It’s a reminder that this city was more than just their home. It was a creative magnet that drew composers from all over. \n“All of these composers were drawn to Vienna or already living there\,” says Music Director Valentina Peleggi. “A Night in Vienna traces a journey that starts off with a variety of dance forms suggesting the ethnic diversity of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It then celebrates how these influences came together and evolved into something new – the waltz – which became a symbol of Vienna itself as a cosmopolitan capital.” \n(C)2025 Thomas May \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n A Mosaic of Influences \n \n\n \n \n \n The first half of the program thus presents an eclectic mix of styles and influences\, from reworkings of regional folk idioms to evocations of Hungarian and Turkish music. These pieces show how composers engaged with the multicultural mosaic\nthey encountered\, both inside the Empire and beyond. \nOur snapshot of this shifting musical landscape begins with a bright\, festive march Mozart composed shortly after relocating to Vienna in the 1780s\, likely for a public or semi-public celebration. Following it is an orchestral arrangement of the famous “Turkish” rondo finale he originally wrote as part of a solo piano sonata—a rhythmically infectious piece that reflects how Europeans perceived the military music of the Ottoman Empire\, a style that was then very much in vogue in Vienna. \n(C)2025 Thomas May \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n From Mozart to Schubert \n \n\n \n \n \n Marche militaire by Franz Schubert\, who was born and raised in Vienna\, also started out as music for piano (actually\, piano four hands). It was written while on a music teaching stint for an aristocratic family in a Hungarian corner of the Empire. For all its mock martial grandeur\, the piece sways with a rhythmic lilt that’s hard to resist. \n(C)2025 Thomas May \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Beethoven’s Contradances \n \n\n \n \n \n A generation older than Schubert\, Beethoven paid tribute to the popular social dances of the day with a set of contradances – group dances of French and English origin – written not long after his move to Vienna to study with Haydn. The tune he used for No. 7 proved to have remarkable staying power: it later appeared in his ballet The Creatures of Prometheus and ultimately found immortal form as the theme for the finale of his revolutionary Eroica Symphony. \n(C)2025 Thomas May \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Hungarian Fire and Operetta Flair \n \n\n \n \n \n That Hungarian thread continues with Brahms’s Hungarian Dance No. 5\, the most famous of a set he originally composed for piano four hands in the late 1860s. The piece pulses with the rhythmic drive and fiery flair of Romani-influenced dance music – the kind of melodies that once spilled from café orchestras across the city. \nLike Dvořák\, Franz von Suppé emerged from outside the dominant Germanic tradition within the multiethnic Habsburg Empire. He became famous for his effervescent contributions to Viennese operetta\, such as 1866 work Light Cavalry. The galloping rhythms and theatrical flair of its overture have made the piece a concert hall favorite. We hear the overture’s rousing finale to close the first half of our program. \n(C)2025 Thomas May \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n The Waltz King \n \n\n \n \n \n Vienna’s famous City Park holds a gilded statue of Johann Strauss II\, who is shown merrily playing his violin. Long one of the most photographed landmarks in this city of music\, the monument is drawing even greater attention as the world celebrates the 200th anniversary of Strauss’s birth later this month. \nThe Overture to Die Fledermaus is a dazzling distillation of everything audiences adore about Strauss: irresistible melody\, rhythmic vitality\, and a flair for drama laced with humor. The title – which means “The Bat” – refers to a costume worn at a lavish masquerade ball\, where mistaken identities and fizzy intrigue unfold to a deliriously charming score now inseparable from Vienna’s New Year’s celebrations. \n(C)2025 Thomas May \n  \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Waltzes\, Polkas\, and Beyond \n \n\n \n \n \n Johann Strauss II was born into a remarkable musical dynasty. His father had laid the foundation for the family’s association with the Viennese waltz\, transforming a popular folk dance into a sophisticated form of entertainment. But it was Johann Junior who ultimately eclipsed not only Papa Strauss but also his composer brothers\, Josef and Eduard\, in both popularity and artistic Influence. \nStrauss’s naturally flowing melodies have a way of transporting listeners straight into the heart of Vienna: savor the lyrical grace and elegance of Voices of Spring and Roses from the South. Though best known for his waltzes\, the prolific Strauss additionally composed dozens of polkas\, galops\, and quadrilles – lively dance forms that were staples of the Viennese ballroom. He captures the cheeky bustle of Viennese gossip in the Tritsch-Tratsch (“chit-chat”) Polka and conjures up atmospheric spectacle in the thunderously brilliant Unter Donner und Blitz. As for the waltz itself\, Strauss expanded it into something grander and more symphonic by adding richly orchestrated introductions\, sweeping melodies\, and dramatically