Hubbard, Hall Services Commemorating World War II Throughout the 1994-95 season the Boston Sym- phony Orchestra will be commemorating the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II. To mark this anniversary, the Boston Symphony Orchestra Ar- chives has mounted an exhibition in the two display cases in the Huntington Avenue corridor of the Cohen Wing. The first case holds a display entitled "Silenced Voices: Music Banned by the Nazis," conceived by BSO violist Mark Ludwig, who is mounting a large-scale exhibit under the same name at Brandeis University, sponsored by Brandeis and theTerezin Music Foundation (October 2-November 8). The second case holds a display entitled "The Boston Symphony Orchestra and World War II," which examines the activities of the BSO and Boston Pops prior to and during the United States involvement in the War. Drawing on photographs, programs, newspaper clippings, and other memorabilia preserved in the Boston Symphony Archives, the exhibit highlights, among other events, the "First Concert Performance in the Western Hemisphere" of Shostakovich's Seventh Symphony, given by the TMC Orchestra at Tanglewood on August 14, 1942 (Toscanini and the NBC Symphony had broadcast the American premiere,the previous month); and, pictured here, the War Bond Concert given by Serge Koussevitzky and the BSO at the Boston Garden on December 14, 1944. More than 13,000 people purchased $9,952,122 in war bonds to attend this benefit concert, representing, at the time, the largest amount ever raised at a single indoor orchestral performance in this country.

    Alshire Discography by David Edwards, Mike Callahan & Patrice Eyries © 2018 by Mike Callahan Alshire International Records Discography Alshire was located at P.O. Box 7107, Burbank, CA 91505 (Street address: 2818 West Pico Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90006). Founded by Al Sherman in 1964, who bought the Somerset catalog from Dick L. Miller. Arlen, Grit and Oscar were subsidiaries. Alshire was a grocery store rack budget label whose main staple was the “101 Strings Orchestra,” which was several different orchestras over the years, more of a franchise than a single organization.

    NORTHERN STARS MUSIC FROM THE NORDIC AND BALTIC REGIONS NAXOS • MARCO POLO • ONDINE • PROPRIUS • SWEDISH SOCIETY • DACAPO Northern Stars Often inspired by folk tradition, nature, landscape and a potent spirit of independence, the music of Scandinavia, Finland and the Baltic states is distinctive and varied, with each country’s music influenced by its neighbours, yet shaped and coloured by its individual heritage. Traveling composers such as Sweden’s Joseph Kraus introduced 18th and early 19th century classical trends from Germany and Italy, but with national identity gaining increasing importance as Romantic ideals took hold, influential and distinctive creative lines were soon established. The muscular strength of Carl Nielsen’s symphonies grew out of the Danish nationalist vigor shown by Friedrich Kuhlau and Niels Gade, extending to names such as Per Nørgård today. Gade was a teacher of Edvard Grieg, who owes his position as Norway’s leading composer, at least in part, to the country’s traditional folk music and the poignant lyricism of the Hardanger fiddle. The music of Finland is dominated by the rugged symphonies of Jean Sibelius, and his Finlandia ensured his status as an enduring national symbol. Sibelius successfully combined the lessons of Viennese romanticism with a strong Nordic character, and this pragmatic approach has generated numerous contemporary giants such as Aus Sallinen, Einojuhani Rautavaara, Kalevi Aho and Kaija Saariaho. Turbulent history in the Baltic States partially explains a conspicuous individualism amongst the region’s composers, few more so than with Arvo Pärt, whose work distils the strong Estonian vocal tradition into music of striking intensity and crystalline beauty.

  • Orchestral Works He Had Played in His 35-Year Tenure in the Orchestra

    Orchestral Works He Had Played in His 35-Year Tenure in the Orchestra

    KALEVI AHO ORCHESTRAL WORKS KALEVI AHO – a composer of contrasts and surprises alevi Aho (born in Finland in 1949) possesses one of today’s most exciting creative voices. A composer with one foot in the past and one in the pres- K ent, he combines influences from the most disparate sources and transforms them through his creative and emotional filter into something quite unique. He does not believe in complexity simply for the sake of it. His music always communicates directly with the listener, being simultaneously ‘easy’ yet ‘difficult’, but never banal, over-intellectual, introvert or aloof. In his own words, “A composer should write all sorts of works, so that something will always evoke an echo in people in different life situations. Music should come to the help of people in distress or give them an ex- perience of beauty.” Kalevi Aho is equally natural and unaffected in his symphonies and operas as he is in his intimate musical miniatures. Monumental landscapes painted in broad brush- strokes go hand in hand with delicate watercolours, serious artistic confessions and humour. The spectrum of human emotions is always wide, and he never lets his lis- teners off lightly. He poses questions and sows the seeds of thoughts and impulses that continue to germinate long after the last note has died away. “His slightly unassuming yet always kind appearance is vaguely reminiscent of Shosta- kovich, while his musical voice, with its pluralistic conception of the world and its intricate balance between the deliberately banal and the subtle, is undoubtedly closer to late Mahler.” It is easy to agree with this anonymous opinion of Kalevi Aho.

Ahmas started piano lessons when he was ten, but seven years later changed to the bassoon. For most of the 1980s he was a member of the Finnish Radio Sym phony Orchestra, until he was appointed principal bassoonist of the Lahti Sym phony Orchestra in 1989. In addition to his orchestral work, Ahmas is an active chamber musician. As a com- poser his catalogue of works contains pieces in many different genres: over the years he has written not only three symphonies but also a number of concertos with orchestral accompaniment, orchestral works, works for wind band, a large amount of chamber music, two chamber operas, the score to the music play Itämaan tähti (Star of the East), the six-movement mass Kumartakaa valkeaa (Bow towards the Light) and various arrangements for orchestra, for example of hymns and folk songs. Many of Ahmas’s works have been written in response to commissions but, accord ing to the composer, the First Symphony was composed as the result of a need to write something just for himself, for a change. Ahmas has stated that in general his music does not have an ideological basis: ‘Most important of all are the emotional reactions that the listener has to the music.

    Gala Concert Programme GALA CONCERT OF THE SLOVAK PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA May 4, 2018 8 p.m. Konzerthaus Berlin (Großer Saal) Gendarmenmarkt 5 – 6, 10117 Berlin Slovak Philharmonic Rastislav Štúr, conductor Dalibor Karvay, violin Ján Levoslav Bella: Concert Piece in Hungarian Style Jana Kmit´ová: Secondary Thoughts for Large Orchestra Antonín Dvorˇák: Violin Concerto in A Minor, Op. 53 Allegro ma non troppo – Adagio ma non troppo – Finale: Allegro giocoso ma non troppo Dear friends, It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to this concert of the Slo- vak Philharmonic Orchestra, which is being held to mark the twenty- fifth anniversary of the establishment of the Slovak Republic. The independent Slovak Republic was born a quarter of a century ago – the first democratic state of the Slovaks, of which we can be rightly proud. Slovakia’s story has been anything but straightfor- ward, yet we have come a long way in the past twenty-five years. I can gladly say that Slovakia has been able to make good use of the unique potential of European integration. Over the course of twenty- five years of hard work, we have become a democratic and prosperous country – and a constituent of the safest, freest, most prosperous and best-governed part of the world. On 1st May, Slovakia celebrated 14 years of EU membership. This membership has been a natural homecoming to the family of democratic countries of Europe, from which we, together with other countries in the region, had been ripped out as a result of decisi- ons made by others. Our membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is also crucial, providing a prerequisite for our prosperity by sharing responsibility for common security.
