Last February, I was fascinated <strong>to</strong> watch Jeopardy as an IBM computer named<br />
Watson in honour of <strong>the</strong> company’s founder <strong>to</strong>ok on – and ultimately defeated<br />
– two of <strong>the</strong> show’s highest scoring contestants. What particularly caught my<br />
interest was a video <strong>to</strong>ur of <strong>the</strong> IBM research site w<strong>here</strong> Watson was created and<br />
w<strong>here</strong> one word, THINK, s<strong>to</strong>od out in large, bold letters in <strong>the</strong> building’s lobby.<br />
Apparently THINK was a favourite word of Thomas J. Watson himself when he set<br />
goals for his company and his employees.<br />
Naturally, because <strong>Stratford</strong> <strong>Summer</strong> <strong>Music</strong> is always on my mind, I started <strong>to</strong><br />
transfer Watson’s concept <strong>to</strong> my particular interest, and up popped <strong>the</strong> word<br />
LISTEN… so I’ve made it my personal word <strong>to</strong> represent this season of music. (I<br />
also kept recalling that it was <strong>the</strong> Russian-born composer, Igor Stravinsky, who<br />
made <strong>the</strong> distinction between listening and hearing. “To listen is an effort but <strong>to</strong><br />
hear has no merit; even a duck hears!” he said.)<br />
So I invite you <strong>to</strong> join me in more carefully listening, and appreciating, this summer’s<br />
music. LISTEN <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> world in <strong>the</strong> music of El Salvador, South Africa, India,<br />
Brazil, Greece and, most of all, our own Canada. LISTEN <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> music of <strong>the</strong> greatest<br />
composers of all time and <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> new music of men and women who live and<br />
compose in <strong>the</strong> 21st century.<br />
LISTEN, and, I hope, ENJOY our eleventh season.<br />

“Just what would some interesting Canadians admit about <strong>the</strong> role music plays<br />
in <strong>the</strong>ir lives?”<br />
That was <strong>the</strong> question our Artistic Producer, John Miller, was thinking about<br />
when he chatted with Barbara Budd after her wonderful programs with Ben<br />
Heppner last summer.<br />
Now that Barbara is permanently living in <strong>Stratford</strong>, John wondered whe<strong>the</strong>r<br />
Barbara would consider chatting with three people each year if <strong>the</strong> music festival<br />
were <strong>to</strong> introduce a new series focusing on what music means <strong>to</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs.<br />
Her immediate answer was positive and so <strong>the</strong> first plans for a new series came<br />
<strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r. Already Barbara and John are thinking about just whom <strong>the</strong>y and our<br />
audiences would like <strong>to</strong> meet, and <strong>to</strong> hear speak about music in <strong>the</strong>ir lives, for<br />
next summer.<br />

Kellylee Evans has <strong>the</strong> beautifully casual phrasing of a jazz<br />

of a pop star in waiting. She commands <strong>the</strong> stage with a<br />
regal and casual confidence. Now some may peg this Ottawa<br />

urban slant, and lyrics that question and incite make<br />
Kellylee Evans stand out. Kellylee has <strong>to</strong>ured North America<br />

George Benson, Maceo Parker, Sharon Jones and <strong>the</strong> Dap-<br />

John MacLeod’s impeccable credentials in nearly every aspect<br />

arranger, bandleader) have been firmly established in<br />
a distinguished career spanning over three decades on <strong>the</strong><br />
Canadian music scene as a player, composer, arranger, and<br />
conduc<strong>to</strong>r. In 2003, John formed his own large jazz ensemble,<br />

This extraordinary young man whom BBC <strong>Music</strong> Magazine dubbed “...perhaps <strong>the</strong><br />
most ‘complete’ pianist of his age” returns <strong>to</strong> <strong>Stratford</strong> <strong>Summer</strong> <strong>Music</strong>. At age 16,<br />
he has recently been signed by Deutsche Grammophon for recordings and by IMG<br />
Artists, <strong>the</strong> prestigious international management agency. Jan’s performances of<br />
<strong>the</strong> music of Frederic Chopin last August in <strong>Stratford</strong> thrilled his audiences and<br />
now we are honoured and delighted <strong>to</strong> welcome him back <strong>to</strong> <strong>Stratford</strong> for three<br />
dynamic and quite different programs of his own selection.<br />

