SUMMARY:Influence of the World: The Tucker-Boatwright Concert
DESCRIPTION:As a grand finale to conclude the University of Richmond’s Tucker-Boatwright Festival\, the Richmond Symphony Orchestra and Chorus will present a concert of works inspired by non-Western traditions featuring the world premiere of a new work for chorus and orchestra by Reena Esmail as part of our Altria Masterworks series. \nDespite disliking the term “impressionism” applied to his music\, Debussy describes his three Nocturnes in almost painterly terms: Nuages (Clouds) renders the immutable aspect of the sky and the slow\, solemn motion of the clouds\, fading away in gray tones slightly tinged with white. Fetes (Festivals) gives us the vibrating\, dancing rhythm of the atmosphere with sudden flashes of light. But the background remains persistently the same: the festival with its blending of music and luminous dust participating in the rhythm. Sirenes (Sirens) depicts the sea and its innumerable rhythm. Among the waves\, silvered by moonlight is heard the mysterious song of the Sirens as they laugh and pass on. Work on the Nocturnes was not easy for Debussy. His personal life was a wreck. In financial trouble and broken up from his longtime mistress\, he wrote\, “The three Nocturnes have been infected by my private life\, first full of hope\, then full of despair\, and then full of nothing!” \nLike Debussy\, Ravel is classified as an impressionist composer. His Rapsodie espagnole\, is saturated with musical color; almost as breathtaking as the color of the impressionist painters. There is a certain vagueness of form in the music that is reminiscent of Monet and Turner. “Suggestion and atmosphere” are key ideas for the musical impressionists. Ravel’s fascination with Spanish culture is heard throughout the piece\, permeated with the flavors of Spanish music. \nIn the late 1920s\, the Canadian composer Colin McPhee “quite by accident heard [a] few gramophone records that were to change [his] life completely. The clear\, metallic sounds were like the stirring of a thousand bells\, delicate\, confused\, with a sensuous charm\, a mystery that was quite overpowering.” McPhee moved to Bali where he quickly absorbed the culture. He started incorporating Balinese materials into his own music. Tabuh-Tabuhan was his first large-scale orchestral work to use Balinese musical material. Interested in fusing western orchestral traditions with Balinese motifs\, McPhee considers it a purely personal work. \nLearn more about Joanne Kong\, Keyboard.\nLearn more about Paul Hanson\, Piano.\nLearn more about Reena Esmail\, Guest Composer.\nLearn more about Steven Smith\, Conductor. \nProgram Notes \n  \nSeries Sponsor \nConcert Sponsor \nConcert Partner \nMedia Sponsor \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Richmond Symphony at West Creek
DESCRIPTION:More room for more fun! Join the Richmond Symphony for an exciting concert at Hardywood West Creek. The Richmond Symphony will be collecting donations in support of our music education programs in Goochland County Public Schools.This concert features works by Copland\, Schubert\, and Spohr\, with soloist David Lemelin\, Clarinet. \nCopland paved the way for a truly American “classical” music\, beginning with his work Music for the Theatre. Despite its title the composer admitted he “had no play or literary idea in mind. The title simply implies that at times this music has a quality which is suggestive of the theatre.” The budding nationalism that comes to fruition in Copland’s later works is evident in this piece. Copland turned to jazz to represent the American identity: “I was preoccupied with the idea of adding to the great history of serious music something with an American accent… [Jazz] was an easy way to be American.” \n“Party Animal” isn’t quite the term that should be used to characterize Franz Schubert\, but it is close. In his twenties\, producing prodigious amounts of music\, he lived the life of a “bohemian\,” couch-hopping from friend’s houses and throwing the nineteenth century version of a jam session\, called “Schubertiades.” The music of Gioacchino Rossini was currently the rage in Vienna and it seems that Schubert modeled much of this Symphony in C major on the light-hearted style of that Italian composer. The only performance this symphony received during Schubert’s lifetime was during one of those private house parties. \nWhen Louis Spohr wrote his first concerto for clarinet\, the instrument had only five keys\, compared to the seventeen of a modern clarinet. He confessed that he really didn’t know what he was doing. Aside from the obvious virtuosic aspects of Spohr’s Clarinet Concerto No. 1\, the piece contains some unusual elements. It is in a minor key\, and the orchestra plays a slow introduction before fingerwork begins. The slow movement confines the accompaniment to just violins and cellos. In spite of the minor key\, the third movement has a jaunty quality to it. Instead of ending with a technical flourish\, there is a surprising and sudden fade to nothing. \nConcert Sponsor

