Utah Symphony Associate Conductor
Chosen for Prestigious National
Conducting Showcase

Utah Symphony Associate Conductor Vladimir Kulenovic is one of six emerging conductors who will lead the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra at the 2013 Bruno Walter National Conductor Preview, a prestigious conducting showcase organized by the League of American Orchestras.

The showcase, scheduled for Wednesday, March 13, takes place every other year in partnership with a League member orchestra and brings some of the most talented rising conductors to the attention of American orchestra leaders.

“With this showcase, the League is providing orchestras with an efficient way to identify talented conductors and perhaps discover their next music director or staff conductor,” said Jesse Rosen, League President and CEO. “It's an exciting experience as well as a valuable service.”

Other Preview conductors selected for this honor are: Joshua David Gersen, music director, New York Youth Symphony and John S. and James L. Knight Foundation Conducting Fellow, New World Symphony; Keitaro Harada, assistant conductor, Arizona Opera and music director, Phoenix Youth Symphony; Gavriel Heine, staff conductor, Mariinsky Theatre (Russia) and music director, Northern Lights Festival Opera (Minnesota); Sameer Patel, assistant conductor, Fort Wayne Philharmonic; and Benjamin Rous, associate conductor, Virginia Symphony. (See links to biographies and photos below). The six winners were chosen from a pool of more than 90 applicants, and were selected for their experience, talent, potential, and commitment to assume a greater leadership role with an American orchestra.

About the 2013 Bruno Walter National Conductor Preview in Jacksonville:
On March 13, 2013, the six conductors will lead the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra before an audience of music director search committee members, artistic administrators and artist managers and agents from across the country. Each participant will have forty minutes of podium time, enabling orchestra officials and managers to witness rehearsal techniques and abilities. The League also facilitates meetings between the conductors and prospective employers.

History of the Program
Since 1995, 75 conductors have been showcased in The Bruno Walter National Conductor Preview; more than 50 orchestras have engaged these conductors for various appointments as a direct result of the Preview. Past conductors have included Carlos Miguel Prieto, music director of the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra and the YOA Orchestra of the Americas; Mei-Ann Chen, music director of the Memphis Symphony Orchestra and Chicago Sinfonietta; Giancarlo Guerrero, music director of the Nashville Symphony Orchestra; and Laura Jackson, music director of the Reno Philharmonic.

The Mysterious, Happy Life of Brown Bag

Salt Lake County Library Services Presents
"The Mysterious, Happy Life
of Brown Bag"

Friday, March 22, 2013 at 4:00 and 7:00 p.m.

Salt Lake County Library is very pleased to present two free performances of the award-winning play "The Mysterious, Happy Life of Brown Bag" on Friday, March 22 at 4:00 & 7:00 p.m. at the Viridian Event Center in West Jordan.

The one-act play tells the poignant story of a boy who was born with a very unique physical difference, and chronicles his struggle to fit in, told from the perspective of his mother and his first-grade school teacher. The timely themes of the play explore bullying, diversity, parenting and education, as well as the inevitability of human fragility. This thought-provoking and entertaining show will be followed by a panel discussion. Presented in partnership with Pygmalion Productions and Art Access.

The play was first produced by Pygmalion Productions for the 2010 Page-to-Stage Festival at Rose Wagner Theatre in Salt Lake City, where it won the festival’s “Best Play” and “Best Production” awards. Since then it has been performed at Art Access in Salt Lake City, at the 2011 Troubled Youth Conference in Snowbird for professional educators, at a staff day for Salt Lake County Library and a conference for the Utah State Office of Education. In the fall of 2011, Pygmalion was invited to perform "Brown Bag" at each of the Washington County middle schools, which amounted to six performances in five schools in two days, where over 3,000 students got to see it. It was also performed again at Rose Wagner for the Rose Exposed event last year.

Utah Symphony to Conclude Mendelssohn Symphony Cycle

Utah Symphony to Conclude
Mendelssohn Symphony Cycle

February 22 and 23 at 8 p.m. in Abravanel Hall.

The Utah Symphony and Music Director Thierry Fischer will conclude a season-long performance cycle of Felix Mendelssohn’s five symphonies with a concert featuring the first and last symphonies by the composer.

