FROM THE U-M PRESIDENT
Welcome to this University Musical Society (UMS) performance. At the University of Michigan we are proud of UMS and of the world-class artists and ensembles it brings each season to the University and southeast Michigan.
We are also proud of the outstanding educational programs UMS offers to people of all ages and of the new works in dance, theater, and music it com?missions and premieres. Through the U-MUMS
Partnership Program, the University is pleased to pro?vide support to UMS as it car?ries out its commitment to education, creation, and pres?entation, paralleling the University's commitment to teaching, research, and public engagement.
UMS offers a variety of pro?grams designed to engage
U-M students in the arts. These include programs that provide academic context and background for arts performances, or combine arts performances with social activities; initiatives to make ticket pur?chases more affordable and convenient; and opportunities for students to gain direct experience in arts administration.
UMS is a member of the University's Public Goods Council (PGC), a cluster of campus organizations dedicated to advancing scholarship and culture through music, works of art, special collections, historical archives, natural science resources, per?formance programs, coursework, and experiential learning. The PGC promotes collaboration in ways that enrich the educational and cultural experience on campus and in the community.
I encourage you to attend more UMS events and those offered by the other many outstanding arts and cultural organizations of the University. To learn more about these activities, visit the University's website at www.umich.edu.
Sincerely,
Mary Sue Coleman
President, University of Michigan

FROM THE UMS PRESIDENT
Welcome to this UMS performance. All of us associated with UMS are grateful that you're here. We hope you will enjoy the experience and attend more UMS events during our 131st season. You will find a listing of events on page 2 of this program book.
The UMS Fall 2009 Season. Many thanks to those of you who attended some of the out?standing events of the UMS Fall 2009 Season. Whether it was embracing a young artist making her UMS debut (cellist Alisa Weilerstein), laughing riotously at the behavior of the actors on and off the stage (Shakespeare's Globe Theatre's Love's Labour's Lost), or being totally captivated by the glorious sounds in the reverberant St. Francis sanctuary (Stile Antico), you demonstrated once again why artists like to come to Ann Arbor. You were totally engaged with them, listening intent?ly, absorbing their performances, and then letting them know how much you appreciate them. When I visited Sir Simon Rattle in his dressing room before his Ann Arbor debut as conductor of the Berliner Philharmoniker, the first words out of his mouth were, "There was no way Ann Arbor would be left off this tour. The orchestra members insisted we return here." When I visited with him after the concert, he picked up where he left off, saying, "And now I know why. What a glorious hall--and what a remarkable audience! I could hear them listening."
UMS Strategic Plan. In January 2009, UMS began a strategic planning process with the assis?tance of external consultant Stephen Y. Nose of SYN Associates in Ann Arbor. Many members of the UMS community took part in gathering data through focus groups, personal interviews, sur?veys, and other means in assessing competition, trends, products, and our partnerships. The UMS Board approved key goals and objectives in the fall, and the UMS staff is working on the develop?ment of implementation strategies to achieve them. Many of the goals and objectives deal with internal matters related to staff development, board and staff succession, the UMS brand, and our relationship with key partners including the University of Michigan. The most important objectives are those that deal most directly with
our mission, which is "To inspire individuals and enrich communities by connecting audiences and artists in uncommon and engaging experiences." These include enabling UMS to take greater artis?tic and programmatic risks on an ongoing basis, increasing participation of emerging and new audiences in UMS programs, and creating deeper UMS experiences by providing new and renewed connection points for audiences and artists in both virtual and physical spaces. Stay tuned for
more information as we complete the strategies.
Ford Honors Program.
The 15th Ford Honors Program occurs on Saturday, March 20 during the residency of the San Francisco Symphony when we honor both the SFS and its music director, Michael Tilson Thomas, with the UMS Distinguished Artist
Award. The format takes a different approach this year. The gala dinner precedes the performance, and a champagne reception follows, both planned and organized by our dynamic Advisory Committee. A very brief awards presentation on the Hill stage precedes the performance of Mahler's Symphony No. 2 featuring the SFS and the UMS Choral Union. Look for more informa?tion on our website at www.ums.org.
Feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions, comments, or problems. If you don't see me in the lobby, send me an e-mail message at kenfisch@umich.edu or call me at 734.647.1174.
Thanks again for coming to this event. Very best wishes,
Kenneth C. Fischer UMS President
The UMS Lobby
In June 2009, UMS was one of four organizations awarded an "Innovation Lab" grant by EMCArts, with support from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, to develop an idea that could have a profound impact on how they do business. UMS will launch a beta version of the project in February.
The UMS Lobby will expand and redefine what we mean by "the UMS experience." By combining online and live components in everything UMS does, we will enable a wide range of participants to engage more continuously and more deeply with each other, with the extraordinary history of UMS, with the artists we now present, and with the life of UMS in Ann Arbor and throughout the region.
The UMS Lobby is both a virtual and physical space where people meet, exchange ideas, and build relation?ships -a bridge between daily life and the special places we devote to artistic experiences. The UMS Lobby will include:
-Live preand post-performance events that extend the UMS experience
-A digitized historical archive that includes access to UMS's extraordinary 131 -year history, including the opportunity to submit your own comments, memories, and observations about events that you've attended
-A multimedia blog with articles, video, audio, photos, and links
-Stories from patrons and others about the impact of UMS -in essence, a "living archive" that will grow with time and supplement the historical archive
-Conversation areas that include feeds from our facebook, twitter, and other networks, but that also provide a place to listen and to be heard
FROM UMS CHAIRMAN, JIM STANLEY
How fortunate we are to be part of a UMS audience experiencing artistic performanc?es that have the potential to transform lives. That is of little surprise given the role UMS has in inspiring us, enriching our community, and broadening our understandings of each other. Be it the sound of music, the movement of dance, or the voice of theater, UMS has brought extraordi?nary performances and new experiences from some of the world's most distinctive artists to us for 131 years. UMS is regarded as one of the country's most respected organizations bringing artists and audiences together. UMS makes a dif?ference.
UMS events are presented in many diverse venues, all of which are chosen to create an unusual bond between the performers and the audience. Both the seasoned attendee and the newcomer quickly grasp this unique connection. Lasting ovations and knowledgeable chatter of those leaving the hall let the artists know they have been deeply appreciated and understood. That atmosphere has established a special rela?tionship between UMS audiences and artists. It's been that way for generations.
But there is more than simply a few hours of respite from our busy lives. Our forbearers knew the importance of sustaining their emotional and intellectual spirit by revisiting the many cultural roots that surround them. And so do we. In today's times of world conflict and economic stress, UMS plays a most valuable role in sustain?ing our global community's well being. The 0910 season is a testament to that role. As a starter, the first half of the year witnessed the likes of the Berlin Philharmonic, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre of London, The Suzanne Farrell Ballet, and the Vienna Boys Choir. The second half offers the classical music of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the San Francisco Symphony, Lang Lang at the piano and Julia Fischer on the violin, the moods of Wynton
Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, the singing of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, the voices of St. Petersburg's Maly Drama Theater, the motion of Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, and the wit of The New Yorker music critic Alex Ross. These performances are a small bit of what UMS is doing for us now. It just doesn't get any better anywhere.
The UMS Board and I encourage you to engage yourself in the many experiences afford-
ed by UMS. Dare yourself to be exposed to the different sounds and colors that are part of our ever-shrinking planet. They are all here. Enjoy the pride in being among our individual and corporate donors whose contributions fund more than half the expenses of bringing worldwide artists to our doors each year. The
back of this program documents the wonderful support, both large and small, from our benefac?tors. Join them and participate as advocates for the cultural contributions that UMS offers to our greater community. Do it for yourself and for those who follow. Learn about us and talk to us at www.ums.org. We like to listen. And remem?ber how very fortunate you are to be part of the UMS difference.
Sincerely,
James C. Stanley I