SUMMARY:Metro Collection 4
DESCRIPTION:The Metro Collection offers audiences fantastic classical music in an intimate setting. Concerts feature smaller scale works from the classical repertoire and newer pieces by contemporary composers. This performance will feature David Lemelin\, clarinet. \nWith works like Music for the Theatre\, Aaron Copland paved the way for a truly American “classical” music. In the piece\, you can hear the budding nationalism that comes to fruition in Copland’s later works. For the national element Copland turned to jazz\, “I was preoccupied with the idea of adding to the great history of serious music something with an American accent\, and jazz seemed to be a comparatively simple way of introducing the American note in an authentic way . . . It was an easy way to be an American.” \nSchubert began work on his Symphony in C Major when he was only nineteen. The music of Gioacchino Rossini was currently the rage in Vienna and it seems that Schubert modeled much of this symphony on the light-hearted and almost facile style of that Italian composer. The slow introduction to the first movement begins dramatically enough\, but soon melts into pure melody. The flutes introduce the main body of the movement with a jaunty little melody and from then on\, it is all good-hearted mirth. The slower second movement is as melodic as an operatic aria\, and the third movement is a lilting romp. The last movement is a succession of light-hearted tunes in contrasting tempos that eventually give way to a dramatic conclusion. \nWhen Louis Spohr wrote his first concerto for clarinet\, the instrument had only five keys\, compared to the seventeen of a modern clarinet. He confessed that he really didn’t know what he was doing. Aside from the obvious virtuosic aspects of Spohr’s Clarinet Concerto No. 1\, the piece contains some unusual elements. It is in a minor key\, and the orchestra plays a slow introduction before fingerwork begins. The slow movement confines the accompaniment to just violins and cellos. In spite of the minor key\, the third movement has a jaunty quality to it. Instead of ending with a technical flourish\, there is a surprising and sudden fade to nothing. \nLearn more about David Lemelin\, Clarinet. \nLearn more about Chia-Hsuan Lin\, Conductor. \nProgram Notes \n  \n  \nMedia Sponsor \nConcert Sponsor: \nMr. Ralph R.

SUMMARY:Carmen in Concert with Denyce Graves
DESCRIPTION:Join the Richmond Symphony for a spectacular final event of their Altria Masterworks series\, featuring Mezzo-Soprano Denyce Graves in a concert performance of Bizet’s Carmen (un-staged)\, in partnership with Virginia Opera. \nRecognized worldwide as one of today’s most exciting vocal stars\, Denyce Graves continues to gather unparalleled popular and critical acclaim in performances on four continents. USA Today identifies her as “an operatic superstar of the 21st century\,” and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution exclaims\, “If the human voice has the power to move you\, you will be touched by Denyce Graves.” \nBizet’s Carmen was the most famous of the composer’s operas\, introducing an unfamiliar element of realism to the form. Audiences were taken aback by the female protagonist’s unscrupulous behavior. Displays of crude femininity are augmented by staged knife fights and choruses of smoking cigarette-factory girls. Set in 19th century Spain\, the opera presents themes of love\, jealousy\, and free will\, as Carmen operates on her own agenda: seductive and intimate on one note\, sardonic and hedonistic the next. Though she meets an untimely death at the hands of a discarded lover\, this powerful character is immortalized in the operatic cannon; defined by her passionate nature\, respected for strong will\, and remembered for the music that carries her story. \nLearn more about Denyce Graves\, Mezzo-Soprano. \nLearn more about Steven Smith\, Conductor. \nSlatten-MacDonald Fund of The Community Foundation Serving Richmond and Central Virginia \n  \n  \nSeries Sponsor \nMedia Sponsor \n  \n  \n  \n
