Now begins one of Chicago’s most festive times of year. As the temperature drops, our spirits rise, uplifted by the wonderful music that fills Symphony Center.

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra welcomes two talented conductors in their subscription series debuts: Thomas Søndergård of Denmark and Edward Gardner of Great Britain. In addition to their CSO concerts in Orchestra Hall, Søndergård leads the Orchestra in its first of three appearances at Wheaton College’s Edman Memorial Chapel this season, and Gardner conducts the Civic Orchestra of Chicago in its second concert of the season. Concertmaster Robert Chen leads the CSO in an all-Mozart program, and beloved films come to the Armour Stage with performances of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on the CSO at the Movies series.

Symphony Center Presents welcomes three world- renowned vocal ensembles: the Soweto Gospel Choir, Vienna Boys Choir, and Chanticleer. French pianist Cédric Tiberghien commemorates the 100th anniversary

of the end of World War I with a program of works by Scriabin, Debussy, and Hindemith, among others, composed between 1914 and 1918. The Negaunee Music Institute, in its centennial season of concerts for young people, welcomes children of all ages to Orchestra Hall. MusicNOW, the CSO’s contemporary music series, presents its second concert featuring works by composers with Chicago roots.

This is also a season for giving and expressing gratitude. Your generosity makes you part of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association’s ongoing pursuit of artistic excellence, innovative educational and community programs, and incred-ible performances here in Chicago and around the world. Please consider sup-porting the CSOA by making a gift to the Annual Fund. Your support sustains the ongoing legacy of programs that engage more than 450,000 people each year in life-changing musical experiences.

We thank you for your presence and support and send our warmest wishes for a happy holiday season.

W ith three successful operas to her credit and many other works that have been performed by artists ranging from the

JACK Quartet to the Los Angeles Philharmonic, New York–based composer Missy Mazzoli has established herself as one of contemporary music’s most original voices. “She is among the more consistently inventive, surprising composers now working in New York,” wrote New York Times critic Steve Smith in 2009, and the assertion seems even truer nearly ten years later.

Her latest milestone came in July when Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti named her the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s new Mead Composer-in-Residence, an appointment that continues through 2020. “They called me really out of the blue,” Mazzoli said, “and I was delighted. The Chicago Symphony has such an amazing history, and it’s so prestigious, and it sounds so good—one of the best orchestras I’ve ever heard in my entire life—so there was no doubt in my mind that I was going to say ‘yes.’ ”

The composer is excited that her duties include curating the repertoire for MusicNOW, the CSO’s

annual four-concert, contemporary music series presented at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance that fea-tures chamber works performed by Orchestra members and guest artists. “I’ve always wanted to curate,” she said. “I’ve always had so many ideas in my back pocket about who I would champion, given the chance. So this opportunity is a perfect fit for that.”

In addition, Mazzoli will collaborate with the CSO’s Negaunee Music Institute and the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, its training ensemble for preprofessional musicians, and provide artis-tic guidance for the Orchestra’s contemporary music programming as well as other collabora-tions and special events. The appointment also includes commissions for a work that the CSO will premiere during the 2019–20 season as well as

a second piece for MusicNOW. “Because I’ve been so immersed in opera,” she said, “I really welcome the chance to get back into orchestral writing and create something new for the Orchestra.”

A native of Lansdale, Pennsylvania, a town twenty-eight miles northwest of Philadelphia, Mazzoli grew up in a

non-musical family and had little exposure to classical music. A key early influence was her childhood piano teacher, Kirsten Olson. “She was super-excited about music,” the composer said, “and that was what I needed at that time.”

Around the age of ten, Mazzoli began writing music as an outgrowth of playing the piano and soon envisioned composition as a possible career, but it was not always an easy path. “Growing up in a rural environment, being in love with classical music, playing piano, and writing music was very much an outsider activity,” she said. It also didn’t help that she lacked female role models, because virtually all the celebrated composers were men. “I feel rebellious in expressing my love for the classical tradition,” she said. “I’m not someone who was born into that. It was sort of a fight for me to be accepted as a classical musician and as a serious composer.”

