Emerson String Quartet to Debut in Rockport
BY CHRIS BARKER, EDITOR
May, they will play in Rockport before heading to Japan in
mid-June and then returning to a full performance calendar in
the U.S. and Canada.
The musicians of the Emerson String Quartet
will glide their bows across the strings of violins,
viola and cello as they open the 33rd Rockport
Chamber Music Festival, a first appearance by
“one of the world’s most respected, appreciated
and popular chamber music institutions.”
Entering its 37th season, the Emerson String Quartet welcomes
new cellist Paul Watkins, its first personnel change since 1979.
Watkins joins violinists Eugene Drucker and Philip Setzer and
violist Lawrence Dutton. He replaces David Finckel, who left
the quartet to pursue his burgeoning solo and chamber music
career with his pianist wife, Wu Han. The popular duo returns
to Rockport June 8th, two days after the opening.
This spring, The New York
Times praised the Quartet for
a series of concerts at Lincoln
Center, featuring the music
they will play at the Opening
Night Gala on June 6 at the
Shalin Liu Performance Center.
”It will be fun for our audiences
to hear both the quartet’s new
and former cellists within 48
hours,” says Deveau.
Finckel says, “We consider
ourselves fortunate to
continue to perform there,
and we are so happy to see
that the Emerson Quartet is
finally making its debut at this
wonderful Festival as well.”
“I've been attempting for
years to have the Emerson
Quartet perform at Rockport,”
says Artistic Director David
Deveau. It was almost two
years ago when Deveau
booked this Opening Night
concert, finding a break in the
EMERSON STRING QUARTET
Emerson’s schedule that fit
the Festival calendar. “This
quartet has been at the top of the ever-expanding list of great
American quartets since their beginnings in the late 1970s.
I am thrilled that the Rockport audience will at last have an
opportunity to hear this superb ensemble.”
Opening Night’s program
features two very different
works, the Shostakovich 13th
quartet and Schubert’s “Death
and the Maiden,” written more
than a century apart but with a common theme of death.
Dmitri Shostakovich wrote his quartet in 1970 when the composer
was suffering from poliomyelitis, a degenerative condition that
claimed his life in 1975, just one month short of his 69th birthday.
The much younger Franz Schubert was composing while
fighting symptoms of syphilis, a disease that would cause his
death in 1828 at the age of 31.
Among their achievements are 30 recordings, nine Grammy®
Awards (including two for Best Classical Album), three
Gramophone Awards, the Avery Fisher Prize and Musical
America’s “Ensemble of the Year.” The impressive list explains
why they are in demand. After traveling to South America in
Violinist Drucker explained why the Emerson String Quartet
chose this music. “Everyone is afraid of death,” he said. “To

summer smokin’ with hot jazz…
BY TONY BEADLE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
It’s hard to believe this year marks the third anniversary
of the Rockport Jazz Festival, a perfect blend of legends
and great performers of today’s generation—all
within a five-day stretch. So, get your tickets, maybe
settle in at one of Rockport’s B&B’s or inns and be
prepared for some great non-stop listening.
We get started Wednesday, August 13, with Ali Jackson and his
quartet. You might know him as the drummer for the Jazz at
Lincoln Center Orchestra where he’s worked with almost
everybody in the business. An old West African proverb says,
“A master drummer must have seven eyes,” or in this case,
perform with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra!
Looking for a refreshing change? Then Thursday’s artist, Cyrille
Aimée, is just for you. Her approach is logical, yet improvised;
lyrical, yet highly rhythmic. Prepare for some standards sung
like you’ve never heard them. She has won both the Shure
Montreux Jazz Voice and Sarah Vaughan International Jazz
Vocal competitions. That is all you need to know.
Not many jazz artists delve into the classical world, but for
Donal Fox, who plays on Friday, it’s familiar ground. Radio
personality Terrance McKnight describes his style as “Art Tatum
on the right hand; Johann Sebastian Bach on the left; Donal
Fox in the middle.” He brings virtuosity, coupled with a nod to
classical, all blended into “classic” (and not so classic!) jazz.
If you want legends, then be here on both Saturday and Sunday.
Things get rolling Saturday with pianist Kenny Barron, who has
performed with almost every great jazz artist of the modern era
during a career spanning more than 50 years. His work as a
pianist and film composer, combined with a vast catalog of
more than 40 recordings, makes him a true jazz icon.
CYRILLE AIMÉE
ALI JACKSON
Bucky Pizzarelli, a master of the seven-string guitar, is featured
on the post-brunch time slot at 2 pm Sunday. He has a storied
career playing alongside Benny Goodman and Frank Sinatra
(among many others) and is the father of guitarist and singer
John Pizzarelli. Bucky Pizzarelli joins the incomparable Frank
Vignola and Vinny Raniolo, giving us three generations of swing
guitar. They’re calling this show Swing Xing!, whatever that
means. I think it means something great.
In his second visit to Rockport, superstar bassist Christian McBride
provides a fitting Festival closer Sunday evening. Coming from
a line of family bass players, McBride has distinguished himself
as an artist on the acoustic bass, but also as a composer and
arranger. Like most jazz greats, he does not sit still for long,
searching for that next jazz genre that will interest him. As
listeners, we are well-served here.
That wraps up the five-day Rockport Jazz Festival, consisting of
six performances from Wednesday to Sunday (August 13-17).
And don’t forget our Jazz Chats, 30-minute informal interviews
with the artists conducted one hour before each Jazz Festival concert.
These events are insightful, informative and just plain fun.
See you at the Festival!

