Thank you for joining us as we collaborate with virtuoso soloists from Turkey, Armenia, Lebanon and Iran, and visiting Canadian ensembles from Victoria and Montreal, to present traditional, contemporary and intercultural music of the Middle East and Canada. The Araxes (or Aras) River starts in Turkey, and flows along the border with Armenia into Azerbaijan, where it continues along another border (with Iran), until it joins the Kura and together they reach the Caspian Sea. As major rivers often are, the Araxes is a boundary marker, but also a roadway, where tributaries, travellers, cultures and ideas meet and are swept along on voyages of discovery. We invite you to come along with us on a similar journey in musical form; to get to know a group of artists who are not only virtuoso talents, but also creative, flexible and willing to work hard at communicating across cultural and stylistic differences; to let them show you a brilliantly expanded sound palette, and music that is both rooted in ancient traditions and excitingly fresh to the ear. We are grateful to everyone involved for their many contributions, which have led to this beautiful demonstration of the power of artistic collaboration, and how it can transcend boundaries - cultural, geographical, political, historical. Enjoy the music! - Mark Armanini ABOUT THE VICO The Vancouver Inter-Cultural Orchestra, founded in 2001, was one of the first concert orchestras in the world devoted specifically to performing new intercultural music on a grand scale. It is currently the only professional ensemble of its kind in Canada. The VICO brings together musicians and composers from many cultural and artistic communities in the Lower Mainland, including Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese, Indian, Persian (Iranian) and Middle Eastern, Latin and South American, Vietnamese, African, North American and European. VICO strives to be a fresh and relevant voice in the contemporary music of our city, our province and our country. We build bridges of imagination. We approach diversity as a fascinating challenge and a creative call to action. We make connections, between performers and audiences of all ages and backgrounds, across the Lower Mainland, throughout Canada and the world. We create and perform orchestral music that transcends boundaries: cultural, social, political, geographical. A 2012 recipient of the City of Vancouver Cultural Harmony Award, the VICO has been described as “the United Nations of music” (CBC Radio) and “music that sounds like Vancouver looks” (Georgia Straight). 3 HIDDEN TREASURES Traditional & Contemporary Music of the Middle East & Canada Saturday February 20, 2015 at 8 PM - Open Space, Victoria Thursday February 25, 2015 at 8 PM - Orpheum Annex, Vancouver Emily Carr String Quartet Gevorg Dabaghyan, duduk Neva Özgen, kemençe Navid Goldrick, oud Niel Golden, tabla 1.

Written in 1947, Ahmed Adnan Saygun’s Quartet No. 1, Op. 27 is refreshingly unaffected by the post-war tendencies of his western contemporaries: an incantation-like four-note motif announces the first movement before erupting into an allegro characterized by Bartók-esque fits of virtuosity and gravitas. The second movement — the longest and arguably the most folk-inspired — evokes a Mevlevi (Whirling Dervish) hymn with its quiet echoes and vocal imitations. The finale restates the opening motif of the first movement, which is quickly transformed into a traditional horon dance. This, in turn, becomes the subject of a virtuosic four-part fugue, bringing the work to a wild and hedonistic close. softly, as night darkens - see notes by Mark Armanini on page 8. fosün presents a dichotomy of Persian dashti lines and Chinese pentatonic lines, in the context of slowly moving harmonies derived from Ney’s spectrum. The two different modes are subsets of one another, so the contrast is subtle and coloristic. - Farshid Samandari “My life has been the poem I would have writ, But I could not both live and utter it.” (Henry Thoreau) I began writing California Dutch (2015) during my Djerassi artist residency in the Santa Cruz mountains, California. It is as Dutch as anything I have ever written: motoric, diatonic, sunny in character, but with a touch of lowland melancholy; all with the arithmetical structures common to pieces by Guus Jansen, Martijn Padding, and others. (This is nothing new; German Baroque composers in particular frequently wrote in the French, English or Italian manner.) It is dedicated to my old school friend, Joël Bons, who was the first to ask me to write for non-Western instruments some twenty years ago. Aside from my percussion writing, this is my first such piece. My thanks to Navid Goldrick, Farshid Samandari, Mark Armanini and the quartet members for their assistance, focus and warm good-humour in preparing tonight's performance. - Rodney Sharman Fourteen Pieces on Themes from Armenian Folk Songs is a compilation of string quartet arrangements of Komitas treatments of a set of folk songs. These songs have a wide range of themes ranging from rustic to romantic. 5 INTIMATE SOUNDS OF ARAXES Special House Concert Friday February 26, 2016 at 8 pm The Annex on Blenheim 5590 Blenheim St., Vancouver Gevorg Dabaghyan, duduk Neva Özgen, kemençe Kiya Tabassian, setar & voice An exclusive opportunity to interact with three Festival guest artists, and hear them perform in a uniquely intimate setting, while enjoying tasty beverages and appetizers.

    Jahrhundertpianist Musikalische Einsichten Gratulation zum 25. Maurizio Pollini schlägt in seinem Thomas Hengelbrock Das Schlagquartett Köln feiert in Recital romantische Töne an im Interview zwei Konzerten NR. 6 JAN / FEB 2015 EDITORIAL LEBEN • WOHNEN • ARBEITEN • GENIESSEN DAS NEUE GERLING QUARTIER Liebe Besucherinnen und Besucher, liebe Freundinnen und Freunde der Kölner Philharmonie, auf den Jahreswechsel reagieren die Charaktere höchst unterschiedlich. Manche nehmen den Silves- terabend als eine Zäsur, um am nächsten Tag voller Schwung ihr Leben zu ändern. Andere begegnen dem neuen Jahr mit Skepsis angesichts dessen, welche Nachrichten uns täglich erreichen. Sich da- von nicht zu schnell den Blick trüben zu lassen, sich möglichen Zukunftsängsten mit dem Verstand zu stellen ist – mit oder ohne gute Vorsätze, eine konstruktive Art mit zu erwartenden Änderungen umzu- gehen. Nüchtern betrachtet projizieren wir letztendlich nur unsere Erfahrungen der Vergangenheit auf das, was wir Zukunft nennen. In der Kölner Philharmonie sind wir ohne Einschnitt, ohne Pause für Sie da. Wir schließen mit Jahres- ende nur die erste Hälfte der Spielzeit ab und bleiben quasi mittendrin in der Saison 2014/2015: Mit dem Trompeter Sergei Nakariakov an Neujahr, einer konzertant aufgeführten »Csárdásfürstin«, einem Recital des geschätzten Maurizio Pollini und einem Gastspiel mit dem Leipziger Gewandhausorches- ter unter der Leitung seines Gewandhauskapellmeisters Riccardo Chailly. Die fünf Musiker des irani- schen Dastan Ensembles haben als Solistin die herausragende Sängerin Mahdieh Mohammadkhani dabei. Der polnische Jazzpianist Leszek Możdżer beehrt uns dieses Mal nicht allein, sondern bildet mit dem schwedischen Bassisten Lars Danielsson und dem israelischen Percussionisten Zohar Fresco ein klassisches Jazztrio. Songs vom Broadway stehen auf dem Programm von Götz Alsmann und seiner Band, und zu einem Wiedersehen mit einem kölschen Entertainer kommt es mit Krätzjesänger Ludwig Sebus, der seinen 90.
