Welcome to Our Summer Home! It was in July 1968 that The Cleveland Orchestra opened its jrst Blossom season. Today, as Blossom’s 48th season unfolds, it’s possible that at least a few of you in the audience were here for that inaugural performance, featuring Beethoven’s momentous Ninth Symphony. Your love of Blossom, and that of succeeding generations, has sustained this wonderful venue over the decades and in doing so, sustained The Cleveland Orchestra as one of the world’s greatest. The Orchestra’s Home in Summit County. Blossom was created by visionary leaders of the Musical Arts Association so that The Cleveland Orchestra, by the time of its 50th anniversary, could provide year-round employment for its musicians — and year-round music to our region. As we approach the Orchestra’s 100th anniversary, Blossom has done that and so much more. From the beginning, Blossom has brought together music-lovers from Cleveland, Akron, and communities across Northeast Ohio and beyond. Blossom was attracting visitors from near and far well before the National Park’s popular Towpath, hiking trails, and many picturesque destinations. Today, Blossom remains one of the Park’s many great attractions. Classical Music and More. Blossom has long been the beloved home of classical music and classic rock, plus country, pop, Broadway, and virtually every type of music under the stars. And for each and every genre, Blossom can take credit for developing new and passionate audiences here in Northeast Ohio. The initiatives that have driven The Cleveland Orchestra’s recent and widely-hailed success attracting young audiences began here, at Blossom, in the summer of 2011. Today, 20% of Orchestra audiences at Severance Hall and at Blossom are age 25 and under, a record that is the envy of orchestras everywhere. Further, it’s no exaggeration to say that Cleveland’s growing program of orchestral residencies is rooted here in Summit County. Building on the ten weeks The Cleveland Orchestra is resident each summer at Blossom, we now are privileged to have an annual residency in Miami, and regular week-long residencies in Vienna, with Indiana University, and as part of New York’s Lincoln Center Festival — as well as our growing program of local neighborhood residencies. Like Blossom, each attracts new audiences and each contributes to the vitality of the Orchestra. Memorable Experiences. Do you remember your jrst Blossom concert? Mine was on May 25, 1988, when blues guitar legend Stevie Ray Vaughan appeared along with Robert Plant and Double Trouble. For me, it was a rare but revealing visit to Blossom for the rock and roll concerts so many enjoy here. It’s true that since then (notwithstanding regular Jimmy Buffett outings), my Blossom experience comprises little more than the full list of wonderful Cleveland Orchestra programs. But one simple truth has been abundantly clear: BLOSSOM IS FOR EVERYONE . Whether this is your jrst Blossom Music Festival experience, or a beloved summer tradition, welcome, and thank you for joining us.

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 33,000 acres along the Cuyahoga River between Akron and Cleveland. Blossom lies within the city limits of Cuyahoga Falls, an Ohio community founded two-hundred years ago. Blossom was planned and built between 1966 and 1968 by the Musical Arts Association (the non-profit parent organization of The Cleveland Orchestra) at a total cost of approximately $8 million. The Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name honors the Dudley S. Blossom family, major supporters of The Cleveland Orchestra throughout its history. (Mr. Blossom served as president of the Musical Arts Association 1936-38. His son, Dudley Jr., served as a trustee 1946-61.) In 2002, Blossom Music Center underwent the first major capital improvements project in the history of the facility, which serves 400,000 visitors each summer. The Blossom Redevelopment Project featured a major renovation of the facility and enhancement of patron amenities, and was completed prior to the beginning of the 2003 Blossom Festival. Additional upgrading has continued since that time, including major accessibility work within an ongoing Americans with Disabilities Act project generously funded by the State of Ohio. With initial phases completed in 2013, this has included the construction of new restrooms and walkways, and the introduction of new trams. 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 summerlong season of concerts devoted to rock, jazz, country, and other popular music Blossom Music Festival

At the heart of Blossom is the Blossom Pavilion, situated at the base of a natural bowl. The design architect for this award-winning structure, widely celebrated for its distinctive architecture and superb acoustical qualities, was Peter van Dijk, who also served as At the Blossom groundbreaking on July 2, 1967, from left architect for the Blossom Redevelopin foreground are Frank Joseph (then president of the ment Project in 2002-03 and continues Musical Arts Association), Elizabeth Bingham Blossom (Mrs. Dudley Sr.), Benjamin Gale (Blossom grandson), to help direct Blossom upgrades and Betsy Blossom (youngest Blossom grandchild), and changes. The seating capacity of the Charles Bingham Blossom (Blossom grandson). Pavilion is now 5,470 — 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 Frank E. Joseph Garden was named in honor of the president of the Musical Arts Association at the time of Blossom’s construction and opening. Emily’s Garden 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 Herbert E. Strawbridge Garden, named in memory of Musical Arts Association trustee and civic leader Herb Strawbridge. The Blossom Redevelopment Project redesign of Emily’s Garden, as well as the design of the Herbert E. Strawbridge Garden, are by Michael Van Valkenburgh.

