Good Evening! As we continue our celebration of TSO’s Perfect 10 Season, tonight’s concert is one of “firsts” and “lasts”. It is impossible to think of the symphonic genre without invoking the name of Ludwig van Beethoven. Tonight’s “last” is the performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4, completing Maestro Bougie’s goal to perform all 9 of Beethoven’s symphonies within the Orchestra’s first 10 seasons. The “firsts” are the reprise of the very first piece played on TSO’s Premiere Concert—Mozart’s Overture to the Marriage of Figaro and then TSO’s premiere performance of a Mozart piano concerto. Mozart, as with Beethoven’s transformation of the symphonic genre, created double-exposition sonata form—perfectly melding the themes of soloist and the orchestra. Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 23, in A Major, is the prime example

of Mozart’s work and probably the most studied piano concerto of all time—you do remember your university music appreciation course, right?

It is a pleasure to welcome pianist Tatiana Roitman-Mann to the Perot stage this evening. An exceedingly accomplished performer in her own right, she is also the wife of the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra’s music director/conductor, Phillip Mann. We are grateful for the collegial relationship that TSO now enjoys with the musicians, conductors, and staff of the Arkansas Symphony and the Shreveport Symphony. In many ways TSO has opened the door to expanded opportunities for the musicians in these larger orchestras—something that really wasn’t happening 10 years ago.

Enjoy the Concert!

R. Andrew Clark, Executive Director

EXPLOREthe TSO:


WELCOME TO THE HISTORIC PEROT THEATRE!The Perot Theatre opened in downtown Texarkana in 1924 and was hailed as the jewel of the Saenger Theatre chain. Called the most beautiful theatre in the South, it featured silent movies, movie premieres, the nationally broadcast Fifth Annual War Bond Drive with host Orson Welles, and live performances by Annie Oakley, Will Rogers, and John Barrymore. By the mid-20th Century the theatre was owned by the Paramount Corporation and served as the entertainment hub of downtown Texarkana. Due to the growth of the modern movie plex and the population shift to the Northwest, the theatre had been reduced to a B movie house by the 1970s. The theatre officially closed in 1977 when the City of Texarkana, Texas purchased it for $19,000 as part of the Model Cities Program. With the help of Texarkana natives H. Ross Perot and his sister, Bette, the theatre was restored to its current elegance at a cost of $2.4 million and reopened in 1981. The theatre was renamed the Perot Theatre in honor of Gabriel Ross and Lulu May Perot, lifelong residents of the city and the parents of Ross and Bette.

This year Texarkana celebrates 34 years of outstanding artistic performances in the Perot Theatre, making it one of the keys to the renewal of downtown and a destination point for tourism throughout our region. Managed by the Texarkana Regional Arts and Humanities Council, under a contract with the City of Texarkana, Texas, the Perot Theatre is not only the primary performance venue of Texarkana’s own professional Symphony Orchestra, but has also, through TRAHC’s annual Perot Theatre Series, played host to some of the world’s best performers: Cary Grant, Anne Murray, Alvin Ailey Dance, New York City Opera, Warsaw Philharmonic, Marvin Hamlisch, Carol Channing, Harry Belafonte, Harlem Boys Choir, Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, Savion Glover, Roy Clark, Ray Charles, Houston Ballet, Tammy Wynette, Broadway blockbusters, and many more!

The Texarkana Symphony Orchestra is proud to partner with the City of Texarkana, Texas, and PTMC to have one of the most beautiful theatres in the country as its performance venue! For more information about the Perot, rental inquiries, or for a free tour contact the Box Office at 903-792-4992.

SPECIAL NOTEFor the enjoyment of everyone in the audience and for your safety, please do not leave your seat once the concert begins, and remain seated until the theatre lights are brought up for intermission or the conclusion of the concert. Thank you for your consideration of others and enjoy the evening!

GOLDEN RULES OF THEATREAttending a live performance is not the same as going to a movie. Please show courtesy to those seated near you and ensure magic moments in our theatre by respecting the following golden rules...

• Please turn off all electronic devices.

• Please unwrap all cough drops and candies before the curtain rises.

• If bringing children, instruct them in proper audience behavior, and familiarize them with the performance beforehand so they know what to expect.

• Please refrain from talking, humming, singing, or beating time to the music during the performance.

• Give yourself plenty of time to get to the theatre; late arrivals are disruptive. Late seating will only be done at appropriate pauses.

• Avoid kicking the back of the seat in front of you, even if it is done in time to the music. Please also prevent your children from doing the same.

• Please use moderation in applying perfume, cologne, or scented lotion, as many people are highly allergic to perfumes.

