From Darkness to Sight

From Darkness to Sight chronicles the remarkable life journey of Dr. Ming Wang,

Harvard & MIT (MD, magna cum laude); PhD (laser physics), a world-renowned

laser eye surgeon, philanthropist, and Kiwanis Nashvillian of the Year.

As a teenager, Ming fought valiantly to escape

one of history's darkest eras - China's

Cultural Revolution - during which millions of

innocent youth were deported to remote areas to

face a life sentence of poverty and hard labor.

He eventually made his way to the U.S. with $50

in his pocket, where against all odds, he earned

a PhD in laser physics and graduated with

the highest honors from Harvard Medical

School and MIT.

Dr. Wang has performed over 55,000 eye

procedures including on over 4,000 physicians.

He has published 9 textbooks, holds several U.S.

patents, and performed the world's first laser

artificial cornea implantation. Drs. Ming

Wang and Joshua Frenkel are currently the

only surgeons in the state who performs

3D SMILE and 3D LASIK (18+), 3D

Implantable Contact Lens (21+), 3D Forever

Young Lens (45+), and 3D Laser Cataract Surgery

(60+). Dr. Wang established a non-profit charity,

which to date has helped patients from over 40

states in the U.S. and 55 countries, with all sight

restoration surgeries performed free-of-charge.

MUSIC DIRECTOR

GIANCARLO

GUERRERO

Martha & Bronson Ingram Music Director Chair

Giancarlo Guerrero is a six-time GRAMMY®

Award-winning conductor now in his 11th

season as Music Director of the Nashville

Symphony. Guerrero is also Music Director of the

Wrocław Philharmonic at the National Forum of

Music in Poland and Principal Guest Conductor of

the Gulbenkian Orchestra in Lisbon, Portugal. He

has been praised for his “charismatic conducting

and attention to detail” (Seattle Times) in “viscerally

powerful performances” (Boston Globe) that are

“at once vigorous, passionate and nuanced”

(BachTrack).

Through commissions, recordings and world

premieres, Guerrero and the Nashville Symphony

have championed the works of American composers

who are defining today’s musical landscape,

making Nashville a destination for contemporary

orchestral music. Guerrero has presented 11 world

premieres with the Nashville Symphony, including

the GRAMMY®-winning performance of Michael

Daugherty’s Tales of Hemingway and Terry Riley’s

The Palmian Chord Ryddle.

Guerrero’s rich discography with the Nashville

Symphony numbers 17 recordings, including

the 2019 Naxos release of Jonathan Leshnoff’s

Symphony No. 4 “Heichalos.” The work was

commissioned by the Nashville Symphony for the

Violins of Hope, a collection of restored instruments

that survived the Holocaust. This recording marks

the first time the instruments have been heard

on a commercially available album. Other albums

have been dedicated to the music of composers

as diverse as Jennifer Higdon, Richard Danielpour,

Joan Tower and Béla Fleck.

During the 2019/20 season, Naxos will release

recordings of Aaron Jay Kernis’ Symphony No. 4

and Christopher Rouse’s Concerto for Orchestra,

both recorded with the Nashville Symphony. As

part of his commitment to fostering contemporary

music, Guerrero, together with composer Aaron Jay

Kernis, guided the creation of Nashville Symphony’s

biennial Composer Lab & Workshop for young and

emerging composers.

Guerrero’s 2019/20 season will include return

engagements with the Boston Symphony,

Orquestra Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo,

Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Bamberg

Symphony, Frankfurt Opera and Museums

Orchestra, and the New Zealand Symphony. In

January 2020, Guerrero will conduct the Wrocław

Philharmonic on a 12-city North American tour.

