WELCOME

GREETINGS FROM THE LA PHIL The start of the Bowl season marks the official beginning of summer for generations of music lovers across Los Angeles. This year, we celebrate the LA Phil’s 95th Bowl season and Gustavo Dudamel’s seventh as Music & Artistic Director at the Bowl.

The Hollywood Bowl holds special meaning for Dudamel, who made his U.S. debut at the venue just over a decade ago and marked his arrival as Music Director with ¡Bienvenido Gustavo!, a historic, day-long community concert. The Bowl has played host to his most beloved initiatives – from YOLA to Americas & Americans – ever since.

This summer, Dudamel returns with concert performances of Puccini’s beloved Tosca and classic American musical West Side Story. He will be joined by the ever-spectacular pianists Lang Lang and Yuja Wang in performances of Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 and Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue respectively, and round out his appearances with a program of Latin American music.

The classical season also includes the return of LA Phil Associate Conductor Mirga Gražinyte ˙-Tyla with a Beethoven and Ravel program, featuring pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet. Since her stunning Bowl debut in 2014, Mirga has become one of the mostwatched young conductors in the world and, earlier this year, was appointed Music Director of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra – a position famously held by Sir Simon Rattle and Andris Nelsons, among others.

Joining a roster of classical music’s finest performers are critically acclaimed artists from the worlds of jazz, world music, Broadway, and pop. We are thrilled to welcome back Principal Conductor of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra Thomas Wilkins, as well as legendary musician Herbie Hancock in his seventh season as Creative Chair for Jazz.

Thank you for joining us this evening and for making the Hollywood Bowl your summertime music destination.

Enjoy the concert.

Finally! It’s time for the Hollywood Bowl season. Time to come to this magical place that defines summer for so many of us.

Those of you who have been with us over past years know that the Hollywood Bowl tries to introduce something new with each summer season. What’s new this year is Hollywood Bowl Food + Wine. An evening at the Bowl is more than a great concert. It’s an entire experience when you add dinner with your family, a glass of wine with friends, or some popcorn on a movie night. Our new culinary team, led by local restaurateurs Suzanne Goin and Caroline Styne of Lucques, a.o.c., Tavern, and The Larder, have reimagined the Bowl food experience in order to provide something for all tastes and every tradition. Whether dining at one of our on-site restaurants, ordering supper in your box seats, or grabbing something from our street food options or marketplaces for your picnic, it’s fresh, new, and delicious! We offer special congratulations to Suzanne Goin on receiving the 2016 James Beard Award for Outstanding Chef! How lucky we are to have her at the Bowl.

As always, we extend our thanks to all members of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, County Chief Executive Office, the Department of Parks and Recreation, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and the Los Angeles County Arts Commission.

We acknowledge our foundation, corporate, and media partners who provide such immense support to each concert you enjoy on the Bowl stage.

This beautiful Los Angeles County Park has been the summer home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic for 95 years and host to thousands of artists in all genres of music. We continue the tradition this year and hope you will join us often. Thank you for being here with us tonight and all summer.

Welcome back, and enjoy the show!

A MESSAGE FROM SUPERVISOR SHEILA KUEHL

I am delighted to welcome you all to our wonderful Hollywood Bowl. This Summer 2016 concert season sets out a rich and varied lineup of pop, jazz, classical, Broadway, and, of course, fireworks!

I am the proud steward of many great public institutions in L.A. County, but the Bowl is very special to me.

As the largest natural outdoor amphitheater in the country, and one of the jewels in our renowned collection of unique and celebrated arts venues, the Bowl is an architectural icon in its own right. For nearly 100 years, residents and visitors have come to the Bowl to enjoy these incredible performances under the stars.

I have been coming here every summer since I can remember, and there are few things I love more than a summer night at the Bowl – good food and music with friends and family. So, whether you are a long-time or first-time concertgoer, add to your storehouse of great Bowl memories by making some new ones tonight.

They will last you a lifetime!

Thank you so much for your support. I am proud and grateful to have been given the opportunity to represent and serve the District that contains this great Los Angeles icon. My best to everyone for an enjoyable program!

Sheila Kuehl Supervisor, Third District County of Los Angeles

GUSTAVO DUDAMEL As an internationally renowned symphonic and operatic conductor, Gustavo Dudamel is motivated by a profound belief in music’s power to unite and inspire. He currently serves as Music & Artistic Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Music Director of the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, and the impact of his leadership extends from the greatest concert stages to classrooms, cinemas, and innovative digital platforms around the world. Dudamel also appears as guest conductor with some of the world’s most famous musical institutions: in 2017, he tours Europe with the Berlin Philharmonic and is the youngest-ever conductor to lead the Vienna Philharmonic’s famous New Year’s Day Concert, watched annually by over 50 million people in 90 countries.

In September, he will enter his eighth season as Music & Artistic Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic; his contract has been extended to the end of the 2021/2022 season. At Dudamel’s initiative, the Los Angeles Philharmonic has dramatically expanded the scope of its community outreach programs, including most notably the creation of Youth Orchestra Los Angeles (YOLA), influenced by the philosophy of Venezuela’s admired El Sistema, which encourages social development through music. With YOLA and diverse local educational initiatives, Dudamel brings music to children in underserved communities of Los Angeles. These programs have in turn inspired similar efforts throughout the United States, as well as in Sweden (Hammarkullen) and Scotland (Raploch).

As Music Director, his 18th season, of the entire El Sistema project in Venezuela, he continues to lead the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra in Venezuela as well as on tour.

Recordings, broadcasts, and digital innovations are also fundamental to Dudamel’s passionate advocacy for universal access to music. A Deutsche Grammophon artist since 2005, Grammy winner Gustavo Dudamel has numerous recordings on the label, as well as many video/DVD

releases that capture the excitement of significant moments of his musical life. He has independently produced an all-Wagner recording available exclusively for download, among others.

Gustavo Dudamel is one of the most decorated conductors of his generation.

He received the Americas Society Cultural Achievement Award in 2016, and the 2014 Leonard Bernstein Lifetime Achievement Award for the Elevation of Music in Society from the Longy School. In 2013 he was named Musical America’s Musician of the Year and inducted into the Gramophone Hall

of Fame. Other awards include the 2010 Eugene McDermott Award in the Arts at MIT; 2009 Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and being named one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people; and the 2008 “Q” Prize from Harvard. Additionally, he has received several honorary doctorates.

He was born in 1981 in Venezuela, and access to music for all has been the cornerstone of Gustavo’s philosophy both professionally and philanthropically.

A BOUT THE LA PHIL

LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC The Los Angeles Philharmonic, under the leadership of Music & Artistic Director Gustavo Dudamel, is invested in a tradition of the new, through a commitment to foundational works and adventurous explorations. Both at home and abroad, the Philharmonic is leading the way in ground-breaking programming. 2015/16 marks the orchestra’s 97th season.

More than 250 concerts are either performed or presented by the Philharmonic each season at its two iconic venues: Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Hollywood Bowl.

During its 30-week winter subscription season at Walt Disney Concert Hall, the LA Phil creates festivals, artist residencies, and other thematic programs designed to enhance the symphonic music experience and delve further into certain artists’ or composers’ work.

The organization’s commitment to the music of our time is evident throughout the season programming, as well as in the exhilarating Green Umbrella series and the LA Phil’s extensive commissioning initiatives.

Since 2003, the LA Phil’s home has been the inimitable Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall, which embodies the energy, imagination, and creative spirit of the city of Los Angeles and its orchestra.

Praise for both the design and the acoustics of the Hall has been effusive.

The orchestra’s involvement with Los Angeles extends far beyond symphony concerts in a concert hall, with performances in schools, churches, and neighborhood centers of a vastly diverse community. Among its wide-ranging education initiatives is Youth Orchestra LA (YOLA). Inspired by Venezuela’s revolutionary El Sistema, the LA Phil and its community partners provide free instruments, intensive music training, and academic support to over 700 students from underserved neighborhoods.

Always inspired to expand its cultural offerings, the LA Phil each season produces concerts featuring distinguished artists in recital, jazz, world music, songbook, and visiting orchestra performances, in addition to

special holiday concerts and series of chamber music, organ recitals, and Baroque music.

Through an ongoing partnership with Deutsche Grammophon, the orchestra has a substantial catalog of concerts available online. In 2011, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Gustavo Dudamel won a Grammy for Best Orchestral Performance for their recording of the Brahms Symphony No. 4.

The Los Angeles Philharmonic was founded by William Andrews Clark, Jr., who established the city’s first permanent symphony orchestra in 1919. Walter Henry Rothwell became its first Music Director, serving until 1927; since then, ten renowned conductors have served in that capacity: Georg Schnéevoigt (1927-1929); Artur Rodzinski (1929-1933); Otto Klemperer (1933-1939); Alfred Wallenstein (19431956); Eduard van Beinum (1956-1959); Zubin Mehta (1962-1978); Carlo Maria Giulini (1978-1984); André Previn (19851989); Esa-Pekka Salonen (1992-2009); and Gustavo Dudamel (2009-present).

