A Letter from the President
Welcome to this University Musical Society performance. Thank you for supporting UMS and the performing arts in our community by attending this event. The 1998-99 season is one of our most exciting ever. So diverse in its scope, it is impossible for me to zero in on just one event. Complementing our continued focus on music of all kinds, I would like to make special mention of our emphasis on dance and dance audience development this season. As our 1998-99 dance promotional campaign states, UMS is "simply committed to the best in dance for Michigan."
We're very pleased that you're at this event and hope you'll consider attending other UMS performances as well as some of the educational and social events surrounding our concerts.
You'll find listings of all of these events in this program book on page 22 through 25.
I'm privileged to work with a dedicated and talented staff. One of them, box office representative Sally Cushing, is celebrating 30 years with UMS this season, representing the longest-serving employee among our current staff. The entire UMS family joins me in thanking Sally for her loyalty, friendli?ness, and commitment to providing outstanding service to all of our patrons. Say "hi" to Sally
when you next call or stop by the box office. I hope we have a chance to meet. I'd like to hear your thoughts about this performance. I'd also be pleased to answer any questions and to learn anything we can do at UMS to make your concertgoing experience the best possible. Your feedback and ideas for ways we can improve are always welcome. If we don't see each other in the lobby, please call my office at Burton Tower on the campus (734-647-1174) or send me an e-mail message at kenfisch@umich.edu.
Sincerely,
Kenneth C. Fischer, President

EVERY TURN
University Musical Society
of the University of Michigan
The goal of the University Musical Society (UMS) is clear: to engage, educate, and serve Michigan audiences by bringing to our community an ongoing series of world-class artists, who represent the diverse spectrum of today's vigorous and exciting live performing arts world. Over its 120 years, strong leader?ship coupled with a devoted community have placed UMS in a league of internationally-recognized performing arts presenters. Today, the UMS seasonal program is a reflection of a thoughtful respect for this rich and varied his?tory, balanced by a commitment to dynamic and creative visions of where the performing arts will take us in the next millennium. Every day UMS seeks to cultivate, nurture and stim?ulate public interest and participation in every facet of the live arts.
UMS grew from a group of local university
and townspeople who gathered together for the study of Handel's Messiah. Led by Professor Henry Frieze and conducted by Professor Calvin Cady, the group assumed the name The Choral Union. Their first perfor?mance of Handel's Messiah was in December of 1879, and this glorious oratorio has since been performed by the UMS Choral Union annually.
As a great number of Choral Union members also belonged to the University, the University Musical Society was established in December 1880. UMS included the Choral Union and University Orchestra, and through?out the year presented a series of concerts fea?turing local and visiting artists and ensembles.
Since that first season in 1880, UMS has expanded greatly and now presents the very best from the full spectrum of the performing arts -internationally renowned recitalists and orchestras, dance and chamber ensembles, jazz and world music performers, and opera and theatre. Through educational endeavors, com?missioning of new works, youth programs, artists residencies and other collaborative pro?jects, UMS has maintained its reputation for quality, artistic distinction and innovation. UMS now hosts over 80 performances and more than 150 educational events each season. UMS has flourished with the support of a generous community which gathers in Hill and Rackham Auditoria, the Power Center, the Michigan Theater, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, and Nichols Arboretum.
While proudly affiliated with the University of Michigan, housed on the Ann Arbor campus, and a regular collaborator with many University units, UMS is a separate not-for-profit organi?zation, which supports itself from ticket sales, corporate and individual contributions, foun?dation and government grants, and endowment income.
UMS Choral Union
Thomas Sheets, conductor
For more information about the UMS Choral Union, please call 734.763.8997.
Throughout its 120-year history, the UMS Choral Union has performed with many of the world's distinguished orchestras and conduc?tors.
Based in Ann Arbor under the aegis of the University Musical Society, the 180-voice Choral Union remains best known for its annual per?formances of Handel's Messiah each December. Four years ago, the Choral Union further enriched that tradition when it began appearing regularly with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Among other works, the chorus has joined the DSO in Orchestra Hall and at Meadowbrook for sub?scription performances of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, Orff's Carmina Burana, Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe, and Prokofiev's Aleksandr Nevsky, and has recorded Tchaikovsky's The Snow Maiden with the orchestra for Chandos, Ltd.
In 1995, the Choral Union began an artistic association with the Toledo Symphony, inaugu?rating the partnership with a performance of Britten's War Requiem, and continuing with per?formances of Berlioz' Requiem, Elgar's The Dream ofGerontius and Verdi's Requiem. During the 1996-97 season, the Choral Union again expanded its scope to include perfor?mances with the Grand Rapids Symphony, join?ing with them in a rare presentation of Mahler's Symphony No. 8 (Symphony of a Thousand).
Evidence of the Choral Union's artistic range can be found in the breadth of repertoire from the 1997-98 season: on one hand, the singers gave acclaimed performances of Mendelssohn's Elijah and Handel's Messiah in Hill Auditorium, and on the other, equally successful concert pre?sentations of Porgy and Bess with the Birmingham-Bloomfield Symphony Orchestra and musical theatre favorites with Erich Kunzel and the DSO at Meadow Brook.
This season, the UMS Choral Union will perform in three major subscription series at Orchestra Hall with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and Neeme Jarvi, including perfor?mances of Brahms' A German Requiem, Kodaly's Psalmus Hungaricus, and Rachmaninoff's mon?umental The Bells. Other programs include Handel's Messiah and Mozart's Requiem with the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra, and Carmina Burana with the Toledo Symphony.
Participation in the Choral Union remains open to all by audition. Representing a mixture of townspeople, students and faculty, members of the Choral Union share one common passion -a love of the choral art

Auditoria
Hill Auditorium
Standing tall and proud in the heart of the University of Michigan campus, Hill Auditorium is associated with the best performing artists the world has to offer. Inaugurated at the 20th Annual Ann Arbor May Festival in 1913, this impressive structure has served as a showplace for a variety of impor?tant debuts and long relationships throughout the past 84 years. With acoustics that highlight everything from the softest notes of vocal recitalists to the grandeur of the finest orches?tras, Hill Auditorium is known and loved throughout the world.
Former U-M regent Arthur Hill bequeathed $200,000 to the University for the construction of an auditorium for lectures, concerts and other university events. Then-UMS President Charles Sink raised an additional $150,000, and the concert hall opened in 1913 with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra perform-
ing Beethoven's Symphony No. 5. The auditorium seated 4,597 when it first opened; sub?sequent renovations, which increased the size of the stage to accommodate both an orchestra and a large chorus (1948) and improved wheelchair seating (1995), decreased
Hill Auditorium
the seating capacity to its current 4,163.
Hill Auditorium is slated for renovation. Developed by Albert Kahn and Associates (architects of the original concert hall), the renovation plans include elevators, expanded bathroom facilities, air conditioning, greater backstage space, artists' dressing rooms, and many other improvements and patron conve?niences.
