Chief Executive Officer Dear Friends:

It has been twenty months since we were together for a full season of live music at the Southern Theatre. Indeed, we have navigated a very strange and complex year and a half – but we have emerged stronger than ever! Together, we experienced tremendous creativity, innovation, and deepening of friendships with all of you, and we are grateful. And now, it is with immense joy to welcome you to our 2021-22 season! This year, we celebrate our quintessential mix of the contemporary and cherished classics. Highlights include our ongoing commitment to championing new works, as we perform the world premieres of our 68th and 69th commissions from composer/ pianist Stewart Goodyear and composer/cellist Joshua Roman. The Fives served as a wonderful host to us last year and we are thrilled to establish a new 3-part chamber music series, presented there later in the season. We welcome a remarkable roster of guest artists and rising and diverse young talents, featured alongside our own brilliant musicians. Our 43rd season will not be short on variety! Finally, THANK YOU — for your warm and generous support during a very difficult time. From sudden lockdown, to our reimagined “Season of Festivals” performances at The Fives, to our digital concert series, to now our very emotional first moments back onstage at the Southern Theatre. Thank you for your encouragement, for staying with us, and for inspiring us to keep playing. We look forward to sharing many transformative musical moments, and connectedness to one another. Warmest Wishes,

Janet Chen

The Elizabeth M. Ross Music Director

David Danzmayr

“ The performance was an unmitigated triumph.” Michael Tumelty, The Herald

“Extremely good, concise, clear, incisive and expressive” writes The Herald of David Danzmayr, who is widely regarded as one of the most talented and exciting European conductors of his generation. Following on a very successful tenure as Chief Conductor of the Zagreb Philharmonic Orchestra, Danzmayr was appointed Conductor Laureate, the youngest ever to hold this title in the orchestra´s history. Performing regularly to sold-out audiences in Zagreb´s Lisinski Hall and having been awarded the Zagreb City Award, Danzmayr and his orchestra also repeatedly toured to the Salzburg Festspielhaus, where they received standing ovations performing the prestigious New Year’s concert, and to the Wiener Musikverein. Danzmayr serves as Music Director of the creative and unique ProMusica Chamber Orchestra, an orchestra comprised of musicians from all over the United States. Here, he regularly commissions worldrenowned composer/performers to appear in the first performances of their works alongside the great classics, a mission that extends the creative spirit of classical music and places the core repertoire in a modern context. In February 2021, David was announced as the new Music Director of the Oregon Symphony. Previously David Danzmayr served as Music Director of the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra in Chicago, where he was lauded regularly by both the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Classical Review for his performances. He was also the only conductor in the Chicago area, who programmed a piece of American music at every concert. David has won prizes at some of the world´s most prestigious conducting competitions including a 2nd prize at the International Gustav Mahler Conducting Competition and prizes at the International Malko Conducting Competition. For his extraordinary success, he has been awarded the Bernhard Paumgartner Medal by the Internationale Stiftung Mozarteum.

Building these early successes into a far-reaching international career, Danzmayr has quickly become a sought-after guest conductor for orchestras around the globe, having worked in Europe with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, Vienna Radio, Stuttgart Radio, City of Birmingham, Hamburg, Basel, Bamberg, Odense, and Iceland symphonies, as well as Essener Philharmoniker, Bruckner Orchester, Mozarteum Orchester, Swedish Chamber Orchestra and others. In North America, his talents have propelled him to the finest of U.S. and Canadian orchestras in a very short time, where he has already conducted the likes of the Minnesota Orchestra, the Detroit, Houston, Oregon, Milwaukee, Utah, Vancouver, San Diego, Colorado, North Carolina, Pacific, New Jersey, and Indianapolis symphonies, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and Grant Park Festival just to name a few. Besides numerous reinvitations, he will make major debuts this season with the Baltimore Symphony, San Antonio Symphony, Virginia Symphony, the Rochester Philharmonic and the BBC Orchestra of Wales. He has served as Assistant Conductor of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, which he conducted in more than 70 concerts so far, performing in all the major Scottish concert halls and the prestigious, Orkney based, St Magnus Festival. David Danzmayr received his musical training at the University Mozarteum in Salzburg where, after initially studying piano, he went on to study conducting in the class of Dennis Russell Davies. Danzmayr was strongly influenced by Pierre Boulez and Claudio Abbado in his time as conducting stipendiate of the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra and by Leif Segerstam during his additional studies in the conducting class of the Sibelius Academy. Subsequently, he gained significant experience as assistant to Neeme Järvi, Stephane Deneve, Carlos Kalmar, Sir Andrew Davis, and Pierre Boulez, who entrusted Danzmayr with the preparatory rehearsals for his music.

