ELCOME TO ATB FINANCIAL SYMPHONY IN THE CITY!

I think theres a very good chance Im speaking to two very different kinds of patrons for this unique and special weekend. Firstly, theres our fiercely loyal Edmonton Symphony audience the ones who make our regular Symphony Under the Sky festival one of the most enjoyable dates on my calendar year after year, the ones who love great music in the great outdoors, and who are looking forward to once again welcoming your orchestra to a fabulous and scenic spot in Edmontons great outdoors.

But because Symphony in the City is also three FREE evenings of great entertainment, I hope that many of you reading this are here seeing the amazing musicians of your Edmonton Symphony Orchestra for the first time. The ESO is one of many treasured and important cultural institutions in which this community should take enormous pride, and youre about to find out why. I hope youll look through the rest of this program, and get

to know your amazing orchestra a little better.And what can I say about the music? Two nights

of the magical, generation-spanning music from so many classic Disney film scores then we finish off under the High Level Bridge, with another beloved Edmonton ensemble, the McDades, adding their Celtic edge to the music of the ESO. Having Light Up the Bridge and Tchaikovskys 1812 Overture is the ultimate cherry on top!

My wife Nora and I are thrilled to be back mak-ing music with all of these wonderful musicians, and to share it with you. And congratulations to Edmonton for hosting the 2014 Transcanada Corp. International Triathlon down at the ESOs usual Labour Day venue, Hawrelak Park. We look forward to being back next year, but for now, lets get this thing started!

SYMPHONY IN THE CITY www.EdmontonSymphony.com6

OOUR CONDUCTOR ROBERT BERNHARDT brings a unique perspective and ability each time he is on the podium, and in every genre. He is currently Principal Pops Conductor with the Chattanooga Symphony and Opera (where he was Music Director for 19 seasons) and is in his 18th season as Principal Pops Conductor of the Louisville Orchestra (and in his 33rd consecutive season there). Formerly, he was Principal Conductor of the Rochester Philharmonic, Music Director and Conductor of the Tucson Symphony, Principal Guest Conductor of Kentucky Opera, Music Director and Conductor of the Amarillo Symphony, and Artistic Director of the Lake Placid Sinfonietta.

The 2012-13 season marked Mr. Bernhardts 20th anniversary with the Boston Pops, which he first conducted at John Williams invitation in 1992. He has also been a frequent guest conductor of the Baltimore Symphony, the Detroit Symphony, the Dallas Symphony, the Cincinnati Pops, the Seattle Symphony, the Pittsburgh Symphony, the Houston Symphony, the Tucson Symphony, the Santa Barbara Symphony, the Louisiana Philharmonic, and the Pacific Symphony. He has been a guest conductor with many others. A lover of opera, he conducted productions with Kentucky Opera for 18 consecutive seasons, and for 19 seasons with his own company in Chattanooga, as well as many guest conducting engagements with the Nashville Opera. He received his masters degree with honours from the University of Southern Californias School of Music, studying primarily with Daniel Lewis. He received his bachelor of fine arts degree from Union College in Schenectady, NY, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa, summa cum laude, and an Academic All-American baseball player. He and his wife, Nora, both dog lovers, live in Signal Mountain, Tennessee, with their rescued cat, Shoogie.

Since making his ESO debut in May 2006, Bob Bernhardt has become a favourite with the orchestra and its audiences. 2014 marks his ninth consecutive season leading the ESO at its outdoor festivals, and he frequently conducts performances in ESO subscription series concerts and specials. He will conduct the Robbins Pops performances on October 31 and November 1.

Chaka Khan, Teena Marie, and Stephen Schwartz. She has also had the honour to sing the National Anthem for the LA Kings (twice!), The Boston Celtics, and the Texas Rangers! Outside of performing, Arielle founded The Girls Camaraderie Project, a non-profit organization that inspires camaraderie and community, instead of competition, among middle-school girls.

