Svetoslav Stoyanov, percussion The Frost Wind Ensemble presents Shared Spaces, an evening of dynamic contemporary music that explores collaboration, contrast, and the evolving relationship between soloist and ensemble. At the center of the program are two compelling works that challenge traditional roles and invite the audience into vibrant, shared sonic landscapes. The concert features Mason Bates’s Sideman, performed with acclaimed percussionist Svet Stoyanov. A genre‑blurring work infused with kinetic energy and rhythmic drive, Sideman reimagines the concerto relationship by placing the soloist both within and alongside the ensemble—at times leading, at times blending, constantly reshaping the musical dialogue. Stoyanov’s virtuosic presence brings clarity and intensity to Bates’s electrifying sound world, where acoustic color and modern rhythmic language collide. Complementing Sideman is the world premiere of James David’s Concerto for Wind Ensemble, a bold new work written specifically for the expressive and dramatic possibilities of the modern wind ensemble. The concerto expands the idea of “shared space,” creating moments of intimacy, tension, and collective power as solo voices emerge from—and recede into—the larger ensemble texture. Together, the two works frame a compelling conversation about individuality, collaboration, and the future of large‑ensemble music. Shared Spaces reflects the Frost Wind Ensemble’s commitment to contemporary voices, innovative programming, and meaningful artistic partnerships. By pairing a landmark work of the contemporary repertoire with an important new premiere, this concert offers audiences an engaging and forward‑looking musical experience—one that celebrates virtuosity, creativity, and the powerful connections forged through sound.

Gerard Schwarz, conductor Cello Student Soloist, TBA This concert opens with Eugene Goossens’ Jubilee Variations. Written in celebration of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra’s 50th Anniversary in 1945, the work is a collaborative set of variations on Goossens’ original theme. He invited ten American composers - including Aaron Copland, Paul Creston, Howard Hanson, and William Schuman - to each contribute a variation, while he himself composed the finale. From this American opening, the program turns to Variations on a Rococo Theme, Op. 33 by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Inspired by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his admiration for the Classical style, Tchaikovsky uses an original theme in the Rococo style. He worked closely with the German cellist Wilhelm Fitzenhagen, for whom the piece was written. Fitzenhagen later made significant changes to the piece, going as far as rearranging the order of the original eight variations, and eliminating the final one. The program concludes with Johannes Brahms’ Symphony No. 3 in F major, Op. 90. Although the shortest of his four symphonies, it remains one of his most powerful and concentrated works. After listening to the first and final movements, Antonin Dvorak remarked, “I say without exaggerating that this work surpasses his first two symphonies; if not, perhaps, in grandeur and powerful conception—then certainly in—beauty.” The symphony opens with the motif F-Ab-F, widely interpreted as a musical representation of Brahms’ personal motto, rei aber froh (free but happy). Brahms developed this motto in response to his friend, Hungarian violinist Joseph Joachim’s motto, frei aber einsam (free but lonely).

Inspired by the Golden Record aboard NASA’s Voyager spacecraft, the work reflects on humanity’s musical legacy sent into the vastness of space. The program continues with a piano concert by Franz Lizst (to be announced). The concert concludes with Sergei Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5 in Bb major, Op. 100. Composed in 1944 at the height of World War II, the work is often informally referred to as the “Wartime Symphony.” Prokofiev described it as a “hymn to free and happy Man,” capturing both the resilience and optimism of the human spirit.
