Berkeley Symphony, 1942 University Ave., Ste. 207, Berkeley, CA 94704 510.841.2800 • Fax: 510.841.5422 E-mail: [email protected] Web site: www.berkeleysymphony.org To advertise: 510.652.3879 February 6, 2014 3 4 February 6, 2014 Message from the Music Director Dear Friends, I hope the New Year is bringing you much joy, health and wonderful music. Speaking of wonderful music, I am most excited about our program tonight and am incredibly proud to present our second commission of the season, a violin concerto by Samuel Adams. It has been a joy to work with Sam and to photo by Rodrigo de Souza get to know his music more and more. He is bursting with talent and craft and his music consistently delivers—in the words of others—“a personal voice and keen imagination.” Anthony Marwood, an amazing violinist whom I met years ago, joins us as soloist. I was simply astonished at his playing when he championed another violin concerto, Thomas Adès’ Concentric Paths. We start our concert with a piece that many hail as the very first symbol of neoclassicism (in music), the suite from Pulcinella by Igor Stravinsky. A beautiful homage to the music of the early eighteenth century, it borrows some musical material from the past and transforms it in the most imaginative ways of the modern Stravinsky. We end the evening with—I am convinced—one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, Mendelssohn’s “Scottish Symphony.” Mendelssohn started writing this wonderful piece in 1829, at the young age of 20, and completed it years later (at the still very young age of 33). It makes sense then, to pay homage tonight to young genius, invention and respect for the great music of the past, now reinvented. After all, isn’t that what Berkeley Symphony is about? I wish you a great night and am always so thankful for your support. Joana Carneiro February 6, 2014 5 6 February 6, 2014 Message from the Executive Director Greetings in the New Year! . and welcome to tonight’s performance. It is an exciting time for Berkeley Symphony and our various creative partners. Last weekend, photo by Marshall Berman we had the opportunity to perform with the legendary Martha Graham Dance Company as part of our on-going partnership with Cal Performances. This past Sunday, in the first program of our 2014 Under Construction New Music Series, we inaugurated our newest collaboration with EarShot and the American Composers Orchestra, performing works by four emerging composers chosen from across the country. At the end of this month, we celebrate our long-established partnership with the Berkeley Unified School District at our annual Music in the Schools Luncheon. On March 16, we continue our most recent collaboration with the Piedmont Center for the Arts, presenting our next Berkeley Symphony & Friends chamber music concert. It is indeed gratifying to be such an integral part of the rich cultural fabric of our community. Tonight we are thrilled to be able to share with you the world premiere of Sam Adams’ Violin Concerto, which Berkeley Symphony commissioned. As a direct result of the generous donations we receive from you, our loyal patrons, we are able to make evenings like this possible. With your help, we will continue to introduce the work of the next generation of composers. You play an important role in the continued success of Berkeley Symphony, and in that way, you are our most treasured creative partner. As we enter into this new year, I want to reiterate how much your friendship and your commitment mean to Berkeley Symphony. On behalf of the musicians and our Board of Directors, I extend our gratitude and very best wishes throughout 2014.

  • John Mackey's Concerto for Soprano Sax and Wind Ensemble
    JOHN MACKEY’S CONCERTO FOR SOPRANO SAX AND WIND ENSEMBLE (2007): AN ANALYSIS AND CONDUCTOR’S GUIDE TO PERFORMANCE by JACOB EDWARD WALLACE (Under the Direction of John P. Lynch) ABSTRACT John Mackey is an important young American composer. A student of Pulitzer Prize– winning American composer John Corigliano, Mackey has written works for groups ranging from small chamber ensembles to symphony orchestra. He has become, recently, an important figure in composing new works for wind band. Of these, one of his most significant works is his 2007 composition Concerto for Soprano Sax and Wind Ensemble. This document serves as a comprehensive guide to the conductor for this work. It contains a historical background about John Mackey and the piece itself, an original and comprehensive musical analysis, and pedagogical advice for performing the work from the perspective of a conductor. Its intent is to provide conductors with the necessary tools to perform the work. These include an understanding of its genesis and commissioning and perception of difficulties presented to the ensemble in performance of the work. A comprehensive analysis of the work allows the reader to see the importance of shared motives and quotations from Corigliano’s Clarinet Concerto as well as understand the modern tonal language used regularly by Mackey. Appendices detail conversations between the author of the document and Mackey, extended techniques for the soloist, the composer’s notes on the piece, and a catalogue of the composer’s works for wind band.

  • THE ART of CARLOS KLEIBER Carolyn Watson Thesis Submitted In
    GESTURE AS COMMUNICATION: THE ART OF CARLOS KLEIBER Carolyn Watson Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Conservatorium of Music University of Sydney May 2012 Statement of Originality I declare that the research presented here is my own original work and has not been submitted to any other institution for the award of a degree. Signed: Carolyn Watson Date: ii Abstract This thesis focuses on the art of orchestral conducting and in particular, the gestural language used by conductors. Aspects such as body posture and movement, eye contact, facial expressions and manual conducting gestures will be considered. These nonverbal forms of expression are the means a conductor uses to communicate with players. Manual conducting gestures are used to show fundamental technical information relating to tempo, dynamics and cues, as well as demonstrating to a degree, musical expression and conveying an interpretation of the musical work. Body posture can communicate authority, leadership, confidence and inspiration. Furthermore, physical gestures such as facial expressions can express a conductor’s mood and demeanour, as well as the emotional content of the music. Orchestral conducting is thus a complex and multifarious art, at the core of which is gesture. These physical facets of conducting will be examined by way of a case study. The conductor chosen as the centrepiece of this study is Austrian conductor, Carlos Kleiber (1930-2004). Hailed by many as the greatest conductor of all time1, Kleiber was a perfectionist with unscrupulously high standards who enjoyed a career with some of the world’s finest orchestras and opera companies including the Vienna Philharmonic, La Scala, Covent Garden, the Met and the Chicago Symphony.

Embarking on its third season in December 2016, SoundBox welcomes culturally-adventurous listeners to evenings of eclectic musical exploration and discovery in an out-of-the-box setting.

The concerts are programmed by different musicians of different generations and very different priorities. To have a space in which the audience and musicians can explore this huge swath of music together is something I’ve always dreamed of, and now we have it.” SoundBox launched in December 2014, and both of its first two seasons witnessed ten sold-out shows and overwhelming critical acclaim.
