Welcome to this exciting night of music... and more! Here in Denver we are spoiled with so many great options for entertainment, and we are so thankful that you have chosen to spend your night with us.

At the Denver Phil, we do things just a tad differently from what

you may be used to. While we ask you to silence your phone,

we don’t ask you to put it away. In fact, we encourage you to

tweet along with us and to engage with other patrons while

you enjoy the music. We don’t ask you to hold your applause

until the end of a piece — if you feel moved by what you’ve just

heard, we welcome you to show your appreciation to our very

talented musicians. We also encourage interaction between

our patrons and our musicians. Please, feel free to introduce

yourself to your favorite players after the concert at our

reception on the lower level.

Most importantly, however, we want you to have a great

experience and to come back. Our musicians are extraordinarily

passionate about performing quality live music and our

volunteers have an equal passion for creating a meaningful and

unique experience. We think this excitement will be felt by all

that attend. Again, thank you very much for joining us tonight

— and we look forward to meeting you and seeing you over and

over again!

DEAR FRIENDS,

Sincerely,

Jon Olafson

excellent public speaking skills—entertaining and educating the

audience from both on and off the podium. He is also recog-

nized for his expertise in the complete spectrum of musical styles

and periods. He has worked with artists ranging from Leonard

Bernstein, Marilyn Horne, Daniel Barenboim and Joshua Bell to

in 1999 he was awarded the Leonard Bernstein Conducting

Fellowship.

Lawrence and his wife Cecilia, who is from Buenos Aires,

Argentina, have been married since 2003. They have two won-

derful children: Giovanna and Joseph. Lawrence is represented

ELIZABETH MONTGOMERYSOPRANO

Elizabeth was born to sing. However early on in her life it did not appear that would happen. From birth to age 14, Elizabeth would have many bouts with an extremely serious lung illness, spending much of her childhood in hospitals.

These illnesses took so much of her breath away that she could

not even blow up a balloon… her doctors did not expect her

to live. Through fervent prayers of her family and people in

ministry, she experienced a miracle healing in her lungs which

enabled her to begin singing.

In her teenage years, she recorded her first album of Gospel

music. Since then she has released nine albums of Christian

music. Classically trained, she has performed in numerous op-

eras including Twelfth Night and Hansel and Gretel. Elizabeth

has concertized throughout the U.S. and Europe, with over

3,000 church and secular performances to her credit.

In 2009, she shared her ministry in El Salvador, singing before

thousands in churches, villages, and schools. In 2010 and 2011,

her Christmas CD was played in over 100 secondary country

radio markets in the U.S. One of the highlights of her career was

to be chosen to sing the national anthem for the Denver Broncos

before 75,000 people and a marching band of 350 musicians.

Originally from Vinita, Oklahoma, Elizabeth graduated from

Oklahoma City University in 1990 with a music/business admin-

istration degree. In 1992, she earned her Master’s degree in

Music from the University of Denver.

MARK STAMPERARTISTIC DIRECTOR, COLORADO REPERTORY SINGERS

Mark is excited to be starting his second season as the artistic director of the Colorado Repertory Singers. As a native of South Carolina, he began his piano study at the age of 3 and eventually expanded his musical interests to include choral music.

He received a Bachelor of Music degree in Piano Performance

from Winthrop University in 1986 where he studied with Dr.

Eugene Barban. In 1989, Mark was awarded a Master of

Music degree with a concentration in choral conducting from

Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas,

where he was the assistant conductor of the Oratorio Chorus.

Mark served on several Broadway productions as musical

director and accompanist. Among his favorites are Thoroughly

Modern Millie, The Sound of Music, Ragtime, and 42nd Street.

With conducting experience widespread among many genres

of music, Mark’s depth includes ballet, choral, opera, orchestral,

and musicals. During any given season, he will be conducting at

several venues as well accompanying numerous recitals.

He is an award-winning conductor and has held appointments

as associate artistic director with the Texas Boys Choir, artistic

director of The Women’s Chorus of Dallas, artistic director of The

Singing Girls of Texas, and principal accompanist of the Turtle

Creek Chorale. Mark is currently the music director for the the-

ater program at Metropolitan State University, director of music/

worship at Applewood Valley United Methodist Church, and the

artistic director of the Northland Chorale.