As a child, her compositional hero was Beethoven. “That’s what I had access to,” she said. “If you are growing up in the middle of Pennsylvania without people around you who are classical musicians, that’s the classical music that you hear.” Later, she fell in love with Stravinsky. When she moved to Massachusetts to attend Boston University, she discovered the mini-malists and Michael Gordon, David Lang, and Julia Wolfe, the groundbreaking composers who founded the New York musical collective Bang on a Can. “They all had a huge impact on me,” she said.

Another important influence has been Meredith Monk, a multidisciplinary artist who explores a range of unorthodox vocal techniques. When Mazzoli was a teenager, someone gave her an album of Monk’s music. “That changed my life,” Mazzoli said.

Mead Composer-in-Residence Missy Mazzoli outlines three goals for her first MusicNOW season:

spotlight composers new to the series

Almost every composer represented this season is new to MusicNOW. Finding previously unprogrammed talents “was hard because MusicNOW goes back twenty years, so there have been a ton of amazing composers,” she said. “But for my first year, I wanted to show-case new people.” Mazzoli has programmed sixteen different composers for MusicNOW’s 2018–19 season; ten are women.

focus on chicago composers

Mazzoli places an emphasis on Chicago composers—either ones based here or ones with roots in the city. The November 19 pro-gram, for example, features four up-and-coming local composers: Drew Baker, Suzanne Farrin, Morgan Krauss, and Sky Macklay.

promote women composers

She also wanted to feature women such as Nicole Lizée, Sky Macklay, and Kate Moore, who previously have not had an opportunity to work with a major American symphony orchestra. Working with composer Ellen Reid and the Kaufman Music Center in New York, Mazzoli recently established Luna Composition Lab, a mentoring program for aspiring female com-posers ages 13–19. “I try to be a role model to other people because my role models—people like Meredith Monk, Julia Wolfe, and Jennifer Hidgon—changed my life.”

6 cso.org

In addition to her studies at Boston University and the Yale School of Music, Mazzoli ventured to the Netherlands, spending two years at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague with composer Louis Andriessen. “That was life-changing, because he attracted a whole group of students from around the world,” she said. Now, at seventy-nine, the Dutch composer exerts much the same kind of influence as French pedagogue Nadia Boulanger on earlier generations of American composers, including Aaron Copland and Philip Glass.

Along with creating works for artists and ensembles, Mazzoli followed in the footsteps of such contemporary composers as Glass, Monk, and Steve Reich, and formed her own touring ensemble, Victoire, in 2008. The group, in which she serves as keyboardist, has given her more con-trol over how her music is heard and perceived. “I wanted to be planning shows,” she said. “I wanted to be going on tour. I wanted to be making albums. I wanted to take the best of pop music, the indie-band touring life, and classical music, and combine them.” Victoire has performed around the world, including a 2010 concert in Millennium Park, and released three albums, including one with Glenn Kotche, a percussionist with the Chicago-based band Wilco. The second, entitled Cathedral City, was named one of the best classical albums of 2010 by National Public Radio and publications such as New York magazine and The New York Times.

Like many composers, Mazzoli struggles to define her musical language. “I’m very comfort-able with the word ‘classical,’ and I’m very com-fortable with the word ‘composer,’ ” said Mazzoli. She describes her compositional style as classical music influenced by indie rock, electronica, and

ambient music. “I just try to throw all the words out there,” she said with a chuckle, “and hope that one of them grabs somebody and inspires them to listen.”

F or the past six years, Mazzoli has been primarily immersed in the world of opera. Her third, Proving Up, premiered earlier

this year at Washington National Opera; its third presentation took place in September at Columbia University’s Miller Theatre. “It’s incredible and rare to have three performances of an opera in its debut year,” she said. The opera addresses “the harsh realities of the American Dream, about the role of fate in our destinies, and also about people who are erased from history,” a timely theme, given the fraught political landscape of the last two years. She is already at work on her fourth and fifth operas—neither of which she was able to discuss, as the details of each have yet to be announced.

Her two first operas resulted from opportuni-ties that she simply could not ignore. The first, a multimedia work entitled Song from the Uproar, was supported by Beth Morrison Projects and produced in 2012 at the Kitchen, an alternative arts venue in New York. The Los Angeles Opera subsequently staged it in 2015, and the Cincinnati Opera in 2016–17.

