FROM THE U-M PRESIDENT
@@@@T
he University of Michigan joins the University Musical Society (UMS) in welcoming you to the spectacular array of events scheduled for the Fall 2005 season. Thank you for attending this per?formance.
Before noting our collaborative programs, I want to congratulate UMS on being one of six arts institu?tions nationally to receive a Wallace Foundation
Excellence Award in the inau?gural year of the award pro?gram. The award recognizes organizations that have expanded arts participation with imaginative efforts to broaden, deepen, and diversify their audiences. The award, announced this past June, came with a $1 million endow?ment grant, which must be
matched by $1 million in endowment contributions from the UMS community.
We are proud of the U-MUMS Partnership Program through which the University provides finan?cial support to UMS enabling it to offer educational programs to students, faculty, and townspeople that animate and provide context to many of the perform?ances on the UMS roster. UMS's partners throughout the University include a wide range of schools, col?leges, departments, programs, institutes, centers, museums, and libraries.
Our fall programs involve educational events surrounding performances by the legendary Mark Morris Dance Group; a concert version of Richard
Strauss's opera Daphne with soprano Renee Fleming; the play Tall Horse featuring puppet theaters from South Africa and Mali; Goldoni's Italian comedy Arlecchino, Servant of Two Masters; and Senegalese singer, songwriter, and social activist Youssou N'Dour. The Tall Horse and Youssou N'Dour performances are part of UMS's five-event Africa Series.
I want to thank the faculty and staff of the University of Michigan and UMS for their hard work and dedication in making our partnership a success. The University of Michigan is pleased to support the University Musical Society during the exhilarating 0506 season. We share the goal of celebrating the arts in an exciting academic milieu.
Last year, we launched our ambitious capital campaign for the future of the University of Michigan, titled "The Michigan Difference." We have highlight?ed the arts as a specific area for support. We provide experiences, both in the classroom and throughout our museums and theaters, to stimulate creativity, engage tomorrow's performers and artisans, and showcase the world from diverse points of view. I hope you will join me and many others in moving our University to even greater levels of excellence and aspiration.
Sincerely,
Mary Sue Coleman
President, University of Michigan
FROM THE UMS PRESIDENT
@@@@T
hank you for attending this UMS performance. We hope we'll see you at other UMS events throughout our 127th season. For a complete list of performances, turn to page P27 in this program book or check out our website at www.ums.org.
This fall marks a major change in the leadership of the UMS Board of Directors. After three years of outstanding service as Chair of the Board, Prudence
Rosenthal retired on June 30. In a characteristically thoughtful gesture as she left office, Prue and her husband Dr. Amnon Rosenthal established an endowment to support the UMS Education Program where Prue has been a dedicated volunteer for more than a decade. Many family and friends made gifts to the Rosenthal Endowment in honor of Prue and her leadership
of UMS, and they did so with great enthusiasm and generosity. Prue will remain on the Board for one more year as Immediate Past Chair and has now joined the distinguished group of predecessors that includes John Reed, David Kennedy, Norman Herbert, Herbert Amster, Bruce Kulp, and Beverley Geltner. Thank you, Prue.
Succeeding Prue is Clayton Wilhite, a University of Michigan BA and MBA and husband of Ann Douglass Wilhite, a former U-M School of Music stu?dent whom he met on campus. His connections to Michigan also include his membership on the winning 1965 Rose Bowl team. As past president of the inter?national advertising agency, D'Arcy Masius Benton & Bowles, Clayton is now Worldwide Managing Partner of the Claes Fornell International Group, an Ann Arbor-based international management consulting firm. CFI helps its clients strengthen their financial per?formance by improving their customer relationships -not an inappropriate experience for his new UMS role! To wit, Clayton and Ann also co-chair the UMS portion of The Michigan Difference Campaign. Please take a few minutes to read Clayton's pertinent message to
UMS patrons on the following page of your program. It's about vital donor opportunities to our beloved organization -a message I heartily endorse.
This summer saw the retirement of Board mem?bers Gloria James Kerry, Alberto Nacif, Randall Pittman, Judy Dow Rumelhart, Maya Savarino, and Karen Wolff as well as the election of new members Wadad Abed, Carol Amster, Robert Buckler, Cynthia Dodd, Christopher Kendall, Joetta Mial, Roger Newton, and Ed Schulak. UMS is fortunate to have the service of these and many other dedicated volunteers. For a complete list of Board, Senate, Advisory Committee, and Teacher Advisory Committee members, go to pagesP12andP13.
As I begin my 19th year as UMS President and direct more of my time toward working with Board and staff to secure our long-term financial stability, I look forward to visiting with many of you in the months ahead. I'm eager to hear your stories about how your experiences with UMS have enriched your lives and to discuss how you can help ensure that future generations will be touched in the same way. Your help will guarantee that UMS will continue its 126-year role as a distinctive cultural treasure to U-M, our community, state, and nation.
It's wonderful to have you with us for this per?formance. Feel free to get in touch with us if you have any questions or concerrs. The best place to begin is with our Ticket Office at 734.764.2538. You should also feel free to get in touch with me directly about anything related to UMS. If you don't see me in the lobby at this performance, please send me an e-mail message at kenfisch@umich.edu or call me at 734.647.1174.
Very best wishes,
Kenneth C. Fischer UMS President
A TIMELY MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
Your Donations Matter -Now More Than Ever!
Beginning my term as Chair of the University Musical Society, I have one overriding initial goal. On behalf of my fellow Board members and our UMS colleagues, I want to make a
compelling case for convinc?ing you to share your phil?anthropic giving with this world-renowned cultural asset and jewel of artistic expression.
The timing of our request is particularly oppor?tune, since for the first time in our 127-year history, UMS
is an official part of a University of Michigan giving campaign -in this instance the $2.5 billion "Michigan Difference," which publicly commenced in 2004 and concludes on December 31, 2008.
To make my case, I'm going to address a few myths about UMS which may have pre?vented you from making a personally meaning?ful gift before now.
Myth 1:
The University of Michigan provides the necessary annual funding to ensure a balanced budget for UMS.
In reality, while affiliated with the University, UMS is an independent organization governed by its own Board of Directors. While the University has been a very generous direct and indirect contributor over many decades for spe?cial andor ad hoc purposes (as an example, the Royal Shakespeare Company visits in 2001 and 2003), in recent years, it has regularly funded only 5-10 percent of our Annual Operating Budget.
Myth 2:
I buy tickets to several UMS events each year which, when added to those pur?chased by 15,000 other ticket holders, covers the financial needs of UMS. Once again, reality is quite different. Ticket revenues cover, on average, only 47 of the annual UMS Operating Budget -which means the remaining funds to finance per?formance fees, educational outreach, produc?tion costs, and administrative expenses must come from government agencies, foundations, corporate friends, and private individuals.
Myth 3:
UMS has been around since 1879 so surely income from its endowment provides any cushion required to cover cost increases.
Unfortunately, UMS has only in recent years begun to focus on building its endowment assets, so the fund totals only a few million dollars -well below benchmark levels for comparable organizations. This need is one reason why we are so eager to approach many potential donors for the first time as a part of the official "Michigan Difference" campaign.
Before I finish and you sit back to enjoy anoth?er memorable artistic performance from UMS, let me ask you a question, the answer to which could, in large measure, determine your willingness to contribute to UMS.
"How has UMS made a difference in the per?sonal lives of you and your family over the last five, 15, or 30 years"
Was it by being able to drive a few minutes from your home and see a world-class perform?ance otherwise witnessed only in New York, London, or Vienna
Was it when your child participated in a UMS educational outreach program that helped inaugurate a life-long love of the arts
Was it when you or a colleague decided to join the U-M faculty partly because you didn't have to leave your artistic appetite behind on the East or West Coasts
While you're mulling over your own answer, let me close with a few specifics about the UMS portion of the "The Michigan Difference" cam?paign.
We have a goal of $25 million: $15 million for annual operations and $10 million for endowment.
Each category is vital to UMS right now.
@@@@Donations to our annual fund will help ensure continued, high-level performance excellence during 0506 and immediately thereafter, and;
Donations to our endowment will help ensure that same level of excellence in com? ing decades for future generations.
Thank you for the opportunity to lay out the case for your donating in a personally mean?ingful way to UMS. If you are like many of us who have made a decision to help, either for the first time or with an increased gift, it will be in part because your generosity will offer you the chance, after many years of rewarding music, dance, and theater events, to demon?strate a heartfelt "Thank you, UMS."
For more information on the many available giving options, please contact the office of Susan McClanahan, Director of Development, at 734.647.1177 or visit our website at www.ums.org and click on "Make a Gift."
Sincerely,
Clayton Wilhite

