Cleveland Orchestra Miami presented by the
M IAM I M US I C AS SOC IAT I O N 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.

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.

Dear Friends, Welcome to the closing weekend of concerts of this spectacular tenth anniversary season! Thank you so much for being a part of Cleveland Orchestra Miami, whether this is your first concert with us, or you have been with us from the beginning. In addition to this week’s evening concerts at the Arsht Center, we are extraordinarily thrilled to close the season with a unique Community Music Celebration — a series of free daytime performances by members of The Cleveland Orchestra this Saturday, March 19, all free to the public, taking place in Miami-Dade Public Library System locations all across the county. Sharing this gift of music with you and everyone who loves music across South Florida is one expression of our gratitude for the public’s support of and interest in Cleveland Orchestra Miami’s ongoing work to serve the community. Even more, it is our chance to share the world’s best music — and best orchestra — with everyone who wants to listen and be inspired. Sharing music, after all, is at the core of everything Cleveland Orchestra Miami does. Great orchestral concerts here at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County. Great music for schoolchildren attending with their classes. Great music for families and community members, season ticketholders and first-time concertgoers. Our free Community Music Celebration this Saturday is the perfect close to a season that has featured critically-acclaimed concerts here in the Knight Concert Hall . . . our first annual Gala . . . education concerts in partnership with MiamiDade County Public Schools . . . Musical Rainbows for young children and their families . . . and so much more. All of this is only possible through your support. By attending concerts, buying tickets, and making donations, you enable Cleveland Orchestra Miami to serve more than 20,000 people across the region annually. A very big thank you! — and a promise to continue serving you music of the highest caliber. I hope you’ll consider helping ensure that Cleveland Orchestra Miami’s work in South Florida continues for another ten years and beyond, by adding your name to the list of supporters on pages11-13. We look forward to sharing more exceptional musical performances with you next season and for many years to come. Ten years is just the beginning!
Best regards,
Jeffrey Feldman P.S. Full details about next season’s concerts are available on insert with this program book, and online at www.ClevelandOrchestraMiami.com. Cleveland Orchestra Miami 2015-16

From Dream to Reality Honoring the Founders of Cleveland Orchestra Miami
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.

“Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.” —Ludwig van Beethoven
Sometimes things feel great right from the start. After only ten years, Cleveland Orchestra Miami feels as though it has always been a part of Miami’s cultural life. These great performances are making Miami an even better place to live. We applaud the visionaries who had the passion and chutzpah to bring the world’s best orchestra to Miami. We salute the founders and director of the Miami Music Association, created under the leadership of founding Chairman Dan Lewis, and now led by President Jeffrey Feldman and Chairman Sheldon Anderson. The generosity and steadfast determination of everyone involved is preparing for a new decade of community achievement and musical success. —Rick and Margarita Tonkinson

INTRODUCING THE CONCERT
Storms, Virtuosity& Orchestral Splendor T O C O N C L U D E Cleveland Orchestra Miami’s Tenth Anniversary Sea-
son, this weekend’s concerts offer the excitement of a world premiere, the dazzle of a grand 19th-century piano concerto, and the orchestral wonder of a big first symphony written just on the brink of the 20th century and the modern technological world. The evening opens with a brand-new work, written especially for The Cleveland Orchestra to celebrate the tandem tenth seasons of the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County and Cleveland Orchestra Miami. Commissioned by the Arsht Center, Avner Dorman’s Siklòn presents a musical impression of the vibrant and swirling life and lives that have catapulted modern Miami into becoming a vibrant global center for arts and culture. The title is the Haitian Creole word for “cyclone,” and is meant as a metaphor for all the intertwined and circling energy that is propelling Miami forward. Next up is Franz Liszt’s Second Piano Concerto, given its world premiere in 1857. Liszt was one of the greatest virtuosos of the piano — and made his reputation first as a performing act, before settling down and also writing a trove of sublime compositions. For these Miami performances, we welcome one of today’s great pianists, Frenchman JeanYves Thibaudet. To end the concert, conductor Giancarlo Guerrero has chosen Gustav Mahler’s First Symphony, written in 1884-1889. Its huge canvas, wide range of musical textures, and mixing in of everyday musical sounds confused early audiences — but stands today as a clear sign of the approaching explosion of experimental musical styles and combining of ideas brought forth in the 20th century. After an opening movement of birdcalls and a sense of clashing nature comes a grotesque funeral march in the third movement, ending as the symphony’s finale rings out in triumphant and uplifting proclamation. —Eric Sellen .

