A 21st Century SymphonyBy Nick Dobreff

When you think of symphonic music, what do you see? What do you hear? Does your mind wander to faded images of legendary composers seen in school textbooks and classrooms? Do you hear a favorite symphony or concerto, perhaps something you associate with a powerful memory or emotion? Or are you instantly transported into the concert hall, immersed in the sights and sounds of the concert going experience?

From the 18th century through the early part of the 20th, symphonic music was the predominant musical art form for much of the world, and the concert hall was the world’s conduit. Lacking the modern technology we enjoy today, someone from this period would be lucky to hear a piece more than once in their life. Imagine hearing Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony for the first time and never having the opportunity to hear it again? This scarcity generated a voracious appetite for symphonic music, propelling patrons to the concert hall in droves for generations.

After the turn of the 20th century, new forms of music began to gain in popularity, including jazz and rock and roll, and later country, hip hop, and electronica. Simultaneously, music also became more accessible to people in their homes, vehicles, and later, in their pockets. This increased volume and accessibility has created more competition than ever for the eyes and ears of music lovers everywhere.

So what is the significance of symphonic music in the 21st century, what role will it play moving forward, and how can classical symphonic music stay relevant with the challenges presented by modern society?

This is the question every orchestra around the world grapples with, and it’s one that the Colorado Symphony is at the forefront of addressing: It begins with reaching larger and more diverse audiences than ever before.

One way to accomplish this is by collaborating with musicians outside of the normal classical music sphere. The first notable instance of such a collaboration including the Colorado Symphony occurred in 1992 with a performance alongside The Moody Blues at Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre. However, such partnerships did not manifest into a targeted campaign until nearly two decades later when, in 2012, the Colorado

S O U N D I N G S 2 0 1 9/2 0 17

Symphony joined GRAMMY®-nominated Indie folk-rock group DeVotchKa for a pair of performances at Boettcher Concert Hall and Red Rocks.

For the Colorado Symphony, this collaboration was an incredible opportunity to perform with a group of local, world-class musicians while also coming face-to-face with thousands of music lovers who may never have seen a live symphonic orchestra before. And for DeVotchKa, collaborating with the Colorado Symphony added lush new layers to their songs, creating a concert experience that felt familiar and yet completely original.

“One of the great things is that we were hoping some of the people who may not normally come down to see the Colorado Symphony, if we were involved they would take a chance and come down to see it and keep coming back when they realized what a treasure we have,” said Nick Urata, lead vocalist for DeVotchKa.

Another memorable collaboration came a few years later when the Colorado Symphony and Chorus performed with The Flaming Lips — the colorful, whimsical, and boundary-pushing rockers from Oklahoma City — at Red Rocks, invigorating the band’s seminal album, The Soft Bulletin, in front of a sold-out crowd. The performance was recorded and released as an album in October 2019, following a second sold-out performance of The Soft Bulletin at Boettcher Concert Hall in February of that year.

Perhaps these collaborations seemed odd or out of place to some. A professional symphonic orchestra performing with rock artists? But any trepidation soon melted away when met with the enthusiasm and joy these concerts engender from each audience.

The overall attendance numbers since 2012 speak to a growing and diversified audience at Colorado Symphony performances. Over the last decade, the Colorado Symphony has gradually increased the size and diversity of its audience while simultaneously lowering the average age of its attendees. Since 2013, the average age of Boettcher Concert Hall patrons has decreased from 69 to 49. When you include

Red Rocks shows, best estimates would put the average age of a Colorado Symphony concertgoer into the 30’s.

“What we do at Red Rocks is we’re giving many audience members their initial exposure to what live symphonic music can be,” said Anthony Pierce, Chief Artistic Officer. “It’s a long process to get anybody to be your fan and it doesn’t happen overnight. We have to chip away at that gradually and it starts with education and outreach in our community. We have the largest and most diverse audience in our history and the numbers prove that. But our greatest challenge as an institution is ensuring there is demand for live symphonic traditional classical music in the future, and that’s what we’re committed to.”

This past summer included a number of incredible Red Rocks performances alongside some of music’s biggest names: OneRepublic, Weird Al Yankovic, and actor Jack Black’s comedy rock duo, Tenacious D. These types of performances — the outside-the-classical-music-box-type shows — are not only delivering vital revenue for this nonprofit orchestra, but also solidifying new audiences, a fundamental step in ensuring the future of symphonic music in Colorado.