Guerrero has appeared with prominent

North American orchestras, including those of

Baltimore, Cincinnati, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas,

Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Los Angeles,

Milwaukee, Montréal, Philadelphia, Seattle,

Toronto and Vancouver, as well as the National

Symphony Orchestra. He has developed a strong

international guest-conducting profile and has

worked in recent seasons with the Frankfurt Radio

Symphony, Brussels Philharmonic, Deutsches

Radio Philharmonie, Orchestre Philharmonique

de Radio France, Netherlands Philharmonic,

Residentie Orkest, NDR in Hannover, Orquesta

Sinfónica de Galicia and the London Philharmonic

Orchestra, as well as the Queensland Symphony

and Sydney Symphony in Australia. Guerrero

was honored as the keynote speaker at the 2019

League of American Orchestras conference,

where his address on transforming “inspiration

and innovation into meaningful action” was met

with a unified standing ovation.

Guerrero made his debut with Houston Grand

Opera in 2015 conducting Puccini's Madama

INCONCERT

Butterfly. Early in his career, he worked regularly

with the Costa Rican Lyric Opera and has conducted

new productions of Carmen, La bohème and

Rigoletto. In 2008 he gave the Australian premiere

of Osvaldo Golijov's one-act opera Ainadamar at

the Adelaide Festival.

Guerrero previously held posts as the Principal

Guest Conductor of The Cleveland Orchestra

Miami (2011-2016), Music Director of the Eugene

Symphony (2002-2009), and Associate Conductor

of the Minnesota Orchestra (1999-2004).

Born in Nicaragua, Guerrero immigrated during

his childhood to Costa Rica, where he joined

the local youth symphony. As a promising young

student, he came to the United States to study

percussion and conducting at Baylor University in

Texas; he earned his master’s degree in conducting

at Northwestern, where he studied with Victor

Yampolsky. Given his beginnings in civic youth

orchestras, Guerrero is particularly engaged with

conducting training orchestras and has worked

with the Curtis School of Music, Colburn School

in Los Angeles, and Yale Philharmonia, as well

as with the Nashville Symphony’s Accelerando

program. In recent years, he has also developed

a relationship with the National Youth Orchestra

(NYO2) in New York, created and operated by the

Weill Institute of Music at Carnegie Hall.

Kevin Wilt of the Palm Beach Daily News said

of the performance, “In recent years the Kravis

Center has heard performances by the Chicago

Symphony, the Royal Philharmonic, The Philadelphia

Orchestra and more. This one was just as polished

as any of those.”

During the 2018/19 season, Aspinall led

Jacksonville Symphony in two masterworks

subscription programs and a tour with organist

Cameron Carpenter. He was selected as one of

two conducting fellows at the Tanglewood Music

CONDUCTORS

Festival during the summer of 2019.

Formerly, Aspinall held the position of Young

Conductor with the Queensland Symphony

Orchestra in Australia, where he assisted Chief

Conductor Johannes Fritzsch and visiting guest

conductors, and where he conducted concerts

for the orchestra’s education series. He studied

French horn and conducting at the University of

Queensland and upon graduation was awarded

the Hugh Brandon Prize. In 2012, he attended

the Aspen Music Festival, where he was awarded

the Robert J. Harth Conducting Prize.

PROGRAM SUMMARY

“At the close of World War I, Maurice Ravel recorded…the violent death of the 19th-century

world,” cultural historian Carl Schorske writes of La Valse. “The waltz, the symbol of gay

Vienna, became in the composer’s hands a frantic danse macabre.” Although Ravel himself

denied any reference to a “dance of death” or a symbolic depiction of a civilization’s demise,

La Valse is one of his most fascinating and daring scores.

Ravel’s initial dramatic idea for the ballet version of La Valse was to set it in 1855. This

was the very year in which Franz Liszt, an archetypal Romantic, presented his First Piano

Concerto. Liszt came to fame as a prodigy virtuoso who stirred up a wave of hysterical

adulation, coined Lisztomania, with his feats at the keyboard. But his First Piano Concerto

goes beyond such grandstand performances and turns the genre into a synthesis of the

virtuoso concerto with the organically unified symphony.

Like Liszt, Sergei Prokofiev remade his image. The former bad boy of music, who escaped

to the West in the wake of the Bolshevik Revolution, decided to return to his homeland, just

as Stalin was cracking down on fellow composers like Shostakovich. Prokofiev believed he

had developed a new style more accessible to the common people — a style he called the

“New Simplicity.” It was through such works as his ballet score Romeo and Juliet that he

perfected this new approach, with results that continue to cast a spell over audiences today.