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. Please be sure the Ticket Office has your e-mail address on file.
UMS works with artists to allow a flexible late-seating policy for family performances.

UMS HISTORY
Through 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 the past 131 years, strong leadership coupled with a devoted community has 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 history, balanced by a commit?ment to dynamic and creative visions of where the performing arts will take us in this new mil?lennium. Every day UMS seeks to cultivate, nur?ture, and stimulate 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 Simmons Frieze and conducted by Professor Calvin Cady, the group assumed the name The Choral Union. Their first performance of Handel's Messiah was in December of 1879 and this glorious oratorio has since been per?formed by the UMS Choral Union annually.
Many Choral Union members also belonged to the University, and the University Musical Society was established in December 1880. UMS included the Choral Union and University Orchestra, and throughout the year presented a series of concerts featuring local and visiting artists and ensembles.
Since that first season in 1879, 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, commissioning of new works, youth programs, artist residencies, and other collaborative projects, UMS has maintained its reputation for quality, artistic distinction, and innovation. UMS now hosts over 60 performances and more than 125 educational events each season. UMS has flourished with the support of a generous community that this year gathers in seven different Ann Arbor venues.
The UMS Choral Union has likewise expanded its charge over its 131-year history. Recent collaborations have included the Grammy Award-winning recording of William Bolcom's Songs of Innocence and of Experience (2004), Shostakovich's Symphony No. 13 ("Babi Yar") with the Kirov Orchestra of St. Petersburg (2006), John Adams's On the Transmigration of Souls with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (2007), and Orff's Carmina Burana during Maestro Leonard Slatkin's opening weekend as Music Director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (2008).
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 organiza?tion that supports itself from ticket sales, corpo?rate and individual contributions, foundation and government grants, special project support from U-M, and endowment income.
UMS VENUES AND BURTON MEMORIAL TOWER
Hill Auditorium
Originally built in 1913, a $38.6-million dollar renovation overseen by Albert Kahn Associates, Inc. and historic preservation architects Quinn EvansArchitects has updated Hill's infrastructure and restored much of the interior to its original splendor. Exterior renovations include the reworking of brick paving and stone retaining wall areas, restoration of the south entrance plaza, the reworking of the west barrier-free ramp and loading dock, and improvements to landscaping. Hill Auditorium re-opened to the public in January 2004.
Interior renovations included the demolition of lower-level spaces to ready the area for future improvements, 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 sys?tems, and the complete replacement of mechanical and electrical infrastructure systems for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.
Hill Auditorium seats 3,575.
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
Notwithstanding an isolated effort to establish a chamber music series by faculty and students in 1938, UMS began presenting artists in Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre in 1993 when Eartha Kitt and Barbara Cook graced the stage of the inti?mate 658-seat theater as part of the 100th May Festival's Cabaret Ball. This season the superla?tive Mendelssohn Theatre hosts UMS's Jazz Series concert presentations of the Bill Charlap Trio and The Bad Plus.
Michigan Theater
The historic Michigan Theater opened January 5, 1928 at the peak of the vaudevillemovie palace era. Designed by Maurice Finkel, the 1,710-seat theater cost around $600,000 when it was first built. 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. At its opening, the theater was acclaimed as the best of its kind in the country. Since 1979, the theater has been operated by the not-for-profit Michigan Theater Foundation. With broad community support, the Foundation has raised over $8 million to restore and improve the Michigan Theater. The beautiful interior of the theater was restored in 1986.
In the fall of 1999, the Michigan Theater opened a new 200-seat screening room addi?tion, which also included expanded restroom facilities for the historic theater. The gracious facade and entry vestibule was restored in 2000.
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. The Powers were immediately interested in supporting the University's desire to build a new theater, realizing that state and fed?eral governments were unlikely to provide finan?cial support for the construction of a 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 provid?ing a soaring interior space with a unique level of intimacy. Architectural features include two
large spiral staircases leading from the orchestra level to the balcony and the well-known mirrored glass panels on the exterior. The lobby of the Power Center presently features two hand-woven tapestries: Modem Tapestry by Roy Lichtenstein and Volutes (Arabesque) by Pablo Picasso.
The Power Center seats approximately 1,400 people.
Rackham Auditorium
Seventy 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 strong?ly in the importance of the study of human his?tory and human thought, died in 1933, his will 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 is the fact that neither he nor his wife ever attended the University of Michigan.
Designed by architect William 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 per?forming 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.
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church
Dedicated in 1969, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church has grown from 248 families when it
first started to more than 2,800 today. The pres?ent church seats 1,000 people and has ample free parking. In 1994, St. Francis purchased a splendid three manual "mechanical action" organ with 34 stops and 45 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 acoustics of the church building, and the rever?berant sanctuary has made the church a gather?ing place for the enjoyment and contemplation of sacred a cappella choral music and early music ensembles.
University of Michigan Museum of Art
The University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA) is a dynamic meeting place for the arts that bridges visual art and contemporary cul?ture, scholarship and accessibility, and tradition and innovation. With the addition in March 2009 of the 53,000-square-foot Maxine and Stuart Frankel and the Frankel Family Wing and the restoration of historic Alumni Memorial Hall, UMMA ushered in a new era, a reimagining of the university art museum as a "town square" for the 21st century. With dramatically expand?ed galleries, special exhibition spaces that soar with new life, "open storage" galleries, and a range of lively educational and event spaces, UMS periodically presents events in multiple spaces throughout the museum.
Burton Memorial Tower
Seen from miles away, Burton Memorial Tower is one of the most well-known University of Michigan and Ann Arbor landmarks. Designed by Albert Kahn in 1935 as a memorial to U-M President Marion Leroy Burton, the 10-story tower is built of Indiana limestone with a height of 212 feet. The carillon, one of only 23 in the world, is the world's fourth heaviest containing 55 bells and weighing a total of 43 tons. UMS has occupied administrative offices in this building since its opening.