We may be one of Denver’s oldest orchestras, but we certainly don’t act our age.

Dr. Antonia Brico, the first woman to con-

duct the Berlin and New York Philharmonic

Orchestras, founded our organization

in 1948 as the Denver Businessmen’s

Orchestra. Antonia settled in Denver

after conducting professional orchestras

across Europe and the U.S. She debuted

our orchestra to a packed auditorium

explaining the need for a classical music

venue to showcase the talents of local,

classically trained musicians “with no place

to play.” Twenty years later, we’d be known

as the Brico Symphony, and Antonia would

remain at the helm of the orchestra until

her retirement in the mid-1980s.

After nearly 40 years under Antonia’s

baton, the orchestra chose Russian-

American conductor Julius Glaihengauz

as its second music director. A graduate of

the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow,

Julius led the newly renamed Centennial

Philharmonic for 11 seasons.

In 1999, Professor of Music at the

University of Denver Dr. Horst Buchholz

took the baton. Our most recent name

change came in 2004, and we became

the Denver Philharmonic Orchestra. Horst

served as music director and conductor

through 2009, after which he was ap-

pointed the orchestra’s first Conductor

Laureate.

Adam Flatt came onboard as music

director in June 2010. Adam’s dynamic

and inspiring leadership over the next

three years continued Horst’s legacy and

further increased the artistic quality of the

orchestra.

We selected award-winning conductor

Dr. Lawrence Golan as our conductor and

music director when Adam left in 2013.

Lawrence, a professor and music director

at the University of Denver’s Lamont

School of Music, continues to produce

innovative and quality programming,

delighting musicians and audiences alike.

And while we have a 67-year history in

Denver, our mission is to continually rede-

fine the way our community experiences

and engages with classical music.

DECEMBER 20 ∙ HOLIDAY CHEER!by LEIGH TOWNSEND

MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS”JOHN WILLIAMS b. 1932John Williams is best known for his

action-packed movie soundtracks such

as Star Wars and Jurassic Park, but this

selection from Home Alone captures the

simpler, yet joyful exuberance of a family

reunited at the holidays. Although written

in 1997, it will remind many listeners of

Williams’ more recent work on the Harry

Potter films.

Run time: 3 minutes

FESTIVE SOUNDS OF HANUKKAHARR. BY BILL HOLCOMBE (1924–2010)Bill Holcombe was a piccolo player. How

often do you get to read that in program

notes? Most composers begin their

careers as performing musicians until they

can “make it big” as a composer; but

Holcombe led a double life in New York

City. He composed and arranged by day

and performed each night in Broadway

musicals, and he even toured with the

Tommy Dorsey Band! His Festive Sounds

of Hanukah is an animated collection,

including snippets from Rock of Ages,

Who Can Retell, Hanukah Hanukah,

My Dreidel, S’Vivon, and Hanukah oh

Hanukah.

Run time: 6 minutes

IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAREDDIE POLA & GEORGE WYLEThis popular Christmas tune was written

and recorded in 1963. Andy Williams re-

leased it on his album The Andy Williams

Christmas Album, but decided against

releasing it as a single. The innocence of

‘kids jingle-belling’ and of ‘marshmallows

for toasting’ was at odds with the heart-

break and chaos of American politics;

it had only been a few weeks since the

assassination of JFK and most Americans

would probably disagree with the instant-

ly old-fashioned sentimentality. Decades

later, the song glorifies a simpler idea,

a nostalgic time when friends and loved

“

ones really did make it the hap-happiest

time of the year.

Run time: 3:30 minutes

MERRY CHRISTMAS, BABYROBERT WHITE JOHNSON & CHRIS PELCERDon’t confuse this piece with the famous

WALTZ OF THE FLOWERS” FROM THE NUTCRACKERPYOTR ILYICH TCHAIKOVSKY (1840–1893)Words like ‘famous’ or ‘legendary’ fall short

in description of certain works of art, so far

and complete are their reach. Tchaikovsky’s

ballet Nutcracker was just such a creation.

Like Handel’s Messiah, it has long enjoyed a

place of de facto holiday tradition through-

out the Western world.

