SUMMARY:An Evening With The Texas Tenors
DESCRIPTION:Pops II \nDust off your 10-gallon hat and boots because The Texas Tenors are riding into town to perform with the Symphony of Southeast Texas. These good ‘ol boys from the Lone Star State combine their\npersonal charisma and powerful harmonies in a mixture of country\, contemporary and operatic favorites.

Collaborations include some of the most prestigious symphonies in the United States including the Cleveland Pops\, Houston Symphony and the Pittsburgh Symphony to name a few. People are clearly enjoying their talent as they were recently named the #10 Classical Artist in the world\, by Billboard magazine. \nTonight\, The Texas Tenors will perform a selection from their recent recording\, RISE. The show features the trio backed by a full symphonic orchestra with original orchestrations. From John Denver’s “Take Me Home\, Country Roads” to “E lucevan le stelle” from Puccini’s Tosca\, tonight’s concert showcases the wide-ranging talent of JC Fisher\, Marcus Collins and John Hagen\, who pour their collective hearts and souls into favorites such as “Desperado\,” Bruno Mars’ “Just the Way You Are” and a stirring rendition of “God Bless America.

SUMMARY:Passionate Portraits
DESCRIPTION:Classics Series III \nWith Pianist\, Claire Huangci \nGrieg: Piano Concerto\, op. 16\, a minor\nClaire Huangci\, piano\nRachmaninov: Symphony No. 2 \nSponsor:\nRosine Wilson \nGuest Artist Sponsor:\nRegina Rogers \nOverview:\nThe Romantic period of music is filled with impressions that sweep the emotions through intense melodies\, harmonies that paint pictures\, and dramatic conclusions that bring audiences to their feet. Our concert tonight includes all of those critical elements in just two grand pieces. Edvard Grieg’s famous piano concerto opens with grand gestures by the pianist\, followed by sweeping melodies in the orchestra. A continual interplay between soloist and orchestra sets the stage for a concerto by which romantic standards are measured. Serge Rachmaninoff’s Second Symphony is perhaps his most popular symphony. The themes are heard as often in the concert hall as they are on the radio and the movie screen\, with interpretations as varied as the mediums themselves. Pop singer Eric Carmen put words to the theme of the third movement\, “Never Gonna Fall in Love Again\,” and found it so effective that he once again used a movement from the Rachmaninoff’s Third Symphony. The second movement of tonight’s symphony appeared often in the background of movies such as Birdman. Both composers were masters at creating moods and paintings that take listeners to a different\, more gentle and passionate time.

SUMMARY:Pastoral Germanic Settings
DESCRIPTION:Classics Series II \nWith soloist\, Tim Dueppen. \nMendelssohn: Hebrides Overture\nAlbrechtsberger: Concerto for Alto Trombone\nTim Dueppen\, alto trombone\nBeethoven: Symphony No. 6 \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nSponsors: \n \nGuest Artist Sponsor:\nNatalie and S.L. Greenberg\nOverview:\nOur second Classics concert takes us to the pastoral and pictorial settings in Europe from land and sea. Whether idyllic countrysides\, vast ocean and islands\, or stately architecture\, Europe\, especially Germany and Scotland\, provided impressive vistas and cultural experiences that inspired the composers featured this evening. Mendelssohn was so taken by a cave from shipside\, on the Scottish Island of Staffa\, that he jotted down two themes that were scenic settings and sent them to his sister Fanny\, a composer as well. Musical painting\, also known as tone paintings\, was one of the most significant additions to the musical soundscape used in the Romantic Period. \nJohann Georg Albrechstberger\, best known as a theorist and music teacher\, was credited for being the mentor of Beethoven and Hummel. The trombone concerto chosen by our SOST soloist\, Tim Dueppen\, is one of the first concerti ever written for this instrument during the classical period. Little is known about the scenic impressions that set the stage for this concerto\, yet upon hearing it\, one can easily think about walking through fields of flowers and meadows. The concerto is written for the Alto Trombone\, the smallest member of the trombone family. Named for its delicate sound\, it is similar to the trumpet used in the classical period. \nBeethoven had a strong love of nature and this symphony best depicts such appreciation. The sixth symphony is the first to be classified as programmatic music with specific movements expressing his impressions of fields\, streams\, country dances\, and storms with the final resolution reflecting a joyous celebration of nature in harmony with itself.

SUMMARY:Ella & Louis\, Great Friends - Great Music
DESCRIPTION:Pops I \nByron Stripling and Carmen Bradford’s chemistry lights up the stage as they take you on a journey through the most famous duets and solos recorded by two of jazz’s greatest legends. Byron and\nCarmen provide a musical reincarnation of Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. \n \nFeaturing hits of the Great American Songbook\, they recreate one of the most memorable       collaborations in music history while entertaining and capturing everyone’s heart along the way. \n  \n  \n  \nSponsors \n                           \n \nOverview:\nOne of America’s greatest musical claims to fame is the Great American Songbook. An unofficial collection of songs and genres\, popular song created an “American atmosphere” during the 20s\, 30s and 40s to sooth our psyches. None were greater champions than Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. Both artists\, individually and collectively\, had an extensive list of recordings that were the soundtrack of this era. Together they got Americans through the eras of the depression\, war\, and post war. \nTonight’s program\, through the talents of trumpeter Byron Stripling (aka Satchmo) and Carmen Bradford (as Lady Ella)\, takes us on a musical tour of songs like “A-Tisket A-Tasket\,” “I Can’t Give You Anything but Love\,” “Basin Street Blues\,” and those favorite tunes of the Gershwins. Our guests share an authentic collection of arrangements for the duo with our SOST that will have you tapping your feet to Bill Bailey\, and maybe even crooning “Our Love Is Here to Stay” as you leave the Julie Rogers Theatre. \n

