Our family, Berkeley Symphony, is experiencing one of the most innovative periods in its 43-year history. Tonight’s performance is clear evidence of this. Paul Dresher personifies everything that Berkeley Symphony aims to project—a commitment to contemporary creation, endless inventiveness, innovation, craft, great taste, and the ability to surpass every expectation and preconception that one might have—all at the service of creating works of great beauty. It is a profound honor to have Paul, an icon of our intellectual community, associated with us once again. Personally, having just committed the next five years of my artistic life to Berkeley Symphony and to you, our loyal audience, I am particularly excited to mark the occasion with this evening’s program. We open with The Unanswered Question by Charles Ives, one of the most important musical figures in recent history. This haunting piece, first written in 1906 as part of a longer work, had its premiere in 1946. Following Paul’s new work, we bring tonight’s performance to a rousing finale with Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony. It has been described by many as “one of the most perfect symphonies ever written.” Its irrepressible fourth movement is infused with joy and optimism, a fitting send-off as we embark on this musical journey together. It is, indeed, my privilege to share this program with you this evening. Thank you for being here tonight and always. My very best, Joana Carneiro October 4, 2012 5 6 October 4, 2012 Message from the Executive Director photo by Marshall Berman DEFIANTLY ORGINAL. What better way to describe Berkeley Symphony! Mention our name to most musicians, conductors, soloists, agents and managers from North America to Europe and Asia, and they not only will know of us, but they will express their admiration and respect. When Berkeley Symphony first approached Joana Carneiro about becoming our new Music Director, her mentor, Esa-Pekka Salonen—who had advised her to focus on securing a European post—told her that “Berkeley is a different story; I encourage you to wholeheartedly pursue this possibility.” And that is precisely what Joana has done. She has shared her heart and soul with us. Her passion, warmth and energy have transformed our sound and programming in ways that have caught the attention of all who experience our concerts. From the severest of critics to our most loyal fans, everyone agrees that something special is happening in Berkeley. In an unprecedented move, we have commissioned and are presenting four world premieres this season—one on each of our four concerts. I hope you will join us for this exciting journey and bear witness to history in the making. (Remember…all music ever written was considered “new music” when it first premiered.) From Berkeley’s very own Paul Dresher and Dylan Mattingly to Lisbon native Andrea Pinto-Correia and Pulitzer Prize-winner Steven Stucky, you will discover unchartered territories that will delight your senses and expand your horizons. I look forward to seeing you often in the season ahead.

October 4, 2012 13 14 October 4, 2012 Program Notes Charles Ives (1874–1954) The Unanswered Question muted; its place may be taken by English horn, oboe, or clarinet), and strings (preferably off-stage). Duration ca. 8 minutes. Charles Ives was born on October 20, C for chamber orchestra or chamber ensemble 1874, in Danbury, Connecticut, and died in New York City on May 19, 1954. He seems to have begun work on The Unanswered Question during the summer of 1906, and completed it around the end of the same year. In the early 1930s he included it in the A Set of Three Pieces for Strings, Woodwind, Trumpet, Horn, Piano and Drum, now known as the Orchestral Set No. 9. It was probably at this time that he made small revisions to the trumpet and wind parts; this second version is the more widely performed of the two and will be heard at tonight’s concert. He also adjusted the work’s title slightly, to Largo to Presto: The Unanswered Question. Ives also used other titles for the piece, including “A Contemplation of a Serious Matter” and “The Unanswered Perennial Question,” and one of his work-lists appends the subtitle “A Cosmic Landscape.” The official premiere of the work (second version) was given by some students at the Juilliard Graduate School on May 11, 1946. Edgar Schenkman conducted the on-stage orchestra, and Theodore Bloomfield the off-stage one. The Unanswered Question is scored for four flutes (oboe and clarinet will substitute for flutes III and IV, respectively), solo trumpet (preferably harles Ives was one of America’s greatest composers, and the unorthodox trajectory of his career seems uniquely American in nature. The son of a Connecticut band leader, Ives was involved in music from an early age. He began piano and organ lessons while a child, and at the age of 14 was the youngest salaried church organist in the state. He also studied harmony and counterpoint with his father, and began to compose in his early teens. While an undergraduate at Yale he continued his musical studies, primarily with Horatio Parker, and wrote a symphony in the late Romantic German style as his thesis. He never intended to be a professional musician, it seems, and after earning his Bachelor’s degree in 1898 he moved to New York and entered the insurance business, in which he was very successful. He resigned his last organist post in 1902, and never took a professional music job again. In his spare time, however, he continued to compose until about 1927, after which he created no more new works, but