Rackham Auditorium
Sixty years ago, chamber music concerts in Ann Arbor were a relative rarity, presented in an assortment of venues including University Hall (the precursor to Hill Auditorium), Hill Auditorium, and Newberry Hall, the current home of the Kelsey Museum. When Horace H. Rackham, a Detroit lawyer who believed strongly in the importance of the study of human history and human thought, died in 1933, his will established the Horace H. Rackham and Mary A. Rackham Fund, which subsequently awarded the University of Michigan the funds not only to build the Horace H. Rackham Graduate School which houses the 1,129-seat Rackham Auditorium, but also to establish a $4 million endowment to further the development of graduate stud?ies. Even more remarkable than the size of the gift, which is still considered one of the most ambitious ever given to higher-level education, is the fact that neither of the Rackhams ever attended the University of Michigan.
Power Center for the Performing Arts
The Power Center for the Performing Arts grew out of a realization that the University of Michigan had no adequate proscenium-stage theatre for the performing arts. Hill Auditorium was too massive and technically limited for most productions, and the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre too small. The Power Center was designed to supply this missing link in design and seating capacity.
In 1963, Eugene and Sadye Power, together with their son Philip, wished to make a major gift to the University, and amidst a list of University priorities was mentioned "a new theatre." The Powers were immediately interest?ed, realizing that state and federal government were unlikely to provide financial support for the construction of a new theatre.
The Power Center opened in 1971 with the world premiere of The Grass Harp (based
on the novel by Truman Capote). No seat in the Power Center is more than 72 feet from the stage. The lobby of the Power Center fea?tures two hand-woven tapestries: Modern Tapestry by Roy Lichtenstein and Volutes by Pablo Picasso.
Michigan Theater
The historic Michigan Theater opened January 5,1928 at the peak of the vaudeville movie palace era. Designed by Maurice Finkel, the 1,710-seat theater cost around $600,000 when it was first built. The gracious facade and beautiful interior housed not only the theater, but nine stores, offices on the second floor and bowling alleys running the length of the basement. As was the custom of the day, the theater was equipped to host both film and live stage events, with a full-size stage, dressing rooms, an orchestra pit, and the Barton Theater Organ, acclaimed as the best of its kind in the country. Restoration of the balcony, outer lobby and facade is planned for 2003.
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church
In June 1950, Father Leon Kennedy was appointed pastor of a new parish in Ann Arbor. Seventeen years later ground was bro?ken to build a permanent church building, and on March 19,1969 John Cardinal Dearden dedicated the new St. Francis of Assisi Church. Father James McDougal was appointed pastor in 1997.
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church has grown from 248 families when it first started to more than 2,800 today. The present church seats 900 people and has ample free parking. In 1994 St. Francis purchased a splendid three manual "mechanical action" organ with thirty-four stops and forty-five ranks, built and installed by Orgues Letourneau from Saint Hyacinthe, Quebec. Through dedication, a commitment to superb liturgical music and a vision to the future, the parish improved the
Auditoria, continued
acoustics of the church building, and the reverberant sanctuary has made the church a gathering place for the enjoyment and contem?plation of sacred a cappella choral music and early music ensembles.
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
Notwithstanding an isolated effort to estab?lish a chamber music series by faculty and students in 1938, UMS most recently began presenting artists in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre in 1993, when Eartha Kitt and Barbara Cook graced the stage of the intimate 658-seat theatre for the 100th May Festival's Cabaret Ball. Now, with a new programmatic initiative to present song in recital, the superlative Mendelssohn Theatre has become a recent venue addition to the Musical Society's roster and the home of the Song Recital series.
Detroit Opera House
The Detroit Opera House opened in April of 1996 following an extensive renovation by Michigan Opera Theatre. Boasting a 75,000 square foot stage house (the largest stage between New York and Chicago), an orchestra pit large enough to accommodate 100 musi?cians and an acoustical virtue to rival the world's great opera houses, the 2,800-seat facil?ity has rapidly become one of the most viable and coveted theatres in the nation. In only two seasons, the Detroit Opera House became the foundation of a landmark programming col?laboration with the Nederlander organization and Olympia Entertainment, formed a part?nership with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and played host to more than 500 performers and special events. As the home of Michigan Opera Theatre's grand opera season and dance series, and through quality programming, partnerships and educational initiatives, the Detroit Opera House plays a vital role in enriching the lives of the community.
Burton Memorial Tower
Seen from miles away, this well-known University of Michigan and Ann Arbor landmark is the box office and administrative location for the University Musical Society. Completed in 1935 and designed by Albert Kahn, the 10-story tower is built of Indiana limestone with a height of 212 feet. During the academic year, visitors may climb up to the observation deck and watch the carillon being played from noon to 12:30 pm weekdays when classes are in session and most Saturdays from 10:15 to 10:45 am.
Education and Audience Development
During the past year, the University Musical Society's Education and Audience Development program has grown significantly. With a goal of deepening the understanding of the impor?tance of live performing arts as well as the major impact the arts can have in the com?munity, UMS now seeks out active and dynamic collaborations and partnerships to reach into the many diverse communities it serves.
Several programs have been established to meet the goals of UMS' Education and Audience Development program, including specially designed Family and Student (K-12) perfor?mances. This year, more than 7,000 students will attend the Youth Performance Series, which includes The Harlem Nutcracker, Trinity Irish Dance Company, The Gospel at Colonus, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra with Pepe Romero, Kodo, and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. In addition to the Youth Performance Series, UMS inaugurates its new First Acts program, bringing school children to regularly sched?uled evening and weekend performances and providing educational contexts. For more information on UMS youth education pro?grams, please call 734.647.6712.

Second Rhapsody for Orchestra with Piano
An American in Paris
George Gershwin
Born September 26, 1898 in Brooklyn,
New York. Died July 11, 1937 in Hollywood, California.
Almost from his birth, George Gershwin was torn between the refined tastes and manners of the "better class" of Americans and the sassy vitality of popular music. His earliest musical memory, he said once, was of an automatic piano in a penny arcade on New York's 125th Street, playing Anton Rubinstein's Melody in F. "The peculiar jumps in the music," Gershwin recalled, "held me rooted." The five-year-old future composer had discovered the way that wide melodic skips intensify feeling and make a tune memorable.
Popular music was everywhere then, of course, but so were the classics. By age fourteen, George was attending recitals by celebrated soloists such as Efrem Zimbalist, Josef Lhevinne, and Leopold Godowsky; playing piano in the Beethoven Society Orchestra at Public School 63; and taking lessons with Charles Hambitzer in piano and Edward Kilenyi in music theory -two champions of twentieth-century music. George was just fifteen when he quit school to become, as he said, "probably the youngest piano pounder ever employed in Tin Pan Alley." In those days before demo discs, George's assignment was to travel from music store to music store, selling sheet music by performing it -in his own "improved" versions, of course. Playing all day, every day, George continued to grow and develop as a pianist, mastering all the current styles from waltzes to ragtime. A nervous, anything-goes era swept the country after World War I. The Yanks returning from Europe reported that "jazz,"
meaning syncopated rhythms and blues har?monies, was suddenly the rage on the conti?nent, adding its coloration to works by Ravel, Stravinsky, and many others, while Americans returned the compliment with a booming interest in old-world culture on the radio. Inevitably, the sort of experiments we today might call "third stream" or crossover began to appear: The Broadway extravaganza George White's Scandals of 1922 included the one-act "opera" Blue Monday, composed by the noted young songwriter and author of the colossal hit "Swanee," George Gershwin. When bandleader Paul Whiteman, the self-crowned "King of Jazz," heard about these experiments, he proposed that Gershwin write a "jazz concerto" for his dance orches?tra. The resulting piece, Rhapsody in Blue, was introduced in February 1924, dazzling a Carnegie Hall audience that included many of the leading musicians of the day. It was a breakthrough event. George Gershwin, song-plugger and tunesmith, was a hit in the concert hall.
