfe’s profound knowledge of the operatic and choral canons, appetite for new works, and expert musicianship have resulted in a remarkable legacy of memorable performances. Another element to his success has been his tireless work ethic. His attention to detail and standards for excellence for his myriad responsibilities—from meticulous score study to his understanding of the human voice, from leading expertly organized rehearsals to managing rigorous auditions—have been an inspiration to colleagues, conductors, soloists, and vocal and instrumental musicians. He has also encouraged generations of young musicians with his conducting and mentorship.

Duain Wolfe has prepared the Chicago Symphony Chorus for performances conducted by three CSO music directors— Sir Georg Solti, Daniel Barenboim, and Riccardo Muti— as well as CSO titled conductors Claudio Abbado, Pierre Boulez, and Bernhard Haitink and many distinguished guest conductors. He has worked with CSO Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti on notable performances of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony; landmarks of the Italian vocal literature, including Verdi’s Requiem and four operas—Otello, Macbeth, Falstaff, and Aida—as well as Mascagni’s Cavalleria P HOTOS BY TODD ROS EN BERG U N L ES S OTHERW I S E N OTED

Three Days with Hilary Hahn, the CSO’s Artist-in-Residence

By Graham Meyer

a b o v e : From December 9 to 11, Hilary Hahn gave three performances with the CSO of Dvořák’s Violin Concerto, a work that received its U.S. premiere with the Orchestra in October 1891, 130 years earlier.

16 CSO.ORG

On December 9, 2021, Hilary Hahn strode onstage with her 1865 Vuillaume violin, wearing a Carolina Herrera gown with a red, orange, violet-blue, and lavender skirt, and publicly launched her two-year term as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s Artist-in-Residence with a quadruple-stop downbow. She played Dvořák’s Violin Concerto in A minor with verve and fire, whipsawing from aching lyricism to virtuosic technical passages, spun out with a passion that belied their difficulty. During rests in the solo part, she kept her posture engaged with the Orchestra, leaning into phrases and feeling the articulation, almost as if she were the conductor and not Andrés Orozco-Estrada. After the concerto, the near-capacity audience tried to match her powerful performance with applause, and she graciously rewarded us with the Largo movement from Bach’s Sonata no. 3 for solo violin, played with a contemplative intimacy that held the audience rapt.

The subscription concert marked Hahn’s first local appearance since the June announcement of her appointment as the CSO’s

Artist-in-Residence. She is the first person on whom the Orchestra has ever bestowed the title, and while she holds it, she will make multiple visits per year to Chicago for music making and community building. “Music is bonding,” Hahn says. “It’s healing. Every one of us has something in common beyond being in the hall at the same place, at the same time, listening to the same piece.” Hahn continued, “I think the common connections of humanity and music are really deep, and that’s what I like to explore in a residency.”

D

uring her December visit, organized by the CSO’s Negaunee Music Institute, Hahn spent a school-day morning at Northside College Preparatory High School.

For a session in the Cedric L. Hampton Center for the Performing Arts, she coached four young players on Grażyna Bacewicz’s Quartet for Four Violins, in what Hahn said was her first-ever coaching of a chamber group. After the quartet played through the piece and a gentle insistence that the shy group bow for applause, she asked,

surprisingly, “Have you listened to much organ music?” She talked about how the theme of the piece should pop out of the texture because of its distinctive character, something that’s easy to do on a pipe organ by changing the registration.

She took the players through a series of experiments—“try it drier,” “close your eyes,” “find the space inside the sound”—and wrapped up with compliments and more applause.

She then coached a string quartet on Waiting in the Misty Woodland, a piece newly composed by the quartet’s violist, Ellen Campbell. The piece jumped mercurially among the gamut of string articulations, from pizzicatos to long bowings. After the playthrough, Hahn waxed poetic about the opportunity offered when a musician works with a living composer, something she knows quite a bit about, prominently from her album In 27 Pieces: The Hilary Hahn Encores, a collection of twenty-seven encore-length commissions (Hahn said learning the music was “for me, the equivalent of twenty-seven violin concertos”).

