With its rich legacy of bringing to our community the very best in the performing arts from around the world, UMS has brought great distinction to the University.

UMS EDUCA TION EXPERIENCE S.
At UMS, our mission goes beyond performance. We want you to create, to explore, and to experience extraordinary new things. That is why we offer a fascinating lineup of artist Q&As, conversations, workshops, and interactive experiences, each designed to bring you closer to performance and creation, and expand your comfort zone. If you want to experience something new, different, highly engaging, and eye-opening, we welcome you to be present.

At UMS, we believe it can. In our 136th season, we continue to showcase traditional performances alongside contemporary artists for an offering that is unlike anything available in the Midwest. UMS grew from a group of local members of the University and townspeople in the 1870s who gathered together for the study of HandelÕs Messiah. Led by Professor Henry Simmons Frieze and conducted by Professor Calvin Cady, the group assumed the name The Choral Union. Many Choral Union members were also affiliated with the University, and the University Musical Society was established soon after in December 1880.
Since that first season, UMS has expanded greatly and we now present the very best from a wide spectrum of the performing arts: internationally renowned recitalists and orchestras, dance and chamber ensembles, jazz and global music performers, and contemporary stagework and classical theater. Through educational programming, the commissioning of new works, youth programs, artist residencies, and collaborative projects, we continue to strengthen our reputation for artistic distinction and innovation.

PLEASE C ONSIDER THE F OLL O WING:
Turn off cell phones and electronic devices. We all know how terrible it is when a phone rings during a performance. It breaks that special bond between a performer and the audience. Illuminated screens on phones are also a visual distraction in a darkened theater.
Our volunteer ushers are invaluable. They will show you to your seat, give you a program, help solve any problems, answer questions, and welcome you to the experience. Please do not hesitate to ask them for help.
Wear what you want to the performance Ñ this is Ann Arbor, after all! If you feel inspired to dress in some way related to the show, go for it. Express your own creativity.
Unwrapping candies and cough drops before the performance begins cuts down on disruptive noise while the performance is in progress.
Think about whether it is necessary to wear your favorite perfume to the performance. Chances are that the folks sitting around you may appreciate an unscented experience.
The Good News: most of our performance spaces have world-class acoustics. The Bad News: that means that when you cough or sneeze you make an especially clear statement to fellow audience members and performers alike. Feel free to ask an usher for cough drops when you arrive at a UMS Choral Union Series event and please consider bringing cough drops with you to our other events. ItÕs noisy even if you cover your mouth!
Thankfully, we manage to keep last-minute changes to a minimum, but please remember that all artists and programs are subject to change at a momentÕs notice.
Programs with larger print are available. Ask an usher.
We make every effort to begin performances on time. The actual start time of a performance always reflects a combination of considerations. Late seating is not guaranteed. If you arrive after a performance has begun, we will seat you if there is an appropriate late seating break in the program. We work together with the artists to determine late seating breaks that will not disrupt their performance or the experience of the audience.

n 2014, the UMS Choral Union mourned the loss of two of its past leaders, Donald Bryant, who served as Music Director from 1969Ð1990, and Thomas
Sheets, who served in that post from 1993Ð2003. During this most-celebrated
annual tradition of Messiah, we wish to acknowledge their service to the ensemble, to UMS, and to the greater Ann Arbor community.
T
HOMAS SHEETS passed away on April 24, 2014, in Prescott, AZ, at the age of 62. He was an accomplished choral conductor, dedicated

