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
LJ
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
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: Modern 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.

In Senegal, Baaba Maal came from humble beginnings, but has since learned and traveled and now speaks and sings of empowerment, enlightenment, and peace. He was born in Podor, on the banks of the river Senegal. His mother was a musician who sang and wrote her own songs, educating her son in the musical forms of the area. At the same time, Mr. Maal was listening to Black music coming out of America, including James Brown, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, and Etta James.
Mr. Maal went to school in St. Louis, the original French colonial capital and, on winning a scholarship, left for Senegal's modern capital, Dakar. On leaving college he toured West Africa, soaking up even more knowledge. Mr. Maal took up residence in Paris for several years, studying at the Conservatoire des Beaux Arts. On arrival back in Senegal, Mr. Maal formed his band Daande Lenol (Voice of the People).
Mr. Maal's mission in West Africa extends beyond his music. He is committed to the concerns of families, young people, and the future of the continent, as is reflected in his role as Youth Emissary for the United Nations' Development Program. This role strengthened his determination to work harder to contribute more to improving the living conditions of disadvantaged people of the African continent, whose future is seriously threatened by illiteracy, poverty, and HIVAIDS.
His vision to uplift the African continent has been a constant source of inspiration for Mr. Maal. In 2003 he played the Nelson Mandela 46664 Concert in Cape Town, South Africa; the next year he performed at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert for Dr. Wangari Maathai, the Kenyan environmental campaigner who won the 2004 Peace Prize. In 2007, he played at the African Union heads of state summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and later performed at the Live Earth Concert in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Other endeavors include the creation of the soundtrack for the Sony Playstation and X-Box game, Far Cry 2. Additionally, Baaba Maal collaborated with Hans Zimmer for the Oscar Award-winning Ridley Scott film, Black Hawk Down. In 2009, he headlined The African Soul Rebels tour of the United Kingdom and appeared as special guest on an edition of the esteemed Desert Island Discs on BBC Radio 4.
UMS welcomes Baaba Maal who makes his UMS debut this evening.
Ghost Rock is the new album from the Michigan-based collective NOMO. The album sheds light on the way forward for a band that has been forging its own vital sound. This is not the Afrobeat of Fela, nor the revivalist funk of a forgotten decade. This record owes as much to Can, Brian Eno, and MIA as it does Kuti, Francis Bebey, and Funkadelic.
"It is really important to participate--as an audience and as a band member--and joining the audience for a song at the beginning or end of a show invites participation," explains founding member Elliot Bergman. "On a good night, it feels like everybody is working together. Having a few great dancers in the audience can really drive the band to new levels, and we love to sing together at the end of show. It ends up solidifying the bond between the player and the listener--and it starts to dissolve the typical divisions between active and passive. It helps to make people feel that music is an event: social, spiritual, and communal rather than a commodity to be consumed."
NOMO has toured incessantly since their 2006 release, New Tones. New Tones garnered critical acclaim and appeared on Top 10 lists from NPR, Gilles Peterson, and Global Rhythm. The band has performed well over 150 live concerts, touring North America and Europe with stops at Bumbershoot, Pitchfork Music Festival, the Montreal International Jazz Festival, SXSW, and WOMEX. Able to fit anywhere, their sizable lineup hasn't kept them from sharing a stage with everyone from Earth Wind and Fire, Konono No.1, Sharon Jones, Dan Deacon, and now, the great Baaba Maal.

Les Citations,
Diptych for Oboe, Percussion, Harpsichord, and Double Bass (1991)
Henri Dutilleux
Born January 22, 1916 in Angers, Maine-et-Loire, France
Dutilleux began composing Les Citations in 1985 whilst he was composer-in-residence at the Aldeburgh Festival. In June 1990, he composed the second movement, adding a double bass to the instrumental ensemble. The opening movement contains a brief fragment from Britten's "Peter Grimes" in homage to the opera's interpreter, Peter Pears. The second movement includes a quotation from one of Dutilleux's friends and colleagues who was killed in action during World War II in June 1940, Jehan Alain. There is also another quotation from a theme and variations by Alain with a motif attributed to Janequin that had been used in one of his organ pieces. For Dutilleux, the title of the diptych, Les Citations, seemed appropriate. As a piece that is rarely performed, it was with delight to have heard, here, such a high caliber of ensemble playing and an acute sense of the piece's rhythmic design. The balance of the ensemble fully aided the vast array of events, bringing alive the rich texture of the music as well as the humorous nature of the work.

