2 ORLANDO PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA | 2019–2020 SEASON WELCOME Dearest Orlando, I’m excited to begin my fifth season with the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, continuing our journey of excellence and exploration that we’ve undertaken together since I began as your Music Director. This season we celebrate the American Virtuoso, honoring the spirit of adventure and cultural inclusivity that term represents. I’m looking forward to making music with all the virtuosos of our great orchestra, and with guest artists as diverse as legendary saxophonist Branford Marsalis — amazing fiddler Jeremy Kittel — multidimensional vocalist Alicia Hall Moran — and groundbreaking violin virtuoso Jennifer Koh. I look forward to bringing to you two new ways to share the music we all love so much. We’ll take a deep dive into Berlioz’s infamous Symphonie Fantastique, with a guided tour through the piece followed by a complete performance in November’s Inside the Score event. And, with Resonate, we’ll mix it up even more, combining the grandeur of the full orchestra with the intimacy of the salon via the genius of Mozart and contemporary composer Lisa Bielawa at The Plaza Live.

This season, our composer-in-residence will be the multi-talented modern-day troubadour Gabriel Kahane. Equally comfortable in the worlds of folk-pop and classical, Gabriel has worked with and , appeared at Carnegie Hall and the Hollywood Bowl, and been commissioned by the Academy of Music and the Philharmonic, to name just a few. His piece emergency shelter intake form, confronting the resurgence of deep poverty in America, and in particular, the national crises of housing insecurity and homelessness, will be the centerpiece of our March classics program; featured performers will be a choir of members from the Central Florida homeless community. Emergency shelter intake form shines an essential light on our society through music that will inspire, bring hope, and stir the soul.

In our FAIRWINDS Classic Series, we’ll be sharing beloved works of Barber, Beethoven, Gershwin, Mahler, Ravel, Shostakovich, Strauss, Tchaikovsky and Vivaldi — AND bringing you thrilling new discoveries by Anna Clyne, Missy Mazzoli, George Walker, Wang Jie, and Eric Whitacre. We’ll also have masterful performances by Concertmaster Rimma Bergeron-Langlois and Principal Flutist Colleen Blaglov.

Our Pops Series once again promises to break expectations and dazzle audiences, featuring Cuban rhythms, the music of Aretha Franklin, holiday family favorites, and Broadway standards. Highlights include a 50th Anniversary tribute to Woodstock featuring Jeans ‘n Classics bringing life to the sounds of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Santana, Janis Joplin, and the Who. And back by popular demand, Cirque de la Symphonie will close our Pops Series with tunes from Broadway.

Philharmonic musicians will be featured soloists on the Focus Series at The Plaza Live, with special performances by Rimma Bergeron-Langlois (concertmaster), Diane Bishop (principal bassoon), Colleen Blagov (principal flute), Nikolay Blagov (principal clarinet), and Jamie Strefeler (principal oboe). We’ll also hear from renowned guest artists Awet Andemichael, soprano, and Bridget Kibbey, harp. I look forward to having all of these talented musicians on the stage in the 2019-2020 Season.

Enjoy the concert! We’re so glad you’re with us!