Smoking Areas
University of Michigan policy forbids smoking in any public area, including the lobbies and restrooms.
Start Time
UMS makes every effort to begin concerts at the published time. Most of our events take
place in the heart of central campus, which does have limited parking and may have sev?eral events occurring simultaneously in differ?ent theaters. Please allow plenty of extra time to park and find your seats.
Latecomers
Latecomers will be asked to wait in the lobby until seated by ushers. Most lobbies have been outfitted with monitors andor speakers so that latecomers will not miss the performance.
The late seating break is determined by the artist and will generally occur during a suitable repertory break in the program (e.g., after the first entire piece, not after individual movements of classical works). There may be occasions where latecomers are not seated until intermission, as determined by the artist. UMS makes every effort to alert patrons in advance when we know that there will be no late seating.
UMS tries to work with the artists to allow a flexible late seating policy for family per?formances.

If you are unable to attend a concert for which you have purchased tickets, you may turn in your tickets up to 15 minutes before curtain time by calling the Ticket Office. Refunds are not available; however, you will be given a receipt for an income tax deduc?tion. Please note that ticket returns do not count toward UMS membership.

Annals
UMS HISTORY
@@@@T
hrough a commitment to Presentation, Education, and the Creation of new work, the University Musical Society (UMS) serves Michigan audiences by bringing to our community an ongo?ing series of world-class artists, who represent the diverse spectrum of today's vigorous and exciting live performing arts world. Over its 126 years, strong leadership coupled with a devoted community has placed UMS in a league of internationally recognized perform?ing arts presenters. Today, the UMS seasonal program is a reflection of a thoughtful respect for this rich and varied history, balanced by a commitment to dynamic and creative visions of where the performing arts will take us in this new millennium. Every day UMS seeks to culti?vate, nurture, and stimulate public interest and oarticipation 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 Simmons Frieze and conducted by Professor Calvin Cady, the group assumed the name The Choral Union. Their first perform?ance 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 mem?bers 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