• Playing games, videoing performances, and any other uses of your mobile electronic devices are forbidden and inappropriate, and may be illegal. Please do not bring your iPad or other mobile electronic devices inside the theatre.


The Texarkana Symphony Orchestra Presents the Fifth Annual

Some Quick Facts about the Competition:

The primary purpose of the Competition is to bring awareness of the TSO and its mission to a broad cross-section of Texarkana and to raise important financial support.

Four community leaders compete for the honor of conducting the orchestra for one selection at the TSO Christmas at the Perot concert on Sunday afternoon, December 13, 2015, at 4:00p.m.

Anyone may vote to support their favorite candidate and support the TSO in the process. Each vote is $20 and you can vote for as many candidates as you wish, and as many times as your pocketbook allows!

Each competitor has been given the freedom to solicit votes in any manner they choose, so long as it is not illegal, immoral, or unethical!

Conducting Competitors will each receive their own baton, a conducting class from Maestro Marc-André Bougie, and an opportunity to conduct the orchestra at the dress rehearsal… beyond that, none of the competitors will know who has won until Santa brings them all on stage at the Christmas Concert.

Votes can be cast by visiting the Celebrity Conductor table at TSO’s fall 2015 Concerts, contacting the individual competitor or their manager, or calling the TSO office at 870-773-3401.


Meet Our Competitors in Alphabetical Order:

Dr. Emily Fourmy Cutrer joined Texas A&M University-Texarkana as President in January 2013. Under her visionary leadership, A&M-Texarkana has flourished and become a destination campus where students appre-ciate that their president knows them by name. A native Texan, Dr. Cutrer was born in San Antonio and raised there and in Houston. She attended Hollins College in Roanoke, Virginia and later The University of Texas at Austin where she earned her B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in American Studies. Her book The Art of the Woman: The Life and Work of Elisabet Ney was awarded the Texas Institute of Letters Award for Best Book by a Texas Au-thor in 1988. Community engagement and service is a passion of Dr. Cutrer’s and she shares her expertise and experience with many local non-profit organizations including TRAHC, United Way, LIFT, and the Wilbur Smith Rotary Club. Dr. Cutrer and her husband, Dr. Thomas W. Cutrer, also a cultural historian and Professor Emeritus at Arizona State University, have two grown children, Katherine and William. Over the past year, Dr. Cutrer has been inspired by the tireless efforts of two A&M-Texarkana students to found a musical ensemble, The Eagle Band, to perform at university, athletic, and community events. For this reason, she hopes to be selected as the 10th Anniversary Celebrity Conductor for the TSO so she may pass that high honor on to Alisa Robinson and Brenda Awuah. Emily's campaign managers are LeAnne Wright and Vicki Huckabee.

Tatiana Roitman Mann

Pianist

Pianist Tatiana Roitman Mann has appeared as a soloist and recitalist across North America and Europe. The BBC hailed her performance of G. Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue with Oxford Pops Orchestra as “formidable…both accurate and with rarely seen joy.” Mann’s radio broadcasts include H.Villa-Lobos' Mystic Sextet, on NPR's Performance Today, and B.Bartok's Contrasts on New York's classical music station, WQXR, G. Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue on Little Rock’s KLRE. Tatiana’s recording of the original, big band version of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue was released on Naxos in the album Jazz Nocturne - American Concertos of the Jazz Age.

As a performer of contemporary works, she premiered Speak No Evil by E. McKinley at the American Composer’s Forum, and performed For Don by M. Babbitt, with the composer in attendance, in celebration of his 90th birthday at Tanglewood’s Contemporary Music Festival. As the recipient of the Peggy Rockefeller Memorial Fellowship at Tanglewood, she worked with James Levine, Dawn Upshaw, Yo-Yo Ma, Charles Rosen and Claude Frank.

Tatiana’s interpretations of solo, concerto and chamber repertoire are characterized by their warmth and emotional intensity. As a versatile artist whose engagements range from concerto, solo and chamber performances to I. Stravinsky’s Petrushka with the San Diego Symphony and the Mainly Mozart education series Joyful Noise, she strongly believes the only way that “art” music can remain pertinent in the 21st century is by conveying and elevating its emotional quintessence.

Tatiana’s recent performances include L. van Beethoven’s Piano Concerto #4 op.58, C. Saint-Saens Concerto #4 op.44 in San Diego, CA, G. Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue with Bismarck-Mandan Symphony in ND, L. van Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy in Sydney, Australia, Rhapsody in Blue with the Arkansas Symphony, and chamber music concerts throughout the US. Tatiana’s recent performances include River Rhapsodies chamber music series, and various chamber music collaborations, including her piano duo Arête, with Bulgarian pianist Kristina Marinova and Violin-Piano Duo with Taiwanese Violinist Tien-Hsin Cindy Wu.

