BRAVO JANUARY/FEBRUARY/MARCH 2019 4 A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES Dear Columbus Symphony Supporter, As the wonderful performances of our 2018-19 season continue, we again thank you for your support of quality, live performances of orchestral music in our community! We end our busy January with Beethoven Marathon: Joanna Plays Beethoven (January 25 & 26, Ohio Theatre). Concertmaster Joanna Frankel makes her solo debut with the Columbus Symphony, performing Beethoven’s spiritual Violin Concerto. Rossen Milanov also conducts the epic “Eroica” Symphony to complete the program. Following that is a stage spectacle that faithfully and accurately reproduces the multi-Grammy Award-winning sounds of the Eagles. Hotel California: A Salute to the Eagles (February 23, Ohio Theatre) includes megahits like “Take it Easy,” “Heartache Tonight,” and “Hotel California.” After last year’s success, the Spanish Flamenco Festival returns with Griset Damas and the Flamenco Dance Company of Columbus. The Spanish Flamenco Festival: From Seville to the New World (March 1 & 2, Palace Theatre) comes to the newly-renovated Palace Theatre with John Axelrod, Music Director of the Royal Seville Symphony, conducting the Columbus Symphony. The program is inspired by adventure and enchantment, and concludes with Dvorˇák’s richly melodic New World Symphony. We continue with the Nordic Myths Festival: Grieg’s Piano Concerto (March 15 & 16, Ohio Theatre), which features Alessio Bax on piano in the beautiful concerto. Opening the concert is Wagner’s Celtic myth-inspired love story of Tristan and Isolde, and Finnish myths come to life in the expansive music of Sibelius, accompanied by original video art by Jason Gay. Our Pops series continues with one of the biggest movie franchises of all time, Jurassic Park in Concert (March 23, Ohio Theatre). The 25th anniversary of the movie features the visually stunning imagery and groundbreaking special effects in this action-packed adventure. Experience Jurassic Park like never before as it is projected in HD with the full Columbus Symphony playing John Williams’ iconic score live to picture. On behalf of the musicians, staff, and board of the Columbus Symphony, we sincerely thank you for your enduring support, enthusiasm, and faith in this organization. Please enjoy tonight’s performance!

  • ​Queen Hitting the Big Screens

    ​Queen Hitting the Big Screens

    ​Queen Hitting the Big Screens By: Kierra Setting The world is excited to see their favorite Rock band of all time hit the big screens. Even after nearly 27 years since their passionate lead singer Freddie Mercury passed away, people still enjoy the beautifully crafted songs by Queen. For this reason, 20th Century is releasing a movie as a tribute to the rock and roll band. Everyone knows “Bohemian Rhapsody,” but Queen was so much more than that. The band “Queen” was a rock and roll band that consisted of the talented lead singer Freddie Mercury, the drummer Roger Taylor, lead guitarist Brian May, and bass guitarist John Deacon. They all came together to form the band in 1970. The popular band wrote some of the most famous rock songs such as: “ Somebody to Love”, “ We Will Rock You”, “Another One Bites the Dust” and of course the well known “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Freddie Mercury tragically passed away due to AIDs in 1991 and John Deacon passed away in 1997. Although those members are gone, the band still continues to go on tour in Las Vegas today. Adam Lambert is subbing as the lead singer. Along with Adam, the original band members Brian May and Roger Taylor still perform. As of now, the movie will be titled Bohemian Rhapsody in honor of a song written by ​ ​ Freddie Mercury, which became the starting point of the band; their most popular and well-known song. The film will be released on November 2, 2018. The filming for the movie took place in London.

