From Music Director James Blachly Welcome to our PPAC season finale!

This concert celebrates the rich collaboration we share with the Band of Brothers Shakespeare Company under the direction of Laura Gordon, and our sensational soloist on the first half, Michelle Cann. You can read more about both of them in this program.

This entire year has been All About Love, and this program pairs Rachmaninoff’s romantic piano concerto with music inspired by Romeo and Juliet. What could be more All About Love than that?

As we perform, we hope that you will let this music sweep you up and carry you away, as we fill the hall with the sounds of this extraordinary orchestra.

Yours in celebration, James Blachly Music Director, Johnstown Symphony Orchestra

Welcome BACK to the JSO for the 93rd season: All About Love!

From Mark Addleman, President of the Johnstown Symphony Orchestra Board of Trustees After the long hiatus from performing live music in the concert hall, it is my pleasure to welcome back each of you to our diverse and innovative 93rd season.

The support provided by you during the global pandemic that shut down so much of our world ensured that the Johnstown Symphony Orchestra would not be one that closed our doors forever.

Rather, we are in a healthier financial position as we aim for even higher artistic quality to share with you, our audience. As a result of that support, we continue to push the boundaries of what a regional orchestra is supposed to do!

Despite being “shut-down”, we created space for the symphony to engage our ardent supporters during a period that otherwise required physical separation.

We let everyone know that we would not sit back and rest on our laurels, but find new ways to interact and provide music to our communities. The world of the internet gave us plenty of opportunity, from inviting members of our communities to perform, record, and post their interpretation of the Shaker tune “Simple Gifts”, to stimulating participants’ taste and hearing through a series of curated wine-tastings paired with the Maestro’s playlists of Lifting Spirits, to the JSO Chorus’ Hallelujah Chorus via zoom!

As far as live, in-person performances, we stepped out into your communities and collaborated with other great organizations! Our percussion ensemble braved the blistering cold of a Laurel Highlands winter day to put us all in the holiday spirit at the Gazebo in Central Park and in front of the Somerset County Courthouse. Our Principal String Quartet gave inspiring performances at the Somerset Country Club (as guests of Laurel Arts) and in the Grand Halle of Cambria City. While the brass players are usually at the back of the orchestra, we brought them out front with the JSO Brass Quartet in the Grand Halle and the JSO French horns who gave us a once-in-a-lifetime experience at the Roxbury Bandshell…. musical garden hoses! Thank you to all of the musicians and collaborators for keeping the music alive.

Your Johnstown Symphony was active, but we are far from done. We’ve performed in several repurposed industrial spaces; we’ve performed in locations in downtown and the surrounding areas; but have you ever seen an orchestra play at an airport?! We’re collaborating with one of the world’s greatest organists, Paul Jacobs; we’re re-introducing a concert geared towards families with younger children; and we’re pushing the envelope of our subscription series by adding chamber music composed by our Maestro and partnering with Johnstown’s own Band of Brothers.

None of this would be possible without our concert-goers, Leadership Sponsors, concert sponsors, season ticket holders, and all of the generous contributors to our Annual Fund. It takes a team of committed individuals to present a season as full as our 93rd, and the JSO can tout a group of incredibly talented musicians, experienced and dedicated staff, active and engaged Board of Trustees

and Advisory Board, and the Johnstown and Somerset Auxiliaries that provide support through their own innovative fundraisers. We are ALL part of the Johnstown Symphony Orchestra family. It takes a village to nurture and protect what we have and I am truly humbled that our villages continue to do so in such a meaningful way.

The JSO is back and stronger than ever – something of which we all can be proud!

Enjoy the season!

Our Vision

Our Mission is:

We will be the premier orchestra in west-central Pennsylvania and in the Laurel Highlands region. We will be a key artistic asset providing high quality musical experiences that engage audiences in the culturally diverse communities we serve, inspire young musicians, and support regional economic growth and development. We will be financially sustainable through responsible fiscal management by our trustees and staff and the monetary support of businesses, organizations and individuals.

• to perform the highest quality classical, modern and popular genres of orchestral music to which all members of our regional community can relate.

• to enhance our region’s cultural environment, quality of life and economic development efforts.

• to inform our audiences of the history and importance of playing, enjoying, and supporting the performance of orchestral music.

• to promote and support music education and orchestral performance opportunities for all youth.

• to offer reasonably priced concerts and free community performances to promote broader interest in orchestral music and the JSO. • to solicit and develop the support of the public, business leaders, philanthropic organizations and individuals to financially sustain JSO performances, programming and our endowment fund.

• to continually monitor and proactively manage and improve our financial and human resources to ensure the longterm endurance of the JSO.

James Blachly, Music Director The Frank and Sylvia Pasquerilla Chair Now entering his sixth season as Music Director of the Johnstown Symphony Orchestra, James Blachly is a Grammy®-winning conductor dedicated to enriching the concert experience by connecting with audiences in memorable and meaningful ways.