theater. Through educational endeavors, com?missioning of new works, youth programs, artist residencies, and other collaborative proj?ects, UMS has maintained its reputation for quality, artistic distinction, and innovation. UMS now hosts up to 70 performances and more than 125 educational events each sea?son. UMS has flourished with the support of a generous community that this year gathers in six different Ann Arbor venues.
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 that supports itself from ticket sales, corporate and individual contributions, founda?tion and government grants, special project support from U-M, and endowment income.
UMS CHORAL UNION
@@@@T
hroughout its 126-year history, the UMS Choral Union has performed with many of the world's distin?guished orchestras and conductors. Based in Ann Arbor under the aegis of the University Musical Society, the 175-voice Choral Union is known for its defini?tive performances of large-scale works for cho?rus and orchestra. Thirteen years ago, the Choral Union further enriched that tradition when it began appearing regularly with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO). The chorus has recorded Tchaikovsky's The Snow Maiden with the orchestra for Chandos, Ltd.
Led by newly appointed Conductor and Music Director Jerry Blackstone, the 0405 sea?son included a return engagement with the DSO (Orff's Carmina Burana), and performances of
Handel's Messiah and The Creation with the Ann Arbor Symphony.
The culmination and highlight of the Choral Union's 0304 season was a rare performance and recording of William Bolcom's Songs of Innocence and of Experience in Hill Auditorium in April 2004 under the baton of Leonard Slatkin. Naxos released a three-disc set of this recording in October 2004, featuring the Choral Union and U-M School of Music ensem?bles. The recording was selected as one of the Weiv York Times "Best Classical Music CDs of 2004" released internationally that season.
The 0506 season includes collaborations with the DSO in Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 (December 15-18, 2005), Mahler's Symphony No. 3 (June 2-4, 2006), and a concert perform?ance of Rossini's opera Tancredi (March 25, 2006). The 127th annual performances of Handel's Messiah (December 3-4, 2005) will take place in Hill Auditorium. This season is further rounded out by performances of the Vaughan Williams Sea Symphony (February 21, 2006) with the U-M School of Music's Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jerry Blackstone, Shostakovich's Symphony No. 2 (March 17, 2006) with the Kirov Orchestra cf St. Petersburg, conducted by Valery Gergiev, and an additional performance of Beethove i's Symphony No. 9 (October 24, 2005) with the U-M School of Music's Symphony Orchestra conducted by Kenneth Kiesler.
Participation in the UMS Choral Union remains open to all students and adults by audition. For more information about the UMS Choral Union, please e-mail choralunion@umich.edu or call 734.763.89?7.
VENUES AND BURTON MEMORIAL TOWER
Hill Auditorium
After an 18-month $38.6-million dollar renova?tion overseen by Albert Kahn Associates, Inc. and historic preservation architects Quinn EvansArchitects, Hill Auditorium has re-opened. Originally built in 1913, renovations have updated Hill's infrastructure and restored much of the interior to its original splendor. Exterior enovations include the reworking of brick paving and stone retaining wall areas, restora?tion of the south entrance plaza, the reworking of the west barrier-free ramp and loading dock, and improvements to landscaping.
Interior renovations included the demolition of lower-level spaces to ready the area for future mprovements, the creation of additional rest-rooms, the improvement of barrier-free circula?tion by providing elevators and an addition with ramps, the replacement of seating to increase patron comfort, introduction of barrier-free seating and stage access, the replacement of theatrical performance and audio-visual systems, and the complete replacement of mechanical and electrical infrastructure systems for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.
Re-opened in January 2004, Hill Auditorium seats 3,575.
Power Center
The Power Center for the Performing Arts grew out of a realization that the University of Michigan had no adequate proscenium-stage theater for the performing arts. Hill Auditorium was too massive and technically limited for most productions, and the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre was too small. The Power Center was built 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 "a new theater" was men-
tioned. The Powers were immediately interest?ed, realizing that state and federal govern?ments were unlikely to provide financial support for the construction of a new theater.
Opening in 1971 with the world premiere of The Grass Harp (based on the novel by Truman Capote), the Power Center achieved the seemingly contradictory combination of providing a soaring interior space with a unique level of intimacy. Architectural features included two large spiral staircases leading from the orchestra level to the balcony and the well-known mirrored glass panels on the exteri?or. The lobby of the Power Center presently features two hand-woven tapestries: Modern Tapestry by Roy Lichtenstein and Volutes (Arabesque) by Pablo Picasso.
The Power Center seats approximately 1,400 people.
Arbor Springs Water Company is generously providing complimentary water to UMS artists backstage at the Power Center throughout the 0506 season.
Rackham Auditorium
Fifty 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, Newberry Hall, and 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 Rackham Auditorium, but also to establish a $4 million endowment to further the development of graduate studies. 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.
Designed by architect Wiliam Kapp and
architectural sculptor Corrado Parducci, Rackham Auditorium was quickly recognized as the ideal venue for chamber music. In 1941, UMS presented its first chamber music festival with the Musical Art Quartet of New York performing three concerts in as many days, and the current Chamber Arts Series was born in 1963. Chamber music audiences and artists alike appreciate the intimacy, beauty, and fine acoustics of the 1,129-seat auditorium, which has been the location for hundreds of chamber music concerts throughout the years.
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
Notwithstanding an isolated effort to establish a chamber music series by faculty and students in 1938, UMS 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 theater as part of the 1OOth May Festival's Cabaret Ball. This season the superlative Mendelssohn Theatre hosts UMS's presentation of Arlecchino, Servant of Two Masters and a recital by tenor Ian Bostridge with the Belcea Quartet.
Burton Memorial Tower
Seen from miles away, Burton Memorial Tower is one of the most well-known University o Michigan and Ann Arbor landmarks. Completed in 1935 and designed by Albert Kahn, the 10-story tower is built of Indiana limestone with a height of 212 feet.
UMS administrative offices returned to their familiar home at Burton Memorial Tow.-1 in August 2001, following a year of significa it renovations to the University landmark.
This current season marks the fourth year of the merger of the UMS Ticket Office and the University Productions Ticket Office. Due to this partnership, the UMS walk-up ticket wi?dow is now conveniently located at the Michigan League Ticket Office, on the r.orth end of the Michigan League building at 9(1 N. University Avenue. The UMS Ticket Office phone number and mailing address remains the same.