“The composer can plant inspirational or aspirational ideas for the sound-world of the piece in the minds of the players, and the performers’ job is to inhabit it,” Hahn said. “The more rewarding it is to inhabit, the better,” she added. Campbell described the essence of the piece as the experience of traveling for Thanksgiving, seeing autumnal scenes through the car window, and finally arriving at the end. Hahn had the quartet play some passages again with this scheme of images in mind, committing to conveying mood over accuracy and setting up a dynamic effect like a cinematic scene break at the end.

One of the violinists hit their stand with the FEBRUARY–MARCH 2022

bow, swept up in the attempt. “Don’t worry— that shows commitment,” Hahn said, with twinkling warmth.

The following morning in Buntrock Hall at Symphony Center, Hahn led a master class of students from the Chicago Musical Pathways Initiative, a nonprofit organization that removes barriers for young BIPOC musicians on their way to top-tier conservatory or university music programs and a partner of the CSO’s Negaunee Music Institute. Hahn coaxed a bolder, brighter soloistic tone out of a thirteen-year-old playing Bruch’s Concerto in G minor. In an already polished interpretation of Korngold’s Violin Concerto, she answered a request from a sixteen year old to help her find more precise articulations. And for another sixteen year old bravely presenting the very same concerto by Dvořák that Hahn was playing with the CSO that weekend, she helped him find a more fiery tone in some difficult passages.

L

ater this season, Hahn returns to perform a mixed chamber program on April 1 with cellist Seth Parker Woods and pianist Andreas Haefliger as part the Symphony Center Presents Chamber Music series. Hahn and Woods will play a duo by Zoltán Kodály, she and Haefliger will play Beethoven’s Violin Sonata no. 10, and the trio will play be still and know by Carlos Simon, the current composer-in-residence at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. The title of Simon’s piece comes from a quote from Oprah Winfrey, referring to the experience of mindfully feeling presence within calm. For Hahn, the idea resonates with her philosophy of music as a vehicle for human connection.

“Being a performer and being still in moments onstage, I do have a sense of enormous

overlapping layers of presence,” she says.

“History, composers who have gone before me, the thousands of hours of great performances that have left some sort of mark in the space, or, more immediately, the audience—the presence of all of us together is really powerful.”

Future residencies will include more concert appearances, master classes, community engagement, and hopefully extensions of some of her own projects, such as the Bring Your Own Baby concerts, where she plays complex, ear-stimulating, un-stressful music such as solo Bach for caregivers to the smallest and squalliest audience members, in a setting where their noises and biological necessities are welcome.

Her greatest contribution to Chicago during her term, though, may be the chance for all of us to be exposed to her particular approach to music and music making: clear-eyed but not simplistic, cerebral but not sterile, self-aware but not self-serious. As she said in response to a questioner at Northside who asked how she came to the violin (the questioner herself came to it directly from watching Hahn play Mendelssohn’s E minor concerto on YouTube). “I didn’t have a moment where I said, ‘Can I please play violin?’ I was lucky to have stumbled across it,” said Hahn.

“I love the physical feel of playing it, of activating my voice, that it is somehow talking. It’s also close to the heart.” She paused. “It sounds hokey, but it’s also physically true.”

Beauty is truth, Keats told us, in half his famous inversion. It’s also intelligence, humor, and joy.

Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, Op. 125 There’s something astonishing about a deaf composer choosing to open a symphony with music that reveals, like no other music before it, the very essence of sound emerging from silence. It is a masterstroke, to be sure, but for Beethoven it must also have been both painful and cathartic. The famous pianissimo opening—sixteen measures with no secure sense of key or rhythm—does not so much depict the journey from darkness to light, or from chaos to order, as the birth of sound itself or the creation of a musical idea. It is as if the challenges of Beethoven’s daily existence—the struggle to compose music, his difficulty in communicating, the frustration of remembering what it was like to hear—have been made real in a single page of music.

