ANNIVERSARY CONCERT
FIFTY YEARS TOGETHER:
A CELEBRATION OF WOLF TRAP
JULY 1, 2021
WELCOME BACK TO WOLF TRAP Dear Friends, Fifty years ago tonight, the National Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Julius Rudel, joined pianist Van Cliburn, opera star Norman Treigle, and more on the Filene Center stage for the very first performance at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts. That evening marked the birth of a national cultural treasure, a place where families and friends could experience the magic of the performing arts in an enchanting natural setting. Our beloved Wolf Trap was gifted to the nation by Catherine Filene Shouse (1896-1994), who donated the land and funds necessary to establish our country’s only National Park for the Performing Arts. Driven by her love for the arts, education, and nature, she created a performing arts destination with first-class performances for all interests presented in a unique bucolic setting. Over these past 50 years, the responsibility for carrying out this vision has fallen to Wolf Trap Foundation and the National Park Service, partners committed to ensuring that Wolf Trap is a vibrant asset for all Americans long into the future. It is with great pride and humility that we, along with our dedicated Board of Directors and staff, welcome you to this celebration of 50 years together—which is even more meaningful after a year devoid of live performances. Tonight we honor Mrs. Shouse’s legacy, her lifelong dedication to public service, and the impact Wolf Trap has had on the community for the last five decades. This evening’s performance features our longest artistic partner, the National Symphony Orchestra, with four world-renowned female artists paying homage to Mrs. Shouse’s commitment to the advancement of women and inspired by the breadth of our first concert on July 1, 1971. We continue to be in awe of the power that music has to unite us, move us, change us, and fill us with joy. Thank you for being part of the Wolf Trap tradition and family. Your passion and support have enabled Wolf Trap to thrive for 50 strong years. As we look to the next exciting 50 years, we know that Wolf Trap will remain a home for shared celebrations, incredible arts experiences, and treasured moments together. We are forever grateful for your continued patronage and philanthropy. DANIEL A.

A MESSAGE FROM THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Thank you for joining us in this 50th Anniversary Season of performances at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts. On behalf of the National Park Service staff and volunteers, we sincerely hope you enjoy your visit to America’s only national park dedicated to the performing arts. This unique Park is a direct result of one woman’s dream to present world-class performances to the public in a splendid natural setting. In 1966, Mrs. Catherine Filene Shouse generously donated 100 acres of her Wolf Trap Farm to the National Park Service along with funds to construct a performing arts center. Through the partnership between the National Park Service and Wolf Trap Foundation for the Performing Arts, millions of people have enriched their spirit through live performances at the Park. Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts is one of 423 national park sites across the country that exist to preserve our landscapes and our history, tell the stories of all Americans, and provide myriad opportunities for outdoor recreation. We are delighted that you are here today to enjoy a live performance on your public lands. Enjoy the show! KENNETH G. BIGLEY Acting Superintendent, Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts 43
50 YEARS TOGETHER
On July 1, 1971, thousands of families and friends traveled to
Wolf Trap and gathered together for the first time under the
soaring splendor of the Filene Center. Even with a bit of light
rain, patrons stepped into the magnificent wooden structure in
awe. As the first notes of the orchestra played over a hushed
and eager audience, Mrs. Catherine Filene Shouse watched
as her dream came to life.

