Welcome to Symphony Center!On January 15, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and

Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti embarked for Asia on its sixty-first international tour. This tour includes concerts in Taipei, Taiwan; Shanghai and Beijing, China; and Tokyo and Osaka, Japan. The five concerts in Tokyo include two special performances of Verdi’s Requiem, for which the Orchestra is joined by the Tokyo Opera Singers chorus and a distinguished cast of soloists. In addition to concerts, members of the Orchestra perform in schools, community centers, and hospitals with the support of the Negaunee Music Institute. Touring allows the CSO to share its incredible musicianship internationally, thereby expanding its influence and serving as a exemplary cul-tural ambassador for the city of Chicago.

While the CSO travels, Symphony Center Presents brings the world to Chicago, welcoming the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra from Amsterdam and host-ing the annual Chinese New Year Celebration featuring the Hubei Chime Bells National Chinese Orchestra and

the China National Peking Opera Company. The SCP Jazz series continues its twenty-fifth season with the Joshua Redman Quartet and the Anat Cohen Tentet performing a new concerto by Oded Lev-Ari entitled Triple Helix, a Symphony Center Presents Jazz series co-commission with Carnegie Hall.

When the CSO returns to Chicago, it is joined by conductor Pablo Heras-Casado and pianist Simon Trpčeski for Tchaikovsky’s First Symphony and Rachmaninov’s Third Piano Concerto. The CSO at the Movies series continues with a one-night-only performance of Hitchcock’s North by Northwest, and the free All-Access Chamber Music series features CSO members performing music by Khachaturian, Glinka, and Taneyev.

CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

RICCARDO MUTIZELL MUSIC DIRECTOR

SYMPHONY CENTER

PRESENTS

2019–20 SEASON

february 2019 5

I t will be a remarkable experience to explore each symphony through the

interpretive powers of Riccardo Muti paired with the expres-sive capabilities of the CSO. Th is cycle includes their fi rst performances together of the First, Th ird (Eroica), and Sixth (Pastoral) symphonies. Th e season culminates in a fi nale performance of the Ninth Symphony, a work that the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus last performed with Muti to great acclaim and worldwide attention in 2014. (You can watch this performance on YouTube. It has garnered more than 14 million views [and counting] to date!) “We should all become broth-ers and sisters,” says Riccardo Muti. “Th is is the message of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. . . . For two hundred and fi ft y years, we have tried to fi nd the secret behind the untouchable music of this divine architect and to comprehend the enor-mity of his timeless philosophical, spiritual, and human message.”

Th is Beethoven celebration extends to perfor-mances of concertos, chamber music, and works

for solo piano. Th e Symphony Center Presents (SCP) Piano series includes all thirty-two sonatas, featuring renowned interpreters in recitals that span the Sunday series as well as three additional evenings. A poet of the piano, Beethoven established much of his reputation on keyboard works of great originality and pathos that continue to resonate with listeners

On January 29, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association announced its 2019–20 season. Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti, in his tenth season as music director, and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra will honor the 250th anniversary of the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827) by performing a complete cycle of his iconic symphonies. Famously described by musicologist Donald J. Grout as, “a colossus astride the two centuries,” Beethoven synthesized the tradition that preceded him and created an awesome wake that would influence all music to follow.

Fall in Love with Music October 19, 2018The ninth annual Fall in Love with Music event took place on Friday, October 19, 2018. This is a unique fundraising event pre-sented each year by the League of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association. This year, Fall in Love with Music took place at the University Club of Chicago and featured an intimate discussion with conductor Marin Alsop, the first female music director of a major American orchestra; and the award-winning composer Bruno Mantovani, whose CSO-commissioned Threnos received its world premiere with Alsop and the CSO in concerts on October 18–20. At the event, CSO musicians Max Raimi and Danny Lai performed original viola duets composed by Raimi. In addition, the world-re-nowned concert pianist Daniil Trifonov joined the attendees for dinner. In past years, Fall in Love with Music has been a luncheon event, but this year the evening began at 4:30 p.m. with a cocktail hour preceding the discussion and performance, followed by a plated, three-course dinner. Over $56,000 was raised, and a won-derful time was had by all!

