The Boston Symphony premiered the Turangalîla on December 2, 1949, under the baton of Leonard Bernstein. Today this symphony is one of the legendary works of the 20th century. Because of its formidable demands, a performance of it is a rare occasion. And, because of its mind-blowing effects, it is always an unforgettable one. In his almost graphic depiction of the power of love, Messiaen will introduce you to amazing orchestral colors you have never heard before and to a range of dynamics from the edge of audibility to the absolutely deafening. In the musical textures, layers upon layers of different rhythms and melodic themes are superimposed. The best way to take it all in is to simply open up your ears and your heart and drink in the sensual experience. Although much of Messiaen’s music was inspired by religious themes, Turangalîla is one of his secular works: PEABODY a human love story based on the myth of Tristan and Isolde. In the 1940s, the SYMPHONY composer, already married to the violinist Claire Delbos who was now chronically ORCHESTRA ill, met the phenomenal young pianist Yvonne Loriod in a class he taught at Saturday, February 16 the Conservatoire de Paris. The two at 7:30 pm gradually fell in love, and after Delbos’ death in 1962, they finally married. But Joseph Young, conductor at this time, they realized their love was Ruth Blaustein Rosenberg forbidden, just as Tristan and Isolde’s Artistic Director of Ensembles was.

34 OVERTURE / BSOmusic.org RESOUNDING The Campaign for the BSO’s Second Century

Resounding: The Campaign for the BSO’s Second Century is a $65 million campaign to build the BSO’s endowment—sustaining the organization’s growth and vitality and expanding the reach of our innovative and ground-breaking artistic and educational programs. Funds secured through the Campaign will enable the BSO to attract and retain our world-class musicians and guest artists, engage new and diverse audiences and expand the reach of our OrchKids and Baltimore Symphony Youth Orchestras (BSYO) education programs. The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra is enormously grateful to those who are investing in the future of the organization through their support of the Resounding Campaign. We thank the following individuals, corporations and foundations who have made endowment, OrchKids, BSYO and increased annual fund gifts totaling $46.8 million between September 1, 2012 and November 30, 2018 in support of this historic fundraising effort.

For more information on Resounding: The Campaign for the BSO’s Second Century or to make a gift, contact: Angel Terol, BSO Second Century Campaign Director at 410.783.8055 or [email protected].
