SUMMARY:New Years Eve: Beethoven's Ninth
DESCRIPTION:James Lowe\, conductor\nDr. Meg Stohlmann\, chorale director\nSpokane Symphony Chorale \nSOLOISTS \n\nMalinda Wagstaff – Soprano\nNicole Sonbert – Alto\nMichael David Ash – Tenor\nJadrian Tarver – Bass\n\nRing in the New Year with the grandeur of Beethoven’s monumental Ninth Symphony! This work dedicated to freedom\, joy and unity is an uplifting masterpiece\, with its crowning jewel — “Ode to Joy” chorus performed by the Spokane Symphony Chorale. It’s a beautiful way to look boldly to the new year ahead. \nDOORS 6:30PM | SHOW 7:30PM \nMalinda Wagstaff\, Soprano\nMalinda Wagstaff has been hailed as “a voice to keep listening for” (Spokesman-Review). In 2025\, Ms. Wagstaff joined Festival Napa Valley’s Manetti Shrem Opera Studio\, performing in scenes from “Fidelio” and “Ariadne auf Naxos” and training with Angela Meade\, Martin Katz\, Noah Lindquist\, and more. She also premiered the role of Venus in the prologue of Jake Heggie’s “The Judgement of Paris.” She was featured as an emerging artist with Opera Bend with performances from “Tannhäuser\,” “Die Fledermaus\,” and “Tosca.”   \nA regular performer in the Pacific Northwest\, Ms. Wagstaff recently performed the titular role in Tosca for the Seattle Opera Guild’s season preview event. She also performed with Puget Sound Concert Opera as Medora in “Il Corsaro” and in the season preview with scenes from “Il Corsaro” and “Fidelio.” In the 2023-2024 season\, Malinda was a featured soloist with the Spokane Symphony for their performances of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony and Ralph Vaughan Williams’s “A Sea Symphony.” Of her performance of the Vaughan Williams\, the Spokesman-Review said Malinda “took on the challenges of Vaughan Williams’ writing for the solo soprano and vanquished every one.”   \nMs. Wagstaff earned her master of music degree from Indiana University while studying with Carol Vaness and her bachelor of music from the Eastman School of Music under the tutelage of Ruth Hennessy. While at Indiana University\, she performed as Mutter in “Hänsel und Gretel” and First Lady in “Die Zauberflöte.” Opera workshop performances included scenes from “Manon Lescaut” and “Tosca.”   \nNo stranger to the competition circuit\, Malinda holds multiple encouragement awards from the Metropolitan Opera Laffont competition\, as well as first prize awards in the Seattle Opera Guild (2024)\, Coeur d’Alene Symphony Young Artist (2020)\, and Musicfest Northwest Competitions (2023). Additionally\, Malinda was awarded the Bel Canto prize at the Oprheus Vocal Competition (2024) and 3rd place in the Seattle Opera Guild Competition.  \nOutside of performing\, Ms. Wagstaff also maintains a private voice studio and teaches at Gonzaga University.   \nNicole Sonbert\, Alto\nMezzo-soprano Nicole Sonbert has earned recognition for her rich timbre\, emotional depth\, and thoughtful storytelling across opera\, oratorio\, and recital stages. She is known for her resonant tone\, compelling dramatic presence\, and an interpretive approach that places equal value on musical precision and emotional authenticity. Whether portraying complex operatic characters or shaping intimate recital narratives\, Nicole brings a deep commitment to honest storytelling and human connection through song.  \nPraised for performances that balance vocal power with nuanced dramatic insight\, she has appeared in signature roles such as Madame Flora in Menotti’s The Medium\, the Mother in Menotti’s The Consul\, Aunt Lou in William Grant Still’s Highway One\, USA\, and Buttercup in Gilbert and Sullivan’s H.M.S. Pinafore. Nicole gravitates toward roles that require theatrical intensity and psychological nuance\, and she has been praised for her ability to balance strength\, vulnerability\, and dramatic clarity on stage. As a concert soloist\, she has appeared in major choral-orchestral masterworks\, including Handel’s Messiah\, Mozart’s Requiem in D minor\, and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 in D minor with several symphonies across the country.   \nBeyond the stage\, Nicole is committed to collaboration\, mentorship\, and community-centered artistry. She has partnered with symphonies\, festivals\, and arts organizations to produce performances\, masterclasses\, and engagement initiatives that broaden access to vocal music and support the next generation of artists. She currently serves as Director of Voice at Eastern Washington University\, where she leads the applied voice area and mentors developing singers through artistic\, academic\, and professional growth. She also serves as Assistant Editor for Youth Vocal Repertoire with the African Diaspora Music Project database. This database provides thousands of entries on vocal and orchestral works by African-diaspora composers\, giving performers\, teachers\, and students an accessible way to discover meaningful repertoire for recitals\, concerts\, and study.  \nGrounded\, generous\, and personable both onstage and off\, Nicole approaches her work with a spirit of curiosity and care. She is dedicated to cultivating spaces where music is not only performed\, but deeply felt\, where audiences are welcomed\, students are encouraged to take creative risks\, and collaboration serves as a powerful force for connection.  \nMichael David Ash\, Tenor\nDramatic tenor Michael David Ash is a native of Vancouver\, Washington. \nHe is known for his performances in leading tenor roles throughout the romantic repertoire such as Ruggero in Puccini’s La Rondine\, and Don José in Bizet’s Carmen in which he “carried the emotional weight of his role with great stamina” (South Florida Classical Review). Other recent roles include Harold Mitchell in André Previn’s A Streetcar Named Desire and Tamino in Mozart’s The Magic Flute. As a young Wagnerian Heldentenor he has garnered significant interest from programs domestically and abroad. \nMr. Ash attended Central Washington for his BM in vocal performance and recently graduated from the University of North Texas with his Master’s Degree in Voice. In the summer of 2023 Michael was featured in the world premiere of a restored Czech Oratorio by Daniel Milcinsky with performances in the Czech Republic in Olomouc and Brno. \nJadrian Tarver\, Bass\nDr. Jadrian Tarver\, baritone\, is a native of Haines City\, Florida. Dr. Tarver is a dynamic educator\, performer\, conductor\, and clinician. He has performed with the Spokane Symphony Orchestra\, Atlanta Opera\, Peach State Opera\, Capitol City Opera Company\, Michigan State University Opera\, Inland Northwest Opera Company\, and Opera Grand Rapids. His career has also extended internationally\, with performances across Europe and Asia\, further solidifying his reputation as a distinguished global artist.  \nAs an educator\, he has taught choral and band ensembles in middle and high schools across Metro Atlanta and Florida\, experiences that continue to enrich his work in higher education and community music-making. Through these various roles\, Dr. Tarver plays a pivotal role in shaping both academic programs and community engagement initiatives\, utilizing music as a means for education\, cultural celebration\, and social connection.  \nCurrently\, he serves as the Director of Voice at Gonzaga University\, where he oversees the voice program and acts as the music director for the university’s musical productions. He is also the first Assistant Professor of Applied Voice in Gonzaga’s 136-year history. In addition to his university role\, he serves as the Music Director at Manito United Methodist Church and is the Founding Director of the newly established performance ensemble\, Black United Voices of Spokane.   \n Dr. Jadrian Tarver’s research interests delve into the ways in which Black musical traditions—specifically spirituals\, gospel\, soul music\, and jazz—serve as powerful instruments for emotional healing\, cultural memory\, and community resilience. His work positions music as a therapeutic and restorative force that intersects with themes of spirituality\, identity\, and social justice.