Based on the success of that first effort in the form, she was named composer-in-residence at

the Opera Company of Philadelphia in 2012–15, a posi-tion that she called a “crash course in

opera and an immersion in that world.” As a result of the appointment was Mazzoli’s second opera, Breaking the Waves, an adaptation of Lars von Trier’s movie of the same title. Royce Vavrek, who has worked with her on all three of her operas, served as the librettist. After its 2016 premiere in Philadelphia, the work was named that year’s best new opera by the Music Critics Association of North America. In Opera News magazine, music critic David Shengold wrote that Breaking the Waves “stands among the best twenty-first–century American operas yet produced.”

“I never set out to become an opera com-poser, but I felt like I should go for these oppor-tunities,” Mazzoli said. “When I was working in

Philadelphia, I just kept having these epiphanies that this was where I was supposed to be.” She loves the collaborative and immersive aspects of the form, and she enjoys using musical devices to delve into the psychology of each charac-ter. “Looking back, opera was a natural fit for everything I’m interested in, but it was really these two opportunities that resulted in my first and second operas, and solidified my love for the genre.” Mazzoli embraces her new role with CSO with the same energy. “I am truly honored and energized by this opportunity, and I look for-ward to connecting with the CSO and the broader Chicago community.”

Diane Mues Viola

Describe the musical role of the viola in the orchestra.We are among the unsung heroes of the orchestra because the viola is not traditionally a solo instrument. We’re there to provide color, harmony, rhythm, and an interesting inner voice. When the viola is featured, it always feels like a special occasion.

Describe the experience of being a member of your section.This viola section has always been very strong, easy to work with, and personable. We have some good dinner parties, which we need to schedule more

of to welcome our more recent members. With all the newcom-ers, I’m seeing different tech-niques and styles of playing, so I feel that I’m constantly learn-ing—also from the colleagues I’ve played with these thirty-one years. Everyone is very tal-ented and brings a unique set of strengths to the Orchestra.

What is one of your favorite CSO memories?In April 1997, Mstislav Rostropovich conducted our last concert before a major Orchestra Hall renovation and spoke at a special onstage ceremony. He got down on his hands and knees and kissed

the floor—the actual boards—in honor of all who had come before and performed on that stage. That was the kind of rev-erence he had for music and the importance of time and place.

What message would you like to share with the audience?Over the years, from my view on the stage, I see many of the same faces. Some peo-ple come to every concert or every week, it seems. I don’t know whether they realize how much they mean to us, but we notice and greatly appreciate their enthusiasm.

meet the musicians

Yuan-Qing Yu Assistant Concertmaster

Who is your favorite composer to perform?If I had to name one composer, it would be Brahms. I find that he has this expansiveness—the complexity of the harmonies, the extremely beautiful mel-odies. With this orchestra, we really get great sound out of his pieces. His music is both per-sonal and passionate, but there is also a certain modesty in it that always touches me.

Describe your chamber music activities.I think chamber music is essential for our musician-ship because it gives you more autonomy than the orchestral setting and the opportunity for close collaboration with your colleagues. I founded a non-profit with my friends called Civitas Ensemble* because not only do I love working with them and exploring the cham-ber music repertoire, but I am also passionate about bringing

music to people who cannot access it easily. We perform in the community, in hospitals and senior living facilities, as well as in standard concert venues. This part has been very reward-ing for me personally, and for my colleagues.

What message would you like to share with the audience?I notice people, especially the regulars in the first couple of rows. I enjoy seeing their interactions with each other and appreciate their interaction with us; I like that commu-nal feel. There’s one particular gentleman who comes to every single performance. Music must mean so much to him to come three or four times to hear the same program—he really impresses me!

*Civitas Ensemble will perform on February 13, 2019 at 7 p.m., in an All-Access Chamber Music concert at Orchestra Hall.

From the Civic Orchestra of Chicago to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra: 100 seasonsSince 1919, young artists have sought membership in the Civic Orchestra of Chicago to develop their talents and prepare for careers as professional musicians. Founded by Frederick Stock, second music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Civic Orchestra is the only season-long training orchestra of its kind affiliated with a major American orchestra.