German violinist Julia Fischer is recognized worldwide for possessing a talent of uncommon ability and as an exceptionally gifted performer, reflected in the numerous awards and effusive reviews she has received for both her live performances and recordings, including being named "Artist of the Year" at the Gramophone Awards in 2007.
Praised for her imaginative and illuminating interpretations of the classical repertoire, 26-year-old Ms. Fischer is equally lauded for her technical skill: "She may have spitfire technique...but in Fis?cher's case the notes are not an end in themselves but purely a means to expressing musical truths" (Financial Times).
In January 2009, Ms. Fischer released a record?ing of Bach concertos on the Decca label recorded with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields Cham?ber Orchestra. Upon its US release, the recording became the fastest-selling classical music debut in iTunes history. Ms. Fischer subsequently toured as director and soloist with the Academy orchestra to 11 European cities and 10 North American cit?ies. In its five-star review of the recording, BBC Music Magazine described Ms. Fischer as "...an intuitive Bachian. Her phrasing is elegant and she has an unerring feeling for Bach's broad architec?tural melodic contours."
Ms. Fischer recorded Bach's Sonatas and Parti?tas for solo violin in 2005 and revisits these works on a two-month tour in 2010 encompassing 12 European cities and seven US cities, including two performances at Carnegie Hall's Zankel Hall in March. The recording earned worldwide criti?cal praise including the rare distinction of winning three of France's most prestigious awards: the Diapason d'Or from Diapason; the CHOC from Le Monde de la Musique; and the highest rating from Classica Repertoire. The Bach recording also saw her awarded the BBC Music Magazine Award as "Best Newcomer" in 2006.
In addition to the Bach tours, Ms. Fischer's European 0910 season concert schedule includes tours of Europe with the St. Petersburg Philhar?monic and Yuri Temirkanov and the Netherland Philharmonic Orchestra and Yakov Kreizberg. Ms. Fischer is the Artist-in-Residence with the Tonhalle Orchestra in Zurich and performed a chamber mu?sic concert in December 2009 and will perform Shostakovich's Violin Concerto No. 1 in three con?certs with Michael Sanderling in June 2010. She will continue as Artist-in-Residence with the Or-
chestra in the 1011 season in Baden-Baden.
Born in Munich in 1983 to a pianist mother from Slovakia and a mathematician father from Eastern Germany, Ms. Fischer began learning the piano with her mother at age three, but was soon persuaded to take up the violin as well because, as her brother also played piano, her mother thought it would be nice to have another instrument in the family. She began violin lessons at the Leopold Mozart Conservatoire in Augsburg, and three years later, she became a pupil of the famous Ana Chumachenco at the Munich Academy of Music (Musikhochschule). At just 11 years old, she won the Yehudi Menuhin International Violin Competi?tion, an event that catapulted her toward a career as a soloist.
Ms. Fischer lives in Munich, Germany. Her sec?ond recording for Decca of Paganini caprices is scheduled for worldwide release in late 2010.

Synopsis
Professor Serebriakov, recently retired from the university, comes to the family's country estate with his second wife, Elena Andreyevna. For years the property has been run by Uncle Vanya, the brother of Serebriakov's first wife, now deceased, and by Sonia, the professor's daughter from his first marriage. The country house is also home to Sonia's grandmother, Maryia Voinitskaia, the professor's first mother-in-law; the family's nanny Marina ("nyanya" in Russian); and their impover?ished friend Telegin Ilia.
The sultry summer heat and the presence of Serebriakov and his young wife affect everyone's daily existence on the estate in many disturbing ways. The ailing professor imposes his habits on the others and demands special attention. Elena struggles in her position as the much younger wife of an ailing man. The country doctor, Mikhail Lvovich Astrov, is called in. His visits become more frequent than ever before. Sonia is secretly in love with the doctor and hopes that one day he will respond to her passion. Both Vanya and Astrov are attracted to the beautiful Elena. But for Vanya this becomes an obsession, fueled by his realiza-
tion that the self-important professor does not deserve either a high intellectual reputation or such a young and beautiful wife.
Vanya's frustration and anger reach a dra?matic climax when he discovers Elena in the arms of Doctor Astrov and, soon thereafter, finds out that the professor has decided to sell the estate. Suddenly aware of his wasted life, Vanya grabs a pistol and starts shooting at Serebriakov. But he misses his target. Dejected and overwhelmed by his own helplessness he drops the weapon while Elena, in shock, demands that she and her hus?band leave the estate right away.
In the last act, the visitors take their farewells and depart. Doctor Astrov, who respects Sonia but does not love her, is ready to leave too. Eventually everyone's life on the estate retums to what it was before this stormy summer. Or does it Sonia and Vanya sit at the table and resume their duties; the grandmother reads one of her books; Marina car?ries on with her knitting; and Telegin plays the gui?tar softly. The concluding words belong to Sonia: "You've had no joy in your life, but wait, Uncle, just wait...we'll rest...we'll rest. We'll rest!"