church musician, and choir master in a number of churches, including First Baptist and First United Methodist in Ann Arbor and St. JohnÕs Episcopal in Detroit. He taught classes, coached voice and conducting, produced editions of several choral works, and nurtured many musicians. A graduate of Chapman University, Thomas Sheets earned an MM from CSU Fullerton and a DMA from University of Southern California. Before moving to Ann Arbor in 1993, he served as associate conductor for two prominent southern California choruses conducted by his mentor, the distinguished choral conductor William Hall. His tenure with these choruses prepared him well for the leadership of the 150-voice UMS Choral Union (1993Ð2003). During his tenure, he established the UMS Choral Union as the large chorus of choice for the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and expanded the choirÕs regional exposure through collaborative performances with orchestras and choruses in Toledo and Grand Rapids. He also prepared the Choral Union for numerous performances with visiting international orchestras at Hill. He conducted performances of BachÕs St. Matthew Passion and b-minor Mass, BerliozÕs Requiem, MendelssohnÕs Elijah, BrahmsÕs Ein Deutsches Requiem, and the annual performances of HandelÕs Messiah. Dr. Sheets conducted the Jackson, Michigan, Chorale (1999Ð2004) and Toledo Symphony Chorus (1995Ð98). He also instituted the annual UMS Choral Union Summer Sings in 1994, an enduring summertime tradition that just celebrated its 21st anniversary last July. After his tenure with the Choral Union, Dr. Sheets conducted the Masterworks Chorale of Belleville, IL (2007Ð08) and also served as interim conductor of the Buffalo Symphony Chorus, preparing performances of John AdamsÕs Harmonium as well as VerdiÕs Requiemfor a performance of Murry SidlinÕs concert drama Defiant Requiem: Verdi at Terezin, based on the true story of 16 performances of the Verdi Requiem, performed during World War II in the Teresienstadt concentration camp by Jewish prisoners. In August 2013, Dr. Sheets moved to Prescott, Arizona, to become choirmaster at St. LukeÕs Episcopal Church. He also became involved with the Prescott Chamber Orchestra, the Yavapai Symphony Association, and the Yavapai College Master Chorale.

Chelsea, Michigan, on April 11, the annual performances of Messiah, an Ann
2014, aged 95. Born in Chesterville, Ohio, he began taking piano lessons at age eight. By age 14, he had his own piano students

and was directing a church choir. He studied music education and composition at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio, receiving bachelorÕs degrees in both disciplines. After four years of military service during World War II, Mr. Bryant entered The Juilliard School of Music in 1946 and earned a masterÕs degree in piano performance. While at Juilliard, he also studied singing with Mack Harrell and served as HarrellÕs studio accompanist. Mr. Bryant then served for 20 years as director/pianist of the Columbus Boychoir Ñ now known as the American Boychoir, one of the major US boychoir schools Ñ which during his tenure was involved in major national and international tours and numerous landmark performances in New York, including the official opening of Lincoln Center, the American premieres of Leonard BernsteinÕs Symphony No. 3 (ÒKaddishÓ), Benjamin BrittenÕs War Requiem, and numerous concerts performed under Arturo Toscanini. In 1969, Bryant moved to Ann Arbor to become the music director of the UMS Choral Union, a post he held until 1990, and director of music at First Presbyterian Church, Ann Arbor, from which he retired in 1994. With the Choral Union and its smaller ensemble, the Festival Chorus, he prepared Arbor tradition since 1879. He also led the Festival Chorus in three international tours (Europe in 1976, Egypt in 1979, and Spain in 1980). At First Presbyterian Church, he led the Chancel Choir and the childrenÕs choirs, performed piano recitals at the church, and composed many anthems and responses for both adult and childrenÕs choirs. In addition to the anthems and responses, he composed an opera, The Tower of Babel (1976, reprised in 1988). Other musical commissions included musical settings for the poems of Hungarian poet Sandor Weores and Polish-American Nobel Laureate Cies.aw Mi.osz (1981); from UMS, a choral work, DeathÕs Echo, with poetry by W. H. Auden (1984); a three-act oratorio, Genesis, commissioned for BryantÕs retirement (1990); from U-M Museum of Art, an oratorio Esther (1993); and from John and Cheryl MacKrell, commissions for a Missa Brevis (1988) andA Requiem for Our Mothers(1999).

