Blossom
Summer Home of The Cleveland Orchestra OPENED IN 1968 as the summer home
of The Cleveland Orchestra, Blossom Music Center is located just north of Akron, Ohio, and about 25 miles south of Cleveland. Blossom is situated on rolling hills surrounded by the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, which protects 34,000 acres along the Cuyahoga River between Akron and Cleveland. Blossom lies within the city limits of Cuyahoga Falls, an Ohio community celebrating its bicentennial this year. Blossom was planned and built between 1966 and 1968 by the Musical Arts Association n of The Cleve(the non-profit parent organization land Orchestra) at a total cost of approximately $8 million.

THE BLOSSOM GROUNDS
PHOTOGRAPH BY PETER HASTINGS
Act project funded by the State of Ohio. The first Blossom season in 1968 consisted of six weeks of performances by The Cleveland Orchestra, gaining enthusiastic reviews for the Orchestra and its new summer home from critics throughout the country. The schedule expanded in subsequent seasons to feature the Blossom Festival of orchestral and band music from the Fourth of July to Labor Day weekend alongside a summer-long season of concerts devoted to rock, jazz, country, and other popular music presentations. Live Nation operates Blossom, and books and promotes each season’s non-orchestral attractions.
At the Blossom groundbreaking on July 2, 1967, from left in foreground are Frank Joseph (then president of the Musical Arts Association), Elizabeth Bingham Blossom (Mrs. Dudley Sr.), Benjamin Gale (Blossom grandson), Betsy Blossom (youngest Blossom grandchild), and Charles Bingham Blossom (Blossom grandson).
At the heart of Blossom is the Blossom Pavilion, situated at the base of a natural bowl. The architect for this award-winning structure, widely celebrated for its distinctive architecture and superb acoustical qualities, was Peter van Dijk, who also served as architect for the Blossom Redevelopment Project. The seating capacity of the Pavilion is now 5,700, and another 13,500 patrons can be accommodated on the expansive hillside lawn seating area. Surrounding the Pavilion, the Blossom grounds encompass a number of other unique facilities. Near the Main Entrance from Steels Corners Road is Porthouse Theatre. Here summer theatrical productions are presented by the Porthouse Theatre Company, a professional repertory company affiliated with Kent State University under the Kent/Blossom Theatre program. In addition to the Blossom Pavilion, the main grounds include the Bandwagon Gift Shop, the Blossom Grille (open before and after each Festival concert), the Knight Grove (a party center accommodating groups of 25 to 450), and Eells Gallery, which is used by the Kent/Blossom Art program to exhibit works by regional and national artists. Three landscaped gardens also are located on the main grounds. The 'SBOL & +PTFQI (BSEFO was named in honor of the president of the Musical Arts Association at the time of Blossom’s construction and opening. &NJMZ T (BSEFO was opened in 1992 to commemorate Emily (Mrs. Dudley S. Jr.) Blossom’s many contributions to Blossom Music Center. New in 2003 was the addition of the )FSCFSU & 4USBXCSJEHF (BSEFO, named in memory of Musical Arts Association trustee and civic leader Herb Strawbridge.

well as the design of the Herbert E. Strawbridge Garden, are by Michael Van Valkenburgh. PARTNERING WITH CUYAHOGA VALLEY NATIONAL PARK
Over the past several years, the Musical Arts Association worked with the Trust for Public Land (TPL) to conserve more than 500 acres of Blossom Music Center land into Cuyahoga Valley National Park through a sale funded by the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund. This transfer helps protect the park experience for concertgoers at Blossom, conserves the land for preservation, and provides one-time funding for the Orchestra. This sale of Blossom Music Center land now connects over 5,000 acres of forest ecosystems within the park. “Protecting this vital landscape is a big benefit to the Park,” says Stan Austin, superintendent of Cuyahoga Valley National Park. “The acquired lands now become a part of the largest forested block in the Park. This land is extremely valuable because it helps sustain critical woodland species and protects several watersheds. We greatly appreciate the Musical Arts Association’s interest in selling the land for this mutually beneficial project.” LEARN MORE ABOUT CUYAHOGA VALLEY NATIONAL PARK The Cleveland Orchestra thanks the Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) and the Conservancy for CVNP for being our Blossom Community Partners. CVNP combines cultural, historical, recreational, and natural activities in one setting. For more information about the Conservancy and its membership program, visit cvnpa.org or call 330-657-2909.

