President’s Remarks

Reid Parker

At our last Signature Series concert, Peter Sametz described a major gift to Symphony NB. It is a 3-year matching grant of $375,000, with $125,000 to be received each year beginning this season. Donors can give to either Symphony New Brunswick or the Symphony New Brunswick Foundation and equal funds will be given to Symphony NB. If the gift is received by the Foundation, it will also be eligible for matching by the federal government.

The donor has requested anonymity, but obviously,

we are very grateful for this benevolence and we want to make the best of it. We encourage everyone who loves Symphony NB to give as much as you can. No gift is too small.

It is equally obvious to us that this is a major event in Symphony NB’s history and it couldn’t have come at a better time. If we fully realize the potential of this generosity, it will enable noteworthy and observable changes in our operations and administration. We are obligated to realize these benefits and must report to the donor on our success.

Everyone should be reminded that the deadline of November 30 for our Foundation’s application to Canadian Heritage for matching funds is fast approaching, so I hope this, along with the tax year-end and the anonymous matching grant will be powerful incentives to give.

Our Foundation has flourished during the past year or so, but, notwithstanding the uncertainties Canada faces, we need to keep momentum in growing this valuable resource.

Tired of talking about financial matters, I will close by wishing you all well and may you enjoy tonight’s concert and the remainder of our inspiring program this season.

Welcome Message

Mélanie Léonard, Music Director

Dear friends,

As always, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to a new season of timeless masterworks and exciting discoveries.

In this season’s Signature Series, Canadian talent, emerging and diverse voices, and New Brunswick come together to offer you a rich and meaningful concert experience. From the grandiosity of the great Romantics to the opulence of the Golden Era; from heartfelt music exploring the different faces of love, to works shaped by defining presence and art‑inspired imagination — and without forgetting Verdi’s epic Requiem — we are bringing you a season rich in emotion and community‑uplifting moments.

Our Virtuoso Series once again showcases exciting repertoire performed by the Saint John String Quartet, Ventus Machina, and Resonance New Music. Virtuosity will be on full display, while intimate concert spaces provide a unique opportunity to experience music up close.

As we navigate challenging times, don’t we owe it to ourselves to pause and embrace a moment of grace? We are deeply grateful for your trust, your support, and your presence. You make these moments not only possible — you make them come alive.

We look forward to welcoming you to the concert hall!

À bientôt,

Mélanie Léonard
Music Director

Early in his musical development, Clarke Bouchard's exceptional abilities were recognized with numerous accolades. He received the grand prize at the Joy of Music Festival at McGill University, won gold medals at the Montreal Classical Music Festival in 2009 and the Quebec Music Educators Association Competition in 2010. In 2011, he claimed first place at the Canadian Music Competition, earning prestigious scholarships from Yamaha, Canimex, and Gilles Chatel.

Program Notes

Reid Parker

George Gershwin (1898 - 1937)
Lullaby for Strings

George Gershwin wrote this short student piece for piano in 1919 and subsequently transcribed it for string quartet. Although it was played occasionally in private gatherings, it only returned to prominence when Ira Gershwin gave the harmonica player Larry Adler permission to perform it at the Edinburgh Festival in 1967. The string quartet arrangement was published in 1968 concurrently with a string orchestra version by pianist-conductor Jeff Manookian.

Lullaby starts with violin harmonics and then the main melody is stated by the full orchestra. Gershwin later reused this theme in his one-act jazz opera Blue Monday for the song Has One of You Seen My Joe. Lullaby sways leisurely along in a syncopated, slightly bluesy rhythm. About midway through the eight-minute piece, a solo cello states another lovely tune. The main theme is repeated; more harmonics are played and the piece comes to a quiet pizzicato conclusion.

Florence Price (1887 - 1953)
Piano Concerto in One Movement

In March, 2025, New Brunswick audiences were first introduced to the music of African-American composer Florence Price and we continue this season with her Piano Concerto in One Movement composed in 1934. It was first performed that year by Price at the Chicago Music College and subsequently, by the Women’s Symphony Orchestra of Chicago and the prestigious Chicago Symphony. After the Second World War, interest in Price’s music began to wane and almost disappeared after her death in 1953. The score of the Concerto vanished with her.

Price owned a summer cottage near Chicago which an unrelated couple purchased from a Price descendant in 2009. To their surprise, they discovered several boxes of manuscripts which proved to be a treasure trove of the composer’s music. Included was a two-piano arrangement of the Piano Concerto. Price had annotated the second piano part providing indications of the orchestration she intended. Her notes enabled composer Trevor Weston to piece together a performing version of the full score which was premiered in 2011. In 2019, Price’s original full score reappeared and was sold at auction, the music publisher E.C. Schirmer acquiring publication rights. It was published in 2020.