TWENTY YEARS AND COUNTING: A CONVERSATION WITH NICHOLAS McGEGAN

BY DENNIS BADE It was 20 years ago this month that one of the mainstays of summers at the Hollywood Bowl, Nicholas McGegan, made his first appearances in Cahuenga Pass leading the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Tuesday, August 13, 1996, the program offered Mozart’s dramatic Piano Concerto No. 20 with soloist Robert Levin and Schubert’s Symphony No. 5.

Thursday, August 15, brought choral works

by Bach (Magnificat) and Mozart (Requiem) with the LA Master Chorale.

Much has changed in the ensuing years, including an entirely new shell and a nearly new orchestra, with personnel changes bringing fresh talent to the Philharmonic each year. But some things do not change: this month McGegan returns, and the primary focus for Tuesday will be Handel, but the same Mozart concerto reappears Thursday, this time with soloist Garrick Ohlsson.

BACK IN THE DAY… McGegan recalls those 1996 rehearsals and concerts with some amusement.

“I remember the Schubert very well.

Ernest Fleischmann was in charge then, of course, and during rehearsal he was tinkering with the sound. We were playing away and suddenly we heard loud flutes or whatever. It was the same concerto with Bob Levin as this summer with Garrick; I’m working with Levin again this summer in Mozart Piano Concerto No. 24 at the Sarasota Festival.”

He notes with pride, “I have maintained close contacts with lots of friends of longstanding. In 1996 it was the LA Master Chorale and now again 20 years later it’s a pleasure to be working with the same chorus.

“One amusing recollection from that first summer was in the Bach Magnificat, where there is an alto solo, accompanied by two flutes, about ‘the rich shall be led away.’

During that music a wine bottle fell and

rolled down the steps, and the flutists, the alto, and I (all of us susceptible to getting the giggles) were all trying NOT to laugh, which was very difficult.”

The spectrum of music McGegan has performed here over the years has ranged from Arne to Piazzolla, by way of Rameau, Vivaldi, and Bottesini, along with the expected Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, and Mendelssohn, but even the “standards” have been spiced in various ways. The conductor recalls a favorite: “Something a bit unusual and fun was the salsa version of The Four Seasons. Violinist Pekka Kuusisto jammed with the salsa band.” That was in 2006.

The irrepressible high spirits that make McGegan such a favorite with audiences

and musicians alike also find expression in the conductor’s words of admiration for the Philharmonic. “I feel extremely lucky to have had the opportunity for regular visits with the LA Phil, which is fabulous; over the years there has been a huge influx of young players, and the orchestra has gone from great to greatest.”

His comment prompts a question about how the orchestra has adapted over the decades to the approach of an early-music specialist. “What has changed in these 20 years is that musicians then had little experience of period instruments. Now many of the younger players play them and certainly have heard them. It is no longer a foreign language for them. continued on pg. 28

“My job is to make sure the music is in good order and there’s not too much to discuss, because there’s no time for that.

It needs to be very well organized and you have a fantastic music library and the orchestra is well-prepared. My job is to encourage them.”

AUG 30 & SEP 1

PREPARING A PAIR OF PROGRAMS A suitably festive program has been assembled for the first of McGegan’s concerts this month, Tuesday, August 16. In addition to a healthy serving of Handel arias and choruses, the program also includes a suite of the famous Water Music and the complete Music for the Royal Fireworks. What were the factors involved in those plans?

“We settled on Handel for this summer once we confirmed that Susan Graham was available. She sang at a PBO [Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra, which McGegan has been directing for just over 30 years] Gala last year. As a matter of fact, she is getting married this summer. She is an L.A. favorite, and I am thrilled she will be here as part of this program, which has all the hits, including the ‘Hallelujah’ Chorus. I can’t wait.”

An intriguing program of works by Weber, Mozart, and Schumann devised for Thursday, August 18, represents the latest of many shared ventures bringing together the LA Phil and the Getty Institute. As McGegan explains, “The Getty / LA Phil collaboration was the result of a happy alignment of the planets. [French painter Théodore] Rousseau had musicians as friends and loved music, so we have done some video and I have selected a playlist of music for Getty visitors to the Rousseau exhibit. The Bowl concert includes music the artist loved: “Oberon is filled with twilight wood scenes, the sort Rousseau painted. The ‘Romantic’ Mozart concerto [No. 20] was the favorite of that time. Schumann never went to Paris, but his ‘Rhenish’ Symphony is a series of paintings in music. We are using the new edition of the Schumann, which I have done before.”

Will his period-influenced approach to this Romantic score be different? “I will wallow less than some. I like the lean approach to such music. I provide my own music, and the parts are marked. What I want is in the music.”

Dennis Bade is Associate Editor for the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association.

OPENING NIGHT

STEELY DAN PLAYS TO SOLD-OUT CROWD

The Hollywood Bowl launched its 95th season with the sold-out 2016 Opening Night Concert, featuring Grammy-winning jazz/rock band Steely Dan, Saturday, June 18.

Steely Dan, led by founding members Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, first appeared at the Bowl in 1996, and more recently in a 2015 performance. The band, which has sold more than 40 million albums and helped define contemporary American music, shared the stage with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra (HBO) led by Thomas Wilkins, in its first-ever orchestral collaboration.

The Opening Night at the Hollywood Bowl benefit concert raised a record-breaking $1.7 million for the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s many education and community programs, which serve more than 150,000 youth, families, and teachers every year. The Composer Fellowship Program is included in these initiatives, along with Symphonies for Schools and Gustavo Dudamel’s signature program, Youth Orchestra LA (YOLA).

The celebratory evening began with Wilkins leading the HBO in Los Angeles-based composer Peter Boyer’s Silver Fanfare, during which a montage of highlights from past Hollywood Bowl Opening

Nights was shown on the Bowl’s video screens. After officially welcoming the audience to the special night, Wilkins introduced the Opening Night Title Sponsor, Wells Fargo; Sponsorship Chairs Lisa Stevens, David DiCristofaro, and Jonathan Weedman; LA Phil Gala Committee Chairs Larry, Lisa, and Robyn Field; and Gala Co-Chairs Alexandra Glickman and Gayle Whittemore. The orchestra continued with Bernstein’s Candide Overture.

Wilkins then spoke of the important role of music education in shaping the lives of young people and the background of the Composer Fellowship Program, an innovative two-year immersion program for high school-age composers. Launching its 10th year, CFP was founded in 2007 by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Steven Stucky.

The program provides young artists with unrivaled access to the world’s leading composers and musicians and gives them the tools necessary to pursue a career in music.

Following a video showcasing CFP highlights, the HBO, led by Wilkins, performed short works by two alumni Fellows, Anderson Alden’s Lift and Katya Richardson’s Fanfare for Orchestra. The compositions by Alden and Richardson – who came onstage to take bows following their respective pieces – were chosen by an all-star panel of professional composers as part of a CFP alumni competition.

The first half of the program concluded with the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts (LACHSA) Vocal Ensemble, along with the HBO and Wilkins, performing Stephen Sondheim’s “Children Will Listen” from Into the Woods.

The second half of the concert began with Steely Dan taking the stage, joined by the HBO and Wilkins, for their set, which featured arrangements by Vince Mendoza.

Songs included the band’s memorable hits “Night by Night,” “The Caves of Altamira,” “Green Earrings,” “The Royal Scam,” “Aja,” “Deacon Blues,” “Home at Last,” “Josie,” and “Third World Man.” A spectacular fireworks display lit up the summer sky as band and orchestra played “Bodhisattva.” For the encore, Steely Dan returned to the stage for “Kid Charlemagne” with the HBO. A number of film and television personalities, as well as elected and other civic officials, were present to enjoy the benefit concert, including Matt Bomer with partner Simon Halls, Steven Weber, Mark Duplass, California State Assembly Member Adrin Nazarian, and Los Angeles City Councilmember David Ryu, Los Angeles Philharmonic Board Chair Diane B. Paul, Los Angeles Philharmonic CEO & President Deborah Borda, and Los Angeles Philharmonic Executive Director Gail Samuel.

Special thanks to Wells Fargo for its generous support of Opening Night.

COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION

NEWS FROM DIRECTOR JOHN WICKER As you look forward to a wonderful evening under the stars at the iconic Hollywood Bowl, I am proud to say that the Bowl is one of our 179 County parks. The Department is extremely pleased to operate the Bowl through a collaborative partnership with the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

Our guiding principle in the Department of Parks and Recreation is Parks Make Life Better! Our team of dedicated employees and volunteers work hard every day to ensure we offer safe, clean, and beautiful facilities with a wide variety of programming opportunities.

As we move forward to ensure Parks Make Life Better!, we are undergoing a series of initiatives to enhance the recreational opportunities in Los Angeles County.

We recently completed a historic and significant undertaking of a comprehensive Countywide Parks and Recreation Needs Assessment. Under the direction of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, with 40 Steering Committee Members appointed

by Board offices, a Technical Advisory Committee, and representatives from cities, advocacy groups, community-based organizations, subject matter experts, and community members at large, a total of 148 community workshops were conducted in just 14 months. This unprecedented effort resulted in the documentation of the highest needs for existing parks and recreation facilities in cities and unincorporated areas, and it clearly identified the scope, scale, and location of park needs throughout Los Angeles County. The information, which will help

direct future park-funding opportunities, can be viewed at lacountyparkneeds.org.

