appy 2017! Much has been happening with your Paducah Symphony Orchestra since our previous issue of Score, and even more is coming very soon…

I was pleased to announce at our Christmas Celebration (another amazing PSO concert!) that we’ve hired our new Executive Director. Mrs. Katie Smith took the helm on the 16th of January. She’s a clarinet player, and will work exceptionally well with all our artists as well as with our Artistic Director. She’s an accomplished event and festival coordinator, demonstrating leadership and vision on large-scale projects.

Katie is also a certified professional in not-for-profit management, which prepares her nicely for the responsibilities of executive leadership in our organization. Even with all these necessary qualities, she is focused on making fast friends among Paducah’s arts community and patrons. You’re going to be very glad to welcome her to our special town, and she will earn your confidence and trust as PSO Executive Director.

We have a busy and exciting late winter and spring full of diverse activities.

Surrounding this February concert are our Crescendo Dinner and the Young Artist Competition Finals at Murray State University. Our annual Father/Daughter Dance is on February 25th at the Country Club of Paducah. Broadway United Methodist Church hosts our “Made in America” chorus concert the following day. Wow! That’s just February! March is equally noteworthy with our Season Preview on the 9th and Beethoven’s 5th Symphony on the 11th. Our season finale will be on April 22nd, and it’s an epic: Brahms’ Requiem. That will be followed the next day by our spring Youth Showcase Concert at the Carson Center. As we move into summer, your PSO will have other big events including our second annual PaBREWcah Beer Fest on June 17th, and our Summer Music Camp the week of June 19th. We hope you’ll enjoy these myriad events!

Thank you for your continued support of this organization. Your PSO strives to bring the joy and benefits of great music to an increasingly broad audience. This includes, notably, our growing educational outreach programs, and those have been made possible through the support of this amazing community we call home.

Blessings,

eugenia zukerman

E

ugenia Zukerman is a true Renaissance woman. While maintaining an international concert calendar with more than thirty performances annually, her multi-faceted career also includes distinguished work as an arts administrator, author, educator, internet entrepreneur, and journalist.

In demand from New York to China as an orchestral soloist, chamber musician and recitalist, Eugenia Zukerman has been praised by The New York Times for her performances — “Her musicianship is consummate, her taste immaculate and her stage presence a sheer pleasure.”

This season, she made her heralded debut at the prestigious Verbier Festival in Switzerland, performing challenging chamber works by Hanns Eisler, Arnold Schönberg, Andreas Jakob Romberg and Behzad Ranjbaran.

She partnered with some of the world’s finest musicians, including violinist Dimitry Sitkovetsky, violist Nobuko Imai, cellist Frans Helmerson, and pianist Elena Bashkirova, among others. She will perform with the Manhattan Piano Trio in Pennsylvania, with the Symphony Space All-Stars in New York City in a festive concert of Brandenburg Concerti, and with the Princeton Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Lowell Liebermann’s Concerto for Flute and Orchestra Op.39 conducted by Rossen Milanov, Music Director and Conductor.

Eugenia Zukerman has performed as soloist with many of the world’s finest orchestras. Her numerous guest appearances have included engagements with the Tokyo Philharmonic, the Royal Philharmonic, the China Philharmonic, and the Israel, Moscow, Prague and Scottish Chamber Orchestras. The breadth of her appearances

in North America is remarkable, with more than eighty orchestras nationwide, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, National Symphony in Washington DC, the Montreal and Vancouver Symphonies and the National Symphony Orchestra of Mexico. Performances and a recording of Lowell Liebermann’s Concerto for Flute and Orchestra Op.39 with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra conducted by Andrew Litton (Delos) led to a rewarding connection between Eugenia Zukerman and the orchestra. Last summer, the relationship continued to flourish with her performance of Mozart’s concerto for Flute and Harp (with Yolanda Kondonassis) in the opening concert of the Vail Valley Music Festival, conducted

by Music Director Jaap van Zweden.

Eugenia Zukerman’s discography is impressive. She has over two dozen discs to her credit, including releases on the Delos, SONY Classical, Pro Arte, Vox Cum Laude and Newport Classic labels. Her most recent recording, Flesh & Stone: The Songs of Jake Heggie was released on the Americus label with all proceeds benefitting Classical Action: Performing Arts Against AIDS. Ms. Zukerman studied English at Barnard College and received a B.M. from The Juilliard School where she studied with the renowned flutist Julius Baker. She received an Honorary Doctorate from Knox College in Illinois and was elected to the New York Institute for the Humanities.

