A message from Santos

It gives me great pleasure to congratulate the

Adelaide Symphony Orchestra on an inspiring

2012 season.

As an energy pioneer that has been powering

South Australia with natural gas for more

than 40 years, Santos is very pleased to support

an organisation that brings its own brand

of energy to this state.

Our principal partnership with the ASO – now in

its fourteenth year – is a significant part of our

widespread contribution to the South Australian

community.

We are proud to support the ASO because it is

an internationally-renowned orchestra that truly

enriches the community through the talent,

innovation and energy its musicians bring to

every performance.

I am looking forward to the 2012 season, and

hope to see you at Elder Park in February for

the Santos Symphony Under the Stars.

What's new for 2012

We invite you to be inspired by what

you see on the following pages! The

team, led by Chief Conductor and

Music Director Arvo Volmer, has

put together a season of adventures,

inspired by not only the playing

of the Orchestra as a whole, but

by the individuals that contribute

their talents and passion to bring

you the finest music that South

Australia has to offer. Some of

our musicians are profiled in this

brochure, but each and every one of

the 75 full time players provided the

inspiration for the season we offer

you in 2012.

Our Master Series of 12 concerts

in the Adelaide Town Hall is

preluded by an Opening Season

Concert, which includes Berlioz’

Symphonie Fantastique, conducted

by Arvo Volmer and featuring our

concertmaster Natsuko Yoshimoto

as soloist. It will be an event not to

be missed and will set the scene

for the stunning array of concerts,

guest artists and inspirational

moments that will follow

throughout the Master Series.

Much has been made of the

complete Mahler Symphony Cycle

that the Orchestra has been

performing over a number of years,

with Arvo at the helm. In 2012, we

bring you Das Lied von der Erde and

Symphony No 7.

New events on our calendar

include two concerts at St Peter’s

Cathedral in North Adelaide:

Górecki's Symphony No 3 with

Greta Bradman, and Tavener’s

The Protecting Veil. You will be

inspired by the fine string playing

in both of these works, in the

intimate setting of the Cathedral.

We do not try to be all things to

all people, but respond to the

requests for the excellent Adelaide

Symphony Orchestra to entertain in

a variety of programs, for differing

and wide ranging audiences. We

are delighted to present Sir Michael

Parkinson, The King’s Singers, and

Beatles-inspired concerts, and two

audio-visual spectaculars, The Lord

of the Rings: The Fellowship of the

Ring and Distant Worlds: Music from

Final Fantasy, to not only regular

attenders, but to people who might

be attending for the very first time.

To you we say “Welcome – come

and enjoy!” And there’s even

more inspired enjoyment in our

Last Night of the Proms (with an

Aussie flavour), and a concert to

commemorate the sinking of the

Titanic 100 years ago.

Learning at the ASO continues

to be a focus as we look to inspire

young and not-so-young through

programs that introduce fine music

in a meaningful way. The brochure

includes just some of the many

activities we have planned for the

year, and will be updated by notices

on our website and in the ASO's

Learning brochure.

We acknowledge our partners

that assist us with funding and

sponsorship, and whose people

inspire us through our everyday

interactions. They remind us that

we are part of a larger community,

all working to improve enjoyment in

South Australians' lives. We thank

Principal Partner Santos, Arts SA

and the Australia Council.

Partnerships and collaborations

continue to be important to the ASO

and we take pride that our excellent

musicians underpin much of what

goes on in the cultural community:

State Opera of South Australia;

Adelaide Festival; The Australian

Ballet; and our newly collaborative

recitals with Recitals Australia

and the International Piano Series.

We are particularly excited about

the Tan Dun Martial Arts Trilogy

Australian Premiere and Exclusive

that we are co-producing with the

Adelaide Festival Centre as part of

the OzAsia Festival.

But the real inspiration for 2012

are our musicians. This group of 75

highly talented players who work

together harmoniously to bring you

exceptional concerts each and every

time. They inspire us every day. We

hope you will enjoy their stories,

hear their music, and Be Inspired …

artistic inspiration

I am delighted to present the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra’s 2012 season to you. It is a season inspired by great music,

fine artists, and, of course, our city’s wonderful Orchestra.