did revise many earlier pieces. Around the same time, coincidentally, his music began to attract October 4, 2012 15 16 October 4, 2012 the attention of the wider world. Most of the premieres of his works took place after 1927, and in 1947 he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his Third Symphony (which had been composed around 1908–1911 and first performed in 1946). Ives was a keen observer of the world around him, and his music reflects this trait. Many of his works depict a scene with multiple sonic events occurring simultaneously, reproducing the experience of standing outdoors and hearing two bands play in different parts of a park, for example, or of sitting by a river while the sounds of congregational hymn singing waft in from a distance. Ives was constantly experimenting with new uses of harmony and counterpoint—his music often has a multi-layered texture, in which the layers are in different keys or meters. One such work is The Unanswered Question, which he paired with Central Park in the Dark in a set called Two Contemplations. Three distinct entities occupy separate planes: a string orchestra (preferably offstage) sustains serenely beautiful diatonic chords that shift harmonies very slowly; from time to time a solo trumpet interjects a chromatic melody played in a different meter; each trumpet solo is followed by an atonal, chaotic outburst from a quartet of flutes. For such a brief work, Ives provided an amazingly detailed set of performance instructions. The instructions also include hints as to the larger meaning of the piece, as this excerpt shows: The strings play ppp throughout with no change in tempo. They are to represent “The Silences of the Druids—Who Know, See and Hear Nothing.” The trumpet intones “The Perennial Question of Existence,” and states it in the same tone of voice each time. But the hunt for “The Invisible Answer” undertaken by the flutes and other human beings, becomes gradually more active, faster and louder through an animando to a con fuoco. . . .“The Fighting Answerers,” as the time goes on, and after a “secret conference,” seem to realize a futility, and begin to mock “The Question”—the strife is over for the moment. After they disappear, “The Question” is asked for the last time, and “The Silences” are heard beyond in “Undisturbed Solitude.” Many interpretations have been brought forth to explain this work since its first performance in 1946. One of the best known is Leonard Bernstein’s proposition that the question here is “Whither tonality in the 20th century?” but it seems more likely that the conflict between tonal and atonal forces in the piece is the medium, not the message. Ives originally titled the work “The Unanswered Perennial Question,” then pared down the title to its current, more open-ended form; we should take this as a clue not to attach October 4, 2012 17 18 October 4, 2012 specific meaning to the piece. Rather, we should treat it as an invitation to inquiry. —© Victor Gavenda Paul Dresher (b. 1951) Concerto for Quadrachord and Orchestra Paul Dresher was born in Los Angeles and currently resides in Berkeley, California. He is best known for making music in an astounding variety of expressions. Concerto for Quadrachord is commissioned by Berkeley Symphony for the 2012-13 Season. It is scored for piccolo, flute, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets in B-flat (clarinet 1 doubles Eb clarinet; clarinet 2 doubles bass clarinet), bassoon, contrabassoon, 3 horns in F, 2 trumpets in B-flat, tenor trombone, bass trombone, tuba, piano, 3 percussion (see percussion inventory page), detuned string section, strings (tuned normally) and Quadrachord soloist. Duration ca. 26 minutes. The composer has provided the following comments T his work is in three separate movements that in general follow the conventional concerto movement sequence of fast—slow—fast. Beyond this large-scale formal connection to convention, the similarities to common practices become more difficult to define, starting most obviously with the featured solo instrument, the Quadrachord. This very large stringed instrument (four strings, each nearly 14 feet long) was invented and constructed by myself and my long-time collaborator Daniel Schmidt between 1999 and 2004. More detailed description of the instrument follows these notes. The first two movements, Uncommon Ground and A Tale of Two Tunings, take two different approaches to a core challenge originated from the fact that the Quadrachord plays in an entirely different tuning system than that of the orchestra. The orchestra, along with virtually all the other forms of music we hear daily regardless of idiom or point of origin, uses equal-temperament, a system in which all 12 semitones that make up an octave are equidistant from the one above or below. In sharp contrast, the Quadrachord’s extremely long strings—far longer than any conventional stringed instrument—allow the natural harmonic intervals to be played easily and accurately. These naturally occurring intervals are a result of the multiple modes of vibration that occur when a string or column of air is set into motion by plucking, bowing, striking or blowing. In contrast to equal temperament, they are unique because of the distance from their closest neighboring harmonic. While the first four or five of these naturally occurring subdivisions of the string (also known as “just” intervals, “overtones” or “partials”) are quite closely matched to those of equal temperament, they increasingly diverge from the conventional October 4, 2012 19 �� 510 ©2012 Margaretta K.

