| Kimmel Center for Performing Arts, Verizon Hall, Philadelphia, PA, Philadelphia, PA 19102, United States Thursday 7-Oct-10 08:00pm Philadelphia Orchestra In a program highlighting music's connection to other art forms, Maestro Dutoit pairs Prokofiev's Shakespeare-inspired ballet music for Romeo and Juliet with a piece by the timeless French composer, Henri Dutilleux, that takes Vincent van Gogh's painting Starry Night as a point of departure. With its striking use of 12 cellos at the front of the stage, this remarkably effective piece is part of a season-long celebration of Dutilleux's music and builds on the tradition of Ravel and Debussy and their inspiration from French Impressionist painters. The soloist for Liszt's First Concerto is American pianist Jeremy Denk in his Philadelphia Orchestra subscription and Carnegie Hall orchestral debuts, whose playing has been described by the New York Times as "bracing, effortlessly virtuosic and utterly joyous." Winner of an Avery Fisher Career Grant, Denk has taken an unconventional route to the top of the piano world, through partnerships with prominent musicians, commissions from leading composers, and with a celebrated blog, Think Denk. | ||

| Kimmel Center for Performing Arts, Verizon Hall, Philadelphia, PA, Philadelphia, PA 19102, United States Thursday 21-Oct-10 08:00pm Philadelphia Orchestra In rare dual Philadelphia Orchestra subscription debuts, Russian-born conductor Semyon Bychkov and French violinist Renaud Capuçon continue the Orchestra's multi-concert celebration of the music of the great French composer Henri Dutilleux with a performance of a concerto commissioned by the late Isaac Stern. Coupled with Dutilleux's otherworldly concerto ("Tree of Dreams") are Ravel's neoclassic homage to his great French forebear François Couperin ("le Grand") and Dvorák's sunny Eighth Symphony, written at the composer's Bohemian summer-home and imbued with the spirit of the Czech countryside. The dashing Capuçon plays the same 1737 Guarneri del Gesù violin ("Panette") once owned by Stern. The Los Angeles Times has described his playing as "straightforward, unsentimental, yet beautifully shaded, surmounting all technical barriers with unshowy ease." | ||

| Kimmel Center for Performing Arts, Verizon Hall, Philadelphia, PA, Philadelphia, PA 19102, United States Friday 29-Oct-10 08:00pm Philadelphia Orchestra Montreal-born Yannick Nézet-Séguin makes his third Philadelphia Orchestra subscription appearance with milestone symphonies by two Viennese masters working a century apart. Haydn's "Military," so named because of its trumpet-and-drum fanfare in the second movement, finds apt foil in Mahler's mighty Fifth, whose march-like first movement is said to echo the composer's childhood memories of bugle calls and military bands in his native Moravia. Currently principal conductor of the Rotterdam Philharmonic and principal guest conductor of the London Philharmonic, Nézet-Séguin is winner of a 2009 Royal Philharmonic Society Young Artist of the Year Award. At his 2009 appearance with The Philadelphia Orchestra, the Philadelphia Inquirer praised his "coloristically astute, emotionally anchored performance," and wrote that he "became the hero of his own concert by ceding the spotlight to all around him, making them look terrific." | ||

| Kimmel Center for Performing Arts, Verizon Hall, Philadelphia, PA, Philadelphia, PA 19102, United States Thursday 4-Nov-10 08:00pm Philadelphia Orchestra Dutch-born conductor Jaap van Zweden, music director of the Dallas Symphony, leads The Philadelphia Orchestra in Rachmaninoff's Second Symphony, a deeply Russian piece that has been a favorite among local audiences since November 1909--when the composer himself led its Philadelphia Orchestra premiere, the first in a long series of performances with the Orchestra. Korean-born Han-Na Chang, who at the age of 11 won the Rostropovich International Cello Competition, joins Maestro van Zweden in Haydn's lyrical C-major Cello Concerto, likely written for Joseph Weigl, the capable cellist of Haydn's Esterházy court orchestra. The program opens with Dutch-born composer Johan Wagenaar's concert overture inspired by Edmond Rostand's 1897 play Cyrano de Bergerac--a piece whose orchestral dazzle points to the influence of Richard Strauss's tone poems. | ||

| Kimmel Center for Performing Arts, Verizon Hall, Philadelphia, PA, Philadelphia, PA 19102, United States Thursday 11-Nov-10 08:00pm Philadelphia Orchestra In her Philadelphia Orchestra subscription debut, Orchestra Principal Horn Jennifer Montone presents a rare performance of Strauss's Second Horn Concerto, the first ever by the Orchestra. This wistful homage to the composer's late father, principal horn for the Munich Court Orchestra for nearly 50 years, was written during the composer's last years and is imbued with a retrospective character that contrasts sharply with the buoyant mood of the First Concerto he wrote at age 17. Max Reger's playful variations on Mozart's "Alla Turca" Piano Sonata present a more light-hearted look at nostalgia and tribute. Spanish-born veteran Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, artistic director of the Dresden Philharmonic and a favorite of local audiences since his American debut with The Philadelphia Orchestra in 1969, bookends the program with two great moments from opera, Weber's brilliant Overture to Oberon and the effervescent Suite from Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier. | ||

