THE MADISON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA THANKS ITS SEASON PARTNERS

DEMAIN | CONDUCTOR

In his 27th season as music director of the Madison Symphony Orchestra (MSO), Grammy and Tony Award-winning conductor John DeMain is noted for his dynamic performances on concert and opera stages throughout the world. American composer Jake Heggie assessed the conductor’s broad appeal, saying, “There’s no one like John DeMain. In my opinion, he’s one of the top conductors in the world.”

During his over two decades in Madison as the MSO music director, DeMain has consistently raised the quality of the orchestra by introducing blind auditions and continuously expanding the repertoire to encompass ever more challenging and virtuosic works, including the highly-acclaimed

performances of the complete symphonies of Gustav Mahler. DeMain also oversaw the move into the world-class Overture Hall and expanded the subscription season to triple performances.

His active conducting schedule has taken him to the stages of the National Symphony, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, the symphonies of Seattle, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Columbus, Houston, San Antonio, Long Beach, and Jacksonville, along with the Pacific Symphony, Boston Pops, Aspen Chamber Orchestra, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, London Sinfonietta, Orchestra of Seville, the Leipzig MDR Sinfonieorchester, and Mexico’s Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional.

JOHN

Prior engagements include visiting San Francisco Opera as guest conductor for General Director David Gockley’s farewell gala, the Glimmerglass Festival in New York to conduct Sweeney Todd, Northwestern University to conduct Carlisle Floyd’s Susannah, and the Washington National Opera at the Kennedy Center in D.C. to conduct Kurt Weill’s Lost in the Stars. In 2019, he conducted the world premiere of Blue at the Glimmerglass Festival to critical acclaim — he “drew a vibrant performance from an orchestra of nearly 50 players; the cast was superb.” (The New York Times)

DeMain also serves as artistic director for Madison Opera and in their 2021–2022 season will conduct Lucia di Lammermoor, S he Loves Me, and Orpheus in the Underworld. He has been a regular guest conductor with Washington National Opera at the Kennedy Center, New York City Opera, Michigan Opera Theatre, Los Angeles Opera, Seattle Opera, San Francisco Opera, Virginia Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, the Glimmerglass Festival in upstate New York, Aspen Music Festival, Portland Opera, and Mexico’s National Opera.

During his distinguished 17-year tenure with Houston Grand Opera, DeMain led a historymaking production of Porgy and Bess, winning a Grammy Award, Tony Award, and France’s Grand Prix du Disque for the RCA recording. In spring 2014, the San Francisco Opera released an HD DVD of their most recent production of Porgy and Bess, conducted by John DeMain.

DeMain began his career as a pianist and conductor in his native Youngstown, Ohio. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at The Juilliard School and made a highly acclaimed debut with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. DeMain was the second recipient of the Julius Rudel Award at New York City Opera and one of the first six conductors to receive the Exxon/National Endowment for the Arts Conductor Fellowship for his work with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra.

DeMain holds honorary degrees from the University of Nebraska and Edgewood College and he is a Fellow of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters. He resides in Madison and his daughter, Jennifer, is a UW–Madison graduate.

INSPIRE

MUSIC CAN US ALL

We at the Madison Symphony Orchestra believe that music is for everyone. Music enriches our lives with beauty, inspiration and comfort. It is an especially precious resource for those in need — the child who has a di cult time in school or at home — the elderly woman living in a nursing home who cannot care for herself or remember where she is. We bring music into people’s lives where they are touched deeply or even transformed.

From very young children and families, to students, to the elderly and those with health challenges, we share music with our diverse community through 17 Education and Community Engagement Programs, 5 of which are highlighted here. While over 25,000 individuals are reached annually, there are still more people who can benefit from experiencing live music. It is our goal to continue to expand the impact of our programs and connect with even more people each year. With your help, we can realize this goal. We invite you to learn more about our free and low-cost programs and how you can support this powerful work. Join us on our journey to enrich, engage, and inspire our community through music.

