There’s nothing “little” about Megan Hilty’s voice IF YOU’RE LOOKING for a new show to celebrate the festive season, you could hardly do better than Megan Hilty, who joins the Cabaret Series in December with A Merry Little Christmas with Megan Hilty. She’s made herself a firm favorite of Center patrons over the past few years as she has joined us through thick and thin. After her stunning Cabaret debut, Megan returned during the pandemic to the Julianne and George Argyros Plaza with an outdoor performance that reminded us why we need music even at the worst of times. She returned again when the Center was able to open its halls for indoor performances, and what a welcome!

“She is the kind of life-changing talent that latches onto you when you experience it for the first time and never goes away,” says Exeuntnyc.com. Hilty has a talent for molding her voice to fit any song type, be it a hit from Wicked, a Dolly Parton classic, or a favorite song that doesn’t really fall into a category.

Her voice is powerful when it needs to be, and powderpuff-soft when the song calls for it.

Of a recent concert, Theaeterpizzazz.com noted, “If anyone in the packed house didn’t actually believe the range of her voice and its operatic beauty, Hilty easily quashed that by singing “I Could Have Danced All Night” [from My Fair Lady] and hitting a high C final note.”

Hilty enjoys working in a concert setting. “I love being in complete control of the playlist,” she told Whatsonstage.com, “and it’s the one time I’m not playing a character. I’ve grown to love sharing my stories and favorite songs with people who only know me through the characters I play—most of which I’m not like at all in real life.” In real life, she has two children,

and her husband, Brian Gallagher, is part of her band. While she was pregnant, she would film the audiences so each child could see what they were a part of before they were born.

Megan Hilty’s gorgeous flowing voice takes her audiences to new levels with every song she sings. If you’ve seen her in concert before, you know you need to come back again. If you haven’t, then book your tickets now. You’ll be in for the best holiday present you could give yourself.

Welcome the holidays the Grinch way Philadelphia Inquirer says “Infused with the spirit of Suess—It’s a new Christmas tradition,” and the Associated Press calls the Grinch “The most lovable Christmas villain of them all! This Grinch brings the Dr. Suess classic fancifully to life… you might find your heart growing a few sizes, too.”

In the end, the Grinch realizes he has it all wrong: The Whos don’t need presents or decorations to celebrate the meaning of the holiday season. It’s all about spending time with family and friends.

Gannett Papers calls How the Grinch Stole Christmas “A total delight for both kids and adults. For a family on a holiday-season outing, it’s the right ticket.” So gather your loved ones and head to the Center to “Welcome Christmas” with a fun-filled show all generations will enjoy.

HOW COULD ANYONE want to shut down Christmas? Just about everyone loves the lights, the music, the presents, and the parties. Well, everyone except the Grinch.

Based on the beloved 1957 book by Dr. Suess and subsequent cartoon in 1966, How the Grinch Stole Christmas The Musical comes to the Center December 19–24.

With a heart two sizes too small, the Grinch sits in his mountain lair with his dog, Max, and plots to steal the holidays from the residents of Whoville, down in the valley. No one knows why he hates Christmas so much: Some speculate his shoes are too tight. But when he and Max try to steal all the Whos’ Christmas presents and decorations, he’s caught out by Cindy Lou Who, who wants to know why he is stuffing her Christmas tree up the chimney. Busted!

The production is filled with breathtaking special effects: Children might think it’s actually snowing. The sets and costumes are straight out of the book, and the music is delightful. The

THE DUX® BED

MASTERING THE ART OF THE BEDROOM 95 YEARS OF SWEDISH EXCELLENCE Since 1926, four generations of the Ljung family have aspired to produce the most comfortable and technologically advanced beds on the market.

As a privately-owned family business, our only responsibilities are to our customers, to the integrity of our product, and to our commitment to sustainable thought and practices.

Over the last 95 years our beds have been thoroughly vetted and tested – by the scientific community, but more importantly, by four generations of customers worldwide.

A new kind of Nutcracker

The Pan American Nutcracker Suite is coming to Segerstrom Center and there won’t a tutu or pointe shoe in sight. Imagine “The Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy” played as a cha-cha.

The New York Afro Bop Alliance Big Band, led by Joe McCarthy, puts a completely new spin on Peter Tchaikovsky’s 1892 classic ballet music. He’s not the first to change the sound of the work, but with an 18-piece band and international influences, this is an entirely new mix. “The Pan American Nutcracker Suite is an aural tour de force, an all-encompassing immersive sound experience,” says Latinjazznetwork.com.

McCarthy is the founder, leader, producer and drummer for the big band, and he has a wealth of experience behind him, including 20 years in the United States Naval Academy Band, where he served as a chief petty officer. He put together a stellar group of musicians who show off their chops with solos throughout the work. “He has rearranged it for a big band in multiple styles, with an emphasis on Afro-Cuban rhythms and cultural diversity,” writes nitelifeexchange.com.