This symphony shows Beethoven using all the subtlety and mastery of his craft to reach an even wider audience and to touch the common man as never before. He meant for it to be a breakthrough work—music’s first crossover composition. It’s also likely that in the text he picked for the symphony’s finale— Schiller’s hymn to universal brotherhood—Beethoven found the sense of community he craved as a comfort against personal loss, loneliness, and the terrifying sense of always feeling somehow apart, even though he was at the peak of his career. The struggle to communicate is the narrative that runs throughout this symphony, as Beethoven finally makes clear in his choral finale, when sound is literally given voice. The Ninth Symphony pushes the boundaries of art as Beethoven understood them.

His own search for new compositional procedures—and there are many wildly original ideas in this symphony—underlies the whole work: the striving toward what Goethe called “the fulfillment of beautiful possibilities.”

Beethoven’s grandest symphony and most influential composition was not recognized at first as a landmark—as a genuinely pivotal work in the history of music. The night of the premiere, Beethoven went home in a funk over the meager profits, and he was keenly disappointed because the entire evening had been staged to prove that he still had box-office appeal in Vienna.

Thirty of Vienna’s leading music lovers had recently written to him—“Need we tell you with what regret your retirement from

public life has filled us?”—as a way of goading him into playing his new works, and the concert of May 7, 1824, at which the Ninth Symphony was first performed, was his response.

By 1824, Beethoven was almost completely deaf. He had long ago given up playing the piano in public, and, although he was billed as the conductor of the new symphony for the May 7 concert, and did indeed appear to beat time and turn the pages of his score (and, according to some accounts, even engage in some over-the-top theatrical gesturing), the players and the singers had been cautioned beforehand to pay no attention to him. Instead, they all followed the discreet, utterly reliable beat provided by Michael Umlauf, the concertmaster.

When, in one of the most famous accounts in all music, the audience burst into applause—some say it was at the end of the scherzo, others at the end of the symphony—Beethoven couldn’t hear the ovation; he stood, his back to the crowd, leafing through his score. Only when the contralto soloist, Carolyn Unger, tapped him on the shoulder and turned him around did he see his public applauding wildly.

In truth, it must have been a miserable performance, hastily prepared under the composer’s sadly compromised direction, for a public which can’t reasonably have been expected to fully grasp what they were hearing. The reviews were mixed. “The necessary differentiation of light and dark, security of intonation, fine shading, and nuanced execution were all lacking,” wrote one critic. “Weak players,” another reported, “set down their bows and sat out so many measures.” And, in the finale, when the sopranos couldn’t reach the high notes, they simply

didn’t sing. It is surprising that the piece made an impression at all, but, for at least one critic, “the effect was indescribably great and magnificent.”

But a second performance, given on a beautiful Sunday afternoon sixteen days later, was even less successful; the house was barely half full (possibly due to the lovely weather) and ticket sales did not begin to cover expenses.

The work that Beethoven had written to surpass everything he already had accomplished in the field of the symphony—the work with which he was determined to move mankind as never before—had failed him. For several years after Beethoven’s death, his Ninth Symphony was considered too difficult to perform (and too long to program easily). Although it won champions right from the start, it was not established in the repertoire until the middle of the nineteenth century. (Wagner was a particularly staunch advocate—he even conducted it at the dedicatory concert for his Wagner-only Bayreuth Festspielhaus in 1872.) From then on, Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony has maintained its singular status as a cultural symbol of unsurpassed importance.

S

ince his early twenties, Beethoven had wanted to write music for Schiller’s An die Freude (Ode to Joy), a glorified drinking song with a strong humanistic message. He toyed with it several times, sketched a number of musical ideas, and even included two lines from Schiller in his opera Fidelio.

When he finally settled down to work on a new symphony— his first in a decade—in 1822, he was impatient to pull together all the ideas that had been germinating in his imagination for thirty years. (And, according to Anton Schindler, only after he finished it nearly two years later “could he again be seen strolling through the streets, . . . greeting many acquaintances or friends after his long seclusion.”)

