Cantus is committed to inspiring audiences with music
performed at the highest level. Rehearsing and performing
without a conductor or music director, the members
of Cantus are renowned for adventurous programming
spanning many periods and genres, including work
commissioned specifically for the group. Cantus is
acknowledged around the world for their programmatic
versatility, artistic excellence and charismatic personality.
Much of the music on this program is taken from the group’s 2010
recording, That Eternal Day, a review of which follows:
“The most striking thing about the all-male voice a cappella
group Cantus is how much heart they put into their singing. Their
arrangements in this compilation of American sacred music are
imaginative but not too flashy, their balance is perfectly tempered,
their sound as pure as baptismal waters, but it’s their spiritual
commitment to the material that stands out. They capture the
listener’s interest immediately with their infectious, irresistible opener,
“There’s a Meeting Here Tonight.” Two alternate (and alternately-
titled) settings of the text we know as “Amazing Grace” provide a
welcome departure from the omnipresent tune that has saturated
our national gatherings, both sacred and secular. One of these,
entitled ‘Jewett,’ is a rousing call, while the other, “What I Have
Done,” is a gospel hymn with shifting major and minor harmonies.
In “He Never Said a Mumberlin’ Word,” the voices navigate the
irregular rhythms in absolute unity without a stray gasp of air or
straggling consonant. Balancing stirring entries like “Run On” are
reflective songs such as the exquisitely rendered “The Sweet By
and By.” Cantus also offers a tender performance of “Simple Gifts”
that is among the loveliest I have heard. The clean gravel of the
bass voices is a particular treat throughout, especially anchoring
“Goin’ Home,” but they get a chance to shine in their solo lines in
the inspirational “Witness.” Cantus performs without a dedicated
conductor or music director, rotating leadership among its members
song by song. It’s a process that could only work with singers devoid
of ego. Judging from their presentation here, the gentlemen of
Cantus know themselves well and value the relative greatness of the
whole.” [Joanne Sydney Lessner, Opera News]

PÉROTIN [ca. late 12th - early 13th century]
Sederunt Principes (Princes Sat)
Pérotin (“Pérotin the Great”) was believed to be French and one of
the first international composers of polyphonic music. Sederunt is an
organum (form of chant), an early type of polyphonic music. Organum
is a technique, first described in treatises of the 10th Century, of adding
a new voice or voices to a given piece of plainchant. The simplest kind
of organum consists of a voice moving in parallel with the chant at a
fixed distance. Medieval singers were adept at improvising this parallel
organum to decorate a given melody. The structure of an organum
setting depends entirely on the plainchant it decorates. As time passed,
composers began to write additional parts that were not just simple
transpositions, consequently creating true polyphony.
THOMAS TALLIS
[ca. 1505-1585]
If Ye Love Me (ca. 1546-1548)
If ye love me is a very early example of the Anglican anthem (the
word “anthem” had been coined two or three centuries earlier as an
English version of the Latin “antiphona”). This work suggests that the
early anthem acquired formal and stylistic mannerisms, notably the
alternation of homophony and imitative counterpoint. If ye love me
alternates chordal and imitative sections, again with a repeated second
half. Like so many love songs, it deals with uncertainty.
ALLAH RAKHA RAHMAN [b.1966]
(ARR. ETHAN SPERRY)
Zikr (1994)
Rahman, born A.S. Dileep Kumar, in Madras (now Chennai), is one of
the most prolific and influential film composers, famous for the score
to Slumdog Millionaire. Zikr, composed in the style of Islamic prayer
chants, was written for the film Bose: The Forgotten Hero, about
the last five years of the life of Indian independence leader “Netaji”
Subhash Chandra Bose during World War II.
EDVARD GRIEG
[1843-1907]
Bådn-låt (At the Cradle), Op. 30, No.2 (1877-1878)
A Norwegian folk song, often sung as a Children’s lullaby. Grieg’s
version of this traditional tune is enlivened with vocal sound effects. It
is a lovely, quiet and simple melody, and a perfect example of Grieg’s
melodic ability and the ease with which he can charm the listener.
FRANZ SCHUBERT
[1797-1828]
Die Nacht (Night), Op. 17, No.4/D.983c (ca. 1822)
Throughout his prolific career, Schubert produced a substantial number
of beautiful, rich, and sublime songs. Die Nacht is one of four undated
Schubert quartets for unaccompanied male voice which make up Four
Quartets, D. 983 (text: Friedrich Wilhelm Krummacher).
FRANZ BIEBL
[1906-2001]
Ave Maria (1964)
Biebl is one of modern Germany’s most celebrated choral composers.
The lyric tenderness and the rich chordal texture of his Ave Maria are
set in a contemplative fashion. Each verse is intoned by a solo chant line
that tells the story of the annunciation. Biebl’s setting exploits the lavish
sonorous possibilities of double-chorus writing for men’s voices.
PAVEL CHESNOKOFF [1877-1944]
Salvation is Created (1912)
Salvation was one of Chesnokoff’s very last sacred choral works,
composed before he was forced to turn to secular arts by the
oppressive Soviet Union. Chesnokoff was among the leading figures in
the revival of Russian Orthodox music during the decades surrounding
the beginning of the 20th century, serving as the foundation and
inspiration for a wealth of new liturgical compositions.