Efforts are underway to automate our recreational programming and park rentals.

So everyone will soon be able to easily access and sign up for low cost swim lessons and other programs online along with reserving one of our meeting rooms for your next event.

And, if you haven’t had a chance, please take a look at our Trails website at trails.lacounty.gov. This comprehensive website provides information on more than 200 miles of multi-use trails within Los Angeles County including elevation, weather, what you will see on the trail, and much more.

Thank you for letting me share information about some of our ongoing efforts and commitment to recreational opportunities with you and now, please sit back and enjoy the show!

Picnic Bags for the Hollywood Bowl

A SUMMER RECIPE This summer the L.A. food world is alive with buzz about the new food and beverage services at the Bowl. Hollywood Bowl Food + Wine has been developed by the LA Phil with The Lucques Group’s James Beard Award-winning chef Suzanne Goin and business partner Caroline Styne. You may see a run-down of the services on page 36.

Here we offer an entrée from them, with comments from Suzanne and Caroline.

• 3 pounds hanger steak, trimmed • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced chile de árbol • 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper • 1 tablespoon thyme leaves • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened • 2 tablespoons crumbled Roquefort or other good blue cheese • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut in half • 1/2 lemon for juicing • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley • 1 tablespoon sliced opal basil • 6 ounces cleaned arugula • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

GRILLED HANGER STEAK WITH ROQUEFORT BUTTER, CHERRY TOMATOES, AND ARUGULA • SERVES 6 • EASY / MEDIUM DIFFICULT — IT’S JUST COOKING THE MEAT CORRECTLY • PREP TIME: 15 MIN • COOK TIME: 20 MIN

Hanger steak is one of my favorite cuts – it has great meaty flavor and satisfying toothy chew. Always a favorite at a.o.c, it works just as well room temperature as it does right off the grill. Just remember to slice the meat against the grain – otherwise the meat can be super chewy. —Suzanne The steak in this recipe gets a big punch of flavor from the luscious Roquefort butter.

For me, the ideal pairing is a dark, juicy Syrah from California’s Central Coast.

These wines are loaded with black fruit notes and aspects of meat and black pepper that are the perfect companion to this summer picnic entrée. —Caroline

+ When you are ready to cook the meat, brush it lightly with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt. Place the steak on the hottest part of the grill, to get a nice sear on the outside. Cook about 3 minutes, turn the meat a quarter-turn, and cook another minute or two. Turn the meat over, and move it to a cooler spot on the grill.

Cook another minute or two for medium rare. Rest the steaks on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.

+ In a small bowl, season the cherry tomatoes with salt and pepper and toss them with 2 tablespoons olive oil, a generous squeeze of lemon juice, and the parsley and basil.

+

S th

Scatter the arugula on a platter, slice the steak against the grain, and lay the slices over the arugula. Top with dollops of the Roquefort butter and spoon the cherry tomatoes over the top.

Find out more!

Visit the Hollywood Bowl Museum for a new exhibition, “Attention Pilots: Hollywood Bowl and the Skies Above.”

Opening June 7, 2016, the exhibition looks into the unique and long-standing efforts by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association, which operates the Hollywood Bowl, to keep the skies above the venue clear. On display are vintage posters and archival video clips.

A natural amphitheater in a major metropolis, with few signs of surrounding urbanity, is a rare thing. This exhibition looks into the behind-the-scenes efforts by the Los Angeles Philharmonic to preserve one of the key environmental features of the Hollywood Bowl – a quiet oasis where live music can be heard under the stars in the middle of the buzzing city.

The exhibition’s core visual component comes from the ‘no fly’ posters produced since the 1970s by the LA Phil. These posters advise pilots of low-flying airplanes and helicopters to stay away from the venue and reduce noise when the searchlights are on. The exhibition also includes hundreds of small colorful planes hovering above the space between the two floors of the Museum.

The Hollywood Bowl Museum is open Tuesday through Friday, 10 AM to 5 PM (off season).

Summer season hours are Tuesday – Saturday 10 AM until show time and Sundays 4 PM until show time.

The Museum is located on Peppertree Lane immediately on your left as you enter the Bowl grounds from Highland Avenue.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

NOTES BY JOHN HENKEN Astor Piazzolla, almost inevitably, is the tie that binds this Argentine program. Piazzolla learned to play the bandoneón (the button accordion brought to Argentina by German immigrants) as a child in New York. When his family returned to Argentina, he found work in several prominent bands, eventually forming his own tango orchestra. After study with Ginastera and Boulanger, he began to make a radical break with traditional tango music, focusing his work after 1955 on his own small ensembles – tangos for listening rather than for dancing, as he once said, although dance companies around the world use his visceral, highly kinetic music. Most of his roughly 750 works are tangos, but he also composed the musical María de Buenos Aires, several concertos, film scores, and pieces for string quartet.

“I had two great teachers,” Piazzolla said, “Nadia Boulanger and Alberto Ginastera. A third I found in the cold room of a pensión, in the cabarets of the ’40s, in the cafés with boxes and orchestras, in the people yesterday and today, in the sound of the streets. This third teacher is called Buenos Aires: it taught me the secrets of the tango.”

TANGAZO Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992) Piazzolla enjoyed tango-related puns and allusions, and Tangazo joins a long list of works such as Tangus Dei, Tangata del alba, Libertango, Tristango, etc. Tangazo opens with chromatic lines grumbling up from basses and cellos into an introduction of searing harmonic intensity. Flute, clarinet, and percussion usher in a jittery tango, first given to the oboe. There are poised lyrical episodes, including a slow section featuring horn solos, but there is an edge to this music not softened by the dying ending.

Or at least there should be. Tangazo was first performed in 1970 in Washington, D.C., by the Ensemble Musical de Buenos Aires, not entirely to Piazzolla’s satisfaction.

“The Ensemble Musical de Buenos Aires gave a good account of it,” he later recalled, “but somewhere it lost a pinch of

salt and pepper. Those classical musicians are like that – they are from Buenos Aires, Argentineans, and yet it seems that the tango shames them. That is an old division that exists between the classical and the popular. The musicians of the Colón [the legendary Buenos Aires opera house] look at those of the tango as if they were trash.

And it should not be so. It is a big lie. Some of the musicians of the Colón deserve to be in the worst nightclub in Buenos Aires.

As I have played in some of those places, I can speak with knowledge of the subject.”

ASTOR PIAZZOLLA

CONCERTO FOR GUITAR AND ORCHESTRA NO. 2, CONCIERTO DE LA AMISTAD Lalo Schifrin (b. 1932) “I could say it like the tango says: three friends we always were – Lalo Schifrin, Waldo de los Ríos, and I,” Piazzolla said a few years before he died. “One went the jazz way: Lalo. Another chose folk music: Waldo. And I got into tango.

“I was the first to emigrate, in 1954. Lalo I believe left in ’58, also for the United States. Waldo ended up in Spain in the 1960s. We had many things in common.

None of us got stuck in the sentimentality of the nostalgia for dulce de leche, the café, or the barbecue. We went looking for a destiny that was closed to us here.

“Lalo was drowning in weekend dance gigs. Today he is a figure on a worldwide scale. Three years ago [1987] we reunited [Schifrin had played piano for Piazzolla in Paris in 1955] to record my Concerto for Bandoneón and Orchestra, something that was a thrill for both us.” (That recording, with the composer as soloist and Schifrin conducting the Orchestra of St. Luke’s on Nonesuch, also includes Piazzolla’s Three Tangos for Bandoneón and Orchestra and is still in print.)

Schifrin did indeed go the jazz way, coming to the U.S. at the invitation of Dizzy Gillespie, and he is still, 26 years after Piazzolla’s remarks, a figure known worldwide, primarily for his film and television scores. Among his less well-known scores is the 1998 Carlos Saura film Tango, which included a survey of earlier tangos, among them Piazzolla’s Calambre, as well as original jazz tangos by Schifrin.

LALO SCHIFRIN

Schifrin also has a small but distinguished body of concert music, including a guitar concerto written for Angel Romero, which the guitarist premiered at the Hollywood Bowl in 1984, with Neal Stulberg leading the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

“The first time I heard Angel Romero’s guitar playing, I was mesmerized not only by his impeccable technique, but also by the passion he has invested in every single note,” Schifrin has written in the score for his new guitar concerto, the Concierto de la Amistad (Concerto of Friendship) dedicated to Romero. “That is why I wrote for him my first guitar concerto a few

years back, which he recorded with the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

“But that was not enough for me. Now I have decided to offer him a second concerto in order to continue our musical journey together. This will be not only our tribute to our long friendship, but also an invitation to music lovers, all over, to join us.”

“I lost contact with [Schifrin] for a while, but he resurfaced recently,” Romero said in a Classical Guitar magazine interview.

“He called and said that he felt inspired to write me a second concerto. I thought it was a great idea. He titled it Concierto de la Amistad. It’s a fantastic work. He finished it in just two months.”

The new work stands in the line of its older sibling in its lively rhythmic and metrical games, fresh tunes, and remarkably imaginative scoring, full of enchanting orchestral solos and duos, with the harp a frequent shadow and alter ego to the guitar. It is cast in three clearly and classically structured movements, each with subsections and cadenzas.