Director's Note
The life is flowing and sooner or later a man starts to see his lived-through years as a treasure he didn't manage to put to good use. He starts to see visions of other possible but unlived lives. In these other lives, all his secret dreams come true, all his hopes are fulfilled, all his sweetest fan?tasies become real. The man furiously bums up the past, denies the present, and gives himself totally to this other life which he could but didn't manage to live. The fuller the man understands life, the sharper he feels this gap, this contradiction which grows into a tragedy. Time goes by, and gradually you are faced with a choice--either to refuse the life completely, or to find courage to live through the life which was given to you by God and Fate and which you've been carrying out and are carrying out by yourself, with your willpower and personality.
Lethally ill doctor Chekhov knew this paradox only too well and he analyzed it with amazing tenderness and des?perate ruthlessness. This, as well as many other things, makes Chekhov's plays and Uncle Vanya--the most beau?tiful of them--a simple but eternal melody with simple but eternal themes.
--Lev Dodin
Lev Dodin on Set Designer David Borovsky
David Borovsky's (1934-2006) departure is a personal loss for me. For many of the last years he's been my irreplaceable friend and an absolutely irreplaceable co-author. I can hardly imagine now doing the things we've done without him and it is equally hard to imagine doing something new without him. We have lost a great theater artist of the 20th and 21st century, since his last works were clearly creations of the 21st century. David Borovsky strongly and har?moniously combined in him the incarnations of a great artist, of a serious profound thinker, and of a wonderful man. Such a powerful combination in one human being is very rare-or maybe it's the only possible combination for a serious artist.
Mr. Borovsky was one of the first set designers in the world and in Russia who started looking for a new theater language. Having acquired all the best lessons of his predecessors, he moved on from furnishing the performance (creating sets) to the idea of set design as creating a space for life, a space which would define the performance-to-be, dictating certain rules to it as opposed to simply depicting where the action was supposed to be taking place. A space to become a philoso?phy of life. His spaces--I can't make myself call them simply "sets"--were always beautiful and always came alive once filled with the flow of the performance. Most often they came alive in those theaters where David was an equal co-author of the performance. In fact, he was always a secret co-director of all the performances he designed. It suffices to remember the great performances of the Moscow Taganka Theatre--Borovsky was their very soul. His great curtain across the stage, sweeping all the characters into eternity in Ham?let, the military lorry taking the girls-soldiers of the Second World War straight into eternity in How Quiet Are The Dawns Here, his coach propelling itself into eternity in the performance dedicated to Pushkin--I can go on enumerating on end.
He felt, understood, and designed music mi?raculously well. His many works in the internation?al opera theater are absolute masterpieces, music incarnated in space. The deepest understanding of the philosophy of the musical dramaturgy was characteristic of his works. His opera set designs are unfortunately almost unknown in Russia, since he mostly designed for opera in Europe.
Developing and remaining an innovator until his
last day, living next to us all, he was becoming a clas?sic, affirming absolute harmony and spiritual beauty through all the tragic curves and angles of theatrical spaces he created. With every passing year he valued harmony above all else. In essence he was a living classic by definition--both in his philosophy and his way of thinking. It was enough to take a glance of his Socrates forehead and his Jewish eyes filled with wisdom to realize that he made a metier of getting to the heart of things. He became the leader and the teacher of several generations of set designers. The most outstanding set designers of Russia treated him as a senior, and called him "rabbi." His judg?ment was law for the most willful and tempestuous theater personalities.
Born in 1944 in Siberia, where his mother had been evacuated during the war, Lev Dodin began studying theater as a child at the Len?ingrad Young Viewers' Theatre directed by Matvey Grigorievich Dubrovin. He entered the Leningrad Theatre Institute immediately after graduating high school and studied under the famous theater direc?tor and teacher Boris Vulfovich Zon.
Mr. Dodin's debut as a director came in 1966 with the televised performance of First Love, based on the story by Ivan Turgenev. Then came dozens of shows staged at theaters in St. Peters?burg, Moscow, and abroad, including: It's a Fam?ily Affair--We'll Settle It Ourselves (Leningrad Young Viewers' Theatre); The Minor and Rosa Berndt (Leningrad Theatre of Drama and Com?edy); A Gentle Creature with Oleg Borisov (BDT and MKhAT); The Golovlev Family with Innokenty Smoktunovsky (MKhAT); Bankrupt (Finnish Na?tional Theatre); the opera Elektra at the Salzburg Festival with Claudio Abbado; Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District at the Florence Musical May Festival; The Queen of Spades in Amsterdam, Flor?ence, and Paris with Semen Bychkov; Mazepa at La Scala in Milan with Mstislav Rostropovich; and The Demon at Theatre du Chatelet in Paris with Valery Gergiev.
In 1992, Mr. Dodin and his theater were invit?ed to join the Union of Theatres of Europe, and in 1998 his theater was the third granted the status "Theatre of Europe" after the Theatre de I'Odeon in Paris and the Piccolo Teatro di Milano. Mr. Do?din is a member of the General Assembly of the Union of Theatres of Europe.
Lev Dodin
Mr. Dodin's directing for the Maly Drama Theatre started in 1975 with Karel Chapek's The Robber. The staging of Abramov's The House in 1980 determined the artistic fate of Mr. Dodin and his company. Mr. Dodin has been the theater's artis?tic director since 1983. Those years have brought stagings of Brothers and Sisters, Lord of the Flies, Stars in the Morning Sky, Gaudeaumus, The Pos?sessed, Love Under the Elms, Claustrophobia, The Cherry Orchard, A Play with No Name, Chevengur, Uncle Vanya, and others.
In 1967 Mr. Dodin began teaching acting and directing. He is now a professor at the Saint Pe?tersburg Academy of Theatrical Arts where he chairs the directing department. Mr. Dodin has raised many generations of actors and directors and has taught master classes at theater schools in Great Britain, France, Japan, and the US.
Today the Maly Drama Theatre unites genera?tions of Mr. Dodin's students. Mr. Dodin's direct?ing and productions have won many state and international prizes and awards, including state prizes of Russia and the USSR, the Triumph In?dependent Prize, Golden Mask National Awards, and a Laurence Olivier Award.
David Borovsky (1934-2006) (Set Designer) began working as an artist in Kiev with the Lesya Ukrainka Russian Drama Theatre. He created sets for Shostakovich's Katerina Izmailova at the Taras Shevchenko The?atre of Opera and Ballet, and then worked with director Leonid Varpakhovsky at MkhAT and with the Maly Drama Theatre. Mr. Borovsky be?gan working with Yury Lyubimov at the Taganka Theatre in Moscow in the 1960s. He co-authored some of the theater's most famous productions, such as Alive (staged in 1968 but was banned and only shown to the public in 1989), Mother, Ham?let, The House on the Embankment, The Intersec?tion, Crime and Punishment, Master and Marga?rita, The Dawns are Quiet Here, Vladimir Vysotsky, Believe, Comrade, and others.
Mr. Borovsky often worked abroad. He cre?ated sets for Lyubimov's productions in Italy and Great Britain. He worked with Istvan Horvai in Hungary, Oleg Tabakov in West Germany, and Kama Ginkas in Finland. Years of close collabora?tion and friendship with Lev Dodin brought such plays as Lord of the Flies, Molly Sweeney, Uncle Vanya, and his last oeuvre King Lear (2006) at the Maly Drama Theatre. Mr. Borovsky participated in many international exhibits. He was awarded nu?merous Russian and international awards, includ?ing the Russian State Prize and the Triumph inde?pendent prize. He also held gold medals from the Russian Arts Academy, the Prague Quarenialle, the Yugoslav Trienialle, and was a People's Art?ist of Russia. On the drama and opera stages of Russia, Italy, Germany, Hungary, France, Finland, and the US, Mr. Borovsky created more than 150 performances.
The Maly Drama Theatre (MDT) was found?ed in 1944 in Leningrad at a time when most theaters had been evacuated from the city. Founded by a decision of the Oblast Execu?tive Committee, the theater had neither a clear artistic program, nor its own building. The small company performed in towns and villages of the Leningrad Oblast. From time to time, interesting plays were staged, but the theater was still little-known in the city. In 1973 Efim Padve, a student of Tovstonogov, was invited to serve as chief di?rector. He later attracted well-known playwrights and young directors, one of whom was Lev Dodin. The theater soon gained popularity in the city and found its viewers.
The 1980 premiere of Lev Dodin's adaptation of Fedor Abramov's The House became a major event not only for the theater, but for the theatri?cal life of Leningrad. It was difficult to get approv?al to perform the play publicly. The truth told first by Fedor Abramov and then retold by the theater was hard for culture bureaucrats to swallow. But the play was bound for success and remained in the theater's repertoire for 20 years. It played to full houses in St. Petersburg and on Russian and foreign tours, and it was awarded the USSR State Prize in 1986. The death of the leading actor, Nikolay Lavrov (who played Mikhail Pryaslin), put an end to this favorite of many.
Today the MDT is a recognized leader among Russian theaters and receives international ac?claim. Based on the novel by Fedor Abramov, Brothers and Sisters (part of a trilogy, along with The House) traveled almost all over Europe during its 20 years in repertoire. It was shown in the US and Japan and was awarded many prizes, includ?ing the USSR State Prize in 1986, "Best Foreign Performance of the Year" in Great Britain, and the UBU Italian Prize in 1995.
Until 2003, the MDT was the establishment of regional culture. In one season, the theater gave over 60 performances in the Leningrad region. The theater has now officially received all-Russia status and works under control of the Federal Agency for Culture and Cinematography, but still continues its relationship with the Leningrad region.
Since 1969, Lev Dodin has taught at the St. Pe?tersburg State Theatre Arts Academy. He is now a professor and head of the stage direction depart?ment. Actors and directors receive much of their education at the MDT. In 1999, the MDT opened a chamber stage with an auditorium of 50 seats, used as an experimental laboratory where young actors and directors test their talents.
The Maly Drama Theatre is a regular guest and participant in prestigious theater festivals of the world. Led by Lev Dodin, the theater's coaches hold workshops at major theater schools in Eu?rope and America. The MDT offers internships to young directors and actors from around the world. The MDT conducts stage speech, stage movement, and singing classes daily which are obligatory for beginning and mature actors. There are 56 actors in the company, most of whom are past or present students of Lev Dodin.
This week's performances mark the UMS debuts of Lev Dodin and the Maly Drama Theatre of St. Petersburg.

