Where else does Beethoven rub shoulders with bluegrass and Broadway, or Chick Corea with Orchestra of St. Luke’s? How often do beloved artists like Gil Shaham, Jeremy Denk, and Kelli O’Hara share the program with those still building their careers? From world premieres to classical masterworks, from Tahitian dance to Independence Day fireworks, from first-timers to festival favorites, and from today’s legends to tomorrow’s stars, Caramooris a pastoral home for musical and artistic diversity. With eight weeks of orchestral, chamber, jazz, American roots, opera, multiethnic dance, and young artist showcases, the 71st summer season (June 18–Aug 7) presents an abundance of outstanding live music and more on the historic Caramoor estate: 90 acres of picturesque Italianate architecture and gardens in Katonah, Westchester, just one hour’s drive from Manhattan, offering day-trippers the perfect escape from the city. The New York Times recently described Caramoor’s summer season as taking place in “bucolic, picnic-friendly settings with a programming philosophy that balances hedonism and exploration.” Click here for a video introduction to Caramoor, created to celebrate last year’s 70th anniversary season, and here for a video highlighting Caramoor’s lasting appeal. As it has been for over thirty-five years, Orchestra of St. Luke’s is in residence, led this summer by a quartet of outstanding conductors: Pablo Heras-Casado, Joshua Weilerstein, Will Crutchfield, and Rob Fisher. Besides collaborating with renowned American pianist and scholar Jonathan Biss, this season’s Artist-in-Residence, and soloists Gil Shaham and Kelli O’Hara, the orchestra also anchors Caramoor’s semi-staged productions of Beethoven’s Fidelio and Rossini’s long-lost opera, Aureliano in Palmira, which receives its American premiere under the baton of Director of Opera Will Crutchfield. The Aizuri Quartet serves as the 2015-16 Ernst Stiefel String Quartet-in-Residence, and both Biss and the Aizuris premiere new Caramoor commissions; indie folk band Hurray for the Riff Raff, singer-songwriter John Fullbright, and newgrass fiddler Sara Watkins head up the annual American Roots Festival; while the annual Caramoor Jazz Festival – now in the second year of its groundbreaking partnership with Jazz at Lincoln Center – concludes with a set from the CHICK COREA TRIO. Family-friendly Dancing at Dusk introduces the music and culture of the Pacific Rim, and participants and alumni from Caramoor’s numerous young artist programs perform in a variety of concerts. Thanks to a deep-seated commitment to musical diversity that permeates every aspect of its programming, Caramoor’s is truly a summer season like no other. In residence: Orchestra of St. Luke’s and Jonathan Biss It was at Caramoor that the resident Orchestra of St. Luke’s first formed 37 years ago; since then Caramoor has enjoyed an intimate and enduring partnership with the ensemble. Together with Tony Award-winning Broadway sensation Kelli O’Hara, most recently seen headlining Lincoln Center Theater’s The King and I, the orchestra launches the 2016 summer season with an evening of Broadway showstoppers and favorites from the Great American Songbook, under the leadership of Lucille Lortel Award-winner Rob Fisher. Their performance is the occasion for Caramoor’s annual Opening Night Gala, which includes a celebratory pre-concert cocktail reception and dinner, premium concert seating in the Venetian Theater, and an “After Dark” party for post-concert drinking, dancing, and desserts (June 18). As has become traditional, it is also the Orchestra of St. Luke’s that draws Caramoor’s summer to a close. Led by Principal Conductor Pablo Heras-Casado, Musical America’s 2014 Conductor of the Year, this year’s Season Finale pairs Brahms’s Second Symphony with his beloved and monumental Violin Concerto, with longtime Caramoor favorite Gil Shaham, widely recognized as “the outstanding American violinist of his generation” (Time), as soloist (Aug 7). Click here to see Shaham play the Brahms concerto. These opening and closing events bookend the orchestra’s second appearance of the summer, a tour de force that showcases 2016 Artist-in-Residence Jonathan Biss, an alumnus of Caramoor’s Evnin Rising Stars program, playing two piano concertos. The program’s centerpiece is the New York premiereof Timo Andres’s Third Piano Concerto, The Blind Banister, which was co-commissioned for Biss by Caramoor as part of the pianist’s multi-season Beethoven/5 project. Andres’ concerto was inspired by Beethoven’s Second, with which it shares the first half of the program. The concert’s second half features Martinu’s La Jolla Sinfonietta, a neoclassical response to Haydn’s 98th Symphony, and concludes with the Haydn symphony itself. Joshua Weilerstein, Artistic Director of the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne (and brother of Caramoor’s 2014 Artist-in-Residence Alisa Weilerstein), takes the podium for his official Caramoor debut (July 10). “An authority on Beethoven” (New York Times), Biss has not only made a nine-year commitment to recording all 32 of the master composer’s sonatas but has also devoted a