M
ilestones are important occasions for celebration. The number 125 looms large at the University of Michigan at this time. Two years ago UMS celebrated its 125th season, last year Michigan Football recognized its 125th season, and this year the U-M School of Music celebrates its 125th anniversary. The years 1879 and 1880 have proven to be remarkable years for music and sports in Ann Arbor, launch?ing three distinctive and nationally prominent Michigan institutions.
I would like to note three other milestones being celebrated by valued UMS colleagues this fall.
Director of Finance and Administration and Ann Arbor native John Kennard marks his 30th anniversary with the University, more thai half of which has been with UMS. John consistently brings UMS in under-budget on expenses and is applauded each year by our auditors for the quality and accuracy of UMS's financial records. When John joined our staff in 1989, his son Tony was five years old. Tony, who made frequent visits to the office with his dad over the years and helped out during several sun -mers, is now a US Marine about to begin his third tour in Iraq.
Education and Audience Development Director Ben Johnson, Minnesota native, is celebrating ten years with UMS. Ben oversees all of our education programs and is at the heart of many of our communi'.y partnerships, such as those with Neutral Zone, Arab Community Center for Education and Social Services, Mosaic Youth Theater, and Ann Arbor and Detroit Public Schools, to name just a few. Ben's education programs have been called "exemplary" by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and by the Dana Foundation. His effective work with our commu?nity partners has not only led to more diverse and engaged UMS audiences but has been rewarded with significant corporate, government, and foun?dation grant support over the past decade.
Assistant to the President Elizabeth Jahn, a U-M alumna, is not only a dedicated assistant, but serves as staff liaison to the UMS Board of Directors, keeps superb records of Board and committee deliberations, assists scores of patrons with special needs, and serves as the "glue" that has kept UMS together since she arrived. Additionally, I know of no one more skilled and dedicated to finding cost-saving itineraries on air travel, lodging, and ground transportation on the Internet for our organization
Thank you John, Ben, and Elizabeth for your outstanding and contin?ued service to UMS.
Sincerely,
Kenneth C. Fischer UMS President

Tuesday, September 27, 6:30-8:45 pm, Ann Arbor Public Library, Basement Level, 343 South Fifth Avenue For nearly 50 years, Sonny Rollins has been a formidable force in the music scene. He is one of the few surviving icons from the golden era of jazz, and he has worked with nearly every important jazz master from Thelonius Monk to Miles Davis. This special lecture, by local jazz expert and WEMU program host Michael Jewett, will discuss the legacy of Sonny Rollins and his important contributions to the form. It will be followed by a rare public showing of the performance documentary, Saxophone Colossus, which captures one of the most revered saxophonists of our time during one of his most intensely creative periods.

ark Morris was born on August 29, 1956 in Seattle, Washington, where he studied as a young man with Verla Flowers and Perry Brunson. In the early years of his career, he performed with Lar Lubovitch, Hannah Kahn, Laura Dean, Eliot Feld, and the Koleda Balkan Dance Ensemble. He formed the Mark Morris Dance Group in 1980, and has since created over 100 works for the company. Between 1988-1991, he was Director of Dance at the Theatre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels, the national opera house of Belgium. Among the works created during his tenure were three evening-length dances: The Hard Nut; L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderate; and Dido and Aeneas. In 1990, he founded the White Oak Dance Project with Mikhail Baryshnikov. Mr. Morris is also much in demand as a ballet cho?reographer. He has created five works for the San Francisco Ballet since 1994 and received commissions from such companies as American Ballet Theatre, Boston Ballet, and the Paris Opera Ballet. His work is in the repertory of the Geneva Ballet, New Zealand Ballet, English National Ballet, and the Royal Ballet, Covent Garden. He has worked extensively in opera, directing and choreographing productions for the New York City Opera, English National Opera, and the Royal Opera, Covent Garden. Mr. Morris was named a Fellow of the
MacArthur Foundation in 1991. He has received honorary doctorates from The Boston Conservatory of Music, The Juilliard School, Long Island University, Pratt Institute, Bowdoin College, and George Mason University. Mr. Morris is the subject of a biography by Joan Acocella (Farrar, Straus & Giroux). In 2001, Marlowe & Company published Mark Morris' L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderate: A Celebration, a volume of photographs and criti?cal essays.
M
ark Morris Dance Group (MMDG), now celebrating its 25th anniversary, was formed in 1980 and gave its first concert that year in New York City. The compa?ny's touring schedule steadily expanded to include cities both in the US and in Europe, and in 1986 it made its first national television pro?gram for the PBS series Dance in America. In 1988, the Dance Group was invited to become the national dance company of Belgium, and spent three years in residence at the Theatre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels. The company returned to the United States in 1991 as one of the world's leading dance companies, perform?ing across the US and at major international fes?tivals. It has maintained and strengthened its ties to several cities around the world, most notably Berkeley, CA, where Cal Performances presents the company in two annual seasons, including engagements of The Hard Nut each December It appears regularly in Boston, MA; Fairfax, VA; Seattle, WA; Urbana, IL; and at the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival in Becket, MA. MMDG made its debut at the Mostly Mozart Festival in
and at the Tanglewood Music Festival in
and has since returned to both festivals annually. The company's London seasons have garnered two Laurence Olivier Awards. MMDC is noted for its commitment to live music, a fea? ture of every performance on its full internation? al touring schedule since 1996. Cellist Yo-Yo Ma has frequently collaborated with the Dance Group; their projects include the 1997 Emmy Award-winning film Falling Down Stairs and the 2002 dance Kolam, created for The Silk Roa:i Project in collaboration with Indian composer
Mark Morris

UMS ARCHIVES
I
t comes as a great surprise for many UMS patrons to learn that UMS presentations of dance first appeared on the radar as recently as 1961. The 196162 season included visits to Ann Arbor by American Ballet Theater, Mazowse (from Poland), the Bayanihan Philippine Dance Company, and a Ukranian Dance Company from Kiev...all in Hill Auditorium!
Since that time, modern, contemporary, classical, and world dance have been an integral part of all UMS seasons. UMS strives to serve the larger Michigan community of dance lovers by making sure that what is happening in the international world of dance comes to Michigan.
MMDG is an important part of our recent history. The company first appeared in Ann Arbor in March of 1993 with two repertory programs in the Power Center, followed three seasons later with performances of Mr. Morris's masterful staging of Pucell's opera Dido and Aeneas in the Michigan Theater. Subsequent Power Center performances have included Brahms's Liebeslieder Waltzes in October 1996 (New Love Song Waltzes and Love Song Waltzes) and repertory programs in April 2001.
This weekend's performances mark the Mark Morris Dance Group's ninth and 10th appearances under UMS auspices.

