ABOUT

LOS ANGELES

CHAMBER ORCHESTRA

2018/2019 Season

Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra

(LACO), ranked among the

world’s top musical ensembles,

marks the 2018-19 season with more artistic

energy and creative impulse coursing

through its musical veins than at any time in

its history. Enhancing the intimacy and precision

that is the Orchestra’s hallmark, LACO

has named Jaime Martín as Music Director

Designate. Praised as "a visionary conductor,

discerning and meticulous" (Platea Magazine),

Martín takes the podium as Music Director

in the 2019-20 season. The Orchestra,

beloved by audiences and praised by critics,

is known as a champion of contemporary

composers, with eight ASCAP Awards for Adventurous

Programming, as well as a preeminent

interpreter of historical masterworks.

Headquartered in the heart of the country's

cultural capital, LACO has been proclaimed

“America’s finest chamber orchestra” (Public

Radio International), “LA’s most unintimidating

chamber music experience” (Los Angeles

magazine), “resplendent” (Los Angeles

Times) and “one of the world's great chamber

orchestras"(KUSC Classical FM).

In 2018-19, LACO spotlights its rich

legacy and highlights the ensemble's depth

and range with favorite works, including

the Mozart Requiem, Beethoven’s Fifth and

Sixth Symphonies and Mendelssohn’s “Italian”

Symphony. Explored, too, is the intimate

side of the last century, with works by Korngold,

Ligeti, Seeger and Arvo Pärt. As part

of MusicLAb, the Orchestra’s signature commitment

to new music and pushing the envelope,

the season also features world premieres

by esteemed film composer James

Newton Howard, Los Angeles-based composer

Sarah Gibson and highly regarded

Latin American composer Juan Pablo Contreras,

and a West Coast premiere by Bryce

Dessner, best known as a member of the

Grammy Award-nominated band The National.

American composer Andrew Norman

continues as LACO’s Creative Advisor and

Composer-in-Residence.

Performing throughout greater Los Angeles,

the Orchestra presents eight Orchestral

Series concerts at Glendale’s Alex Theatre

and UCLA’s Royce Hall; four Baroque Conversations

at downtown LA's Zipper Hall and

three at Santa Monica’s St. Monica Church or

the First Presbyterian Church of Santa Monica;

three In Focus chamber music concerts in

partnership with The Huntington and at Santa

Monica's New Roads School; and three SES-

SION experiences that explore classical music's

cutting-edge sounds and challenge traditional

concert-going expectations.

Long committed to the power of collaboration,

LACO has partnered with the

8 CENTENNIAL SEASON CELEBRATION

Inner City Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles

and USC Thornton School of Music to create

The Los Angeles Orchestra Fellowship,

which, in September, welcomed its inaugural

cohort of four top-tier post-graduate string

musicians from underrepresented communities.

The comprehensive training program

addresses the lack of diversity within American

orchestras with a rigorous curriculum

that includes artistic mentoring, rehearsal,

performance and auditioning opportunities

over the course of two years. Further advancing

the Orchestra’s mission to nurture

future musicians and composers as well as

inspire in young people a love of classical

music, LACO presents an array of education

and community programs, such as Meet

the Music, Community Partners, Campus to

Concert Hall and the LACO/USC Thornton

Strings Mentorship Program.

Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra was

founded in 1968 as an artistic outlet for the

recording industry’s most gifted musicians.

Founder and cellist James Arkatov envisioned

an ensemble that would allow these

conservatory-trained players to balance

studio work and teaching with pure artistic

collaboration at the highest level. LACO

presented its first performances with the

financial backing of philanthropist Richard

Colburn and managerial expertise from attorney

Joseph Troy, who also became the

Orchestra’s first president. Sir Neville Marriner,

Gerard Schwarz, Iona Brown, Christof

Perick and Jeffrey Kahane, LACO's illustrious

Music Directors, each built upon a tradition

of joyous music-making performed by exceptional

artists as adept in the Baroque as

in the music of today. Jaime Martín continues

this tradition beginning in 2019-20. The

Orchestra has made 31 recordings, toured

Europe, South America and Japan, and performed

across North America. LACO's offices

are located in downtown Los Angeles. n

12 CENTENNIAL SEASON CELEBRATION

the four seasons

by Donald Munro

For Patricia Mabee, who adores Vivaldi’s The

Four Seasons but isn’t quite so infatuated

with commuting through all of them, “winter”

in LA is thankfully a gentle term. It doesn’t

involve a thick parka rated to 10 below zero.