In the 1931 movie Delicious, starring Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell, a composer with a Russian accent introduces his "New York Rhapsody" at the piano with the fol?lowing dialogue: "It begins like we all see the city first: the great towers almost in the clouds. Down below, in the long furrows, human seeds trying to grow to the light. And noise: riveters drumming your ear
from every side__And this is the night
motif: night, silencing the rivets." The shot dissolves into a montage of crowd scenes, and the music spins out for about eight minutes over views of the cityscape. George Gershwin, the real-life Russian-American composer of that piece, did not know at first whether it would have a life in the concert hall. But then he heard from the distinguished Russian emigre conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Serge Koussevitzky. This champion of America's
most highbrow composers had never com?missioned a work from Gershwin, son of Tin Pan Alley. Now he was inquiring whether Gershwin had a new work he could present in Boston. Gershwin returned to his "New York Rhapsody." Although the manu?script contains the inscription "Finished May 23,1931," Gershwin continued to work on it, expanding it in anticipation of the Boston premiere on January 29, 1932, an event that, in his mind, carried considerable prestige. No doubt this is why, after consid?ering the title "Rhapsody in Rivets," he set?tled on the more classical Second Rhapsody. The Second Rhapsody was not published in score until the 1950s, when the publishers decided to edit and reorchestrate the work. Michael Tilson Thomas was a key player in recovering the original version, which we hear at this concert.
After a rhapsodic piano introduction, the riveters start to hammer away. Other distinctive motifs are stirred into the mix, reflecting Gershwin's study of counterpoint around the time he composed this piece. The rivet theme is often set to a 3+3+2 rumba beat. The music is nervous, brilliant?ly scored, and endlessly mutable. Even the tender, lyrical theme, with its Rachmaninoff-like swell and climax, constantly probes and expands its harmonic range. The long, whimsical coda is still more adventurous, beginning with a transformation of the repeated-note theme into a satirical little march, and closing with ironic "nyaah-nyaah" phrases in the strings. This acerbic music shows a new, more modern Gershwin refin?ing his art in the later stages of his brief career.
By January 1928, Gershwin had come to feel confident enough to compose an orchestral work without a piano solo part for himself. He had created two hit shows, Funny Face and Rosalie, that were now running in New York at the same time, and he was ready for
a change of scene. An invitation from friends in Paris to visit that city started him think?ing about a "rhapsodic ballet," which acquired its title almost immediately: An American in Paris.
Already a connoisseur of everything French, Gershwin wasted no time getting started on his new piece. When the composer and his brother Ira boarded a steamer for Europe that March 9, George had already laid out the work in versions for one and two pianos. His stay in Paris, which lasted from late March to early June, was a happy whirl of parties, museums, and sightseeing. Through it all, George worked steadily on An American in Paris, reconciling the Paris of his imagination with the real thing. His hostess Mabel Schirmer took him on a shopping trip to the auto supply stores on the Grande Armee, where he tooted every horn in stock before selecting several to experiment with as he composed; four of the horns went with him back to New York, and they would add local color to the work's premiere, which Walter Damrosch conducted with the New York Symphony Orchestra on December 13, 1928.
In painting his French scene, Gershwin helped himself to the moody impressionism of Debussy and the sassy, jazzy boulevardier idiom of Poulenc and Milhaud. To an inter?viewer, Gershwin offered a few fanciful images to guide the listener through the piece. The bustling first section, he said, portrays "the impressions of an American visitor in Paris as he strolls about the city, listens to various street noises, and absorbs the French atmosphere.
"Our American friend," Gershwin went on, "perhaps after strolling into a cafe and having a few drinks, suddenly succumbs to a spasm of homesickness. The harmony here is both more intense and simple than in the preceding pages." This paradoxical descrip?tion covers not only the work's signature tune, a finely sculpted blues melody, but the
hot number in Caribbean rhythm (derived from the work's opening theme) that inter?rupts it. The big tune reaches several climaxes before the American, "having left the cafe and reached the open air, has downed his spell of blues and once again is an alert spectator of Parisian life." All the themes come back for a bow -and some witty new combinations -in the ebullient coda.

Symphony No. 1 in D Major
Gustav Mahler
Born July 7, 1860 in Kalischt (Kaliste), near
Humpolec, Bohemia. Died May 18, 1911 in Vienna.
Mahler composed this symphony, the most original first symphony since the Berlioz Symphonic Fantastique, in high hopes of being understood. But he enjoyed public success with the work only in Prague in 1898 and in Amsterdam five years later. The Viennese audience in 1900, musically reactionary and anti-Semitic to boot, was vile in its behavior.
The work even puzzled its own com?poser. He was unsure whether he was offer?ing a symphonic poem, a program sympho?ny, or just a symphony. He did most of the work on this score in February and March 1888 and revised it extensively on several occasions. The work is played at this after?noon's concert according to the second, and last, edition published during Mahler's life?time and dated 1906.
When Mahler conducted the first perfor?mance with the Budapest Philharmonic on November 20,1889, he billed it as a "sym?phonic poem" whose two parts consisted of the first three and the last two movements.
(At that time, the first movement was fol?lowed by a piece called Blumine, which Mahler later dropped.) A newspaper article the day before the premiere outlined a pro?gram whose source can only have been Mahler himself and which identifies the first three movements with spring, happy day?dreams, and a wedding procession, the fourth as a funeral march representing the burial of the poet's illusions, and the fifth as a hard-won progress to spiritual victory. When Mahler revised the score in January 1893, he called it a symphony in five move?ments and two parts, also giving it the name Titan -not for the violent figures of Greek mythology, but for the eponymous novel by Jean Paul (Johann Paul Friedrich Richter, 1763-1825), a key figure in German literary Romanticism and one of Mahler's favorite writers. But by October he announced the work as TITAN, a Tone Poem in the Form of a Symphony.
Before the Vienna performance in 1900, Mahler again leaked a program to a friendly critic, and it is a curious one. First comes the rejection of the Titan program, as well as "all other titles and inscriptions, which, like all 'programs,' are always misinterpreted. [The composer] dislikes and discards them as 'antiartistic' and 'antimusical.'" There fol?lows a scenario that reads much like an elaborated version of the original one for Budapest. During the nineties, when Richard Strauss's Till Eulenspiegel, Also sprach Zarathustra, Don Quixote, and Ein Heldenleben had come out, program music had become a hot political issue in the world of music. Mahler saw himself as living in a very different world from Strauss, and he wanted to establish a distance between him?self and his colleague. At the same time, the extra-musical ideas would not disappear, and he seemed now to be wanting to have it both ways. There was no pleasing the critics on this issue. In Berlin he was faulted for omitting the program and in Frankfurt for keeping it.
