welcome from our music director

Dear Friends, The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra’s month of April marks two substantial highlights to which we hope you have been looking forward all season—we certainly have! April begins with a performance that can only be described as “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.” On the News Sentinel Pops Series, we present the highly anticipated Disney in Concert: Mary Poppins. For many of you, seeing Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke on the big screen again will be a trip down memory lane. For the younger members of your family, this might be their first time seeing this timeless classic. But for everybody: it will certainly be the first time experiences this film with a live symphony orchestra. Aram Demirjian Our April Masterworks is all about anthems, and if ever the classical music world had a singular anthem, it would be the ‘Ode to Joy’ from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, an optimistic statement about humanity from a composer who held progressive beliefs for his time about equality and human rights. With enduring poetic declarations including, “All men will become brothers” and “this kiss is for the entire world,” Beethoven puts forth his belief that there is space in this world for all of us, and that we need each other to survive. I am particularly proud to partner with the Knoxville Choral Society, plus two ensembles of young musicians making their debut on Masterworks: the Webb School of Knoxville Chamber Singers, and students from Tennessee School for the Deaf, who will be signing the ‘Ode’ along with the singers. Beethoven, himself, was completely deaf when he conducted the premiere to his Ninth Symphony and needed to be turned around by the concertmaster so he could see the thunderous applause he could no long hear. Opening the program is a piece by New York-based composer Jessie Montgomery, inspired by the most prominent anthem in our society: our National Anthem. Composed in 2014 for the 200th anniversary of Francis Scott Key’s enduring ode, Banner is a rhapsody on the Star-Spangled Banner, blending its melody with various world anthems and patriotic songs, in an attempt to answer the question: “What does an anthem for the 21st century sound like in today’s multi-cultural environment?” This musical dialogue across the centuries is connected by Time Like an Ever Flowing Stream, composed by Knoxville’s ownMark Harrell, a longtime member of the KSO’s horn section. The month rounds out with lighter fare on Chamber Classics—a slight play of words on a popular TV series: “Mozart in the City.” Each of the four pieces on this program draws its inspiration from an urban setting, from Mozart’s symphonic gift to the cultural-industrial hub of Linz, Austria, to Boccherini’s lighthearted, theatrical evocation of a typical late night in Madrid, to two takes on New York City: Copland’s meditative Quiet City, featuring the KSO’s own Philip Chase Hawkins and Claire Chenette, and HK Gruber’s fiendishly cleverManhattan Broadcasts. Enjoy the concert!

52 knoxville symphony orchestra annual fund The Gift of Music The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra is truly thankful for your support, which makes a major impact on our service to the East Tennessee region. Along with creating excellent music and performing in the traditional venues, 80% of the KSO’s time is spent not within the concert halls, but out in the community. Our Orchestra performs in school classrooms, libraries, hospitals, city parks, and churches, and reaches more than 200,000 children and adults each year. Since many of these concerts and programs are offered at low or no cost, your financial contribution is essential to support all that we do.

The KSO is proud to be the oldest continuously performing orchestra in the Southeast, and a vital component of the cultural tapestry that makes Knoxville such a special and distinctive place in which to live, work, and play.

The KSO gratefully acknowledges the following pledges and gifts received as of March 4, 2019.
