TRANSCRIPT
Dear Friends,
Thank you for making the first month of the 2019-20 Knoxville Symphony season such a smashing success! We kicked things off in style, and all of us on stage fed off of the incredible energy from every one of you.
Our season now is in full swing, and we want to keep that great momentum going! Our News Sentinel Pops Series opens with a dazzling set of classic hits performed by the Neil Diamond tribute band Super Diamond. Neil Diamond’s songs still stand in the spotlight of pop culture, and their continued vitality renders them anything but ’oldies’! Whether your favorite is ’Cherry Cherry,’ ’Solitary Man,’ or my personal favorite, ’Sweet Caroline’ (anybody who knows my wife’s name will know why!), Super Diamond promises to tug at the nostalgic, happy memories of your life.
Nostalgia also carries into our second Moxley Carmichael Masterworks program of the season, featuring Grieg’s unforgettable Piano Concerto in A minor, inspired in part by the Norwegian folk tunes of his youth. I am delighted to welcome an electrifying pianist, my friend Natasha Paremski, to Knoxville to make her KSO debut. Each of the pieces on this program represents milestones of ’arrival’ for their composers, when they moved from being promising young talents to indisputable stars of the symphonic community. If you are a Masterworks or Chamber Classics regular, the name Jessie Montgomery is likely starting to become familiar, as we have performed the music of this distinctive living composer in each of the last three seasons. Her most significant work to date, Records from a Vanishing City is inspired by Montgomery’s memories of the music that surrounded her growing up on Manhattan’s Lower East Side in the 80s and 90s. Opening the program is Dvořák’s stirring Seventh Symphony, with its memorably Slavonic third movement. The most nationalistic of his mature symphonies, Dvořák’s Seventh is meant to evoke the political struggles of his countrymen as they tried to establish a Czech nation.
Beyond these series, this month the KSO also performs Young People’s Concerts for thousands of elementary school students and continues our dedicated activities in classrooms, libraries and hospitals throughout East Tennessee. By buying tickets, subscribing and donating, you are supporting this essential work and more in our community. Thank you, and enjoy tonight’s concert!
Sincerely,
Aram Demirjian

The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra is flourishing under the transformative leadership of music director Aram Demirjian. Through bold programming, innovative collaborations and Aram’s dynamic presence both on stage and in the community, the KSO has attained new artistic heights, sustained significant ticket revenue increases and received national recognition for its achievements over the 3 years of his tenure.
The 2019-20 KSO season extends and intensifies Aram’s commitment to fostering community through collaboration in the concert hall. Local partnerships include performances with the Knoxville Choral Society, contemporary ensemble Nief-Norf, Street Beatz Studios and Go! Contemporary Dance Works, plus sought-after guest artists including Natasha Paremski, Bella Hristova and Grammy©-nominated violinist Philippe Quint. Quint will perform the world premiere of Michael Schachter’s Violin Concerto: Cycle of Life, a joint commission of the KSO and the Knoxville Museum of Art. Aram and the KSO continue to champion American music with works by Barber, Bernstein, James P. Johnson, Florence Price and George Walker, plus living composers Avner Dorman, Jennifer Higdon, Missy Mazzoli, Jessie Montgomery and Dosia McKay. Further highlights include Handel’s Messiah, Mahler’s First Symphony, Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony and a yearlong celebration of Beethoven’s 250th anniversary. Most notably, the KSO will perform in Washington, D.C.’s Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as one of only four organizations featured at SHIFT: A Festival of American Orchestras. Aram will conduct a program highlighting Knoxville’s artistic history called “Knoxville: Artists at Home,” featuring soprano Julia Bullock, poets RB Morris and RheaSunshine and a brass ensemble from University of Tennessee.

