2008-2009

“Vivid or distinctive quality.” That’s just one of the many definitions

of the word color as provided by our good friend Webster. It’s also an

apt summary of the exciting 2008-2009 Dayton Philharmonic Season.

Here you’ll find a variety of musical styles that paint a broad canvas

representing the creativity of all kinds of composers and songwriters.

From the Baroque Era to the pop hits of today, you’ll find some of

the best music from 400 years–performed live in one of the nation’s

finest concert halls, the Mead Theatre in the Benjamin and Marian

Schuster Performing Arts Center.

Of course, people are colorful too. Each musician brings a unique

perspective. Each brings a different life’s story to their work. That

is why music performance is a living art form. It is why every

performance has a distinct quality all its own.

This organization, like a prism, channels the energies of many people

to create the season you see before you right now, and ultimately,

the music you hear in concert. You experience a spectrum comprised

of our DPO musicians, guest artists, chorus, youth orchestras, staff,

stage crew, trustees and volunteers.

But, really, you are the key to this artistic endeavor! Live music gets its

hue, intensity and depth from the moment; it is a sublime expression

of the relationship between the people on stage and you, our

audience. Without the rainbow of feelings you send back to us in the

hall, there truly is no live music.

As an orchestra that serves the Miami Valley, our mission is to provide

entertainment and education for the community. There is another

important facet: to present unique and rarely heard works. On this

season you’ll find an amazing violin concerto by Panamanian native

and Dayton resident Roque Cordero. In fact, this program is one that

we had planned for the 2007-2008 season with Rachel Barton Pine

soloist. That date was snowed out, but we are thrilled to be able to

present the whole program intact for the January classical program

this year. Pray for good weather!

Take some time and relax with this season subscription booklet. I

know that you will find many, many wonders within; marvelous

discoveries that will color your life with shades of emotion, both

subtle and bold.

I look forward to sharing this exciting season with you...

“MAGIC AND MELODY”

september Thursday 18 & Saturday 20, 2008

DukAS The Sorcerer’s Apprentice

MOSzkOWSkI Piano Concerto in E major

BRAHMS Symphony No. 1 in C minor

NEAL GITTLEMAN conductorRICHARD DOWLING piano

Unfairly ignored by the whims of time, Moritz Moszkowski was once thought of as a “salon” composer. However, his influence is now seen as significant. His piano concerto is an unjustly overlooked 19th century virtuoso showpiece. You may even hear his debt to Viennese classical and romantic styles in Brahms’ first symphony. Neal opens the program with Dukas’ work of sonic alchemy.

“RAINBOW OF SOUND”

october Friday 10 & Saturday 11, 2008

ROSSINI Overture to Semiramide

MARTuCCI Notturno

TOWER Tambor

SCHuBERT Mass in A-flat major

NEAL GITTLEMAN conductorDPO CHORuS AND GuEST SOLOISTS

As a prism breaks light into multi-hued elements, so this program is made up of the widest variety of orchestral and vocal colors. Rossini’s full-bodied overture delights, Martucci’s dusky tone-painting caresses, Tower’s percussive piece excites and finally, Schubert’s sacred music transports you to an ethereal realm. A fantastic musical tour.

Nine programs make up the DPO

flagship Classical Series. They are

available as a Saturday 9 or a Thur/

Fri 9. A Friday 9 Series combines

five of these programs with four

Classical Connections programs. If

you purchase a nine-pack and cannot

attend a concert, as a subscriber you

may exchange for any other regular

subscription concert the DPO offers

(with the proper credit or debit).

Various six-packs are also offered.

CLASSICAL SEASON ARTISTS

NEAL GITTLEMAN His superb programming, adroit musical interpretations, and genial manner have made him Dayton’s own, unique classical connection.

RICHARD DOWLING The critics remark: “A musician with something to say, the skill to say it, and the magnetic power to make you want to listen.”

HANK DAHLMAN Professor of Music, Director of Choral Studies, and Director of Graduate Studies in Music at WSU - and the Director of our own DPO Chorus.

LAWRENCE LEIGHTON SMITH One of the most respected American musicians of his generation, he’s conducted virtually every major orchestra in the nation.

VADIM GLuZMAN Playing that harkens back to the 19th- and 20th-century violinists, with passion and vitality that’s all his own.

DR. EVERETT JONES From a precocious player at age three to composing and performing original works, he embodies the modern definition of musician.

RACHEL BARTON PINE Acclaimed violinist and Chicago native, Barton Pine has earned international respect for her artistry, fabulous sound, and wide-ranging musical tastes.

SARA JOBIN The first woman to conduct mainstage at San Francisco Opera, she’s been hailed for her “crisp, fluid podium technique” and “disarmingly folksy demeanor.”

IAN PARKER Magnetic, easygoing, and delightfully articulate, Ian has captivated audiences across the United States, Europe, Israel, and Canada.

STEPHANIE CHASE A remarkably versatile musician who excels in the virtuoso soloist’s repertoire, period instrument practice, contemporary music, and chamber music.