It was probably inevitable that this would be his grandest symphony, and, in fact, it is the last in a series of scores that are Beethoven’s most monumental achievements in several forms: the Hammerklavier Piano Sonata, the Diabelli Variations, and the Missa solemnis. They are all crowning works, summarizing everything Beethoven knew (although he did begin to sketch a tenth symphony). The Ninth Symphony stands apart from Beethoven’s other symphonies—and from nearly all that follow it, as well—by virtue of its humanistic message, enormous scale, and organic unity of design.

At first glance, the Ninth appears to be a conventional, if unusually large, symphony in four movements, with the slow movement placed not second, but third, just before the finale (as in the Hammerklavier Sonata). But the finale is like nothing else in symphonic music: scored for four soloists, full chorus, and orchestra, it is extremely long (longer than any of the other movements) and highly complex—almost a symphony in miniature, with its own introduction, scherzo-like section, slow music, and grand wrap-up. Mozart had shifted the weight of the classical symphony to the finale with his Jupiter Symphony, but Beethoven has now pushed it to the limit.

The symphony begins audaciously with those celebrated first measures, which struggle mightily, as the composer himself so often did, to arrive at a perfect symphonic theme.

(And then listen, at the outset of the scherzo that follows, to how Beethoven seems to mimic the falling fourths and fifths that define the symphony’s opening, as if he were making light of his own troubles.) The entire movement—rooted in D minor, but ranging widely—is conceived on the greatest scale (even though it is the only first movement in a symphony by Beethoven that does not include a repeat of the exposition). The beginning of the FEBRUARY–MARCH 2022

recapitulation—the moment that’s supposed to reprise the symphony’s opening—is, almost by necessity here, startlingly new—a complete reinterpretation of the first measures, now defiant, fortissimo, and in D major.

Both the scherzo and the Adagio are spaciously designed, although Beethoven ultimately decided not to repeat the entire scherzo (and its trio) as was customary, but instead to tease us into thinking that he was going to. (The result, with its midsentence change of heart, is hair-raising.) The Adagio, placed before the finale for maximum dramatic effect, is a magnificent set of variations, a form Beethoven often used to express his deepest emotions (particularly in his late works, such as the opp. 109 and 110 piano sonatas, or the adagio of the op. 127 string quartet). During this serene and noble music, Beethoven sets the stage for the finale, first with the hymnlike, stepwise melody of the main theme, which bears an uncanny resemblance to the big “Ode to Joy” tune, and then, in the final measures of the movement, with two disruptive fanfares for trumpets and drums, which warn of something momentous just over the horizon.

The music dies quietly, but somehow inconclusively, even expectantly.

Peace is shattered with what Wagner admiringly called the Schreckensfanfare—a fanfare of terror: a wrenching eruption that is actually the dissonant combination of two triads—Bflat major (the key of the preceding slow movement) and D minor (the key of the symphony as a whole). And with that noise, Beethoven opens a new chapter in the history of music. What follows is a carefully staged drama in which cellos and basses imitate operatic recitative; the music of the three previous movements is quickly reviewed and dismissed; and a new theme is suggested, which, when it finally takes shape, is a song so perfect and so simple it sounds like a hymn or a folk song. (Beethoven, in fact, labored painstakingly over this theme.)

And then—in a move that must have stunned his first audience and has left virtually every composer since dumbfounded, wondering how he or she might top it—Beethoven welcomes the

sound of the human voice into the symphony.

The earlier recitative returns and now is actually sung (Beethoven wrote the text, as a kind of preface to Schiller’s ode, himself); Beethoven’s wonderful melody is finally given words. (In the end, Beethoven used only half of Schiller’s poem, deleting in the process any obvious drinking-song references.) And from there Beethoven creates, before our eyes and ears, a new kind of movement, combining elements of symphony and concerto (there’s a big, virtuosic cadenza for the four soloists), classical variations, Turkish marches (complete with cymbals, triangle, and bass drum), majestic slow meditations, and, finally, a gigantic double fugue.