A2SO concerts frequently feature world-class guest soloists including AndrŽ Watts, opening this current season in Hill Auditorium. Our Symphony is most privileged to be part of a community already enriched with musical talent including concertmaster Aaron Berofsky and principal oboist Tim Michling. We are proud to play concerts in a variety of venues Ñ from area farmers markets to school classroom, and from libraries to day-care centers and senior centers.
Patrons may listen to A2SO concerts in person and by broadcast on WKAR and WRCJ radio stations.
Whether on the iPod or radio, in the concert hall or the classroom, the A2SO is passionately committed to lead and enrich the culture of the region.

ormed by a group of local university and townspeople who gathered together for the study of HandelÕs Messiah, the UMS CHORAL UNION has performed with many of the worldÕs distinguished orchestras and conductors in its 135-year history. First led by Professor Henry Simmons Frieze and conducted by Professor Calvin Cady, the group assumed the name The Choral Union. Since its first performance of HandelÕs Messiah in December 1879, the oratorio has been performed by the UMS Choral Union in Ann Arbor annually. Based in Ann Arbor under the aegis of UMS, the 200-voice Choral Union is known for its definitive performances of large-scale works for chorus and orchestra. Eighteen years ago, the UMS Choral Union further enriched that tradition when it began appearing regularly with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO).
Led by Grammy Award-winning conductor and music director Jerry Blackstone, the UMS Choral Union was a participant chorus in a rare performance and recording of William BolcomÕs Songs of Innocence and of Experience in Hill Auditorium in April 2004 under the baton of Leonard Slatkin. Naxos released a three-disc set of this recording in October 2004, featuring the UMS Choral Union and U-M School of Music, Theatre & Dance ensembles. The recording won four Grammy Awards in 2006, including ÒBest Choral PerformanceÓ and ÒBest Classical Album.Ó The recording was also selected as one of The New York TimesÒBest Classical Music CDs of 2004.Ó
The UMS Choral UnionÕs 2014Ð15
season began with a performance of
RavelÕs Daphnis et ChloŽ with the San
Francisco Symphony under the baton of
Michael Tilson Thomas this November.
The chorus will return to HillÕs stage on ValentineÕs Day for a performance of Felix MendelssohnÕs oratorio Elijah with the Ann Arbor Symphony under the direction of Jerry Blackstone. In May, the UMS Choral Union will join with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra for a concert rendition of Giacomo PucciniÕs Tosca under the direction of Leonard Slatkin at Orchestra Hall in Detroit.

NOW THAT YOUÕRE IN YOUR SEATÉ

Of the opera William Tell, many people know only the last portion of the overture, the melody popularized by the classic radio and TV series Lone Ranger. Remembering this one tune, irresistible as it certainly is, does no justice even to the overture, which has many other wonderful moments besides this theme; and even less to the grandiose four-act opera that follows. Rarely performed these days, in part because it is hard to find singers who can meet its formidable vocal demands, RossiniÕs final opera is a masterpiece of the first order, an uplifting paean to freedom and heroism, as well as a true musical feast.