All concerts start at 8pm with pre-concert talks at 7pm in the mead theatre.

“GRAND SUMMIT”

November Friday 21 & Saturday 22, 2008

SCHuMAN New England Triptych

TCHAIkOVSky Violin Concerto in D major

SCHuMANN Symphony No. 1 in B-flat major

LAWRENCE LEIGHTON SMITH guest conductorVADIM GLuZMAN violin

Composers who exemplify American, Russian and Germanic styles come together here. The colors of Old Glory unfurl in Schuman’s reflection on the historic roots of our nation. Gluzman’s DPO debut brings new piquancy and insight to Tchaikovsky’s masterpiece. Robert Schumann’s first symphony, “Spring,” fairly explodes with vernal passion. Three masters - one monumental program.

“UNIqUELY AMERICAN”

December Thursday 4 & Saturday 6, 2008

STILL Festive OvertureDVORák Symphony No. 7 in D minorSTILL Kaintuck’ Poem for Piano & OrchestraSTILL Symphony No. 1, Afro-American

NEAL GITTLEMAN conductorDR. EVERETT JONES piano

This fine program features one of America’s most distinctive musical voices: William Grant Still. To perform his evocative concerto, we welcome Dr. Jones from Wilberforce. It’s a local connection of great pride. Still’s blues-inflected Symphony No. 1, with movements introduced by Dunbar’s poetry, expresses great spirit. A wealth of ideas also characterizes Dvorák’s glorious Seventh.

“MASTERFUL MAHLER”

February Friday 27 & Saturday 28, 2009

MAHLER Symphony No. 9 in D major

NEAL GITTLEMAN conductor

In January 2007, your Orchestra presented a milestone performance of Mahler’s third symphony that stood head-to-head with the best interpretations anywhere. Now Music Director Gittleman and the DPO will present the epic Ninth. It is the Dayton debut of this seminal 20th century composition. Mahler’s final completed symphony opens with deep tones of soul-wrenching awe and plunges into a sometimes savage, sometimes serene, but always intense psychological landscape. Sign on for this incredible journey.


“COLOR AND CONTRAST”

JaNuary Friday 16 & Saturday 17, 2009

BERLIOz Roman Carnival Overture

CORDERO Concerto for Violin and Orchestra

SIBELIuS Symphony No. 7

SARASATE Carmen Fantasy

NEAL GITTLEMAN conductor RACHEL BARTON PINE violin

Berlioz brings us sparkling orchestral color and rhythm; Cordero, a deeply expressionistic work drawn from his Latin background; Sibelius, a symphonic fantasia of rarified unity; Sarasate, a smoky, passionate homage to Bizet’s Carmen. Soloist Rachel Barton Pine takes on the Cordero concerto and the Sarasate fantasy with equal aplomb.


“STROKES OF BRILLIANCE”

march Friday 20 & Saturday 21, 2009

HINDEMITH Symphonic Metamorphoses of Themes by Carl Maria von Weber

WARD Concerto for Piano and Orchestra

TCHAIkOVSky Symphony No. 4 in F minor

SARA JOBIN guest conductorIAN PARKER piano

Bold strokes, to be sure. Hindemith started with a ballet but ended up with brightly-hued orchestral miniatures. Composer Robert Ward reaches back into the Romantic Era to fashion a concerto of style and charm. Tchaikovsky rebounds from a failed marriage, finds a new patron and prevails with this great symphony, a masterpiece that owes much to and also builds upon Beethoven’s fifth symphony.

“VIVID PASSIONS”

april/may Thursday 30 & Saturday 2, 2009

MOzART La Clemenza di Tito Overture

SHOSTAkOVICH Symphony No. 6 in B minor

BEETHOVEN Violin Concerto in D major

NEAL GITTLEMAN conductorSTEPHANIE CHASE violin

Fans of the romantic violin concerto are in for a fine season. The two all-time greats are on the schedule: Tchaikovsky’s in November and Beethoven’s on this program. Dmitri Shostakovich paints his musical canvas with a wide range of emotion: nobility of spirit, meditation on past sorrows, personal affirmation and of course, rebellion. Mozart’s overture brims with melodic invention.

WAGNER Rienzi Overture

VAuGHAN WILLIAMS Dona nobis pacem

BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 5 in C minor

NEAL GITTLEMAN conductor DPO CHORuS AND GuEST SOLOISTS

Possibly the most uplifting work of music ever penned, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 is the climax of the 2008-2009 season. Heard in the stunning acoustics of the Mead, it’s easy to feel the shock it had on its original audience. Vaughan Williams’ music makes a plea for peace to a world on the brink of war in 1936. Rienzi heralded the start of a musical career that would change the world of music forever.

“APPALACHIAN SOJOURN” MARK O’CONNOR, FIDDLER

october Friday 3 & Saturday 4, 2008

The New York Times reports that his is “one of the most spectacular journeys in recent American music.” The Seattle Times says, simply, “brilliantly original.” Mark O’Connor is an artist with a tradition-filled past, a stellar present and a future of immense promise. His wildly inclusive musical style is rooted equally in folk, jazz and classical. He will pair up with the DPO to perform his own compositions with string ensemble and full orchestra plus some dazzling solo work.

