WELCOME IT IS MY PLEASURE TO WELCOME YOU TO THE NEW BARCLAY.

These are exciting times, and there are many changes underway at Irvine Barclay Theatre. The 2016–2017 season marks the start of several new programming initiatives that include a Jazz Series and the Great American Songbook Series.

In addition, the Barclay is renewing its commitment to family programming, and beginning an expansion of its ArtsReach program that takes artists performing on our stage into classrooms and community outreach programs.

The Barclay’s signature International Contemporary Dance Series continues, featuring four companies with international flair, and the theatre will carry on its tradition of programming in world music, flamenco and Hawaiian music.

The Barclay is moving forward to have a stronger presence in Irvine and the surrounding Orange County communities and we are indebted to all who help us maintain the Barclay — a truly unique community resource: our staff and our board of directors; our public partners — the City of Irvine and UCI; and you, the audience. Your continued contribution supports the programs we present and allows us to serve you and the entire community.

I thank you for being here and hope to see you many times throughout the year.

JOEY ALEXANDER Born on June 25, 2003 on the island of Bali, pianist Joey Alexander originally learned about jazz from his dad, who exposed his son to a variety of classic albums from his extensive collection. At the age of six, Joey began teaching himself to play piano using a mini electronic keyboard given to him by his father. He was immediately able to pick out the melody of Monk’s “Well, You Needn’t,” but he didn’t stop there. Joey’s dad nurtured his gift of swing and improvisation by taking him to jam sessions with veteran musicians in Bali and Jakarta.

Joey’s musicianship and grasp of jazz fundamentals developed at a remarkable pace, and at age eight, UNESCO invited him to play solo piano for an elated Herbie Hancock during the piano great’s visit to Indonesia. Joey later remarked to Hancock, “You told me that you believed in me, and that was the day I decided to dedicate my childhood to jazz.”

At nine, Joey won the grand prize at the first Master-Jam Fest, an all-ages competition in Ukraine which included 200 competitors from 17 countries. By 10, he was performing at jazz festivals in both Jakarta and Copenhagen. An invitation from Wynton Marsalis led to his U.S. debut appearance at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Rose Hall in 2014 where he amazed the audience with his musicality, followed by appearances before the Jazz Foundation of America at the Apollo and the Arthur Ashe Learning Center at Gotham Hall. Wishing to encourage the continued development of Joey’s prodigious playing, his parents sold the family business in Jakarta and relocated to the United States. Success did not arrive overnight, however. Promoters were skeptical that an 11 year-old could drive substantial ticket sales and captivate discerning jazz audiences, but soon recognized his ability

to absolutely delight audiences, despite the challenges associated with learning a new language. Joey experienced a major stroke of luck when he received an invitation from impresario George Wein to perform on two stages at the prestigious Newport Jazz Festival. Joey took full advantage of the opportunity and brought audiences to their feet with his playful musicality and keen sense of swing.

Over the past two years Joey has been paying his dues and honing his craft: learning what it means to be a bandleader, keeping material fresh after repeated performances, and seeking out sidemen who are also collaborators. Along the way, The Joey Alexander Trio has performed at wellknown venues and major festivals across the United States and around the globe, including tour dates in Tel Aviv, Marciac, Montréal, Abu Dhabi, Singapore, Bern, Prague, Vienna, Perugia, and his native Indonesia.

Media interest in Joey has resulted in appearances and interviews for The Today Show, 60 Minutes, CNN, The New York Times, and a host of other television, radio and print media. This has fueled a rare level of public notoriety for Joey as a jazz musician, entirely unheard of for one his age, both within the jazz community and among the public at large.

His 2015 debut album for Motema Music, My Favorite Things, garnered two Grammy Award nominations for “Best Jazz Instrumental Album” and “Best Improvised Solo” for his performance of John Coltrane’s “Giant Steps,” making him the youngest jazz artist ever nominated for a Grammy. His performances on the 58th Annual Grammy Awards broadcast — far more magical than what was expected — received standing ovations from the star-studded audience, bringing his talent to the attention of music lovers everywhere,

mesmerizing long-time industry professionals, and inspiring other young musicians to pursue their own dreams.

Through all of this, Joey has remained humble, focused on developing as a player and pursuing his growing interest in composing. His highly-anticipated sophomore album Countdown (set for release in September 2016 on Motema Music) showcases Joey’s remarkable development as a contemporary jazz bandleader and promise as a composer.

He develops fresh takes on well-known tunes, combining them seamlessly with his own original compositions in a way which engages both new and seasoned listeners and reflects the true emotional heart and soul of his musical personality.

