This evening’s celebration marks a special milestone in Cleveland Orchestra Miami’s history. And we extend our our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has made this evening such a wonderful success, beginning with this organization’s Founders, who had the vision to dream big.

From Dream to Reality Honoring the Founders

More than a decade ago, a group of Miami citizens joined together around a remarkable shared dream — of bringing to Miami one of the best orchestras in the world, not just once, but on a regular basis.

To build an ongoing relationship between the community and that orchestra, and to present a series of concerts in the city’s brand-new world-class concert hall at the Adrienne Arsht Center. To harness the power of music to engage school children, and to present community presentations of the highest caliber. Today, as we celebrate our Tenth Anniversary, that dream is a reality, and we list here the names of the founders of Cleveland Orcherstra Miami in gratitude to their vision, perseverance, and dedication . . . to a dream . . . for all of South Florida.

The Miami Music Association (MMA) is a not-for-profit corporation, comprised of leading Miamians motivated by the idea that as a world-class city Miami’s cultural life should always include orchestral performances at the very highest international level. No orchestra in America — indeed, perhaps no other orchestra in the world — is more ideally suited to partner with MMA in achieving these goals than The Cleveland Orchestra.

Securing and building support for Cleveland Orchestra Miami will ensure that we succeed in creating a culture of passionate and dedicated concert-going in South Florida among the broadest constituency. Thank you for your support and commitment.

The Cleveland Orchestra Under the leadership of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst, The Cleveland Orchestra has become one of the most sought-after performing ensembles in the world, setting standards of artistic excellence, creative programming, and community engagement. In July 2015, the New York Times declared it “the best in America.” The strong and ongoing financial support of the ensemble’s home region is driving the Orchestra forward with renewed energy and focus, increasing the number of young people attending concerts, and bringing fresh attention to the Orchestra’s legendary sound and committed programming.

The Cleveland Orchestra has a long and distinguished recording and broadcast history. A series of DVD and CD recordings under the direction of Mr. Welser-­ Möst continues to add to an extensive and widely praised catalog of audio recordings made during the tenures of the ensemble’s earlier music directors. In addition, Cleveland Orchestra concerts are heard in syndication each season on radio stations throughout North America and Europe.

The Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918 by a group of local citizens intent on creating an ensemble worthy of joining America’s top rank of symphony orchestras. Over the next decades, the Orchestra grew from a fine regional organization to one of the most admired symphonic ensembles in the world. Seven music directors (Nikolai Soko­loff, 1918– 1933; Artur Rodzinski, 1933–1943; Erich Leins­dorf, 1943–1946; George Szell, 1946–1970; Lorin Maazel, 1972–1982; Christoph von Dohnányi, 1984–2002; and Franz Welser-Möst, since 2002) have guided and shaped the ensemble’s growth and sound. 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. Today, touring, residencies, radio broadcasts, and recordings provide access to the Orchestra’s music-making to a broad and loyal constituency around the world.

Soloist

Renée Fleming Soprano Renée Fleming is one of the most acclaimed singers of our time. In 2013, President Obama awarded her America’s highest honor for an individual artist, the National Medal of Arts.

She has sung at momentous occasions around the world, from the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony to performances in Beijing during the 2008 Olympic Games.

She was winner of the 2013 Best Classical Vocal Grammy Award. And in 2014, she became the first classical singer ever to perform “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the Super Bowl. In 2012, in another historic first, she sang on the balcony of Buckingham Palace in the Diamond Jubilee Concert for Queen Elizabeth II. Ms. Fleming was featured in 2009 in the televised We Are One: The Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial concert for President Obama. She has also performed for the United States Supreme Court, and in 2014 she celebrated the

25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall in a televised concert at the Brandenburg Gate. Another distinction was bestowed in 2008 when, breaking a precedent, Renée Fleming became the first woman in the 125-year history of the Metropolitan Opera to solo headline an opening night gala.

This past winter, on New Year’s Eve, Renée appeared in the title role in a new production of Franz Lehár’s The Merry Widow at the Metropolitan Opera.