groundbreaking Coursera course to their exploration, reaching more than 100,000 students to date. Following his first all-Beethoven solo recital at Caramoor in 2013, when he impressed the New York Times with his “ability to convey his deep understanding of these works and to give each a distinctive character,” the pianist returns for a second this season, now with a program featuring the “Appassionata” and “Tempest” Sonatas (Aug 5). As a dedicated chamber artist who represents the third generation in a family of professional musicians, Biss also joins his mother, violinist Miriam Fried, and others for chamber works by Brahms and Janáček (Aug 4). Click here to see Biss talk about practicing Beethoven. Opera has long been key to Caramoor’s success, thanks in no small part to the dedicated scholarship and expertise of Director of Opera Will Crutchfield. This summer, the celebrated Bel Canto at Caramoor series presents the centuries-overdue American premiere of Rossini’s Aureliano in Palmira. This long-lost opera exemplifies the Italian composer’s finest mature writing, and restores to its original setting the overture so beloved from its repurposed use in The Barber of Seville. Depicting a love triangle against the backdrop of the war-torn land that is present-day Syria, Aureliano has especial resonance for today’s audiences. Yet the opera remained out of circulation until Crutchfield painstakingly undertook its reconstruction, with the aid of a Guggenheim Fellowship, and led its triumphant revival at Italy’s 2014 Rossini Opera Festival, scoring last year’s International Opera Award for Best Rediscovered Work. Starring Andrew Owens, Georgia Jarman, and Tamara Mumford under the Director of Opera’s “sensitive leadership” (Opera News), Caramoor’s semi-staged production – offering New World audiences their first opportunity to hear a missing masterpiece by one of opera’s greatest names – marks a major milestone in operatic history (July 16). Caramoor also presents Beethoven’s sole opera, Fidelio, which premiered in its final form during the same season as Aureliano. The opera – which explores the characteristically Beethovenian themes of heroism, sacrifice, and delayed triumph – became an instant classic, and remains a cornerstone of the repertory to this day. Caramoor’s semi-staged presentation stars Elza van den Heever in the title role, opposite Paul Groves as Florestan, with Heras-Casado on the podium. The conductor’s operatic company debut also marks the first time an opera in Caramoor’s Bel Canto program will have been led by a conductor other than Crutchfield himself (July 31). Last summer, the Music Director helmed both Donizetti’s La Favorite and Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmélites, in which the New York Times admired “the spacious, detailed performance he drew from an impressive cast and the Orchestra of St. Luke’s.” Caramoor is justly celebrated for nurturing young talent and offering sterling follow-up support, through young artist programs that include the Ernst Stiefel String Quartet-in-Residence, Evnin Rising Stars, Schwab Vocal Rising Stars (of which the star of this season’s Aureliano, Andrew Owens, is an alumnus), and Bel Canto Young Artists. Each year, approximately twelve Bel Canto Young Artists receive training in vocal technique and interpretation, before showcasing their development in a pair of summer performances. This season’s offerings are The Intimate Rossini, a program of miniatures for soloists and ensemble (July 7), and Beethoven in Song (July 21), which explores the composer’s extensive lieder catalog. These young artists also take part in the season’s two opera productions; as NPR notes, “Opera mavens flock to Caramoor, as the festival often gives plum roles to important young singers.” Chamber recitals: Aizuri Quartet, Jeremy Denk, Evnin Rising Stars, and more This year’s Ernst Stiefel String Quartet-in-Residence is the Aizuri Quartet, two of whose members are alumnae of Caramoor’s Evnin Rising Stars program. A top prizewinner at the 2015 Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition, the Aizuri has proven itself to be “in full possession of that most elusive of string quartet qualities: the balance between charisma of the individual and cohesion of the collective” (Philadelphia Inquirer). For its contribution to Caramoor’s ongoing “String Quartet Library for the 21st Century” commissioning project, the quartet collaborated with emerging Brooklyn-based composer Paul Wiancko to develop a new multi-movement piece, titled LIFT. This will receive its world premiere performance during the Aizuri Quartet’s summer recital – the fourth of their yearlong residency – alongside Beethoven’s profound Op. 130 quartet and Grosse Fuge (July 8). Click here to see the Aizuri Quartet play Beethoven. The residency highlights a chamber lineup boasting a who’s who of classical luminaries both young and seasoned. David Finckel and Wu Han, Co-Artistic Directors of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, join the Emerson String Quartet’s Philip Setzer for Beethoven piano trios including the incomparable “Archduke” (June 26). The Grammy