DORMAN born April 14 1975 Tel Aviv, Israel resides in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
the moment I arrived, I was captivated. So many aspects of the city spoke to me — the warm nights, the hot sun, the cosmopolitan culture, the diverse population — and I was reminded of my home city of Tel Aviv. As I had the opportunity to tour different neighborhoods in Miami and meet artists, musicians, and other members of the community, I was struck by the energy of the people. The mingling of different cultures, foods, politics, and arts concocts a whirlwind of energy that is unique to the city of Miami. Siklòn, the work I have written for this commission, refers both to the violent nature of Miami’s hurricanes, as well as to the frenzy of energy that comes from a place driven by hot weather, sometimes clashing ideas, and the effervescence of youth. The title “Siklòn” is the Haitian Creole word for hurricane. While it evokes the image of a “cyclone” or a storm, the word is one that may be unfamiliar to many, and it calls to mind the worlds of experiences and ideas that are present in the fabric of Miami’s culture. The work begins with a clash of ideas that is, at times, both challenging and aggressive. These musical ideas continue to interact, swirling and reacting to one another, until the storm breaks into a joyful energy. While the undercurrent continues to churn and the energy never subsides, the once-disturbing storm becomes an outlet of light and happiness. While I still hope to learn more about the depth of Miami’s culture, this piece reflects how I perceive the city — joyful, passionate, and bursting with creativity. —Avner Dorman JANUARY 2016

Dorman holds a doctorate in composition from the Juilliard School and serves as assistant professor of music theory and composition at the Sunderman Conservatory of Music at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania. He earned a master’s degree at Tel Aviv University, majoring in music, musicology, and physics. For more information, visit www.avnerdormanmusic.com.
Q&Aabout Siklòn
You’ve said that for this new work you envisioned a hurricane or cyclone as a metaphor for the mixing together of diverse cultures in Miami. Does any part of the piece sound like a hurricane? I’ve never been inside a hurricane, so I don’t know what a hurricane sounds like. I guess some people do have that experience, but I’m not a storm-chaser. However, if you look at the score, there is something like a swelling of the meter, going back and forth, from faster to slower, again and again, and also I think it has a feeling of something big coming, something storm-like. So there is an aspect that is audible, not in trying to imitate the sound of a storm, but more like the feeling of wind and water and energy building up. So that there is something that might be audible. But I wasn’t trying to imitate a storm, which I think might be just noise to me. I wanted to create music, not noise. How did you come to this idea of representing Miami in music? I visited Miami for the first time just a year ago. So in one sense, this music is first impressions, even though I spent quite a few days around town and time trying to understand what I saw. As I was walking around and feeling the heat of the city, and knowing that hurricanes are a part of what Miami may face each year, sometimes just over the horizon, and meeting so many people, so many different and such creative people, I got an incredible sense of so much energy coming to and being formed in Miami. I was raised in Tel Aviv, which I think has a similar vibe, because in both cities there are a lot of different cultures, and people are very outspoken about their own culture and wanting to have their own place, and to mix together but still be who they are. I met with artists around Miami — and I saw everything in strong colors. People paint, and draw