Woven through our Master Series concerts is a complete cycle of Tchaikovsky’s concertos, some glorious orchestral

music inspired by heroes – and even anti-heroes – and several premieres of new music. A highlight is an opportunity

to catch the Australian premiere of one of our country’s leading composers, Brett Dean, as he conducts his major new

orchestral work – Fire Music.

But for me, it is the ASO which provides so much inspiration. It is through their fine playing and their keen attention

to detail that they become the magnificent instrument through which I am able to bring to life the works of the

greatest composers, including, of course, the music of Gustav Mahler.

Over the years, I have been asked “why Mahler?” To understand ‘why Mahler?’ I quote the composer in

conversation with another great composer, Jean Sibelius: “the symphony must be like the world, it must

contain everything”. I believe Mahler deals with the problems of our modern world; he asks the questions and,

provides many answers.

As a musician, Mahler intrigues me. He writes symphonies which contain an unprecedented combination of simple

clarity and awesome complexity. Mahler’s art is like a huge naive fresco which contains thousands of characters

and tiny details, yet, stand back and look - it tells a single story. There are no limits to the endless possibilities of

interpreting this music and one must find his or her own key to its secrets. For me, it is the universal and spiritual

experience that is important – something that you, our expectant listener, will enjoy and cherish.

As Chief Conductor and Music Director, to perform all the Mahler symphonies with the ASO is a great adventure, a

voyage of discovery. In 2012 I hope that you will join us on our journey for two special performances of two late Mahler

symphonies: the composer’s poignant farewell, Das Lied von der Erde and the beautiful, ghostly epic Seventh Symphony.

Enjoy the ASO’s 2012 season and I look forward to welcoming you to our concerts.

Stellar soloists, mezzo Katarina Karnéus and tenor Stuart

Skelton, join the ASO in one of Gustav Mahler’s most

personal of works – his valedictory and heart wrenching

song-symphony – Das Lied von der Erde. By way of contrast,

the concert opens with Schubert’s sunny, good-humoured

Fifth Symphony.

Natsuko Yoshimoto, Concertmaster

Natsuko began her journey towards

becoming the ASO’s Concertmaster at the

Yehudi Menuhin School when she was 11.

She went on to further studies at the Curtis

Institute of Music in Philadelphia and the Royal

Northern College of Music in Manchester. She

arrived in Australia in 2001 and has performed

extensively with orchestras and chamber

groups both locally and nationally.

Gemma Phillips, Cello & Emma Perkins, Violin

Emma and Gemma have shared many memories over the

years. Best friends since high school, they went on to study

in Adelaide and were part of the AYO before performing with

the ASO close to a decade ago. Amongst some of their best

memories include backpacking around Europe together and

Emma’s wedding, where Gemma was maid of honour.

Emma & Gemma’s inspirational moment

We both admired players in the ASO when we were younger

and thought how great it would be to be part of that one day.

For both of us, our passion for music has evolved – we couldn’t

imagine doing anything else.

It was music itself that first brought husband

were working in Portugal when they met and

later moved to Adelaide where they gained

permanent positions in the ASO in 1990.

Shirin's inspirational moment

The connection you form with the audience

There is more to being in the Orchestra than

Lachlan Bramble, Associate Principal Second Violin & Ewen Bramble, Associate Principal Cello

Second generation ASO musicians, Lachlan and Ewen are brothers whose parents met in the ASO, so you could

say that the ASO was in their genes! As early as 10 years of age they were performing chamber music together

with their family.

Lachlan's inspirational moment

I remember seeing Joshua Bell, I think it was, in concert when I was 12 and thought he sounded like an orchestra

all on his own, with rich, full, vivid sound. I was in awe of how many different sounds a violin could make.

Ewen's inspirational moment

I was inspired to be a musician when I saw the cellist Li-Wei in a dress rehearsal with the MSO when I was seven.

He made such an impression on me.

Music by Howard Shore

Experience the full motion picture fi lm like never

before, with a full-sized symphony orchestra.

Composer Howard Shore brings JRR Tolkien’s literary

imagination to vivid life with his Academy®

– and Grammy® Award-winning score to The Lord of the

Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Shore’s music expresses

Peter Jackson’s fi lm as an immense symphonic

work—a uniquely developed vision drawn from

centuries of stylistic tendencies.

The music of The Lord of the Rings is counted among

fi lm music’s most complex and comprehensive works.

