WELCOME Dear Friends, Welcome to the 31st annual IPL Yuletide Celebration!

In this 31st year, we will actually be presenting 31 Yuletide performances over 18 days. Many times people ask me, “How do you do it?” Well, it is of course not just me but an entire team that contribute to this production.

First, there are the people behind the scenes. We have a fantastic stage crew. About 30 of this hard working crew are needed just for the load in of the stage that you see in front of you. We then use 13 members for each show to help us create the atmosphere patrons have loved about Yuletide year after year. We then have our costume and wardrobe team who have spent months in the design and fitting phases and now take care of us for each and every performance. And then there’s the fantastic artistic team, creating and executing the direction of the music, dancing, and acting that has entertained audiences year after year. I think they start their planning for next year’s production on December 24—and that is not an exaggeration.

Then, we have the incredibly talented cast. This year, I’m thrilled to welcome for the first time to the Hilbert Circle Theatre stage, Josh Kaufman! Josh’s story is a true inspiration that you can achieve your goals with hard work and drive. Many of you recognize Josh from The Voice, but you may not know that just a few years ago, he was doing local performances at small venues in town, even around the corner from our theater! In addition to Josh, we have tap dancing sensations Sean and John Scott who also make their Yuletide debut this year. And of course, we have our cast of singers and dancers that continue to impress me with their talent, enthusiasm, and spirit.

And then, we have the reason why we’re all here—the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. The musicians of the ISO just finished a jam packed fall season, performing Beethoven to Harry Potter, Chopin to Doo Wop. Now, not only will they perform Yuletide, but they are joining the Indianapolis School of Ballet in their production of The Nutcracker in mid-December and performing the Messiah at the Palladium in Carmel on December 22! We are so fortunate to have musicians of such high artistic quality (and a lot of energy) in our city!

I’ve told you about what takes place on stage and behind the scenes, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank the countless others that make Yuletide happen. Our neighbors next door, Indianapolis Power & Light, are such an amazing supportive title sponsor. Our ISO board, staff, and volunteers put countless hours into making not just Yuletide but all ISO productions a success. And then there are all of you—our patrons and donors who continue to sustain our effort and creativity.

Because of your support, we can continue to make Yuletide Indiana’s greatest holiday tradition.

From all of us to you, have a wonderful holiday season, and thank you for making the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra a part of it.

ISO PROFILE

Under the leadership of Krzysztof Urbański, one of the most acclaimed young conductors in the world, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra is dedicated to performing concerts of the highest artistic quality, offering accessible musical experiences for all ages, working collaboratively to create powerful, enriching arts events, and serving its community like never before—inside and outside the concert hall.

A Brief History Under the baton of Ferdinand Schaefer, 60 men and women made their official debut as the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra on Sunday, November 2, 1930, in Caleb Mills Hall in the newly built Shortridge High School. In the decades since this debut concert, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra has emerged as one of America’s top orchestras that attracts the finest musicians, guest conductors and artists from all over the world and presents quality classical, pops, family and holiday programming to hundreds of thousands of people each year. The ISO has received national and international acclaim with its radio broadcasts, tours and recordings and became the first major orchestra with a resident ensemble (Time for Three).

The ISO’s home—the Hilbert Circle Theatre Built in 1916, the Circle Theatre in downtown Indianapolis was the first motion picture palace west of New York built especially for the purpose of showing feature-length photoplays. From 1916–1981, the Circle Theatre’s repertoire ranged from world premiere movie features, classical concerts and live stage shows to low-budget motion pictures and short films. The facility was transformed into an orchestra hall on October 12, 1984, when the ISO made its move from Clowes Memorial Hall to downtown Indianapolis.