SPIRITUAL (ARR. JESTER HAIRSTON)
In Dat Great Getting’ Up Mornin’
The spiritual, an established part of plantation life by the early 19th
century, was the musical embodiment of the pain, the hope and the
religious conviction of enslaved African-Americans. “In the Negro
spirituals of America,” wrote Antonín Dvorˇák during his residency in this
country in the early 1890s, “I discover all that is needed for a great and
noble school of music. They are pathetic, tender, passionate, melancholy,
solemn, religious, bold, merry; it is music that suits itself to any mood
and purpose.”
JOHN LENNON [1940-1980]
PAUL MCCARTNEY [born 1942]
(ARR. FOSS)
I Wanna Hold Your Hand (1964)
“What a remarkable 50 years these have been for the world,” reflected
Queen Elizabeth II on her golden wedding anniversary in 1997. “Think
what we would have missed if we had never heard the Beatles.”
Acclaimed as “the premier men’s vocal ensemble in the United States”
(Fanfare), Cantus is committed to inspiring audiences with music
performed at the highest level. Rehearsing and performing without a
conductor or music director, the members of Cantus are renowned for
adventurous programming spanning many periods and genres, including

GORDON LIGHTFOOT [b. 1938]
(ARR. DUNBAR)
Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald (1976)
At the time it was launched in 1958, the 729-foot long, 75-foot
wide freighter S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald was the largest ship to sale
the Great Lakes. On November 10, 1975 the Fitzgerald left Superior,
Wisconsin carrying 26,000 tons of iron ore, bound for Detroit.
Though the day was bright, in her path lay a terrible storm with 60
MPH winds and waves in excess of 15 feet. As the storm built, her
experienced captain headed north across Lake Superior, seeking
the relative shelter of the Canadian shore and Whitefish Bay. Luck
was not with the ship or the crew. At 7:10pm, the captain delivered
what was to be his final message: “We’re holding our own.” The
Fitzgerald’s image on its radar screen disappeared at 7:25pm. The
ship and crew sank to the bottom of Lake Superior. The tragic
story of the Edmund Fitzgerald is remembered through Gordon
Lightfoot’s ballad.
U2/BONO (ARR. BOB CHILCOTT)
MLK (1984)
MLK , honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, is the final track on the
album The Unforgettable Fire by the best-selling Irish rock band U2.
Bono, the group’s lead vocalist, received the highest award of the
King Center for Nonviolent Social Change, founded by Coretta Scott
King in the civil rights leader’s memory.
YSAYE MARIA BARNWELL [b. 1946]
Wanting Memories
“Wanting Memories was part of a suite of songs commissioned for
a dance theater piece called Crossings. I did dedicate ‘Wanting’ to
my father when we recorded it but it was written while both my
parents were still alive. I am an only child and when my father died
and then my mother, and I prepared to sell the house I grew up in, I
found bags of photos, letters and other memorabilia — the kind of
things especially an only child hopes for. So in a sense, the song was
an unconscious wish or prayer that actually came true.” [Barnwell]

