A Big Idea A Bold Promise
We will send all eligible urban youth to college or trade school on a scholarship. We will fix urban schools so that kids are prepared for success and meaning in life. We will invest in our region’s workforce by preparing the next generation of workers. We will get this work done by raising $250 million.
Early Success
We have sent more than 4,000 kids to college or trade school, and they are doing remarkably well. We have begun to see the stabilization and renewal of our urban schools and neighborhoods. We have graduated many students and hundreds of them have already been hired by our region’s top employers. We have raised $160 million because of our community’s generosity and vision.
A Critical Moment
Our region’s leaders have stepped up to serve as Honorary Co-Chairs of The Pittsburgh Promise campaign to raise the final $90 million. Heather Bresch Mylan

LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN
Overture to Fidelio, Opus 72c (1814)
about the composer
Born 16 June 1770, Bonn; Died 26 March 1827, Vienna premiere of work
Vienna, 25 May 1814; Kärntnertor Theater; Ludwig van Beethoven, Conductor PSO PREMIERE
The decade (1804-1814) that Beethoven devoted to his only opera, Fidelio, was an unprecedented amount of time to spend perfecting such a work during the early 19th century. Given the same ten years, Rossini dispensed 31 (!) operas between 1810 and 1820, and Donizetti cranked out 35 (!!) specimens of the genre from 1827 to 1837. Even Mozart launched seven operas during his decade in Vienna. For Beethoven, however, Fidelio was more than just a mere theatrical diversion — it was his philosophy set to music. This story of the triumph of justice over tyranny and love over inhumanity was a document of his faith. To present such grandiose beliefs in a work that would not fully serve them was unthinkable, and so Beethoven hammered and rewrote and changed until he was satisfied.

The most visible remnants of Beethoven’s extensive revisions are the quartet of overtures he composed for Fidelio. The first version of the opera, written between January 1804 and early autumn 1805, was initially titled Leonore after the heroine, who courageously rescues her husband from his wrongful incarceration. For that production, Beethoven wrote the Overture in C major now known as the Leonore No. 1, utilizing themes from the opera. The composer’s friend and early biographer Anton Schindler recorded that Beethoven rejected this first attempt after hearing it privately performed at Prince Lichnowsky’s palace before the premiere. (Another theory, supported by recent detailed examination of the paper on which the sketches for the piece were made, holds that this work was written in 1806-1807 for a projected performance of the opera in Prague that never took place, thus making Leonore No. 1 the third of the Fidelio overtures.) Beethoven then composed a second C major overture, Leonore No. 2, and that piece was used at the first performance, on November 20, 1805. (The management of Vienna’s Theater-an-der-Wien, site of the premiere, insisted on changing the opera’s name from Leonore to Fidelio to avoid confusion with Ferdinand Paër’s Leonore.) The opera foundered. Not only was the audience, largely populated by French officers of Napoleon’s army, which had invaded Vienna exactly one week earlier, unsympathetic, but there were also problems with Fidelio’s dramatic structure. Beethoven was encouraged by his aristocratic supporters to rework the opera and present it again. That second version, for which the magnificent Leonore Overture No. 3 was written, was presented in Vienna on March 29, 1806, but met with only slightly more acclaim than its forerunner.
In 1814, some members of the Court Theater approached Beethoven, by then Europe’s most famous composer, about reviving Fidelio. The idealistic subject of the opera had never been far from his thoughts, and he agreed to the project. The libretto was revised yet again, and Beethoven rewrote all the numbers in the opera and changed their order to enhance the work’s dramatic impact. The new Fidelio Overture, the fourth he composed for his opera, was among the revisions. The Fidelio Overture, whose themes do not derive from the opera, opens with an introduction comprising two contrasting strains of music: a rousing fanfare for the full orchestra and a darkly colored harmonic passage in slow tempo without a definable theme. The work’s compact sonata form begins with the fast tempo and the announcement by the solo horn of the main theme, based on the fanfare motive from the introduction. The fleet second theme is presented quietly by the strings following an energetic climax. The tiny central section, based on the fanfare motive, is less a true development than a transition to the recapitulation of the themes. A rousing coda, separated from the body of the Overture by a return of the slow harmonies of the introduction, brings this noble work to a stirring close.