PROGRAM NOTES

JANUARY 21-22-23, 2022

Program Notes by J. Michael Allsen

This midwinter program opens with a bit of liveliness and fun from Dmitri Kabalevsky, the overture to his opera Colas Breugnon. We then welcome violinist Kelly Hall-Tompkins, who is making her first appearance with the Madison Symphony Orchestra. She is featured in the eclectic 2015 Concerto in D by Wynton Marsalis. We close with the familiar and powerful Organ Symphony by Saint-Saëns, a showpiece for the orchestra and for organist Greg Zelek and the Overture Concert Organ.

The 1938 opera Colas Breugnon tells the story of a peasant looking back on a mischievous and enjoyable life. The opera’s bubbly overture is a musical portrait of the irrepressible main character, filled with good humor and country dancing.

Dmitri Kabalevsky Born: December 30, 1904, St. Petersburg, Russia.

Died: February 14, 1987, Moscow, Russia.

Colas Breugnon Overture, Op. 24 Composed: 1936-1938.

Premiere: The opera Colas Breugnon was first produced in Leningrad (St. Petersburg) on February 22, 1938.

Previous MSO Performance: 1987. Duration: 5:00. Background

Dmitri Kabalevsky was one of the leading composers of the old Soviet Union, and worked comfortably for his entire career in the restrictive atmosphere of Soviet music. Kabalevsky’s musical style was never even remotely “modernistn” and perfectly suited the Soviet ideal that music should be uplifting and in service of the people. A loyal member of the Communist Party, he enthusiastically supported Soviet musical policies, and held several important political positions and editorships. Interested in the cause of education, Kabalevsky also helped to formulate the Soviet music education system, writing dozens of works for children’s choir, and later in his career, influential books on teaching music. As a composer, he was also known for his six operas— rarely produced today, but nearly all were very successful in the Soviet Union. His first opera, Colas Breugnon, was based upon a 1919 novel by Romaine Rolland written in the form of reminiscences of a 16th-century Burgundian peasant, looking back on a life well-lived, and mostly enjoyed. Rolland granted Kabalevsky the

rights to use the novel, but was disappointed by how it was turned into a libretto. Kabalevsy worked over a span of three decades revising the opera, eventually premiering a new version in 1970 that won him the prestigious Lenin Prize, though its lively 1938 overture remained unchanged.

What You’ll Hear

Though the opera is seldom heard in the west, the brief Colas Breugnon Overture has long been a favorite concert-opener. It is a musical portrait of the opera’s irrepressible main character, beginning with a flourish and launching immediately into a manic, strongly-accented main theme. Kabalevsky introduces a second, more ponderous idea, and a slightly more serious central section. Towards the end, there is a wry little country dance episode before the brilliant coda.

This is our first performance of music by Wynton Marsalis. His violin concerto, completed in 2015, is both a virtuoso showpiece and a work that displays an amazingly eclectic range of musical influences across its four movements.

Wynton Marsalis

Born: October 18, 1961, New Orleans, Louisiana

Concerto in D for Violin and Orchestra Composed: 2014-15.

Premiere: November 6, 2015, in Barbican Hall, London, with violinist Nicola Benedetti and the London Symphony Orchestra, James Ga gan, conductor.

Previous MSO Performances: This is our first performance of the work.

Duration: 44:00. Background

Duke Ellington, one of America’s great 20th-century musicians, was often frustrated when the music that he was creating was pigeonholed as “Jazz”— Ellington was fond of saying that good music and good musicians, whatever the style, were “beyond category.” This may be the perfect description of Wynton Marsalis, one of America’s great 21st-century musicians. Marsalis was born into a musical family in New Orleans and began playing trumpet as young child—he apparently received his first trumpet at age six as a gift from the great New Orleans trumpeter Al Hirt. As a kid, he began performing in church and with traditional “second line” street bands, but also appeared as a soloist with the New Orleans Philharmonic at age 14. As a teenager, he studied at Tanglewood and the Juilliard School. At 19, Marsalis burst onto the nationwide Jazz scene as a member of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers...though just a year later, he also won a Grammy Award for his recording of trumpet concertos by Haydn,

