ABOUT THE ARTIST, ANIYA SANDERS

Seventeen year old Milton Hershey High School senior, Aniya Sanders, is our featured cover artist in recognition of HSO Education Week, February 22 – 28, 2011.

Aniya, who hails from Harrisburg, studies art along with a rigorous academic schedule at Milton Hershey. As we observe her lovely program cover design, we see piano keys swirling through the composition that includes brass, strings, and winds. The predominance of piano keys is not accidental to the composition as Aniya plays the piano as well as spending much of her time with the visual arts. When she’s not playing piano, drawing, painting or studying(!), Aniya likes to cook, which comes in handy for as a MHS senior. She lives in an apartment setting and she and her three apartment-mates prepare dinner for themselves on a regular basis.

The HSO is delighted to have this talented young artist as our 2011 Education Week cover artist.

Tara Simoncic, Assistant Conductor to Maestro Malina and the new Youth Symphony Music Director, joined the HSO in July 2010 from an

appointment as Music Director of the Norwalk Youth Symphony in Norwalk, Connecticut. While with the NYS, she founded and conducted the Chamber Orchestra and collaborated with the Greenwich Ballet Academy.

During her time in Norwalk, she built the program from four orchestras to six, adding a very successful mid-level orchestral winds training ensemble as well as a top-level chamber orchestra.

In addition to her NYS position, she also served as Music Director and Conductor of the Histoire Chamber Orchestra, Conductor of the Flexible Orchestra (in NYC),

Cover Conductor for the Manhattan School of Music (NYC), and Pre-Concert Lecturer and Assistant Conductor for the

Greenwich Symphony Orchestra (Greenwich, CT).

Originally from Stockton, California, Ms. Simoncic grew up in a musical family. Her father a composer and her mother a flautist, Tara was encouraged to study several instruments, but chose to focus on the trumpet at the age of six. Tara was bitten by the conducting bug while pursuing her Bachelor of Music degree in trumpet performance at the New England Conservatory of Music. There, she founded the Stravinsky Septet, an ensemble which toured New England with a staged production of Stravinsky’s L’Histoire du Soldat and other works with similar instrumentation that were commissioned by the ensemble. Deciding to further her studies in conducting, she received her Masters of Music degree in orchestral conducting from Northwestern University.

Her conducting training extended to Europe, where she studied at the Canford Summer School of Music (England) and with the Bohuslav Martinu Philharmonic (Czech Republic), the West Bohemian Symphony Orchestra (Czech Republic), the Adygeya Republic National Symphony Orchestra and the Astrakhan Symphony Orchestra (Russian Republic). She studied

with Zdenec Macal, David Gilbert, Iloh Yang, Victor Yampolsky, George Manahan, George Hurst and Kirk Trevor. 13

3yen yu (Jenny) Chen was born in Taipei, Taiwan on March 21, 1994. She began her piano studies at age six with Dr. John Vaughan. She was soon discovered to have exceptional musical talent and in 2003 she enrolled in the music class of Gu-Ting Elementary School where she majored in piano under Dr. Ming-Hui Lin. In the summer of 2003 she traveled to Graz, Austria where she took classes and performed in public.

Theme, Variations and finale, Op. 13 (1933) Miklós Rózsa

Born April 18, 1907 in Budapest Died on July 27, 1995 in Los Angeles

Budapest-born Miklós Rózsa showed a precocious talent for music and began studying violin at age five. Two years later he started composing and performing in public: at one of his first appearances he played a movement from a Mozart violin concerto dressed as the child Mozart, and then conducted a children’s orchestra in Leopold Mozart’s Toy Symphony. At his high school in Budapest, Rózsa was elected president of the franz Liszt Society and, to the dismay of school officials, organized concerts of the latest works by Kodály, Bartók and other recent Hungarian composers; for his advanced training in composition he went to the Leipzig Conservatory. After a successful concert of his chamber music in May 1932 in Paris, Rózsa moved to that city and quickly established his reputation as a concert composer. In 1935, he was invited by the Markova-Dolin Company of London to compose the score for a ballet titled Hungaria, based on Hungarian folk and traditional tunes. The film director Jacques Feyder saw the production and arranged for Rózsa to write the music for his movie Knight Without Armor, starring Marlene Dietrich and produced by the composer’s fellow expatriate Hungarian Sir Alexander Korda. Korda liked Rózsa’s work and asked him to join the music staff of his London film Productions. Rózsa contributed scores to eight other Korda productions before World War II forced suspension of the production of The Thief of Baghdad in 1940, when Korda moved his operation, including Rózsa, to Hollywood. Their last collaboration was for the 1942 Jungle Book, which yielded the first commercial American film score recording and caused a sensation. Rózsa left Korda in 1943 and worked for five years as a free-lance film composer before joining the staff of MGM; he became a united States citizen in 1946. from 1945 to 1965, he was Professor of film Music at the university of Southern California, and in 1955, he was elected President of the Screen Composers Association, a position he held for

