Governor Ramsey, along with some music-loving friends,
formed a club they called “The Ladies Musicale.” The first
meetings were social gatherings with club members
providing musical counterpoint. Concerts, lectures and study
groups were soon organized, and before long the name was
changed to honor composer Franz Schubert. In 1893, by
adding the International Artist Series to its programs, the

of musical collaboration, the venerable Music in the Park
Series became part of The Schubert Club in 2010. Schubert
Club audiences now total more than 30,000 people a year.
Promoting music in education has long been an important
part of The Schubert Club’s activities. The annual student

remodeled and expanded in 2009, was visited by more than
12,000 people in the last year. It features both exotic and
familiar musical instruments, historic keyboards, and
letters from such famous composers as Haydn, Mozart
and Beethoven.
Today, 130 years from its founding, The Schubert Club—no
longer a club—has secured a prominent place among musical
organizations. Its tradition of promoting the finest in musical
arts continues into the twenty-first century in its concerts,
education programs, and museum. The Schubert Club is thriving.

Dear friends,
As we complete our 129th season and I reflect
on my first six months here, I can only restate
the tremendous privilege I feel to be Director
of The Schubert Club. In this edition of
An die Musik, we have the opportunity to look
back at some of this season’s performances,

this magazine which recognize our generous contributors. How fortunate we
are to have such a broad range of supporters that it takes eight whole pages to
list them. None of The Schubert Club’s activities (performances, education or
museum-related programs) operate with a surplus. We are mission-driven and
it is only through a combination of grants, sponsorships and donations from
individuals like you that we are able to run our education programs, award
prizes and keep admission to our Museum free of charge - and we remain
committed to affordable ticket prices to all our concerts. Thank you for caring
about The Schubert Club and showing your support so generously.

“The 22-year-old twins displayed
something Tuesday that you
don’t expect to find in such
youthful players: An interpretive

couple of centuries worth of
repertoire and an infectious
sense of joy in music making.”

Tuesday, November 29
André Watts, piano
“[The Goldstein-Peled-Fiterstein
Trio presented] a satisfying
variety pack of music from three
centuries and four instrumental
combinations . . . we were treated
to the thrill of a chamber music
collaboration at which the artists
seemed charged by the same
high-voltage current.”
– Pioneer Press
“Watts, at 65, still plays Liszt’s
music with an agility and
authority that pianists half his
age would envy.”
– Star Tribune
Photo: Özgür Albayrak
“His warm lyric baritone reminds one
of Fischer-Dieskau, but he uses his
instrument in his own unique way, with
his own insights. He combines a rich,
resonant lower register with a thrilling,
soaring top. He filled the hall with a sound
that conveyed both passion and nuance.”
“Pianist Leif Ove Andsnes proved an
impeccable collaborator. He combined the
best qualities of an accompanist and a
soloist, supporting Goerne, but creating
magical effects independent of him.”
– Star Tribune

“Fischer and pianist Milana Chernyavska
demonstrated exceptional musicianship
throughout the evening. But the final
completed piece by a cancer-stricken Claude
Debussy proved the compelling centerpiece,
their performance roiling with conflicting
emotions and demanding the skills of an
exceptionally versatile violinist.”

“It’s not really possible to have too much

Colloquium - A Life of Music
“Pressler showed that describing him
as a chamber music master is far

an intrepid explorer of emotional
landscapes, one who conveys a deep
understanding of the many layers within
whatever work he plays.” – Pioneer Press

capable of moments of refined
delicacy.” – Star Tribune

“The quartet tapped into three diffuse
musical visions and made a passionate

Letter from Tchaikovsky, 1877
Schubert Club Museum manager Jason Kudrna mentioned
to researcher Brett Langston at the Tchaikovsky website
that the Museum had a second Tchaikovsky letter. That
one too proved to be previously unknown to scholars. Both
letters have now been published, with English translations,
transcriptions of Tchaikovsky’ s original French, digital
images of the letters, and background essays at tchaikovskyresearch.net with the catalog numbers 0534a and 4749a.
The Museum hopes, in time, to make digital images of all
its manuscripts available on The Schubert Club’s website to
Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893)
When The Schubert Club opened its renovated Museum in
late 2009, the twelve composer letters newly displayed in
scholars and enthusiasts worldwide.
French conductor
Édouard Colonne
(1838-1910)
the manuscript gallery also went online in digital format
at schubert.org. Among the letters was one in French from
Tchaikovsky to an unnamed conductor about a proposed
concert of the composer’s music. Shortly thereafter museum
staff received an email from tchaikovsky-research.net, an
internet collaboration of scholars dedicated to making
information about the life and works of the great Russian
composer more widely accessible. Among other endeavors,
they have published the more than 5200 letters Tchaikovsky
is known to have written. The Schubert Club’s letter, it
seems, was previously unknown to the scholarly community!
Researchers there identified the recipient, French
conductor and impressario Édouard Colonne, as well as
providing context for the letter, and a correct date—1877.
Tchaikovsky’s rather wild penmanship had made the year
look like it might be 1891. Based on that erroneous date,
museum staff had thought the letter might relate to
the composer’s Carnegie Hall concert on his only visit to
America. But other correspondence already published made
it clear that our letter was in reference to a Paris concert.
Colonne eventually premiered Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4
in the French capital the following year.