S
onny Rollins is a saxophone colossus. The revered tenor saxophonist first received that appellation via the name of his 1956 Prestige Records album. Even then, at age 26, the title seemed fitting. He had already played andor recorded with bebop giants Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, and J.J. Johnson -and had established himself as the prominent young voice on his instrument via recordings and performances as a leader.
The sobriquet has lasted through the years. It recently served as the title of the June 2005 cover story in Jazz Times, in which saxophonist Joshua Redman interviewed Mr. Rollins. It was also employed -"The Colossus" -as the title of Stanley Crouch's profile of Mr. Rollins in the May 9, 2005 issue of The New Yorker.
And Rollins has shown himself continually deserving of the honorific. A melodically dynam?ic and incredibly hard-swinging improviser, he has often been called the premiere jazz soloist alive.
Walter Theodore Rollins was born in New York City on September 7, 1930; his name has been incorrectly stated as Theodore Walter, a switch Mr. Rollins made in the mid-'50s. A child of music-loving parents of West Indian ancestry, he first played piano and then turned to saxo?phone around age seven. Young Sonny was enthralled.
"I used to play for hours and hours at home," the mostly self-taught musician recalled recently. "I was in my own world, my own rever?ie. I did a lot of free association, just ideas that came to my mind, which is why I have told peo?ple -what I told Joshua Redman -that I con?sider myself a free musician."
In 1951, Sonny Rollins began to record as a leader, first for Prestige. His nine albums, includ?ing Saxophone Colossus and Tenor Madness (with John Coltrane) and featuring Thelonius Monk, Jackie McLean, and others, have been collected in the 7-CD set, The Complete Prestige Recordings.
In 1959, Mr. Rollins took a sabbatical from performing to further develop his musicianship. He lived on Manhattan's Lower East Side, and often practiced on the Williamsburg Bridge. He returned to performing in 1962, and released The Bridge (RCA), a now-classic album featuring guitarist Jim Hall and Bob Cranshaw, his bassist almost nonstop ever since. Mr. Rollins also later led a quartet with trumpeter Don Cherry and drummer Billy Higgins, both of whom had played with maverick saxophonist and compos?er Ornette Coleman; and recorded with his idol, Coleman Hawkins. In 1966, he wrote and per?formed a jazz score for the film, Alfie, and, in 1969, took another sabbatical, this time travel?ing to India and studying with a guru.
In 1972, with the encouragement and sup?port of Lucille, whom he had met in 1956 ir Chicago, and married in 1965, Sonny Rollins again returned to performing and recording -beginning his present association with Milestone Records. In November 2004, Mr Rollins suffered tremendous loss when Lucille, who had not fully recovered from a stroke, died "We were together 48 years," he said. "I miss her." In the wake of Lucille's death, Mr. Rollins has maintained his performing schedule of 20-25 concerts per year, playing recently in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and on Long Island.
Tonight's performance marks Sonny Rollins s UMS debut.

