6 knoxville symphony orchestra welcome from our music director

Dear Beloved Audience Members, Thank you for being a part of yet another astonishing season of music at the Knoxville Symphony. We started a little bit early this year with an inspiring collaboration with the Clarence Brown Theatre on Leonard Bernstein’s Candide, and now, with the great momentum of this experience at our backs, we launch full steam ahead into this season of great classics, new discoveries, and exciting milestones. To open our Moxley Carmichael Masterworks Series, I am overjoyed to welcome one of the true treasures of the musical world, Joyce Yang, back to Knoxville. Joyce is a powerful, elegant, magnetic artist who radiates joyous warmth both on and off stage, and she headlines a program Aram Demirjian featuring two warhorses. While at first blush, it may seem that the only thing Brahms’ First Symphony and Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto have in common is the key of C minor, each composer endured similar emotional trials in writing them. Brahms required over two decades to complete his First Symphony, so heavily did he bear the self-imposed burden of living up to the symphonic legacy of his predecessor, Beethoven; Rachmaninoff similarly suffered crippling anxiety while composing his Second Piano Concerto, and it was not until he spent time with a psychologist that he was able to complete the piece, which became his most popular work. I think the human vulnerability and yearning of these pieces is one of the reasons they resonate with so many listeners. The youthful turbulence running throughout this program is first stirred with a stunning overture by American composer Jonathan Leshnoff. Starburst is true to its name: a fiery burst of symphonic energy that has been performed by dozens of orchestras across the country, and we are delighted to present its East Tennessee debut. “A Touch of France” examines Haydn’s legacy, using one of his six “Paris” symphonies as a point of departure. These symphonies were commissioned by French court musician Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, who was one of the greatest violinists of his time and one of the first composers of African descent in Western classical music history. Bologne’s music is tragically underperformed, and we are eager to feature one of his violin concertos performed by KSO Associate Concertmaster, Gordon Tsai. Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw’s Haydn-inspired “Entr’acte” takes us ‘through the looking glass’ in the composer’s words, and we wrap up the program with yet another “Paris” symphony by a young upstart contemporary of Haydn and Bologne. You may have heard of him: Wolfgang Amadé Mozart. I feel so grateful to begin this season, in which we rediscover music from the past, explore how it is relevant to our present and look forward to the new compositions that will shape our artistic future. We are glad you will be participating in this journey. Listen boldly! Sincerely,

Aram Demirjian

34 knoxville symphony orchestra annual fund The Gift of Music

The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra is truly thankful for your support, which makes a major impact on our service to the East Tennessee region. Along with creating excellent music and performing in the traditional venues, 80% of the KSO’s time is spent not within the concert halls, but out in the community. Our Orchestra performs in school classrooms, libraries, hospitals, city parks, and churches, and reaches more than 200,000 children and adults each year. Since many of these concerts and programs are offered at low or no cost, your financial contribution is essential to support all that we do.

The KSO is proud to be the oldest continuously performing orchestra in the Southeast, and a vital component of the cultural tapestry that makes Knoxville such a special and distinctive place in which to live, work, and play.

The KSO gratefully acknowledges the following pledges and gifts received between December 2017 and July 2018.
