Expanded and adventurous programming, the MSO’s first commercial recording in over three decades, and a new $25-million- dollar endowment have highlighted the past two seasons. Moody is also Music Director of the lauded Arizona Musicfest, boasting one of the finest festival orchestras in North America. Players hail from the top orchestras in the world, including the Vienna and New York Philharmonics, Philadelphia and Cleveland Orchestras, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Memphis, Seattle, and San Francisco Symphonies, and the San Francisco and Metropolitan Opera Orchestras. In 2018 Moody completed eleven-years as Music Director of the Portland Symphony Orchestra (Maine), and thirteen-years as Music Director of the Winston-Salem Symphony (NC). Prior to that he served as Resident Conductor for the Phoenix Symphony, Chorus Master for Santa Fe Opera, and Associate Conductor for the Evansville (IN) Philharmonic Orchestra. Moody recently guest conducted the three major orchestras of South Africa in Durban, Johannesburg, and Cape Town; he was immediately invited to return for more concerts with all three in the Summer of 2020. Other guest conducting this season includes the orchestras of Bogota, Colombia; Aachen, Germany; Sacramento, California; and a return to the Sewanee Music Festival in the mountains of Tennessee. Prior Guest Conducting has included Chicago Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Vienna Chamber Orchestra, and the orchestras of Toronto, Houston, Indianapolis, Detroit, Seattle, Ft. Worth, San Antonio, Buffalo, Columbus, Louisville, Minnesota, and Slovenian Philharmonic. Festival conducting includes Santa Fe Opera, Spoleto Festival USA, Brevard Music Center, Sewanee Festival, Eastern Music Festival, Skaneateles Festival, Bowdoin International Festival, and the Oregon Bach Festival. 4 Equally at home in the opera pit, Moody began his career as apprentice conductor for the Landestheater Opera in Linz, Austria. He conducted for the opera companies of Santa Fe, Brevard Music Center, and Hilton Head Opera. He also assisted on a production of Verdi Otello at the Metropolitan Opera (NY), conducted by Valery Gergiev, and at The English National Opera, where he was Assistant Conductor for Kurt Weill Street Scene. He made his Washington National Opera and North Carolina Opera debuts in 2014, and conducted Bartok Bluebeard’s Castle, Leoncavallo I Pagliacci, and Poulenc Dialogues of the Carmelites in the seasons following. Debuts to rave reviews with Brevard Music Center for Weill Street Scene, Opera Carolina for Mozart Le Nozze di Figaro, and Des Moines Metro Opera for Strauss Die Fledermaus came in 2017 and 2018. Moody is a champion of the works of his close friend Mason Bates, now Composer-in-Residence with the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and prior in the same role with the Chicago Symphony. Moody commissioned/ conducted Bates’ first full orchestra composition, and has been instrumental in the commission and premiere performances of several of Bates’ important major works for orchestra, including Ode, Rusty Air in Carolina, and Desert Transport. Moody’s work can be heard on several commercially released recordings. He collaborated with the Canadian Brass for their Bach and Legends albums. He is also the conductor for Native American artist R. Carlos Nakai’s Fourth World album. In 2015 he was honored to conduct the “Cancer Blows” gala concert with Ryan Anthony, members of the Dallas Symphony, and a host of trumpet luminaries, to aid the fight against Multiple Myloma. CD and DVD recordings of that live concert are also commercially available. Fall of 2019 will see the release of Memphis Symphony Orchestra’s first commercial recording in several decades. The works are Jim Stephenson’s Concerto for Hope featuring Ryan Anthony, and Song of Hope by Peter Meechan—featuring Ryan Anthony and Scott Moore. A South Carolina native, Moody holds degrees from Furman University and the Eastman School of Music, where he studied with Donald Neuen. He is a Rotarian, and serves/has served on the boards of AIDs Care Services, Winston-Salem YMCA, WDAV Radio, and the Charlotte Master Chorale. Maestro Moody is an avid runner, swimmer, and snow-skier. 5 Memphis Symphony Orchestra Kalena Bovell ASSISTANT CONDUCTOR Kalena Bovell is the newly appointed Assistant Conductor of the Memphis Symphony Orchestra; a position she won after national search and auditions held in May 2019. She will be featured on numerous Pops, Education, Runout, and other concert cycles for MSO, as well as covering Maestro Moody and guest conductors on Masterworks and Classic Accents during the upcoming season. Hailed as “one of the brightest stars in the world of classical music,” (Channel 3 News) Ms. Bovell was Music Director of the Civic Orchestra of New Haven for the 2018-2019 season. Under her direction, the Civic Orchestra expanded their visibility within the New Haven community, continuing their tradition of providing high quality and accessible music performances through innovative programming and community engagement. This past season Ms. Bovell also guest conducted the New Britain Symphony in their March “Dance for Joy” concert and returned for Hartford Opera Theater’s New in November to conduct two short operas by Dawn Sonntag. Ms. Bovell worked with MSO once prior to this appointment: in 2016 former Music Director Mei Ann Chen brought Bovell to Memphis, to serve as her assistant conductor for Chen’s farewell performances. Bovell has also served in an assistant conductor role with both the St. Louis and Hartford Symphonies, and has covered well established conductors Gemma New and Carolyn Kuan. Ms. Bovell held conducting fellowships with the Allentown Symphony and the Chicago Sinfonietta. Due to her success with Sinfonietta, Ms. Bovell became assistant conductor for the 2016-2017 season, making her professional debut as part of the MLK Tribute concerts in Chicago’s Symphony Center. That same year, Ms. Bovell was a finalist for Marin Alsop’s Taki Concordia Fellowship. In 2015 she was awarded 3rd place in the American Prize for the college/ university division. 8 A dedicated educator, Ms. Bovell was the Orchestra Director at the Loomis