In its Shakespearean juxtaposition of the comic and the solemn, its mixture of popular and esoteric elements, its union of symphonic and vocal styles, and its symphony-within-a-symphony conceit, Beethoven’s finale pointed the way for the music of the future. Wagner’s music dramas, Liszt’s symphonic poems, Bruckner’s grand finales, Mahler’s sprawling symphonies, and countless other works are all unthinkable without these twenty-some minutes of music.

Beethoven wrote nothing more influential in his whole life, even though, relatively late in the composition process, he was still uncomfortable with the idea of a choral finale, and began to sketch an alternate instrumental movement. But the idea of instrumental music striving toward song was too deeply ingrained in his thoughts at this point, and the dream of a utopian existence too dear to him, and so he went ahead and turned Schiller’s little drinking song into one of the towering achievements of nineteenth-century art. (Beethoven’s finale is notoriously tough on singers. When Theodore Thomas first led the Chicago Orchestra in the work, in December 1892, he took the uncharacteristic step—after long deliberation—of transposing the finale down a whole step to C minor in order ease the burden, although not without provoking the wrath of Chicago’s musical public.)

The humanistic message of Beethoven’s Ninth has been welcomed far and wide—from Japan, where New Year’s sing-along performances are

profiles Riccardo Muti Conductor Riccardo Muti is one of the world’s preeminent conductors. In 2010, he became the tenth music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. It was recently announced that he would extend his tenure through the 2022–23 season at the request of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association. Muti’s leadership has been distinguished by the strength of his artistic partnership with the Orchestra; his dedication to performing great works of the past and present, including thirteen world premieres to date; the enthusiastic reception he and the CSO have received on national and international tours; and eight recordings on the CSO Resound label, with three Grammy awards among them. In addition, his contributions to the cultural life of Chicago— with performances throughout its many neighborhoods and at Orchestra Hall—have made a lasting impact on the city.

Born in Naples, Riccardo Muti studied piano under Vincenzo Vitale at the Conservatory of San Pietro a Majella, graduating with distinction.

He subsequently received a diploma in composition and conducting from the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milan under the guidance of Bruno Bettinelli and Antonino Votto.

He first came to the attention of critics and the public in 1967, when he won the Guido Cantelli Conducting Competition, by unanimous vote of the jury, in Milan. In 1968, he became principal conductor of the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, a position he held until 1980. In 1971, Muti was invited by Herbert von Karajan to conduct at the Salzburg Festival, the first of many occasions, which led to a celebration of fifty years of artistic collaboration with the Austrian festival in 2020.

During the 1970s, Muti was chief conductor of London’s Philharmonia Orchestra (1972–1982), succeeding Otto Klemperer. From 1980 to 1992, he inherited the position of music director of the Philadelphia Orchestra from Eugene Ormandy.

From 1986 to 2005, he was music director of Teatro alla Scala, and during that time, he directed major projects such as the three Mozart/Da Ponte operas and Wagner’s Ring cycle in addition to his exceptional contributions to the Verdi repertoire. His tenure as music director of Teatro alla Scala, the longest in its history, culminated in the triumphant reopening of the restored opera house on December 7, 2004, with Salieri’s Europa riconosciuta.

Over the course of his extraordinary career, Riccardo Muti has conducted the most important orchestras in the world: from the Berlin Philharmonic to the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and from the New York Philharmonic to the Orchestre National de France; as well as the Vienna Philharmonic, an orchestra to which he is linked by particularly close and important ties, and with which he has appeared at the Salzburg Festival since 1971. When Muti was invited to lead the Vienna Philharmonic’s 150th-anniversary concert, the orchestra presented him with the Golden Ring, a special sign of esteem and affection, awarded only to a few select conductors. In 2021, he conducted the Vienna Philharmonic in the New Year’s Concert for the sixth time.

Muti has received numerous international honors over the course of his career. He is Cavaliere di Gran Croce of the Italian Republic and a recipient of the German Verdienstkreuz.

