Connection

As humans, we crave connection; it’s in our DNA. In late March 2020, in the earliest stages of the pandemic, authors Michelle Langley and Leah Coutts wrote an article for the World Economic Forum “Why do we turn to music in times of crisis?”. Their conclusion was that “Music creates a sense of belonging and participation. It is an antidote to the growing sense of alienation and isolation in society in general – even more so now we are being asked to actively practice social distancing and isolation. Social distancing and geographical isolation do not have to result in social isolation. In the face of uncertainty and panic, music is a social balm for soothing anxiety, enhancing community connections, and acting in defiance of a threat to community spirit”.

As Symphony NH approaches our 100th anniversary in April 2023, I have been thinking about 100 years of this connection through music; of the generations of New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts residents who have shared the experience of live orchestral music together. And of the generations of audiences sitting in the dark concert hall and having that visceral feeling of the orchestra as the sound washes over and through you – it’s thrilling! No live concert can ever be repeated exactly as it was the night before as each time is unique. And those experiences are shared for that one performance with the musicians, conductor, and audience. It creates a bond between the music makers and the audience that is special.

And while we are excited to celebrate this momentous anniversary, we are also looking to the future of Symphony NH and the next 100 years of musical connections.

Sincerely,

Deanna R. Hoying Executive Director

We’ve been patient; we’ve been missing live music, and missing hearing it together. I’m thrilled to experience it once again as Symphony NH begins its 100th year of musical gifts to our state.

In celebrating this extraordinary milestone, we are also celebrating the communities and people of New Hampshire with performances throughout the state – Nashua, Concord, Manchester, Berlin, Lebanon – in an auditorium, garden, opera house, theater, church, and college. From our opening “Tribute to New Hampshire” with the stunning Firebird Suite by Stravinsky, to “Momemtum” with Schubert’s elegant Unfinished Symphony, we invite all audiences to experience the power of music.

I’m honored to serve as president of the board of directors of New Hampshire’s oldest professional orchestra. I’m proud of the trustees, patrons, donors, and sponsors who are committed to ensuring that we are around for the next 100 years! I’m proud of the musicians who have persevered through one of the most tumultuous times in our history, and I’m proud of our Music Director, Roger Kalia, who brings talent, energy, innovation, and inspiration to our orchestra.

Music is the antidote to isolation and stress; it has the power to transcend walls and boundaries with its language. I’m pleased to join our executive director, Deanna Hoying, in our goal of connecting communities made up of diverse audiences. Thank you for joining us!

Sincerely, Mary Jordan

Meet Our Music Director Roger Kalia

Dear Friends, Welcome to our 100th anniversary season! I am excited to share with you a truly meaningful and special season for the historic occasion of Symphony New Hampshire’s 100th anniversary. The music reflects the orchestra’s past and present, highlighting our connection to New Hampshire in multiple ways while also focusing on our incredible musicians. Be sure to say hello to our new orchestra members as well! The exciting works we will perform have been carefully chosen as we mean to inspire and connect with all of you throughout the season.

I am honored to be the music director of New Hampshire’s oldest professional orchestra. From World War I to the Pandemic, Symphony NH has endured and shared the joy of music with communities throughout the Granite State. It is a true privilege to be a part of this organization’s history and its future.

Our upcoming season will be one of our most ambitious yet, with blockbuster works such as Stravinsky’s The Firebird Suite and Mahler’s First Symphony in thrilling chamber orchestra arrangements; a collaboration with the Nashua Choral Arts Society and Nashoba Valley Chorale in Mozart’s Requiem; hidden gems by Astor Piazzolla and Amy Beach; not to mention works by TJ Cole, Oliver Caplan, and John Adams. Our 100th anniversary concert - celebrated to the day of our first concert one hundred years ago - promises to be an event you won’t want to miss with the return of renowned cellist Amit Peled in Dvorak’s iconic Cello Concerto. As our anniversary falls towards the end of this season, our celebration is actually two seasons long. 2022-23 is just the beginning!