Nutcracker was based on the Alexandre

Dumas translation of a Hoffmann tale, in

which a little girl comes to the aid of her

Christmas gift (a magical nutcracker in the

costume of a soldier) in his battle with an

army of mice. Her assistance is rewarded

when her toy transforms into a prince and

takes her into his kingdom of sweets and

other colorful delights. The subjects of the

kingdom each dance for their guest in a

series of amazing set pieces that comprise

some of the most gorgeously evocative

music Tchaikovsky ever wrote. The “Waltz

“

WINTER” FROM THE FOUR SEASONSANTONIO VIVALDI (1678–1741)Antonio Vivaldi was the most influential

Italian composer of his time. Under his

hand, the mature Baroque concerto came

to full fruition. Opus 8 (1745), titled Il

cimento dell’armonica e dell’inventione

translates as “daring experiments with

harmony and invention.” It is a set of

twelve concerti, of which the Seasons are

represented in the first four. The works are

considered early program music, which

means they are supposed to evoke a

feeling of extra-musical narrative through

sound. Vivaldi set each season to a sonnet-

to dimonstrativo, or illustrative sonnet.

Although there is no definitive proof

Vivaldi wrote the sonnets himself, it is

widely acknowledged that he did write

the poetry and then set the music. Winter

clearly conjures up images of a frozen and

brittle landscape in the first movement.

The second movement is more contempla-

tive, sitting by the fire and listening to the

rain outside. The final movement builds in

intensity as the subject first walks cautious-

ly on the ice, then runs and slips when the

ice cracks underneath. The final line of the

poem reinforces the joy of winter, depicted

musically in the final effervescent flourishes

of the violin.

HALLELUJAH CHORUS” FROM THE MESSIAHGEORGE FRIDERIC HANDEL(1686–1759)George Frideric Handel was one of those

lucky composers who was famous in his

own lifetime. Although born in Germany

and trained in Italy, he is most famously

known as an English composer. The

Messiah is a sacred oratorio, a kind of

religious opera. Unsurprisingly, the text is

biblical, a mix of Old and New Testament.

The “Hallelujah Chorus” is the final

selection from part two of the work. Since

you may already be familiar with this,

try listening for something new tonight.

Listen to how Handel accentuates the

word “hallelujah” in three different ways,

emphasizing a different syllable at each

restatement. A trinity of praise, if you will,

from a very clever composer.

Run time: 4 minutes

SLEIGH RIDELEROY ANDERSON (1908–1975)Leroy Anderson was an American

composer with a sense of humor (have

you heard his piece for typewriter?). His

upbeat and playful compositions were

directly at odds with his very serious career

in the U.S. Counter Intelligence Corps

and the Pentagon during the late 1940s.

Sleigh Ride was completed in 1948 and

premiered in 1949 by the Boston Pops, led

by Arthur Fiedler. According to the com-

poser’s widow Eleanor Anderson, “Leroy

didn’t set out to write a Christmas piece

when he wrote ‘Sleigh Ride.’ His intentions

were to convey the entire winter season

through the imagery of a sleigh ride,

much in the way that Mozart did with his

piece of the same name.” No matter what

his original intentions, Sleigh Ride is the

quintessential holiday music, right down to

the last whinny.

THE CHRISTMAS SONGMEL TORMÉ & ROBERT WELLS (TORMÉ 1925–1999)(WELLS 1922–1998)Commonly subtitled Chestnuts Roasting

on an Open Fire, this smooth and silky bal-

lad was written by Mel Tormé in the middle

of the incredibly hot summer of 1944. The

Nat King Cole Trio first recorded it in 1946,

and his 1961 version, recorded with full

orchestra, is now generally regarded as the

definitive version.


OH HOLY NIGHTADOLPHE-CHARLES ADAMComposed in 1847, this French sacred

carol is also known as “Cantique de

Noël.” The original text is a poem by wine

merchant Placide Cappeau, although the

English text that is heard here tonight is

by Unitarian minister John Sullivan Dwight,

from 1855. The literal translation of the

poem is a bit harsh; the wrath of God and

His deliverance are the main message.

Dwight’s text is still about redemption and

rejoicing, but the language is a softer and

more hopeful.


After tonight’s concert, join us at

Oblio’s Cap Hill(1225 Logan)for a late-night happy hour!

Enjoy concert-themed cocktails and beer & wine drink specials. We’ll see you there!

Cheers!

