LETTER FROM THE CHAIR AND THE PRESIDENT

Dear Friends,

Welcome to Symphony Center, home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Chorus, Symphony Center Presents, the Negaunee Music Institute, and the Civic Orchestra of Chicago.

In late January, Riccardo Muti and the CSOA announce the exciting 2018–19 season of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Symphony Center Presents. If you are a subscriber, you will receive a season catalog in the mail and be the first to have the opportunity to sign up for the concerts of your choice. If you are not yet a subscriber, we encourage you to become one to enjoy the many benefits associ-ated with this membership.

The CSO has many exciting activities lined up for the balance of the current season, including the Orchestra’s second domestic tour, with eight concerts taking place at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.; Carnegie Hall in New York City; West Palm Beach and Naples, Florida; and Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

We are pleased to bring on this tour two new works commissioned by the CSO: Jennifer Higdon’s Low Brass Concerto, receiving its world premiere at Symphony Center (February 1–3) and featuring the renowned CSO brass; and CSO Mead Composer-in-Residence Samuel Adams’s many words of love, which was premiered by Maestro Muti and the CSO last spring. Additional repertoire on the tour will include Verdi’s Overture to I vespri siciliani, Brahms’s Symphony no. 2, Stravinsky’s Scherzo fantastique, Britten’s Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes, Chausson’s Poème de l ’amour et de la mer with mezzo-soprano Clémentine Margaine, and Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto performed by CSO Principal Clarinet Stephen Williamson.

On the Orchestra’s return to Chicago, we welcome back Christoph Eschenbach and Herbert Blomstedt, two distinguished conductors who have had long associations with the CSO. Soloist David Fray joins Eschenbach for Chopin’s Second Piano Concerto. We are also excited to mount our annual Crain-Maling Foundation CSO Young Artists Competition, with finals taking place in an admission-free concert with the Civic Orchestra of Chicago on March 3.

Thank you for being with us today, and please enjoy the perfor-mance. We look forward to enjoying many concerts with you in 2018 and in the years ahead.

Pulitzer Prize–winning composer Jennifer Higdon knows what audiences expect when trombones and tubas take the spotlight during an orchestral performance. Sound loud enough to raise the rafters. Heroic swagger and glittering declamation. Solemn nobility, perhaps, with a hint of impending doom. Or maybe some faintly comic lumbering.

Some of those qualities may pop up in the world premiere of Higdon’s Low Brass Concerto, a Chicago Symphony Orchestra commission to be conducted by Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti on February 1–3 (and to be performed on the CSO’s upcoming East Coast tour). But the American composer, whose extensive catalog includes several concertos for a wide range of solo instruments, was after something different in her commission for a concerto featuring two tenor trombones, bass trombone, and tuba.

In October 2016, Higdon flew to Chicago, from her home in Philadelphia, to meet with the CSO’s low brass section: Jay Friedman, principal trombone; Michael Mulcahy, trombone; Charles Vernon, bass trombone; and Gene Pokorny, principal tuba. “They’re great guys; they were a lot of fun to talk to,” she said. “We sat down and really discussed, believe it or not, what they would like in a concerto. Because when you’re writing a piece for some-one, you can tailor it for that player. They had a list of things. They gave me a DVD of recitals they had done, which helped a lot.”

Higdon also heard the CSO in Mussorgsky’s Pictures from an Exhibition, a work that prominently features the Orchestra’s brass section. “This was amazing, a complete coincidence,” she said. “It was a great way to really hear the brass.”

A few weeks later, she held a similar meeting with the low brass players of the Philadelphia Orchestra, which co-commissioned the concerto. According to Higdon, players at both orchestras asked her for the same unusual element.

“They said, ‘We can play beautifully. We can play softly.’ They wanted some lyrical material,” she said.

WORLD PREMIERE OF A LOW BRASS CONCERTO interview with Wynne Delacoma

THEY WANTED THE AUDIENCE TO HEAR THE BEAUTY OF WHAT THEY CAN DO.

—Jennifer Higdon

They wanted the audience to hear the beauty of what they can do. They also said, “We want music that has serious depth, that isn’t just dancing hippo or dancing elephant music,” which is the kind of music people expect them to play. So I thought about the beauty of the instruments, and I also thought about the power of the instruments. I tried to build on just those two concepts.

Higdon also dispensed with mutes, those devices that brass players stuff into the bells of their instruments to create a thinner, buzzier sound. “I didn’t use mutes at all,” she said. “I thought, ‘Let’s just write music for the sake of music.’ ”

The concerto opens with the brass quartet in a slow, quiet passage unaccompanied by the orchestra. Approximately seventeen minutes long, with no breaks between the slow and fast movements, the piece also includes duets and trios for the featured low brass. “I tried to do a mix of everyone playing together,” said Higdon, “duets, and then solos for each of the players.”

The Low Brass Concerto marks Higdon’s downtown CSO debut. During the Ravinia Festival’s 2004 season, the Orchestra performed her short, rambunctious Loco, one of several train-inspired works commissioned for the park’s 100th anniversary. In 2009, also at Ravinia, the CSO performed her Concerto 4-3, a piece with a tinge of bluegrass that also featured several soloists, in this case, three string players: two violins and bass. Christoph Eschenbach conducted both performances.

B orn in Brooklyn, but reared in Atlanta and Tennessee, Higdon, fifty-five, speaks with a lingering

southern lilt. Friendly and approach-able, she nonetheless has forged her own path from an early age. Her father was a freelance visual artist, and she describes her parents as “hippies” who exposed her and her brother to Atlanta’s cutting-edge cinema, art, and theater scenes. Classical music wasn’t high on the family’s agenda; she wrote short stories and

made 8mm films as a youngster. But somehow Higdon became enamored of the flute. She taught herself how to play and won the prized spot as principal flute in the marching band of Heritage High School, Maryville, Tennessee.

“I loved marching band so much, I just loved playing,” she said. “I started out in flute perfor-mance, but my flute teacher got me started on composing: I must have said something about that at some point.”

Higdon did her undergraduate work at Bowling Green University in Ohio and earned master’s and doctoral degrees at the University of Pennsylvania. She also earned an artist’s certifi-cate in composition from the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, where she currently holds a chair in composition.

I THOUGHT ABOUT THE BEAUTY OF THE INSTRUMENTS, AND I ALSO THOUGHT ABOUT THE POWER OF THE INSTRUMENTS. I TRIED TO BUILD ON JUST THOSE TWO CONCEPTS.

An admitted “late starter,” Higdon faced mul-tiple naysayers during her early years in music, especially when she decided to focus on com-posing. “People were like ‘no way you’re going to make a living at this,’ ” she said.