Allaboutjazz.com says, “The band uses the strong rhythmic traditions of Cuba, Brazil, Africa

and even China,” that include bolero, cha-cha, mambo, Afro-Cuban and samba. Downbeat magazine says the band “occupies a singular spot in the timeline of Afro-Cuban ensembles, at once a torch bearer of the genre’s stories history and also one of the fiercest innovators.”

“I knew I could come up with something that had not been done before,” McCarthy told Latinjazznetwork.com. “I’m classically trained; in my earlier life I played the piece a billion times.

But this was going to be entirely different. I did an enormous amount of study and preparation,” he continues. “My job was to honor Tchaikovsky but also make the music true to a certain sound I was hearing. We’re able to transport people to a different place.”

It could be quite a treat if a dance troupe performed Nutcracker to this music and its individual styles. Until that happens, the audience can sit back and enjoy this unique holiday experience.

#GivingTuesday AS THE HOLIDAY SEASON approaches, consider a gift to help your performing arts community.

The first Tuesday after Thanksgiving is National #GivingTuesday, and this year you can join millions of Americans on November 28 who will donate to support a favorite non-profit organization in their community. By choosing Segerstrom Center, your donation will not only benefit our renowned programming of music and dance, but also our life-changing education and community engagement programs.

To make this opportunity even sweeter, #GivingTuesday gifts will be matched 2-1 up to $60,000 by our #GivingTuesday partner, Avenue of the Arts Costa Mesa, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel and Silver Trumpet Restaurant and Bar. Imagine what your donation could do at the Center. More than $150,000 has been donated to the Center through Giving Tuesdays, with an additional $65,000 in matches.

This is a particularly important time for supporting performing arts across the country as we all recover from the pandemic closures.

The Center has returned to a full season of performances, with full theaters that attest to the popularity of our engagements. But we want to ensure that we keep that successful momentum growing.

The Center is an integral part of this community. We provide free yearround programming on the Julianne and George Argyros Arts Plaza with activities geared for all ages. During the summer the plaza plays host to Movie Mondays, which for more than a decade has shown familyfriendly movies. Friday nights feature a music series that includes a variety of sounds by local artists.

Tuesday night dance continues from early spring to September with lessons in a variety of dance types, and Winter Prom is popular event to dress up in your favorite prom era and dance the night away.

Your support for the Center also enables special programs such as Summer at the Center, Disney Musicals in Schools, and Studio D: School of Dance and Music for All Abilities, an all-inclusive space for children of all abilities to explore their full physical, social, and creative potential through high quality, joyful dance and music instruction.

The Center is here for everyone, helping to create a culturally connected and vibrant community. Whether you love Broadway musicals or silent discos on the plaza, everyone can incorporate the performing arts into their lives. Help us continue to thrive.

Music Director Carl St.Clair The 2023-24 season marks Music Director Carl St.Clair’s 34th year leading Pacific Symphony. St.Clair is one of the longest-tenured conductors of the major American orchestras. St.Clair’s lengthy history solidifies the strong relationship he has forged with the musicians and community. His continuing role also lends stability to the organization and continuity to his vision for the Symphony’s future. Few orchestras can claim such rapid artistic development as Pacific Symphony—the largestbudgeted orchestra formed in the United States in the last 50 years, due in large part to St.Clair’s leadership.

During his tenure, St.Clair has become widely recognized for his musically distinguished performances, his commitment to building outstanding educational programs, and his innovative approaches to programming.

In April 2018, St.Clair led Pacific Symphony in its soldout Carnegie Hall debut, as the finale to the Carnegie’s yearlong celebration of preeminent composer Philip Glass’ 80th birthday, ending in a standing ovation with The New York Times calling the Symphony “a major ensemble!”

He led Pacific Symphony on its first tour to China in May 2018, the orchestra’s first international tour since touring Europe in 2006. The orchestra made its national PBS debut in June 2018 on Great Performances with Peter Boyer’s Ellis Island: The Dream of America, conducted

by St.Clair. Among St.Clair’s many creative endeavors are the highly acclaimed American Composers Festival, which began in 2000, and the opera initiative, “Symphonic Voices,” which has included concert-opera productions of Madama Butterfly, The Magic Flute, Aida, Turandot, Carmen, La Traviata, Tosca, and Rigoletto in previous seasons.