Capriccio in G Major on "Acht Sauschneider miissen sein," Hob. XVII: 1
Sonata No. 53 in e minor. Hob. XVI:34
Franz Joseph Haydn
Born March 31, 1732 in Rohrau, Lower Austria
Died May 31, 1809 in Vienna
The Haydn with whom music-lovers around the world are familiar is still, by and large, the com?poser of the London symphonies and the great oratorios, works written around and after the age of 60. Of his string quartets, too, the later sets are much more frequently performed than the earlier ones. It is all too easy to come to the conclusion that Haydn was a late bloomer who didn't really hit his stride until middle age. In his earlier music, he was supposedly too indebted to the music of the preceding generation to speak in a voice of his own.
Nothing could be further from the truth, and a work like the Capriccio in G Major -a sparkling, endlessly ingenious work based on a simple folksong -is a case in point. Haydn used the title "Capriccio" in several of his early works (some of these are individual movements within larger compositions); each time, the term implies adventurous experimentation with form and harmony. This kind of freedom in 18th-cen?tury keyboard music is usually associated with the name of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714-1788) who was certainly a major influence on Haydn. Yet it should be remembered that C.P.E. Bach's greatest keyboard works were written late in his career; in fact, the most daring among these were written in the 1770s and '80s, long after the present Haydn Capriccio.
The folksong on which the Capriccio was based has the following, rather un-poetic text:
It takes eight people
to castrate a boar.
Two in front and two behind,
Two to cut and two to bind,
It takes eight people
To castrate a boar.
The melody must have been really popular at the time because just a year after Haydn, the 10-year-old Mozart included it in his quodlibet (medley) Galimathias Musicum.
In Haydn's Capriccio, a set of free variations on the melody alternates with long figurative passages that contain some extremely bold key changes. The simple folk tune travels very far in this piece, which stands out as one of the young Haydn's most original achievements.
Works like the Capriccio are the exception rather than the rule in the keyboard music of the Classical era. The vast majority of this repertoire is made up of sonatas -compositions in two or more movements where each movement adheres to a specific type: sonata-allegro, slow movement, minuet, and finale. Within this framework, Haydn's 55 extant keyboard sonatas contain an amazing variety of styles and approaches. As Andras Schiff has pointed out in a penetrating essay, some of Haydn's most pro?found musical utterances may be found amonj the piano works.
Haydn usually associated the minor mooe with heightened emotions; works in minor are often more intense and more agitated than their major-mode counterparts. Sonata No. S3 in e minor is no exception. Its tempos are extreme: the opening movement is faster than usu si (presto instead of allegro) and its second move?ment slower than usual (adagio instead of andante). The range of harmonies is rather wide, and so is the range of pianistic techniques employed. In the first movement, Haydn exploi.s the contrast between staccato, or separated notes, and legato, or connected ones, and the second-movement "Adagio" is a lavishly orna?mented instrumental aria, with plenty of brilliant passagework surrounding a relatively simple melody.
In his aforementioned essay, Mr. Schiff notes that for all the individuality of Haydn's musical language, the Sonata in e minor retains strong links to the past: the first movement is reminis?cent of Domenico Scarlatti's sonatas, while tl e last movement has the formal outline of a ron?deau by Francois Couperin. Two themes -ore
in minor and the other in major -alternate in this finale, with variations on both themes at each repeat. One would expect the last word to belong to the brighter and more comforting major mode, but in this case the opposite hap?pens: it is the dramatic minor that "wins" at the end.
Sonata No. 16 in G Major, Op. 31, No. 1
Ludwig van Beethoven
Born December 15 or 16, 1770 in Bonn, Germany
Died March 26, 1827 in Vienna
Around the time he penned his intensely moving Heiligenstadt Testament, the famous un-mailed letter in which he poured out his heart, Beethoven told his pupil Carl Czerny: "I am not very well satisfied with the work I have thus far done. From this day on I shall take a new way." That "new way" is readily apparent in the three piano sonatas published as Op. 31, which include, in addition to the sonata heard tonight, the d-minor work known as the "Tempest" and a highly innovative piece in E-flat Major.
One of the novelties in Op. 31 is the deci?sion not to open the sonata with a symmetrical musical phrase in the form of question and answer, as Mozart and Haydn had most often done. Instead, Beethoven starts with something less definite, less fully formed, a motif that can be built up and transformed in the course of a complex development. In Sonata No. 16, there are two such motifs: a scale and a series of chords in which the two hands seem to be oddly out of sync. This "raw material" is then repeat?ed a whole step lower, which means jumping, without any warning, into a relatively remote new key. (Beethoven will repeat the exact same procedure in the "Waldstein" sonata that closes tonight's program.) There are many more unex?pected twists and turns along the way in this movement, which Alfred Brendel described as having a "compulsive, but scatterbrained, deter?mination." This sonata is also one of the first to establish thematic links among the different movements; at the end of the opening "Allegro
vivace," Beethoven introduces the germ of what will be the main theme of the finale. (The end of the finale then "returns the favor" by recalling the first movement.)
The second-movement "Adagio grazioso" belongs to the same type of highly embellished "song without words" as the "Adagio" of Haydn's Sonata in e minor, taken a step further. This time, the inspiration is definitely operatic; pianist-musicologist William Kinderman feels there is "a hint of sophisticated mockery" in the music.
The finale is a rondo on a graceful theme followed by some more turbulent episodes. A most extraordinary passage occurs right before the end, where the last statement of the main theme is broken up into isolated fragments, sep?arated by long rests with the tempo oscillating between adagio and allegro. It is a moment of great suspense, finally relieved by a thunderous presto to close the sonata.
Variations in f minor. Hob XVII:6
Haydn
Here, the 61-year-old Haydn shows a side of his personality that can only be qualified as Romantic. From a purely formal point of view, he expands on the idea of "double variation" with alternating minor and major themes, an idea that already appears in the finale of the Sonata in e minor. It was an idea he grew increasingly fond of in his later years. This time, however, the themes are more poignant than ever, the harmonies more striking and the tex?tures much more virtuosic. After each theme has been presented in three variations, Haydn appends an astonishing coda that exceeds everything heard before in boldness and expres?sivity. The rapid scales heard in this section, with their asymmetrical divisions of the measure, are close to the kind of writing one encounters in the works of Chopin.
In one manuscript, Haydn called this piece a "sonata," even though it has only one move?ment. In another, he entitled it, perhaps surpris-
ingly (given the serious tone of the work), un piccolo divertimento. The dedicatee was Barbara von Ployer, a Viennese pianist who had studied with Mozart and for whom Mozart wrote two of his piano concertos (K. 449 and K. 453).
Sonata No. 21 in C Major, Op. 53 ("Waldstein")
Beethoven
The "Waldstein" sonata is as much of a quan?tum leap in Beethoven's oeuvre as the "Eroica" is after Symphony No. 2. Composed around the same time, both symphony and sonata revolu?tionized their respective genres, and not only because of their increased length and their numerous harmonic, melodic, and structural innovations -although these are certainly part of the reason why these works are such impor?tant milestones in the history of music. But there is something else, something larger, having to do with the very idea of what a symphony or a sonata is all about. More than a means to mark a festive occasion or to brighten up a cultivated amateur's home, the music of Beethoven's mid?dle period communicates with an intensity never seen before, plumbs levels of emotional depth no previous music had ever reached, and por?trays the notions of conflict and struggle in com?pletely unprecedented ways.
To reach these new goals, Beethoven had to resort to new methods. Transposition, fragmen?tation, and rhythmic acceleration are just techni?cal terms that superficially describe what hap?pens; they do not do justice to the gradual "opening-up" of the music, its constantly grow?ing excitement, and its irresistible momentum. The concept of "secondary theme" receives a whole new meaning in the "Waldstein" sonata; all the motion suddenly seems to come to a halt as we hear a chorale-like melody in a distant key, as if coming from a different universe. The way the two worlds are subsequently integrated is one of the greatest wonders of the piece, and it is through that integration that the internal con?flicts are resolved.
Beethoven had originally planned a full-fledged slow movement for this sonata, one he later chose to publish separately (this movement is known as the "Andante favori"). Yet in the sonata, he replaced it with a much shorter state?ment, a dramatic transition and introduction to the radiant and expansive finale. The struggles and sharp contrasts of the first movement give way to a bright and sunny landscape. This time we get the big opening melody that was with?held in the first movement: a soaring theme that reigns supreme through much of the move?ment. There are a few darker moments when this theme temporarily yields to other ideas, some in the poignant minor mode. Yet the end?ing, with one of Beethoven's favorite devices -the seemingly endless trill in the high register, is positively ecstatic.
Count Waldstein, the dedicatee of the sonata, was the nobleman from Bonn who hac sent Beethoven on his way to Vienna with the words: "You shall receive Mozart's spirit from Haydn's hands." More prophetic words were never spoken. Even though Beethoven's appren ticeship with Haydn didn't work out as planned, it soon became clear that he was the only true musical heir of Haydn and Mozart. It was Waldstein's good fortune not only to see his pre?diction come true, but also to continue enjoyini; the friendship of his now-famous protege.