Dr. Mann holds graduate degrees from Manhattan School of Music, the Royal Academy of Music in London and University of Minnesota. Her principal teachers include Prof. Tatiana Sarkissova, Dr. Marc Silverman and Prof. Alexander Braginsky. Currently she is the Music Director of Wildwood Park for the Arts and the new Wildwood Academy of Music and the Arts (WAMA), a summer festival with the mission to provide access to excellence in music and arts education.

PROGRAM NOTES

Known in his early years as a musical prodigy and a master of keyboard playing, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) grew to become one of the greatest composers of all times. From his beginnings in Salzburg under the direction of his father Leopold – an accomplished musician in his own right – to studying and meeting with the some of the greatest musicians and pedagogues of the age (Padre Martini in Bologna, Johann Christian Bach in London, Joseph and Michael Haydn in Austria), Mozart was blessed with natural musical abilities and the perfect environment to foster such gifts. When Mozart left his native Salzburg in 1781 to settle in the musical capital of the world, Vienna, the young master was ready to take the world by storm and create even more music of timeless beauty. Sadly for us his work was cut short at the early age of 35 but the body of work he left behind – comprising well over 600 compositions – was a testament to the musical genius of a giant among giants.

In April of 1786, Mozart put the final touches to his comic opera Le nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro). The original 1784 story by French playwright Beaumarchais exposed the vices of contemporary nobility, a subject matter that then Austrian Emperor Joseph II wanted to avoid. Librettist Lorenzo da Ponte nevertheless convinced the monarch that he had re-worked the story as to not be offensive to good morals. Joseph II gave his blessing and the opera proved to be a monumental success. The Overture is the

first piece of music heard at the beginning of the opera. The initial murmuring of the orchestra evokes the excitement building up as the characters set on a series of comical situations. The fanfare at the end of the Overture suggests the wedding celebration taking place in the last act of the opera. The Overture was written only two days before the premiere of the work on May 1, 1786. One of Mozart’s most easily recognizable compositions, it is a model of compositional perfection compactly set in sonata-allegro form. TSO began its musical history on April 4, 2006 with the performance of this piece as the first selection on the program.

Born in Bonn, Germany, Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) lived through a difficult childhood to become one of music history’s greatest composers. Inspired by the earlier success of Leopold Mozart and his son Wolfgang, Beethoven’s abusive father wanted his talented son to be the next traveling prodigy. Unfortunately the young performer could not play well under pressure. Against all odds, Beethoven persisted in wanting to become a musician. He traveled to Vienna in the late 1780’s to study under Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809), and finally settled in the Austrian capital in 1792. Beethoven became a darling of the Viennese nobility, charming socialites with his impassioned piano playing style.

Towards the end of the 1790’s, signs of his impending deafness appeared. Beethoven

Tonight, TSO will reach two important milestones. We will first close our Beethoven symphony cycle with a performance of the composer’s Fourth Symphony. Then, we will perform our very first Mozart Piano Concerto. The Master’s 27 Piano Concertos – a musical canon as impressive as Beethoven’s 9 symphonies – represent a crowning achievement of the concerto genre and of the whole musical repertoire.


PROGRAM NOTES (CONTINUED)

became more introverted and avoided social contact. In 1802 he wrote the Heiligenstadt Testament, a series of letters addressed to his brother (but never mailed), and he came close to suicide. In the end, the master decided that he would not leave this world until he had written all the beautiful music still within him. This point usually marks the beginning of Beethoven’s second and most prolific period.

Above all, Beethoven is renowned as one of the greatest symphonists of all times, and each of his nine symphonies takes the listener through a unique and exhilarating journey. From his First, inspired by the teachings of Haydn, to the Third, the Fifth, and the Ninth which literally broke the mold of the genre, Beethoven evolved as a composer through his symphonic experiments. His even-numbered symphonies, often seen as stepping stones between his more well-known odd-numbered symphonies, are equally engaging and fascinating.