Mahler writes "Wie ein Naturlaut" (like a sound of nature) on the first page, and in a letter to the conductor Franz Schalk we read, "The introduction to the first movement sounds of nature, not music!" Fragments detach themselves from the mist, then coa?lesce. Among these fragments are a pair of notes descending by a fourth, distant fan?fares, a little cry of oboes, a cuckoo call (by the only cuckoo in the world who toots a fourth rather than a third), a gentle horn melody. Gradually the tempo quickens to arrive at the melody of the second of Mahler's Wayfarer Songs. Mahler's wayfarer crosses the fields in the morning, rejoicing in the beauty of the world and hoping that this marks the beginning of his own happy times, only to see that spring can never bloom for him. But for Mahler the song is an evocation and a musical source, and he draws astounding riches from it by a process, as Erwin Stein put it, of constantly shuffling and reshuffling its figures like a deck of cards. The movement rises to one tremen?dous climax, and the last page is wild.
The scherzo is the symphony's briefest and simplest movement, and the only one that the first audiences could be counted on to like. The trio, set in an F Major that sounds very mellow in the A Major context of the scherzo itself, contrasts the simplicity of the rustic Austrian material with the art?fulness of its arrangement.
The funeral music that follows was what most upset audiences. The use of ver?nacular material presented in slightly per?verted form (the round we have all sung to the words "Frere Jacques but set by Mahler in a lugubrious minor), the parodic, vulgar music with its lachrymose oboes and trum?pets, the boom-chick of bass drum with cymbal attached, the hiccupping violins, the appearance in the middle of all this of part of the last Wayfarer song -people did not know what to make of this mixture, whether to laugh or cry or both. They sensed some-
thing irreverent, new, and ominous, that these collisions of the spooky, the gross, and the vulnerable were uncomfortably like life itself.
Mahler likened the opening of the finale to a bolt of lightning that rips from a black cloud. Transforming material from the first movement, he takes us, in the terms of his various programs, on the path from annihi?lation to victory, while in musical terms he engages us in a struggle to regain D Major, the main key of the symphony, unheard since the first movement ended. When at last he reenters that key, he does so by way of a stunning and violent coup de theatre, only to withdraw from the sounds of victory and to show us the hollowness of that tri?umph. He then goes back to the music with which the symphony began and gathers strength for a second assault that opens the doors to a heroic ending and a hymn-like celebration in which the horns, now on their feet, are instructed to drown out the rest of the orchestra, "even the trumpets."

Michael Tilson Thomas assumed his post as San Francisco Symphony (SFS) Music Director in 1995, consolidating a relationship with the Orchestra that began with his SFS debut in 1974. A Los Angeles native, he studied with John Crown and Ingolf Dahl at the University of Southern California, becoming Music Director of the Young Musicians Foundation Debut Orchestra at nineteen and working with Stravinsky, Boulez, Stockhausen, and Copland on premieres of their compositions. He was pianist and conductor for Piatigorsky and Heifetz's master classes and, as a student
Michael Tilson Thomas
of Friedelind Wagner, an assistant conductor at Bayreuth. In 1969, at twenty-four, Mr. Tilson Thomas won the Koussevitzky Prize and was appointed Assistant Conductor of the Boston Symphony. Ten days later he came to international recognition, replacing Music Director William Steinberg in mid-concert at Lincoln Center. He went on to become the BSO's Associate Conductor, then Principal Guest Conductor, and he has also served as Music Director of the Buffalo Philharmonic and a Principal Guest Conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. He became Principal Conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra in 1988 and now serves as Principal Guest Conductor. He is co-Artistic Director of the Pacific Music Festival, which he and Leonard Bernstein inaugurated in Sapporo, Japan in
1990, and he continues as Artistic Director of the New World Symphony, which he founded in 1988. Michael Tilson Thomas's record?ings have won numerous international awards, including the Grammy for Best Orchestral Recording of 1996 for Scenes from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet with the SFS. The breadth of his recorded repertory reflects wide-ranging interests arising from his work as conductor, composer, and pianist. He led the televised New York Philharmonic Young People's Concerts from 1971 to 1977 and has also been featured on television with the London Symphony Orchestra, distinguished soloists, and host Dudley Moore in the series Concerto! His compositions include From the Diary of Anne Frank, narrated by actress Audrey Hepburn in its first performances and since performed worldwide, and ShowaShodh, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima. Viva Voce, his volume of conversations with critic Edward Seckerson, was published in 1994. Mr. Tilson Thomas' many honors include Columbia University's Ditson Award for services to American music, the 1995 Conductor of the Year by Musical America, and a Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres of France.
This performance marks Michael Tilson Tlwmas' sixth appearance under UMS auspices.
The San Francisco Symphony gave its first concerts in 1911 and over the years has grown in acclaim under a succession of music direc?tors: Henry Hadley, Alfred Hertz, Basil Cameron, Issay Dobrowen, Pierre Monteux, Enrique Jorda, Josef Krips, Seiji Ozawa, Edo de Waart, Herbert Blomstedt (now Conductor Laureate), and, since 1995, Michael Tilson Thomas. In recent seasons the San Francisco Symphony has won some
of the world's most prestigious recording awards, including Japan's Record Academy Award, France's Grand Prix du Disque, Britain's Gramophone Award, and the United States's Grammy for Carmina Burana, Brahms' German Requiem, and scenes from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet -the first recording by Michael Tilson Thomas and the Orchestra under their exclusive contract with BMG ClassicsRCA Red Seal, a collabo?ration that has produced a series of record?ings that includes Mahler's Das klagende Lied, Copland the Modernist, Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique, and a just-released two-CD set of Gershwin's music that includes works heard at this concert. Earlier this week, Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony celebrated the Gershwin centenary with an all-Gershwin program at Carnegie Hall's opening gala. This will be telecast nationally on PBS's Great Performances on September 30.
Since 1986 the Orchestra has made three tours of Asia, four tours of Europe -including a stunning debut at the 1990 Salzburg Festival -and has performed throughout the US. Some of the most important conductors of our time have been guests on the San Francisco Symphony podium, among them Bruno Walter, Leopold Stokowski, Leonard Bernstein, Sir Georg Solti, and Kurt Masur, and the list of composers who have led the Orchestra is a who's who of twentieth-century music, including Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Ravel, Schoenberg, Copland, and John Adams.
In 1980, the Orchestra moved into the newly built Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall. 1980 also saw the founding of the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra. The SFS Chorus has been heard around the world on recordings and on the soundtracks of three major films, Amadeus, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, and Godfather III.
Through its radio broadcasts, the first in America to feature symphonic music when they began in 1926, the San Francisco Symphony is heard throughout the US, con?firming an artistic vitality whose impact extends throughout American musical life.
This performance marks the San Francisco Symphony's fourth appearance under UMS auspices.