Now that you're in your seat...
In many ways, Prokofiev and Brahms may be considered opposites. Brahms was the very embodiment of the German romantic tradition against which the young Prokofiev rebelled. The master from Hamburg could be serious or playful but never sarcastic as the young Russian from Sontsovka. Their lives overlapped just barely: Prokofiev was born six years before Brahms's death. Yet the author of the German Requiem is no stranger to the biography of the composer who wrote The Love for Three Oranges. Prokofiev played Brahms's music as a student, and even conducted Brahms's Violin Concerto during his final year at the St. Petersburg conservatory. Prokofiev expert Harlow Robinson finds Brahmsian echoes in the slower section of the finale from Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 3, and even stronger influences in the Fifth Symphony. Yet one can hardly imagine two "classical symphonies" that are as different (despite being in the same key) as Prokofiev's tongue-in-cheek tribute to Haydn and Brahms's organic continuation of Beethoven. The world had indeed changed a great deal during the 40 years that separate these two masterpieces.
Symphony No. 1 in D Major, Op. 25 ("Classical") (1917)
Sergei Prokofiev
Born April 27, 1891 in Sontsovka, Ukraine
Died March 5, 1953 in Moscow
Snapshot of History... In 1917:
Two revolutions in Russia (February and October)

With his first two piano concertos and the Scythian Suite, the young Prokofiev established a reputation, in the 1910s, as the enfant terrible of Russian music, shocking critics and audiences with his highly unconventional harmonies and wild rhythms. His early works seemed to be all about defying authority. He rebelled against his teachers at the St. Petersburg Conservatory (Glazunov and Liadov), but his music also reflected the
more general intellectual unrest of the war years that led to the 1917 revolutions (the overthrow of the Czar in February and the Bolshevik coup in October). Yet in one of his first works written after the revolution broke out, Prokofiev went out of his way to appear non-revolutionary: he spent much of the summer of 1917 working on a "Classical Symphony," ostensibly conceived within the harmonic and structural world of Haydn's symphonies. In retrospect, though, it is clear that this return to Classicism was just another contrary move on the part of a young man always intent on doing the unexpected. Nor is that return complete: we are frequently jolted out of our classical dreams by some change of key Haydn had never dreamt of, or some metric irregularity that would have astounded 18th-century musicians.
In his autobiography, Prokofiev wrote:
It seemed to me that had Haydn lived to our day he would have retained his own style while accepting something of the new at the same time. That was the kind of symphony I wanted to write: a symphony in the classical style. And when I saw that my idea was beginning to work, I called it the Classical Symphony: in the first place because that was simpler, and secondly, for the fun of it, to "tease the geese," and in the secret hope that I would prove to be right if the symphony really did turn out to be a piece of classical music.
The first ideas for the symphony date from 1916--the third-movement "Gavotta" was written that year. Thus the decision to replace the minuet, a dance in 34 time, by a dance in duple meter, was made early on. The "Gavotta" was clearly Prokofiev's favorite among old dance forms: he had included it earlier in his Ten Pieces for Piano, Op. 12, and again later in the ballet Romeo and Juliet, where he reused, in a somewhat expanded form, the music from the third movement of the symphony. The first and second movements were also sketched in 1916, but the bulk of the work was completed during the summer of 1917, in a country house where Prokofiev was sheltered from the turmoil of that difficult summer. The composer had left his piano in the city, having decided for the first time to write without one. "I believed that the orchestra would sound more natural," he wrote later; and in fact, he had achieved a bright and delicate orchestral sound that his earlier works didn't have.
At 15 minutes' duration, the "Classical" is the shortest of Prokofiev's seven symphonies, and shorter than many by Haydn. The themes are all kept brief and developments are sparse, with the emphasis on shorter, well-rounded, and separated units. The very simplicity of the writing sometimes becomes the source of musical humor. For instance, the first movement's second theme consists of only two different notes, each of which is repeated two octaves lower--an unusually large melodic leap that saves the melody from becoming banal. The orchestration also adds more than a few comic touches, as in the third movement where, after the middle section, the "Gavotta" theme retums in sharply reduced scoring, causing the theme to vanish into thin air, as it were. A more serious tone is introduced in the second-movement "Larghetto," which anticipates the lyricism of Prokofiev's Soviet-period works from the 1930s. But the work ends on a cheerful note, with a sparkling finale that is hard to listen to without at least a smile.

Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Major, Op. 26
(1917-21) Prokofiev

Prokofiev, the last great Russian composer who worked in the West as well as in his homeland, was born in a remote Ukrainian village where his agronomist father was employed as a manager of a large estate and his mother gave him his first music lessons. Later he studied at the Conser?vatory in St. Petersburg and became a brilliant pianist. After the Revolution, Prokofiev came to America and then settled in Paris, where he was an influential figure until his return to the Soviet Union in 1933.
Prokofiev accumulated ideas for this concerto over a period of years. Some originated as early as 1911, but he did not plan the work as a whole until 1917, a year of intense creative activity in which he also worked on his Violin Concerto No. 1, Symphony No. 7, two piano sonatas, and the opera 77ie Love of Three Oranges. In 1918 he was allowed to leave Russia for a long trip across Asia and the Pacific Ocean to the US and, eventu?ally, Western Europe. He finished the Concerto in France, in October 1921, and on December 16 he was the soloist in its first performance with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The Concerto was a success in Chicago, with public and press, but failed in New York 10 days later. It soon made its way to London and Paris, and even to Moscow. Since then, it has become one of the most popular 20th-century piano concertos, for it is at once bril?liant, lyrical, witty, and profound; a great virtuoso piece for both soloist and orchestra.
Alfred Frankenstein, the distinguished critic who as a young man was present at the Con?certo's American premiere, wrote more than 40
years later, "To hear Prokofiev play the piano was an utterly shattering experience. The piano seemed to bend and sway under the impact of Prokofiev's assault, and yet his playing was monumental in its clarity and in the sharp, steely planes of sound. He created the pianistic style of the 20th century--a classically inspired style in keeping with the charac?ter of the music, but one which overwhelmed the listener with its elemental force." We now know that these qualities in Prokofiev's performance are inherent in the music of the Concerto itself.
The first movement begins with a slow in?troduction, "Andante," in which a solo clarinet presents a lyric melody that will be transformed into the two contrasting subjects of the "Allegro" main section. The first is vigorously athletic and the second may be interpreted as either witty or grotesque, but Prokofiev also retums, in the course of the movement, to the opening clarinet theme, to be sure that the listener does not forget it. The second movement presents a march-like theme with a series of five inventive variations on it, and the third movement, "Allegro ma non troppo," is constructed, like the first, on the classical principle of contrast between two themes.

Symphony No. 2 in D Major, Op. 73
(1877)
Johannes Brahms
Bom May 7, 1833 in Hamburg, Germany Died April 3, 1897 in Vienna
Snapshot of History... In 1877:

It took Brahms almost 20 years to complete his Symphony No. 7. After the successful premiere of the work in November 1876, however, the ice was
broken, and the Second Symphony was written in a single summer the following year.
Symphony No. 2 is usually considered an "idyl?lic" work (musicologist Reinhold Brinkmann has called his book-length study of the symphony Late Idyll). Yet the usual cliche about Symphony No. 2 (that it is Brahms's "Pastorale") is just as mislead?ing as the one about his First Symphony, which was called "Beethoven's Tenth" (meaning some kind of continuation of Beethoven's Ninth Sym?phony, on account of the last movement's main theme, which is reminiscent of the "Ode to Joy" melody). It is true that the Second is the happiest of the four Brahms symphonies, but there is no programmatic intent as in Beethoven's Symphony No. 6. Also, the rhythm of the first movement's opening theme recalls, if anything, the first theme of Beethoven's "Eroica," and the triumphant trum?pet fanfares of the closing measures resemble the end of the overture from Egmont, one of the most glorious examples of Beethoven's heroic style.
In fact. Symphony No. 2 describes a rather unique emotional curve, from a soft-spoken and lyrical, indeed somewhat pastorale-like first movement to this exuberant ending, with a mel?ancholy "Adagio" and a graceful "Allegretto" in between. In addition, each movement departs from its basic character to encompass others that are sometimes very different from the initial ones; so it would be hard to attach a single descriptive label to the symphony.
The first movement is mostly gentle and sweet, and contains some of Brahms's warmest melodic thoughts. But there are some "dim and spectral effects," as Karl Geiringer called them in his classic Brahms monograph, right at the beginning of the symphony, as the trombones and tuba (the latter not used in any of the other Brahms symphonies) make their presence felt by their somber chordal progressions, punctuated by soft timpani rolls. Brahms "rocks the boat" in particular by introduc?ing a series of rhythmical irregularities: the martial dotted rhythms, which Brahms used with some frequency in his work, are distinguished in this case by the asymmetry between the two halves of the phrase. In the development section there are moments of intense drama, but the recapitulation eases these tensions and the coda even adds a gentle smile as one of the themes receives a new accompaniment by pizzicato (plucked) strings.
The second-movement "Adagio non troppo" (the only full-fledged adagio in the Brahms sym-
phonies) begins with an expansive cello melody that does not obey any Classical rules of articu?lation; the listener may never be sure when the phrase will come to a rest. After the melody has been repeated in a fuller instrumentation, a haunt?ing horn solo leads into a more animated middle section, culminating in a dense forte passage. The recapitulation that follows still seems to be under the spell of the excitement that has not complete?ly passed, and includes a second outburst of emo?tions after which the movement dies away with a brief clarinet solo and a soft orchestral chord.
The third movement is a lyrical intermezzo, similar to the analogous movement in Brahms's Symphony No. 7. The alternation of two contrast?ing thematic materials (ABABA) is an idea bor?rowed from scherzo form. The "B" section (or trio) is in a faster tempo than the opening ae-gretto, and its theme is a variant of the latter. The second time, the 24 meter of the trio is changed to 38. The final repeat of the "Allegretto" theme is somewhat extended, with a digression to a re?mote key; a beautiful, bittersweet new idea ap?pears in the violins just before the end.
The finale begins in a subdued piano as a uni?son melody; harmonies and counterpoint are add?ed later as the full orchestra enters and the vol?ume increases to forte. The broad second theme is played by violins and violas in parallel sixths. The development section opens by the main theme in its original form, giving the impression for a moment that the whole movement is starting all over again. Soon, however, the music takes a new turn and a true development follows, progressing towards a true anti-climax, getting slower and softer and finally reaching a mysterious moment with mere melodic fragments played by the winds over tremolos of the strings. The recapitulation is shortened and contains many subtle changes; but it brings back all the important thematic material and leads into the rousing trumpet fanfare that concludes the symphony.
After hearing the symphony, the composer's longtime friend, the eminent surgeon and ac?complished amateur musician Theodor Bill-roth exclaimed: "How beautiful it must be at Portschach!" Billroth knew that the piece had been written at the resort on the Worthersee (Lake of Worth) in the Austrian province of Car-inthia; Brahms spent three consecutive summers there between 1877 and 1879. There is no doubt that the beauty of the lake surrounded by moun-
tains exerted a strong influence on him, and some of the similarity in tone between Symphony No. 2 and the Violin Concerto, completed at Portschach the following year, can probably be ascribed to the genius locations.
The premiere, conducted by Hans Richter on December 30, 1877, was one of Brahms's greatest triumphs; the third movement had to be repeated. The enthusiastic reception of his Symphony No. 2 marked the beginning of Brahms's reconciliation with his native city.

