ONLINE SUMMER FESTIVAL JULY 17– SEPT 13 2021 the Center for Chamber Music On stage from your living room! ONLINE SUMMER FESTIVAL JULY 17– SEPT 13 2021 The Center for Chamber Music JAMES EHNES, Artistic Director 1 WELCOME 2021 Summer Festival Dear Friends, Welcome to the Seattle Chamber Music Society’s 2021 Summer Festival! Making music for a camera and a microphone is a different experience than performing live, and when we created our first streamed festival in July 2020, we didn’t imagine we would be doing the same thing a full year later. But sharing streamed content, from our “living room” to yours, has brought its own unique joys, and with these in mind we have focused this season on bringing you, our beloved audience, a special mix of musical masterpieces that I feel accentuate the close, personal nature of musical communication that makes chamber music unique. With beloved masterpieces by Felix Mendelssohn, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Johannes Brahms, lesser-known gems by Florence Price, George Walker, and Amanda Röntgen-Maier, and music of today by Aaron Jay Kernis, Stewart Goodyear, and SCMS commissioned composer Jocelyn Morlock, our programs truly have something for everyone. Thank you for joining us for what is sure to be an unforgettable musical journey! JAMES EHNES Gilbert Omenn and Martha Darling Artistic Director 2 Celebrating Executive Director CONNIE COOPER Connie Cooper with Board member Celebrating SCMS’s 35th Season Jim Penney Established in 1982, Seattle Chamber Music Society (SCMS) was started by Founding Artistic Director Toby Saks to bring friends to the city to play great chamber music. The fledgling organization gained popularity and grew quickly from a short series into 12 concerts throughout the month of July. By 1996 Seattle Chamber Music Society (SCMS) had established itself as a leading presenter of chamber music at Lakeside School with a robust roster of musicians and a loyal, enthusiastic audience. As Acting Executive Director for short periods in years preceding, Connie Cooper took over as the full-time Executive Director in the fall of 1996, growing the once four-week summer concert series to robust year-round programming. Connie notes that “the changes we’ve made have been thoughtful and organic and have nearly always assured success.” When Benaroya Hall opened in 1999, it was important to find a way to be involved with the new concert hall. After a couple of trial concerts outside of the typical July window, the Winter Interlude series was born. This new series, which started as three concerts, expanded into the six main concerts over two weekends that now comprise the Winter Festival. The Summer Festival at Lakeside School continued to have great success with demand outgrowing the space. For 7 years, the summer series expanded to include two more weeks of concerts at The Overlake School in Redmond. This location captured a similar bucolic setting found at Lakeside. However, news that Lakeside 3 Celebrating Connie Continued... SCMS Patron Trip to Santa Fe in 2011 (Cooper front row, far left and Toby Saks front row, third from left) was planning new summer programming meant that SCMS was in need of a new venue for the 2010 Summer Festival. After an extensive search for a performance space, it made sense to consolidate all of the concerts at Benaroya Hall. Connie recalls that, “for the first year, we offered outdoor meals and had the concert music piped outside Benaroya Hall in the Garden of Remembrance. Neither worked particularly well, so we stopped trying to replicate Lakeside and fully embraced being downtown.” Following the move downtown, Toby Saks started the process of stepping down as Artistic Director. In 2012, James Ehnes, a long-time Festival musician, became the new Artistic Director. Connie managed the smooth transition of Artistic Directors and established a strong working relationship with James that has helped further expand how SCMS thought about reaching audiences. This led to scaling up park programming including Chamber Music in the Park, a live concert with Festival musicians at Volunteer Park attracting more than 3,000 people annually, and the growth of Music Under the Stars with live concert broadcasts in partnership with KING-FM into local parks throughout Seattle. Pre-pandemic, in 2019 the program had grown to five parks serving communities in West Seattle, Columbia City, Yesler Terrace, Capitol Hill, and downtown Seattle. This program helps fulfill our mission to make chamber music accessible for everyone in spaces that are inviting and welcoming. When news that SCMS’s administrative offices were being sold, Connie and James envisioned an opportunity for the organization to grow substantially. 4 Connie helped lead the effort for an ambitious, and highly successful, $5-million-dollar capital campaign which expanded SCMS’s footprint beyond office space to include rehearsal rooms and a small performance space in downtown Seattle. Completed in early 2020, the Center has allowed us to thrive as we collectively navigated the global pandemic. When concert halls closed down, we were able to pivot and use the Center for Chamber Music as a Connie Cooper with Artistic Director James Ehnes hub for musicians, turning the space into a recording studio for the past three concert series. In the future, it will serve as a resource for the community offering creative year-round programming that includes special concerts featuring Festival musicians, residencies and master classes for students, and much more. Connie took over the Executive Director role in 1996 when SCMS offered 12 main series concerts and had an operating budget of under $225,000 a year. After 25 years serving in this leadership role, she has helped expand the number of concerts to 18 per season, plus 18 pre-concert recitals, a free outdoor concert, 2 Family Concerts, and added a number of community engagement programs, started an endowment, helped secure a new home with the Center for Chamber Music, and expanded the operating budget to over $1.5 million a year while maintaining a balanced budget year after year with no accumulated deficit. Looking back over the past 25 years, Connie notes, “Seattle Chamber Music Society has grown from its origins as a modest summer festival in a bucolic setting at Lakeside School to a thriving organization presenting exceptional chamber music performances live at Benaroya Hall and online on demand, reaching audiences throughout the area, and around the country and beyond. With the growth of our year-round community engagement programs, and with the opening of our new Center for Chamber Music downtown, SCMS is poised to bring chamber music experiences to more people than ever, here in Puget Sound and across the globe.” If you would like to make a gift in honor of Connie Cooper and support Seattle Chamber Music Society’s Annual Fund, please visit our website at seattlechambermusic.org/give 5 VIRTUAL PROGRAM Season Sponsor: David and Amy Fulton Festival Sponsors: Nicholas J.

Recordings with Non-Vocal Works 72 Alphabetical by composer or record title IV: Recordings with Works in Miscellaneous Formats 76 Alphabetical by composer or record title Sources 81 Acknowledgments 83 5 Preface The American poet Emily Dickinson (1830-1886), unknown in her lifetime, is today revered by poets and poetry lovers throughout the world, and her revolutionary poetic style has been widely influential. Yet her equally wide influence on the world of music was largely unrecognized until 1992, when the late Carlton Lowenberg published his groundbreaking study Musicians Wrestle Everywhere: Emily Dickinson and Music (Fallen Leaf Press), an examination of Dickinson's involvement in the music of her time, and a "detailed inventory" of 1,615 musical settings of her poems. The result is a survey of an important segment of twentieth-century music. In the years since Lowenberg's inventory appeared, the number of Dickinson settings is estimated to have more than doubled, and a large number of them have been performed and recorded. One critic has described Dickinson as "the darling of modern composers."1 The intriguing question of why this should be so has been answered in many ways by composers and others.