Afro-Cuban All Stars
Not since the 1950s has there been such a surge of Cubaphilia in American pop cul?ture. Part of Cuba's new appeal is the romantic but illusory notion that its isola?tion has made it a time capsule, maintaining styles that have been overrun by hectic com-merciality elsewhere. The music of the Afro-Cuban All Stars is rich in tenderness and nostalgia suggesting a world of tropical ease and pre-revolutionary innocence -a far cry from modern Cuba. The Afro-Cuban All Stars are a classic example of the excellent Cuban musicianship which due to embargo has gone unheard by most people of the United States. It is nonetheless a powerful evocation of the music written by a people who although forced to live under enforced economic strife and the hardship of daily life under communist rule manage to cele?brate life, love, beautiful women, and the pursuit of all things pleasurable. The Cuban ethos, in Che Guevara's phrase, is "socialism
with pachanga (rhythm)".
Brought together by musical director Juan de Marcos Gonzalez, the thir-teen-member Afro-Cuban All Stars are a multi-genera?tional mixture of the best musicians Cuba has turned out in the last half century. Gonzalez wanted to recreate the brassy sound of Cuban music's pre-revolutionary golden age by bringing together a creative explosion of legendary musicians of his youth (sparking friendly rivalries of years past) with rising stars from more con?temporary generations. This powerful and eclectic mix produced the much acclaimed and Grammy-
nominated debut album, A Toda Cuba he Gusta which runs through a great range of styles including Danzon, Son-Montuno, Guaguanco, Mozambique, Afro, Mambo and Guajira. The sound is acoustic but the atmosphere is electric -the entire album was recorded in six days and nights, creating an exuberant alternative to much of the modern music which Juan de Marcos finds tedious.
What makes this band so impressive are the life stories behind the musicians' faces. Imagine Billy Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Thelonious Monk all in one ensemble, and you'll get the sense of each individual's amazing history and the colorful stories yet to be told by the members of the Afro-Cuban All Stars. It's their combined history and tremendous tal?ents that make them one of the front run?ners in Cuban music.
This performance marks the Afro-Cuban All Stars debut under UMS auspices.
Juan de Marcos Gonzalez
When Juan de Marcos Gonzalez was grow?ing up in Havana, the fashionable bands of the day were King Crimson, Yes and Jethro Tull. The young Marcos preferred son, guaracha and rumba and has been on a mis?sion to keep alive the best traditions of Cuban music ever since. His father, Marcos Gonzalez Mauriz, once sang with Arsenio Rodriguez, and Marcos' cradle rocked to the sound of Cuban rhythms. From an early age his parents looked after his musical educa?tion by taking him to "rumbas de solar" -all night rumba parties.
Since the late 1970s Marcos has played with the son group Sierra Maestra and at the same time began laying plans to achieve his dream. "I have always had the wish to reunite in one orchestra the major stars of the 1940s and 1950s who are still alive and in good voice with musicians from other generations, to play Cuban music on an album that would show the continuity of the tradition."
Ibrahim Ferrer
(Born Santiago 1927) Perhaps the most telling of stories is that of septuagenarian Ibrahim Ferrer who was born at a social club dance. He began singing professionally in 1941 with local Santiago groups, working wherever he could make a living by day and singing by night. By the 1950s he was established as the singer with Pacho Alonso's group and was able to con?centrate on music full time. Ferrer began guesting with Orquesta de Chepin and Benny More, two of the legendary names of Cuban music. Alonso's band moved to Havana in 1959, and Ferrer stayed with the group for more than twenty years. By the 1970s, the group had become known as Los Bocucos and pioneered the polon rhythm, which was reputedly based on the sound of pounding the coffee beans.
Musicians in Cuba have never been paid much and Ferrer is one of the remarkable number of vintage musicians who has been supported on a small state pension which he supplemented by the hard earned money he received by shining shoes. Ferrer lives in Old Havana in a tiny apartment within a crowd?ed and moldering nineteenth-century house with his wife and assorted junior relatives. As money is tight (the average monthly salary is $15), the older generations tend to conserve their small pensions by hanging out not far from their open doors. This is exactly where Ferrer was when destiny came knocking and is best explained in Ibrahim's own words, "An angel came and picked me up and said, 'Chico, come and do this record.' I didn't want to do it because I had given up on music. But now I have my own record, my first one ever, so I'm very happy. I don't have to shine shoes anymore."
Teresa Garcia Caturla
(Born San Juan de los Remedios, Villa Clara)
Teresa Garcia Caturla was inspired musically from a very early age by the influence of her father, the renowned composer Alejandro Garcia Caturla. She studied percussion at the Academia Municipal de Miisica in Remedios and went on to join the Banda de Miisica Municipal de Infantil. In 1958 Teresa (or Teresita as she is affectionately known) moved to Havana where she soon began her career as a singer at the Hotel Plaza. In 1960 she went on to work with the all-female Las Anacaonas Orchestra and with the Azuquita Quartet, Las d'Aida. Along with Elena Burke, Omara Portuondo and Moraima Secada, Teresita performed at the most cele?brated theatres (Nacional, Amadeo Roldan and Garcia Lorca) and clubs (Tropicana, Casino Parisien at the Hotel Nacional de Cuba, Salon Copa at the Havana Riveria Hotel) of the time. The group continued working and touring until Aida Diestro's untimely death in 1973, when Teresita took
over leadership of the quartet and took them on tour in Panama, the Caribbean, Mexico, Spain, Finland and Africa. In 1979 Teresita was featured on the classic Estrellas de Areito recordings and joined them live in Venezuela in 1981. She has worked with some of the biggest names in Cuban music and is featured on the forthcoming debut album by Ibrahim Ferrer (World Circuit Nonesuch).
Manuel "Puntillita" Licea
(Born Holguin, 1927)
"Puntillita" began singing at the age of seven and joined the Orchestra Licea in 1941. He went on to achieve huge popularity in the 1950s as lead singer with some of Havana's greatest bands including Adolfo Guzman, Roberto Faz and Cascarito. He also sang with legendary Sonora Matancera with whom Celia Cruz once sang and which has been in existence for almost seventy years. Puntillita recorded the hit "The Rooster, The Hen and The Horse" with the group. He has tackled the whole gamut of Cuban rhythms with his polished vocal styles, but he spe?cializes in the son and bolero.
Orlando "Cachaito" Lopez
(Born Havana 1933)
The Lopez family is virtually synonymous with bass playing in Cuba. Cachaito's father and uncle, Orestes and Israel, were both fine players, having learned the instrument from their father Pedro. In the 1930s the L6pez boys rewrote the book on bass playing. While Orestes along with Arsenio Rodgriguez helped create the mambo rhythm, Israel (known as "Cachao") played a key role in the development of the descarga style. As a young boy, Cachaito flirted with the violin but inevitably the lure of the bass was too strong.
His earliest love was danzon and by the age of twelve he had already played with
Orquesta Riverside, a hugely popular dance band of the time. He was then asked by his uncle to stand in with Arcana y sus Maravillas, a band that had been around since the 1930s. The teenage boy was so impressive that he was asked to stay.
As a musician of astonishing versatility, Cachaito started playing classical music with the Orquesta Sinfonica Nacional in the 1960s. He would play Beethoven in a concert hall in the early part of the evening and then move on to play electric bass in a club into the small hours of the morning. Yet his pre?ferred instrument is the acoustic bass and combined with his deep love of jazz influ?enced by Charles Mingus, he began to explore this instrument more. He played with Irakere in the 1960s, the group respon?sible for shaping modern Latin jazz, and he continues to play Cuban rhythms, classical and jazz with equal enthusiasm.