She made her Broadway theater debut in 2015 in Living on Love, for which she was nominated for a Drama League Award. She has appeared in virtually all of the world’s greatest opera houses and concert halls. Ms. Fleming’s recital schedule in recent years has spanned the globe, including performances in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Quito, Bogota, Paris, Geneva, London, Vienna, Hong Kong, Beijing, Guangzhou, and Taipei.

Renée Fleming won her fourth Grammy Award for her album Poèmes.

Recipient of 14 Grammy nominations to date, she has recorded all manner of genres and works, from complete operas and song recitals to an album of indie rock covers called Dark Hope, a jazz album titled Haunted Heart, and the movie soundtrack of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Her latest recording, Berg’s Lyric Suite and Wellesz’s Sonnets

by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, with the Emerson String Quartet, was released by Decca in August 2015.

Known for bringing new audiences to classical music and opera, Ms. Flem-

Guest Soloist

19

ing has sung not only with Luciano Pavarotti and Plácido Domingo but also with Elton John, Sting, Lou Reed, Josh Groban, Joan Baez, and even the Muppets.

Her recent opera DVDs include Strauss’s Arabella and Ariadne auf Naxos, and Donizetti’s Lucrezia Borgia. Other recent DVD releases include Handel’s Rodelinda, Massenet’s Thaïs, and Rossini’s Armida, all three in the Metropolitan Opera Live in HD series, and Verdi’s La Traviata filmed at London’s Royal Opera House.

With a multimedia profile rare among contemporary opera singers, Renée Fleming has hosted a wide variety of television and radio broadcasts, including the Metropolitan Opera’s Live in HD series for movie theaters and television, and Live from Lincoln Center on PBS. She was the subject of an HBO Masterclass documentary, and has been a frequent guest on Prairie Home Companion on National Public Radio. In 2013, she joined with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to present American Voices, a concert and three-day festival celebrating the best American singing in all genres. The festival was the subject of a Great Performances documentary on PBS in January 2015. This summer, she was the keynote speaker for the Tessitura Network’s 2015 Community & Learning conference, speaking of her passion for arts and education before the gathering of 1,700 performing arts professionals and software developers.

Her book The Inner Voice was published by Viking Penguin in 2004, and released in paperback by Penguin the following year. An intimate account of

20

her career and creative process, the book is now in its twelfth US printing, and it is also published in France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, and Russia. A Polish edition is being released this autumn.

Renée Fleming is a champion of new music and has performed works by a wide range of contemporary composers, including recent compositions by Anders Hillborg, Henri Dutilleux, Brad Mehldau, André Previn, and Wayne Shorter.

In 2010, Ms. Fleming was named the first-ever creative consultant at Lyric Opera of Chicago. This past year, she curated the creation of a world-premiere opera based on the best-selling book Bel Canto, which opened Lyric Opera’s 2015-16 season in December. She is also a member of the Board of Trustees of the Carnegie Hall Corporation, the Board of Sing for Hope, and the Artistic Advisory Board of the Polyphony Foundation. Among her awards are the Fulbright Lifetime Achievement Medal, Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur, Germany’s Cross of the Order of Merit, Honorary Membership in the Royal Academy of Music, Sweden’s Polar Music Prize, and honorary doctorates from Duke University, Harvard University, Carnegie Mellon University, the Eastman School of Music, and the Juilliard School.

Conductor Franz Welser-Möst Music Director Kelvin Smith Family Endowed Chair The Cleveland Orchestra

Franz Welser-Möst is among today’s most distinguished conductors. The 2015-16 season marks his fourteenth year as music director of The Cleveland Orchestra, with the future of this acclaimed partnership now extending into the next decade. In 2015, the New York Times declared Cleveland to be the “best American orchestra“ due to its virtuosity, elegance of sound, variety of color, and chamber-like musical cohesion. The Cleveland Orchestra has been repeatedly praised for its innovative programming, support for new musical works, and for its recent success in semistaged and staged opera productions.

