THE GIRL WHO LOVED WILD HORSES

A NOTE FROM BRUCE ADOLPHE

A few years ago, my friend Lauren, a singer, told me that when she

was growing up, one of her very favorite story books was The Girl

Who Loved Wild Horses by Paul Goble. It meant a lot to Lauren that

the story was about a Native American girl because Lauren is half

Haudenosaunee and half Irish. She wondered if I might set it to music.

The author and illustrator of the story, Paul Goble, was born in

England and grew up in Oxford. His dad was a harpsichord maker

and his mother was a professional musician. Paul studied art in

London and then moved to the United States, where he decided to

live in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Soon after moving there, his

book The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses won the Caldecott Medal as

the year’s best illustrated book for children.

In 2006, I thought about Lauren’s idea, and decided to set the

story of The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses to music. First, I had to

get Paul Goble’s permission to use his book. After some research, I

discovered that Mr. Goble didn’t have a computer or a cell phone,

and so he had no email address and you could not text him. There

were two ways to communicate with Mr. Goble: write him a letter on

paper; or call his home phone, which was an unlisted number.

So I wrote him a letter asking if he would give me permission to

set his story The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses to music. He wrote back

a lovely letter allowing me to use his story, and he told me that if I

ever found myself in South Dakota to give him a call. I wrote another

letter to thank him for the permission and also for the invitation to

visit him, but I did not think I would ever go to South Dakota.

Four years later, in 2010, a group of musicians invited me to go

on a little tour with them to perform concerts for Native American

kids in… South Dakota! When we arrived, I pulled Paul Goble’s letter

Page 3: Meet the Music! The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses

out of my backpack and called him. He said, “Come over tomorrow

afternoon for coffee or tea” and I did.

During the visit, he told me that he had been adopted by Chief

Edgar Red Cloud and that the greatest honor in his life, more than

winning awards for his books, was that he had been the only white

person allowed by the Lakota people to draw and paint the outside

of a teepee.

Paul wrote about 40 books, and most of them were inspired by

traditional stories of the Lakota, Cheyenne, and Blackfoot peoples.

“I feel that I have simply seen and learned many wonderful

things from Native Americans, which most people never have the

opportunity to experience. I have simply wanted to express and

to share these things which I love so much. To learn something of

another culture has given me more facets and perspectives for my

own life.”

This afternoon’s performance is dedicated to Paul’s memory.

BRUCE ADOLPHE When he was a child Bruce Adolphe watched both Victor Borge and Leonard Bernstein on television, and after seeing them, he began “playing piano” on the breakfast table and cracking jokes with a Danish accent. Having no choice, his parents bought him a toy piano, at which Bruce pretended to be Schroeder of the Peanuts cartoons. Soon after the toy piano was pecked apart by the family parakeet, Bruce’s parents purchased a real piano and a larger bird. By age ten, Bruce was

composing music, and no one has been able to stop him since. As a “tween,” Bruce studied piano, clarinet, guitar, bass, and—as a teen—the bassoon. All this time, he wrote music and improvised accompaniments to everything that happened around him, as if life were a movie in need of a score. His favorite summers were spent at the Kinhaven Music School and he loved his Saturdays at The Juilliard School’s Pre-College Division. Today, Bruce spends his time composing chamber music, playing the piano, and performing in concerts for people like you. He lives right around the corner on the Upper West Side with his wife, pianist Marija, his daughter Katja, and his opera-and-jazz-singing parrot PollyRhythm, the same bird he has had since he was ten years old. Bruce performs weekly on public radio's Performance Today, playing his Piano Puzzlers (familiar tunes in the styles of the great masters) and you can catch that show on WQXR or on iTunes, or as a podcast from American Public Media. Many great musicians have performed Bruce's music, including Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman, the Brentano Quartet, and over 60 symphony orchestras around the world, and of course lots of amazing players right here at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, where Bruce has been making music since 1992. If you want to check out Bruce's CDs and educational pieces for all ages, please visit the website of The Learning Maestros. You might enjoy his book The Mind’s Ear: Exercises for Improving the Musical Imagination, published by Oxford University Press. Recent recordings of Bruce’s music include Chopin Dreams performed by the Italian pianist Carlo Grante on Naxos American Classics label; and Einstein's Light performed by violinist Joshua Bell and pianist Marija Stroke on Sony Classical; and The End of Tonight (three mezzo-sopranos, three cellos, and piano) a digital release on the St. Urban label. He is currently composing works commissioned by: the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center for the 50th anniversary season; the Brentano String Quartet Beethoven year project; the River Oaks Chamber Orchestra in connection with the opening of the newly renovated Holocaust Museum of Houston; the Da Capo Chamber Players for their 50th anniversary; and the Dorian Wind Quintet.