A S I T N E A R S T H E C E N T E N N I A L of its founding in 2018, The Cleveland Orchestra is undergoing a new transformation and renaissance. Under the leadership of Franz Welser-Möst, entering his fourteenth year as the ensemble’s music director with the upcoming 2015-16 season, The Cleveland Orchestra is acknowledged among the world’s handful of best orchestras. With Welser-Möst, the ensemble’s musicians, board of directors, staff, volunteers, and hometown are working together on a set of enhanced goals for the 21st century — to continue the Orchestra’s legendary command of musical excellence, to renew its focus on fully serving the communities where it performs through concerts, engagement, and music education, to develop the youngest audience of any orchestra, to build on its tradition of community support and financial strength, and to move forward into the Orchestra’s next century with an unshakeable commitment to innovation and a fearless pursuit of success. The Cleveland Orchestra divides its time each year across concert seasons at home in Cleveland’s Severance Hall and each summer at Blossom Music Center. Additional portions of the year are devoted to touring and to a series of innovative and intensive performance residencies. These include an annual set of concerts and education programs and partnerships in Florida, a recurring residency at Vienna’s Musikverein, and regular appearances at Switzerland’s Lucerne Festival, at New Y York’s Lincoln Center Festival, and at Indiana University. Each year since 1989, The Cleveland Orchestra Musical Excellence. The Cleveland Orchestra has presented a free concert in downtown Cleveland. The 26th free performance downhas long been committed to the pursuit of musical town was planned for July 1 this summer in excellence in everything that it does. The Orchestra’s partnership with Cuyahoga Arts & Culture, ongoing collaboration with Welser-Möst is widelykicking off celebrations throughout the region of America’s 239th birthday. acknowledged among the best orchestra-conductor partnerships of today. Performances of standard repertoire and new works are unrivalled at home, in residencies around the globe, on tour across North America and Europe, and through recordings, telecasts, and radio and internet broadcasts. Its longstanding championship of new composers and commissioning of new works helps audiences experience music as a living language that grows and evolves with each new generation. Recent performances with Baroque specialists, recording projects of varying repertoire and in different locations, fruitful re-examinations and juxtapositions of the standard repertoire,

The Cleveland Orchestra

and acclaimed collaborations in 20th and 21st century masterworks together enable The Cleveland Orchestra the ability to give musical performances second to none in the world. Serving the Community. Programs for students and community engagement activities have long been part of the Orchestra’s commitment to serving Cleveland and surrounding communities, and have more recently been extended to its touring and residencies. All are designed to connect peoFranz Welser-Möst ple to music in the concert hall, in classrooms, and in everyday lives. Recent seasons have seen the launch of a unique “At Home” neighborhood residency program, designed to bring the Orchestra and citizens together in new ways. Additionally, a new Make Music! initiative is being developed, championed by Franz Welser-Möst in advocacy for the benefits of direct participation in making music for people of all ages. Future Audiences. Standing on the shoulders of more than nine decades of presenting quality music education programs, the Orchestra made national and international headlines through the creation of its Center for Future Audiences in 2010. Established with a significant endowment gift from the Maltz Family Foundation, the Center is designed to provide ongoing funding for the Orchestra’s continuing

work to develop interest in classical music among young people. The flagship “Under 18s Free” program has seen unparalleled success in increasing attendance and interest — with 20% of attendees now comprised of concertgoers aged 25 and under. Innovative Programming. The Cleveland Orchestra was among the first American orchestras heard on a regular series of radio broadcasts, and its Severance Hall home was one of the first concert halls in the world built with recording and broadcasting capabilities. Today, Cleveland Orchestra concerts are presented in a variety of formats for a variety of audiences — including popular Friday night concerts (mixing onstage symphonic works with post-concert entertainment), film scores performed live by the Orchestra, collaborations with pop and jazz singers, ballet and opera presentations, and standard repertoire juxtaposed in meaningful contexts with new and older works. Franz Welser-Möst’s creative vision has given the Orchestra an unequaled opportunity to explore music as a universal language of communication and understanding. An Enduring Tradition of Community Support. The Cleveland Orchestra was born in Cleveland, created by a group of visionary citizens who believed in the power of music and aspired to having the best performances of great orchestral music possible anywhere. Generations of Clevelanders have supported this vision and enjoyed the Orchestra’s concerts. Hundreds of thousands have learned to love music through its education programs and celebrated important events with its music. While strong ticket sales cover just under half of each season’s costs, it is the