a decade. He received three Academy Awards: Spellbound (1945), A Double Life (1948) and Ben Hur (1959). Miklós Rózsa died in Los Angeles on July 27, 1995.

Given the demanding schedule of his film career, Rózsa produced a surprising number of concert compositions — a symphony; concertos for string orchestra, violin, piano, cello, viola, and violin and cello; two serenades; a dozen independent orchestral scores; numerous pieces for chamber ensembles; several songs and choruses; and some works for piano. “Although Rózsa’s style is firmly rooted in Magyar peasant music,” wrote Christopher Palmer, “he managed to achieve a synthesis between folksong and symphonic form. The most distinctive feature of his music is its lyricism, which is either pentatonic or modal and, like its harmony, full of characteristic intervals of Hungarian folk music. However, Rózsa never borrowed folk material but gave his own themes the imprint of folksongs.”

Rózsa first gained international recognition with the Theme, Variations and Finale, composed in 1933 during his brief residency in Paris. The work was premiered in October 1934 in Duisberg, north of Düsseldorf, and immediately taken up by such noted conductors as Charles Munch, Eugene Ormandy and Bruno Walter, who scheduled it for his concert with the New york Philharmonic on November 14, 1943, when his illness allowed the 25-year-old Leonard Bernstein to substitute at the last minute (without a rehearsal) and make his reputation before a national radio audience. The work comprises a theme deeply imbued with the spirit of Hungarian folk music (Rózsa said that he conceived it on a boat trip along the Danube), eight variations encompassing a wide variety of moods and styles, and a rousing finale.

Piano Concerto in G (1931) Maurice Ravel

Born March 7, 1875 in Ciboure, Basses-Pyrénées, france Died December 28, 1937 in Paris

Ravel’s tour of the united States in 1928 was such a success that he began to plan for a second one as soon as he returned to france. With a view toward having a vehicle for himself as a pianist on the return visit, he started work on a concerto in 1929, perhaps encouraged by the good fortune that Stravinsky had enjoyed concertizing with his Concerto for Piano and Winds and Piano Capriccio earlier in the decade. However, many other projects pressed upon him, not the least of which was a commission from the pianist Paul Wittgenstein, who had lost his right arm in the first World War, to compose a piano concerto for left hand alone, and the Concerto in G was not completed until 1931.

The sparkling first movement of the Concerto in G opens with a bright melody in the piccolo that may derive from an old folk dance of the Basque region of southern france, where

20

Ravel was born. There are several themes in this exposition: the lively opening group is balanced by another set that is more nostalgic and bluesy in character. The development section is an elaboration of the lively opening themes, ending with a brief cadenza in octaves as a link to the recapitulation. The lively themes are passed over quickly, but the nostalgic melodies are treated at some length. The jaunty vivacity of the beginning returns for a dazzling coda.

When Ravel first showed the manuscript of the Adagio second movement to Marguerite Long, the soloist at the premiere, she commented on the music’s effortless grace. The composer sighed, and told her that he had struggled to write the movement “bar by bar,” that it had cost him more anxiety than any of his other scores. The movement begins with a long-breathed melody for solo piano over a rocking accompaniment. The central section does not differ from the opening as much in melody as it does in texture — a gradual thickening occurs as the music proceeds. The texture then becomes again translucent, and the opening melody is heard on its return in the plaintive tones of the English horn.

The finale is a whirling showpiece for soloist and orchestra that evokes the energetic world of jazz. Trombone slides, muted trumpet interjections, shrieking exclamations from the woodwinds abound. The episodes of the form tumble continuously one after another on their way to the abrupt conclusion of the work.

Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Op. 74, “Pathétique” (1893) Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Born May 7, 1840 in Votkinsk, Russia Died November 6, 1893 in St. Petersburg

Tchaikovsky died in 1893, at the age of only 53. His death was long attributed to the accidental drinking of a glass of unboiled water during a cholera outbreak, but this theory has been questioned in recent years with the alternate explanation that he was forced to take his own life because of a homosexual liaison with the underage son of a noble family. Though the manner of Tchaikovsky’s death is incidental to the place of his Sixth Symphony in music history, the fact of it is not.

Tchaikovsky conducted his B minor Symphony for the first time only a week before his death. It was given a cool reception by musicians and public, and Tchaikovsky’s frustration was multiplied when discussion of the work was avoided by the guests at a dinner party following the concert. Three days later, however, his mood seemed brighter, and he told a friend that he was not yet ready to be snatched off by death, “that snubbed-nose horror. 21

I feel that I shall live a long time.” He was wrong. The evidence of the manner of his death is not conclusive, but what is certain is the overwhelming grief and sense of loss felt by music lovers in Russia and abroad as the news of his passing spread. Memorial concerts were planned. One of the first was in St. Petersburg on November 18th, only twelve days after he died. Eduard Napravnik conducted the Sixth Symphony on that occasion, and it was a resounding success. The “Pathétique” was wafted by the winds of sorrow across the musical world, and became — and remains — one of the most popular symphonies ever written, the quintessential expression of tragedy in music.

The music of the “Pathétique” is a distillation of the strong residual strain of melancholy in Tchaikovsky’s personality rather than a mirror of his daily feelings and thoughts. Though he admitted there was a program for the Symphony, he refused to reveal it. “Let him guess it who can,” he told Vladimir Davidov. A cryptic note discovered years later among his sketches suggests that the first movement was “all impulsive passion; the second, love; the third, disappointments; the fourth, death — the result of collapse.” It is not clear, however, whether this précis applied to the finished version of the work, or was merely a preliminary, perhaps never even realized, plan. That Tchaikovsky at one point considered the title “Tragic” for the score gives sufficient indication of its prevailing emotional content.

The title “Pathétique” was suggested to Tchaikovsky by his elder brother, Modeste. In his biography of Peter, Modeste recalled that they were sitting around a tea table one evening after the premiere, and the composer was unable to settle on an appropriate designation for the work before sending it to the publisher. The sobriquet “Pathétique” popped into Modeste’s mind, and Tchaikovsky pounced on it immediately: “Splendid, Modi, bravo. ‘Pathétique’ it shall be.” This title has always been applied to the Symphony, though the original Russian word carries a meaning closer to “passionate” or “emotional” than to the English “pathetic.”

The Symphony opens with a slow introduction dominated by the sepulchral intonation of the bassoon, whose melody, in a faster tempo, becomes the impetuous first theme of the exposition. Additional instruments are drawn into the symphonic argument until the brasses arrive to crown the movement’s first climax. The tension subsides into silence before the yearning second theme appears, “like a recollection of happiness in time of pain,” according to Edward Downes. The tempestuous development section, intricate, brilliant and the most masterful thematic manipulation in Tchaikovsky’s output, is launched by a mighty blast from the full orchestra. The recapitulation is more condensed, vibrantly scored and intense in emotion than the exposition. The major tonality achieved with the second theme is maintained until the hymnal end of the movement.

Tchaikovsky referred to the second movement as a scherzo, though its 5/4 meter gives it more the feeling of a waltz with a limp. Charles O’Connell, however, saw the irregular meter as essential to the movement’s effect, “as if its gaiety were constantly under constraint; directed, not by careless joy, but by a determination to be joyful.”22

The third movement is a boisterous march whose brilliant surface may conceal a deeper truth. Tchaikovsky’s biographer John Warrack wrote, “On the face of it, this is a sprightly march; yet it is barren, constructed out of bleak intervals, and for all the merriness of its manner, essentially empty, with a coldness at its heart.”

