Elgin Symphony Orchestra 2018-19 Season Calendar Web Edit The Elgin Symphony Orchestra Announces Its 2018/19 Season The ESO - Transforming the Symphony Experience Music Director of the Elgin Symphony Orchestra (ESO) Andrew Hilary Grams announces the ESO’s 68th season, which marks Grams’ sixth as music director. The season features many of the great classical masterworks and lesser-known hidden gems. Also featured are contemporary works by American composers John Corigliano and Mason Bates, Chicago Symphony Orchestra Composer-In-Residence from 2010-15. Seven (7) works will receive their ESO premieres. The season also includes the ESO debut of Joshua Roman, cello; the return of popular favorites like Natasha Paremski, piano, and highlights the solo talents of ESO musicians, concertmaster Isabella Lippi and horns Greg Flint and Steve Replogle. Two (2) Pops concerts are set for the season, including an evening of waltzes and polkas conducted by Music Director Grams - A Night in Old Vienna - on January 26 and 27, 2019. Andrew Grams leads six (6) weeks of subscription programs with the ESO during the 2018/19 season, and will present Musically Speaking Pre-Concert Chats before each Classics Series performance. Bates’ Cello Concerto, Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 2, Corigliano’s Troubadours Variations for Guitar and Chamber Orchestra, Mahler’s Adagio from Symphony No. 10, Kodály’s Peacock Variations, Telemann’s Concerto for Two Horns and Two Violins and Villa-Lobos’ Concerto for Guitar and Small Orchestra are all receiving their ESO premieres this season. Grams will also conduct a Pops concert - A Night in Old Vienna. Andrew Grams and the ESO will host two (2) of the ESO’s popular, new Inside the Music with Andrew Grams events, lively and informal 90-minute presentations that use musical excerpts to explore famous musical masterworks. Music Director Andrew Grams, a brilliant communicator, leads the discussion, with the Orchestra illustrating points by playing sections of the piece, and then pulling-it all together with a full performance of the work. This season, Inside the Music will examine Richard Wagner’s monumental dramatic opera cycle, The Ring, and Mozart’s Symphony No. 41 or Jupiter, the last, the longest, and considered by many, the greatest of Mozart’s symphonies. “We crafted a season for you that offers great traditional masterworks, new exciting pieces from composers of this generation, and lesser known treasures that deserve a hearing - all served-up in the casual and informal environment our audience demands,” says Music Director Grams. “At the ESO, was are working to ‘transform the symphony experience.’ Whether that be by me speaking informally from the stage at a concert, by staff working hard to be welcoming, or by creating a more informal concert format, our popular Inside the Music events, which are designed to show newcomers how great orchestral music works its magic on us, we at the ESO are dedicated to creating the highest quality entertainment experience.” The ESO Classics Series contains works by Bach, Bates, Beethoven, Brahms, Bruch, Chopin, Copland, Corigliano, Haydn, Kodály, Mahler, Mozart, Schumann, Smetana, Richard Strauss, Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky, Telemann, Villa-Lobos & Wagner. Music Director Andrew Grams opens the ESO 2018/19 season on September 15 and 16 with Mason Bates’ Cello Concerto, an ESO premiere featuring the ESO debut of cellist Joshua Roman. The concert also includes Chopin’s Grand Valse Brillante and Stravinsky’s ground-breaking The Firebird Suite (1919). Andrew Grams will also conduct five (5) more ESO concerts: Concerts on November 3 and 4 hold works by three German titans of classical music - Beethoven, Strauss and Wagner. Andrew Grams conducts the program, which begins with Beethoven’s Fidelio Overture from his only opera, Fidelio, and also includes orchestral excerpts from Wagner’s The Ring and Richard Strauss’ Four Last Songs, sung by soprano Laura Wilde, a recent graduate of The Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Opera Center at the Lyric Opera of Chicago. Grams will host the first of two Inside the Music with Andrew Grams on Friday, November 2, providing insight into Wagner’s The Ring. ESO audience favorite, pianist Natasha Paremski, returns to perform in concerts highlighting Romantic composers Brahms, Chopin and Schumann February 9 and 10. The program opens with Brahms’ Academic Festival Overture. Ms. Paremski will play Chopin’s shimmering Piano Concerto No. 2 and the program closes with Schumann’s Symphony No. 4. On March 23 and 24, Music Director Andrew Grams will conduct a program featuring two Baroque composers and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, one of the greatest composers of all time. The first half of the program holds Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 3 and Telemann’s Concerto for Two Horns and Two Violins, featuring ESO Principal Horn Greg Flint, ESO Horn Steve Replogle and ESO violins, TBA. The concerts close with Mozart’s Symphony No. 41 or Jupiter Symphony. On Friday, March 22, Grams will host Inside the Music with Andrew Grams, diving deep into Mozart’s Jupiter Symphony. The season finale concerts on May 4 and 5, led by Andrew Grams, highlight the award-winning Elgin Symphony Orchestra, which has won Illinois Professional Orchestra of the Year a record-setting four times from the Illinois Council of Orchestras. The program holds the ESO premiere of Mahler’s Adagio from Symphony No. 10 and American composer Aaron Copland’s final symphony, No. 3, which includes the theme from his work Fanfare for the Common Man. In addition, on January 26 and 27, Andrew Grams will conduct the Pops concert, A Night in Old Vienna, a program of waltzes and polkas reminiscent of Vienna’s famous New Year’s concert. ESO Listener Clubs, hosted by music historian Jim Kendros, are offered the Wednesday before Classics Series performances at the Gail Borden Public Library in Elgin and GreenFields in Geneva. Free and open to the public, Kendros discusses the composers and the music that will be presented in upcoming concerts. And all Saturday night concertgoers are invited to “Mingle with the Musicians” after the show at area restaurants, where they can meet Music Director Grams, guest artists and ESO musicians. Resident Conductor Stephen Squires will conduct three (3) programs during the 2018/19 season: On October 5 at the Schaumburg Prairie Center for the Arts, and October 6 and 7 at the Hemmens Cultural Center, Squires will lead the ESO, the Elgin Master Chorale and guest soloists TBA in the Pops concert, American Spectacular, a musical salute to America, honoring the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. Squires will lead Classics concerts on January 11 at Schaumburg Prairie Center for the Arts and January 12 and 13 at the Hemmens Cultural Center that feature Haydn’s Symphony No. 94 or “Surprise” Symphony, Kodály’s exotic Peacock Variations and Anton Bruch’s famous Violin Concerto No. 1, one of the most popular violin concertos in the repertoire, performed by ESO concertmaster Isabella Lippi. Squires will conduct the ESO’s holiday concerts, Sounds of the Season, a popular Fox Valley tradition, on December 8 and 9. These extravaganza performances include soloists, dancers, the Elgin Master Chorale and an appearance by a very special visitor from the North Pole. Guest conductor Teddy Abrams, Music Director of the Louisville Orchestra, leads a Classics program of guitar favorites on March 2 and 3. Jason Vieaux, guitar, will perform Villa-Lobos’ Concerto for Guitar and Small Orchestra and Corigliano’s Troubadours Variations for Guitar and Chamber Orchestra. The program also includes Smetana’s The Moldau and Tchaikovsky’s Francesca da Rimini. The ESO will also offer a variety of programming for young people and their families during the 2018/19 season. Ainsworth Concerts for Youth will bring around 9,000 area students to Hemmens Cultural Center with the ESO providing teachers guides prior to the performances to enhance the concert experience.

