WELCOMEWelcome back to Boettcher Concert Hall, home of the Colorado Symphony! As we launch the 2014/15 season, we’re thrilled by all that awaits in the months ahead, including masterful performances from the most beloved names in symphonic music. Many of these superstars have shared stages and years of friendship with Andrew Litton, who returns for his second full season as Music Director. We’re also excited about new programming initiatives, including the eclectic Colorado Symphony Presents contemporary series launching in October. (Learn more about that on page 23.) Also in October, the Colorado Symphony Chorus celebrates thirty years of excellence; see page 18 for an interview with founder and director Duain Wolfe, recently lauded as one of the country’s great choral directors by our partners at Colorado Public Radio. As we move excitedly into fall, we reflect on the inspirational successes of the 2013/14 season.
◆ Our musicians reached new levels of artistic achievement, performing a range of musical styles at Boettcher as well as venues across the Front Range, including Red Rocks, where we delighted more than 50,000 music lovers this summer.
◆ We enjoyed creative and strategic partnerships with the leading cultural organizations and businesses in Colorado, including the Denver Art Museum, the Colorado Rockies, DaVita, Inc., and Arrow Electronics.
◆ In May, we enjoyed the most successful Colorado Symphony Ball in the event’s twenty-one year history, generating $1.1 million in support for the only full-time professional orchestra in the Rocky Mountain West.
Joining us for a performance is the simplest, most important thing our community can do to support the orchestra, and we thank you for being here. When you leave tonight, be sure to tell your friends: It’s more than just a concert, it’s an experience. Our goal is to make sure this experience is shared by as many people as possible this season and beyond. Enjoy the music!

SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT
ARROW ELECTRONICS
When Arrow Electronics consolidated its headquarters in metro Denver in late 2011, we quickly established a partnership with the Colorado Symphony. We did this out of a fundamental conviction that the creative process in the arts and innovation in Arrow’s world of electronics are intrinsically connected.
We strive to guide the symphony forward as it enriches our community. And through our support we hope to set an example to our 16,500 employees in Colorado and around the world to not only enjoy the arts, but to apply the same spirit of innovation and creativity to their own work and lives.
We are proud to sponsor Colorado Symphony performances as the orchestra extends its reach deeper into Denver and across Colorado. But Arrow’s investment goes beyond a typical corporate sponsorship. We commissioned a new musical composition that would reflect the company’s commitment to innovation. What emerged was an original piece representing the Arrow brand, “Five Years Out.”
In this piece, Colorado Symphony Resident Conductor Scott O’Neil utilizes themes of technology and a five-note scale to generate the new refrain for Arrow’s “Five Years Out” brand. If you listen closely, you will hear A-R-R-O-W spelled in musical notes, while the rhythm spells “arrow” in Morse code. The composition debuted in 2013 and we now use it as our musical logo in advertisements and on our website. This year, maestro O’Neil expanded the original overture into a fuller orchestral composition.
Together, we have created a new partnership committed to innovation. We hope this partnership sustains not only Arrow and the CSO, but also the community we share.
Thank you for joining us in supporting the Colorado Symphony.

It was a big summer for the Colorado Symphony Chorus. In August, the choir was the only Colorado-based ensemble to take the stage at the prestigious Aspen Music Festival. The reason for this high honor? It has a lot to do with the talent and dedication of 180 volunteer singers. It also has a lot to do with Director Duain Wolfe.
30CrescendoThe Colorado Symphony Chorus Celebrates Thirty Years
PHOTO: JIM MIMNA
D“ uain Wolfe is one of the best choral conductors in the world,” said Alan Fletcher, Aspen Music Festival CEO and president, in an interview with Colorado Public Radio.
Wolfe has loomed large for generations of Colorado vocalists, nurturing and lifting voices of every age. In 1974, he founded the Colorado Children’s Chorale and, ten years later, the Colorado Symphony Chorus. Wolfe is also well known for his work with the Chicago Symphony Chorus.