After World War I, Serge Diaghilev

commissioned Maurice Ravel to write

another ballet for his company in Paris

— having previously collaborated with the

French composer for Daphnis et Chloé. Ravel

returned to a piece he had started at least more

than a decade before, in which he intended

to pay tribute to the Viennese waltz of the

19th century.

After Ravel completed the orchestral score

in 1920 — having also prepared a two-piano

version that was, appropriately, premiered

in Vienna — Diaghilev turned it down on

the grounds that it was more “the portrait

of a ballet” than an actual ballet. For that

reason, the full orchestral score was first heard

as part of a concert, though Ravel later

collaborated with another choreographer,

Ida Rubinstein, who produced both La Valse

and Boléro as ballets.

The biographer Arbie Orenstein observes

that “the motif of death recurs insistently in

20

JANUARY 2020


CLASSICAL

[Ravel’s] oeuvre.” The composer described La

Valse as “a sort of apotheosis of the Viennese

waltz, mingled with…the impression of a

fantastic, fatal whirling.”

WHAT TO LISTEN FOR

In La Valse, Ravel radically reimagines the

associations conjured by the waltz. The

profound cataclysm of World War I had

imbued the popular dance with an unexpected,

haunting resonance. Even if the widespread

interpretation of this music as a metaphor

for the breakdown of faith in European

civilization was not his intention, contemporary

composer George Benjamin argues that the

score’s “one-movement design plots the birth,

decay and destruction of a musical genre.”

Ravel envisioned this music to accompany

the originally intended ballet, whose scenario

he described as follows: “Swirling clouds afford

glimpses, through rifts, of waltzing couples.

The clouds scatter little by little; one can

distinguish an immense hall with a whirling

crowd. The scene grows progressively brighter.

The light of the chandeliers bursts forth at the

fortissimo. An imperial court, about 1855.”

Ravel exploits the most refined technical

means in his treatment of harmony, rhythmic

accents, dynamics, timbres and even allusions

to the musical past to weave what he described

as a choreographic poem for orchestra.

Opening with the mysterious, indeterminate

sound of muted double basses, the piece

also calls to mind the suddenly varying

perspectives of cinema. Strains of various

waltzes shift in and out of focus.

Midway through, an apparent quotation

of the rhythmic motto of the Scherzo from

Beethoven’s Ninth intrudes with primal

force. What we might have expected as a

recapitulation filters all that has gone

before through a strange new lens, and the

circling momentum of the waltz collapses in

violent entropy.

Ravel’s score calls for 3 flutes (3rd doubling piccolo),

3 oboes (3rd doubling English horn), 2 clarinets,

bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns,

3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion

(triangle, tambourine, snare drum, cymbals, bass

drum, castanets, tam-tam, glockenspiel, crotales),

2 harps and strings.

in Bayreuth, Germany

First performance:

February 17, 1855, with Liszt as

1830-1853;

revised 1855-56

Estimated

March 5, 1957, with soloist

Eugene List and music director

Guy Taylor

The search for extreme experience that

transcends the ordinary is a cornerstone

of Romanticism. With his astounding

virtuosity and his declaration that the piano

represented “the microcosm of music,” Franz

Liszt embodied this worldview. His feats

whipped up a frenzied, hysterical response from

audiences — famously coined “Lisztomania”

by the poet Heinrich Heine. Over a century

later, the director Ken Russell borrowed the

term to title his 1975 film starring The Who’s

Roger Daltrey as the amorous musical hero.

Capable of transforming his instrument

into a veritable orchestra and playing whole

programs from memory, Liszt even titled

one series of fiercely difficult piano pieces

Transcendental Études. And the influence

of his pianism spread far and wide. Take

Ravel: though he is often characterized as

quintessentially French, several of his piano

works show inspiration from Liszt, the

Hungarian purveyor (along with his son-inlaw

Richard Wagner) of the so-called “New

German School.”