In addition to an unprecedented annual residency in Miami, Franz WelserMöst and The Cleveland Orchestra are frequent guests at many prestigious concert halls and festivals, including the Salzburg Festival and the Lucerne Festival. The Cleveland Orchestra has been hugely successful in building up a new and, notably, a young audience through its groundbreaking programs involving students and by working closely with universities.

As a guest conductor, Mr. WelserMöst enjoys a close and productive relationship with the Vienna Philharmonic.

Recent performances with the Philharmonic include critically-acclaimed opera productions at the Salzburg Festival (Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier in 2014 and Beethoven’s Fidelio in 2015) and a tour of Scandinavia, as well as appearances at New York’s Carnegie Hall, at the Lucerne

Festival, and in concert at La Scala Milan. He has conducted the Philharmonic’s celebrated annual New Year’s Day concert twice, viewed by millions worldwide.

This season, he leads the Vienna Philharmonic in two weeks of subscription concerts, and will conduct a new production of Strauss’s Die Liebe der Danae with them at the 2016 Salzburg Festival.

Mr. Welser-Möst also maintains relationships with a number of other European orchestras, and the 2015-16 season includes return engagements to Munich’s Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and Zurich’s Tonhalle Orchestra.

In December, he led the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic in the Nobel Prize concert in Stockholm and conducted the Filarmonica of La Scala Milan in a televised Christmas concert. This season, he also makes his long-anticipated debut with Amsterdam’s Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra for two weeks of concerts.

From 2010 to 2014, Franz WelserMöst served as general music director of the Vienna State Opera. His partnership with the company included an acclaimed new production of Wagner’s Ring cycle and a series of critically-praised new productions, as well as performances of a

Music Director

21

wide range of other operas, particularly works by Wagner and Richard Strauss.

Prior to his years with the Vienna State Opera, Mr. Welser-Möst led the Zurich Opera across a decade-long tenure, conducting more than forty new productions and culminating in three seasons as general music director (2005-08).

Franz Welser-Möst’s recordings and videos have won major awards, including a Gramophone Award, Diapason d’Or, Japanese Record Academy Award, and two Grammy nominations. The Salzburg Festival production he conducted of Der Rosenkavalier was awarded with the Echo Klassik 2015 for “best opera recording.“ With The Cleveland Orchestra, his recordings include DVD recordings of live perfor-

mances of five of Bruckner’s symphonies and a recently-released multi-DVD set of major works by Brahms, featuring Yefim Bronfman and Julia Fischer as soloists.

For his talents and dedication, Mr. Welser-Möst has received honors that include the Vienna Philharmonic’s “Ring of Honor” for his longstanding personal and artistic relationship with the ensemble, as well as 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.

Franz Welser-Möst was invited to lead the prestigious Nobel Prize Concert with the Stockholm Philharmonic in December 2015. Other recent accolades include being singled out in a year-end review of notable performers and performances in 2015 by Deutschland Radio.

“Right now The Cleveland Orchestra may be, as some have argued, the finest in America. . . . The ovations for Mr. Welser-Möst and this remarkable orchestra were ecstatic.” —New York Times “Franz Welser-Möst has managed something radical with The Cleveland Orch­estra — making them play as one seamless unit. . . . The music flickered with a very delicate beauty that makes the Clevelanders sound like no other orchestra.”

—London Times

Music Director

About the Music Symphony No. 35 (“Haffner”)

by Wolfgang Amadè Mozart (1756-1791)

By reasons of happenstance, we know more about why and when and how Mozart wrote his “Haffner” Symphony than any of his other symphonies. In July 1782, his father Leopold wrote to Mozart saying that the Haffner family of Salzburg was requesting a new musical work to celebrate the ennoblement of the composer’s childhood friend Sigmund Haffner. Wolfgang was in the midst of a very busy, almost chaotic summer, completing his opera The Abduction from the Seraglio and also finalizing plans for his marriage to Constanze Weber in early August. He complained back to his father that he had no time except by “staying up all night to do it,” but did just that and movement by movement sent Leopold the new work. We have much of the relevant correspondence, but don’t actually know if the parts arrived in time or exactly when the symphony was performed at the time of the Haffner ceremony.

