APRIL at the OSM Three Times Louis Lortie, OSM Artist In APRIL AT THE OSM Three times Louis Lortie, OSM artist in residence OSM Pop – Simon Leclerc and the work of Jacques Brel Conductors Sir Andrew Davis, Bernard Labadie, Christophe Gedschold, Andrew Megill, Adam Johnson and Simon Leclerc take turns on the podium Masterclass with harpist Xavier de Maistre Public reading dedicated to creations by four students from Université de Montréal The OSM Chorus sings Mozart and Schubert Annual OSM+ benefit event courtesy of the OSM Young Ambassadors Club Children’s Corner series: Patrice Bélanger invites the young to discover the OSM Messiaen day: chamber music concert at Bourgie Hall Montréal, April 1, 2017 – During the month of April the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal will be welcoming great conductors to Maison symphonique. Pianist in residence at the OSM Louis Lortie will take to the stage on three occasions, first in recital and then with the Orchestra under the direction of British conductor Sir Andrew Davis. At the end of the month, Bernard Labadie, music director and founder of Les Violons du Roy, will be the OSM’s guest for a touching reunion with Louis Lortie, while Patrice Bélanger, the OSM’s young-audience concert ambassador, invites youngsters to discover the Orchestra. ********** MASTERCLASS In partnership with Montréal’s institutions of higher learning, the OSM annually offers a series of masterclasses featuring its guest artists. These courses in performance are given before an audience and make it not only possible for students to learn from an expert, but also for spectators to discover the artists and to learn more about the works being performed. Taking advantage of their visits to the OSM, these remarkable musicians reach out to music students to pass along knowledge and advice.

Pianist Angela Hewitt performs a piece in which magic, ritual, Oriental exuberance and Andalusian folklore are all on the bill. Like light shooting through the sky in the dead of night, the Concerto capriccio by Catalan composer Xavier Montsalvatge is performed by French harpist Xavier de Maistre. From Mozart, the overture to the opera Don Giovanni, one of the composer’s major works and whose action unfolds in Seville, and the symphony known as “Haffner” complete this Spanish- accented program. A true dreamscape.

Joaquín Rodrigo is a very well-known and esteemed name in the United States, a country which has presented the World Premieres of many of his best known works. It is especially gratifying that a focus of this event is to highlight the importance of my father’s chamber music repertoire which has not always received the attention that it deserves. I would like to emphasize how much I appreciate the participation of each and every one of the outstanding soloists, a number of whom I have known previously and others of whom I have recently had the pleasure of meeting.

Wahl August 2016 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Walter A. Clark, Chairperson Dr. Byron Adams Dr. Leonora Saavedra Copyright by Robert J. Wahl 2016 The Dissertation of Robert J. Wahl is approved: __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________ Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside Acknowledgements I would like to thank the music faculty at the University of California, Riverside, for sharing their expertise in Ibero-American and twentieth-century music with me throughout my studies and the dissertation writing process. I am particularly grateful for Byron Adams and Leonora Saavedra generously giving their time and insight to help me contextualize my work within the broader landscape of twentieth-century music. I would also like to thank Walter Clark, my advisor and dissertation chair, whose encouragement, breadth of knowledge, and attention to detail helped to shape this dissertation into what it is. He is a true role model. This dissertation would not have been possible without the generous financial support of several sources. The Manolito Pinazo Memorial Award helped to fund my archival research in New York and Pittsburgh, and the Maxwell H. Gluck Fellowship provided several years of support while studying in Riverside. Graduate Division also supported me with multiple travel grants, enabling me to share my research at conferences across the country. Members of the Pacific-Southwest and Northern California chapters of the American Musicological Society were particularly valuable in offering substantial commentary on early versions of what are now chapters in this dissertation.

Con más modestia pero no menos admiración y cariño, deseamos asociarnos de nuevo a la conmemoración de otro de los momentos estelares en la vida de uno de los más destacados decanos de nuestra vida musical. En estos diez años, Xavier Montsalvatge no ha estado ocioso, ni mucho menos. Cuatro obras para piano, otras tantas de cámara, la importantísima Sinfonía de Requiem, la Metamorfosis de concierto para guitarra y orquesta, una obra para banda (Música per a un Diumenge), canciones... El mérito no es, pues, llegara los ochenta, sino llegar en pleno dominio de sus facultades, produciendo obras excelentes y, como el Goya de Burdeos, aún aprendiendo. Hemos programado para este concierto, resumen de una vida, la totalidad de su obra para canto y piano. No hemos conseguido localizar una canción primeriza, 'No te abandonaré' con texto de Joan Teixidor, compuesta cuando Xavier era estudiante: ni él mismo la conserva. Pero sí tenemos una sorpresa incluso para su mismo autor. A raíz del éxito de las Canciones negras, y en especial de la Canción de cuna, Montsalvatge compuso otra Nana con texto del cubano Emilio Ballagas. Montsalvatge la había olvidado, pero hemos localizado para nuestra Biblioteca de Música Española Contemporánea un ejemplar de una reciente edición americana: todos la oiremos ahora por vez primera en Madrid.