In 1999, Mr. Schiff created his own chamber orchestra, the Cappella Andrea Barca, for a seven-year series of the complete Mozart piano concertos, taking place at the Mozartwoche of the Internationale Stiftung Mozarteum in 5alzburg. The group, which consists of interna-
tional soloists, chamber musicians and close friends, is currently slated to tour North America during the current and 0607 seasons in a series of concerts slated for Carnegie Hall and Avery Fisher Hall to commemorate the 250th anniver?sary of Mozart's death.
In October 2005, Mr. Schiff embarks on an extensive recital tour throughout North America with performances in New York, Ann Arbor, Boston, Chicago, Fort Worth, Kansas City, Vancouver, Seattle, Carmel, and Berkeley. He also performs as conductor and soloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic in a program of Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Haydn.
During the next few seasons, the focus of Mr. Schiff's orchestral activities will be conduct?ing programs of Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart from the keyboard. He has annual engagements with the Philharmonia Orchestra, London, and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe as conductor and soloist. He has conducted Bach's B Minor Mass and Haydn's The Creation with the London Philharmonia and was conductor and soloist with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe on a crit?ically acclaimed tour of New York, Chicago, and San Francisco.
Since childhood, Mr. Schiff has enjoyed playing chamber music and was artistic director of the Musiktage Mondsee, an annual chamber music festival near Salzburg from 1989 until 1998. He is presently joint artistic director of the Ittinger Pfingstkonzerte, a chamber music festi-

r. Schiff made his UMS debut with the Budapest Festival Orchestra in October 199S as part of the Choral Union Series in Hill Auditorium. UMS is pleased to have him back for this second appearance as the opening recitalist of our 43rd Annual Chamber Arts Series.
The history of Beethoven's Sonata No. 21 in C Major, Op. 53 -commonly referred to as the "Waldstein Sonata" -on UMS recital programs is remarkable. The sonata has been per?formed 12 pervious times by none other than Louis Maas (1883), Adele Aus der Ohe (1890), Josef Hofmann (1920, 1943), Jose Iturbi (1935), Vladimir Horowitz (1945), Solomon (1950), Eugene Istomin (1964), Vladimir Ashkenazy (1968), Rudolf Serkin (1969, 1980), and Shura Cherkassky(1985).

val he founded in Switzerland with Heinz Holliger in 1995. In 1998, Mr. Schiff started a similar series entitled "Hommage to Palladio" at the Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza. In September 2004 he became artist-in-residence of Kunstfest Weimar, a new festival in Germany.
Mr. Schiff has established a prolific discogra-phy, including recordings for Teldec, LondonDecca, and, since 1997, ECM New Series. Recordings for ECM include the complete solo piano music of Janacek, a solo disc of Schumann piano pieces, and his second record?ing of the Bach Goldberg Variations. He has received several international recording awards, including two Grammy Awards for "Best Classical Instrumental Soloist (Without Orchestra)" for the Bach English Suites, and "Best Vocal Recording" for Schubert's Schwanengesang with tenor Peter Schreier.
Among other honors, Andras Schiff was awarded the Bart6k Prize in 1991 and the Claudio Arrau Memorial medal from the Robert Schumann Society in Dusseldorf in 1994. In March 1996, Mr. Schiff received the highest Hungarian distinction, the Kossuth Prize, and in May 1997 he received the Leonie Sonnings Music Prize in Copenhagen.