The then Civic Music Student Orchestra was intended to func-tion as a means “to reduce the dependence of this country upon European sources of supply for trained orchestral musicians” as well as a reserve from which talent could be drawn into the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Five hundred young musicians auditioned in January 1920, eighty-six were accepted, and the ensemble made its debut on March 29. Frederick Stock, assistant conductor Eric DeLamarter, and CSO violin and viola George Dasch shared conducting duties, leading works by Elgar, Godard, Grieg, Halvorsen, Keller, and Tchaikovsky in this first concert.

The Civic Orchestra’s first roster in 1919–20 included several future Chicago Symphony Orchestra members, among them cello Theodore Ratzer, hired by Stock in 1920 and a member of the sec-tion until 1957. Currently, fourteen Chicago Symphony Orchestra musicians are Civic Orchestra alumni.

The program’s unique access to the CSO through immersive experiences with its musi-cians and some of today’s most sought-after conductors—including the CSO’s Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti—helps many Civic alumni go on to prestigious professional positions. Each season there are side-by-side rehearsals, coaching sessions, mock auditions, and private lessons with CSO musicians; reading sessions with guest conductors; career development workshops; master classes with CSO guest artists as opportu-nities arise; and numerous opportunities through-out the season to play chamber music.

Civic Orchestra musicians develop as excep-tional orchestral players and engaged artists, culti-vating their ability to succeed in the rapidly evolv-ing world of music in the twenty-first century.

CSOA’s Annual Symphony Ball October 6, 2018On the evening of October 6, Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti conducted the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s annual Symphony Ball concert. The program, supported by pre-senting sponsor Northern Trust, included four of Brahms’s Hungarian Dances, Puccini’s intermezzo from Manon Lescaut, and waltzes by Josef Strauss and Johann Strauss, Jr. Described by the Chicago Tribune as “poetry on the key-board,” David Fray performed Mozart’s Piano Concerto no. 24. It was a rich evening of Austro-German and Italian musical splendor.

The night began with a champagne reception with hors d’oeuvres and performances by members of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago. After the CSO concert, Symphony Ball guests continued their evening with dinner and dancing in the Grand Ballroom of the Palmer House.

Presented by the Women’s Board of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association and chaired by Leigh Ann and Casey Herman along with co-chairs Donna L. Kendall and David E. McNeel, the gala event raised over $1.31 million for the organization. The evening also honored longtime supporters Richard and Helen Thomas with many attendees making gifts in tribute to their generosity.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets™

In his original review of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), film critic Roger Ebert compared the Potter franchise to the Star Wars movies, but added that the Hogwarts cinema universe displays “more wit and humanity.” The second in a series of seven titles, with a score by John Williams once again, Chamber of Secrets evokes the golden age of Hollywood, as it creates a “fully realized world with all the details crowded in, so that even what’s in the corners of the screen is intriguing. . . . What a glorious movie.”

The first movie was the setup, and this one is the payoff. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets leaves behind all of the explanations of wizardry and plunges quickly into an adventure that’s darker and scarier than anything in the first Harry Potter movie. It’s also richer: the second in a series of seven Potter films is brimming with invention and new ideas, and its Hogwarts School seems to expand and deepen before our very eyes into a world large enough to conceal unfathomable secrets.

What’s developing here, it’s clear, is one of the most important franchises in movie history, a series of films that consolidate all of the advances in computer-aided animation, linked to the extraordinary creative work of J.K. Rowling, who has created a mythological world as grand as Star Wars, but filled with more wit and human-ity. Although the young wizard Harry Potter is nominally the hero, the film evokes the golden age of moviemaking, when vivid supporting characters crowded the canvas. The story is about personalities, personal histories, and eccentricity, and not about a superstar superman crushing the narrative with his egotistical weight.

In this movie, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe, a little taller and deeper-voiced) returns with his friends Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson). They sometimes seem to stand alone amid the alarming mysteries of Hogwarts, where the teachers—the august head-master Albus Dumbledore (Richard Harris) and

the learned professors Snape (Alan Rickman) and McGonagall (Maggie Smith)—and even the stalwart Hagrid the Giant (Robbie Coltrane)

comments


seem mystified and a little frightened by the school’s dread secrets.