The tragedy of the finale is apparent immediately at the outset in its somber contrast to the whirling explosion of sound that ends the third movement. A profound emptiness pervades the Symphony’s closing movement, which maintains its slow tempo and mood of despair throughout. ©2010 Dr. Richard E. Rodda

Born in Moscow and raised in New York, soprano Inna Dukach recently made her Covent Garden debut as Musetta in La Bohème. MusicOMH wrote of her performance there, “It was, however, Inna Dukach’s portrayal of Musetta that stole the show. She earned mid-aria applause with a spell binding pianissimo in act 2, and even managed to inject some humanity into the usually shallow man-eater.”

Further recent performances of note include Mimì for her debut with Opera Colorado; the Countess in Le nozze di Figaro for Hawaii Opera Theatre; Walter in La Wally with the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam; Pamina in Die Zauberflöte for Opera Hong Kong; Liù in Turandot for the Savonlinna Opera Festival; Tatiana in Eugene Onegin with Opéra Lyra Ottawa; Violetta in La Traviata with Zagreb Opera in Croatia; Marguerite in Faust with Opera New Jersey; and Mimì in La Bohème with Opera North.

Inna Dukach was a winner of the 2005 Liederkranz Competition, a winner of the 2004 Dutka Arts Foundation Competition, and a New England Regional Finalist of the 2003 Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions. She received her Master’s Degree in Vocal Performance from Mannes College of Music, and her Bachelor’s Degree from Smith College.

Dinyar Vania has recently emerged as one of the country’s most exciting young tenors. With a voice which combines both power and beauty, he has earned critical acclaim portraying several of the most beloved roles in opera. He has performed with New York City Opera as Rodolpho in La Bohème, a role which he has also performed with Madison Opera, Opera Roanoke and Knoxville Opera. He has sung as Cavaradossi in Tosca with Dallas, Sacramento and Toledo operas; Alfredo in La Traviata with Opera Cleveland; Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly with Knoxville Opera, and Edgardo in Lucia di Lammermoor with Syracuse Opera.

He made his Carnegie Hall debut as soloist in Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, which he has also sung with the Harrisburg Symphony. Other concert appearances include singing as soloist with the Naples Philharmonic in a gala holiday series, and with the Jacksonville Symphony in an all-Verdi evening.

Mr. Vania was awarded Syracuse Opera’s “Artist of the Year” award, as well as First Place in the Giulio Gari Vocal Competition, Second Prize in the Licia Albanese-Puccini Competition, and was a semi-finalist in Placido Domingo’s Operalia in Madrid, Spain.

Hailed for her dazzling virtuosity and charismatic charm, soprano Jane Redding continues to amaze audiences with her near-flawless musicianship, thrilling high notes, and wide-ranging versatility. In the title role of LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR, critics hailed: “This rising star delivered a staggering, at times mesmerizing, performance. Redding unleashed a remarkably fluent yet powerful voice that filled the cavernous auditorium with what seemed great ease …Redding’s Lucia in deepest delirium served up some of the most delicious singing yet heard from that stage.” Recent operatic performances have included Gilda in RIGOLETTO with Opera Naples; Lucia in LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR with Opera Southwest; Rosina in IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA with Des Moines Metro Opera; Adina in ELIXIR OF LOVE with Des Moines Metro Opera and Virginia Opera; Violetta in LA TRAVIATA with Mobile Opera; Pamina in THE MAGIC FLUTE with Pensacola Opera; YumYum in THE MIKADO with Nevada Opera; and Musetta in LA BOHÈME with San Antonio Opera. Ms. Redding has been the recipient of many awards, including a national winner in the coveted MacAllister Awards and a recipient of a Shoshana Award from the Richard F. Gold Career Grant Foundation. Ms. Redding holds a Doctor of Musical Arts Degree from Louisiana State University.