That was the thing I was hearing the most. While I was in school, I made the decision to try to freelance compose, which basically made everyone flip out. My teachers were definitely not happy with me about that one. It was fairly rough going in the early days, but then I started winning competi-tions, and people just started asking me for pieces. That happened when I was still in graduate school.

Higdon also battled against aesthetic head-winds in her student years. In the 1980s, most music schools emphasized a strict focus on atonal, dissonant music. Students like Higdon, more interested in tonal music, were consid-ered renegades.

“There was a lot of pressure when I was in school,” she said.

I took a lot of grief for not following the path they thought I should go on. They said, “You’re not advancing music if you’re not

writing atonally.” But I grew up in an artistic household, and my dad always said you had to question everything. You don’t have to do a certain thing in art; that’s not the way art works. So that was my attitude. I was a fairly independent thinker.

Despite her teachers’ warnings, Higdon has become one of classical music’s busiest compos-ers. She has a hefty catalog of completed works and several pieces, including a chamber opera and several concertos, in the pipeline. Her first opera, Cold Mountain, based on the 1997 novel by Charles Frazier, had its world premiere at the Santa Fe Opera in 2015.

With commissions arriving in a steady stream, Higdon has the luxury of writing in her own authentic voice for top-flight soloists like Hilary Hahn and ensembles like Chicago’s Eighth Blackbird and the CSO.

“For me, the challenge in this Low Brass Concerto was just writing beautiful lines that go well together without any extraneous sound effects,” she said. “To write what I think is engaging music.”

Wynne Delacoma is a Chicago-based arts journalist and lecturer.

MY DAD ALWAYS SAID YOU HAD TO QUESTION EVERYTHING. YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO A CERTAIN THING IN ART; THAT’S NOT THE WAY ART WORKS.

NEGAUNEE MUSIC INSTITUTE AT THE CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

Crain-Maling Foundation Chicago Symphony Orchestra Young Artists Competition

Since 1919, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Youth Auditions have featured the most talented young soloists from across Illinois. Past winners have included Rachel Barton Pine, CSO Associate Concertmaster Stephanie Jeong, and jazz great Herbie Hancock, who recently performed at Orchestra Hall in an SCP Jazz spe-cial concert. In an interview with Mike Thomas for CSO Sounds & Stories, Hancock described his debut performance with the CSO as an eleven-year-old pianist as “a major factor” in the development of his passion for music and in furthering his career.

Now known as the Crain-Maling Foundation CSO Young Artists Competition, this reimagined concerto competition identifies one outstanding young performer each season to perform as a soloist with the CSO during the following season. The instrument category rotates each year among strings, piano, and woodwinds/brass/percussion. Last year’s winner, Maya Buchanan, will perform a movement from Korngold’s Violin Concerto with the CSO in March. Her performance of the first movement of the concerto with the Civic Orchestra, recorded during the final round of last year’s competition, has also been featured on WFMT’s program Introductions.

This season’s applicants are asked to pre-pare one movement from a selection of piano concertos. A preliminary round will be held on January 27 and 28 at Symphony Center. Finalists will perform in Orchestra Hall on March 3, accompanied by the Civic Orchestra of Chicago under the direction of Sir Georg Solti Conducting Apprentice Erina Yashima.

This final performance is open to the public and begins at 2 p.m. Those interested may apply for a scholarship of up to $1000 toward a music camp or festival of their choosing.

For more information including eligibility require-ments, the repertoire list, and application instructions for the competition, please visit cso.org/yac.

Muti Conducts Vienna’s New Year’s Concert

With a group of Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association trustees, governing members, patrons, and President Jeff Alexander in atten-dance, the celebrated annual event was televised and broadcast on New Year’s Day to as many as fifty million people across more than ninety-five countries. “Muti is the grand seigneur among the star conductors,” wrote Karlheinz Roschitz of Vienna’s Kronen Zeitung, “a sound magician,

who, with just a few gestures, evokes beauty, love, and passion . . . but also, melancholy, Strauss’s famous ‘tear in the eye.’ And he relishes the sumptuous festiveness of Strauss.”

The Vienna Philharmonic’s New Year’s Concert is a long-standing tradition that dates to the late 1930s and early ’40s. With their cele-bratory tone and masterful interpretations of Vienna’s signature waltzes, marches, and polkas, the concerts have continu-ally grown in popularity and usher in each New Year with joy and optimism.

Muti conducted with “charisma, elegance, transparency, and fire, when appropriate,” according to Milan-based newspaper Corriere della Sera, as he led the ensemble with which he has had a close relationship since 1971. Salzburger Nachrichten noted that “Muti stimulated rather than tamed the musicians.” “He gives the philharmonic free rein, free rhythm. In return, he insists on exactness when he knows he is right,” added Wilhelm Sinkovicz of Vienna’s Die Presse.

Muti also provided an Italianate touch to this program by including works inspired by Italy, such as Roses from the South (nicknamed “La bella Italia”) and the inventive Quadrille by Johann Strauss, Jr., inspired by Verdi’s Un ballo in maschera. The Blue Danube Waltz and the Radetzky March, which brought the concert to its traditional close, were met with thunderous applause and standing ovations.

In honor of the world-premiere performances of Jennifer Higdon’s Low Brass Concerto, February 1–3, featured soloists and members of the CSO share their unique perspectives.

Jay Friedman Principal Trombone The Lisa and Paul Wiggin Principal Trombone Chair

What does it mean to you to be part of the low brass section of the CSO?The style is so strong and has been well established through the years. I was lucky enough to play with Mr. (Arnold) Jacobs and Mr. (Adolph) Herseth for about thirty-five years, to learn from them, and to carry on the tradition with my colleagues.

Is there a precedence for concertos written for this grouping of instruments?I’m reminded of something I read years ago about Robert Schumann as he was writing the Konzertstück for Four

Horns. Nobody had ever writ-ten anything like that before, so he said “I’m flying blind here. I’m creating a new musical form, and I have nothing to relate it to historically.” I imag-ine that Jennifer felt the same way; she knew this would be an interesting experiment.

What did you discuss with the composer for this commission?There’s quite a bit of lyrical writing in this piece, and we really stressed that desire to her. I also asked her not to have any gimmicks in there, like different mutes or glissandos,

circus effects—make it all pure music. I think she responded to that request well.

Describe the collaborative process with Riccardo Muti.I told him recently that other conductors rehearse the concert and then simply conduct what they rehearsed at the perfor-mance. He doesn’t do that. He rehearses, and then he rehearses the concert during the concert, which is even more intense and gets better results because he’s so involved in the music making.