All of us at Symphony New Hampshire look forward to seeing you in the concert halls around the state. We are so glad that you are here to celebrate this milestone with us. See you soon!

Sincerely,

Roger Kalia Music Director, Symphony NH • Page 5 •

Roger Kalia Music Director, Symphony NH With a dynamic podium presence and noted passionate interpretations, Indian American conductor Roger Kalia has been celebrated by audiences and industry professionals alike, with Symphony Magazine recently recognizing him nationally as one of five first-year music directors for his innovative programming during the pandemic.

Praised for bringing a “fresh view to classical music” (The Republic, IN), Kalia is now in his fourth season as Music Director of the 100-year-old Symphony New Hampshire, and of Orchestra Santa Monica, and in his third season as Music Director of the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra. He is also Co-Founder and Music Director of the 12-year-old celebrated Lake George Music Festival in upstate New York. The recipient of an Elizabeth Buccheri Opera Residency with Lyric Opera of Chicago and five Career Assistance Awards from the Solti Foundation U.S., Kalia has been praised for his “extraordinary leadership” (Courier & Press).

A versatile communicator and frequent guest conductor, in recent seasons, Kalia has appeared with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center, Chicago Sinfonietta, Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, Szczecin Philharmonic (Poland), Boise Philharmonic Orchestra, Spartanburg Philharmonic Orchestra, and the symphony orchestras of Redlands, Lima, Adrian, Bakersfield, Great Falls, Owensboro, Spokane, and Wheeling.

Kalia leads Symphony NH this 2022-23 as it celebrates its 100th anniversary. Amongst the notable events are the season opening concert featuring works written about or in New Hampshire; a collaborative performance of Mozart’s Requiem with the Nashua Choral Society and Nashoba Valley Chorale; and the 100th anniversary concert of Symphony NH’s in April 2023 that marks their first concert to the day one

hundred years later in a program featuring cellist Amit Peled performing Dvorak’s Cello Concerto.

In addition to conerts with his Lake George Music Festival and the Evansville Philharmonoc, Kalia also debuts with the Columbus Indiana Philharmonic, Boston’s Longy Conservatory Orchestra Flex, and returns to the Redlands Bowl with the Hollywood Chamber Orchestra.

Inhisvariousmusicdirectorpositions,Kaliahasfocused on innovative artistic partnerships highlighting a variety of community partners. In November 2021, Kalia collaborated with composer Derrick Skye, historian Robbie Jones, and painter Kevin McCants to commission and premiere Orchestra Santa Monica’s first-ever art film titled We Gather: Black Life in Santa Monica told through music, visuals, and narrative, which has since received screenings at the California African American Museum, Santa Monica History Museum, and KUSC. In February 2023, We Gather will receive its first-ever live performance as part of OSM’s tenyear anniversary season. Kalia’s first two seasons as music director of the EPO have seen fruitful artistic collaborations with community organizations such as Historic Bosse Field, the Tri-State Hindu Temple, Evansville Civic Theatre, and the Evansville Wartime Museum. Kalia’s visionary programming has been featured on PBS’ “On the Road with Brick Briscoe” and “Regional Voices,” and in publications such as Evansville Living Magazine and Symphony Magazine. In 2011, Kalia and two of his colleagues co-founded the Lake George Music Festival, which has been described as “an unparalleled classical music experience in the Adirondacks” (Chronogram).

As one of the nation’s foremost classical music artist retreats, the festival presents cutting-edge artists and composers performing classical and new music, traditional and experimental concerts and recitals of various sizes, open rehearsals, informational talks,

“Kalia brings a fresh view to the classical music.”

— THE REPUBLIC (IN)

and a variety of community outreach programs.

