WSO1718 Overture5 Web5b15d.Pdf MARCH - APRIL 2018 I ISSUE 5 BRUCKNER & BACH Lara Ciekiewicz A CHORUS LINE LUCA BURATTO PLAYS PROKOFIEV AL SIMMONS SYMPHONIC SHENANIGANS wso.ca I 204-949-3999 MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR In Winnipeg we greet the lengthening days and warmer weather with great enthusiasm and a feeling of pride for making it through another winter. Most of us say “that wasn’t too bad, at least it is a dry cold.” For the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, the start of spring brings us much enthusiasm about the season offerings for the coming year, but it also gives us extra appreciation for the concerts we are able to attend in the spring. I am looking forward to hearing Gwen Hoebig and Karl Stobbe perform Bach’s Double Concerto followed by the monumental Bruckner’s 9th Symphony. The partnership with Rainbow Stage continues with a wonderful performance of A Chorus Line, we perform great choral masterpieces at St. Boniface Cathedral in recognition of the anniversary of the diocese, and we welcome exciting young pianist Luca Buratto to the WSO. And, of course, we look forward to a performance with the irrepressible Al Simmons, our local genius. What else can we anticipate in the months to come? Well, the annual Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra Spring Gala on April 26 will move to the Centennial Concert Hall and Alloway Hall this year. The event will be connected to an exclusive performance of the orchestra and cast members from Cirque de la symphonie. Gala events are wonderful ways to celebrate as a community of WSO supporters, but attending the gala is not the only way to support the legacy of symphonic music in Winnipeg.You can enter the Symphony Sweepstakes, make a donation to the WSO Friends or Maestro’s Circle Programs, or remember the WSO in your estate planning. Our community would not be able to enjoy the many benefits that a professional symphony orchestra provides without the generous support of audience members who purchase tickets, make donations, volunteer in many different ways, and cheer for the WSO throughout the year. Thank you for your enthusiasm, generosity, and community minded support of the WSO.You make a difference! Trudy Schroeder Executive Director Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra March – April 2018 I OVERTURE 1 WSO SPONSORS, FUNDERS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The WSO proudly acknowledges the ongoing support of the following sponsors, media and funders: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PARTNER EDUCATION & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMS IN MEMORY OF PETER D. CURRY POPS KIDS CONCERTS CLASSICS A SERIES SERIES SERIES WSO IN BRANDON PERFORMANCE SPONSORS DANIEL FRIEDMAN ARNOLD & MYRA & ROB DALGLIESH FRIEMAN MICHAEL NESBITT MANITOBA HYDRO SOUNDCHECK POPS PRESENTING OFFICIAL RADIO STATION HOLIDAY TOUR PROGRAM MEDIA PARTNER OF THE WSO CLASSICS PIANO RAFFLE CAR RAFFLE CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY Women’s Committee of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra FUNDERS March – April 2018 I OVERTURE 3 CONDUCTORS AND COMPOSERS Alexander Mickelthwate, Music Director German conductor Alexander Mickelthwate is renowned for his “splendid, richly idiomatic readings” (LA Weekly),“fearless” approach and “first-rate technique” (Los Angeles Times). Critics have noted Alexander’s extraordinary command over the Austro-Germanic repertoire, commenting on the “passion, profundity, emotional intensity, subtlety and degree of perfection achieved” in Bruckner’s Symphony Photographer: Grajewski Fotograph Inc. No. 7 as “miraculous” (Anton Kuerti, 2011). Following on from his tenure as Assistant Conductor with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, which he completed in 2004, Alexander Mickelthwate was Associate Conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic for three years, under the direction of Essa-Pekka Salonen. Now in his twelfth season as Music Director of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, Alexander has significantly developed the orchestra’s profile through active community engagement and innovative programming initiatives like the annual Winnipeg New Music Festival and the Indigenous Music Festival. Chosen to perform at the Carnegie Hall Spring For Music Festival in New York, May 2014, due to “creative and innovative programming” (CBC Manitoba Scene), the orchestra was the only Canadian ensemble in the showcase. Julian Pellicano, Resident Conductor A conductor with expansive musical interests, Julian Pellicano is a formidable interpreter of the symphonic repertoire.The Winnipeg Free Press says of Pellicano,“His versatility is truly astonishing…”Marking his fifth season with the WSO, the 2017-2018 season includes appearances at the inaugural edition of the Ciclo de Música Contemporánea in Oviedo, Spain, a return to the Louisiana Philharmonic and his first appearance conducting the Photographer: Nardella Photography Inc. Royal Winnipeg Ballet among many other highlights. The creation, with Dr. Paul Lehrman, of a new performance edition of George Antheil's Ballet Mecanique first brought Pellicano to the public’s attention. Conductor of the Norfolk Contemporary Ensemble since 2008, Pellicano is recognized for his transparent interpretations of contemporary music. He studied conducting as a fellow at the Yale School of Music. An autodidact, he was accepted to the Peabody Conservatory as a percussionist without typical classical training, and continued his studies at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, Sweden and at the Yale School of Music and was a member of the critically acclaimed Yale Percussion Group. Pellicano also holds a degree in philosophy from The Johns Hopkins University. Harry Stafylakis, Composer-in-Residence,WNMF Festival Director Harry Stafylakis (b. 1982) hails from Montreal and is now based in NYC. He is the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra's Composer-In-Residence and Festival Director of the WSO's Winnipeg New Music Festival.