What does it mean to you to be part of the low brass section of the CSO?This section has a history of not only legendary players, but also influential teachers. People from all over the world came to Chicago, as I did, to study and to get coaching. We have an awareness of the standard and style that has been created by this section historically, and a desire to continue to build on that tradition.

Describe the sound of the low brass section.It’s true that it’s a powerful orchestra and section, but

what is equally true and more unique is the fact that there is a lot of control with subtle dynamics. Of course we love the exciting big bits, but the wonderful thing about when we’re playing softly is that we’re often exposed—then you can really hear the amazing color of the section.

Is there a precedence for concertos written for this grouping of instruments?We have a tradition of pre-miering new works for brass. We’re very lucky to have the support of the Schmidt family, who have commissioned several

brass works, and each of us has given world premieres of concertos in the past. When you look at the history of all those pieces and now a new one, it’s historically significant. It’s unique in the world.

Describe the collaborative process with Riccardo Muti.When he has a score before him, he is the representative of the composer, and he’s very strict with himself. He is a dis-ciplined musician. Every con-cert counts. Whether in Vienna or a community concert, he is engaged and prepared.

Charles Vernon Trombone

What does it mean to you to be part of the low brass section of the CSO?One thing that I know and remind people about all the time is that this is the easiest place to perform because everybody just plays—similarly, the same. In other orchestras, there’s a lot of work towards getting a certain style, but here it just locks right in.

Is there a precedence for concertos written for this grouping of instruments?There have been several other trombone-section concertos written over the years. Basically

they’re all the same: showing the section as a whole without much interaction with the other members of the orchestra. Some are almost like a quar-tet. We understand the desire to feature the section on its own, but for this concerto, we wanted more interaction with the orchestra.

What should the audience listen for in this concerto?The piece starts with the four of us as a section, which is an impressive moment, but there is good energy throughout. All I can say is that when the maestro is up there, things

change; it puts a new light on what we’re doing. Muti can take something and make it really exciting.

Describe the collaborative process with Riccardo Muti.We’re the luckiest musicians on the planet to be in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and have him as the music director. There’s nothing like it anywhere; there’s nothing like him anywhere. With this unit, everything is at the highest possible level. I’m confident that, with him, this piece is going to be a hit.

Gene Pokorny Principal Tuba The Arnold Jacobs Principal Tuba Chair, endowed by Christine Querfeld

What does it mean to you to be part of the low brass section of the CSO?I am very honored to be part of the ensemble. The reputation of the brass section developed in the mid-1940s with Arnold Jacobs (tuba) on one end and, later, a new hire, Adolph Herseth (trumpet) on the top. With malleable colleagues in the middle between these strong bookends, a formidable brass section was forged. When the Orchestra found itself in European centers of music in the 1970s, the reputation of the

brass section really took off. To step into these very large shoes of those who came before us is more of an honor than you could believe.

What should the audience listen for in this concerto?I’m very glad that Jennifer chose to write for a contrabass tuba. Most of the time when there’s a solo piece for tuba, it’s written for a smaller instrument with a higher range. There’s a deeper sound with contrabass. In fact, this tuba is the one that Jacobs played in the Orchestra.

I’m glad to be part of that history by playing the very same instrument, continuing that legacy from 1944 up to this premiere.

Describe the collaborative process with Riccardo Muti.He gets up there and sells every work as if it’s the greatest piece of Western music ever written. He’s so involved in making a piece successful not only for the Orchestra and for the audience, but also for posterity.

What inspires your love of music?

JARED KAPLAN: My father was a very accomplished pianist who would practice four or five hours a day, even though he was a practicing lawyer; I can’t figure out how he found the time. I was inspired by him and played the piano, but quit when I graduated law school.

MARIDEE QUANBECK: In fact, we’ve been married twenty-seven years, and I haven’t heard him play the piano once. When he says he gave it up, he means it!

When it came to me, I decided not to play piano. I saw my older sister practice, and it seemed like the worst thing in the world. My parents always sang in the church choir, so I grew up with a lot of church music, Bach and Handel, but not a lot of symphonic music. It wasn’t until I met Jerry that I went to my first symphony.

Do you have a first memory of attending the Chicago Symphony Orchestra?

JK: I feel like I’ve attended all my life. When I graduated law school, I started subscribing immediately. My father used to have seats up front on the left side. He’d go whenever there was a piano soloist and follow the score.

MQ: When I met Jerry, he had two subscriptions. We would go all the time.

How did you first get involved as a Governing Member?

JK: One of my former partners, Tom Campbell, was Vice Chair of Nominations and Membership. He asked why I wasn’t a Governing Member (GM). I asked “What’s that?” He explained it to me, and so I joined.

MQ: Once Jerry joined the GMs, it really expanded our contact with the sym-phony. Up until then, I was just an audience member. The last eleven years have been a lot more fulfilling as a patron. We always know people at Symphony Center. It’s expanded my contact with and enthusiasm for the organization.

Tell us about the Patrons Tours you’ve participated in.

JK: We’ve been on three tours. The first one we went on was to New York, followed by a tour to Poland, Switzerland, and Paris, and most recently we went on the tour to the Canary Islands. While the Canary Islands and Paris sound like exotic places, a high point for us was that first performance at Carnegie Hall in New York. Before the Orchestra even began playing, there was a lengthy standing ovation when Maestro Muti took the stage. That’s when we realized what his joining the Orchestra meant to the musicians, and even to that New York audience.

MQ: On tours we have lots of contact with the musicians. They go on sightseeing tours with us and have dinner with us. You see them in different settings. Those were really fun things to do. What makes the tours extra memorable is getting up close and personal with the musicians.

Jared Kaplan and Maridee Quanbeck have been attending the CSO for over forty years as subscribers and are members of the Theodore Thomas Society. Jerry, who has been a Governing Member (GM) for eleven years, currently serves as the GM Chairman. He previously served as Vice Chair of the Nominations and Membership Committee in the 2012–13 & 2013–14 seasons. Recently retired, Jerry and Maridee enjoy traveling, attending the symphony, and catching a play in Chicago or the West End.

What inspires you to continue supporting the CSO?

JK: It never occurred to me not to subscribe to the symphony. The eleven years that I’ve been a GM have really given us an added dimension. We’re now interacting with the Orchestra from the inside rather than the outside. It’s a different feeling every time we go to a concert. We really feel like part of the CSO family. It’s a big difference. When we see the musicians onstage, they’re real people we’ve seen at dinners or other events. It gives us a greater depth of appreciation for the symphony.