With a significant gift from Steve and Tomisue Hilbert in 1996, the hall was renamed the Hilbert Circle Theatre. In 2013, new seats were installed to create more accessibility and comfort for patrons, courtesy of Lilly Endowment Inc. Leadership within the ISO Maestro Krzysztof Urbański was appointed as the ISO’s seventh Music Director on October 19, 2010, and has now become a preferred and highly respected conductor among top orchestras in Europe, Asia and the United States. Principal Pops Conductor Jack Everly’s approach to innovative pops programming has garnered acclaim throughout North America, where he continues to serve as the Principal Pops Conductor for four major orchestras, including Indianapolis. Concertmaster Zach De Pue is in his ninth season with the ISO, leading the orchestra in performances and new audience development initiatives.

Conductor Laureate Raymond Leppard, who successfully led the ISO for 14 years as Music Director, continues his involvement through appearances on the podium each season.

The ISO in 2016–2017 In his sixth season with the ISO, Krzysztof Urbański focuses on major works by Beethoven, Prokofiev, Mahler and Chopin and is collaborating with renowned soloists André Watts, Hilary Hahn and Dejan Lazić. Maestro Urbański also presents the Music of the Earth festival, a mid-winter festival of musical masterworks inspired by the majesty of our planet. In the Printing Partners Pops Series, Maestro Jack Everly is proud to conduct John Williams’ Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark with film and orchestra, Sci-Fi Spectacular, celebrating the 50th anniversary of Star Trek, and Timeless Classics with music legend, Maureen McGovern. Upcoming special events include the 31st anniversary of the IPL Yuletide Celebration and the 100th anniversary of the Hilbert Circle Theatre.

FRANCES HEAVRIN

MUSIC IN MY LIFE

Frances Heavrin is currently the Event Coordinator at the ISO. She was born in Indianapolis and raised on the east side of town. She graduated from Our Lady Lord’s Great School and Saint Mary Academy. She has been working for the ISO for the past 30 years in various roles: usher, head usher, event supervisor, and rental coordinator. Outside of the ISO, Frances has 8 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren, she is very active in her church, and volunteers with several sports in town.

What is your favorite memory with the ISO? In 2006, I got to be a part of the IPL Yuletide Celebration, thanks to Jack Everly. That experience was marvelous.

Then they gave me the opportunity to be opposite Sandi Patty in Hello, Dolly! So these two memories particularly stand out to me. I remember being so nervous. Hello, Dolly! was fun for me because it was a shorter period of time, and I got to say a few lines with Sandi, and she was very nice. So my personal experience, being able to say I was a cast member with two of our great musical experiences here, has been a treasure that I won’t forget.

What ISO series do you love the most?

I’m always excited for the Lilly Classical Series when Maestro Urbański is here. He has such energy, and absolutely transforms the audience with his passion for the music. Nobody can beat Jack Everly for putting together a fantastic Printing Partners Pop Series. I truly look forward to them all.

Our Stella Artois Happy Hour at the Symphony—they are so much fun, and they bring in such a wide variety of people. It’s hard for me to pick just one favorite because they all bring their own unique style. This is an exciting time to be here. Every new season brings its own hopes, its own challenges, but in the end, we are so fortunate to have this orchestra here. There are cities in this nation where you can’t hear a symphony orchestra without driving miles. It is a treasure to hear this orchestra week in and week out. I cannot imagine this city without this orchestra.

What is it like to be a part of the ISO family?

It is a privilege beyond anything I could’ve ever imagined to work for the ISO. I’m so grateful to be exposed to this music all the time and this organization. I am so proud to be some small part of it­­—it truly is a privilege for me.

If you could describe yourself as any instrument, what would it be and why?

The people who know me would probably say a trumpet because I talk loud and am usually in a hurry! I would want people to remember me as a harp because it makes such beautiful soothing sounds. I would want to be the instrument that brings more soothing peaceful sounds to somebody rather than a loud trumpet, but if everyone hears me, then I suppose I am a trumpet.

INSIDE THE USHER CORPS Ushers are Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra ambassadors and an integral part of our success! These volunteers are responsible for providing outstanding customer service to Hilbert Circle Theatre and Marsh Symphony on the Prairie patrons. Read the experience first-hand from one of our dedicated ISO volunteers, Dave and Sharon Reed.