His world premiere recording of English composer Dame Ethel Smyth’s 1930 masterpiece The Prison, released on Chandos Records, won a 2021 Grammy Award and was widely acclaimed by The New York Times, The New Yorker, Gramophone, San Francisco Chronicle, Financial Times, The Guardian, and many others. This is the first-ever Grammy Award for music by Smyth, who lived from 1858-1944 and struggled her entire career to have her music judged on its merits rather than on the basis of her gender.

With the Johnstown Symphony, he conducted the orchestra in a former steel mill in a concert that was featured on Katie Couric’s America Inside Out, and in five seasons the orchestra has increased season ticket sales by 43%. With the Experiential Orchestra, he has invited audiences to dance to Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring and Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker, sit within the orchestra at Lincoln Center, and engage with Symphonie fantastique and Petrushka with circus choreography at The Muse in Brooklyn – the same troupe he invited to Johnstown in 2016.

In addition to his position with the JSO, Maestro Blachly is also Music Director of the Experiential Orchestra, and is in increasing demand as a versatile guest conductor in diverse repertoire, with engagements with the New York Philharmonic, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and will be serving as an artist in residence at Montclair State University.

In 2020, Blachly was invited to serve as the Associate Editor and Orchestral Liaison for the African Diaspora Music Project, directed by Dr. Louise Toppin. In that capacity, he has overseen the compilation of a database and website detailing more than 1,300 published works for orchestra by African diaspora composers.

Dedicated to finding new ways of empowering audiences, Blachly is in demand as a speaker on Listening as Leadership, bringing his expertise as a conductor and passion for music to Fortune 500 companies, schools, and other organizations. He has also conducted dozens of educational concerts for thousands of school children. For ten years he conducted workshops and clinics for the New York Philharmonic, served as Ensemble Director for the Baltimore Symphony’s OrchKids program, and conducted clinics and appearances throughout western Pennsylvania for the JSO. From 2010 to 2015, he performed benefit concerts of Mahler symphonies with New York freelancers to launch what is now Make Music NOLA, a thriving El Sistema-Inspired program in New Orleans.

Also active as a composer, James Blachly studied at Mannes with Robert Cuckson and privately with Charles Wuorinen and John Corigliano. His compositions have been celebrated as “vigorous and assured” by Chamber Music America, and a “splendidly crafted…tour de force” by the Miami Herald, and have been performed at The Stone, Zankel Hall, in Europe and across the U.S., in an audience for the Pope, and broadcast live on the CBC. @johnstownsymphony

Meet the Soloist Michelle Cann, piano “A compelling, sparkling virtuoso” (Boston Music Intelligencer), pianist Michelle Cann made her orchestral debut at age fourteen and has since performed as a soloist with numerous orchestras including The Philadelphia Orchestra, The Cleveland Orchestra, the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, and the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra. A champion of the music of Florence Price, Ms. Cann performed the New York City premiere of the composer’s Piano Concerto in One Movement with The Dream Unfinished Orchestra in July 2016 and the Philadelphia premiere with The Philadelphia Orchestra and Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin in February 2021, which the Philadelphia Inquirer called “exquisite.” She has also performed Price’s works for solo piano and chamber ensemble for the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Chamber Music Society of Detroit, and the New World Symphony, among other presenters.

Embracing a dual role as both performer and pedagogue, her season includes teaching residencies at the Gilmore International Keyboard Festival and the National Conference of the Music Teachers National Association. Ms. Cann regularly appears in recital and as a chamber musician throughout the U.S., China, and South Korea. Notable venues include the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., and Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the Barbican in London with members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

Ms. Cann has won top prizes in state, national, and international competitions including the International Russian Music Piano Competition, the Blount Slawson Young Artists Competition, and the Wideman International Piano Competition. In 2019 she served as the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra’s MAC Music Innovator in recognition of her role as an African-American classical musician who embodies artistry, innovation, and a commitment to education and community engagement. Ms. Cann manifests this commitment through her activities in Philadelphia and as part of touring engagements around the globe. She has served as the director of two children’s choruses in the El Sistema-inspired program Play On Philly and was among the first class of ArtistYear fellows at the Curtis Institute of Music, where she worked with community partners City Year, Teach for America, and AmeriCorps to provide arts education and access to underserved communities in Philadelphia. In 2019 she served on the faculty of the Sphinx Performance Academy during its inaugural year at the Juilliard School. Ms. Cann holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in piano performance from the Cleveland Institute of Music, where she studied with Paul Schenly and Dr. Daniel Shapiro, and an Artist’s Diploma from the Curtis Institute of Music, where she studied with Robert McDonald. Ms. Cann served as a collaborative staff pianist at the Curtis Institute of Music for several years. She joined the faculty in 2020 as the inaugural Eleanor Sokoloff Chair in Piano Studies.

PROUD SUPPORTERS OF THE JSO

HERE for EVERY NOTEWORTHY MOMENT Banking for life means supporting community partners who enrich the lives of our neighbors, friends and family.

AmeriServ is proud to be a long time supporter of the Johnstown Symphony Orchestra. Have a great season.