Since 2012, over 20 artists of all genres have chosen the Colorado Symphony for their inaugural orchestral performance. That includes Elephant Revival, Guster, The Flaming Lips, Paper Bird, Bonobo, Lettuce, Tenacious D, The Moody Blues, Pretty Lights, Mandolin Orange, John Prine, Ingrid Michaelson, OneRepublic, Nathaniel Rateliff,


S O U N D I N G S 2 0 1 9/2 0 19

Odeza, Amos Lee, Gregory Alan Isakov, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, DeVotchKa, The Lumineers, and Sarah McLachlan. In that time, the Colorado Symphony has also performed with popular artists like Seal, Hanson, and Josh Groban.

“We’ve been working to consciously build a reputation as an orchestra where a non-symphonic artist has their great first experience with an orchestra,” Resident Conductor Christopher Dragon told the Denver Post. “When you find the right formula and connection, it just creates something uniquely beautiful. You can’t recreate that experience anywhere else.”

“I think in Colorado and across the country, we’ve made ourselves known as the orchestra that’s doing the most innovative and interesting things,” added Nick Recuber, Assistant Principal Bass for the Colorado Symphony.

When considering a collaboration, the Colorado Symphony first assesses what they can bring to the partnership. If adding orchestration doesn’t contribute significantly to the quality of the music, the collaboration isn’t pursued. There are also additional challenges, like creating the proper sound balance so that the orchestra can be heard over the raw power of a rock and roll drum kit or an electric guitar.

In today’s evolving symphonic landscape, orchestral programming requires a delicate balance between core classical masterworks and popular collaborations along with other types of programming like the increasingly popular Movie at the Symphony concerts. In order to stay relevant for generations to come, it’s become important to show younger audiences that symphonic music has always been a part of their lives, whether they’re initially aware of it or not.

“That’s the magic question that every orchestra faces,” added Pierce. “How does playing a Harry Potter or Star Wars movie keep classical music relevant? What we do with these collaborations is we’re giving younger generations their first exposure to what live symphonic music can be. Once they’ve seen us 2-3 times at Red Rocks with one of these popular artists or watched us perform the score for one of their favorite movies live, then I think they’re much more likely to come see our traditional programming in Boettcher Concert Hall. We’ve got to be doing all of these things to make sure we have a future audience.”

“There’s no question we are one of the busiest orchestras in the country right now,” said Pierce to the Denver Business Journal. “We haven’t reduced our volume of classical content or sacrificed our core mission as curators of symphonic music. We’ve



just diversified. We are still committed to our core classical content — that’s our greatest priority — but we have to do things that ensure there is a future audience for symphonic music.”

As the Colorado Symphony moves into a new decade and grapples with the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, there exists a renewed sense of mission to debunk the myth that symphonic music is only for those of a certain age, a certain demographic, or a certain socioeconomic status. Through collaborations like these and additional outreach in the community, the orchestra is being heard by more people than ever before and the future of symphonic music has never looked brighter.

“What orchestras are doing in their communities is evolving, and I believe we’re ahead of the curve,” said Pierce. “Do we think that every person who came to see Tenacious D will now come to one of our Classics concerts? I doubt it. But do they now think that the Colorado Symphony is the coolest orchestra out there? I think so. And I think they feel a new sense of ownership to the ensemble. We are creating lasting impressions that will have an impact 10, 20, and 50 years into the future.”

From the best of the past to the edge of tomorrow, your Colorado Symphony is at the forefront of a symphonic revolution, pursuing groundbreaking concepts that inspire new generations of music lovers while ensuring a bright future for live symphonic music in Colorado.

PIONEERING


Colorado Symphony Welcomes Lyle Wong as new Principal Orchestra LibrarianWong follows Joanne Goble who retired after serving in the position since 1988

In February, the Colorado Symphony welcomed Lyle Wong into the fold as the organization’s new Principal Orchestra Librarian. Lyle follows in the distinguished footsteps of Joanne Goble, who retired from the position after serving as the Colorado Symphony's Principal Orchestra Librarian since 1988.