This composition makes extensive use of these intervals, as they are so resonant on the Quadrachord, and to my ears, musically intriguing. But to ears accustomed only to equal-temperament, these intervals will typically sound quite “out of tune” at first, often unpleasantly so. Thus one of my goals in this work is to introduce the Quadrachord’s tuning system in such a way that as the piece progresses, this initial strangeness will start to become familiar and begin to make a different kind of sense to the listener. To accomplish this I have had to come up with several compositional and orchestrational strategies in order to create some common ground, as well as interesting uncommon ground, between the orchestra and the Quadrachord. In fact, all the brass instruments in the orchestra utilize the intervals of the natural harmonic series, and so in the first two movements, this instrumental family plays a large role in establishing the common ground between the orchestra and the Quadrachord. The contrasting sound from the different tuning systems is the underlying subject of the first movement, Uncommon Ground. In parts of the first and second movements, I digitally record what I perform on the Quadrachord. This recording then loops continuously, forming the basis of the rich musical development furthered by both the live Quadrachord and orchestra. The second movement, A Tale of Two Tunings, is much more spare in its orchestration. The tension between the two different intonation systems is made apparent through a simple and continuously looped 14 bar harmonic progression. Beginning in equal temperament, this progression moves, hopefully with some new form of grace, to the intervallically remote regions of the 7th, 11th and 13th harmonics and then back to its equal tempered starting point. During the final statement of the progression, the attempt to reconcile just and equal tempered versions of the same tones is entirely dispensed with, and we hear the two systems superimposed upon one another unadorned and without excuse. The last movement, Louder/Faster, explores the unique sonic resources of the Quadrachord as a percussion instrument. In composing this section, I began by revisiting some performance techniques I first developed for the 2006 composition Glimpsed From Afar, a work I still perform regularly on the Quadrachord in a duo with my long-time percussionist and collaborator Joel Davel. While moving far beyond the musical terrain used in that work, this new work nonetheless owes a profound debt to Joel’s deep musical imagination and collaborative spirit. The Concerto was composed between March and September of 2012, first at my composing retreat in the redwood forest outside of Boonville, CA. Then, for very important three weeks in October 4, 2012 21 22 October 4, 2012 May, at the Atlantic Center for the Arts in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, where I was a Master Artist-In-Residence; and finally, in Boonville from June through its completion in early September. I am very grateful to the Creative Work Fund for its courageous support of this project; to Joana Carneiro and the staff, board and musicians of Berkeley Symphony for their dedication to bringing this project to fruition; to Jeremy Thal for his consultation regarding the intonational resources of the French Horn; to the Atlantic Center for the Arts; to John and Helen Meyer of Meyer Sound for years of support to the Paul Dresher Ensemble and the whole community (and for the loan of speakers for my composing studio); and most of all, to my extraordinary wife Philippa Kelly, for tolerating my ups and downs, obsessions and regressions, and insane daily schedule during the course of the composition. The Quadrachord The Quadrachord is an instrument invented in collaboration with instrument designer Daniel Schmidt as part of my music theater work Sound Stage. This work has a theatrical set comprised entirely of invented large-scale musical instruments/ sound sculptures. A collaboration with writer/director Rinde Eckert, Sound Stage was commissioned and premiered by the Minneapolis-based new music ensemble Zeitgeist in June of 2001. While there were many designs created for this production, the Quadrachord was clearly our most compelling invention and its sonic attributes have continued to inspire me since its creation. The instrument has a total string length of 160 inches; four strings of differing gauges but of equal length and an electric bass pick-up next to each of the two bridges. The instrument can be plucked like a guitar, bowed like cello, played like a slide guitar, prepared like a piano and hammered on like a percussion instrument. Because of the extremely long string length (relative to our conventional bowed and plucked instruments), and very low open string/fundamental pitches, the instrument is capable of easily and accurately playing the harmonic series up to the 28nd harmonic and beyond. Thus it is a remarkable tool for exploring alternative tuning systems based on the harmonic series. Since 2002, I have regularly used the instrument in live performance in a duo with electronic percussionist Joel Davel. It is typically used in conjunction with live digital looping and signal processing (most importantly programmable equalization or tone control) that together allow us to build up complex multi-track layers, each of which is defined