SUMMARY:Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra presents Treasures of Youth and Age
DESCRIPTION:Pro Arte’s 47th season opens with Louisville-based conductor Gabriel Lefkowitz leading an expressive program for the strings\, principal clarinetist Ian Greitzer\, and principal bassoonist Ronald Haroutunian. In her Canyons\, from 2018\, Tanner Porter paints nature at its most jagged\, imposing\, and majestic. A work like no other\, Richard Strauss’s vibrant Duett-Concertino features writing so organic\, its solo clarinet and bassoon seem to become living\, breathing characters. Although Josef Suk’s warm Serenade was a departure from his melancholy style\, it won him early critical acclaim from Johannes Brahms and positioned him as the successor to his teacher Antonín Dvořák\, and it brings this first concert to an elegant close.

SUMMARY:Pro Arte presents Strings of Light
DESCRIPTION:Pro Arte welcomes conductor Adrian Slywotsky for a fascinating concert with Pro Arte’s strings.  Rather than featuring a soloist\, Vivaldi’s boisterous Concerto for Strings in D Major gives the whole orchestra a chance to show off.  In her 2013 Teen Murti (“three representations” in Hindi)\, Reena Esmail combines traditional Hindustani raag with Western composition technique to present\, in her words\, “three large musical ‘figures’ that are adjoined by short interludes—similar to the idea behind Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition.”  Pēteris Vasks’s named his second cello concerto Klātbūtne\, Latvian for “presence” and an allusion to the work’s spiritual meditation on the human condition.  Vasks has said the work “suggests the soul ascending into the cosmos\,” which is especially true of its elegiac final movement.  In Ludwig van Beethoven’s first string quartet\, arranged for Pro Arte by its cellist Leo Egughi\, we hear the composer marking the genre bequeathed to him by Haydn and Mozart with his own distinct and consequential voice. \nMusical Program\nAntonio Vivaldi String Symphony No. 2 in D Major\, \nPeteris Vasks Adagio from Cello Concerto No. 2 “Presence” \nReena Esmail Teen Murti \nLudwig van Beethoven String Quartet No. 1\, op 18\, arr. Eguchi

SUMMARY:Pro Arte presents The Unbroken Circle
DESCRIPTION:THE UNBROKEN CIRCLE\nApril 7\, 2024 \n3:00PM \nSecond Church in Newton \n60 Highland Street\, West Newton\, MA\, USA \nMusical Program\nJeff Beal Overture to Pollock\nRichard Strauss Horn Concerto No. 1 in E-flat Major\, op. 11\nBeal The Great Circle\nOttorino Respighi Gli Uccelli (The Birds) \nTICKETS\nIn April\, Emmy-winning composer Jeff Beal leads Pro Arte in a wide-ranging concert featuring his own works and Boston Symphony Orchestra hornist Michael Winter. Known for writing soundtracks to numerous films and television series\, including House of Cards\, Beal opens the concert with his sparkling Pollock Overture\, from the 2000 film directed by and starring Ed Harris. The concerto and its soloist share a paternal connection: Richard Strauss composed his majestic first horn concerto for his father Franz\, and Winter’s first horn teacher was his father’s father James. Beal’s suite The Great Circle\, a response to California’s tragic wildfires and mudslides in 2017–18\, depicts nature’s elements—earth\, air\, fire\, water—and their cyclic power to destroy and renew. Ottorino Respighi composed several suites based on music from earlier centuries. His enchanting Gli uccelli (The Birds) presents orchestral arrangements of Baroque harpsichord pieces inspired by birds.

The concert concludes with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 in G minor\, a work well loved for its intense emotional energy.

SUMMARY:Pro Arte presents Dancing Through the Centuries
DESCRIPTION:Dancing through the Centuries\nSunday\, May 21\, 2023 3pm\nEarl Lee\, conductor \nPro Arte and Earl Lee\, Assistant Conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra\, have crafted a fascinating program based on music and movement stretching back six hundred years. Béla Bartók wrote that he would raise the folk music in and around his native Hungary “to the level of art song.” His popular Romanian Folk Dances are evocative arrangements of traditional Transylvanian fiddle tunes. The soulful songs of Southern chain gangs inspired Kenji Bunch’s powerful Supermaximum. Battalia\, by Baroque composer Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber\, is a bracing depiction of a battle that requires unconventional techniques from its string players. As the first Black woman to be widely recognized as a symphonic composer\, Florence Price was a pioneer in American music. Her Andante moderato is a luminous arrangement of the slow movement from one of her string quartets. In music\, La Follia—Italian for “folly”—refers to a frenzied peasant dance from fifteenth-century Portugal. The dance’s catchy chord progression later spread throughout Europe\, forming the basis for countless compositions\, including a set of variations for solo violin by Arcangelo Corelli\, which was later arranged by his pupil Francesco Geminiani for string orchestra. In her La Follia Variations\, contemporary composer Michi Wiancko takes this a step further\, reflecting Geminiani’s Baroque concerto grosso in a dreamy twenty-first-century mirror. \nPROGRAM\nBéla Bartók Romanian Dances\nKenji Bunch Supermaximum\nHeinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber Battalia\nFlorence Price Andante moderato\nArcangelo Corelli/Francesco Geminiani\, Arr.