Dave and Sharon Reed are originally from south-central Illinois and lived in the Chicago suburbs for twelve years before moving to Indianapolis 36 years ago. Dave worked with AT&T Bell Laboratories and Lucent Technologies in Research and Development for 30 years. Sharon worked for the Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township as an elementary secretary. They are both retired and have been dedicated volunteers with the ISO for the past five years.

What motivated you to get involved as a volunteer for the ISO? We have been attending concerts at Marsh Symphony on the Prairie for 35 years. Five years ago we decided to volunteer for the first time. We both enjoyed the experience and the following year we started ushering here at Hilbert Circle Theater. It is a perfect opportunity to support the arts in Indianapolis, plus the concerts are great!

Did you ever play an instrument?

Neither of us can even read music, but we always feel that there needs to be an audience to appreciate the talent of the musicians. We truly enjoy being a member of the audience!

What has been your favorite experience with the ISO so far?

Both of us enjoyed the evening that Kenny G performed. We were asked to try to keep those attending from taking pictures while Kenny G signed autographs. He was very kind throughout the evening and spent time with Sharon as the concert was on her birthday. The concert was also one of the best we have attended!

Why is volunteering for the ISO important to you?

Because the ISO is a non profit, we support it by volunteering to ensure the ISO can continue to be the outstanding orchestra it is. It is especially important that our grandchildren will have the opportunity to appreciate the ISO in the future.

What would you tell someone that is considering volunteering with the ISO? Volunteering allows you to, of course, hear great music! But, you will also meet the awesome staff, the dedicated volunteers, and the patrons. The hours and dates are flexible so you can select to work the concerts that you would most enjoy! It’s great! Try it for yourself!

HISTORY

IPL YULETIDE CELEBRATION

Background Before the IPL Yuletide Celebration, The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra filled its December calendar with everything from Messiah and Bach’s Christmas Oratorio to the Nutcracker with the Butler holiday themed pops shows.

In 1986, the ISO changed gears completely and became the first American orchestra to create a Broadway musical style holiday extravaganza with singing, dancing, puppetry, and other theatrical elements. The IPL Yuletide Celebration started small, with only eight performances in the first year – and has now grown to be the largest orchestra-produced holiday presentation of its kind in North America, with more than 30 performances attracting more than 40,000 people each December.

Hosts Many noted celebrities have hosted the IPL Yuletide Celebration: veteran comedienne and star of stage, Yuletide Celebration 2002 screen, and television, Kaye Ballard (1991); 1981 Miss America (top) and 2004 (bottom). and host of the Discover Channel’s Home Matters, Susan Powell (1993); two time Tony-Award winning actress, Judy Kaye (1994, 1995); longtime star as “The Phantom” in Broadway’s production of The Phantom of the Opera, Ted Keegan (1999); acclaimed singer and actress who portrayed Dr. Josie Conklin on the ABC Television’s daytime soap opera One Life To Live, Pamela Isaacs (2001); two-time Grammy Award-winning soprano, Sylvia McNair (2003); legendary pop music icon Maureen McGovern (2009); opera star and Indianapolis native Angela Brown; Broadway star Ben Crawford (2012, 2014); and award-winning vocalist Sandi Patty (2000, 2002, 2005, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2015).

Conductors The first conductor for the IPL Yuletide Celebration was longtime Oklahoma City Philharmonic Music Director Joel Levine (1986–1990). Following Maestro Levine were Indianapolis Opera Artistic Director James Caraher (1991), Boston Pops Music Director Keith Lockhart (1992–1993), and current ISO Principal Pops Conductor Jack Everly (1994–present). Another noted member of the IPL Yuletide Celebration artistic team was Broadway choreographer Mercedes Ellington, the granddaughter of famed band leader Duke Ellington, who choreographed elaborate dance elements for the show for 10 years (1991–2000).

