They regularly perform at their home in the Zoellner Arts Center on the campus of Lehigh University and have performed at various international ven• ues in Europe, Asia and South America and Africa. Last year, the orchestra celebrated the Mahler centennial year with a memorable rendition of his first symphony, a performance that was cited by the Morning Call as one of the ten best performances of the year in the Lehigh Valley. The orchestra also champions student achievement, presenting each February a marathon of concerto movements where all orchestra members have a chance to play a concerto movement.
The orchestra's programming focus is the historically important main orchestral repertoire, ranging from Bach to Barber and every• thing in between. New multi-media presentations of such works as the Nutcracker Suite and The Emperor and the Nightingale have earned the orchestra a reputation for originality. Pioneering new music is also a focus. In the past few years the orchestra presented several North American and world premieres, as well as a yearly concert featuring works of Lehigh University student composers. Lehigh University Philharmonic Music Director Eugene Albulescu is an award• winning performer and conductor who has steered the Lehigh University Phil• harmonic for the past four years. Among his conducting accomplishments are a stint as director of the French Chamber Orchestra while on tour during 2008- 2010, as well as several performances and recordings with top orchestras including the Romanian National Philharmonic, New York Chamber Orchestra, as well as the New Zealand Symphony, which released his recent recording of Jenny McLeod's "Rock Concerto" on the Naxos label. As a pianist, Albulescu is a Steinway Artist who combines a blazing technique with the artistic integrity and originality to express musical emo• tions at their most personal level. He started his piano studies in Romania at the age of six, at the Enescu Music School in Bucharest. His family moved to New Zealand in 1984 to escape Romania's Communist regime.
Albulescu completed his musical studies at Indiana University where, at nineteen, he was the youngest person ever to reach the level of assistant instructor. He emerged on the international scene in 1994 when his debut CD was awarded the International Grand Prix Liszt, adding Albulescu's name to the list of winners which include Brendel, Arrau, Horowitz and Bolet. Since then Albulescu has performed worldwide, including concerts at the Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concerts in Chicago, Bargemusic in New York, the Purely Piano series in Auckland, New Zealand, the Stern Audito• rium at Carnegie Hall in New York, as well as the International Liszt Festival of the American Liszt Society. Having been invited to the White House to perform for the Millennium celebrations, he also performed at the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. Cel• ebrated critic Harold C. Schonberg hailed Albulescu' s "power and infallible fingers of steel," declaring that "nothing anywhere has any terrors for him." Artist Linda Ganus is a graduate of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and is active as an artist and musician in the New York and Lehigh Valley areas. She received her MFA in drawing, printmaking and new media at Vermont College of Fine Arts in Montpelier in 2008, and also studied drawing and painting at the New York Studio School and anatomical drawing at the New York Academy of Art. Ms. Ganus is interested in exploring and combining traditional art techniques and practices such as drawing and printmaking with contemporary practices including video and sound art, frequently collaborating with her husband Eugene Albulescu on projects that combine art and music. Their multi-media performance of Schumann's Carnaval was presented last year at a conference held at Indiana University. She has received two full fellowships for residencies at the Vermont Studio Center, and is a member of New Century Artists Gallery in New York. Ms. Ganus is an adjunct faculty member in the Music Departments at Lehigh University and Moravian College, and teaches a freshman seminar at Lehigh on Music and Art collaborations.
Dr. Silagh White comes to Lehigh with a rich and diverse background in the arts, as performer, administrator, and community volunteer. White came to Lehigh University in 2005 to be the director of an arts engagement program called Arts Lehigh. As an all-university program, Arts Lehigh's mission is to promote, facilitate, and integrate the arts, creativity and an aesthetic sensibility in the curriculum, the campus environment, and in partnership with the local community. White is deeply committed to encouraging all students, faculty and staff to exercise their creativity, and embrace the arts as a path of inquiry. She is grateful for the opportunity to continue performing bassoon with the Lehigh University Philharmonic. She serves on the Visual Arts Advisory Board for ArtsQuest, the Bethlehem Fine Arts Commission, WDIY Public Radio Community Advisory Board, Eastern Pennsylvania Arts Alliance. She is currently Chair of Education for the Celtic Cultural Alliance, and is VP Secretary for the Ulster American Society. She currently lives in Bethlehem with her husband Stephen White, and is the proud mother of eight year old twins, to whom she reads books at bed time whenever she can. Violinist Austin Hartman has distinguished himself as both chamber musician and soloist with performances throughout the United States and abroad. Having served for twelve seasons as founding first violinist of the Biava Quartet, Mr. Hartman was the winner of the Naumburg Chamber Music Award and has performed to acclaim in important venues throughout North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia, including Alice Tully Hall, Carnegie Hall, the Library of Congress, the Kennedy Center, Wigmore Hall, and the Baroque Art Hall in Seoul. Other highlights from recent seasons include appearances at the Mostly Mozart, Rockport and Aspen Music Festivals, Chautauqua Institution, and Pacific Music Festival in Japan. Mr. Hartman has earned much recognition as a solo violinist having appeared twice with the Philadelphia Orchestra and was awarded the Gold Medal Prize at the Stulberg International String Competition. He has recorded for the Naxos and Cedille labels and has been heard on London's BBC Radio 3. Austin Hartman has earned Artist Diplomas from both the Juilliard School and YaleSchool of Music as well as degrees from the New England Conservatory and Cleveland Institute of Music.
