SHE SAYS with Chee-Yun, violin
April 10, 2021 | 7:30 PM Welcome to OMP's Virtual Concert Hall!
Dear friends of OMP,
In the past 13 months since I was last asked to write a letter for an Oregon Mozart Players program book, OMP has been fortunate to continue making music during the pandemic. From chamber music recitals to our intimate holiday and Candlelight concerts and expanded string orchestra concerts with outstanding guest soloists, we have steadily maintained our mission to bring chamber orchestra music to the greater Eugene-Springfield community via streamed high-definition videos made available through Pay-What-You-Can donations. In doing so, I'm happy to relay that we have so far reached over 2,000 households with our performances; 50% of which had no previous association with OMP!
In April, on the heels of Women’s History month, we present a program centered on the musical contributions of women past and present. Jessie Montgomery, whose fresh and exciting “Starburst” opens our concert, represents the new generation of self-empowered composers who have made it their imperative to use their voices as artists to amplify important social messages through their work. The music of composer Emilie Mayer has only recently made a comeback after a century of lying dormant, despite Mayer having been the most prolific female German composer of the Romantic period, and I’m thrilled that my own arrangement of her G Minor quartet for string orchestra will receive its premiere on this program. In between, our effervescent and dynamic guest soloist Chee-Yun spins a charming account of Haydn’s C Major Violin Concerto.
I look forward to hearing your feedback about the important music in this concert!
Musically yours,
Kelly Kuo

oregonmozartplayers.org/auction Kelly Kuo Artistic Director & Conductor
Praised by the Cincinnati Enquirer as “a leader of exceptional musical gifts, who has a clear technique on the podium and an impressive rapport with audiences,” Maestro Kelly Kuo brings a dynamic versatility and nuance to a diverse repertoire, which includes over 90 operas and an expansive symphonic repertoire as well. Recent operatic engagements include Lyric Opera of Chicago, Seattle Opera, Cincinnati Opera, Indianapolis Opera, Kentucky Opera, Anchorage Opera, and the Janiec Opera Company of the Brevard Music Center. In 2008, Maestro Kuo became the first conductor of Asian descent to lead a performance at the Lyric Opera of Chicago, making his company debut with Porgy and Bess. He has since returned to lead the Chicago premiere of Charlie Parker’s Yardbird and performances featuring artists of the Ryan Opera Center.
Upcoming engagements include company debuts with Carmen for Opera Orlando, Don Giovanni for Opera Columbus, and concerts with the Reno Chamber Orchestra and Sunriver Music Festival. Regarding Maestro Kuo’s conducting of Charlie Parker’s Yardbird for the Lyric Opera of Chicago and Seattle Opera, the Chicago Sun Times stated, “Conductor Kelly Kuo and his small but superb orchestra are a seamless match for the singers,” and Bachtrack wrote, “Debuting conductor Kelly Kuo skillfully handled the well- selected 24-piece ensemble in the enormously complex score.” Of his production of Macbeth at Anchorage Opera, the Anchorage Daily news noted, “Top honors should probably go to conductor Kelly Kuo. The sound… was full and taut as Kuo brought out the drama and lyricism. The orchestra played with robust enthusiasm and accuracy.” And of his La traviata for Kentucky Opera, critics stated, “Conductor Kelly Kuo led the Louisville Orchestra Friday with considerable verve, and no shortage of idiomatic delicacy…the sound was balanced and quite full.” Maestro Kuo also led critically praised new productions of Philip Glass’ Galileo Galilei for both Madison Opera and Cincinnati Opera and has served as Music Director and Conductor of the Butler Opera Center at The University of Texas at Austin and on the conducting staff of Santa Fe Opera. World premieres conducted by Maestro Kuo include chamber orchestrations for Jake Heggie’s At the Statue of Venus and Daniel Catán’s La hija de Rappaccini, in addition to the premiere of Daron Hagen’s A Woman in Morocco.
As Artistic Director of Oregon Mozart Players, Maestro Kuo recently extended his contract through 2024, having “transformed this chamber group into...a band of professional, enthusiastic, and superior musicians, playing confidently as one unit” (The Register Guard). Recent symphonic engagements have included concerts with Memphis Symphony Orchestra, Malta Philharmonic Orchestra, Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra, Lexington Philharmonic, and Ballet Fantastique. Maestro Kuo also curated and conducted the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra’s inaugural Summermusik festival as Interim Music Director. Maestro Kuo has collaborated with such soloists as Cho-Liang Lin, Mark Kosower, David Shifrin, Mary Dunleavy, Bion Tsang, Anton Nel, Bella Hristova, Inbal Segev, and Elizabeth Rowe.
