The musical voyage doesn’t stop there – we are embarking on a grand new adventure, July 2-6, Water Music NY: More Voices, commemorating the Erie Canal Bicentennial. Five composers have been exploring unique canalside communities. By gathering and promoting the diverse narratives of refugees and immigrants, people of color, women, Indigenous Americans, and nature itself, the Albany Symphony will present free concerts to spark dialogue, expand perspectives, and energize people about the Erie Canal’s past, present, and future. As the weather warms, the rivers thaw, and daylight shines, we cannot wait to welcome thousands to Water Music NY: More Voices, free outdoor festivals, July 2-6.
Thank you for the innumerable ways you have supported your symphony this year. You make the music more memorable.
With gratitude,

All programs and artists are subject to change. During the performance, please silence mobile devices. Recording and photographing any part of the performance is strictly prohibited.
OVERVIEW: There are at least two significant ways that this program coheres: each of these works has an extra-musical dimension to it. In the case of Ravel and Berlioz, there is a story behind the notes; and as Esmail writes in her program note, “This Violin Concerto explores the ancient elements of the Five Elements (space, air, fire, water, earth).”
In addition, the whole question of orchestration is raised: what is the special sonic world we are entering in each composer’s case? Ravel does us a favor by revealing individual instrumental voices, one at a time: a sort of orchestral primer. Esmail combines Eastern and Western traditions of instrumentation, repetition, and melody. And Berlioz, who, in 1844, wrote a book called Treatise on Instrumentation, has given us a large (about 90 players) and long (55 minutes, five movements) work that is both psychologically and aurally immersive.
Notes by Paul Lamar
MAURICE RAVEL Boléro
To know the music of Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) is to discover the numerous artistic paths he took during his career. He had the last word on the waltz with his wild, ironic La Valse. He wrote charming
John Keal Music
Convenient
piano music, like Ma Mere l’Oye. He loved things Spanish: in addition to Boléro, he penned Rapsodie espagnole and Alborada del gracioso. Ballet? Try the sumptuous music to Daphnis and Chloe. And of all the composers who wrote concertos for the left-handed pianist Paul Wittgenstein (a casualty of WWI), Ravel was the most successful: his effort is standard repertory fare.
And orchestration! Not only did he adapt some of his own piano music for the orchestra, but he gave us a stunning arrangement of Mussorgsky’s piano suite Pictures at an Exhibition (1922) that is now the way most people come to the piece. Indeed, as Bagar and Biancolli note in their book The Concert Companion, “A craftsman among craftsmen, a fastidious and tireless worker, a consummate scholar, Maurice Ravel…recognized only one art, not several, in that music, painting, and literature differ from one another only as regards means of expression…One of his excelling talents was his understanding of styles...”
In 1931 Ravel declared publicly that this work “constitutes an experiment in a very special and limited direction…consisting wholly of ‘orchestral tissue without music’…folk-tunes of the Spanish-American kind…and it is for the listener to take it or leave it.”
Many might just as soon leave it at this point in their musical experience. This ballet music from 1928 has, perhaps, worn out its welcome, at least on recordings or over the radio, but the pleasure of hearing AND seeing it performed live may bring around those who have grown tired of its hypnotic familiarity. After all, it is a piece notable for its orchestral color, and what better way to appreciate it than to see how the sounds are being made.
If you want to add the ballet story to your thinking, it goes like this: a Spanish senorita dances on a table in a tavern. A throng of men eyes her every move, becoming more and more passionate as the dancing intensifies. Near the end, as Edward Downes relates, “(K)nives are drawn, and there is a violent tavern brawl.”
Or maybe you remember Boléro fondly as the musical accompaniment to the 1984 Olympic performance by ice dancers extraordinaire Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean.
The work opens with a solo snare drum that beats insistently throughout, over which instruments, one after the other, play a sinuous tune on a descending C major scale. Listen. And watch.
Notes by Paul Lamar
REENA ESMAIL
Concerto for Hindustani Violin
This Violin Concerto explores the ancient concept of the Five Elements (space, air, fire, water and earth), through the modern lens of climate change. Each of these elements can be so uniquely beautiful and awe-inspiring when they are in balance with one another — and yet when they are out of balance, they can cause boundless destruction. This work is a celebration of the incredible ecosystem we call home, a tough look down the road of destruction of that home, and a prayer of atonement, and hope for the restoration.
I was incredibly honored to collaborate with Kala Ramnath on this concerto — we each brought our unique body of knowledge into creating something that reached further than either of us could have conceived alone. It was Kala who first came to me with the concept for this work, and it is her melodies, with their unique raag and taal, and lively rhythmic interplay that form the backbone of this concerto. I expanded out those melodies into orchestra, surrounding Kala and creating a work that allowed musicians from both cultures to meet one another, and step into each others’ expressive worlds.
These issues that affect our natural world are so broad — they cross countries and cultures. It is our hope that this work brings us together, and allows us to have these difficult discussions from a place of mutual respect and understanding.
Notes by Reena Esmail
HECTOR BERLIOZ Symphonie fantastique
Perhaps one of the most notable features of the music of Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) is its connection to a program. Words struck Berlioz, who was himself a music critic, and he drew on Shakespeare (Beatrice and Benedict, based on Much Ado About Nothing), Byron (Harold in Italy), and Goethe (The Damnation of Faust), among others, for inspiration.