St.Clair’s commitment to the development and performance of new works by composers is evident in the wealth of commissions and recordings by the Symphony. The 2016-17 season featured commissions by pianist/composer Conrad Tao and composer-inresidence Narong Prangcharoen, a follow-up to the slate of recordings of works commissioned and performed by the Symphony in recent years. Other commissions include John Wineglass’ Alone Together (2021), William Bolcom’s Songs of Lorca and Prometheus (2015-16), Elliot Goldenthal’s Symphony in G-sharp Minor (2014-15), Richard Danielpour’s Toward a Season of Peace (201314), Philip Glass’ The Passion of Ramakrishna (2012-13), and Michael Daugherty’s Mount Rushmore, and The Gospel According to Sister Aimee (2012-13). St.Clair has led the orchestra in other critically acclaimed albums including two piano concertos of Lukas Foss, Danielpour’s An American Requiem, and Goldenthal’s Fire Water Paper: A Vietnam Oratorio with cellist Yo-Yo Ma. Other commissioned composers include James Newton Howard, Zhou Long, Tobias Picker, Frank Ticheli, Sir James MacMillan, Chen Yi, Curt Cacioppo, Stephen P2

Scott, Jim Self (Pacific Symphony’s Principal Tubist), and Christopher Theofanidis.

In 2006-07, St.Clair led the orchestra’s historic move into its home at the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall at Segerstrom Center for the Arts. The move came on the heels of the landmark 2005-06 season that included St.Clair leading the Symphony on its first European tour—nine cities in three countries playing before capacity houses and receiving extraordinary responses and reviews. From 2008-10, St.Clair was general music director for the Komische Oper in Berlin. He also served as general music director and chief conductor of the German National Theater and Staatskapelle (GNTS) in Weimar, Germany, where he led Wagner’s Ring Cycle to critical acclaim. He was the first non-European to hold his position at the GNTS; the role also gave him the distinction of simultaneously leading one of the newest orchestras in America and one of the oldest in Europe.

In 2014, St.Clair became the music director of the National Symphony Orchestra in Costa Rica. His international career also has him conducting abroad several months a year, and he has appeared with orchestras throughout the world. St.Clair has led the Boston Symphony Orchestra (where he served as assistant conductor for several years), New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the San Francisco, Seattle, Detroit, Atlanta, Houston, Indianapolis, Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver symphonies, among many.

Carl St.Clair is a strong advocate of music education for all ages and is internationally recognized for his distinguished career as a master teacher. He has been essential to the creation and implementation of the Symphony’s education and community engagement programs including Pacific Symphony Youth Ensembles, Heartstrings, Sunday Matinees, OC Can You Play With Us?, arts-X-press, and Class Act. In addition to his professional conducting career, St.Clair has worked with most major music schools across the country.

In 2018, Chapman University President Danielle Struppa appointed St.Clair as a Presidential Fellow, working closely with the students of the College of the Performing Arts at Chapman University. St.Clair has been named “Distinguished Alumni in Residence” at the University of Texas Butler School of Music beginning 2019. And, for over 25 years, he has had a continuing relationship with the USC Thornton School of Music where he is artistic leader and principal conductor of the orchestral program.

Pacific Symphony, led by Music Director Carl St.Clair for the last 34 years, has been the resident orchestra of the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall since 2006.

Currently in its 45th season, the Symphony is the largest orchestra formed in the U.S. in the last 50 years and is recognized as an outstanding ensemble making strides on both the national and international scene, as well as in its own community of Orange County. In April 2018, Pacific Symphony made its debut at Carnegie Hall as one of two orchestras invited to perform during a yearlong celebration of composer Philip Glass’ 80th birthday, and the following month the orchestra toured China. The orchestra made its national PBS debut in June 2018 on Great Performances with Peter Boyer’s Ellis Island: The Dream of America, conducted by St.Clair. Presenting more than 100 concerts and events each year and a rich array of education and community engagement programs, the Symphony reaches more than 300,000 residents—from school children to senior citizens.

The Symphony offers repertoire ranging from the great orchestral masterworks to music from today’s most prominent composers. Just over a decade ago, the Symphony launched the highly successful opera initiative, “Symphonic Voices,” which continues in April 2024 with Puccini’s La Bohème. It also offers an in-demand Pops season, enhanced by state-of-the-art video and sound, led by celebrated pops conductors. Each season also includes Café Ludwig, a chamber music series; an educational Family Musical Mornings series; and Sunday Matinees, an orchestral matinée series offering rich explorations of selected works led by St.Clair.

Founded in 1978 as a collaboration between California State University, Fullerton (CSUF) and North Orange County community leaders led by Marcy Mulville, the Symphony performed its first concerts at Fullerton’s Plummer Auditorium as the Pacific Chamber Orchestra, under the baton of then-CSUF orchestra conductor Keith Clark. Two seasons later, the Symphony expanded its size and changed its name to Pacific Symphony Orchestra.