This event is the culmination of a unique week-long music education residency connecting local schools with workshops\, assemblies\, and their own special concert. \nRecording artist\, performer\, producer\, inventor\, Emmy award-winning composer and music education advocate Mark Wood has spent the past four decades electrifying the music industry and has toured with some of its biggest names. Wood rose to fame as string master and original member of the internationally acclaimed Trans-Siberian Orchestra\, selling over 10 million albums during his time with them. \nVocalist Laura Kaye has worked with legendary artists such as James Brown\, Aretha Franklin\, and Lenny Kravitz; and is Mark’s partner in all their endeavors. \nDrummer Jason Gianni has performed with Trans-Siberian Orchestra and is an in-demand session musician. \nDOORS 6:30PM | SHOW 7:30PM \nMark Wood\n\nTrans-Siberian Orchestra’s Original String Master\nInternational Recording Artist\nWorld-Renowned Electric Violinist\nAward-Winning Composer\nMusic Education Advocate\n\nMark Wood’s dexterity\, ferocity\, texture\, and attack of playing almost invariably lead to comparisons with some of the rock era’s most renowned guitarists. Comparisons\, however\, cannot come close to capturing the electricity\, passion\, and innovation exhibited in all his unique music. \nIn an industry where originality is a highly prized commodity\, recording artist\, performer\, producer\, inventor\, Emmy award-winning composer\, and music education advocate Mark Wood is truly an original. Mark Wood has spent the past four decades electrifying the orchestra industry – literally. Dubbed The Eddie Van Halen of the Violin World by PBS\, Wood is the premier electric violinist of his generation who pioneered and innovated the entire genre. \nWood is a world-renowned performer who rose to fame as original string master of the internationally acclaimed multi-platinum selling Trans-Siberian Orchestra. A successful solo artist in his own right\, he tours with his band The Mark Wood Trans-Siberian Experience (MWTSE) which features his wife and partner\, vocalist Laura Kaye\, and has released seven solo albums showcasing his unique approach to the electric violin\, playing on his own line of patented instruments. Additionally\, he writes and records original music for film and television and has released albums featuring his collections of his dramatic and inspirational scores. \nWood began his career with a full scholarship to the prestigious Juilliard School in New York and had the privilege of studying under Maestro Leonard Bernstein at the Tanglewood Music Program.  \nMark’s true passion is music education. His groundbreaking Electrify Your Symphony (EYS) music education program\, now celebrating its 25th year\, is an immersive workshop and concert series that boosts student self-esteem\, fosters creative intelligence\, and helps raise much-needed funds to support school music departments. Mark and his team of Artist Mentors visit upwards of 75 schools per year and have worked with thousands of young musicians; raising millions of dollars for the districts who host the program. Since its inception\, EYS has been featured on NBC-TV’s The Today Show\, CBS Evening News\, CBS Morning News\, and countless regional media outlets.  \nMark has dedicated his career to providing educators with the opportunity to ignite their students’ passions and to inspire students to open their minds and unlock their potential. His book “Electrify Your Strings: The Mark Wood Improvisational Violin Method” is regarded as the definitive electric violin method book. Wood is passionate about providing educators and students with the tools they need to succeed in the classroom and beyond.