JACK EVERLY, Conductor

Jack Everly is the Principal Pops Conductor of the Indianapolis and Baltimore Symphony Orchestras, Naples Philharmonic Orchestra, and the National Arts Centre Orchestra (Ottawa). He has conducted the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, the New York Pops at Carnegie Hall, and appears regularly with the Cleveland Orchestra at Blossom Music Center. Maestro Everly will conduct over 90 performances in more than 20 North American cities this season.

As Music Director of the National Memorial Day Concert and A Capitol Fourth on PBS, Maestro Everly proudly leads the National Symphony Orchestra in these patriotic celebrations on the National Mall. These concerts attract hundreds of thousands of attendees on the lawn, and the broadcasts reach millions of viewers and are some of the very highest-rated programming on PBS television.

Mr. Everly is also the Music Director of the IPL

22

Yuletide Celebration, now a 31-year tradition.

He led the ISO in its first Pops recording, Yuletide Celebration, Volume One, that included three of his own orchestrations.

Some of his other recordings include In The Presence featuring the Czech Philharmonic and Daniel Rodriguez; Sandi Patty’s Broadway Stories; the soundtrack to Disney’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame; and Everything’s Coming Up Roses: The Complete Overtures Of Jule Styne.

Originally appointed by Mikhail Baryshnikov, Mr. Everly was conductor of the American Ballet Theatre for 14 years, where he served as Music Director. In addition to his ABT tenure, he teamed with Marvin Hamlisch on Broadway shows that Mr. Hamlisch scored.

He conducted Carol Channing hundreds of times in Hello, Dolly! in two separate Broadway productions.

Maestro Everly, a graduate of the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University, is a recipient of the 2015 Indiana Historical Society Living Legends Award and holds an Honorary Doctorate of Arts from Franklin College in his home state of Indiana. He is a proud resident of the Indianapolis community for over 14 years, and when not on the podium you can find Maestro Everly at home with his family, which includes Max the wonder dog.

JOSH KAUFMAN, Host For most of his life, Josh Kaufman has used his smooth, masterful vocals to uplift and inspire. As winner of the sixth season of The Voice, the Indianapolisbased singer/ songwriter proved himself possessed of a stunning range and singular power to capture pure emotion. Also a longtime guitarist and piano player, Kaufman is now gearing up to release a debut album that channels his rich vocal work into a gracefully catchy blend of soul, funk, R&B, rock, and classic pop.

Growing up in a musical family, the Floridaborn Kaufman got his start singing in church when he was just four years old. In addition to performing in choirs throughout his childhood, he further honed his vocal skills in part by closely studying the layered harmonies of gospel music. While attending high school in Blacksburg, Virginia, Kaufman began playing in bands and writing his own songs, mining much inspiration from the soulful yet fiery and guitar-fueled sound

of Lenny Kravitz. Kaufman kept up with his music throughout college, and some years after earning his degree in philosophy went on to become a staple of the Indianapolis music scene as a solo artist and frontman for local soul band, The New Etiquette.

Along with setting to work on his debut album, Kaufman’s kept busy over the past year by sitting in with The Roots on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, headlining the Indy Jazz Fest, and making his Broadway debut in the Tony Award-winning Pippin (for which he played the lead and title role). Naming soul legends like Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye and introspective singer/ songwriters like Jeff Buckley and Paul Simon among his favorite artists, Kaufman says one of his main goals for his debut is to make music infused with a powerful intimacy. “I’m a pretty reserved and introverted person by nature, and singing has always been a way to express the things that I might not express otherwise,” Kaufman notes. “At its best, music creates this deep emotional connection that transcends explanation,” he continues, “and that, I think, is what keeps me making music.”