No slushy streets. Freezing her fingers because

of forgotten gloves? Not a chance. For

that, the longtime Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra

principal keyboard has to get out of

town.

“I love traveling to cold places like Scandinavia,

Canada and New York in the winter,”

she says, “but no more than a few weeks at a

time, please!”

Then it’s back to Los Angeles, which has,

at the most -- two seasons? One? The matter

is up for debate.

Cover art from the Orchestra’s 1980 recording of The Four Seasons under the

baton of former music director Gerard Schwarz. Photos by Ken Veeder.

Antonio Vivaldi wrote his famed The Four Seasons

when he was living in Mantua, Italy, a place that

definitely has all four. After experiencing hot, humid

summers and freezing winters, it’s no wonder

he was always so glad to see spring and autumn

(especially without air conditioning or central

heating). Vivaldi probably would have loved the

weather in LA Everyone else does, right?

“I love traveling to cold

places like Scandinavia,

Canada and New York in

the winter but no more

than a few weeks at a

time, please!”

— Patricia Mabee

— principal keyboardist

CAMA AT THE GRANADA THEATRE - LOS ANGELES CHAMBER ORCHESTRA

Patricia, who’s played The Four Seasons for

LACO seven times during her 42-year tenure

with the Orchestra, is “mainly a SoCal girl,”

but she did live in a small Colorado town for

three years, so she knows her traditional seasons.

She remembers sledding, ice skating

and making “snowpeople.” In the spring she

watched for bird nests.

“I felt a thrill when the eggs hatched, seeing

the birds learn to fly,” she says. “It was

bittersweet when they finally flew away. The

changes of seasons in rural Colorado created

an indelible impression of how the cycles of

life are always present.”

Many artists throughout history have felt

the same way. In the four violin concerti that

make up Vivaldi’s piece, the composer offers

narrative elements inspired by seasonal

changes around him: rushing streams, buzzing

insects, singing birds, drunken dancers,

thundering storms, a dog barking while his

goatherd master sleeps. Painters, composers,

choreographers, poets, filmmakers and

other artists have long been intrigued with

the theme of the four seasons, and not just

in the literal sense of green shoots breaking

through the soil or leaves turning a golden

brown.

From a biological and cultural standpoint,

the idea of the seasons is a powerful influence,

even for people who don’t live in climates that

offer the “traditional” lineup of fall colors and

white Christmases. In a more contemplative

sense, the seasons at their most fundamental

can symbolize the circular nature of life: from

birth to death. That’s often what draws artists

to the theme, from Nicolas Poussin to David

Hockney and Jasper Johns.

Johns’ set of four intaglio prints, The Seasons

(Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter), was part

of a recent retrospective of the artist’s work,

Something Resembling Truth, at The Broad

museum in downtown Los Angeles.

Mantua is a city in Lombardy, Italy, and capital of the province of the same name.

The engraving shows a bird’s-eye view of a city in the middle of a lake. It also the city

where Vivaldi composed the Four Seasons.

The four panels, painted in 1985-86, are

filled with seasonal symbols and art history

allusions. You can find the obvious (a snowman

in Winter) to the more subtle (in Summer,

look closely at the American flag, which

is a famous subject

for Johns, because

it only has 48 stars).

Sprinkled through the

works are seahorses,

recurring allusions to

Picasso, streaks of

rain, and, in each one, a

branch with blossoms,

leaves, or no growth at

all, depending on the

season. Johns puts his

own figure into each

of the four paintings,

touch.

autobiographical

14 CENTENNIAL SEASON CELEBRATION

For Ed Schad, who curated The Broad

exhibition, Johns painted not with whimsy

but “spirit and grace,” he says. “It’s emotional,

rather than something that’s analytic.” When

the series was first displayed in New York, the

paintings were hung in “traditional” order:

spring, summer, fall and winter, or what you

could call the traditional birth-to-death progression.

