Conductor's Note

By Ian Axness, Assistant Professor of Musical Theatre and Resident Music Director

Brigadoon, the first major collaboration between lyricist Alan Jay Lerner and composer Frederick Loewe, opened March 13, 1947 on Broadway — less than two years after the end of World War II. The musical tale of two Americans adventuring overseas captivated audiences with a lush, tuneful score and a spectacular staging of dances by Agnes de Mille, the choreographer of 1943’s groundbreaking Oklahoma! Working alongside de Mille was pianist and composer Trude Rittman, one of the great arrangers of American musical theatre. Though many of her contributions were uncredited, she built a career tailoring music to the exact collaborative specifications of numerous Broadway shows by Loewe, Kurt Weill, Harold Rome, Burton Lane and Richard Rodgers. As part of this concert production with CCM Philharmonia, we celebrate Ms. Rittman’s extensive contributions to the musical theatre repertoire and will perform her orchestral dance arrangements in their entirety.

“Miracles require faith,” we are told in the first act of Brigadoon, and I would argue that producing musical theatre in 2026 is a miracle. Epic tales of love and loss, comedy and destiny, merry townsfolk and outsiders — all of this requires faith in our collective will to work together. We have assembled 94 performers for this production, and there are just as many CCM faculty, staff and students behind the scenes.

I am grateful to guest artist Vernon Hartman for joining our company and bringing his effortless warmth and consummate artistry to the role of Mr. Lundie; and to colleagues Mark Gibson, Aik Khai Pung and Kevin Holzman for helping facilitate this unique collaboration between CCM Philharmonia and CCM Musical Theatre. I am especially grateful for the partnership and indefatigable creative work from faculty, staff and students in CCM Theatre Design and Production.

Most of all, however, I am grateful to work with director Eric Byrd. His assured creative leadership has elevated this concert production to the highest professional standards of preparation, process and performance. Along with choreographer Brandon Kelly, Eric has guided our collective excursion to Brigadoon with wit and inspiration, and shaped an extraordinary experience for the entire company.

Thank you for being at CCM and enjoy the show!

House Policies

The House Manager has been instructed to minimize the disturbance to patrons already seated when accommodating latecomers. The director and producer of each production select times that are least likely to interrupt the performance, and latecomers will be seated only during these times. Latecomers who miss these opportunities will not be admitted until intermission. Children under the age of 6 will not be admitted.


Cameras, Phones and Recording Devices

The video or audio recording of performances is prohibited.

The use of cameras, with or without flashes, recording devices, cellular phones and other electronic devices inside the theater is prohibited.


Smoking and Refreshments

Smoking and refreshments are not permitted in the theater. Effective May 1, 2017, smoking and tobacco use (including chewing tobacco and electronic cigarettes) shall be prohibited by students, staff, faculty, visitors, vendors and contractors at all times in or on University of Cincinnati properties, including events on university property during non-school hours. This includes all shelters, indoor and outdoor theaters and athletic facilities, bridges, walkways, sidewalks, residence halls, parking lots, and street parking and garages owned by the university.