Although Rachmaninov’s music is some-times confused with the treacly romanti-cism of the Hollywood soundtracks it once inspired, Rachmaninov himself was a serious and aristocratic artist. He was one of the greatest pianists in history—an astonish-ing virtuoso in the heroic tradition of Liszt—but there was nothing flashy about his stage manner. Rachmaninov was

surprisingly somber and remote for a crowd-pleasing superstar. He rarely smiled or courted the audience, and even his close-cropped haircut, of a kind that is ubiquitous today but was highly suspect at the time (like that of a convict, as the Russian bass Fyodor Chaliapin said) suggested a stern presence. (Chaliapin also scolded him for his curt, peremptory bows.) Much later, Stravinsky called him “a six-and-a-half-foot-tall scowl.”

Rachmaninov would have become famous if he had done nothing but concertize. But his true aspiration was to become a composer. At the Moscow Conservatory, his teacher Nikolai Zverev encouraged him to stick to the piano instead of writing music, but Rachmaninov tried his hand at composing some piano pieces and an orchestral scherzo, and he even started an opera, Esmeralda. Unable to choose between composition and performance, Rachmaninov ultimately decided to pursue both, eventually becoming a fine conductor as well. In 1889, the year he and Zverev parted ways, he sketched and abandoned a piano concerto, but the one he began the following year is his first major work—the one that became his op. 1. This is the score that made his name as a composer, and it was completed in a rush of passion and elation, with Rachmaninov working from five in the morning until eight in the evening and scoring the last two movements in just two and a half days. It would be ten years, however, before Rachmaninov finished his Second Piano Concerto, which quickly became his greatest hit and his calling card. He played it with the Chicago Symphony when he made his debut in Orchestra Hall, on December 3, 1909—the first of his eight appearances with the Orchestra.

A lthough Chicago didn’t get to hear it, by then Rachmaninov

had written a third piano concerto, tailor-made for his first North American tour in late 1909. Rachmaninov introduced the work in New York on November 28, with Walter Damrosch and the New York Symphony. He played it there again in January, with Gustav Mahler conducting the New York Philharmonic (only weeks after Mahler’s own First Symphony, in its American premiere, was a flop). Rachmaninov was bowled over by Mahler’s meticulous rehearsal method—“the accompaniment,” Rachmaninov recalled, “which is rather complicated, had been practiced to the point of perfection”—by his attention to detail, and by his refusal to stop working until he was satisfied (rehearsal ran an hour overtime). The New York Times thought Rachmaninov’s playing occasionally lacked brilliance, but that “the orchestral accompaniment was outstanding.” The New York Herald, some-what half-heartedly, called the work one of the “most interesting piano concertos of recent years,” but noted that “its great length and extreme difficulties bar it from performances by any but pianists of exceptional technical powers”—an assessment that still holds today. (Rachmaninov played the concerto when he appeared with the Chicago Symphony for the second time, in January 1920.)

Although in 1909 Rachmaninov was known as one of the great piano virtuosos, he began his new concerto not with solo fireworks, but with something of almost Mozartean clarity and understatement—a discreet accompaniment to which the piano adds a quiet, simple melody in bare octaves. It’s as plain and haunting as chant, and although Rachmaninov told musicolo-gist Joseph Yasser that the theme came to him “ready-made,” Yasser wasn’t surprised when he

later discovered a strikingly similar Russian liturgical mel-ody. Rachmaninov said that he thought of the piano theme as a kind of song, and he took pains to find an accompaniment “that would not muffle this sing-ing.” (He was understandably delighted with the care Mahler lavished on the orchestral part.) As the movement progresses,

both melody and accompaniment are explored and developed at length, as is a lyrical second theme. The climax of the movement is the mag-nificent solo cadenza, as long and as tough as any in the repertoire, which takes the place of a formal recapitulation. (The piano writing is so symphonic, complex, and multifaceted that we barely notice that the orchestra has temporarily dropped out.)

In the middle-movement intermezzo—a curi-ously “light” title for music so big and involved—the piano’s entrance is both unmistakable and disruptive, for it takes control with its first phrase and leads the music in new directions (eventu-ally settling in D-flat, an unexpected destina-tion for a concerto in D minor). A “new” waltz theme, introduced by the clarinet and bassoon, over fancy piano filigree, is a cleverly disguised version—almost note for note—of the concerto’s monastic opening melody.

