Johnsonk@Nyphil.Org FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE UPDATED July 2, 2013 April 24, 2013 Contact: Katherine E. Johnson (212) 875-5718; [email protected] NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC TO RETURN TO BRAVO! VAIL FOR 11th-ANNUAL SUMMER RESIDENCY, JULY 19–26, 2013 Music Director Alan Gilbert To Lead Two Programs in Vail Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, Ted Sperling, and Bramwell Tovey Also To Conduct the Orchestra Soloists To Include Violinists Augustin Hadelich and Gil Shaham, Pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Principal Cello Carter Brey, Principal Trombone Joseph Alessi, and Vocalists Betsy Wolfe and Andrew Samonsky The New York Philharmonic will return to Bravo! Vail in Colorado for the Orchestra’s 11th- annual summer residency there, performing six concerts July 19–26, 2013. Music Director Alan Gilbert will conduct two programs, July 19 and 21, leading works by Dvořák, Tchaikovsky, Ravel, Liszt, and Rimsky-Korsakov. Additional concerts will be led by conductors Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos (July 20), Ted Sperling (July 24), and Bramwell Tovey (July 25–26), in works by Lalo, Berlioz, Gershwin, Bernstein, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Copland, Bramwell Tovey, Dvořák, John Adams, Sibelius, and Holst, among others. The Orchestra’s residency will feature appearances by violinists Augustin Hadelich and Gil Shaham, pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Philharmonic Principal Cello Carter Brey and Principal Trombone Joseph Alessi, and vocalists Betsy Wolfe and Andrew Samonsky. The New York Philharmonic has performed at Bravo! Vail each summer since 2003. “Last summer I discovered that Bravo! Vail is a magical setting for the New York Philharmonic’s performances — no wonder Alan and our musicians love coming here every summer,” said Philharmonic Executive Director Matthew VanBesien. “The Philharmonic looks forward to deepening our collaboration with Anne-Marie McDermott and now with Jim Palermo as he fully takes the reins of this engaging and ambitious festival. During the Orchestra’s 11th residency at our summer home-away-from-home we are offering an unusually wide range of programs, showing to our good friends in Colorado the New York Philharmonic’s versatility as well as mastery.” Music Director Alan Gilbert will launch the Philharmonic’s 2013 residency with an opening night concert on Friday, July 19, 2013, featuring Dvořák’s Cello Concerto, with Principal Cello Carter Brey as soloist, and Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5. Alan Gilbert will also conduct the program on Sunday, July 21, leading Ravel’s Alborada del gracioso; Liszt’s Totentanz, with (more) 2013 Bravo! Vail Residency / 2 pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet as soloist; and Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, featuring Concertmaster Glenn Dicterow in his final Philharmonic appearance at the festival. On Saturday, July 20, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos will conduct Lalo’s Symphonie espagnole, featuring Augustin Hadelich as soloist, and Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique. Mr. Hadelich made his critically acclaimed Philharmonic debut at Bravo! Vail in July 2010, when he replaced a soloist who fell ill. Praising the performance, The Denver Post said that Mr. Hadelich “easily confirmed his place on the shortlist of today’s top violin virtuosos.” Bramwell Tovey will return for his tenth summer with the New York Philharmonic at Vail to conduct two programs. The first, Thursday, July 25, will feature Copland’s Four Dance Episodes from Rodeo; Mr. Tovey’s The Lincoln Tunnel Cabaret, with Principal Trombone Joseph Alessi as soloist; and Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8. The next evening, Friday, July 26, Mr. Tovey will lead John Adams’s Short Ride in a Fast Machine; Sibelius’s Violin Concerto, featuring violinist Gil Shaham; and Holst’s The Planets, featuring Women of the Evans Choir, Catherine Sailer, director. Ted Sperling will conduct Broadway Night with the Philharmonic, Wednesday, July 24. The program will feature vocalists Betsy Wolfe and Andrew Samonsky singing songs from popular musicals ranging from Bernstein’s West Side Story and Gershwin’s Girl Crazy to Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Carousel and Stephen Sondheim’s Company, woven together to tell a unified narrative of a romance from beginning to end. Bravo! Vail was founded by John