Ironically, it was not until Liszt had retired

from his career as a touring virtuoso soloist

that his two concertos for the instrument took

final shape. These works are vintage products

of the years when Liszt determined to focus

on his mission as a composer and a guru to a

new generation of composers. Thus the long

revision process before he felt ready to unveil

the First Piano Concerto, whose first inspiration

dates back to 1830, when he was 19. By 1834,

Liszt had finished a preliminary version, but

he remained unsatisfied and never performed

it, opting in 1839 to begin a wholesale rewrite,

which proceeded in fits and starts alongside his

numerous other projects for another decade

and a half. He was by then also working on

his Second Piano Concerto as well as many

other pieces for solo piano and orchestra,

such as the marvelous Totentanz, inspired by

the “dance of death” depicted on a medieval

Italian fresco. A little over three decades ago,

archives revealed remnants of a third piano

concerto that Liszt never completed.

The long gestation of the First Piano

Concerto helps explain the disparate identities

embedded in this work. Liszt the virtuoso

superhero coexists with the avant-garde

composer striving to evolve novel compositional

techniques. While he was working on the final

form of this concerto, Liszt developed further

his more radical concept of the orchestral

symphonic poem. Wagner declared that purely

orchestral music was a dead end and that the

path of the future demanded a breakdown of

established genres and artistic disciplines to

create a new, text-based synthesis of music

22

CLASSICAL

and drama. Even though he was an advocate

of Wagner’s music, Liszt pursued his own

vision of the “music of the future” in these

wordless symphonic poems.

Using his idea of what he called “thematic

transformation,” Liszt evolved a forwardlooking

technique for his instrumental works.

The transformation in question goes far

beyond the conventional process of theme

and variations. It involves the subtle reworking

and development of a small set of thematic

ideas to generate the musical substance of a

work. The very character of the theme itself

can be heard to change as it is presented in

varying contexts.

Such thematic transformation has some

kinship with the “idée fixe” or obsessive

(musical) idea that Berlioz developed in his

Symphonie fantastique. It was actually Berlioz

who conducted the world premiere of the First

Piano Concerto, as part of a Berlioz Festival

that Liszt had organized in Weimar, where he

was serving as the court’s music director. The

year of the premiere, 1855, is, incidentally, the

same year Ravel imagined as the setting for

his original scenario for La Valse.

WHAT TO LISTEN FOR

Though it lacks the kinds of programmatic

associations with an outside literary text

or work of art that are an essential feature of

symphonic poems, the First Piano Concerto

shares with them the concern for organic unity.

Thus, like Liszt’s great Piano Sonata in B minor

from the early 1850s, the Concerto contains

multiple movements that are interconnected

and played as a single vast movement, with

only brief pauses to separate them. Viewed

independently, the Concerto’s four movements

suggest the outline of a symphony: an opening

Allegro maestoso, a slow movement, a Scherzo

and a finale. Liszt’s writing throughout does not

stint on virtuoso demands. But such displays

are integrated within the innovative design —

concerto symphonique was one of his preferred

terms for this type of piece, implying a synthesis

of concerto and symphony.

The concept of thematic transformation

drives the entire work. Liszt introduces the

main thematic idea in rawest form right at the

start: an imperious seven-note motto stated by

the string body, followed by a curt two-note

response from the woodwinds. Liszt — or,

more likely, his champion Hans von Bülow —

jokingly fit words to this motto mocking the

composer’s critics: Das versteht ihr alle nicht,

haha! (“Not a single one of you gets it, haha!”)

It is fascinating to trace Liszt’s transformations

— in timbre, mood, interaction and so on —

of this tight chromatic motto. From its first

entrance, the pianist intensifies it into a dazzling

mini-cadenza, for example, which then takes

shape as a melancholy duet with solo clarinet,

another major protagonist in this work. The

slow movement is closer in spirit to Italian bel

canto singing. (If your ear conjures Chopin

during this movement, recall that this form

of opera was an abiding inspiration to him as

well.) In the Scherzo section, Liszt’s use of the

triangle stirred controversy — not just from

conservative critics, but even from Wagner,

who complained to Liszt’s daughter (and, later,

Wagner’s wife) Cosima about its “vulgarity.”