Along with Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 1 and Symphony No. 5 “Reformation,” the orchestra will feature Utah Symphony Principal Bass David Yavornitzky soloing on “Double Bass Concerto” by Hans Werner Henze, February 22 and 23 at 8 p.m. in Abravanel Hall.

Like many of the world’s most famous composers, Mendelssohn is considered by many to have been a child prodigy. His first symphony was completed at age 15, following prior completion of dozens of smaller symphonic works. He first presented Symphony No. 1 to his teacher and mentor, Carl Zelter, who was impressed by the young apprentice’s growth and promise.

Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 1 displays musical elements from composers like Bach, Mozart and Beethoven. These influences are reflected in the style, structure and counterpoint of the piece, and provide a foundation for which Mendelssohn later developed his own artistic voice.

While composing his Symphony No. 5 “Reformation,” Mendelssohn had the 300th anniversary of the Lutheran Augsburg Confession in mind. He worked through an illness to finish it before the commemoration. To his dismay, the commemoration never occurred due to political unrest in Europe, but the piece was still set to premiere in Berlin a few years later. Unfortunately, Mendelssohn this time withdrew the piece as he felt it wasn’t good enough, and the symphony wasn’t published until after his death. The final movement features the well-known hymn, “A Mighty Fortress is our God.”

The performance of modern composer Hans Werner Henze’s “Double Bass Concerto” will be a Utah Symphony premiere. Henze was a German composer who moved and composed in Italy after political disruption. His works are varied and display influences of neo-classicism, serialism, atonalism, and some jazz and rock.

Fischer and Toby Tolokan, Utah Symphony Vice President of Artistic Planning, will present a free pre-concert chat each night, one hour prior to the start of the performance on the orchestra level of Abravanel Hall.

Tickets can be purchased by calling (801) 355 ARTS (2787), in person at the Abravanel hall ticket office (123 W. South Temple) or by visiting www.utahsymphony.org.

Music of "Les Mis" and "Miss Saigon" Headline Utah Symphony Concert

Music of "Les Mis" and "Miss Saigon"
Headline Utah Symphony Concert

Musical selections from “Les Miserables” and “Miss Saigon” March 1-2 at 8 p.m. in Abravanel Hall.

Musical selections from “Les Miserables” and “Miss Saigon” will come to life in a musical exposition with the Utah Symphony, the Utah Symphony Chorus, and several Broadway stars including Terrence Mann, who performed the role of Inspector Javert in Broadway’s original cast of “Les Miserables.”

The Utah Symphony and Utah Symphony Chorus, led by Principal Pops Conductor Jerry Steichen, will present this program, titled “Do You Hear the People Sing,” featuring symphonic renditions of “Stars”, “I Dreamed a Dream”, “Bring Him Home,” “The American Dream,” and other selections by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg March 1-2 at 8 p.m. in Abravanel Hall.

These performances will also bring to light several original songs from some of Boublil and Schönberg’s shows that were cut from the stage productions, as well as new arrangements of some well-known tunes.

Boublil and Schönberg will be in attendance, fresh off the heels of their run at the Oscars for the recently released film version of “Les Miserables.”

“Les Miserables” is the world’s longest running musical, with some of the most beloved music in the musical theater repertory. It has been known to move audiences through the written word, on the stage and most recently with its premiere on the silver screen. The story follows the interrelated lives of several characters living in post-revolutionary France, and the music displays their stories with an exquisite array of emotions.

The story and music of “Miss Saigon” is based on Puccini’s popular opera “Madame Butterfly.” The story follows a young American soldier in Vietnam who meets the young and beautiful Kim, a Vietnamese woman who falls madly in love with him. The story and music convey the tragic love story as Kim, in the end, makes the ultimate sacrifice to ensure her son has a good future in America.

The concert will feature other musical selections from “Miss Saigon” (based on Puccini’s popular opera “Madame Butterfly”), “Martin Guerre”, “La Revolution Francaise” and “The Pirate Queen.”

Tickets can be purchased by calling (801) 355-ARTS (2787), in person at the Abravanel hall ticket office (123 W. South temple) or by visiting www.utahsymphony.org.

UMFA Presents Bierstadt to Warhol: American Indians in the West

Utah Museum of Fine Arts Presents
Bierstadt to Warhol:
American Indians in the West

Featuring the non-mythologized everyday life works and thought-provoking themes of artist Shonto Begay of the Navajo Nation. On view now at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts through August 11, 2013.