SUMMARY:New York\, New York\, Jazz Meets Classics
DESCRIPTION:Classics Series I\nJazz Meets Classics \n  \nBernstein: On the Town\nEllington: Black\, Brown and Beige Suite\nRissman: Newly commissioned work by SOST; Cause of Action\nGershwin: An American in Paris\nFeaturing dancers from Beaumont Civic Ballet. \nPre-Concert Talk: 6:30pm \n\nSponsor\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\nGuest Artist Sponsor: Sandra Clark\nOverview:\nIt’s been said that there are only so many notes in a scale\, and that music comes from the result of their order and style. What better setting than New York City\, where so many different styles not only exist but often collaborate with each other. Our concert tonight is a “classic” example of that union. What better composers to represent such sounds-Leonard Bernstein\, George Gershwin\, Duke Ellington\, and our own Nick Rissman? \nOn the Town is a musical tour of this great city through the eyes and actions of three sailors on leave. For his musical style\, Bernstein chose popular song\, then weaved them into a fascinating score utilizing street sounds\, moods and lyrical expressions. Duke Ellington also used the movies as a vehicle to express his study of Negroes coming from Haiti to Savannah during the Revolutionary War. From the original score\, significantly longer\, the composer created a suite of songs for a concert version. Once again\, songs from various genres resulted in orchestral treatments\, relating moods from work songs to spirituals to the blues. Here is an example of how the organization of the same notes convey such different expressions. Local composer\, Nick Rissman\, expresses his sentiments for the Las Vegas of his youth and the change of his hometown in his “Cause of Action.” \nOur concert concludes tonight with George Gershwin\, the celebrated champion of popular song. His portrayal of an American visiting Paris uses themes and sounds to express the tourist’s impressions of Parisian street noises and the grandeur of the sights. The blues section reminds our visitor of his American home as he gets homesick but returns to the sights quickly\, dancing to express his joy de vivre!

SUMMARY:Classics Series 3: "The Elegance of Elgar"
DESCRIPTION:The Elegance of Elgar sweeps us into the romantic period\, but not before a triumphal announcement of the Fanfare for the Common Man by American composer\, Aaron Copland. Originally written as one of the fourteen fanfares\, this theme has prevailed as one of Copland’s signature works. Our journey to the romantic period begins with none other than Franz Liszt\, the period’s preeminent pianist and composer. His first piano concerto is unlike any concerto before in its style and form. Our soloist\, Tomoko Kanamaru\, returns to the Julie Rogers stage demonstrating her demon like virtuosity with elegance and speed. Edward Elgar’s iconic Enigma Variations is a series of 14 musical pictures of friends\, his wife\, his publisher\, and even Elgar himself! \nConcert sponsored by Baptist Hospital. \nArtist sponsored by Gisella Houseman.

SUMMARY:Classics Series 2: “A Marriage of Bach & Beethoven”
DESCRIPTION:The Baroque meets the Classical Eras\, through tonight’s program. Traditionally\, our second classics concert features the many talented musicians of SOST. Tonight we’ll hear the brilliance of our soloists\, as well as the genius of the classical era’s beloved composers. \nMozart’s fascination with opera buffa mixed his love of comedy with his salient orchestration and string writing in tonight’s Overture to the Marriage of Figaro. \nThe Brandenburg Concerti were six concert pieces written by Bach for various instrumentalists-chamber music at its finest. These six concerti were collections of various orchestral pieces\, assembled and dedicated to Christian Ludwig\, Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt. Tonight’s Second Concerto is considered one of the most demanding works for clarino trumpet\, written for a court trumpeter with exceptional high note virtuosity. Our soloists tonight demonstrate the exceptional talents of our orchestra as soloists and ensemble players. Beethoven’s fiery Seventh Symphony was considered by the composer to be his finest symphony. His audiences were so moved by the second movement\, they often demanded an encore before the work was completed. Our marriage of composers is also a marriage of musical styles from Baroque into the Classical. \nSOST Soloists: Mauricio Oliveros\, violin\, Brian Shook\, clarino trumpet\, Jennifer Isadore\, flute\, Stanley Chyi\, oboe \nConcert co-sponsored by Entergy Texas and Beaumont Music Commission. \n \nArtist sponsored by CHRISTUS-St. Elizabeth Hospital.

SUMMARY:Classics Series Concert 1: "Roman Journeys"
DESCRIPTION:To begin our fantastic journey this season\, we will explore the Roman countryside through Hector Berlioz’s “Roman Carnival Overture\,” a dynamic piece of music intended as the prelude to one of the French composer’s operas.

According to Maestro Chelsea Tipton\, “This concert is gonna peel the paint off the walls of the Julie Rogers Theatre.” \nSponsored by: Rosine McFaddin Wilson.