Kavakos, who recently toured Europe with The Philadelphia Orchestra and former Music Director Christoph Eschenbach, has been dubbed "The Violinist of Violinists" by the Strad. Frühbeck, artistic director of the Dresden Philharmonic, has been a favorite locally since his sensational American debut with The Philadelphia Orchestra in 1969. He sets the Tchaikovsky Concerto against the Overture to Mikhail Glinka's bubbling nationalistic opera Ruslan and Lyudmila and Bartók's virtuosic Concerto for Orchestra from 1945, a piece whose assertive brilliance and orchestral mastery reveal little of the composer's tragic poverty and illness during the last months of his life. | ||

Noseda's performances of the Beethoven symphonies with the BBC Philharmonic generated 1.4 million downloads in a special BBC Radio 3 trial offering called The Beethoven Experience. He opens the program with a tone poem composed during Sibelius's Swedish years and concludes with two beloved Respighi showpieces that use sheer sonic brilliance to pay homage to Italy's "Eternal City." The Fountains of Rome celebrates the waterworks that Respighi said represent "the very voice of the city"--from the pastoral Valle Giulia fountain to the resplendent Trevi Fountain at midday. The even more ambitious Roman Festivals traces a cycle of the city's religious and pagan feasts, culminating in the clangorous Festival of the Epiphany at the Piazza Navona. | ||

His Piano Concerto receives its Philadelphia Orchestra premiere in the hands of the pianist and the conductor for whom it was composed, Jean-Yves Thibaudet and Atlanta Symphony Music Director Robert Spano. Of all the musical compositions inspired by Shakespeare's The Tempest, few have been as unjustly neglected as the incidental music Sibelius produced for a 1926 Copenhagen production. It was one of his last compositions and a crowning achievement, containing all the dark subtlety of the bard's mysterious drama. Concluding the program is Sibelius's turbulent Fifth Symphony, composed while World War I raged and first performed on Sibelius's 50th birthday in 1915. | ||

| Kimmel Center for Performing Arts, Verizon Hall, Philadelphia, PA, Philadelphia, PA 19102, United States Thursday 13-Jan-11 08:00pm Philadelphia Orchestra Bruckner's most beloved symphony is the centerpiece of this program by guest conductor Donald Runnicles, who holds top posts at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, the BBC Scottish Symphony, and the Grand Teton Music Festival. This masterpiece of contrasts was composed under the spell of the music of Richard Wagner, an increasingly potent influence for Bruckner through the 1880s. Its chorale-like final coda using four Wagner tubas was written shortly after Bruckner learned of "the Master's" death in 1882. Maestro Runnicles is joined by Philadelphia Orchestra Concertmaster David Kim and First Associate Concertmaster Juliette Kang in Bach's Concerto for Two Violins, whose intricately intertwined solo parts create a sense of perfect equals. The program opens with Estonian composer Arvo Pärt's Collage über B-A-C-H, an economical but powerful tribute to J.S. Bach with outer portions based on the composer's initials and a breathtaking, if whimsical, central movement that pays cockeyed homage to the Sarabande from the composer's English Suite No. 6. | ||

| Kimmel Center for Performing Arts, Verizon Hall, Philadelphia, PA, Philadelphia, PA 19102, United States Thursday 20-Jan-11 08:00pm Philadelphia Orchestra Few living composers write as powerfully for orchestra as Christopher Rouse, whom Musical America named its Composer of the Year in 2009. "One of the few whose music will last," runs the now-famous quote by fellow composer John Adams. Philadelphia Orchestra Principal Oboe Richard Woodhams teams with New York Philharmonic Music Director Alan Gilbert for The Philadelphia Orchestra premiere of Rouse's Oboe Concerto, a piece the composer says he tried to imbue with a "feeling of coloristic romanticism." Gilbert also leads the piece with which he opened his New York Philharmonic tenure in September 2009--the extroverted EXPO by the Finnish composer Magnus Lindberg, whom the Los Angeles Times called "a musical wild man, a kinetic composer who is both a harmonically sophisticated and flamboyant noisemaker." Beethoven's "Pastoral" Symphony concludes the program, with its tender, dramatic depiction of a day in the Austrian countryside. | ||

| Kimmel Center for Performing Arts, Verizon Hall, Philadelphia, PA, Philadelphia, PA 19102, United States Thursday 27-Jan-11 08:00pm Philadelphia Orchestra The British conductor Jonathan Nott has been praised for his detailed and sophisticated interpretations of a wide range of music. For his Philadelphia Orchestra debut he partners with German-born Swiss pianist Andreas Haefliger in Bartók's sparking, coloristic Third Concerto, penned during the composer's final weeks and given its world premiere after his death by pianist György Sándor and The Philadelphia Orchestra. Of the soloist for the piece, the Independent wrote that "there seems to be no limit to the resources of Haefliger's touch." The program concludes with Schubert's magisterial "Great" Symphony, a pillar of the repertoire that was all but lost until Robert Schumann stumbled across it in 1837, among manuscripts in the home of the late Schubert's brother, Ferdinand. | ||