Music from preceding sections is continually

rethreaded into the fabric, with the spirited

finale providing a summation. In its final

pages, Liszt supplies a coda of assertive,

even manic energy — as if wrapping up an

ordinary virtuoso concerto rather than the

unusual vision to which we have just been

made witnesses.

In addition to solo piano, the First Concerto is

scored for 2 flutes and piccolo, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets,

2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones,

timpani, cymbals, triangle and strings.

SERGEI PROKOFIEV

Suite from Romeo and Juliet

Born on April 23, 1891, in

Sontsovka, Ukraine (part of the

Russian Empire at the time)

Died on March 5, 1953,

in Moscow

Composed:

1935

(complete ballet)

Estimated

length:

38 minutes

Sergei Prokofiev emerged as one of the

icons of early 20th-century Modernism.

He cultivated this image while living a life of

voluntary exile from his Russian homeland in

the 1920s, first trying (without much success)

to conquer the United States and then moving

around Paris and other parts of Western

Europe. But after nearly two decades abroad

in the West, Prokofiev longed to return to

Russia, which of course was a vastly different

place under Stalin’s control.

Soviet authorities sweetened the allure for

the nomadic composer by ensuring special

privileges, such as a roomy Moscow apartment

and permission to keep his beloved blue Ford

as private property. The ballet Romeo and

Juliet originated during this period and was

an undertaking of enormous importance,

since it would mark Prokofiev’s first major

work specifically intended for the Soviet

stage. And so in 1936 a “prodigal son” came

back to the socialist paradise. But in January

of that year, Pravda’s notorious attack on

the young Dmitri Shostakovich signaled an

ominous change. His offense? Daring to write

“Formalist” music (in other words, in a style

deemed insufficiently accessible). The official

reprimand foreshadowed a long-lasting era

of harshly repressive cultural politics which

discouraged innovation.

On his own, Prokofiev had begun to turn

First performance:

The complete ballet was first performed

on December 30, 1938, in Brno (part

of what was then Czechoslovakia). The

first two Concert Suites were premiered

before the ballet: November 24, 1936, in

Moscow (Suite No. 1) and April 15, 1937,

in Leningrad (Suite No. 2).

First Nashville Symphony

performance:

October 12-14, 1978, with music

director Michael Charry

away from his former avant-garde stance in

favor of what he called a “new simplicity.” By

this he meant a stylistic direction that avoided

novelty for the sake of novelty but, at the same

time, was not merely a return to “old-fashioned”

forms and ideas. The ballet Romeo and Juliet,

which Prokofiev composed in the white heat

of inspiration during the summer of 1935,

brims with the newfound lyricism and

directness of this “new simplicity” and remains

one of Prokofiev’s best-loved achievements.

For the scenario, he collaborated with the

adventurous director Sergei Radlov, who

had introduced important avant-garde

works in the years just after the Bolshevik

Revolution (including The Love for Three

Oranges, Prokofiev’s operatic mating of

commedia dell’arte with Surrealism). Together,

they tailored Shakespeare’s play into a ballet

of 52 mostly brief scenes. The biographer

Harlow Robinson notes that this fleetingly

episodic, “montage-like dramatic structure”

likely was inspired by Prokofiev’s recent forays

into film music.

The original Prokofiev/Radlov scenario,

however, devised a “happy ending” simply by

altering the timing of Romeo’s return in the

tomb scene — possibly a politically cautious

bow to the doctrine of “Socialist Realism,”

with its insistence on conveying an optimistic,

upbeat tone. But Prokofiev came to realize

24

JANUARY 2020


CLASSICAL

that his music contradicted this false happy

ending — how could the strains of “Romeo

at the Tomb of Juliet” do otherwise? — and

Shakespeare’s tragic conclusion was restored.

As it turned out, internal developments did

interfere with the reception of Romeo and Juliet.

