GET INFO & TICKETS: https://chicagosinfonietta.org/march-... LOVE LETTERS - March 13 & 16, 2025 LOVE LETTERS is the fifth subscription concert of Chicago Sinfonietta’s 2024-25 Season. Maestra Mei-Ann Chen weaves notions of devotion and adoration through a symphonic lens. This Women's History Month concert honors women through several perspectives, including romance, respect, admiration, and achievement. PROGRAM Michelle ISAAC Moshe’s Dream Valerie COLEMAN Opus Serena Concertino for Bassoon and Orchestra feat. Monica Ellis, bassoon Sandra BAILEY Dual Voices, Single Journey feat. Sandra Bailey, bassoon, and Monica Ellis, bassoon Chicago Sinfonietta commission and World Premiere Johannes BRAHMS "Poco Allegretto" from Symphony No. 3 Gustav MAHLER "Adagietto" from Symphony No. 5 Felix MENDELSSOHN Symphony No. 3 ("Scottish") Movements I (Introduction), II, IV Michelle Isaac's Moshe’s Dream was originally commissioned for the Sinfonietta’s 2021-22 season during Isaac's tenure as a Freeman Composing Fellow. This ode to her grandfather is communicated in its heavy Klezmer elements (the duo’s favorite) and Jewish folk references, composed after her 99-year-old granfather dreamed that they had started a Klezmer band together. Opus Serena by Valerie Coleman is a tribute to the life and accomplishments of Serena Williams, one of the most renowned athletes in history. This biographical concertino for bassoon and orchestra portrays Williams' ascent and journey with a depiction of a tennis match, imagining Serena via bassoon soloist facing off against the full orchestra. Acclaimed bassoonist Monica Ellis performs this special work. Dual Voices, Single Journey was composed by Sandra Bailey—former Principal Bassoonist for the Sinfonietta— as a special Sinfonietta commission. This is Bailey's first commissioned work and celebrates her nascent ascent as a composer as well as performer. She is joined by guest artist Monica Ellis on this World Premiere! Johannes Brahms offers a poignant expression of his hidden love for esteemed pianist and composer Clara Schumann in his "Poco Allegretto" from his Symphony No. 3. The movement unfolds with a tender and introspective atmosphere, reflecting the depths of Brahms' unrequited love, never to be spoken aloud, but felt deeply until the composer's passing. The "Adagietto" from Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 5 is a sublime and deeply moving composition renowned for its emotional expanse and ethereal beauty. Mahler composed this tender movement as a love letter to his beloved wife, Alma Mahler, and its serene and melancholic character reflects the profound emotions of love and longing. Our finale features a piece inspired by a visit to the ruins of Mary, Queen of Scots former palace. Felix Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 3, commonly known as the "Scottish Symphony," is a captivating musical journey that transports listeners to the rugged landscapes and rich cultural heritage of Scotland. The symphony consists of several movements, each brimming with vibrant melodies, evocative harmonies, and dramatic contrasts. Although Mendelssohn did not have a direct personal relationship with Queen Mary, he was deeply inspired by Scottish history and landscapes, which inspired several compositions about her life and the region, as well as 30+ artistic sketches of his travels.
