WELCOME FROM OUR MUSIC DIRECTOR

Dear Friends,

Thank you for making the first month of the 2019-20 Knoxville Symphony season such a smashing success! We kicked things off in style, and all of us on stage fed off of the incredible energy from every one of you.

Our season now is in full swing, and we want to keep that great momentum going! Our News Sentinel Pops Series opens with a dazzling set of classic hits performed by the Neil Diamond tribute band Super Diamond. Neil Diamond’s songs still stand in the spotlight of pop culture, and their continued vitality renders them anything but ’oldies’! Whether your favorite is ’Cherry Cherry,’ ’Solitary Man,’ or my personal favorite, ’Sweet Caroline’ (anybody who knows my wife’s name will know why!), Super Diamond promises to tug at the nostalgic, happy memories of your life.

Nostalgia also carries into our second Moxley Carmichael Masterworks program of the season, featuring Grieg’s unforgettable Piano Concerto in A minor, inspired in part by the Norwegian folk tunes of his youth. I am delighted to welcome an electrifying pianist, my friend Natasha Paremski, to Knoxville to make her KSO debut. Each of the pieces on this program represents milestones of ’arrival’ for their composers, when they moved from being promising young talents to indisputable stars of the symphonic community. If you are a Masterworks or Chamber Classics regular, the name Jessie Montgomery is likely starting to become familiar, as we have performed the music of this distinctive living composer in each of the last three seasons. Her most significant work to date, Records from a Vanishing City is inspired by Montgomery’s memories of the music that surrounded her growing up on Manhattan’s Lower East Side in the 80s and 90s. Opening the program is Dvořák’s stirring Seventh Symphony, with its memorably Slavonic third movement. The most nationalistic of his mature symphonies, Dvořák’s Seventh is meant to evoke the political struggles of his countrymen as they tried to establish a Czech nation.

Beyond these series, this month the KSO also performs Young People’s Concerts for thousands of elementary school students and continues our dedicated activities in classrooms, libraries and hospitals throughout East Tennessee. By buying tickets, subscribing and donating, you are supporting this essential work and more in our community. Thank you, and enjoy tonight’s concert!

Sincerely,

Aram Demirjian

The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra is flourishing under the transformative leadership of music director Aram Demirjian. Through bold programming, innovative collaborations and Aram’s dynamic presence both on stage and in the community, the KSO has attained new artistic heights, sustained significant ticket revenue increases and received national recognition for its achievements over the 3 years of his tenure.

The 2019-20 KSO season extends and intensifies Aram’s commitment to fostering community through collaboration in the concert hall. Local partnerships include performances with the Knoxville Choral Society, contemporary ensemble Nief-Norf, Street Beatz Studios and Go! Contemporary Dance Works, plus sought-after guest artists including Natasha Paremski, Bella Hristova and Grammy©-nominated violinist Philippe Quint. Quint will perform the world premiere of Michael Schachter’s Violin Concerto: Cycle of Life, a joint commission of the KSO and the Knoxville Museum of Art. Aram and the KSO continue to champion American music with works by Barber, Bernstein, James P. Johnson, Florence Price and George Walker, plus living composers Avner Dorman, Jennifer Higdon, Missy Mazzoli, Jessie Montgomery and Dosia McKay. Further highlights include Handel’s Messiah, Mahler’s First Symphony, Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony and a yearlong celebration of Beethoven’s 250th anniversary. Most notably, the KSO will perform in Washington, D.C.’s Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as one of only four organizations featured at SHIFT: A Festival of American Orchestras. Aram will conduct a program highlighting Knoxville’s artistic history called “Knoxville: Artists at Home,” featuring soprano Julia Bullock, poets RB Morris and RheaSunshine and a brass ensemble from University of Tennessee.

Aram has appeared with the nation’s top orchestras and maintains a close relationship with The Philadelphia Orchestra, with which he appears three times in the 2019-20 season. He also makes subscription debuts with the Tucson Symphony, Portland Symphony and the Orlando Philharmonic. Other recent engagements include the Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Omaha, San Antonio and St. Louis symphonies, the Minnesota and Sarasota orchestras, and the Louisiana Philharmonic.

Aram is involved in a substantial breadth of education and community initiatives with the goal of ensuring that everyone, regardless of age, background or circumstance, has access to great symphonic music. A gifted public speaker, he is a passionate and vocal advocate for the arts, and he regularly addresses to community and business organizations advocating for arts non-profits and arts education in our society.

Aram is the winner of the 2019 Career Assistance Award from the Solti Foundation U.S. and the 2011 Robert J. Harth Conducting Prize from the Aspen Music Festival, and he has appeared in masterclasses with renowned conductors Bernard Haitink and Kurt Masur. Aram holds a joint Bachelor of Arts in Music and Government from Harvard University and a Master of Music in Orchestral Conducting from New England Conservatory.

The Gift of Music

The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra is truly thankful for your support, which makes a major impact on our service to the East Tennessee region. Along with creating excellent music and performing in the traditional venues, 80% of the KSO’s time is spent not within the concert halls, but out in the community. Our Orchestra performs in school classrooms, libraries, hospitals, city parks, and churches, and reaches more than 200,000 children and adults each year. Since many of these concerts and programs are offered at low or no cost, your financial contribution is essential to support all that we do.

The KSO is proud to be the oldest continuously performing orchestra in the Southeast, and a vital component of the cultural tapestry that makes Knoxville such a special and distinctive place in which to live, work, and play.