50 YEARS TOGETHER 14MEET THE ARTISTS
JoANN FALLETTA
Grammy-winning conductor JoAnn Falletta serves
as Music Director of the Buffalo Philharmonic
Orchestra, the Connie and Marc Jacobson Music
Director Laureate of the Virginia Symphony
Orchestra, Principal Guest Conductor of the Brevard
Music Center, and Artistic Adviser to the Hawaii
Symphony Orchestra and the Cleveland Institute
of Music Orchestra. She is hailed for her work as a
conductor, recording artist, audience builder, and
champion of American composers.
As Music Director of the Buffalo Philharmonic, Falletta
became the first woman to lead a major American
ensemble. Having celebrated her 20th anniversary
with the Buffalo Philharmonic, she is credited with
bringing the orchestra to a new level of national and
international prominence. Her recent and upcoming
North American guest conducting includes the
National Symphony, Detroit Symphony, Nashville
Symphony, Indianapolis Symphony, and Milwaukee Symphony orchestras; and further
north, the Toronto Symphony and the Orchestre Métropolitain. Internationally, she has
conducted many of the most prominent orchestras in Europe, Asia, and South America.
With a discography of almost 120 titles, Falletta is a leading recording artist for Naxos.
In 2019, she won her first individual Grammy as conductor of the London Symphony in
the Best Classical Compendium category for Spiritualist (2018). Her Naxos recording
of Mr. Tambourine Man: Seven Poems of Bob Dylan received two Grammys in 2008.
Recent releases by the BPO for Naxos include the world premiere recording of Richard
Danielpour’s The Passion of Yeshua (2020), Salomé (2020) by Florent Schmitt, and
the upcoming Poem of Ecstasy by Scriabin, as well as two recordings on the BPO’s
Beau Fleuve label.
Falletta is a member of the esteemed American Academy of Arts and Sciences, has
served by presidential appointment as a Member of the National Council on the Arts
during the Bush and Obama administrations, and is the recipient of several prestigious
conducting awards. She has introduced over 500 works by American composers,
including well over 100 world premieres. In 2019, Falletta was named Performance
Today’s Classical Woman of The Year, calling her a “tireless champion.”
Falletta is a strong advocate and mentor for young musicians. She has led seminars for
women conductors for the League of American Orchestras and established a unique
collaboration between the Buffalo Philharmonic and the Mannes College of Music to
give up-and-coming conductors professional experience with a leading American
orchestra. In 2018, she served on the jury of the Malko Competition in Denmark. She
has had great success working with young musicians, guest conducting orchestras
at top conservatories and summer programs at the National Repertory Orchestra,
National Orchestral Institute, Interlochen, and Brevard Music Center, and beginning
this year, as Artistic Advisor at CIM.
Falletta has held the positions of Principal Conductor of the Ulster Orchestra, Principal
Guest Conductor of The Phoenix Symphony, Music Director of the Long Beach
Symphony Orchestra, Associate Conductor of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra,
and Music Director of the Denver Chamber Orchestra and The Women’s Philharmonic.
After earning her bachelor’s degree at Mannes, Falletta received master’s and doctoral

15CYNTHIA ERIVO
Cynthia Erivo is a Grammy, Emmy, and Tony
Award-winning actress, singer, and producer, as
well as an Academy Award, Golden Globe, and SAG
nominee. Erivo burst onto West End and Broadway
stages in The Color Purple and has since taken the
world by storm.
Erivo can now be seen as Aretha Franklin in
National Geographic’s Emmy-winning global
anthology series Genius: Aretha. This season is the
first-ever, definitive, and only authorized scripted
limited series on the life of the universally acclaimed
Queen of Soul.
In addition to her illustrious acting career, Erivo is
a Grammy-nominated songwriter and performer,
often headlining sold-out shows, symphonies, and
music spaces including the Kennedy Center Honors,
the 2020 Academy Awards, the 2017 Governors
Ball, and the 2017 Grammys. Erivo will release her debut album, Ch. 1 Vs. 1, with Verve/
Universal Music Group in September.
In February 2021, Erivo announced that she will be releasing a children’s book titled
Remember to Dream, Ebere on September 28. Erivo wrote the book as an ode to a
child’s imagination, a parent’s love, and the big dreams shared by both.
Erivo recently wrapped production on Disney’s live-action retelling of Pinocchio.
Directed by Robert Zemeckis, Erivo will take on the iconic role of the Blue Fairy. Erivo
is also slated to star in Apple’s Roar, an anthology series of darkly comic feminist
fables, as well as Universal’s Talent Show, directed by Gandja Monteiro and written by
Lena Waithe. It was also announced that Erivo will produce and star in a biopic about
Sara Forbes Bonnetta, a 19th-century Nigerian princess who was "gifted" to Queen
Victoria after being liberated from slavery.
In August 2020, Erivo launched her production company, Edith’s Daughter, and
announced her first-look deal with MRC Television and Civic Center Media. Edith’s
Daughter focuses on projects that express the beauty in the stories and people who
are often overlooked and underrepresented.
Erivo recently starred in the HBO series The Outsider, which premiered in January
2020 and is based on the Stephen King novel. The series follows an unorthodox
investigator and a seasoned cop investigating a gruesome murder of a local boy.
In 2019, Erivo starred in Kasi Lemmons’ Harriet, where she brought the legacy of
Harriet Tubman to the big screen. Erivo's performance was met with critical acclaim,
and she lent her voice to the movie’s title song, “Stand Up,” which she also co-wrote.
“Stand Up” won Best Original Song at the Hollywood Music in Media Awards. Both
Erivo and “Stand Up” were nominated for two Academy Awards, as well as two
Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress in a Motion Picture–Drama and Best Original
Song respectively. Additionally, “Stand Up” received a Grammy nomination for Best
Song Written for Visual Media. The film garnered 10 NAACP nominations, as well as
AAFCA and Society of Composers & Lyricists Award wins.