Joey says that his growth as a composer is due to the hours he spends practicing piano in between his school, media and touring commitments — and his rare moments of free time in which he enjoys doing “regular kid things” like watching movies, playing games, swimming, and tennis.

“Sometimes, when I’m just practicing or playing something, new melodic and rhythmic ideas come to me, and I realize that I’m actually starting to compose a song,” he says. “I think that writing memorable tunes comes from listening to so much music from composers and artists I like. I actually find it harder to interpret other people’s songs than to write my own, because I have to figure out and feel what the song is about and find a way to make it my own.”

Wynton Marsalis says of Joey, “There has never been anyone that you can think of who could play like that at his age. I love everything about his playing — his rhythm, his confidence, his understanding of the music.” Now, as he enters his teen years, Joey takes another step in charting his artistic direction with the release of Countdown.

“You know, I love both creating music in the studio and performing for people onstage,” he says, “but I have to admit there’s something special about getting a crowd excited by playing jazz live. In most situations I try to be calm, but I love the intense energy that happens between me and the audience. When they express their appreciation in this way, I am inspired to go deeper as a person and musician, improve my craft and create exciting new sounds.”

Building upon the swing and improvisational style that made his first project a critical and popular success, Countdown is a reflection of the growth and maturity of Joey Alexander as an artist, and a confident next step toward a limitless future.

Donmar Warehouse. Their act Boom!, a critically acclaimed celebration of the baby-boomer hits of the 60’s and 70’s, was recorded on PS Classics, which debuted in the top 25 on Billboard Jazz. Ann was featured in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade telecast watched by 6 million people, singing the Emmy Award-winning song “Yes, Virginia.” She took the symphony world by storm with her show, The Streisand Songbook, which she premiered with the Boston Pops and continues to tour with top orchestras across the country.

After performing the show at 54 Below, she garnered two Broadwayworld.com awards and the 2013 MAC Award for Show of the Year.

Ann’s latest recordings have garnered great critical acclaim: Ann Hampton Callaway – from Sassy to Divine: The Sarah Vaughan Project in 2014 and The Hope of Christmas in 2015. She is featured on her sister Liz Callaway’s holiday EP Merry and Bright as well as on the CD Johnny Mandel: the Man and His Music (Arbors Records). Her other solo CD’s, At Last, Blues in the Night, Slow and Signature, have received rave reviews as well. She has recorded popular holiday CD’s — Holiday Pops! with Peter Nero and the Philly Pops, and her solo CD, This Christmas. Ann’s other recordings include Easy Living, To Ella with Love, After Ours, Bring Back Romance, Ann Hampton Callaway, and the award-winning live recording, Sibling Revelry. Callaway has also been a guest performer on more than 40 CD’s including Kenny Barron’s CD, The Traveler.

Ann’s dream of working in film, TV and radio has been realized in several projects. She made her feature film debut opposite Angelina Jolie and Matt Damon in the Robert De Niro film The Good Shepherd, performing the standard

“Come Rain or Come Shine.” She recorded “Isn’t It Romantic?” and “The Nearness of You” in Wayne Wong’s Last Holiday, starring Queen Latifah. Ann wrote songs for the upcoming movie musical State of Affairs, to be directed by Philip McKinley. And, as a part of her mission to keep the American Songbook thriving, she has produced and hosted two TV specials called Singer’s Spotlight with Ann Hampton Callaway with guests Liza Minnelli and Christine Ebersole for WTTW National. This year, Ann launched a new four-part radio series called This Is Cabaret. Ann celebrates intimate performances and emotionally engaging songs from jazz, the blues, Broadway and the Great American Songbook.

Special guests perform and share personal insights with Ann, live from the stage of the legendary Birdland Jazz Club in the heart of New York City. Throughout the series, Ann holds court and engages some of the most interesting singers and songwriters, including Steve Tyrell, Christine Ebersole, Curtis Stigers, and Kurt Elling.

Ann devotes much of her time to philanthropic causes, both as a singer performing in numerous benefits, and as a songwriter composing songs in times of need. In September 2005, Ann performed her original composition “Let the Saints Come Marching,” written to honor Hurricane Katrina victims, on a national TV broadcast on the Fox News Channel. Her song “Who Can See the Blue the Same Again?” was released in 2005 as a single, paying tribute to the tsunami survivors and raising much needed money for The Tsunami Fund of The PRASAD Project. In the aftermath of September 11th, Ann composed the stirring anthem, “Believe in America,” which she performed on Larry King Live and released as a CD single. Just days after the tragedy,

Ann heard an 8,000-year-old prayer from the Rigveda and composed the world renowned “Let Us Be United.”