In the tense aftermath of the Shostakovich

affair, the Bolshoi Theater broke its contract to

produce the premiere. The dancers complained

about the difficulties of negotiating Prokofiev’s

complex meters. What later earned recognition

as a great classic of the Soviet era and of the

last century in general was thus initially staged

outside the Soviet Union — in Brno (in what

was then Czechoslovakia), in 1938. This was an

abridged version in just one act, and Prokofiev

was not allowed to attend. But it proved to be

a great triumph.

Meanwhile, Prokofiev fashioned two

orchestral suites so he could present his music

to the Russian public in the concert hall. He

also prepared a piano suite called Ten Pieces

for Piano. The belated Soviet premiere of

the ballet occurred on January 11, 1940, at

the Kirov Theater in Leningrad and actually

won the composer a Stalin Prize. Prokofiev

introduced a third suite in 1946 as well. The

complete ballet score itself runs close to three

hours in duration.

WHAT TO LISTEN FOR

Many conductors have responded to the

challenge of representing the essence

of Romeo and Juliet by devising their own

arrangements, mixing and matching excerpts

from the three suites. For this performance,

guest conductor JoAnn Falletta has selected

nine numbers from Suites 1 and 2.

The darkly ominous “Montagues and

Capulets” (Suite 2, No. 1) centers on the

prideful strutting of the “Dance of the Knights”

from the first act; perhaps the score’s most

famous number, this piece sets up the violent

context in which this young love so improbably,

and yet so inevitably, blossoms. Prokofiev

deftly portrays the innocence of Juliet, while

the tenderness shared between her and Romeo

never falters into cheap sentimentality. The

music of the ball where they meet evokes

Prokofiev’s neoclassical vein.

The more consciously “populist” style

Prokofiev adopts does not prevent him from

introducing harsh dissonances or surprising

tonal shifts. He cleverly contrasts his portrayal

of the humble, trustworthy Friar Laurence

— the kindhearted Franciscan who hopes

to make lasting peace by joining the two in

marriage — with the decorous passion of

the lovers. The score’s most incandescent

lyricism is reserved for the lengthy balcony

scene, as the winds chirp like a celestial clock

for the lovers who want time to stand still.

After Mercutio is fatally wounded in his duel

with Tybalt, Romeo fatefully seeks to avenge

him and slays Tybalt in a scene of bloodcurdling,

violent emotion that anticipates

aspects of West Side Story. The so-called

“Dance of the Antilles Girls” — Juliet’s servants

— refers to a passage that is not found in

Shakespeare but somehow made its way into the

Russian treatment.

At the conclusion of this Suite, we discover

Romeo at Juliet’s tomb. Here Prokofiev takes

advantage of music’s unique capacity to summon

memories in an instant, bringing out the

inconsolable sadness of the encounter. Unlike

the ironic poses of his earlier experimental

years, the composer remains directly invested

in the feelings being evoked onstage — and in

the primacy of that experience, made present

through his economical use of leitmotifs and

richly satisfying orchestration.

The Romeo and Juliet Suite is scored for 2 flutes,

piccolo, 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets, bass

clarinet, tenor saxophone, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon,

4 horns, 2 trumpets, cornet, 3 trombones,

tuba, timpani, percussion, harp, piano, celesta

and strings.

This season CYC is joined by MET Alumni Singers. These alumni serve as rehearsal mentors,

guiding singers in the professionalism that is a hallmark of our performance decorum. We are

proud to have the opportunity to partner with the Davidson County Relative Caregivers Program

of Family and Children’s Services. This partnership expands opportunities to new singers.

MARGARET CAMPBELLE-HOLMAN

Celebration Youth Chorus Director

Margaret Campbelle-

Holman is founder

of the MET Singers and

executive director of Choral Arts Link. Toward

the end of her 29 years in public schools,

she founded the MET Singers (1997), which

evolved to her current status as executive

director of Choral Arts Link (2004), a nonprofit

devoted to fostering choral legacies for Middle

Tennessee singers. She is author of two K-8

music series and two eBooks on Tennessee

music published by McGraw-Hill Education.