Bierstadt to Warhol: American Indians in the West is an ambitious exhibition comprising more than 100 oil paintings, sculpture, and works on paper drawn primarily from the Diane and Sam Stewart Collection. It examines depictions of American Indian identity (by both natives and non-natives) in a diverse array of styles: from the traditional European schools to Modernist abstraction and conceptual renderings of cultural motifs.

Subject matter focuses on the Pueblo people of Taos and Santa Fe, New Mexico but other important and impactful portraits of American Indians are also included. Artworks range in tone from the romantic and ideal to the utterly real, sometimes taking on sensitive subject matter that is often inherent to contemporary American Indian identity.

This exhibition negotiates the devices and implications of portraiture as a historical genre, to show that a portrait can either fashion a mythologized persona or an authentic personal dynamic that speaks to lived experience.

Utah Symphony Brings Italy to Utah with Mendelssohn's "Italian"

Symphony Brings Italy to Utah
with
Mendelssohn's "Italian"

The Utah Symphony and Music Director Thierry Fischer will transport listeners to the streets of Italy with Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 4 “Italian.”

The orchestra will also perform “In the South” by Edward Elgar and Stravinsky’s Concerto in D major for violin, featuring internationally renowned violinist Baiba Skride, February 8 and 9 at 8 p.m. in Abravanel Hall.

With all of its charms, architecture and art, Italy has enchanted and inspired many artists and composers, including German composer Felix Mendelssohn and English composer Edward Elgar.

Mendelssohn spent a year passing through Venice, Florence, Rome, and Naples before he returned home. He spent his time painting watercolors, however, the open vistas, religious gravity and mighty architecture of Italy is more fully portrayed in his music. His Symphony No. 4 reflects a sunny and bright Italian summer day.

Elgar received inspiration for “In The South,” considered a tone poem, while passing through the Italian town Alassio. The piece evokes the charm of the coastal town with mood-shifting and colorful tones.

Stravinsky’s Concerto in D major reveals what he called his “passport chord.” While writing the piece, he was unsure of whether the desired chord could be played on the violin, but discovered that it was possible for the most talented of violinists to do. The chord is the declarative opening of each movement of the concerto. Skride will solo with the orchestra on this piece.

Fischer and Toby Tolokan, Utah Symphony Vice President of Artistic Planning, will present a free pre-concert chat each night, one hour prior to the start of the performance on the orchestra level of Abravanel Hall.

Tickets can be purchased by calling (801) 355-ARTS (2787), in person at the Abravanel Hall ticket office (123 W. South Temple) or by visiting www.utahsymphony.org.

Baiba Skride, Guest Artist
Baiba Skride has appeared with prestigious orchestras such as the Sinfonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunk, Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Tonhalle Orchester Zürich, Orchestre de Paris, Philharmonia Orchestra, Sydney Symphony and the US orchestras of Philadelphia, Houston and Cincinnati. Conductors she regularly collaborates with include Charles Dutoit, Thierry Fischer, Paavo Järvi, Neeme Järvi, John Storgårds and with her peers, Andris Nelsons , Kirill Petrenko and Vasily Petrenko.

Recent highlights included Skride’s much anticipated debut with the Berlin Philharmonic playing Berg “To the memory of an Angel” with Andris Nelsons. The 2011/12 season saw their close collaborations continue with the Philharmonia Orchestra London performing Bruch violin concerto No.1 and with City of Birmingham Orchestra. She opened her Mozart residency with the RTE National Symphony Dublin performing all Mozart violin concertos and the Sinfonia Concertante. Skride performed with the Danish National Symphony and Thomas Sondergård, Stockholm Philharmonic and Niklas Willen, the Helsinki Philharmonic and Olari Elts, the Vienna Radio Symphony and Cornelius Meister, the Tonkünstler Orchester and John Storgårds, the Staatskapelle Weimar, the Czech Philharmonic and the Orquesta Sinfonica de Castilla y Leon.

In the USA Skride’s highlights include debuts with the Cleveland Orchestra at their Blossom Music Festival with Bramwell Tovey and further afield with the Boston Symphony and Andris Nelsons performing Shostakovich’s violin concerto No 2.