by a distinct timbre and spectral characteristics. Since its debut in Sound Stage, the instrument has been used in several important works. It is the featured instrument and source for all sounds October 4, 2012 23 in the concert work In the Name(less) that I recorded with percussionist Joel Davel on my 2004 New Albion CD, Cage Machine. In 2006, as result of a commission from the Jewish Music Festival produced by the Berkeley JCC, Joel and I premiered a second duo for the Quadrachord and Marimba Lumina, Glimpsed From Afar. This work has toured widely, was performed on a program with the Los Angeles Philharmonic in Disney Hall as part of the West Coast Left Coast Music Festival directed by John Adams. As a source for digital sound samples and explorations of alternative “just” tunings, it is at the core of Unequal Distemperament, my four-movement concerto for cellist Joan Jeanrenaud and my own Electro-Acoustic Band, completed in 2006. And in recorded form, it is source for all the sounds in the surround sound work Steel, which is part of the surround sound audio DVD compilation, Immersion (2000) on the Starkland label.

The exact date of his birth is not known, but he was baptized on December 17, 1770 so it is assumed that he was born either on that day or on the day before. He moved to Vienna in 1792 to take up the study of composition with Franz Josef Haydn, and remained a resident of that city until his death on March 26, 1827. Beethoven seems to have begun work on the Seventh Symphony in the autumn of 1811; he began to write out the fair copy of the completed work on May 13, 1812. Its first performance took place on December 8, 1813 in the Hall of the University of Vienna. The concert was sufficiently successful (credit for this is at least partly due to the other major work on the program, Beethoven’s “Battle Symphony”) to be repeated on December 12; then again on January 2 and February 27 of the following year, in the Large Redoutensaal in the Hofburg Palace. At the latter event it was joined on the program by the Eighth Symphony, which was receiving its premiere. Publication followed in November of 1816, by Steiner of Vienna. Score and parts appeared simultaneously, a first for one of Beethoven’s symphonies, and the title pages of both bear the dedication to Count Moritz von Fries, a wealthy aristocrat and patron of the arts who provided material aid to the careers of Haydn and Beethoven. The work is scored for the typical late-Classical-Period orchestra, calling for pairs each of flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, horns and trumpets, plus timpani and strings. Duration ca. 38 minutes. “Everyone’s talking about Talavera.” —San Francisco Chronicle Handmade Sinks, Tile, Garden & Tableware ... and more 1801 University (at Grant), Berkeley Open Mon-Sat 10-6, Sun 12-6 510-665-6038 www.TalaveraCeramics.com Out-of-Print & Rare Books on the Arts 3032 Claremont Avenue Berkeley (510) 655-3413 [email protected] October 4, 2012 25 26 October 4, 2012 A fter completing the Fifth and Pastoral Symphonies in 1808, Beethoven turned away from symphonic music for several years. No doubt the 1809 occupation of Vienna by Napoleon’s army is partly responsible for this: most of the city’s aristocratic families fled to the countryside, taking an important source of patronage for the performing arts with them. In addition, the financial and social disruptions caused by the presence of the foreign army rendered impractical most large-scale public music-making. French troops departed the city in late 1809, and life slowly began to return to normal. The first signs of work on the Seventh Symphony are found in the so-called Petter sketchbook, now in the Bodmer collection in Bonn, which dates from the second half of 1811. Beethoven’s ideas for the A Major Symphony are intermingled with sketches for the Eighth Symphony. Some notations in this sketchbook confirm references in Beethoven’s letters of the time to a third symphony in D minor. (These ideas were to lie fallow for another decade, until he began work on the Ninth Symphony in earnest.) Completed by May of 1812, the Symphony in A Major languished unperformed. Austria was in the grip of a general economic and emotional malaise, thanks to the hardships wrought by the continuing Napoleonic wars. For the most part, the only public concerts that took place were charity events in support of the victims of the war. Furthermore, Beethoven was struggling with emotional conflicts of a more personal nature. In the summer of 1812, he composed (but probably did not send) the famous letter to his “Immortal Beloved,” a woman with whom he was passionately in love, but who was hopelessly out of reach. And in the fall of the year, he devoted much time and energy to meddling in the love life of his brother, Johann. He was convinced that his brother’s girlfriend was wicked and immoral, and he traveled to their home in Linz in an attempt to drive them apart, going so far as to attempt to enlist the local bishop and the police in his causes. Naturally, Beethoven’s efforts backfired: the couple, driven to desperation by the composer’s interference, got married. Beethoven slunk back to Vienna in defeat. Finally, in late 1813, an opportunity arose for a performance of the new symphony, thanks to Beethoven’s acquaintance with the inventor and musician, Johann Nepomuk Mälzel (1772–1838), who had