Some months later, Mozart asked his father to send the new symphony back to him, so that he could perform it in Vienna. At this point, Mozart decided to toss out a fifth-movement march, and added clarinets and flutes to the opening and closing movements. It was in this finalized form that Mozart conducted the work in Vienna in March 1783 as part of a concert that also featured two of his own new piano concertos with himself as soloist. The Emperor attended and, according to Mozart, was extraordinarily pleased — but not pleased enough to send the composer an extra tip. Audiences ever since have enjoyed the work for its pleasing melodies and craftful art.

Performance Length: just over 15 minutes

Opera Selections

by Verdi, Puccini, Tosti, and Cilea

Opera was first created in Italy, and although other countries and cultures — from France to Germany, from Spain to Russia, from Mexico to England and the United States — have created their own variations on the idea of staged plays where the action is carried as much by the music as the acting, Italy may still lay claim to an extraordinary flowering of talent throughout the 19th century. Rossini, Donizetti, and Bellini created dozens of masterpieces, opening the way to the genius of Giuseppe Verdi, whose sense of drama helped pave the way for even more emotional angst in the music of Giacomo Puccini and other verismo composers.

Our soloist this evening, Renée Fleming, offers us exacting samples from the latter half of the 19th century, filled with powerful emotion and deft characterizations in musical form. First up is a brilliant scene from Verdi’s Otello, based on Shakespeare’s tragic play Othello. In the final act, Desdemona tries to calm herself from the foreboding she senses in Otello’s jealousy, evincing a nostalgic longing and then praying to God — and establishing incredible tension prior to her husband’s About the Music

violent entrance to murder his innocent wife.

Following the surging music of Verdi’s Overture to La Forza del destino [The Power of Destiny], we continue on to the young love of Puccini’s La Bohème, as Mimi introduces herself to the poet Rodolfo. After which we enjoy Tosti’s “April,” a song filled with joy and sunshine. And then, to close the announced portion of the evening’s singing, we venture to an apt aria from Cilea’s Adriana Lecouvreur. In this, the title character, a famous actress (who dies by mistaken poisoning at the end of the opera) comments on her art and its fleeting nature — created in the moment of performance and then vanishing into nothing.

La Valse [The Waltz]

by Maurice Ravel (1875-1937)

This gala concert concludes without tonight’s heroine, with a purely orchestral work — a vibrant musical homage to the Germanic waltz, here written by a Frenchman. Ravel was greatly inspired by dance forms throughout his career. He began sketching what would become The Waltz [La Valse] in 1905, imagining that he would create a pleasant and uplifting tribute to the power of the 19th century’s greatest dance form as perfected by Johann Strauss Jr. At the time, he planned to call the new work “Vienna.” Other projects intervened, however, and Ravel found himself writing other music instead. And when World War I came along, the French composer could not bring himself to continue with “music of the enemy.”

Ravel finally completed La Valse in 1920, writing into it a sense not just of the waltz at the height of its popularity, but a larger view of the great Germanic society that had created it and that had been smashed by the forces of World War I — death and destruction, diversity and democracy. In the score, Ravel had the following text printed: “An Imperial court about 1855. At first the scene is dimmed by a kind of swirling mist, through which one discerns, vaguely and intermittently, the waltzing couples. Little by little the vapors disperse, the illumination grows brighter, revealing an immense ballroom filled with dancers; the blaze of the chandeliers comes to full splendor.”

The music begins softly, almost imperceptibly. Slowly, a waltz forms. Like the great Strauss waltzes, this “waltz” is really a set of several waltz-tunes, alternated and developed together. The music builds and builds, with ever greater energy, but also with a sense of foreboding, of a distant storm on the horizon, of unwanted dissonances lurking deep in the music. Dance now, for you cannot know what tomorrow shall bring. But the dance goes on, and on. At last there is a great climax, and then the three-quarter beat of the waltz shatters and is smashed, finished, suddenly over.

Exhilarating while it lasted, in history and in Ravel’s epic musical storytelling!

About the Music

“Willow Song” and Ave Maria from Otello music by Giuseppe Verdi, words by Arrigo Boito

Mi parea.