generosity of thousands each year that drives the Orchestra forward and sustains its extraordinary tradition of excellence onstage, in the classroom, and for the community. Evolving Greatness. The Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918. 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. Seven music directors have guided and shaped the ensemble’s growth and sound: Nikolai Sokoloff, 1918-33; Artur Rodzinski, 1933-43; Erich Leinsdorf, 194346; George Szell, 1946-70; Lorin Maazel, 1972-82; Christoph von Dohnányi, 19842002; and Franz Welser-Möst, since 2002. The opening in 1931 of Severance Hall as the Orchestra’s permanent home, with later acoustic refinements and remodeling of the hall under Szell’s guidance, 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. Touring performances throughout the United States and, beginning in 1957, to Europe and across the globe have confirmed Cleveland’s place among the world’s top orchestras. 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. Today, concert performances, community presentations, touring residencies, broadcasts, and recordings provide access to the Orchestra’s acclaimed artistry to an enthusiastic, generous, and broad constituency around the world.

seating — but please keep in mind that how you sit can obstruct others’ views. Many patrons prefer lying back on a blanket and listening to music under the big summer sky, while others prefer to bring chairs to watch the evening’s activities.

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, you will be asked to wait quietly until the first break between musical selections in the performance, when ushers will guide you to your seats. 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,

gifts during the past year, as of June 10, 2015

$10 MILLION AND MORE

In celebration of the critical role individuals play in supporting The Cleveland Orchestra each year, donors of $2,500 and more are recognized as members of special Leadership Giving Societies. These societies are named to honor important and inspirational leaders in the Orchestra’s history. The Adella Prentiss Hughes Society honors the Orchestra’s founder and first manager, who from 1918 envisioned an ensemble dedicated to community service, music education, and performing excellence. The George Szell Society is named after the Orchestra’s fourth music director, who served for twenty-four seasons (1946-70) while refining the ensemble’s international reputation for clarity of sound and unsurpassed musical excellence. The Elisabeth DeWitt Severance Society honors not only the woman in whose memory Severance Hall was built, but her selfless sharing, including her insistence on nurturing an orchestra not just for the wealthy but for everyone. The Dudley S. Blossom Society honors one of the Orchestra’s early and most generous benefactors, whose dedication and charm rallied thousands to support and nurture a hometown orchestra toward greatness. The Frank H. Ginn Society honors the man whose judicious management of Severance Hall’s finances and construction created a beautiful and welcoming home for Cleveland’s Orchestra. The 1929 Society honors the vibrant community spirit that propelled 3,000 volunteers and donors to raise over $2 million in a nine-day campaign in April 1929 to meet and match John and Elisabeth Severance’s challenge gift toward the building of the Orchestra’s new concert hall.

2015 Blossom Festival

Building Audiences for the Future . . . Today! The Cleveland Orchestra is committed to developing interest in classical music among young people. To demonstrate our succ cess, we are working to have the youngest audience of any orchestra. With the help of generous contributors, the Orchestra has expanded its discounted ticket offerings through several new programs. In recent years, student attendance has nearly doubled, now representing over 20% of those at Cleveland Orchestra concerts. Since inaugurating these programs in 2011, over 130,000 young people have participated. U N D E R 1 8 s F R E E FO R FA Mi LI ES

Introduced for Blossom Music Festival concerts in 2011, our Under 18s Free program for families now includes select Cleveland Orchestra concerts at Severance Hall each season. This program off fers free tickets (one per regular-priced adult paid admission) to young people ages 7-17 on the Lawn at Blossom and to the Orchestra’s Fridays@7, Friday Morning at 11, and Sunday Afternoon at 3 concerts at Severance. STUDENT TICKET PROGRAMS

In the past three seasons, The Cleveland Orchestra’s Student Advantage

Blossom Festival 2015

Members, Frequent Fan Card holders, Student Ambassadors, and special offers for student groups attending together have been responsible for bringing more high school and college age students to Severance Hall and Blossom than ever before. The Orchestra’s ongoing Student Advantage Program provides opportunities for students to attend concerts at Severance Hall and Blossom through discounted ticket offers. Membership is free to join and rewards members with discounted ticket purchases. A record 7,000 students joined in the past year. A new Student Frequent Fan Card is available in conjunction with Student Advantage membership, offering unlimited single tickets (one per Fan Card holder) all season long. All of these programs are supported by The Cleveland Orchestra’s Center for Future Audiences and the Alexander and Sarah Cutler Fund for Student Audiences. The Center for Future Audiences was created with a $20 million lead endowment gift from the Maltz Family Foundation to develop new generations of audiences for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio.