Before God, and as an honest man, I tell<br />
you that your son is <strong>the</strong> greatest composer<br />
known <strong>to</strong> me ei<strong>the</strong>r in person<br />
or by name. He has taste, and, what is<br />
more, <strong>the</strong> most profound knowledge of<br />
composition.<br />
So wrote Joseph Haydn in 1785 <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
fa<strong>the</strong>r of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart<br />
when he had heard <strong>the</strong> young composer’s<br />
tribute in music. Mozart, who<br />
had studied Haydn’s scores and particularly<br />
his string quartets which were<br />
considered <strong>to</strong> be a revolutionary, new<br />
form of musical expression when <strong>the</strong>y<br />
first appeared, wrote 23 string quartets<br />
during his life.<br />
The six beautiful quartets dedicated <strong>to</strong><br />
Haydn were written in Vienna between<br />
1782 and 1785 and it was in January<br />
and February, 1785 that <strong>the</strong> old master<br />
heard his six quartets at two concerts<br />
in Mozart’s own home.<br />
<strong>Stratford</strong> <strong>Summer</strong> <strong>Music</strong> welcomes a<br />
young and promising string quartet<br />
from Toron<strong>to</strong> – <strong>the</strong> Annex Quartet – <strong>to</strong><br />
perform all six of <strong>the</strong>se masterpieces.<br />
Recognized for <strong>the</strong>ir eclectic reper<strong>to</strong>ire<br />
of music, The Annex Quartet – Teddy<br />
Wiggins, Carolyn Blackwell (violins),<br />
Yunior Lopez (viola), and Peter Cosbey<br />
(cello) – continues <strong>to</strong> deliver dynamic<br />
performances that push <strong>the</strong> boundaries<br />
of classical music. Since 2008,<br />
<strong>the</strong> quartet has been in high demand<br />
throughout Toron<strong>to</strong> and abroad. Recent<br />
performances include <strong>the</strong> Richard<br />
Bradshaw Amphi<strong>the</strong>ater at <strong>the</strong> Four<br />
Seasons Centre, Montreal Museum of<br />
Modern Art, and Carnegie Hall.<br />

Join us again this year at <strong>the</strong>se popular concerts set in a<br />
unique venue – a coffee shop – w<strong>here</strong> we find a woman reading<br />
a newspaper. Through her imagination, <strong>the</strong> articles start<br />
<strong>to</strong> take on a musical life of <strong>the</strong>ir own.<br />
Featuring selections from <strong>the</strong> Jonathan Monro Songbook<br />
including “Just Be”, “Rumba Raylene”, “Inside Voice”, “You<br />
Don’t Have <strong>to</strong> Stay”, and “Temporary”.<br />
Jonathan Monro, one of Canada’s most well-known <strong>the</strong>atre<br />
artists, made his first major appearance as a pianist at Carnegie<br />
Recital Hall in New York City in 1991. As a composer, lyricist<br />
and bookwriter, Jonathan has written over twenty original<br />
pieces for <strong>the</strong>atre, including AfterImage, Variations on a<br />
Nervous Breakdown and Fear of Flight. Calgary Sun <strong>the</strong>atre<br />
critic Louis B. Hobson wrote in one of his re<strong>view</strong>s: “Monro<br />
deserves <strong>to</strong> be compared <strong>to</strong> such giants as Sondheim and<br />
Lehrer”. Flying in directly from Los Angeles, w<strong>here</strong> he is currently<br />
starring in Two Pianos, Four Hands, Jonathan will be<br />
remembered by <strong>Stratford</strong> patrons for his performance in<br />
one of last year’s Cabarets at The Church Restaurant, as <strong>the</strong><br />
composer of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Stratford</strong> Shakespearean Festival’s 2010<br />
production of The Two Gentlemen of Verona and as an ac<strong>to</strong>r<br />