Rossini and his wife, the great Spanish-born singer Isabella Colbran, moved to Paris in 1824. The Barber of Seville, Tancredi, and many other operas were already all the rage at the ThŽ‰tre-Italien; now the Paris OpŽra decided to turn Rossini into a French composer and plans were soon underway not only for a commission but for a life annuity from the French government. During the next few years, Rossini made French versions of two of his Italian operas and adapted the music of another Italian opera to a French piece with a new plot, before embarking on a work that was conceived in French from the start: Guillaume Tell.
Tell was unprecedented not only in RossiniÕs output; it was also new in the context of French opera, and served as a model for what became known as Ògrand opera.Ó The main characteristics of this genre Ñ historical subject, vast tableaux involving many extras, numerous choral scenes and, above all, an elaborate ballet
Ñ are all present in this four-act work which, if performed without cuts, runs almost four hours in performance.
The legend of William Tell first appears in a late 15th-century chronicle, but the events described there supposedly took place about a century-and-a-half earlier. True or not, the story of this fearless archer who shot an apple off his sonÕs head is known not only in TellÕs native Switzerland but well beyond. TellÕs courageous act was said to have sparked the revolt of the three original Swiss cantons (Uri, Schwyz, and Unterwalden) against the Austrian oppressors, and to have led to the creation of the Swiss Confederacy.
Among the many literary adaptations of the story, the play by Friedrich Schiller (1759Ð1805) is one of the great classics of German literature. It became, in turn, the basis for the French libretto by Etienne de Jouy that Rossini set to music (in a revised form) to create Guillaume Tell. The opera, premiered in Paris on August 3, 1829, was later translated from French into Italian, and after its first Italian performance in 1831, became known as Guglielmo Tell. Since then the work has been performed, and recorded, in both languages.
In a way, Guillaume Tell could almost be called two operas in one. The political thread includes the uprising of the Swiss cantons, the parts of Melcthal and Gualtiero (Walter FŸrst), the solemn oath that forms the magnificent finale of Act II, the apple scene, and the glorious conclusion. Yet there is a second thread, the love across the political divide between Arnoldo, the son of Melcthal, and Mathilde, a Habsburg princess. As the primo uomo and prima donna, it is Arnoldo and Mathilde who have the most demanding music; these young lovers are the only ones to sing long and virtuosic solo numbers Ñ although TellÕs moving ÒResta immobile,Ó with its memorable cello solo, is arguably the emotional high point of the opera.
Even so, it is likely that ArnoldoÕs many high ÔCÕsÕ will steal the show. In fact, the great tenor aria in Act IV had a major impact on the history of operatic singing in general. It may have been the first time that there was such a fundamental difference between the way two singers approached the same part. Contemporaries commented on the striking contrast between Adolphe Nourrit, who sang Arnoldo at the world premiere, and Gilbert Duprez, who took over the role in 1837. DuprezÕs more powerful, darker interpretation Ñ he was said to have been the first to take full chest voice to the highest register Ñ influenced a whole new style of singing. To this day, one can distinguish between the two approaches in performance Ñ one lighter, the other more heroic Ñ to one of the most challenging tenor parts ever written.
Both the political plot and the love story in Guillaume Tell unfold against the backdrop of the breathtakingly beautiful Swiss mountains. Rossini had not visited Switzerland (neither, for that matter, had Schiller), but the stage designer Pierre-Luc-Charles CicŽri insisted on taking a trip to Altdorf to study the locale. As a result, the entire production had to be postponed (further delays were caused by the pregnancy of the prima donna, Laure Cinti-Damoreau). Traces of local color appear at several points in the score, including the use, in the overture, of the ranz des vaches, a traditional melody played by Swiss shepherds on the Alphorn. (The ranz des vaches was also used by Berlioz in his Symphonie fantastique, written one year after Tell.) The a cappella chorus in Act III seems to allude to traditional music from the Alps as well; it is very unusual in classical opera to dispense with orchestral accompaniment entirely.
Rossini united all these elements
Ñ the public and the personal spheres as well as the local color Ñ in the extraordinary closing scene of the opera (an arrangement of which, for many years, was heard at the beginning and end of transmission on Italian television). At this moment, Tell is out of danger, the Swiss have liberated their country from the oppressors, and Mathilde, who has embraced the cause of the insurgents, is united with her beloved Arnold. Over the gentle chords of the harp, everyone rejoices in the beauties of nature and praises their newly-won freedom in a majestic crescendo, ending the opera in a glorious and resplendent C Major.

Guillaume Tell, which opened the chapter of French grand opŽra, also turned out to be the last stage work Rossini ever wrote. In fact, although he lived for another 38 years, Rossini never composed another opera. He did not abandon composition altogether; his Stabat Mater, Petite messe solennelle,
SYNOPSIS
and a collection of songs and piano pieces published under the title PŽchŽs de vieillesse (Sins of Old Age) are ample proof that his creative juices hadnÕt stopped flowing. Yet despite several invitations, he never returned to the theater. Exhaustion, poor health, and a lack of financial motivation (Rossini was, by this time, a very wealthy man) have all been cited as reasons for this early retirement. Yet whatever the reason or reasons, Rossini couldnÕt have ended his operatic career more gloriously: whether we call it Guillaume or Guglielmo, Tell unquestionably stands as one of this great composerÕs greatest accomplishments.
Program note by Peter Laki.
Act I
BŸrglen, Canton of Uri. The country folk are celebrating the imminent weddings of three couples. While the fisherman Ruodi sings a love song, William Tell, standing aside, ponders on the fate of his people, oppressed by the domination of Austria. When the wise old Melcthal arrives, accompanied by his son Arnold, Hedwige, the wife of William, asks him to bless the couples. They all sing together a song of joy.
William invites Melcthal into his house, mentioning his happiness as a father. Melcthal accepts the invitation, and pointing to William as a model, reproaches Arnold, who hasnÕt yet started a family. Left alone, Arnold gives vent to his desperation: he is ashamed of having once fought among the ranks of the present oppressors and he is hopelessly in love with Matilde, an Austrian princess whose life he saved in an avalanche, now a guest of the Austrian governor Gessler; he is separated from her by status and political differences. A fanfare announces the arrival of Gessler. Arnold wants to reach his train, in the hope of seeing Matilde, but he runs into William, who urges him to carry out his duty; torn between his love for Matilde and his patriotism, Arnold finally declares himself ready to join the conspirators. Hedwige again invites Melcthal to bless the three couples. Everyone wishes the newlyweds a life of serenity.
Horns in the distance signal the arrival of Gessler; Arnold leaves, followed by William. The wedding celebrations are enlivened by song and an archery contest. Many participate unsuccessfully, but Jemmy, WilliamÕs son, hits the target on his first try. Everyone hails the winner, emphasizing that, due to his ability and bravery, he is the worthy heir to William. However, it is the same Jemmy who calls attention to a man down at heel who is approaching: it is the shepherd Leuthold, running away because, in order to
ROSSINIÕS WILLIAM TELL