of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst, The Cleveland Orchestra has become Northeast Ohio’s most visible international ambassador and one of the most sought-after performing ensembles in the world. In concerts at its winter home at Severance Hall and at each summer’s Blossom Festival, in residencies from Miami to Vienna, and on tour around the world, The Cleveland Orchestra sets standards of artistic excellence, creative programming, and community engagement. With the 2012-13 season, Franz Welser-Möst enters his eleventh year leading the ensemble, with a commitment extending to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018. This artistic partnership continues to move the ensemble forward through a series of new and ongoing initiatives, including: the establishment of residencies around the world, fostering creative artistic growth and an expanded financial base, including an ongoing residency at Vienna’s Musikverein (the first of its kind by an American orchestra); an annual residency in Florida under the name Cleveland Orchestra Miami, involving multiple weeks of concerts, community activities, and educational presentations based on programs developed at home in Northeast Ohio; additional new residencies at New York’s Lincoln Center Festival and at Indiana University;

The Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918 by a group of local citizens intent on creating an ensemble worthy of joining America’s ranks of major symphony orchestras. Over the ensuing decades, the Orchestra quickly grew from a fine regional organization to being one of the most admired symphony orchestras in the world. The opening of Severance Hall as the Orchestra’s home in 1931 brought a special pride to the ensemble and its hometown, as well as providing an enviable and intimate acoustic environment in which to develop and refine the Orchestra’s artistry. Year-round performances became a reality in 1968 with the opening of Blossom Music Center, one of the most beautiful and acoustically admired outdoor concert facilities in the United States. Blossom and Severance Hall have undergone major renovations, renewing their acclaim among the world’s most-acclaimed concert facilities.

Franz Welser-MĂśst Music Director Kelvin Smith Family Endowed Chair The Cleveland Orchestra
marks Franz Welser-MÜst’s eleventh year as Music Director of The Cleveland Orchestra, with a long-term commitment extending to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018. Under his direction, the Orchestra is acclaimed for its continuing artistic excellence, is presented in a series of ongoing residencies in the United States and Europe, continues its championship of new composers through commissions and premieres, and is committed to performing more music for more people throughout Northeast Ohio. Concurrently with his Cleveland post, Mr. Welser-MÜst is General Music Director of the Vienna State Opera. Under Mr. Welser-MÜst’s leadership, The Cleveland Orchestra has launched a series of residencies in important cultural locations around the world. These include residencies at Vienna’s Musikverein and Switzerland’s Lucerne Festival, as well as programs at New York’s Lincoln Center Festival and at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music. The Orchestra’s annual residency in Miami, under the name Cleveland Orchestra Miami, features multiple weeks of concerts coupled with community activities (modeled on the Orchestra’s long-term educational programs in Northeast Ohio) with more than a dozen partnerships across MiamiDade organizations and educational institutions. In addition to his post as General Music Director of the Vienna State Opera, Mr. Welser-MÜst maintains an ongoing relationship with the Vienna Philharmonic, where his recent performances have included appearances at the Lucerne Festival and Salzburg Festival, in Tokyo, and in concert at Teatro alla Scala in Milan. He led the Philharmonic’s annual New Year’s concert in 2011, telecast worldwide, and has been invited to conduct it again in 2013. Across a decadelong tenure with the Zurich Opera, culminating in three seasons as General Music Director (2005-08), he led the company in more than 40 new productions. Mr. Welser-MÜst’s recordings and videos have won international awards and and acclaim. He has led The Cleveland Orchestra in video recordings of live performances of Bruckner Symphonies Nos. 5, 7, 8, and 9. Together they have released recordings of Wagner’s 8FTFOEPODL 4POHT (with soprano Measha Brueggergosman) and Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. For his talents and dedication, Mr. Welser-MÜst has received honors that include recognition from the Western Law Center for Disability Rights, honorary membership in the Vienna Singverein, appointment as an Academician of the European Academy of Yuste, a Decoration of Honor from the Republic of Austria for his artistic achievements, and the Kilenyi Medal from the Bruckner Society of America. He is the co-author of $BEFODFT 0CTFSWBUJPOT BOE $POWFSTBUJPOT, published in a German edition in 2007. P H OTO BY D O N S NYD E R