“Clearly Danzmayr has what it takes.” –John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune

December Guest Artist

Simone Dinnerstein Simone Dinnerstein is an American pianist. She lives in Brooklyn, New York with her husband, son and dog, less than a mile from the hospital in which she was born. Simone has a distinctive musical voice. The Washington Post has called her “an artist of strikingly original ideas and irrefutable integrity.” She first came to wider public attention in 2007 through her recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations, reflecting an aesthetic that was both deeply rooted in the score and profoundly idiosyncratic. She is, wrote The New York Times, “a unique voice in the forest of Bach interpretation.” Since that recording, she has had a busy performing career. She has played with orchestras ranging from the New York Philharmonic and the Montreal Symphony Orchestra to the London Symphony Orchestra and the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale Rai. She has performed in venues from Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center to the Berlin Philharmonie, the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Seoul Arts Center and the Sydney Opera House. She has made ten albums, all of which topped the Billboard classical charts, with repertoire ranging from Beethoven to Ravel. This season, Simone takes on a number of new artistic challenges. She gives the world premiere of The Eye is the First Circle at Montclair State University, the first multi-media production she has conceived, created, and directed, which uses as source materials her father Simon Dinnerstein’s painting The Fulbright Triptych and Charles Ives’s Piano Sonata No. 2 (Concord). In addition, she premieres Richard Danielpour’s An American Mosaic, a tribute to those affected by the pandemic, in a performance on multiple pianos placed throughout Brooklyn’s Green-Wood Cemetery. She also joins Renée Fleming, the Emerson String Quartet, and Uma Thurman for performances of André Previn and Tom Stoppard’s Penelope at both Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. From 2020 to 2022, Simone releases a trilogy of albums recorded at her home in Brooklyn during the pandemic. A Character of Quiet (Orange Mountain Music, 2020), featuring the music of Philip Glass and Schubert, was described by NPR as, “music that speaks to a sense of the world slowing down,” and by The New Yorker as, “a reminder that quiet can contain multitudes.” Richard Danielpour’s An American Mosaic (Supertrain Records, 2021), surpassed two million streams on Apple Music. The final installment in the trilogy, Undersong, will be released in January 2022 on Orange Mountain Music. In recent years, Simone has created projects that express her broad musical interests. Following her recording of Mozart in Havana, she brought the Havana Lyceum Orchestra from Cuba to the United States for the very first time, raising the funding, booking the concerts, and organizing their housing and transport. Together,

Simone and the orchestra played eleven concerts from Miami to Boston. Philip Glass composed his Piano Concerto No. 3 for Simone, co-commissioned by twelve American and Canadian orchestras. She collaborated with choreographer Pam Tanowitz to create New Work for Goldberg Variations, which was met with widespread critical acclaim. Working with Renée Fleming and the Emerson String Quartet, she premiered André Previn and Tom Stoppard’s Penelope at the Tanglewood, Ravinia and Aspen music festivals. Most recently, she created her own string ensemble, Baroklyn, which she directs from the keyboard. Their performance of Bach’s cantata Ich Habe Genug in March 2020 was the last concert she gave before New York City shut down. Simone is committed to giving concerts in non-traditional venues and to audiences who don’t often hear classical music. For the last three decades, she has played concerts throughout the United States for the Piatigorsky Foundation, an organization dedicated to the widespread dissemination of classical music. It was for the Piatigorsky Foundation that she gave the first piano recital in the Louisiana state prison system at the Avoyelles Correctional Center. She has also performed at the Maryland Correctional Institution for Women in a concert organized by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Simone founded Neighborhood Classics in 2009, a concert series open to the public and hosted by New York City Public Schools to raise funds for their music education programs. She also created a program called Bachpacking during which she takes a digital keyboard to elementary school classrooms, helping young children get close to the music she loves. She is a committed supporter and proud alumna of Philadelphia’s Astral Artists, which supports young performers. Simone counts herself fortunate to have studied with three unique artists: Solomon Mikowsky, Maria Curcio and Peter Serkin, very different musicians who shared the belief that playing the piano is a means to something greater. The Washington Post comments that “ultimately, it is Dinnerstein’s unreserved identification with every note she plays that makes her performance so spellbinding.” In a world where music is everywhere, she hopes that it can still be transformative.