All ages welcome. \nDOORS 6:30PM | SHOW 7:30PM \nProgram Notes\nSymphony No. 9 in D Minor\, op. 125\nIn the decade leading up to about 1812 Beethoven had enjoyed the most productive period of his life. He not only had composed well over two dozen major works—works that stand in the highest ranks of Western music—and many more other compositions in various genres\, but he had changed the game of musical composition in lasting ways. Building upon the work of Haydn and Mozart\, he crafted a musical language that would forever set the mark for those who aspire to a musical style that is founded in an unprecedented internal coherence\, logical extension and exploration of tonality\, and a remarkable economy of means. Moreover\, he did so within a relentless exploration of formal\, architectural structure\, as well as developing a deep\, expressive\, lyrical and dramatic content. In essence—he had become the Beethoven who has hence stood in the exalted ranks of classical composers. \nIt was not without its personal price\, however. In addition to the intensity of his busy life as a composer of works that constantly evolved in content and complexity\, he faced constant pressures in coping with his loss of hearing\, his wrangles with his family\, his disappointments in personal relationships\, and the never-ending hassles with publishers and impresarios. In short\, by about 1812 there began a period of less productivity\, of reconsiderations of the path forward in musical style–and just plain mental and physical fatigue. It was the beginning of a time that eventually led to what musical scholars have commonly referred to as his last\, and third\, stylistic period. While the works from this period are universally hailed by musicians as works of genius and unparalleled in their advanced style\, it must be admitted that much of the concert-going public still has difficulty with appreciating the spare\, often obscure\, and abstract nature of many of these compositions. And yet\, there is the Ninth Symphony\, standing apparently forevermore in the smallest circle of almost everyone’s most beloved works of Beethoven. How is this possible? Is the Ninth Symphony not characteristic of the other works from this late\, difficult period? Wherein lies the almost universal appeal? \nDevelopment of the symphony as a genre from the models left by the mature Haydn and Mozart to its position of central importance in the musical world was one of Beethoven’s greatest achievements. Discounting the derivative first two symphonies—as good as they are—the core of his symphonic achievements lies in the six symphonies of the aforementioned decade. He finished the eighth symphony in 1812 and about that time began a few sketches for the ninth. It is clear that at that juncture he did not envision the special place that the ninth would take in his oeuvre\, but rather\, it was just the next one\, number nine. Work went more slowly\, however\, and even after the Philharmonic Society of London formally commissioned the Ninth Symphony in 1817\, serious efforts did not begin until around 1822\, with completion only in 1824\, about three years before his death. A major element in the work\, the novel and unprecedented incorporation of a choral setting of Schiller’s Ode to Joy poem\, had actually been in the back of his mind since way back in 1793\, but had not yet found its ultimate musical rôle for Beethoven. And\, of course\, he had composed the Fantasy in C Minor for Piano\, Chorus\, and Orchestra\, op. 80 later\, in 1808\, as a “brilliant finale” for the concert which saw the premières of the fifth and sixth symphonies. There are many similarities between the Choral Fantasy and his setting of Schiller’s poem in the Ninth Symphony. They have always been clear to all\, and the composer himself acknowledged the kinship. They include strong melodic and harmonic similarities between their respective main tunes\, and a like idealism in universal human and artistic values expressed in the texts. So\, all in all\, there were lots of elements stewing in the pot during the long gestation period of this major work of his last years. \nAll of these elements came together in a work that was significantly different from the great six symphonies that preceded it. To be sure\, the novelty of the choral finale\, with four vocal soloists\, was sufficiently path breaking. There was also a logical extension and development of technical elements in form and texture\, as well. But even lay audiences immediately sensed a more abstract\, elevated\, and deeper sense of spiritual “mission” from the outset. \nThe central idea of the symphony obviously stems from Schiller’s poem celebrating the universal brotherhood of mankind. But that celebration is not easily\, nor quickly arrived at. Before the stirring words of the fourth movement\, there is much psychological ground to be explored—and so the first three movements delve into darker reflections of the realities of existence. The first movement opens with a floating\, ominous “cloud” of suspense whose exact tonality is fittingly indeterminate. But after sixteen bars\, the main theme—a jagged and dynamic affair—appears in the central key of D minor. Other motives appear in constant parade—quite unlike many of his other works in which he literally works to death a single idea. This movement is rife with aphoristic\, and eminently useful ideas\, all contributing to a sense of unity\, despite their multiplicity. The careful listener will find that as the movement constantly explores the stress\, uncertainty\, and