SARTORIAL SYMPHONY BSO musicians debut new orchestral DEVELOPMENT garments created in collaboration with Asfour and his team Parsons School of Design conducting the final fitting with BSO musicians. uring the final subscription concert weekend of the 2017–18 season, the BSO musicians unveiled new garments as part of a project that was spearheaded by Marin Alsop and Parsons professor and designer Gabi Asfour. D“I am so thrilled with the new garments that Gabi and his team have created, which rework traditional aesthetics in a new, forward- thinking way,” says Alsop. “Our partnership with Parsons has been FINAL incredibly unique and educational, and I hope our project serves as a model for other orchestras in the future.” In 2012, Asfour began working with BSO musicians to develop the new orchestral garments. Through extensive research of traditional orchestral garments, formal wear, traditional tailoring and innovative fabric technology, the ensembles were created with Percussionist John Locke and a specific focus on functionality. The design team incorporated Principal Second hi-tech fabrics to enhance breathability and prevent overheating. Violinist Qing Li model Asfour’s With input from OnPoint Manufacturing, Body Labs and Direct designs. Dimensions, all of the musicians underwent 3D body scanning in order to enable precise body measurement for the garments. “What excited me the most during this project was formalwear needing to perform as active wear,” says Asfour. “My students and I created several prototypes that led to the final outcome.” The project was made possible, in part, through underwriting from Mr. Tomio Taki and from a donor who wishes to remain anonymous.

SYMPHONY NO. 3 IN E-FLAT MAJOR Ludwig van Beethoven Born in Bonn, Germany, December 16, 1770; died in Vienna, Austria, March 26, 1827

Although the responses to Beethoven’s music are as varied as the individuals who listen to it, virtually everyone seems to agree that it often embodies an ethical or spiritual quest: the drama, in Scott Burnam’s words, “of a self struggling to create and fulfill its own destiny.” And this epic quest is most forcefully expressed in the works Beethoven wrote during the first decade of the 19th century—what we now call his “Heroic Period.” Historically, this was also an era of heroism and aspiration. The American and French revolutions had recently acted out humankind’s desire for freedom and self-determination and thrust forward leaders such as Washington and Bonaparte. background have been annihilated, there seventh variation, the tempo slows a bit, Beethoven translated this aspiring remains no desire for self-expression.” and the piano intones in stark chords the spirit into music.

In movement three, Sibelius continues his exploration of rhythmic energy. Fast hopping rhythms give this scherzo music an airborne quality. Again the melodic ideas are simple rising and falling scales. Sibelius keeps shifting his instrumental colors like the prisms in a kaleidoscope, and at the end he finally unleashes the brass for the first time in this quiet work. The finale opens like the first movement with violins singing a descending-scale melody; they are answered antiphonally by low strings on an ascending scale. The pace suddenly shifts upward to Allegro molto. This energetic music is repeated, gaining in force and confidence. However, its climax trails off abruptly for the return of the opening violin music. This too builds, but again Sibelius deflects the climax.