Flutist Ashley Steen is from Stroudsburg, Penn• sylvania. She has performed in many states and countries as both a flautist and a singer. In high school, she was the first person in the history of Stroudsburg Area School District to be accepted into the MENC All-Eastern National Honor Band, and performed with the ensemble in Providence, Rhode Island. In the summer of 2002, she toured Europe as the first chair flautist of the Sound of America National Honor Band, performing in var• ious cities throughout Italy, Switzerland, France, Germany, Luxembourg and Austria. Ms. Steen earned a Bachelor of Music degree in Music Education from Moravian College in 2007. During her time at Moravian, she participated in many ensembles, including the marching band, orchestra, wind ensemble, flute ensemble, flute trio, and flute and guitar ensemble. She auditioned for the Lehigh University Philharmonic Orchestra and began performing with the ensemble in her junior year of college, and the Lehigh Philharmonic now welcomes Ms. Steen as a full• time community member of the orchestra. PROGRAM NOTES
McLeod: The Emperor and the Nightingale The Emperor and the Nightingale was commissioned by the Vector Wellington Orchestra (then the Wellington Sinfonia) in 1985. The piece was intended for a family concert under Sir William Southgate as part of the 1986 New Zealand International Festival of the Arts, which is held for 2-3 weeks over the summer every other year in Wellington, New Zealand. The piece was revised in 2010 from the 1986 version for a new recording by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, with the piece slightly lengthened and some new voicings added. In particular, the solo flute part was elabo• rated to the point where the piece is almost a mini flute concerto. The composer chose The Nightingale by Hans Christian An• dersen as the title story for several reasons: for the artistic freedom to put the text in her own words as felt appropriate with the music without the need to seek permission. She also felt the humor of the story is easily relatable for children, being an entertaining story poking fun at pompous characters and silly people and reminding the audience of the beauty and power of living over mechanical music given freely rather than caged and forced. Since its premiere, The Emperor and the Nightingale has been performed by a number of other regional and youth orchestras all around New Zealand. In one case, for the sake of political correct• ness, the gender of some of the characters were changed, so the Emperor became an Empress and the little kitchen girl was instead a little kitchen boy, although the sentiment of the story still remains the same. In any case, the piece remains for the young at heart, with its clear exuberance, warmth and tunefulness.
Tchaikovsky: Nutcracker Suite Until about the middle of the twentieth century, the Nut• cracker Suite, op. 71a, forever immortalized in the famous Disney movie Fantasia, was among the most popular of all concert works. In December of 1891, impressed by his opera Pique Dame (The Queen of Spades), the Imperial Opera Directorate commissioned Tchaikovsky to write both a one-act opera and a ballet for the fol- lowing season. The ballet was to be based on E.T.A. Hoffman's story The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, a selection which Tchai• kovsky detested. He wasn't much happier with the final result of the ballet, characterizing it as "infinitely poorer than The Sleeping Beauty." The Nutcracker Suite was the only suite of his three ballet · scores that Tchaikovsky arranged himself. The suite premiered in St. Petersburg on March 19, 1892, a month before the score of the ballet itself was finished. The motivation behind rushing to pre• miere the suite was not anticipation about the ballet itself but rather in the interest of being the first of his fellow composers to use a newly-created instrument, the celesta, in a piece of music in Rus• sia. Tchaikovsky first heard the celesta (a percussion instrument with a sound similar to the glockenspiel, but with an appearance like a piano) in Paris in 1891 and was immediately captivated by its "divinely beautiful tone." He had been experiencing difficulty with "the absolute impossibility of depicting the Sugarplum Fairy in music," but the celesta proved to be the perfect solution. Upon returning home, he arranged for his publisher Pyotr Jurgenson to have one sent to Russia secretly, because he was afraid Rimsky• Korsakov and Glazunov would get hold of it and use the unusual effect first. Tchaikovsky's desperation to be assured of being the first composer in Russia to introduce the celesta prompted him to incor• porate the instrument into the tone poem The Voyevoda, a piece he had fully sketched but not yet scored. His dissatisfaction with the piece caused him to order the score burnt during the intermission of its premiere. But as he had expected, Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy," the movement in which the instrument can be heard, made such an impression at its premiere that it had to be encored, although the ballet itself did not enjoy such success nine months later. The Miniature Overture and March movements of the Nut• cracker Suite are from the first of the ballet's two acts. The remain• ing six sections come from the divertissement in the Land of Sweets of the ballet. The Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy, the movement which made the celesta famous, is still the most celebrated use of the in• strument in all music, though the suite's other sections are no less spectacular because of Tchaikovsky's use of musical substance and mastery of orchestral color. - Program Notes by Emilia Silebi, '13 "The Nutcracker" Synopsis
Our Nutcracker story is a little bit different...told from the Nut• cracker's point of view that starts from a special mystical point in the universe ... where the magical Nutcracker looks down from his home in the sky each year to find a world full of wonder to visit at Christmastime.