REGINALD MOBLEY & GREG ZELEK

Highly sought after for baroque, classical, and modern repertoire, Countertenor Reginald Mobley’s voice will soar through Overture Hall with our program ranging from baroque works to gospel spirituals. In a concert that includes Florence Price’s jazzy Suite for Organ, as well as a variety of gospel arrangements, Mr. Mobley and I will explore the limitless possibilities of pairing the organ and voice. This unique program requires creativity beyond our standard scope to weave together di erent musical genres, demonstrating striking similarities and beautiful contrasts. Greg Zelek, Principal Organist and Curator of the Overture Concert Organ

Hummel, and Leopold Mozart.

Over the course of a long career he has continued to perform, touring with his own band, and beginning a particularly close partnership with New York’s Lincoln Center in 1987. Since 1996, Marsalis has served as the director of Jazz at Lincoln Center. Inspired in part by the role Art Blakey played as a mentor, Marsalis has fostered the careers of many younger musicians. He has also become a prominent media figure. Beginning with his 1995 PBS series Marsalis on Music and his prominent role as an interviewee in the huge Ken Burns documentary Jazz (2001), he has frequently appeared as a commentator on music and a wide range of social issues.

In the past 25 years, Marsalis has also emerged as a leading American composer. Perhaps the most striking thing about his compositions is the vast range of musical styles he is able to channel. Marsalis as a performer has mastery of the Western Classical tradition, but also the Blues and Jazz—and Jazz in a wide spectrum of styles, from Ragtime and early New Orleans styles through Bebop. He brings all of these to bear at various points in his compositions, but he is also able to access a huge variety of American roots music styles, African American traditions, and African traditional music.

Marsalis composed his Concerto in D for the Scottish violinist Nicola Benedetti. According to the composer: “Nicky asked

me to ‘invite a diverse world of people into the experience of this piece.’” Successfully premiered by Benedetti in 2015, it was the result of close collaboration between composer and soloist. Benedetti later performed the work widely on tour, and recorded it with the Philadelphia Orchestra in 2019. Kelly Hall-Tompkins, who performs the work here, is one of a few violinists who have since taken up the formidable challenge of this concerto.

What You’ll Hear

Marsalis has explained the concerto as a whole as a representation of a dream, with each of its four movements “revealing a di erent aspect of [the] dream, which becomes reality through the public storytelling that is virtuosic performance.” He describes the opening movement, Rhapsody, as a “complex dream that becomes a nightmare, progresses into peacefulness and dissolves into ancestral memory.” Beginning with a lush, bluesy melody for the solo violin, it progresses freely though a series of ideas: first an easygoing episode with a Caribbean feel, and a middle section that is dominated by harsh orchestral textures and disjointed answers by the soloist. The mood eventually returns to the opening calm, though the movement ends with a brief Celtic dance that serves as a hint what is to come at the end.

According to the composer, the Rondo Burlesque is “a syncopated, New Orleans jazz, calliope, circus

clown, African gumbo, Mardi Gras party in odd meters.” Like a good pot of gumbo, this movement blends a huge range of flavors: furiously aggressive music, and a series of rhythmic grooves set up by the orchestra, and frequent flashes of humor. The second half of this movement is given almost entirely to the soloist. The solo violin line explores a series of ideas, sometimes in combination with percussion, until finally moving directly into the more relaxed Blues. Marsalis describes this movement as a “progression of flirtation, courtship, intimacy, sermonizing, final loss and abject loneliness that is out there to claim us all.” Filled with “blue notes” and working into a relaxed groove, this music is led by a soulful solo part throughout. In the second half of the movement violin begins a kind of call-and-response “sermon,” urged on by shouts and whoops from the orchestra, before a quiet closing passage.