Campbelle-Holman was recently called a

paradigm shifter; her arts access collaborations

and creative resource partnerships have

effectively linked singers to Nashville cultural

institutions. Through this network-building,

the MET Singers have performed as the

Celebration Youth Chorus during Nashville

Symphony’s Let Freedom Sing concert since

1998.

Her vision and strategic planning continue

leading the way, offering Middle Tennessee

a model of choral artistry for children and

youth that meets and exceeds the Nashville

Symphony’s high standards.

RODERICK GEORGE, tenor

Distinguished

American tenor

Roderick George made his

New York Lincoln Center

debut as a soloist in Handel’s Messiah at David

Geffen Hall with the National Chorale, and he

has appeared at Carnegie Hall as a featured

soloist for the Gotham Sings Choral Showcase.

Regularly engaged as a soloist in major concert

and oratorio works, his repertoire spans from

Bach’s Magnificat and Mozart’s Requiem,

through Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and

Rossini’s Stabat Mater, to Carl Orff 's Carmina

Burana and contemporary works by Adolphus

Hailstork and H. Leslie Adams.

George’s 2019/20 engagements include a

return to the Alabama Symphony for Messiah,

Hailstork’s I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes for his

debut with the Nashville Symphony, Messiah

with the Shoals Symphony, and Dett’s Chariot

Jubilee for the Eighth National Convention of

the National Collegiate Choral Organization

in Baltimore, Maryland.

George has made appearances at numerous

international festivals and venues, including

Festival Internacional de Musica Sacra in

Ecuador, La Folle Journée in France, Festival

Internacional de la Porta Ferrada and Festival

Internacional de Santander in Spain, the

Cayman Arts Festival of the Grand Cayman

Islands, Notre-Dame Cathedral and the

American Cathedral in Paris, Lensoveta Palace

of Culture in St. Petersburg, the Royal Dublin

Society and Wexford Opera House in Ireland.

He has performed a diversity of leading lyric

tenor opera roles.

A champion of American art song and an

avid song recitalist, George specializes in art

song repertoire set to the texts of Paul Laurence

Dunbar and Langston Hughes.

NFM WROCŁAW PHILHARMONIC

NFM Wrocław Philharmonic was founded

in 1945. Until 1949, the orchestra was

both a symphony and an opera orchestra,

next to become the State Opera in Wrocław’s

orchestra. In 1954, it became an independent

symphony orchestra. In 1994, it adopted the

name of Witold Lutosławski in memory of

the great composer, and on the opening of

Wrocław’s new concert hall, the National Forum

of Music in 2015, it became the NFM Wroclaw

Philharmonic. The impressive architectural

Exclusive Tour Management:

design by Kuryłowicz & Associates and praised

acoustics and theater design by Artec (now

Arup) have created a unique home for the

orchestra, in which during the first two seasons

NFM Wrocław Philharmonic performed for

almost 100,000 people.

As a principal resident ensemble of the

National Forum of Music, the orchestra

participates in a huge range of projects each

season, including subscription concerts,

educational programs, open-air performances

PRESENTATION

and recording sessions. The orchestra’s

involvement in educational activities does

not only focus on concerts for schoolchildren

and youth, but also extends to collaborations

with the Karol Lipiński Academy of Music,

as well as participating in its own programs:

Orchestral Academy and Choral Academy.

Thanks to its collaborations with festivals

presented by the National Forum of Music

such as Jazztopad and Musica Electronica

Nova, the NFM Wrocław Philharmonic enjoys

regular collaborations with some leading avant

garde and jazz artists. In recent seasons, these

included John Zorn, Wynton Marsalis with

Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, and Terje

Rypdal. A CD featuring the NFM Wrocław

Philharmonic’s concert with Rypdal was

released on the prestigious ECM label.