A Massachusetts native, Ms. Zukerman makes her home in New York City and in upstate New York where she shares a small farm with her husband, broadcaster Richard Novik, two horses, two dogs, and a cat named Lulu.

DANZÓN NO. 2 Saturday · 18 February 2017

Danzón No.2 Arturo Márquez (1950–Present) Arturo Márquez (born December 20, 1950) is a Mexican composer who incorporates the musical forms and styles of his native Mexico into his compositions. Born to musical parents in Álamos, a colonial town hugging the western foothills of the Sierra Madre of Sonora, he soon migrated with his family to Los Angeles where Márquez spent his teen years and began his musical education in earnest.

Eventually, his studies took him to Mexico City, Paris (under a scholarship) and, with a Fulbright now to his credit, he collected an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia.

The range and variety of Márquez’s music have elevated his stature as one of the most important Mexican composers of his generation. Márquez’s most popular works have played off his use of familiar and traditional idioms, as attested by the many awards he has accumulated. Purists may prefer the edgy avant-garde, yet all over the Americas, especially today, serious composers who acknowledge their populist cultural roots have won increasing acknowledgement.

Márquez’s pieces Danzón No. 2 and Pablo Moncayo’s Huapango have been embraced as unofficial national anthems of Mexico.

was a visitor from the outside finding his way into the music, Márquez was a native who discovered the music from the inside out, connecting with the musical traditions of his parents and grandparents.

Danzón No. 2 was commissioned by the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Mexico in 1994, and Márquez dedicated the piece to his daughter, Lily. The piece opens with a clarinet solo over rhythmic claves, piano, and pizzicato strings. The clarinet is soon answered by oboe, while brass pulse underneath, and the entire ensemble is pulled into the dance. The work becomes increasingly frenetic, and sections featuring solo or groups of instruments with the ever-present claves are contrasted with all-out dance mania. A lyric central section, introduced by piano, features beautifully lush strings and a duet for clarinet and flute.

Then brass assert the main dance theme again and the work builds to a dramatic, foot-stomping close.

Sponsor of the Paducah Symphony’s broadcasts on WKMS for the 3rd straight year.

Márquez received his first inspiration for Danzón No. 2 while traveling to Malinalco in 1993, with painter Andrés Fonseca and dancer Irene Martinez, who both loved to dance. The pair later brought Márquez to dance halls in Veracruz and the popular Salón Colonia in Mexico City. Like Aaron Copland, who traveled to the dance halls of Mexico City and produced El Salón Mexico, Márquez found himself entranced and inspired by the music.

Flute Concerto Saturday · 18 February 2017

Flute Concerto Jacques Ibert (1890–1962) Jacques François Antoine Ibert (August 15, 1890 – February 5, 1962) was a French composer. Having studied music from an early age, he attended the Paris Conservatoire and won its top prize, the Prix de Rome, on his first attempt, despite the interruption posed by his service in World War I. Ibert pursued a successful composing career, writing seven operas, five ballets, incidental music for plays and films, songs, choral works, and chamber music. As a composer, Ibert did not attach himself to any of the prevalent genres of music of his time, and has been described as an eclectic. He is probably best remembered for his orchestral works including Divertissement and Escales.

In tandem with his creative work, Ibert was the director of the Académie de France at the Villa Medici in Rome. During World War II he was proscribed by the pro-Nazi government in Paris, and for a time he went into exile in Switzerland. Restored to his former eminence in French musical life after the war, his final musical appointment was charge of the Paris Opera and the Opéra-Comique.

Ibert has been described by some as musically conservative on account of his continued dedication to elements of the classic French tradition of Saint-Saëns and Fauré, but he was also profoundly influenced by the abundance of artistic philosophies circulating around Paris during his formative years—popular, serious, or otherwise. Indeed, creative minds from all over the world, including figures like Pablo Picasso, 18

Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall, Igor Stravinsky, and many others, were converging upon the city as Ibert was at work on his first series of successful works. Rather than affiliating with one of the myriad limiting compositional ideologies circulating at the time, the young composer experimented with harmonic vocabularies in his music for ballets, various opera genres, film scores, solo pieces, symphonies, and an assortment of chamber ensembles. Perhaps it is this wide range of compositional styles and genres that renders Ibert’s music difficult to categorize, and partially excludes it from the contemporary canon of oft-performed pieces from the era.