defend his daughter, he has killed one of GesslerÕs soldiers. Ruodi refuses to ferry him to the other shore, with the excuse that the current is too strong. William, having just returned, offers his help. As soon as they set off in the boat, the guards arrive. Rudolph, their captain, demands to know the name of the boatman, whose punishment is to be death. Melcthal entreats everyone to share the responsibility and not answer: for this reason he is arrested by the guards. The unarmed villagers, who can do nothing to help him, dream of the day when they will rise in rebellion.
Act II
On the highlands of RŸtli, as evening approaches. A group of hunters return from a hunt; a bell reminds them that it is time to go home. Once again the sound of a horn in the distance signals the oppressive presence of the governor. Matilde, in anguish, seeks comfort in the calm solitude of the forest. She knows that Arnold wants to meet her. From the moment he saved her she hasnÕt been able to forget him, and wants to confess her love. Arnold arrives. The two of them can finally express the feelings they have kept hidden until now: they confess to being attracted to each other, but recognize that many obstacles will have to be overcome before their love is realized. Matilde urges him to take up arms again and cover himself with glory on the battlefield. When William and Walter Farst arrive, Matilde leaves. William, recognizing her, accuses Arnold of conspiring with the oppressors. When Arnold protests that his meeting with her was dictated by other motives, the two men reproach him for his love for the daughter of an enemy and accuse him of being unpatriotic.
In the discussion that follows, Walter reveals to Arnold that Gessler has had his father killed. Arnold despairs, but William and Walter incite him to action: his father would have wanted vengeance, not tears, from him. Suddenly, noises are heard coming from the forest: one by one, the rebels of Unterwald, Schwitz and Uri arrive. The men of the three cantons solemnly swear to fight, and if necessary die, for the freedom of their homeland.
Act III
In the ruins of a chapel near the palace of Altdorf. Arnold tells Matilde that he doesnÕt want to fight any longer for the Austrians and intends to vindicate his father, even if this means renouncing her; he then tells her that Gessler is responsible for his fatherÕs death. The thought of having to relinquish Arnold drives Matilde to despair. The sound of the horn, once again, announces the arrival of Gessler: Matilde begs Arnold to find refuge.
In the main square of Altdorf. During the course of a celebration soldiers cheer Gessler. The population is obliged to pay its respects to the governorÕs hat, placed on top of a pole. Gessler orders that the hundredth anniversary of Austrian domination in Switzerland be celebrated with singing and dancing. The soldiers force the women to dance, while the behavior of the men reveals their indignation. A few of the soldiers, catching sight in the crowd of William and Jemmy who refuse to make obeisance, drag them before the governor. Rudolph recognizes in William the man who helped Leuthold to escape, and Gessler has him arrested.
William tells Jemmy to go to his mother so that, when she lights a flame, it will signal the revolt, but the guards prevent him from escaping. Gessler contrives a cruel punishment: William will have to shoot an apple from his sonÕs head, and if he refuses, they will both be killed. Encouraged by Jemmy, who urges him to go through with the trial, William
BE PRESENT FALL 2014

