WELCOME

WELCOME! THE CHORUS IS TUNING UP!

The holiday season is upon us, and this concert hall will resound with the joyous sounds of music from the instruments and voices of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra and Chorus.

Welcome One, Welcome, All Pray you be well and of good cheer! Welcome song, welcome dance! Happy we are to have the chance to wish you a Merry Christmas!

Those magical words of Christmas highlight the joys of the season here in Boettcher Concert Hall. The Chorus has been working for months to bring the best of its many vocal talents to the thrilling music of the holiday season.

Now singing in its 32nd season, we notice that a rather significant number of the singers in the Colorado Symphony Chorus weren’t even born when the chorus sang its inaugural season in 1984-85. Their fresh young talent complements beautifully the highly experienced veteran singers who have already contributed two or three decades of their vocal gifts to Colorado Symphony concerts.

Contributed is indeed the operative word, for these dedicated singers are volunteers who contribute hundreds of hours each year to honing their skills and mastering the intricacies of the challenging music of our culture’s greatest orchestral-choral literature.

But consider their reward for this contribution -- an intimate connection with the creative genius of Beethoven, Mahler, Holst, Handel, Orff, Verdi, Mozart, Vaughan Williams, and Walton. And that’s just this year. The list of musical experiences goes on with world premieres -- like William Hill’s The Raven last spring. They work with great conductors and soloists; they sing in pops concerts; they sing for special occasions (like Papal visits). They participate in recordings – the recent Colorado Symphony/Hyperion release of Vaughan Williams Dona Nobis Pacem and the premier recording of Stephen Hough’s Missa Mirabilis. They sing in festivals with the Philadelphia Orchestra, the New York Philharmonic, and the Aspen Music Festival Orchestra. So, though they never see a salary check, they do indeed have many enriching life experiences as thoroughly rewarding compensation.

Join us then for some delightful Christmas fare –

A Colorado Christmas, December 11-13, with the orchestra and chorus – that also features the Colorado Children’s Chorale and our jolly old friend in the red suit.

Home Alone – December 22, the film, accompanied by live music from the orchestra and chorus.

And make particular note of Handel’s monumental Messiah, December 18-20, performed by these forces with a fresh, exciting vision for a musical telling of this powerful story. This year, we add a Messiah Sing Along on Sunday afternoon for all of you who are eager to participate in those magnificent choruses.

Your Colorado Symphony has a special partner in the Colorado Symphony Chorus – an incomparable team that is all set to make the rafters ring this holiday season! Duain Wolfe, Chorus Director and Conductor

NEW FILE COMING


Revenge of the

Symphony

By Seth McNewIllustrations: Joe Oliver

When George Lucas was filming Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) and needed an epic film score to accompany his space odyssey, he reached out to his friend Steven Spielberg for recommendations. Spielberg had recently finished his movie Jaws (1975) and recommended the composer for that film, John Williams. This would be the start of an amazing number of iconic scores that Williams created for Lucas. This concert will explore the music of the legendary John Williams, who now has 135 studio recordings and over 40 Oscar nominations, through those iconic Star Wars movie scores.

This Star Wars concert is just one part of the Colorado Symphony’s Geek Series, affectionately named for its programming aimed at fans of sci-fi films, comic books, action movies, and more. The Colorado Symphony is making headlines for the innovative nature of this concert series, with features on the front page of the Wall Street Journal and on MSNBC the last few months.

Many people might not realize that music for many contemporary films (as well as for video games and other modern media) uses the same

instruments and musical language as symphonic literature by Beethoven, Brahms, and Holst. For

example, the audience will see and hear the same orchestral instruments during the Weekend of Star Wars concert

as during the Night in Vienna classical concert coming up on

New Year’s Eve.

Tristan Rennie, Colorado Symphony Second/Assistant Principal Bassoonist

and self-proclaimed geek, is a big fan of the Geek Series programming and the impact

these concerts have on audience members. “When you hear the music, that’s all you need to be transported into the story,” Tristan says. “We geek fans love the way our favorite movies, books, and video games transport us into new worlds to be explored. The expansive music for these movies has that same ability to transport us to our favorite galaxies,

SOUNDINGS 2015-2016 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG 19

You don’t have to go to a galaxy far, far away to get your

Star Wars fix this winter – just come to Boettcher Concert

Hall. Whether your loyalties lie with the Imperial Forces or

with the Rebel Troops, you’re sure to enjoy these themes

spanning the parsecs between Denver and Dagobah.

By Seth McNewIllustrations: Joe Oliver


kingdoms, castles, and beyond. You come to these concerts because you enjoy the films, and the live music makes the story only that much better.”

Rennie often likes to dress up for these shows and encourages audience members to do so as well. He says there’s nothing quite like getting to the hall and seeing not only the audience in their favorite geek garb but all of the musicians too.