The Flute Concerto has remained one of the most popular works for the instrument, regardless of the composer’s overall canonical status. Ibert began work on the piece in 1932, after Paris Conservatoire professor and accomplished flutist Marcel Moyse asked him to write a piece for the instrument, which Moyse premiered in 1934, to widespread acclaim. Indeed, the piece was so popular and technically challenging that the Paris Conservatoire began that year to use the final movement as a test piece for student auditions.

The first Allegro movement opens with a storm of sixteenth notes answered by a lyrical and slightly foreboding second theme. The sixteenths return again with a vengeance as they dart breathlessly from the soloist to various sections of the orchestra. The second movement, a dreamy Andante accompanied by gentle strings, is reminiscent of one of Ibert’s other enduring works, the orchestral suite Escales that was inspired by the composer’s travels around Italy.

The concerto’s Finale (Allegro scherzando) provides clear evidence that Ibert was not simply a musically conservative, steadfastly French composer. The complex rhythmic fabric of the movement, alternating between sections of four and three beats, is obviously influenced by American jazz, and is likewise evocative of some of Ibert’s film scores based on popular music.

The final movement makes a range of technical demands of the soloist, from swift leaps to even swifter scale passages and tongue-twisting melodic material, which are combined in the final cadenza and punctuated by the movement’s energetic orchestral conclusion.

Symphony in D Minor Saturday · 18 February 2017

Symphony in D minor César Franck (1822–1890) César-Auguste-Jean-GuillaumeHubert Franck (December 10, 1822 – November 8, 1890) was a composer, pianist, organist, and music teacher who worked in Paris during his adult life. He was born at Liège, in what is now Belgium. He gave his first concerts there in 1834, and studied privately in Paris from 1835, where his teachers included Anton Reicha. After a brief return to Belgium, and a disastrous reception to an early oratorio “Ruth,” he moved to Paris, where he married and embarked on a career as teacher and organist. He gained a reputation as a formidable improviser, and travelled widely in France to demonstrate new instruments built by Aristide Cavaillé-Coll.

In 1858, he became organist at Sainte-Clotilde, a position he retained for the rest of his life. He became professor at the Paris Conservatoire in 1872, taking French nationality, a requirement of the appointment. His pupils included Vincent d’Indy, Ernest Chausson, Louis Vierne, Charles Tournemire, Guillaume Lekeu and Henri Duparc. After acquiring the professorship Franck wrote several pieces that have entered the standard classical repertoire, including symphonic, chamber, and keyboard works.

César Franck begins his Symphony in D-Minor with a single germinal motif out of which the entire composition seems to grow. The three-note motif, with its mysterious, unresolved character, is the same melodic phrase which had intrigued composers before him. Beethoven used it in one of his late string quartets (Op.135), and wrote into the score above it the question, “Must it be?” Wagner incorporated it in his Ring cycle as the questioning theme of fate, and Liszt made it the central theme of his tone poem, Les Préludes. Each of these composers, in his own way, was fascinated by the unresolved, enigmatic character of the motif.

Franck’s first movement alternates between a slow, brooding treatment of this motif and a faster, more agitated development of it. The mood of the movement combines an almost religious sense of mystery with fervor and even joyous good humor.

The second movement unconventionally combines tempos of second and third movements of a conventional symphony.

Franck’s second movement is both a slow songful movement, opening with harp and pizzicato strings joined by a melancholy English horn, and a playful scherzo, as we soon hear in the middle section string melody.

The third movement, the finale, recalls the English horn melody from the second movement and both the passionate and questioning treatment of the motif from the first movement, and the symphony climaxes with a sense of joyous triumph.

Fiddling for Others:

Student Philharmonic Starts Community Service Initiative

By Casey Northcutt Watson

I

n Paducah’s hospitals and nursing homes, patients and residents will sometimes hear the sound of stringed instruments ringing through their halls and lobbies. People will stop and listen, savoring songs played to lift spirits and offer comfort.