Skride’s growing commitment to contemporary music sees her world premiere the double concerto by the Danish composer Hans Abrahamsen with the Royal Danish and the Swedish Chamber Orchestras, with her long established chamber music partner and sister Lauma Skride. The duo enjoys great international acclaim following tours of North America and Japan. European appearances include the Wigmore Hall London and Gewandhaus Leipzig. Collaborations with Maxim Rysanov, Sol Gabetta and Bertrand Chamayou take her to the Schubertiade Hohenems.

Skride was born into a musical Latvian family in Riga where she began her studies, transferring in 1995 to the Conservatory of Music and Theatre in Rostock. In 2001 she won the 1st prize of the Queen Elisabeth Competition. From November 2010 onwards Baiba has played the Stradivarius ‘’Ex Baron Feilitzsch’’ violin (1734), which is generously on loan to her from Gidon Kremer.

Utah Opera Announces 2013-2014 Season

Utah Opera 2013-2014 Season
Celebrating 35 Years

Utah Opera Artistic Director Christopher McBeth today announced Utah Opera’s complete 2013-2014 season on Classical 89.1 FM, during which the company will celebrate 35 years of opera in Utah.

The new season will feature five productions from October 2013 through May 2014: Richard Strauss’ “Salome,” Kathleen Cahill’s “Fatal Song,” Giuseppe Verdi’s “La Traviata,” Giacomo Puccini’s “Turandot” and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “Abduction from the Seraglio.” These productions will be performed at the Capitol Theatre, Abravanel Hall and the Jeanne Wagner Theater in Salt Lake City, due to Capitol Theatre renovations taking place in the fall of 2013.

“We have the great opportunity to thank our community for 35 years of support and engagement with a truly unique and exciting new season,” said Christopher McBeth, Utah Opera Artistic Director. “With five productions that range from grand and stirring to witty and intimate, there is sure to be something for everyone.”

The season will open with deception, power and seduction October of 2013 with a semi-staged performance of Richard Strauss’s chilling one-act opera, “Salome,” based on Oscar Wilde’s play of the same name. This large scale opera will be performed a select number of nights in Abravanel Hall with minimal sets and full costumes.

Then, the season continues in November 2013 with a special run of “Fatal Song,” a lighthearted cabaret opera about some of opera’s favorite divas written by Salt Lake Acting Company’s Resident Playwright Kathleen Cahill. These performances, part of Utah Opera’s ongoing American Opera Initiative, will be offered in the Jeanne Wagner Theater in a more intimate setting than most opera patrons have ever experienced.

In January of 2014, Utah Opera returns to the Capitol Theatre with Verdi’s tragic and beloved “La Traviata,” as Parisian courtesan, Violetta, eats, drinks and is merry until love and consumption turn her world upside down. This production of “Turandot” will be a remount of Utah Opera’s October 2006 production.

In March of 2014, Utah Opera audiences will journey to an exotic land with Puccini’s “Turandot”, as an Asian prince almost loses his head in an attempt to marry the cruelly beautiful princess Turandot. Having received rave reviews in Minnesota, Pittsburgh and Seattle, this co-production of “Turandot” is sure to be a highlight of the season.

The season closes in May 2014, with Mozart’s witty blend of comedy and drama in a production of “The Abduction from the Seraglio” Created by Arizona opera.

McBeth also announced a few key casting decisions for the season. Soprano Marcy Stonikas will perform the role of Salome with Stewart Robertson conducting. Soprano Maida Hundeling will sing Turandot with Renaud Doucet directing. Other cast and artistic staff information for each opera will be announced at a later date.

Season tickets for the 2013-2014 Utah Opera season will go on sale February 6 and can be purchased by calling 801-533-NOTE (6683) or by visiting www.utahopera.org. Seating is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Current Utah Opera subscribers will receive renewal forms via mail in early February.

Utah Symphony To Feature Special Performances of "Romeo and Juliet"

Valentine's Weekend Features
Special Performances of
"Romeo and Juliet"

The Utah Symphony and Music Director Thierry Fischer will present symphonic musical retellings of the tragic tale of Romeo and Juliet this Valentine’s Day weekend with a special, additional performance night on Thursday, February 14.

The orchestra will perform these Romantic works including Tchaikovsky’s “Romeo and Juliet” Fantasy Overture and selections from Prokofiev’s “Romeo and Juliet,” February 14, 15 and 16 at 8 p.m. in Abravanel Hall. Also on the program is Robert Schumann’s Concerto in A minor for Piano and Orchestra Op. 54, featuring award winning pianist Nicholas Angelich.