He received the decoration of Officer of the Legion of Honor from French President Nicolas Sarkozy. He was made an honorary Knight Commander of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II. The Salzburg Mozarteum awarded him its silver medal for his contribution to Mozart’s music, and in Vienna, he was elected an honorary member of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde, Vienna Hofmusikkapelle, and Vienna State Opera. Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded him the Order of Friendship, and the State of Israel has honored him with the Wolf Prize in the arts. In October 2018, Muti received the prestigious Praemium Imperiale for Music of the Japan Arts Association in Tokyo.

In 2011, Muti was selected as the recipient of the coveted Birgit Nilsson Prize. In 2011, he received the Opera News Award in New York City and Spain’s prestigious Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts. That summer, he was named an honorary member of the Vienna Philharmonic and honorary director for life of the Rome Opera.

In May 2012, he was awarded the highest papal honor: the Knight of the Grand Cross First Class of the Order of St. Gregory the Great by

Pope Benedict XVI. In 2016, he was honored by the Japanese government with the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Star. On August 15, 2021, Muti received the Great Golden Decoration of Honor for Services to the Republic of Austria, the highest possible civilian honor from the Austrian government.

Passionate about teaching young musicians, Muti founded the Luigi Cherubini Youth Orchestra in 2004 and the Riccardo Muti Italian Opera Academy in 2015. Through Le vie dell’Amicizia (The Roads of Friendship), a project of the Ravenna Festival in Italy, he has conducted in many of the world’s most troubled areas in order to bring attention to civic and social issues. riccardomuti.com riccardomutioperacademy.com

Muti Received Top Critics’ Choice Awards in Japan Following Riccardo Muti’s January residency with the CSO in Chicago, Ongaku No Tomo, Japan’s preeminent music magazine, announced that concerts conducted by Muti were voted the best of 2021 by a panel of music journalists and critics.

Receiving by far the most votes of any program were Muti’s two performances of Verdi’s Macbeth in concert at Bunka Kaikan with the Tokyo Harusai Orchestra, the Italian Opera Academy Chorus, and a distinguished group of Italian and Japanese singers, including baritone Luca Micheletti as Macbeth, bass Riccardo Zanellato as Banquo, Anastasia Bartoli as Lady Macbeth, and tenor Yoshimichi Serizawa as Macduff. These performances, which took place last April, followed Muti’s second Italian Opera Academy in Japan as part of the annual Tokyo Spring Music Festival.

Receiving the second critics’ choice award were Muti’s two concerts with the Vienna Philharmonic at Suntory Hall. The first program included Schubert’s Symphony no. 4; Mendelssohn’s Symphony no. 4; and Stravinsky’s Divertimento, Suite from The Fairy’s Kiss. The second program included Mozart’s Haffner Symphony and Schubert’s Symphony no. 8.

Tareq Nazmi Bass These concerts mark Tareq Nazmi’s debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

Bass Tareq Nazmi studied at the Hochschule für Musik and Theater in Munich with Edith Wiens and Christian Gerhaher, and privately with Hartmut Elbert. As a participant in the Opera Studio, and later as an ensemble member of the Bavarian State Opera, he could be heard in numerous roles, such as the Minister (Fidelio), Masetto (Don Giovanni), the Speaker (Magic Flute), Silvano (La Calisto), Zuniga (Carmen), Truffaldin (Ariadne auf Naxos), Publio (La clemenza di Tito), Caronte (L’Orfeo), the Night Watchman (Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg), Albert (La Juive), and Osman (Les Indes galantes).

Tareq Nazmi began the 2021–22 season with his debut at Lyric Opera of Chicago as Sarastro (The Magic Flute), concerts with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra under Sir John Eliot Gardiner, the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. Later in the season, he returns to the Bavarian State Opera as Banco in Verdi’s Macbeth and makes his role debut as King Heinrich in Wagner’s Lohengrin in a concert performance at the Tokyo Spring Festival in Japan.