MQ: As you get more involved, you realize the CSO is a major cultural institution in the city of Chicago. It’s the brightest light that we have in this city for cul-ture. We just have to support it. What would we do without it?

Do you have any advice for those looking to get more involved at the CSO?

JK: Join the GMs and actively participate in the events! GMs get a lot more out of their membership than the donor groups of a lot of other organi-zations. You get great events, VIP ticketing, membership in the Thomas Club, postconcert receptions, patron tours, and interactive intermissions. There’s a lot happening on a constant basis. It’s a terrific value. If you’re willing to par-ticipate, you’ll get a lot out of it.

What inspires your love of music?I started playing the flute when I was in fifth grade and loved it so much, that I played all the way through college. When I play music, the passage of time speeds up. Five hours feels like five minutes and that makes playing a great escape from my daily life.

I still play in the Buffalo Grove Symphonic Band and have played in a lot of different community bands in Florida, Boston, and Hawaii.

How did you first get involved with the Overture Council?I recently stopped traveling for work and was looking for a way to meet new people who had the common interest of the love of classical music. I looked on cso.org, found the Overture Council, and joined!

I really like the Overture Council. The members all have a common interest, and I have made some great friends. There are social events, educational events, and unique oppor-tunities to get a view of the inner workings of the CSO. The calendar includes events on different days of the week, offering everyone a chance to participate.

Tell us about Soundpost and your work as Co-Chair this season. What do you hope to achieve?I became the Soundpost co-chair in July with Elliot Callighan. My work is very enjoyable, because it gives me

the opportunity to help produce something creative and help bring young professionals to the Orchestra. It’s important to bring in a young audience to the Orchestra to get them excited about classical music. I’m nervous about the future of classical music and want to draw young people in to hear the Orchestra and inspire them to love classical music for the rest of their lives.

Are there any particular concerts you are looking forward to this season?I love holiday concerts! I have tickets to Home Alone and Merry, Merry Chicago! I also have tickets to the John Williams program in April and the Yo-Yo Ma concert in June. I’m looking forward to Lincoln Portrait by Copland and several other concerts to be determined.

My favorite composer, however, is a band composer—Percy Grainger. I enjoy how he incorporates common folk tunes into his works.

What is your advice for first-time concertgoers?People think they have to enjoy classical music in a certain way. That is not true! I encour-age people to enjoy it in their own way.

If you want to learn a bit more about the music before you attend a concert, Soundpost is a great way to enjoy the CSO. Soundpost explores the role of classical music in today’s world and includes a pre-concert lecture, light bites, and min-gling with others who share an interest in exploring classical music. The programming ties to the music you’re about to hear so you can walk into the hall with a bit of knowledge and something to consider as you listen to the concert. And it’s a great deal at $35.

Kristin Jaburek has been a member of the CSO Overture Council (OC) since the 2016–17 season and currently serves as the Soundpost Co-Chair with Elliot Callighan. She works in technology consulting, helping retailers to better serve their customers by aligning tech-nology with business strategy. Kristin played the flute throughout university while studying engineer-ing and geography. She also loves to spend as much time as possible each year in Hawaii pursuing her passions for longboard surfing and hiking.

COMMENTS by Phillip Huscher

Above: Stravinsky, ca. 1903

Igor StravinskyBorn June 17, 1882; Oranienbaum, RussiaDied April 6, 1971; New York City

Scherzo fantastique, Op. 3

The Scherzo fantastique is the first music by Stravinsky that Serge Diaghilev heard. On the basis of these ten-plus minutes of swarming bees—to use Stravinsky’s own image—and the brief shower of his orchestral Fireworks, Diaghilev

offered the Russian composer a job, and together they made history. Neither the scherzo nor Fireworks is the brilliant achievement of The Firebird, the first ballet Stravinsky wrote for Diaghilev’s troupe and the work that truly launched his career. And Stravinsky’s utterly original voice is not always consistently recogniz-able here. But the Scherzo fantastique is like an early painting in a retrospective exhibition—and it is clearly a painting, not a drawing—that paves the way for the great, revolutionary canvases of later years.

The Scherzo fantastique is essentially a student work, though with Igor Stravinsky as the student and Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov as the teacher, it naturally overcomes the normal confines of the genre: here promise is already greatly fulfilled and obvious models assimi-lated in a masterful fashion. By 1907, the year Stravinsky wrote the scherzo, Rimsky-Korsakov had become not only a mentor but also a substitute for Stravinsky’s own father, who

had died in 1902. Their meetings were no longer as formal or regular as lessons, but maintaining frequent contact was indispensable to both. Late in 1907, Stravinsky showed the Scherzo fantastique to Rimsky-Korsakov, who apparently spoke approvingly to friends of the new work. Fireworks was written the following year to celebrate the forthcoming wedding of Rimsky-Korsakov’s daughter. And although Rimsky-Korsakov died before the two works were publicly performed for the first time, in January 1909, fortune placed Serge Diaghilev in the audience instead.

Stravinsky himself admitted his models in writing the Scherzo fantastique. The slow mid-dle section, he said, was indebted to the Good Friday Music from Wagner’s Parsifal, a work he knew only from reading the score. (He sat through it in Bayreuth in 1911 and found it a long-winded bore.) In the scherzo’s quicksilver grace there is something of the “Mendelssohn elegance” that attracted him early in his career. To Rimsky-Korsakov’s surprise and distaste, Stravinsky also was taken with the new French music. Indeed, Dukas’s Sorcerer’s Apprentice hovers periodically—it makes a real appearance in Fireworks—and the influence of Debussy’s nocturnes is pervasive. Stravinsky later remem-bered his first hearing of the nocturnes at a concert in Saint Petersburg as “among the major events of my early years.” Afterward, Stravinsky admitted that there is also something of

Rimsky-Korsakov’s own Flight of the Bumblebee in the scherzo’s rushing chromatic lines.

In 1917 the score was used as ballet music and fitted to a scenario drawn from Maurice Maeterlinck’s The Life of the Bees, against the wishes of both Stravinsky and Maeterlinck. “Finally,” Stravinsky reports, “some bad litera-ture about bees was published on the fly-leaf of my score to satisfy my publisher, who thought a ‘story’ would help to sell the music.” The text:

This piece is inspired by an episode in the life of the bees. The first section gives an impression of life and activity in the hive. The central section, a slow movement, depicts sunrise and the nuptial flight of the queen bee, the love flight with her chosen mate, and his death. The third section, a reprise of the first, shows the peaceful activity of the hive continuing. Thus the whole piece becomes for us human beings the fantastic picture of an eternal cycle.