boldly, and even in the photography, everything is very vivid. And I began thinking that this is quite interesting, for a city to have so much sun together with such powerful storms, and I began to see that the city’s culture itself has such vividness and diversity and a clashing of elements. Not an angry kind of clashing, but something that creates energy from the friction and interaction. So that the idea of a hurricane really became a metaphor for me of an energy that is being created from everything that is happening. How did you approach writing a piece for The Cleveland Orchestra? Writing for The Cleveland Orchestra is a dream come true. They are one of my favorite orchestras. I’ve heard them live, in Cleveland and in New York, and in Europe, and they are one of the most superb ensembles in the world. So I just went for it — because I knew that anything could work, that these musicians could play anything. There is no weakness among the sections or players. I’m a huge fan of the warm sound and expressive nature of The Cleveland Orchestra, but this piece isn’t about that. I wasn’t writing for that sound. I was writing a piece, and I didn’t have to make choices. The piece is almost like a small concerto for orchestra, in that almost every instrument in the orchestra gets a moment when the music is driven by that instrument or by a section together. Knowing that every group of players within the Orchestra was strong, there was not a worry in my mind. They can do everything, and they will make the notes sing, and they will turn what I write into music. You have your own connection with the city of Cleveland, as the music director of CityMusic Cleveland. Did that touch this piece in any way? Siklón is about Miami, written for The Cleveland Orchestra, and to celebrate the Arsht Center as a great hub for art and culture. I wasn’t really thinking about Cleveland while I was writing this piece. Yes, I am in Cleveland a lot for CityMusic’s work of sharing music around to different neighborhoods, and I know some of the musicians in The Cleveland Orchestra quite well. So my mind was focused on the Orchestra, but I was picturing it in Miami, because this piece is about Miami as a vibrant and alive and creative city. Did music from any of the cultural groups in Miami influence your writing? One thing I didn’t do in this piece is try to incorporate elements of world music that are so obviously part of Miami. I listened to a lot of Haitian and Cuban music, but I felt that it would be superficial for me to try to incorporate anything directly from those cultures, which are not my own. I think, perhaps, that there are elements in certain rhythms, which are common in those musical styles or in folk music in general, and people can hear something familiar, if they want to. But I only try to work with what is natural and cohesive to my own style of writing. I did not include any direct quotes. This music is my reaction to Miami’s exciting and diverse mix of cultures, it is not a rendering of those differing styles.

About the Music
2015-16 Cleveland Orchestra Miami
How would you describe your own style of music? First of all, rhythm is central to my understanding of music. Percussion also plays a big role in my writing, to create rhythm, but also for sounding color, and in making differing colors in sound. I like to explore different colorings in music, and to explore different instruments making new colors together. This piece is very driving, exuberant, exciting. The beginning of Siklòn is filled with swirling, with rhythm involved in lots of motion. And then toward the end, the music becomes more melodic and expressive. So one might say that rhythm is a beginning, but this music — and my music — is more than just rhythm happening in time. I try to use rhythm to lead to something that is emotionally meaningful. The piece’s title is “Siklòn,” the Haitian Creole word for cyclone or hurricane. Why did you choose that word? Titles are hard for me. It’s not like I have a title and then I write the piece to fit. There is music in my mind, and I then I come to understand it by writing it, and by giving it a name. I had the image of a hurricane in my mind, and then I found the word Siklòn. I think that it works really well from many points of view. It is obvious what it is — we all know what a cyclone is. But this is not the obvious way to say hurricane. This is the Haitian Creole word for cyclone, where the accent over the “o” already makes it more interesting, even visually. It seemed a good fit for the content of the piece and even to help grab your attention. And it comes from a specific culture within the mix, of the many peoples who have come to live in Miami. The visual of a cyclone was right there in my mind as I was writing, and I think it very much fits the piece, at least for the first half or more, with all the swirling together as energy is accumulating and until, of course, something has to happen with it. But that is the nature of a musical journey — to start in one place and to end somewhere else. Even if you end where you began, you are changed by taking the journey.
At a Glance Dorman wrote Siklòn (the Haitian Creole word for “cyclone” or “hurricane”) in 2015 on a commission from the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County as part of its 10@10 Commission Project to jointly celebrate the Tenth Anniversary Season of the Arsht Center and Cleveland Orchestra Miami, a longterm annual residency by The Cleveland Orchestra in Miami involving annual concerts, education pro-

Piano Concerto No. 2 in A major composed 1839-49, revised 1853-61
F R A N Z L I S Z T ’ S two piano concertos evolved side by side
by
Franz
LISZT born October 22, 1811 Doborján, Hungary (now Raiding, Austria) died July 31, 1886 Bayreuth, Germany
over a period of some twenty years, originating during a time of extensive concert tours and completed after Liszt had settled down as court conductor in Weimar. (Liszt also created a number of sketches for a third concerto early in this time period, in E-flat major like the well-known No. 1; a performing version was reconstructed in the late 1980s and subsequently performed and recorded.) For Liszt, these years were marked by an ongoing struggle to find his own voice as a composer. He had to reconcile two opposite tendencies that were equally strong in his artistic makeup — the Romantic virtuoso whose spirit refused to be restrained by rules or conventions, and the master builder who strove to create large-scale structures governed by their own internal logic. Liszt could not have hoped to resolve this apparent contradiction without the major change in lifestyle he embarked on in 1848. That year, he retired from public concertizing as a pianist and accepted the post of kapellmeister at the small German court of Weimar. A decade of intense compositional work began, resulting in the completion of many old projects and even more new ones, including the cycle of symphonic poems, the grandiose B-minor sonata for piano, and the published piano concertos. Throughout their long gestation, the two concertos followed strongly divergent evolutionary paths, and each has a distinct personality. Conventional wisdom calls No. 1 more heroic and No. 2 more lyrical, but those characterizations apply to the respective openings better than they do to the two concertos on the whole. Liszt’s solution to the dilemma between Romantic freedom and Classical balance was in a method later known as motivic transformation. Expanding upon practices found in the works of Beethoven and Schubert (among others), Liszt devised ways in which a single melodic or harmonic idea could be made to change its character from lyrical to playful, dramatic, or martial, and more. The frequent alternation between characters — set off by major changes in tempo, key, and orchestration — make simple labelling, like those mentioned above, rather

