Neal’s Notes 2019–2020 The Things That Really Matter

“Programs and artists subject to change.” Music is powerful. It’s powerful because it Language that every performing arts speaks directly to our hearts, to our emotions, organization puts somewhere in its promotional to our souls. Music can’t keep guns out of the materials (usually in very small type). hands of angry, troubled people. But hearing music—especially in public, with other We say that because you never know. Guest people—can help us deal with tragedy. It can artists get sick. Or they get another offer inspire. It can be cathartic. It can heal. they literally can’t refuse. Or it snows.

Here’s what Lenny unusually difficult piece of music. said: “We musicians, like everyone else, are numb with sorrow at this murder, and with We live in the real world. And sometimes the rage at the senselessness of the crime. But this real world makes us change our plans. The sorrow and rage will not inflame us to seek Philharmonic’s Masterworks Series concert of retribution; rather they will inflame our art. March 27 and 28 is the latest example. Our music will never again be quite the same. How do we onstage respond—as artists—to This will be our reply to violence: to make tragic events in the real world?

Amer- ican musical icons Leonard Bernstein and Aaron Copland shared the stage of the Schuster with Dayton’s premiere composer Steven Winteregg. Winteregg, commissioned by the Philharmonic to write a “serious piece,” chose the most somber of themes, the battle with cancer. Dedicated to his lovely wife Candy and her treatment and survival from breast cancer, the music was compelling but far from glum. Winteregg has an ability with melodic line and intricate rhythms making his music persuasive and delightful. We are fortunate in Dayton to have heard his music from the Philharmonic and Dayton Ballet. Resolution, beautifully played by the musicians of the Philharmonic was full of energy and emotion. There were, perhaps a few too many percussion interrup- t i o n s with the musical line, but the total effect was well received. Bernstein’s Serenade after Plato’s Symposium was a first hearing for the audience. I was certain that the piece would be like several other of Bernstein’s classical works, a wandering opus lacking the focus of his lighter compositions. After hearing Serenade, I owe “Lennie” a profound apology. The work was conceived to be an exposition of Plato’s familiar student assignment, The Symposium. It is remembered as a wine-sodden discussion on the various phases of love by convivial philosophers. Serenade succeeded, not as philosophic guide, but as a stunning piece of music, a violin sonata with orchestral accompaniment. Each of the five parts was full of musical nuances and expressions. Each of these nuances and expressions was presented to perfection by young violinist Philippe Quint and the master musicians of the Philharmonic. Included was a remarkable double cadenza by Quint and Principal Cellist Christina Coletta.. Quint, a The Oakwood Register Applauding The Arts Weekly with Burt Saidel

7 8 David L. Pierson Young Musicians Concerto Competition

Preparing to perform a concerto is no easy feat, especially for young musicians relatively early in their instrumental studies. Each spring, the Dayton Philharmonic hosts a concerto competition to celebrate the hard work of talented local students. The David L. Pierson Young Musicians Concerto Competition is for students currently in 9th through 11th grades. A panel of three judges selects three finalists, and then Dayton Philharmonic Artistic Director and Conductor Neal Gittleman selects the winner. The three finalists receive cash prizes, and the winner has an opportunity to perform a movement from their concerto with the Dayton Philharmonic at a Young People’s Concert.

The 2019–2020 winner of the Concerto Competition was 16-year-old Daniel Dorsey, a cellist from St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati. Daniel is a student of Dr. Sarah Kim, Executive Director of the Cincinnati Young Artists. He is a current member of the Cincinnati Symphony Youth Orchestra Philharmonic and the Nouveau Chamber Players. He was the winner of the Ohio Music Teachers Association (OMEA) Southwest Strings Division in 2018.

In addition to performing on our Young People’s Concert this past October, Mr. Gittleman also invited Daniel to be a featured soloist on the Philharmonic’s Stained Glass series. All Stained Glass concerts are free and open to the public and celebrate the human spirit through the universal medium of music. Visit DPAA’s website to find out the remaining performance dates this spring: https://daytonperformingarts.org/philharmonic/stained-glass-series. Stained Glass concerts are generously presented by Bob Ross Auto Group.

This season’s competition will take place on Saturday, May 16, 2020, at Wright State University. For more information about this year’s competition, visit our website at https://daytonperformingarts.org/education/for-students/competitions.

Thank you to the Dayton Philharmonic Volunteer Association for providing funding for the competition’s cash prizes and for providing volunteers to assist with the competition day.