This season, Wolfe and the Colorado Symphony Chorus celebrate thirty years with a slate of special programs that will fill Boettcher Concert Hall with bombastic, joyful noise. When the season opens September 18 and 19, Wolfe joins Music Director Andrew Litton on stage to lead Beethoven Symphony No. 9, alongside soloists Kelley O’Connor, John Mac Master, and others.
During the Colorado Symphony Chorus 30th Anniversary Gala on October 18, the ensemble will thrill audiences with the glorious music of Vaughan Williams, Mendelssohn, Moussorgsky, and Mozart as well as excerpts from the Chorus’ signature pieces, including Verdi’s Requiem and Orff’s Carmina Burana. Of course, the Chorus will return for the holiday classic, A Colorado Christmas, as well as a dramatic rendition of Puccini’s Tosca in February 2015.
With so much to sing about this season, our partners at Colorado Public Radio invited Wolfe on the air to discuss highlights of the Chorus’ history with Chloe Veltman, CPR arts editor. Here’s an excerpt from their conversation.
You founded the Colorado Symphony Chorus in 1984. Was it typical at that time for orchestras around the country to be founding choruses and why was it important for the Colorado Symphony?Duain Wolfe: There were very few at the time, and there are still very few that actually belong to the orchestra. Most of the time, choruses are founded by somebody that is simply interested and then orchestras engage
those choruses. Maestro Gaetano Delogu wanted his own chorus so that it would be part of the musical culture of the symphony, and therefor would be part of the same vision and on the same page musically.
You’re the longtime head of two other important choruses: the Grammy®-award winning Chicago Symphony Chorus and the Colorado Children’s Chorale. You’ve arguably done your most visible work with these choruses. Why doesn’t the Colorado Symphony get the accolades that the other ensembles you work with get?Duain Wolfe: I assume some of it has to do with provincialism. We think of great organizations coming out of really big cities. So there’s an assumption always of what could come out of Colorado. Well the fact is, surprising things come up. We have a lot to be proud of, we just need to find ways to get the rest of the world to find out. We need to do more recordings, and with Music Director Andrew Litton it looks like we’re going to be doing that.

What are you most looking forward to in your new role with the Colorado Symphony? Collaborating with your wonderful musicians, staff, Board of Trustees and music director — all towards the goal of making this outstanding orchestra an essential part of the community.
You will work closely with Music Director Andrew Litton, an old friend and long-time colleague. Andrew and I have known each other since we were college classmates and I’ve had the great good fortune to collaborate with him the past twelve years for the Minnesota Orchestra’s Sommerfest. Andrew and I share similar tastes and sensibilities, but we’re still able to challenge and prod each other in a positive way that makes us both think harder and be more creative. And for my money, Andrew is one of the very finest American conductors on the scene today. I am extremely proud to work with him.
What do you find to be special about the Colorado Symphony? I find the incredibly collaborative spirit of the musicians to be very refreshing and exciting. Working together is the only way to succeed! Of course, Music Director Andrew Litton is an integral part of that spirit, as are the staff and board.
What are the opportunities inherent in working in Boettcher Concert Hall, an in-the-round venue? Of course, it’s the intimacy of the space that
is so appealing. I also find it very appealing that so many of the Denver arts organizations are all in that beautiful arts center. I think that synergy is exciting!
Your experience is so rich and varied. What is your first love -- musical theater, opera, plays? I like to say that whatever I’m working on at the time is my favorite. Actually, symphonic music was my first love and my original entry point into the arts. And we always remember our first love, right?
What excites you about coming to Denver?The natural beauty, of course; the fact that it’s warmer than Minneapolis(!). I just really enjoy the atmosphere of the city and I always have. I’ve been a frequent visitor to Denver since I was a kid as I had a favorite aunt and uncle that lived in the area.
Do you have much time for the clarinet these days? Not a moment. I haven’t touched it in years and if I did so now I know I would be very depressed. It’s best left silent.