Although Stravinsky always turned up his nose at the bee business, claiming that the scherzo was conceived as a piece of pure music, a letter from the composer to Rimsky-Korsakov dated July 1907 calls it “the fantastic Scherzo, ‘The Bees.’ ”

The Scherzo fantastique is one of the first of Stravinsky’s works that Chicago audiences heard—the notorious Sacre du printemps had received its Chicago premiere only three months earlier—when Stravinsky himself conducted it during his first appearance with the Orchestra in 1925.

Jennifer HigdonBorn December 31, 1962; Brooklyn, New York

Low Brass Concerto

“Jennifer Higdon makes her living writing solely on commission” is the first sentence of a brief biographical statement that Higdon sent by email, its matter-of-fact tone nearly obscuring its significance. But with those words, Higdon

places herself in the long historical quest com-posers have faced to lead their lives off the income from their art form alone. It is a goal that has eluded most composers over the centuries, and it says a great deal about the popularity and demand for Higdon’s music today, when there are

no more Esterházy dynasties to foot the bill—Haydn worked at the Esterházy court for nearly thirty years—and when musical institutions (orchestras, chamber ensembles, opera houses) are watching every penny.

Higdon received the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in Music for her Violin Concerto (the Pulitzer citation called it “a deeply engaging piece that combines flowing lyricism with dazzling virtu-osity”), and her Percussion Concerto won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Classical Composition that same year, but her hold on audiences began much earlier. Blue Cathedral, composed in 2000 for the Curtis Institute of Music and influenced by the recent death of her younger brother, had already become something

COMPOSED2017

These are the world premiere performances.

Commissioned by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and co-commis-sioned by the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Baltimore Symphony

INSTRUMENTATIONtwo solo tenor trombones, solo bass trombone, solo tuba, and an orchestra consisting of two flutes, two oboes, clarinet and bass clarinet, bassoon and contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, timpani, percussion (crotales, vibraphone, glockenspiel, bundle sticks, small triangle, bass

drum, concert snare, practice pads, sizzle cymbal, splash cymbal, china cymbal, suspended cymbal, large suspended cymbal), strings


of a sensation in the orchestral world; it has now been performed more than six hundred times. Like the soaring Blue Cathedral, all of Higdon’s music is direct and unpretentious, free of fads and gimmickry, thoughtfully scored, and, as the Pulitzer committee recognized, deeply engaging for both players and concert-goers, which sets it apart from much of the high-profile music composed in recent decades. Audiences have noticed the difference. Higdon’s first opera, Cold Mountain (based on Charles Frazier’s bestselling novel and set in the Carolinas, just over the Smoky Mountains from where Higdon spent much of her childhood in eastern Tennessee) sold out its entire run of six performances at the Santa Fe Opera in 2015. Cold Mountain was recorded and recently won an International Opera Award for Best World Premiere.

Higdon came to music late—she taught herself to play flute at the age of fifteen and did not pursue composition until she was twenty-one. She was told she couldn’t compose because she started too late, and that she would never make a living doing it. But after a conventional top-drawer academic career—Higdon holds degrees from the University of Pennsylvania (studying there with George Crumb), Bowling Green State University (as a flute major), and the Curtis Institute of Music—she quickly found her place in the musical world. Writing in a wide range of forms and for various combinations of instruments and voices, Higdon has seen her catalog of works played and recorded with exceptional frequency (her compositions have been released on more than sixty CDs).

Higdon has written extensively for orchestra over the years, and she has composed several concertos, including a full-scale Concerto for Orchestra (inspired, in part, by attending many performances of the Philadelphia Orchestra) and solo concertos for oboe, percussion, piano (premiered by Yuja Wang nearly a decade ago),

soprano saxophone, viola, and violin (written for her former Curtis student, Hilary Hahn). Her newest concerto is her third to cast its spotlight on a group of soloists, in this case three trom-bones and tuba—the “low brass” that is a subset of sorts of the Chicago Symphony’s long-ac-claimed brass section.

Jennifer Higdon on the Low Brass Concerto

N ormally, when people think of brass they think of power, which is not an inac-curate assessment. But brass players are

quick to tell you that they also can play beautiful melodies, and do so quietly and with exquisite control. So early on in the planning process for this concerto, I decided to create music that would emphasize the qualities of majesty, grace, and power.

Writing this concerto was a tremendous challenge, primarily because where normally there is one person standing at the front of the stage, suddenly I had four. Fortunately, I’ve had the prior opportunity to write two concertos for multiple soloists. My first work was my bluegrass/classical hybrid concerto for Time for Three, Concerto 4–3, which the Chicago Symphony performed at the Ravinia Festival in 2009. The second time was writing On a Wire for the four-time Grammy winners (and Chicago-based) Eighth Blackbird. It was this last concerto that convinced an admin-istrator with the Chicago Symphony that I might be able to write a concerto featuring the famous low brass section of this orchestra.

When I begin work on a commission, I think a lot about the personalities of the players. I have, after decades of writing music, learned that low brass players are always fun to work with. They bring an infectious joy to everything they play, which in itself is inspiring.

With all of this in mind, I decided to write a traditional work that highlights these

28

qualities, in straightforward lines and melodies. Sometimes it is the most challenging thing that a composer can do: compose a melody or chorale, with no special effects or colors, just focusing on the moving line. This is a work in one movement, with alternating slow and fast

sections. There are solos for each player, as well as a few duets and some chorales. It is a musi-cal portrait of four extraordinary players, each working individually and as a group, bringing to the front of the stage all of their majesty, grace, and power.

When Ernest Chausson died in 1899 at the age of forty, he had just begun to make a name for himself. In April 1897, the great Belgian violinist Eugène Ysaÿe introduced Chausson’s Poème for violin and orchestra in Paris to a thunderous and

sustained ovation. The composer kept repeating to his friend, the novelist Camille Mauclair, “I can’t get over it.” The Paris premiere of Chausson’s only symphony six weeks later was also rapturously received. During the next two years, Chausson wrote at full speed, turning out some of his best work. He seemed destined to become one of the major French voices in twentieth-century music. Then, in June 1899, as he was racing to the train station to meet his wife, he lost control of his bicycle and crashed into a stone wall. His young daughter, who had gone on ahead of him, returned to find her father lying dead, his skull crushed. Debussy, Fauré,

Dukas, Rodin, and Degas all attended his funeral, mourning the loss of a colleague they had expected to accompany into the new century.

