In 2014-2015, the spotlight is on our own top-tier musicians with more than a dozen of the Pittsburgh Symphony members appearing as featured soloists over the course of the season. • Bates Returns — Composer and DJ Mason Bates brings his blend of contemporary symphonic music and electronica back to Heinz Hall for his second stint as Composer of the Year. • Honeck Times Two — Manfred Honeck will share the stage with his brother, Rainer Honeck, concertmaster of the Vienna Philharmonic, in a program featuring Britten’s Concerto for Violin and Orchestra and the Rusalka suite (arr. Honeck/Ille) • BeethovenFest — A celebration of Ludwig Van Beethoven’s most beloved compositions, including the Third, Fifth, Seventh and Ninth symphonies, over three weekends: “Beethoven, the Revolutionary,” “Beethoven, the Hero” and “Beethoven, the Immortal.” • “Fantasia” on the Big Screen — Audiences will experience scenes from “Fantasia” and “Fantasia 2000” with full orchestra accompaniment to Disney’s classic animation. • Conductor Debuts — The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra welcomes some new faces to the podium this season, including rising young American conductor James Gaffigan of the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra, Andres Orozco-Estrada of the Houston Symphony Orchestra and Krzysztof Urbański of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. PITTSBURGH—Today, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra announced the 2014-2015 BNY Mellon Grand Classics season, the orchestra’s 119th year since its founding and its seventh season under the leadership of Music Director Manfred Honeck. “There is so much to look forward to in the 2014-2015 season,” says Honeck. “I am excited for the return of the innovative Mason Bates as Composer of the Year, as well as debuts by young, up-and-coming musicians and guest conductors, but I am especially thrilled to showcase the incredible depth of talent among our Pittsburgh Symphony musicians during the season.” Honeck conducts 10 of the 20-week BNY Mellon Grand Classics subscription concerts, including Bates’ “Rusty Air in Carolina”; three BeethovenFest weekends; suites from Swan Lake and Romeo and Juliet ballets; and a performance featuring his brother, violinist Rainer Honeck. Several artists are slated to make their debut with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra this season, including music/comedy duo Igudesman & Joo, mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton, mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnson Cano, violinist Rainer Honeck and Spanish guitarist Pablo Sáinz Villegas. The Pittsburgh Symphony is fortunate to be the home orchestra for many virtuoso musicians who are renowned throughout the world. This coming season, more than a dozen of the symphony’s principals will have the opportunity to demonstrate their elite-level musicianship in front of the “home team,” including Lorna McGhee, flute (Oct. 24-26, 2014); Concertmaster Noah Bendix-Balgley (Jan. 30-Feb. 1, 2015, March 6-8, 2015 and March 20-22, 2015); Randolph Kelly, viola (March 6-8, 2015); Cynthia Koledo DeAlmeida, oboe (March 20- 22, 2015 and June 12-14, 2015); Jennifer Ross, violin (March 20-22, 2015); Anne Martindale Williams, cello (March 20-22, 2015 and May 15-17, 2015); David Premo, cello (March 20-22, 2015); Jeffrey Turner, double bass (March 20-22, 2015); John Moore, double bass (March 20-22, 2015); the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra Horn Section (March 27-29, 2015); and Nancy E. Goeres, bassoon (May 29-31, 2015). Additionally, audiences will have a special opportunity to enjoy two of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra’s principals playing pieces composed for them specifically. Anne Martindale Williams will perform a concerto by Jake Heggie for cello and voice called The Work at Hand: Symphonic Songs for Cello & Mezzo-Soprano. This emotionally charged piece is a setting of a poem by Linda Morefield, a friend of the composer who wrote it while fighting — and ultimately losing to — cancer. The season ends with the second Pittsburgh Symphony commission — a world premiere of the third in a series of concertos for Pittsburgh Symphony woodwind principals composed by Alan Fletcher. This symphony commission features Principal Oboe Cynthia Koledo DeAlmeida