Among the most important engagements of past seasons are his role debuts as Filippo II in Verdi’s Don Carlo at the Theater St. Gallen in Switzerland and as Banco at the Antwerp Opera and a tour with Verdi’s Requiem

P H OTO BY MARCO B O RGGRE VE

under the direction of Teodor Currentzis and Beethoven’s Missa solemnis in Munich under Kirill Petrenko. Tareq Nazmi also toured Europe under Gardiner as Pope Clement VII in Berlioz’s Benvenuto Cellini. In 2018, he sang Bottom in Damiano Michieletto’s production of Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna and was heard at the Salzburg Festival as the Speaker in a new production of The Magic Flute with the Vienna Philharmonic under Constantinos Carydis. In 2017, he made his St. Gallen debut as Zaccaria in Verdi’s Nabucco.

Anticipated debuts with the Berlin Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony Orchestra under Riccardo Muti, the New York Philharmonic, and the Metropolitan Opera, as well as Sarastro at the Salzburg Festival, all fell victim to the worldwide COVID-19 crisis.

As a sought-after concert soloist, Tareq Nazmi has a broad repertoire ranging from Bach to Beethoven, Haydn to Brahms, and from Mozart to Dvořák. He has worked with the TonhalleOrchester Zürich, Orchestre de Paris under Daniel Harding, Orquestra Gulbenkian in Portugal with Alain Altinoglu, WDR Symphony Orchestra Cologne and Jukka-Pekka Saraste, Deutsches Symphonieorchester Berlin and Manfred Honeck, the Balthasar Neumann Choir and Ensemble under Thomas Hengelbrock, and the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg under Constantinos Carydis.

As a lieder singer, Tareq Nazmi was most recently heard in collaborations with Gerold Huber at the Schubertiade Hohenems, in Munich and Cologne, and at the Wigmore Hall in London. Lieder recitals are also planned for the current season.

Chicago Symphony Chorus

The Chicago Symphony Chorus has been led by Chorus Director and Conductor Duain Wolfe since 1994. The ensemble regularly performs with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in Orchestra Hall and at the Ravinia Festival.

The history of the Chorus began in 1957, when sixth music director Fritz Reiner invited Margaret Hillis to establish a chorus to equal the quality of the Orchestra. Hillis accepted the challenge, and the Chicago Symphony Chorus debuted in March and April 1958, in Mozart’s Requiem under Bruno Walter and Verdi’s Requiem under Reiner. Hillis served the Chorus for thirty-seven years, until her retirement in 1994; ninth music director Daniel Barenboim appointed Duain Wolfe as her successor in June of that year.

The Chorus first performed in Carnegie Hall in 1967 in Henze’s Muses of Sicily and Ravel’s Daphnis and Chloe under seventh music director Jean Martinon, and most recently in 2015 with Riccardo Muti for Scriabin’s Prometheus and Prokofiev’s Alexander Nevsky. Touring internationally with the Orchestra, the Chorus traveled to London and Salzburg in 1989 with Sir Georg Solti for performances of Berlioz’s The Damnation of Faust and to Berlin in 1999 with Barenboim for Brahms’s A German Requiem and Pierre Boulez for Schoenberg’s Moses und Aron.

P H OTO BY TO DD RO S E NB E RG

World premieres featuring the Chorus have included Ned Rorem’s Goodbye My Fancy, John Harbison’s Four Psalms, and Bernard Rands’s apókryphos. With visiting orchestras, the Chorus has collaborated with the Berlin Philharmonic under Claudio Abbado, the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Seiji Ozawa, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra with Zubin Mehta, and the Staatskapelle Berlin under Barenboim.

Since first recording commercially in 1959—Prokofiev’s Alexander Nevsky under Reiner—the Chorus has amassed a discography that includes hallmarks of the choral repertoire and several complete operas. The Chorus most recently received a 2010 Grammy Award for Best Choral Performance for Verdi’s Requiem, led by Riccardo Muti on CSO Resound. The Chorus has received an additional nine Grammy awards for Best Choral Performance for Verdi’s Requiem, Beethoven’s Missa solemnis, Brahms’s A German Requiem, Berlioz’s The Damnation of Faust, Haydn’s Creation, and Bach’s Mass in B minor with Solti; Brahms’s Requiem and Orff’s Carmina Burana with James Levine; and Bartók’s Cantata profana with Boulez.