Is there indeed a Chamber of Secrets hidden somewhere in the vast pile of Hogwarts? Can

it only be opened by a descendent of Salazar Slytherin, the more sinister of the school’s cofounders? Does it contain a monster? Has the monster already escaped, and is it responsible for paralyzing some of the students, whose petrified bodies are found in the corridors and carried to the infirmary still frozen in a moment of time? Do the answers to these questions originate in events many years ago, when even the ancient Dumbledore was (marginally) younger? And does a diary by a former student named Tom Marvolo Riddle—a book with nothing written in it, but whose pages answer questions in a ghostly handwriting—provide the clues that Harry and his friends need? (The answer to all of the above: probably.)

This puzzle could be solved in a drab and routine movie with characters wandering down old stone corridors, but one of the pleasures of Chris Columbus’s direction of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is how visually alive it is. This is a movie that answers any objection to computer animation with glorious or creepy sights that blend convincingly with the action. Hogwarts itself seems to have grown since the first movie, from a largish sort of country house into a thing of spires and turrets, vast rooms and endlessly convoluted passageways, and lecture halls and science labs, with as much hidden below the ground as visible above it. Even the Quidditch game is held in a larger stadium (maybe rich alumni were generous?). There are times, indeed, when the scope of Hogwarts seems to approach that of Gormenghast, the lim-itless edifice in the trilogy by Mervyn Peake that was perhaps one of Rowling’s inspirations.

The production designer is Stuart Craig, returning from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001). He has created (there is no other way to put it) a world here, a fully realized world with all the details crowded in, so that even what’s in the corners of the screen is intriguing. This is one of the rare recent movies you could happily watch with the sound turned off, just for the joy of his sets, the costumes by Lindy Hemming, and the visual effects (the Quidditch match seems even more three-dimensional,

the characters swooping across the vast field, as Harry finds himself seriously threatened by the odious Malfoy).

Three new characters appear this time: one delightful, one conceited, and one malevolent. Professor Sprout (Miriam Margolyes) is on the biology faculty and teaches a class on the pecu-liar properties of the mandrake plant, made all the most amusing by students of John Donne, who are familiar with the additional symbol-ism of the mandrake only hinted at in class. The more you know about mandrakes, the funnier Sprout’s class is.

She is the delightful addition. The conceited new faculty member, deliciously cast, is Gilderoy Lockhart (Kenneth Branagh), author of the auto-biography Magical Me, who thinks of himself as a consummate magician, but whose spell to heal Harry’s broken arm has unfortunate results. And then there is Lucius Malfoy (Jason Isaacs), father of the supercilious Draco, who skulks about as if he should be hated just on general principle.

These characters and plot elements draw together in late action sequences of genuine power, which may be too intense for younger viewers. There is a most alarming confron-tation with spiders and a scary late duel with a dragon, and these are handled not as jolly family movie episodes, but with the excitement of a mainstream thriller. While I am usually in despair when a movie abandons its plot for a third act given over entirely to action, I have no problem with the way Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets ends, because it has been pointing toward this finale, hinting

about it, preparing us for it, all the way through. What a glorious movie.

Justin Freer Conductor

American composer and conductor Justin Freer was born and reared in Huntington Beach, California. He has estab-lished himself as one of the West Coast’s most exciting musical voices and quickly become a highly sought-after

conductor and producer of film-music concerts around the world. Freer began his formal studies on trumpet, playing in wind ensembles, marching bands, and community orchestras. He quickly turned to piano and composition and composed his first work for wind ensemble at the age of eleven. Continuing trumpet performance while studying piano and composition, Freer saw multiple wind ensemble, choral, and big-band performances of his music while still a teenager and made his professional conducting debut at sixteen.

He has written music for world-renowned trumpeters Doc Severinson and Jens Lindemann and continues to be in demand as a composer and conductor for projects that range from orches-tral literature to chamber music at some of the most well-known concert halls, festivals, music clinics, and conventions in the world. Major League Soccer called on Freer to compose and conduct music for the 2011 and 2012 Major League Soccer Championship cups in Los Angeles. He also has served as composer for several inde-pendent films and has written motion-picture advertising music for some of 20th Century Fox Studios’ biggest campaigns, including Avatar, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Dragonball Evolution, and Aliens in the Attic. As a conductor, Freer has appeared with some of the most well-known orchestras in the world, including the Chicago Symphony, the London and New York philhar-monics, the Philadelphia and Philharmonia

(London) orchestras, San Francisco and St. Louis symphony orchestras, and the Sydney Symphony. In upcoming seasons, he guest conducts the Minnesota Orchestra as well as the orchestras of Chicago, Dublin, London, Paris, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Sydney, and Toronto, among others.

