Maestro Groner's 2017/ 18 SEASON MAESTRO GRONER’S Grand Finale FVSO 51ST SEASON OUR LEAD SPONSORS Resident Partner of the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center FROM THE MAESTRO Welcome to the 51st season of the Fox Valley Symphony Orchestra! his season marks my final season as Music Director and Conductor of this fine orchestra T and each program is filled with pieces which I sincerely want to share with the audience. All the soloists chosen are wonderful artists with whom I have worked before and they feel like part of my extended family. Before I auditioned for this orchestra, I did a good deal of research, asking many people in the region what they thought about the FVSO and the community which supported it. Fox Cities residents shared that this is a place that works hard to give their children a good musical education and that the community shows strong support for its orchestra. That convinced me to BRIAN GRONER apply (with well over 100 of my colleagues) and I Music Director happily found that both things were (and are) true. & Conductor Music changes lives. Whether you are a creator of the music, a listener or a supporter of the arts in general, it has a powerful impact on all of those involved. Maintaining a strong orchestra takes great effort, but orchestras are worth every bit of the energy it takes to sustain them to keep them alive and healthy. This community understands that, and as a result this orchestra will continue to nourish souls, inspire noble visions, and create a clearer sense of who we are and what we dream of being for a very long time to come. There are too many people I wish to thank for the truly memorable years I have spent as Music Director of this ensemble. I will make certain that I share my gratitude to them in person, but for now please allow me to say to each of you a humble thank you for allowing me to be part of this very special place. Thank you for allowing me to make music with this wonderful group of musicians who are now my colleagues and friends.

  • The Ethics of Orchestral Conducting
    Theory of Conducting – Chapter 1 The Ethics of Orchestral Conducting In a changing culture and a society that adopts and discards values (or anti-values) with a speed similar to that of fashion as related to dressing or speech, each profession must find out the roots and principles that provide an unchanging point of reference, those principles to which we are obliged to go back again and again in order to maintain an adequate direction and, by carrying them out, allow oneself to be fulfilled. Orchestral Conducting is not an exception. For that reason, some ideas arise once and again all along this work. Since their immutability guarantees their continuance. It is known that Music, as an art of performance, causally interlinks three persons: first and closely interlocked: the composer and the performer; then, eventually, the listener. The composer and his piece of work require the performer and make him come into existence. When the performer plays the piece, that is to say when he makes it real, perceptive existence is granted and offers it to the comprehension and even gives the listener the possibility of enjoying it. The composer needs the performer so that, by executing the piece, his work means something for the listener. Therefore, the performer has no self-existence but he is performer due to the previous existence of the piece and the composer, to whom he owes to be a performer. There exist a communication process between the composer and the performer that, as all those processes involves a sender, a message and a receiver.

  • Mcallister Interview Transcription
    Interview with Timothy McAllister: Gershwin, Adams, and the Orchestral Saxophone with Lisa Keeney Extended Interview In September 2016, the University of Michigan’s University Symphony Orchestra (USO) performed a concert program with the works of two major American composers: John Adams and George Gershwin. The USO premiered both the new edition of Concerto in F and the Unabridged Edition of An American in Paris created by the UM Gershwin Initiative. This program also featured Adams’ The Chairman Dances and his Saxophone Concerto with soloist Timothy McAllister, for whom the concerto was written. This interview took place in August 2016 as a promotion for the concert and was published on the Gershwin Initiative’s YouTube channel with the help of Novus New Music, Inc. The following is a full transcription of the extended interview, now available on the Gershwin channel on YouTube. Dr. Timothy McAllister is the professor of saxophone at the University of Michigan. In addition to being the featured soloist of John Adams’ Saxophone Concerto, he has been a frequent guest with ensembles such as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Lisa Keeney is a saxophonist and researcher; an alumna of the University of Michigan, she works as an editing assistant for the UM Gershwin Initiative and also independently researches Gershwin’s relationship with the saxophone. ORCHESTRAL SAXOPHONE LK: Let’s begin with a general question: what is the orchestral saxophone, and why is it considered an anomaly or specialty instrument in orchestral music? TM: It’s such a complicated past that we have with the saxophone.

    SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 2017 Mozart’s “Classical” European tour? A TuWELCOMEn TO THE YOUNGe PEOPLE’SU CONCERTS!TM p! It’s the last stop on our journey through The Ages of Music — the Modern Age of Music! Beginning around 1900, composers started looking for radically new ways to express themselves in sound. Every ten years a whole new style of music was born. Some composers even created new sounds by looking back and reinterpreting music of the Baroque, Classical, or Romantic ages. The American composer John Adams has invented never- before-heard sounds and explores past styles. Today we’ll find out how to recognize Modern music, in particular what makes Adams’s music sound the way it does. Get ready to discover the huge sonic world of the modern orchestra, and for some dizzying time travel. Today, all the Ages of Music come together in sounds that transcend time.

Johnson Overview Following the minimalist tradition, much of John Adams's' music consists of long passages employing a single set of pitch classes (pcs) usually encompassed by one diatonic set.2 In many of these passages the pcs form a single diatonic triad or seventh chord with no additional pcs. In other passages textural and registral formations imply a single triad or seventh chord, but additional pcs obscure this chord to some degree.