This unique performance sets the score to the fi lm, but

allows the music to bear the narrative weight, creating

a wholly new and dramatic live concert experience.

Sponsored by:

Saturday 3 November 8pm

Adelaide Entertainment Centre Arena

in Concert

Shore’s score not only captures Fellowship’s sweeping

emotion, thrilling vistas and grand journeys, but also

echoes the very construction of Tolkien’s Middle-

Earth. Styles, instruments and performers collected

from around the world provide each of Tolkien’s

cultures with a unique musical imprint. In operatic

fashion, these musical worlds commingle, sometimes

combining forces for a culminated power, other times

violently clashing…and always bending to the will of

the One Ring and its own ominous family of themes.

Says Howard Shore, ‘My fi rst score for The Lord of

the Rings Trilogy, The Fellowship of the Ring, was the

beginning of my journey into the world of Tolkien

and I will always hold a special fondness for the

music and the experience.’

My musical inspiration came from my parents. My mother

was a classical and jazz violinist who was an inaugural

member of the QSO, and my father was a big vaudeville

star in Queensland. They both entertained the troops

in World War II. You can’t get more inspirational or

aspirational than that.

Titanic, the ASO will relive the

sounds and emotions of the fated

ship’s tragic voyage.

Through narrative and music by

Edward Elgar, Benjamin Britten

and Franz Lehár, this special

concert experience explores the

gaiety of the rich, the heroism, the

trauma of the loss of life, and the

power and calm of the sea.

COME DRESSED UP!

Prizes for the best dressed

Titanic passenger.

Carolyn Mooz, Viola & Juris Ezergailis, Principal Viola

Juris joined the Orchestra in 1975 and Carolyn,

originally from America, moved here from

Switzerland in 1998 after winning the audition

for the ASO in London.

Now, husband and wife, both started as violin

players but later turned to the viola, which

Carolyn says, was love at first stroke!

As a young student Juris was always exposed

to great live music and Carolyn was so taken

by a performance by the San Francisco

Symphony she just knew she had to be

a musician.

Their most inspirational moment

When the Orchestra was ushered onto the

stage at the Festival Theatre after hours in the

pit performing our first Ring cycle. The curtain

rose to reveal the sold-out auditorium all on

their feet, cheering the blood, sweat and tears

of the past month's and indeed the past week's

performances.

Ian Denbigh, Trombone & Sarah Denbigh, Cello

Although Ian and Sarah attended National Music Camp together as students, they didn’t know it until much later

when they met, and later married, playing with the ASO.

Ian and Sarah followed quite different paths into music. Sarah followed the progression from State Music Camps

to AYO and Ian started his music career in brass bands.

Both really enjoy contemporary works and new collaborations with the opera. Sarah jokes that she has the more

difficult role - there are a lot more notes to learn as a string player – but the brass gets to stand first for the applause!

Sarah’s most inspirational moment

After seeing the top orchestra play Dvo ák’s New World Symphony at State music camp I thought, wow, I wonder will

I ever be good enough to play at that level.

Ian’s most inspirational moment

I really liked the music that introduced ABC FM simulcasts in the 1980’s. It was the Rondo from Mahler’s Symphony

No 7 in 1984. I was then fortunate enough to hear this piece conducted by Lorin Maazel with the Vienna Philharmonic

in the Musikverein. I am very excited to finally have a chance to play this great work in 2012.

Chris Handley, Cello & Sherrilyn Handley, Cello

Chris and Sherri, as husband and wife, share a passion for music and have

both always played the cello. Both heard, early in their career, the great

Mstislav Rostropovich, whose incredible energy and sublime tone qualities

have inspired probably every cellist. And Chris recalls an instant connection

with the instrument’s beautiful sound.

Chris’ inspirational moment

Orchestral music has by far the largest and widest range of magical moments,

and playing in a great orchestra like the ASO, surrounded by superb

musicians, is the best way to experience many of them. Inspiration can come

from a fleeting moment in an opera or from a long movement in a Mahler

Symphony. There are too many to name.

Sherri’s inspirational moment

I think really the one moment which made me decide to be a cellist was

when I heard a recording of Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No 1 played by

Rostropovich in a school music class in year 10. I just knew that I had to play

it and no matter how many hours of practise it took, that was what I wanted

to do.