Orchestra Librarians are responsible for the care, upkeep, distribution, and research involving all the music that’s performed. They’re responsible for making sure that music reaches the musicians in the best way possible so there’s as little barrier as possible between the musicians playing and the audience listening. They also act as historians within the

organization, keeping records of each performance including repertoire, guest artists, and conductors. And when necessary, they’re counted on to fill in as substitutes within the orchestra.

Prior to joining the Colorado Symphony, Lyle held several music librarian positions including with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Music Academy of the West, Orchestra of the Americas, Breckenridge Music Festival, and most recently at the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra as their Principal Orchestra Librarian. Lyle has a Bachelor of Music-Clarinet Performance from the University of Michigan and Artist Diploma-Clarinet Performance from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music.

Q: Tell us about your background in music.

Lyle Wong: My background in music is mainly as a clarinetist. I went to school as a clarinet performance major and was educated in a very similar way to my colleagues on stage. My original goal was to play the clarinet for a living, so I went through the audition gauntlet and won a few regional orchestra jobs that include the Delaware


S O U N D I N G S 2 0 1 9/2 0 23

Symphony, Arkansas Symphony, and Opera Cleveland Orchestras. Later, this performance and education background served as my foundation for becoming an orchestral librarian. I previously worked with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Music Academy of the West, Orchestra of the Americas, and Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. In addition to this new post with the Colorado Symphony, I also currently work with Breckenridge Music.

Q: What was your first awareness of the role of an orchestra librarian and how did you choose to pursue it as a career?

LW: When I was performing more consistently, I was rather clueless to the role of the orchestra librarian. My first real awareness occurred when I picked up summer work in the music library of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and later when I started working as Cincinnati's Assistant Librarian. The awakening occurred as I worked on recording projects with Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. I remember the moment exactly — standing in a line with my librarian colleagues, as Erich listened to music that was just recorded. He would send one of the four librarians out to mark an artistic edit in pencil (sometimes in color pencil for emphasis) and the next librarian would step up to receive the next edit instruction. It was an eye-opening process and really the behind the scenes work that made so many of the iconic Cincinnati Pops recordings.

I decided to pursue being a full-time orchestra librarian after working a number of orchestral administrative job and mainly performing with regional orchestras. I wanted something between the stage and the office; and that was the music library.

Q: What does an orchestra librarian do that an audience member or fellow musician might not see?

LW: Part of the orchestral librarian's job is to make performing music as easy as possible. I want my colleagues to have no sheet music obstacles when creating the music you hear. Meaning that even before my fellow musicians receive sheet music to practice, a many number of things need to happen to create effortless rehearsals and performances. Everything from acquiring licensing to fixing copyist errors and coordinating string bowings. And when done right, this organizational process is planned long before the season, maintained continuously, and happens to every piece of music.


Q: How does the orchestra librarian interact with publishers, composers, musicians, and conductors?

LW: The orchestral librarian interacts with these four groups in different ways, but we can divide them into two groups so I don't get deep into the weeds. Publishers/composers and musicians/conductors.

A composer/copyright holder, they are entitled to various rights and publishers manage the right to distribute their music and issues licensing. I acquire the rights for the Colorado Symphony to legally perform these works in the vision of our conductors and artistic team. This includes the rights to perform the work, rent the sheet music, broadcast and many others, depending on the situation. My interactions with our conductors and musicians are mainly in preparing the physical sheet music and scores.

Q: What attracted you to this position with the Colorado Symphony?

LW: Besides the wonderful things that the Colorado Symphony is doing, I was attracted to this organization because the position works in an administrative sense, but is considered a musician. I had to audition for my position like everyone else you see on stage. This is not the case with every orchestra and many times the librarian is just considered an administrator. I would say that there are 100-ish orchestral librarians in the United States, but only 20 to 30 with the distinction of musician.

Performing full-time never worked out for me, but I love what I do now and to still be recognized as a musician amongst my colleagues means the world to me. The next time you visit the symphony check out the administrative and orchestral rosters - besides our Maestro, I believe the librarian is the only other position listed on both rosters.

Q: What excites you most about moving to Colorado?

LW: Two things excite me the most about moving to Colorado- the proximity to my family and exploring the outdoors. I was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii and almost all of my family still resides there. I moved away for college and have since lived most of my adult life in the Midwest and Southern parts of the United States. As I get older, I would like to be closer to my family and I was recently reminded that I can


S O U N D I N G S 2 0 1 9/2 0 25

get direct flights to Honolulu. Just the fact that I don't have to take two layovers and round trips can cost less than $1,200 is a game changer!