In recent seasons, his works have been per-formed by the Musashino Academia Musicae Wind Ensemble in Tokyo, Texas All-State Symphonic Band, and the Grand Symphonic Winds; and the wind bands of the University of North Texas, Purdue University, Kansas State University, University of North Dakota, University of Illinois, Indiana University, University of California–Los Angeles, St. Cloud State University (Minnesota), and California State University–Los Angeles (UCLA), among many others. His music also has been a subject of discussion at the Oxford Round Table of Scholars and performed through-out the world from Carnegie Hall in New York City to Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall.

Freer has been recognized with numerous grants and awards from organizations includ-ing ASCAP, BMI, the Society of Composers and Lyricists, and the Henry Mancini Estate. He is founder and president of CineConcerts, a com-pany dedicated to the preservation and concert presentation of film, TV, and media music set to picture, with which he has produced, curated, and conducted full-length music score perfor-mances live with film for such wide ranging titles as Gladiator, The Godfather, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, It’s A Wonderful Life, and most recently Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. He also spent sev-eral years as a principal conductor for The Lord of the Rings Trilogy in Concert and conducted the European concert run of Titanic.

Justin Freer earned both bachelor’s and mas-ter’s degrees in music composition from UCLA, where his principal composition teachers included Paul Chihara and Ian Krouse. In addition, he was mentored by legendary composer/conductor Jerry Goldsmith.

John Williams Composer

In a career spanning more than five decades, John Williams has become one of America’s most accom-plished and successful composers for film and for the concert stage, and he remains one of our nation’s most distinguished and

The Extra-Terrestrial, Jaws, Jurassic Park, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the Indiana Jones films, Munich, Saving Private Ryan, The Adventures of Tintin, War Horse, Lincoln, The BFG, and The Post. His contributions to television music include scores for more than 200 television films for the groundbreaking early anthology series Alcoa Theatre, Kraft Television Theatre, Chrysler Theatre, and Playhouse 90, as well as themes for NBC Nightly News (“The Mission”), NBC’s Meet the Press, and the PBS arts showcase Great Performances. He also composed themes for the 1984, 1988, and 1996 Summer Olympic Games, and the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. He has received five Academy awards and fifty-one Oscar nominations, making him the Academy’s most-nominated living person and the second most-nominated person in the history

of the Oscars. He has received seven British Academy awards (BAFTA), twenty-four Grammys, four Golden Globes, five Emmys, and numerous gold and platinum records. In 2003, he received the Olympic Order (the International Olympic Committee’s highest honor) for his contributions to the Olympic movement. He received the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors in December 2004.

In 2009, John Williams was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and he received the National Medal of Arts, the highest award given to artists by the U.S. govern-ment. In 2016, he received the Forty-fourth Life Achievement Award from the American Film Institute—bestowed on a composer for the first time in its history.

In 1980, John Williams was named nineteenth music director of the Boston Pops Orchestra, succeeding the legendary Arthur Fiedler. He currently holds the title of Boston Pops Laureate Conductor, which he assumed follow-ing his retirement in 1993, after fourteen highly successful seasons. He also holds the title of artist-in-residence at Tanglewood. Williams has composed numerous works for the concert stage, among them two symphonies, and concertos commissioned by several of the world’s leading ensembles, including a cello concerto for the Boston Symphony Orchestra, a bassoon con-certo for the New York Philharmonic, a trumpet concerto for the Cleveland Orchestra, and a horn concerto for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

In 2009, John Williams composed and arranged “Air and Simple Gifts” especially for the first inaugural ceremony of President Barack Obama, and in September that year, the Boston Symphony premiered a new concerto for harp and orchestra entitled On Willows and Birches.

chicago symphony orchestra


Now celebrating its 128th season, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently hailed as one of the world’s leading orchestras. In September 2010, renowned Italian conductor Riccardo Muti became its tenth music director. His vision for the Orchestra—to deepen its engagement with the Chicago community, to nurture its legacy while supporting a new generation of musicians, and to collaborate with visionary artists—signals a new era for the institution.