Supporting your ASOGreat cities have great orchestras

and, being no exception, the Adelaide

Symphony Orchestra is acclaimed

nationally and internationally for its

quality performances and outstanding

recordings. To continue its high standard

of concerts and diversity of repertoire the

ASO needs your help.

Each year, we rely upon the difference

that you, as a private individual, can

make to ensure that we can continue to

deliver performances that inspire, thrill

and engage, in a variety of genres to suit

the various appetites of our concertgoers.

We, in turn, are inspired by the feedback

we receive from the South Australian

community – the people in hospital,

the children in schools, the first-time

concertgoer, and our loyal subscribers.

Your donation helps us to not only

present concerts in the Adelaide Town

Hall and Festival Theatre, but to go

into schools, libraries, the Mary Potter

Hospice, and the Royal Adelaide Hospital.

We are currently striving to build one of

the strongest, most innovative learning

and outreach projects in Australia

which aims to reach people of all ages

through creative programming and new

technologies. Your generosity is much-

needed to help the ASO continue to

provide and develop great free and low

cost programs which engage our young

audience and, most importantly, help us

to build new audiences of the future.

There are many ways to donate to the

ASO and specific programs to donate

to. For example, you could make an

annual donation or a long term pledge

commitment; give a significant gift, or

a bequest to secure the ASO’s future.

Our new program, Musical Chairs,

allows you to sponsor a musician and

get to learn more about what inspires

them. Opportunities range from

$2,500 to $5,000.

To discuss specific donation programs,

please contact the ASO’s Director

of Development, Vicky Lekis on

(08) 8233 6260 or [email protected],

or simply donate on your booking

form in this brochure. Gifts over $2

are tax deductible, and all sums over

$250 are acknowledged in our Master

Series Concert Program books.

Jackie Hansen, Principal Contra Bassoon & Dean Newcomb, Principal Clarinet

Dean and Jackie first met in 2006 when studying together at the Australian National

Academy of Music in Melbourne. Work opportunities then took them in different

directions; Dean to Macau and Jackie to Brisbane, and by chance they won their jobs in

the same orchestra within 3 months of each other. They became permanent members

of ASO in 2009.

Jackie's inspirational moment

One of the best things about pursuing a career in music is that you never know where it

will take you. An orchestra tour to Denmark and Sweden in high school inspired me to

do this for a living.

Dean's inspirational moment

I have always been inspired by the music making in my family. My mother taught us all

from an early age and being the youngest of four, I was lucky enough to be immersed in

their passion for music, from opera and classical to jazz and improvisation.

Julie Newman, Violin & Jennifer Newman, Violin

Twins Jenny and Julie know a lot about working as a team.

Growing up, they did most things together – they were in the

same classes at school, dressed the same, joined the Army

Reserves together, attended the Eastman School of Music in

New York and Tanglewood in Massachusetts. Knowing that they

wanted to become professional musicians was also a mutual

decision and neither has looked back since, both playing with

the ASO for the last 35 years.

Julie and Jenny’s inspirational moment

It was after a great experience at a music camp when we were 14

years old that we knew music was what we wanted to do. We still

remember arriving home and telling our parents that we wanted

to play in an orchestra.

Mass by Leonard Bernstein

Friday 9 March 8pm

Festival Theatre

Kristjan Järvi Conductor Andy Packer DirectorCelebrant: Jubilant Sykes BaritoneAbsolute TrioAdelaide Festival Chorus and Children’s Choir

There’s big – and then there’s Bernstein. From West Side

Story to Candide, celebrated Broadway and classical

composer Leonard Bernstein knew how to make a big

song and dance.

Bernstein regarded Mass, a kaleidoscopic mix of music,

dance and theatre featuring a symphony orchestra, a rock

band, a choir, opera singers and even a marching band,

as his defi ning achievement.

Commissioned for the opening of the Kennedy Center

in 1970, Mass features a small village of performers and

a supremely charismatic lead in the ‘Celebrant’, performed

by the great US gospel singer Jubilant Sykes.

The spectacle of Mass is underpinned by a profound

statement of human faith that is explosive, cathartic

and ultimately uplifting.

Presented by Adelaide Festival in association with the State Opera of South Australia and the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra.