Baritone Grant youngblood is a rising star in the singing world, active as a recitalist and on the opera and concert stage. Highlights of his opera appearances include Escamillo in Carmen for Opéra de Monte Carlo’s 2000 tour of Japan, Sharpless in Madama Butterfly with San Francisco Opera, and Silvio in I Pagliacci for Florida Grand Opera. Other recent performances include Valentin in Faust with Portland Opera and Minnesota Opera, Count di Luna in Il Trovatore with Virginia Opera, and John Proctor in The Crucible at Central City Opera in Colorado. Youngblood’s concert appearances include his debut with the San Francisco Symphony last June at the Stravinsky Festival, conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas, singing Renard, Mass, Requiem Canticles, and Canticum Sacrum. Last October he joined Heidi Grant Murphy in the Fauré Requiem with the Louisville Orchestra. He made his international debut with the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra in the Mozart Coronation Mass, Gounod’s St. Cecilia Mass, and the Schubert Mass in E-flat Major in the Liturgica Festival. As a recitalist, he performs the works of Rachmaninoff, Ravel, Handel, Bach, and the great German Romantic composers. Winner of numerous awards, Youngblood most recently received the Richard F. Gold Career Grant from the Shoshana Foundation. Other prestigious recognition has been given by the MacAllister Awards Competition and the Metropolitan Opera National Council.

American baritone Raymond Diaz is steadily attracting attention for his sizeable, agile voice and his commanding stage presence. A prodigious student at SUNY Purchase College, he caught the attention of Opera News, which called his Don Giovanni there “…an imperturbably elegant master of grace and élan.” The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette wrote: “His slapstick was dead-on and his expressions hilarious” as Bottom in A Midsummer Night’s Dream with Pittsburgh Opera. Mr. Diaz has performed throughout the country with such opera companies as Opera New Jersey, Utah Opera, Virginia Opera, Central City Opera, Pittsburgh Opera, and most recently, DiCapo Opera and New York City Opera. Raymond is thrilled to be returning to sing with the Harrisburg Symphony, where his previous engagements include Lord Mountararat in Gilbert & Sullivan’s Iolanthe and the baritone soloist in Beethoven’s 9th Symphony and Vaughan Williams’ Dona Nobis Pacem.

Bass-baritone, Brandon Cedel is currently pursuing his Masters degree from The Curtis Institute of Music, where he also received his bachelors in Vocal Performance in 2010. He will be making his Carnegie Hall debut participating in a master class specializing in German Lieder given by famed bass, Kurt Moll. The master class is part of The Song Continues series through the Carnegie Hall Foundation. He has performed in recital with pianists Mikael Eliasen, John Churchwell, Warren Jones, and Dalton Baldwin. Brandon sang the world premiere of Lita Grier`s Billy Collins Suite, presented by Chicago`s Music in the Loft. He has given recitals throughout the United States, Italy, and France. This summer Brandon will be returning to Marilyn Horne’s Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, CA. He will be performing the role of Basilio in Il Barbiere di Siviglia under the direction of John Copley.

American bass Eric D. Johnson has been a fixture on the operatic stages of the USA and Europe for over 25 years, having appeared in more than 160 professional productions in a repertoire that encompasses nearly all the important roles for low bass. Now, in addition to his experience as a performer, he adds the roles of stage director, teacher, and mentor to his already extensive resume.

A graduate of Harvard and Indiana Universities, Mr. Johnson made his professional debut at the Central City (Colorado) Opera in 1984 as Sparafucile in Verdi’s Rigoletto. In 1992, Mr. Johnson was the leading bass of the Stadttheater Giessen, Germany, where he made his European debut as King Heinrich in Wagner’s Lohengrin. In 2001, Mr. Johnson returned to the United States to take a faculty position at Syracuse University, where he serves as co-chair of the Voice Department and founding Director of the SU Opera Theatre. He is, naturally, also a regular performer with the Syracuse Opera (Banquo, Commendatore, Sarastro, Sparafucile, etc.), the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra, and the Catskill Symphony Orchestra.

La Bohème, Opera in four Acts (1896)Music by Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924)Born December 22, 1858 in LuccaDied November 29. 1924 in BrusselsLibretto by Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica

Even before the successful premiere of Manon Lescaut at the Teatro Regio in Turin on february 1, 1893 had rocketed Puccini to international operatic prominence, he had begun searching for his next libretto. He toyed with the curious notion of writing an opera on the life of Buddha (Richard Wagner once entertained the same idea), and seriously considered a bloodthirsty and rather lascivious drama titled La Lupa (“The She-Wolf”) by Giovanni Verga, one of whose short stories had provided the subject for Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana of 1890. Puccini was serious enough about La Lupa to visit Verga in Sicily, but he was talked out of the project on the voyage back to the mainland by the Marchesa Gravina, the daughter of Hans von Bülow and Cosima Liszt — “It would be better if you worked at something nobler,” she advised him. By March 1893, those plans had been abandoned in favor of a libretto based on Henri Mürger’s novel Scènes de la vie de bohème, originally published in installments in the Parisian journal Le Corsair between 1847 and 1849 (Le Corsair printed Hector Berlioz’s first criticisms), and Théodore Barrière’s stage 1849 adaptation of the book as La vie de bohème.