This music is a way for the young musicians of the Paducah Symphony Orchestra’s (PSO) Fiddlers Philharmonic to repay a community that has helped shape them.

“The Paducah region shows amazing support of music, the arts and the educational programs that are bringing up the ‘next generation,’” Steve Schaffner, the Philharmonic’s conductor, says. This volunteer work, he adds, shows PSO education supporters “how well their investment is paying off.”

The Fiddlers Philharmonic is PSO’s string program for middle and high school students. Led by Schaffner, the group of 25 musicians plays a repertoire of bluegrass, jazz and country music along with classical pieces.

And now, it frequently takes that music into area

nursing homes and nonprofits, an effort that blesses others and gives the musicians a unique boost for their educations.

Janet Gilbert—whose daughter, Rachel, has played cello in the group for the past three years— established the community service initiative in the fall of 2016. As the self-described “mom-ager,” Gilbert helps keep other parents informed about the group’s activities, rehearsals and concerts. She first hatched the service idea when she and her daughter started thinking about college applications.

“Most colleges want to know what else have you got besides being a straight-A student and doing this [with the Philharmonic],” she says. “They want to know what you’ve done in the community.”

Universities, she explains, want lists of carefully noted volunteer hours, and many members of the group didn’t have them before the initiative started.

“All of the kids in the Philharmonic are high achievers,” she says. “Most of them are straight-A students, they’re

Paducah Symphony Orchestra—Score February/March 2017

Eagle Scouts, they play for their church, they play at nursing homes, they do everything, but nobody was really thinking about keeping track of what we were doing.”

Kate Ward, the initiative not only benefits others in the community but it also helps her hone her violin skills.

It gives her more opportunities to play for new types of audiences.

So, the “mom-ager” has devised a way to both promote volunteer work among philharmonic musicians and to keep sufficient records. She has handed out forms for parents to fill out with lists of their children’s service hours, and she has encouraged Philharmonic members to log 12 hours per school year of volunteering either individually or with the rest of the group. She says the Philharmonic requests that 10 of those hours relate to music. At the end of the year, PSO representatives will sign the cards and return them to parents for use in college applications.

“It’s been enjoyable,” Ward says. “You get to meet a lot of people with that, for sure.”

Since the initiative began, musicians from the Philharmonic have played for both Baptist Health Paducah and Lourdes hospitals, along with nursing homes and nonprofits. Gilbert says people seem to enjoy the volunteer performances. An elderly nursing home resident once cried when Gilbert’s daughter played a rendition of “How Great Thou Art.”

Anyone wanting to request a Fiddlers Philharmonic performance at a nonprofit, nursing home, hospital or charity event should contact Janet Gilbert at seamsgreat111@gmail.com. If possible, she’ll arrange for a group of students to set up their instruments and play for the benefit of others—and for themselves. Every volunteer concert gives these students better chances of reaching their college goals.

For the Philharmonic’s concertmaster, 13-year-old

And when Ward and the other Philharmonic musicians meet those new people and play in those hospitals and nursing homes, they help PSO reach its regional audience.

Franklin Cohen

rincipal Clarinet of The Cleveland Orchestra since 1976, Franklin Cohen has distinguished himself as one of the outstanding clarinetists of his generation. His playing has been described as “hypnotic, impeccable, brilliant… with a vocal quality that would be the envy of any singer.” He first gained international recognition and acclaim when, at the age of 22, he became the first clarinetist awarded First Prize at the International Munich Competition (the other first prize that year went to soprano Jessye Norman). Since then, Mr. Cohen has enjoyed an illustrious career as soloist, recitalist, recording and chamber artist, pedagogue and orchestral principal.

Since his first solo appearance with The Cleveland Orchestra in 1977, Mr. Cohen has been featured as soloist in nearly 200 performances — at Severance Hall, Carnegie Hall, Blossom Music Center, and on tour throughout the United States, Asia and Europe. In 1992, he recorded the Mozart Clarinet Concerto with the Orchestra and Christoph von Dohnányi for Decca Records. Mr. Cohen is also the soloist in Debussy’s First Rhapsody on a Deutsche Grammophon recording conducted by Pierre Boulez that won two Grammy Awards in 1996, and on a Decca recording of the Brahms Clarinet Sonatas with pianist Vladimir Ashkenazy.