At a Glance The earliest sketches for this Piano Concerto in A major date from September 1839, but Liszt did not complete it until 1849. He subsequently revised the concerto extensively in 1853, 1857, and 1861. The first performance took place on January 7, 1857, in Weimar; Liszt conducted, and one of his pupils, Hans von Bronsart, played the solo part. The concerto was published in 1863, with a dedication to Bronsart. The first performance in the United States was given on October 5, 1870, in Boston. This concerto runs about 20 minutes in performance. Liszt scored it for 3 flutes (third doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, cymbals, and strings, plus solo piano. The Cleveland Orchestra first performed Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in May 1933, under Rudolph Ringwall’s direction with Charles Leedy at the piano.

problematic. Both concertos are in one movement but contain numerous shorter sections, played together without pause. In both works, the outlines of a classical four-movement form are readily discernible, as some of the character variations are modelled after symphonic slow movements or scherzos. The second concerto’s main idea, to be transformed in the course of the work, is stated at the very beginning by the woodwinds and immediately repeated by the piano. It combines a lyrical, singing quality with some fairly unusual accompanying harmonies. This idea is contrasted with a more energetic and rhythmical second subject that evolves into a section (marked Allegro agitato assai) containing the first full-force passage involving the entire orchestra. This second subject, like the first, undergoes some motivic transformation and reappears thoroughly tamed as an expressive string melody, preparing the return of the main theme as a quintessentially romantic cello solo, accompanied by the piano. The subsequent Allegro deciso functions as a development section where both subjects are taken up simultaneously. The last portion of the concerto, as in many works by Liszt from this period, is a triumphal march. (It has been said that Liszt’s companion during the Weimar years, Princess Carolyne SaynWittgenstein, favored endings of this kind.) The march section in the Second Piano Concerto incorporates some contrasting episodes, such as a final lyrical piano solo and a scherzo-like section marked Allegro animato. But the final word belongs to the march, growing ever louder and faster to the brilliant ending. —Peter Laki © 2016 Copyright © Musical Arts Association

tune came from his great skill as a conductor. Following a few short years of apprenticeship among the provincial opera houses of Europe, he quickly emerged as one of the foremost conductors of his time — and eventually became music director of the Vienna State Opera and conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic, and then chief conductor in New York at the Metropolitan Opera and the New York Philharmonic. It took the world far longer to accept Mahler’s genius as a composer. Indeed, a number of his late works were not premiered until after his death — and it was well into the second half of the 20th century before his symphonies became standard fare at concerts throughout the world. The First Symphony is a product of Mahler’s “wandering years” as a young composer. Like the hero of his first great song cycle, Songs of a Wayfarer, he was himself a “wayfarer” in the 1880s, moving from city to city and from conducting job to conducting job until finally, in 1888, he landed his first important post as director of the Royal Opera in Budapest at the age of 28. Mahler’s outward success as a conductor, however, did not translate into understanding for his First Symphony, which was especially poorly received at its early performances. Audiences in Budapest (1889), Hamburg and Weimar (1893), and Vienna (1900) were equally bewildered by what they heard as total musical chaos and an unacceptable mixture of conflicting emotions and ideas. This may be surprising to us today, given the great popularity of Mahler’s music in our time, but 100 years ago Mahler’s departures from classical form were too great — or too unexpected — for his contemporaries to grasp hold of immediately. Other composers had written masterpieces in their twenties, but few had been so independent from their models as Mahler. As the composer himself once remarked, Beethoven had started out as a Mozartian composer and Wagner as a follower of Weber and Meyerbeer; but he, Mahler, “had been condemned by a cruel fate to being himself from the start.” To Mahler — as to Beethoven before him — symphony was a form of drama. In later years, he was to speak about the universality of the symphony and the