Violinist Steven Copes returns for a concert where all voices are equal and all parts share in the spotlight.\n\nPro Arte welcomes conductor Alyssa Wang and violinist Steven Copes\, Concertmaster of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra\, for a concert of riveting works\, both warmly familiar and boldly inventive.  In Frog’s Eye\, the contemporary composer Evan Ziporyn meticulously layers musical lines to open a vista bustling with life.  The Concerto for string orchestra by the twentieth-century Polish composer Grażyna Bacewicz is a carefully crafted work of breathtaking force.  Johannes Brahms composed his majestic Violin Concerto for the violinist Joseph Joachim\, a close friend and collaborator.  Throughout the stately opening movement\, the lyrical Adagio\, and the fiery finale\, Brahms’s music is characteristically expressive\, heartfelt\, and dramatic.

SUMMARY:Pro Arte presents VOLCANIC!
DESCRIPTION:Join Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra and conductor Gisèle Ben-Dor as she returns to lead Pro Arte in a sweeping program featuring American violinist Lucia Lin—a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and a professor at Boston University. Ludwig van Beethoven’s Octet is a playful suite in the tradition of wind band music popular in Austria at the time. A century later\, the Venezuelan-American composer Teresa Carreño wrote a Romantic take on the Classical suite during a stay in the Alps. Her intoxicating Serenade for strings conveys all the charm of the Austrian lakeside village where it was written. In the music of the contemporary composer J.P. Jofre\, one hears the tango of his native Argentina alongside the jazz of New York City\, where he now lives. His violin concerto Mauna Loa\, co-commissioned by Lucia Lin (and performed in its US premiere by Pro Arte in March 2022)\, is a vibrant work capturing the immense power of the world’s largest active volcano.

SUMMARY:Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra presents Ensemble 2
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, June 12\, 2022\n3:00 PM War Memorial Auditorium\, Newton City Hall \nERROLLYN WALLEN Photography: Movement 1 (2007)\nMOZART Violin Concerto No.5 in A Major\, K. 219\nHAYDN Symphony No. 49 in F minor\, Hob. 1:49 (“La Passione”) \nKevin Rhodes\, conductor\nJulia Cash\, violin \nIn June\, Pro Arte celebrates its newly appointed Concertmaster\, violinist Julia Cash\, for a concert of contemporary and Classical works. \nBelizean-British composer Errollyn Wallen wrote Photography in 2005 as a series of snapshots inspired by musical memories. Its first movement\, based on what she calls “a simple motif\,” opens the program with irrepressible vibrancy. \nWolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s enchanting Fifth Violin Concerto offers a number of delightful surprises. In the otherwise spirited opening movement\, the soloist makes an unconventional entrance with a slow\, songlike interlude. Another interruption occurs in the finale\, in which a Turkish-style march is interjected into a fluid minuet. \nIt is unclear whether the nickname of Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 49\, “La passione”\, refers to the character of its music\, but it still perfectly describes this somber work. The symphony burns with intensity from beginning to end and brings the concert to an impassioned close.

SUMMARY:Festival of the Arts: Pro Arte Quartet
DESCRIPTION:As part of the 6th Annual Newton Festival of the Arts\, enjoy a concert from Pro Arte’s Quartet. \nJuneteenth marks the anniversary of the emancipation of slaves in the United States. The quartet will share three works by African American composers\, each of which has moments of dance and reflection. Wynton Marsalis’ At the Octoroon Balls is a set of scenes inspired by his early life in New Orleans. We will play three movements from this work – Creole Contradanzas\, Blue Lights on the Bayou\, and the Rampart Street Row House Rag. Florence Price’s String Quartet No. 2 in A minor weaves together her beautiful lyric writing and African American vernacular with daring chromaticism and vibrant movement. The third movement (of four) is a Juba\, a dance developed by Africans brought to America against their will. Dorothy Rudd Moore’s Modes is a beautiful and compact three-movement work\, which ends with an energetic\, movement-inspiring finale. Lisa Goddard & Colin Davis\, violins\, Anne Black\, viola\, and Steve Laven\, cello.