DECEMBER: About the Music The Jon Mac Anderson Program Notes underwritten by Porter, Wright, Morris and Arthur, LLP

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750): Keyboard Concerto No. 7 in G Minor, BWV 1058

Instrumentation: Scored for keyboard and strings Duration: 15 minutes The city of Leipzig proved Bach’s final stop during a lifetime spent roughly within a 100 mile radius of what is now central Germany. Indeed, Bach only left the region twice, once to travel to Berlin on business and, as a young man, to go by foot to the northern town of Lübeck, a 250 mile trek undertaken to hear the great organist Dietrich Buxtehude. We can get a sense of Bach’s understated reputation during his lifetime by the fact that he was offered a position at Leipzig’s St. Thomas Church only after the far more popular George Phillip Telemann turned it down! Bach’s Leipzig responsibilities included composing for the city’s Lutheran churches and teaching students at the Thomasschule singing and Latin. He also eventually took over the directorship of the Collegium Musicum, a private, secular ensemble that offered additional performance opportunities at venues such as Café Zimmermann, Leipzig’s premiere coffee house located in an elegant street near the city’s main square. Our performance tonight opens with music Bach composed for one of these Collegium concerts, the Keyboard Concerto No. 7 in G Minor, BWV 1058. Bach naturally envisioned the work performed on the harpsichord, the workhorse keyboard of the era, as evidenced by his title Concerto for Cembalo (cembalo being the Italian term for a plucked keyboard instrument). Nevertheless, the piano, which unlike its

harpsichord predecessor was capable of dynamics, came into existence during Bach’s lifetime. Although he initially criticized the instrument, he seems to eventually have appreciated its advantages. Consequently, today his keyboard compositions are often performed on the piano, albeit the modern keyboard has changed a great deal since Bach’s time (among other features, it possesses far more keys than the instrument Bach knew). Bach no doubt played the solo part himself at Zimmermann’s, leading from the keyboard much as our soloist will do tonight. The G minor concerto, a transcription of the composer’s own Violin Concerto in A minor, is cast in what was to become the standard concerto three-movement Italian form, fast-slow-fast, although internally the music is constructed differently than the concerti of the Classical period. There are no cadenzas, for instance, and as is evident in the very opening of the sprightly first movement (for which the composer provided no tempo indication), Bach did not regard the keyboard and orchestra as distinct groups but rather often binds them up tightly together. As is typical of the age, the material presented at the outset is constantly reimagined until restated at the movement’s conclusion. In the stately Andante, Bach gives the keyboardist complete dominion of the expressive material, while the orchestra provides a rhythmic underpinning. The finale, Allegro assai, which Bach sets in the unusual meter of 9/8, features a blend of dance with studied contrapuntal activity (the movement actually begins with a fugue), allowing the score to conclude with a fascinating combination of gravitas and spin.

Johann Sebastian Bach: Chorale Prelude “Erbarm' dich mein, o Herre Gott,” BWV 721 Instrumentation: Scored for piano and strings Duration: 4 minutes

Because much of Bach’s music went unpublished during his lifetime, it’s often difficult to know for certain when various works were composed. In fact, in the case of the Chorale Prelude “Erbarm' dich mein, o Herre Gott” (“Have Mercy on Me, O Lord God”), the great humanist, Bach scholar and organist Albert Schweitzer didn’t believe was music was Bach’s at all! But most scholars now recognize

it as just another example of the composer’s multifaceted brilliance. During his years in Leipzig, Bach put the final touches on a number of organ works composed earlier in Weimar, where his employer, the Duke of Weimar—a fervent Lutheran and music lover—had encouraged organ composition. Whatever the original function of the chorale preludes— they possibly provided a backdrop for ceremonial events such as communion— Bach’s aim was to set a number of Lutheran chorales to various organ accompaniments. “Erbarm' dich” features the slow-moving chorale in the keyboard’s right hand, set against a steady accompaniment of eighth notes below. What makes this work particularly engaging is Bach’s stunning, if simple, voice leading and chord structure, a world so vastly different from the often complex and labyrinthine nature of so many of his scores. The transcription heard tonight, for piano and strings, was arranged for Ms. Dinnerstein by composer Philip Lasser.