“SIMPLY SINATRA” STEVE LIPPIA, MASTER SONG STYLIST

November Friday 14 & Saturday 15, 2008

There are Sinatra imitators and then there are truly remarkable artists. Steve Lippia is firmly in the latter category. Yes, he captures Ol’ Blue Eyes’ idiosyncratic style, but this program is so much more. Because the orchestral arrangements are so authentic, because Steve’s delivery is so expressive and finely honed, and because there’s really nothing like the live melding of a great voice and a well-led orchestra... this will be an evening to remember.

“THE IRVING BERLIN SONGBOOK” MAUDE MAGGART, VOCALIST

JaNuary Friday 9 & Saturday 10, 2009

Maude Maggart, the cabaret singer who started her performing career in the clubs of New York and Los Angeles, has exploded into one of today’s most compelling international concert artists. She has been hailed as “bewitching” by The New York Times, “stunning” by the Los Angeles Times and “transfixing” by New York Magazine. She will delve into the classic film and broadway songs of Irving Berlin and reveal facets of these tunes you’ve never heard.

“MIGHTY SOUND OF MOTOWN” THE CONTOURS FEATURING SYLVESTER POTTS

may Friday 8 & Saturday 9, 2009

If there is a quintessential Motown frat-house sixties party tune, it has got to be Do You Love Me (Now That I Can Dance). Now, experience the group that started it all: The Contours. In fact, their signature tune swept the nation a second time in the 1987 movie Dirty Dancing and then featured again by The Blues Brothers in their live set! Your Orchestra, and this fantastic group, will present an evening of the Motown smash hits you love the most.

“DOWNTOWN DIVA” PETULA CLARK, POP CULTURE LEGEND

Where does one begin to describe the life of this amazing woman? She started performing as a child, becoming “Britain’s Shirley Temple.” She developed an astounding vocal career both in the UK and in Europe. Then came her breakthrough song “Downtown” followed by 14 more Top 40 hits like “I Know a Place,” “My Love,” “A Sign of the Times,” and “Don’t Sleep in the Subway.” You’ve heard her many times on CD and radio, now you’ll hear her live with your DPO!

All concerts start at 3pm and pre-concert entertainment starts at 2pm.

Every day brings more evidence that proves

how important it is for children to gain an

appreciation for classical music and how that

experience affects their positive view and deeper

understanding of the world around them.

That’s why your Philharmonic is so committed

to bringing classics to kids. It’s also why we

consistently keep the prices so affordable;

so every child in the Miami Valley has the

opportunity to have this experience. Creative

programming, high artistic quality and superior

acoustics are the hallmarks of our family concerts.

This series is recommended for children ages

4 through 12 and their parents, grandparents

and caregivers. It features the most family-

friendly pricing of any Dayton arts series for kids!

All concerts are at 3:00pm - but plan to arrive

early (at 2:00) for pre-concert activities in

the Wintergarden lobby.

CONDuCTORS WHO COMMuNICATE Dayton is blessed with a first-class orchestra. But as important, the conducting staff is strong as well. Neal Gittleman, DPO Music Director (top left), sets the tone as leader, storyteller, musician, teacher, and advocate. Patrick Reynolds, DPO Assistant Conductor (top right), is the educator responsible for building the enviable quality of our fine Youth Orchestra. Along with Gloria Pugh, DPO Education Director, they work together to create the Dayton Philharmonic’s nationally-recognized education programs including, of course, the excellent Philharmonic Family Series.

Kids learn in many ways. Sometimes, it helps to present the music along with associative experiences. We help personalize the classical experience by focusing on the relationships to popular culture, personalities and even sheer physicality, such as the Cirque de la Symphonie show.

april Saturday 4, 2009 at 7 PM

J.S. BACH St. John Passion at Westminster Presbyterian


J.S. Bach’s monumental Johannes-Passion (St. John Passion, BWV 245) is one of just two surviving Bach Passion works out of an original four or five. Think of it as a form of musical Passion Play that tells the story of the arrest, trial, and crucifixion of Jesus. The work uses Christ’s recitations as well as those of Peter and Pontius Pilate, and solos, to comment on the emotional and spiritual meaning of the events described in the Bible. The DPO welcomes the Chamber Choir and guest soloists for this performance.

“HANDEL’S MESSIAH”

December Saturday 13, 2008 at 7 PM

HANDEL Messiah at Westminster Presbyterian


The DPO Chamber Choir plus guest vocalists join the DPO in a presentation of the most beloved oratorio of all time, Handel’s beautiful statement of faith, Messiah. Despite Handel’s fame as London’s leading musical personality, Messiah premiered in Dublin, Ireland in 1742... to tremendous acclaim. The Dublin Journal gushed, “The Sublime, the Grand, and the Tender, adapted to the most elevated, majestick and moving Words, conspired to transport and charm the ravished Heart and Ear.”