A HOLLY JOLLY SING-ALONG!ARR. BY JAMES STEPHENSONb. 1969Have you been holding back? We happily

invite you to please sing along with us!

Run time: 11 minutes

DECK THE HALLDeck the hall with boughs of holly,

Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.

’Tis the season to be jolly,


Don we now our gay apparel,

Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la.

Troll the ancient Yule-tide carol,


See the blazing Yule before us,


Strike the harp and join the chorus,


Follow me in merry measure,


While I tell of Yule-tide treasure,


JINGLE BELLS Dashing through the snow,

In a one horse open sleigh,

O’er the fields we go,Laughing all the way.

Bells on bob tail ring,

Making spirits bright,

What fun it is to laugh and sing

A sleighing song tonight.

CHORUS:

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way!

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh!

3 5

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way!



A day or two ago,

I thought I’d take a ride,

And soon Miss Fanny Bright

Was seated by my side.

The horse was lean and lank,

Misfortune seemed his lot.

We got into a drifted bank

And then we got upsot.

CHORUS:

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way!




Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way!

Oh, what fun it is to ride In

a one horse open sleigh!

REPEAT CHORUS

THE HOLLY AND THE IVY The holly and the ivy,

When they are both full grown,

Of all the trees that are in the wood,

The holly bears the crown.

O the rising of the sun

And the running of the deer,

The playing of the merry organ,

Sweet singing in the choir.

JOLLY OLD SAINT NICHOLASJolly Old Saint Nicholas,

Lean your ear this way;

Don’t you tell a single soul,

What I’m going to say

Christmas Eve is coming soon;

Now you dear old man,

Whisper what you’ll bring to me;

Tell me if you can.

When the clock is striking twelve;

When I’m fast asleep,

Down the chimney broad and black,

With your pack you’ll creep;

All the stockings you will find

Hanging in a row;

Mine will be the shortest one,

You’ll be sure to know.

Johnny wants a pair of skates,

Susie wants a sled

Nelly wants a storybook –

one she hasn’t read

as for me i hardly know

so I’ll go to rest

Choose for me, dear Santa Claus,

What you think is best.

FROSTY THE SNOWMANFrosty the Snowman

Was a jolly, happy soul,

With a corncob pipe and a button nose

And two eyes made out of coal.

Frosty the Snowman

Is a fairytale they say.

He was made of snow,

But the children know

How he came to life one day.

3 7

There must have been some magic

In that old silk hat they found,

For when they placed it on his head,

He began to dance around. Oh,

Frosty the Snowman

Had to hurry on his way,

But he waved goodbye

Saying don’t you cry,

I’ll be back again some day.

Thumpety thump thump,


Look at Frosty go.



Over the hills of snow.

UP ON THE HOUSETOP Up on the housetop reindeer pause,

Out jumps good old Santa Claus.

Down through the chimney with lots of toys.

All for the little ones, Christmas joys.

Ho, ho ho!

Who wouldn’t go?

Ho, ho ho!

Who wouldn’t go?

Up on the housetop, click, click, click,

Down through the chimney with old

Saint Nick.

RUDOLPH, THE RED-NOSED REINDEER Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer

had a very shiny nose.

And if you ever saw him,

you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer

used to laugh and call him names,

They never let poor Rudolph

join in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas Eve

Santa came to say:

“Rudolph with your nose so bright,

won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”

Then all the reindeer loved him

as they shouted out with glee,

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,

you’ll go down in history!

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 heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the Earth! the Saviour reigns;

Let men their songs employ;

A FEW RULES

4 1

CONCERT ETIQUETT E

BE COMFORTABLEThere’s no dress code. From jeans to

suits, you’ll see it all! Wear what you’d

like — you’ll fit in. We love you just the

way you are.

COUGHINGAhem… Try to ‘bury’ your cough in a loud

passage of music. If you can’t, or you

begin to cough a lot, don’t worry — it’s

perfectly acceptable and appropriate to

quietly exit the concert hall. Remember to

unwrap cough drops before the concert so

you don’t create crackling noises.

CRY ROOMChild feelin’ fidgety? We have a designat-

ed cry room at the back of the hall on the

right side of the lower level (as you enter

the hall). The room is marked with a sign.