a sextet of quartets
BY DAVID DEVEAU, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
I made a conscious choice this summer to return
to our roots for the 33rd Rockport Chamber Music
Festival by putting the spotlight on the string quartet.
Making Festival debuts are MacArthur
winner Jeremy Denk, the brilliant
young pianist Charlie Albright and
the incredible 12-voice all male choir
Chanticleer with a “double header”
of a debut!
The Festival began by featuring small
ensembles in the Rockport Art
Association building on a stage that
could barely fit a grand piano and four
additional players.
In the Shalin Liu Performance Center,
we have been able to present
ensembles of up to 18 players. Last
summer’s Festival was about as
adventurous as we’ve presented,
from 12th century music drama,
17th century chamber opera to
music written in the last year by
Thomas Adès. I reveled in using our
new home to test the boundaries of
what we offer.
But, we are, after all, the Rockport
Chamber Music Festival, and at the
core of the chamber music literature
is the string quartet. We live in a
golden age of great string quartets.
Two generations ago, there were only
a handful of full-time string quartets
who toured and recorded. Today,
almost every music school has a
resident quartet and an endless supply
of students who want to form one.
I want to feature this richness in
presenting a number of different
quartets, starting with the worldrenowned Grammy-winning Emerson
String Quartet, who perform on
Opening Night.
In addition to the quartets, we will have the Boston Symphony
Chamber Players (with a beautiful new work by Yehudi Wyner),
the Claremont Trio, Imani Winds and pianists Joyce Yang and
Wendy Chen.
PARKER QUARTET
There are duo recitals by David
Finckel and Wu Han (cello/piano);
Stefan Jackiw and Anna Polonsky
(violin/piano); and Richard and Mika
Stoltzman (clarinet and marimba).
A number of mixed ensembles round
out the season, including the Boston
Early Music Festival chamber ensemble.
I look forward to soon welcoming you
to the 33rd Rockport Chamber Music
Festival!
CALDER QUARTET
BORROMEO QUARTET
In the following weeks, we will hear
some of today’s most in-demand
quartets: the Borromeo, Parker,
Shanghai and Calder. In some
programs, the quartets will be joined
by guest artists for quintets. But the
focus is largely on the genre that Papa
Haydn invented in the 18th century,
and which still preoccupies the great
composers of today. It should be a
treat for the audiences to compare
and contrast the very different styles.
THE FESTIVAL WILL HAVE A NEW
SERIES THIS SUMMER called Rising
Stars. We’ve always supported brilliant
young performers by inviting them
to play for our audiences. This new
series of three Tuesday concerts
presents dazzling artists at the
beginning of important careers: Daria
Rabotkina, piano, (who made a sensation here with her performance of
Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet Suite last
summer); the superb Neave Piano
Trio from California with a folk-inspired
program including Dvořák and
Shostakovich; and the brilliant and
fun Donald Sinta (saxophone) Quartet.
My desire was to have some concerts
priced more affordably and this
Rising Stars “trilogy” fills the bill.