Also like the older concerto, it makes aural reference to a wide range of influences, particularly Rodrigo – and Rodrigo’s recontextualization of music by the Spanish Baroque composer/guitarist Gaspar Sanz.

One reference, important in this context, comes at the end of the guitar’s first solo, with the heavy plucking of the instrument’s six open strings, bottom to top. This is a gesture found in a lot of guitar music, but that sonority is also one of the prime musical symbols that Ginastera used in his early music, including the ballet Estancia, to evoke Argentine gaucho culture.

thing that I would further develop with Nadia Boulanger in Paris. I spent almost five years with him, and I remember that time not only because of the technique I learned but the humanism he taught me.

“Alberto used to say that a musician could not just stay in his scores. He would say that a musician has to know about painting, literature, theater, film. For me this was like getting an electric shock. In those days I was playing with [tango great Aníbal] Troilo, and with the majority of my colleagues I could only talk about soccer and gambling.”

Estancia had been commissioned by Lincoln Kirstein and his American Ballet Caravan, which disbanded in 1942, leaving the new work in unstaged limbo for ten years. Ginastera, however, extracted this suite of four dances from it in 1943 as a concert work.

As might be expected, the music is vigorously, almost relentlessly, rhythmic.

An estancia is a ranch or farm, and the first dance presents the quite athletic farm workers. Lyrical respite comes with the “Danza del trigo,” wheat fields gently swaying, but the boisterous, energetic workers return with “Los peones de hacienda” (The Ranch Hands). The malambo, a traditional gaucho dance competition, was another national musical symbol for Ginastera, and he wrote a breathtaking hyper-malambo for the Estancia finale.

LA MUERTE DEL ÁNGEL ADIÓS NONINO OBLIVION LIBERTANGO Astor Piazzolla

FOUR DANCES FROM ESTANCIA Alberto Ginastera (1916-1983) Alberto Ginastera was only three years out of the National Conservatory himself, when Piazzolla turned up on his doorstep in 1941 as his first pupil, following up a chance recommendation for a teacher.

Ginastera had already achieved a notable success with his ballet Panambí and was at work on another, Estancia.

“Ginastera was the teacher who gave me the foundation,” Piazzolla later recalled. “With him I learned orchestration, still one of my strong points, and every-

From the 1960s comes La muerte del ángel (from a series of ‘angel’ pieces, first recorded in 1962), one of the distinctive pieces with which Piazzolla shook the conservative world of tango. “Nuevo tango = tango + tragedy + comedy + whorehouse” was an equation Piazzolla used to define his new direction. To that could be added greater harmonic sophistication – chromatic lines over chains of dominant sequences, much like Baroque ground bass forms – and an elusive jazz swing. Most are in an A-B-A song form, with a poignant lyrical core surrounded by Piazzolla’s character-

istically slashing abstraction of the basic tango rhythm.

Piazzolla was in Puerto Rico on a not-very-successful tour in 1959 when his father (“Nonino,” the Italian-Argentinian equivalent of “Grampa”) died in a bicycle accident in the family hometown of Mar del Plata. He wrote this magnificently nostalgic elegy in New York a little later, based on an earlier tango also named for his father.

1982 was a very productive year for Piazzolla. Among other activities, including a hugely popular performance in Buenos Aires at the height of the Falklands War, he travelled to Italy to record his score for Marco Bellochio’s film Henry IV, starring Marcello Mastroianni as the Mad King and Claudia Cardinale as Matilda. The elegiac Oblivion, one of his most often recorded and arranged works, comes from that score.

Libertango was the title track for a recording of mostly new music that Piazzolla made in Italy in 1974 with a small orchestra. (Adiós Nonino was also on the disc in a new arrangement; all the other pieces were titled ‘X’tango – Meditango, Undertango, Violentango, Novitango, Amelitango, Tristango.) It is another of Piazzolla’s popular pieces, recorded and arranged by artists ranging from Yo-Yo Ma to Grace Jones.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

For a biography of conductor GUSTAVO DUDAMEL, please see page 18.

Hailed for his superior artistry as an iconic master of the classical guitar, ANGEL ROMERO is heralded by audiences and critics alike in the music world as an eminent soloist and conductor.

As one of the most sought-after musicians on the concert stage, he has appeared in major cultural centers worldwide, including solos with leading orchestras such as the New York Phil-harmonic, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic, the New World Symphony, the Israel Philharmonic, and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra.

As a conductor, Romero has led orchestras around the globe, including the Pittsburgh Symphony, the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, the Royal Philharmonic, the Berlin Symphoniker, the Beijing Philharmonic, the Shanghai Symphony, the Bogotá Philharmonic, and the NDR Radiophilharmonie.

Regardless of his role on stage, his driving intensity and flawless control mark him as a true master of music.

Angel Romero’s performance of Joaquín Rodrigo’s famed Concierto de Aranjuez with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at Walt Disney Concert Hall, under the baton of Gustavo Dudamel, was one of the highlights of Romero’s performances in 2015.

In February 2000, he was presented with the Grand Cross of Isabel la Católica, Spain’s highest national honor, and was knighted Sir Angel Romero in recognition of his astounding musical accomplishments.

In 2007, Angel Romero received the Recording Academy President’s Merit Award from the organization which produces the Grammy awards, for his musical contributions and professional career achievements.

Romero made his debut with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the age of 16, also performing Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez. He grew up under the tutelage of the great composer and together they worked on a special project, the concerto Rincones de España, which Romero composed based on themes that Rodrigo collected and dedicated to him.

One of the biggest highlights of this year for Romero has been the opportunity to rehearse and perform composer Lalo Schifrin’s newest work, Concierto de

la Amistad, a tribute to his friendship with Romero. In Romero’s words: “Lalo Schifrin and I have had a very long and dear friendship. To say that I love and admire him as a composer would be an understatement. I consider him to be like a brother and mentor, but I also look up to Lalo with the knowledge that he is truly a treasure of music.”

SETH ASARNOW, a native of the Bay Area, has a repertoire consisting of hundreds of tangos. His bandoneón playing is heard on recordings that range in style from traditional tango to pop. Asarnow has composed film scores and has played on film soundtracks, and he works regularly with some of the finest tango dancers in the world.

He made his debut with the San Francisco Symphony in 2007 and performed with them again in January 2014. Other performance highlights include Piazzolla’s Four Seasons with Donald Runnicles and members of the San Francisco Opera Orchestra, as well as concerts with orchestras and chamber ensembles throughout Northern California. He also appeared on NBC’s Dancing with the Stars, performing with the cast of the Broadway show Forever Tango.

Asarnow is also the bandoneonist and musical director of the show Tango Adamor, the Los Angeles Tango Festival, and Nora’s Tango Week, an international festival now in its nineteenth year in the Bay Area. He also directs and performs often with his Sexteto Tipico, one of the few authentic traditional tango groups in the United States.

Seth Asarnow’s musical influences include Aníbal Troilo, Leopoldo Federico, and Astor Piazzolla, whom he met in 1989.

TANGO BUENOS AIRES has become one of Argentina’s great cultural exports, known throughout the Americas, Europe, and the Far East as the most authentic and uncompromising representative of the tango.

Tango Buenos Aires was created for the Jazmines Festival at the famous Buenos Aires cabaret Michelangelo by renowned composer and tango director Osvaldo Requena. The company met with tremendous success and was immediately added to the season of the Teatro General San Martín Municipal.

In 1986, the company traveled to the United States in order to represent Argentina at the Latin-American Festival, which took place at the Delacorte Theatre in New

York City’s Central Park during the month of August. This event was followed by an extensive tour throughout the United States, along with trips to Mexico, Puerto Rico, and El Salvador, followed by a return to the United States via Miami and San Francisco. In December 1986, the group appeared on NHK television in Tokyo, and it completed 62 performances throughout Japan, as well as a CD recording for Sony entitled Quejas de Bandoneón.

In 1987, the company undertook a lengthy tour of the principal cities of Argentina, performing at the Spring Festival in Bariloche, the Galli Auditorium in Mendoza, the Municipal Theatre in Ciudad de Rosario, in Santa Rosa La Pampa, and in the city of Rio Negro. The company also appeared on television channels for the S.A.D.A.I.C. series and in the series sponsored by the Argentinean Ministry of Culture before ending the season at the Auditorio in Mar del Plata.

In March 1989, the company traveled to Berlin and Frankfurt, Germany, to Granada, Spain for the International Tango Festival, and to Madrid for performances at the Teatro de la Villa and at the National Auditorium. In October 1989 the company began a Latin-American tour, appearing in Quito and Guayaquil in Ecuador, in Mexico, and ending in Los Angeles.

In March 1990, Tango Buenos Aires participated in the International Festival in Adelaide, Australia and in April, the company performed at the New Zealand Festival. In June 1991, the company traveled to Southeast Asia, giving performances in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Bangkok.

Under the patronage of the President of Argentina, the company introduced the tango to Indonesia for the first time ever.

In 1992 Tango Buenos Aires performed in Santiago, Chile and on Chilean television, with further performances in Viña del Mar and a subsequent trip to Brazil, performing at the Memorial.

1993 was a year of extensive travel in Argentina, Spain (Granada, Madrid, and Andalucia), Finland, and Chile (Vitacura, Santiago, Viña del Mar, and Valparaiso).