With his daughter, violinist Diana Cohen, Franklin Cohen is the co-artistic director of the critically acclaimed ChamberFest Cleveland, the first international summer chamber music festival in Cleveland, which

32

presented its inaugural season in 2012. ChamberFest’s huge success has led to an expanded vision for growth locally and internationally.

Mr. Cohen’s professional music career was launched when Leopold Stokowski chose him as principal clarinet of the American Symphony Orchestra.

As a recitalist and chamber artist, Mr. Cohen has participated in the Aspen, Blossom, Casals, Marlboro, Santa Fe, and Sarasota music festivals. He has also been a featured artist with many of the world’s leading chamber groups, including the Emerson, Guarneri, Takács, Tokyo, Miro, Miami, Orion, Shostakovich, Cavani and Ysaÿe string quartets and with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.

In addition, Mr. Cohen has collaborated with leading artists including Emanuel Ax, Pinchas Zukerman, Mitsuko Uchida, Richard Goode, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Jessye Norman, Menahem Pressler and Heidi Grant Murphy, among many others.

Mr. Cohen has given countless master classes and seminars at prestigious universities and conservatories throughout the world. His former students hold principal positions in major orchestras in North America, Europe, Mexico and Asia.

A passionate advocate of music education, Mr. Cohen founded and funded “The Concert Club,” introducing young musicians to world class artists and performances at Severance Hall.

Mr. Cohen’s children are both members of the Calgary Philharmonic, Diana serves as concertmaster and Alexander is the principal timpanist.

Adagio for Strings Saturday · 11 March 2017

Adagio for Strings Samuel Barber (1910–1981) Samuel Osborne Barber II (March 9, 1910 – January 23, 1981) was an American composer of orchestral, opera, choral and piano music. He is one of the most celebrated composers of the 20th century; music critic Donal Henahan stated that “Probably no other American composer has ever enjoyed such early, such persistent and such long-lasting acclaim.”

Barber was born in West Chester, Pennsylvania, to parents Marguerite and Samuel Le Roy Barber, his father a physician and his mother a pianist.

His aunt, Louise Homer, was a leading contralto at the Metropolitan Opera, and his uncle, Sidney Homer, was a composer of American art songs.

Barber’s Adagio for Strings began as the second movement of his String Quartet, op.11, composed while he was spending a summer in Europe with his partner Gian Carlo Menotti, an Italian composer who was a fellow student at the Curtis Institute of Music. Barber finished the arrangement in 1936, and it was performed for the first time on November 5, 1938, in a radio broadcast from a New York studio for an invited audience, and conducted by Arturo Toscanini, who also took the piece on tour to Europe and South America.

Its reception was generally positive, with Alexander J. Morin writing that Adagio for Strings is “full of pathos and cathartic passion” and that it “rarely leaves a dry eye.” The music is the setting for Barber’s 1967 choral arrangement of Agnus Dei, and can be heard in many TV shows and movies.

Adagio for Strings begins softly with a B-flat played by the first violins. The lower strings come in two beats after the violins, which, as Johanna Keller from The New York Times put it, creates “an uneasy, shifting suspension as the melody begins a stepwise motion, like the hesitant climbing of stairs.” Music critic Olin Downes wrote

that the piece is very simple at climaxes, but reasoned that the simple chords create significance for the piece. Downes went on to say: “That is because we have here honest music, by an honest musician, not striving for pretentious effect, not behaving as a writer would who, having a clear, short, popular word handy for his purpose, got the dictionary and fished out a long one.”

Clarinet Concerto No. 2 Saturday · 11 March 2017

Clarinet Concerto No.2 Óscar Navarro (1981–Present) Óscar Navarro was born in 1981, in the village of Novelda, Spain where he began studying music at an early age. He received the “Outstanding Award” after completing his preliminary music studies, and was awarded both an honorary mention and a distinction at the end of his bachelor degree in the Conservatorio Superior Oscar Espla in Alicante, Spain. Óscar continued his studies of composition and conducting at the Allegro International Music Academy of Valencia, with his mentor and friend Ferrer Ferrán. Shortly thereafter he was selected by the prestigious University of Southern California Thornton School of Music to study Scoring for Motion Picture and TV. In Los Angeles he studied under the tutelage of many renowned composers who have created the memorable cinema themes of the last several generations.

orchestration. The work displays the many technical capabilities of the clarinet, often prompting comparison of the instrument to the human voice.

