SUMMARY:Beethoven Symphony No. 9 Concert
DESCRIPTION:Always a popular concert\, Beethoven’s 9th Symphony is sure to be a crowd favorite\, according to Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra Music Director Libor Ondras. \nAccording to Ondras\, the famous pianissimo opening — 16 measures with no secure sense of key or rhythm – does not so much depict the journey from darkness to light\, or from chaos to order\, as the birth of sound itself. \n“There’s something astonishing about a deaf composer choosing to open a symphony with music that reveals\, like no other music before it\, the very essence of sound emerging from silence\,” Ondras explained. “This symphony shows Beethoven using all the subtlety and mastery of his craft\, a breakthrough work— music’s first crossover composition. It’s also likely that in the text he picked for the symphony’s finale— Schiller’s hymn to universal brotherhood—Beethoven found the sense of community he craved as a comfort against personal loss and loneliness.” \n  \nAccording to Ondras\, Beethoven’s grandest symphony and most influential composition was premiered in the concert on May 7\, 1824. By 1824\, Beethoven was almost completely deaf. He had long given up performing on piano in public\, withdrawing completely from social life of Viennese society. When\, in one of the most famous accounts in all music\, the audience burst into applause (some say it was at the end of the scherzo; others at the end of the symphony) Beethoven couldn’t hear the ovation. He stood\, his back to the crowd\, leafing through his score. Only when the contralto soloist\, Carolyn Unger\, tapped him on the shoulder and turned him around did he see his public applauding wildly. \n  \nThe work surpassed everything Beethoven already accomplished in the field of the symphony. With his 9th he was determined to move mankind as never before. For several years after Beethoven’s death\, his 9th Symphony was considered too difficult to perform. It was not established in the repertory until the middle of the 19th century\, and from then on\, Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony has maintained its singular status as a cultural symbol of unsurpassed importance.

SUMMARY:Take to the Sky Concert
DESCRIPTION:Violin soloist for this concert is Dmitri Berlinsky.\n\n\nThe theme of this concert\, entitled “Take to the Sky”\, centers around the portrayals of bird calls in classical music. \nVaughan Williams’ “Lark Ascending” features a silvery solo violin line fluttering\, reaching up ever higher above the orchestra’s hushed\, held chord creating an instant atmosphere depicting a lark as ‘he rises and begins to round’. \nCompleted in 1914\, the British composer’s pastoral romance for violin and orchestra is an evocation of the ‘seraphically free’ song of the skylark\, inspired by George Meredith’s poem of the same name: \n“He rises and begins to round\, \nHe drops the silver chain of sound \nOf many links without a break\, \nIn chirrup\, whistle\, slur and shake\, \nAll intervolv’d and spreading wide\, \nLike water-dimples down a tide \nWhere ripple ripple overcurls …” \nOndras said “Lark Ascending” will feature internationally-known violinist Dmitri Berlinsky performing with the Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra as a soloist. Berlinsky\, professor of violin and artist teacher at the Michigan State University College of Music\, has performed in major venues such as Carnegie and Avery Fisher halls in New York\, The Kennedy Center in Washington\, D.C.\, Tokyo’s Suntory Hall\, the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory\, and Mariinsky Concert Hall. \nOther featured music in “Take to the Sky” includes: \nOttorino Respighi – “Gli Uccelli” (The Birds) \nAccording to Ondras\, this five-movement work features a dove (La colomba) with a heartfelt oboe melody; the familiar call of the Cuckoo (Il Cucù); the chirpy Hen movement (La gallina)\, based on the same Rameau harpsichord work (The Hen\, or La poule) that inspired St. Saens for his ‘Hens and cockerels’ movement in Carnival of Animals. \nRautavaara – “Cantus Arcticus” \nWhy imitate birds in music when you can use the real thing? \nRautavaara’s “concerto for birds and orchestra”\, as it’s subtitled\, uses taped birdsong throughout\, taking Respighi’s idea one step further\, Ondras explained. The Finnish composer headed off on a field trip to near the Arctic Circle (hence the title) and to the marshlands of Liminka in Northern Finland to record the calls of a whole host of birds. Listening to it is like stepping into an avian paradise\, with the melancholy song of the shore larks as unforgettable as the migrating whooper swans. The bird calls are juxtaposed with a lush orchestral score. \nBeethoven’s 6th Symphony\, 2nd Movement

SUMMARY:Sunday Series: Libor Ondras and The Hummel Trio - We have reached our maximum capacity!