necessity for it “to embrace everything.” This heaven-storming attitude is already evident in the First Symphony. It accounts in no small part for the difficulties encountered by Mahler during the work’s genesis, both before and after the Budapest premiere in 1889. The first performance of this work was given under the title “Symphonic Poem in Two Parts” (with five movements grouped together into two halves). This title alluded to the existence of a literary or dramatic inspiration, but Mahler did not reveal the source. When the symphony During Mahler’s lifetime, was performed again in 1893, Mahler gave it the majority of his fame a new title, “Titan,” after a novel by a German and fortune came from Romantic writer named Jean Paul (1763-1825). After 1896, however, he removed the title and his great skill as a conarranged the movements as we know them ductor. It took the today (eliminating one). world far longer to Mahler also withdrew the story-like exaccept Mahler’s genius planations of the symphony’s program that he had written — and subsequently disavowed as a composer — and it all such programmatic discussions of his later was well into the second symphonies. Mahler was all too aware of the half of the 20th century dangers inherent in such commentaries, for they rarely do justice to the music and, in addition, before his symphonies they often create a false impression that they became standard fare actually explain what is “happening” during the at concert halls symphony’s music. The so-called “programs” throughout the world. that he did write can perhaps best be understood as attempts on Mahler’s part to verbalize — often after the fact — the kind of emotional sensibilities that the music evoked in his mind while composing. In fact, the real “story” in this symphony is how far Mahler went in expanding conventional symphonic forms to produce a complex and monumental work. The symphony’s first movement utilizes the basic melody of one of Mahler’s early songs, from his Songs of a Wayfarer group. This song, “Ging heut’ morgens übers Feld” (“I Walked This Morning Through the Field”), depicts a happy summer morning with flowers blooming and birds singing. From this, and other writings by Mahler about the symphony, we understand that the entire movement can be seen to describe the gradual awakening of spring. We hear the musical interval of a perfect fourth (Mahler called it “a sound of nature” in the score) — and Cleveland Orchestra Miami 2015-16

everything grows out of this one interval, like a tree from a small seed. Even the call of the cuckoo bird, evoked by the clarinet, is a perfect fourth (although real cuckoos sing an interval closer to a third). The second movement is based on the Austrian country dance called the Ländler, and is one of many Mahlerian movements inspired by this type of dance. A simple tune, rather unassuming in itself, is played with great rhythmic energy, and is soon taken up by the full orchestra, with a large brass section comprising seven horns and four trumpets, and with the tempo marking “Wild.” To Gustav Mahler — Mahler called the third movement by several as to Beethoven before different titles, including “À la pompes funèbres” (“In the Manner of a Funeral March”) and “Funeral him — symphony was March in Callot’s Manner” (Jacques Callot was a a form of drama.

This grotesque funeral march evolves into an openly parodistic section whose unabashedly schmaltzy themes, played by oboes and trumpets, are reminiscent of Eastern European Jewish klezmer folk music. The melodies of two more of Mahler’s Wayfarer songs (“By the Road Stands a Linden Tree” and “My Sweetheart’s Two Blue Eyes”) are juxtaposed against this material, creating an interesting atmosphere of contrast that is at times painfully nostalgic. A more subdued recapitulation of the “Frère Jacques” tune and the klezmer material ends this unusual movement. The fourth-movement Finale, which follows the funeral march without a pause, is the longest and most complex movement in the symphony. Like the last movements of many earlier symphonies, it represents a progression from tragedy to triumph, but here the contrasts between the various emo-

tions are exceptionally polarized. The fabric of this movement includes a lyrical second theme that — as in several of Mahler’s later symphonies — seems to introduce us to a completely different world. There are also exuberant climaxes followed by relapses into despair, plus numerous recurrences of materials from the first movement. Finally, the work ends in a radiant Dmajor coda proclaiming a final victory.