While the Geek programming might be more lighthearted than the traditional Masterworks, the music certainly isn’t easy. This is especially true for the brass section of the orchestra that is responsible for many of the dramatic bursts that help to make scenes from films like Star Wars so powerful and unforgettable. John Sipher is the Colorado Symphony’s new Principal Trombone as of the start of the 2015/16 season. When asked about what it’s like to play the Star Wars concert, his first thought is how tiring it is to sustain that level of playing for an entire concert. “Anything John Williams, particularly Star Wars, is some of the most challenging work we brass players will play throughout the year. With classical programming shows, brass is usually used sparingly, but in these concerts we play more often, a lot louder, and for longer periods than we are used to. That’s what makes it so great though, the challenge is what makes it so fun.”

The Colorado Symphony takes on the 2015/16 season with more Geek Series programming than ever. For more Geek Series concerts and other pops concerts, check out these upcoming concerts:

• The Music of James Bond with Hilary Kole — November 28 - Saturday, 7:30 pm

• A Weekend of Star Wars — December 26-27 - Saturday 7:30 pm, Sunday 1:00 pm

• Pixar in Concert — January 15-16 - Friday, 7:30, Saturday, 2:30 pm

• A Symphonic Tribute to Mel Brooks — April 9 - Saturday, 7:30 pm

MUSICIAN SPOTLIGHT

Carolyn KunickiCongratulations to Carolyn Kunicki, Colorado Symphony Section Horn and recent honoree of the Colorado Symphony’s Women of Note.

Carolyn has been a musician nearly her entire life. She showed an interest in music at an early age and spent much of her youth playing the family piano and her father’s old boy scout bugle at their home in Pennsylvania. At age nine she started playing the French horn, partly because her mother thought it sounded pretty, partly because that’s what was available at the local school, but mostly because of Carolyn had a strong desire to play something loud.

It’s not easy for a small child to play the French horn. It requires muscle to hold the instrument during long practices as well as the stomach muscles and power to make the instrument sound right. This wasn’t much of an issue for Carolyn who came from an athletic family and remains very athletic to this day.

Carolyn was homeschooled starting at age nine, which gave her ample time to play her horn. She excelled both musically and academically, enough so to graduate early from high school. Even more impressive is that by age 16, Carolyn was already accepted to The Juilliard School..

She always knew she wanted to go to New York City, spending childhood nights watching David Letterman and dreaming of making it to the Big Apple. Going to The Juilliard School was a dream come true and it turned out to be everything she hoped it would be. She spent many nights at the Metropolitan Opera thanks to tickets given to her by her professor, even if they were standing tickets for a three hour long opera. She continued to excel in the French Horn performance and went on to win the The Juilliard School Strauss Horn Concerto competition her senior year.

After graduating, she auditioned and was awarded the prestigious Aspen Music Festival Fellowship, a three year program where fellows spend summers playing in Aspen. During her second summer she won the Aspen Wind Solo Competition. She would never make it to her third summer, because during one summer in Aspen, she ended up driving to Denver to take an audition with the Colorado Symphony.

Carolyn won the position of Assistant Horn during that audition back in 2001 and has been playing in the Colorado Symphony ever since. Carolyn has become not only an amazing member of the orchestra’s overall talent, but also a community leader in Colorado. Carolyn has a passion for educational outreach, and she is very involved in the Colorado Symphony’s education program, musicurious. One of her favorite programs is the Once Upon a Time

curriculum where she and fellow musicians go to schools to play music to the narration of Aesop’s Fables.

Carolyn couldn’t be more honored to be the recipient of the Women of Note accolade, saying “I grew up here. I was hired by the Colorado Symphony when I was just 21, I met my husband here, I had two children here - the Colorado Symphony is home to me, these people are my family. It’s so special to see this program, this group of women, making such an incredible impact in the arts community in Denver. The arts scene is growing in Denver and I think the next decade is going to be an amazing time for our city. Groups like Women of Note are helping our arts scene get to that next level and I’m honored to be a part of that.”

Thank you to our Women of NoteWomen of Note is a membership group of goodwill ambassadors for the Colorado Symphony, encouraging individuals and organizations to attend concerts and provide financial support to the region’s premier performing arts organization.

“Women of Note not only adds dimension and enrichment to our musical experiences, it contributes importantly to the Colorado Symphony’s financial success,” says Mary Rossick Kern, Colorado Symphony Co-Chair of the Board of Trustees and one of the founding members of Women of Note. “We are thrilled to honor Carolyn as this year’s Women of Note musician. As a dedicated musician, she makes an impact in the community and exemplifies the kind of dedication this program supports and nurtures.”

More than 95 percent of the funds raised through membership fees provide direct salary support to one distinguished female Colorado Symphony musician each year. Find out more at http://www.coloradosymphony.org/Support/Women-of-Note