Felix Valoy
(Born Holguin 1944) Felix Valoy started his musical career in 1960 by studying percussion. By 1970 he had begun working as a professional singer with such groups as Chapottin, Cubalse, Conjunto Primavera, Combo Yarey and Chuqui. Since then he has worked with veteran timbales player Elio Reve and his Orquesta Reve, Son 14, and Adalberto y su Son, and has toured extensively in Europe and Latin America with the latter two groups. He once fronted his own band Valoy y su Talento Latino and in 1976, he made a film with Chapottin called Son o no Son. He cites Nino Bravo and Nat King Cole as his favorite singers and Benny More as his most important influence.

Festive Overture, Op. 96
Dmitri Shostakovich
Born September 25, 1906 in St. Petersburg
Died on August 9, 1975 in Moscow
This delightful short work falls chronologi?cally between two of Shostakovich's most serious symphonies: Symphony No. 10, which contains a diabolical scherzo reputed to be a "portrait of Stalin," and Symphony No. 11, which commemorates the bloody events of the 1905 revolution. Shostakovich whipped it off, literally in one day, in response to a call from Vasili Nebolsin, a conductor at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow, who urgently needed a festive piece for November 7, the anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution of 1? 1". 1 o 1 ehedinsky, a musicologist and close friend of the composer's during the 1950s, told the story in an interview with British cellist and author Elizabeth Wilson. Sec Wilson's fascinating Shostakovich; A life Remembered, Princeton University Press, 1994).
"Shostakovich composed the Festive Overture before my very eyes," recalled Lebedinsky, who happened to be in Shostakovich's apartment when a desperate Nebolsin arrived to announce an emergency. Lebedinsky watched as the composer sat down to compose the overture he had been asked for. Shostakovich kept talking to his friend and making jokes even as he was composing. As soon as he finished a page, a courier came and took it away to be copied, in an almost exact replay of how Rossini had written his famous overture to Lagazaa ladm in IS 17.
This amazing effortlessness can be heard in the light and carefree tone of the music, yet the quality of the musical ideas and the craftsmanship with which they are presented never let us suppose that the composer had no time at all to plan or even think about the piece. What Shostakovich did here is as dose to improvisation as a
symphonic composer can ever come: the conception and the realization of the piece were virtually simultaneous.
Of course, Shostakovich had the classi?cal sonata-form model to fall back on: after an introductory fanfare, he duly presents his two themes (the first consists mainly of rapid eighth-note passages, while the second has an expressive, singing character). The subsequent development, recapitulation and return of the opening fanfares as a conclud?ing section, were all part of the traditional framework that Shostakovich could well take for granted, like so many composers before him. But the freshness of the materi?als that fill in that framework, the brilliant orchestration, and the effervescence of the whole piece are true signs of genius. They explain why the Festive Overture, originally written to help out a colleague in a pinch, has entered the standard repertoire and held its place there for more than forty years.
Violin Concerto No. 2, Op. 129
Dmitri Shostakovich
With this concerto, Shostakovich completed a "quartet of concertos" two for violin and two for cello, written for two close friends (David Oistrakh and Mstislav Rostropovich) over a period of almost two decades. The quartet had begun in 1948 with the Violin Concerto No.l, an intensely dramatic piece written in the wake of the infamous Party resolution that condemned Shostakovich and others in the harshest possible terms. The popular Cello Concerto No. 1 followed in 1959, followed in 1966 by the Cello Concerto No. 2. The Violin Concerto No. 2, completed a year later, was in many ways modeled after the cello work which had preceded it.
This concerto was intended as a present for Oistrakh's sixtieth birthday. But Shostakovich wrote the piece a year early, so
Oistrakh was able to premiere it when he was only fifty-nine. (Incidentally, the pre?miere fell on Shostakovich's own sixty-first birthday.) A year later, Shostakovich surprised his friend with a violin sonata (Op.134), fin?ished just in time for the actual anniversary.
The Violin Concerto No. 2 follows the classical three-movement sequence of fast-slow-fast, with the last movement in rondo form, though the first movement (as often in Shostakovich) is in moderate rather than fast tempo. The thematic material is extremely simple, often consisting of the constant rep?etition of short melodic patterns. Also, the orchestra is considerably reduced; there are only double -not triple -woodwinds, no trumpets or trombones, and no percussion other than timpani and tom-tom. But Shostakovich used his restricted ensemble and his simple themes with great ingenuity, achieving expressive moments of great diversity and a surprisingly powerful sound at climactic moments, as in an especially dramatic passage in the first movement where the two clarinets play in their seldom-used, shrill and penetrating high register. Such passages alternate with more playful episodes, as in the second theme whose humoristic staccato theme at one point takes a sudden turn and begins to sound like a well-known Schubert march. After a brief cadenza (a much longer one will be heard in the third movement), this march tune is used as the ending of the first move?ment. It is played by the solo violin and fades out as the double basses play pianissi?mo to the accompaniment of the tom-tom.
The second movement is a single long melody for solo violin, combined with some exquisite woodwind solos. One of the most soulful moments comes at the end, where the first horn recapitulates the theme, trans?forming it into a lullaby, which leads into the third movement via a short bridge pas?sage for solo violin and two horns. The finale is based on a three-note rhythmic pat-
tern (short-short-long) already heard in the first movement. After a playful start, the tone of the music becomes more serious, even tragic at times. The tension gradually increases, and reaches a high point where a diabolical cadenza begins. The three-note rhythmic pattern dominates both the violin part and the orchestral accompaniment until the end of the work.
Symphony No. 7, Op. 131
Sergei Prokofiev
Born April 27, 1891 in Sontsovka, Ukraine
Died March 5,1953 in Moscow
Prokofiev's last years were anything but happy. Barely sixty years old, his health had already begun to decline. He suffered from a number of physical ailments, but the psy?chological consequences of the Communist Party attack of 1948 were at least equally serious. Prokofiev was devastated by the attack that had branded his music as "for-malistic." He was still officially acknowledged as the Soviet Union's greatest composer, but most of his works, including some of which he himself thought quite highly, could not be performed. For instance, he was never to see on stage his opera War and Peace, on which he worked, on and off, for the last twelve years of his life.
Prokofiev was sustained during these difficult years by only one thing: work. To the end of his life, he composed as prolifi-cally as he had always done: he completed his Piano Sonata No. 9 in 1947, a sonata for cello and piano in 1949, as well as numerous pieces d'occasion on official commissions. He also revised some of his earlier works such as the Symphony No. 4 or the Cello Concerto Op. 58 which became the Symphony-Concerto, generally considered the greatest work of Prokofiev's final period.
Symphony No. 7 was commissioned by a department within the Soviet national radio
whose task was to create musical programs for young people. Prokofiev wanted to write something light and simple for this occa?sion. But it wasn't going to be another Peter and the Wolf, the humor and immediacy of a children's story were replaced by a nostalgic view of youth from the perspective of old age. Prokofiev wanted to avoid complica?tions in his harmonic language so that he could be easily understood, even by children (inaccessibility was one of the charges lev?eled at him in 1948). As a result, the sym?phony is like a day of Indian summer; the sun, no longer scorching as in August, is mild and gentle, evoking feelings of warmth and serenity in the listener. Symphony No. 7 was to remain the last major work Prokofiev completed, and its first performance also marked his last appearance in public.