The finale, which begins fully formed while the intermezzo is still finishing up, is the kind of virtuosic tour de force Rachmaninov’s fans expected in 1909 and courageous pianists still love delivering today. It’s also richly inventive, with a fantastic, playful scherzando (in E-flat!) as a mid-movement diversion. The ending, predict-ably, is designed to test the limits of virtuosity and bring down the house.

T hroughout Rachmaninov’s life, it was fashionable—if not in fact honorable in progressive music circles—to disparage

his music. Rachmaninov had always worried that by splitting his time among playing the piano, conducting, and composing, he had spread himself too thin. “I have chased three hares,” he once said. “Can I be certain that I have captured one?” For many years, Rachmaninov’s stature as a pianist was undisputed. But by the time of his death in 1943 (he appeared with the Chicago Symphony for the last time just six weeks before he died), he had been written off as an old-fashioned composer—hopelessly sentimental, out of touch, and irrelevant. As Virgil Thomson told the young playwright Edward Albee in 1948, “It is really extraordinary, after all, that a com-poser so famous should have enjoyed so little the esteem of his fellow composers.” The sacrosanct

Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, in its fifth edition, published in the 1950s, concluded its dismal appraisal of his output: “The enormous popular success some few of Rachmaninov’s works had in his lifetime is not likely to last, and musicians never regarded it with much favor.” But in recent years, his star has been on the rise. Now, as Rachmaninov always hoped, it is his music and not his piano playing that keeps his name alive. Fittingly, for a composer who once inspired a generation of movie composers, Rachmaninov’s Third Piano Concerto even played a leading role in Shine, the 1996 film about the Australian pianist David Helfgott and his heroic struggles to learn and perform “Rach 3,” the most formidable of all piano concertos.

THE SUPREME VIRTUOSO: “THERE IS NOTHING HE CANNOT DO AT THE KEYBOARD”

Sergei Rachmaninov made his first appearances with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra on December 3 and 4, 1909, conducting his Isle of the Dead and performing as soloist in his Second Piano Concerto with Frederick Stock conducting. For more than thirty years, he regularly appeared in Chicago, both as recitalist and with the Orchestra, performing as soloist in his four concertos and the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and conducting his Third Symphony and choral symphony The Bells.

He first performed his Third Piano Concerto, again with Stock on the podium, on January 23 and 24, 1920. Despite a nasty Chicago storm, Orchestra Hall was packed for the Friday mati-nee. “The concert of yesterday after-noon was an event,” wrote Karleton Hackett in the Evening Post. “I do not care what the verdict of twenty years from now may be regarding this concerto, for I have just listened to a performance of it that stirred me deeply. . . . It was a work of a man who understands the capac-ity of the instrument and can write for it in the fresh, vigorous idiom of our day such music as brings out its peculiar power and charm. What is quite as much to the point, he himself can play the instrument with a mastery that makes every phrase a delight. Rachmaninov has supreme virtuosity. There is noth-ing he cannot do at the keyboard, from the most exquisite delicacy of ornamentation to the downright stroke of elemental power. . . . The music was so vigorous, expressing so spontaneously the emotion of our own time that it seemed as though it were being struck out in the white

heat of the creative impulse of the moment.”

In January 1932, the composer was again in Chicago for three concerts with Stock and the Orchestra. After a performance of the second concerto on January 12, Herman Devries in the American reported, “It was not Chicago . . . it was not Orchestra Hall . . . it was not Rachmaninov . . . to me it seemed Olympus, and we were all gods. Thus does music glorify when it is itself glorious. It is not the first time that I have waxed passion-ately enthusiastic over the genius of Rachmaninov. After hearing Horowitz [in recital] on Sunday [January 10], we thought that the season’s thrills were nearly complete.”

Later that week, on January 14 and 15, Rachmaninov was soloist in his third concerto. “The most exciting event in the history of Orchestra Hall occurred last night,” wrote Glenn Dillard Gunn in the Herald and Examiner. “With one impulse,

the audience rose and shouted its approval. Many eyes were wet and many throats were hoarse before the demonstration ended. For once on their feet, the listeners remained to cheering after the Orchestra had trumpeted and thundered its fanfare and long after the composer-pianist had brought Dr. Stock to the foot-lights to share his honors. Never have I witnessed such a tribute . . . and never, it is my sincere convic-tion, has such response been so

richly deserved.”Rachmaninov’s final

appearances with the Orchestra were on February 11 and 12, 1943, in Beethoven’s First Piano Concerto and his Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, under the baton

of associate conductor Hans Lange. “Sergei Rachmaninov evoked a series of ovations when he appeared with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at Orchestra Hall last night,” wrote Claudia Cassidy in the Chicago Tribune. “His entrance won standing tribute from orches-tra and capacity audience, his Beethoven stirred a storm of grateful applause, and his own Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini ended the concert in a kind of avalanche of cumulative excitement.”