Kalia has collaborated with a wide range of artists including singers Angela Brown, Reginald Smith Jr, and Shayna Steele; guitarist Meng Su; Cirque de la Symphonie; Electronic Dance Music (EDM) duo MAKO; Project TRIO; singer/songwriters Randy Newman and Randy Jackson; Philadelphia Orchestra concertmaster David Kim; violinists Nathan Cole, Glenn Dicterow and Sphinx Competition winner Annelle Gregory; dancers of the Charlotte Ballet and Ballet Indiana; pianists Fei-Fei Dong, Sean Chen, and Misha Dichter; rock musicians Johnny Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls and Nancy Wilson of Heart; the B-52s; sitar player Anoushka Shankar; actor Jack Black; and visual artist/astronomer Dr. José Francisco Salgado.

A native of New York State, Kalia holds degrees from Indiana University, the University of Houston, and SUNY Potsdam’s Crane School of Music. His primary mentors include David Effron, Arthur Fagen, and Franz Anton Krager with additional mentoring from David Zinman, Marin Alsop, Robert Spano, and the late Kurt Masur. Previous posts include Associate Conductor of California’s Pacific Symphony, Assistant Conductor of the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra, Conducting Fellow with the Chicago Sinfonietta, and Music Director of the Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra, Young Musicians Foundation (YMF) Debut Orchestra, and the Columbus Symphony Orchestra (IN). Kalia attended the Aspen Music Festival where he was a Conducting Fellow in 2010, and in 2011, Kalia won Second Prize in the Memphis Symphony International Conducting Competition, which led to his debut with the orchestra the following season and launched his professional career. Kalia is married to musicologist / violinist Christine Wisch.

“Kalia led with passionate intensity and a clear beat ... he’s one to watch.”

— LONG BEACH GAZETTE (CA) “... what a remarkable performance [of the Mendelssohn “Scottish” Symphony]...

Mendelssohn’s paean to the rugged beauty of that northern nation came alive in this fine performance, with the EPO under the extraordinary leadership of Kalia.”

— COURIER & PRESS (IN) “Kalia emerges to my ear as the [Lake George Music] festival’s secret weapon. His enthusiasm and positivism ... is unbounded. His leadership, impressive.”

— THE GLENS FALLS CHRONICLE (NY)

Q&A with Tiffany Lu What music are you listening to currently?

Sammy Rae and The Friends (jazz-funk-rock) DOMi & JD Beck (new-age jazz duo) Prokofiev Piano Concerto No. 2

Favorite composer? Brahms Favorite memory of a performance?

I don’t know if this is my *favorite*, but in one performance of the Tchaikovsky Capriccio Italien, my glasses flew off my head at the final chord and landed on the podium. I had no idea where they went. It was all anyone could talk about afterwards, and I was a little peeved about that for a while but eventually I decided I just needed to embrace the fact that this was what had made the performance memorable!

First piece you conducted: Dvorak Symphony No. 7, 3rd mvt.

What is a record you cherish?

The Stern/Lin/Laredo/Robinson/Tree/Ma recording of the Brahms B-flat Sextet was my alarm clock for several years in middle school. To this day that recording feels like “good morning” to me.

If you weren’t a musician, you’d be... Architect or writer What is your favorite piece in the Holiday Pops concert?

Charlie Brown Christmas. A timeless and brilliant expression of the holidays’ simultaneous warmth of gathering and the melancholy of passing time.

What is coming up next for you? I’ve just started a new job at the University

of Florida in Gainesville, FL as director of the Symphony Orchestra. Go Gators!

Music is... every adjective in the world! 

Joy to the World Joy to The world! the Lord is come Let earth receive her King Let ev’ry heart prepare him room And heaven and nature sing And heaven and nature sing And heaven and nature sing

It Came Upon a Midnight Clear It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold!

Peace on the earth, good will to men, From heaven’s all gracious King!

The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing.

Hark! the Herald Angels Sing Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”

Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With th’ angelic host proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem.”

Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”

Silent Night Silent night, holy night!

All is calm, all is bright.

Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child.

Holy infant so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace

Away in a Manger Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.

The stars in the sky looked down where he lay, The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay

Come and behold Him, Born the King of Angels!

Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, Born this happy morning; Jesus, to Thee be the glory giv’n; Word of the Father, Now in the flesh appearing, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord. 