Then, in 1981-82, the orchestra moved to Knott’s Berry Farm for one year. The subsequent four seasons, led by Clark, took place at Santa Ana High School auditorium where the Symphony also made its first six acclaimed recordings. In September 1986, the Symphony moved to the new Orange County Performing Arts Center, and from 1987-2016, the orchestra additionally presented a Summer Festival at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre. In 2006, the

Symphony moved into the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, with striking architecture by Cesar Pelli and acoustics by Russell Johnson. In 2008, the Symphony inaugurated the hall’s critically acclaimed 4,322-pipe William J. Gillespie Concert Organ. The orchestra embarked on its first European tour in 2006, performing in nine cities in three countries.

Recordings commissioned and performed by the Symphony include the release of William Bolcom’s Songs of Lorca and Prometheus (2015-16), Richard Danielpour’s Toward a Season of Peace, Philip Glass’ The Passion of Ramakrishna (2013-14), as well as Michael Daugherty’s Mount Rushmore and The Gospel According to Sister Aimee (2012-13). In 2014-15, Elliot Goldenthal released a recording of his Symphony in G-sharp Minor, written for and performed by the Symphony. The Symphony has also commissioned and recorded An American Requiem

by Danielpour and Fire Water Paper: A Vietnam Oratorio

by Goldenthal featuring Yo-Yo Ma. Other recordings have included collaborations with such composers as Lukas Foss and Toru Takemitsu. Other leading composers commissioned by the Symphony include Paul Chihara, Daniel Catán, James Newton Howard, William Kraft, Ana Lara, Tobias Picker, Christopher Theofanidis, Frank Ticheli, John Wineglass, Sir James Macmillan, and Chen Yi. In both 2005 and 2010, the Symphony received the prestigious ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming.

Also in 2010, a study by the League of American Orchestras, Fearless Journeys, included the Symphony as one of the country’s five most innovative orchestras.

Pacific Symphony’s award-winning education and community engagement programs benefit from the vision of St.Clair and are designed to integrate the orchestra and its music into the community in ways that stimulate all ages. The Symphony’s Class Act program has been honored as one of nine exemplary orchestra education programs by the National Endowment for the Arts and the League of American Orchestras. The list of instrumental training initiatives includes Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra, Pacific Symphony Youth Wind Ensemble, Pacific Symphony Santiago Strings, and new this season, Pacific Symphony Youth Concert Band. The Symphony also spreads the joy of music through arts-X-press, Class Act, Heartstrings, OC Can You Play With Us?, Santa Ana Strings, Strings for Generations, Symphony on the Go!, and Symphony in the Cities.

PROGRAM NOTES Why 1842?

Known among musicologists as Robert Schumann’s “Year of Chamber Music,” 1842 was a year of high Romanticism, drought, food insecurity, and growing unrest in Europe.

Fifteen years had passed since Beethoven’s death, and the philosophical concerns he poured into his music now cast their shadow across national boundaries, gathering into a storm front that swept across Europe. In 1848, republican revolts against European monarchies began in Sicily and spread to France, Germany, Italy, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, leading only to more political oppression and to disillusionment among reformers. We can hear these forces in the music of the time—in melancholy darkness of tone, in the elevation of nature, and in the very idea of music as a way of expressing, transcending, and triumphing over pain.

PROGRAM NOTES Clara Wieck Schumann (1819 – 1896)

Three Romances for Piano, Op. 21

Clara Schumann was still in her 30s when her husband died tragically young. She had long since established herself as one of the most important pianists of her generation and as a composer whose music drew praise from critics and colleagues. She had concertized since the age of 11, making the difficult transition from child prodigy to mature artist with unusual success. But while she continued to tour and perform after Robert’s death, she focused more on ensuring the permanence of her husband’s music than on composing her own. Why did she not compose more? From her extensive writings and correspondence, we know that the weight of her professional and domestic partnership with Robert was enormous. Both artists were fiercely disciplined, but Clara bore the burden of finances and family alone—caring for her sick husband until his final hospitalization, bearing and raising eight children (seven of whom survived into adulthood and one of whom suffered the same illness as his father), and touring and teaching to sustain the family. A housekeeper kept the household afloat while Clara toured.

Many of the pieces Clara Schumann composed were scored for solo piano or for violin and piano—works she could perform on her many concert tours with the celebrated violinist and composer Joseph Joachim. Her two sets of romances composed for this purpose, the Op. 21 for solo piano and Op. 22 for piano and violin, were part of a musical conversation that engaged Clara, her husband Robert, Joachim, and Brahms. The chamber works that formed this creative exchange contain through-lines and recurrent motifs much like the threads in modern online correspondence among friends.