takes aim and infallibly hits the target. William faints from emotion, letting a second arrow fall. Questioned by Gessler, he confesses that he would have shot him with it had he not hit the mark. Gessler orders father and son to be executed, but Matilde, having arrived in the meantime, commands that he entrust her with Jemmy. When William is dragged away, the soldiers hail the governor, and the people curse him.
Act IV
A square in fron t of MelcthalÕs house. Arnold, embittered, dreams of vindicating his father and freeing William. When the country folk appear, determined to stage a revolt, he shows them where the arms are hidden and exhorts them to storm the governorÕs residence.
On the shores of the Lake of the Four Cantons. Matilde takes Jemmy back to his mother. Hedwige begs her to convince the governor to spare WilliamÕs life. Jemmy tells them that his father is
ARTISTS
no longer in Altdorf because Gessler is taking him away on his boat. Hedwige, observing that a storm is raging, fears that William is dead, but Leuthold brings the news that William has taken the helm and is leading them to safety.
Arriving near the shore, William leaps onto the rocks, pushing the boat adrift into the waves; he can finally embrace his wife and his son. Jemmy hands William his bow and arrow, saved from the house that was set on fire to signal the rebels that the revolt was beginning. Gessler and his soldiers, meanwhile, have reached the shore and intend to capture him, but William shoots Gessler with an arrow, singing the praises of liberty. Arnold arrives leading the rebels. The enemyÕs stronghold has fallen. The people cheer while the storm abates, the clouds disperse and the sun shines again over Switzerland, finally freed from the oppressor.

O
RCHESTRA TEATRO REGIO TORINO descends from an orchestra founded at the end of the 19th century by Arturo Toscanini, under whose direction were staged the world premieres of Manon Lescaut and La Bohme by Puccini. The Orchestra has been conducted by such internationally famous conductors as Abbado, Bychkov, Gergiev, Luisotti, Tate, and finally Gianandrea Noseda, who has been the Music Director of the Teatro Regio since 2007. The Orchestra has been invited to many foreign festivals and theaters. In the last five years, it has been guest, together with maestro Noseda, in Germany (Wiesbaden, Dresden), Spain (Madrid, Oviedo, Zaragoza), Austria (Wiener Konzerthaus), France (at ThŽ‰tre des Champs-ElysŽes in Paris), and Switzerland (Verbier Festival). In the summer of 2010 it carried out a triumphant tour in Japan and China with Traviata and Bohme, a great success that was repeated in 2013 with the recent Regio Japan Tour. The first tour in Saint Petersburg in 2014 has been followed by many others concerts in Stresa, Edinburgh, and Paris. The Orchestra of Teatro Regio Torino with the Chorus of the Teatro, all conducted by Gianandrea Noseda, have recorded two Deutsche Grammophon CDs dedicated to Verdi with Rolando Villaz—n and Anna Netrebko, one CD dedicated to Mozart with Ildebrando DÕArcangelo, and two for Chandos: Four Sacred Pieces by Verdi and Magnificat e Salmo XII by Petrassi.
T
EATRO REGIO TORINO was
inaugurated in December 1740,
with Francesco FeoÕs Arsace. An
important international opera house from
the outset, it hosted the world premieres
of PucciniÕs Manon Lescaut (1893) and La
bohme (1896), and the Italian premiere
of StraussÕs Salome, conducted by the
composer. The old theatre was destroyed
by fire in 1936; its replacement was
inaugurated in April 1973, with I Vespri
siciliani directed by Maria Callas and
Giuseppe Di Stefano. The new theatre
rapidly established a reputation as one of
the leading Italian opera houses, thanks
largely to the quality of its Orchestra and
Chorus. In 2007 Gianandrea Noseda was
appointed music director of the Teatro
Regio Torino. In addition to a full season
of staged operas, Mr. Noseda leads the
Orchestra and Chorus of the Teatro Regio
on international tours to represent Italian
music culture worldwide, undertaking
residences at the Bunka Kaikan in Tokyo
in 2010 and 2013; in Spain in 2011; at
the Dresden Music Festival, the Vienna
Konzerthaus, and the Verbier Festival
in 2013; and, each year since 2011,
at the ThŽ‰tre des Champs-ƒlysŽes,
Paris. This year the Teatro Regio Torino
makes its first tour of North America,
including performances of Guglielmo
Tell in Chicago, Ann Arbor, Toronto, and at
Carnegie Hall in New York City.