Puccini set his librettists for Manon (and later for Tosca and Madama Butterfly), the learned Giuseppe Giacosa and the mercurial Luigi Illica, to work on the book, but they encountered stiff problems from the demanding composer (“To work for Puccini means to go through a living hell,” complained Illica) as well as from the varied and episodic construction of Mürger’s book — the first draft had twenty acts. Puccini’s working method required extensive and time-consuming alterations to the libretto before he was ready to set it to music, but progress on this new opera — La Bohème — was given a real urgency since

Ruggiero Leoncavallo, the composer of I Pagliacci (1892), was then working on the same subject. The competing projects were announced on consecutive days in the press. Despite what turned out to be a nearly vitriolic competition for the earlier premiere date, Giacosa and Illica could not get final approval for their libretto from Puccini until the summer of 1894. Puccini, busy travelling to oversee productions of his operas and always as eager to spend a day at hunting in the forests around his newly purchased villa at Torre del Lago as at composing, took the next eighteen months to complete the music. The first performance of La Bohème was given on february 1, 1896 at the Teatro Regio in Turin, site of Manon’s success exactly three years before; it beat Leoncavallo’s version to the stage by more than a year.

The premiere of La Bohème, conducted by the 29-year-old Arturo Toscanini, was greeted with cool indifference by the audience and sharp disappointment by the press. The cast seems to have been unable to rise to the challenges of the new work, and local music lovers were bemused by the economy of Puccini’s score in the wake of the first Italian performance of Wagner’s Götterdämmerung, conducted in the same house by Toscanini six weeks before. A subsequent production in Rome raised little more enthusiasm, and it was not until La Bohème reached Palermo in April 1897 that the opera won unbridled approval. It was staged at Covent Garden, London in July 1900 and at the Metropolitan Opera in New york seven months later, and has since been one of the most enduring and beloved creations in all opera. “What is the secret of this ever popular work?” asked Quita Chavez in a study of La Bohème. “Perhaps its main attraction lies in its complete conviction. It has the power to take hold of the listener and make him or her enter into the joys and sorrows of the characters and become completely immersed in the action of the plot. The music, eternally fresh, and bearing the mark of genuine inspiration, never conveys the impression of conscious construction. The melody is warm and sensuous, the instrumentation sensitive and clear, never obscuring the significance of the words. In short, the whole work displays a complete naturalness and subtlety seldom found.”

SynopsisThe opera is set in the Latin Quarter of Paris in the 1830s.

ACT IA scantily furnished and unheated garret. Christmas Eve.The poet Rodolfo and his companion Marcello, a painter, are at work in their impoverished flat. The lack of fuel for the stove prompts Marcello to comment that the water in the painting on his easel, “The Passage of the Red Sea,” looks bitterly cold. To provide some warmth, Rodolfo offers to burn the manuscript of the romantic tragedy upon which he had been working. As they are feeding the first act to the fire, Colline, a philosopher, arrives with the news that he has been unsuccessful in trying to pawn a bundle of his old books. The rest of the manuscript provides a few more moments of bright flames until the fire

