Meet our Music Director

Daniel Meyer Music Director

As Music Director of the Erie Philharmonic and Artistic Director of the Westmoreland Symphony and Cleveland’s BlueWater Chamber Orchestra, Daniel Meyer has reinvigorated orchestras with his innovative programs, engaging presence and keen musical intellect. Recently named Music Director of the Lakeside Symphony Orchestra, Mr. Meyer took the helm of this historic summer music festival in July 2019.

In addition to working with world-renowned soloists such as Marc-André Hamelin, Sharon Isbin, Gil Shaham, Jeremy Denk, Daniil Trifonov, Midori, and Emanuel Ax, Mr. Meyer has commissioned new works by Michael Torke, Vivian Fung, and Zhou Tian. With a deep passion for connecting with audiences, Mr. Meyer continues to develop strong ties with the community through frequent radio and television appearances, newspaper interviews, music talks, appearances in local schools, and speaking from the concert stage. He has developed a brand new series of filmed performances with the Erie Philharmonic, broadcast on WQLN and streamed worldwide. He also leads the WSO in livestreamed concerts this season from the Palace Theatre and a groundbreaking virtual performance of Shostakovich’s String Symphony with the BlueWater Chamber Orchestra and Verb Ballets.

In his role as Director of Orchestral Activities at Duquesne University, Meyer has embarked on a recording project of the concertos of Lynn Purse and collaborates with pianist David Alan Wehr and bass-baritone Guenko Guechev. Meyer recently recorded the music of Hanson, Diamond, and Daugherty for the Bavarian Radio with the Bamberger Symphoniker, and his recent guest appearances include the Detroit Symphony, Rochester Philharmonic, Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra, Portland Symphony, Symphony Silicon Valley, Württembergische Philharmonie, Staatsorchester Darmstadt, and the Nuremberg Symphony in Germany.

As part of his highly-acclaimed tenure as Music Director of the Asheville Symphony, Mr. Meyer created the Asheville Amadeus Festival, featuring sold-out weeks of film, lectures, community events, and concerts centered around the music of Mozart and pianist Emmanuel Ax in 2015 and violinist Midori in 2017. In recent seasons he has frequently conducted the Rochester Philharmonic and the Pittsburgh Symphony, as well as guest engagements with the Indianapolis, Columbus, Phoenix, Eugene, Alabama, and Knoxville Symphonies.

His critically-acclaimed European debut took place with the Staatstheater Stuttgart Orchestra and violinist Thomas Zehetmaier, and he returned to Germany soon after for concerts with the Neue Philharmonie Westfalen, and to Austria with the Tonkünstler Orchestra in Vienna and the Wiener Jeunesse Orchestra. Mr. Meyer’s summer festival appearances have included the Cleveland Orchestra at Blossom, the Aspen and Grand Teton Music Festivals, the Chautauqua Festival, Brevard Music Center, and Lakeside Chautauqua.

Upon the invitation of Mariss Jansons, Mr. Meyer was named Resident Conductor of the Pittsburgh Symphony and Music Director of the Pittsburgh Youth Symphony, where he served until 2009. A native of Cleveland, Mr. Meyer studied conducting at the Hochschule für Musik in Vienna as a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar, and is a graduate of Denison University and the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. He composed and conducted works for ensembles at both schools, including a Stabat Mater for soprano, chorus and orchestra. At Boston University, Mr. Meyer received the Orchestral Conducting Honors Award and was awarded the prestigious Aspen Conducting Prize from David Zinman. He received an honorary doctorate from Edinboro University in 2016. www.eriephil.org

PROGRAM Notes Notes on the Program by Ken Meltzer

Ancient Airs and Dances (1931) Ottorino Respighi (1879 - 1936) The Italian composer Ottorino Respighi is best known for his “Roman Trilogy.”

The three orchestral tone poems—Fountains of Rome (1916), Pines of Rome (1924), and Roman Festivals (1928) all boast huge symphonic forces, masterfully employed to depict the sights and life of the historic Italian city.

After Respighi completed his “Roman Trilogy,” he told his wife: “Now I am much more interested in small orchestras and chamber ensembles.” And indeed, in 1927, the year before Roman Festivals, Respighi demonstrated his magic with reduced orchestral forces in his Trittico botticelliano (Three Botticelli Pictures), inspired by paintings by the great Italian Renaissance artist, Sandro Botticelli.