The concerto ends with a wild Hootenanny. Marsalis calls this “a raucous, stomping and whimsical barnyard throw-down. [The soloist] excites us with all types of virtuosic chicanery and gets us intoxicated with revelry and then… goes on down the Good King’s highway to other places yet to be seen or even foretold.” Beginning with claps and foot stomps, it explodes into a hoedown of Celticand American-style fiddling. At the end, the solo line returns to the quirky dance tune introduced at the end of the first movement,

this melody eventually fading away into nothing.

The grand Symphony No. 3 of Saint-Saëns has clearly earned its place as the most popular of all works for organ and orchestra. Over the course of two extended movements, it works its way gradually from a nervous and dark opening to a triumphant conclusion.

Camille Saint-Saëns

Born: October 9, 1835, Paris, France.

Died: December 16, 1921, Algiers, Algeria.

Symphony No. 3 in C Minor, Op. 78 (“Organ”) Composed: 1886.

Premiere: Saint-Saëns conducted the premiere in London, at St. James’s Hall, on May 19, 1886.

Previous MSO Performances: 1958, 2004, and 2010.

Duration: 36:00.

Background

By the late 1880s, Saint-Saëns was a thoroughly respected figure in French music: a prolific composer, journalist, pianist, and longtime organist at the Madleine church in Paris. However, his music was being played less and less often in his homeland, in favor of less conservative composers. While his reputation as a composer was declining in France, both SaintSaëns and his music remained wildly popular in England and America. Many of the large-

scale pieces he wrote in the last forty years of his long career were commissioned by English and American ensembles. (His very last completed orchestral work, for example, was a concert overture, Hail! California.) The “Organ” symphony was written for the London Philharmonic Society. Its premiere was a huge success, and it remains the most popular of his three published symphonies, and the single most popular work for the combination of organ and orchestra.

Saint-Saëns was always something of a conservative, writing works along Classical lines, but the Symphony No. 3 has several innovations, above and beyond its unusual orchestration. (In addition to the organ part, there is also a prominent role for piano, four hands.) Though it has the usual four-movement outlines of a classical symphony, Saint-Saëns has absorbed those sections into two large movements: the first combining a traditional, though incomplete sonata-form first movement and slow movement, and the second bringing together a kind of scherzo and majestic finale. The symphony is also highly unified, with close connections among its themes, and hints of the grand closing theme sprinkled throughout the earlier sections. It was published with a dedication to one of the greatest Romantic innovators, Franz Liszt. SaintSaëns met Liszt for the first

time when he was a 10-year-old prodigy, and Liszt was already the preeminent pianist in Europe. They remained friends for forty years, until Liszt’s death just a few months after the symphony’s first performance.

What You’ll Hear

After a short and dark Adagio introduction, the unsettled main theme enters (Allegro). There is a clear reference in this nervous melody to the Diesirae. This chant melody from the Latin funeral Mass had famously appeared some 56 years earlier in the Symphonie Fantastique of Hector Berlioz. However, where Berlioz quoted the melody quite clearly, as a prelude to his hellish Witches’ Sabbath, Saint-Saëns used it more subtly, to create a sense of foreboding. The second theme is actually taken from the introduction. Both ideas are developed and combined, but where we expect a full recapitulation, the mood turns calmer, and the organ enters for the first time, as a quiet background to a lovely Romantic melody (Poco adagio) presented in a series of gentle variations. There is a brief moment of darkness when the main Allegro theme returns, but serenity wins out in the end, until a rather mysterious closing passage.

The second movement (Allegro moderato) begins with astringent music for strings and timpani, which is developed in intense counterpoint. The Presto that follows is in true scherzo style, with

quick woodwind and string lines above rolling piano figures. This music is developed thoroughly, and there is a repeat of the second movement’s opening theme. The scherzo returns briefly in combination with a solemn low brass theme. Then the organ, silent or in a supportive role so far in the symphony, suddenly takes control: a colossal C Major chord that sets up a transition to the final section. The majestic theme that closes the piece is a triumphant, transformed version of the dark Allegro melody

of the first movement. This is developed in a great fugal finale that closes in joyous fury. SaintSaëns reportedly said of this ending: “I have given everything that I had to give; what I have done here I shall never do again.”

