BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA ANDRIS NELSONS MUSIC DIRECTOR
2019 SEASON HIGHLIGHTS In the 2019 Tanglewood season, BSO Music Director Andris Nelsons leads nine Boston Symphony concerts in July, featuring Emanuel Ax on Opening Night (7/5), Anne-Sophie Mutter in a 90th-birthday tribute to Sir André Previn (7/6), the Tanglewood debut of Polish-Canadian pianist Jan Lisiecki (7/12), and the BSO-commissioned world premiere, with soprano Renée Fleming, Tanglewood’s 2019 Koussevitzky Artist, and baritone Rod Gilfry, of Kevin Puts’ The Brightness of Light, inspired by letters of the iconic American artist Georgia O’Keeffe (7/20). Maestro Nelsons’ BSO concerts also feature solo appearances by Håkan Hardenberger (7/14), Gautier Capuçon (7/19), Jean-Yves Thibaudet (7/21), and Paul Lewis (7/26), as well as Kristine Opolais, Oksana Volkova, Jonathan Tetelman, Ryan Speedo Green, and the Tanglewood Festival Chorus in Verdi’s Requiem (7/13). In addition, Andris Nelsons leads the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra in Wagner’s complete Die Walküre with Christine Goerke as Brünnhilde, Amber Wagner as Sieglinde, Simon O’Neill as Siegmund, James Rutherford as Wotan, and Ain Anger as Hunding (7/27 & 28), and joins Keith Lockhart, John Williams, Thomas Wilkins, and James Burton on the Shed podium for the annual Tanglewood on Parade gala concert (7/23). Also on the podium for BSO concerts are BSO Associate Conductor Ken-David Masur (8/2), BSO Artistic Partner Thomas Adès (8/11), BSO Assistant Conductor Yu-An Chang in his BSO debut (8/23), and guest conductors Asher Fisch (8/3), Dima Slobodeniouk (8/4), Leonidas Kavakos, who also doubles as soloist (8/9), Rafael Payare in his BSO debut (8/10), François-Xavier Roth (8/17 & 18), and Giancarlo Guerrero (8/25). Also among the guest soloists are Joshua Bell (8/2), Pinchas Zukerman and Amanda Forsyth (8/3), Yefim Bronfman (8/4), Nikolai Lugansky (8/10), Inon Barnatan (8/11), Kirill Gerstein (8/17), Yo-Yo Ma (8/18), and Ingrid Fliter (8/23). Other soloists include Nicole Cabell, J’Nai Bridges, Nicholas Phan, and Morris Robinson as vocal quartet in the traditional, season-ending Beethoven Ninth (8/25), BSO members Thomas Rolfs and Robert Sheena in Copland’s Quiet City (7/12), and members of the BSO horn section in Schumann’s Concert Piece for four horns and orchestra (8/18). A very special evening in the Shed features Yo-Yo Ma performing J.S. Bach’s six suites for unaccompanied cello (8/11). This concert is part of Yo-Yo Ma’s two-year global initiative, “The Bach Project,” in which he performs Bach’s cello suites—music with which he has had a six-decade relationship—across six continents in an effort to explore, via Bach’s ability to speak to our common humanity, how music and culture connect us all. In Ozawa Hall, also celebrating Sir André Previn’s 90th birthday, Renée Fleming is joined by the Emerson String Quartet for the world premiere of André Previn and Tom Stoppard’s BSO-commissioned Penelope (7/24). This summer’s 25th-anniversary Ozawa Hall line-up also includes the first Tanglewood appearances of the Venice Baroque Orchestra (7/11), classical guitarist MILOŠ (7/16), and the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra (8/21); a Bach recital by Hilary Hahn (7/10); a duo-recital by Gautier Capuçon and Jean-Yves Thibaudet (7/17); an all-Ives program with Stefan Jackiw, Jeremy Denk, and the vocal quartet Hudson Shad (7/25); a Paul Lewis recital continuing his exploration of music by Haydn, Brahms, and Beethoven (7/30); and baritone Thomas Hampson and The Beyond Liberty Players in an evening entitled “Song of America: Beyond Liberty” (7/31). The August line-up also includes return appearances by the National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America, with 2 2019 SEASON

in their Tanglewood debuts (8/1) and by The Knights, with violinist

performing Beethoven piano trios (8/6); Yefim Bronfman in an all-
Beethoven recital (8/7); and Leonidas Kavakos and Emanuel Ax in a
program of Beethoven violin sonatas (8/13).

