In a frenetic world where there never seems time 'to stop and stare', this evening of song celebrates the art of contemplation and what it means to be alive. Drawing inspiration from the poetry of the Romantics to the present day the programme will reflect 'On Man, On Nature and On Human Life'.

Two of the world’s most distinguished pianists – Emanuel Ax and Jean-Yves Thibaudet – join the reigning virtuoso of the violin Itzhak Perlman and the “endlessly agile” (The New York Times) Juilliard String Quartet for an evening of exceptional chamber music.

Chausson and Fauré, along with Saint-Saëns, Henri Duparc, and Emmanuel Chabrier, were founding members of the Société Nationale de Musique. Their goal was to promote new works that embraced a true French style, moving away from German influences, especially in chamber music.

The composers of the concert are harmonious opposites to each other : 18th -century Viennese Mozart, a symbol of classical perfection and clarity, and his counterpart 19th-century Parisian Chausson , an extreme example of melancholic and dramatic romanticism that knows no bounds.

Chamber Music 2024 Concert 2

It is a popular romantic theme: the fine line between genius and madness. In Beethoven’s case, all one needs to do is look at the portrait of the agitated artist with tangled hair and crazy eyes, who jots his notes down on paper in a manic creative frenzy and in the face of impending deafness. Wolf was hospitalized twice – and died in the clinic. When Schumann was admitted to Endenich, “melancholy with delusion” was noted as a diagnosis in the admission book. And the Italian Renaissance prince Carlo Gesualdo was not only a gifted composer, but very probably also a murderer. In the chromatic descent at the end of his madrigal, we seem to hear the agony of a guilty man tormented by remorse. The result? Insanely brilliant music!

Anne-Marie McDermott, “a pianist who balances qualities of excitement and spontaneity with clarity and elegance” (New York Times), reunites with the SPCO for the first time since their fruitful collaboration at the 2022 Bravo! Vail Music Festival in Colorado. McDermott will lead the orchestra once again in a world premiere of Chris Rogerson’s Samaa', a new expansion of his work by the same name that was previously recorded in Colorado. Two chamber works by French composers showcase the piano in chamber ensembles — an impressionistic concerto with strings by Ernest Chausson and a sextet with winds by Francis Poulenc that pendulates between liveliness and elegy.

South Korean pianist Yunchan Lim — the youngest person ever to win the gold medal in the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition — joins returning guest conductor Tugan Sokhiev to perform one of the greatest, most popular, and most virtuosic works in the repertoire: Rachmaninoff’s Concerto No. 3, which the composer himself played with the BSO in 1919 and 1935. Sokhiev also leads a rare gem of a piece: French composer Ernest Chausson’s passionate one and only symphony. The Symphony in B-flat (1890) was a favorite of former BSO Music Director Charles Munch, and the BSO last performed it in 1993.

This Express Concert features SPCO violinist Maureen Nelson as the soloist in Ernest Chausson’s beloved Poème. One moment brooding and mysterious, the next brilliant and sweeping, this work was inspired by “The Song of Triumphant Love,” a short story by the Russian novelist, Ivan Turgenev, about two young men who fall in love with the same woman — a perfect recipe for drama! This version has been arranged for the orchestra by SPCO Principal Horn James Ferree. When Pekka Kuusisto led Louis Farrenc’s Third Symphony a few years ago, the orchestra fell in love with it and has been eager to tackle this bold and exciting masterwork in its signature unconducted fashion.

“The roar of the waves drowns out my sighs / Who knows if this cruel sea will lead her to my heart again?” No one does romance quite like the French, and Chausson’s ‘Poem of love and the sea’ is strong stuff – an incredible musical journey for Domingo Hindoyan and superstar soprano Sonya Yoncheva. Add a dash of Wagner at his most sensuous, plus the sunshine and folksong of Dvořák’s happiest symphony, and things are about to get emotional.

Music inspired by geologic time and the sea bookend Chausson’s lush and sensuous Poème featuring Dorothy DeLay Prize Winner Luna Choi.

An Atlas of Deep Time by John Luther Adams was inspired by his “desire, amid the turbulence of human affairs, to hear the older, deeper resonances of the earth… Like the geologic layers of rocks beneath our feet, the densities and textures, the instrumental and harmonic colors are always changing, yet somehow the substance always seems to be the same… The earth is 4 billion 570 million years old. An Atlas of Deep Time lasts roughly 46 minutes, which equates to about 100 million years per minute. At that tempo, the entire history of the human family is represented in the dying reverberations of the last 25 milliseconds of this music.”

Ludwig van Beethoven's sixth symphony was named by the composer himself as the "Pastoral Symphony", as he described his love for the countryside in it. Ernest Chausson's romantic song cycle Poème de l'amour et de la mer (Poem of Love and the Sea) describes both the flowers of the sea and the death of love, and in Jean Sibelius's dance intermezzo the shepherd god Pan's hunt for the mountain nymph Echo is set to music. Roberto Gonzalés-Monjas leads the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Italian baritone Andrè Schuen in this concert where the love for and in nature is the focus.