When the great American conductor, artistic mentor, and patron Leonard Bernstein created the Orchestral Acad?emy in 1987, it was the first of its kind in Europe. Modeled on the famous American festival Tangle-wood, Bernstein envisioned the Orchestral Acade?my as a center for training young orchestral musi?cians of the highest caliber. Today, the Orchestral Academy is at the core of the educational mission of the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, one of Europe's most important classical music festivals, held annually in the north of Germany. Each year, the Orchestral Academy assembles an interna?tional youth orchestra by vetting students from around the world. Auditions are offered each win?ter in 30 cities across North and South America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East to more than 1,200 young musicians. Based on these perfor?mances, a jury admits approximately 100 hand-picked musicians, 26 years of age and younger, to join the Orchestral Academy. In other words, the Schleswig-Holstein Festival Orchestra is com?prised of the world's finest young musicians.
Participation in the Schleswig-Holstein Festival Orchestra provides an extraordinary opportunity for these students to grow musically. Stipends covering travel, room, and board as well as tu?ition expenses are granted to all participants by the Foundation of the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival. While in residence at the Festival, expe?rienced teachers from the Berlin Philharmonic, Munich Philharmonic, and the NDR Symphony Orchestra guide sectional rehearsals. Famous conductors lead two intensive rehearsals per day with the entire orchestra. Under the guidance of these mentors, the orchestra has the opportunity
to read, study, and perform the greatest orches?tral music. Chamber music is also an important component, and lectures, seminars, and an ex?hibition related to chamber music round off the summer program.
The official home of the Orchestral Academy is the Salzau Castle, the state cultural center located 100 kilometers north of Hamburg. This 19th-cen?tury building, surrounded by an expansive park in Schleswig-Holstein's most beautiful region, offers ideal conditions for intensive work and diverse recreational activities. Musicians are housed in the castle and rehearse and perform in a large barn, refitted as a concert hall. At Salzau, young people from around the world not only grow together as an orchestra, but also form a social community. Mutual understanding, respect, tolerance, and an awareness of the universality of music and life be?yond it are the values that lie at the heart of the Orchestral Academy.
Lang Lang has played sold-out concerts in every major city in the world, appeared in Time magazine's 2009 list of the "100 Most Influential People in the World," inspired 35 mil?lion Chinese children to learn classical piano, and is one of the 250 Young Global Leaders picked by the World Economic Forum. Five billion people viewed his performance at the 2008 Beijing Olym?pics. In 2008, he launched the Lang Lang Inter?national Music Foundation to inspire and support the next generation of musicians. He is the first ambassador of the YouTube Symphony Orchestra, and in 2008, his biography, Journey of a Thou?sand Miles, was released to critical acclaim, with a version for younger readers entitled Playing with Flying Keys.
By the age of five, Lang Lang had won the Shenyang Piano Competition and had given his first public recital. Entering Beijing's Central Music Conservatory at age nine, he won first prize at the Tchaikovsky International Young Musicians Com?petition. Stardom came at age 17, when he was called upon for a dramatic last-minute substitution at the "Gala of the Century," playing the Tchaik?ovsky concerto with the Chicago Symphony.
Lang Lang is the featured soloist on Alexandre Desplat's Golden Globe-winning score The Paint?ed Veil, and perfornns on Tan Dun's soundtrack for The Banquet. All of his albums have entered the
Lang Lang
top classical charts and many pop charts around the globe. His first and fourth Beethoven piano concertos with L'Orchestre de Paris and Christoph Eschenbach debuted at number one on the clas?sical Billboard chart, and he has appeared on Bill?board's New Artist chart at the highest position ever for a classical artist. In 2007, he was nominat?ed for a Grammy Award--the first Chinese artist to be nominated for "Best Instrumental Soloist." His latest recording is of Chopin's first and second piano concertos with Zubin Mehta conducting the Vienna Philharmonic.