He is Principal Guest Conductor of the Orquesta Sinfónica de Tenerife and of the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra.

    Image features Audrey Dwyer from a photo by Avital Zemer. 1 A Message from the Artistic and Executive Directors Welcome to Seussical – one of our favourite musicals at YPT. Apart from being great fun and featuring terrific performances, this is a profound story. At its centre is Horton the Elephant’s assertion that "a person’s a person no matter how small". Obviously, these are words to live by. They are also a call to action for young people – to think and care about those who are sometimes forgotten or unseen. We hope Seussical inspires all audience members, young and not so young, to be conscious of the impact of their actions. Think how much better the world would be. To quote another song from the show "Oh the thinks you can think – if you’re willing to try..." Our show runs through the Holidays with public performances every day between December 27th and 31st. Perhaps you know someone for whom Seussical tickets would make a great gift! We wish you the very best for the Holidays and the New Year to come. ALLEN MACINNIS NANCY J. WEBSTER Artistic Director Executive Director Young People’s Theatre is a member of the Professional Association of Canadian Theatres (PACT) and engages, under the terms of the Canadian Theatre Agreement, professional Artists who are members of Canadian Actors’ Equity Association. This facility is supported through Toronto Arts Council Strategic Funding. Young People’s Theatre is situated on the territories of the Mississaugas of New Credit and other Indigenous peoples, whom we acknowledge and respect.

    Please join us on our Facebook page for daily sessions we’ll be sharing with our community, and on Friday, March 19 for the Rose Bowl and Sunday, March 21 for the Stars of the Festival Concert Live Streams! Welcome to the 66th Annual Medicine Hat Rotary Music Festival! (sponsored by the Medicine Hat Rotary Club) in affiliation with The Alberta Music Festival Association “In Music Festivals, the object is not to gain a prize, nor to defeat a rival, but to pace one another on the road to excellence.” – Sir H. Walford Davies We’re so glad to welcome all of our participants to the 2021 Festival! Chairman’s Message 2021 Welcome to the 66th Medicine Hat Rotary Music Festival! It seems that much more than a year passed since our last Festival. Many of you would remember that our last Rose Bowl ended up being with the limited audience and most of us watched it on our Facebook pages. The Stars of the Festival event was canceled. So much changed in our world since our last meeting. Fortunately, one thing didn't change and that's music. For many of us, music is now more important than ever. The month of March remains the constant, as the winter is holding back and the spring is pulling forward. It's also the month, during which, Medicine Hat is going to live for music. The music, that beautiful gift to humankind. It means a different thing to different people. For some, "music can bring cultures into a universal conversation that is beyond intellect or reason, but which is heartfelt." For some "it takes us into a world apart, a world beyond self and ego, the place of emotion that touches the soul".