encore donors: “TAKE A BOW”
BY JO FRANCES MEYER, DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT
Rockport Music’s performers are often called
back on stage for an encore by our appreciative
audience. If our donors could take a bow for their
contributions, especially our Encore Donors, they
too would be getting the applause they deserve.
Rockport Music is fortunate to have incredibly loyal donors.
“Donor retention” has become a hot topic among fundraising
professionals as the average rate for all U.S. nonprofit
organizations—large and small—hovers at approximately 40
percent, down from a high of 60 percent in past years.
Rockport Music, however, defies this trend. For the last few
years, our donor retention rate has been closer to 60 percent.
We have a special name for donors who have made a gift to the
Rockport Music Annual Fund for five years in a row or more.
They are our Encore Donors, some of whom have been giving to
our Annual Fund since the beginning of the Rockport Chamber
Music Festival in 1981. These donors are among our most
treasured!
I recently spoke to some Encore Donors to find out why they
choose to give to Rockport Music.
Marie Foss has been a volunteer since the Festival began. “They
were always looking for people to bake,” she remembers. She
helped with concessions and meeting musicians at the airport
as well as becoming a donor. “Whenever they started asking is
when I started giving.”
Encore Donors since 2008, Lois Brynes and Serena Hilsinger
moved to Rockport in 2000, but had been attending concerts
since the mid-1980’s. Lois said they “want Rockport Music to
last well into the future.”

facility” as well as supporting Rockport Music’s mission of
outreach and education.
Former Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce president Mike
Costello remembers attending the first concert at the Rockport
Art Association. “The Festival just added one more layer in the
creative juices that this place is known for.” He said even with
the support of the business community, he “never dreamed that
it would become what it is today.” An Encore Donor since 2010,
Mike says it is “my responsibility to give back.”
Lois and Serena’s favorite concert memories: “…at the Rockport
Art Association, a string quartet was playing. The windows were
open, and all of a sudden there was a cardinal perched on a
rafter! The bird started singing … and the musicians were
smiling.” At the Shalin Liu Performance Center, an audience
member called out “Double rainbow!” as he spotted one
through the signature picture window during opening remarks.
Mike’s favorite memory: A big Puccini fan — it was seeing the
MET’s Live in HD production of La Bohème in April.
Heartfelt thanks to Marie, Lois, Serena and Mike, just a few of
our cherished Encore Donors.

THEATER COMES TO THE SHALIN LIU PERFORMANCE CENTER
On August 10 Rockport Music will present its first-ever professional live theater production, Tina
Packer’s Women of Will. Here’s a quick tutorial for those as yet unaware of the brilliant, director/
actress Tina Packer. As the founder and artistic director of the legendary Shakespeare & Company
(Lenox, Mass.), Packer has directed more productions of the Bard’s work than any woman in history
and is considered one of the country’s foremost Shakespearean experts. Legendary actors from all
over the globe, including Ian McKellen, Sigourney Weaver, Richard Dreyfuss, Olympia Dukakis
and countless others, have studied under her direction. In short, Tina Packer is the Grand Dame of
Shakespeare.
The Women of Will project, for which Packer received Guggenheim and Bunting fellowships, finds
her exploring gender roles and power dynamics throughout Shakespeare’s plays. Toggling between
visceral performances and intriguing analysis, Packer sheds new light on many of the playwright’s
most familiar scenes, providing a refreshing perspective on such beloved, yet well-worn material.
Rockport Music couldn’t be happier to debut its first professional theater presentation with such
a unique and intriguing production.

finding andean music
on bearskin neck
BY STEPHANIE WOOLF, DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION AND OUTREACH
“I heard some interesting flute music over the
weekend.”
There was nothing unusual in the casual comment
made to me by Fran Pierce, a music teacher at
Rockport Elementary School. Then she added,
“…. at the Andean store on Bearskin Neck.”
It was last fall when Fran
steered me past the popular
T-shirt shops and ice cream
stands to Inkas Wasi, a store
filled with clothes, ceramics
and musical instruments
from South America. Eager
to expand Rockport Music’s
education outreach to music
of other cultures, I wanted to
check it out.
It was there I met Sergio
Espinoza, the flutist and owner
of Inkas Wasi, who is also a
classically-trained violinist.
Espinoza studied at the
National Conservatory of
Music in Lima, Peru. He
learned the traditional music
of the Andes region while
playing with his family’s music
and dance group, also known
as Inkas Wasi. The group has
toured the United States and
Europe since 1991.
A former music educator in Peru, Espinoza plays many styles
of Peruvian flute as well as the mandolin and charango. His
presentation to Rockport schools introduced students to the
enchanting melodies and captivating rhythms of the people,
and also informed them about the culture and traditions.
Espinoza and Pierce plan to teach fourth graders at Rockport
Elementary School El Condor Pasa (If I Could), a tune famously
recorded by Simon & Garfunkel. The students will perform
the song at the Family Concert to be given by Inkas Wasi on
June 14 as part of the Rockport Chamber Music Festival. The
song was written in 1913 by Peruvian composer Daniel Alomía
Robles, and is based on traditional Andean folk tunes.