SEAN & JOHN SCOTT, The Extraordinary Tap Dancing Twins

DEC 2–23

Tapping twins phenomena, Sean and John Scott, step into today’s fast-paced dance industry and revolutionize tap through a unique fusion of past traditional dance routines and modern hip hop. Having trained with professional tap master and innovator, Alfred Desio since the age of six, the identical twins earned big performance breaks on television shows including NBC’s American Dreams, The Tonight Show, and 30 Seconds to Fame. They have also performed at the MTV Video Music Awards alongside Christina Aguilera, currently a judge on the hit television music competition, The Voice, and hip hop mogul, Nelly, of the CW’s The Next.

Word of the tapping extraordinaires have also reached the ears of celebrities like Prince, Usher, Stevie Wonder, and Beyonce, wherein the duo take on different frames of tap dancing from jazz and hip hop, to Broadway.

The twin brothers rose out of their humble beginnings at The Colburn School of Performing Arts, as they began to explore, master, and revamp different interpretations of tap dancing by blending quick footwork with a punch of attitude. Mirroring not only the physical appearance of the other, the Scott boys possess an extraordinary amount of dance chemistry that explodes into electrifying performances. With their recent appearances on Disney’s hit television show Shake It Up and Nickelodeon’s Yo Gabba Gabba, Sean and John prove to be entertainers with an X-factor and overflowing passion for their craft.

The brothers have also been featured on VEGAS! The Show (rated #1 in 2011), The Variety Show, and in Beyonce’s “I Am…Tour.”

ERIC STARK, Conductor Eric Stark continues to build on a highly regarded career as conductor, educator, collaborator, and community leader. He has conducted in New York City’s Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington DC, has made frequent conducting appearances in South America, and has led choirs on domestic tours in Atlanta, Chicago, New Orleans, Orlando, and Tampa.

In December 2008, he made his podium debut as guest conductor of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, performing Handel’s Messiah to a sold-out audience in Clowes Memorial Hall (“galvanic performance.... the Choir sang excellently throughout.” Nuvo Newsweekly). His December 2007, Washington DC debut with the Washington Chorus was met with critical and popular acclaim (“Eric Stark had the chorus singing crisply and brightly....its rich, close harmonies shimmering.”

Washington Post). In February 2006, he led the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir in the final concert performance of the American Choral Directors’ Association Convention in Chicago, Illinois. In June of 2010, he traveled to Shanghai to conduct Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem in the Shanghai Oriental Art Center Concert Hall with members of the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir and Festival Orchestra.

As conductor of major works for chorus and orchestra, Stark has led performances of Britten’s War Requiem and Saint Nicolas, Mendelssohn’s Elijah and Die erste Walpurgisnacht, Orff’s Carmina Burana, Bach’s Christmas Oratorio and numerous cantatas, Handel’s Messiah, Zipoli’s Te Deum, Beethoven’s Mass in C, Mozart’s “Coronation” Mass and Requiem, Brahms’s Ein deutsches Requiem, the Poulenc Gloria, Fauré’s Requiem, and Lauridsen’s Lux Aeterna. He has prepared choruses for such notable conductors as Raymond Leppard, Jahja Ling, Jesus Lopez-Cobos, Mario Venzago, Carl St. Clair, Erich Kunzel, and Jack Everly. His choruses are heard on three compact discs, including From East to West, (2005) a holiday compilation with the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir, The Harmonies of Hoosier History, (2001) featuring works by Indiana composers performed by the Indianapolis Arts Chorale and A Festival of Carols (1997) with the Muncie, Indiana Masterworks Chorale.

Stark’s work as artistic collaborator and community leader has been both broad and unique. Under his leadership, his choirs have performed with such groups as the Indianapolis Symphony Orhcestra, Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra, Dance Kaleidoscope, Indiana Repertory Theatre, Indianapolis Children’s Choir, American Pianists Association, Jordan College Academy of Dance, Indianapolis Museum of Art, Clowes Memorial Hall, Orquesta Sinfonica Juvenil de Santa Cruz de la Sierra (Bolivia), and Butler University. He was honored with a Creative Renewal Fellowship from the Arts Council of Indianapolis in 2005. A firm believer in the power of music to connect diverse audiences and enrich lives, Stark has led a revitalized program of innovative educational outreach programs since joining the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir in 2002. In-Choir-ing Minds is an interactive discussion/performance featuring engaging dialog interspersed with live musical examples. Hallelujah-What’s It to Ya?! is a light-hearted musical inspection of the greatest musical work of all time, Handel’s “Hallelujah” chorus.