DESCRIPTION:*Due to 50% capacity and 6′ COVID distancing\, we have reached our maximum audience capacity!!\n\nThe Hummel Trio\, featuring\nLibor Ondras – violin\nAndrew Laven\, cello\nEmily Grabinski\, piano\n\n\nA free concert featuring Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra (GLCO) Music Director and violinist Libor Ondras is slated for Sunday\, May 16\, at First Presbyterian Church\, 7940 Cemetery Rd.\, Harbor Springs. \nOndras will perform with The Hummel Trio at the 4 p.m. concert\, which is open to the public. In addition to Ondras\, the trio includes cellist Andrew Laven and pianist Emily Grabinski. \nThe group will perform three selections: Ludwig Van Beethoven’s Trio op. 70 No. 1 (Ghost); Franz Schubert’s Nocturne op. 148; and Dmitri Shostakovich’s Trio No. 2 op. 67. \nPublished in 1809\, Beethoven’s Trio Opus 70 contains two trio compositions and was written specifically for violin\, piano and cello. Thought to be the among Beethoven’s best work in the trio genre\, “Ghost” is performed in D major. \nAlso referred to as “Adagio\,” Schubert’s Nocturne op. 148 was completed in 1827 and offers a prime example of the Austrian composer’s chamber music. Nocturnes are musical pieces that refer to or are evocative of nighttime. \nDedicated to one of Shostakovich’s best friends\, Trio No. 2 op. 67 contains four movements and lasts 25-27 minutes. Another selection written for violin\, piano and cello\, the composition was penned during World War II. \nThe trio will also perform with young musicians from the Gerber Strings program. \nNow in its 20th year\, the GLCO is back on track following a year-long pandemic shutdown. Judith Zorn\, GLCO executive director\, said everyone affiliated with the orchestra is excited to be performing again with an exciting list of events yet to come this year. \nWhile May brings the free Sunday Series in Harbor Springs\, June ushers in a GLCO main stage performance – “Americana” – at Hall Auditorium in Bay View on Saturday\, June 5\, 7-9 p.m. Tickets are available via www.glcorchestra.org. \nThe June 5 concert is also significant due to GLCO’s recent selection by the League of American Orchestras (LAO) as one of 10 orchestras to be featured at the League’s National Conference June 7-17. A recording of GLCO’s “Americana” concert will be featured during the event. \n“With a nod to the past and a look to the future\, the Americana performance highlights a great variety of American composers\,” Zorn said. “George Gershwin’s ‘Rhapsody in Blue’ is in the program\, and flautist Helen Hanchin\, will receive belated honors for winning the 2019 Young Artist Competition\, as well as perform with the orchestra. All in all\, this concert will be lots of fun! We’ll get to honor some of our young artists and hear some wonderful music.” \nThe Sunday Series event is free\, but seating is limited. Seat reservations can be made by calling the orchestra office. \nTickets for the June Bay View concert\, which features the full orchestra\, are $30. \nThe GLCO is a regional professional orchestra providing live orchestral concerts that entertain\, educate and inspire. For more information\, call the GLCO office at 231-487-0010 or visit their website. \n  \n\n\nWhat’s the Hummel Trio? \nThe Hummel Trio is an ensemble-in-residence at the Grand Rapids Community College department of music. \nAn initiative of violinist Dr. Libor Ondras\, who also serves as the Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra’s music director\, the group started its artistic activities in 2020 when pianist Emily Grabinski and cellist Andrew Laven joined the faculty at GRCC. \nThe trio’s name and research focus centers on the chamber music output of Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837)\, a prodigious student of Mozart\, Haydn\, Salieri\, and Beethoven. The ensemble performs concerts throughout Western Michigan\, provides workshops for college students\, and collaborates with high school programs through chamber music initiatives. \n \nLibor Ondras\, violin \nDr. Libor Ondras is a conductor\, viola recitalist\, and educator. He began his studies as a\nrecipient of the Slovak Ministry of Culture fellowship to study viola at the prestigious Moscow Conservatory with Yuri Bashmet.