PALABRAS CLAVE: Nombres científicos, Nomenclatura binominal, CINZ, Taxonomía, Paleontología, Zoología. KEY WORDS: Scientific names, Binominal nomenclature, ICZN, Taxonomy, Paleontology, Zoology. RESUMEN Se presenta una recopilación de más de un millar de taxones de nivel género o especie, de los que 486 corresponden a fósiles y 595 a organismos actuales, que fueron nombrados a partir de personajes reales o imaginarios, objetos, compañías comerciales, juegos de palabras, divertimentos sonoros o expresiones con doble significado. Entre las personas distinguidas por estos taxones destacan notablemente los artistas (músicos, actores, escritores, pintores) y, en menor medida, políticos, grandes científicos o divulgadores, así como diversos activistas. De entre los personajes u obras de ficción resaltan los derivados de ciertas obras literarias, películas o series de televisión, además de variadas mitologías propias de las diversas culturas. Los taxones que conllevan una terminología erótica o sexual más o menos explícita, también ocupan un lugar destacado en estas listas. Obviamente, el conjunto de estas excentricidades nomenclaturales, muchas de las cuales bordean el buen gusto y puntualmente rebasan las recomendaciones éticas de los códigos internacionales de nomenclatura, representan una ínfima minoría entre los casi dos millones de especies descritas hasta ahora.

That of Wolfgang Rihm’s Sotto voce 2 was both. In terms of purely technical challenge, there is nothing in the piece to frighten a pianist who has mastered Chopin’s Etudes, and only a few to frighten the Mozartian. That is not the point, of course. The musical challenges are many, perhaps most of all for any pianist who still be- lieves music goes in reasonably straight lines – in other words one who has not already fully digested the music of the 20th Century. Which piano concerti from before 1900 have a form as improvisatory, complex and subtle as this piece? What other piano concerto has such an extraordinary variety of material, so artfully interwoven and developed? How many piano concerti have been written with such a clear and profound understanding of earlier repertoire? And then for the pianist there is the delicacy of a relationship with an orchestral palette that seems to hover between the 18th and 20th Centuries… After its simple antiphonal opening the form of Sotto voce 2 is spontaneous, free-flowing, almost a “stream of consciousness”.

    BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY Aller Produktionsschwierigkeiten Zum

    BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY Aller Produktionsschwierigkeiten zum Trotz ist Bryan Singer und Dexter Fletcher mit „Bohemian Rhapsody“ ein Musiker-Biopic gelungen, bei dem Freddie Mercury höchstpersönlich Tränen verdrücken würde. Das hier ist genau das filmische Denkmal, das sowohl der legendäre Queen- Sänger, als auch seine Band verdient haben. Im Jahr 1970 gründen Freddie Mercury (Rami Malek), Brian May (Gwilym Lee), Roger Taylor (Ben Hardy) und John Deacon (Joseph Mazzello) die Band Queen, die später zu einer der legendärsten Rockbands aller Zeiten werden sollte. Songs wie „Killer Queen”, „Bohemian Rhapsody”, „We Are The Champions” und „We Will Rock You“ machen die Musiker unsterblich, doch hinter der Fassade des Leadsängers Freddie Mercury macht sich langsam eine emotionale Zerrissenheit bemerkbar. Nicht nur mit seiner für ihn lange Zeit nicht definierbaren Sexualität muss sich der aus Sansibar stammende Parse arrangieren. Immer häufiger scheint sein Umfeld etwas Anderes zu wollen, als er selbst. Spätestens als sich seine große Liebe Mary (Lucy Boynton) von ihm trennt, bricht auch Freddie den Kontakt zu seinen Bandmitgliedern ab und versucht, solo genauso erfolgreich zu sein. Erst viel zu spät begreift er, dass er in diesen eigentlich längst eine Familie gefunden hat, mit der er 1985 beim legendären Live-Aid-Konzert spielen will – dem größten Konzert der Welt! Erst ersetzte Rami Malek („Papillon“) „Borat“-Star Sacha Baron Cohen für die Hauptrolle des Freddie Mercury, dann wurde Regisseur Bryan Singer („X-Men: Apocalypse“) 16 Tage vor Abschluss der Dreharbeiten gefeuert und Dexter Fletcher („Terminal“) musste für das Großprojekt „Queen-Biopic“ in die Bresche springen. Genau genommen stehen also alle Zeichen auf Katastrophe, doch von all diesen produktionsinternen Problemen bekommt man als Zuschauer absolut nichts mit.
