The Atlanta Community Symphony OrchestraHistory of the OrchestraThe Atlanta Community SymphonyOrchestra (ACSO) was conceived inthe summer of 1957 under theauspices of the Atlanta Music Club(AMC). At that time, there were verylimited orchestral opportunities forserious instrumentalists in Atlanta.Mrs. Charles Chalmers, AMCPresident (1956-1960), worked withAMC members Mrs. Ruth DabneyAllen and Ms. Ruth Kern, a local musiceducator and violist, to establish acommunity orchestra to further theprogress of talented amateurmusicians in the Atlanta area.Ms. Kern emphasized that it was the responsibility of the teachers ofthe city to see that serious music students and adult musicians had anopportunity to rehearse and perform symphonic music.In the fall of 1957, at theinvitation of the AMC, anensemble of seventeen playersconvened at the home of Mrs.Andrew Fairlie to explore thepossibilities for a newcommunity-based orchestra toperform symphonic literature.The Atlanta CommunityOrchestra (now the ACSO) wasofficially founded in 1958. TheACSO’s first free public concertwas performed on May 12, 1958,under the baton of MaestroHarry Kruger. More than half a century later, the ACSO continues to providesymphonic orchestral training and performance opportunities forserious Atlanta-area musicians and quality, free symphonicperformances for audiences around metro-Atlanta and the State ofGeorgia. For more than forty years, the ACSO has held an annual YoungArtists’ Concerto Competition (YACC), giving dedicated music studentsthe opportunity to perform solo works with the orchestra. The RuthKern YACC is named in honor of Ms. Kern, founding ACSO member, forher dedication to both music education and the orchestra.Today, the ACSO provides the citizens of metro Atlanta and otherGeorgia cities with multiple concerts each year at no admission charge.

What is It?New this year to the ACSO, the‘Art In Music’ competition is aninitiative that introduceselementary-aged students tothe possibilities that music canspark imagination andcreativity.Who are the students?Students are local 3rd, 4th,and 5th grade students. Flores del Alma (arr. for the ACSO) is being premiered here today. The quote atthe beginning of the work is by Octavio Paz, and it reads:“Una civilización que niega a la muerte, acaba por negar la vida.” It translates as “a civilization that negates death ends by negating life.” Thepiece, according to Cano, has the recurrent death theme of some of his works.Here he thinks of death from the point of view of someone who hasexperienced a loss and who remembers that loss with nostalgia, but also withjoy. We feel sadness for the absence, but also gratefulness for having coincidedin this material plane.According to Cano, Flores del Alma is based on the following haiku:Flores del alma,tu vida infinitadeja ausenciaIt makes allusion to death as a seed deposited in us when we lose a dear one(symbol of a commencement, in this case: life after death). The seed germinateslittle by little when it is watered by our memories of those things that havelived in the gardens of the soul. And, with time, blooms an unfading flower thatrepresents the lasting impact that our dear ones have in our lives.This looks cool!

Prokofiev - Piano Concerto in C Major Op. 26 - I. Andante - AllegroSergei Prokofiev (1891-1953), together with Stravinsky and Shostakovich, formthe trio of great Russian composers. Prokofiev was a child prodigy. He startedstudying piano at the age of three and had composed his first opera at the ageof nine. At thirteen he enrolled at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, studyingunder Liadov and Rimsky-Korsakov. While still a student, he composed severalworks and later traveled to London to work with Diaghilev. He is known for hisbrilliant Classical Symphony as well as The Love of Three Oranges,commissioned by the Chicago Opera. In 1920, he settled in Paris where hewrote ballets for Diaghilev as well as scores for the cinema. By 1933 he hadreceived many invitations from his homeland and returned to Russia in 1936.The composer's early scores are brash and cynical, with original rhythms andadventurous experimentation, which the press described as “futurist.” But,upon his return to his homeland, Prokofiev's style changed, becoming simplerand more accessible, due to the pressure imposed on the Russian musicalculture by the Soviet government.The Third Piano Concerto was composed in 1921, during Prokofiev's time inParis. It is a composite of themes first started in 1911. The first movementbegins with a yearning clarinet theme, suggestive of Russia, but then itbecomes an exercise in fun and games. The movement has two themes and arecapitulation. The second theme, first taken by the orchestra then by thesoloist, leads into a pianistic feat of passages in octaves all over the keyboardand with hands usually on top of one another.Neel KrishnanNeel is currently in 11th grade andstarted playing the cello in 6th gradeunder the instruction of Sarah Paul.He currently studies with DanielLaufer.

