YEAR OF THE VIOLIN 2018–2019 SEASON MARKAND THAKAR MUSIC DIRECTOR president’s welcome! Welcome to Baltimore Chamber Orchestra’s 2018-2019 season: BCO’s 36th year and our Year of the Violin! We are delighted to bring you once again five outstanding concerts this season! This is a special season for BCO, one of Baltimore’s musical treasures. We are conducting a search for our next concertmaster and are privileged to have four extraordinary violinists, who will demonstrate their technical and musical mastery over the course of the year. Each violinist will perform a concerto with us and will sit first chair for part of a concert. We invite you to help us assess each of the soloists and help us choose BCO’s next great concertmaster. Share your thoughts! We provide compelling performances of outstanding music in a comfortable, beautiful setting that’s easily accessible. Our specialty is music for smaller orchestral ensembles from the extensive classical canon. In addition to providing fresh and inspiring interpretations of familiar classics, BCO plays less well-known masterpieces ignored by larger orchestras. BCO is Baltimore’s Intimate Classical Orchestra, striving to create musical intensity at every performance. Our Sunday afternoon audiences are passionate about our concerts, and our strong reviews reflect the artistry of the orchestra. Thank you for your generous financial contributions that enable BCO to present outstanding classical music each season. Ticket revenues provide a small portion of the orchestra’s operating budget. Your donations also sustain BCO’s commitment to music education of young people, including All Students Free All the Time at concerts. Live Wire String Quartet, BCO’s educational- outreach ensemble, touched the lives of more than 1,600 students last season. We are continuing our development of The Listening Lab, BCO’s second music-education project for older, elementary-school students. We are helping to create the next generation of classical music lovers! Please join us for the final nights of Music Director Markand Thakar’s exciting conducting programs each winter and summer. Aspiring young conductors come from around the world to work with BCO and hone their craft under Maestro Thakar’s tutelage. Donors and subscribers are invited to observe these revelatory sessions; we would love for you to attend the evenings with full orchestra. Our next conducting program will be in December. This is a unique experience available to BCO supporters. Share the joy! Bring your friends and neighbors and introduce them to our performances. Bring students and give them a great musical experience (free for students). If you have ideas about how we can continue to build audiences and support for the orchestra, please let us know your thoughts. On behalf of Baltimore Chamber Orchestra and its Board of Trustees, thank you for joining us. Savor the music! Kim Z. Golden, President Board of Trustees 1 Board of Trustees Kim Z.

Welcome to Baltimore Chamber Orchestra’s 36th season: Year of the Violin! While we miss our former concertmaster Madeline Adkins, stolen so unceremoniously by Utah Symphony (and without apology, I might add), we are excited by the prospects of a new era for BCO! We welcome four stellar candidates for the concertmaster position: Netanel “Nati” Draiblate, currently concertmaster of the orchestras of Annapolis and Lake Forest (IL); Karen Johnson, currently concertmaster of The White House Chamber Orchestra; Audrey Wright, associate concertmaster of Baltimore Symphony (Madeline’s successor); and Peter Sirotin, concertmaster of Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra. We also welcome William McGregor, the eighteen- year-old, virtuoso double-bass soloist and 2017 Stulberg International String Competition gold medalist. Our programs bring violin concertos of Mozart, Beethoven, and Mendelssohn; symphonies of Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, and Prokofiev; popular works by Dvořák, Rossini and Mozart; plus gems by Aaron Copland, Carl Nielsen, and of course by our much-loved Composer in Residence, Jonathan Leshnoff. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on who you’d like as our next concertmaster and, by all means, stop backstage after the concerts to say hello to all of us.

BCO traveled to China to perform a series of Viennese New Year’s concerts. A recent a performance in New York earned a review from The New York Times, which praised the group’s “warmth and substance.” During his 12-year’s tenure with Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra, DSSO saw dramatic growth in both audience and artistic prominence to what Minnesota Public Radio called “Minnesota’s other great orchestra.” Noted internationally as a pedagogue, Maestro Thakar’s two annual, intensive conducting programs with BCO have drawn conductors from five continents.

  • Bernard Rands Cello Concerto No. 1

    Bernard Rands Cello Concerto No. 1

    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Bernard Rands Born March 2, 1934, Sheffield, England. Currently resides in Boston, Massachusetts, and Chicago, Illinois. Cello Concerto No. 1 Rands composed this cello concerto in 1996, on a commission from the Boston Symphony Orchestra for the seventieth birthday of Mstislav Rostropovich, to whom it is dedicated. The first performances were given by Rostropovich and the Boston Symphony, with Seiji Ozawa conducting, on April 3, 4, and 5, 1997, at Symphony Hall in Boston. The orchestra consists of three flutes, two alto flutes and piccolo, two oboes and english horn, two clarinets and bass clarinet, two bassoons and contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones and tuba, two harps, piano, timpani, percussion (vibraphone, marimba, xylophone, glockenspiel, tubular bells, bongos, triangle, medium and large tam-tams, bass drum, almglocken), and strings. Performance time is approximately twenty-seven minutes. Concertos are often written for a particular performer. Sometimes that player is the composer himself, writing for his own instrument—Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt, Brahms, Bartók, and Stravinsky, for example, all composed piano concertos which they introduced themselves. Many concertos were written for virtuoso soloists—Brahms’s Violin Concerto was composed for Joseph Joachim and Elgar’s for Fritz Kreisler; Copland’s Clarinet Concerto was designed with Benny Goodman in mind; Ravel’s Left-Hand Piano Concerto was written on a commission from Paul Wittgenstein, who had lost his right arm in World War I. Like Britten’s Symphony for Cello and Orchestra and Shostakovich’s First Cello Concerto, this cello concerto by Bernard Rands was composed for Mstislav Rostropovich, one of the most formidable performers of our time.

Beethoven arrived in Vienna in 1792 and qUickly became popular in musical circles for his quick wit and an ability to improvise at the piano that was the envy of many. By 1796, he had established himself sufficiently to have the confidence to write two celio sonatas and dedicate them to none other than Kaiser Wilhelm II of Prussia. We are hearing the first of these two sonatas this evening. The opening Adagio evinces searching and yearning, the ensuing Allegro apositive release from these doubts. Beethoven relished pianistic virtuosity as ayoung man, and he doesn't spare himself here. Both this, and the lively second movement, are the work of ayoung spirit not yet aware of his destiny. The Sonata in DMajor, Opus 102 #2, is of another world. Beethoven's deafness had manifested itself as early as 1797, perhaps following about with rheu matic fever.