Beginning in November, the company toured Malaysia, Japan, and China. In Beijing, the company hosted a series of unprecedented master classes and residencies with Chinese dancers at the Dance University of Beijing, teaching the origin and evolution of the tango to further international understanding and cooperation.

In 1994, Tango Buenos Aires traveled to Spain, performing for the third time at the sixth International Festival in Granada, and also performing at the University and National Auditorium in Madrid. In June, the company took part in performances and master classes at the Kuopio Festival in Finland, and also performed in Copenhagen, followed by another trip to Malaysia.

The company spent most of 1995 performing in Buenos Aires and touring throughout South America, culminating in a season at Buenos Aires’ Museo Fernández Blanco, Teatro General San Martín, and the Teatro Presidente Alvear. In 1996 Tango Buenos Aires toured Portugal and Greece, and ended the year with a tour of Japan that extended into January 1997.

Tango Buenos Aires toured the United States for its first coast-to-coast tour during the 1998/99 season to great critical and popular acclaim.

In June 1999, the renowned pianist Cristian Zárate succeeded Osvaldo Requena as music director, and Pablo Mainetti, one of the world’s great bandoneón players, joined the orchestra. In 2005 Julian Vat, a prolific composer and leading musician, assumed the title of music director. The company returned to North America in the winter of 2003 for a two-and-a-halfmonth tour of the United States. Due to the extraordinary success of this tour, the company returned in the fall of 2007 and winter of 2011 for a two-month coastto-coast tour of the United States. The company returned again in January 2015 and undertook a two-and-a-half-month coast-to-coast tour of the United States and Canada.

Due to the continued artistic and financial success of the previous tours, Tango Buenos Aires will undertake another coastto-coast tour of the United States and Canada in the period September through December 2017 with a brand new program entitled “The Spirit of Argentina.”

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

GLADYS KNIGHT The great ones endure, and Gladys Knight has long been one of the greatest. Very few singers over the last 50 years have matched her unassailable artistry. This seven-time Grammy winner has enjoyed No. 1 hits in pop, gospel, R&B, and Adult Contemporary, and has triumphed in film, television, and live performance.

In her first effort since 2013’s Another Journey, summer 2014 marked the release of Where My Heart Belongs, a new inspiration gospel album. Knight is a two-time Grammy winner in the gospel category, and Where My Heart Belongs recently won an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Gospel Album. Another Journey enjoyed success from the hit “I Who Have Nothing” as well as the up-tempo track “Settle,” produced by Randy Jackson, with whom she previously collaborated on her Grammy-winning album At Last. Knight also enjoyed the success of her song “You and I Ain’t Nothin’ No More,” which appeared over the end credits of the critically acclaimed Lee Daniels film The Butler.

Georgia-born, Knight began performing gospel music at age four in the Mount Mariah Baptist Church and sang as a guest soloist with the Morris Brown College Choir. Three years later, she won the grand prize on television’s “Ted Mack’s Amateur Hour,” and the following year, she, along with her brother Bubba, her sister Brenda, and her cousins William and Elenor Guest, formed The Pips. In 1959, Brenda and Elenor left the group, replaced by cousin Edward Patten and friend Langston George.

The group was renamed Gladys Knight & The Pips, and following George’s departure in 1962, the classic line-up was in place.

The group debuted their first album in 1960, when Knight was just 16. With Knight singing lead and The Pips providing lush harmonies and graceful choreography, the group went on to achieve icon status, having recorded some of the most memorable songs of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

Top 20 hits, like “Every Beat of My Heart,” “Letter Full of Tears,” “I Heard it Through the Grapevine,” and “If I Were Your Woman,” set the stage for an amazing run in the mid-1970s, with Top 10 gold-certified singles like “Neither One of Us (Wants to be the First to Say Goodbye),” “I’ve Got to Use My Imagination,” “Best Thing to Ever Happen to

Me,” and the No. 1 smash “Midnight Train to Georgia” established Gladys Knight and The Pips as the premiere pop/R&B vocal ensemble in the world. The party kept rolling with hits like “On and On” from the Academy Award-nominated soundtrack of Curtis Mayfield’s Claudine, the 1974 comedy about love in the inner city. Knight enjoyed another No. 1 hit in 1985 when she teamed with Stevie Wonder, Elton John, and Dionne Warwick on “That’s What Friends are For.” All told, Knight has recorded more than 38 albums over the years, including the solo albums Good Woman (1991), Just for You (1994), the inspirational Many Different Roads (1999), and At Last (2001).

Her involvement in other creative undertakings, business ventures, and humanitarian activities has been extensive, and has brought her honors from industry and community alike. In 1986, she produced and starred in the Cable Ace Award-winning Sisters in the Name of Love, an HBO special co-starring Dionne Warwick and Patti LaBelle. That same year, she showcased her acting ability when she co-starred with Flip Wilson in the CBS comedy Charlie & Co. Other acting roles followed on such TV shows as Benson, The Jeffersons, and New York Undercover, and

in such television films as Pipe Dreams, An Enemy Among Us, and Desperado. She recorded the title theme for the James Bond movie License to Kill (1989). In 1999, she completed a starring run on Broadway in the smash musical hit Smokey Joe’s Café.

In 1995, Knight earned her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the next year, Gladys Knight & The Pips were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Knight published an autobiography, Between Each Line of Pain and Glory (a line taken from her million-selling recording “Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me”) in 1997, and the next year, she and The Pips were presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame. In 2004, Knight received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the annual BET Awards ceremony.

A humanitarian and philanthropist, Knight has devoted to various worthy causes, including the American Diabetes Association – for which she is a national spokesperson, the American Cancer Society, the Minority AIDS Project, amFAR, and Crisis Intervention. She has been honored by numerous organizations as well, including the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), and

B’Nai Brith, and she is a recent recipient of BET’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

Today, Knight helps oversee her busy career from the Las Vegas headquarters of Shakeji, Inc., her personal entertainment corporation. She is a mother, great-grandmother, performer, and a businesswoman with a spiritual outlook on her life. Her faith in God has been the driving force behind all of Knight’s endeavors, guiding her through her many successes.

TOWER OF POWER’s musical odyssey actually began in 1968 when Emilio Castillo met Stephen “Doc” Kupka in July of that year. When Doc auditioned during a band rehearsal at Emilio’s house, Emilio’s father called him into the kitchen and offered the following advice: “Hire that guy, he’s got something.” Doc and his signature baritone sax sound were now in the band, and on August 13, 1968, Tower of Power, as we know them today, began playing gigs, and soon became very well known in the area.

Many other bands came out of the San Francisco Bay area in the late ’60s. Bands like The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, Big Brother, Journey, Cold Blood, and others all helped to define the “San

Francisco Sound.” Tower of Power has always claimed Oakland, California as their hometown. Playing area venues and making a name for themselves, Tower of Power’s big break was just around the corner.

After playing at a Tuesday night audition at the Fillmore in 1970, Tower was signed to Bill Graham’s San Francisco records and their first album, East Bay Grease, was recorded. All of the compositions were original tunes written by Castillo and Kupka. Their next album, Bump City, was recorded on the Warner Bros. label, and this led to a string of hits and memorable albums that include many of the songs that TOP fans come out in force to hear, even to this day. Over the years, the Tower of Power horns have recorded with hundreds of artists as diverse as Aerosmith, Elton John, Little Feat, Phish, Santana, Heart, and many others, forever infusing the radio airwaves with Tower’s musical DNA. Since the beginning, Tower of Power has never stopped touring and recording.

Always in demand, the band never fails to entertain and amaze their fans. Tower is truly blessed to have a dedicated following that often travels to see the band, and in many cases fans will plan their vacation or work schedule around an appearance of TOP.

Tower celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2008 at a very special reunion show at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco.

In addition to the ten current members of the band, another 20 musicians and vocalists that at one time held a position with the band appeared with them. That show was filmed and is available on DVD. Of the ten current members, Emilio Castillo, Rocco Prestia, Stephen Kupka, and David Garibaldi are four of the band’s founding members. Their dedication to the music, their creative writing, and their original vision still guides Tower of Power.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

LA MER Claude Debussy (1862-1918) “It’s a fact often neglected that music has this over painting, that it can represent all the variations of color and light in one go,” Debussy wrote after finishing La mer in 1905. Debussy was a lifelong admirer of several artists whose maritime paintings come to mind as one listens to La mer, especially J.M.W. Turner and Claude Monet.

Monet’s “Impression, Rising Sun” had introduced the idea of impressionism to Europe, an idea that many contemporaries applied to Debussy’s music. It is telling, however, that Debussy, who never liked being called a musical impressionist, used a Japanese print, Hokusai’s “The Wave,” for the title page of La mer. It is an image whose boiling, foaming sea presents a stunning contrast to the sedate, shimmering waters of Monet’s work. La mer presents both aspects of the sea, taking advantage of the orchestra’s ability to conjure up color and light, as well as the transformation over time of these images that music allows.

Debussy orchestrates the work in planes rather than homogeneously. It’s almost like chamber music on a vast scale. The strings are divided into 12 and even 15 parts at some points, and the score calls, at times, for six solo cellos. Trumpet fanfares present the sea, waves crashing, in all of its grandeur, and flute arabesques seemingly shimmer over its sun-drenched surface.