The following week, Rachmaninov traveled to Louisville and Knoxville for solo recitals on February 15 and 17, in what would be his final public performances. He died in Beverly Hills, California, on March 28, 1943.

In 1866, the year Tchaikovsky wrote his First Symphony, a middle-aged Anton Bruckner finally finished his own first symphony, after fifteen months of tough going and with two earlier efforts left abandoned and unfin-ished. Johannes Brahms had already been working quietly on his first symphony for a decade—and it would take another ten years before he was satisfied with it. But

Tchaikovsky, in his mid-twenties and fresh from the conserva-tory, launched his symphonic career with little anxiety or experience, turning out this Symphony no. 1 in a matter of months.

For most nineteenth-century composers, writing sympho-nies was serious business, particularly after Beethoven’s water-shed cycle of nine works, and, in the second half of the century, starting a first symphony was a genuine act of courage. Unlike Brahms, Tchaikovsky clearly did not suffer from the fear of following Beethoven’s example—without apparent difficulty, he composed a setting of Schiller’s “An die Freude” (which Beethoven set as the finale of his Ninth Symphony) to mark his graduation from the Saint Petersburg Conservatory in the fall of 1865. Straight out of school, with a silver medal and fine recom-mendations, Tchaikovsky set off for Moscow in January 1866, where he had accepted a teaching post at Nikolai Rubinstein’s Russian Musical Society (later the Moscow Conservatory). The move at first proved difficult, but Tchaikovsky soon fell into the pattern of teaching; reported “an unusually sympathetic relation-ship with the Moscow ladies whom I teach”; made many new friends, including his future publisher, Pyotr Jürgenson; discov-ered Dickens (The Pickwick Papers made him laugh aloud); and benefitted from the domineering presence of Rubinstein, who not only oversaw Tchaikovsky’s musical affairs and dictated his musical tastes, but also bought him an entire new wardrobe.

Tchaikovsky arrived in Moscow with no experience writ-ing for orchestra beyond his student efforts—an overture, The Storm, and the An die Freude cantata. Once settled, he finished the orchestration of a Concert Overture in C, which Rubinstein greatly disliked, and revised an Overture in F, which was suc-cessfully performed on March 16. By then, he had begun his

first symphony, apparently at Rubinstein’s urg-ing. Work went smoothly at first, at least until Tchaikovsky’s progress was derailed by the first artistic setback of his career. César Cui, still known to music students today as the spokes-man of the Five—the group of Russian compos-ers including Borodin, Balakirev, Mussorgsky, and Rimsky-Korsakov who banded together in 1875 to foster a national school of music—published a belated review of Tchaikovsky’s An die Freude, which he dismissed as “utterly feeble.” Tchaikovsky was devastated:

When I read that frightful judgment, I don’t know what I did with myself. My vision grew dark, my head spun, and I ran out of the cafe like a madman. I didn’t realize what I was doing, nor where I was. All day I wandered aimlessly through the city, repeating “I’m sterile, insignificant, nothing will come out of me, I’m ungifted.”

But Tchaikovsky went back to work on the symphony, which occupied several hours of each day and night. By May, he reported that it was going “sluggishly”; he was having trouble sleeping and began to fear death. For the rest of his life, he avoided composing at night because it reminded him of this painful time. That summer, when he went to visit his sister, he suffered from nervous

attacks, numbness in his hands and feet, and hallucinations. Not for the last time in his life, a doctor pronounced him “one step from insanity.”