38

dies out. Before the three friends can become despondent, however, two boys enter bearing food and fuel — Schaunard, the musician among these Bohemians, has just been engaged by a wealthy Englishman for a series of lessons. Schaunard tosses some coins across the floor to verify his good fortune. The food is unpacked and the stove stoked, but Schaunard suggests that they celebrate his luck by dining at the Café Momus. Their departure is delayed by a knock on the door: Benoit, the landlord, wants his rent. The four friends invite him in, ply him with wine, and allow him to boast of his flirtations with the ladies. The Bohemians feign indignation at this confession, and eject the tipsy landlord from the room without his payment.Marcello, Colline and Schaunard leave the garret to wait in the courtyard below while Rodolfo finishes an article for a paper. No sooner have they departed than a timid knock is heard. Rodolfo opens the door to find Mimi, an upstairs neighbor, holding a key and a candle blown out by a draft. She asks Rodolfo if he could re-light her candle, but she is overcome by breathless weakness, and swoons. Rodolfo, touched by her pale, fragile beauty, revives her, and offers her some wine. He lights her candle and she starts to leave, but she realizes that she has lost her key. The wind again blows out her candle and Rodolfo surreptitiously extinguishes his own, leaving the room bathed in moonlight. Rodolfo finds the key, but conceals it, and pretends to go on searching, seeking now to touch Mimi’s hand. “your little hand is frozen” (Che gelida manina), he sings, “let me give it back its warmth.” Rodolfo tenderly holds Mimi’s hand as he tells her of his life: “I’m a poet.... I live in light-hearted poverty. But when it comes to dreams and visions, I’ve the soul of a millionaire.” She responds (Mi chiamano Mimi — “I’m called Mimi, but my name is Lucia”): “I embroider linen or silk. I delight in making roses and lilies. I live quite alone, looking out on the roofs and the sky.” The Bohemians shout from below that they are leaving for the Momus. “I’m not alone,” Rodolfo tells them. “Save two places for us.” Rodolfo and Mimi sing of their new-found love (O soave fanciulla — “O lovely girl”). The last lines of their rapturous duet die away as they walk slowly into the night.

ACT IIA bustling, brightly lit square in the Latin Quarter. The terrace of the Café Momus occupies one side of the square. Christmas Eve.Hawkers, soldiers, students, merrymakers fill the scene. Schaunard is haggling with a man over a horn; Colline is buying a coat; Marcello is ogling the girls. The three take their table at the Café Momus, where they are joined by Rodolfo and Mimi, who is carrying a pink bonnet that the poet has bought for her. The toy vendor Parpignol enters, followed by a crowd of excited children. As the clamor dies down, Musetta, Marcello’s old flame, arrives at the Momus, followed by her current patron, the pompous Alcindoro. failing to attract Marcello’s attention, she breaks into her famous waltz, Quando men vo (“When I walk out alone along the streets, all the people stop and stare”). She sees that Marcello is unable to remain indifferent to her, and pretends to Alcindoro that her shoe is hurting her, sending him off in search of a cobbler. Marcello and Musetta embrace, and join the other

39

Bohemians. The waiter brings the check, which Musetta instructs be added to Alcindoro’s bill. A military tattoo passes by, and the Bohemians join the parade. Alcindoro returns with a new pair of shoes only to find Musetta flown and two large bills awaiting payment.

ACT IIIJust inside the Porte d’Enfer, a toll gate in Paris. A bleak february dawn.The city is awakening. Voices are heard from an adjacent tavern, where Marcello and Musetta have found work and rooms. Mimi enters, pale and agitated, and asks a peasant to bring Marcello to her. She tells him that Rodolfo is madly jealous, and that she fears they must part — they quarreled the previous evening and he fled. Marcello agrees that parting may be for the best, telling Mimi that her lover spent the night with him at the tavern. Rodolfo awakens and comes out to Marcello; Mimi hides behind a tree. Mimi overhears the poet tell Marcello that she is heartless and a coquette, but he then confesses that his real anxiety is caused by Mimi’s illness, which he can do nothing to help in his squalid flat. He fears that she will die. At the height of his outburst, Mimi’s coughing and sobs reveal her presence, and the lovers fall into each other’s arms. Musetta’s laughter from the inn sends Marcello into a rage, and he runs inside, leaving Mimi and Rodolfo alone. They agree to stay together until spring in a tender duet punctuated by the quarrel between Marcello and Musetta. “We shall part when the flowers bloom again,” sing the lovers. “I wish winter would last forever,” says Mimi.