Super Diamond San Francisco’s Super Diamond has become one of the most popular live shows at major nightclubs, theaters, ballrooms and public events throughout the United States. For over a decade the band has consistently performed sell-out shows at venues such as Irving Plaza in New York, 930 Club in Washington D.C., Bimbo’s in San Francisco, and House of Blues venues in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, Cleveland and Dallas to name but a few.
At these venues Super Diamond has generated an exuberant audience response previously unheard of for a tribute band. Many would say that Super Diamond has transcended the label of “tribute band” by passionately immersing themselves in Neil Diamond’s huge repertoire and delivering a high-octane show of unforgettable classics such as Cracklin’ Rosie, Sweet Caroline, Forever in Blue Jeans and many others.
Super Diamond has also performed at landmark venues and events such as Hollywood Bowl, Taste of Chicago, Fenway Park in Boston, Coors Field in Denver and numerous fairs, festivals and corporate celebrations across the country and overseas.
Super Diamond front man The Surreal Neil, Randy Cordeiro, astonishes audiences with his live interpretation of the “real Neil.” Randy created the charismatic character when he
discovered he had the uncanny ability to capture not only Neil Diamond’s voice, but also his mannerisms and performance style. Randy formed Super Diamond with founding members Matt Tidmarsh (bass guitar), Rama Kolesnikow (keyboards), and his childhood friend James Terris (keyboards) and soon after attracted the stellar talents of Chris Collins (guitar) and Vince Littleton (drums). With a dedication to performing a dazzling, rockin’ show and a reputation as one of the best live bands in the country, Super Diamond continuously draws full-capacity crowds and has a loyal, dedicated and ever-expanding fan base that bridges generations.
Super Diamond has caught the attention of major media publications such as Rolling Stone Magazine, Spin Magazine, New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Washington Post and LA Times. The band has been featured on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, Comedy Central and interviewed for VH1’s Behind the Music-Neil Diamond Episode. In November 2008 Super Diamond was seen by millions when they were the musical guests on The Late Show with David Letterman.
Super Diamond’s dream came true when Neil Diamond joined them on stage for a surprise appearance at the House of Blues in Hollywood. A moment of endorsement that swelled the band members’ hearts and stunned the audience that night. Neil Diamond also praised the band when questioned about the success of Super Diamond by Katie Couric and Larry King on national television. Super Diamond was fortunate to be joined on stage by Neil Diamond a second time, at the premiere party for the movie Saving Silverman and has been delighted over the years to bring on stage current and former members of Neil Diamond’s touring band.
Super Diamond delivers a glittering, smoke-filled show performing Neil’s power ballads and up-tempo hits with unrestrained enthusiasm. The show is pure entertainment—classic music combined with fun, energy and passion—creating nostalgia for the good old days and excitement for today’s generation.

Notes on the Program by Ken Meltzer
Symphony No. 7 in D minor, Opus 70 (1885)
AntonínDvořákwasborninMühlhausen,Bohemia (now Nelahozeves, the Czech Republic), on September 8, 1841, and died in Prague on May 1, 1904. The first performance of the SymphonyNo. 7 took place at St. James’s Hall in London, England, on April 22, 1885, with the composer conducting the London Philharmonic Society. The Symphony No.7isscoredforpiccolo,twoflutes,twooboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani, and strings.
Approximate performance time is thirty-fiveminutes.
Antonín Dvořák’s Ninth Symphony, Opus 95 (1893) (“From the New World”) is his most well-known and performed. But many commentators favor the Seventh as the Czech composer’s greatest achievement in this genre. It is true that Dvořák composed this Symphony with singular ambition and enthusiasm.
In June of 1884, The London Philharmonic Society nominated Dvořák as an Honorary Member and requested that he compose a new symphony. Dvořák hoped that his new creation would receive international acclaim in the manner of the works of his friend and idol, the German composer, Johannes Brahms. In a December, 1884 letter to his friend, Antonín Rus, Dvořák wrote: “Now I am occupied with my new symphony (for London), and wherever I go I have nothing else in mind but my work, which must be such as to make a stir in the world and God grant that it may!”
Dvořák began work on his Seventh Symphony in December of 1884. He completed the score the following March. The Symphony premiered in St. James’s Hall in London on April 22,
1885, with Dvořák conducting the London Philharmonic Society. The premiere was a great success. Nevertheless, Dvořák decided to cut 40 bars from the second-movement Andante. The composer informed his publisher, Simrock: “Now I am convinced that there is not a single superfluous note in the work.”
A performance on January 16, 1887, by Hans Richter and the Vienna Philharmonic helped to solidify the reputation of the Seventh as a major symphonic work. However, Berlin concerts directed by Hans von Bülow on October 27 and 28, 1889, made the greatest impression. After those triumphant performances, Dvořák affixed a portrait of Bülow to the title page of the score, and added the following inscription: “Glory be to you! You brought this work to life!”
It is clear why the Seventh has inspired such respect and affection among those who love Dvořák’s music. While all Nine of Dvořák’s Symphonies offer considerable pleasure, it is perhaps the Seventh that marks the summit of his achievements in this realm. In the Seventh, Dvořák, like Brahms, demonstrates that the Classical-era musical structures advanced by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven do not inhibit Romantic expression. Quite the contrary, Dvořák’s presentation and ingenious development of a remarkable wealth of ideas produce a work of overwhelming momentum and impact.
The Symphony No. 7 is in four movements. The first (Allegro maestoso) is based upon two themes. The violas and cellos softly introduce the insinuating first principal theme that grows in volume and intensity. The woodwinds sing a lyrical, major-key waltz-like theme, marked dolce (“sweetly”), that in time also gains tremendous power. In a dramatic masterstroke, Dvořák concludes with a quiet, fragmented restatement of the opening theme. The slow-tempo second movement (Poco adagio) recalls its counterpart in the Brahms Third Symphony (1883), a work Dvořák greatly admired. The
knoxvillesymphony.com 21
NOTES ON THE PROGRAM
third movement is a Scherzo (Vivace). The literal translation of the Italian word scherzo is “joke,” but there is little humor in this fiery movement, set in the home key of D minor. The stormy Finale (Allegro) gives every indication of maintaining a tragic mood to the work’s conclusion. Suddenly, and most unexpectedly, the orchestra erupts in a D-Major outburst, bringing the Symphony to a triumphant (but perhaps somewhat unsettling) resolution.
Records from a Vanishing City (2016)
Jessie Montgomery was born in New York City on December 8, 1981. The first performance of Records from a Vanishing City took place at Carnegie Hall in New York City on October 27, 2016, with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. Records from a Vanishing Cityisscoredforflute,oboe,twoB-flatclarinets, bass clarinet, two bassoons, two horns, three trumpets, timpani, and strings.
Approximate performance time is thirteen minutes.
Records from a Vanishing City is a tone poem based on my recollections of the music that surrounded me as I grew up on Manhattan’s Lower East Side in the 1980s and 1990s. Artists, truth seekers, and cultures of all kinds defined our vibrant community. The embracing diversity burst out with an effortless everydayness in block parties, festivals, and shindigs of every sort. Partly because my parents were artists—but also because I just couldn’t help it—I soaked up all that surrounded me: Latin jazz, alternative rock, Western classical, avant-garde jazz, poetry, and Caribbean dance music, to name a few. A year before completing this work, a very dear family friend passed away and
it was decided that I would be the one to inherit a large portion of his eclectic record collection. James Rose was one of the many suns in the Lower East Side cosmos who often hosted parties and generous gatherings for our extended artist family. His record collection was a treasure trove of the great jazz recordings of the 1950s, 1960s and beyond—he was mad for John Coltrane, but also Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk and Ornette Coleman, as well as traditional folk artists from Africa, Asia and South America. In the process of imagining this piece, a particular track on a record of music from Angola caught my ear: a traditional lullaby which is sung in call and response by a women’s chorus. This lullaby rang with an uncanny familiarity in me. An adaptation of this lullaby and the rhythmic chant that follows it appears in each of the three main sections of Records. This piece is dedicated to the memory of James Rose. Records from a Vanishing City was commissioned by the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. Orpheus’s world premiere performance of the work at Carnegie Hall was supported in part by a Project Grant from New Music USA.

