Welcome<br />
<strong>Queensland</strong> <strong>Symphony</strong> <strong>Orchestra</strong> 2012<br />
Dear Friends,<br />
Welcome to <strong>the</strong> 2012 season. This is an exciting time to be with <strong>the</strong> <strong>Queensland</strong> <strong>Symphony</strong><br />
orchestra whe<strong>the</strong>r you are coming along to listen, to play or to conduct.<br />
There is movement at <strong>the</strong> studio: from Ferry Road, which was <strong>the</strong> orchestra’s home for<br />
decades, we move into a magnificent new studio at South Bank, into <strong>the</strong> core of <strong>the</strong> cultural<br />
centre of Brisbane. With open rehearsals, education concerts and new series we will throw open<br />
our new doors to young and old.<br />
There is movement in <strong>the</strong> orchestra: during <strong>the</strong> past five years <strong>the</strong> orchestra has acquired<br />
twenty inspiring new members. This movement brings about new energy, new ideas, and new<br />
relationships. For me it has been an absolute pleasure to work with this superb orchestra.<br />
The <strong>music</strong>ians of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Queensland</strong> <strong>Symphony</strong> orchestra share my enthusiasm for great <strong>music</strong>,<br />
enthusiasm that inspires dedication, that produces scintillating live performances.<br />
Come and experience <strong>the</strong> 2012 season.<br />

once again <strong>the</strong> highest standards of technical<br />
excellence and <strong>music</strong>ianship, across a rich<br />

The program includes well known works - "old<br />
friends" that we look forward to meeting again<br />

acquaintance we may be keen to make. There<br />
will be wonderful collaborations, concerts<br />
built around intriguing <strong>the</strong>mes, a series of<br />
concerts in regional <strong>Queensland</strong>, and <strong>music</strong> for<br />

a celebration of marvellous <strong>music</strong> and of our<br />
good fortune in having an orchestra of such<br />
distinction that <strong>Queensland</strong> and <strong>Queensland</strong>ers<br />
can claim proudly as our own. I look forward to<br />
sharing this celebration and <strong>the</strong> pleasures of <strong>the</strong><br />
2012 Season with you all.<br />

acclaimed on both sides of <strong>the</strong> atlantic,<br />
<strong>the</strong> Maestro conducts Shostakovich’s truly<br />
epic Tenth <strong>Symphony</strong>, hailed by many as his<br />
finest. This is a work where, in its supposed<br />
portrait of <strong>the</strong> dictator Josef Stalin in all<br />
his grim power, <strong>the</strong> <strong>music</strong> reaches levels of<br />
almost indescribable tension and profound<br />
emotional intensity, ultimately released<br />
by <strong>the</strong> euphoria of <strong>the</strong> finale. Stephen<br />
Kovacevich has been beguiling audiences<br />
with <strong>the</strong> colour, warmth and transcendent<br />
lyricism of Beethoven’s Fourth Piano<br />
Concerto for almost half a century. now it’s<br />

Mozart’s later masterpieces demonstrate<br />
his genius in transcending <strong>the</strong> emotional<br />
and stylistic boundaries of <strong>the</strong> eighteenth<br />
century. His Piano Concerto in C minor<br />
K.491, one of only two in this genre<br />
in a minor key, has demonic and intense<br />
qualities which make it a favourite<br />
of pianists such as Markus Schirmer. The<br />
Jupiter <strong>Symphony</strong>, Mozart’s glorious<br />
symphonic swan song, revels in its power<br />
while retaining his hallmark elegance<br />
and charm.<br />

only a Russian conductor like Valery Polyansky can invest Borodin's <strong>music</strong> with <strong>the</strong><br />

and reveals <strong>the</strong> composer at his most subversively and mischievously satirical. at <strong>the</strong><br />
premiere of his Festival Overture, composed to commemorate <strong>the</strong> 37th anniversary of<br />

Guest Conductor, eivind aadland, returns<br />
to conduct Mahler’s ninth <strong>Symphony</strong>,<br />
<strong>the</strong> crowning glory of <strong>the</strong> great austro-<br />
Germanic symphonic tradition which began<br />
with Haydn and Mozart. The ninth is a<br />
work of genius, with passages of anguished<br />
beauty juxtaposed with mock-gaiety<br />
and sardonic wit. The final adagio is one<br />
of Mahler’s most profound and moving<br />
statements, full of majestic resignation and<br />
far from earthly tribulations.<br />

<strong>Symphony</strong> no.6 Pastoral<br />
Sergo Tiempo, a pianist one critic hailed<br />
as “irresistible” in Chopin, performs<br />
his magnum opus, which, despite its<br />
larger scale remains unmistakably and<br />
triumphantly Chopinesque and a tribute<br />
to <strong>the</strong> unique emotions <strong>the</strong> composer<br />
poured into it, epecially in <strong>the</strong> slow<br />
movement, which is really an exquisite<br />
nocturne. Beethoven’s ever fresh Pastoral<br />
<strong>Symphony</strong> shows how a genius like<br />
Beethoven could even improve on <strong>the</strong><br />
perfection of nature in this favourite work.<br />
Gold Coast bus available<br />
Like so many of Haydn’s named<br />
symphonies, no one quite knows how <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>Symphony</strong> no.88 came to be nicknamed<br />
The Letter V. none of this matters when<br />
you hear <strong>the</strong> blend of wit, charm and<br />
inventiveness of this wonderful score.<br />
elgar’s Enigma Variations, ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />
quintessentially english masterpiece,<br />
immortalized his affectionate portraits<br />
of tweedy eccentrics but <strong>the</strong> noble strains<br />
of <strong>the</strong> Nimrod variation are among <strong>the</strong><br />
most moving and beloved english <strong>music</strong><br />
ever composed. Marshall McGuire,<br />
an extraordinary harp player, plays<br />
Boieldieu's Harp Concerto with a lyricism<br />
that will delight.<br />