Chausson chose the life of a composer after first earning a law degree at his family’s insis-tence. (His father, prophetically named Prosper, was a wealthy entrepreneur who made his fortune when the boulevards of Baron Haussmann’s Paris were built.) He was sworn in as a barrister in Paris in 1877, but it was the composition of his first song, “Les lilas” (The lilacs), that year that suggested the direction his future would take. Knowing that he would never have to work a day of his life, and recognizing that his true love was music, Ernest enrolled in the Paris Conservatory two years later to study with Jules Massenet and César Franck. That summer he heard Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde for the first time and was over-whelmed; he knew for certain that he had made the right choice. (In 1882, he went to Bayreuth for the premiere of Parsifal, and the next year he took his bride there on their honeymoon.) Massenet called Chausson “an exceptional person and a true artist,” but it was Franck, with his

Above: Chausson, ca. 1890

29

ever-growing circle of followers, who encouraged Chausson to find his voice.

Chausson’s career as a composer lasted barely fifteen years, and work on the Poème de l ’amour et de la mer (Poem of love and the sea) occupied him for ten of those. Blessed with an abundance of both money and talent, Chausson wrote only when he felt like it and was rarely pressed by deadlines, external or self-imposed, to finish

anything. His output is small, and by far the largest portion is devoted to vocal music—songs, the lovely Chanson perpetuelle for voice and string quartet, and this orchestral triptych. The texts for the Poem of Love and the Sea, like those of many of Chausson’s songs, are by his friend Maurice Bouchor, now forgotten but once popular enough to have a street in Paris named for him.

For Poem of Love and the Sea, Chausson set two of Bouchor’s poems about lost love as large pieces for voice and orchestra, separating them by a short, pensive orchestral interlude. The work is unique in form; it’s neither a loose collection of songs like Berlioz’s Les nuits d’été, its only prece-dent in the French literature, nor is it a narrative song cycle, like Mahler’s Songs of a Wayfarer, its exact contemporary. With his exquisite, expres-sive music, Chausson turns Bouchor’s unremark-able poems into a great, probing monologue. Both in the union of voice and orchestra, and the sumptuous, highly chromatic harmonic language, Chausson reveals the benefit of his visits to the Wagnerian shrine in Bayreuth. But the delicacy, nuance, and transparency of the orchestral music, and the subtle inflections of the vocal writing, are entirely his own. And the Poem is unsurpassed in the way Chausson exposes the depths of melancholy. As Debussy said, the music itself “becomes the very feeling which inspired its emotion.”

POÈME DE L’AMOUR ET DE LA MER POEM OF LOVE AND THE SEA

Benjamin BrittenBorn November 22, 1913; Lowestoft, Sussex, EnglandDied December 4, 1976; Aldeburgh, England

Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes, Op. 33a

Britten set Peter Grimes, his first major opera, in a small fishing village that could easily be the seaside town of Aldeburgh in Suffolk, which he helped to make famous. Britten was born some twenty miles up the coast from Aldeburgh, and he

eventually established his own music festival there. The sea is a powerful presence in Peter Grimes—it dominates Britten’s characters, just as

it has controlled life in Aldeburgh (of the five streets that once ran parallel to the coastline, two are now submerged). As the final curtain falls, even the individual tragedy of Peter Grimes is washed away by the great, ceaseless tide.

In the orchestral interludes which divide the scenes of Peter Grimes, Britten has painted the sea in all its “terrific splendour”—the phrase of George Crabbe, the Aldeburgh poet whose The Borough was the inspiration for Britten’s opera. The interludes depict more than scenery; in them we sense the plight of an outsider in an unsympathetic society—“he lived from all

mankind apart,” Crabbe writes of Grimes—and the painful alienation that lies at the heart of all Britten’s work.

Here’s the synopsis of the opera Britten pro-vided for the opening-night audience:

In the life of his Suffolk fishing-town Peter Grimes fits uneasily. He lives alone—visionary, ambitious, impetuous, poaching and fishing without caution or care for con-sequences, and with only one friend in town—the widowed schoolmistress, Ellen Orford. He is determined to make enough money to ask her to marry him, though too proud to ask her till he has lived down his unpopularity and remedied his poverty.

He fishes with the aid of an apprentice, bought, according to the custom of the time, from the workhouse. In the prologue, he is chief witness in an inquest on his first apprentice and the verdict is accidental death. In act 1 he is boycotted but obtains a second apprentice, whom Ellen goes to fetch for him and promises to care for. In act 2 she discovers he has been using the boy cruelly.

Led by the rector, the men of the borough go to investigate his hut. Frightened, Peter takes the boy down the scar of a recent land-slide under which he moors his boat, and the boy falls down the cliff. When it is discov-ered that the boy is dead, a hue-and-cry from the borough sets out to find Peter, who commits suicide by scuttling his boat just out of sight of the town. This is in the small

hours of the morning. The borough wakes up and goes on with its life as usual.

B ritten’s interludes are distinct from the rest of the opera (they are to be played with the

curtain down), yet they’re indispens-able to its meaning and impact—in that sense, they’re like the prose poems with which Virginia Woolf introduces each section of her novel The Waves. After the triumphant premiere of Peter Grimes on June 7, 1945, Britten realized that the interludes could stand alone as evocative sea pictures, and he selected four to be played as a suite.

The first interlude, Dawn, links the prologue and the first scene of act 1, which opens on a street by the sea. Britten’s music is both beautiful and terrifying—it suggests the powerful paintings by J.M.W. Turner, the great English artist of the nineteenth century who bought several houses so that he could watch the sun rise over the sea from different vantage points. The interlude opens with a clear, high theme—like the fine line dividing the water and the sky at dawn. Clarinet and harp arpeggios suggest the spray of the waves, while quiet chords in the brass and low strings hint of a terrible undercurrent, even in the warming glow of dawn. This music returns at the opera’s end, to start another day, oblivious to Grimes’s suicide.

Aldeburgh is in Constable country, and, in the second interlude, Sunday Morning, it’s easy to picture a lone church steeple against the wide sky. This is the music that opens act 2: villagers hurry through town on their way to church; the sea sparkles in the sun. Four horns in pairs sound the ringing of the bells (they’re later joined by actual bells). Soon the streets are empty—a cloud seems to have covered the sun.

The final act of the opera opens in the calm of night, with the moon shining over still waters.

Moonlight, the third interlude, depicts not only the sea’s repose (and, in the harp and flutes, the glimmer of the moon on the waves), but also its underlying menace. The fourth interlude, Storm, links the two scenes of act 1. Alone, watching fierce clouds approach over the sea, Peter sings:

What harbor shelters peace,Away from tidal waves, away from storms?What harbor can embraceTerrors and tragedies?With her there’ll be no quarrels,With her the mood will stay.Her breast is harbor too,Where night is turned to day.