Although the music flows as a continuous piece, there are three distinct sections, much like a traditional concerto. In the first section, the winds provide snippets of the first principal theme which emerges in full after a lengthy cadenza-like passage by the soloist. Both this theme and the second as well as the entire second section exhibit the influence of African-American spirituals. These sections are pure romantic-era music and could be mistaken for music written a half-century earlier. However, the final allegretto is out-of-character with the rest of the piece, a lively Juba-dance, a slave plantation dance brought to South Carolina from the Congo. The rhythmic drum beats in Price’s music remind us that rhythm instruments were forbidden on the plantations for fear the drum-like patterns might relay illicit information.

Scott Joplin (1868 - 1917)
Maple Leaf Rag

Scott Joplin was an African American composer and pianist, widely regarded as the leading figure in the development of ragtime, a style that combines a steady musical pulse with syncopated melodies. His Maple Leaf Rag, published in 1899, has become one of the most successful ragtime compositions. Joplin believed ragtime had a place with other classical forms and he scorned categorizing it as honky-tonk music best performed in brothels and saloons. He was successful in establishing ragtime as a major force in American popular music. Everyone has heard the Rag’s lively rhythms and infectious melodies and it is indeed a classic. Joplin’s influence extended beyond his lifetime, and the ragtime revival of the 1970s brought his music to a new generation of listeners.

Those who suppose the work’s title has some connection with Canada will be disappointed to learn it more probably reflects the name of the Maple Leaf Club in Sedalia, Missouri where Joplin played. Or it may have had something to do with Sedalia’s many maple trees.

Violet Archer (1913 - 2000)
Poem for Orchestra

Violet Archer’s Poem for Orchestra draws inspiration from The Nun, a long poem written in 1938 by British poet Humbert Wolfe (1885-1940). The poem is part of Losers, a section of an even longer collection called Requiem. Throughout Requiem, Wolfe expresses disquiet from time passing, the transformation of the individual facing death, the consequences of worldly withdrawal or the inevitable end of life. In some respects, it is an exploration of lives of those on the margin of normal life experience. In The Nun, we sense the inner conflict of a young woman who has foregone worldly experience and confronts the reality of her sacrifice while sadly accepting the spiritually rewarding pathway she has chosen.

The language is both moving and disturbing, emotions Archer successfully captures in this short, darkly-hued orchestral tone poem.

Archer was born Violet Balestreri in Montreal, the daughter of Italian immigrants. Her teachers included Paul Hindemith and Béla Bartok and she earned degrees from McGill and Yale. Her career was mostly dedicated to teaching, although she completed more than 300 compositions. She was one of three young Canadian female composers who challenged the dominance of their male counterparts in the mid-twentieth century. The others were Barbara Pentland and Jean Coulthard. Ironically, all three died with months of each other in 2000. The superbly orchestrated Poem for Orchestra was written by Archer in 1938, the same year as Wolfe wrote his poem. Although performances of the work are rare, Symphony New Brunswick has performed it once previously, in 2001.

Aram Khachaturian (1903 - 1978)
The Masquerade Suite

Aram Khachaturian, of Armenian birth, immigrated with his family to Moscow in 1920 and there the young composer-to-be received his first formal training in composition. After several years at the Gnessin School of Music, he enrolled in the Moscow Conservatory of Music at which he studied with Nikolai Miaskovsky, the Soviet Union's most prolific composer of symphonies.

Khachaturian completed many large compositions, most notably a major piano concerto and the ballet score, Gayaneh, an adagio from which achieved widespread popularity from its use in the Stanley Kubrick film, 2001, A Space Odyssey. The Masquerade Suite was selected from a larger score written in 1941 as incidental music to a production of an 1835 play of the same name by Mikhail Lermontov.

The play, set in St. Petersburg, is a classic tale of jealousy leading to a terrible outcome. The main character, Arbenin discovers evidence at a masked ball that his wife, Nina, was unfaithful. He poisons Nina who dies while proclaiming her innocence. He later discovers she was a victim of intrigue and was telling the truth. He goes mad with grief. The moral of the play is that jealously, wounded pride and malicious gossip can lead to irrational and destructive consequences. The opening Waltz has become Khachaturian's best-known piece and has been used in many films. It is followed by a Nocturne, Mazurka, Romance and a final Galop. Although the Nocturne and Romance are lovely and peaceful, those hoping for a grand tragic funereal march at the end will be surprised by the exuberant Galop.

It is worth mentioning Nurhan Arman, Symphony NB’s first Music Director, was also of Armenian descent and was acquainted with Khachaturian. Arman performed the composer's Violin Concerto under Khachaturian's direction. The Masquerade Suite was performed at the first Symphony NB concert conducted by Arman in 1987.