The first section of the work is written in two tempos, a cantabile style tinged with ethnic/new age rhythms, then the second, completely contrasting flavor of typical flamenco music of Spanish folklore. This latter is accompanied by one of the instruments used in the world of flamenco, the palms.

The second section, with a minimalist touch, exploits the dynamic possibilities of expression of the clarinet.

The pianissimo and high level of expression tend to hypnotize the listener until an energized climax gives way to an ethereal, floating impressionism.

The last section, prestissimo, is framed as a frenzied dance where soloist and orchestra engage in a dialog that demonstrates the challenging virtuosity of the work.

Óscar was recently awarded the “Hollywood in Music Award,” in the classical music section. His film music has received many award nominations, including for the “10th Cinematography Music Critics Awards,” “Mundo BSO Awards,” and the “XIII GoldSpirit Awards.” In February 2014, he received a GOYA nomination from the Spanish Film Academy for his soundtrack for the film “The Mule.”

The Second Concerto for Clarinet and Symphony Orchestra was a commission of the Valencia Music Institute and dedicated to clarinetist José FranchBallester. The work was written between November-December 2011 and January 2012.

The concerto is in one movement with three clearly identifiable sections. In the majority of the piece, the language is tonal with lots of colors and rich Paducah Symphony Orchestra — Score February/March 2017

Symphony No. 5 Saturday · 11 March 2017

Symphony No.5 op.67, C minor Ludwig Van Beethoven (1770–1827) Ludwig van Beethoven (December 17, 1770 –March 26, 1827) was a German composer and crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western art music. He remains one of the most famous and influential of all composers.

His best-known compositions include 9 symphonies, 5 piano concertos, 1 violin concerto, 32 piano sonatas, and 16 string quartets. He also composed other chamber music, choral works (including the celebrated Missa solemnnis), and songs.

36

Born in Bonn, then the capital of the Electorate of Cologne and part of the Holy Roman Empire, Beethoven displayed his musical talents at an early age and was taught by his father, Johann van Beethoven and by composer and conductor, Christian Gottlob Neefe. At the age of 21 he moved to Vienna, where he began studying composition with Joseph Haydn, and gained a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. He lived in Vienna until his death. By his late 20s his hearing began to deteriorate, and by the last decade of his life he was almost totally deaf. In 1811, he gave up conducting and performing in public but continued to compose; many of his most admired works came from the last 15 years of his life Although begun in 1802, the Fifth Symphony underwent a long gestation and did not reach completion until the spring of 1808. Significantly, the celebrated four-note motif that opens the piece was present in the earliest sketches. This motif, the figure Beethoven associated with “fate,” dominates the first movement, its rhythmic vigor accounting in no small way for the sense of agitation and momentum that prevail here. Beethoven provides a timely contrast to the turbulent spirit of the opening movement with the Andante con moto that follows. The scherzo is another matter. Here, the theme softly stated by the low strings in the opening measures seems ghostly and ominous, and its menacing aspect is confirmed moments later by a disturbing reappearance of the “fate” motif of the first movement.

Later, Beethoven creates a moment of extraordinary drama. The ghostly melody freezes in mid-step as time and motion are suspended. Slowly, the theme is taken and transformed measure by measure until the music bursts into the finale with a blaze of light and victory. The drama is not yet over, however. In the middle of this fourth movement, we suddenly return to the “fate” motif and the spectral atmosphere of the scherzo. This prepares a recapitulation not only of the movement’s themes but also of the dramatic passage from darkness to light, from despair to joy — that is the “meaning” of the finale and the goal of the entire symphony.

The Music as M edicine Series PSO Presents Music Therapy at Physicians’ Grand Rounds

By Jessica Perkins

S

ymphony goers have known and experienced the healing powers of music for centuries.

“Music as medicine has a long standing tradition that dates back to the ancient Greeks’ very own Apollo, the god of music and medicine,” Dr. Richard Smith says.