in the Concerto for Oboe and Orchestra. “From favorites like Beethoven to groundbreaking new music like that of Mason Bates, this season has something for everyone,” says James A. Wilkinson, president and CEO of the Pittsburgh Symphony. “We are proud of the artistic balance of the 2014-2015 season because it allows our guest conductors and soloists, as well as our own orchestra members, to shine.” The Pittsburgh Symphony welcomes back BNY Mellon as title sponsor for the BNY Mellon Grand Classics series. Fairmont Pittsburgh is the official hotel and Delta Air Lines is the official airline of the Pittsburgh Symphony. Season tickets are available in packages of six, seven, 14 and 20 concerts and range in price from $114 to $1,720. Season tickets are available by calling the Heinz Hall box office at 412-392-4900 or visiting pittsburghsymphony.org. Items of note in the 2014-2015 BNY Mellon Grand Classics Season: Composer of the Year During the 2014-2015 Season, the Pittsburgh Symphony welcomes back Mason Bates as its Composer of the Year for the second time with four weekends featuring his work. Bates’ music fuses innovative orchestral writing, imaginative narrative forms, jazz and pop harmonies and techno rhythms. Performed by orchestras large and small, his symphonic music has been the first to receive widespread acceptance for its expanded palette of electronic sounds. He also is a visible advocate for bringing new music to new spaces (such as the “Mercury Soul” project at Static nightclub performed by the symphony in the 2012-2013 season). A recipient of the Rome and Berlin Prizes as well as fellowships from Tanglewood and the Guggenheim Foundation, Bates was last Composer of the Year for the Pittsburgh Symphony in the 2012-2013 season. Launched in 2001-2002, the Composer of the Year program provides audiences with an unprecedented opportunity to encounter music of living composers, and establish a relationship with the composers through the experience of hearing multiple works and learning about the works through pre-concert talks and chats with the composer. Past participants are Steven Stucky, Joan Tower, John Adams, Richard Danielpour, John Corigliano, Christopher Theofanidis, Jennifer Higdon, Christopher Rouse, Michael Hersch, Krzysztof Penderecki, Rodion Shchedrin and Pittsburgh composers David Stock, Leonardo Balada, Nancy Galbraith, Patrick Burke, Bomi Jang, Mathew Rosenblum, Reza Vali and Amy Williams. The 2014-2015 BNY Mellon Grand Classics Season marks the 14th year of the Composer of the Year program. BeethovenFest Ludwig Van Beethoven defied the conventions of his time and produced revolutionary music that changed the world and influenced generations of composers, musicians and listeners. Beethoven’s legacy and the profound impact of his emotionally devastating and deeply personal works cannot be understated, especially in light of his own challenges and tragedies. The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra celebrates this enduring composer’s brilliant work and tumultuous life over three weekends (Dec. 5-7: “Beethoven, the Revolutionary,” Feb. 20 & 22: “Beethoven, the Hero” and June 5-7: “Beethoven, the Immortal”) during the 2014-2015 season. At Heinz Hall, Honeck will lead the Pittsburgh Symphony in performances of Beethoven’s most-loved symphonies, Nos. 3 (“Eroica”), 5, 7 and the triumphantly joyful 9, as well as notable concertos and the Quartet, Opus 18, No. 4 for String Orchestra, 1st movement, which is a Pittsburgh Symphony premiere arranged by Honeck. Over the course of the season, audiences will follow Beethoven on his journey from acolyte to revolutionary to master. Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra Gala The 2014-2015 season will kick off with the Pittsburgh Symphony’s annual gala concert and celebration, “For Your Eyes Only,” on Saturday, Sept. 13, 2014. This year, Honeck welcomes world-famous violinist and dear friend Anne-Sophie Mutter to perform. The Gala concert and parties are some of the most popular events of the year in Pittsburgh and concert tickets will be made available for purchase to the public this summer. Behind the Notes & Explore and Engage Programs The Pittsburgh Symphony continues its commitment to enabling patrons to have a deeper, more meaningful connection to the symphony and its repertoire, composers and