When Tchaikovsky went back to Saint Petersburg in August, he showed the score to his former teachers, Nikolai Zaremba and Anton Rubinstein (Nikolai’s brother), who both criti-cized the music harshly. Tchaikovsky returned to Moscow and to work on the symphony, no doubt incorporating some of their suggestions. The piece was introduced to the public in stages. In December, the scherzo alone was played pub-licly in Moscow, without apparent success. Two months later, both the Adagio and the scherzo were performed to enthusiastic applause, and at least one decent review: “It is melodious to the highest degree, and excellently scored.” The entire symphony was given, under Nikolai Rubinstein’s baton, a year later, though it was not heard again for fifteen years. By then, Tchaikovsky had written many of the works for which he would long be remembered—Romeo and Juliet, the B-flat piano concerto, his only violin concerto, Swan Lake, the great opera Eugene Onegin, the 1812 Overture—and he had made great strides as a symphonist, with four already under his belt. Before the First Symphony was published in 1874, Tchaikovsky made a few minor adjustments. (Bruckner, on the other hand, revised his First Symphony in 1868, 1877, and 1884, and made even more extensive changes in 1890 and 1891.) At the time his First Symphony was performed in this final version, in Moscow in 1883, Tchaikovsky told a friend, “I have a soft spot for it, for it is a sin of my sweet youth.”

A ll his life, Tchaikovsky was painfully aware of his deficiencies as a composer—weaknesses that have never stood in the

way of enormous public favor. By 1883, he had enough experience with the problems of sym-phonic form to recognize how naive he was to tackle a symphony in his sweet youth, but the work is hardly a sin. Even in 1866, Tchaikovsky

had a sense of drama and orchestral color, and a way with melody that was far in advance of most other composers of the day. And he had already found his own voice. Listen to the opening of the symphony: an oddly distinctive melody in the flutes and bassoons over a mysterious rustle from the violins. The whole first movement, despite some spotty seam work, is remarkably fresh in its melodic outline and scoring—there is a moment at the start of the development section, when distant chords from the horns dance quietly over low strings, that previews the Waltz of the Flowers from The Nutcracker, written two decades later.

Not only is the oboe melody in the Adagio one of the earliest characteristic Tchaikovsky tunes, but the way it is echoed by the bassoon and encouraged by glistening scales from the flute would quickly become one of his signature effects. The first eight measures, serenely setting the stage for the main melody, were borrowed from

his student overture, The Storm.

Tchaikovsky wrote the scherzo first, reusing material originally intended for a piano sonata in C-sharp minor and demonstrating how much he had learned from the scores by Mendelssohn that he admired (the Italian Symphony was a particular favorite). The music for the trio midsection is new—Tchaikovsky’s first great orchestral waltz.

There is wonder-fully evocative and fiery dramatic music

in the finale—enough to disguise Tchaikovsky’s uncertainty in bringing a symphony to a satisfying conclusion, the challenge that had troubled nearly every composer since Beethoven. A rather labored fugue sits where heavy-duty development ought to take place, and there is a bit more bombast at the end than even Tchaikovsky could sustain, but there are many splendid moments, and the lasting impression is of a composer who was born to write symphonies.

A final word about the nickname, Winter Dreams, which Tchaikovsky himself invented, with no apparent programmatic idea in mind. He intended to give titles to all four movements, but got no farther than the Adagio before he decided to let the music stand on its own.

Orchestra featuring extensive touring and recording projects.

In 2018–19, Heras-Casado is Spotlight Artist of the NTR Matinee series at the Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, conducting the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra in addition to the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra and Mahler Chamber Orchestra on tour. He makes debuts with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and Orchestre symphonique de Montréal, and returns to the Orchestra of St. Luke’s at Carnegie Hall as its conductor laureate, following his tenure as principal conductor between 2011 and 2017. In January, Heras-Casado conducted Wagner’s Das Rheingold at Teatro Real, starting his first complete Ring cycle, spanning four consecutive seasons.

In great demand as a guest conductor with leading orchestras throughout the world, Heras-Casado is regularly re-invited to the United States by the San Francisco and Chicago symphony orchestras and the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Philadelphia Orchestra, while in Europe he has relationships with the Philharmonia and London symphony orchestras, Orchestre de Paris, Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra, and the Mariinsky Theatre Symphony Orchestra, among others. In addition, he recently began an import-ant collaboration with the Verbier Festival.

Highlights of his 2018–19 U.S. season include appearances at the Ravinia Festival with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Blossom Music Festival with the Cleveland Orchestra, Aspen, and the Cabrillo Festival; and returns to the New York Philharmonic and the National, Atlanta, and Houston symphony orchestras. Internationally, he performs with the Oslo Philharmonic, the London Symphony, and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, and concertizes around the world.