Personal experiences also provided him with a programmatic framework. His passionate feelings for Irish actress Harriet Smithson, whom he first saw in 1827 in a Paris production of Romeo and Juliet and who later became his wife, prompted him to create this unconventional, 55-minute symphony, subtitled “Episode de la vie d’un artiste” (episode from the life of an artist).
In all of his large works he exploited the full color palette of the orchestra: watch and listen.
This is the note, slightly edited, I wrote for the scheduled ASO performance of this piece in April, 2020. Now, five years after the pandemic canceled that concert, we can enjoy Berlioz’s masterwork, which received its premiere in 1830.
The symphony begins in medias res: a poet daydreams. The reverie, brought on by a nonfatal dose of opium, is characterized by a wandering line in the violins, with occasional interruptions by other orchestral voices. The poet is ill at ease, but only until he “sees” the image of the woman for whom he pines. The thought of her is, psychologically speaking, an idee fixe—an obsession. Berlioz creates a tune in the violins (with flute) a little more than five minutes in that recurs in each of the subsequent movements: a musical idee fixe. From here on there is an ebb and flow of intensity in dynamics, tempi, and shape of the lines that climb and fall as the lover contemplates the love object. The motive is transformed over and over; it then returns quietly as the spent dreamer drifts to sleep.
Movement two depicts a ball. Of course, there is grand waltzing, with the harp used prominently.
Again the love melody returns, but this time in ¾ to fit the setting. The waltz is frenetic at times, mirroring the poet’s anxiety.
Titled “In the Country,” the third movement opens with a little dialogue between the English horn and the oboe. The bucolic setting and the piping shepherds briefly give peace to the plagued poet. Birds sweetly chirp. The natural harmony, suggested by duets in thirds, is, however, upset by the return of the love motive, creating a storm of doubt in the devoted artist. At the end comes the English horn solo, which is answered, ominously, not by his partner, but by thunder.
The fourth movement begins with martial timpani: the poet, who, under the influence of the opium, imagines that, out of jealousy, he has killed his beloved and is on his way to the scaffold. Running lines in the strings and the bassoon, whose color is rather eerie, play under the square, precise steps of the condemned. The mood of the movement is alternately controlled and solemn or passionate.
Near the end, the clarinet plays the love theme, a pleasingly painful reminder to the poet of whom he has murdered. The guillotine falls, and the astute listener can hear a head roll.
Concluding the symphony is “Dream of a Witches’ Sabbath.” The poet’s funeral is characterized by growling in the low strings, dying winds, and ghoulish galumphing by kettledrums and winds. Witches, trolls, and goblins have all gathered for the event. The love tune returns, cheapened and distorted by a mocking clarinet and oboe. Those in attendance seem not to be praising the dead artist but rather having fun at his expense. (Of course, this may be the lovestruck Berlioz’s musical selfpunishment for having such vengeful thoughts in the first place!) Chimes try to provide some dignity, and the familiar “Dies Irae” tune (Day of Wrath) makes an appearance in the tubas; a fugue attempts to organize the situation; but everything else remains unbuttoned and derisive.

about the artists
KALA RAMNATH
Maestro Kala Ramnath, with her ‘Singing Violin’ stands among the world’s finest, most inspirational instrumentalists. Her playing has been featured on the Grammy-nominated Miles from India project, and her compositions have appeared on the Grammy-winning album In 27 Pieces and the Kronos Quartet’s 50 For The Future. The UK-based Songlines magazine hailed Kala Ramnath as one of the 50 world’s best instrumentalists and selected album Kala as one of its 50 best recordings. She was the first Indian violinist ever to be featured in the violin Bible, The Strad. She was the subject of a solo essay in the third edition of The Encyclopedia- Rough Guide to World Music. Her contributions feature in Hollywood soundtracks like the Oscarnominated Blood Diamond and many more.
Born into a dynasty of prodigious musical talent, one which has given Indian music such violin legends as Prof. T.N. Krishnan and Dr. N. Rajam, Kala’s violinistic vision began manifesting early. Recognizing her innate talent, her astute grandfather, Vidwan A. Narayan Iyer, took her under his tutelage. Thus began her most auspicious journey to astounding renown and international acclaim.
She also became a pre-eminent disciple of the legendary vocalist Pandit Jasraj. During this mentorship, Kala began formulating a voice unlike other Indian or non-Indian violinists. Justifiably, her voice came to be dubbed ‘Singing Violin’.
Acknowledged as a virtuoso of staggering proportions, Kala has performed at the most prestigious world stages and music festivals in India.
Kala has been bestowed the ‘A Top’ grade by India’s Radio and Television and is one of the youngest artists to have achieved this honor. She is the recipient of many awards — notable among them are the ‘Rashtriya Kumar Gandharva Sanman’, ‘Pandit Jasraj Gaurav Puraskar’, the ‘Sur Ratna’, and most notably of all, the Sangeet Natak Academy Puraskar.
An established name in the world music scene, Kala today is keen to enrich the lives of underprivileged children through music in the form of her foundation, ‘Kalashree’.