But the Broad, in consultation with

the artist, hung them differently: summer, fall,

winter, spring.

This might seem a

subtle change, but it

was significant: “The

idea was that it would

feel more like a circle

than a linear expression

of the seasons,” Schad

says. “Seeing spring at

the end sees the whole

thing as a circle, more

than the literal march

from birth to death.”

Picking up on that

circle theme, another

recurring element in

each painting is a partial

circle with a human

arm pointing in various

positions, like the hand

of a clock. The confident,

outstretched

limb brings to mind

Leonardo Da Vinci’s

iconic Vitruvian Man.

Schad suggests it could

signify “the sort of arbitrary

ways by which

we measure our lives.

There are devices and

instruments that we use to organize ourselves:

rulers, clocks, agreed upon conventions. And

then there are things that are unique to us and

are hard to measure: personal memory, gesture,

expression.”

The seasons, then, stay the same. But each

individual journey through them is as one-of-akind

as the snowflakes you find in “Winter.”

When you talk to the experts, you’ll find

that our relationship to those seasons is both

biological and cultural.

The Vitruvian Man (Italian: Le proporzioni del corpo umano secondo Vitruvio, which

is translated to “The proportions of the human body according to Vitruvius”), or

simply L’Uomo Vitruviano, is a drawing by the Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci

around 1490.

CAMA AT THE GRANADA THEATRE - LOS ANGELES CHAMBER ORCHESTRA

In some ways, we’re like birds that instinctively

know it’s time to fly south (or at

least to the nearest Macy’s gift-wrapping

department). Over the course of millennia,

humans have adapted both genetically and

environmentally to the regions to which our

gatherer-hunter ancestors migrated, says Dr.

Andrew Jones, a sociology professor at California

State University, Fresno.

One recent study indicates that human

DNA reacts to the seasons, changing

the body’s chemistry depending on the time

of year. (As many as one-fifth of all genes in

blood cells undergo seasonal changes, even

in terms of warding off inflammation. Take

that, cold and flu season.)

We also behave in certain ways depending

on the season, taking cues from our

surroundings.

“We wear different clothing to recognize

what season we are living in depending on

the region in which we live,” Jones says. “One

can get away with wearing shorts year round

in LA, but I would not recommend that during

winter time in Buffalo, New York! While humans

living on the East Coast may wear long

coats in winter, you would be hard pressed

to see anyone wearing such garments on the

West Coast. Think of how some mammals

shed fur to stay cool in the summertime – we

shed layers of clothing.”

Different calendars around the South Asian countries of India, Bangladesh, Nepal

and Sri Lanka, recognize six seasons or ritu: Vasanta (spring), Grishma (summer),

Varsha (rains/monsoon), Sharad (autumn), Hemanta (winter), Shishira (cool season).

Our acknowledgment of seasons in the

northern hemisphere is subject, then, to cultural

construction. Along with the obvious holidays

and seasonal transitions (Halloween just

seems more fun when there’s a chill in the air),

we also receive cues as to what season it is by

the availability of goods.

Fashion tends to

run one to two seasons

ahead, for example. “If the

clothing racks in stores

have summer fashions on

display, it must be winter,

and if coats are on display,

it must be summer,”

Jones says. This is marketing

strategy, yes, but

it’s based on human nature:

people like to plan

ahead, and they also get

antsy. In February, who

wants to think about buying

yet another sweater?

Then there’s the question

of why there are four seasons.

It’s not necessarily

a given.

16 CENTENNIAL SEASON CELEBRATION

For instance, the Hindu calendar recognizes

six seasons. In India there is summer,

monsoon, autumn, late autumn, winter and

spring, Jones says. The Bengali and Tamil

calendars also recognize six seasons. Scandinavian

countries denote seasons by temperature

– winter begins when the temperature

does not rise above zero degrees Centigrade;

summer when the temperature rises above

10 degrees Centigrade. The Sami of northern

Scandinavia have seasons that correspond to

the life cycle of reindeer, and thus, acknowledge

eight different seasons. The eight seasons

of this cycle are directly related to the

annual behavioral patterns of the reindeer.

