A special display case set up by the BSO Archives, audience-right at the stage end of the Brooke Corridor (the orchestra-level Massachusetts Avenue corridor), includes Hindemith’s original manuscript of the Konzertmusik along with a program book and reviews from the premiere performance; a sketchbook for the Cello Concerto, and a 1944 letter from Hindemith to longtime BSO annotator John N. Burk, among other things. BSO Symposium Series for Music Educators New this year from the BSO’s Department of Education and Community Engagement, a free “Symposium Series for Music Educators” offers music teachers the opportunity to learn instrumental methods and techniques from BSO musicians in a focused workshop setting, thereby providing opportunities for teachers and BSO musicians to interact directly; affording BSO players the opportunity to serve as a direct resource for the advancement of quality music education in New England schools; and building an informal network of support and collaboration among area teachers from a wide variety of districts and back- grounds. The next session, scheduled for Wednesday, March 13, from 4:30-6 p.m. at Sym- phony Hall, is entitled “Triangle to Timpani: Percussion Methods with BSO Percussionists Daniel Bauch and Kyle Brightwell.” Please note that symposium sessions are intended for band and orchestra directors at the middle and high school levels, although non-educators are welcome to audit on a space-available basis. There is no fee, but because space is limited, participants must register in advance. Further information, and the registration form, can be found at bso.org, under the “Education & Community” tab on the BSO’s home page. BSO Community Chamber Concerts The BSO is happy to continue offering free Community Chamber Concerts by BSO musicians on Sunday afternoons at 3 p.m. in locations throughout the greater Boston area, specifically for communities whose access to the BSO is limited by distance or economics. The Com- munity Chamber Concerts are designed to build personal connections to the BSO and orchestral music, allowing community members to become more deeply engaged with the week 18 bso news 7 BSO over time. Each program lasts about an hour and is followed by a coffee-and-dessert reception for the audience and musicians. Upcoming concerts include performances at the Strand Theater in Dorchester on March 3 (Beethoven and Schubert), and at the Kennedy School in Somerville (Hindemith and Mozart) on March 10. In addition, both of these con- certs will feature a special pre-performance by community musicians beginning at 2:30 pm. These free concerts are made possible in part by a generous grant from the Lowell Institute. For tickets, please call SymphonyCharge at 1-888-266-1200.

  • PAUL HINDEMITH (1895-1963) in the Later Years of His Life Paul Hindemith Had Become a Somewhat Neglected Figure
    TEMPO A QUARTERLY REVIEW OF MODERN MUSIC Edited by Colin Mason © 1964 by Boosey & Hawkes Music Publishers Ltd. PAUL HINDEMITH (1895-1963) In the later years of his life Paul Hindemith had become a somewhat neglected figure. Once ranked with Stravinsky and Bartok among the most stimulating experimenters of the 1920s, he later began to lose his hold on the public, and his influence on younger composers declined, especially after 1945, when serialism started to spread widely, leaving him very much isolated in his hostility to it. Now that that issue no longer greatly agitates the musical world, it is becom- ing possible to assess more clearly the importance and individuality of his con- tribution to 20th-century music. An obvious comparison is with his compatriot of a generation earlier, Max Reger, who was similarly prolific, and in his early days was reckoned daring, but whose work later revealed an academic streak. In Hindemith one might call it rather an intellectual, rational and philosophical streak, not fatal but injurious to the spontaneous play of his musical imagination. As early as 193 1 he wrote an oratorio Das Unaufhorliche, to a text by Gottfried Benn which mocks at human illusions of what is enduring, including (besides learning, science, religion and love) art. Hindemith's choice of such a subject seems to have been symptomatic of some scepticism on his own part about art, and although his innate creative musical genius could not be repressed, it was made to struggle for survival against the theoretical restraints that he insisted on imposing upon it.