An Oregon native and recipient of a Solti Foundation U.S. Career Assistant Award for young conductors, Kuo continues to concertize as a keyboardist as the only pianist to have studied with two pupils of the Russian virtuoso Vladimir Horowitz. He is the resident pianist for the Zenith Chamber Music Festival and regularly performs recitals with the Kasarah Trio. Maestro Kuo holds a master’s degree in piano performance from the Manhattan School of Music and is an alumnus of the Houston Grand Opera Studio. Orchestra Kelly Kuo, Artistic Director & Conductor

Soloist Biography Chee-Yun, violin
As a recitalist, Chee-Yun has performed in many major U.S. cities, including New York, Chicago, Washington, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Atlanta. Career highlights include appearances at the Kennedy Center’s “Salute to Slava” gala honoring Mstislav Rostropovich and with the Mostly Mozart Festival on tour in Japan, as well as a performance with Michael Tilson Thomas in the inaugural season of Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall and the U.S. premiere of Penderecki’s Sonata No. 2 with pianist Barry Douglas. In 2016, Chee-Yun performed as a guest artist for the Secretary General at the United Nations in celebration of Korea’s National Foundation Day and the 25th anniversary of South Korea joining the UN. In 1993, Chee-Yun performed at the White House for President Bill Clinton and guests at an event honoring recipients of the National Medal of the Arts. Other career highlights include recitals in St. Paul, Buffalo, Omaha, Scottsdale, and Washington, D.C., duo recitals with cellist Alisa Weilerstein, a recital tour with pianist Alessio Bax, and a performance at American Ballet Theatre’s fall gala. Firmly committed to chamber music, Chee-Yun has toured with Music from Marlboro and appears frequently with Spoleto USA, a project she has been associated with since its inception. Additional chamber music appearances include performances at the Ravinia, Aspen, Bravo! Vail Valley, La Jolla, Caramoor, Green Music, Santa Fe, Orcas Island, Hawaii Performing Arts, and Bridgehampton festivals in the U.S.; the Great Mountains Music Festival in South Korea; the Clandeboye Festival with Camerata Ireland in Northern Ireland; the Opera Theatre and Music Festival in Lucca, Italy; the Colmar Festival in France; the Beethoven and Penderecki festivals in Poland; and the Kirishima Festival in Japan.
Chee-Yun has received exceptional acclaim as a recording artist since the release of her debut album of virtuoso encore pieces in 1993. Her recording of Penderecki’s Violin Concerto No. 2 on Naxos was acclaimed as “an engrossing, masterly performance” (The Strad) and “a performance of staggering virtuosity and musicality” (American Record Guide). Her releases on the Denon label include Mendelssohn’s E- minor Violin Concerto, Vieuxtemps’ Violin Concerto No. 5, Lalo’s Symphonie Espagnole and Saint-Saëns’ Violin Concerto No. 3 with the London Philharmonic under the direction of Maestro Lopez-Cobos, and violin sonatas from Debussy, Fauré, Franck, Saint-Saëns, Szymanowski, Brahms and Strauss. Two compilation discs, Vocalise d’amour and The Very Best of Chee-Yun, feature highlights of Chee- Yun’s earlier recordings. In 2007, Chee-Yun recorded the Beethoven Triple Concerto with Camerata Ireland, pianist Barry Douglas, and cellist Andrés Diaz for Satirino Records. In 2008, Decca/Korea released Serenata Notturno, an album of light classics that went platinum within six months of its release. Soloist Biography Chee-Yun, violin
Chee-Yun has performed frequently on National Public Radio’s Performance Today and on WQXR and WNYC radio in New York City. She has been featured on KTV, a children’s program on the cable network CNBC, A Prairie Home Companion, Public Radio International, and numerous syndicated and local radio programs across the world. She has appeared on PBS as a special guest on Victor Borge’s Then and Now 3, in a live broadcast at Atlanta’s Spivey Hall concurrent with the Olympic Games, and on ESPN performing the theme for the X Games. In 2009, she also appeared in an episode of HBO’s hit series Curb Your Enthusiasm. A short documentary film about Chee-Yun, “Chee-Yun: Seasons on the Road,” premiered in 2017 and is available on YouTube.
Chee-Yun’s first public performance at age eight took place in her native Seoul after she won the Grand Prize of the Korean Times Competition. At 13, she came to the United States and was invited to perform Vieuxtemps’ Concerto No. 5 in a Young People’s Concert with the New York Philharmonic. Two years later, she appeared as soloist with the New York String Orchestra under Alexander Schneider at Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center. In 1989, she won the Young Concert Artists International Auditions, and a year later she became the recipient of the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant. In Korea, Chee-Yun studied with Nam Yun Kim. In the United States, she has worked with Dorothy DeLay, Hyo Kang, Daniel Phillips, and Felix Galimir (chamber music) at The Juilliard School.