P
at Metheny was born in Kansas City on August 12, 1954 into a musical family. Starting on trumpet at the age of eight, Mr. Metheny switched to guitar at age 12. By the age of 15, he was working regularly with the best jazz musicians in Kansas City, receiving valuable on-the-bandstand experience at an unusually young age. Mr. Metheny first burst onto the international jazz scene in 1974. Over the course of his three-year stint with vibra-phonist Gary Burton, the young Missouri native already displayed his soon-to-become trade-marked playing style, which blended the loose and flexible articulation customarily reserved for horn players with an advanced rhythmic and harmonic sensibility -a way of playing and improvising that was modern in conception but grounded deeply in the jazz tradition of melody, swing, and the blues. With the release of his first album, Bright Size Life (1975), he reinvented the traditional "jazz guitar" sound for a new gener?ation of players.
Pat Metheny's versatility is almost nearly without peer on any instrument. Over the years, he has performed with artists as diverse as Steve Reich, Ornette Coleman, Herbie Hancock, Jim Hall, Milton Nascimento, and David Bowie. He has been part of a compositional writing team with keyboardist Lyle Mays for more than 20 years -an association that has been compared to the LennonMcCartney and EllingtonStrayhorn partnerships. Mr. Metheny's body of work includes compositions for solo guitar, small ensembles, electric and acoustic instruments, large orchestras, and ballet.
As well as being an accomplished musician, Pat Metheny has also participated in the aca?demic arena as a music educator. At 18, he was the youngest teacher ever at the University of Miami. At 19, he became the youngest teacher ever at the Berklee College of Music, where he also received an honorary doctorate in 1996. He has also taught music workshops all over the world, including the Dutch Royal Conservatory, the Thelonius Monk Institute of Jazz, and clinics in Asia and South America. He has been a true musical pioneer in the realm of electronic music, and was one of the very first jazz musicians to
treat the synthesizer as a serious musical instru?ment. He has been instrumental in the develop?ment of several new kinds of guitars such as the soprano acoustic guitar, the 42-string Pikasso guitar, Ibanez's PM-100 jazz guitar, and a variety of other custom-made instruments.
It is one thing to attain popularity as a musi?cian, but it is another to receive the kind of acclaim Metheny has garnered from critics and peers. Over the years, Mr. Metheny has won countless polls as "Best Jazz Guitarist" and awards, including three gold records for (Still Life) Talking, Letter from Home, and Secret Story. He has also won 15 Grammy Awards spread out over a variety of different categories including "Best Rock Instrumental," "Best Contemporary Jazz Recording," "Best Jazz Instrumental Solo," and "Best Instrumental Composition." The Pat Metheny Group won an unprecedented seven consecutive Grammies for seven consecutive albums. Mr. Metheny has spent most of his life on tour, averaging between 120-240 shows a year since 1974. Presently, he con?tinues to dedicate time to both his own projects and those of emerging artists and established vet?erans alike, helping them to reach their audience as well as realizing their own artistic visions.
Christian McBride was born in May 1972 in Philadelphia. While jazz lies at the root of Mr. McBride's accomplishments, his passion for musical diversity has led him to work with artists including Chick Corea, Pat Metheny, Kathleen Battle, D'Angelo, Diana Krall, Bruce Hornsby, Quincy Jones, and Sting.
Christian McBride grew up with two profes?sional bassists in the family. While attending Philadelphia's fertile High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, Mr. McBride found himself in the company of other young talents such as members of what would become The Roots, Boyz II Men, Joey DeFrancesco, and guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel. In 1989, Mr. McBride was awarded a partial scholarship to attend The Juilliard School.
In 1992, Mr. McBride was named Rolling Stone magazine's "Hot Jazz Artist." The next
year, he toured as a member of Pat Metheny's "Special Quartet" which included the late, great drum master, Billy Higgins, and the (then) up-and-coming saxophonist Joshua Redman.
In addition to his solo recordings, through?out the last decade Mr. McBride has been fea?tured on over 200 recordings. Mr. McBride graced the big screen playing bass in director Robert Altman's 1940's period piece, Kansas City 1996), as well as its two soundtracks.
In 2003, Pat Metheny tapped Christian McBride and Antonio Sanchez to be the latest members in his acoustic trio format. A live album is scheduled for release by Nonesuch in 2006.
Christian McBride does numerous work?shops and clinics at universities around the country, and in 2000 was named artistic director of the Jazz Aspen Snowmass Summer Program, and, in 2001, was named artistic director of the University of Richmond's summer jazz program and for the Dave Brubeck Institute at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, CA. He is also the newly appointed co-director of The Jazz Museum in Harlem.
Mr. McBride currently resides in New York City.
Antonio Sanchez was born in Mexico City in 1971.
At age 17 he enrolled in the National Conservatory of Music in Mexico City where he pursued a degree in classical piano and compo?sition. In 1993, Mr. Sanchez earned a scholar-
ship to pursue Jazz Studies at Boston's Berklee College of Music. He was soon the "first-call" drummer for some of New England's most active recording studios where he recorded for a wide variety of artists and producers, including Boston-based renowned musicians Gary Burton, Mick Goodrick, and Danilo Perez.
After graduating magna cum laude, Mr. Sanchez obtained a scholarship for a Masters in Jazz Improvisation at the New England Conservatory (NEC) in Boston. Later that year, pianist Danilo Perez requested his talents to be a part of his acoustic trio. They toured extensively for a couple of years and recorded the Grammy-nominated Motherland.
During a double-bill concert in Europe which included Mr. Perez's trio playing opposite Pat Metheny's trio, the legendary guitarist took notice in Mr. Sanchez's drumming. After a few months of auditions he was offered the drum chair of the Pat Metheny Group for their upcom?ing recordings and tours.
The Group has recorded two albums since Mr. Sanchez's addition. The first, Speaking of Now, won a Grammy in 2003 under the "Best Contemporary Jazz Album" category. A DVD under the same name documenting the tour has also been released. The second effort, The Way Up, was released in January 2005.
Antonio Sanchez has conducted clinics and master classes in Europe, Japan, and in North and Latin America including the prestigious Modern Drummer Festival Weekend 2003, The

Some of the institutions that have hosted him as a visiting artist are the Musician's Institute in L.A., Berklee College of Music, and Drummer's Collective in New York City. He has also been the recipient of several scholarships and awards including the Buddy Rich Memorial Scholarship, The Zildjian Award, The Boston Jazz Society Scholarship Achievement Award, and Berklee's "Most Outstanding Performer" Award.
Antonio Sanchez is endorsed by Yamaha Drums and Hardware, Zildjian Cymbals and Sticks, Evans Drumheads, and LP Percussion.
Mr. Sanchez currently resides in New York City.
David Sanchez, born 35 years ago in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico, began playing percussion and drums at age eight before migrating to tenor saxophone four years later. While a student at the prestigious La Escuela Libre de Mcesica in San Juan, he also took up soprano and alto sax?ophones as well as flute and clarinet. The
bomba and plena rhythms of Puerto Rico, along with Cuban and Brazilian traditions, were among the strongest influences on Mr Sanchez's early taste in music.
In 1986, Mr. Sanchez enrolled at the Universidad de Puerto Rico in Rio P'edras, but the pull of New York was irresistible. His 1995 debut for Columbia, The Departure, garnerec critical kudos as did the album's successors Sketches of Dreams, and Street Scenes Produced by Branford Marsalis, Obsesion would garner the saxophonist his first Grammy nomi nation. In 2001, Mr. Sanchez appeared on high profile recordings with bassist Charlie Haden and trombonist Steve Turre before issuing another release on Columbia, Travesia.
With Dizzy Gillespie, Eddie Palmieri, Charlie Haden, and his other jazz mentors, as well as under his own name, David Sanchez has toured extensively, bringing his mix of straight-ahead jazz with Afro-Latin influences to audience around the world.