Both the Op. 21 and Op. 22 romances date from 1853, the year Clara moved her family to Düsseldorf. In that fateful year her eighth child, Felix, was born, and her husband was admitted to the hospital where he spent the last two years of his life. The suite has the graceful lyricism characteristic of Clara’s style, tinged with a contemplative, wistful quality we also hear in Robert’s solo piano works. But interestingly, the opening allegretto also gives us a strong taste of Magyar flava—a tip of the hat to Joachim, who was of HungarianJewish heritage and favored Magyar flash in his playing. The final agitato movement incorporates virtuosic, rapid scales into flowing melodic lines.

Louise Farrenc (1804 – 1875)

Piano Quintet No. 1 in A minor, Op. 30

In a New York Times article dated Oct. 8, 2021, the music critic David Allen chronicles the backhanded praise and grudging compliments accorded to the enormously gifted French musician Louise Farrenc during her lifetime. Though she achieved fame both as a teacher and composer, she was and is under-appreciated, a story no less shocking for its familiarity.

Contemporary critics used coded language to praise her three symphonies, calling them surprising, masculine, and seductive, rather than acknowledging their superb construction, expressive power, or harmonic boldness. Even Hector Berlioz called one of her symphonies “well written and orchestrated with a talent rare among women.” A more modern observation comes from Yannick P8

PERFORMANCES MAGAZINE

001-032 518 Pacific Symphony prog 1123 NEW.indd 8

Nezet-Seguin, the esteemed orchestral conductor and artistic director of the Metropolitan Opera, who has noted that “[Her] symphonies and the overtures should hold a similar place as [those of] Schumann and Mendelssohn.”

Farrenc was born in Paris to an artistic family. Her father, Jacques-Edme Dumont, and her uncle, Auguste Dumont, were both successful sculptors. Her musical gifts were evident from an early age, and she received piano instruction with renowned composerpianists of the day: first with Cecile Soria, a student Muzio Clementi, and then with Ignaz Moscheles and Johann Nepomuk Hummel. She later studied composition with Anton Reicha, a Czech-born composer living in France who was a pioneer of the most advanced compositional techniques of the era.

Farrenc composed her Piano Quintet No. 1 in 1839, when she was 35. Compelling and vigorous, it balances virtuoso solo lines with deftly woven ensemble. Combining poetic lines with bold development, its style reminds many listeners of Robert Schumann—especially in the Adagio movement, with its singing cello line. The piano is brilliantly showcased throughout.

Robert Schumann (1810 – 1856)

Piano Quintet in E-flat Major, Op. 44

Born in the Saxon town of Zwickau (now Germany), Schumann began his musical studies at age six. After customary studies at the Zwickau Gymnasium and facing intense family pressure, he matriculated at the University of Leipzig to study law, but music continued to preoccupy him, and he soon began exploring song composition to the detriment of his law studies. He then turned to one of the most celebrated German piano teachers of the day, Friedrich Wieck, for intensive piano studies.

When he began his lessons in 1828, Schumann was 18 and Wieck’s daughter Clara, who was only 9, was a piano prodigy who had already performed publicly. Two years later, Schumann finally won his own family’s approval to prepare for a career in music, and he moved into the Wieck household.

Abandoning his law studies hardly ended Schumann’s troubles; his friendship with young Clara seems to have been one of the few bright spots in a life marked by dark moods made worse by deaths in his family, and by injuries to his right hand that hindered his playing. As mental illness overtook him, he selfmedicated with alcohol yet somehow managed to compose prolifically, especially for the piano.

When Clara and Robert finally married, in 1840, Clara, at age twenty, was already a renowned soloist. Robert composed the Piano Quintet in E-flat Major two years later. Before 1842, his sole chamber work was an 1829 piano quartet; in 1842 he composed the three string quartets, Op. 41, the piano quintet, Op. 44; the piano quartet, Op. 47; and the Phantasiestücke for piano trio, Op. 88. This quintet, like all his chamber compositions of 1842, is melodically rich and light-filled—the most consistently buoyant and energetic writing of his career.

While his earlier compositions focused mainly on introspective works for solo piano, 1842 brought new interest in the foundational expression afforded by the string quartet form, and—with this quintet—a synthesis that some musicologists have called a “reunion” with the piano. We still can’t know whether Robert’s inspired productivity during 1842 was a year of a respite from his illness, or a symptom of bipolar mania.

Emmy Award-winning and GRAMMY®-nominated Adam Schoenberg has twice been named among the top 10 most performed living composers by orchestras in the United States. His works have received performances and premieres at the Library of Congress, Kennedy Center, New York Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, and Hollywood Bowl. He has received commissions from major American orchestras including the Atlanta Symphony (UP! and La Luna Azul), Kansas City Symphony (American Symphony and Picture Studies), Los Angeles Philharmonic, Aspen Music Festival and School (Bounce), San Francisco Symphony (Losing Earth), and Louisville Orchestra (Automation).

