May 5, 2016 3 4 May 5, 2016 Message from the Music Director Dear Friends, It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to our final concert of the season. photo by Rodrigo de Souza We are delighted to be partnering with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in commissioning Mark Grey’s Frankenstein Symphony. Mark, who is based in the Bay Area, was commissioned by the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels to write an opera by the same name, based on Mary Shelley’s famous novel. The opera will receive its premiere later this year. From his opera, Mark extracted thematic elements to create the dynamic symphony that you will hear this evening. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with Mark in his capacity as a sound designer for various operatic productions and I am so pleased to conduct one of his works. A few years ago I heard of a very gifted young violinist, Simone Porter, who was starting to turn heads in Los Angeles. She joins us tonight performing one of the best-known violin pieces of all time. Tchaikovsky’s concerto was written in 1878 and is a great example of virtuosity and beauty. It is a great pleasure to combine the three—Tchaikovsky, Porter and our own Berkeley Symphony—in what I am sure will be a most memorable season finale. Thank you for being with us throughout another exciting year. I can’t wait to see you again in October! Much love, Joana Carneiro May 5, 2016 5 6 May 5, 2016 Message from the Board President Spring Greetings! With this, our exciting “MONSTROUS” program, we conclude our 2015/16 season at Zellerbach Hall. But the activity at photo © Margaretta K. Mitchell Berkeley Symphony never stops. We continue to nurture the next generation of music lovers and ambassadors of the arts through our Music in the Schools program. After providing classroom instruction for nearly a quarter of a century in the local elementary schools, we have successfully grown into all three Berkeley public middle schools with one- on-one music instruction. Our Berkeley Symphony & Friends chamber music series is thriving with full capacity audiences filling the Piedmont Center for the Arts at each of our concerts. We are excited to share our new season with you this evening. Be sure to pick up a copy of our 2016/17 season brochure at the tables in the lobby after tonight’s performance. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I thank YOU, our eager and loyal audience, for your continued enthusiasm and support for Berkeley Symphony. I cannot say often enough that without you, we would not be here, bringing innovative and internationally acclaimed programs to the Berkeley-and-beyond community! Tricia Swift May 5, 2016 7 8 May 5, 2016 Message from the Executive Director Greetings and Welcome! Tonight’s concert marks the end of another successful Berkeley Symphony season in which we introduced you to three new works—two West photo by Marshall Berman Coast premieres and one U.S. premiere. Mark Grey’s inventive Frankenstein Symphony, which you will hear this evening, is the second of our two West Coast premieres and is a piece that we co-commissioned with our colleagues at the Atlanta Symphony. Last fall we introduced you to Kaija Saariaho’s delightful Laterna Magica; and who can forget the U.S. premiere performance of Fachwerk by Sofia Gubaidulina with the amazing bayan player Geir Draugsvoll. He was only one of our four exquisite soloist this season, including tonight’s 2015 Avery Fisher Grant recipient, Simone Porter. Please take note of the 2016/17 Season postcard inserted into your program tonight. We’ve planned another dynamic season of “you heard it here first” pieces, with a world premiere commission by our friend Paul Dresher; the west coast premiere of a piece by the Scottish composer James MacMillan, co-commissioned with the BBC Scottish Symphony and Pittsburgh Symphony; and the Bay Area premiere of Mason Bates’ Cello Concerto. Then we close next season with the epic Shostakovich Symphony No. 13, “Babi Yar” to commemorate the 75th anniversary of this infamous time in history. We hope that you will join us at all four performances and consider purchasing a season subscription. All of this is made possible by your dedication to eclectic programming and your zeal for the unexpected. Thank you for being a vital part of our Berkeley Symphony family.
