Month: August 2025

In a New York Times “Critic’s Notebook,” Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim samples the Bard Festival’s survey of music by Bohuslav Martinů (1890-1959), the Czech-born composer who spent most of his creative life in France and US.

“[A] restless exile equally fluent in Czech folk song, Neo-Classicism and the hum of the modern world . . . one of the most distinct and delightful voices of his time,” Fonseca-Wollheim writes. “Through decades of exile and in an age defined by ideological binaries, Martinů held fast to his own voice and to an intellectual independence that refused to be boxed in.”

I’ve thought for some time that Martinů may be the most under-rated composer of the past century. His range of stylistic references is extraordinary: Who else quotes James P. Johnson’s “Charleston,” evokes Moravian folk dance, and reimagines the baroque concerto grosso? And writes in a modernist yet accessible idiom? Every work of his that I’ve heard – and I’m nowhere near hearing them all – is an audibly finished product, but unconstrained, seemingly spontaneous, full of surprises, muscular rhythmically, often otherworldly harmonically.

Fascinating, and habit-forming, listening.

Visiting the festival in upstate New York, run by Leon Botstein, Bard College’s longtime president and an accomplished conductor, Fonseca-Wollheim heard a representative sampling of Martinů’s singular sound world:

Three works that give you an idea of Martinů’s range:

Violinist Midori, the Pacifica Quartet with clarinetist Anthony McGill and the SPA Trio – soprano Susanna Phillips, violist Paul Neubauer and pianist Anne-Marie McDermott – highlight classical attractions in the coming season of the University of Richmond’s Modlin Arts Center.

The Richmond Symphony’s 2025-26 season will explore musical Americana in a genre-crossing sampler ranging from works by Copland, Gershwin and John Williams to Sousa marches, gospel music and songs from Motown and the Philly Sound.

The coming season, Valentina Peleggi’s fifth as the orchestra’s music director, will feature nine programs in the mainstage Symphony Series and an enlarged Pops season with eight events, all at the Carpenter Theatre of Dominion Energy Center in dowtown Richmond.

“In Your Neighborhood,” a reconfiguration of the former Metro Collection chamber-orchestra series, will stage four concerts at St. Christopher’s School in Richmond’s West End, two at Randolph-Macon College’s Blackwell Auditorium in Ashland and one at Perkinson Arts Center in Chester.

Symphony Series guest soloists include pianists Emanuel Ax in Chopin’s Concerto No. 2, Conrad Tao in Gershwin’s Concerto in F and Angela Cheng in Beethoven’s Concerto No. 4. Francesca Dego will play Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, and Neal Cary, the orchestra’s principal cellist, will be featured in Dvořák’s Cello Concerto.

Other major repertory on the schedule are Rachmaninoff’s Second, Dvořák’s Seventh, Brahms’ Fourth and Haydn’s 87th symphonies, Mozart’s “Jupiter” Symphony (No. 41), Holst’s “The Planets,” suites from Bizet’s “Carmen,” Tchaikovsky’s “Romeo and Juliet,” and Ravel’s “Boléro.”

The mainstage series will present two works by Damien Geter, the symphony’s composer-in-residence: “An African American Requiem” (2019) with soloists and the Richmond Symphony Chorus, and the premiere of an orchestral suite from “Loving v. Virginia,” which Virginia Opera and the symphony premiered in the spring.

Other contemporary composers represented in the season’s classical programs are Tao, Jessie Montgomery, Jennifer Higdon, Carlos Simon, Valerie Coleman, Ke-Chia Chen, Jasmine Guo, Stacy Garrop, Eric Ewazen and Viet Cuong.

Joining Peleggi and Hae Lee, the symphony’s associate conductor, on the podium will be Chia-Hsuan Lin, Lee’s predecessor in Richmond, now music director of Minnesota’s Rochester Symphony & Chorale; Kazem Abdullah, former general music director in Aachen, Germany, now active as a guest conductor of orchestras and opera companies in the Americas and Europe; Benjamin Manis, resident conductor of the Grand Teton Music Festival in Wyoming and a frequent guest at leading opera houses; and Henry Panion III, a composer and conductor, based at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, who has performed and recorded with a number of gospel, jazz, country and popular artists.

The Richmond Symphony Chorus, led by Richard W. Robbins, will sing in the Geter Requiem, “The Planets,” the “Let It Snow!” holiday pops show, and a program of American choral pieces.

Music at Hardywood will return with four casual classical concerts at Richmond’s Hardywood Park Craft Brewery.

The Pops season will feature a Halloween “Rocky Horror Show” staged with the Richmond Triangle Players, “A Night in Vienna” with waltzes and other works by Johann Strauss II, tributes to John Philip Sousa and Arthur Fiedler, longtime maestro of the Boston Pops, “Symphony Praise Party” with Panion and Pastor Mike Jr., and the Motown-Philly show, as well as “Let It Snow!” and “Holiday Brass.”

Among 10 special concerts are a season-opening black-tie gala, free concerts at Richmond’s Chimborazo and Abner Clay parks and Pocahontas State Park in Chesterfield County, “Band Geek Date Night”with James Madison University’s Marching Royal Dukes, and screenings of two films, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” and the 1989 “Batman,” with live orchestral accompaniment.

Two ticketed Family Concerts are scheduled, and the Richmond Symphony Youth Orchestra will present free concerts by the orchestra and ensembles, along with a “Side-by-Side” collaborative performance with the symphony.

Damien Geter, composer-in-residence at the Richmond Symphony, has been named music director of Oregon’s Portland Opera.

Geter had been serving as the company’s artistic advisor and interim music director.

A 45-year-old native of Chesterfield County in Richmond’s suburbs, now based in Chicago, Geter is a bass-baritone who has performed with the Metropolitan Opera and Chicago Opera Theater, as well as orchestras and other ensembles. As an actor, he has played roles in a number of stage and television productions.

“Loving v. Virginia,” Geter’s and librettist Jessica Murphy Moo’s opera on the lives of Mildred and Richard Loving, who defied Virginia’s ban on interracial marriage, leading to the 1967 US Supreme Court ruling outlawing such laws, was premiered by Virginia Opera earlier this year.

Geter’s earlier operas, “American Apollo” and “Delta King’s Blues,” as well as orchestral, chamber and vocal works, also address historical and current aspects of the Black American life and art.

In its coming season, the Richmond Symphony will stage the premiere of an orchestral suite from “Loving v. Virginia” and Geter’s “An African American Requiem” (2019), a setting of the Latin Requiem Mass that incorporates Negro spirituals and declarations against violence toward Blacks.