M’ingiungse di coricarmi e d’attenderlo.

Emilia, te ne prego, Distendi sul mio letto la mia candida veste nuziale.

Senti! Se pria di te morire dovessi Mi seppellisci con un di quei veli.

He seemed calmer to me.

He commanded me to go to bed and await him there.

Emilia, I pray you, lay upon my bed my white wedding nightgown.

Listen. If I should die before you, lay me to rest in one of those veils.

Son mesta tanto, tanto.

Mia madre aveva una povera ancella Innamorate w bella; Era il suo nome Barbara; Amava un uom che poi l’abbandonò, cantava una canzone; La canzone del Salice.

I am so sad, so sad.

My mother had a poor maidservant; she was in love and pretty; Her name was Barbara; she loved a man who abandoned her.

She used to sing a song, the song of “The Willow.”

Mi disciogli le chiome.

Io questa sera ho la memoria plena di quella cantilena.

“Piangea cantando nell’erma landa, piangea la mesta.

O Salce! Salce! Salce!

Sedea chinando sul sen la testa!

Salce! Salce! Salce!

Cantiamo! Cantiamo!

Il salce funebre sarà la mia ghirlanda.”

Unbind my hair.

This evening my memory is haunted by that old refrain: “She wept as she sang on the lonely heath, the poor girl wept, O Willow, Willow, Willow!

She sat with her head upon her breast, Willow, Willow, Willow!

Come sing! Come sing!

The green willow shall be my garland.”

Affrettati; fra poco giunge Otello.

Make haste; Othello will soon be here.

“Scorea noi rivi fra le zolle in fior, gemea quel core affranto, e dal le coglia le sgorgava il cor, l’amare onda del pianto, Salce! Salce! Salce!

Cantiamo! Cantiamo!

Il salce funebre sarà la mia ghirlanda.”

“Fresh streams ran between flowery banks, she moaned in her grief, in bitter tears springing from her eyelids her poor heart sought relief.

Willow! Willow! Willow!

Come sing! Come sing!

The green willow shall be my garland.”

“Scendean l’augellia voldai rami cupi verso quel dolce canto.

E gli occhi suoi piangean tanto, tanto, Da impietosir le rupi.”

“Down from dark branches flew the birds towards the sweet singing.

Sufficient were the tears that she did weep that stones her sorrow shared.”

Riponi quest’anello.

Povera Barbara!

Solea la storia conquesto semplice suono finir: “E gli era nato per la sua gloria, io per amar.”

Lay this ring by.

Poor Barbara!

The story used to end with this simple phrase: “He was born for glory, I to love . . .”

Ascolta. Odo un lamento. Taci.

Qui batte a quella porta?

Hark! I heard a moan.

Hush . . . Who knocks upon that door?

“Io per amarlo e per morire Cantiamo! Cantiamo!

Salce! Salce! Salce!

“I to love him and to die.

Come sing! Come sing!

Willow! Willow! Willow!”

Emilia, addio.

Come m’ardon le cigia! È presagio di pianto.

Buona notte.

Ah! Emilia, Emilia, addio, Emilia, addio!

Emilia, farewell.

How mine eyes do itch!

That bodes weeping.

Good night.

Ah! Emilia, Emilia, farewell!

Emilia, farewell!

Ave Maria, piena di grazia, eletta Fra le spose e le vergini sei tu, Sia benedetto il frutto, o benedetta, Di tue materne viscere, Gesù.

Hail Mary, full of grace, blessed amongst wives and maids art thou. and blessed is the fruit, O blessed one, of thy maternal womb, Jesu.

Prega per chi adorando a te si prostra, Prega nel peccator, per l’innocente, E pel debole oppresso e pel possente, Misero anch’esso, tua pietà dimostra.

Prega per chi sotto l’oltraggio piega La fronte e sotto la malvagia sorte; Per noi, per noi tu prega, prega Sempre e nell’ora della morte nostra, Prega per noi, prega per noi, prega.

Ave Maria . . . Nell’ora della morte. Ave! . . .Amen!