  • Invigorating the American Orchestral Tradition Through New Music
    FEARLESS PROGRAMMING: INVIGORATING THE AMERICAN ORCHESTRAL TRADITION THROUGH NEW MUSIC Octavio Más-Arocas A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS August 2016 Committee: Emily Freeman Brown, Advisor Timothy F. Messer-Kruse Graduate Faculty Representative Marilyn Shrude Kenneth Thompson © 2016 Octavio Más-Arocas All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Emily Freeman Brown, Advisor Despite great efforts by American composers, their prodigious musical output has been mostly ignored by American orchestras. Works by living American composers account for an annual average of only 6% of all the music performed by American orchestras, while works by living composers of all nationalities combined totals a meager 11%. This study examines some of the historical breaking points in the relationship between American orchestras and new music. Five exceptional orchestras are cited, the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Atlanta Symphony, and the Seattle Symphony, that are thriving while successfully incorporating new music in their programing. This document draws attention to the significant role new music can play in the future of American orchestras by analyzing the programing of new music and projects that support composers, identifying innovative orchestral leaders and composers who have successfully served in advisory positions, and by recognizing and discussing the many creative strategies orchestras are using today. This document attempts to increase the understanding of the need for change in concert programing while highlighting several thrilling examples of innovative strategies that are making an essential contribution to the future of orchestral music.

  • Cryptogenic Infrastructure Fantasy : Composer Sebastian Chang
    Cryptogenic Infrastructure Fantasy: ​ composer Sebastian Chang explains all by Mike Telin Every composer has their own way of approaching their craft. “When I write a piece, whether it’s for orchestra or chamber ensemble, I want everybody to have a moment in the spotlight,” Sebastian Chang ​ ​ said during a telephone conversation. “Most of the time that works out great and results in something that is fun to play. But when Alex asked me to write a timpani part, that pretty much changed everything.” On Saturday, June 30 at 7:30 pm at the Maltz Performing Arts Center, clarinetist Franklin Cohen, violinist Diana Cohen, timpanist Alexander Cohen, and pianist Roman Rabinovich will perform the world premiere of Chang’s Cryptogenic Infrastructure Fantasy (CIF) as part of ChamberFest ​ ​ Cleveland’s season finale. “Dawn of a Revolution” will also include Debussy’s Violin ​ Sonata, and David Shimotakahara’s choreography of selections from Ligeti, Beethoven, ​ Ravel, Pärt, Shostakovich, and Ginastera, performed by GroundWorks Dance Theater. Tickets are available online. ​ ​ ​ Chang, who serves as pianist and resident composer for the Louisville Orchestra, began writing CIF with a mission to correct an injustice that orchestral timpanists often ​ ​ experience. “They usually rest for 300 bars, then play a single note just to punctuate a big moment. They don’t get a lot of time in the spotlight and I wanted to fix that with this composition.” But as he began writing the eight-minute work, Chang said he noticed that something strange was happening. “The timpani got greedy. It said, ‘I’m going to take over.’” The composer also noticed that the violin and clarinet parts were acting bizarrely.

The season concerts will feature innovative local and world premieres, collaboration with a renowned Gospel choir, a number of guest appearances by emerging stars in the orchestra world, and the culmination of a moving and powerful exhibit of violins rescued from the Holocaust. “We have a season-wide mission to combine cutting-edge projects with storytelling that connects with our shared human—and local—experiences,” Abrams said. “Some of our upcoming major projects include premieres of collaborations with dance, theater, and visual artists. We want the Louisville Orchestra to be a central forum for creativity.” Reconnecting the orchestra with its remarkable past while reestablishing it as the cornerstone of today’s vibrant Louisville music scene, Abrams’s “tireless advocacy and community outreach” is, Listen magazine notes, “putting the history-rich Louisville Orchestra – and classical music – back on the map.” For the opening Classics weekend of the new season, Abrams will lead the LO in concerts welcoming popular violinist ANNE AKIKO MEYERS and up-and-coming musical powerhouse violinist ELENA URIOSTE (Sep 27/28).