Piano Concerto in A minor, Opus 16 (1868)
Edvard Grieg was born in Bergen, Norway, on June 15, 1843, and died there on September 4, 1907. The firstperformance of the Piano Concerto in A minor took place in Copenhagen, Denmark, on April 3, 1869. In addition to the solo piano, the Concerto is scored fortwoflutes, twooboes, twoclarinets,two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani, and strings.

NOTES ON THE PROGRAM
Approximate performance time is thirty minutes.
Edvard Grieg’s beloved Piano Concerto was the product of a particularly happy period in the Norwegian composer’s life. In 1867, Grieg and his wife, Nina, were married. The following April, their daughter, Alexandra, was born. That summer, Edvard, Nina, and Alexandra Grieg traveled to Søllerød, located near Copenhagen. The Grieg family vacationed in a rented cottage. There, Edvard Grieg composed the A-minor Piano Concerto.
The premiere of the Concerto, which took place in Copenhagen on April 3, 1869, was generally well received by the Norwegian press. One critic viewed the work, which incorporated Norwegian folk idioms, as presenting “all Norway in its infinite variety and unity,” and compared the second movement to “a lonely mountain-girt tarn that lies dreaming of infinity.”
In early 1870 in Rome, Grieg met the great Hungarian pianist and composer, Franz Liszt. During one visit, Grieg presented the score of the A-minor Concerto to Liszt, who played
through the work, often shouting his approval. As Grieg related: “Finally, (Liszt) said in a strange, emotional way: ‘Keep on, I tell you. You have what is needed, and don’t let them frighten you.’” Liszt did suggest some changes to the score, finally published in 1872. Grieg was never totally satisfied with the Concerto, and continued to pen revisions until the time of his death. Despite the composer’s misgivings, the Grieg A-minor remains one of the most popular of piano concertos.
The Concerto is in three movements. The first (Allegro moderato) features one of concert music’s most famous and dramatic openings. The second movement (Adagio) opens with an extended introduction spotlighting the muted strings. This precedes the entrance of the soloist, whose presence dominates the remainder of this brief and affecting slow-tempo movement. The finale (Allegro moderato molto e marcato) begins with a short introduction that anticipates the soloist’s presentation of the main theme—a jaunty rhythmic passage based upon a Norwegian folk dance known as the halling. The flute initiates a lovely contrasting interlude, but the spirited halling motif soon returns. The closing pages present the orchestra’s majestic transformation of the interlude, accompanied by the soloist’s grand flourishes.

The Gift of Music
The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra is truly thankful for your support, which makes a major impact on our service to the East Tennessee region. Along with creating excellent music and performing in the traditional venues, 80% of the KSO’s time is spent not within the concert halls, but out in the community. Our Orchestra performs in school classrooms, libraries, hospitals, city parks, and churches, and reaches more than 200,000 children and adults each year. Since many of these concerts and programs are offered at low or no cost, your financial contribution is essential to support all that we do. The KSO is proud to be the oldest continuously performing orchestra in the Southeast, and a vital component of the cultural tapestry that makes Knoxville such a special and distinctive place in which to live, work, and play.