With regards to the outdoors, I came to Colorado for the first time in 2012 as the Stage Manager for the National Repertory Orchestra (Breckenridge) and was immediately drawn to the outdoors. I had not experienced that feeling since I lived in Honolulu and started to miss it when I moved home. So I made it a priority to experience the Colorado outdoors every summer since 2012, whether that meant stopping through on road trips or making it part of my summer work, as I do now with Breckenridge Music.

Side note: Outdoor snow activities are new to me, but want to learn. And I am up to seventeen 14ers, currently making my way down the Collegiate Range and looking for others that want to climb the more difficult peaks.

QUICK FACTS:

Q: Where were you born/raised? A: Honolulu, Hawaii

Q: Where did you receive your formal education? A: Bacholor of Music in Performance at the University of Michigan and an Artist Diploma in Performance from the University of Cincinnati.

Q: Are there any special teachers who’ve helped you in your career? A: Yes! Teacher and life coach Richie Hawley- former Principal Clarinetist of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and now clarinet professor at Rice University.

Q: What are some of your hobbies? A: Hiking, recreating food from my childhood, commuting by bicycle and reading.

JESSICA RIVERA, soprano

Possessing a voice praised by the San Francisco Chronicle for its “effortless precision and tonal luster,” Grammy Award-winning soprano Jessica Rivera is one of the most creatively inspired vocal artists before the public today. The intelligence, dimension, and spirituality with which she infuses her performances on great international concert and opera stages has garnered Ms. Rivera unique artistic collaborations with many of today’s most celebrated composers, including John Adams, Osvaldo Golijov, Gabriela Lena Frank, Jonathan Leshnoff, and Nico Muhly, and has brought her together with such esteemed conductors as Sir Simon Rattle,

Esa-Pekka Salonen, Robert Spano, Bernard Haitink, and Michael Tilson Thomas. Ms. Rivera has long championed contemporary vocal music, and this season she appears at the Ford Theater in association with LA Opera to reprise her performance of Paola Prestini’s multidisciplinary The Hubble Cantata, which she premiered at the BRIC Festival in Brooklyn in August 2016. In 2017, Ms. Rivera gave the world premiere of Gabriela Lena Frank’s Requiem with the Houston Symphony and Chorus, conducted by Andrés Orozco-Estrada. The artist also performed John Harbison’s Requiem with the Nashville Symphony and Chorus under Giancarlo Guerrero, which was recorded for future release on the Naxos label. Ms. Rivera treasures a long-standing collaboration spanning over a decade with Robert Spano and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra; she joined Spano on Christopher Theofanidis’s Creation/Creator in Atlanta and at the Kennedy Center’s 2017 SHIFT Festival of American Orchestras, where she also performed Robert Spano’s Hölderlin Lieder, a song cycle written specifically for her and recorded on the ASO Media label.

CLASSICS PROGRAM NOTES

FRANCIS POULENC (1899-1963): Gloria for Soprano, Chorus and OrchestraFrancis Poulenc was born on January 7, 1899 in Paris and died there on January 30, 1963. He composed Gloria in 1959. It was premiered by the Boston Symphony Orchestra on January 20, 1961 in Boston under the direction of Charles Munch. The score calls for piccolo, two flutes, two oboes, English horn, two clarinets, bass clarinet, two bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, harp and strings. Duration is about 28 minutes. The piece was last performed on October 29-31, 1999, with Duain Wolfe leading the orchestra and chorus.

Poulenc was raised in a home that valued religion deeply. His father was committed to his Catholicism, but, the composer added, “in a very liberal way, without the slightest meanness.” When Francis left home for military service in 1918 and later jumped into the heady life of artistic Paris, however, his interest in religion declined. “From 1920 to 1935, I was very little concerned with the faith,” he admitted. In 1936, though, he underwent a rejuvenation of his religious belief when his colleague Pierre-Octave Ferroud was killed in an automobile accident. Deeply shaken, he wrote, “The atrocious extinction of this musician so full of vigor left me stupefied. Pondering on the fragility of our human frame, the life of the spirit attracted me anew.” He rejoined the Church and thereafter expressed his faith frequently and unashamedly. “I am religious by deepest instinct and heredity,” he said. “I feel myself incapable of ardent political conviction, but for me it seems quite natural to believe and practice religion. I am a Catholic. It is my greatest freedom.” During the last three decades of his life, a series of wonderful musical works on religious themes, including the Mass, the Stabat Mater, the Gloria and The Dialogues of the Carmelites, sprang from his ardently renewed vision.