earned the hearing-impaired composer’s admiration and affection by crafting an ear-trumpet that actually worked. Mälzel, better known to music history through his 1817 invention, the metronome, became famous through his elaborate mechanical musical instruments, including his Mechanical Trumpeter and the grand Panharmonicon. This ungainly beast incorporated all of the usual military band instruments in a box, complete with bellows to power them and a music-box-like toothed cylinder to play them. After the news October 4, 2012 27 28 October 4, 2012 of Wellington’s victory over the French at the Battle of Vittoria (in June of 1813) arrived in Vienna, Mälzel hit on the idea of asking Beethoven to compose a “Battle Symphony” that would display the talents of the Panharmonicon to greatest advantage. The plan was for the odd couple to take the machine on tour, performing the novelty act in numerous cities across Europe. To finance the venture, Mälzel realized that not one, but several benefit concerts would be necessary. To gain public favor, the proceeds from the first concerts would be earmarked for the victims of the recent Battle of Hanau, but if there was sufficient demand, the concert could be repeated to the benefit of its sponsors. He asked Beethoven to orchestrate the “Battle Symphony,” and suggested that if he had any other unheard orchestral works lying around, those could help fill out the program. in his own right, describes Beethoven’s Because Beethoven hadn’t given a public orchestral concert in several years, and because of the charitable nature of the event, many of Vienna’s most prominent musicians offered their services for free or next to nothing. One gets the sense from contemporary sources that they volunteered partly for the honor of participating in a new major work by Beethoven (for the Seventh Symphony) and partly as a professional frolic (for the “Battle Symphony”). Several of the musicians recorded their impressions of the event; Louis Spohr, who played violin and was a renowned composer and the Seventh Symphony were re- conducting: Beethoven had accustomed himself to indicate expression to the orchestra by all manner of singular bodily movements. So often as a sforzando occurred, he tore his arms, which he had previously crossed upon his breast, with great vehemence asunder. At piano he crouched down lower and lower as he desired the degree of softness. If a crescendo then entered he gradually rose again and at the entrance of the forte jumped into the air. Sometimes, too, he unconsciously shouted to strengthen the forte . . . It was obvious that the poor man could no longer hear the piano of his music. The amazing thing is that Mälzel’s plan worked spectacularly. The first concert was a smash hit. Both the potboiler, Wellington’s Victory (its official title), ceived with wild applause, and the repetition of the concert a few days later had the same result. A large sum of money was raised for the widows and orphans, and at further repetitions of the program in early 1814, Beethoven earned a handsome profit for himself. But these concerts had a significance for Beethoven that went far beyond pecuniary matters. They were a watershed in his career, the moment when his public recognition spread beyond the narrow circle of aristocrats and connoisseurs who were his original patrons and reached a much wider audiOctober 4, 2012 29 30 October 4, 2012 ence. He had “arrived,” in the modern sense. At the time, much of this success was attributed to Wellington’s Victory, which combines God Save the King with imitation cannon blasts, but it is clear the A Major Symphony was understood and appreciated as well. For one thing, at each performance, the audience insisted that the Allegretto, one of Beethoven’s most sublime achievements, be repeated. This melancholy movement, whose frequent shifts of mode between minor and major foreshadow the art of Schubert, is the only serious moment in a work that is almost entirely devoted to the expression of unbridled joy and good humor. Its giddy atmosphere was a heady tonic for a people just beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel after a decade of almost constant warfare and political and economic upheaval. Overall, the symphony is characterized by radical contrasts and almost comical juxtapositions. The opening movement begins with one of Beethoven’s most grand and imposing slow introductions, but once we reach the main part of the movement, a solo flute in jaunty 6/8 time leads the merry-making. Frequently, thematic statements made by instruments at the treble end of the orchestra are answered by those at the extreme bass end. Forte and piano follow upon each other in quick succession. It is not uncommon for metric weight to be shifted from strong beats to weak for many measures in a row. Indeed, it is Beethoven’s mastery of rhythm that gives this work its intoxicating vitality. Not only is every movement pervaded by rhythmic motives that are treated almost obsessively, but on deeper levels the structure of the music propels the work inexorably forward to climaxes of enormous power. In the words of J.W.N. Sullivan (Beethoven: His Spiritual Developmenti): “The exultant note rises higher until in the last movement, we are in the region of pure ecstasy, a reckless, headlong ecstasy, a more than Bacchic festival of joy.” —© Victor Gavenda I just love this orchestra!

