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