Ann recorded the song with Kenny Werner, the Siddha Yoga International Choir and five-year-old Sonali Beaven, who sang in honor of her father who lost his life on Flight 93.

It was released on CD and DVD and its proceeds continue to benefit Save the Children and The PRASAD Project.

Ann’s father was Chicago’s legendary TV and radio journalist, John Callaway. Her mother, Shirley Callaway, a superb singer, pianist and one of New York’s most in-demand vocal coaches, was recently featured at New York’s Town Hall, singing with Ann and her sister, Liz.

MENDELSSOHN: ALLEGRO BRILLANTE IN A MAJOR, OP. 92 Mendelssohn completed the Allegro brillante on March 23, 1841, during a period when the 32-year-old composer was writing a number of works for piano; later that year he would complete one of his finest piano works, the Variations sérieuses and then go on to compose his “Scottish” Symphony. As its name suggests, the brief Allegro brillante sets out to be brilliant music, and in this it succeeds completely.

This is a display piece for two very skillful pianists, polished in its techniques and full of attractive tunes.

The themes—there are a progression of them—are generally introduced by the upper hands, but the lower hands play an extraordinary part, full of very rapid runs and requiring the utmost skill to project these clearly without obscuring the upper line. The music seems in constant motion throughout, and it drives to an exciting close.

—Eric Bromberger BACH (ARR. KURTAG): GOTTES ZEIT IST DIE ALLERBESTE ZEIT, BWV 106 AND AUS TIEFER NOT SCHREI ICH ZU DIR, BWV 687 On today’s program, music by Bach will be heard in arrangements by György Kurtág. Born in 1926, Kurtág has made a number of arrangements for two-, four-, and six-hand piano of music by Bach, and both arrangements heard today are of the first movements of Bach cantatas. Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit was originally the opening Sonatina of Bach’s early Cantata No. 106. Marked Molto adagio, it makes a solemn introduction to that cantata. The equally solemn Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir was originally the opening movement of Bach’s chorale Cantata No. 38, composed in Leipzig in 1724; Bach used the ancient chorale melody to set a text that Martin Luther had drawn from Psalm 130.

—Eric Bromberger IRVINE BARCLAY THEATRE | 11

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

BRAHMS: 11 CHORALE PRELUDES, OP. 122, NO. 1 “MEIN JESU, DER DU MICH” AND NO. 10 “HERZLICH THUT MICH VERLANGEN” Bookending the works of Bach are two of Brahms’ 11 Chorale Preludes, which date from the summer of 1896 and are among the very last music he composed.

Originally written for organ, Brahms expressed in this piece his devastation over the recent death of Clara Schumann and his own failing health by marrying his dense motivic ideas with Bach’s contrapuntal style.

In Mein Jesu, der du mich (“My Jesus calls to me”), the original Lutheran hymn melody is heard as the cantus firmus in the bass, while a chorale fugue embellishes it from above. Similarly, Herzlich tut mich verlangen (“My heart is filled with longing”), is based on an ancient chorale melody that was a particular favorite of Bach, who used it in a number of works, including the Saint Matthew Passion.

—Siri Bloom & Eric Bromberger CHOPIN: RONDO IN C MAJOR, OP. 73 Listeners should not be misled by this work’s high opus number—the Rondo in C major is in fact one of Chopin’s earliest works, composed while he was still a high school student in Warsaw. In early 1828, about the time he turned 18, Chopin composed a Rondo in C major for piano solo. Late that summer he was invited to join a family friend on a trip to Berlin, and along the way—in the village of Sanniki—he returned to the rondo and re-wrote it for two pianos. It is Chopin’s only work for two pianos, and he chose not to publish it. But in the years after his death at age 39, some of Chopin’s friends retrieved and published music that the composer had left in manuscript. The Rondo in C major was one of these works—it appeared in Berlin in 1855, six years after the composer’s death, and was assigned the opus number of 73 at that point.

GRANADOS: DOS MARCHAS MILITARES FOR TWO PIANOS Composer and pianist Enrique Granados was born in Lérida, Spain, in 1867. After his early education with teacher Joan Pujol and time at the Paris Conservatoire, Granados formed classical concert societies and his own school, the Academia Granados, in Barcelona.

He was also a frequent recitalist, performing popular works as well as his own compositions. It was these performances that brought him more recognition throughout Spain the early 1900’s and eventually brought him to Europe and North America. Sadly, his emerging popularity was cut short by his death in 1916, and today he is most known in his native region of Catalonia.