Pittsburgh native David Stock, Professor Emeritus at Duquesne University, received his baccalaureate in trumpet and composition and an advanced degree in composition from Carnegie Mellon University and a master’s degree in composition from Brandeis. Stock has been Composer-in-Residence with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Seattle Symphony and Pittsburgh Youth Symphony, and is Conductor Laureate of the Pittsburgh New Music Ensemble, which he founded in 1976 and led until his retirement from that position in 1999. He has appeared as guest conductor across America, including engagements with the major orchestras of Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Seattle and Los Angeles, as well as in Australia, Poland, Mexico and China. He has served as a panelist for the National Endowment for the Arts and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, and as a host of Da Capo, a weekly series on WQED-FM in Pittsburgh; his television credits include the theme music for the award-winning PBS series Kennedy Center Tonight. Stock’s compositions, which have been performed throughout the United States and in Europe, Turkey, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, China, Uzbekistan and Korea, include six symphonies, ten string quartets, a dozen concertos, much chamber, solo and orchestral

music, and scores for dance, theater, television and film. Among his many distinctions are a Guggenheim Fellowship, five Fellowship Grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, five Fellowships from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, and grants and commissions from the Ella Lyman Cabot Trust, Paderewski Fund for Composers, Koussevitzky Music Foundation, Barlow Endowment, Boston Musica Viva, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Cincinnati Symphony, Seattle Symphony, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, Erie Philharmonic, clarinetist Richard Stoltzman, Duquesne University and many other ensembles and organizations; in November 1992, he was selected by the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust to receive the “Creative Achievement Award for Outstanding Established Artist.” Stock wrote of his Sixth Symphony (2012), commissioned by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and dedicated to Maestro Manfred Honeck. “My Third Symphony (‘Tikkun Olam’) and my Cello Concerto both feature liturgical and secular Jewish themes. In both works, I knew before starting what these connections and quotations would be: in the Cello Concerto, the soloist ‘sings’ in the voice of a cantor; in the Third Symphony, I was asked by one of the music directors who commissioned it to celebrate the Millennium, and ‘Healing of the World’ [‘Tikkun Olam’], the ushering in of the Messianic Era, seemed a Jewish response to that request. “With the Sixth symphony, however, I had no idea ahead of time that the final movement would revisit the world of the Synagogue, and I was quite surprised when it unfolded that way! But I’ve always advised my students to let the composition tell its composer where it wants to go, so I followed my own advice! Some of the quotations include: the prayer before the reading from the Torah; Shema Yisrael, the central prayer of a Jewish service (‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord is One’); and Kadosh, Kadosh (‘Holy, Holy’). “The original plan for the PSO commission was that the Sixth Symphony would celebrate my 75th Birthday, on June 3rd, 2014, but I’m thrilled that it will instead begin the 2013-2014 season of this great orchestra, inspiration of my youth.”

About thirty miles south of Munich, in the foothills of the Bavarian Alps, is the abbey of Benediktbeuren. In 1803, a 13th-century codex was discovered among its holdings that contains some 200 secular poems which give a vivid, earthy portrait of Medieval life. Many of these poems, attacking the defects of the Church, satirizing contemporary manners and morals, criticizing the omnipotence of money, and praising the sensual joys of food, drink and physical love, were written by an amorphous band known as “Goliards.” These wandering scholars and ecclesiastics, who were often esteemed teachers and recipients of courtly patronage, filled their worldly verses with images of self-indulgence that were probably as much literary convention as biographical fact. The language they used was a heady mixture of Latin, old German and old French. Some paleographic musical notation appended to a few of the poems indicates that they were sung, but it is today so obscure as to be indecipherable. This manuscript was published in 1847 by Johann Andreas Schmeller under the title, Carmina Burana (“Songs of Beuren”), “carmina” being the plural of the Latin word for song, “carmen.”