Johann Sebastian Bach: Orchestral Suite No. 2 in B Minor, BWV 1067

Instrumentation: Scored for solo flute, strings, and continuo Duration: 20 minutes Bach’s Orchestral Suites often go by the name of Overtures, on account of their opening movements, overtures composed in the French style. The character was directly absorbed from that of the French court, where the composer Lully established a stately, if pompous, rhythmic style—heard at the outset—a sort of musical metaphor of Louis XIV and his court. Like Bach’s “Brandenburg” Concertos, the instrumentation varies with each of the four orchestral suites but the suites are nevertheless unified by way of their overture openings and collection of dance movements that follow. The music was likely composed in Leipzig for the same Collegium coffeehouse concerts discussed earlier, a theory predicated in part on account of surviving orchestral parts stemming from Bach’s Leipzig years (such as the extant flute and viola parts in Bach’s hand for this suite). As mentioned, the B minor Suite opens with a French overture, its majestic “double-dotted” rhythms indicative

of the stately character of—or perhaps suggesting the entrance of—a king. In keeping with the French overture style, Bach then transits to a faster fugal section before concluding with a restatement of the stately opening. A series of dance movements follow, again reminiscent of the activity at the French court; under Louis’s reign, ballet became an established entity at court and a number of dance styles were likewise solidified, though it should be noted that Bach did not intend his music to actually accompany any dancing. An airy Rondeau is followed by a graceful Sarabande, the slowest movement of the set. From here Bach moves on to a spirited pair of Bourées, the first highly energized and the latter more relaxed and performed by a solo group, before repeating the first Bourée. Suites typically looked to national dances and the Polonaise is no exception—this dance is of Polish origin and its characteristic triple meter and rhythm would be made famous by the 19th Polish piano virtuoso, Chopin. Following a minuet, a royal dance that would later find its way into the symphonies of Haydn and Mozart, Bach closes with what has become one of his most famous works, the Badinerie, providing his B minor Suite with an impressively virtuosic final flourish.

Philip Glass (b. 1937): Piano Concerto No. 3 Instrumentation: Scored for piano and strings Duration: 34 minutes

We are all aware of the radical movements that sprang up in 1960’s America so it will come as no surprise to learn that classical music experienced its own shake ups. “Minimalism” sprang from this era of protests and divisive change, a movement that consciously sought to distance itself from the more complex, dissonant scores that had pervaded the discipline of Western art music since the start of the 20th century. Seeking a simpler, more accessible product, minimalists such as Steve Reich imbued their scores with consonant intervals and minimal, repetitive material. Philip Glass encountered Reich’s music upon returning from studies in Europe, and thereupon embarked on his own minimalistic path, one that ultimately proved fantastically successful. Works like Einstein on the Beach and the formation of the Philip Glass Ensemble helped seal Glass’ position as one of seminal composers of our time. (It may be worth noting that Glass prefers to think of himself as a composer of “music with

2 0 2 1 - 2 2 S E A S O N | promusicacolumbus.org

repetitive structures” rather than strictly minimalist music). Glass’ trademark style might be summarized as a reliance on driving ostinato patterns, an underlying motor characterized by repeated arpeggios and short, graspable rhythmic gestures, with flowing tonal harmonies placed over top. Hypnotic and accessible, Glass’ music gradually morphs from one idea into another, something akin to the fluid motion of liquid sand art. These characteristics are eminently evident throughout the Third Piano Concerto, a work composed for Simone Dinnerstein and premiered in 2017. As we might expect from a composer whose musical genesis is linked to revolution, the structure of this concerto is also rather individual. Rather than open with an orchestral introduction, the curtain rises on the soloist juxtaposing duple vs. triple meters, a character that will thread its way throughout the work. The first two movements, which are in many ways quite similar, are linked. The third movement, which continues Glass’ trademark sound and ends almost

meditatively, is dedicated to Arvo Pärt, an Estonian whose religious and philosophical style has proven greatly influential within the minimalist musical world. A closing thought: while most composers build their instrumental scores from idiomatic ideas natural to the oboe, say, or the violin, we might think of Glass as constructing musical gestures that ceaselessly flow between the various string families and the keyboard, as if each is but an extension of the other.

Borrowing techniques and subject matter from graffiti, ancient mythology, and abstract painting, Adam Hernandez likes to describe his art as a kind of “ghetto hieroglyphics.” He is inspired by both the support and the friendly competition he finds in Columbus. “I think competition forces artists to keep pushing their boundaries and in turn some really rad art gets created.”