In addition to her active performance and recording schedule, Chee-Yun is a dedicated and enthusiastic educator. She gives master classes around the world and has held several teaching posts at notable music schools and universities. Her past faculty positions have included serving as the resident Starling Soloist and Adjunct Professor of Violin at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and as Visiting Professor of Music (Violin) at the Indiana University School of Music. From 2007 to 2017, she served as Artist-in-Residence and Professor of Violin at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
Chee-Yun plays a violin made by Francesco Ruggieri in 1669. It is rumored to have been buried with a previous owner for 200 years and has been profiled by the Washington Post. Program Notes
Jessie Montgomery (b. 1981) Starburst (2012) Program Notes by Gavin Borchert orn in New York City, Montgomery is a violinist, composer, and educator with a B graduate degree in composition and multimedia from New York University. She is a member of the Catalyst Quartet and a collaborator touring with cellist Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble. For close to 20 years Montgomery has been affiliated with The Sphinx Organization, a chamber orchestra of 18 of the nation’s top Black and Latinx classical soloists. Her debut album, Strum: Music for Strings, was released in 2015 on Azica Records; one review summed up her eclectic style as follows: “The album combines classical chamber music with elements of folk music, spirituals, improvisation, poetry and politics, crafting a unique and insightful new-music perspective on the cross-cultural intersections of American history.”
About her 2012 Starburst, Montgomery writes: “This brief one-movement work for string orchestra is a play on imagery of rapidly changing musical colors. Exploding gestures are juxtaposed with gentle fleeting melodies in an attempt to create a multidimensional soundscape. A common definition of a starburst—‘the rapid formation of large numbers of new stars in a galaxy at a rate high enough to alter the structure of the galaxy significantly’—lends itself almost literally to the nature of the performing ensemble who premiered the work, The Sphinx Virtuosi, and I wrote the piece with their dynamic in mind.”

Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) Violin Concerto in C Major, Hob.Vlla:1 (1765) Program Notes by Gavin Borchert f you were familiar only with their most-performed concertos, you might suspect that I Haydn and Mozart made a pact to divide between themselves the standard orchestral instruments of their day. Haydn’s best-known concertos are for cello and trumpet; Mozart neglected these (what cellists wouldn’t give for a Mozart concerto, or even a sonata), but left lastingly popular examples for basically everything else: violin, viola, and winds. (Haydn does seem to have written a double bass concerto as well, now lost.)
But during his long years of employment, starting in 1761, as the court music director for three successive princes (Paul, Nikolaus, and Anton) of the wealthy Esterhazy family, Haydn had a fine orchestra at his disposal—albeit a small one, perhaps 10-15 players or up to 30 for special events and operas. The first-chair violinist was the highly skilled Luigi Tomasini (hired first as a valet by Prince Paul but whose musical talent was noticed and nurtured), and for him Haydn wrote four violin concertos (only three have survived). Haydn himself played, but never fully mastered, the violin, and Tomasini’s expert advice must have come in handy; the solo violin part in this concerto is rather showy, full of double-stops (playing on more than one string at the same time) and passages in the upper registers of the instrument.
Emilie Mayer (1812-83) String Quartet No. 1 in G Minor, Op. 14 (arr. for string orchestra by Kelly Kuo) (1858) Program Notes by Gavin Borchert woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction,” " A Virginia Woolf famously stated in a 1928 lecture, and the career of composer Emilie Mayer strongly supports the theory. The 1840 death of her father, a successful pharmacist, provided the former, enabling her to advance her musical studies with composer Carl Loewe (best remembered today for his songs, just one level below Schubert’s and Schumann’s), and the fact that Mayer never married nor bore children gave her the space needed for creative work. Nor did teaching or performing significantly eat into her composing time, as it did for, say, Louise Farrenc and Clara Schumann. (Her one musical post outside of composition was the associate directorship of the Opera Academy of Berlin.)
The unsurprising result of these uncommon advantages was that Mayer was considerably more prolific than many female 19th-century composers. Her catalog includes eight symphonies (all of which, amazingly, were performed during her lifetime, though two are now lost), seven overtures, a piano concerto, songs and piano pieces, a great deal of chamber music including 12 cello sonatas, and even an opera, Die Fischerin. We’ll hear today one of her seven string quartets, which exhibits a sportive approach to harmonic investigation and restless key changes. Sponsors/Contributors As of April 10, 2021 at 10:00 AM PDT
