His highly collaborative style, deeply rooted musical curiosity, and boundless enthusiasm, paired with a fresh approach to orchestral programming, have been heralded by critics and audiences alike. The New York Times has called him “phenomenal,” adding that under his baton, “the ensemble, famous for its glowing strings and homogenous richness, has never sounded better.” Highlights of his fourth season include a year-long exploration of works that exemplify the famous Philadelphia Sound, including Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 and other pieces premiered by the Orchestra; a Music of Vienna Festival; and the continuation of a commissioning project for principal players. Yannick has established himself as a musical leader of the highest caliber and one of the most thrilling talents of his generation. He has been music director of the Rotterdam Philharmonic since 2008 and artistic director and principal conductor of Montreal’s Orchestre Métropolitain since 2000. He also continues to enjoy a close relationship with the London Philharmonic, of which he was principal guest conductor. He has made wildly successful appearances with the world’s most revered ensembles, and he has conducted critically acclaimed performances at many of the leading opera houses. Yannick Nézet-Séguin and Deutsche Grammophon (DG) enjoy a long-term collaboration. Under his leadership The Philadelphia Orchestra returned to recording with two CDs on that label; the second, Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini with pianist Daniil Trifonov, was released in August 2015. He continues fruitful recording relationships with the Rotterdam Philharmonic on DG, EMI Classics, and BIS Records; the London Philharmonic and Choir for the LPO label; and the Orchestre Métropolitain for ATMA Classique. A native of Montreal, Yannick studied at that city’s Conservatory of Music and continued lessons with renowned conductor Carlo Maria Giulini and with Joseph Flummerfelt at Westminster Choir College. Among Yannick’s honors are appointments as Companion of the Order of Canada and Officer of the National Order of Quebec, a Royal Philharmonic Society Award, Canada’s National Arts Centre Award, the Prix Denise-Pelletier, and honorary doctorates from the University of Quebec, the Curtis Institute of Music, and Westminster Choir College.

The Grammy Award winner and Musical America 2012 “Instrumentalist of the Year” is sought after throughout the world for concerto appearances with leading orchestras and conductors as well as recital performances. He began the 2015- 16 season performing Korngold’s Violin Concerto with the Berlin Philharmonic and Zubin Mehta. Upcoming performance highlights include Bach’s First and Second Violin Concertos with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Gustavo Dudamel, Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto with the New World Symphony and Cristian Măcelaru, and performances in Carnegie Hall with the Philadelphians (October 13), and for solo works by Bach accompanied by newly commissioned films by David Michalek (October 25). Mr. Shaham is in the seventh season of a long- term exploration of 1930s violin concertos and this performance of Bartók’s Violin Concerto No. 2 is informed by that project. In 2014 he released the double album 1930s Violin Concertos (Vol. 1), which was recorded live with the New York Philharmonic, the Boston and BBC symphonies, and the Staatskapelle Dresden. He has more than two dozen concerto and solo CDs to his name. His recent recordings—including 2015’s Bach: Sonatas and Partitas; 2014’s Music to Drive Away Loiterers; and 2013’s Nigunim: Hebrew Melodies, featuring traditional and modern Jewish music performed with his sister, pianist Orli Shaham—are produced on the Canary Classics label, which he founded in 2004. Born in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, in 1971, Mr. Shaham moved with his parents to Israel, where he began violin studies at the age of seven, receiving annual scholarships from the America-Israel Cultural Foundation. In 1981, while studying with Haim Taub in Jerusalem, he made debuts with the Jerusalem Symphony and the Israel Philharmonic. In 1982, after taking first prize in Israel’s Claremont Competition, he became a scholarship student at Juilliard. He was awarded an Avery Fisher Career Grant in 1990 and in 2008 he received the coveted Avery Fisher Award. Mr. Shaham lives in New York City with his wife, violinist Adele Anthony, and their three children. He plays the 1699 “Countess Polignac” Stradivarius. 32 Framing the Program Composers over the course of the 19th century and Parallel Events beyond began to pay ever more attention to the historical 1874 Music and cultural traditions of their own nations.