MUSIC BY JERRY BOCK LYRICS BY SHELDON HARNICK

STARRING

FEBRUARY 18 & 20, 2022 CAPITOL THEATER

Another day in the local perfume shop, circa 1930. Two clerks hate each other, not knowing that they are secret pen pals on their way to falling in love. Two other clerks are having an a air, but one of them is not playing by the rules. As fall gives way to winter, will love prevail?

With its charming score, witty lyrics, and sophisticated story, She Loves Me is the perfect romantic comedy. Brighten up winter with some happily-ever-a er!

Love can’t hide behind paper and pen.

GIL SHAHAM PLAYS THE

BEETHOVEN VIOLIN CONCERTO

The first piece of this varied program, Rachmanino ’s evocative and powerful score depicts Arnold Bocklin’s famous painting of an oarsman rowing a whiteclad figure across a dark expanse of water to the mysterious Isle of the Dead. The mood lightens when the Háry János Suite from Kodály’s comic Hungarian folk opera radiates exotic exuberance. Then the renowned Gil Shaham gives the crowning performance of the program when he breathes life and love into the Beethoven Violin Concerto.

John DeMain, Conductor Gil Shaham, Violin Rachmanino , Isle of the Dead Kodály, Háry János Suite Beethoven, Violin Concerto in D major

Rick Mackie RETIREMENT

On June 30, the Madison Symphony Orchestra bade farewell to its Executive Director of 22 years, Rick Mackie. During his time with the Symphony, Rick oversaw the orchestra’s move into Overture Hall and the installation of the Overture Concert Organ He expanded the Symphony’s performance schedule from two-concert weekends to triples .

Rick is a program builder and was instrumental in the creation, establishment, enhancement or inclusion of programs such as MSO’s awardwinning HeartStrings® arts-in-healthcare community engagement program, “ The Final Forte ” statewide broadcast partnerships with PBS Wisconsin and WPR, Carnegie Hall’s LinkUp education program and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s “ BeyondtheScore® ” multi-media series. Rick successfully led the organization through the recession of 2008, has built and mentored a strong team of arts administrators, and graciously delayed his retirement to guide the organization through the COVID-19 pandemic.

The MSO Board of Directors established the Richard H. Mackie Catalyst Fund as the repository for all gifts made in Rick’s honor. The Fund will support the MSO’s future Education & Community Engagement Programs and will provide catalyst funding for new initiatives to expand the Symphony’s reach as the organization approaches its 100th anniversary season in 2025-2026.

As of January 10, 2022, 128 donors have contributed $101,600 to the Catalyst Fund. Contributions will continue to be accepted. To add your contribution, mail a check payable to Madison Symphony Orchestra, 222 W Washington Ave Ste 460, Madison, WI 53703, or donate online at madisonsymphony.org/mackie .

MISSA SOLEMNIS

Yes, Mozart was his inspiration, but Haydn was Beethoven’s teacher. Concertmaster Naha Greenholtz performs the Violin Concerto in G major. A great work from the height of Beethoven’s composing career, the monumental Missa Solemnis is one of his supreme achievements and one of the most significant Latin Mass settings ever penned.

The sublime upsurge of self-renewing nature … the beating pulse of Spring … an outpouring of rhythm … the Dance of the Earth. –

BEYOND THE SCORE®: STRAVINSKY, THE RITE OF SPRING

A multimedia presentation starring American Players Theatre actors, visual projections and live musical examples with the entire work performed in the second half!

Transforming simple ancient folk music from Russia and Lithuania into a perfect storm of rhythm, harmony and melodies that were unlike any heard before its time, Stravinsky created the biggest scandal in the history of music in 1911. The Rite of Spring put him at the very forefront of the avantgarde and spread his name to the corners of the world. Experience this artistic masterpiece by discovering the history behind the groundbreaking composition during the first half of the presentation, then listen with a deeper understanding of the work from start to finish following intermission.

Beyond the Score® is a production of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Gerard McBurney, Creative Director for Beyond the Score®