conductors. Collaborations with area arts organizations and companies will continue in the 2014-2015 season. Pre- and post-concert talks, lobby displays, videos and interactive installations, workshops and more will enrich the BNY Mellon Grand Classics experience. “Behind the Notes,” a project launched in 2013-2014 to both entertain and enlighten audiences about specific pieces of music, will return for its sophomore year. During these special concerts, the conductor and the Pittsburgh Symphony spend the first half of the concert discussing and demonstrating the nuances and stories behind the music. After the intermission, the audience will hear the entire performance of the selected piece with an enriched understanding. The “Behind the Notes” concert for 2014-2015 is May 16 and

    PROGRAM NOTES BY DR. RICHARD E. RODDA MASON BATES Born 23 January 1977 in Philadelphia. Rusty Air in Carolina (2006) PREMIERE OF WORK: Winston-Salem, North Carolina, 20 May 2006; Stevens Center; Winston-Salem Symphony; Robert Moody, conductor THESE PERFORMANCES MARK THE PSO PREMIERE APPROXIMATE DURATION: 14 minutes INSTRUMENTATION: piccolo, two flutes, two oboes, English horn, two clarinets, bass clarinet, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, harp, piano and strings. Mason Bates brings not only his own fresh talent to the concert hall but also the musical sensibilities of a new generation — he is equally at home composing “for Lincoln Center,” according to his web site (www.masonbates.com), as being the “electronica artist Masonic® who moved to the San Francisco Bay Area from New York City, where he was a lounge DJ at such venues as The Frying Pan — the floating rave ship docked off the pier near West 22nd Street.” Bates was born in Philadelphia in 1977 and started studying piano with Hope Armstrong Erb at his childhood home in Richmond, Virginia. He earned degrees in both English literature and music composition in the joint program of Columbia University and the Juilliard School, where his composition teachers included John Corigliano, David Del Tredici and Samuel Adler, and received his doctorate in composition from the University of California, Berkeley in 2008 as a student of Edmund Campion and Jorge Lidermann. Bates was Resident Composer with the California Symphony from 2008 to 2011, Project San Francisco Artist-in-Residence with the San Francisco Symphony in 2011-2012, and Composer of the Year with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in 2012-2013; he began a continuing residency with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in September 2010.

  • Bates, Clyne Bringing Fresh Vibe to CSO's New Music Series by JOHN VON RHEIN
    MASON BATES Critical acclaim for artist "Be it mixing trip-hop and funk at a club or writing a symphonic or chamber work, composer Mason Bates is getting noticed for his straddling of classical music and electronica. ... Young, Juilliard-trained and already celebrated, he's become a fixture not only in concert halls but in the world of electronica as well. At a time when symphony orchestras nationwide are trolling for audience magnets - the type of new material that can lure members of generations X and Y along with older subscribers - Bates just might have that bait." Los Angeles Times, "Concerto for Two Universes," by Donna Perlmutter "Mason Bates, 30 years old...knows how to command an orchestra just as well as he does his touchpad. Bates's Liquid Interface, a National Symphony commission that received its world premiere last night, surpassed in sheer sonic beauty even the works by Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky that rounded out the program." The Washington Post, Andrew Lindemann Malone "The Juilliard School, in its annual Focus! Festival, presented six evenings of works written in 2005, including ... Mason Bates' Digital Loom, for organ and electronics, which transformed the hall into something between a decaying cathedral and an East Berlin club." The New Yorker, Alex Ross "Morgan led the world premiere of Icarian Rhapsody, an appealingly crafted work for strings by Oakland composer Mason Bates ... lovely to hear and ingeniously constructed..." San Francisco Chronicle, Joshue Kosman "Eventually, someone was bound to grow up so immersed in genre-mixing that they would get both sides of the equation right.