Schoenberg took the opportunity of a commission from the Lexington Philharmonic to compose Canto as a tribute to his newborn son. Scored for piano, percussion, and strings, it teems with eclecticism and energy. On his website, the composer writes movingly about the genesis of this rhapsodic, singlemovement work: On August 11, 2013, my son Luca was born, and in that single moment, my life changed forever. The past six months have brought the greatest joys I’ve ever known, and I can no longer imagine life without him.…I knew that this would be a very different work for me. My son embodies many different cultures and religions (e.g., Judaism from me, Catholicism from my wife, and Chinese, Peruvian, and Iranian blood)….

Knowing that [he] is part of so many different cultures, I wanted the spirit of this new work to embody the spirit of others. Canto can mean singing, chant, or song.…Canto is about family and love, and it’s dedicated to my wife Janine, and son Luca.

It was a long time between concertos for moody, mercurial Sergei Rachmaninoff. Bouts of depression almost scuttled his career as a composer, and though he overcame his famous “composer’s block” with the help of friends’ intervention and a physician’s therapy, he remained troubled by insecurities and melancholia.

Despite the rapturous reception for his second piano concerto and his standing as a virtuoso, he made the world wait for eight years—until 1909—for his third, and it was not until 1917 that he began the earliest sketches for his Piano Concerto No. 4. His initial ideas for the concerto would not be fully developed until 1941, when he introduced the work under the baton of Leopold Stokowski during another commercial tour of the U.S. By then he had moved to California at the urging of his compatriot Igor Stravinsky.

This concerto displays Rachmaninoff’s new willingness to experiment. In it we can hear contemporary influences such as composer George Gershwin and jazz pianist Art Tatum, an openness to drama and new colors, and less dependence on the sweeping Romantic contours of his earlier works. The slow movement sounds almost like blues; critics cite that as evidence that Rachmaninoff paid close attention to Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. Was this unexpected choice, among others, one reason why Rachmaninoff’s fourth piano concerto was received with less enthusiasm than those that came earlier? Today we appreciate this work not only for Rachmaninoff’s customary brilliance as a composer of virtuosic piano music, but as our best indication of how a “modern” Rachmaninoff style might have sounded.

Gabriella Smith

Claude Debussy

Bioluminescence Chaconne

La mer

Born: 1991 in Berkeley, California Composed: 2019 Premiered: Commissioned and premiered by Oregon Symphony on Feb. 7, 2020 Most recent Pacific Symphony performance: This is a Pacific Symphony premiere Instrumentation: three flutes including piccolo, three oboes, three clarinets, three bassoons including contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, one tuba, timpani, percussion, and strings

Born: Aug. 22, 1862 in SaintGermain-en-Laye, France Died: Mar. 25, 1918 in Paris, France Composed: 1903-1905 Premiered: Oct. 15, 1905 by the Orchestre Lamoureux in Paris, conducted by Camille Chevillard Most recent Pacific Symphony performance: Dec. 8, 2012, with Alexander Shelley conducting Instrumentation: three flutes including piccolo, three oboes including English horn, two clarinets, four bassoons including contrabassoon, four horns, five trumpets, three trombones, one tuba, timpani, percussion, two harps, and strings

Composer Gabriella Smith grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area playing and writing music, hiking, backpacking, and volunteering on a songbird research project. Described as “the coolest, most exciting, most inventive new voice I’ve heard in ages” (Musical America) and an “outright sensation” (Los Angeles Times), Smith draws inspiration from her love of play, exploring new sounds on instruments, building compelling musical arcs, and connecting listeners with the natural world in an invitation to find joy in climate action.

Recent highlights include the premiere of her organ concerto, Breathing Forests, written for James McVinnie and LA Phil, conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen; performances of Tumblebird Contrails by San Francisco Symphony and Esa-Pekka Salonen, both at home and on their European tour; and the release of her first full-length album, Lost Coast, recorded in Iceland with cellist Gabriel Cabezas.

Smith’s lifelong interest in the natural environment is reflected in the titles of many of her works, including her Bioluminescence Chaconne, which expresses her wonder at the mysterious, glowing phenomenon emitted mainly by marine fauna and flora. She uses the natural world as a recurring metaphor, and her specific sound world, drawn from minimalism and aleatoric music, uses extended instrumental techniques to propel familiar musical imagery in completely novel ways. In the Chaconne, we can hear the mysteries of bioluminescence dramatically expressed in her use of augmented percussion, including a temple bowl, kick drum, tomtoms, crotales, and five “varied metal objects.”

Debussy returned to the sea again and again in songs and descriptive works for orchestra. “I love the sea and I have listened to it passionately,” he wrote to his friend and fellow-composer André Messager.

