MAHLER’S RESURRECTIONIwona Sobotka, soprano Magdalena Wór, mezzo-soprano Piotr Gajewski, conductor

The late Washington composer Andreas Makris reflects on his Greek origins in the Aegean Festival Overture, which blends classic form and folklore elements. The rarely performed A Sorrowful Tale by Polish composer Mieczyslaw Karlowicz (1876-1909) is a somber symphonic tone poem offset by recollections of happier times. Finally, one of Mahler’s most popular works, Symphony No. 2, presents the compos-er’s meditations on afterlife and resurrection.

October 23 & 24, 2010

DVOR̆ÁK’S NEW WORLD SYMPHONYZuill Bailey, cello Piotr Gajewski, conductor

Among Dvor̆ák’s most beloved works are two he wrote while in America: the Cello Concerto and Symphony No. 9, popularly known as the New World Symphony. The concerto allows Zuill Bailey, one of the pre-eminent cellists of his generation, to display his compelling artistry and technical expertise. Dvor̆ák maintained that he wrote Symphony No. 9 “in the spirit” of Na-tive American music, but it also combines many multinational sources, including the folk music of the composer’s native Bohemia.

BERLIOZ’S REQUIEM Robert Breault, tenor Stan Engebretson, conductor

Berlioz’s magnificent Requiem (Grande Messe des Morts), written in 1837 to remember the soldiers who died in the July 1830 Revolution that overthrew King Charles X of France, involves a massive orchestra and chorus as well as four antiphonal brass ensembles. The Requiem was Berlioz’s favorite work. He wrote to a friend, “If I were threatened with the destruction of the whole of my works save one, I should crave mercy for the Messe des Morts.”

December 11 & 12, 2010

HANDEL’S MESSIAHAudrey Elizabeth Luna, soprano Yvette Smith, mezzo-soprano Don Bernardini, tenor Christòpheren Nomura, baritone Stan Engebretson, conductor

Handel’s monumental Messiah has become synonymous with Christmas celebrations, yet has long been revered by people of all faiths. Since its premiere in 1742, it has held an unparalleled position in the classical music repertory as one of the most popular pieces ever composed. Join the National Philharmonic Chorale and a superb cast of soloists to experi-ence this epic musical depiction of the human experience during the holiday season.

January 8 & 9, 2011

CHEE-YUN PLAYS VIVALDI’S FOUR SEASONSChee-Yun, violin Piotr Gajewski, conductor

This concert features the engaging and elegant violinist Chee-Yun and pairs two remarkable works for string orchestra. Composed in 1723, Vivaldi’s most famous work, The Four Seasons, is a set of four violin concertos, each depicting one of the seasons. Tchaikovsky’s perennially beloved Serenade for Strings, composed in 1880, stands as one of the Romantic era’s most admired works.

February 12 & 13, 2011

ALL MOZARTChristopher Taylor, piano Danielle Talamantes, soprano Linda Maguire, mezzo-soprano Robert Baker, tenor Christòpheren Nomura, baritone Piotr Gajewski, conductor

Featuring trumpets and horns with fine melodies and fanfares, Mozart’s Symphony No. 20 reflects the young composer’s immer-sion with the world of opera. Mozart’s brilliant and festive Piano Concerto No. 26 was per-formed at the coronation of Leopold II as Holy Roman Emperor. The Coronation Mass is a short celebratory work, featuring music of pageantry.

GRIEG PIANO CONCERTO WITH BRIAN GANZBrian Ganz, piano Piotr Gajewski, conductor

The Norwegian composer Grieg was the last representative of 19th century nationalistic Romanticism. His vivacious Wedding Day at Troldhaugen is a recollection of his 25th wedding anniversary. Filled with passionate melodies and harmonic vitality, Grieg’s only piano concerto is among the most popular in the repertory. The early 20th century Finnish composer, Sibelius, forged an independent path for himself with his strong, heroic Symphony No. 2. This work demonstrates great boldness and individuality, yet is also infused with a dark, brooding and characteristically Nordic quality.

April 2 & 3, 2011

ALL BEETHOVENSeymour Lipkin, piano Piotr Gajewski, conductor

This all-Beethoven program begins with the powerful Coriolan Overture, written to accompany Viennese playwright Heinrich Joseph von Collin’s tragedy Coriolan. The enormously difficult Piano Concerto No. 4 is performed by the great pianist Seymour Lipkin, currently on the faculties of both the Juilliard School and the Curtis Institute of Music. Wagner described Beethoven’s celebratory Symphony No. 7 as “all tumult, all yearning and storming of the heart ….”

BACH AND MOZARTMark Hill, oboe Elena Urioste, violin Piotr Gajewski, conductor

Bach’s charming Orchestral Suite No. 3 consists of stylized dance movements. Beginning with a long, vigorous and powerful overture, this work features the famous Air on the G String. Mozart’s Oboe Concerto highlights the soloist while also giving an almost equal voice to the orchestral accompaniment. Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 4, performed by Elena Urioste, who was selected by Symphony Magazine as the emerging artist to watch, offers the listener various charms and delights with its richness of ideas and subtle wit. The concert concludes with Bach’s Concerto for Oboe and Violin, a work that beautifully contrasts the two solo instruments.

VERDI’S REQUIEMArianna Zukerman, soprano Patricia Miller, mezzo-soprano Don Bernardini, tenor Kevin Deas, bass Stan Engebretson, conductor

In 1874, Verdi composed this brilliant, theatrical Requiem as a memorial to his close friend, Alessandro Manzoni, whose novel, I Promessi Sposi (The Betrothed) was a powerful force in the unification of Italy. Verdi conceived the Requiem as a patriotic act celebrating the Italian republic. The music of the Requiem covers the range of human emotions from terror, shame and sadness to hope and exaltation.

ALL TCHAIKOVSKYSoovin Kim, violin Piotr Gajewski, conductor

Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto eclipsed all others in popularity with its agile tour-de-force quali-ties, although initially it was declared unplayable because of its technical challenges. It is char-acterized by melodious themes and acrobatic demonstrations of virtuosity. In his Symphony No. 5, Tchaikovsky used a new technique, moving a theme of fate and resignation forward from one movement to another.

Special preSentation January 22, 2011

BRIAN GANZ CHOPIN PIANO RECITALPianist Brian Ganz, prizewinner in the Queen Elisabeth of Belgium and the Marguerite Long Jacques Thibaud (Paris) International Piano Competitions, will perform the lush music of the Polish Romantic composer Fryderyk Chopin in this inaugural recital of a multi-year project in which he will play the composer’s complete works. The recital will include the first works Chopin ever composed (a pair of polonaises, at age 7), an early waltz and mazurka, and the rarely heard Rondo in C minor, Op. 1, written when he was 15. Mr. Ganz will also play such beloved favorites as the second scherzo, the Polonaise in A flat (“Heroic”) and the great “Funeral March” sonata.

The Washington Post has written: “There isn’t much about Chopin that Brian Ganz doesn’t know. The pianist has explored the nocturnes, the etudes, the sonatas and concertos and the rest in concerts, master classes and recordings for years now. His delight and wonder in this music seems to grow, apparently without bounds, as time goes on.” Come share the wonder!