NDREW JOHNSON is a Disney kid at heart and is humbled and honoured to

share the music and magic from the stage! He has toured all over the United States, Europe, and Asia, as a lead vocalist and dancer, and his performances have been broadcast on national and international television. You can currently catch him as a background vocalist and dancer on FOXs The X Factor. He most recently performed on The Conan OBrien Show in the comedy spoof Broadway Rap Musicals: Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, & Vanilla Ice and performed with Florence and the Machine at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. His other theatrical credits include Rent (Benny), Five Guys Named Moe (Four-Eyed Moe), Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (Joseph, Asher), Godspell (Jesus), and Pippin (Lead Player). Andrew has shared the stage with singers/actresses Shirley Jones and Bernadette Peters, and has performed live duets with recording artists Patti LaBelle and Erykah Badu and singer/actress Jodi Benson (the original voice of Ariel in The

Little Mermaid). He just recently released his new EP on iTunes entitled Elevation, under his artist name Drew Michael. He would like to thank his family for their unconditional love and support and Ted Ricketts for the opportunity of being part of this show.

ARON PHILLIPS is very excited to be part of this wonderful production. Aaron is an

Ovation Award-nominated actor/singer, proud member of Actors Equity, and can frequently be seen on film and TV. Past theatre credits include: Jekyll and Hyde (John Utterson), Batboy: The Musical (Batboy/Edgar), Songs for a New World, and Les Misrables (Foreman/Combeferre). Opera credits include: La Bohme with the Greensboro Opera Company, conducted by Valery Ryvkin, Pirates of Penzance (Pirate King) and Lakm (Frederic) by Dlibes. Aaron recently appeared in a staged reading of The Bone Wars (OConner) with the prestigious New York playwright group, Youngbloods. You may have seen Aaron as Carl, half of the duo that is the face of Lipton Iced Tea. He is also an accomplished voice-over talent and can be heard in video games such as World of Warcraft, Grand Theft Auto V, Red Dead Redemption, and Lord of the Rings. He is a man of many voices for commercials, cartoons, and music sessions everywhere. Aaron has been a Disney fan his entire life, and is happy to help bring this music to fans of all ages.

At the heart of the group are siblings Shannon, Solon, and Jeremiah, who grew up playing Canadian folk music alongside their parents and among artists from around the world, a unique upbringing that led to a love and respect for all music. Their groundbreaking compositions and innovative arrangements are characterized by stunning virtuosity and a near-telepathic interaction on stage.

CELTIC COLOURS WITH THE MCDADES

The siblings are joined by Montral musicians Simon Marion and Eric Breton. The musical diversity of this tight five-piece celebrates the very idea of what it means to be a Canadian musician. The McDades were winners of the 2007 Juno Award for Best Group Roots/Traditional

Album, the 2007 Independent Music Award for Best World Album Traditional, and winners of the 2006 Canadian Folk Music Award for Best World Group and Best Instrumental Group. This past June, Solon and Jeremiah McDade received distinguished alumni awards from Grant MacEwan University. With vocal harmonies that can only come from a family, and an obvious love for each other and their music, The McDades sound is immersed in the spirit of improvisation. Featuring both energetic instrumentals and sensitive vocals performed in English and French, this compelling and dynamic group find their groove somewhere between a down-home kitchen party, a jazzy after hours club, and a folk festival.

The McDades last appeared with the ESO in December 2012.

Were delighted that Symphony in the City, presented by ATB Financial, has provided us with an opportunity to make new friends, and expose hundreds of people in our community to the beauty and fun of live, orchestral music.Some things you might not know about the ESO: Both the ESO and the Winspear Centre are not-for-profit arts organizations administered by a volunteer board of dedicated community leaders. Each year, the ESO performs about 85 concerts from classical to rock and everything in between. In addition, the orchestra accompanies perfor-mances by Edmonton Opera and Alberta Ballet. As part of its mandate, the ESO is a community

leader in music education and outreach. Nearly all of the members of the ESO also teach music throughout the capital region, whether privately or through institutions such as the University of Alberta, Grant MacEwan University, and elsewhere.

Each year, the orchestras Education Concerts series presents entertaining and engaging concerts tailored to specific age ranges and programmed to tie in to appropriate education curricula, for nearly 30,000 students from all over northern Alberta.

Tickets sales to ESO performances make up only a fraction of the costs needed to keep the ESO a vibrant and important part of the citys rich cultural mosaic. We rely on the generosity of government funders, corporate support and private donations from thousands of your fellow residents of the Edmonton area.