Today, there is sufficient medical evidence to support the idea that music truly is medicine. Even in western Kentucky, physicians are intrigued by the research and some are seeking new ways to utilize the resources available through the Paducah Symphony Orchestra (PSO) to bring comfort and healing to patients and their families.

38

“We have a great gift here in Paducah through the Paducah Symphony. We want to make the most of those resources,” Dr. Smith says.

Interest in music as medicine grew locally when, about two years ago, Dr. Smith was part of a conversation with Maestro Raffaele Ponti and others, discussing ways to effectively connect the local medical community with music’s healing powers.

The ideas collected from that discussion led to the introduction of a musical edition of a Grand Roundsstyle educational event hosted at the Paducah Country Club on fall evenings in 2015 and 2016.

Paducah Symphony Orchestra—Score February/March 2017

The PSO event models the concept of medical Grand Rounds, a practice familiar to doctors, in which each week during their residencies, they would gather with their mentors to discuss and learn from medical cases. The November event was relaxed and shared a similar goal of educating physicians on an important topic, music therapy and the resources available in Paducah.

Doctors and their guests were invited to enjoy a meal and social hour, while Maestro Ponti used a variety of media, slides, videos and scientific articles, to demonstrate the powerful effects of music on the human body and spirit.

The symphony hopes to connect more of Paducah’s medical community to the healing power of music by coordinating a series of future events designed to provide continuing education to them.

“It is hoped that the event will grow over time, as more is learned,” Dr. Smith says. “Music engages many parts of the brain in ways that other activities do not.”

Dr. Smith cites several examples of how music has proven to be an effective therapy for patients and their families. He has witnessed members of Paducah’s medical family using their own musical talents to bring peace and healing to those in the hospital.

“Dr. Larry Skinner has five wonderful children who have all been trained classically on string instruments,” Dr. Smith says. “For the last twenty years or so the children have Paducah Symphony Orchestra — Score February/March 2017

39

gathered to play in the halls on Christmas Day of both area hospitals.”

Stories much like this were shared throughout the evening of the November Grand Rounds event.

The halls of the hospital resound almost like a concert hall, Dr. Smith says.

“Music is so much more than entertainment. It’s art; it’s culture; it’s “To hear what our families say about entertainment,” Maestro Ponti says. their loved ones’ reactions--to see “And now it’s proven, along with them relax, smile, become calm and medicine and medical treatment, to less fearful about the treatments they help heal and treat patients.” are undergoing--is a real blessing to us,” Dr. Smith says.

Maestro Ponti demonstrated his

points using a variety of slides, videos and scientific articles.

Neonatologist Dr. Edward O’Neill attended the November event with his wife, Missy. While he was impressed with the message of music as healing, he also took away an important point from the presentation that extolled the positive impact that music, especially learning how to play it, has on all brains.

Music Ignites Unexpected Joy for Baptist Health Patients Music and medicine have always gone together, says Maestro Raffaele Ponti. From patients and families who reap its comforting rewards through listening, to medical staff who praise its positive effects on their own lives and on the lives of those whom they serve, music has always held a respected role in healing.

That’s what makes rehearsals and performances that the Paducah Symphony Orchestra hosts on occasion in the Baptist Health Paducah atrium so impactful.

“Music allows you to think about something other than what you may be going through for a moment. It allows you to focus on something beautiful, something bigger than yourself,” Baptist Health Paducah President Bill Brown says.

The hospital has been an avid supporter of the arts for decades, and up until recently most of the arts presence on campus was expressed visually. Hospital staff knew from recent studies and medical research that there was credibility to the idea that music could complement the healing process, so they 40

welcomed PSO to conduct holiday rehearsals and performances in the hospital’s atrium from time to time. The effects have been astonishing.

Hospital Director of Community Outreach Dona Rains says that each of these PSO performances provides unexpected joy for patients, their families and staff. The halls will sometimes be lined with patients and their IV poles or one might witness a smile on the face of a family member who has had little to smile about in recent days.

“We hope to bring peace, happiness and joy to people who may be going through a tough time in their lives,” Maestro Ponti says.

The musical partnership does not end with the passing of the holidays. In fact, various ensembles from the PSO are invited to perform at the hospital each month throughout the school year.