contrasting interludes. His concert waltzes often weave together several distinct dance sections\, creating a seamless sequence that elevates the form from ballroom diversion to miniature tone poem. \n(C)2025 Thomas May \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n The Blue Danube and a Triumphant Finale \n \n\n \n \n \n The Blue Danube – a hit at the 1867 Paris Exposition – has become the quintessential Strauss waltz. It begins with a dreamy\, choral-style introduction (whose original version in fact included a chorus) before unfolding into a sequence of five elegant waltz themes\, each with its own character\, yet artfully linked together. The Blue Danube has become virtually synonymous with Vienna itself\, though its modern fame owes much to Stanley Kubrick’s inspired decision to use Strauss’s graceful dance rhythms to accompany scenes of orbiting spacecraft in 2001: A Space Odyssey. \nBut Papa Strauss gets the final say. His Radetzky March from 1848 – written to honor a victorious general – has long outlived its military origins to become a rollicking New Year’s tradition\, complete with audience clapping and unflagging good cheer. It’s a rousing finale from the original Strauss in the waltz hall of fame. \n(C)2025 Thomas May \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n The City of Music \n \n\n \n \n \n A Night in Vienna \nSaturday\, October 11\, 2025 | 5:00 PM \nIf you pay a visit to Vienna’s Central Cemetery\, you’ll find a “Musicians’ Corner” where some of the iconic figures of Western classical music are laid to rest: Beethoven\, Schubert\, Johann Strauss II\, and Brahms all lie buried within close proximity.

Within the traditional Latin text\, Geter’s Requiem weaves the words of victims of lynching and of those who dared speak out. “A Requiem memorializes a person\,” Geter has stated. “We need to memorialize these folks in some way\, to keep their names alive. And this is the way I choose to honor them.” \n \n\n \n \n History\, Influences\, & Musical Preview \n \n\n \n \n \n Richmond Symphony composer-in-residence Damien Geter began composing “An African-American Requiem” in 2016\, commissioned by Resonance Ensemble\, and premiered the work with the Oregon Symphony in 2022. As a musical response to violence against Black Americans\, Geter modeled the twenty-movement composition after Verdi’s “Requiem.” He combines traditional Latin Requiem texts with civil rights declarations\, poetry\, and Eric Garner’s last words\, “I can’t breathe.”  \nMusical moment to listen for: \nIn the movement Lacrimosa (Latin for weeping or tearful)\, Geter writes a haunting clarinet solo echoing the Star-Spangled Banner in D minor\, but something is missing. Although there are no lyrics to this solo\, the memorable melody has you following them long enough to notice that he omits the promised peak note "free" from the phrase. The silence is deafening\, as Geter's message is clear. \n"In a concert setting\, we are forced to listen to\, and take in\, not only the music\, but the message. Music can be a conduit in that way\, bridging the reluctant person’s heart to that of a broader human experience." — Damien Geter \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Foreword by Aminata R. Sei for "An African American Requiem" \n \n\n \n \n \n Damien Geter has masterfully curated this renaissance on a canvas of our consciousness and our necessary call to duty. This Requiem is as it should be-sobering and bold. A Thank You is in order\, from me and from you\, for his courage and vision\, and for the hope it instills in our community. The work is a most salient reminder of our struggle\, of where it began\, how far we have come and the promise that rests in where we are headed. \nHostility and strife prevail\, a seeming disregard for life and a conjuring of the pain of past atrocities. Devaluation of Black lives. This continued denigration of our culture\, of black men and women\, and sometimes of black children\, must stop. The communal impact of generational and systemic discrimination over time is loss of confidence and a diminished will power. That is the unfortunate truth. This requiem defies that truth. It beckons from our souls a sense of fresh optimism so listen for it between the notes. Let that resonance overcome. Damien Geter presents a powerful and eclectic arrangement that reassures us of the courage of the likes of Ida B Wells. He shines a light on the truth that is the revolution of each movement. History bears witness to Beethoven’s monumental influence on symphony; the impact of emotions on classical music\, and this Requiem illuminates the fire on that torch; it heightens all of ours. \nWhere others had stood up and spoken out\, today this composer with unmatched creative genius has made his mark by gifting the world with a remarkable musical transcription. A war song. An anthem. Through moments of deep reflection you’ll come to appreciate that this Requiem is no dirge. It is a sacred call. Every chord striking a memory of all of the souls of our dearly departed from whom life was unjustly taken. A reckoning of love and hope. This work will revolutionize our path to activism. It is pacesetting classical music. Other greats have left their mark\, and I am certain so will this maestro. \nJames Baldwin said it best\, “you write to change the world…” Damien Geter was born to write this masterpiece\, and it will change how we show up in the world. \n— Aminata R.