DAVID KAPLAN Pianist David Kaplan has moved around a lot: he grew up on 104th street in New York City, but also in Montclair, New Jersey, and in Los Angeles, California; he’s lived in New Haven, Connecticut, and even in Berlin, which is the capital city of Germany; and finally, he once again lives in New York City. His parents, his brother, and a good number of uncles and aunts are all musicians, and he’s loved playing piano since he could first reach the keyboard. David now

plays concerts all over the world, both as a soloist and as part of chamber music groups—but he also loves teaching, and is on the faculty of the University of California Los Angeles, which has a really good basketball team. He is proud to be a Yamaha Artist, and when at home in Manhattan, he also enjoys practicing on his childhood piano, a 1908 Steinway Model A from Hamburg. When not making music, David loves reading, drawing, and cooking (especially homemade pasta). He is also mildly obsessed with old-fashioned cars—but since the life-size ones are very expensive, he mostly collects miniature ones instead. Beginning his piano studies with Miyoko Lotto, David later studied with Walter Ponce at UCLA, and with Claude Frank at the Yale School of Music.

SOOYUN KIM Flutist Sooyun Kim was born in Seoul, Korea, and grew up in Millburn, New Jersey. Sooyun began playing the flute in Korea when she was nine years old and just one year later when she turned ten, she played the Mozart Flute Concerto in D major with the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra. Since then, she has played many concerts all around the world, most recently in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, and France. Her recital at the Louvre Museum was broadcast live on Radio France, and on

the web via medici.tv. (You can still watch the concert!) She also lived in Boston for many years while she studied at the New England Conservatory of Music and now she lives in New York City. When she is not playing the flute, Sooyun is often found musing in front of beautiful paintings and sculptures in museums, dancing in her dance studio, or riding her bike around town. She is an alum of The Bowers Program (formerly CMS Two).

EDUARDO LEANDRO Born in Brazil, Eduardo Leandro has a lot of fun playing the drums, especially new and crazy music. He has played as a soloist and with ensembles in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. He has his own group called the Percussion Duo Contexto, which has premiered dozens of works and recorded several CDs. Eduardo also enjoys conducting and has led many famous ensembles in Brazil and France, plus the New York New Music Ensemble, Stony Brook Symphony Orchestra, Talea, and

Sequitur Ensembles in the United States. Eduardo loves to teach! He teaches new

music and percussion to graduate students at Stony Brook University. He is a guest lecturer at the Peabody Conservatory, regular faculty at Yellow Barn Summer Institute in Vermont, and faculty at many festivals, both in the United States and Brazil.

ROMIE DE GUISE-LANGLOIS Romie de Guise-Langlois is a clarinetist. She was born in Montreal, Canada, and played the recorder until she was 12 years old, when she chose to start playing the clarinet. Since then, the clarinet has brought her to live in cities such as New Haven and New York, and led her to learn English. She has won many prizes and awards for her playing, including the Woolsey Hall Competition at Yale University and the McGill University Classical Concerto Competition, and is an alum of The Bowers

Program (formerly CMS Two). Romie enjoys playing in orchestras such as the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and the Orchestra of St. Luke’s. She also enjoys traveling all over the world playing chamber music with some of her closest friends. Her favorite activity when traveling is to discover delicious foods from other cultures.

