DANIEL HEGE

MUSIC DIRECTOR AND CONDUCTOR

The 2017-2018 season marks Daniel Hege’s eighth as Music Director and Conductor of the Wichita Symphony Orchestra.

Hege has been widely recognized as one of America’s finest conductors, earning critical acclaim for his fresh interpretations of the standard repertoire and for his commitment to creative programming. He served for eleven seasons as the Music Director of the Syracuse Symphony and was appointed Music Director of the Wichita Symphony in June 2009. As of the 2015/16 season, he was named Principal Guest Conductor of both the Tulsa Symphony and the Binghamton (NY) Philharmonic.

In addition to programming and conducting the subscription concerts in Wichita, Mr. Hege has conducted a number of cutting edge concerts, including Bartok’s Bluebeard’s Castle with the legendary Samuel Ramey in the title role and with sets by the glass sculptor Dale Chihuly, and a semi-staged production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Carousel in collaboration with Music Theatre Wichita.

Daniel Hege has guest conducted the Detroit, Seattle, Oregon, Colorado, San Diego, Columbus, and Phoenix symphonies as well as the Calgary Philharmonic, among others. International engagements include performances with the Singapore Symphony and the St. Petersburg Symphony at the Winter Nights Festival. Recent and upcoming guest conducting engagements include appearances with the Rochester, Buffalo, Oklahoma, Rhode Island and Naples Philharmonics; the Louisville, Sarasota and Florida Orchestras; and the Houston, Edmonton, Pacific, Puerto Rico, Hartford, Omaha, Madison, Tucson, Charleston and Virginia symphonies.

Daniel Hege received his Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1987 from Bethel College, Kansas where he majored in music and history. He continued his studies at the University of Utah, where he received a Master of Music degree in orchestra conducting and also founded the University Chamber Orchestra and served as Assistant Conductor of the University Orchestra and Music Director of the Utah Singers. He subsequently studied with Paul Vermel at the Aspen Music Festival and in Los Angeles with noted conductor and pedagogue Daniel Lewis.

In May 2004, Mr. Hege was awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters from Le Moyne College in Syracuse for his contributions to the cultural life in central New York State.

Born in Colorado, Mr. Hege currently resides in Syracuse with his wife and their three daughters.

Though little of his other music is familiar, he composed extensively in every genre except symphony and wrote superbly for piano. In fact, for solo keyboard music, Hummel was the most important link between Mozart and Chopin.

He was one of Beethoven’s most successful and distinguished contemporaries. As a child, he studied fortepiano and composition with Mozart, living with Wolfgang and Constanze in Vienna intermittently between 1785 and 1788. At Mozart’s urging, Hummel’s father–a conductor and director of a music school in Pressburg--arranged for the boy to

The piece adheres to late classical models, with a standard three-movement structure.

Hummel’s opening Allegro moderato is in concerto-sonata form; a full orchestral exposition precedes the soloists entrance.

Phrasing is foursquare and balanced, demonstrating a full mastery of the high classic idiom. He takes advantage of the bassoon’s wide range and flexibility, incorporating both wide leaps and rapid runs in 16th notes in the solo part.

Like many of Mozart’s slow movements, the central Romanza in B-flat Major is indebted to Italian opera. The elegantly ornamented solo line provides ample opportunity for the bassoonist to shape delicate phrases and long melodic lines. Mr. Oakes plays a cadenza of his own devising, freely based on the Romanza’s melodic material and other themes borrowed from Hummel’s choral works.