APPLAUSE 101Many concertgoers are confused about

when to clap during an orchestra’s perfor-

mance. Before the mid-19th century, au-

diences would routinely applaud between

movements to show their joy for the mu-

sic they just heard. Around the mid-19th

century, it became tradition in Germany

for audiences to wait until the end of the

piece to clap, sitting silently between

movements. That tradition spread and is

now commonly accepted and taught.

At the DPO, we welcome both traditions.

If you prefer to wait for the end of a piece,

that is fine. If you want to respectfully

show your appreciation between move-

ments, we welcome that too. Regardless,

we want you to feel comfortable and

focus on the performance, not confusing

applause rules!

If you are attending your first classical music concert, below are some frequently asked questions to help make your experience more enjoyable.


CONCERT ETIQUETT E

ELECTRONICSPlease turn the sound off on your cell

phones, pagers, and any other noise-

making device, including vibrate mode.

PACK IT IN, PACK IT OUTYou’re welcome to bring a water bottle

into the hall, but remember “Trail Rules”

— pack it in, pack it out.

SOCIAL MEDIAFeel free to tweet, post to Facebook or

take photos without flash. Upload your

pics and comments online — and be sure

to tag us! We’re on Facebook, Twitter and

ORCHESTRA SPOTLIG HT

NAFTARI BURNSCELLOFIFTH DPO SEASON. Naftari started play-

ing piano at age 6, and picked up the cello

at age 9. When she first started playing

the cello, she had no idea what it was and

had to ask the kid next to her. Though her

first choice was the violin, Naftari brought

home a cello and her mother asked, “Why

couldn’t you get a smaller instrument?” She

has played with the Metro State Symphony

and with the Jefferson Symphony under

William Morse. She works at Kolacny Music

where she sells and services band and

orchestra instruments and harps. Naftari

attended Metropolitan State College of

Denver for a degree in music performance.

MIKI HEINESECOND VIOLINTHIRD DPO SEASON. Miki was lucky

enough to play in the Front Range

Youth Symphony and Colorado Youth

Symphony Orchestras in high school and

now has been playing violin for 15 years.

Since high school, Miki attended St. Olaf

College and the University of Northern

Colorado; at St. Olaf, she played with the

St. Olaf College Orchestra which toured

the U.S. and Spain. Outside of the DPO,

Miki is earning her Music Education

degree at Metro State to become a high

school orchestra director. She works as a

server at Cinzzetti’s Italian Style Market

Place and enjoys running, hiking, camp-

ing, reading, crocheting, hanging out

with her cat Cici, and going to concerts

— electronic music, bluegrass, and jam

bands are a few favorites. Though violin

is the only instrument she plays, she can

play a mean “Wagon Wheel” on guitar!

Who are the hard-working men and women behind those music stands? Get to know your orchestra! Each concert, we spotlight a few of our talented musicians here in the program. Tonight, meet Naftari, Miki, Kelli and Tyler —


ORCHESTRA SPOTLIG HT

KELLI HIRSCHFRENCH HORNSEVENTH DPO SEASON. Kelli received

her Bachelor of Music from Hastings

College in Nebraska. She’s been playing

the French horn for more than 20 years, is

a member of the Gossamer Wind Quintet

and plays the piano. Kelli is a fundraiser

for the Dumb Friends League. Outside of

work and the DPO, Kelli spends as much

time as possible with her two beautiful

young daughters and husband. They listen

to a lot of music together, read books and

take lots of walks to the park.

TYLER VAN DAMTRUMPETSECOND DPO SEASON. Tyler has been

playing trumpet for 17 years. She has

had the great fortune of performing with

the Blue Knights Drum and Bugle Corps

from Denver, the Santa Clara Vanguard

Drum and Bugle Corps from Santa

Clara, California, with the Musica Sacra

Chamber Orchestra, Littleton Symphony

Orchestra, Jefferson County Symphony

Orchestra, and the Colorado Wind

Ensemble.

Aside from being a full-time student, Tyler

works at Starbucks and assists area high

school marching bands in the summer

and fall. She enjoys spending as much

time as she can in the mountains — be it

driving, hiking, or photographing. She is

also active in the community supporting

transgender rights and equality. After

studying trumpet for three years at

University of Colorado, she studied at

Metropolitan State University and will

graduate with a Music Performance de-

gree and a minor in architecture.