Like Minneapolis, Denver is a thriving arts town. But people here also love sports. Are you prepared to become a Broncos fan? Bad news: I’m not a big sports guy. Good news: That means I don’t have to wean myself away from the Vikings. I will do my best to embrace everything that Denver has to offer!

How has your role within the orchestra changed since you became Principal Clarinet?In every ensemble I’ve ever played with, I’ve found that as the years go on, I’m able to better understand the organization and therefore contribute in more meaningful ways to its success. I’m excited to be a part of some of the new ways we are going to help audiences make a personal connection to “classical” music and feel more involved with our concerts.
What’s one thing about the Colorado Symphony that might surprise people?The Colorado Symphony has the most positive, open-minded, and supportive musicians and staff of any group I’ve played with. From my very first day here, I was amazed at the love that the musicians and the staff have for their orchestra; their willingness to work “above and beyond” to support the organization is incredible.
How about a surprise about you?I have a black belt in a martial art form known as Tai-Jitsu! I’ve always been a relatively peaceful person, but learning martial arts when I was younger really helped me build my confidence.
What do you do for fun in Denver?I enjoy hiking on the beautiful trails around Denver and Boulder. I still haven’t tried any
of the winter activities (like skiing) for fear of breaking a hand or finger. I’m a rather clumsy person, despite the dexterity required for playing an instrument, but perhaps I will try them out someday soon! Besides that, I’m trying to learn how to cook a bit better. I’m pretty good at risotto so far!
What advice would you give to a young person just starting out in a career in music?I tell all of my students that they should strive to have both perseverance and open-mindedness. The combination of the two is so important; perseverance helps you get through the inevitable disappointments, and open-mindedness helps you learn new methods of practicing and also think clearly when you have to make tough decisions. Working to have both of these qualities will help you manage the hardest parts of a musical career, and make the decisions that are right for you. There are many different ways in which music can be a part of your life and career, and by working hard with an open mind, you will eventually find the right way for your love of music to fit into your life.

MASTERWORKS BIOGRAPHIESGIL SHAHAM, violin
Gil Shaham is one of the foremost violinists of our time: his flawless technique combined with his inimitable warmth and generosity of spirit has solidified his renown as an American master. Highlights of his 2014-15 season include a Parisian-themed opening-night gala with the Seattle Symphony this fall, launching a new season that sees him rejoin the San Francisco Symphony under Michael Tilson Thomas for Mozart’s “Turkish” concerto, and, on the orchestra’s 20th-anniversary tour, for Prokofiev’s Second at venues including
Carnegie Hall. The Prokofiev is one of the works showcased in his long-term exploration of “Violin Concertos of the 1930s.” Besides giving the world premiere performances of a new concerto by David Bruce with the San Diego Symphony, the violinist’s upcoming orchestral highlights also include performances in Philadelphia, Berlin, London, Dallas, Tokyo, Canada and Luxembourg. In recital, he presents Bach’s complete solo sonatas and partitas at Chicago’s Symphony Center, L.A.’s Disney Hall, and other venues in a special multimedia collaboration with photographer and video artist David Michalek. Shaham already has more than two dozen concerto and solo CDs to his name, including bestsellers that have ascended the record charts in the U.S. and abroad. These recordings have earned multiple Grammys®, a Grand Prix du Disque, Diapason d’Or, and Gramophone Editor’s Choice. His recent recordings are issued on the Canary Classics label, which Shaham founded in 2004. Recent releases include 1930’s Violin Concertos Vol. 1, Nigunim: Hebrew Melodies, Haydn Violin Concertos and Mendelssohn’s Octet with the Sejong Soloists; Sarasate: Virtuoso Violin Works, and the Elgar’s Violin Concerto with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and David Zinman, among others. Upcoming titles include Bach’s complete works for solo violin. Shaham was awarded an Avery Fisher Career Grant in 1990, and in 2008 he received the coveted Avery Fisher Prize. In 2012, he was named “Instrumentalist of the Year” by Musical America, which cited the “special kind of humanism” with which his performances are imbued. He plays the 1699 “Countess Polignac” Stradivarius, and lives in New York City with his wife, violinist Adele Anthony, and their three children.