In January 2009 she was named Music Director of Berkeley Symphony, succeeding Kent Nagano and becoming only the third music director in the 40-year history of the orchestra. She currently serves as official guest conductor of the Gulbenkian Orchestra in Lisbon, Portugal. 2012-13 marks Carneiro’s fourth season as Music Director of Berkeley Symphony, where she has been recognized for leading the orchestra’s acclaimed initiative in focusing on composers and new works. Her critically acclaimed partnership with the Orchestra will continue for an additional five years through the 2016–17 Season. With a world-premiere commission planned for each subscription program, Carneiro’s 2012-13 concerts with Berkeley combine new works from Paul Dresher, Dylan Mattingly, Andreia Pinto-Correia and Steven Stucky, alongside masterworks such as Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7, Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4, Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances and Schumann’s Symphony No. 2. She also leads Jessica Rivera and the San Francisco Girls Chorus with members of the Orchestra in the world premiere of an oratorio by Gabriela Lena Frank. Carneiro’s growing guest-conducting career continues to take her all around the globe. Following her highly successful debuts with the Gothenburg and Gävle symphony orchestras last season, she returns to Sweden in 2012-13 to guest conduct both orchestras again, as well as the Norrköping Symphony, and to make debuts with the Swedish Radio Orchestra, Malmö Symphony and Norrlands Opera Orchestra. She makes her German debut conducting the Aachen Symphony, and her Netherlands debut with the Residentie Orkest, conducts the Euskadi Orchestra of Spain, and goes to Asia for her Hong Kong Philharmonic debut.

Weiland Berkeley Symphony H ailed as “the Bay Area’s most adventurous orchestra” by the Con- tra Costa Times, Berkeley Symphony has established a reputation for presenting major new works for orchestra alongside fresh interpretations of the classical European repertoire. It has been recognized with an Adventurous Programming Award from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) in eight of the past ten seasons. The Orchestra performs four mainstage concerts a year at Zellerbach Hall on the UC Berkeley campus, and supports local composers through its Under Construction New Music Series. A community leader in music education, the Orchestra partners with the Berkeley Unified School District to produce the awardwinning Music in the Schools program, providing comprehensive, age-appropriate music curriculum to more than 4,000 local elementary students each year. Berkeley Symphony was founded in 1969 as the Berkeley Promenade Orchestra by Thomas Rarick, a protégé of the great English Maestro Sir Adrian Boult. Reflecting the spirit of the times, the orchestra performed in street dress and at unusual locations such as the University Art Museum. Under its second Music Director Kent Nagano, who took the post in 1978, the Orchestra charted a new course with innovative programming that included a number of rarely performed 20th-century scores. In 1981, the internationally renowned French composer Olivier Messiaen journeyed to Berkeley to assist with the preparations of his imposing oratorio The Transfiguration of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Orchestra gave a October 4, 2012 41 Dining Guide DELICATESSEN CATERING 1685 SHATTUCK BERKELEY 510-845-5932 Poulet Rick & Ann’s Restaurant MON-FRI 10:30 - 8 PM SAT 10:30 - 6 PM Rick & Ann’s for Dinner: Berkeley’s best kept secret! 2922 Domingo Avenue Berkeley 510-649-8538 www.RickAndAnns.com BEC’S BAR AND BISTRO 2271 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley (510) 641-1790 Dinner served from 5pm to 11pm Open table reservation 42 October 4 P oulet is like a cafe set up at your grandmother’s house - after she’s taken a few cooking courses and gotten hip to vegetarian food, etc. -S.F.