Carl Orff encountered these lusty lyrics for the first time in the 1930s, and he was immediately struck by their theatrical potential. Like Aaron Copland and Virgil Thomson in the United States, Orff at that time was searching for a simpler, more direct musical expression that could immediately affect listeners. Orff’s view, however, was more Teutonically philosophical than that of the Americans, who were seeking a music for the common man, one related to the everyday world. Orff sought to create a musical idiom that would serve as a means of drawing listeners away from their daily experiences and closer to the realization of oneness with the universe. In the words of the composer’s biographer Andreas Liess, “Orff’s spiritual form is molded by the superimposition of a high intellect on a primitive creative instinct,” thus establishing a tension between the rational (intellect) and the irrational (instinct). The artistic presentation of the deep-seated psychological self to the thinking person allows an exploration of the regions of being that have been overlaid by accumulated layers of civilization. Orff chose 24 poems from the Carmina Burana to include in his work. Since the 13th-century music for them was unknown, all of

their settings are original with him. The work is disposed in three large sections with prologue and epilogue. The three principal divisions — Primo Vere (“Springtime”), In Taberna (“In the Tavern”) and Cour d’Amours (“Court of Love”) — sing the libidinous songs of youth, joy and love. However, the prologue and epilogue (using the same verses and music) that frame these pleasurable accounts warn against unbridled enjoyment. “The wheel of fortune turns; dishonored I fall from grace and another is raised on high,” caution the words of Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi (“Fortune, Empress of the World”), the chorus that stands like pillars of eternal verity at the entrance and exit of this Medieval world. They are the ancient poet’s reminder that mortality is the human lot, that the turning of the same Wheel of Fortune that brings sensual pleasure may also grind that joy to dust. It is this bald juxtaposition of antitheses — the most rustic human pleasures with the sternest of cosmic admonitions — coupled with Orff’s elemental musical idiom that gives Carmina Burana its dynamic theatricality. The work opens with the chorus Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi, depicting the terrible revolution of the Wheel of Fate through a powerful repeated rhythmic figure that grows inexorably to a stunning climax. After a brief morality tale (Fortune plango vulnera — “I lament the wounds that fortune deals”), the Springtime section begins. Its songs and dances are filled with the sylvan brightness and optimistic expectancy appropriate to the annual rebirth of the earth and the spirit. The next section, In Taberna (“In the Tavern”), is given over wholly to the men’s voices. Along with a hearty drinking song are heard two satirical stories: Olim lacus colueram (“Once in lakes I made my home”) — one of the most fiendishly difficult pieces in the tenor repertory — and Ego sum abbas Cucaniensis (“I am the abbot of Cucany”). The third division, Cour d’Amours (“Court of Love”), leaves far behind the rowdy revels of the tavern to enter a refined, seductive world of sensual pleasure. The music is limpid, gentle and enticing, and marks the first appearance of the soprano soloist. The lovers’ urgent entreaties grow in ardor, with insistent encouragement from the chorus, until submission is won in the most rapturous moment in the score, Dulcissime (“Sweetest Boy”). The grand paean to the loving couple (Blanzifor et Helena) is cut short by the intervention of imperious fate, as the opening chorus (Fortuna), like the turning of the great wheel, comes around once again to close this mighty work.