MASTERWORKS PROGRAM NOTES
Cindy McTee: TimepieceThe piece is scored for two flutes and piccolo, two oboes and English horn, two clarinets and E-flat clarinet, two bassoons and contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, piano, and strings. Duration is eight minutes. Last performed by the orchestra on September 29, 30, and October 2, 2005 with Jeffrey Kahane conducting.
The most authentic art is the true reflection of its times, and the compositional art of Cindy McTee is just that. In a time when almost everything ever created in the visual and performing arts is ridiculously easy to access through personal electronic technology, we live in an eclectic age. McTee’s music, while deeply original and creative, is nonetheless often the equivalent of a new language made of familiar words. She brilliantly pulls together a vivacious and evocative mélange of familiar musical elements into a coherent, altogether new whole—and challenges, teases, and entertains all the while!
Her compositions are performed everywhere, and she has won almost every significant honor in the field of musical composition. Recently retired after almost three decades as professor of music composition at the highly respected School of Music of the University of North Texas, her compositions for orchestra, band and wind ensemble, and chamber music have had a significant impact upon contemporary American musical life. Early on, she was heavily influenced by jazz, her personal association with the great Polish composer, Krzysztof Penderecki, and the music of Ravel and Stravinsky. And, if anything, her compositions often reflect her innate penchant for driving, rhythmic, and jazz-influenced (but not necessarily “jazzy”) verve. Add to that a wry sense of humor, and a predilection for a bit of surprise, and it only scratches the surface of her facile genius.
Timepiece is a pretty good representation of what informs much of her style and its popularity with audiences. Commissioned by Maestro Litton and the Dallas Symphony in 2000 upon the occasion of its 100th anniversary, it garnered an appreciative reception when it was subsequently performed by the Colorado Symphony. A study in stasis versus rhythmic drive, it is a new treatment of a traditional musical idea—earlier exploration of some variants of the idea may be found in George Antheil’s Ballet Mécanique (1925), Honegger’s Pacific 231 (1923), and the music of other composers influenced by Italian futurism of the early twentieth century. McTee’s Timepiece begins with floating static sonorities in the strings that firmly establish quite the absence of motion—a serenity intermittently and urgently interrupted by the wind and percussion. The wood block tries to get things going, but fails at first. Eventually, starting in the low strings, a steady beat emerges which determinedly carries us to the conclusion, all the while a cloud of short, repeated motifs roll along. From time to time soloists jump in with divergent ideas, but they’re only commentaries over the general momentum. Approaching the end, the insistent wood block clicks out the time and leads the steady, insistent triumph of time moving over time frozen. Salted throughout the orchestra, McTee’s rotating musical “gears” mechanistically drive to the end.

MASTERWORKS PROGRAM NOTES
Brahms: Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 77The concerto is scored for solo violin, woodwinds in pairs, four horns, two trumpets, timpani, and strings. Duration is approximately 35 minutes. Last performance by the orchestra was on March 8, 9, and 10, 2013, with Augustin Hadelich as the soloist and Jun Märkl conducting.
Brahms was a fine pianist, and made his way in the world early on as a performer on that
instrument. In 1848, the year of revolution in Europe, many Hungarians made their way to Hamburg for purposes of emigration to America, and Brahms—always engaged with various levels of society—fell under the sway of the Hungarian and gypsy musical style. About that time, he encountered the Hungarian violinist, Ede Reményi, and the characteristic rhythmic and metric traits of the latter’s national style that later became so integral to his own voice. Reményi returned from America some five years later and the two went on a concert tour together. It was during this tour, in Göttingen, that Brahms also met the great violin virtuoso, Joseph Joachim, and began a deep friendship and professional relationship that lasted a lifetime. They went on to concertize together for years. Brahms had already heard Joachim in 1848 in a performance of Beethoven’s violin concerto, and the work made a deep and lasting impression on the young Brahms.