There isn’t any Arctic wildlife wandering

the freeways of Southern California, of course,

but Angelenos have other ways of demarcating

the seasons. At The Broad, Schad pondered

the subject during the run of the Jasper

Johns show.

“I definitely thought about it almost every

day that I saw them,” he says of the works

that make up The Four Seasons. “One of the

interesting things for me is that with Johns’

thoughts on these points of measurement –

whether it’s a clock or a ruler – the fact that

we don’t have readily identifiable seasons in

Los Angeles makes me think of all the micro

things that mark a year. It may be 50 degrees

in LA in the winter, but that’s an opportunity

for a person to wear a sweater or a coat, even

though it isn’t necessary.”

That’s because so many people in Southern

California are transplants, bringing their

own traditions along, he speculates. From

seasonal menu items to the way people dress,

the area is a melting pot of seasonal customs.

“A lot of the ways that people mark the seasons

are kind of grandfathered in for Los Angeles,”

he says.

Patricia, the LACO principal keyboard,

can’t think offhand of any quirky seasonal traditions

of her own. Temperate weather is just

fine by her.

“I wear my big fluffy slippers all year

round,” she says.

She continues to adore The Four Seasons,

even though she has to reach back to

her childhood to make a real seasonal connection.

Her favorite part as a keyboardist

comes in the second movement of Autumn,

aka “The drunkards have fallen asleep.”

“If we get the OK from the leader, it’s an

opportunity to improvise a bit of an interpretation

of the drunkard’s dreams under the

surface of the somnambulant strings,” she

says. “There really is no melodic material, so

we take our cues from the harmonies. They

begin placidly, meandering.

But before long they become quite dissonant

and disturbing until they again return to total

calm.”

That full cycle — placid to dissonant

to total calm — fits in rather nicely with the

theme of Johns and other artists who have

been drawn to the rhythm of the seasons. It’s

an idea that has traction wherever you live,

regardless of whether you ever need snow

tires. Schad lives in Culver City near a movie

studio, and one night he came home from

work to find his entire block covered in fake

snow. That’s Los Angeles for you.

“If it doesn’t have seasons,” he says, “it’s

happy to invent them.”

VIVALDI

Concerto in A minor

for Two Violins, RV522 (1711)

Seasons), Op.8, Nos.1-4 (1715)

Orchestration: solo mandolin; strings; continuo

Estimated Duration: 37 minutes

Antonio Vivaldi wrote more

than 500 concertos in his lifetime.

Some featured a solo

instrument with an orchestra (the violin was

most often the solo instrument), while some

concertos, like the first two this evening were

“doubles,” with two solo instruments. Some

featured groups of soloists with an orchestra,

a genre known as the concerto grosso.

In 1711, Vivaldi published an incredibly influential

collection of concertos called L’estro

armonico, of which the A-minor Concerto for

Two Violins was part. It was more than a decade

later that Vivaldi began writing his most

famous works, a set of four concertos called

Le quattro stagioni, better known as The Four

Seasons. Vivaldi’s works were a great source

of inspiration for later composers like J.S.

Bach, who copied out many of Vivaldi’s works

for study or arrangement. For example, Bach

adapted the A-minor Concerto for Two Violins

as an organ work.

Through his extensive work in the genre,

Vivaldi standardized some of the characteristics

we associate with the concerto. For instance,

he regularly composed his concertos with

quick outer movements and a slower central

movement, a structure that was the norm for

the whole of the Baroque period. He used

ritornello form in the fast movements of his

concertos, a form that allowed for give and

take between soloist and orchestra. Vivaldi’s

RV517 and RV522 are fine examples of double

concertos. The two works have a few things

in common: they are both in minor keys and

both follow the traditional three-movement

structure. In each, the two solo violins spend

much of the time in the quick movements

18 CENTENNIAL SEASON CELEBRATION

trading musical material or playing in harmony

with one another. These are two of

Vivaldi’s most recognizable concertos—their

melodies are beautifully crafted and evoke a

sense of both drive and drama. The central

movements of each provide contrast, with

slower tempos and more pensive moods.

Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, known

in Italian as Le quattro stagioni, were published

in 1725 as part of a set of twelve

concertos. It was Vivaldi’s eighth opus,

and he called it Il cimento dell’armonica e

dell’inventione, or The Contest of Harmony

and Invention. The Concertos were inspired

not just by the seasons themselves, but by

a set of four sonnets written about spring,

summer, autumn and winter. The authorship

of these sonnets is questionable, but most

historians believe that it was Vivaldi himself.

This makes sense because each sonnet is

broken down into three sections, each section

corresponding to a movement in the

Concerto. The Four Seasons can therefore

be classified as “programmatic,” music that

intends to evoke something extra-musical.

Originally written for solo violin, tonight’s

performance features Avi Avital’s virtuosic

arrangement for solo mandolin.

All of the Concertos demonstrate virtuosic

musical displays by all players, but

especially by the soloist. “La primavera,” or

Spring, begins with the crispness and clarity

of a cloudless spring day, and features singing

birds and murmuring streams. A sudden

quick thunderstorm invades, but birdsong

soon regains control. The second movement

illustrates a peaceful day, the quiet

disturbed only by a barking dog. The final

movement is a lively dance for countryfolk

who seem to be celebrating the return of life

after a long winter.

The first movement of Summer,

“L’estate,” begins slowly, almost as if it’s too

hot to move. The birds sing lazily, and the

air is mostly still, until a breeze whips up,

a warning of a gathering storm. The most

striking moment of this Concerto is the hailstorm

that rains down in the third movement,

a perfect contrast to the tranquility of

the opening.

Autumn, “L’autunno,” seems to return to

the clarity we heard in Spring. The musical

themes in both first movements are similar.

Once again, the countryfolk are celebrating,

but this time they are rejoicing in their successful

harvest. Wine is part of this merriment,

and the slowing of the tempo and the

quieting of the dynamics seems to reflect

the peaceful sleep that overtakes some of

the party-goers. The last part of the Concerto

illustrates a hunt with horn calls. A chase

ensues, harkening back to the fourteenth

century tradition of the Italian genre called

the “Caccia,” songs that glorified the hunt

through vocal canons (literally one voice

chasing another).

Finally, there is winter, “L’inverno.”

The opening sounds like a shivering person

rhythmically stamping his feet to stay

warm. The soloist provides the icy winds,

and the ensemble responds with chattering

teeth. The middle movement describes the

peaceful pleasure of warming up inside by a

crackling fire. In the final movement, those

outdoors walk carefully on the icy paths,

while those inside feel winter’s chill relentlessly

finding its way into the house. But

still, Vivaldi reminds us, winter—like all the

other seasons—has its specific charms and

31 CENTENNIAL CAMA AT THE SEASON GRANADA CELEBRATION

THEATRE - LOS ANGELES CHAMBER ORCHESTRA

Memoriam

Dr. Robert

Mayo Failing

(1928–2018)

CAMA fondly remembers our long-time Board

member and past President, Dr. Robert Failing, who

passed away last month.

Dr. Failing found time apart from his busy career

as a prominent member of Santa Barbara Cottage

Hospital’s pathology department to serve on the

CAMA Board for 29 years from 1969 to 1997.

He served as CAMA's Vice President for nine years

and for two years as President during the 1978/79

and 1979/80 seasons.

Everyone who knew him will remember him for his

keen intelligence, storytelling wit and astonishing

mountaineering accomplishments.

Over the span of 18 years beginning at age 49

he was the ninth person on record to have reached

the summits of all 50 states in the USA, and reached

the top of six continents, in the process scaling the

highest points of over 45 countries.

Dr. Failing's

Horn Concerto

During his active summer

trips to Europe during

the Cold War years, longtime

CAMA Board member

Dr. Robert M. Failing mixed

classical concert attending

with “peak bagging,”

including ascents of three

of Switzerland’s mightiest.

Failing wrote that his “Swiss

three-movement triplehorn

concerto premiered

in Zermatt. Breithorn, the

first movement, was light

and harmonic. The second

movement, Mettelhorn, was

strong but a little metallic

and dissonant. The concerto

reached the top, climbing to

a booming, melodic third and

final Matterhorn movement.”

He will be greatly missed by everyone in the

CAMA family.
