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 Copland drew Dance Symphony’s rhythmic jazz motifs from his evocative\, unpublished vampire ballet about a morbid conjurer who could raise the dead and make them dance.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

SUMMARY:Pablo's Guitar
DESCRIPTION:This program will take listeners on a tour of melodies hailing from around the world. Bacewicz’s six-minute Overture for Orchestra was composed during the German occupation of Poland and offers an exciting\, perpetually shifting palette of colors. The short duration of this Overture does not keep Bacewicz from demonstrating a litany of orchestral sounds and moods in her composition\, overlooked until recently. Meanwhile\, Spaniard Joaquin Rodrigo’s animated Concierto de Aranjuez features elaborate instrumentation for classical guitar. The piece took its first recorded form as a Braille manuscript carried into Spain by Rodrigo at the outbreak of the Second World War. Fauré’s Pelléas et Mélisande Suite offers a contemplative reprieve in a romantic and tragic orchestral retelling of elicit lovers and their star-crossed fate\, and Alexander Borodin brings the program’s close with his colorful Symphony No. 2\, which evokes the exuberance of Russian folk dances. This concert brings the songs of people across time and space to listeners for an experience full of diverse musical landscapes. \nAnna Sułkowska-Migoń\, conductor\nPablo Sáinz Villegas\, guitar \nBACEWICZ  Overture for Orchestra\nRODRIGO  Concierto de Aranjuez\nFAURÉ  Pelléas et Mélisande Suite\nBORODIN  Symphony No. 2 in B minor

Meanwhile\, Spaniard Joaquin Rodrigo’s animated Concierto de Aranjuez features elaborate instrumentation for classical guitar. The piece took its first recorded form as a Braille manuscript carried into Spain by Rodrigo at the outbreak of the Second World War. Fauré’s Pelléas et Mélisande Suite offers a contemplative reprieve in a romantic and tragic orchestral retelling of elicit lovers and their star-crossed fate\, and Alexander Borodin brings the program’s close with his colorful Symphony No. 2\, which evokes the exuberance of Russian folk dances. This concert brings the songs of people across time and space to listeners for an experience full of diverse musical landscapes. \nAnna Sułkowska-Migoń\, conductor\nPablo Sáinz Villegas\, guitar \nBACEWICZ  Overture for Orchestra\nRODRIGO  Concierto de Aranjuez\nFAURÉ  Pelléas et Mélisande Suite\nBORODIN  Symphony No. 2 in B minor

SUMMARY:Mendelssohn & Dvořák
DESCRIPTION:The concert opens with Franco-Brazilian composer Elodie Bouny’s striking homage to the Amazon rainforest and the destruction it has faced in the form of Ignis—meaning “fire.” The piece serves as a contemporary complement to Mendelssohn’s exquisite and romantic Violin Concerto\, which features a turning-point cadenza as a center jewel. Award-winning soloist Amaryn Olmeda brings Mendelssohn’s virtuosic and vivacious melodies to the stage. Countering the sparkling energy of the concerto\, but no less joyful\, Dvořák’s pastoral Symphony No. 8 vividly depicts Czech songs and dances through rich\, pleasing melodies and harmonies. The symphony reflects the composer’s musings on the implications of nature\, as well as his own experience enjoying its benefits. \nRoberto Minczuk\, conductor\nAmaryn Olmeda\, violin \nELODIE BOUNY   Ignis\nMENDELSSOHN  Violin Concerto in E minor\nDVOŘAK  Symphony No. 8 in G major

SUMMARY:Haydn Cello Concerto
DESCRIPTION:The powerful\, tense chords of Sibelius’ patriotic Finlandia open a program filled with nationalistic pride. The orchestration is stirring\, powerful\, and yet restrained at times—evocative of the fact that the symphonic poem was written as the composer’s “battle hymn” for Finland as it faced political opposition.

The concerto remained undiscovered for two centuries until its chance 1961 find at the Czech National Library. Unearthed at last\, listeners may once again enjoy its thrilling runs\, expansive melodies\, and delightful interplay between solo and orchestra. Grieg’s four charming Symphonic Dances\, inspired by Norwegian folk songs\, close the program with jaunty rhythms and folk-dance melodies that played a key role in formalizing Norway’s national identity. \nRune Bergmann\, conductor\nSterling Elliott\, cello \nSIBELIUS  Finlandia\nHAYDN  Cello Concerto No. 1 in C major\nGRIEG  Symphonic Dances

SUMMARY:Carmina Burana
DESCRIPTION:As the first of a trilogy of cantatas\, Orff’s irreverent Carmina Burana draws from a 13th century compilation of medieval vagabond songs and poems detailing fate’s fickleness\, pagan delights\, and corruption. The primitivistic piece enraptures audiences with its hypnotic sensuality\, preoccupation with a chant-like and ritualistic style\, and powerful rhythms. Fantastic solo voices joined by the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus sing of the full range of human love\, from pining to ecstatic and more. Hindemith’s reworked Symphonic Dances complete the program\, which emerged from discarded ballet collaborations. Challenging counterpoint as well as soft\, dignified passages constitute this Neo-Classical piece written in a tumultuous era of history. \nJoAnn Falletta\, conductor\nSara LeMesh\, soprano\nKameron Lopreore\, tenor\nJoshua Conyers\, baritone\nBuffalo Philharmonic Chorus \nHINDEMITH  Symphonic Dances\nORFF  Carmina Burana

SUMMARY:Carmina Burana
DESCRIPTION:As the first of a trilogy of cantatas\, Orff’s irreverent Carmina Burana draws from a 13th century compilation of medieval vagabond songs and poems detailing fate’s fickleness\, pagan delights\, and corruption. The primitivistic piece enraptures audiences with its hypnotic sensuality\, preoccupation with a chant-like and ritualistic style\, and powerful rhythms. Fantastic solo voices joined by the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus sing of the full range of human love\, from pining to ecstatic and more. Hindemith’s reworked Symphonic Dances complete the program\, which emerged from discarded ballet collaborations. Challenging counterpoint as well as soft\, dignified passages constitute this Neo-Classical piece written in a tumultuous era of history. \nJoAnn Falletta\, conductor\nSara LeMesh\, soprano\nKameron Lopreore\, tenor\nJoshua Conyers\, baritone\nBuffalo Philharmonic Chorus \nHINDEMITH  Symphonic Dances\nORFF  Carmina Burana