La Revue de Cuisine (1927)
Bohuslav Martinii
Born December 8, 1890 in Polica, Czechoslovakia
Died August 28, 1959 in Liestal, near Basel
Alexander Tcherepnin once remarked that his Czech contemporary Bohuslav Martinu's music was "completely free from sauerkraut," meaning it avoided German-style formalism in favor of French neo-classicism. Nowhere is Tcherepnin's gastronomic image more apt than for the music of Martinu's experimental ballet, La Revue de Cuisine, a whimsical portrayal of love and jealousy between kitchen utensils.
Despite coming to composition relatively late in his musical career, Martinu was an incredibly prolific composer. His early works date from the First World War, but he spent five years as
a second violinist with the Czech Philharmonic before settling in Paris in 1923. During the 1920s, Martinu befriended some of the leading Parisian cultural figures of the day, including Roussel, Stravinsky, and the composers of Les Six. He also began to compose more regularly, using the popular neo-classical works of his colleagues as models.
Many composers of that era looked to American jazz as the antidote to what Christopher Hogwood terms the "Teutonic oversaturation of the Twenties." Although Martinu drew on several of the same popular-music inspirations as Les Six and Stravinsky, he wasn't as convinced of jazz's relevance to European composers. He wrote in 1925, "I often think of the amazingly pregnant rhythm of our Slavonic folk songs... of their characteristic rhythmic instrumental accompaniments, and it seems to me that it is unnecessary to have recourse to the jazz band." Still, he toyed with jazz several times during his Paris years. La Revue de Cuisine, the third of his "jazz" ballets (completed in 1927), overtly embraces American jazz in its forms, melodies, harmonies, rhythms, and especially its instrumentation: an odd combination of violin, cello, clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, and piano.
With its element of fantasy and the animation of everyday objects, Jarmila Kroschlov's scenario for La Revue de Cuisine recalls Ravel's L'Enfant et les sortileges (1925), as dancers play the parts of the various kitchen utensils. In thiseccentricscenario, the marriage of Pot and Lid is threatened by the suave Stirring Stick, while Broom challenges Dishcloth to a duel. Pot and Lid are eventually reconciled, and Dishcloth elopes with Stirring Stick.
An admirer of Stravinsky's Histoire du Soldat, Martinu worked with similar economy on this score, perhaps also responding to criticisms that his earlier ballets were too ambitious. Without completely absorbing the jazz idiom as Milhaud did in La Creation du monde, Martinu uses jazz as a vehicle for satire, in the same vein as Poulenc's Les Biches or Satie's Parade, and La Revue de Cuisine went on to became his first popular success.
Both the "Prologue" and "Finale" in La Revue de Cuisine use a fanfare motive that could be a parody of Mahler's second Wayfarer song, "Ging heut' morgen iibers Feld." Martinu emphasizes the motive's jaunty, carefree qualities, spicing them with facile modulations and "wrong-note" harmony. The dark and sultry "Tango" that follows leans more toward a habanera in style. The gruffly
repeated opening cell creates a tension that rises with the addition of a muted trumpet that, though it may sound "cartoonish" to today's listeners, is testament to the immediacy of effect in Martinu's music. The same dark timbres and key of the "Tango" continue in the next movement, but soon give way to a rollicking dance that is as close an imitation of the Charleston as any European composer ever achieved. The "Finale" quotes this Charleston tune, along with other popular melodies of the day, in a medley that cleverly mimics the rhythms and improvisatory qualities of Dixieland jazz.
Program note by Luke Howard.