ACT IVThe garret, as in Act I. Several months later. Mimi and Rodolfo have parted. Rodolfo and Marcello feign indifference to their former lovers, but then reveal their continuing strong feelings for Mimi and Musetta. Schaunard and Colline enter with a meager meal of some rolls and herrings, which the four pretend is a banquet. They clown and indulge in a mock duel and a series of dances, but are cut short when the door is flung open by Musetta. She has found Mimi, exhausted and ill, who asked to be brought back to Rodolfo. Mimi enters, and Rodolfo helps her to the bed. Musetta gives her earrings to Marcello to sell to provide medicine and a doctor for Mimi. They leave. Colline offers to pawn his overcoat, and sings a sad farewell before departing on his task with Schaunard. In a touching scene, the lovers recall their earlier happiness. Mimi is suddenly seized by a fit of coughing, and falls back onto the bed. Schaunard returns, followed by Marcello and Musetta, who bring a muff to warm Mimi’s hands and the report that a doctor is on the way. Mimi gratefully accepts the muff, thinking that it is a present from Rodolfo. She places her hands in it, and slowly sinks into unconsciousness. Musetta murmurs a prayer. Schaunard moves to the bed, and then whispers to Marcello that Mimi is dead. Colline returns with the money from his coat, and asks about Mimi. Rodolfo replies that she is peaceful, but he becomes apprehensive at the worried attitudes of his companions. He grows agitated, and Marcello comforts his friend when the realization of Mimi’s death strikes him. The curtain falls as Rodolfo despairingly cries the name of Mimi. ©2010 Dr. Richard E. Rodda

This newest version will be The Amazing Symphony Race and will offer some challenges as well as a very good time. Since it is a team oriented event, start to think

Harrisburg Symphony SocietyPATRICIA FERRIS, HARRISBURG SYMPHONY SOCIETY BOARD PRESIDENT

now about putting together your team of six, with friends and work colleagues. The Race will begin at 5:30 pm on Friday May 13 from the Hilton in Harrisburg – don’t be late!

We continue to look for the right property for the HSS Showhouse and Gardens for 2012. If you know of an empty house in the Harrisburg region, with 6,000-8,000 square feet of interior design space, and a property that needs lovely landscaping – let’s talk! Contact the Symphony office or the HSS through the website.

Enjoy this next series of concerts with the very interesting and varied programs that our wonderful music director has crafted for us!

The Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra has launched the “four Score and More” campaign to raise new endowment funds to sustain the Symphony and its programs. The “Four Score and More” campaign not only recognizes the Symphony’s 80 years of artistry and its impact on our community, but it also will enable us to broaden the Orchestra’s role as a cultural cornerstone for the entire Capital Region.

The level of artistry achieved by our Symphony comes with a cost. As an example, expenses related to bringing our highly accomplished musicians to the Forum stage exceed $1,200 per player per Masterworks weekend. For our larger programs, we employ as many as 100 professional musicians. That’s a potential cost well in excess of $100,000 for a single weekend! Every year, ticket sales cover only one-third of the Orchestra’s budget. The remainder must come from annual giving, underwriting, sponsorships, government and foundation support, the activities of the Symphony Society, the Cultural Enrichment Fund, planned giving, and income from endowment.

Contributions to this campaign will be invested in the endowment for long-term growth, helping to ensure the financial and artistic health of this civic treasure. Each year a percentage is drawn from the endowment to support the Orchestra’s programs, grow educational initiatives, and create new programming.

2010-2012 Campaign for the Future

100% of the funds raised for this campaign are directed to the Symphony’s endowment due to the generous underwriting of campaign costs.

Contact Jocelyn Bowman, Endowment Campaign Manager, at (717) 545-5527 to learn how you can invest in the Symphony’s future.

The “four Score and More” Campaign is already off to a strong start with $1.8 million in gifts and pledges. But this is only the beginning of our campaign. A growing endowment will help to ensure that the Harrisburg Symphony will continue to be the Capital Region’s cultural jewel!

We greatly appreciate all gifts to the Annual Fund. This listing recognizes gifts of $50 or more from individuals to the HSO Annual Fund made between July 1, 2009 - December 29, 2010.

These four gifted ladies perform a very special holiday concert that shows just why music was central to the bond of worship and celebration 1000 years ago, just as it is today.

Anonymous 4 Sat, Dec 18 Christmas Concert

Four players bursting at the seams one moment, and the next whispering with the rapture of the blest. Bela Bartók’s six string quartets indeed cast an unparalleled emotional net. Fortunately, we’ve secured the services of LA’s finest, the Cal-der String Quartet. When it comes to playing Bartók’s hyper-expressive, hyper-demanding masterworks, they’re absolutely perfect.