In 1931, Respighi composed yet another masterpiece for small orchestra based upon 16th-century artistic expression, his Third Set of Ancient Airs and Dances. Respighi completed the first two Sets in, respectively, 1917 and 1923.

Respighi’s Sets of Ancient Airs and Dances are beautiful orchestral arrangements of Italian and French lute music from the 16th and 17th centuries. Respighi found most of his material from lute pieces transcribed for the guitar and published by the Italian musicologist, Oscar Chilesotti.

Set III of the Ancient Airs and Dances, scored for string orchestra, is in four movements. This concert omits the second movement. The first movement, Italiana (Andantino), by an anonymous composer, ca. 1600, is a lovely song in ¾ time. The third movement is a Siciliana (Andantino), a slow-tempo song of Sicilian origin, in this case authored by an Anonymous 16th-century composer. The finale is a Passacaglia (Maestoso—Vivace), by Lodovico Roncalli, from 1692.

String Quartet (1873) Giuseppe Verdi (1813 - 1901) In the winter of 1872-3, Giuseppe Verdi traveled to Naples to supervise productions of his operas Don Carlo and Aida. The celebrated soprano Teresa Stolz was scheduled to sing Elisabetta in Don Carlo and the title role in Aida. But Stolz became ill, necessitating the postponement of the operas’ performances.

Verdi used the unexpected hiatus to compose a String Quartet. The Quartet received its premiere on April 1, 1873, at the Naples Hotel della Crocelle where Verdi was residing. Verdi wrote: “I’ve written a Quartet in my leisure moments in Naples. I had it performed one evening in my house, without attaching the least importance to it and without inviting anyone in particular…I don’t know whether the Quartet is beautiful or ugly, but I do know that it’s a Quartet!” Verdi’s String Quartet, the Italian composer’s only purely instrumental work, has long enjoyed the admiration of performers and audiences alike. This concert features the Quartet’s opening Allegro, notable for its wealth of thematic material and contrasts of mood.

ERIE PHILHARMONIC | 29

String Sonata No. 3 in C (ca. 1804) Gioachino Rossini (1792 - 1868) Gioachino Rossini is universally acknowledged as one of the towering figures of the 19th-century lyric theater. His many operas include such comic masterpieces as The Italian Girl in Algiers (1813), The Barber of Seville (1816), and Cinderella (1817). Rossini’s genius in more serious fare has also enjoyed greater recognition in the past several decades, thanks to successful productions of such operas as Semiramide (1823) and William Tell (1829).

Rossini’s first opera, The Marriage Contract, was still six years away when, in 1804, he composed his Six Sonatas for Strings. Rossini was only twelve at the time. Nevertheless, the Sonatas reveal a musician of considerable fluency, charm, and humor, thereby anticipating the operatic masterpieces for which Rossini is most beloved.

The Sonata in C was originally scored for a quartet of two violins, cello, and bass. Often however, as in these concerts, the work is performed by string orchestra. The Sonata opens with a sparkling, lyrical Allegro. The ensuing Andante imparts a more introspective and somber mood. The graceful finale (Moderato) is in theme and variations form.

Sonata in G for Oboe and Piano (ca. 1728) Giovanni Boni (ca. 18th Century) The Sonata in G is a piece edited and arranged by Evelyn Rothwell (1911-2008), a distinguished English oboist, and wife of conductor Sir John Barbirolli. For the Sonata, Rothwell turned to a series of six sonatas, published in England around 1728, collectively titled “Solos for a German Flute, Hoboy or Violin compos’d by Sigr. Giovanni Boni”. The history and life of the named composer continues to remain a matter of speculation.

Rothwell extracted four movements from the publication, and created a charming work in the popular Sonata da chiesa (Church Sonata) Baroque structure, alternating slow and quick-tempo movements (Preludio. Largo, Allegro, Alla Siciliana, Allegro).

Cristantemi (1890) Giacomo Puccini (1858 - 1924) On January 18, 1890, Amadeo, the second son of Italian King Victor Emanuel II, died. Puccini wrote a single-movement piece in memory of Amadeo, a string quartet entitled Crisantemi (Chrysanthemums). At the time, Giacomo Puccini was at work on Manon Lescaut, an operatic adaptation of the 1731 novel by Abbé Prévost.