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s distin-guished history began in 1889, when Theodore Thomas, then the leading conductor in America and a recognized music pioneer, was invited by Chicago businessman Charles Norman Fay to establish a symphony orchestra here. Thomas’s aim to establish a permanent orchestra with performance capabilities of the highest quality was realized at the first concerts in October 1891. Thomas served as music director until his death in 1905—just three weeks after the dedication of Orchestra Hall, the Orchestra’s permanent home designed by Daniel Burnham.

Frederick Stock, recruited by Thomas to the viola section in 1895, became assistant conductor in 1899, and succeeded the Orchestra’s founder. His tenure lasted thirty-seven years, from 1905 to 1942—the longest of the Orchestra’s music direc-tors. Dynamic and innovative, the Stock years saw the founding of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, the first training orchestra in the United States affiliated with a major symphony orchestra, in 1919. Stock also established youth auditions, orga-nized the first subscription concerts especially for children, and began a series of popular concerts.

Three distinguished conductors headed the Orchestra during the following decade: Désiré Defauw was music director from 1943 to 1947; Artur Rodzinski assumed the post in 1947–48; and Rafael Kubelík led the ensemble for three seasons from 1950 to 1953. The next ten years belonged to Fritz Reiner, whose recordings with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra are still considered per-formance hallmarks. It was Reiner who invited Margaret Hillis to form the Chicago Symphony Chorus in 1957. For the five seasons from 1963 to 1968, Jean Martinon held the position of music director.

Sir Georg Solti, the Orchestra’s eighth music director, served from 1969 until 1991. He then held the title of music director laureate and

returned to conduct the Orchestra for several weeks each season until his death in September 1997. Solti’s arrival launched one of the most successful musical partnerships of our time, and the CSO made its first overseas tour to Europe in 1971 under his direction, along with numerous award-winning recordings.

Daniel Barenboim was named music director designate in January 1989, and he became the Orchestra’s ninth music director in September 1991, a position he held until June 2006. His tenure was distinguished by the opening of Symphony Center in 1997, highly praised oper-atic productions at Orchestra Hall, numerous appearances with the Orchestra in the dual role of pianist and conductor, twenty-one international tours, and the appointment of Duain Wolfe as the Chorus’s second director.

From 2006 to 2010, Bernard Haitink held the post of principal conductor, the first in CSO his-tory. Pierre Boulez’s long-standing relationship with the CSO led to his appointment as principal guest conductor in 1995. He was named Helen Regenstein Conductor Emeritus in 2006, a posi-tion he held until his death in January 2016. Only two others have served as principal guest conduc-tors: Carlo Maria Giulini, who began to appear in Chicago regularly in the late 1950s, was named to the post in 1969, serving until 1972; Claudio Abbado held the position from 1982 to 1985.

In January 2010, Yo-Yo Ma was appointed the CSO’s Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant by Riccardo Muti. In this role, he part-ners with Muti, staff, and musicians to provide program development for the Negaunee Music Institute at the CSO.

Mead Composer-in-Residence Missy Mazzoli was appointed by Riccardo Muti and begins her two-year term this fall. In addition to composing, she curates the contemporary MusicNOW series.

Since 1916, recording has been a signifi-cant part of the Orchestra’s activities. Current releases on CSO Resound, the Orchestra’s inde-pendent recording label, include the Grammy Award–winning release of Verdi’s Requiem led by Riccardo Muti. Recordings by the CSO have earned sixty-two Grammy awards from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.

The Elizabeth F. Cheney Foundation

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association and Civic Orchestra of Chicago are honored to recognize The Elizabeth F. Cheney Foundation as the 2018–19 Civic Orchestra of Chicago centennial season sponsor and lead sponsor of two special concert performances this season: the Civic Orchestra’s side-by-side performance with the CSO in the Concert for Chicago and its spring Centennial Celebration Concert. The Cheney Foundation has generously supported the Civic Orchestra for more than 25 years. Beginning with the 2013–14 season, The Cheney Foundation has underwritten a series of innovative Civic Orchestra performances at Symphony Center and in public venues that have been inspired and guided by CSO Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant Yo-Yo Ma. We are deeply grateful for the extraordinary generosity of The Elizabeth F. Cheney Foundation, whose directors are committed to celebrating Ms. Cheney’s legacy through the philanthropic support of the arts.
