ESO Highnotes November 2020
HighNotes is brought to you by the Evanston Symphony Orchestra for the senior members of our community who must of necessity isolate more because of COVID-!9. The current pandemic has also affected all of us here at the ESO, and we understand full well the frustration of not being able to visit with family and friends or sing in soul-renewing choirs or do simple, familiar things like choosing this apple instead of that one at the grocery store. We of course miss making music together, which is especially difficult because Musical Notes and Activities for Seniors this fall marks the ESO’s 75th anniversary – our Diamond Jubilee. While we had a fabulous season of programs planned, we haven’t from the Evanston Symphony Orchestra been able to perform in a live concert since February so have had to push the hold button on all live performances for the time being. th However, we’re making plans to celebrate our long, lively, award- Happy 75 Anniversary, ESO! 2 winning history in the spring. Until then, we’ll continue to bring you music and musical activities in these issues of HighNotes – or for Aaron Copland An American Voice 4 as long as the City of Evanston asks us to do so! O’Connor Appalachian Waltz 6 HighNotes always has articles on a specific musical theme plus a variety of puzzles and some really bad jokes and puns. For this issue we’re focusing on “Americana,” which seems appropriate for Gershwin Porgy and Bess 7 November, when we come together as a country to exercise our constitutional right and duty to vote for candidates of our choice Bernstein West Side Story 8 and then to gather with our family and friends for Thanksgiving and completely spoil a magnificent meal by arguing about politics… ☺ Tate Music of Native Americans 9 But no politics here, thank you! “Bygones” features things that were big in our childhoods, but have now all but disappeared.

Music in Concert with the Landscape There are music festivals and there are music festivals. Then there is the Moab Music Festival – a mélange of musical programming set in one of the most splendid landscapes on earth. Old and new music – chamber music, vocal music, jazz, traditional music – performed by outstanding musicians in a setting of form, color, and light that creates an unmatched artistic experience… Music in Concert with the Landscape. The Festival Founded in 1992 by Michael Barrett and Leslie Tomkins, prominent musicians based in New York, the Festival gathers world-class instrumentalists and vocalists annually to celebrate vibrant music in an awe-inspiring landscape. An ever- expanding audience comes from all parts of the United States and from Europe to enjoy this unique combination of sight and sound. Composers range from Bach to Bernstein, from Ravel to Rorem, from Dvorák to Danielpour. One performance may feature a vocalist celebrating a French chanteuse; the next a chamber ensemble performing Brahms; then a jazz ensemble playing with a Latin flair; then an exploration of contemporary music by the season’s Composer-in-Residence, who will be present to discuss his or her work. For patrons, the three weekend fall festival – which in 2003 won ASCAP’s coveted award for “Adventurous Programming” in the music festival category – is a potpourri of musical offerings performed by dynamic, highly accomplished musicians. In June, the Festival offers a four day “Musical Adventure” benefit raft trip with performances held at scenic sites along the Colorado River. Many concerts take advantage of the remarkable environment and are set outdoors in unique settings – under a pavilion along the Colorado River, in a tent under towering rock monoliths, in a park sheltered by the shade of an ancient cottonwood.

1 of 2 Vol.1, No
Hello again from the Evanston Symphony Orchestra, a true community orchestra whose players all live in Evanston and nearby towns who come together for the sheer joy of making music. The August issue of HighNotes, the ESO’s publication of musical articles and activities for Evanston seniors, highlights the fabulous music of George Gershwin, introduces you to the ESO’s equally fabulous Music Director, Maestro Lawrence Eckerling, and to Jeffrey Biegel, one of our favorite soloists, then takes a detour by the Eiffel Tower, and ends up back here in Evanston with some information on two famous and fun inventions made right in our very own city. Puzzles, memory-joggers called “Bygones,” and bad jokes are also a given. If you’d like some more information on any of the articles or music mentioned in the August HighNotes, here are the links to many of the pieces. By the way, some of these pieces start out with an ad. Just give it five seconds and click on “Skip Ad” in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. An American in Paris – The ESO hasn’t recorded this Gershwin classic yet, but here’s a dazzling performance by the Los Angeles Philharmonic under the baton of Gustavo Duhamel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGt000iascg. In addition, there’s the delightful Oscar-winning 1951 film with Gene Kelly, Leslie Caron and Cyd Charisse. It’s available on various online streaming services and on DVD from libraries in the area. It’s always a treat to see Gene Kelly dance! Rhapsody in Blue – The Evanston Symphony’s own Music Director, Maestro Lawrence Eckerling, was both conductor AND piano soloist in a wonderful performance in 2011, but, alas, that was BEV (Before ESO Video), so we don’t have a recording.