Facade (1922)
William Walton
Born March 29, 1902 in Oldham, Lancashire, England
Died March 8, 1983 in Ischia, Italy
While he was still at Oxford, Walton became friendly with Sacheverell Sitwell, and with the other members of his gifted, literary family, Osbert and Edith Sitwell. In 1920, Edith began to work on a group of poems she described as "technical experiments--studies in the effect that texture has on rhythm, and the effect that varying and elaborate patterns of rhymes have upon rhythm." She completed the poems the next year, and the three Sitwells, with the 18-year-old Walton, came up with the idea of putting them together as Facade, "an entertainment for reciting voice and instruments." There is much in the poems of Facade that, taken literally, makes little sense, but underneath them runs a vein of brilliant satire on the society of the time.
As time went by, Facade acquired a life and a meaning that its creators had not intended. They considered it a kind of musical abstract expressionism (to borrow a term that came into use a generation later), but it was reinterpreted as a satirical treatment of art's abstraction from society. It was intended to stimulate, perhaps even outrage, and it ended up amusing, as a kind of funny Pierrot lunaire.
As perceptions of Facade changed, in fact the work did, too, for it was subjected to several revisions during the 20 years following its creation, so we are not always certain that the work we
read about in early reports is the same one we hear now. As the years went by, almost 50 poems with music found their way into the piece. The present canon of 21 was established in the early 1940s. In the 1970s, eight others were brought back as Facade 2.
The first version was performed as home entertainment for friends at the Sitwells' on January 24, 1922. The first public performance was given on June 12, 1924, at Aeolian Hall in London. The performers were hidden by a screen on which a huge face was painted. From its mouth, Edith Sitwell read her poetry through a megaphone.
That first audience was outraged by Facade, its content, and presentation. Its aims were not understood, or if they were, they were not accepted. Listeners were shocked by the idea that words might be pronounced for sound rather than for sense. The music was not easy to apprehend then, and much less easy to comprehend. Eventually performers stressed its satiric and parodic qualities, turning into a new kind of comedy, with comic music, and the public took it to heart. Walton went along with that decision and even made little orchestral suites of the music that became the stuff of pops concerts. Performers of Facade now have the choice of playing it, as they say in the theater, straight or for laughs.
Program note by Leonard Burkat.
Sara Adlerstein (Visual Art), aquatic ecologist and visual artist, was born in Chile. She is currently a faculty member at the U-M School of Natural Resources. Her paintings have been widely exhibited in galleries and museums in Chile, North America, and Europe. Ms. Adlerstein's research focuses on Great Lakes environmental issues and her teaching is interdisciplinary, bridging arts and science. She recently collaborated with U-M faculty on Mapping the River, a multimedia performance about the cycle of water and the relationship of water and culture that was part of the 2008 Arts on Earth initiative. The body of work presented in Faqade was created as she lived in Seattle and in Hanover, Germany. Several of these images are included in the book The Mother Poems published by Eastern Washington University Press in 1996.
Jason Bergman (Trumpet), Principal Trumpet of the Saginaw Bay Symphony Orchestra and Second Trumpet with the Ann Arbor Symphony, has performed with the Canadian Brass and as a member of the Santiago Philharmonic in Chile. He also serves as Trumpet Instructor at Albion College. A prizewinner in the 2007 International Trumpet Guild Orchestral Excerpt Competition, he has also been a national finalist in the MTNA Young Artist Brass and Chamber Music Performance competitions, as well as the National Trumpet Competition. Mr. Bergman has performed as soloist with the Garland Symphony Orchestra and the Brigham Young University Philharmonic. In 2007, Mr. Bergman was a fellow at the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, CA. His principal teachers include William Campbell, David Brown, Tom Booth, and Woody Yenne. He has had additional studies with Philip Smith, Paul Merkelo, and Josef Burgstaller and holds degrees from U-M and Brigham Young University. This evening's concert marks Mr. Bergman's UMS debut.
William Campbell (Trumpet), U-M Associate Professor of Trumpet, has served on the faculties at The Ohio State University and University of Kansas. He performed for seven years as principal trumpet with L'Orchestra Maggio Musicale Fiorentino in Florence, Italy, conducted by Zubin Mehta. Mr. Campbell has performed as soloist with Maestro Mehta, toured five continents, and performed on numerous recordings. He has served as Principal Trumpet with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, and the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. Mr. Campbell has performed with conductors including George Solti, Riccardo Chailly, Charles Dutoit, Christopher Hogwood, Leonard Slatkin, and Carlo Maria Giulini.

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.
