San Francisco Symphony Chorus Ragnar Bohlin, Director
SAN FRANCISCO SYMPHONY CHORUS RAGNAR BOHLIN, DIRECTOR One of America’s most distinguished choruses, the 152-member San Francisco Symphony Chorus—which celebrated its 40th anniversary during the 2013-14 season—is known for its precision, power, and versatility. Led by Chorus Director Ragnar Bohlin, the Chorus performs more than 26 concerts each season and is comprised of 32 professional and 120 volunteer members. San Francisco Chronicle classical music critic Joshua Kosman recently praised the Chorus for its “welcomed blend of robust vigor and precisely shaded transparency.” Most recently, the SFS Chorus can be heard along with MTT and the SF Symphony on the November 2015 SFS Media release of Beethoven’s Mass in C major. Prior to that, members of the chorus were featured on the Symphony’s complete concert recording of Bernstein’s score for West Side Story, released in June 2014 and nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album. Performances with the San Francisco Symphony in the 2017–18 season include Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms in September, Ives’ Psalm 90 and Symphony No. 4 in November, and Bernstein’s Candide in January, all conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas. In December, Ragnar Bohlin conducts the SF Symphony and Chorus in performances of Handel’s Messiah. Other appearances during the year include members of the Chorus joining the Orchestra in a live accompaniment to Miloš Forman’s Amadeus, and for the Symphony’s Oktoberfest celebration. In May 2018, the Chorus presents a solo concert, performing J.S. Bach’s Magnificat. To close out the season, the SFS Chorus joins the Symphony in June for the final two concert programs of the season, both conducted by MTT—semi-staged performances of Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov and Mahler’s Symphony No.

Beethoven and Brahms
Cocktail Hour Chamber music of Beethoven and Brahms 23 & 24 AUGUST SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE UTZON ROOM SYDNEY SYMPHONY CHAMBER MUSIC 2019 Beethoven and Brahms Beethoven’s three ‘Razumovsky’ Quartets appeared in 1806, FRIDAY 23 AUGUST | 6PM commissioned by the Russian ambassador to the Viennese court, SATURDAY 24 AUGUST | 6PM Count Razumovsky. A fine amateur musician, he also patronised SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE the quartet, led by Ignaz Schuppanzigh, that was ‘placed at UTZON ROOM [Beethoven’s] complete disposal.’ At Razumovsky’s request, Beethoven included Russian folk melodies in the first two (and made a fair facsimile in the third). Beethoven’s revolutionary ‘Eroica’ Symphony left its mark on the scale and form of the first ‘Razumovsky’, but its mannerisms can be found in the second, as in the opening gesture. Two isolated chords followed by a bar of silence leave us none the wiser about the speed or rhythmic character of what follows. We are richly rewarded by the bewildering array of implications drawn from the ideas in the first few bars. The serene second movement unfolds expansively over some fourteen minutes, and according to Beethoven’s student Carl Czerny, represents the composer’s contemplation of a starry sky and the music of the spheres. A Beethoven in 1800 greater contrast with the restless energy of the first movement LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN couldn’t be imagined, nor with the dance movement which (1770–1827) follows. This is an insistent allegretto, but it is in the central trio String Quartet in E minor, that Beethoven a Russian theme – the same one sung in the ‘Razumovsky’ Coronation Scene from Mussorgsky’s opera Boris Godunov.

All of the programs include Mozart’s lively Violin Concerto No. 5 (Turkish) and American composer John Adams’ large-scale symphonic work, Harmonielehre. Inspired by Adams’ own dreams, as well as his reflection on the writings of Carl Jung, the piece was named after Schoenberg’s book Harmonielehre (Treatise on Harmony). In Adams own words, the composition is “a statement of belief in the power of tonality at a time when I was uncertain about its future.” The November 12-14 programs open with Strauss’ playful Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks, which received its U.S. premiere in 1895 with the CSO under the baton of its first music director, Theodore Thomas. Already a highly sought-after soloist, Augustin Hadelich has performed with many major U.S.