“If you have a few minutes, you can break away and enjoy a moment of respite,” Dona Rains says. “[These performances] give staff, patients and their families something soothing, something to uplift their spirits.”

Paducah Symphony Orchestra—Score February/March 2017

“The point that Raffaele was trying to make is that music goes beyond just listening. It can be used as a learning tool to help stimulate the brain, from infants to children to young adults and adults. Our brains change as we age. That’s why children are able to pick up information so quickly. He used a variety of slides to demonstrate those facts,” Dr. O’Neill says.

The grand rounds events are open to physicians and medical professionals who seek to further educate themselves on the various studies and research that has been done in the area of music therapy.

“In today’s day and age, people educate themselves online, and as we embrace that we have to be open to things like music as medicine in our evidence-based research,” Dr. O’Neill says.

Long-time PSO partner Lourdes Hospital sponsored the event.

“Lourdes supports the Paducah Symphony Orchestra because it provides experiences that enhance the quality of life in our community,” Steven Grinnell, Lourdes’ recently retired President and CEO says.

“The Grand Rounds event was a way to showcase the great work the PSO does and to provide an outlet for physicians who have an interest in music. From the beliefs of the ancient Greeks to recent medical studies, music has been shown to be an important complement to medical care.”

k c Ro i n 2 017–2 018

By Jamie Sears Rawlings

F

ew kids ever experience the chance to perform live music as part of a real-life orchestra, or to understand what work is needed to prepare for a live orchestral performance. The Paducah Symphony Orchestra intends to change that, offering students at partner schools that very opportunity in the 2017-2018 series through an innovative and hands-on learning experience.

During the 2017-2018 season, the PSO will join 94 other symphony organizations that span the United States and cross oceans to Kenya, Spain, Japan and Brazil which offer the Link Up National Program presented by the prestigious Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall.

PSO officials hope that the program will make their 42

music education series truly rock by utilizing The Orchestra Rocks curriculum that explores rhythm, pulse and groove through the use of recorders.

“This is not just your standard concert where students will come and listen to the concert and then go home,” says Hillarie O’Toole, manager of learning and engagement programs at The Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall.

“Rather, the students are preparing in their classrooms with their teachers with a fleshed-out supplementary music curriculum where they will learn to perform several pieces of repertoire alongside the orchestra from their seats in the hall.”

“So, they are really immersing themselves into the

Paducah Symphony Orchestra—Score February/March 2017

repertoire of the orchestral concert and learning about musical concepts along the way,” O’Toole continues.

For Janine Zerger, Operations Manager at Paducah Symphony Orchestra, the key component that attracted her to the Link Up Program was the hands-on aspect that it offered students.

“We are attempting to augment our music education program by offering opportunities for students to become more engaged with the music itself,” says Zerger.

“The Link Up Program will join another new interactive program that we implemented earlier this season, ‘Making Music Nashville Style,’ where students participated in songwriting workshops.”

The Carson Center, who manages The Class Acts Series, feels that the Symphony’s new direction in 2017-2018 directly mirrors their own goals for the series.

“Each year we strive to bring our audiences fresh and innovative national and international arts performances and experiences which complement school curriculum and expand students’ understanding of the world around them,” says Mary Katz, education director at The Carson Center.

“We are thrilled to be able to expose our young audiences to professional symphonic music and we have enjoyed working with the PSO on the productions to find the right formula of educating and entertaining our youth.”

“We are very excited about this new program from Carnegie Hall and believe that it will provide a new twist to the program that will hopefully engage audiences on a deeper level,” Katz says.

O’Toole believes that the Link Up program offers partner symphonies a level of engagement that goes even beyond student engagement—a unique avenue of community development as well.

“Link Up addresses the need for schools and teachers to have music education resources and for orchestras to really connect with their communities and with teachers and introduce students to this art form by bridging a real

relationship and forging a real relationship with schools and teachers,” O’Toole says.

“Building community is one of the priorities between the orchestra and the teachers and, of course, between the students and the larger community.”

Zerger sees the Link Up partnership as yet another avenue by which the PSO can achieve one of its top priorities—building a community that benefits from music.

“From the youngest to the oldest in our region, we believe that it is our job to expose everyone to quality music, which enhances our culture as a community.”