So, taken altogether, this inevitably led to Brahms’ violin concerto of 1878, written for, and dedicated to, Joachim, his best friend and one of the most respected violinists in the world. Certainly, one of the attributes of Joachim that Brahms deeply respected was not only his virtuosity, but also his intelligence, seriousness of purpose, and trustworthy critical acumen. Not only did Joachim provide the first-movement cadenza that has stood the test of time, he was a constant counsel on technical matters in the composition of the solo part. In point of fact, they continued to exchange correspondence well after the première regarding changes to fine points in the work.
Although cast in the familiar three movements of the typical concerto form, Brahms had originally conceived the work in four movements—a hint of his conception of the piece as a major and weighty contribution to the solo violin literature (and there was Beethoven’s monumental concerto looming over his shoulder, we must remember.) That fell through, and Brahms abandoned work on the two middle movements, but their elements may well have surfaced in other of his works. Instead, he substituted a single adagio that he rather deprecated, but a happy substitution it was. There are many parallels between Brahms’ work and the model of Beethoven’s before him, but they need not detain us here.
The first movement is the “meat” of the composition—it goes on for well over twenty minutes--and, let’s be frank, it is a case in point of what is often characterized as Brahms’ “severity” of style. It is said that the first movement “puzzled” the first audience, and it can be challenging for many, even today. It begins in a deceptively low- keyed mood, but implies that these ideas will take a while to work out. The orchestra is given a substantial shot at the material before the entrance of the soloist, and there unfolds an exploration of Brahms’ ideas in a thorough and lengthy process. “Big tunes” don’t really jump out at one, but rather there evolves a dense sifting out of musical possibilities and implications that is Brahms’ intellectuality writ large. The movement is rather complex from a formal standpoint, and after a long development, the famous cadenza appears--and a piece of work it is. Joachim’s contribution is a daunting exploration of Brahms’ ideas, couched in technical challenges that, while virtuosic in nature, never seem empty and

MASTERWORKSMASTERWORKS PROGRAM NOTES
inappropriately flashy. The first audience was motivated to applaud at its conclusion, but I imagine today no one is tempted to interrupt the soft, but tense and hushed atmosphere leading to the serene conclusion of the movement.
The slow movement is a study in variations on a simple, but pregnant theme that is introduced by the solo oboe, accompanied by the horns and woodwinds. The tune is reminiscent—but far more tranquil—of the famous horn call in the finale of his first symphony, composed only a few years earlier. A contrasting theme is heard in the middle of this perfect example of Brahms’ signature “elegiac” style, and it ends quietly.
One will recall the composer’s early encounter with the fire and rhythmic kick of the Hungarian style—it is one of his stylistic markers. The last movement is a delightful romp in this tradition, and even if you don’t easily remember melodic themes from the other movements, the chief one here, played in double stops by the soloist, may jog your memory. The main tune—and it is a “tune”—alternates with other material, tossed back and forth between the soloist and the orchestra in the best tradition of the concerto. The challenging “severity” of the first movement is all forgotten, and it’s easy to see why this marvelous work stands among the best at the top of great violin literature.
oTchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Op. 64The symphony is scored for three flutes (3rd doubling piccolo), oboes, clarinets, and bassoons in pairs, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, and strings. (Maestro Litton has requested that the 3rd chair woodwinds reinforce the scoring for this weekend’s performance.) Duration is about 46 minutes. Last performed on December 3, 4, and 5, 2010 with Peter Oundjian conducting the orchestra.
Tchaikovsky completed six symphonies during his lifetime, the last three of which have long been concert staples. These three, while exhibiting both the tangible and intangible characteristics of the composer that endear him to music lovers everywhere, are each unique expressions of his musicianship and personality. Symphony No. 4 (with good reason associated with “fate”) came out of an especially troubled time in his life with regard to his ill-starred (and short) marriage—among other factors was his attempted suicide. Symphony No. 6 was, of course, his last one (he died of cholera nine days after its première), and its title bore the French equivalent of “pathos.” Its tragic pianississimo ending truly evokes the finality of his great personal anguish. So, where does that leave us with No. 5?
