With programs like this, Carneiro smartly extends the legacy of Kent Nagano, the conductor who led the Berkeley Symphony for three decades, from 1978 through the end of the 2008-09 season. Nagano, now based in Munich, established Berkeley as a place where classic and new compositions are routinely paired — as a laboratory, in other words. Stepping into his shoes — she was chosen from a field of six finalists — Carneiro has begun to leave her own mark on the orchestra. Her programming and poise on the podium are such that ticket sales increased during the 2009-10 season, her first as music director, by 13 percent. Subscription sales have risen to a 15-year high. Those figures need to be kept in perspective. Like many regional orchestras, the Berkeley Symphony — which operates on a lean $1.1 million budget — works hard to keep its footing. It offers only four subscription concerts per season, and Zellerbach Hall is rarely more than three-quarters full for its programs. Still, building ticket sales amid a recession speaks well for Carneiro: “Joana is energizing our base,” says James A. Kleinmann, the orchestra’s executive director. “And I believe she is now energizing a new audience.” And her musicians.

Some people find that good music helps to counter insomnia. An early (1802) Bach biographer recounts that Bach was invited to compose the “Goldberg Variations” (which came to be named for the young harpsichordist who first played them) for an aristocrat who suffered sleepless nights. As a remedy, he would ask his in-house harpsichordist to play this lengthy piece in the form of an aria and 30 variations. The variation form had previously been avoided by Bach as too repetitive. According to a biographer, Bach was rewarded for the Variations by the aristocrat, Count Kaiserling (a former Russian ambassador to the Court of Saxony), with a golden goblet containing 100 gold coins. Later biographers have questioned the authenticity of the story. At the time of the composition, Goldberg was only 14. But musicians ever since have revered these extraordinary variations. Beatrice — pronounced Bee-ah-TREE-chay — Rana is one of the former child prodigies who have demonstrated the great pianistic skills that can be achieved at an early age.
