Juneau Symphony Performance History 1963-2014 Juneau Symphony Performance History 1963-2014 The Juneau Symphony was founded by music teacher Cliff Berge as the Juneau Symphonette in 1962 and first performed in the spring of 1963. Later known as the Juneau Little Symphony and, after 1970, simply as the Juneau Symphony, the group has usually performed three main stage concerts each year in the autumn, winter and spring, and has frequently toured throughout Southeast Alaska. Over the years, the Symphony has also sponsored other events and participated with other arts groups. A Children’s Concert was added in 1980 and since at least the mid 1990s this concert has been incorporated into the schedule of the winter or spring concert which features the winner of the Symphony’s annual youth concerto competition. For many years, the Symphony performed at graduation ceremonies at the University of Alaska Southeast (UAS or previously UAJ, the University of Alaska – Juneau) and collaborated with the Juneau Lyric Opera. Since the early 1990s, the Symphony Showcase has allowed members to perform as soloists or in chamber groups. A summertime pops concert was added in 2001. Following is a list of known concert dates, locations, and programs compiled by Juneau Symphony board members Greg Williams and Bob King from saved programs, news clippings, and other sources. The primary venue has been the Juneau-Douglas High School auditorium (JDHS) except where noted. An asterisk (*) indicates when the soloist performed as winner of the symphony’s student concerto competition. These student performances were usually limited to a single movement of the concerto. -RWK April 19, 2005 1962/63 Season April 1963 (first concert) Cliff Berge, conductor • Wagner – Tannhauser Overture 1963/64 Season May 14, 1964 – JDHS (third concert) Cliff Berge, conductor • Handel – Overture to Sampson • Strauss – Tales from the Vienna Woods • Leroy Anderson – A Trumpeter’s Lullaby with Ron Maas, trumpet • Handel – Minuet • Frescobaldi-Kindler – Toccata • Cimarosa – Concerto in G Major, Janet Gellert, flute; Mary Pierce, violin; Sallie Swift- Carter, piano • Haydn – Symphony No. 11 in G Major “Military” Last Updated 3/18/2014 Juneau Symphony Performance History Page 2 of 38 1964/65 Season Cliff Berge, conductor 1965/66 Season Cliff Berge, conductor 1966/67 Season April 4, 1967 – JDHS Cliff Berge, conductor • Wagner • Verdi • Enesco • Dvorak • Mussorgsky • Sibelius • Leroy Anderson – The Waltzing Cat 1967/68 Season October 27, 1967 – Petersburg October 28, 1967 – Wrangell October 29, 1967 – Ketchikan December 10, 1967 (?) – JDHS • Wagner – Tannhauser Overture • Frescobaldi – Toccata • Tchaikovsky – Sleeping Beauty • Anderson – Waltzing Cat • Matesky – When Johnny Comes Marching Home • Romberg – Student Prince Overture • Wagner – Rienzi Overture • Enesco – Romanian Rhapsody No. 1 • Brahms – Allegretto from Symphony No. 2 • Verdi – prelude to La Traviata • Dvorak – Slavonic Dance • Mussorgsky – Great Gate of Kiev 1968/69 Season November 26, 1968 – JDHS Cliff Berge, conductor Juneau Symphony Performance History Page 3 of 38 February 11, 1969 – JDHS Cliff Berge, conductor • Handel – Overture to Samson • Schubert – Symphony No. 8 in b minor, “Unfinished” • Schubert – Ballet Music No. 2 from Rosamunde • Peter DeRose – Autumn Serenade • Bizet – l’Arlesienne Suite No. 2, minuet and farandole • Handel – Music for the Royal Fireworks April 8, 1969 – JDHS Cliff Berge, conductor • Haydn – “Surprise” Symphony • J.

  • Marco Polo – the Label of Discovery
    Marco Polo – The Label of Discovery Doubt was expressed by his contemporaries as to the truth of Marco Polo’s account of his years at the court of the Mongol Emperor of China. For some he was known as a man of a million lies, and one recent scholar has plausibly suggested that the account of his travels was a fiction inspired by a family dispute. There is, though, no doubt about the musical treasures daily uncovered by the Marco Polo record label. To paraphrase Marco Polo himself: All people who wish to know the varied music of men and the peculiarities of the various regions of the world, buy these recordings and listen with open ears. The original concept of the Marco Polo label was to bring to listeners unknown compositions by well-known composers. There was, at the same time, an ambition to bring the East to the West. Since then there have been many changes in public taste and in the availability of recorded music. Composers once little known are now easily available in recordings. Marco Polo, in consequence, has set out on further adventures of discovery and exploration. One early field of exploration lay in the work of later Romantic composers, whose turn has now come again. In addition to pioneering recordings of the operas of Franz Schreker, Der ferne Klang (The Distant Sound), Die Gezeichneten (The Marked Ones) and Die Flammen (The Flames), were three operas by Wagner’s son, Siegfried. Der Bärenhäuter (The Man in the Bear’s Skin), Banadietrich and Schwarzschwanenreich (The Kingdom of the Black Swan) explore a mysterious medieval world of German legend in a musical language more akin to that of his teacher Humperdinck than to that of his father.

Every ballet company that performs it – including Ballet Nebraska – has its own Nutcracker with its own special touches. But behind them all is the same story… the story is the one on which Te Nutcracker is based. In fact, The Story Behind the Story Dumas’ version of Te Nutcracker is why many Nutcracker storybooks call the main character “Marie” instead of “Clara.” Te Nutcracker is one of the most-loved ballets of all time.