The orchestra enjoyed a long collaboration

with Jacek Kaspszyk, who, during his sevenyear

tenure as principal conductor and artistic

director (2006-13), contributed greatly to

the ensemble’s development. Subsequently,

between 2013-16, the orchestra worked with

Benjamin Shwartz, with whom the ensemble

began a recording series dedicated to the

work of contemporary Polish composers. The

first disc with the symphonic works of Paweł

Mykietyn was released in the spring of 2017.

Well known for its commitment to

presenting the 20th- and 21st-century

symphonic repertoire, the NFM Wrocław

Philharmonic regularly performs works

commissioned by and for the National Forum

of Music. The orchestra is currently recording

the complete works of its patron, Witold

Lutosławski, for the CD Accord label. A

recording of Symphonies Nos. 2 & 4 conducted

by Jacek Kaspszyk won a Fryderyk award of

the Polish Phonographic Academy in 2011;

this was followed in 2013 with Symphony No.

1 and the Concerto for Orchestra, conducted

by Stanisław Skrowaczewski. The orchestra

regularly performs in prominent venues in

Poland, as well as touring Europe and the U.S.

Hall, Théâtre des Champs-Élysées and the

Concertgebouw Amsterdam. His collaborations

with orchestra have included appearances

with the Berlin Philharmonic and Berlin

works, the latter also receiving a Gramophone

Award in 2006. His recording devoted to works

by Robert Schumann received BBC Music

THANK YOU TO

Selections to be announced from the stage.

This concert will last approximately 75 minutes.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

STEVE

HACKMAN

conductor

Steve Hackman is a

daring voice leading

a new generation of classical musicians intent

on redefining the genre. His breadth of musical

fluency and technique is uncanny — he is

at once a composer, conductor, producer, DJ,

arranger, songwriter, singer, pianist and rapper.

Hackman’s unique style of musical

metamorphosis sees modern musical

techniques applied to the classical repertoire

and vice versa. The result is evocative hybrid

works that are derivative yet wholly original —

he synthesizes Brahms and Radiohead, Bartók

and Björk, and Tchaikovsky and Drake into

orchestral tone-poems; reimagines Stravinsky

and Shostakovich into orchestral-electronic

concept albums; samples Verdi and Debussy

and interpolates them into hip-hop tracks.

Recent highlights include the October

2018 debut of his newest creation, West Side

X West Side, an orchestral/hip-hop synthesis

of Bernstein’s West Side Story and the music

of rappers Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Tupac, Ice

Cube, Warren G and Kendrick Lamar. And

last January, Hackman premiered his choral

treatment of Bob Dylan — a 15-song anthology

entitled The Times They Are A-Changin’, with

the Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh.

Hackman has worked as a composer and

arranger for a number of artists and choral

ensembles — including the string trio Time

for Three and violinist Joshua Bell — and

his orchestrations for Time for Three, Arlo

Guthrie, The Five Browns and others have

been performed by major American orchestra.

Hackman studied counterpoint, composition

and improvisation under Dr. Ford Lallerstedt

at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia;

received an advanced diploma in conducting

at Curtis under Otto-Werner Mueller; and

studied with David Zinman at the American

Academy of Conducting at Aspen.

NASHVILLE SYMPHONY

LEGACY SOCIETY

LEAVING A LEGACY, BUILDING A FUTURE

The Nashville Symphony is grateful to those donors who have remembered the orchestra in their

estate plans. Legacy gifts to the Nashville Symphony help Middle Tennessee’s resident orchestra

achieve its mission of making beautiful music, reaching diverse audiences and improving life in our

community for generations to come through the following:

– World-class performances of enduring orchestral music, from Bach to Beethoven to Bernstein

– Affordable ticket prices for music lovers of all ages and backgrounds

– Commissions and recordings of America’s leading composers, who are keeping classical music

relevant for 21st-century audiences

– Life-changing education programs that provide inspiration, instruction and mentorship for

students from kindergarten through high school

– The acoustical brilliance of Schermerhorn Symphony Center, a venue

built to serve the entire community

Be “instrumental” in our success by sharing your passion for music with future generations.

For more information on the many creative ways to make a planned gift, please visit

NashvilleSymphony.org/plannedgiving or call Andrew Shafer at 615.687.6484.
