2011 INTERNATIONAL MUSIC FESTIVAL
June 25 Opening Night: HMS Pinafore by Gilbert & Sullivan
Bel Canto at Caramoor
Saturday, 8:30pm ~ Venetian Theater
Sir Joseph Porter, Jason Plourde, baritone; Captain Corcoran, Jorell Williams, baritone; Ralph Rackstraw, Robert McPherson, tenor; Dick Deadeye, Scott Bearden, baritone; Josephine, Georgia Jarman, soprano; Little Buttercup, Vanessa Cariddi, mezzo soprano; Cousin Hebe, Tynan Davis, mezzo-soprano; Bill Bobstay, Nicolas Masters, bass; Bob Becket, Jeffrey Beruan, bass
Orchestra of St. Luke's, William Crutchfield, conductor
Steven Tharp, director; Paul Carey, production designer
HMS Pinafore is one of the most beloved and delightful of the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. As a piece of theater, it is a cheerful satire on the arrival of modernity, bureaucracy and democratic ideals to the Royal Navy of Queen Victoria's era. As a piece of music, it is England's version of "bel canto" comic opera, plain and simple. With this production, Caramoor's Opera Director Will Crutchfield realizes his long-standing dream to present a version that does full justice to the brilliant music and the operatic vocal writing.
Orchestra of St. Luke’s, in residence at the Caramoor International Music Festival.

Our third president loved his violin and frequently played the latest works of the European masters Mozart, Haydn, and Corelli in his salon at Monticello. At the same time, his slaves were making music of their own, featuring the “banjer” (the banjo, an “African immigrant”), singing, improvising and combining their African ancestry and American hardship. This program reproduces what might have been heard at Monticello after-hours in Jefferson’s home and in the slave quarters. Performances on the glass armonica, invented by Benjamin Franklin, will also be featured.

July 9 William Tell by Gioachino Rossini
Bel Canto at Caramoor
Saturday, July 9 at 7:30pm ~ Venetian Theater
William Tell, Daniel Mobbs, bass-baritone; Matilde, Julianna Di Giacomo, soprano; Arnold, Michael Spyres, tenor; Jemmy, Talise Trevigne, soprano; Hedwige, Vanessa Cariddi, mezzo-soprano; Walter, Nicolas Masters, bass; Rodolphe, Rolando Sanz, tenor; Fisherman, Brian Downen, tenor; Melchthal, Jeffrey Beruan, bass; Gesler, Scott Bearden, baritone; Leuthold, Michael Nyby, baritone
Orchestra of St. Luke's, Will Crutchfield, conductor
William Tell is Rossini's final opera, his masterpiece, and his most important legacy to the half-century of French and Italian grand opera that followed after its 1829 premiere. Though universally admired -- and known all over the world by its famous overture -- the opera is rarely performed because of its sheer difficulty. Soloists, chorus and orchestra alike are stretched to the limit by its demands, but the reward is a feast of music and drama with few parallels in the whole history of opera.

July 14 Sins of Youth, Sins of Age
Bel Canto Young Artists
Thursday, 7:30pm ~ Spanish Courtyard
Sins of Youth, Sins of Age presents the Bel Canto Young Artists in a festive program of Rossini's songs and vocal chamber music. When Rossini shocked the world by retiring from opera at the age of 37, it did not mean that his creativity had run dry; decades later, as a grand old man in Paris, he produced volume after volume of miniature works in a startling variety of moods and genres. (He called these "Pechés de vieillesse" - sins of old age.) Our program combines them with rarely heard early works - in some cases unknown to modern audiences - that are being prepared for publication in the Baerenreiter Rossini Edition under Philip Gossett.

Gustav Mahler remains the most pivotal figure of end-of-the-century Vienna. Positioned between the worlds of the Brahms/Wagner divide and the Second Viennese School of Schoenberg, Berg, and Webern, Mahler's music embodies the nostalgia of 19th century Europe, while looking forward to the dangerous decades ahead. This program recalls the musical incubator Mahler grew up in, as well as his own work and those of his disciples.