Written for King Alfonso XIII of Spain, Dos Marchas Militares is one of Granados’ few compositions that made it to publication. Rather than evoking a rigid, military mood like the title implies, these pieces are light-hearted and portray an effervescence likely inspired by Granados’ youthful experiences performing in Barcelona cafes and clubs. Although brief, the marches expertly showcase Granados’ love of melody and natural spontaneity.

—Siri Bloom ADAMS: ROLL OVER BEETHOVEN “You know my temperature’s risin’ and the jukebox blows a fuse.” Chuck Berry’s “heart beatin’ rhythm” was a paean to the life force of rock ‘n roll, and for American composer John Adams the pulse that drives the music of Beethoven is no less hot. Adams’ two-piano work Roll Over Beethoven takes potent fragments of two late Beethoven piano works and processes them in the unique black box of his own transformative musical language. As he did once before in his recent Absolute Jest for string quartet and orchestra, Adams pays homage to the electric vitality of Beethoven’s intensely physical, expressive world while constructing his own unpredictable musical forms that alternate between moments of delicate lyricism and hard driven, virtuoso brio.

The Rondo in C major is a virtuoso piece for two pianists.

It opens with an introduction marked Allegro maestoso that alternates brilliant runs from the first pianist with quiet responses from the second. The music leaps ahead at the rondo proper and offers two virtuoso pianists a chance to display their abilities. There is quiet secondary material along the way that Chopin marks semplice, but the principal impression this music makes is of brilliance: it is full of fast runs (often set in the ringing high register of the first pianist), melodic lines passed between the two players, and full and sonorous textures. Something of Chopin’s conception of this music can be felt in his constant reminders to the pianists: con fuoco (“with fire”), marcato, con spirito. After all this brilliance, the Rondo drives a massive, resounding conclusion.

Roll Over Beethoven, a keyboard version of Adams’ 2014 Second Quartet, employs just a handful of short phrases from two late Beethoven works, the Piano Sonata Op. 110 and the Diabelli Variations, to generate an absorbing twenty-minute structure that, in Adams’ words, “takes these tiny musical fractals through a grand tour of a harmonic and rhythmic hall of mirrors.”

SCHOENFIELD: BOOGIE

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Paul Schoenfield, a professor of composition at the University of Michigan, has been particularly interested in combining quite different styles and traditions: his music can simultaneously be derived from jazz, classical music, klezmer music, popular songs (and many other styles), and these are combined with a great deal of energy and skill. Boogie is the final movement of Schoenfield’s Five Days from the Life of a Manic Depressive, a set of five pieces for piano four-hands published in 2006. This music boils over with energy across its four-minute span. The lower voice often lays down a furious ostinato as the upper contributes a wild melodic energy of its own; at other times the melodic line moves easily between the two players as Boogie rushes to an almost breathless close.

—Eric Bromberger

THE NAUGHTON SISTERS CHRISTINA AND MICHELLE NAUGHTON Christina and Michelle Naughton have been hailed by the San Francisco Examiner for their “stellar musicianship, technical mastery, and awe-inspiring artistry.” The Naughtons made their European debut at Herkulesaal in Munich, where the Sueddeutsche Zeitung proclaimed them “an outstanding piano duo.” They made their Asian debut with the Hong Kong Philharmonic, where the Sing Tao Daily said of their performance, “Joining two hearts and four hands at two grand pianos, the Naughton sisters created an electrifying and moving musical performance.”

An appearance with the Philadelphia Orchestra led the Philadelphia Inquirer to characterize their playing as “paired to perfection,” while the Saarbrücker Zeitung exclaimed “this double star could soon prove to be a supernova.” They have captivated audiences throughout the globe with the unity created by their mystical musical communication, as featured by the Wall Street Journal in their own words, “There are times I forget we are two people playing together.”

Highlights from the Naughtons’ 2015-16 season included performances presented by the New World Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic at Walt Disney Hall, at the Classic Festival and the Bonlieu Scène Nationale in Annecy, France, at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, and at the Grand Teton Music Festival.

ADmiNistrAtive stAff

Since its inception in 1954, the Society has presented the world's most acclaimed symphony orchestras, chamber ensembles, soloists and international artists for the enjoyment and appreciation of Orange County audiences. The Society's Youth Programs, one of the most extensive music education programs of its kind in the country, are offered free of charge to schools, students and parents, and each year reach more than 160,000 students from first grade through high school.

FRIENDS

The Philharmonic Society of Orange County gratefully acknowledges the following donors for their generous support of the Fund for Music during the past twelve months.

Gifts range from $60 to more than $100,000, and each member of the Philharmonic Society plays a valuable role in furthering the mission of this organization.
