| Benjamin and Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center: Mead Theatre, Dayton, OH, 1 West 2nd St, Dayton, 45402, United States Thursday 23-Sep-10 08:00pm Fire & Ocean Your classical passage for this concert begins and concludes with two Beethoven overtures, both written for the same opera: Beethoven’s Fidelio. In between, we visit far-flung Finland for one of the most revered violin concertos in the romantic repertory. Fiery soloist Vadim Gluzman returns to our stage to delve into Sibelius’s passionate masterpiece. You’ll return by ocean voyage via Debussy’s impressionistic tone poem La Mer. Beethoven is the focus of the September 24th Classical Connections concert as well as a concert presentation of Fidelio, performed in collaboration with the Dayton Opera. | ||

Benjamin and Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center: Mead Theatre, Dayton, OH Demirjian Classical Connections Series: Beethoven: The Fidelio Overtures |
|
| ||
| Benjamin and Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center: Mead Theatre, Dayton, OH, 1 West 2nd St, Dayton, 45402, United States Friday 24-Sep-10 08:00pm Demirjian Classical Connections Series: Beethoven: The Fidelio Overtures In this unique series, Music Director Neal Gittleman presents their stories and music by word, example, and a full performance of a major work or group of works. Our first connecting flight takes us to Vienna following the French Revolution. From this time of great social upheaval comes Beethoven’s only opera, Fidelio, featuring its central themes of freedom and heroism. Beethoven earned his self-described “martyr’s crown” for the struggles he endured in his quest for perfection. Neal tells this fascinating story of the evolution of the four different overtures written for Fidelio. | ||

| ||
| Benjamin and Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center: Mead Theatre, Dayton, OH, 1 West 2nd St, Dayton, 45402, United States Friday 5-Nov-10 08:00pm Chopin's Circle: Evening One On this, the 200th anniversary year of Frédéric Chopin’s birth, we are marking the occasion with a unique pair of concerts. Normally, a weekend’s classical program repeats for both nights, but not this time! We welcome renowned Chopin advocate and gifted pianist Janina Fialkowska for two different programs on the same weekend. Each evening will open with a work written by a composer of Chopin’s era, followed by a solo piano mini-recital, given by the marvelous Ms. Fialkowska. After intermission, Chopin’s two piano concertos will be featured, one on each evening. Chopin, Fryderyk Franciszek (1810-1849), Solo Piano Works Schumann, Robert (1810-1856), Solo Piano Works | ||

| Benjamin and Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center: Mead Theatre, Dayton, OH, 1 West 2nd St, Dayton, 45402, United States Saturday 6-Nov-10 08:00pm Chopin's Circle: Evening Two Then, on the second evening of our Chopin celebration, Neal opens with Liszt’s Les Preludes. Like Berlioz’s overture the evening before, it’s an apt crowd-pleaser meant to transport you to the Romantic Era, a time so important to the development of Chopin’s art. Janina follows with a minirecital that shows the artistic crosscurrents between the solo piano works of Chopin and Mendelssohn (much like Friday evening when she contrasts Schumann’s solo works with Chopin’s). The program concludes with the Polish master’s Piano Concerto No. 1 (actually written after his Concerto No. 2). Chopin, Fryderyk Franciszek (1810-1849), Solo Piano Works Mendelssohn, Felix (1809-1847), Solo Piano Works | ||

They’ll return with a new Beatles songbook that spans the Liverpool days right up to Let It Be. Because of the musical skills possessed by the Beatles, and George Martin’s sensitivity to and use of classical textures, expect a terrific melding of rock and orchestra.

| ||
| Benjamin and Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center: Mead Theatre, Dayton, OH, 1 West 2nd St, Dayton, 45402, United States Friday 7-Jan-11 08:00pm Titanic Brahms, Vibrant Liebermann Here, you’ll find the works of three very different composers, each a visionary exhibiting Romantic Era influences but refracted through their distinct personalities. In the Tristan Prelude & Liebestod, Wagner joins the beginning and end of his greatest opera, a story of powerful, forbidden love and unimaginable passion. Lowell Liebermann’s Concerto for Trumpet & Orchestra balances lyricism, wit, and a sense of adventure. In Johannes Brahms's Symphony No. 4, the Viennese master bridges classical and romantic worlds to create what many consider his magnum opus. | ||

| Benjamin and Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center: Mead Theatre, Dayton, OH, 1 West 2nd St, Dayton, 45402, United States Friday 21-Jan-11 08:00pm Demirjian Classical Connections Series; Bach: A Musical Offering In this unique series, Music Director Neal Gittleman presents their stories and music by word, example, and a full performance of a major work or group of works. We jump back in time to May 7, 1747 for a meeting in Potsdam between J.S. Bach and Frederick the Great. The King, in a capricious mood, challenges Bach to improvise a six-voice fugue on an insanely complex theme. Neal shows how Bach met — and exceeded — the challenge and turned the royal theme into A Musical Offering, one of his most noble, awe-inspiring creations. | ||

Then, we’re off to Salzburg, in the year 1774, to eavesdrop on a teenage Mozart who is already crafting symphonies of grace and beauty. To close, the DPO conquers an orchestral pinnacle with Ein Heldenleben (A Hero’s Life) by Richard Strauss. The music portrays a triumphant hero’s victorious odyssey. Who’s the hero of the story? Strauss himself, of course! The Classical Connections concert on February 11th will feature Strauss and this major orchestral work. | ||

Join Neal as he takes this huge work apart and reassembles it right in front of your very eyes and ears. The Orchestra is really looking forward to performing this work and you’ll find out why! | ||

Premiered out of town in 2009 under Neal’s baton, Michael Daugherty’s exciting electric guitar concerto now comes to our stage. Inspired by the quilting community of Gee’s Bend, Alabama, this music takes you from rock to blues to classical and back again. Gee’s Bend is the subject of the March 25th Classical Connections (page 9).

The local count, learning of Mozart’s arrival, lost no time announcing a concert in his honor. Upon which, Wolfgang whipped up this little four-day marvel. Astounding. Baroque master Bach is masterfully represented here by DPO principal players Jessica Hung and Kirstin Greenlaw. | ||

Nestled between the intensity of the first two symphonies and the austerity of his later works, its mood is good-natured and triumphal. The program’s spotlight also finds Aurelian Oprea performing Haydn’s elegant Violin Concerto No. 1. | ||

| Benjamin and Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center: Mead Theatre, Dayton, OH, 1 West 2nd St, Dayton, 45402, United States Friday 13-May-11 08:00pm Bernstein's Mass On September 8, 1971, a remarkable chapter opened in the history of American music. An amazing work, commissioned by Jacqueline Kennedy, premiered at the opening of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington DC. Composed by Leonard Bernstein and entitled MASS: A Theatre Piece for Singers, Players, and Dancers, it turned out to be Lenny’s most complex and original creation. Two years later, MASS was premiered in Europe (Vienna) by the Yale Symphony Orchestra. In the orchestra pit was young violinist and Yale student, Neal Gittleman. Using orchestra, chorus, children’s chorus, rock and blues bands, marching band, singers, dancers, and actors, Bernstein tells the powerful story of a group of disillusioned street people who join a visionary leader for a moving voyage of discovery and faith. This groundbreaking creative collaboration between the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra and the Wright State University Theatre, Dance and Music Departments promises to be the regional performance event of the season, if not the decade. | ||