Giovando and violinist Ida Kavafian. Its artistic director since 2011 is pianist Anne-Marie McDermott, and James Palermo is now its executive director. All of the New York Philharmonic concerts will be performed in the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater and will start at 6:00 p.m. About the Artists Music Director Alan Gilbert began his tenure at the New York Philharmonic in September 2009, launching what New York magazine called “a fresh future for the Philharmonic.” The first native New Yorker in the post, he has introduced the positions of The Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence and The Mary and James G. Wallach Artist-in-Residence, an annual multi-week festival, and CONTACT!, the new-music series, and he has sought to make the Orchestra a point of civic pride for the city and country. In 2012–13, Alan Gilbert conducts world premieres; presides over a cycle of Brahms’s complete symphonies and concertos; leads the EUROPE / SPRING 2013 tour; and continues The Nielsen Project, the multiyear initiative to perform and record the Danish composer’s symphonies and concertos, the first release of which was named by The New York Times as among the Best Classical Music Recordings of 2012. The season concludes with Gilbert’s Playlist, four programs showcasing themes he has introduced, including the season finale: a theatrical reimagining of Stravinsky ballets with director/designer Doug Fitch and New York (more) 2013 Bravo! Vail Residency / 3 City Ballet Principal Dancer Sara Mearns. Last season’s highlights included tours of Europe and California, several world premieres, Mahler symphonies, and Philharmonic 360, the Philharmonic and Park Avenue Armory’s acclaimed spatial-music program featuring Stockhausen’s Gruppen, about which The New York Times said: “Those who think classical music needs some shaking up routinely challenge music directors at major orchestras to think outside the box. That is precisely what Alan Gilbert did.” Mr. Gilbert is Director of Conducting and Orchestral Studies and holds the William Schuman Chair in Musical Studies at The Juilliard School. Conductor Laureate of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and Principal Guest Conductor of Hamburg’s NDR Symphony Orchestra, he regularly conducts leading orchestras around the world. He made his acclaimed Metropolitan Opera debut conducting John Adams’s Doctor Atomic in 2008, the DVD of which received a Grammy Award. Renée Fleming’s recent Decca recording Poèmes, on which he conducted, received a 2013 Grammy Award. In May 2010 Mr. Gilbert received an Honorary Doctor of Music degree from The Curtis Institute of Music and in December 2011, Columbia University’s Ditson Conductor’s Award for his “exceptional commitment to the performance of works by American composers and to contemporary music.” A regular guest with North America’s top orchestras, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos conducts the orchestras of Boston, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Montreal, Cincinnati, and St. Louis in the 2012–13 season. He appears annually at the Tanglewood music festival and regularly with The Philadelphia Orchestra and the National, Chicago, and Toronto symphony orchestras. Born in Burgos, Spain, Mr. Frühbeck studied violin, piano, music theory, and composition at the conservatories in Bilbao and Madrid and conducting at Munich’s Hochschule für Musik, where he graduated summa cum laude and was awarded the Richard Strauss Prize. From 2004 to 2011 he was chief conductor and artistic director of the Dresden Philharmonic, and in 2012 he begins his post as chief conductor of the Danish National Orchestra. He has made extensive tours with the Philharmonia of London, London Symphony Orchestra, National Orchestra of Madrid, and Swedish Radio Orchestra. He has toured North America with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, Spanish National Orchestra, and the Dresden Philharmonic. In 2011 Mr. Frühbeck was named Conductor of the Year by Musical America. He has received the Gold Medal of the City of Vienna, Bundesverdienstkreuz of the Republic of Austria and Germany, Gold Medal from the Gustav Mahler International Society, and Jacinto Guerrero Prize, Spain’s most important musical award. He received an honorary doctorate from the University of Navarra in Spain and has been a member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando since 1975. Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos has recorded for the EMI, Decca, Deutsche Gramophone, Spanish Columbia, and Orfeo labels. Several of his recordings are considered classics, including his interpretations of Mendelssohn’s Elijah and St. Paul, Mozart’s Requiem, Orff’s Carmina burana, Bizet’s Carmen, and the complete works of Manual de Falla. He most recently appeared (more) 2013 Bravo! Vail Residency / 4 with the Philharmonic in October 2012, conducting two programs featuring works by Lalo, Berlioz, Mozart, and Mahler. Ted Sperling is a conductor, music director, arranger, singer, pianist, and violinist. He was music director and conductor of the first Broadway revival of South Pacific, which won seven 2008 Tony Awards and played to sold-out houses at Lincoln Center Theater. In 2005 he won Tony and Drama Desk Awards (with Adam Guettel and Bruce Coughlin) for his orchestrations of The Light in the Piazza, for which he was also music director.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS from the LEADERSHIP
    ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS FROM THE LEADERSHIP The New York Philharmonic’s 2019–20 season certainly saw it all. We recall the remarkable performances ranging from Berlioz to Beethoven, with special pride in the launch of Project 19 — the single largest commissioning program ever created for women composers — honoring the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Together with Lincoln Center we unveiled specific plans for the renovation and re-opening of David Geffen Hall, which will have both great acoustics and also public spaces that can welcome the community. In March came the shock of a worldwide pandemic hurtling down the tracks at us, and on the 10th we played what was to be our final concert of the season. Like all New Yorkers, we tried to come to grips with the life-changing ramifications The Philharmonic responded quickly and in one week created NY Phil Plays On, a portal to hundreds of hours of past performances, to offer joy, pleasure, solace, and comfort in the only way we could. In August we launched NY Phil Bandwagon, bringing live music back to New York. Bandwagon presented 81 concerts from Chris Lee midtown to the far reaches of every one of the five boroughs. In the wake of the Erin Baiano horrific deaths of Black men and women, and the realization that we must all participate to change society, we began the hard work of self-evaluation to create a Philharmonic that is truly equitable, diverse, and inclusive. The severe financial challenge caused by cancelling fully a third of our 2019–20 concerts resulting in the loss of $10 million is obvious.

  • Joyce Yang Piano Blessed With
    Joyce Yang Piano Blessed with “poetic and sensitive pianism” (Washington Post) and a “wondrous sense of color” (San Francisco Classical Voice), pianist Joyce Yang captivates audiences with her virtuosity, lyricism, and interpretive sensitivity. As a Van Cliburn International Piano Competition silver medalist and Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient, Yang showcases her colorful musical personality in solo recitals and collaborations with the world’s top orchestras and chamber musicians. Yang came to international attention in 2005 when she won the silver medal at the 12th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. The youngest contestant at 19 years old, she took home two additional awards: the Steven De Groote Memorial Award for Best Performance of Chamber Music (with the Takàcs Quartet) and the Beverley Taylor Smith Award for Best Performance of a New Work. Since her spectacular debut, she has blossomed into an “astonishing artist” (Neue Zürcher Zeitung). She has performed as soloist with the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, the Baltimore, Detroit, Houston, Milwaukee, San Francisco, Sydney, and Toronto symphony orchestras, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, and the BBC Philharmonic (among many others), working with such distinguished conductors as Edo de Waart, Lorin Maazel, James Conlon, Leonard Slatkin, David Robertson, Bramwell Tovey, Peter Oundjian, and Jaap van Zweden. In recital, Yang has taken the stage at New York’s Lincoln Center and Metropolitan Museum; the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC; Chicago’s Symphony Hall; and Zurich’s Tonhalle. Yang kicks off the 2015/16 season with a tour of eight summer festivals (Aspen, Bridgehampton, Grand Tetons, La Jolla, Ravinia, Seattle, Southeastern Piano Festival, and Bravo! Vail) before commencing a steady stream of debuts, return engagements, and notable chamber music concerts.