The storm breaks and the music rises to a ter-rible climax. It finally subsides, in slow phrases of eerie calm, but Grimes’s equilibrium is upset, and he soon comes to realize that his dreams are beyond his reach.

Riccardo Muti Conductor

Riccardo Muti, born in Naples, Italy, is one of the preeminent conductors of our day. In 2010, when he became the tenth music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO), he already had more than forty years of experience at the helm of

the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Philharmonia Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, and Teatro alla Scala. He is a guest conductor for orchestras and opera houses all over the world: the Berlin Philharmonic, the Vienna Philharmonic, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Vienna State Opera, the Royal Opera House, the Metropolitan Opera, and many others.

Muti studied piano under Vincenzo Vitale at the Conservatory of San Pietro a Majella in his hometown of Naples, graduating with distinc-tion. He subsequently received a diploma in composition and conducting from the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milan, also graduating with distinction. His principal teachers were Bruno Bettinelli and Antonino Votto, princi-pal assistant to Arturo Toscanini at La Scala. After he won the Guido Cantelli Conducting Competition—by unanimous vote of the jury—in Milan in 1967, Muti’s career developed quickly. In 1968, he became principal conductor of Florence’s Maggio Musicale, a position that he held until 1980.

Herbert von Karajan invited him to conduct at the Salzburg Festival in Austria in 1971, and Muti has maintained a close relationship with the summer festival and with its great orchestra, the Vienna Philharmonic, for more than forty-five years. When he conducted the philharmonic’s 150th anniversary concert in 1992, he was presented with the Golden Ring, a special sign of esteem and affection, and in 2001, his outstanding artistic contributions to the orchestra were further recognized with the Otto Nicolai Gold Medal. He is also a recipient of a silver medal from the Salzburg Mozarteum for his contribution to the music of W.A.

Mozart and the Golden Johann Strauss Award by the Johann Strauss Society of Vienna. He is an honorary member of Vienna’s Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde (Society of the Friends of Music), the Vienna Hofmusikkapelle, the Vienna Philharmonic, and the Vienna State Opera.

Muti succeeded Otto Klemperer as chief conductor and music director of London’s Philharmonia Orchestra in 1973, holding that position until 1982. From 1980 to 1992, he was music director of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and in 1986, he became music director of Milan’s Teatro alla Scala. During his nineteen-year ten-ure, in addition to directing major projects such as the Mozart–Da Ponte trilogy and Wagner Ring cycle, Muti conducted operatic and sym-phonic repertoire ranging from the baroque to the contemporary, also leading hundreds of con-certs with the Filarmonica della Scala and tour-ing the world with both the opera company and the orchestra. His tenure as music director, the longest of any in La Scala’s history, culminated in the triumphant reopening of the restored opera house with Antonio Salieri’s Europa riconosciuta, originally commissioned for La Scala’s inaugural performance in 1778.

Since 1997, as part of Le vie dell ’Amicizia (The paths of friendship), a project of the Ravenna Festival in Italy, Muti has annually conducted large-scale concerts in war-torn and poverty-stricken areas around the world, using music to bring hope, unity, and attention to pres-ent day social, cultural, and humanitarian issues. In March 2017, Muti conducted two concerts in Florence, Italy, as part of the first-ever G7 Culture Summit.

Throughout his career, Muti has dedicated much time and effort to training young musi-cians. In 2004, he founded the Orchestra Giovanile Luigi Cherubini (Luigi Cherubini Youth Orchestra), based in his native Italy. He regularly tours with the ensemble to prestigious concert halls and opera houses all over the world. In 2015, he founded the Riccardo Muti Italian Opera Academy in Ravenna, Italy, to train young conductors, répétiteurs, and singers in the Italian opera repertoire. He was invited to

35

bring a similar program to South Korea in 2016, establishing the first of its kind in Asia.

Muti has received innumerable international honors. He is a Cavaliere di Gran Croce of the Italian Republic, Officer of the French Legion of Honor, and a recipient of the German Verdienstkreuz. Queen Elizabeth II bestowed on him the title of honorary Knight Commander of the British Empire, Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded him the Order of Friendship, and Pope Benedict XVI made him a Knight of the Grand Cross First Class of the Order of Saint Gregory the Great—the highest papal honor. Muti also has received Israel’s Wolf Prize for the arts, Sweden’s prestigious Birgit Nilsson Prize, Spain’s Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts, Japan’s Order of the Rising Sun Gold and Silver Star, and the gold medal from Italy’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs for his promotion of Italian culture abroad as well as the prestigious “Presidente della Repubblica” award from the Italian government. Muti has received more than twenty honorary degrees from univer-sities around the world.

Considered one of the greatest interpreters of Verdi in our time, Muti wrote a book on the composer, Verdi, l ’ italiano, published in Italian, German, and Japanese. His first book, Riccardo Muti: An Autobiography: First the Music,

Then the Words, also has been published in several languages.

Riccardo Muti’s vast catalog of recordings, numbering in the hundreds, ranges from the traditional symphonic and operatic repertoires to contemporary works. His debut recording with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus of Verdi’s Messa da Requiem, released in 2010 by CSO Resound, won two Grammy awards. His second recording with the CSO and Chorus, Verdi’s Otello, released in 2013 by CSO Resound, won the 2014 International Opera Award for the Best Complete Opera.

During his time with the CSO, Muti has won over audiences in greater Chicago and across the globe through his music making as well as his demonstrated commitment to sharing classical music. His first annual free concert as CSO music director attracted more than 25,000 people to Millennium Park. He regularly invites subscribers, students, seniors, and people of low incomes to attend, at no charge, his CSO rehearsals. Muti’s commitment to artistic excel-lence and to creating a strong bond between an orchestra and its communities continues to bring the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to ever higher levels of achievement and renown.

Riccardo Muti Conducts his Fifth New Year’s Concert with the Vienna PhilharmonicRiccardo Muti received international acclaim for his fifth New Year’s Concert with the Vienna Philharmonic (see page 11 of your program). “After nearly fifty years of uninterrupted collaboration, Muti’s understanding of the Viennese style is perfect,” wrote La Stampa. Many journalists also noted the appeal of the “special Italianate elegance” (Salzburger Nachtrichten) that Muti added to the program.

In addition to the customary waltzes and marches composed by members of the Strauss family, “The New Year’s Concert offered an exclusive mix, in which both beauty and historical significance were honored,” wrote Karlheinz Roschitz of Vienna’s Kronen Zeitung, with music inspired by Italy and its composers. These works included Suppé’s Overture to Boccaccio; a nod to Rossini’s famous overture with Johann Strauss, Sr.’s William Tell Gallop; and the inventive quadrille by Johann Strauss, Jr., based on music from Verdi’s A Masked Ball. “Before the encores, the official program ended with the waltz Roses from the South, which, in Italy, bears the subtitle ‘La bella Italia,’ ” noted Derek Weber of the Salzburger Nachrichten, “and to which Muti added particular elegance.”

