WELCOME TO THE 2015–16 SEASON!

I’m thrilled to be back home in Rochester and delighted to begin a new chapter in the RPO’s rich history with this community that I love so dearly. The arrival of a new season brings a fresh opportunity for musical exploration. In my first Philharmonics season, we’ll cover a broad spectrum of music. Towering symphonic masterpieces, enchanting vocal repertoire—both large and small scale— and brand new works, never before been heard in Rochester, are combined to include something for everyone on each and every program. We welcome a dazzling array of guest artists, many of whom will be making their RPO debut, alongside familiar favorites. Above all, each program will showcase our world-class orchestra, which is the heart and soul of our 93-year tradition of musical excellence.

JEFF TYZIK

Jeff Tyzik has another sensational Pops lineup in store, with a wonderful mix of exciting new artists visiting us for the first time and much-beloved artists who will return to share their gifts with the Rochester community. Michael Butterman continues his excellent work on our OrKIDStra series, and we have a newly designed Sunday Matinee series at Hochstein, which will highlight music of the great masters—Beethoven, Brahms, Haydn, and Mozart. Once again this year, we will present a number of special performances to complement our four core series. No matter what your particular musical taste, I guarantee you’ll find something that speaks to you! We look forward to seeing you at Kodak Hall many times this season. Music is a universal language, able to communicate far beyond mere words, exploring the human condition in tremendous depth of emotion and expression. We are all better off with music in our lives and the energy of the audience is the key to unlocking the magic of a shared musical experience. All of us on stage are looking forward to enjoying many wonderful moments with you this year and in the years to come. Thank you for joining us on this amazing journey!

JOIN US FOR AN EXCITING NEW ERA OF ORCHESTRAL SHOWSTOPPERS

SIMONE PORTER “Future star … Wait: Let’s strike the word ‘future.’ She sounds ready. Now.” —Los Angeles Times She made her concert debut with the Seattle Symphony at age 10, and her international debut with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at 13. Now 18, violin prodigy Simone Porter is fresh off a critically acclaimed LA Phil debut and on the threshold of superstardom. Known for uninhibited performances that are bold, daring, dramatic, and expressive, Porter is the perfect match for the surging lyricism of Barber’s concerto. Make sure you’re there for the RPO debut of this household-name-in-the-making.

EIN HELDENLEBEN (A HERO’S LIFE)

VADYM KHOLODENKO “Vadym Kholodenko spins pure gold … mesmerizing” —Audiophile Audition Those who caught his 2014 RPO debut witnessed a staggering pianistic tour-deforce that literally stopped the show. Back by popular demand, 28-year-old phenom Vadym Kholodenko takes the stage to perform the concerto that clinched him Van Cliburn Gold. Be blown away by artistry that’s “impeccable … vibrant, and also something more: imaginative” (Cleveland Plain Dealer).

Ward Stare, conductor Vadym Kholodenko, piano STEPHANIE BERG Ravish and Mayhem PROKOFIEV Piano Concerto No. 3 R. STRAUSS Ein Heldenleben (A Hero’s Life) Master tone poet Richard Strauss paints with every color of the orchestral palette in a swashbuckling epic packed with sweeping, soaring melodies. Following a show-stopping performance last season, Vadym Kholodenko returns to perform the piece with which he won Van Cliburn gold. Vadym Kholodenko’s performance is made possible by The Alfred Davis and Brunhilde Knapp Artists Performance Fund.

STRAUSS’ FOUR LAST SONGS Ward Stare, conductor Erin Wall, soprano PATRICK HARLIN Rapture BARBER Symphony No. 1 VAUGHAN WILLIAMS Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis R. STRAUSS Four Last Songs Rapture is the hallmark of a concert that highlights music’s unique power to carry us away. The first half features Barber’s first symphonic venture, a creative outpouring teeming with drama and lyrical flourish. Composed in the final year of his life, Strauss’ meditative farewell to the worldly realm is some of the most moving music ever written, and the culmination of his lifelong love affair with the soprano voice.