Award-winning Pacifica Quartet – the 2001-02 Ernst Stiefel String Quartet-in-Residence – returns for Haydn, Bartók, and late Beethoven (July 17); the Danish String Quartet, styled “one of the best quartets before the public today” (Washington Post), couples Beethoven and Janáček with traditional Scandinavian folk music (July 29); and the Akropolis Reed Quintet pioneers innovative repertoire for saxophone, clarinet, oboe, bassoon, and bass clarinet (June 23). Violinist Pamela Frank takes part in a moving Father’s Day tribute to honor the life and legacy of her late father, pianist Claude Frank (June 19). MacArthur “genius grant” and Avery Fisher Prize-winner Jeremy Denk makes his Caramoor debut with a solo piano recital (July 24), and powerhouse guitarist Meng Su, who previously wowed audiences as half of the Beijing Guitar Duo, returns for a “Guitar in the Garden” solo recital in the magical outdoor setting of Caramoor’s Sunken Garden (July 28). Click here to see Meng Su’s gold medal-winning performance in the 2015 Parkening International Guitar Competition Final. The Stamford Piano Trio celebrates Bastille Day with French fare from Fauré, Ravel, and Lili Boulanger (July 14), and Music from Copland House, ensemble-in-residence at the late composer’s Westchester home, returns with all-American selections drawing on influences from jazz and spirituals to country, folk, and rock (July 22). Edward Arron makes his annual summer appearance with a host of Caramoor regulars, all of whom, like the cellist himself, are Evnin Rising Stars alumni (June 24), and the Evnin Rising Stars Showcase presents violinist Paul Huang, violist Matthew Lipman, and pianist Kuok-Wai Lio, some of the intensive chamber mentorship program’s finest participants, in works by Mozart, Brahms, and Ravel (June 30). Jazz Festival: Jazz at Lincoln Center, Chick Corea, and more Now celebrating its 23rd season, Caramoor’s annual all-day Jazz Festival will, like last year’s, be curated in collaboration with the world-renowned Jazz at Lincoln Center. Crowned by an evening set from the CHICK COREA TRIO, the festival also features daytime performances from the Evan Sherman Big Band; Ladies Sing the Blues featuring Catherine Russell, Brianna Thomas, and Charenée Wade; Etienne Charles; Gotham Kings; Jazzmeia Horn; and Bria Skonberg (July 23). Additional jazz events take place on July 9 (TBA) and August 6, when Cécile McLorin Salvant, “a jazz songbird for the 21st century” (Downbeat) returns for her third consecutive summer. As the Huffington Post says of jazz at Caramoor, “One couldn’t ask for a more exciting and contemporary selection of musical performers to choose from.” Click here to see McLorin Salvant sing “I Didn’t Know What Time It Was.” American Roots Music Festival: Hurray for the Riff Raff, John Fullbright, Sara Watkins, and more Caramoor’s American Roots Music Festival returns with a full day of music spanning the spectrum from bluegrass to blues to creole, and taking place throughout the idyllic 90-acre Caramoor estate. Headlining this summer’s festival are New Orleans’s Hurray For the Riff Raff, returning fan favorite John Fullbright and American singer-songwriter and fiddler Sara Watkins, who is back after wowing last season’s audiences as a member of folk supergroup I’m With Her. Other festival performers include Man About A Horse, Dennis Stroughmatt et l’Esprit Creole, The Lowest Pair, Silver City Bound, Spuyten Duyvil, and others (June 25). Caramoor presents additional roots events on July 30 (TBA) and July 15, when Ben Folds and yMusic treat audiences to their unique brand of chamber rock, as heard on their recent hit album, So There. Click here to see Watkins sing “You and Me.” Dancing at Dusk A beloved and family-friendly summer tradition, Caramoor’s Dancing at Dusk takes place on the spacious lawn of Friends Field, where guests are treated to music forms from around the globe and invited to watch and learn the distinctive dance traditions that accompany them. This year’s series offers introductions to the music and culture of the Pacific Rim: from the colorful educators and entertainers of Lei Pasifika (June 29) with the music and dance of Tahiti and Hawaii; to more from the Pacific Rim (July 7, TBA); to the movement, song, and storytelling of Kinding Sindaw Melayu Heritage focusing on the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and South Thailand (July 13); to classical and modern dancer Ling Tang, who takes young listeners on a musical exploration of Ba Ban (“Eight Beats”), which forms the structural basis of traditional Chinese folk music (July 27). Click here to see Lei Pasifika at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Independence Day with Ryan Silverman Continuing Caramoor’s tradition of celebrating Independence Day in style, audience favorites Curt Ebersole and his 60-piece Westchester Symphonic Winds return for a family-friendly event steeped in American heritage. Broadway star Ryan Silverman is also back by popular demand, with a centennial tribute to Frank Sinatra, as is euphonium soloist John Palatucci. The evening’s festivities conclude with fireworks to celebrate the holiday (July 2).