In some ways, we find ourselves in a similar kettle of fish. The sixth symphony was composed and premièred in 1888, when the composer was 48 years old, and it too--based upon the composer’s own testament--more or less is concerned with “fate.” He was already in contemplation of death: many close friends had recently died, he was in poor mental and physical health, and had made out his will. But the preoccupation on fate in the fifth symphony is perhaps not the hammering fate of the fourth symphony, but rather a more acquiescing acceptance of what Tchaikovsky called “providence.” The first movement starts right out with the so-called fate motive, played by both clarinets, ominously down in their lowest register;
SOUNDINGS 2014/15 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG PROGRAM 7
MASTERWORKS PROGRAM NOTES
this motive will be easily heard in all four movements, and is a strongly unifying element in the composition. The movement proper begins with a dark march—with a characteristic Tchaikovskian stuttering syncopation--initiated by solo clarinet and bassoon, accompanied by pizzicato strings. The whole movement centers around this theme, but there are others, most notably a winsome waltz-like theme. Although the movement moves through a variety of intense, dramatic (read loud) utterances, it ends in soft darkness—just as it had begun.
The second movement is perhaps the most well known of the four movements, owing to its use in a swinging arrangement by Glenn Miller, shortly before World War II. The melody is primarily a solo for the principal horn, and a glorious, beautifully spun out affair it is. A related idea for solo violin follows shortly. The middle of the movement generates considerable interest from its vivid harmonic surprises, a new theme in the clarinet, and a general sense of unrest and instability. But then, the so-called fate motto from the first movement interrupts, and we’re back at a return to the lovely first theme, although with changed orchestration and a dramatic buildup of emotion before quietly subsiding.
There are those who opine that no one equaled Tchaikovsky in waltzes—even the Strauss’s—and I concur. The third movement is a series of incredibly elegant waltzes that make you wish that we all still danced them. However, before they start, a soft, but ominous series of chords in the strings lures you into thinking that the dark mood of the ending of the first movement will prevail. But a wonderful modulation brings us to the novel and beguiling key of D major. The waltzes commence. The middle of the movement provides some relief from the waltzes in the form of a short scherzo in duple meter, contrasting nicely with all the ONE-two-three of the waltz. It’s a frenetic affair, not so much unlike the suggestion of little rodents scampering around, when they should be gracefully waltzing. The scampering continues for a while when the waltzes return, signaling the end of the movement—but not before the low clarinets menacingly interrupt for a moment with the motto that opens the whole symphony, and which we will hear in spades imminently in the last movement.
A sure-fire spiritual narrative in art during the romantic period—or any period, for that matter—is the journey from darkness to light, from defeat to victory, and perhaps death to transfiguration. Beethoven, Brahms, and other great composers wrote any number of works with this theme, and it is Tchaikovsky’s and ours in this symphony. The long introduction to the last movement is based upon the motto theme of fate, but now opens in E major, the happy key of redemption. Yet, victory cannot be won so easily, so the main movement returns to E minor to begin the battle, and Tchaikovsky works it out with a dramatic review of familiar materials, as we gradually find our way into the world of light. The victory is hammered out in the motto of fate by stentorian unison brasses, and a tumultuous gallop to the end wraps up the triumph.

SOPHISTICATED DOWNTOWNLIVING
Balfour is something you rarely find. A renowned senior living community in the heart of Denver. Just steps away
from the vibrancy of downtown.
Michael Schonbrun, Founder and CEO of Balfour and former President of National Jewish Health, needed to find his mother a retirement community. After her husband’s death, Madeline, a lifelong New Yorker active in charity work, wanted to move to Colorado to be closer to family, but didn’t want to sacrifice the amenities and sophisticated lifestyle of downtown living. Michael’s search left him unsatisfied; there were no senior living communities downtown, and no options that would meet Madeline’s expectations and lifestyle. And that’s why he created Balfour.