for Two pianos in e major by Mendelssohn.<br />
Beethoven's <strong>Symphony</strong> no.4 is one of <strong>the</strong><br />

a program no romantic should miss!<br />
Shakespeare’s play takes almost three<br />

distilled <strong>the</strong> drama and emotion in his<br />
Romeo & Juliet Fantasy overture as no<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r composer ever could. Tchaikovsky’s<br />
Polish <strong>Symphony</strong> was named for <strong>the</strong><br />
spectacular polonaise in <strong>the</strong> finale, but<br />
this five-movement work is brimming<br />
with o<strong>the</strong>r wonderful melodies and great<br />

Composer Howard Shore brings J.R.R.<br />
Tolkien’s literary imagination to vivid<br />
life with his academy®- and Grammy®<br />
award-winning score to The Lord of <strong>the</strong><br />
Rings: The Fellowship of <strong>the</strong> Ring. Shore’s<br />
<strong>music</strong> expresses Peter Jackson’s film as<br />
an immense symphonic work—a uniquely<br />
developed vision drawn from centuries of<br />
stylistic tendencies.<br />
The <strong>music</strong> of The Lord of <strong>the</strong> Rings is<br />
counted among film <strong>music</strong>’s most complex<br />
and comprehensive works. This unique<br />
performance sets <strong>the</strong> score to <strong>the</strong> film,<br />
but allows <strong>the</strong> <strong>music</strong> to bear <strong>the</strong> narrative<br />
weight, creating a wholly new and dramatic<br />
live concert experience.<br />
Shore’s score not only captures Fellowship’s<br />
sweeping emotion, thrilling vistas and<br />
grand journeys, but also echoes <strong>the</strong> very<br />
construction of Tolkien’s Middle-earth.<br />
Styles, instruments and performers<br />
collected from around <strong>the</strong> world provide<br />
each of Tolkien’s cultures with a unique<br />
<strong>music</strong>al imprint. In operatic fashion, <strong>the</strong>se<br />
<strong>music</strong>al worlds co-mingle, sometimes<br />
combining forces for a culminated power,<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r times violently clashing…and always<br />
bending to <strong>the</strong> will of <strong>the</strong> one Ring and its<br />
own ominous family of <strong>the</strong>mes.<br />
"My first score for<br />
The Lord of <strong>the</strong> Rings<br />
trilogy, The Fellowship<br />
of <strong>the</strong> Ring, was<br />
<strong>the</strong> beginning of<br />
my journey into <strong>the</strong><br />
world of Tolkien and<br />
I will always hold a<br />
special fondness for<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>music</strong> and <strong>the</strong><br />
experience."<br />

What is this thing called love? Whatever<br />
it is, it certainly makes <strong>the</strong> world, and<br />
<strong>music</strong>, go round. Love and romance<br />
have been <strong>the</strong> most powerful source of<br />
inspiration to composers of all ages: <strong>the</strong><br />
euphoric love of Romeo and Juliet… even<br />
Beethoven (forever unlucky in love) who<br />
entrusted his love song to a solo violin.<br />

Few o<strong>the</strong>r composers in australia or<br />
anywhere else can boast that <strong>the</strong>ir <strong>music</strong><br />
has been heard as part of <strong>the</strong> opening<br />
ceremony of <strong>the</strong> Sydney olympics, as <strong>the</strong><br />
occasional <strong>the</strong>me to Philip adams cerebral<br />
late night talk fest on Radio national<br />
and in a Lloyds’ Bank commercial. elena<br />
Kats-Chernin is not only one of australia’s<br />
most eclectic composers – her output<br />
ranges from opera to miniatures and often<br />
showcases her off-beat take – but also<br />
one of <strong>the</strong> most prolific. She frequently<br />
has up to six compositions on <strong>the</strong> go<br />
simultaneously. Following <strong>the</strong> great success<br />
of her Composer-in-Residency last year,<br />
we are delighted to welcome her back in<br />
2012. amy Dickson recently released a<br />
new recording, in which she re-defines<br />
<strong>the</strong> saxophone as a classical instrument<br />
through her choice of indisputably beautiful<br />
and innovative repertoire, including Glass's<br />
Violin Concerto no.1.<br />
Jack Liebeck stars in <strong>the</strong> Lindberg Violin Concerto<br />
Magnus Lindberg, sometimes dubbed <strong>the</strong><br />
bad boy of contemporary <strong>music</strong>, composed<br />
his Violin Concerto in 2006 and it has made<br />
rapid inroads into <strong>the</strong> repertoire of several<br />
leading violinists. Miraculously, Lindberg<br />
creates shimmering sonorities with <strong>the</strong><br />
Mozart-sized orchestra and a rhapsodic<br />
solo role for <strong>the</strong> violinist. Kats-Chernin's<br />
two pieces are beautiful explorations of her<br />
quirky talent.<br />