Carmina Burana FORTUNA IMPERATRIX MUNDI (Fortune, Empress of the World) 1. O fortuna Chorus O fortuna, velut luna statu variabilis, semper crescis aut decrescis; vita detestabilis nunc obdurat et tunc curat ludo mentis aciem, egestatem, potestatem dissolvit ut glaciem.
O fortune! Like the moon everchanging, rising first then declining; hateful life treats us badly then with kindness, making sport with our desires, causing power and poverty alike to melt like ice.
Sors immanis et inanis, rota tu volubilis, status malus, vana salus semper dissolubilis, obumbrata et velata michi quoque niteris; nunc per ludum dorsum nudum tui sceleris.
Dread destiny and empty fate, an ever turning wheel, who make adversity and fickle health alike turn to nothing, in the dark and secretly you work against me; how through your trickery my naked fero backis turned to you unarmed.
Sors salutis et virtutis michi nunc contraria, est affectus et defectus semper in angaria. Hac in hora sine mora corde pulsum tangite; quod per sortem sternit fortem, mecum omnes plangite!
Good fortune and strength now are turned from me, Affection and defeat are always on duty. Come now, pluck the strings without delay; and since by fate the strong are overthrown, weep ye all with me.
2. Fortune plango vulnera Chorus Fortune plango vulnera stillantibus ocellis, quod sua michi munera subtrahit rebellis.
18
I lament the wounds that fortune deals with tear-filled eyes, for returning to the attack she takes her gifts from me.
Verum est, quod legitur fronte capillata, sed plerumque sequitur occasio calvata.
It is true as they say, the well-thatched pate may soonest lose its hair.
In fortune solio sederam elatus, prosperitatis vario flore coronatus;
Once on fortune’s throne I sat exalted, crowned with a wreathof prosperity’s flowers.
quicquid enim florui felix et beatus, nunc a summo corrui gloria privatus.
But from my happy, flower-decked paradise I was struck down and stripped of all my glory.
Fortune rota volvitur: descendo minoratus; alter in altum tollitur; nimis exaltatus rex sedet in vertice — caveat ruinam! Nam sub axe legimus Hecubam reginam.
The wheel of fortune turns; dishonored I fall from grace and another is raised on high. Raised to over-dizzy heights of power the king sits in majesty — but let him beware of his downfall! For ’neath the axle of fortune’s wheel behold Queen Hecuba.
I. PRIMO VERE (Springtime) 3. Veris leta facies Small Chorus Veris leta facies mundo propinatur, hiemalis acies victa iam fugatur, in vestitu vario Flora principatur, nemorum dulcisono que canto celebratur.
The joyous face of spring is presented to the world; winter’s army is conquered and put to flight. In colorful dress Flora is arrayed, and the woods are sweet with birdsong in her praise.
Flore fusus gremio Phebus novo more risum dat, hoc vario iam stipatur flore.
Reclining in Flora’s lap Phoebus again laughs merrily, covered with manycolored flowers.
Zephyrus nectareo spirans in odore; certatim pro bravio curramus in amore.
Zephyr breathes around the scented fragrance; eagerly striving for the prize, let us compete in love.
Cytharizat cantico dulcis Philomena, flore rident vario prata iam serena; salit cetus avium silve per amena, chorus promit virginum iam gaudia millena.
Trilling her song sweet Philomel is heard, and smiling with flowers the peaceful meadows lie; a flock of wild birds rises from the woods; the chorus of maidens brings a thousand joys.
4. Omnia sol temperat Baritone Omnia sol temperat purus et subtilis, novo mundo reserat faciem Aprilis; ad amorem properat animus herilis, et iocundis imperat deus puerilis.
All things are tempered by the sun so pure and fine. In a new world are revealed the beauties of April; to thoughts of love the mind of man is turned, and in pleasure’s haunts the youthful God holds sway.
Rerum tanta novitas in solemni vere et veris auctoritas iubet nos gaudere; vias prebet solitas, et in tuo vere fides est et probitas tuum retinere.
Nature’s great renewal in solemn spring and spring’s example bid us rejoice; they charge us keep to well-worn paths, and in your springtime there is virtue and honesty in being constant to your lover.
Ama me fideliter! Fidem meam nota: de corde totaliter et ex mente tota sum presentialiter absens in remota. Quisquis amat taliter, volvitur in rota.
Love me truly! Remember my constancy. With all my heart and all my mind I am with you even when far away. Whoever knows such love knows the torture of the wheel.
5. Ecce gratum Chorus Ecce gratum et optatum ver reducit gaudia, purpuratum floret pratum, sol serenat omnia. Iamiam cedant tristia! Estas redit, nunc recedit Hyemis sevitia.
Behold the welcome, long-awaited spring, which brings back pleasure and with crimson flowers adorns the fields. The sun brings peace to all around. Away with sadness! Summer returns, and now departs cruel winter.
Iam liquescit et decrescit grando, nix et cetera; bruma fugit, et iam sugit ver estatis ubera; illi mens est misera, qui nec vivit, nec lascivit, sub estatis dextera.
Melt away and disappear hail, ice and snow; the mists flee, and spring is fed at summer’s breast. Wretched is the man who neither lives nor lusts under summer’s spell.
Gloriantur et letantur in melle dulcedinis, qui conantur, ut untantur premio Cupidinis; simus jussu Cypridis gloriantes et letantes pares esse Paridis.
They taste delight and honeyed sweetness who strive for and gain Cupid’s reward. Let us submit to Venus’ rule, and joyful and proud be equal to Paris.