Mozart - Flute Concerto No. 2 in D K.314/285 Allegro Aperto - 1st Mvmt.Mozart - Clarinet Concerto K. 622 - II. AdagioWolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was, indisputably, one of the truegeniuses our world has seen. He began playing the klavier at age three and atage five had begun composing. Two years later, he started studying violin andhis father “Leopold” took him, together with his sister Anna Maria, anaccomplished pianist, on a series of tours across the courts of Europe. By theage of twelve, he had written numerous works, including two operas. Mozartreturned to Salzburg to work for the Archbishop. It was not an ideal situationfor Mozart and he resigned in 1781. He then moved on to Vienna where hemarried Constanze Weber. His genius knew no limits and he composed in everymusical genre. Mozart wrote over 600 works including operas, symphonies,concertos, and chamber music, all of equal monumental significance. Hisfinancial situation became difficult during the last nine years of his life. Evenso, his output was astonishing and his pen never stopped until his life came toa sudden end at the age of 35. He was buried in a pauper's grave without everknowing the fame and admiration that his works would one day bring him.The Clarinet Concerto was composed in the autumn of 1791. It was to beMozart's last concerto and one of his most sublime works. Composed weeksbefore his death, it was written for his friend, the great clarinetist AntonStadler. Mozart had always loved the clarinet and was the first composer tovalue its expressive qualities. The second movement, Adagio, opens with abeautiful and tender melody, one of the most beautiful and magical thecomposer wrote. The Concerto in D Major was Mozart's second Flute Concerto.It was originally his Oboe Concerto in C Major, written in 1777, but at therequest of Dutch surgeon Ferdinand De Jean, an amateur flutist, Mozartreworked the oboe piece. The Flute Concerto was not simply a note for notetranscription of the oboe original, but a showpiece full of virtuosity.Charlotte JeongCharlotte Jeong is a 13 year old at Mount PisgahChristian School.

Dvořák - Violin Concerto in A Minor Op.53 - 1st Mvmt.Antonin Dvořák (1841-1904) was intended, by his parents, to become thevillage butcher. As soon as the young boy started taking violin lessons from thelocal schoolmaster, however, he decided that he wanted to study only music.Dvořák was immersed in the wave of Bohemian nationalism which wassweeping through his country during his youth. This nationalistic flavor isevident in many of his works, and accounts for the popularity of much of hismusical output.The publisher Fritz Simrock, impressed by the response to the composer'sSlavonic Dances, published in 1878, suggested that Dvořák undertake thewriting of a violin concerto. After meeting the great violinist Joseph Joachim inBerlin, the composer doubled his effort on the concerto. He hoped thatJoachim would provide him with technical advice, as he had done with Brahms’

Outside of music, Declan enjoys playing tennis andeating at fancy restaurants with his friends.Violin Concerto. Joachim did provide him with many suggestions, whichDvořák applied. However, apparently, Joachim had issues with the form of thefirst movement. Dvořák stood his ground with the unconventional form andthe premiere of the work fell to the young Frantisek Ondricek in Prague, onOctober 1883.The first movement seems to be a combination of the sonata and rondo forms.However, the movement does not have the usual orchestra exposition of themain themes. There are several introductory lines, anticipating the main idea,and then the solo violin enters with the main theme. The development of thetheme has the feeling of an improvisation. This loose form gives the concerto arhapsodic quality. The second subject is a more subdued melody, and after theclimax of the movement, there is no recapitulation. The movement flowsdirectly into the second. The concerto has become a favorite among concertaudiences.
