When I felt the lump on my neck, I’d been married just a year. My doctor suspected that it was cancer. I was lucky— he’d just been to a lecture about cutting- edge work being done at Fred Hutch. He told me to get in right away. He even texted the oncologist to let him know I was coming.

My oncologist was a gifted doctor, Fred Hutch researcher, and a great human being who would talk with me for as long as I needed. He told me I had stage 4 cancer and that it was too advanced for surgery. The news was as hard on my husband as it was on me. He’d lost his first wife to cancer, and now it looked like he would lose me too.

Fortunately for us, researchers at Fred Hutch were working on a new approach to treatment, where they sift through hundreds or even thousands of genes to find the weak spots in cancer cells. They then target those genes with drugs. So I enrolled in a Fred Hutch clinical trial.

Thirty days after I started the experimental drug combination, the cancer was gone. It was amazing! When we heard the news, my husband cried, and so did I. We had been given a second chance.

Thank you for giving to Fred Hutch. I’m alive today because of you. With gratitude,

Monroe

I love the cello and couldn’t unique and innovative communities across imagine playing any other Seattle, Renton, and the Eastside. instrument. I really love its rich tone and the variety of different sounds you can make. You can play so many styles on the cello: classical, pop and rock. I think playing the cello really opened my world to a lot of different genres of music besides just classical music.

My goal in life is to play cello for as long as possible, so I definitely want to bring it to college. I hope to do a double major in cello and chemistry. I spend a lot of time studying and practicing, but I’m also a hip-hop dancer with the dance team at Garfield High School.

The Seattle Symphony has partnered with Plymouth Housing since 2012. Plymouth’s mission is to eliminate homelessness and address its causes by preserving, developing and operating safe, quality, supportive housing and by providing adults experiencing homelessness with opportunities to stabilize and improve their lives. Today, over 1,000 formerly homeless adults live in 14 Plymouth residential apartment buildings in the downtown Seattle area. This December, Seattle Symphony musicians, board, staff and volunteers will be returning to Plymouth for annual holiday caroling. Plymouth Housing is one of 24 partners in the Seattle Symphony’s Simple Gifts initiative which brings the healing power of music to those who have previously or are currently experiencing homelessness. “It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the state of homelessness today, but we have solutions right here in Seattle. At Plymouth, we often say that housing is just the beginning. And it is, because helping men and women recover from homelessness is about so much more than housing. It’s also about building a healing community in which our residents can grow and thrive — and that’s just what the Symphony has

The year 1741 did not start out well for HANDEL MESSIAH George Frideric Handel (1685–1759), HOLIDAY SPECIALS having suffered a troubling decline in his financial and physical health. No stranger to life’s vicissitudes, he once again would Dmitry Sinkovsky, conductor & countertenor summon the inner resources to resuscitate his fortunes and constitution. Handel’s Yulia Van Doren, soprano triumphant “rebirth” came through the Colin Balzer, tenor providential grace of Messiah (1741).

Handel took the finished score to Dublin in response to an invitation from the Duke of Devonshire to lead a series of charity concerts. The composer knew that a visit to the Irish capital — where he was admired — bestowed a golden opportunity to get on his feet again. He even brought his own musicians with him to help ensure success. In April 1742, Dubliners were regaled with the first public performances of Messiah, and they showed their approval with ardent applause. Ever generous, Handel donated his share of the proceeds to a number of charitable institutions including one that helped “poor distressed prisoners for debt.”

Though the subject of Messiah is obviously central to the Western Christian tradition, He wrote the oratorio for public entertainment, not for the liturgy. It was conceived musically as an alternative to opera, not to church service. Freed

The Op. 46 collection marks the first brilliant outpouring of Czech nationalism in Dvořák’s Pablo Rus Broseta, conductor canon. Drawing upon a rich folk-based Yasko Sato, soprano dance tradition, Dvořák did not appropriate Eve Gigliotti, mezzo-soprano existing melodies for the Slavonic Dances, but relied on his own lyric sense and Sean Panikkar, tenor ingrained knowledge of the genre to write Davóne Tines, baritone original yet wholly idiomatic tunes.

The emphatic ending is interrupted by a brief clarinet cadenza.

In his Symphony No. 9, “Choral,” Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) redefined the scope and nature of the symphony format. In so doing he provided the model for succeeding generations of composers to emulate or assimilate. With the Ninth, the extra-musical message required Beethoven to add a sung text that expressed the democratic ideals that emerged during the Enlightenment of the late 18th century and which would furnish the energy for much of the political and social upheavals of the Romantic era and beyond.

SEATTLESYMPHONY.ORG/BH20 | 206.215.4832 PROGRAM NOTES

Much of the Symphony dates from 1822–23, but Beethoven was already drafting the beginning of the vast opening movement as early as 1816. The idea of incorporating Schiller’s An die Freude (“To joy,” written in 1785) came to the composer earlier still, in 1793, well before he had composed his First Symphony.

The awe-inspiring and epic first movement seems even vaster in scale than its length suggests. The opening tremolo- like figure in strings serves as a kind of painterly wash filled in initially by open fifths intoned by the brass before the initial theme tentatively unfolds with a tonality- defining minor or major third (F or F-sharp). Even when he finally enters an F natural about half a minute into the movement, establishing D minor as the home key, the swirling orchestral figures almost conjure up the aural equivalent of an interstellar nebula in the earliest stages of coalescing into an astral body. The basic intervals of the primary theme, D, F, A and the octave D, form an example of an Ur tema, a kind of thematic nugget made of from the notes that define a triad; this kind of VERDI’S “tune” (if we may call it that) is a uniquely German/Austrian construct having its roots in Haydn but extending forward through REVENGE Bruckner, Mahler and Richard Strauss (as in the opening minutes of Also sprach Zarathustra). STORY The exhausting and relentlessly dramatic opening movement does not lead to the “expected” slow movement, but instead Il trovatore yields to a manic scherzo whose main theme is articulated not only by the usual orchestral suspects, but by the timpani in the third (of four) rhythmic thrusts that make up the motif. The Trio in duple meter consists of variations in which a short, SWEEPING EMOTIONAL THRILLER JANUARY 12–26 folk-like tune is repeated over and over In Italian with English subtitles.