MIHAI MARICA Mihai Marica started playing the cello at age seven, moments after receiving a quarter-sized cello as his birthday present. He had asked for it three years earlier according to his father, also a cellist and the inspiration behind Mihai’s desire to become a cellist, but was told that he should “play outside with the other children while he still had the chance.” This turned out to be good advice, as he had to practice intensely even during his first year of study in order to perform a concerto in front of

the orchestra where his father plays. Appearing on the stage of Alice Tully Hall as a member of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s Bowers Program would have been beyond Mihai’s wildest dreams at age 16, when with quite a bit of luck he met Prof. Aldo Parisot, who helped him move to the United States and become a student at the Yale School of Music. In his spare time Mihai enjoys reading and watching movies.

GRACE PARK Grace Park is a violinist that grew up right next to the beach, in sunny Los Angeles, California. Grace’s dad loved all kinds of music and always had something playing in the house, from Mozart to Queen to The Beatles. As a kid, she would play the violin along with her dad who was always singing in the house, instead of practicing her scales and arpeggios. Grace gets to travel all over the world and eat some of her favorite foods: She loves tacos in Mexico, sushi in Japan, spicy food in China,

pasta in Italy, and lots of bread in France! Grace feels very lucky that she gets to play on a violin that is 220 years old, and a bow that is 169 years old.

THE YOUNG PEOPLE’S CHORUS OF NEW YORK CITY The Young People’s Chorus of New York City (YPC), culminating its 30th anniversary year this month, is a multicultural youth chorus internationally renowned for its superb virtuosity and brilliant showmanship. Founded in 1988 by Artistic Director Francisco J. Núñez, a MacArthur Fellow and Musical America's 2018 Educator of the Year, YPC has created an awareness of the ability of young people to rise to unforeseen heights of artistry, and recognition among composers of the child’s voice as a significant, but often untapped, instrument for making music. YPC’s acclaimed artistry has inspired invitations for collaborations and performances from a global array of festivals, cultural institutions, and cities on four continents. YPC was the first American chorus to win first prize in the 54-year history of the European Broadcasting Union’s Let the Peoples Sing choral competition, the first youth chorus to open Lincoln Center’s venerable Mostly Mozart Festival, and just this past summer, the only North American chorus to be named "Choir of the World" in the 34-year history of the International Choral Kathaumixw competition in British Columbia. Each year nearly 2,000 children benefit musically, academically, and socially through their participation in YPC's after-school, in-school, and community programs. Among YPC's many awards is America’s highest honor for youth programs, a National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Award.

This season is supported by public funds from the National Endowment for the Arts; the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council; and the New York State Council on

the Arts, with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

From the Chamber Music Society's first season in 1969–70, support for this special institution has come from those who share a love of chamber music and a vision for the Society's future.

While celebrating our 49th Anniversary Season this year we pay tribute to the distinguished artists who have graced our stages in thousands of performances. Some of you were here in our beloved Alice Tully Hall when the Chamber Music Society's first notes were played. Many more of you are loyal subscribers and donors who, like our very first audience, are deeply passionate about this intimate art form and are dedicated to our continued success.

Those first steps 49 years ago were bold and ambitious. Please join your fellow chamber music enthusiasts in supporting CMS by calling the Membership Office at (212) 875-5782, or by donating online at www.ChamberMusicSociety.org/support. Thank you for helping us to continue to pursue our important mission, and for enabling the Chamber Music Society to continue to present the finest performances that this art form has to offer.

The Chamber Music Society gratefully recognizes those individuals, foundations, and corporations whose estate gifts and exceptional support of the Endowment Fund ensure a firm financial base for the Chamber Music Society's continued artistic excellence. For information about gifts to the Endowment Fund, please contact Executive Director Suzanne Davidson at (212) 875-5779.