“You may not have known that I was destined for a sailor’s life…I have always felt a passionate love for the sea.” But it turns out that Debussy’s feelings for the sea were a triumph of imagination over reality; the composer’s experience of life on the water was limited to “two [English] Channel crossings and some seaside holidays,” musicologist Richard Freed informs us. Debussy took one of those seaside holidays at the English Channel town of Eastbourne in 1905, two years after he began sketching La mer, specifically to complete the work at the seaside.

Though Debussy never completed a symphony, La mer challenges every section of the orchestra and is certainly symphonic in its scope. And, as with a symphony, its three movements are intended to be performed together—a single sequence representing a day on the water. By the time of its composition, a year after his operatic masterpiece Pelléas et Mélisande, the 20th century was young and Debussy was elevating his music to new heights. Their breadth intensified his trademark style, with its sensuous, modal scales, ambiguous rhythms, and— most of all—those gliding, unresolved harmonies that keep on rolling and never arrive.

ABOUT THE CONDUCTOR Ludovic Morlot is Music Director of the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra and Conductor Emeritus of Seattle Symphony in addition to being Associate Artist, BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. Morlot’s élan, elegance and intensity on stage have endeared him to audiences and orchestras worldwide, from the Berlin Philharmonic to the Boston Symphony. During his eight years as Music Director of the Seattle Symphony he pushed the boundaries of traditional concert programming, winning several GRAMMYs®.

Morlot has conducted the Berliner Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw, Czech Philharmonic, Dresden Staatskapelle, London Philharmonic, and Budapest Festival orchestras, and many of the leading North American orchestras, notably the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Chicago, and Boston Symphony Orchestras. Morlot has a particularly strong connection with Boston, having been the Seiji Ozawa Fellowship Conductor at Tanglewood and subsequently appointed Assistant Conductor for the Boston Symphony.

Since then, he has conducted the orchestra in subscription concerts in Boston, at Tanglewood, and on a tour to the west coast of the United States. He has also appeared extensively in Asia and Australasia, notably with the Seoul Philharmonic, Yomiuri Nippon Symphony, and Melbourne Symphony Orchestras. Festival appearances have included the BBC Proms, Wien Modern, Edinburgh, and Aspen festivals.

His tenure in Seattle formed a hugely significant period in the musical journey of the orchestra. His innovative programming encompassed not only his choice of repertoire, but theatrical productions and performances outside the traditional concert hall space. There were numerous collaborations with musicians from different genres, commissions and world premieres. Some of these projects, including John Luther Adams’ Become Ocean, Aaron Jay Kernis’ Violin Concerto performed by James Ehnes and an exploration of Dutilleux’s music, have earned the orchestra five GRAMMYs®, as well as the distinction of being named Gramophone’s 2018 Orchestra of the Year.

Morlot has released 19 recordings with the Seattle Symphony Media label which was launched in 2014.

Morlot opened last season with a concertante performance of Die Walküre at Seattle Opera, invited back for Samson et Dalila in Jan. 2023 and for a fully-staged Rheingold in Aug. 2023. In recent months he has conducted the Philadelphia Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, San Francisco, Seattle, Utah and Sao Paulo symphonies.

Guesting in Europe included the Netherlands Philharmonic, Copenhagen Philharmonic, BBC Philharmonic, Orchestre National de Lille, Bergen Philharmonic, City of Birmingham P12

Symphony, Orquesta Castilla y Leon and of course Barcelona Symphony. He has a strong commitment to supporting emerging talent and regularly conducts students at the Colburn Conservatory. In 2021 he sat on the jury of the Leeds International Piano Competition and conducted students at the Royal Academy (London), New England Conservatory (Boston), and made his annual visit to the Aspen Festival.

ABOUT THE ARTIST Vadym Kholodenko has emerged as one of the most musically dynamic and technically gifted performers of his generation, heralded for interpretations that are “impeccable, tasteful, and vibrant, and also something more: imaginative” (Cleveland Plain Dealer). Winner of the coveted gold medal and all special prizes at the 14th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2013, he is forging an international career throughout Europe, Asia, and North America to great acclaim.

Kholodenko has collaborated with distinguished conductors including Leonard Slatkin, Miguel Harth-Bedoya, Yuri Bashmet, Carl St.Clair, Vladimir Spivakov, Valdimir Fedoseyev, and Cristian Mecalaru. In North America, he has appeared with the Atlanta, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, and San Diego Symphony Orchestras, among others, and traveled extensively across the United States for solo recitals.