The symphony begins with an expres?sive melody Prokofiev develops by adding some fast-moving countersubjects in six?teenth-notes. A second theme follows, a broad legato melody in the Tchaikovsky-Rachmaninoff tradition that had been quite alien to Prokofiev's earlier style. A third idea, introduced staccato (short, separated notes) by the woodwind and bells, is more in character with the old Prokofiev. These three ideas, in more or less varied form, provide the material for a mostly lyrical and contemplative movement.
The second movement is a scherzo with many waltz elements. It starts with a leisurely "Allegretto" that escalates into "Allegro" and even "Piu mosso" (Faster) as the excitement gradually increases. The trio (middle section), by contrast, is more laid back: its expressive melody is played by muted violins and then by the solo oboe. The scherzo-waltz returns, with the addition of a new variation where the theme is reinforced by brass instruments. After a varied repeat of the trio, the waltz returns and develops into a frantic closing
section so that the climax of the movement comes at the very end.
The third-movement ("Andante espres-sivo") is again based on two contrasting ideas. The first is of a legato character, emphasizing long melodic phrases (Prokofiev's Soviet biographer, Israel Nestyev, was reminded of Friar Laurence's music from Romeo and Juliet). The second is staccato and uses rhythm as its primary propelling force. The two ideas are then combined, and the legato melody returns, played by the solo flute accompanied by piano and harp. A quiet brass chord (a major triad with a pungent major seventh) closes the movement.
The finale is full of typical Prokofievian humor, recalling the upbeat days of Lieutenant Kije, among other manifestations of Prokofiev's light side. The fun and frolic are, however, interrupted, as the broad Romantic theme from the first movement returns, followed by the staccato theme from the same movement. The music clearly receives a more serious turn at this point; the tempo slows down and the brass instru?ments play some forte notes in a low register that threaten to destroy the cheerful atmos?phere that has prevailed so far. The original ending of the symphony was accordingly soft and wistful. But, Nestyev tells us, during the rehearsals of the symphony, Prokofiev was persuaded (the word may be a euphemism in this case) to write an alterna?tive ending that brings back the playful first theme and ends the symphony on a happy note.
Program notes by Peter Laki
In the twenty-five-year course of his distinguished career, violinist Gidon Kremer has established a reputation worldwide as one of the most origi?nal and compelling artists of his gen?eration. He has appeared on virtually every major concert stage with the most celebrat?ed orchestras of Europe and America and has collaborated with today's foremost con?ductors and instrumentalists.
His repertoire is unusually extensive, encompassing all of the standard classical and Romantic violin works, as well as music by twentieth-century masters such as Henze, Berg and Stockhausen. He has also championed the works of living Russian and Eastern European composers and has performed many important new composi?tions, several of them dedicated to him. He has become associated with such diverse composers as Alfred Schnittke, Arvo Part, Sofia Gubaidulina, Valentin Silvestrov, Luigi Nono, Aribert Reimann, John Adams and Astor Piazzolla, bringing their music to audiences in a way that respects tradition yet remains contemporary.
Since making his Western debut, Mr. Kremer has appeared with the orchestras of Berlin, Boston, Amsterdam, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, New York, London, Paris and Vienna in collaborations with a distinguished roster of conductors that includes Leonard Bernstein, Herbert von Karajan, Carlo Maria Giulini, Eugen Jochum, Andre Previn, Claudio Abbado, James Levine, Lorin Maazel, Riccardo Muti, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Zubin Mehta and Sir Neville Marriner.
Deeply committed to chamber music, Mr. Kremer devotes a portion of his sched?ule to recital appearances with partners such as Valery Afanassiev, Martha Argerich, Keith Jarrett, Oleg Maisenberg, Vadim Sakharov, Tatyana Grindenko, Misha Maisky and Thomas Zehetmair.
Gidon Kremer
An exceptionally prolific recording artist, Gidon Kremer has made more than 100 albums for Deutsche Grammophon, Teldec, Philips, ECM, Sony Classical, EMIAngel and Nonesuch. His recordings have garnered many awards, among them the prestigious Grand Prix du Disque and Deutsche Schallplattenpreis.
Since 1981, Mr. Kremer has been invit?ing a select group of artists to participate in the music festival he founded in the small Austrian village of Lockenhaus. For two weeks each summer, musicians from all parts of the world gather to perform in an intimate setting. The festival's emphasis is on the exploration of new repertoire, with unusual pairings of musicians who collabo?rate in an informal atmosphere conducive to discovery and communication. Lockenhaus is the realization of the violin?ist's belief that music can overcome all bar?riers of language and culture. Since 1992, musicians from Lockenhaus have been tour?ing throughout the world under the desig?nation KREMERata MUSICA. On the occa?sion of Franz Schubert's 200th birthday eel-
ebrations in 1997, they undertook a com?prehensive concert cycle devoted to Schubert throughout Europe, including appearances at the Salzburg Festival. Also in 1997, Mr. Kremer made a world tour with his "Hommage a Piazzolla" program.
In November 1996, Mr. Kremer founded the KREMERata BALTICA chamber orches?tra to foster outstanding young musicians from the three Baltic states. He will be undertaking regular concert tours with the orchestra, serving as Artistic Director and soloist. Since 1997 Mr. Kremer has also been the Artistic Director of the Musiksommer Gstaad in Switzerland, succeeding Lord Yehudi Menuhin.
Gidon Kremer was born in 1947 in Riga, Latvia. He began his study of the violin at age four with his father and grandfather, both of whom were accomplished string players. At seven, his formal education began with his entry into the Riga Music School as a student of Professor Sturestep. By the time he reached the eighth grade he was auditioning for competitions in Poland, Romania and France, and at sixteen was awarded the First Prize of the Latvian Republic. Two years later he successfully auditioned for David Oistrakh and became one of the few students selected to appren?tice under his mastery at the Moscow Conservatory.
In 1967 Mr. Kremer won his first inter?national prize: the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels. Following this triumph, he took a prize in the Montreal Competition, top honors in the Paganini Competition in Genoa, and, finally, the coveted First Prize in the 1970 Tchaikovsky Competition.
Gidon Kremer plays a Guarnerius del Gesu, "ex-David," dated from 1730. He is also the author of three books, published in German, which reflect his artistic pursuits.
This performance marks Gidon Kremer's fifth appearance under UMS auspices.
In April 1988 Yuri Temirkanov was named Music Director and Principal Conductor of the St. Petersburg (formerly Leningrad) Philharmonic Orchestra, succeeding Evgeny Mravinsky. Prior to his appointment with that ensemble, he was Artistic Director and Chief Conductor of the Kirov Opera.