  • Peer Gynt: Suite No. 1 Instrumentation: Piccolo, 2 Flutes, 2 Oboes, 2
    Peer Gynt: Suite No. 1 Instrumentation: piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, strings. Duration: 15 minutes in four movements. THE COMPOSER – EDVARD GRIEG (1843-1907) – Grieg spent much of the 1870s collaborating with famous countrymen authors. With Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, the composer had hoped to mount a grand operatic history of King Olav Tryggvason but the two artists soon ran afoul of one another. A possible contributing factor was Grieg’s moonlighting project with Henrik Ibsen but, in truth, Bjørnson and the composer had been nursing hurt feelings for a while by the time the latter began to stray. THE MUSIC – As it turned out, Grieg’s back-up plan was more challenging than rewarding at first. He was to compose incidental music that expanded and stitched together the sections of Ibsen’s epic poem. This he did with delight, but soon found the restrictions of the theatrical setting more a burden than a help creatively. “In no case,” he claimed, “had I opportunity to write as I wanted” but the 1876 premiere was a huge success regardless. Grieg seized the chance to re-work some of the music and add new segments during the 1885 revival and did the same in 1902. The two suites he published in 1888 and 1893 likely represent his most ardent hopes for his part of the project and stand today as some of his most potently memorable work. Ibsen’s play depicted the globetrotting rise and fall of a highly symbolic Norwegian anti-hero and, in spite of all the aforementioned struggles, the author could not have chosen a better partner than Grieg to enhance the words with sound.

  • Edvard Grieg's Orchestral Style
    Bjarte Engeset: EDVARD GRIEG’S ORCHESTRAL STYLE - a conductor’s point of view Good morning, everybody! Edvard Grieg (1843–1907) wrote the following after he had performed his Norwegian Peasant Dances (Slåtter) op. 72: I played them with all my love and all my troll magic. 1 Jeg spillede dem med al den Kjærlighed og Troldskab, jeg ejede. In the written introduction to Slåtter he uses similar word pairs describing the music: «their combination of nice and pure grace with bold power and untamed ferocity».2 In such associative word pairings, close to value-laden concepts like God and Devil, Culture and Barbarism, Grieg reveals his aesthetics. I therefore use this contrastive sentence as disposition for this study of Grieg’s universe of orchestral sonorities: [1] «Love» (Colour) «A World of Sonorities» «The Path of Poetry» «Imbued with the one great Tone» «The transparent Clarity» «This Natural Freshness» «Troll magic» (Contour) «Rhythmical Punctuation» «Brave and bizarre Phantasy» «The Horror and Songs of the Waterfall» These symbol loaded bars from Night Scene in Peer Gynt op. 23, depicts in a condensed way this universe: Example 1: Night Scene (Peer Gynt op. 23), bb. 19–23. [2] Grieg here links very different colours. The first augmented chord is dominated by a stopped horn note marked fp, floating into a soft and bright A-major chord marked pp, with a typical sound of two flutes and two clarinets. We are entering a world rich of associations and contrast. Grieg had a great concern for the element of sound colour, so the lack of research in this particular field is both surprising and motivating.

  • The Ugly Duckling
    The Ugly Duckling Introduce your students to the story of The Ugly Duckling. We suggest some of these beautifully illustrated books, which can be found at your local library or bookseller or online at Amazon.com: this story by Hans Christian Andersen emphasizes that others should value people for their inner beauty, since you cannot tell what people are truly like based on appearances alone. The music from Once Upon a Symphony is found on this Spotify playlist. Here’s how the music helps to tell the story: o Morning Mood from Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 by Edvard Grieg . This piece sets the summer scene of Mother Duck waiting patiently on her nest for her ducklings to hatch. o The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi . Autumn - This music expresses the daily life on a farm and the joy of the harvest. Winter – This piece illustrates the cold winter weather and the cold, lonely Duckling. Spring – The warm sun returns and the Ugly Duckling realizes that he is actually a beautiful swan. o The Blue Danube by Johann Strauss II . With this piece, the ducklings discover the thrill of swimming in the pond. o The Swan by Camille Saint-Saëns . During this iconic music, The Ugly Duckling watches his parents soar overhead as he rejoices in the discovery that he is a swan. o Holberg Suite, Op.40, Rigaudon by Edvard Grieg . This music celebrates the beauty that lives in each of us. As your students listen to Morning Mood, have them pretend that it is early in the morning and they are just waking up.
