Tonight’s concert employs eclectic textures of rhythm and melody combined with virtuosic play- ing and a whirlwind of movement. From the lively tavern-dance csárdás music of 19th century Hungary to the light-stepped fluttering of the French bourrée; from the virtuoso, cinematic Russian ballet of the Firebird Suite, to the energetic and dynamic reinvention of these classics by a trio of hip-hop and inspired musicians, the concert is sure to bring you to your feet.

Our concert begins with Hungarian Dance No. 5. Composed by Johannes Brahms, the Hungar- ian Dances were a set of 21 dance pieces that Brahms based on traditional folk themes. These new pieces were immensely popular when completed in 1869; they brought something innovative and new that simultaneously hearkened back to familiar melodies. While Brahms believed that all of his compositions were inspired by traditional folk tunes, it turns out that “No. 5” was actually based on the csárdás composition by Kéler Béla titled “Bártfai emlék.” Csárdás, roughly “inn-dances,” are songs that were traditionally played within taverns or inns; they lightened up the room with a lively rhythm and melody that an audience could dance to, sometimes raucously, other times in step. In a way, the csárdás was the house or club music of the 19th century, the song you picked on the jukebox to get everyone on their feet. Brahms’ Hungarian Dances caught on like wildfire.

Brahms composed the first 10 of the Hungarian Dances for four-hand piano, and later ar- ranged them for solo piano. This was undoubtedly, another reason for their popularity, as a single pianist in a tavern could play them at the request of his audience. While all the Dances were ubiquitous, Dance No. 5 has seemed to become the most popular.

Our concert does not let up. PROJECT Trio keeps up the pace with their original composition Fast. PROJECT Trio—with on flute, Eric Stephenson on cello, and Peter Seymour on bass— are -based musicians that, as we will hear in their arrangements of classic compositions as well as their own creations, are a perfect fit with the Chicago Sinfonietta. Fast is emblematic of PROJECT Trio’s work: rhythmically complex, melodically innovative and energetic. The musical trio is able to take in an eclectic array of influences and produce something with its own singular voice.

Ironically, while the next PROJECT Trio piece—Bourrée in E Minor for lute by Johann Sebastian Bach—is based on a type of dance, it was never intended to be danced to by its composer! The bourrée was a popular social dance that originated in France and shown in theatrical ballets in the royal court during the reign of Louis XIV. It featured fast little steps with the feet close together, typi- Great performance cally performed en pointe to give the impression that the dancer is gliding over the floor.

We proudly support the Chicago Sinfonietta. Congratulations on a successful The original piece as composed by Bach was even more unconventional, as he wrote his lute pieces in a traditional score rather than in lute tablature, which has led many scholars to 25th Anniversary Season! believe Bach did not perform the lute piece on the lute at all, but on the keyboard! Regardless of its quirky origin and nature, it has gone on to be extremely popular with string instruments and especially guitarists. Its quick, smooth tempo and counterpoint voices—two different strands move independently from each other—make this piece remarkably dynamic. PROJECT Trio’s arrangement highlights these features and brings them to the foreground.

We return to an original composition by PROJECT Trio. Random Roads Suite was originally scored for trio only, but has been arranged by Drew Baker for a “concerto-like setting for solo flute, solo cello, solo and orchestra.” Baker, a Chicago-based composer and pianist, often explores the many sonic identities of conventional and unconventional instrumenta- chase.com jpmorgan.com tions. This arrangement of the Trio’s composition is no exception. Says Baker, “The arrangement is intended to highlight the virtuoso chops of the trio while at the same time creating an intri- ©2012 JPMorgan Chase & Co. cate and coloristic interaction between soloists and orchestra.

spectrum of stylistic influences including jazz, hip-hop and classical. The resultant multihued aesthetic is vibrantly showcased in this four movement work.”

Our next piece comes to us via the brilliant Israeli composer Avner Dorman. According to Dor- man, “The title Spices, Perfumes, Toxins! refers to three substances that are extremely appealing, yet filled with danger. Spices delight the palate, but can cause illness; perfumes seduce, but can also betray; toxins bring ecstasy, but are deadly.” This percussive concerto features Middle- Eastern and orchestral drums, highlighting “a unique sound both enticing and dangerous.” Dorman wanted to create a piece that would be “markedly Israeli and would reflect young Israeli culture.” While developing the piece that would the basis of the first movement of this concerto—Dorman worked with musicians to test out ideas on instruments. This collabora- tion with musicians imbues the composition with an intense liveliness. Tonight’s performance highlights the virtuosic talents of two remarkably young musicians, Eric Goldberg and Shuya Gong, on the marimba and various percussion instruments.