If the whole world were but mine from the sea right to the Rhine, gladly I’d pass it by if the Queen of England fair in my arms did lie.
II. IN TABERNA (In the Tavern) 11. Estuans interius Baritone Estuans interius ira vehementi in amaritudine loquor mee menti: factus de materia, cinis elementi, similis sum folio, de quo ludunt venti.
Seething inside with boiling rage, in bitterness I talk to myself. Made of matter, risen from dust, I am like a leaf tossed in play by the winds.
Cum sit enim proprium viro sapienti supra petram ponere sedem fundamenti, stultus ego comparor fluvio labenti, river, sub eodem tramite nunquam permanenti. Feror ego veluti sine nauta navis, ut per vias aeris vaga fertur avis; non me tenent vincula,
But whereas it befits a wise man to build his house on a rock, I, poor fool, am like a meandering never keeping to the same path. I drift along like a pilotless ship or like an aimless bird, carried at random through the air.
non me tenet clavis, quero mihi similes, et adiungor pravis.
No chains hold me captive, no lock holds me fast; I am looking for those like me, and I joined the depraved.
Mihi cordis gravitas res videtur gravis; iocus est amabilis dulciorque favis; quicquid Venus imperat, labor est suavis, que nunquam in cordibus habitat ignavis.
The burdens of the heart seem to weigh me down; jesting is pleasant and sweeter than the honeycomb. Whatever Venus commands is pleasant toil; she never dwells in craven hearts.
Via lata gradior more iuventutis, inplicor et vitiis, immemor virtutis, voluptatis avidus magis quam salutis, mortuus in anima curam gero cutis.
On the broad path I wend my way as is youth’s wont, I am caught up in vice and forgetful of virtue, caring more for voluptuous pleasure than for my health; dead in spirit, I think only of my skin.
12. Olim lacus colueram Tenor and Male Chorus Olim lacus colueram, olim pulcher extiteram — dum cignus ego fueram. Miser, miser! Modo niger et ustus fortiter!
Once in lakes I made my home, once I dwelt in beauty — that was when I was a swan. Alas, poor me! Now I am black and roasted to a turn!
Girat, regirat garcifer; me rogus urit fortiter: propinat me nunc dapifer. Miser, miser! etc.
On the spit I turn and turn, the fire roasts me through; now I am presented at the feast. Alas, poor me! etc.
Nunc in scutella iaceo, et volitare nequeo, dentes frendentes video. Miser, miser! etc.
Now in a serving dish I lie and can no longer fly; gnashing teeth confront me. Alas, poor me! etc.
13. Ego sum abbas Baritone and Male Chorus Ego sum abbas Cucaniensis, et consilium meum est cum bibulis, et in secta Decii voluntas mea est, et qui mane me quesierit in taberna, post vesperam nudus egredietur, et sic denudatus veste clamabit: Wafna, wafna! Quid fecisti sors turpissima? Nostre vite gaudia abstulisti omnia! Wafna, wafna! Ha, ha!
I am the abbot of Cucany, and I like to drink with my friends. I belong from choice to the sect of Decius, and whoever meets me in the morning at the tavern by evening has lost his clothes, and thus stripped of his clothes cries out: Wafna, wafna! What hast thou done,oh,wicked fate? All the pleasures of this life thus to take away! Wafna, wafna! Ha, ha!
14. In taberna quando sumus Male Chorus In taberna quando sumus, non curamus quid sit humus, sed ad ludum properamus, cui semper insudamus. Quid agatur in taberna, ubi nummus est pincerna, hoc est opus ut queratur, si quid loquar, audiatur.
When we are in the tavern we spare no thought for the grave, but rush to the gaming tables where we always sweat and strain. What goes on in the tavern, where a coin gets you a drink — if this is what you would know, then listen to what I say.
Quidam ludunt, quidam bibunt, quidam indiscrete vivunt. Sed in ludo qui morantur, ex his quidam denudantur, quidam ibi vestiuntur, quidam saccis induuntur. Ibi nullus timet mortem, sed pro Bacho mittunt sortem.
Some men gamble, some men drink, some indulge in indiscretions. But of those who stay to gamble, some lose their clothes, some win new clothes, while others put on sack cloth. There no one is afraid of death, but for Bacchus plays at games of chance.