Such orchestration reaches back into French music of the late 1820s and early 1830s, to a time when what critics then dubbed “the orchestral revolution” was taking place in the hands of composers like Berlioz.

The work is in three sections, which can be viewed as an opening allegro, a scherzo, and a finale. One analysis argues that the opening movement, “From Dawn to Midday on the Sea,” starts with an arch-form introduction followed by an idiosyncratic rondo, a strophic section, a transition, and a coda, with smaller formal divisions in each of these sections. Such rigorous use of form makes the sections almost seem formless, with each having the feeling of a free fantasy. In its alternation of playfulness, majesty, and mystery, Debussy’s music is a stunning orchestral portrait as unpredictable as the sea itself.

FOUR SEA INTERLUDES FROM PETER GRIMES Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) The Sea Interludes from Benjamin Britten’s first successful opera, Peter Grimes, are scene changes by a master of the scene change. They not only take the listener from one physical location to another (at times seeming to go out to sea and back), but also explore the turmoil in the characters’ minds as coastal villagers hound the misanthropic loner fisherman Grimes to self-destruction after the mysterious, but accidental, deaths of two of his apprentices. Because each Interlude in the opera leads into the following scene without pause, Britten rewrote their endings to make them self-contained concert pieces.

“Dawn” bridges the Prologue (following a duet between Peter and Ellen Orford, the schoolteacher he hopes to marry) and the early morning of Act I. Britten divides his orchestra into three choirs: flutes and violins play a high, largely static melody, against which the harp, violas, and clarinets interject shimmering arpeggios. The rest of the orchestra interrupts periodically with ominously surging chords.

In “Sunday Morning,” which begins Act II, large church bells are suggested by clanging thirds from opposing pairs of horns, and later by actual bells. Woodwinds, strings, and trumpets represent smaller bells, while a flute evokes waking birds. A sweeping violin melody at the end is, in the opera, Ellen’s song greeting the morning.

“Moonlight,” which again bridges night and the following day, is the prologue to Act III, after the death of Grimes’ second apprentice. It is an unsettling blend of motion and stasis, built around the “second inversion” chord. In classical concertos it’s the chord on which everything pauses for the cadenza before the end, and it retains a feeling of penultimate-ness. Stringing many such chords together creates a feeling of instability.

“Storm,” from Act I, begins with Grimes outdoors as a storm approaches and ends in a pub where townspeople wait out the same storm. The consoling theme heard when the storm music subsides is the melody to which Grimes has just sung “What harbor shelters peace, away from tidal waves, away from storms?” — Howard Posner

THE FIREBIRD Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) “A glimpse of Tchaikovsky was to become one of my most treasured memories,” said Igor Stravinsky of an event that occurred in 1893, when he was eleven. Throughout his life, the supremely cool, intellectual 20th-century master had an abiding affection for the surpassingly emotional 19th-century composer, and he found occasions in his own music to pay “heartfelt homage to Tchaikovsky’s wonderful talent.” One of the strongest links between the two was the bond of Russian nationalism; another was their natural inclination for ballet music.

Stravinsky, always keenly appreciative of Tchaikovsky’s vast contributions to the literature of music for dance in his three full-length ballets, Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty, and The Nutcracker, must have felt the hand of destiny upon him when asked

by Ballets Russes director Serge Diaghilev to write the score for the ballet, The Firebird, a plum originally intended for Russian composer Anatol Liadov. The latter, unable to produce the music on Diaghilev’s time schedule, forfeited the splendid opportunity. Poor Liadov. Lucky Stravinsky. The ballet, with choreography by Fokine, was premiered in Paris on June 25, 1910, with spectacular results. The world of ballet and the world of music were never to be quite the same again.

It is true that at that time Stravinsky had not yet freed himself from traditionalism, and Firebird’s score shows large traces of Rimsky-Korsakov (his teacher, to whom the work is dedicated) in the luminous brilliance of the orchestration; a plan similar to the one Rimsky used in his opera, The Golden Cockerel, in which the human characters have simple, straightforward themes, the supernatural ones exotic, chromatic motifs; and the use of folk material.

But even with its “old Russian” heritage showing, the score surges with newness and with the stunning and original elements which in his next two ballets, Petrushka and The Rite of Spring, were to be exploited more fully: primitivism; ostinatos – insistently repeated patterns of rhythm or melody, or both; rhythmic dynamism; and pungent harmonies.

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION This production of The Firebird, directed by Janni Younge and choreographed by Jay Pather, is a puppet and dance performance set to Stravinsky’s original score. Janni Younge’s Firebird draws on the symbolism and dramaturgy of Fokine’s original choreography (based on figures from Russian folklore) and reinterprets them in a contemporary South African setting, using larger-than-life puppets and African dance forms.

The Firebird began as a conversation between IMG Artists and Handspring Puppet Company in early 2013. The proposal from IMGA was to create a puppet theater production to be performed to live classical music in large summer concert venues throughout the U.S. As the idea took hold The Firebird was settled on partly for its powerfully rich and moving musical score and partly for its association with mythic content, a world that has profound resonances with that of puppetry.

Janni Younge Productions’ interpretation of The Firebird has emerged through a creative collaboration spanning the last two years. This process began with an extensive series of conversations between Janni Younge and Jay Pather. As notebooks filled with sketches, storyboards, and plans, the concept began to take shape. The first performance workshop was held with the cast in May 2015; a week of exploration of the concept, of testing puppetry suggestions, and finding a common language between the artists in the room.

Both Janni and Jay work in association with their casts in the creation of the material on the floor, welcoming diverse voices, movement styles, and nuanced puppetry detail.

As with the puppet performance and choreography, the puppet design process has drawn on the great skill of the artists in the team. Janni, Andy Jones, and Jonah Delange worked together from the earliest concept for the puppets, through the construction of maquettes, and finally into full-scale giant puppets.

The collective creative process for The Firebird has called on each member of the team to go beyond previous experience. The massive challenge of this project could only

be met through an extraordinary level of artistry and commitment.

Janni Younge Productions is enormously grateful to the extensive team of people involved in the production and creation of this show: IMG Artists for believing in it from before it was born; Jay Pather for nurturing and nourishing its evolution; Andy Jones and Jonah Delange for giving it wings; Daniel Eppel for feeling Stravinsky and giving us more; Michael Clarke for painting many, many pictures; Mannie Mannim for painting with light and being the godfather; Birrie Le Roux for sensitive creations in fabric; the cast for giving every ounce of your energy and then some more; Pieter-Jan Kapp for getting things to hang out where they should; Robyn Sacks for getting things in order; Jzadir Belknap for keeping it all together; and to Luke Younge for seeing the big picture keeping Janni in one piece.

Janni Younge Productions thanks Handspring Puppet Company for a great foundation of support without which The Firebird would not have been possible.

After its presentation at Artscape, The Firebird travels to the National Arts Festival and then on to the United States where it will be met by live orchestras.

Performances will be seen at the Mann Centre (Philadelphia Orchestra), Wolf Trap (National Symphony Orchestra), Ravinia (Chicago Symphony Orchestra), Sun Valley Pavilion (Sun Valley Summer Symphony), Hollywood Bowl (Los Angeles Philharmonic), concluding at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center (Philadelphia Orchestra).

THE CHARACTERS The Seeker – performed by Jackie Manyaapelo The Seeker is the central figure who sets out on a journey to find her place in her world. This rite of passage pulls her in different directions, as she is both inspired by her vision of perfection and angry at the injustices in her society. She is torn between the fragile sense of confidence and the doubt that eats away at her, pulling her ideas out of the sky and forcing her to look deeper. As she builds her sense of herself within her social context, she is confronted by her own ideas. She has to draw in new reserves to allow her true balanced power to emerge.

The Alchemist of Honesty – performed by Ntombi Gasa Holding a deep and quiet wisdom, old as the ancestors, she knows the importance of being aware and present to the opposing forces at play. She is The Seeker’s intuition, her guide. She helps her balance the creative and destructive impulses, bringing them together to birth a fully formed idea and support it with power and vision.

The Creative – performed by paper and bird puppets and Sean Oelf The Creative is the inspired impulse to generate; it is the idea taking flight. The ability to imagine and then hold a vision until the imagined becomes a reality. This is the passion that generates new life and new livelihoods. The Creative manifests images of wellbeing and visions of purity and joy.

The Creative is possessive. As the Creative constructs it becomes attached to ideas, ignoring suffering and defending accumulated wealth and power. The Creative burns with inspiration, passion, delight and also greed.

The Innocents – performed by the children puppets These are the fragile and half-formed ideas that emerge in the creative process.

They are the playful and harmonious vision of integration and care. They are also an ideal, a simplification, and as such they and fragile. Only the more complete and fully formed idea is able to live in the face of the fire in the Seeker’s mind.

The Destructive – performed by sticks, snakes, and the beast puppets, and Nkanyiso Kunene The Destructive is the mistrust that looks below the surface. This is the doubt that destabilises the creative idea and the status quo. The Destructive is the insight that pierces the veneer and shatters the surface layer letting the unacknowledged be seen.