Letter to Édouard Colonne, 1877, one of two Tchaikovsky
letters given to The Schubert Club by Gilman Ordway.
“It goes without saying that my
compositions gain enormously in
being conducted by you.”
Moscow. 11 January 1877
Monsieur!
Allow me to thank you sincerely for the kind letter which you
have done me the honour of sending to me. I am immensely
happy and proud of the extreme forbearance with which you
have deigned to promise me your invaluable participation in
the planned concert. I have written, as you advised me, to
Mr Giacomelli regarding the organization of this concert, and
as soon as I have his reply I shall write to you in detail about
the date of the concert, the number of musicians I need, the
programme etc.
It goes without saying that my compositions gain enormously
in being conducted by you. I say this not to give you an idle
compliment but in the profound and firm conviction that I do
not have the talent nor the necessary know-how to conduct
an orchestra so experienced and unknown to me as yours in a
manner worthy of it.
Letter from Tchaikovsky, 1877, photographed by
Minnesota artist Natasha D’Schommer for
The Schubert Club’s book.
To Music published in November 2011.
But you yourself, Sir, will you tell me quite frankly if it would
tire you too greatly to have to rehearse and direct the concert.
I would consider myself most happy if you would assume
this task yourself, but in any case, I shall comply absolutely
with whatever you shall advise me to do. Please accept the
expression of my profound respect.
Allow me to thank you cordially for all your kindness, and to
beg you to accept this expression of the highest esteem felt
for you devotedly by
P. I. Tchaikovsky
To Music: The Schubert Club Museum. Photographs by Natasha D’Schommer
Thanks to the generosity of William and Judith Scheide and the Scheide Fund, The Schubert Club has
published a beautiful book by Minneapolis photographer Natasha D’ Schommer, To Music. Visitors to The
Schubert Club Museum know D’Schommer’s work from the mural-sized enlargements that grace the gallery walls. D’Schommer’s artistry elegantly reveals intimate details of fascinating objects in the Museum’s
collection: antique keyboards, instruments from around the world and manuscripts from the Museum’s
Gilman Ordway Manuscript Collection. Published in November 2011, the book contains more than seventy
of D’Schommer’s arresting images in full color. More information about the book (and how to purchase it)
can be found at schubert.org/tomusic.
D’Schommer’s earlier book Biblio featured images of rare books and manuscripts at the Princeton University Library. She was asked by the
University of Minnesota to turn her artist’s eye to the James Ford Bell Library where she is currently in the midst of a multi-year project
photographing seventeenth-century books and maps.

About the Composer Mentorship Program:
Each spring, talented high-school student composers in the greater Twin Cities area are selected to work with The Schubert Club’s
composer-in-residence Edie Hill for the academic year. The mentorship involves individual composition lessons, as well as opportunities
for the group to work together as a whole.
Congratulations to this year’s apprentices!
Austin Frohmader • Grant Luhmann • Christopher Neiner • Dylan Perese
The mentorship program is offered free of charge to each selected composer and is sponsored in part by HRK Foundation.
Founded in Albuquerque in 2007, The Copper Street
Brass Quintet
set up shop in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 2008 where, through their
inventive concerts, engaging classroom programs, and a host of original
arrangements, they’ve transcended the brass quintet box and evolved
into something fresh. As devoted educators, the group spends much of its
time in local schools sharing their energy and passion with students from
kindergarten to college. The group has recorded three albums and has been
featured on Minnesota Public Radio, KARE 11 news and Montana Today. Their
two newest albums, “Christmas on Copper Street” and “The Evolution of the
Brass Quintet” feature all-new recordings of everything from Tchaikovsky’s
“Nutcracker Suite” to Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin.”