In the event of rain, Lawn/General Admission tickets will allow you access to the general admission sections of the Pavilion, available on a first-come, first-served basis. CURTAIN TIME Every effort is made to begin concerts on time. On occasion, traffic or other conditions may force a delay of five to ten minutes. The dimming of lights in the Blossom Pavilion and the entrance of the Concertmaster onto the stage for the tuning of the Orchestra usually signal the imminent start of each concert. ARRIVING LATE, LEAVING EARLY If you have tickets for Pavilion seating and you arrive after the performance has begun, please see an usher at the Pavilion entrance and wait to be seated at an appropriate pause between movements or pieces. Lawn patrons can find a spot on the Lawn at any time. However, please be courteous to fellow patrons who are already enjoying the concert and do not create an unnecessary disturbance. If you need to leave before the concert ends, please do so only between pieces in order not to disturb the performers or other patrons.

El Sistema@Rainey performing at Severance Hall. The initiative is an intensive after-school orchestral music program launched in September 2011 by Cleveland Orchestra violinist Isabel Trautwein and Cleveland’s Rainey Institute. Modeled after the national Venezuelan program El Sistema (“the system”), the initiative emphasizes community-based orchestra training from a young age, with a focus on making music fun and inspiring young musicians with a passion for music and for life. The Cleveland Orchestra and education partner Conn-Selmer are the official providers of Scherl & Roth violins for the El Sistema@ Rainey program, with instrument support from Royalton Music for El Sistema@Rainey Summer Camp.
The Cleveland Orchestra helps celebrate the seasons and special events throughout the year. Above, the Orchestra’s horn section got into the Halloween spirit for a special fun-filled Family Concert.

When did you begin attending Cleveland Orchestra concerts? Dick and I have lived in the area for over three decades and have been attending concerts for most of those years. Tell us about your Blossom Festival experience. Dick and I have so many wonderful memories of Blossom. Living in Hudson and only 20 minutes from Blossom, our summer revolves around the lyrical weekend evenings at Blossom Music Center. Sitting on the Lawn with a glass of wine under the stars is our idea of a perfect date! Meeting members of The Cleveland Orchestra at the summer Gourmet Matinee Luncheons and the Orchestra Picnic sponsored by the Blossom Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Committee have also been special treats. Why did you and Dick join the Heritage Society? It is a very special privilege to have The Cleveland Orchestra so readily accessible and convenient to attend. It is for these reasons that we made a decision to include the Orchestra in our estate planning several years ago. Leaving a legacy for future generations to enjoy this music and the musicians to carry on the music is something we are happy we can do.

Legacy Giving
THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA
H E R I TAGE S O C I ET Y The Heritage Society was established in 1994 to honor those who remember The Cleveland Orchestra through a planned gift such as a bequest, charitable trust or gift annuity. Outright gifts to the endowment may also qualify for membership. The lotus blossom pictured on the right is the symbol of The Heritage Society. Representing eternal life, the lotus was said to be Elisabeth Severanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite flower. Elisabeth, wife of John Long Severance, passed away before the completion of Severance Hall. The lotus motif was subsequently placed in nearly every public area of Severance Hall. A sterling silver lotus pin is presented to every Heritage Society member in recognition of the legacy they are creating for generations to come.
Please join Nancy & Dick Dotson as members of the Heritage Society Simply complete and return the attached card or contact Timothy Mann, Director, Leadership Development, by phone at 216-231-7438 or send email to tmann@clevelandorchestra.com. Or visit us online at our Legacy Giving pages at XXX DMFWFMBOEPSDIFTUSB DPN. Thank you for your support of The Cleveland Orchestra and the Blossom Festival.