Laureate John Williams and his art: “Across the Stars: Music of John
Williams,” with soloist Anne-Sophie Mutter and conductor David
Newman (7/7); Star Wars: A New Hope, a film presentation with live
orchestra led by Boston Pops Conductor Keith Lockhart (8/16); and
“John Williams’ Film Night” hosted by Maestro Williams himself and

shows with James Taylor (7/3 & 4); a full schedule of concerts by
the young musicians of the Tanglewood Music Center; the weekly

INTRODUCING...
Marking a major milestone in the life of Tanglewood and the Boston
Symphony Orchestra, the 2019 Tanglewood season will see the launch
of the Tanglewood Learning Institute (TLI)—offering participants new
levels of wide-ranging enrichment and education initiatives, to be
housed in a major new four-building Center for Music and Learning,
which will also support the activities of the Tanglewood Music Center,
the BSO’s acclaimed summer music academy. These new buildings will
be Tanglewood’s first year-round facilities available for event and concert
use by the BSO, the Berkshire community, and beyond, starting in
fall 2019. Complete details of TLI programming will be announced in
early 2019.

Written over the many months and years they lived apart, these letters chronicle their initial flirtations in 1915—when Georgia was a young, aspiring artist—to Alfred’s death in 1946. Written especially for Renée Fleming and Rod Gilfry, and accompanied by projections by Wendall Harrington, The Brightness of Light is the story of a great artist who ultimately turns from a painful marriage to embrace her work and the desert landscape she loves. *2019 Koussevitzky Artist JULY 21 SUNDAY 12noon–2pm, Tanglewood Grounds Summer Sundays Activities 2:30pm, Shed Boston Symphony Orchestra Andris Nelsons, conductor Jean-Yves Thibaudet, piano GERSHWIN Piano Concerto in F GERSHWIN Variations on “I Got Rhythm,” for piano and orchestra STRAVINSKY Petrushka JULY 23 TUESDAY 8pm, Shed Tanglewood on Parade Boston Symphony Orchestra Boston Pops Orchestra Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra Boston Symphony Children’s Choir Andris Nelsons, Keith Lockhart, John Williams, Thomas Wilkins, and James Burton, conductors Program to include WAGNER “The Ride of the Valkyries” from Die Walküre James BURTON Lost Words, for children’s choir and orchestra (world premiere) TCHAIKOVSKY 1812 Overture Fireworks to follow the concert 14 2019 SEASON

J.S. BACH Suites for Solo Cello
In a special Sunday-evening Shed concert,
Yo-Yo Ma plays all six of J.S. Bach’s Suites
for Solo Cello, music that has given him,
in his own words, “sustenance, comfort,
and joy during times of stress, celebration,
and loss.” This concert is part of his two-
year global initiative, “The Bach Project,”
encompassing performances he will give
of the Bach suites across six continents,
coupled with what he calls “days of action,”
seeking “to put culture in action by bringing
people and organizations together to
address pressing social issues” and “invite
all of us to think differently about the role
of culture in society.”

Star Wars: A New Hope

with live orchestral accompaniment.
Set 30 years after Star Wars: The
Phantom Menace, Star Wars: A New
Hope, the fourth episode of the saga, returns to the desert planet of
Tatooine. A young Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) begins to discover his
destiny when, searching for a lost droid, he is saved by reclusive Jedi
Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness). A civil war rages in the galaxy, and
Rebel forces struggle against the evil Galactic Empire, Luke and Obi-
Wan enlist the aid of hotshot pilot, Han Solo (Harrison Ford). Joined by
the quirky droid duo R2-D2 and C-3PO, the unlikely team sets out to
rescue Rebel leader Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) and make use of the
stolen plans to destroy the Empire’s ultimate weapon. In a legendary
confrontation, the rogue group mounts an attack against the Death
Star for a climactic battle with the evil Sith Lord Darth Vader.

Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra
Huichang Yan, conductor
With its roots in the musical heritage of its
homeland, the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra is
a cultural phenomenon: an ensemble of more
than 80 players, performing on traditional
Chinese instruments placed in a Western
orchestral configuration. The orchestra has built a repertoire that
includes not only time-honored Chinese music but also contemporary
works, many composed especially for the Hong Kong Chinese
Orchestra by some of the leading composers of our time. This is one of
only two U.S. engagements on the ensemble’s 2019 international tour.
