SUMMARY:Mozart's Mass
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nOur Mozart Festival opens with Symphony No. 38\, “Prague\,” composed on the heels of one of Mozart’s most famous operas\, The Marriage of Figaro’s\, tremendous success. This symphony exemplifies the peak of Mozart’s symphonic compositional style\, as it features sudden shifts from major to minor modes\, and defies listeners’ expectations for symphonic form\, adding to the drama and the effect of the piece. Symphony No. 38 is rich in complex subtleties and lyrical sophistication and spans a full spectrum of emotion. Mozart’s unfinished “Great” Mass in C minor follows the symphony. The mass is his most exalted and personal sacred work and was deeply influenced by the Baroque traditions of Bach and Handel. He composed church music without the demand that these composers experienced\, challenging the idea that musical progress could only be made by moving forward. The mass’ original movements journey from somber to soaring\, with later 20th-century revisions completing the piece. \nMaximiano Valdes\, conductor\nNatalia Santaliz\, soprano\nCamila Isabel\, soprano\nJohn Tiranno\, tenor\nHolden Turner\, baritone\nBuffalo Philharmonic Chorus \nMOZART  Symphony No. 38\, “Prague”\nMOZART  “Great” Mass in C minor[/vc_column_text][vc_separator css=””][vc_raw_html css=””]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Mozart's Violin
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nContinuing our Mozart Festival\, enjoy works by two contemporaries of Mozart: Joseph Bologne’s jaunty Symphony No. 2and Maria Theresia von Paradis’s Overture to The School Candidate. The Overture is her sole surviving orchestral piece and is in commedia dell’arte form—one that features many humorous character types familiar to audiences of Italian drama at the time. Mozart’s five violin concertos\, composed in 1775\, culminate in a Fifth that is imaginative\, experimental\, and technically challenging. The themes range from energetic to contemplative\, and Mozart includes musical nods to French and operatic styles prevalent at the time. The program closes with Symphony No. 35\, the fiery “Haffner\,” which honors a former Salzburg patron. Though the story goes Mozart composed it so quickly that he forgot “every single note of it\,” the symphony was incredibly well-received by the public and the king himself. Fitting with a royal fashion\, this composition is bold\, regal\, and brings the concert and festival to a grand and exciting close. \nAnthony Parnther\, conductor\nAubree Oliverson\, violin \nBOLOGNE  Symphony No. 2\nMOZART  Violin Concerto No. 5 in A major\nPARADIS  Overture to The School Candidate\nMOZART  Symphony No. 35\, “Haffner”[/vc_column_text][vc_separator css=””][vc_raw_html css=””]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Shostakovich No. 5
DESCRIPTION:Composed to express his gratitude upon receiving an honorary degree despite not attending university\, a mischievous Brahms penned the tongue‐in‐cheek Academic Festival Overture\, which features boisterous student drinking songs as well as folk songs turned songs of student protest. With the energy of the music and the expansive orchestration\, the piece tends to lean more into the celebratory side of the title than the scholarly. South American composer Miguel del Aguila’s Concierto en Tango for Cello and Orchestra was commissioned by the BPO and principal cellist Roman Mekinulov\, and received its world premiere by the BPO in 2014. The work’s lighthearted\, rhythmic syncopation avoids the melodrama of tango’s traditional form\, while capturing the nostalgia of its joyful expression\, uniquely conveyed by the cello’s depth. Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5\, which closes the program\, is forcedly optimistic and tonal. It proved career and lifesaving for the under-fire Shostakovich because of its patriotic nature and its glorification of Stalin’s Soviet regime. \nJoAnn Falletta\, conductor\nRoman Mekinulov\, cello \nBRAHMS  Academic Festival Overture\nMIGUEL DEL ÁGUILA  Concierto en Tango for Cello and Orchestra\nSHOSTAKOVICH  Symphony No. 5 in D minor