    Chicago Symphony Orchestra in September 2010

    PROGRAM NOTES BY DR. RICHARD E. RODDA MASON BATES Born 23 January 1977 in Philadelphia. Rusty Air in Carolina (2006) PREMIERE OF WORK: Winston-Salem, North Carolina, 20 May 2006; Stevens Center; Winston-Salem Symphony; Robert Moody, conductor THESE PERFORMANCES MARK THE PSO PREMIERE APPROXIMATE DURATION: 14 minutes INSTRUMENTATION: piccolo, two flutes, two oboes, English horn, two clarinets, bass clarinet, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, harp, piano and strings. Mason Bates brings not only his own fresh talent to the concert hall but also the musical sensibilities of a new generation — he is equally at home composing “for Lincoln Center,” according to his web site (www.masonbates.com), as being the “electronica artist Masonic® who moved to the San Francisco Bay Area from New York City, where he was a lounge DJ at such venues as The Frying Pan — the floating rave ship docked off the pier near West 22nd Street.” Bates was born in Philadelphia in 1977 and started studying piano with Hope Armstrong Erb at his childhood home in Richmond, Virginia. He earned degrees in both English literature and music composition in the joint program of Columbia University and the Juilliard School, where his composition teachers included John Corigliano, David Del Tredici and Samuel Adler, and received his doctorate in composition from the University of California, Berkeley in 2008 as a student of Edmund Campion and Jorge Lidermann. Bates was Resident Composer with the California Symphony from 2008 to 2011, Project San Francisco Artist-in-Residence with the San Francisco Symphony in 2011-2012, and Composer of the Year with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in 2012-2013; he began a continuing residency with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in September 2010.

    Brit-Pop, Hiphop Und Supertramp-Hits Bei Der Night of the Proms 2017

    Am 14. Dezember 2017 in der Coque Brit-Pop, Hiphop und Supertramp-Hits bei der Night of the Proms 2017 Mit Roger Hodgson, dem ehemaligen Sänger von Supertramp, Melanie C, Culcha Candela, John Miles und Emily Bear stehen die ersten Künstler der diesjährigen Ausgabe der Night of the Proms fest. Ein weiterer Hauptact wird nach der Sommerpause bekannt gegeben. Zusammen mit dem Antwerp Philharmonic Orchestra, dem Chor Fine Fleur und der NOTP Backbone Band präsentiert die Night of the Proms populäre Hits aus den letzen drei Jahrhunderten. Bei diesem außergewöhnlichen audiovisuellem Happening treffen Klassik auf Pop, Chucks auf Stilettos und Hiphop auf Tschaikowski. Nicht nur die Mischung aus Klassik und Popmusik macht die Night of the Proms zu einer Veranstaltung der besonderen Art. Auch das Publikum ist so bunt gemischt wie das Programm auf der Bühne. Und so vereint sich sowohl auf als auch vor der Bühne alles zu einer einzigartigen Melange, die für die tolle Stimmung im Publikum sorgt und den Abend zu einem unvergesslichen Event werden lässt. Denn die Veranstalter brechen nicht nur mit musikalischen Konventionen sondern inszenieren die Konzerte auch als Happenings, bei der sich der Jeansträger genau so wohl fühlt, wie der Gast in Anzug oder Abendkleid. Wer sich jetzt noch über den Namen des Orchester wundert, können wir beruhigen. Nach dem Wechsel des Taktstocks von Robert Groslot zu Alexandra Arrieche im letzten Jahr, hat sich unser bewährtes Orchester in Antwerp Philharmonic Orchestra umbenannt, die ehemalige Electric Band firmiert jetzt unter NOTP-Backbone. Mit der diesjährigen Mischung der Rock- und Popacts setzt der Veranstalter auf Altbewährtes und Neues.