130th Anniversary Concert
Jessye Norman, soprano
April 30, 2013 • 7:30 PM
Ordway Center
In celebration of its 130th anniversary, The Schubert Club presents a recital by one of the great vocal
artists of our day, American soprano Jessye Norman. The New York Times has called MIss Norman
“one of those once-in-a-generation singers who is not simply following in the footsteps of others, but
is staking out her own niche in the history of singing.”
Miss Norman’s contributions to this rich history continue as she shares her sumptuous sound, her
joy and her passion with audiences around the world–in recital performances and appearances
with symphony orchestras and chamber music collaborators. The size, power, and luster of her voice
deserve equal acclaim with her thoughtful music-making, innovative programming of the classics,
and fervent advocacy of contemporary music.
Known as a dramatic soprano par excellence since her debut as Elisabeth in Tannhaüser at the
Deutsche Oper in Berlin, Miss Norman also earns accolades for her recitals. In the words of Fiona
Maddocks of The Independent, “A pattern can be detected in most Jessye Norman concerts. In
the first half, with her voice still warming up, pleasure is tempered with a slight anxiety that
perhaps she will not prove as exciting as you thought. In the second, some strange alchemy
occurs, not simply explained by the fact that the program is structured to reach a climax, as any
solo recital would. By the end, quite apart from any emotional uplift, you leave with a sense of
having been physically overwhelmed.”
Miss Norman has appeared three times before in recitals on The Schubert Club’s International
Artist Series. It is a delight to bring her once again to Ordway Center for this special celebratory
anniversary concert.

An exploration of Social Media draws the
Next Generation of Arts Patrons
Matt Zumwalt, Schubert Club Board Member
As The Schubert Club waltzes into its 130th anniversary, it
could be content to function as a stuffy, conservative grandmarm to the cities’ performing arts world. I find it delightful
and instructive to see the organization pass that option over.
A wise friend pointed out that “An organization doesn’t last
130 years by chasing fads, but it also can’t survive by ignoring
change.” In order to survive, it must remain responsive. The
Schubert Club seems to live by that ethos.
The staff of The Schubert Club are bright, skillful and
enthusiastic people. They have fresh perspectives and they’re
led by a new Executive Director who has no shortage of
insightful ideas. This organization is vivacious.
It’s in this environment that The Schubert Club has launched
the Theoroi project, a novel initiative aimed at harnessing
social media to cultivate a community of young arts patrons.
On the evening of Susan Graham’s performance at the Ordway
this January, twenty five young professionals and artists stood
in the foyer speculating about where their seats would be,
discussing the previous show they’d seen together a month
earlier, and generally catching up. They dominated the space in
front of the bar with an air of eminent confidence and comfort.
Who were they? They were too confident in the space to be a
random outing of friends, and too cohesive to be a spontaneous
gathering of ticket holders. Some of my fellow board members
stopped by saying “These must be the Theoroi.”
The Schubert Club’s Theoroi project (http://theoroi.com) invites
twenty five people each year, all in their twenties and thirties,
to serve as “ambassadors of the arts” who attend a ten-month
series of performances around the Twin Cities and post online
about their experiences. Susan Graham’s International Artist
Series performance was the participants’ third show at the
Ordway in four months. Their previous Ordway experiences
were the Minnesota Opera’s Così fan Tutte in October and the
Ordway’s presentation of Vox Lumiere in November. Other
performances in the season include shows presented by the
Guthrie, Dakota Jazz Club, St Paul Chamber Orchestra and
Jungle Theater. The full season is posted on the project’s website.
Though we initially conceived Theoroi as a playful exploration
of social media and community engagement, the project
has quickly taken on a broader, richer tone. I now tell people
that we’re training the next generation of arts patrons, which
invariably draws the query “What do you mean by a patron?”
22
THE SCHUBERT CLUB An die Musik
I’ve learned that some people think of arts patronage primarily
in terms of financial support while others define patronage
in terms of engagement, enthusiasm, and participation.
With Theoroi, we are seeking to feed a whole culture of
arts patronage, one where people of many ages attend
performances, have opinions about them, and express those
opinions in a public forum. I think that a thriving arts culture
is one where people arrive at performances wondering what
familiar faces they will see in the audience, and speculating
about what the evening’s experience will bring. After the
performance, they should walk out with opinions on their
tongues, the confidence to express them and a curiosity about
the opinions of others. If you have those things, then you have
the basis for a culture of patronage–one where audiences
are engaged, arts organizations are responsive, and the
community feels compelled to sustain those organizations.
With each year of the project, Theoroi adds fresh voices to
the mix while growing the overall network of connected,
informed, vocal ambassadors. This summer we will invite
twenty five new participants for the 2012-2013 season.
Meanwhile the participants from 2011-2012 are enthusiastic
about remaining involved. Even with fifty people, this
project could have lasting positive impact. Network effects
will compound those benefits with every additional year.
Thirty years from now, how many Theoroi graduates will be
gathering in the foyer of the Ordway? How long will they
have known each other, how long will they have thought of
themselves as arts patrons, and how many different ways will
they be contributing to the vitality of arts in our cities?
The Theoroi project is made possible with financial
support from Knight Foundation.
