As music director of this great orchestra, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s 127th season. Better than the economy, politics, or verbal languages, music can provide direct communication, tugging at the heartstrings with no need for mediation. In a challenging world, culture is one of the few things we have in our hands to save it. It represents our shared history, and its pres- ervation will teach valuable lessons to help us solve our present problems and seek a brighter future. This season, we perform repertoire that is important to the Orchestra. This includes works by Mozart, Brahms, Bruckner, Schubert, and Rossini, among others. It is necessary that symphonic con- tinue working on the standard repertoire. It is like reading Dante. You don’t read Dante only once. You continue reading it again and again, RICCARDO MUTI and each time you learn more. There are details that you may not have seen earlier because you have changed. Your culture has evolved, and your perspective is different. It is the same for musicians. And, you, the listener, have a similar experience when you hear a work again and feel that evolution for yourself. It is also import that we are part of music’s future through the perfor- mance of new works. This season, we also present many world premieres commissioned by the CSO, including works by Samuel Adams and Elizabeth Ogonek, the Mead Composers-in-Residence, whom I selected three years ago. From the moment you choose the composer to the moment they write, they evolve and can change their styles. They have new ideas, and new concepts of sound regarding how to use the orches- tra due the benefit of their residencies. I look forward to sharing their works written during their time with the Orchestra both with Chicago audiences and on tour this season. When I first conducted the Orchestra in 1973 at the , it made a great impression on me. At that time, I realized it was an ensemble without limits in either technical possibilities or the volume of sound it could make. At the start of last season, when we performed Mussorgsky’s Pictures from an Exhibition, I had a similar experience. The sonority and variety of colors of the entire Orchestra was enormous—I had never before heard anything like it in my life. I am grateful to the musicians of all the orchestras that I have conducted around the world, but this orchestra is unique. Now in my eighth season as music director, the Orchestra continues to amaze me. Welcome to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and “grazie” for your support of this great cultural institution.

Full_Page_Template.indd 1 9/7/17 10:53 AM LETTER FROM THE CHAIR AND THE PRESIDENT

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the 127th season of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Victor Hugo once wrote, “Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.” The Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association celebrates the transformative qualities of music through its commitment to the artistic excellence of the Orchestra, the Chicago Symphony Chorus, the Symphony Center Presents series, and the educational programs of the Negaunee Music Institute including the Civic Orchestra of Chicago. Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti has curated a season that represents diverse compositional styles spanning five centuries. Works by romantic and classical composers such as Dvořák, Tchaikovsky, Bruckner, and Schubert are well represented along with those by an array of iconic and contemporary American composers. This includes three world premieres of CSO com- HELEN ZELL Chair missions, beginning in October with All These Lighted Things by CSO Mead Board of Trustees Composer-in-Residence Elizabeth Ogonek. This also marks the twentieth Chicago Symphony season of MusicNOW, our new-music concert series. The October 2 con- Orchestra Association cert, MusicNOW @ 20 Years, features works by all six of the CSO’s past composers-in-residence. In addition, we celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of the Chicago Symphony Chorus this season. Since 1957, the Chorus has made it possible for the CSO to expand its musical offerings both on stage and through many acclaimed recordings. An anniversary tribute by resident scholar Phillip Huscher appears on page 8, and more Chorus features will be made avail- able throughout the season in program books and special displays and on csosoundsandstories.org. As part of our history of representing Chicago across the country and around the world, Muti leads the Orchestra on two major U.S. tours this season. In October, the Orchestra performs in Kansas City, Missouri, and tours California, playing eight concerts, including a three-concert residency in Berkeley and its debut at the Walt Disney JEFF ALEXANDER President Concert Hall in Los Angeles. In February, Muti takes the Orchestra on Chicago Symphony an East Coast tour, including two performances at ; a return Orchestra Association to the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.; and concerts in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and Naples and West Palm Beach, Florida. Back home on Michigan Avenue, we promise you a season filled with hundreds of life-enriching performances by the world’s best musicians in the beautiful setting of Orchestra Hall. You and your family and friends are in for a treat whenever you attend a Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association presentation, and we appreciate your patronage. Thank you for your support of live music. We hope to see you often at Symphony Center during our 127th season.

This splendid ensemble has become such a vital part of this city’s musical life that itT is hard to believe our orchestra gave concerts for more than sixty years without it. Almost as soon as the Orchestra’s founder, Theodore Thomas, settled in as music director in 1891, he began campaigning for a permanent ensemble to perform great land- marks of choral music. His dream at last became a reality in 1957, when music director convinced , then director of the New York Concert , to put together a chorus to perform with the Orchestra, forming the ensemble as we know it today. The public debut of the Chicago Symphony Chorus in March 1958 coincided with the final Chicago appearance of the legendary conductor , who had chosen Mozart’s as his The Chicago Symphony Chorus swan song.

name has since become synonymous with the ensemble, as he has retained the qualities that made it famous, further extended its range, and made it his own. Over the years, the Chorus has developed a reputation and a following far beyond Orchestra Hall. It has appeared with the Orchestra in Carnegie Hall and at the London Proms, the Fesstage, and the Festival. Under Reiner in 1959, the Chorus made the first of many classic recordings—Prokofiev’s Alexander Nevsky, still in the catalog more than half a century later—and it has since recorded not only the great choral master- works, but also complete , including Verdi’s on CSO Resound conducted by music director Riccardo Muti.

Polska Music Program of the Adam Mickiewicz Institute

The Polska Music program actively supports performances of Polish classical music by renowned international artists worldwide, aiming to increase its popularity across the globe. During the 2017–18 season, Polska Music has generously supported the CSO’s performances of The Awakening of Jacob by renowned Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki. In addition to initiating international stage productions and concerts, commissioning new work, and nurturing contem- porary composers, Polska Music also promotes recordings, books, and events. Polska Music has collaborated with a host of high-profile partners around the world, including the Baltimore, London, and BBC symphony orchestras, the London and Los Angeles philharmonics, Berliner Philharmoniker, Chandos Records, Cité de la Musique–Philharmonie de Paris, Lincoln Center Festival, , Münchener Kammerorchester, and the Philharmonia Orchestra. The Polska Music program was launched in 2011 by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute —a national cultural institution aiming to strengthen Polish cultural impact and to benefit international cultural exchange. From 2017 until 2021, the institute will coordinate the international cultural program accompanying Poland’s centenary of regaining independence— POLSKA 100. The program will include the very best of Polish culture with more than a hundred cultural projects ranging from film productions to exhibitions, theater, and music performances.