DESCRIPTION:Composed to express his gratitude upon receiving an honorary degree despite not attending university\, a mischievous Brahms penned the tongue‐in‐cheek Academic Festival Overture\, which features boisterous student drinking songs as well as folk songs turned songs of student protest. With the energy of the music and the expansive orchestration\, the piece tends to lean more into the celebratory side of the title than the scholarly. South American composer Miguel del Aguila’s Concierto en Tango for Cello and Orchestra was commissioned by the BPO and principal cellist Roman Mekinulov\, and received its world premiere by the BPO in 2014. The work’s lighthearted\, rhythmic syncopation avoids the melodrama of tango’s traditional form\, while capturing the nostalgia of its joyful expression\, uniquely conveyed by the cello’s depth. Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5\, which closes the program\, is forcedly optimistic and tonal. It proved career and lifesaving for the under-fire Shostakovich because of its patriotic nature and its glorification of Stalin’s Soviet regime. \nJoAnn Falletta\, conductor\nRoman Mekinulov\, cello \nBRAHMS  Academic Festival Overture\nMIGUEL DEL ÁGUILA  Concierto en Tango for Cello and Orchestra\nSHOSTAKOVICH  Symphony No. 5 in D minor

SUMMARY:Beethoven's Fifth
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nFour notes instantly recognizable across generations welcome back the much-loved Symphony No. 5 to the Kleinhans stage. The Fifth’s hallmark four-note pattern\, or “short-short-short-long\,” was a revolutionary concept at the time\, creating a rhythm as the subject line instead of a melody\, and one that recurs throughout all four movements. The composer laid the groundwork for future Romantic-era symphonies with the musical triumph and conflict resolution of “light over dark\,” ending on a note of hope and human resilience. Copland drew Dance Symphony’s rhythmic jazz motifs from his evocative\, unpublished vampire ballet about a morbid conjurer who could raise the dead and make them dance. Copland himself described the three movements as “thin\,” “songful\,” and “violent\,” respectively. In his Piano Concerto No. 1\, Beethoven expanded on Mozart’s influence by featuring challenging key changes and bold harmonies in this piece\, exemplifying his first compositional era and style. \nJoAnn Falletta\, conductor\nGeorge Li\, piano \nCOPLAND  Dance Symphony\nBEETHOVEN  Piano Concerto No. 1 in C major\nBEETHOVEN  Symphony No. 5 in C minor[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Tchaikovsky Meets Elfman
DESCRIPTION:A myriad of eclectic instruments—including pots\, pans\, and metal gadgets—accompany world-renowned percussionist Colin Currie and his BPO brethren in performing Danny Elfman’s Percussion Concerto\, which was written for Currie himself. Sounds in the piece are influenced by Elfman’s traveling experience\, where he played many metal-based instruments. The concerto\, offbeat and idiosyncratic\, was orchestrated without brass or woodwinds. Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony was a topic of debate following its composition\, as Russian and Western musical tradition joined hands\, resulting in a beloved\, emotionally lyrical masterpiece. The piece originated as program music—accompanying ideas or a story—about Fate\, and its motif can be heard throughout the symphony. Though once plagued by poor reviews and Tchaikovsky’s personal self-doubt\, Symphony No. 5 endures and proves its widespread appeal as it continues to bring enjoyment to concert halls like Kleinhans. \nJoAnn Falletta\, conductor\nColin Currie\, percussion \nDANNY ELFMAN  Percussion Concerto\nTCHAIKOVSKY  Symphony No. 5 in E minor

SUMMARY:Brahms & Bruch
DESCRIPTION:The concert opens with The Banks of Green Willow\, George Butterworth’s idyllic work comprised of two English folk songs. The pastoral piece premiered just two years before the promising young composer’s demise in the trenches of World War I. German composer Max Bruch was similarly fascinated with folk song and captivated by Scottish traditions. He wove these melodies into his violin showpiece\, Scottish Fantasy. The orchestration aurally paints many Scottish scenes for listeners as Bruch emulates bagpipes and war music. Meanwhile\, in Brahms’ expressive Symphony No. 1\, finely dubbed “Beethoven’s Tenth”—the composer set out to follow in the musical giant’s footprints after hearing his Ninth Symphony. While many Early-Romantic composers attempted to emulate Beethoven through stark contrasts and an abundance of stunning melodies\, Brahms followed Beethoven’s precedent for allowing just a few musical ideas to undergo a journey and transformation throughout a piece. Through the development of these ideas\, Brahms tells a story\, rife with compelling drama. Due to his perfectionism\, the piece gestated for twenty-two years before he allowed it to be heard by the public. Listeners will swing on the emotional pendulum as the movements progress\, before the concert ends with a sweeping chorale and majestic final cadence. \nJoAnn Falletta\, conductor\nSimone Porter\, violin \nBUTTERWORTH  The Banks of Green Willow\nBRUCH  Scottish Fantasy\nBRAHMS  Symphony No. 1 in C minor