In the United States, where he is one of the most well-known and highly regarded Russian conductors, Mr. Temirkanov led the Philadelphia Orchestra regularly between 1975 and 1980. In January 1986, he made a historic appearance with the New York Philharmonic as the first Soviet conductor to visit the United States following the renewal of the SovietAmerican Cultural Exchange Agreement, winning exceptional critical acclaim. He has since returned many times to conduct not only the New York Philharmonic and the Philadelphia Orchestra, but also the Boston Symphony, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the San Francisco Symphony. He was recently named Music Director of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, a post he formally takes up with the start of the 1999-2000 season. Also sought-after for opera engage?ments, he led an acclaimed production of Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin with the San Francisco Opera during the 1997-98 season. In Europe, Maestro Temirkanov has con?ducted all of the leading orchestras includ?ing the Berlin Philharmonic, the Vienna Philharmonic, the Dresden Staatskapelle, the Orchestre de Paris and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. In 1977 he made his London debut with the Royal Philharmonic and starting with the 1979-80 season became its Principal Guest Conductor. After eleven years in that position, succeed?ed Andre Previn as Principal Conductor for several years beginning in September 1992. He is now Principal Guest Conductor of the Danish National Symphony Orchestra. In 1988 the conductor began a long-term
Yuri Temirkanov
exclusive relationship with BMG Classics RCA Victor Red Seal. His numerous releases include the complete Stravinsky ballets with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and works of Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, Prokofiev and Rachmaninoff with the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra. Among his most recent releases are recordings with the St. Petersburg Philharmonic of Prokofiev's ora?torio On Guard for Peace and Shostakovich's Symphony No. 13.
This performance marks Yuri Temirkanov's third appearance under UMS auspices.
The St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra is Russia's oldest sym?phony orchestra. It was formed out of the nineteenth-century "Imperial Music Choir" in 1882 but initially played only for the Imperial Court and in aristocratic circles. As early as October 19, 1917 the ensemble was declared a state orchestra, giving its first public concert in Soviet Russia shortly thereafter, on November 8th. A year later the orchestra was incorpo?rated into the newly founded Petrograd Philharmonic Society, the first concert orga?nization of the U.S.S.R. In 1991, just after its
home city was renamed, the Orchestra changed its name from the Leningrad Philharmonic to the St. Petersburg Philharmonic. Today it is internationally recognized as one of the world's premiere symphonic ensembles. The Philhar?monic's first principal con?ductors were Emil Cooper (1921-22) and Nikolai Malko (1926-29). During its earliest years, the orchestra was also conducted by Alexander Glazunov, Serge Koussevitsky, Gregor
Fitelberg and Nikolai Tcherepnin, as well as abroad by such figures as Bruno Walter, Oscar Fried, Erich Kleiber, Otto Klemperer and Hans Knappertsbusch. In the 1930s, the orchestra was headed by Alexander Gauk and the Austrian conductor Fritz Stiedry.
For fifty years, from 1938 to 1988, Evgeny Mravinsky was the orchestra's Music Director. During World War II, the orchestra continued to give concerts without inter?ruption, even as Leningrad was being evacu?ated. After 1945 the orchestra under Mravinsky was active in introducing to Russia important foreign composers and conductors, including Leopold Stokowski, Charles Munch, Andre Cluytens, Igor Markevitch, Josef Krips, Zoltan Kodaly and Benjamin Britten. In 1946 it undertook the first tour of the West by a Soviet orchestra, and since then has been acclaimed by the public and press alike in over thirty coun?tries throughout Europe, North and South America, and the Far East.
The St. Petersburg Philharmonic has played a major role in furthering the careers of Russian and Soviet composers. The orchestra premiered Shostakovich's Symphony No. 1 in 1926, bringing immedi?ate international attention to the nineteen-
year-old composer, whose close association with the orchestra--which went on to pre?miere seven of his subsequent symphonies --continued until his death in 1975.
In 1988 Yuri Temirkanov was appointed Music Director and Principal Conductor of the St. Petersburg Philharmonic with Mariss Jansons continuing as Associate Principal Conductor, a post he has held since 1985. Among the orchestra's recent tours have been visits to the major European festivals, including highly acclaimed performances in Salzburg, Lucerne, Edinburgh and London (at the Proms). It participated in many events marking the centennial of Tchaikovsky's death in 1993, including three concerts at Carnegie Hall as part of its American tour that year. The orchestra again toured the United States in 1996 giving three weeks of
concerts throughout the country, including returns to Ann Arbor, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. Its extensive European touring has included recent residencies in Paris and Vienna, and concerts to inaugu?rate Belfast's Waterfront Hall. In April 1998, the orchestra made a highly acclaimed tour of South America.
The St. Petersburg Philharmonic has established an important relationship with BMG ClassicsRCA Victor Red Seal, which has released much of the central Russian repertoire by Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev and Shostakovich conducted by Yuri Temirkanov. Among Maestro Temirkanov's recent recordings with the orchestra are Prokofiev's oratorio On Guard for Peace and Shostakovich's Symphony No. 13 and oratorio The Song of the Woods. The orchestra and Mariss Jansons have recorded the complete Rachmaninoff Symphonies and Piano Concertos (with Mikhail Rudy) for EMI.
This performance marks the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra's seventh appearance under UMS auspices, including four occasions under its former name of the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra.

The Advisory Committee has pledged to donate $175,000 this current season. In addition to fundraising, this hard-working group generously donates valuable and innumerable hours in assisting with the educa?tional programs of UMS and the behind-the-scenes tasks associated with every event UMS presents. If you would like to become involved with this dynamic group, please give us a call at 734.936.6837 for information.
Group Tickets
Many thanks to all of you groups who have joined the University Musical Society for an event in past seasons, and a hearty welcome to all of our new friends who will be with us in the coming years. The group sales program has grown incredibly in recent years and our success is a direct result of the wonder?ful leaders who organize their friends, families, con?gregations, students, and co-workers and bring them to one of our events.
Last season over 8,300 people, from as far away as California, came to UMS events as part of a group, and they saved over $40,000 on some of the most popular events around! Many groups who booked their tickets early found themselves in the enviable (position of having the only available tickets to sold out events like Wynton Marsalis, Itzhak Perlman, David Daniels, Evgeny Kissin, and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
This season UMS is offering a wide variety of 'events to please even the most discriminating tastes, (many at a fraction of the regular price. Imagine yourself surrounded by 10 or more of your closest friends as they thank you for getting great seats to the ihottest shows in town. It's as easy as picking up the bhone and calling UMS Group Sales at 734.763.3100.

Ford Honors Program
The Ford Honors program is made possible by a generous grant from the Ford Motor Company Fund and benefits the UMS Education Program. Each year, UMS honors a world-renowned artist or ensemble with whom we have maintained a long?standing and significant relationship. In one evening, UMS presents the artist in concert, pays tribute to and presents the artist with the UMS Distinguished Artist Award, and hosts a dinner and party in the artist's honor. Van Cliburn was the first artist so honored, with subsequent honorees being Jessye Norman and Garrick Ohlsson.
This season's Ford Honors Program will be held Saturday, May 8. The recipient of the 1999 UMS Distinguished Artist Award will be announced in January.
Thank You!
Great performances--the best in music, theater and dance--are pre?sented by the University Musical Society because of the much-needed and appreciated gifts of UMS supporters, who constitute the members of the Society. The list below represents names of current donors as of August 14, 1998. If there has been an error or omission, we apologize and would appreciate a call at 734.647.1178 so that we can correct this right away. The University Musical Society would also like to thank those generous donors who wish to remain anonymous.