The Destructive pulls the Creative apart, forcing it to reconfigure. The Destructive is the anger that can tear down monuments and false idols but which can also burn and break the Innocents caught in its blaze.

The Destructive burns through the surface, burns away excess, burns up everything in its path, creating a clearing from which the new can rise.

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

SYNOPSIS The central figure of this interpretation of The Firebird is a young woman, the Seeker, on a quest to liberate her internal power.

Her journey can be read on both an internal psychological level as well as on a societal level, where it mirrors South Africa’s story since the fall of apartheid.

As she ventures into the uncertain territory of self-expression, she is at first uplifted and inspired. Her sense of potential and of a new life stir within her and she allows her passion to take flight. Surrounding her is a spirit of optimism about South Africa’s transformation.

However she soon encounters fear and doubt and her fragile sense of confidence seems to dissolve before her eyes. She awakens to the realities of inequality and profound national anger and suffering — her inspiration lost as the necessity of facing the depth of her being and the

complexity of her context asserts itself.

Her courage swells the forces of creativity again, taking the form of more distinct birds. Out of her inspiration are born her ideas. Fragile and open, they are fragments of children. She celebrates integration and intercultural acceptance. She is filled with a sense of plenty and well-being as development and new projects abound.

However, as she becomes attached to her ideals, the forces which once gave her freedom become restrictive and oppressive.

She finds herself separated from the heart of her ideas, unable to reach the child.

The Seeker sees that the ideals of plenty and well-being have become a veneer hiding ongoing inequality. She sees that the inflation of her ideas has made them ludicrous and somehow fragile. She feels that the attachment to her ideas has made them simplistic. She recognizes that the foundations are weak. She calls on her

critical insight (the snake-like creatures) to tear down the illusions she has built and pull her ideas apart.

As she generates this whirlwind of destruction the force of her passion and creativity rise inside her manifest as a giant bird. The seduction and possessive attachment she feels are pitted against her critical destruction. She loses control as these powerful forces fight for the domination of her mind.

The intensity of this confrontation gives the Seeker the capacity to break open the egg of her mind, within which lies the true source of her power. Rising from the destruction, the dragon balances the forces of creativity and destruction. Empowered by this balance she is able to reform her idea, this time as a complete child. As she feels the life in her idea, she trusts its strength and her new vision of integrated dynamics takes flight.

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION

CHOREOGRAPHER’S NOTE Tell a story: When I was given the chance to bring together dance and puppetry to Stravinsky’s score, the prospect seemed so seductive and, given my interdisciplinary bent, so clear and simple. In the doing, of course, one comes to terms with the fact that dance and puppetry are actually such polar opposites. Dance wriggles out of specific meanings, puppetry is built on specifics. Moreover, Stravinsky’s score, despite its complex, discursive, stream-of consciousness structure, is surprisingly narrative. So the choreography had to complement, match as well as depart from the narrative, specific nature of these components. Nonetheless, in the choreography, I wanted to work with the tangential quality of dance to provide fluidity — when meaning is created and then disappears in flux.

Tell our story: Janni Younge’s proposition that we used the central ideas of The Firebird as a metaphor for a South African story was compelling. The Firebird

is essentially about the quest for regeneration and the original ballet makes clear demarcations between good and evil. This re-imagining of Firebird in South Africa had to provide other layers. Through an extensive workshop process we probed the themes of promised land, the promise of a democracy, of equity and well-being for all, and the innocence of that dream. Of course this dream shatters with the pressing realities of the unfinished business of material equity. The doubt and rising rage is, however, always accompanied by the firebird metaphor, a source of creativity, the ability to make and chart new ground.

When both forces work in opposition to each other there is potential for great destruction and drawing the disparate ideas of rage and creation together suggests a regeneration that is not superficial. A diverse layering of styles of dance then became very important. Classical African dances and ballet in the earlier parts of the work help us probe the naiveté of the

original rainbow nation. Contemporary South African dance is by nature influenced heavily by classical African dance as it is by classical ballet, so in the latter parts of the work, these classical forms are also quite present within the contemporary style. In wanting to create a palette of voices and styles of dance the choice of a range of dancers who contribute to the choreography, was crucial.

Just tell the stories: When the toyi-toyi, a dance of protest and a derivative of Southern African dance, is juxtaposed with a classical pas de deux between a puppet and a dancer, the complexities of contemporary South Africa are achingly present.

These bodies flung together and having to make sense of each other and with each other bring up challenge, resistance, resilience, fear, and hope. The intensities of the context under which the work is created asks us as artists to go beyond just being clever, to succumb to telling a story, our story, the stories.

The 2015/16 season sees Ben Gernon working with all the major London and BBC orchestras, including débuts with the Philharmonia Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Hamburg Symphony (for Beethoven’s Choral Symphony), and Milwaukee Symphony. He continues his warm relationships with the LPO and LSO and returns to Scottish Chamber Orchestra for a tour of Scotland and recordings of music by Peter Maxwell Davies.

Ben has given two BBC Proms: September 2014 with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, featuring the music of Peter Maxwell Davies on the occasion of his 80th birthday, and in 2012 conducting the Tansy Davies “Composer Portrait.”

The 2014/15 season saw Ben conducting the BBC Symphony Orchestra in the studio, BBC National Orchestra of Wales in the studio and on a four-concert tour of Wales, and a BBC Philharmonic studio concert. He continues his relationships with the London Symphony Orchestra and London Philharmonic, in schools and family concerts,

after highly successful earlier visits.

Other season highlights include débuts with Luxembourg Philharmonic, New Japan Philharmonic, Vancouver Symphony, National Philharmonic of Russia, Nagoya Philharmonic, Glyndebourne Festival ˇa for Carmen), (assistant to Jakob Hrus and return visits to Scottish Chamber Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra, and Ulster Orchestra.

In the opera house, future plans include The Marriage of Figaro at Stuttgart Opera, and he has already conducted a speciallycrafted arrangement of Mozart’s Die Entführung aus dem Serail at the Salzburg Festival to critical acclaim.

Ben Gernon studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where he currently holds the position Professor of Musicianship, specially created for him.

He is mentored by Sian Edwards and was until his death by the late Sir Colin Davis.

In Summer 2013 BBC Music Magazine featured him as their “Rising Star: Great artist of tomorrow.”

ABOUT THE CONDUCTOR In 2013, BEN GERNON won the internationally acclaimed Nestlé and Salzburg Festival Young Conductor’s Award, a unanimous decision by the jury, led by Ingo Metzmacher. Ben’s conducting of Beethoven and Peter Maxwell Davies with the Camerata Salzburg led immediately to an invitation to tour the UK with them in March 2015.

As part of the Nestlé Award, Gernon made his debut with the Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester at the Salzburg Festival conducting Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5.

He was appointed a Dudamel Fellow with the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 2013/14, where he assisted on a variety of projects and conducted both Symphonies for Youth and schools concerts. His fellowship now complete, he is delighted to return to conduct the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl in August 2016.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Music by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893)

CAPRICCIO ITALIEN

SELECTIONS FROM SWAN LAKE For over a century, Swan Lake has been the ballet, the source of the visual cliches that say “ballet” to the non-ballet public.

But it was a flop, a victim of poor staging and choreography, when it premiered at the Bolshoi Theater in March 1877, and was forgotten during Tchaikovsky’s lifetime. He laid his score aside, and his plans to revise it and extract an orchestral suite were unfulfilled at his death. Nobody now knows exactly what the “original” version was like (if there can be said to be one, since there were changes made even during the brief run of performances). The ballet score as we know it was done posthumously by other hands.

The ballet is constructed in four acts. In the first, a prince celebrates his coming of age at his palace, in anticipation of a ball the following night where he is to choose his bride. In the second act, a late-night hunting expedition takes the prince to a lake where a sorcerer has cast a spell on young maidens, turning them into swans for no particularly good reason. They can take their human form only between midnight and dawn, which is when the prince finds them and, this being ballet, Photo: Gene Schiavone

Tchaikovsky composed his exhilarating Capriccio italien during a dark period in his life. The recent death of his father and the 25th anniversary of his mother’s death had upset the composer. Before he left Paris for Rome in December 1879, Tchaikovsky received news that his old homosexual acquaintance Prince Golitsyn and the prince’s lover were also staying in Italy’s capital. This threw the composer, who was always torn apart by his own homosexuality and any reminders of it, into the depths of despair. Writing to his brother Modest, he declared, “You will not believe the horror that Golitsyn and Masalitinov (the prince’s lover) instill in me. I like them both, but have grown terribly unused to them. For God’s sake, prepare them for the thought that I am dreadfully depressed by my work... that I lock myself in my room all day until dinner.”