The Chorus also has appeared on two movie soundtracks with the Orchestra: Fantasia 2000 led by Levine and John Williams’s score for Lincoln conducted by the composer. Recordings on CSO Resound featuring the Chorus include Mahler’s Second and Third symphonies, Poulenc’s Gloria, and Ravel’s Daphnis and Chloe under Bernard Haitink; and Berlioz’s Lélio, Verdi’s Otello, Schoenberg’s Kol Nidre, choruses

by Verdi and Boito’s Prologue to Mefistofele, and most recently Shostakovich’s Symphony no. 13 (Babi Yar) with men of the Chorus under Riccardo Muti.

Duain Wolfe Chorus Director and Conductor Now in his twenty-eighth season as director of the Chicago Symphony Chorus, Duain Wolfe has prepared over 150 programs for concerts in Orchestra Hall and at the Ravinia Festival, as well as many works for commercial recordings.

Wolfe also directs choral works at the Aspen Music Festival and the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, and he is founder-director of the Colorado Symphony Chorus (now in its thirty-seventh season), a position he maintains along with his Chicago Symphony Chorus post.

Winner of two Grammy awards in 2010 (Best Choral Performance and Best Classical Album) for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s recording of Verdi’s Requiem with Riccardo Muti, in 2012 Wolfe received the Michael Korn Founders Award from Chorus America in recognition of his contributions to the professional choral arts. He also prepared the Chicago Symphony Chorus for the Grammy Award– winning recording of Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg with Sir Georg Solti, and for the CSO Resound releases of Verdi’s Otello and Italian Masterworks, including the Prologue to Boito’s Mefistofele, conducted by Riccardo Muti.

Well known for his work with children, Wolfe is conductor laureate of the Colorado Children’s Chorale, an organization that he founded and

40B ONE HUNDRED THIRT Y-FIRST SE ASON

conducted for twenty-five years. Also active in opera, he served as conductor of the Central City Opera Festival for twenty years.

Among the many performances for which Wolfe has prepared the Chicago Symphony Chorus are Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony; Cherubini’s Requiem; Brahms’s A German Requiem; Orff’s Carmina Burana; Verdi’s Requiem, Otello, Macbeth, and Falstaff; Mascagni’s Cavalleria rusticana; Schoenberg’s Kol Nidre with Alberto Mizrahi as narrator, released on the CSO Resound label in 2016; and Shostakovich’s Symphony no. 13 (Babi Yar), recorded during performances in Orchestra Hall in 2018 and released on CSO Resound—all conducted by CSO music director Riccardo Muti. World premieres include John Harbison’s Four Psalms and Bernard Rands’s apókryphos, both commissioned by the CSO. Wolfe prepared the Chicago Symphony Chorus for its most recent Carnegie Hall performances of Scriabin’s Prometheus and Prokofiev’s Alexander Nevsky in 2015, under Riccardo Muti, as well as Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with the Staatskapelle Berlin in 2000 with Daniel Barenboim. He also prepared the Chorus for performances of Schoenberg’s Moses und Aron (led by Pierre Boulez) and Brahms’s A German Requiem (led by Barenboim) at the Berlin Festtage in 1999.

Duain Wolfe’s activities have earned him an honorary doctorate and numerous awards, including the Bonfils Stanton Award in the Arts and Humanities and the Colorado Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts.

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 currently is the CSO’s Artist-in-Residence, a role that brings her to Chicago for multiple residencies each season.

Jessie Montgomery is the current Mead Composerin-Residence. She follows ten highly regarded composers in this role, including John Corigliano and Shulamit Ran—both winners of the Pulitzer Prize for Music—and Missy Mazzoli, who completed her threeyear tenure in June 2021. 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. Current 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 National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.