Parum sexcente nummate durant, cum immoderate bibunt omnes sine meta. Quamvis bibant mente leta, sic nos rodunt omnes gentes, et sic erimus egentes. Qui nos rodunt confundantur et cum iustis non scribantur.
Six hundred coins are not enough when all these drink too much, and without restraint. Although they drink cheerfully, many people censure us, and we shall always be short of money. May our cries be confounded and never be numbered among the just.
III. COUR D’AMOURS (Court of Love) 15. Amor volat undique Children’s Chorus and Soprano Amor volat undique, captus est libidine. Iuvenes, iuvencule coniunguntur merito. Siqua sine socio, caret omni gaudio; tenet noctis infirma sub intimo cordis in custodia: fit res amarissima.
Love flies everywhere and is seized by desire. Young men and women are matched together. If a girl lacks a partner, she misses all the fun; in the depths of her heart is darkest night: it is a bitter fate.
16. Dies, nox et omnia Baritone Dies, nox et omnia mihi sunt contraria, virginum, colloquia me fay planszer, oy suvenz suspirer, plu me fay temer.
Day, night and all the worldare against me, the sound of maidens’ voices makes me weep. I often hear sighing, and it makes me more afraid.

O friends, be merry, say what you will, but have mercy on me, a sad man, for great is my sorrow, yet give me counsel for the sake of your honor.
Tua pulchra facies, me fey planszer milies, pectus habet glacies,

There stood a girl fair as a rose; her face was radiant, her mouth like a flower. Heigho, heigho.

Lovely is your face, the glance of your eyes, the braids of your hair, oh, how beautiful you are! Redder than the rose, whiter than the lily, comelier than all the rest; always I shall glory in you.

In the scales of my wavering indecision physical love and chastity are weighed. But I choose what I see, I bow my head in submission and take on the yoke which is after all sweet.