Europe. Under the direction of maestro Bruno Casoni (1994Ð2002) it reached the highest international level, as demonstrated by the performance of VerdiÕs Otello under the baton of Claudio Abbado and by the esteem of Semyon Bychkov, who, after conducting the Chorus in 2002 in the b minor Mass by Bach, invited it to Cologne to record VerdiÕs Requiem and returned in 2012 to involve it in a concert of Brahms with the Rai National Symphony Orchestra. The Chorus was later conducted by maestro Roberto Gabbiani, who fostered its artistic development even further, while in November 2010 the position was assigned to Claudio Fenoglio. Engaged in
TEATRO REGIO TORINO
the productions of the Opera Season, the Chorus also carries out important concert activity, both opera-symphonic and a cappella, and participates in numerous recordings, including the DVD production of Boris Godunov by Mussorgsky, Un ballo in maschera and Vespri siciliani by Verdi, Tha•s by Massenet, Edgar by Puccini, Medea by Cherubini, and several Chandos records with the Orchestra Teatro Regio Torino. The Chorus took part in numerous tours of the Teatro Regio all over Europe and in both Eastern tours, with different operas and opera-symphonic concerts: China and Japan in 2010, Tokyo and Verbier Festival in 2013, Saint Petersburg, Stresa, Edinburgh, and Paris in 2014.

ARTISTS

E
DGAR OLIVER is a playwright, poet, and performer. He is a mem ber of the Axis Theatre Company, which is under the direction of Randy Sharp and which is located at 1 Sheridan Square in Manhattan. His last one-man show, East 10th Street: Self-Portrait with Empty House ( produced by Axis and directed by Randy Sharp ) , was the recipient of a Fringe First award at the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Three collections of his poems are available from Oilcan Press: A Portrait of New York by a Wanderer There, Summer, and The Brooklyn Public Library (oilcanpress.com). His novel, The Man Who Loved Plants, is available from Panther Books (www.goodie.org). Mr. Oliver is one of the most beloved storytellers of The Moth.
C
ATHERINE B URNS is the
artistic director of The Moth and
a frequent host of the Peabody A ward- winning The Mo th Radio Hour. Prior to The Moth, she directed and produced independent films and television, interviewing such diverse talent as Ozzy Osbourne, Martha Stewart, and Howard Stern. An accomplished fire performer, she also directed the New York City-portion of the Burning Man FestivalÕs Fire Conclave for three years, coordinating a 70-person fire-dancing show performed in front of 50,000 people. Born and raised in Alabama, she now lives in Brooklyn with her husband and two-year-old son.
GEORGE DAWES GREEN (producer) created The Moth in 1997. He is the author of three highly acclaimed novels: The CavemanÕs Valentine, which won an Edgar award for Best First Mystery, and was made into a motion picture starring Samuel L.
Jackson; The Juror, which sold nearly three million copies worldwide and was the basis for a film starring Alec Baldwin and Demi Moore; and Ravens, which was featured on many ÒBest Novel of the YearÓ lists for 2009, including PublisherÕs Weekly, the UKÕs Daily Mirror, and Entertainment Weekly.
Recently Mr. Green started a new organization, Unchained, which sends busloads of raconteurs and musicians to venues all over the south, in celebration of independent bookstores.
Since the premiere of Helen & Edgar during October 2012, BONNIE BLUE EDWARDS (associate producer) has had the opportunity to participate in a variety of artistic projects. Soon after the production, she went on the road in the Deep South with the Unchained tour, produced The Night of the Telephone Ñ a sold-out run of avant.garde plays, and worked alongside Emmy Award-winning actors at NYCÕs historic Century Club. Ms. Edwards has also been an assistant to the director and casting coordinator on two independent feature films with Oscar-winning talent, both slated for release in 2015. Currently, she is the director/producer of the documentary Out in Alabama, about LGBT rights in her home state.