CIRQUE DE LA SYMPHONIE
Cirque de la Symphonie
is designed to bring the
magic of cirque to the
music hall through a fusion
of cirque and orchestra.
It showcases many of
the best cirque artists in
the world: aerial flyers,
acrobats, contortionists,
dancers, jugglers, balancers
and strongmen. These accomplished veterans include world
record holders, gold-medal winners and Olympians. Co-
founders Alex Streltsov and Bill Allen created the concept
of cirque paired with symphony in 1998 in a special PBS
production with the Cincinnati Pops. Streltsov, a circus
veteran from Moscow, is the only aerialist to perform
with the Bolshoi Ballet. Allen’s music and programming
sensibilities combined with Streltsov’s performance
background to create programs with three dimensional
visual and musical elements. Classical masterpieces are
choreographed to the movements of cirque artists, elevating
cirque artistry to a fine arts level. Cirque de la Symphonie
performs with dozens of orchestras across North America
and beyond each season. Sold-out venues feature a wave
of new faces that includes families, students and young
professionals, many witnessing a live orchestra for the first
time. (www.cirquedelasymphonie.com)
CANTUS, Vocal Ensemble
Cantus’s repertoire includes
chant, Renaissance music,
contemporary works, art
song, folk, spirituals, world
music, and pop. The 2010-
11 Artist-in-Residence at
Minnesota Public Radio, the
group consistently sells out
performances in the Twin
Cities. Its original production
of All is Calm, the story of the
famous WWI Christmas Truce
of 1914 is a holiday favorite.
Cantus recently collaborated with the Saint Paul Chamber
Orchestra to premiere a work by Nico Muhly. The two ensembles
have also presented Kurt Weill’s Seven Deadly Sins as well as
Schubert’s Gesang der Geister über den Wasser.
In addition to North America, Cantus has toured throughout
Canada, West Africa, and Europe. In the United States, it has
appeared at the Library of Congress, Kennedy Center, The
Chautauqua Institution, Merkin Hall, San Francisco Performances,
and Oregon Bach Festival. Cantus has appeared with the
Minnesota Orchestra (once with Bobby McFerrin) and toured a
holiday program with the Boston Pops. Its numerous recordings
have been praised in Stereophile, Gramophone, Classics Today,
and on National Public Radio. Its recording, Cantus, was named
one of NPR’s 10 best for 2007. Cantus is regularly featured on
American Public Media’s Performance Today, and on Christmas
2006 was chosen to represent the United States in a 24-hour
marathon of music broadcast in 27 countries, via American Public
Media and the European Broadcasting Union. Cantus is an active
proponent of music education, working annually with over
10,000 young people throughout the country, including students
from Minnesota schools through its “Cantus in Residence”
program. The group received the 2011 Chorus America Education
Outreach Award. A founder of the Male Choir Commissioning
Consortium, the ensemble has commissioned numerous new
works from composers including Gavin Bryars, Lee Hoiby, Steven
Sametz, Kenneth Jennings, Peter Hamlin, Edie Hill, and Robert
Kyr, utilizing grants from the National Endowment for the Arts,

BRAVO VAIL VALLEY MUSIC FESTIVAL
FINAL REPORT
October 4, 2011
An overview outlining the event’s strengths and weaknesses:
For 24 years, it has been the vision of the Bravo Vail Valley Music Festival to fill the
Vail Valley with programs of variety, integrity, and artistic standards that rival any
national or international music festival. Having grown from a two-week, six-concert
chamber music series, into a six-week season with 80 performances, the Festival is one of
the nation's premier summer music events. The 24th Season featured orchestra, chamber
and pops music from June 25 through August 3, 2010. Performance venues included the
Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater in Vail, where the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, The
Philadelphia Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic each performed 6 concerts. A
free, family concert was performed by the National Repertory Orchestra, and overall
attendance was nearly 60,000. New Artistic Director Anne-Marie McDermott brought
increased focus to themes such as the music of Beethoven and Mahler and a “Night at the
Cotton Club” with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra was a highlight of the season. The
Festival has reported a small surplus each year for 24 years and has built an endowment
with a balance of over $4 million.
2. An event budget showing actual profit and loss numbers and the funding was
utilized:
The 2011 season (end date September 30, 2011) is projected to finish with a small
surplus. The ROI to the Town of Vail, in hard dollars, is projected to be about
$7,140,000 against an investment of $175,500.
3. A detailed overview of the marketing that was implemented to promote the
event.
See attached 2011 Marketing Plan
4. An explanation as to how participants and/or attendees were directed to book
lodging. Please include an estimated number of room nights booked in association
with your event.
Concert attendees were directed to book lodging through the ticketing agents on the
phone and they were directed to book lodging from the Bravo web site. The ticket
brochure (print run of 15,000) directed customers to partner lodges. Web links directly
took attendees to sites to book lodging.