Beethoven wrote his Fourth Symphony in the summer and fall of 1806 while in Silesia visiting an admirer of his, Count Franz von Oppersdorff. The Count had been fascinated with Beethoven’s Second Symphony and he had convinced the Master to write another symphony for which he would have exclusive premiering rights. Beethoven agreed, halted his work on his Fifth Symphony, and completed the commission in a matter of weeks. The piece was then premiered in Vienna in March 1807 at the Lobkowitz Palace in Vienna. Oppersdorff was offended that Beethoven had broken their premiering agreement, and Beethoven sent a letter of apology. This was unfortunately characteristic of Beethoven who was always working to secure multiple sources of income to fund his career. His Fourth Piano Concerto and the Coriolan Overture

were also premiered on the same program. The concert was successful and the new symphony was positively received and reviewed.

The Fourth stands apart in Beethoven’s symphonic output as the least performed of his symphonies, even though its musical quality is undeniable, and that it is at least equal to all of the other eight symphonies. To his contemporaries, the Fourth seemed as a reversal of the revolutionary advancements that the Master had instigated in his first three symphonies, and in retrospect, a total contrast to the impetus and dramatic intensity of the Fifth. But Beethoven’s inspiration followed its own pathway, and in the scheme of his total symphonic output, the Fourth stood as a beacon of Classical elegance and simplicity in a tumultuous sea of changes and innovations.

The first movement begins with a slow introduction, Adagio, in the parallel key of B-flat minor. Beethoven’s first two symphonies had slow introductions, but none as enigmatic and transparent as this one. It then moves through a series of modulations leading to the Allegro vivace. The movement evolves in the traditional sonata-allegro format, with the usual rhythmic intensity expected from a quick-paced symphonic movement by Beethoven.

The Adagio in E-Flat Major begins with a lyrical theme played by the first violins, and accompanied by a dotted-rhythm accompaniment figuration in the second. A beautiful second theme is then introduced by the solo clarinet. The movement reaches a climactic point when the first theme, high-lighted by a series of strong accents, is brought back in E-Flat minor. Beethoven brings the movement to a close in the original key.

The Allegro vivace, followed by the Trio (Un poco meno Allegro) is in the style of a Scherzo, even


PROGRAM NOTES (CONTINUED)

though it is not titled as such. The scherzo was Beethoven’s novel approach to the Classical Minuet and Trio format. Usually in ternary form (Minuet-Trio-Minuet), Beethoven repeats the Trio and Minuet at the end of the second Minuet, essentially turning this movement into a five-part structure.

The Allegro ma non troppo is a rollicking cascade of sixteenth-notes only temporarily interrupted to give way to a more lyrical second theme. Haydenesque in style, this movement clearly shows Beethoven’s perfect ease in writing music of incredible lightness and verve. If there is one rule for all of Beethoven’s symphonies, it is that none of them follow a similar path. The Fourth in its apparent simplicity and grace shows yet again another facet of the genius of the Master.

Mozart wrote his Piano Concerto no. 23 in Vienna in the winter of 1785 and 1786. During these months he was mostly preoccupied with putting the finishing touches to his opera Le nozze di Figaro, but he did find time to work on three new piano concertos (nos. 22, 23, and 24). Mozart’s reputation as a musician in Vienna had been established through his work as pianist, and especially through his composition and performance of piano concertos. Mozart was planning ahead and knew that such pieces would be needed later that year.

Mozart’s ability to work on multiple projects of different characters at the same time was phenomenal. Concertos no. 22 and 24, albeit totally different from each other, were in a class by themselves because of their scope and orchestration (use of trumpets and timpani). Concerto no. 23 was more intimate, and as such foreshadowed the style of Mozart in his later years.

The first movement, Allegro, features a double-exposition – a formal contribution that Mozart made to the genre of the concerto. The two main themes are first introduced by the orchestra, in the same key, and then re-introduced by the soloist, with accompaniment, following the usual path of modulations encountered in most contemporary compositions. The pianist then plays a contrasting third theme that leads into the development section. Towards the end of the movement, the pianist is featured in a solo cadenza. The orchestra closes the movement.

The second movement, Adagio, is perhaps Mozart’ most dramatic slow concerto movement. Set in the unusual key of F-Sharp minor, the solo piano introduces its introspective first theme, in siciliano rhythm, followed by a hauntingly beautiful orchestral response. A middle section in A major ensues, featuring a number of dialogues between the piano and woodwinds instruments. The opening music then returns, more contemplative than ever. The movement ends quietly, preceded by pizzicati in the strings and rich woodwinds colors. This is music from the heavenly realm. Few compositions in all of music have achieved this level of beauty and transcendence.

The final Allegro assai, introduced by the solo piano, brings us back to the colorful tonality of A major. Set in the form of a sonata-rondo, the movement evolves at break-neck with a series of figurations in eight-notes. The concerto ends gloriously as the soloist and the orchestra race to the finish line of this musical adventure.
