Heinz Hall opens its doors: September 10, 1971........................2 It is the mission of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra to provide musical experiences at the highest level of expression to enrich the community and satisfy the needs and preferences of our audiences. We will achieve this mission by working together to support an internationally recognized orchestra and by ensuring a viable long-term financial future; a fulfilling environment for our orchestra, staff, volunteers; and the unsurpassed satisfaction of our customers. Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra performances are brought to the community in part by generous support from the Allegheny Regional Asset District and corporations, foundations and individuals throughout our community. The PSO receives state arts funding support through a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

SEPTEMBER 10, 1971: HEINZ HALL OPENS ITS DOORS The opening night for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in its newly-renovated home was full of celebration fitting to the grandeur of the building itself. September 10, 1971 marked the 45th anniversary of the Pittsburgh Symphony and the 20th year of William Steinberg’s role at the helm of the Orchestra. Before the opening event, sub-

scriptions for the 1971-72 season were sold out! The festive evening was celebrated with ceremony and pageantry: flowers adorned the tables and hallways; dinners were held for guests; champagne was served to all; and above all, world-class music was performed by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. The entire city of Pittsburgh was celebrating the opening of its new performing arts center and the nation took notice. A thousand of the 2,847 guests were

invited to H.J. “Jack” and Drue Heinz’s intimate dinner party in the main ballroom of the Pittsburgh Hilton Hotel. In attendance at the dinner were such friends as Henry and Elsie Hillman, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Mellon, Mr. and Mrs. E.P. Mellon, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Benedum, Mr. and Mrs. Gregory Peck and composer Samuel Barber. Although the Hilton was only two blocks from the new venue, Mr. Heinz provided his guests with air-conditioned buses to transport them to the red carpet rolled out in front of the entrances to the Hall. Members of the National Council on the Arts, including chairwoman Nancy Hanks, deputy chairman Michael Straight, Marian Anderson, Charlton Heston, James Earl Jones, Maurice Abravanel, conductor and director of the Utah Symphony Orchestra, concert pianist Rudolf Serkin, Peter Mennin, director of the Juilliard School, and sculptor Richard Hunt, among others, attended the opening night’s events, despite the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts opening the same week a little closer to home. The inaugural concert of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in its new home of

Heinz Hall for the Performing Arts began at 8:40 p.m. and concluded at 10:45 p.m. The dedication address was given by Henry L. Hillman. The oboe sounded an ‘A,’ Maestro Steinberg arrived at the podium and the first notes of Beethoven’s Overture to Consecration of the House rang throughout the new concert hall. Samuel Barber’s Fadograph of a Yestern Scene, commissioned by the Alcoa Foundation for the occasion, followed the Overture. Prior to intermission, Maestro Steinberg led the PSO in the first movement of Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 in C minor, “Resurrection,” with the rest of the work to follow after intermission. Soloists for the evening were Joanna Simon, mezzo-soprano, and Benita Valente, soprano. The Pennsylvania State University Chorus, directed by Raymond Brown, completed the necessary forces for such a momentous piece, aptly chosen for the resurrection of a world-class concert hall from the “ashes” of Penn Theatre.

HEINZ HALL

“In the late 1960s the Pittsburgh Symphony was due to move out of its old home at Syria Mosque in Oakland. Yet its promised new concert hall in the showy Center for the Arts, planned for the lower Hill urban-renewal area, had not been started (and never was). To give the Symphony temporary space, the Heinz Endowments bought the old Penn Theatre, which, like many of the silentmovie theaters, had stage space. As the hope of the cultural display case on the Hill was deferred still further, and as

interested parties stressed the advantages of a concert hall in the center of the city, the temporary expedient became the permanent plan with a remodeling by the local firm Stotz, Hess, MacLachlan & Fosner. Shop space became a lobby; the old entrance became a huge foyer window; and broad office windows above were partly filled in, in a rather Viennese Baroque style. [One of the last makers] of architectural terra cotta in the United States was commissioned to match the warm off-white of the original facing, and

did an almost-perfect job. Inside, the richly decorated auditorium, originally meant to be dark, was lightened in tones of cream, red, and gold, and Verner S. Purnell of Sewickley painted huge gray-gold trophies in a Neo-Baroque manner. The old spaces outside the auditorium were adapted to intermission crowds, presenting a spectacle of real marble, fake marble, glossy ceramics, and chandeliers. The popularity of Heinz Hall led to its facilities being over-taxed, and anoth-