Internationally, he has performed with the orchestras of BBC Scottish, Kristiansand, Malmö, Madrid RTVE, Qatar, Norwegian Radio, and Sydney, and made recital debuts in Paris, Lucerne, Singapore, Budapest, Porto, and appeared throughout Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Japan. In 2013, he held a residency at the Mariinsky Concert Hall where he was named artist of the month by Valery Gergiev. Festival appearances include the Aspen Summer Music, Brevard Music Center, Flâneries Musicales de Reims, Pharos Chamber Music, Stars of the White Nights, and Festival del Sole.

A committed chamber musician, Kholodenko took home the 2013 Cliburn prize for best performance of a piano quintet with the Brentano Quartet. He has also collaborated with the Enso Quartet, violinists Vadim Repin and Alena Baeva, and cellist Alexander Buzlov. Also interested in composing, he performed a stunning cadenza in Mozart’s Concerto No. 21 in C Major, K. 467 during the Cliburn Competition’s Final Round—which he composed himself on the plane from Moscow to the Competition in Fort Worth Born in Kiev, Kholodenko is the first musician in his family.

At Walnut Village I have my own place that fits me perfectly, and the freedom to do other things. New things. With new people. Home is where the heart is, and mine is here.

Holiday Magic

The Nutcracker returns in an enchanting production by American Ballet Theatre IN A WHIRL OF dancing snowflakes and mice making mischief, The Nutcracker returns to Segerstrom Hall with American Ballet Theatre’s superb production of this classic ballet. Even people who don’t like ballet love this Nutcracker!

It’s hard not to get excited. It has amazing sets, colorful costumes, a cast of more than 100 performers, and of course, stellar performances from some of the world’s leading dancers.

The Orange County Register praises it as a “colorful, cinematic creation filled with spectacle, humor and eye-popping costumes,” and the Los Angeles Times calls it “A joyful

Nutcracker that is ravishing and clever enough to inspire multiple viewings.” Pacific Symphony performs the evocative Tchaikovsky score, which takes Clara and her prince on a dreamlike journey with life-sized toy soldiers, dancing flowers, and a beautiful pas de deux by the prince and the Sugar Plum Fairy. You’ll walk out of the theater smiling and hoping to dream of sugar plums.

It’s a mariachi holiday with Fiesta Navidad JOIN US for one of Orange County’s most beloved annual holiday traditions as the Grammy® Award-winning Mariachi Los Camperos returns to Segerstrom Center with Fiesta Navidad. The group has become a firm favorite at the Center during the holidays, performing here for more than 20 years.

The mariachi group was created in 1961

by Natividad “Nati” Cano, who named the band after the restaurant in Los Angeles he had just opened: La Fonda de Los Camperos, meaning countrymen. It was a home base for Los Camperos. With Nati leading the band for the next 50-plus years, the group played at prestigious venues through the United States and Mexico, including Lincoln Center, The Kennedy Center, the Getty Center, and Walt Disney Concert Hall.

Mr. Cano played a fundamental role in the development of mariachi music in the United States by training and mentoring new generations of mariachi musicians. They were the first Mariachi to perform in New York’s Carnegie Hall. Nati, who passed away in 2014, has been succeeded by Jesus “Chuy” Guzman, who continues the rich music and cultural tradition of mariachi.

Filled with music and dance, this colorful celebration of Mexican holiday traditions is perfect for the whole family.

Holiday Magic, continued

Let the Sunshine (Band) In ONE MAN’S PASSION for music in the 1970s turned into a new title for him: Founder of the Dance Revolution.

The year 1973 was a turbulent one, with the Vietnam conflict, the Watergate investigation, and protests by university students. Who could possibly cheer up the nation? Harry Casey—better known as KC—wanted that job.

He formed KC and the Sunshine Band while working in a record store and managed to convince the owner of a local recording studio and distribution company to give them a try.

The band’s first album entered the R&B charts in the top 15. The second album sent them off the charts completely, going triple platinum with four No. 1 hits. This was the first band since the Beatles 10 years before to score four No. 1 hits in a 12-month period.

Not only did KC make a lot of people happy, but he influenced a whole generation in fashion, hairstyles and dance styles. The “Sunshine” represented Florida, where it all began, and made Miami a major music center of influence.

KC has been the recipient of a long list of awards, including Grammys and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

KC got his wish and more! The band is still going strong all these years later. As new generations discover them, their record sales have soared to more than 100 million. Everyone from 8 to 80 starts dancing when they hear “Get Down Tonight” or “Rock Your Baby,” and that’s the way KC likes it.

There’s no place like hope.

BECOME A CASA VOLUNTEER. Children in foster care who have a CASA volunteer are more likely to succeed in school and adjust to change. And they’re half as likely to re-enter the foster care system later.

As a volunteer, you can make all the difference for a child who has experienced abuse or neglect in your community.

Get involved today.

CHANGE A CHILD'S STORY.