attendees will have an opportunity to meet the young musicians.
The collaboration will continue next year with Rockport High School
chorus students visiting the BCC rehearsals and learning from the
excellent instruction of Artistic Director Anthony Trecek-King.
The collaboration will culminate in a concert next February.

Docents Open the Shalin Liu Performance Center to Public
When the Shalin Liu Performance Center opened, it
quickly commanded attention. The elegance of the
architecture — with front windows that look through
the building to the water — and the arrival of a new
spectacular concert hall, proved to be an irresistible
combination. So, it was not surprising that many
people wanted to take a peek.
In your experience, what aspects of the Shalin Liu Performance
Center do people get most excited or curious about?
It never fails that when we have the front doors open, at least five
people stop during the two hours we are open and say, “OH MY
GOD!!!! This is gorgeous!” So many visitors are initially interested
in the hall, but end up being very curious about Rockport Music
itself and our programs, especially, the ubiquitous “Are there any
tickets for tonight’s performance?” question. Now that we have
online ticketing (and a mobile app by the beginning of the summer),
that question will be easier to answer.
In response, Rockport Music began the
Docent Program, a community-minded
initiative to help inform the curious public
about our magnificent Shalin Liu Performance
Center. It expands this summer from its
previous three days a week to welcome
visitors five days a week.
I think there are two frequently asked
questions. The first one is about the walls of
the performance hall and the second is about
how the hall came to be named the Shalin
Liu Performance Center (it was named for a
significant donor). People are also curious
about the window at the back of the stage as
well as if the hall is available for rentals (and,
it certainly is!).
We recently talked with Pamela Bynum, who
manages as a volunteer the Docent Program
and its 15 volunteer docents.

confront it through art is not the same thing as facing one’s own death, but the
aesthetic experience helps us grapple with this most difficult of transitions:
somehow we are left more hopeful about life, as well as saddened by the
thought of its end.”
Rockport Music and the Board of
Trustees were extremely saddened
when Trustee Peter D. Bell died at
age 73 this past April after a fivemonth battle with cancer. A native
of Gloucester as well as an
internationally-known humanitarian
leader, Peter possessed a profound sense of
integrity and compassion that guided his work
and inspired others. Having devoted his career
to fighting poverty, advancing human rights and
preventing violent conflict around the world, he
also cared deeply about his local community and
served with distinction as a member of the Rockport
Music Board of Trustees from 2011-14.
Deveau notes, "This is not a frothy ‘gala’ style program, but rather a serious
offering. The Emerson has been devoting much time to the late quartets of
Shostakovich this season… And the Schubert? One of his most intense and
dramatic compositions.”
Of the quartet’s musical style, Deveau says, “An unusual aspect is that the
violinists alternate playing the first and second parts and they, as well as the
violist, stand in concert. Their style of playing is uniquely beautiful, with a blended
sound, but one that allows the four individual 'voices' to be heard distinctly.”
For Drucker, to perform in Rockport will be a first and a repeat. He and his
wife, cellist Roberta Cooper, played at the Festival more than 20 years ago and
he looks forward to returning with the Emerson String Quartet.
“In the late '80s, Roberta and I sensed the tremendous potential for growth in
the Festival; in that context, it will be particularly rewarding for me to play at
the new Shalin Liu Performance Center.”
The Rockport Music Board of Trustees extends its
deepest sympathies to Peter’s wife, Karen, and
family, and is pleased to dedicate the Friday,
July 11, 5 pm performance of Chanticleer to
Peter’s memory.
