La ópera de Alban Berg, estrenada en diciembre de 1925, relata una historia real, la del soldado Johann Christian Woyzeck. Un drama de denuncia social y tintes psico-médicos que inspiró a Karl Georg Büchner para escribir, hacia 1836, la que se considera primera tragedia expresionista en lengua alemana, a pesar de haber quedado inconclusa y sin un orden claro en las escenas.

James Gaffigan was another conductor who I had not met previously yet we seemed to get on with each other immediately. An episode with a lot of laughter and a lot of food for thought! I discovered who was the first person to make him cry as an adult, we debated how orchestras used to sound compared to today and why things have changed, and we laugh a lot about our experiences accompanying certain types of soloists!

James Gaffigan is al sinds 2011 de vaste gastdirigent van het Radio Filharmonisch Orkest. Om meer over hem te weten te komen, gaat Hans Haffmans te rade bij Nadia Wijzenbeek, concertmeester bij het Radio Filharmonisch Orkest. Zij kent hem van dichtbij sinds 2014 – daarvoor speelde zij in de Radio Kamer Filharmonie. Hoe klein van stuk Gaffigan ook moge zijn, soms is het alsof hij dansend van de bok opstijgt, en daarbij iedereen meeneemt. Dat kan gebeuren als hij opera's als Rusalka of Rigoletto dirigeert, maar net zo goed bij premières van voor hem minder bekende Nederlandse componisten zoals Jeths, Zuidam en Padding. Volgens Wijzenbeek “staat hij er absoluut, maar staat hij nooit in de weg”. Hij neemt iedere partituur even serieus, is een gedreven en zelfs veeleisend man. Zijn kracht is dat hij “in zijn hoofd ongelofelijk snel is, en iedereen een stapje vóór”; zijn concentratie is volledig. Hij kan via zijn grootse techniek laten zien wat hij wil, ook in nieuwe muziek. Wijzenbeek: “je kunt niet anders dan met hem meegaan”. Maar hij is wel een ‘moderne maestro': hij gaat opvallend persoonlijk met het orkest om, gebruikt goed zijn voelsprieten, kan af en toe zelfs bescheiden overkomen. Bij de repetities verstaat hij de kunst moeilijke passages speelbaar te maken. En het klikt, tussen het orkest hem. James Gaffigan is niet voor niets al zo lang vaste gastdirigent.

James Gaffigan, praised for his "exemplary, full-blooded conducting" (Chicago Classical Review), leads the CSO in Shostakovich's rarely heard Eighth Symphony, a profound work that represents the composer's yearning for peace. The CSO's own Cynthia Yeh gives the U.S. premiere of Israeli-born composer Avner Dorman's percussion concerto, which he calls "a celebration of life, energy and an ever-present and eternal rhythm."

Jarrett has performed with a number of different high-level ensembles, including the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, the Flint Symphony Orchestra, the Windsor Symphony Orchestra, and has also performed as Acting Principal Tuba with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra and the National Arts Centre Orchestra.