challenge of making sense of existence\, these motives pervade the musical fabric and carry the whole along. A further sense of unrest is generated by Beethoven’s tendency—a common one in his late works—to avoid the structurally reassuring contrast of tonic and dominant keys. Here\, the tonal polarity is between D minor and Bb major—one of the composer’s favorite juxtapositions of keys. While there are many quiet moments (even in “happy” keys)\, the dark uncertainly pounds along all the way to a forceful conclusion—in which it might be said that nothing is actually “concluded” with regard to higher matters. \nConventionally\, the fast\, dance-like (or in this case\, scherzo) movement is the third one\, but in this case Beethoven chose to put it second. Like the beloved last movement\, it has garnered a secure place in popular culture\, even serving some years ago as the theme for the evening television news. And like the first movement\, there is no joy in this one\, either. It is a serious\, hammering thing\, driven by the timpani\, which opens the movement with its signature rhythm. Usually\, the formal structure of a scherzo is somewhat straight forward\, but the composer chose here to employ the full sonata form\, with its first and second theme groups\, development section\, and recapitulation—yet more evidence of the scale and importance that Beethoven imbued in the work. It is relatively easy to keep track of the main section and its repeats\, for the composer has thoughtfully provided us with three bars of complete silence to mark them. The traditional middle section of a scherzo\, the trio\, here is unusual in that it is not only in duple meter (two to the bar)\, but is in the cheerful parallel major key—really\, one of the first extended sections in the symphony thus far not in a minor key. After this diversion\, the expected return to the first section occurs\, but severely abbreviated\, and after a quick allusion to the trio\, a sudden ending surprises us. \nThe Adagio is a glorious example of Beethoven’s unequalled skill in evoking the transcendent. A leisurely exploration in anticipation of the “joy” of the last movement—and which has hitherto eluded us—it continues the delicious juxtaposition of the keys of Bb and D major/minor. After a brief introduction\, the violins play the familiar theme in Bb\, followed shortly by the other half of the main theme\, but now in the other key. Two variations on these themes in various remote and refreshing keys constitute the body of the movement. A little fanfare-like figure introduces the coda\, and after a bit more variation (Beethoven can never resist the procedure) this meditative episode is over. \nThe incorporation of a chorus in the last movement was simply unprecedented at the time\, and still is remarkable. But then\, a choral setting of Schiller’s poem is\, of course\, the raison d’être of the whole symphony. But how to transit into it after such a serious\, long\, and imposing three movements? That it gave Beethoven fits is well documented. He labored at many solutions before finding the way that seemed to make the whole affair a logical procession to the inevitable. And so the unique form of the last movement effects that end. The “roadmap” of the movement is varied and somewhat complex\, but in the end it all makes sense and informs the sense of inevitability as it proceeds. \nThe movement begins with a fiery storm of agitation\, quickly followed by the solo basses literally singing like an operatic bass\, in the best of vocal recitative style\, obviously taking over the show. The orchestra presents a short review of snatches of the first three movements—with the basses seeming to “reject” them. The basses\, which obviously have found the solution\, present their idea\, an intimation of the famous last movement’s tune. The real theme then appears several times\, each with fuller harmony and orchestration. But\, apparently\, that’s not sufficient\, and a human voice finally enters—to the tune of the original recitative by the basses and entreats all: “Oh\, friends\, not these tones!” More variations follow\, this time in various combinations of vocal soloists and chorus\, each one raising the emotional and musical stakes. At the climax it is all dramatically broken off at the words: “Before God!” \nWhat ensues is a kind of Turkish march that starts softly in the lower voices (including the distinctive contra-bassoon). This last variation gradually builds\, helped by the interjections from the excited tenor and the men in the chorus. When the climax is reached\, the voices drop out\, and the orchestra zips into double fugue in the same bustling march rhythm. After a short\, quiet transition the full orchestra and chorus blaze out with the main theme. \nBut\, soon thereafter all slows down and the chorus and trombones dramatically intone the directive for the “millions” to embrace the earth below of the “common Father.” A short hymn-like passage then earnestly and reverently changes its mind\, and suggests that all should “look upward” to the Maker’s mansion in the starry pavilions. In joy at this new understanding of mankind’s salvation\, chorus\, soloists\, chorus\, and orchestra plunge into the general celebration of that fact. Dramatic variants of tempo\, texture\, and familiar themes drive us to a conclusion that has few equals in all of music—and we are reminded\, yet again\, of why Beethoven\, notwithstanding the human faults that he shares with us all\, had the inimitable gift to point the way to human transcendence. \n–Wm.