The composer did manage to rein in his neuroses long enough to absorb some local color, taking in carnival at the end of January. He jotted down much of the music that he heard there and spent time poring over collections of Italian folk songs and dances during his holiday. His ethnography and researches are reflected in the Capriccio, with its bright primary colors and uncomplicated tunefulness. The work,

though conceived by a deeply troubled Tchaikovsky, is one of the most direct he ever composed, a swaggering paean to a city that obviously stirred something in the soul of this most sensitive of composers. — John Mangum

immediately falls in love with swan-maiden Odette [the White Swan]. The third act is the ball, where the sorcerer appears with his daughter, Odile [the Black Swan], to whom the prince then swears undying love because the sorcerer has transformed her to look like Odette. (This also features national/ethnic divertissements from the guests.) The truth is revealed in the final act at the lake, where the spell is broken and the prince and Odette die a romantic death together or live happily ever after, depending on which version is being staged. — Howard Posner

1812 OVERTURE Triumph is the order of the day in Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture. The work’s official title is The Year 1812, a Festival Overture to Mark the Consecration of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, which was in Moscow. Tchaikovsky wrote the occasional piece in less than a week – his capacity to compose quickly was legendary. Anton Rubinstein, his teacher at the Moscow Conservatory, remembered one instance when the young Tchaikovsky, asked to submit a few contrapuntal variations, turned in over 200.

The commission for the Overture came from Nikolai Rubinstein, who was in charge of organizing music for an exhibition that took place in 1882 (after a year’s postponement). The Overture’s first performance took place on August 20, not outside the Cathedral of Christ the Savior as is often assumed, but in a concert hall expressly built for the exhibition. The cathedral was built to commemorate the Russian defeat of Napoleon in 1812, and Tchaikovsky crafted a suitably patriotic work for the occasion. He used the Russian Empire’s national anthem, “God Save the Tsar,” to open and usher in the close of the work, also incorporating a folk melody borrowed from his forgotten opera The Voyevoda and the French national anthem, “La Marseillaise.” What most remember about the Overture, however, is its use of cannons, first to mark the French defeat, then during the final, celebratory dance that follows the second, triumphant statement of “God Save the Tsar.”

The USC TROJAN MARCHING BAND is known throughout the country as one of college football’s most spirited and innovative bands, and around the world for its frequent appearances in Hollywood.

Founded in 1880, the Trojan Marching Band (TMB) has been led by director Dr. Arthur C. Bartner for the past 46 years. Arriving at USC in 1970, Bartner revolutionized the band by introducing the distinctive “drive-it” style of marching and incorporating modern hits into its repertoire.

Named the “Best Band in College Football”

by USA Today, the TMB is a prominent representative of the university with over 350 engagements each year. It has truly earned its nickname, “The Spirit of Troy,” for its commitment to ’SC and its tireless support of Trojan athletics.

Dating back to John Phillip Sousa’s appearance with the band in 1924, the band has continuously attracted famous guest artists. Henry Mancini, Quincy

Jones, Diana Ross, Neil Diamond, Slash, Jason Derulo, and Dexter Holland of The Offspring have all appeared with the TMB. The Spirit of Troy made its own guest appearances with the rock group Fleetwood Mac on its hit 1979 album Tusk, and 1997 reunion album The Dance. Combined, the records sold over seven million copies, earning the band two platinum albums, a feat unmatched by any other college band.

In 2010, The Spirit of Troy also became the first marching band to play at the renowned Coachella music festival and has since appeared there twice more, most recently playing with Major Lazer on the main stage this past spring.

Because of its frequent exposure on the small and silver screens, the TMB has become known as “Hollywood’s Band.”

The band can be heard on the soundtrack to the 2013 animated feature The Croods and seen in such films as The Naked Gun and the Academy Award-winning Forrest Gump. Indeed, the Academy Awards telecast itself has featured the band three times: in 1976, 2000, and 2009. At the 81st Annual Academy Awards, the drumline – in top hats and tuxes – accompanied Beyoncé and Hugh Jackman in a Baz Luhrmann-produced salute to the Hollywood musical. Earlier that year, the band appeared at the 51st Grammy Awards, collaborating with British alternative rock group Radiohead on one of the most acclaimed performances of the night. This was the TMB’s second appearance on the Grammys in five years.

Some of the TMB’s other television

appearances include guest spots on Glee, The Voice, American Idol, The Tonight Show, How I Met Your Mother, Dancing with the Stars, and SportsCenter. In 2007 the band broke into the world of major print media with an appearance in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. The TMB was one of two college marching bands chosen for this first-of-its-kind pictorial, which featured thirteen pages of supermodels posed with band members. In 2013 the band appeared in a pictorial for Vanity Fair’s annual Hollywood Issue.

During its summer vacations, the band stays busy, traveling the world as goodwill ambassadors for the university. The Spirit of Troy performed at the 50th Anniversary of D-Day in Normandy, France; at the 2003 and 2004 International Chinese New Year’s Parade in Hong Kong; on the Great Wall of China in 2004; in front of the Roman Colosseum in 2006 and on Rio de Janeiro’s Ipanema Beach in 2008.

The band has also had the privilege of performing at five World Expositions, in Australia (1988), Spain (1992), Portugal (1998), Japan (2005), China (2010), and Italy’s Expo 2015. In February the Trojans were the first American group to perform at Macao’s Chinese New Year Parade.

The Spirit of Troy was a part of the 800-strong All-American College Marching Band – directed by Dr. Bartner – which performed at the 1984 Summer Olympic Games. Dr. Bartner has also led the TMB at Super Bowls, the World Series, the World Cup, and regularly at the Hollywood Bowl.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

SUFJAN STEVENS Sufjan Stevens is a singer-songwriter currently living in Brooklyn, NY. A preoccupation with epic concepts has motivated two state records (Michigan and Illinois), a collection of sacred and biblical songs (Seven Swans), an electronic album for the animals of the Chinese zodiac (Enjoy Your Rabbit), two Christmas box sets (Songs for Christmas, vol. 1-5 and Silver & Gold, vol. 6-10), and a programmatic tone poem for the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (The BQE). In 2010 Sufjan released an expansive EP (All Delighted People) and the full length The Age of Adz, a collection of songs partly inspired by the outsider artist Royal Robertson. His most recent release is a forthcoming album entitled Carrie & Lowell.

Born in Detroit and raised in Northern Michigan, Sufjan attended Hope College, in Holland, Michigan, and the masters program for writers at the New School for Social Research.

KURT VILE Having been the subject and willing conspirator of many intentional lies planted in Sonic Youth bios over the years, I know first hand the way album lore can bend reality to its truth. After the infamous Byron Coley originated the SY “Trilogy” myth in the Murray Street bio, we had no choice but to fulfill those expectations with Sonic Nurse. “Why did you decide to make a trilogy?” was always the first question asked in interviews around that time.

But this is Kurt Vile’s bio, and I won’t do that to him. Anyway, Kurt does his own myth making; a boy/man with an old soul voice in the age of digital everything becoming something else, which is why this focused, brilliantly clear, and seemingly candid record is a breath of fresh air. Recorded and mixed in a number of locations, including Los Angeles and Joshua Tree, b’lieve i’m goin down… is a handshake across the country, East to

West Coast, thru the dustbowl history (“valley of ashes”) of Woody “honest straight-forward talk” Guthrie, and a Cali canyon dead still night floating in a nearly waterless landscape. The record is all air, weightless, bodyless, but grounded in convincing authenticity, in the best version of singer-songwriter upcycling. In Kurt’s words, “I wanted to get back into the habit of writing a sad song on my couch, with nobody waiting on me. I really wanted it to sound like it’s on my couch — not in a lo-fi way, just more unguarded and vulnerable.”

For a record that plays like a cohesive acoustic experience, its musicality marks Kurt’s departure from an electric guitar experience to include a range of instrumentation with a large group of players. From the banjo he plays on “I’m an Outlaw” to the piano and lapsteel on “Life Like This,” and the myriad other instruments on other songs, including farfisa, resonator, arps, horns, and synth, one never thinks about what exactly you’re

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

listening to as it all serves the song. The heart of the record is “Stand Inside.”

The music is quiet and the melody, like a hymn, folds in on itself, and embraces full strength in a sexy, floating forcelessness that slowly gathers into a wave that doesn’t go where you think it will or rather gives in to itself and celebrates a man willing to be defined by a woman and his love for her as witness to each other’s

lives… Don’t stand by my side, stand inside gives up roleplaying for true exposure and vulnerability.

It’s a weird, accepting, mature record, acknowledging the inherent immaturity of being a person whether father, husband, partner, adult, musician, not perfect, but compelling for its understanding … that’s life though so sad to say… I love this record, b’lieve i’m goin down. — Kim Gordon

IBEYI Lisa and Naomi Díaz are the daughters of the late Cuban percussionist Angá Díaz.

Naomi plays percussion instruments, the cajón and the batas, and Lisa plays piano.

Together the twins have learned the songs of their father’s culture, Yoruba. Yoruba travelled from West Africa to Cuba with slavery in the 1700s. The Yoruba people have the highest twinning rate in the world, and twins occupy an important position within Yoruba culture. Ibeyi is pronounced “ee-bey-ee” and translates as “Twins” in Yoruban.

Ibeyi sing in English and Yoruban, and have created a minimalist sound that merges elements of their heritage with their natural love of modern music as teenagers growing up in Paris, citing artists such as James Blake and King Krule among their wide range of influences.

Ibeyi’s self-titled debut album for XL, with Richard Russell on production, was released last year.

“Their single ‘River’ is essentially a gospel song sung over a sparse beat, and it is both awesome and otherworldly.”

(Stereogum) “You’re unlikely to hear anything as startlingly original all year.” (NME) “If this doesn’t lift your spirit, literally nothing will.” (Disco Naivete)