Clara, who is impatiently waiting up on Christmas eve, looks up at the starry sky in anticipation before going to bed. The Nutcracker leaves his post among the night sky constellations and travels down as a shooting star to Clara's home, disguising himself as a present.
Clara and her sisters wake up, excited, the next morning and open presents under their beautiful tree. They find a pair of skates, a camera, a music box, and the dashing Nutcracker, who is Clara's favorite.
The music box opens to reveal a lovely sugar plum fairy, who danc• es an enchanting pas de deux with her own reflection.
Clara tries out her new camera on the Nutcracker, and he dashes off to pose with many familiar landmarks around the neighborhood.
The Nutcracker continues on his wild adventure and finds himself in the arabian desert...as he trudges onward, he wonders whether the landscape is real or a mirage. The landscape itself morphs as the desert winds change to snow gently falling on a mountain peak.
A mountain hawk spies the Nutcracker against the snowy back• ground, and carries him off; however, the clever Nutcracker frees himself and parachutes to land in a surrealistic land of musical scores, instruments, and an army of mice!
Eventually the Nutcracker returns that same evening, and Clara takes her favorite nutcracker toy to watch her skate. As midnight approaches, the nutcracker disappears and returns magically back to his constellation. The LU Philharmonic Orchestra: A personal view.
The Lehigh University Philharmonic Orchestra is an extraordinary group of music lovers of all ages, coming together to study and perform great music. My impression of the group comes from years of experience observing them, both from within and without, as they form a common consciousness. The group is a most interesting hybrid. The primary mission is educa• tional. The Lehigh Orchestra is a student ensemble first and foremost. The students experience the repertoire, not unlike a music appreciation class (especially since only three or four music majors perform in the ensemble at any one time - the rest major in other disciplines, and simply take music very seriously!). The class entails far more work than the nominal one-credit students receive each semester. It also func• tions as a University Club, complete with officers,activities, and fun. Several Lehigh students only join the orchestra as members of a club since their credit hours have reached the maximum. In addition to the student body, the orchestra could not exist without other help. First, several community members augment various sections such as strings, brass, etc. These members are vital for the forces to be adequate in each section. They also provide an important "glue" of continuity - some of them have been members of the orchestra for the past ten years. Without them, the sound of the ensemble would change far more drastically every year, when we lose about a quarter of our students who graduate, and gain about the same number of freshmen. Some com• munity members come from other colleges, we even welcome some serious high school students! Everyone seems bound by their loyalty to the music they perform, and the emerging loyalty to the ensemble itself. We are also fortunate to have in the orchestra several members of the LU faculty and staff. The faculty often come from other disciplines, such as English, Engineering and Chemistry. We also have some Music Department Faculty perform• ing side by side with their students. This provides a unique hands-on training that is vital for a student's experience. In addition, we sometimes hire additional players from the pool of professionals in the Lehigh Valley and beyond. These forces aug• ment what we already have, and also provide students with an incredible learn• ing experience performing side by side with top professionals, learning the most important skills in musicianship in a direct way. Therefore, it is difficult to simply designate the group as a student group, although the primary mission is still an educational one, since the group functions first and foremost as a class. It has been an honor to help steer this group for the past several years. The ensemble is now conscious of its own character, of the mission it has to the larger community, and of the intense discipline the love of music requires in order to bring the music itself alive to an audience. Our service function is therefore extremely seri• ous. The Orchestra has been made aware of the high degree of service it provides to the larger community through performances that touch the audience through mean• ingful sounds. The group thrives well when it is unified both in purpose and in sound. In this sense, my biggest drive has been to instill a passion for unity, for inclusion, and for the relentless pursuit of a common goal. We hope you, the audience will enjoy the fruits of these labors; you are just as important in closing the circuit for our edu• cational function, helping us study the music through bringing it alive for you.