Pray for those who kneeling adore thee, pray for the sinner, pray for the innocent and for the weak oppressed; and to the powerful man, who also grieves, thy sweet compassion show.

Pray for him who bows beneath injustice and ‘neath the blows of cruel destiny. for us, pray thou for us, pray for us always, and at the hour of our death pray for us, pray for us, pray!

Hail Mary … and at the hour of our death. Hail! Amen!

Sung Texts

“Yes, they call me Mimi” from La Bohème music by Giacomo Puccini, words by Arrigo Boito

Mi chiamano Mimì, ma il mio nome è Lucia.

Yes, they call me Mimi, but my name is Lucia.

La storia mia è breve.

A tela o a seta ricamo in casa e fuori...

Son tranquilla e lieta ed è mio svago far gigli e rose.

My story is brief: I embroider linen or silk at home or outside.

I am peaceful and happy and I enjoy embroidering lilies and roses.

Mi piaccion quelle cose che han sì dolce malìa, che parlano d’amor, di primavere, di sogni e di chimere, quelle cose che han nome poesia...

Lei m’intende?

I love those things which possess such sweet enchantment, That speak of love, of spring, Of dreams and visions, Those things that people call poetic.

Do you understand?

Mi chiamano Mimì, il perché non so.

Sola, mi fo il pranzo da me stessa.

Non vado sempre a messa, ma prego assai il Signore.

Vivo sola, soletta là in una bianca cameretta: guardo sui tetti e in cielo; ma quando vien lo sgelo il primo sole è mio il primo bacio dell’aprile è mio!

Germoglia in un vaso una rosa...

They call me Mimi.

Why, I don’t know.

All alone I make my own supper.

I do not always go to Mass, but I pray to God often.

I live alone, quite alone there in a little white room.

I look upon the roofs and heaven; by when the thaw comes, the first sunshine is mine!

April’s first kiss is mine!

A rose is coming into bloom;

Foglia a foglia la spio!

Cosi gentile il profumo d’un fiore!

Ma i fior ch’io faccio, Ahimè! non hanno odore.

Altro di me non le saprei narrare.

Sono la sua vicina che la vien fuori d’ora a importunare.

Leaf and leaf I watch it!

That gentle perfume of a flower!

But the flowers that I make alas, have no smell!

There’s no more I can tell you about myself.

I am your neighbor who comes unexpectedly to bother you.

“April”

music by Francesco Paolo Tosti, words by Francesco Cimmino

Non senti tu ne l’aria il profumo che spande Primavera?

Non senti tu ne l’anima il suon de nova voce lusinghiera?

Do you not smell on the air the wafting perfume of Spring?

Do you not hear in your soul the tunes of a new coaxing voice?

È l’April! È la stagion d’amore!

Deh! vieni, o mia gentil su’ prati’n fiore!

It is April — the season of love!

Come! Come, my love, into the blooming fields!

Il piè trarrai fra mammole, avrai su’l petto rose e cilestrine, e le farfalle candide t’aleggeranno intorno al nero crine.

Your paths are strewn with violets, you will dress with roses and bluebells, and pure white butterflies will dance lightly around your hair.

È l’April! È la stagion d’amore!

Deh! vieni, o mia gentil su’ prati’n fiore!

It is April — the season of love!

Come! Come, my love, into the blooming fields!

“I am the Humble Maidservant”

music by Francesco Francesco Cilea, words by Arturo Colautti

See, I can scarcely breathe…

I am the humble maidservant of the creative spirit; He offers me the words and I make them known to people’s hearts.

I give the verses their stress and echo the human drama, I am the delicate instrument that serves the hand.

Quiet, happy, terrible; my name is Fidelity.

My voice is but a breath, which, with the new day, will die.

Ecco, respiro appena . . .

Io son l’umile ancella del genio creator; Ei m’offre la favella Io la diffondo ai cor…

Del verso io son l’accento, l’eco del dramma uman il fragile strumento vassallo della man…

Mite, gioconda, atroce, Mi chiamo Fedeltà; Un soffio è la mia voce, Che al novo dì morrà.