Lawrence Loh

Resident Conductor of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Music Director of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic and Music Director of the Pittsburgh Youth Symphony Orchestra, Lawrence Loh is one of the most exciting young talents on the classical music scene today. He was brought to national attention in February 2004 when he substituted last minute for an ailing Charles Dutoit with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. Conducting Stravinsky’s Petrouchka and Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique, Loh received enthusiastic acclaim from orchestra players, audience members and critics, alike. Since his appointment as Music Director of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic in 2005, the orchestra has flourished artistically, defining its reputation as one of the finest regional orchestras in the country. His leadership has attracted such artists as André Watts, Anne Akiko Meyers, Jon Nakamatsu, Zuill Bailey and Sharon Isbin. A champion of early childhood exposure to music, Loh created a family concert series that is dedicated to the youngest of audiences. He is very active in the region as an arts leader and music advocate, and is constantly in demand as a guest speaker and clinician. As Resident Conductor of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Loh works closely with Music Director Manfred Honeck and conducts a wide range of concerts including classical, educational and pops. He is active in the PSO’s Community Engagement and Partnership Concerts, extending the PSO’s reach into other communities. Recent notable concerts with the Pittsburgh Symphony include performances of Dvorak’s 7th Symphony, Mendelssohn’s 4th Symphony and Beethoven’s 7th Symphony on a concert featuring violinist Sarah Chang. He made his debut on the main classical series conducting Handel’s Messiah in December 2008. As the conductor of the enormously popular Fiddlesticks Family Series “Bringing Music to the Lives of Children,” Loh plays the part of host and conductor. In addition to his duties on the podium, he is an audience favorite in the PSO’s Concert Preludes lecture series, 16 pittsburghsymphony.org

edits radio broadcasts, and makes many public appearances. His association with the PSO began as Assistant Conductor in 2005-2006. He was promoted to Associate Conductor in 2006-2007 and to Resident Conductor in 2007-2008. Loh’s recent guest conducting engagements include his debut with the Seoul Philharmonic and a return engagement with the Dallas Symphony. Other recent guest conducting appearances include the Malaysian Philharmonic, the Detroit Symphony and the San Angelo Symphony. He has conducted the symphony orchestras of Portland, Cedar Rapids, Colorado Springs, East Texas, Fort Collins, Fort Worth, Lubbock, Plano, Shreveport, Sioux City, Spokane and Tallahassee among others. He has also led Korea’s Daejeon Philharmonic Orchestra, the Binghamton Philharmonic, the Yale Philharmonia, Omaha Area Youth Orchestra, Ottawa’s National Arts Centre Orchestra and the Dallas Chamber Orchestra. His summer appearances include the festivals of Bravo Vail Valley, Breckenridge, Las Vegas and Hot Springs, the Kinhaven Music Academy, the Performing Arts Institute (PA) and the Carnegie Mellon Summer Strings Camp. Loh held the positions of Assistant and Associate Conductor of the Dallas Symphony from 2001-2005. He led the Dallas Symphony in a variety of classical and educational programs throughout each season including classical subscription. Highlights include impassioned performances of Brahms’ Requiem, Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances and Brahms’ 2nd Symphony. Prior to his Dallas appointment, Loh was appointed by Music Director Marin Alsop to be Associate Conductor of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. From 1998-2001, he conducted more than 50 concerts annually, including classical subscription, pops, education, family and outreach programs. While in Denver, he was also Music Director of the Denver Young Artists Orchestra, the premiere youth orchestra in the Colorado Rocky Mountain Region. Additionally, Loh served as the Interim Director of Orchestras and Head

biography

of the Orchestral Conducting Program at Denver University’s Lamont School of Music in 2000-2001. In May 1998, Loh received his Artist Diploma in Orchestral Conducting from Yale University, also earning the Eleazar de Carvalho Prize, given to the most outstanding conductor in the Yale graduating class. During his years at Yale, he was chosen to be the Assistant Conductor of the Norwalk Symphony Orchestra and Apprentice Conductor of the Hot Springs Music Festival. He received further training at the worldrenowned Aspen Music Festival and School and has additional degrees from Indiana University and the University of Rochester.

In addition to income from the Annual Fund, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra is dependent on a robust Endowment to assure its financial stability. Gifts from Legacy of Excellence programs are directed to the endowment account to provide for the PSO's future. The Steinberg Society honors donors who have advised the PSO in writing that they have made a provision for the orchestra through their estate plans. Members of the Sid Kaplan Tribute program have made a planned gift to the endowment of $10,000 or more to commemorate a particular person or event. Endowed Naming Opportunities for guest artists, musicians' chairs, concert series, educational programs or designated spaces allow donors to specify a name or tribute for ten years, twenty years or in perpetuity.

What time should I arrive for concerts? You may want to arrive at least 20 minutes prior to concert start time to allow time for parking, entering the hall and finding your seat. BNY Mellon Grand Classics patrons have the opportunity to attend Concert Preludes, which begin one hour before the concert in the auditorium. What should I wear to concerts? There is no official dress code for events in Heinz Hall. Many patrons wear business attire, and many prefer to be more casual. Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable.

May I bring my children? Introducing small children to music is important to the PSO and we welcome young children to our youth concerts and Fiddlesticks Family Series. Children, approximately age six and over, are welcome at all performances with a purchased ticket. The Latecomer’s Gallery and lobby video monitors are always options for restless children. May I take pictures? All still and video photography, or audio recording are strictly prohibited at all times.

What can I do to support the PSO? Your ticket purchase supports the PSO and we thank you! However, ticket sales only cover a portion of our operating costs. To make a tax-deductible gift to the PSO, contact our Donor Relations department at 412.392.4880 or visit us online at pittsburghsymphony.org How can I get someone from the PSO to speak at our event?