Simon Trpčeski works regularly with a prom-inent list of conductors including Marin Alsop, Gustavo Dudamel, Cristian Măcelaru, Charles Dutoit, Andris Nelsons, Vasily Petrenko, Robert Spano, and Michael Tilson Thomas. An acclaimed recitalist, he has given solo performances at major halls in New York, San Francisco, Washington (D.C.), London, and Paris.

Dedicated to making industry-defining record-ings, he has recorded for EMI Classics, Avie Records, and Onyx Classics.

Simon Trpčeski has been named a BBC New Generation Artist. In 2002, he was hon-ored with the Young Artist Award by the Royal Philharmonic Society.

Now celebrating its 128th season, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently hailed as one of the world’s leading orchestras. In September 2010, renowned Italian conductor Riccardo Muti became its tenth music director. His vision for the Orchestra—to deepen its engagement with the Chicago community, to nurture its legacy while supporting a new generation of musicians, and to collaborate with visionary artists—signals a new era for the institution.

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s distin-guished history began in 1889, when Theodore Thomas, then the leading conductor in America and a recognized music pioneer, was invited by Chicago businessman Charles Norman Fay to establish a symphony orchestra here. Thomas’s aim to establish a permanent orchestra with performance capabilities of the highest quality was realized at the first concerts in October 1891. Thomas served as music director until his death in 1905—just three weeks after the dedication of Orchestra Hall, the Orchestra’s permanent home designed by Daniel Burnham.

Frederick Stock, recruited by Thomas to the viola section in 1895, became assistant conductor in 1899, and succeeded the Orchestra’s founder. His tenure lasted thirty-seven years, from 1905 to 1942—the longest of the Orchestra’s music direc-tors. Dynamic and innovative, the Stock years saw the founding of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, the first training orchestra in the United States affiliated with a major symphony orchestra, in 1919. Stock also established youth auditions, orga-nized the first subscription concerts especially for children, and began a series of popular concerts.

Three distinguished conductors headed the Orchestra during the following decade: Désiré Defauw was music director from 1943 to 1947; Artur Rodzinski assumed the post in 1947–48; and Rafael Kubelík led the ensemble for three seasons from 1950 to 1953. The next ten years belonged to Fritz Reiner, whose recordings with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra are still considered per-formance hallmarks. It was Reiner who invited Margaret Hillis to form the Chicago Symphony Chorus in 1957. For the five seasons from 1963 to 1968, Jean Martinon held the position of music director.

Sir Georg Solti, the Orchestra’s eighth music director, served from 1969 until 1991. He then held the title of music director laureate and

returned to conduct the Orchestra for several weeks each season until his death in September 1997. Solti’s arrival launched one of the most successful musical partnerships of our time, and the CSO made its first overseas tour to Europe in 1971 under his direction, along with numerous award-winning recordings.

Daniel Barenboim was named music director designate in January 1989, and he became the Orchestra’s ninth music director in September 1991, a position he held until June 2006. His tenure was distinguished by the opening of Symphony Center in 1997, highly praised oper-atic productions at Orchestra Hall, numerous appearances with the Orchestra in the dual role of pianist and conductor, twenty-one international tours, and the appointment of Duain Wolfe as the Chorus’s second director.

From 2006 to 2010, Bernard Haitink held the post of principal conductor, the first in CSO his-tory. Pierre Boulez’s long-standing relationship with the CSO led to his appointment as principal guest conductor in 1995. He was named Helen Regenstein Conductor Emeritus in 2006, a posi-tion he held until his death in January 2016. Only two others have served as principal guest conduc-tors: Carlo Maria Giulini, who began to appear in Chicago regularly in the late 1950s, was named to the post in 1969, serving until 1972; Claudio Abbado held the position from 1982 to 1985.

In January 2010, Yo-Yo Ma was appointed the CSO’s Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant by Riccardo Muti. In this role, he part-ners with Muti, staff, and musicians to provide program development for the Negaunee Music Institute at the CSO.

Mead Composer-in-Residence Missy Mazzoli was appointed by Riccardo Muti and begins her two-year term this fall. In addition to composing, she curates the contemporary MusicNOW series.

Since 1916, recording has been a signifi-cant part of the Orchestra’s activities. Current releases on CSO Resound, the Orchestra’s inde-pendent recording label, include the Grammy Award–winning release of Verdi’s Requiem led by Riccardo Muti. Recordings by the CSO have earned sixty-two Grammy awards from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.