HUGH RUSSELL, BARITONE Canadian baritone Hugh Russell continues to receive high praise for his charisma, dramatic energy and vocal beauty. He is widely acclaimed for his performances in the operas of Mozart and Rossini, and is regularly invited to perform with symphony orchestras throughout North America. At the center of his orchestral repertoire is Orff’s popular Carmina Burana, which Mr. Russell has performed with The Philadelphia Orchestra, The Cleveland Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony, Houston Symphony, Pittsburgh Symphony, Seattle Symphony, Toronto Symphony, and Vancouver Symphony, among others. The New Orleans Times-Picayune said, “Baritone Hugh Russell also grasped the theatrical nature of Orff’s work, nearly stealing the show with a voice that ranged from organ-deep rumbles to flutelike falsetto – and an acting style that drew roars of laughter as he captured the bullishness of an intoxicated medieval abbot.” In the current season, Mr. Russell will be heard in performances of Carmina Burana with the Indianapolis Symphony and new Music Director Krzysztof Urbanski, National Symphony and Los Angeles Philharmonic with Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, Milwaukee Symphony and Andreas Delfs, and Houston Symphony with Music Director Hans Graf. He appears with the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony with Music Director Edwin Outwater in a season opening Gala, and returns later for performances of Mahler’s Songs of a Wayfarer. He returns to the Vancouver Symphony for concerts with Music Director Bramwell Tovey of Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem and Songs of a Wayfarer. He adds John Adams’ The Wound-Dresser in performances with the Toledo Symphony and will be heard in the title role of The Barber of Seville with Opera Hamilton. In the 2012-2013 season, Mr. Russell makes his debut with the Danish Radio Symphony in performances of Carmina Burana with Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos and for his debut with the Naples Philharmonic. Additional performances include Rachmaninoff’s The Bells with the Madison Symphony Orchestra, and his return to Opera Theatre of St. Louis as 36
General Stanley in The Pirates of Penzance. During the 2010–2011 season, Mr. Russell made his UK debut as Virginio in Mercadante’s Virginia at the Wexford Festival. He joined Edo de Waart and the Milwaukee Symphony for performances of Vaughan Williams’ Sea Symphony and sang Papageno in his debut with Manitoba Opera. Additional performances included Carmina Burana with the Philadelphia Orchestra in Vail and at his alma mater, the Oberlin Conservatory. Mr. Russell began the 2009–2010 season as Lescaut in performances of Massenet’s Manon for Angers-Nantes Opéra. He returned to Atlanta Opera as Papageno in Die Zauberflöte and was heard in concert performances of Mahler’s Songs of a Wayfarer and Fauré’s Requiem with Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and Carmina Burana with KitchenerWaterloo Symphony Orchestra and Sarasota Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Russell began the 2008–2009 season as Dandini in La Cenerentola with Atlanta Opera. He was also heard as Belcore in L’elisir d’amore with Arizona Opera, and made his role debut as Papageno in Die Zauberflöte with Pacific Opera Victoria and Orchestra London. He continued his success as baritone soloist in Carmina Burana with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and Leonard Slatkin and with Pittsburgh Symphony, Vancouver Symphony, Edmonton Symphony, New Mexico Symphony and National Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Russell has been seen at the New York City Opera, where he made his company debut singing the title role in Il barbiere di Siviglia, as well as the Los Angeles Opera, where he sang Harlequin in Ariadne auf Naxos conducted by Kent Nagano. He was both an Adler Fellow and a member of the Merola Opera Program at San Francisco Opera, where he was heard in Ariadne auf Naxos and in Messiaen’s St François d’Assise. The San Francisco Classical Voice proclaimed, “He seems born for the stage. And with a lyrical voice boasting a strong and exciting top end, he is a complete performer.”

As a member of the Pittsburgh Opera Center, Mr. Russell sang the roles of Malatesta in Don Pasquale, the title role in Pelléas et Mélisande, and Guglielmo in Così fan tutte, a role he has also performed with Boston Baroque. Reviewing the latter performance, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review wrote, “Baritone Hugh Russell was magnificent…His was also the most completely acted performance.” A further triumph with this company was his performance in Dominick Argento’s Postcard from Morocco. He has also been a regular performer with the New York Festival of Song and has sung in the Festival’s recitals at Merkin Concert Hall, the Kaye Playhouse, and the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, and was cited by The New York Times for his “lovely
sound.” On the orchestral concert stage, he has been heard in Carmina Burana with the Seattle and San Francisco Symphonies, in Fauré’s Requiem with the Orquestra de Sevilla, and in Tobias Picker’s Tres sonetos de amor with L’Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg, among many others. Other recent operatic engagements have included the lead role of the Pilot in Rachel Portman’s The Little Prince with Boston Lyric Opera; Taddeo in L’italiana in Algeri with Vancouver Opera; Valentin in Faust with Pittsburgh Opera; and Taddeo in L’italiana in Algeri and Eisenstein in Die Fledermaus with Arizona Opera.

legacy of excellence legacy of excellence
In addition to income from the Annual Fund, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra is dependent on a robust Endowment to assure its financial stability. Gifts from Legacy of Excellence programs are directed to the endowment to provide for the PSO’s future. The Steinberg Society honors donors who have advised the PSO in writing that they have made a provision for the orchestra through their estate plans. Members of the Sid Kaplan Tribute program have made a planned gift to the endowment of $10,000 or more to commemorate a particular person or event. Endowed Naming Opportunities for guest artists, musicians’ chairs, concert series, educational programs or designated spaces allow donors to specify a name or tribute for ten years, twenty years or in perpetuity.