Poulenc’s faith, like the music it engendered, was simple, direct, optimistic and joyous. He once told friends, “I have the faith of a country pastor,” and he always preferred quiet meditation or prayer in a rural church to the structured services of the urban cathedral. It was through his music that he shared his devotion. “I want the religious spirit to be expressed clearly, out in the open, with the same realism that we see in Romanesque columns,” he said. “I try to create a feeling of fervor and, especially, of humility, for me the most beautiful quality of prayer.... My conception of religious music is essentially direct, and, I dare say, intimate.” When an interviewer once commented on the high quality of his choral and sacred works, he replied, “I think I’ve put the best and most genuine part of me into them.... If people are still interested in my music fifty years from now it’ll be more in the Stabat Mater than in the Mouvements perpétuels.”

During his last years, Poulenc became increasingly fatalistic and, consequently, turned more to the Church. Throughout his life, he was subject to attacks of acute depression, and the one he suffered while working on The Dialogues of the Carmelites during the mid-1950s resulted in a nervous breakdown. He largely recovered, but he thereafter viewed his existence as fragile. “What shall I write next? Undoubtedly nothing else,” he lamented to his biographer Henri Hell in 1961. A year later, however, he wrote to the singer Pierre Bernac, “I now feel completely, happily free, and I can await Providence.” The Gloria of 1959 naturally reflects some of Poulenc’s deeper thoughts, but it also shows the buoyant, confident feelings inherent in his faith and his music. It is a wholly appropriate piece for a man who was once described as “half monk, half bounder.”

In the Gloria, written on commission from the Koussevitzky Music Foundation and dedicated to the memory of Serge and Natalie Koussevitzky, Poulenc said that he “tried to write a joyous hymn to the glory of God.” His text, taken from the second section of the Mass Ordinary,


CLASSICS PROGRAM NOTES

is the set of traditional songs dating from the fifth century sung by the angels on the night of the Nativity in praise of the Christ child. Before beginning composition, Poulenc immersed himself in the ancient words, reciting them over and over to himself, listening, noting breathing places, marking stresses, looking for inner rhythms of the syllables and deeper meanings of the ideas. The Gloria, like all great vocal music, grew from the sense and sounds of its text — the words, after all, were there before the music. Poulenc reinterpreted those venerable words and heightened their message by wrapping them in music that again demonstrated his remarkable lyrical gift, which has often been compared to that of Schubert, a composer he greatly admired. Wrote Roger Nichols, “For Poulenc the most important element of all was melody and he found his way to a vast treasury of undiscovered tunes within an area that had, according to the most up-to-date musical maps, been surveyed, worked and exhausted.”

The Gloria opens with a brilliant fanfare for full orchestra as preparation for the entry of the voices. The sentiment of the movement is one of joy tinged with a soupçon of nostalgia, one of Poulenc’s most characteristic moods. Of the lighthearted Laudamus te, Poulenc recalled, “The second movement caused a scandal; I wonder why? I was simply thinking, in writing it, of the Gozzoli frescoes in which the angels stick out their tongues; I was thinking also of the serious Benedictines whom I saw playing soccer one day.” This robust movement also serves to set in relief the following Domine Deus, music of profound awe and intense emotion. The bright wit and chuckling insouciance of the Laudamus te return in the fourth movement, Domine fili unigenite, which, like the earlier movement, is followed by music of a serious and moving nature — the Domine Deus, Agnus Dei. The final movement, Qui sedes ad dexteram Patris, is divided into three sections, each based on the same text. The movement opens with jubilant choral shouts echoed by chords spread across the full orchestra. The celebratory mood continues into the next section, a vibrant rhythmic essay punctuated by the fanfare figure that opened the first movement. Poulenc closes his masterful Gloria with the final treatment of the Qui sedes text, this last one suffused with prayerful devotion and peaceful benediction.