21st-century Dizzy
Grammy Award-nominated Panamanian jazz pianist Danilo Perez has joined togeth?er some of the brightest lights of the cur?rent modern jazz scene to pay tribute to the jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie. This inspiring jazz collective will perform new arrangements of classic Gillespie works, in addition to original group compositions. As the youngest member of the last edition of Dizzy Gillespie's United Nation Orchestra, Mr. Perez learned first-hand how Gillespie embraced musical and personal collaborations throughout the world. Dizzy's bands were a constant melting pot of styles, genres, and pan-global collabora?tions. Mr. Perez's hand-picked all-stars, with roots in Afro-Cuban, be-bop, Indian, African, and Mid?dle Eastern music, will more than honor Dizzy's legendary vision.
Panamanian pianist and composer Danilo Perez has led his own groups since the early 1990s, and as bandleader has earned three Grammy nominations. In just over a decade, his distinctive blend of Pan-American jazz, covering the music of the Americas, folkloric, and world music, has attracted critical acclaim and loyal audiences. Whether leading his own ensembles or touring with renowned jazz masters such as Wayne Shorter and Roy Haynes, Mr. Perez is mak?ing a decidedly fresh imprint on contemporary music. Born in Panama in 1965, Mr. Perez started his musical studies at just three years of age with his father, a bandleader and singer. By age 10, he was studying the European classical piano reper?toire at the National Conservatory in Panama. Af?ter receiving his Bachelor's degree in Electronics, he moved to the US to enroll at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and, after changing his major to music, transferred to the prestigious Berklee Col?lege of Music. Since the late 1980s, he has toured andor recorded with Wayne Shorter, Steve Lacy, Jack DeJohnette, Charlie Haden, Michael Brecker, and Joe Lovano. Currently, Mr. Perez serves as the Ambassador of Goodwill for UNICEF, Cultural Am?bassador of his native country of Panama, Presi?dent and Founder of the Panama Jazz Festival, Artistic Advisor of the innovative Mellon Jazz Up Close Series at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, and is the newly appointed Artistic Director of
the Berklee Global Jazz Institute (BGJI), a unique center at the Berklee College of Music designed to foster creativity and musicianship through vari?ous musical disciplines. Mr. Perez's latest release is Across the Crystal See (Decca).
Born in New York City in 1970, Adam Cruz is a drummer and composer best known for his work with Danilo Perez, Steve Wilson, David Sanchez, and Edward Simon. Throughout the 1990s, Mr. Cruz worked extensively with saxophonist David Sanchez and the Mingus Big Band. He toured briefly with Chick Corea, recording Origin--A Week at the Blue Note (Stretch), and spent the end of the decade touring in a duo setting with guitarist Charlie Hunter. In recent years, Mr. Cruz has forged a steady musical relationship with pianist Danilo Perez as a member of the Danilo Perez Trio, which also features bassist Ben Street. His teachers have included his father (percussion?ist Ray Cruz), Frank Malabe, Keith Copeland, and Kenny Washington. Mr. Cruz has also worked at various times with artists such as Tom Harrell, Chris Potter, Pharaoh Sanders, and Paquito D'Rivera. He is featured on over 40 recordings as a sideman, the latest being David Sanchez's Cultural Survival (Concord) in 2008.
Winner of the 2001 Carmine Caruso International Jazz Trumpet competition, Iraqi-American trum?peter Amir ElSaffar put his New York career on hold in 2002 to immerse himself in the music of his father's ancestral past, the Iraqi maqam. Trav?eling throughout the Middle East and Europe to study with masters of the centuries-old oral tra?ditional form, Mr. ElSaffar mastered maqam and learned to sing and play the santoor (Iraqi ham?mered dulcimer). Mr. ElSaffar now leads his own own group, Safaafir, the only American group performing Iraqi maqam. He has created new techniques that enable microtones and ornaments not typically heard from the trumpet but which are characteristic of Arabic music. Mr. ElSaffar has collaborated with an array of artists, includ?ing Rudresh Mahanthappa, Vijay Iyer, Cecil Taylor, and Daniel Barenboim, and was commissioned to compose Two Rivers, a suite that invokes Iraqi mu?sical traditions framed in a modern jazz setting. The recorded version of Two Rivers (Pi Recordings) was released in 2007, and was performed with a
17-piece ensemble at the 2008 Made In Chicago Festival and at New York's Lincoln Center Out of Doors Festival in 2009. Mr. ElSaffar has also com?posed for theater projects and film soundtracks, and appeared in Jonathan Demme's film Rachel Getting Married.
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, world music and jazz percussionist Jamey Haddad specializes in hand drums of a wide variety. At the age of four, he started playing Lebanese percussion instruments, including the goblet drum. Mr. Haddad studied at Boston's Berklee School of Music, where he now serves as an associate professor. He also has taught at the New England Conservatory, Oberlin Conser?vatory, and the Cleveland Institute of Music. Recent tours include the Paul Winter consort tour of Japan and the Fez Festival of World Sacred Music. Mr. Haddad has collaborated with a host of renowned musicians, including Yo-Yo Ma, Joe Lovano, Esper-anza Spalding, Dave Liebman, and Dawn Upshaw, and has been a member of Paul Simon's band for nine years. He is the recipient of three National En?dowments for the Arts Performance Grants and a Fulbright Fellowship, which provided for his study of the kanjira and other drums in South India for one year. Mr. Haddad can be heard as a sideman on more than 170 different recordings.
Saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa has
achieved international recognition performing regularly at jazz festivals and clubs worldwide. As a composer, he has received commission grants from the Rockefeller Foundation MAP Fund, American Composers Forum, Chamber Music America, and the New York State Council on the Arts to develop new work. Mr. Mahanthappa is also a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellow. He holds a BM in Jazz Performance from Berklee College of Music and a MM in Jazz Composition from Chicago's De-Paul University. Mr. Mahanthappa is a Guggenheim fellow and a 2009 Downbeat International Critics Poll Winner ("Rising Star--Jazz Artist" and "Rising Star--Alto Saxophone"). He has managed to incor?porate the culture of his Indian ancestry and fuse myriad musical influences to create a truly ground?breaking artistic vision. As a performer, he leads or co-leads seven different groups. His release, Kins?men (Pi Recordings), was named one of the Top Jazz CDs of 2008 by various publications. Mr. Ma?hanthappa currently lives in New York and teaches at the New School University.
Born in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, David Sanchez began playing percussion and drums at age eight before migrating to tenor saxophone four years later. While a student in San Juan, he also took up soprano and alto saxophones as well as flute and clarinet. In 1986 Mr. Sanchez enrolled at the Universidad de Puerto Rico in Rio Piedras, but the pull of New York was irresistible. By 1988 he had auditioned for and won a music scholarship at Rutgers University in New Jersey. Being so close to New York City, Mr. Sanchez quickly became a member of its swirling jazz scene. Some of his first New York gigs were with piano giant Ed?die Palmieri, Hilton Ruiz, and trumpeter Claudio Roditi, who brought Mr. Sanchez to the attention of Jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie. In 1991, Gillespie invited the young saxophonist to join his "Live the Future" tour with Miriam Makeba. Mr. Sanchez has also performed and recorded with Kenny Bar-ron, Roy Haynes, Charlie Haden, Tom Harrell, and had the opportunity to perform with the legend?ary drummer Elvin Jones. Whether with Gillespie, Palmieri, Haden, his other jazz mentors, or under his own name, Mr. Sanchez has continued to tour extensively, bringing his mix of mainstream jazz with Afro-Latin influences to audiences around the globe. Additionally, Mr. Sanchez's passion for teaching has led him to conduct clinics with stu?dents around the world. He has been nominated for four Grammy Awards, and his album Coral won the Latin Grammy for "Best Instrumental Album" in 2005. Mr. Sanchez's latest release Cul?tural Survival (Concord) was released in 2008.
New York City-based jazz bassist Ben Street studied at the New Cngland Conservatory of Mu?sic in Boston with former Weather Report bassist Miroslav Vitous. Mr. Street moved to New York City in 1991, and has performed and toured with Danilo Perez, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Roswell Rudd, Paul Motian, Lee Konitz, David Sanchez, James Moody, Sam Rivers, Jimmy Scott, the Frank Car-Iberg Quintet, and Once Blue. Mr. Street's work in avant garde and free jazz during the 1990s in?cluded performing and recording with Tim Berne, and in a variety of lineups with drummer Kenny Wolleson. He is featured on many recordings, including Kurt Rosenwinkel's Next Step, Sam Riv?er's Violet Violets, Danilo Perez's Til Then, David Sanchez's Coral, and Cyndi Lauper's At Last. Mr. Street is the son of saxophonist and mouthpiece maker Bill Street.

UMS EDUCATION AND AUDIENCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS
0910 Season: Breaking Down Walls
www.ums.orgeducation
UMS's Education Program deepens the relation?ship between audiences and art, while efforts in Audience Development raise awareness of the positive impact the performing arts and educa?tion can have on the quality of life in our com?munity. The program creates and presents the highest quality arts education and community engagement experiences to a broad spectrum of constituencies, proceeding in the spirit of part?nership and collaboration.
Both literally and figuratively, the 0910 UMS Education season celebrates the breaking down of walls: literally in the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and events surrounding the presentation of the Berlin Philharmonic; and figuratively, in the attempt to break down walls that impede personal and intellectual growth, participation in the arts, and connections to community. Each event chal?lenges participants to expand the way they think about art, culture, and creativity, and encourages a greater investment in UMS and the arts as a whole.
In this time of economic challenge, the UMS 0910 education programs "go deeper" with projects that encourage sustained engagement over time, allow a variety of entry points for a wide range of interests and audiences, and explore the diversity of artists, art forms, ideas, and cultures featured in the current UMS season.