In 1984, Berkeley Symphony collaborated with Frank Zappa in a critically acclaimed production featuring life-size puppets and moving stage sets, catapulting the Orchestra onto the world stage. Berkeley Symphony has introduced to Bay Area audiences works by upcoming young composers, many of whom have since achieved international prominence. Celebrated British composer George Benjamin, who subsequently became Composer-inResidence at the San Francisco Symphony, was first introduced to the Bay Area in 1987 when Berkeley Symphony performed his compositions Jubilation and Ringed by the Flat Horizon; as was Thomas Adés, whose opera Powder Her Face was debuted by the orchestra in a concert version in 1997 before it was fully staged in New York City, London and Chicago. A champion of new music, Berkeley Symphony has commissioned and premiered numerous new works. Recent orchestra-commissioned works include Private Alleles (2011) by Enrico Chapela, Mantichora (2011) by Du Yun, Holy Sisters (2012) by Gabriela Lena Frank. Other past commissions include Manzanar: An American History (2005) by Naomi Sekiya, Jean-Pascal Beintus and David Benoit; Bitter Harvest (2005) by Kurt Rohde and librettist Amanda Moody; and a fanfare by Rohde, commemorating Nagano’s 30 years as music director. Berkeley Symphony entered a new era in January 2009 as Joana Carneiro became the orchestra’s third Music Director in its 40-year history. Under Carneiro, the Symphony continues its tradition of presenting the cutting edge of classical music. Together, they are forging deeper relationships with living composers, which include several prominent contemporary Bay Area composers such as John Adams, Paul Dresher, and Gabriela Lena Frank. www.buyartworknow.com October 4, 2012 43 Dining Guide Beers $2.75 after 4 pm Our house wine (stone cellar) for $2.75 with meal after 4 pm 1600 Shattuck Ave Berkeley (510) 705-1836 5600 College Ave Oakland (510) 658-2026 Open daily 7:30am–11pm (midnight Fri & sat) www.crepevine.com “Gluten-free” Crepes!

Fifth Annual Music in the Schools Luncheon Tuesday, October 30, 2012 Bancroft Hotel This year marks the 20th anniversary of Berkeley Symphony’s Music in the Schools program. Join us as we celebrate this milestone at our annual Music in the Schools Luncheon on Tuesday, October 30. This year’s event will honor Ming Luke, Director of Music Education for MITS, and Suzanne McCulloch, District Visual and Performing Arts Program Supervisor for the Berkeley Unified Schools District. The event will begin at 12:30 pm, and will feature a delicious meal, wine generously donated by William Knuttel, and an unforgettable performance from student performers who have grown up with the MITS program. It promises to be a special opportunity to celebrate how music education has enriched our community and how the program has evolved in these past 20 years. “A great community resource. A true gem in bridging the arts and bringing fine music development and appreciation to our school.” —Marina Franco, fourth-grade teacher October 4, 2012 47 48 October 4, 2012 Under Construction Joana Carneiro working with Under Construction composer Mark Ackerley. Under Construction New Music Series / Composers Program E stablished in 1993, Berkeley Symphony’s Under Construction New Music Series/ Composers Program is a unique commitment to Bay Area composers and new music. Designed as a reading session to showcase the Bay Area’s composing talents, the program engages the community in contemporary music and its making, as well as provides a rare and invaluable opportunity for emerging composers to further develop their skills and to gain practical experience writing for a professional orchestra. During the course of the program, each selected composer workshops and completes one symphonic work to be presented at the Under Construction concerts. They work closely with a program leader, who provides individual mentoring sessions and professional guidance. They also have access to the orchestra members, as well as opportunities to receive feedback with Music Director Joana Carneiro and guest composers. Each composer also receives a recording of the final performance for their personal use. In the 2012-13 Season, composers Paul Dresher and Steven Stucky will lead Under Construction and provide a guiding hand. The Under Construction concerts are formatted to build upon each other: the orchestra rehearses the work in progress and experiments with different musical passages at the first concert to enable the complete, polished piece to be performed at the second concert. Our audience members will have an inside look at how the composer, the conductor and the musicians work together to bring new compositions to life for the first time. They will also be able to participate in the dialogue along the way. Our composers chronicle their experiences and the growth of their pieces during the program.