The classic tale of Romeo and Juliet has affected lovers of all ages with their passion and dedication for one another in the midst of a deadly family feud, and has inspired artists and composers to produce new renditions of the tale through film, music, art and dance.

Tchaikovsky’s “Romeo and Juliet” Fantasy Overture is no stranger to the passion and adventure Shakespeare created in his original tale. The overture presents the agonizing story in full fold. Moments of intensity represent the power struggle between the two families, the Montagues and Capulets, followed by one of the most recognizable love themes in music history.

The selections from Prokofiev’s “Romeo and Juliet” were originally written for the ballet in Moscow, but when the theatre dropped the ballet portion he finished it as a concert suite in order to present his music to the masses. This piece is one of the few non-political pieces Prokofiev wrote during that time. The music is stimulating and creates a canvas where listeners can visualize the classic story of Romeo and Juliet.

Robert Schumann’s Concerto in A minor was written during Schumann’s “Chamber Music Year,” and fittingly accompanies the theme of this Valentine’s Day weekend concert, coming from the Romantic era and originating from a love story. The piece was written for Schumann’s own love, his wife Clara. Preceding the work was the infamous legal battle to wed Clara between Clara’s father and Schumann. The music was written for Clara, who was the first one to perform the work at its premiere. Surprisingly this is the only piano Concerto Schumann wrote. Although no one knows the reason why, it could be to be an exemplar of compositional intention and deep devotion for his beloved wife Clara. This work will feature American Pianist Nicholas Angelich.

Fischer and Toby Tolokan, Utah Symphony Vice President of Artistic Planning, will present a free pre-concert chat Friday and Saturday night, one hour prior to the start of each performance on the orchestra level of Abravanel Hall.

Tickets can be purchased by calling (801) 355-ARTS (2787), in person at the Abravanel hall ticket office (123 W. South Temple) or by visiting www.utahsymphony.org.

About Nicholas Angelich, Pianist
Born in the United States in 1970, Nicholas Angelich began learning the piano with his mother at the age of five and gave his first concert when he was seven. At thirteen he entered the Paris Conservatoire, where he studied with Aldo Ciccolini, Yvonne Loriod and Michel Béroff, taking first prizes for piano, for chamber music and for piano accompaniment. He subsequently studied with Marie-Françoise Bucquet, Leon Fleisher and Maria Joao Pires, winning prizes at the Robert Casadesus and Gina Bachauer International Piano Competitions and the Umberto Micheli Competition. In 2002 Leon Fleisher presented him with the Young Talent Award at the International Klavierfestival Ruhr.

Nicholas Angelich now performs in concerts across Europe and North America with, amongst others, the Orchestre National de France and Marc Minkowski, and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France and Paavo Järvi. He made his debut at Lincoln Center, New York, in May 2003 with the New York Philharmonic under Kurt Masur, and in 2004 toured Japan with Masur and the Orchestre National de France. His recital repertoire includes the Beethoven sonatas and Liszt's Années de Pélérinage, but his interests also extend from Bartók to Boulez and Messiaen to Pierre Henry, who dedicated his Concerto for piano without orchestra to him.

His interest in chamber music has led Nicholas Angelich to work with Gautier and Renaud Capuçon, Augustin Dumay, Gérard Caussé and the Ysaÿe and Prazak Quartets. His first recording for Virgin Classics, the Brahms trios with Gautier and Renaud Capuçon, won the “Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik”. In the summer of 2005 Nicholas Angelich furthered his collaboration with Virgin Classics and Renaud Capuçon, with a recording of Brahms’ Violin Sonatas; the disc was awarded a Diapason d’Or, CHOC du Monde de la Musique, and made Gramophone’s Editor’s Choice. In January 2006, again on Virgin Classics, with whom he has signed an exclusive recording contract, Nicholas released a recital disc of Brahms’ Ballades, Rhapsodies and Paganini Variations, again highly praised by the press with a CHOC du Monde de la Musique, “10” de Classica Répertoire and singled out as a Gramophone Editor’s Choice. In July 2006, Gramophone singled him out as one of “Tomorrow’s Classical Superstars”. Nicholas Angelich’s second recital and latest release on Virgin Classics will further his Brahms discography with the composer’s demanding piano works Opp.116 to 119.
