A search committee -- three members of the board of trustees, one community representative, two representatives of the organization's management and six members of the orchestra -- operated with a "secrecy the CIA would envy," US | UO board Related Topic Pages chairwoman Pat Richards said, before unanimously selecting Fischer. Iraq Richards said Fischer's first appearance with the Utah Symphony -- when he Iran led the orchestra in Berlioz's "Symphonie fantastique" in October 2007 -- won Afghanistan rave reviews from orchestra and audience members, so he was invited back to conduct a program of Schubert, Stravinsky and Mendelssohn in January 2009. "The second time, it was so overwhelmingly obvious; the orchestra responded so well to him. At that point, we started to talk a little bit," Richards said. She and two other search-committee members flew to Geneva in May to visit with Fischer; he and his wife came to Utah in June. "The rapport we built in those visits was just wonderful," Richards said. "We all felt totally in tune with one another." Jerry Fenn, head of the search committee, said Fischer met all four symbolic legs of a chair he was looking for: great ability and talent as a conductor; the ability to lead the organization; a commitment to the community with enthusiasm; and ability to "pass the newspaper test," in that he was a person of integrity who wouldn't some morning appear on the front page in a scandal. Members of the orchestra were pleased to be so well-represented on the search committee; during the last music-director search, the committee included only two musicians versus six this time. "He's a good guy, and that goes a long way [with] me," said principal trumpeter Nick Norton, a member of the committee. "He seems really right for the community." Principal clarinetist Tad Calcara said Fischer's experience as an orchestra musician is another big point in his favor. Musicians milling backstage after Thursday morning's rehearsal buzzed with enthusiasm. "He's the right guy for this moment in time," said principal violist and search-committee member Brant Bayless, who beamed throughout the half-hour news conference. "He's a consummate artist. He has great honesty as a person, as a boss and as a musician. ... We're all excited." Lockhart e-mailed The Tribune with his response to his replacement: "I congratulate Maestro Thierry Fischer and join with my colleagues and our audience in welcoming him to the Utah Symphony family.

This concert will be recorded live for future broadcast. To ensure the highest-quality recording, please keep noise to a minimum. INCONCERT 19 CLASSICAL PROGRAM SUMMARY How do young artists find a unique voice? This program brings together three works, each written when their respective composers were only in their 20s. The young American Andrew Norman was already tapping into his gift for crafting vibrantly imaginative, almost hyper-active soundscapes in Unstuck, the brief but event-filled orchestral piece that opens our concert. Felix Mendelssohn had already been in the public eye as a child prodigy before he embarked on a series of travels across Europe from which he stored impressions for numerous mature compositions — including the First Piano Concerto. Just around the time Mendelssohn wrote this music, his contemporary Hector Berlioz was refining the ideas that percolate in his first completed symphonic masterpiece. The Symphonie fantastique created a sensation of its own with its evocation of a tempestuous autobiographical love affair through an unprecedentedly bold use of the expanded Romantic orchestra.

The Utah Symphony is con- ducted by Thierry Fischer. Founded in 1962, the A Cappella Choir offers singers the opportunity to perform works for larger choirs and to fi ne- tune the art of choral singing through exposure to music from Utah Chamber Artists the Renaissance through the twenty-fi rst century. Choir mem- bers hone musicianship skills such as rhythm, sight-reading, and the understanding of complex scores. They develop an understanding of the intricacies of vocal production, includ- ing pitch, and how to blend individual voices together into a unifi ed, beautiful sound. In recent years, the A Cappella Choir has become a standard of excellence in student singing in the State of Utah. Last fall, they sang Mozart’s Trinity Mass with the Utah Symphony and the Utah Symphony Chorus under the direction of Thierry Fischer. This renewed a tradition of collaboration between the choirs of the University of Utah and the Utah Symphony, and their outstanding performance resulted in invitations for return engagements in 2015. Utah Chamber Artists was established in 1991 by Barlow University of Utah Chamber Choir Bradford and James Lee Sorenson. The ensemble comprises forty singers and forty players who create a balance and so- nority rarely found in a combined choir and orchestra.

  • MAHLER SYMPHONY No
    MAHLER SYMPHONY No. 1 “TITAN” Fresh ! Gustav Mahler MAHLER : S YMPHONY NO. 1 The work recorded here is, of course, known everywhere as Mahler’s First Symphony. That is not, however, what Mahler thought he was writing at the time, and it took him several years to decide quite what he had wrought (and, in the process, to drop one of the movements). Was this a symphony, or did it belong rather to that alternative, more modern category, the symphonic poem? It was as an example of this latter type that the work was performed for the first time, on November 20, 1889, in Budapest, where Mahler had a post as opera conductor—though it was at the city’s main concert hall, the Vigadó, that he conducted his “Symphonic Poem.” At the next performance, in Hamburg four years later, the composition was billed as “Titan, a tone poem in symphony form,” becoming “Titan, symphony” the following year in Weimar, then finally and fully, reduced from five movements to the standard four, “Symphony in D major” in Berlin in 1896. By that time, Mahler had completed his Second Symphony and most of his Third; he knew what he was about. Some of the ambiguity, however, remains. In a tradition going back through Liszt and Berlioz to Beethoven, this is a symphony that by no means discounts narrative, even though its composer was in two minds about how much of the story to reveal, and what story. “Titan,” the title the piece briefly acquired in 1893-4, to be often revived today, presents a conundrum, for at different times Mahler seems to have explained it either with reference to a novel of the same name by Jean-Paul or simply to stand for a strong heroic figure.

Mallarmé’s extraordinarily moody, dense poems hover in the netherworld between conscious thought and the unconscious mind. Rich in allusions and symbols that reveal the hidden world of human eroticism, they were crafted at a time when Freud’s study of the unconscious was changing the way we view erotic impulse. Mallarmé was about twenty years older than debussy, who composed a musical setting for one of Mallarmé’s poems when he was just 22.