The New Year’s Day concert, which was broadcast to more than ninety countries and seen by more than fifty million viewers worldwide, is available now in digital and CD formats as a Sony Classical release. A DVD of this special performance will be available later this spring.

Considered one of the leading singers of her generation, French mezzo-soprano Clémentine Margaine has gained interna-tional acclaim in recent seasons at such theaters as the Metropolitan Opera in New York,

the Paris Opera, Deutsche Oper Berlin, the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, Teatro dell’Opera in Rome, Grand Théâtre de Genève in Switzerland, Semperoper Dresden, Teatro di San Carlo in Naples, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Opera Australia, and the Canadian Opera Company.

In the 2017–18 season, Margaine makes three significant role debuts: Fidès in the new produc-tion of Meyerbeer’s Le prophète at Deutsche Oper Berlin, Amneris in Aida with Opera Australia, and Concepcion in L’heure espagnole at the Paris Opera. She also makes debuts at the Liceu in Barcelona as Léonor in La favorite and at the Théâtre du Capitole in Toulouse as the title role in Carmen. Other engagements include La favorite in Marseille and Munich, as well as a new production of Carmen in Berlin. She began the season in a concert performance of Berlioz’s The Damnation of Faust in Bucharest.

Margaine sang her first Carmen at Deutsche Oper Berlin, a role for which she has won international acclaim and since sung in Munich,

Rome, Dresden, Dallas, Naples, Washington (D.C.), Sydney, and Toronto. Last season, she made debuts at the Metropolitan Opera and Paris Opera in this signature role. She also debuted at the Lyric Opera of Chicago as Dulcinée in Massenet’s Don Quichotte. Other roles in her repertoire include Didon in Les Troyens, Charlotte in Werther, and Adalgisa in Norma.

Shortly after graduating from the Paris Conservatory, Margaine was named a “clas-sic revelation” and awarded the special jury prize at the Marmande International Singing Competition. She subsequently joined the ensemble of the Deutsche Oper Berlin, where she starred in the new production of The Damnation of Faust and as Dalilah in Saint-Saëns’s Samson and Dalilah. In 2015, she made her debut at the Teatro Colón with her first performances as Charlotte in Werther, and in 2016 at the Salzburg Festival as Rebecca in a concert performance of Nicolai’s The Templar.

Active in concert as well, Clémentine Margaine made her debut at the Musikverein in Vienna in Mendelssohn’s Elijah with the Orchestre national de France under Daniele Gatti and appeared with the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra in Berlioz’s Romeo and Juliet under Stéphane Denève.

These concerts mark Clémentine Margaine’s debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

Now celebrating its 127th season, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently hailed as one of the world’s leading orchestras. In September 2010, renowned Italian conductor Riccardo Muti became its tenth music director. His vision for the Orchestra—to deepen its engagement with the Chicago community, to nurture its legacy while supporting a new generation of musicians, and to collaborate with visionary artists—signals a new era for the institution.

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s distin-guished history began in 1889, when Theodore Thomas, then the leading conductor in America and a recognized music pioneer, was invited by Chicago businessman Charles Norman Fay to establish a symphony orchestra here. Thomas’s aim to establish a permanent orchestra with performance capabilities of the highest quality was realized at the first concerts in October 1891. Thomas served as music director until his death in 1905—just three weeks after the dedication of Orchestra Hall, the Orchestra’s permanent home designed by Daniel Burnham.

Frederick Stock, recruited by Thomas to the viola section in 1895, became assistant conductor in 1899, and succeeded the Orchestra’s founder. His tenure lasted thirty-seven years, from 1905 to 1942—the longest of the Orchestra’s music direc-tors. Dynamic and innovative, the Stock years saw the founding of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, the first training orchestra in the United States affiliated with a major symphony orchestra, in 1919. He also established youth auditions, orga-nized the first subscription concerts especially for children, and began a series of popular concerts.

Three distinguished conductors headed the Orchestra during the following decade: Désiré Defauw was music director from 1943 to 1947; Artur Rodzinski assumed the post in 1947–48; and Rafael Kubelík led the ensemble for three seasons from 1950 to 1953. The next ten years belonged to Fritz Reiner, whose recordings with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra are still considered performance hallmarks. It was Reiner who invited Margaret Hillis to form the Chicago Symphony Chorus in 1957. For the five seasons from 1963 to 1968, Jean Martinon held the position of music director.

Sir Georg Solti, the Orchestra’s eighth music director, served from 1969 until 1991. He then held the title of music director laureate and returned to conduct the Orchestra for several

weeks each season until his death in September 1997. Solti’s arrival launched one of the most successful musical partnerships of our time, and the CSO made its first overseas tour to Europe in 1971 under his direction, along with numerous award-winning recordings.

Daniel Barenboim was named music director designate in January 1989, and he became the Orchestra’s ninth music director in September 1991, a position he held until June 2006. His tenure was distinguished by the opening of Symphony Center in 1997, highly praised oper-atic productions at Orchestra Hall, numerous appearances with the Orchestra in the dual role of pianist and conductor, twenty-one interna-tional tours, and the appointment of Duain Wolfe as the Chorus’s second director.

From 2006 to 2010, Bernard Haitink held the post of principal conductor, the first in CSO his-tory. Pierre Boulez’s long-standing relationship with the CSO led to his appointment as principal guest conductor in 1995. He was named Helen Regenstein Conductor Emeritus in 2006, a position he held until his death in January 2016. Only two others have served as principal guest conductors: Carlo Maria Giulini, who began to appear in Chicago regularly in the late 1950s, was named to the post in 1969, serving until 1972. Claudio Abbado held the position from 1982 to 1985.

In January 2010, Yo-Yo Ma was appointed the CSO’s Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant by Riccardo Muti. In this role, he partners with Muti, staff, and musicians to provide program development for the Negaunee Music Institute at the CSO.

Mead Composers-in-Residence Samuel Adams and Elizabeth Ogonek were appointed by Riccardo Muti and began their three-year terms in the fall of 2015. In addition to composing, they curate the contemporary MusicNOW series.

Since 1916, recording has been a significant part of the Orchestra’s activities. Current releases on CSO Resound, the Orchestra’s indepen-dent recording label, include the Grammy Award–winning release of Verdi’s Requiem led by Riccardo Muti. Recordings by the CSO have earned sixty-two Grammy awards from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.