The in-depth Choral Colloquium focuses on the contextual issues surrounding the great works for chorus and orchestra, and has featured such notable participants as composers Morten Lauridsen and Kyle Gann, scholar/performers Vance George, John Shirley-Quirk, Byron Adams and R. Larry Todd, and theologians Richard Hamilton and Frank Burch Brown.

In addition to his duties as Artistic Director of the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir, Stark is also Associate Professor of Music at Butler University’s Jordan College of Fine Arts where he conducts the Butler Chorale and Chamber Singers, teaches courses in conducting and choral literature, and serves as coordinator of the vocal and choral areas. A 1988 graduate of Wabash College, he is also a volunteer pilot for Angel Flight, a non-profit network of pilots providing free air transportation for those with medical needs.

Praised by the New York Times for her “luminous voice” and “intensely expressive interpretations,” and named “remarkable, artistically mature” and “a singer to watch” by Opera News, soprano Sarah Shafer is quickly emerging as a sought after artist on both the operatic and concert stage.

Highlights of previous seasons include the world premiere of Marco Tutino’s Two Women at San Francisco Opera in the role of Rosetta, as well as creating the role of Mary Lennox in the world premiere of Nolan Gasser’s The Secret Garden, also with the San Francisco Opera. Other career highlights include Barbarina and the cover role of Susanna in Le nozze di Figaro at the Glyndebourne Festival and the BBC Proms in London’s Royal Albert Hall, and several roles for Opera Philadelphia including Nuria in Osvaldo Golijov’s Ainadamar, Voce dal Cielo in Don Carlo, and Papagena in Die Zauberflöte.

A recent graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music, Ms. Shafer’s credits for Curtis Opera Theatre include over 20 productions and a variety of roles such as Pamina in Die Zauberflöte, Almirena in Rinaldo, Giulietta in I Capuleti e i Montecchi, Elizabeth Zimmer in Henze’s Elegy for Young Lovers, Ilia in Idomeneo, Rosina in Il barbiere di Siviglia, Sofia in Il Signor Bruschino, and Mélisande in Impressions of Pelléas. Most recently, she sang the role of Sister Constance in Poulenc’s Dialogues of the Carmelites.

A native of State College, Pennsylvania, Ms. Shafer holds degrees in voice and opera from the Curtis Institute of Music and is currently based in Philadelphia.

British mezzo-soprano Diana Moore is receiving wide acclamation and recognition on both sides of the Atlantic for her “emotional depth” (The Guardian), “thrilling technical bravura” (Gramophone), and “rich, evocative sound” (San Francisco Chronicle). The Times calls her,“a singer to cherish, with a genuine contralto tone not often heard outside the recordings of Ferrier and Janet Baker.”

On the concert stage, she has appeared at many leading venues across the world, including the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, the Tonhalle Zurich, the Barbican Centre, the Kultur Kongresscentrum Luzern, Lincoln Centre New York, and at the BBC Proms in the Royal Albert Hall.

Recent and future engagements include a return to San Francisco with Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra for the modern day premiere of a newly discovered work by Scarlatti, La Gloria di Primavera, followed by a US-wide tour and CD recording, Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall, and also at Gloucester and Winchester Cathedrals, and Norwich’s St Andrew’s Hall, Handel’s Messiah with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, and Mahler’s Das Knaben Wunderhorn songs with Royal Northern Sinfonia at the SAGE Gateshead.

(I Corinthians 15:52-53) Chorus Worthy is the Lamb that was slain and hath redeemed us to God by His blood, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. Blessing and honour, glory and power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, for ever and ever. Amen.

(Revelation 5:12-14)