Building Future Audiences

Kent/Blossom Arts Festivals SINCE THE OPENING

of Blossom Music Center as the summer home of The Cleveland Orchestra in 1968, Kent State University has participated in helping to develop Blossom’s role as a center for professional training in the visual and performing arts. Each summer, the Kent/Blossom arts festivals bring together some 300 young professionals in art, music, and theater, and a resident faculty of 80 (including Kent State faculty, members of The Cleveland Orchestra, and major international artists). Through the production of more than 100 concerts, performances, exhibitions, and lectures, their creative experiences are shared with an audience of nearly 30,000 each year. Over the past four decades, Kent/Blossom has involved over 10,000 students from throughout the United States and abroad. An evolving faculty roster of 700 visiting artists has joined with 60 members of The Cleveland Orchestra and 120 members of the Kent State University faculty. More than 850,000 people have attended over 4,000 public events in the disciplines of music, visual arts, and theater. Kent/Blossom alumni are now associated with some 400 professional arts organizations worldwide. These include the orchestras of Berlin, Boston, Cleveland, New York, and Vienna; the Metropolitan, Houston, and La Scala opera companies; art museums in New York, San Francisco, Mexico City, and Paris; and dozens of major theaters (including the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis and Washington D.C.’s Kennedy Center) and touring dramatic companies.

The program, titled Violins of Hope, centers around a unique group of violins that were witness to humanity’s perseverance in the face of incomprehensible darkness during the Holocaust in Nazi Germany. Noted Israeli master violinmaker Amnon Weinstein has restored and collected a group of invaluable instruments, which will be brought to Cleveland in fall 2015 to provide unprecedented educational, cultural, and personal experiences. Played before and during the Holocaust, the instruments have been painstakingly restored and serve as testaments to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of music to lift hearts in even the most horrific fi of circumstances. The full collection includes more than 45 Holocaust-era violins, some with the Star of David on the back and others with names and dates inscribed within the instrument. The violins have been played in concerts around the world, most recently by the Berlin Philharmonic earlier this year. “The opportunity to bring these extraordinary instruments to greater Cleveland immediately united organizations and individuals across the region,”” says Richard Bogomolny, Chairman of the Musical Arts Association (the non-profit fi organization that operates The Cleveland Orchestra) and one of the leaders of

VIOLINS OF HOPE the Violins of Hope Cleveland effort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A profound personal story lives within each violin, and together they possess the potential to leave an indelible impact on every person who sees and hears them.â&#x20AC;? Among highlights of Violins of Hope performances and activities in Cleveland are two special concerts. On Sunday, September 27, a Gala Celebration concert takes place with The Cleveland Orchestra under the direction of music director Franz Welser-MĂśst, and featuring violinist Shlomo Mintz as soloist, with some of the Violins of Hope instruments being played. This special event marks the dedication of the newly-renovated Silver Hall, part of Case Western Reserveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Milton and Tamar Maltz Performing Arts Center at The Temple-Tifereth Israel. And on October 14, 2015, the Cleve-

land Institute of Music Orchestra will present a free community concert at Severance Hall invoking the power of music to inspire new generations and bring people together in peace. The Gala concert in September will be telecast live by ideastream (the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nonprofit public media organization that includes WVIZ/PBS, 90.3 WCPN, and WCLV 104.9 Classical), who will also develop a half-hour documentary highlighting Northeast Ohioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experiences with the project as well as individual stories involving the instruments. Following the Gala concert, the instruments of Violins of Hope will be featured in a major exhibition at the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage, running from October 1 through January 3, 2016.

VIOLINS OF HOPE ects for students and the community are also planned. The Cleveland Orchestraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fall education concerts for students will be centered around the Violins of Hope theme in partnership with the non-profit group Facing History and Ourselves who will lead a broad education and engagement effort for grades 7-12 throughout the autumn in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, the schools of the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland, and in suburban districts and private schools across Northeast Ohio. Programs, lectures, films, exhibitions, adult learning sessions, and performances involving faculty and students from Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Institute of Music are also scheduled, with additional events sponsored by a variety of community arts and cultural organizations.

Thanks to the vision and generous support of a group of committed community sponsors, Violins of Hope Cleveland will be a landmark project. This will be only the second time that the violins have been to North America, and the first time that they will be the centerpiece for such a broad spectrum of programming, spanning three months and reaching audiences throughout Northeast Ohio and beyond.
