Wagner Unmasked Handel's NOVEMBER - DECEMBER 2016 I ISSUE 2 WAGNER UNMASKED HANDEL’S MESSIAH E.T. – THE EXTRA-TERRESTIAL, FILM WITH ORCHESTRA wso.ca I 204-949-3999 MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR November and December are months of gratitude, contemplation, celebration, and renewal. In November, we celebrate the freedom of our nation and remember the sacrifices made by many during the wars of the past, and we can all be so thankful for the peaceful nation of opportunity in which we live. Live music performances with the WSO provide time to listen attentively and explore new landscapes created by the music. After one concert, an audience member approached me and said,“I am just so thankful that I am alive and that I heard that music tonight.”Perhaps that is the great gift of the live symphonic experience in our busy distracting lives, it gives us time to reflect and be grateful for the many blessings of our lives. In this period of thankfulness and family celebration, we encourage you to include time for some fine musical explorations with friends and family members to add to your holiday season and truly make the season bright.We also know that many people make annual charitable gifts at this time of year, and WSO staff members would be very pleased to talk with you about projects and opportunities for annual giving or planning for legacy gifts that can support the work of the WSO in our community. More than 30% of the WSO’s annual budget comes through the generosity of the community.This makes it possible to keep tickets affordable, provide educational programs for youth and young adults, and serve our community with celebratory concerts at various points in the year. The best way to experience the WSO for the first time, is to attend with friends or family members who enjoy the experience. As you consider holiday gift options, consider the enjoyment it could bring to friends and family members to attend a WSO concert with you. Dinner & Symphony ticket packages are popular gift items, as are flex packages of tickets, or for this year the Winnipeg Culture Pass is available through the WSO box office for $89. From all of us at the WSO, best wishes for a wonderful holiday season and a new year brimming with good health, great music, and wonderful times with friends and family members.

Critics have noted Alexander’s extraordinary command over the Austro-Germanic repertoire, commenting on the “passion, profundity, emotional intensity, subtlety and degree of perfection achieved” in Bruckner’s Symphony No. 7 as “miraculous” (Anton Kuerti, 2011). Following on from his tenure as Assistant Conductor with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, which he completed in 2004, Alexander Mickelthwate was Associate Conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic for three years, under the direction of Essa-Pekka Salonen. Now in his tenth season as Music Director of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, Alexander has significantly developed the orchestra’s profile through active community engagement and innovative programming initiatives like the annual Winnipeg New Music Festival and the Indigenous Music Festival. Chosen to perform at the Carnegie Hall Spring For Music Festival in New York, May 2014, due to “creative and innovative programming” (CBC Manitoba Scene), the orchestra was the only Canadian ensemble in the showcase. As well as significantly contributing to the Winnipeg New Music Festival and Indigenous Festival, Alexander led the orchestra’s first out of province tour since 1979 to the National Arts Centre in Ottawa, launched the international conducting masterclasses, the New Music Festival 2012 film project and played a major part in the acoustic overhaul of the Centennial Concert Hall. Photographer: Grajewski Fotograph Inc. Julian Pellicano, Resident Conductor Julian Pellicano’s boundless musical appetite makes him a formidable interpreter of the symphonic repertoire as well as a versatile conductor in a wide range of genres. He is currently the Resident Conductor of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, Artist in Residence at the Norfolk Chamber Music festival, and Music Director of the University of Manitoba Symphony Orchestra. Pellicano has built his career by following an unconventional path.The creation, with Dr. Paul Lehrman, of a new performance edition of George Antheil's Ballet Mecanique first brought Pellicano to the public’s attention. From 2009 to 2013 he served as Music Director of the Longy School of Music Conservatory Orchestra where he established a rigorous and distinctive new orchestral program. Pellicano has conducted the Orquestra Sinfonica de Porto Alegre (Brazil), Hartford Symphony Orchestra, Eastern Connecticut Symphony, New Britain Symphony,The Kallisti Ensemble, Boston’s Dinosaur Annex Ensemble and Milwaukee's Present Music. He has worked in masterclasses with Kurt Masur, Peter Eötvös, Zsolt Nagy, Martyn Brabbins, and Carl St. Clair. As a young musician he played drums, percussion, organ, and accordion in rock, blues and jazz groups. An autodidact, he was accepted to the Peabody Conservatory as a percussionist without typical classical training. He also holds degrees from the Royal College of Music (Stockholm), and the Yale School of Music where he was awarded the 2008 Presser Music Award and the Philip F.Nelson Award. He premiered Martin Bresnick’s critically acclaimed opera My Friend's Story at the International Festival of Arts and Ideas and has conducted at Carnegie Hall with the Yale Philharmonia Orchestra.

He recorded two versions of Bach’s great composition—once in 1955 and again in 1981. It is a testament to Gould’s genius that he could record the same piece of music twice—so differently, yet each version brilliant in its own way. Glenn Gould— A State Of Wonder brings together both of Gould’s legendary performances of The Goldberg Variations for the first time in a deluxe, digitally remastered, 3-CD set. Sony Classical celebrates the 70th anniversary of Glenn Gould's birth with a collection of limited edition CDs. This beautifully packaged collection contains the cornerstones of Gould’s career that marked him as a genius of our time.

In 1981 when Carolyn Lomax met with Ann Southam, Mary Gardiner, and others to form what was to become ACWC, little did she and the other Toronto-based composers know that their work would expand to become an association of over 100 members spread across Canada from Vancouver Island to Newfoundland, and from the Northwest Territories to the US and Europe, incorporating musical forms from soundscape to jazz improvisation, song to symphony, largely centred on innovative Western classical styles – music necessary to compose. In the early 80’s when ACWC1 boasted a membership of some 15 – 35 members, few questioned its predominantly European-rooted membership.