1-800-837-BANK AmeriServ.com

A Message from Your Annual Fund Co-Chairs: Karen Azer and Ed Sheehan The JSO brings this world-expanding power of music to all: in our concert hall, at our children’s schools, and in our town squares. When the bagpipes played at our November concert we offered our audience the opportunity to turn the pain of loss into something harmonious and healing. When 5000 people viewed our stream of Handel’s Messiah along with our sold-out audience, we brought Christmas to those who would otherwise be unable to participate because of illness, distance, and lack of transportation. When our strings played this summer at People’s Natural Gas Park, we merged our sound with that of the trains as they wound through the mountains. And when the Youth Orchestra performed the Improvised Violin Concerto with world-famous fiddler Mark O’Connor this fall, we inspired the students to imagine what is possible when we work together. We create worlds through our performances and educational opportunities that shape the lives of our communities, our audiences, and our children.

Your support allows us to offer access to high-level music experiences to everyone. Our programs for youth and adults are free or have low tuition so all can participate. Only 23% of a concert’s expense is covered by ticket sales and your contributions make the difference.

This season, we are ALL ABOUT LOVE because it is what motivates our service through music to our community, and helps chart our course as individuals, as a region, and as a country. The Johnstown Symphony Orchestra needs your help to keep uplifting, unifying, and educating our region through music.

Your business’s participation in the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program can have real impact for students throughout the region. By designating business tax credits to the Johnstown Symphony, eligible businesses can receive substantial tax credits for their contributions. These tax credits can then offset numerous state business taxes.

Apply to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to direct your tax dollars to an educational improvement organization of choice! If you work for, or have a company that does business in PA, you are eligible to apply for tax credits that you may then redirect to support the JSO. Please use the web address below to the Commonwealth’s site to see if your company qualifies for the EITC program. Consider applying for a 2-year commitment, as this yields a 90% tax credit to your business.

Details and the link to the online application can be found here. For more information, check with your accountants or log onto the PA website for EITC: https://dced.pa.gov/programs/educational-improvement-tax-credit-program-eitc/

Support the Symphony and decrease your tax burden with Qualified Charitable Distributions!

At age 72 (it was age 70½ prior to January 1, 2020), the IRS requires you to take IRA withdrawals in statutorily-mandated, annual increments known as "Required Minimum Distributions" (RMDs). What's wrong with that? RMDs are subject to ordinary income taxes and more taxable income may push you into a higher tax bracket, which can lead to adverse impacts, including effects on your Social Security income and Medicare benefits. What's more, if you don't take your RMDs, you could be subject to a 50% penalty on the amount that wasn't withdrawn.

Thankfully, for charitably-minded retirees with traditional IRAs, there is a tax-relief strategy available: the Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). The QCD gifting option allows you, starting at age 72, to instruct your IRA administrator to direct IRA distributions—up to $100,000 per year—to a qualified 501(c)(3) charity. Because the IRA income goes directly to the JSO, you do not report the QCD as taxable income and do not owe any taxes on the QCD, which may be particularly beneficial to you if you are forced to take RMDs and don't need the extra money. In addition to avoiding taxable income, your IRA distribution can be put to good use by your favorite qualified charity. It's truly a win-win option.

If you regularly support charities, you may find that the QCD gift option provides you with greater tax savings than cash donations. Why? Reducing your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) generally provides a greater tax benefit than claiming a tax deduction because AGI is used in several calculations, such as determining the taxable portion of your Social Security benefits or what deductions and credits you qualify for receiving.

A QCD allows you to receive a tax benefit from your charitable contribution even if you do not itemize your deductions, because the QCD is excluded from your taxable income.

Noteworthy Photos and cell phones You may take pictures up until the downbeat of the performance. During the concert, unauthorized photographs (flash, non-flash, video, digital, etc.) and recording of any kind are strictly prohibited. We ask that you silence any electronic devices before the concert, and the light from a cell phone screen can be distracting to fellow patrons. We invite you to take this opportunity to unplug and let the music wash over you while the musicians play.

Aside from that, we love it when our audience posts selfies and photos of the great time you’re having at our concerts. When you do, be sure to tag us on Facebook (@johnstownsymphony) and Instagram (@jtownsymphony1)!

Applau=se We acknowledge the tradition of waiting to applaud until the end of the piece, but you will never be judged for clapping in the “wrong place.” Applause is our favorite thing!

Go for it.

Dress code You may have noticed that there really isn’t one here at JSO concerts. Come as you are.

Coat Check The coat check room is located on the first level, the first door on the left as one heads down the gallery hall way. The Arts Center and the JSO are not responsible for items left in this area.

Our Musicians The musicians of the JSO love getting to know you. Those playing in the lobby prior to the concert are there because they want to chat with you. Engage them if you have questions, or feel free to introduce yourself after the concert!

Late Seating Patrons who arrive late may be seated in seats other than those reserved by ushering staff. In consideration of fellow audience members and the artists, those who must leave are asked to do so between works. Please note that re-entry is at the discretion of the house management.

Emergencies In the unlikely event of an emergency, please walk to the nearest exit. Follow the instructions of the house management staff and Ambassadors.
