Is it true love or just a fantasy? The achingly beautiful score and heartbreaking tragedy at the core of Puccini’s masterpiece explode in a new production by designer Yuki Izumihara and director Ethan Heard that transcends stereotypes, empowering the young protagonist Cio Cio San with new agency over her story.
Soprano Karen Chia-ling Ho and tenor Anthony Ciaramitaro make their company debuts as the lovelorn geisha and her reckless American husband, Lieutenant B.F. Pinkerton, who sees her as a toy he can purchase, play with, and abandon. Anthony Clark Evans (Rigoletto, 2022), returns as the cautionary American consul Sharpless, with mezzo Kristen Choi (The Raven, 2022) as the steadfast maid Suzuki. |

About this Four-Part Lecture:
PART 3- The Eastman and Julliard Years
At age ten Samuel Adler narrowly escaped Nazi Germany during Kristallnacht, the “night of broken glass.” As he and his father collected sheet music in the loft of the synagogue, saving all that they could on that terrifying night, soldiers heard them from down below. It was the sudden collapse of the pipe organ that allowed Adler and his father to run and escape through an underground tunnel. His family took the last train out of Germany with their bags full of sheet music, paving the way for Adler to study and nurture his musical gifts in America. At age ninety-five, he continues to compose, sharing his prolific musical gifts. Known for building bridges through the international language of music, as well as his optimism and “life-affirming spirit,” he is uniquely positioned TO SPEAK TO OUR TIME. |

John V. Sinclair, conductor • Bach Festival Choir and Orchestra
Camille Thomas, cello; Mary Wilson, soprano; Patricia Thompson, mezzo soprano; Kyle Stegall, tenor; Michael Dean, bass
Composed in response to personal tragedy – the deaths of his three children – Dvorák’s powerful, emotional, and deeply moving Stabat Mater is among the most substantial of Stabat Mater settings. It is Dvorák’s choral music at its best.
Considered to be “the greatest of all cello concertos”, Dvorák’s Concerto for Cello in b minor is a nostalgic reflection on his native Bohemia and is full of some of his most inspired moments. The charismatic artistry of Camille Thomas, the young Franco-Belgian cellist, is driven by a passion for life and a desire to inspire others to open their hearts to the wonder and emotion of classical music. Camille Thomas plays the famous “Feuermann” Stradivarius (1730) cello, which in on loan to her from the Nippon Music Foundation.

Prizewinners pianist Avery Gagliano, violinist Itamar Zorman, violist Paul Neubauer, and 8 Jupiterians will perform works based on or inspired by folk elements: Miniatures by William Grant Still, the "Dean of African American Composers"; Florence Price's Piano Quintet, unmistakably inspired by African-American spirituals, folk tunes, ragtime, and the rhythmic juba dance from the slave plantations of the Deep South; and Antonín Dvo?ák's "Double Bass" String Quintet No. 2, with seductive melodies evocative of Bohemian folk music.
It's Out of This World: Dedicated to acknowledge and perpetuate the legacy of the late Jens Nygaard—founder of the Jupiter Symphony—the chamber music series celebrates a legacy that denotes musical excellence, gives performance opportunities to outstanding musicians, and imparts a love of and enthusiasm for music through interesting and unusual programs of works in the standard repertoire, as well as pieces by lesser known composers that deserve to be heard. |