6). Potential for growth and the development of sponsorships and media exposure
The Festival has demonstrated sustained growth and stability over 24 years at an
approximate annual increase rate of 10%. Potential new events for the 25th Anniversary
season are being developed now and a dedicated staff member has been hired to focus and
expand on sponsorships and partnerships. Social media such as twitter, facebook, 4quare,
and tumblr and being actively used to promote the events. Live streaming of performances
is being researched as to feasibility and cost.
7) Did the event impact Vail’s “Sense of Community.”
Over the past 24 seasons, the Bravo Festival has become the highlight of the summer
in Vail, allowing residents, families, guests and visitors alike to gather and experience the
power of music to bring people together. Children 12 and under are free at GRFA
performances, and two different levels of lawn pass allow “locals” to attend for a price as
low as $8 per concert. “Vail wouldn’t be Vail without Bravo” is a comment often heard and
local residents and businesses take great pride in being a part of the Festival. Over $3
million in donated goods and services testifies to the importance of the Festival as part of the
Vail community.
During the 2011 season, the Festival brought to more than 500 performing artists
and their families to Vail including three professional orchestras: The New York
Philharmonic, The Philadelphia Orchestra and The Dallas Symphony Orchestra. A total of 9
conductors, 15 concerto artists, and 45 orchestral support staff accompany these orchestras.
Approximately 550 family members and guests travel with the musicians.
In order to provide a premier resort experience for guests and citizens, the Festival
continues to present artists and orchestras at the highest international level. The Bravo
Festival is the only summer music festival in the country to host two Tier I orchestras and
thus, helps to set the Town of Vail apart from other mountain resorts. Since the Festival is an
important draw for vacationers and day visitors to the region, it is a vital part of the summer
economy in the Vail Valley. Approximately 79 percent of vacationers surveyed reported that
Bravo was an important influence on their decision to visit the Vail Valley; 80 percent said
that it would influence their decision to return. Encouraging return visitors as well as new
visitors is an important part of making the Town of Vail a year-round destination.
8. A superior level of environmentally-sensitive services
The Bravo Festival is committed to operating the Festival with a minimal
environmental impact. In 2011, Bravo increased its efforts to be more environmentally
sensitive. All Festival collateral including ticket brochures, pocket calendars, primers,
posters and program books are printed on recycled paper thus continuing Bravo!’s efforts in
creating a “green Vail.” The 2011 Season design reflects on the relationship between music
and nature. Tips on living a more environmentally-sensitive lifestyle are placed throughout
the Program Book. All patrons, subscribers and ticket buyers are actively encouraged to use
the website to reduce the demand for printed materials.
The Festival exercises many environmentally sensitive policies year-round. The
Bravo office actively recycles paper, plastic, aluminum and cardboard. Also in 2011, Bravo
leaders took advantage of the opportunity to remodel our new space to make our office
more eco-friendly, thereby reducing our energy use and our carbon footprint. The Bravo
Festival also made its best effort to renovate the new offices using green materials such as
recycled carpet, low emission adhesives, low odor/zero-VOC paints, reclaimed lighting and
materials, and recycled glass, plastic and metal from the original construction as well as
reducing waste by locally recycling all qualifying materials during the demolition
phase. Additionally, Festival concerts are held primarily out of doors during daylight hours,
with very little requirement for HVAC or lighting. Concert goers are encouraged to carpool
and use public transportation.

2011 Direct Economic Impact Results
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY, METHODOLOGY & DATA
Bravo retained BBC Research & Consulting to estimate the direct economic impact created by the
2011 Festival on Eagle County. The Festival and BBC created an intercept survey for both Festival
attendees and orchestra members that was administered at various Bravo concerts at the
Amphitheater, Vail Mountain School, Vilar Performing Arts Center, Cordillera and Gypsum. Both paper
and online surveys were administered with more than 800 surveys completed. Demographics and
spending data from audience and orchestra members were gathered from the survey.
The total direct economic impact that Bravo had on Eagle County includes the direct local spending by
Festival attendees and orchestra members and the associated tax revenue. These estimates do not
include indirect and induced impact from this economic activity and the model includes conservative
estimates of spending. The most critical factors influencing the economic benefit are the number of
attendees; their length of stay; and their food and beverage, lodging, shopping and activities
expenditures.
BBC aggregated personal responses from the surveys and relied on total concert attendance and
orchestra data provided by Bravo. This analysis distinguishes between Festival attendees that live in
the Valley and those that traveled from outside the region and between visitors to Eagle County that
listed Bravo as a primary reason for their visit and those that did not. BBC created an economic impact
model that identifies spending in Eagle County and in individual communities within Eagle County by
audience and orchestra members.
The pages in this presentation highlight results from the survey and the economic impact the Festival
has on the Town of Vail and Eagle County.