Many of Puccini’s associates feared that his Manon Lescaut would suffer in comparison to Jules Massenet’s 1884 opera based upon the same subject.

Puccini remained undeterred. As he put it: “Massenet feels it as a Frenchman with the powder and the minuets; I shall feel it as an Italian, with desperate passion.” And indeed, the premiere of Manon Lescaut, at the Teatro Regio in Turin on February 1, 1893, proved the be the greatest triumph of Puccini’s career. The Turin audience called Puccini to the stage 25 times during the performance, and at the opera’s conclusion, the composer received 40 curtain calls.

The “desperate passion” that Puccini mentioned, as well as the lyrical genius so evident in such operas as Manon Lescaut, La bohème, Tosca, Madama Butterfly, and Turandot, may also be heard in Crisantemi. Indeed, music from Puccini’s Crisantemi made its way into the composer’s Manon Lescaut.

This concert features a transcription for string orchestra of the brief work for string quartet.

Toccata for Bassoon and Piano (1974) Nino Rota (1911 - 1979) The Italian musician Nino Rota is most celebrated for his many film scores, composed for such directors as Fellini, Visconti, Zeffirelli, and Coppola. But Rota was also a prolific and highly successful composer of concert music and opera.

Rota’s 1974 Toccata is derived from the composer’s Concerto for Bassoon and Orchestra. The brief work features spirited writing for both the bassoon and piano.

Concerto for Strings ‘Ala Rustica’ (ca. 1725) Antonio Vivaldi (1678 - 1741) Antonio Vivaldi’s compositions include numerous chamber works, sacred vocal music, and operas. But it is in the realm of the concerto that Vivaldi exerted his most profound influence. Vivaldi composed more than 500 concertos (including the beloved The Four Seasons) in which he explored a wide variety of solo instruments and instrumental combinations. The Concerto for Strings in G Major, RV151 is a work without soloists. Rather the entire string ensemble takes center stage.

The Concerto RV151 carries the nickname “Alla rustica” (“in a rustic style”). The work is in Vivaldi’s standard three-movement fast—slow—fast structure. A vibrant Presto and Allegro frame the brief slow-tempo Allegro.

The Erie Philharmonic Chorus, under the leadership of Thomas Brooks, is dedicated to promoting choral singing throughout the Erie area. Through collaborative performances with the Erie Philharmonic and independent concert opportunities of its own, the EPC endeavors to offer choral music of exceptional quality.

Our membership includes young professionals, 50-year veterans of the chorus, parents, grandparents, college students, couples, first-time choral singers, and professional music educators, all drawn together by our mutual love of making choral music at a high level.

We also now offer a Junior Philharmonic Chorus for talented high school singers from across the region.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the EPC has shifted to an entirely virtual format, offering instructional videos, conversations with guest soloists, and an exciting virtual recording project.

To learn more about the EPC and our programs, visit eriephil.org/chorus or contact Megan Kelly at megan@eriephil.org

Under the leadership of Artistic Director and Conductor Jonathan R. Moser, the EJP tradionally offers weekly rehearsals, sectional coaching, and advanced chamber ensembles for members of the string, brass, woodwind, and percussion sections of the orchestra. Performance opportunities include annual winter and spring concerts, a tour of schools, ensemble performances, an annual concerto competition, and a performance with the Erie Philharmonic.

Hampton Inn & Suites

COMING SOON!

NOW OPEN!

Erie’s newest hotel is now open! Scott Enterprises recently opened the new Hampton Inn & Suites hotel on Erie’s Bayfront, and is excited to open Oliver’s Rooftop restaurant, which will feature fine cuisine complimented by stunning views of Presque Isle Bay. This hotel and restaurant are part of the initial phase for the company’s vision of a mixed-used development among Erie’s Bayfront, Harbor Place.

Harbor Place will be built in phases and will include a waterfront restaurant, office space, two hotels, retail shops, parking garages, a skating rink, condominiums and apartments. Scott Enterprises will invest over $160 million in the development of Harbor Place.

“This project is a game-changer for the Erie community. The creation of Harbor Place will provide the downtown & Bayfront areas with a massive economic boost that will create jobs where Erie citizens can live, work & play while bringing visitors to our beautiful Bayfront.” ~Nick Scott Sr. www.ErieHarborPlace.com