17JOYCE YANG
Blessed with “poetic and sensitive pianism” (The
Washington Post) and a “wondrous sense of color”
(San Francisco Classical Voice), Grammy-nominated
pianist Joyce Yang captivates audiences with her
virtuosity, lyricism, and interpretive sensitivity.
She first came to international attention in 2005
when she won the silver medal at the 12th Van
Cliburn International Piano Competition. The
youngest contestant at 19 years old, she took
home two additional awards: Best Performance
of Chamber Music (with the Takàcs Quartet), and
Best Performance of a New Work. In 2006, Yang
made her celebrated New York Philharmonic debut
alongside Lorin Maazel at Avery Fisher Hall followed
by the orchestra’s tour of Asia. Yang’s subsequent
appearances with the Philharmonic included
opening night of the 2008 Leonard Bernstein
Festival, for which The New York Times pronounced
her performance a “knockout.”
In the last decade, Yang has blossomed into an “astonishing artist” (Neue Zürcher
Zeitung), showcasing her colorful musical personality in solo recitals and collaborations
with the world’s top musicians. She received the 2010 Avery Fisher Career Grant and
earned her first Grammy nomination for her recording of Franck, Kurtág, Previn &
Schumann with violinist Augustin Hadelich. She frequently appears at the Aspen
Summer Music Festival, La Jolla SummerFest, and the Seattle Chamber Music Society.
Other notable orchestral engagements have included the Chicago Symphony
Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, San Francisco
Symphony, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, the BBC Philharmonic, as well as
the Toronto, Vancouver, Sydney, Melbourne, and New Zealand symphony orchestras. She
was also featured in a five-year Rachmaninoff concerto cycle with Edo de Waart and the
Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra.
In solo recital, Yang’s innovative program has been praised as “extraordinary” and
“kaleidoscopic” (Los Angeles Times). She has performed at New York City’s Lincoln
Center and Metropolitan Museum, the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., Chicago’s
Symphony Hall, and Zurich’s Tonhalle.
As an avid chamber musician, Yang has collaborated with many renowned string
quartets, such as the Guarinari, Takács, Emerson, and the Pacifica String Quartets,
and has fostered an enduring partnership with the Alexander String Quartet.
Yang’s wide-ranging discography includes the world premiere recording of Michael
Torke’s Piano Concerto. Yang has also “demonstrated impressive gifts” (The New York
Times) with the release of Wild Dreams (2014) and in recording Tchaikovsky’s Piano
Concerto No. 1 with Denmark’s Odense Symphony Orchestra. Gramophone praised her
“beautifully atmospheric playing” on her 2011 debut album Collage.
Yang graduated from Juilliard with a special honor as the recipient of the school’s
2010 Arthur Rubinstein Prize, and in 2011 she won its 30th Annual William A. Petschek
Piano Recital Award. Yang appears in the film In the Heart of Music, a documentary
about the 2005 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. She is a Steinway artist.

A HISTORY OF THE NSO
The 2020–2021 season marks the National Symphony Orchestra’s 90th, and Gianandrea Noseda’s
fourth as its music director. The Italian conductor serves as the Orchestra’s seventh music director,
joining the NSO’s legacy of such distinguished leaders as Christoph Eschenbach, Leonard Slatkin,
Mstislav Rostropovich, Antal Doráti, Howard Mitchell, and Hans Kindler. Its artistic leadership also
includes Principal Pops Conductor Steven Reineke and Artistic Advisor Ben Folds.
Since assuming the leadership of the NSO, Gianandrea Noseda has brought a renewed sense of
energy and focus to the orchestra, which has resulted in wide-ranging recognition from local,
national, and international publications, increases in subscription and single ticket sales, and the
expansion of the Orchestra’s reach through live streamed concerts and recordings. The New
York Times called the NSO and Noseda’s 2019 Carnegie Hall appearance “Spectacular,” while The
Washington Post wrote that “There’s a certain flair going on at the National Symphony Orchestra,”
consistently reinforcing that this artistic partnership continues to gain momentum.
Founded in 1931, the Orchestra has always been committed to artistic excellence and music
education. In 1986, the National Symphony became an artistic affiliate of the John F. Kennedy
Center for the Performing Arts, where it has performed a full season of subscription concerts
since the Center opened in 1971. The 96-member NSO regularly participates in events of national
and international importance, including official holiday celebrations through its regularly
televised appearances on PBS on the lawn of the U.S. Capitol for Capital Concerts, live-streamed
performances from the Kennedy Center Concert Hall on medici.tv, and local radio broadcasts on
Classical WETA 90.9FM, making the NSO one of the most-heard orchestras in the country.
Additionally, the NSO’s community engagement projects are nationally recognized, including NSO
In Your Neighborhood, which annually comprises a week of performances in schools, churches,
community centers, and other unexpected venues; Notes of Honor, which offers free performances
for active, veteran, prior service, and retired members of the military and their families; and Sound
Health, a collaboration with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and its affiliated organizations.
Career development opportunities for young musicians include the NSO Youth Fellowship Program
and its acclaimed, tuition-free Summer Music Institute.