In Dorman’s words, the first movement—Spices—draws its inspiration from the regional music of the Middle-East, Israel, and the Indian subcontinent. “The piece is largely based on Middle-Eastern and In- dian scales and uses the Indian system of Talas for rhythmic organization. I use these elements within a large-scale dramatic form and employ repetitive minimalism as it appears in the music traditions of the East and in the works of Western minimalists of the past forty years.

Fokine began creating the world of the piece, mixing inspiration from various Russian folk tales, including the mythical Firebird and the evil “Sorcerer-Tsar” Kashei the Deathless. For the music, the young, 28-year old Stravinsky was not Diaghilev’s first choice! It was only after a more established composer either turned down the offer (or was working too slowly, depend- ing on the story), that Stravinsky began work and history was made. The ballet (and its accom- panying music) was rapturously successful, skyrocketing Stravinsky into stardom and a role as Diaghilev’s premiere and favored composer.

As you listen to the magnificent piece, it is not hard to imagine the story, as the music gives powerful visual cues. As the ballet begins, our hero—Prince Ivan—enters a magical realm ruled by Kaschei the Deathless. He comes across many magical objects, represented by a chromatic descending motif, racing across the strings. As he wanders into Kaschei’s gardens, he catches a glimpse of the Firebird and gives chase, finally catching the magical creature but promising to free it for its assistance. As the ballet moves on, Prince Ivan meets many princesses, fights Kaschei and his minions, and is saved by the Firebird, who reveals that the only way to defeat the sorcerer is to destroy the magical egg that contains his soul.

CHICAGO SINFONIETTA HISTORY

The year was 1987, and Maestro Paul Freeman had a decidedly different vision of what a symphony orchestra could, and should be. Paul had earned an international reputation through years of guest conducting all over the world and as Music Director of a number of orchestras in the US and Canada. He was the first African American on the podium of over fifty orchestras worldwide and had a huge catalog of recordings to his credit. By the mid-1980s he concluded that the time was right for a mid-sized orchestra dedicated to promoting diversity, inclusion, and innovative programming, and luckily for all of us, he decided that Chicago was the right place to do this.

The Chicago Sinfonietta performed for the first time in October of 1987. Concerts took place in River Forest at Rosary College and downtown at Orchestra Hall. The Sinfonietta was a different type of orchestra from the very beginning. The orchestra members, staff, board of directors, guest artists, and most importantly of all, the audience were of diverse backgrounds. No one had ever seen anything quite like this in classical music. And the music was different. Yes, the Sinfonietta could, and did play the standards to great critical acclaim. But under Paul’s leadership innovative concerts became a part of the Sinfonietta experience.

The rarely performed music by composers of color became a Sinfonietta staple, and intro- duced these symphonic gems to generations of concert-goers. Through recordings like the three-volume African Heritage Series, these lost compositions entered the classical music mainstream and brought acclaim and attention to deserving but unrecognized composers. Unusual instruments and musical styles like the bagpipes, steel drums, sitar, Indian Ghazal music, hip hop, and yes, even the ubiquitous cell phone became the cen- terpieces for some of the most daring musical collaborations any orchestra was program- ming. And partnerships with arts organizations and ensembles including the Luna Negra

As the Chicago Sinfonietta begins the next twenty-five years of presenting one-of-a-kind concerts, inspiring young students to pursue music as a life-long passion or career, and serving as the model for diversity, inclusion and innovation, it is clear that Paul Freeman’s dream of a special orchestra in Chicago has become a reality.

MISSION

The mission of the Chicago Sinfonietta is to serve as a national model for inclusiveness and innovation in classical music through the presentation of the highest quality orchestral unscripted. concerts and related programs. The Chicago Sinfonietta aspires to remove the barriers to participation in, and appreciation of classical music through its educational and outreach programs that expose children and their families to classical music, and by providing professional development opportunities for young musicians and composers of diverse backgrounds enabling new, important voices to be heard. This will help America become a true cultural democracy, in which everyone can share fully in its cultural resources and in which all can contribute to its cultural richness.