At a Glance Mahler’s first sketches of what was to become the First Symphony probably date from 1884 or 1885. The actual composition took place largely in February and March 1888. The first performance, under the title “Symphonic Poem in Two Parts,” was given on November 20, 1889, in Budapest, with Mahler conducting. At the second performance (Hamburg, October 27, 1893), the work was renamed “Titan, Tone-Poem in the Form of a Symphony.” In 1896, Mahler discarded the second of the work’s five movements (“Blumine”), and the four-movement “Symphony in D major” was performed in Berlin on March 16, 1896. Mahler revised the work further in 1906-07. He conducted the first performances in the United States on December 16, 1909, with the New York Philharmonic.
Cleveland Orchestra Miami 2015-16
This symphony runs about 50 minutes in performance. Mahler scored it for 4 flutes (third and fourth doubling piccolo), 4 oboes (third doubling english horn), 4 clarinets (third doubling bass clarinet and E-flat clarinet, fourth doubling E-flat clarinet), 3 bassoons (third doubling contrabassoon), 7 horns, 4 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, 2 sets of timpani, harp, percussion (triangle, cymbals, bass drum, tam-tam), and strings. Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 was first presented in Cleveland four years before the founding of The Cleveland Orchestra, on December 15, 1914, performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra conducted by Frederick Stock. The Cleveland Orch estra first played it in 1942, under the direction of Artur Rodzinski.

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 semi-staged and staged opera productions. In addition to an unprecedented annual residency in Miami, Franz Welser-Möst 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. Welser-Möst 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 Welser-Möst 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 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 produc-

tions 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 performances 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. at left
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 Orch estra — 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 “There were times when the sheer splendor of the orchestra’s playing made you sit upright in awestruck appreciation. . . . The music was a miracle of expressive grandeur, which Welser-Möst paced with weight and fluidity.” —San Francisco Chronicle

Giancarlo Guerrero Principal Guest Conductor Cleveland Orchestra Miami
The 2015-16 season marks Giancarlo Guerrero’s seventh year as music director of the Nashville Symphony and fifth and final year as principal guest conductor of Cleveland Orchestra Miami. He made his Cleveland Orchestra debut in May 2006. He has led the Cleveland ensemble in concerts in Miami, at Severance Hall, at Blossom, and in the Orchestra’s annual community concert in downtown Cleveland. Mr. Guerrero’s recent seasons with Nashville have featured several world premieres, including a new work by Richard Danielpour, a Béla Fleck banjo concerto, and a Terry Riley concerto for electric violin. Current guest engagements include his debut with the Houston Grand Opera earlier in 2015, and upcoming debuts with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre National de France, and Netherland Philharmonic. He has conducted concerts with many of North America's leading orchestras, including those of Boston, Cincinnati, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Montreal, Philadelphia, Toronto, and Vancouver. Internationally, his engagements have included performances with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Copenhagen Philharmonic, Frankfurt Radio, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Western Australian Symphony Orchestra, and Malaysian Philharmonic. A strong advocate of new music and contemporary composers, Mr. Guerrero has collaborated with and conducted works by some of America’s most respected composers, including John Adams, John Corigliano, Michael Daugherty, Osvaldo Golijov, Jennifer Higdon, Aaron Jay Kernis, and Roberto Sierra. His recordings with the Nashville Symphony include releases of music by Danielpour and Sierra on the Naxos label, and Béla Fleck’s Banjo Concerto on Deutsche Grammophone. Mr. Guerrero, together with composer Aaron Jay Kernis, recently developed and guided the creation of Nashville Symphony’s Composer Lab & Workshop initiative to further foster and promote new American orchestral music. Mr. Guerrero has appeared regularly in Latin America, conducting the São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra and with the Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar in Caracas, Venezuela, where he has also worked with young musicians in the country’s much-lauded El Sistema music education program. Born in Nicaragua and raised in Costa Rica, Giancarlo Guerrero received a bachelor’s degree in percussion from Baylor University and his master’s degree in conducting from Northwestern University. He was music director of Oregon’s Eugene Symphony (2003-09) and served as associate conductor of the Minnesota Orchestra (1999-2004). Prior to his tenure in Minnesota, he was music director of the Táchira Symphony Orchestra in Venezuela.

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 Leins dorf, 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.

“The sellout audience was there for . . . the Ninth Symphony of Beethoven. The Ninth retains an enormous power to be an unforgettable event. . . . And The Cleveland Orchestra and Giancarlo Guerrero gave us a zesty, vibrant traversal of this iconic score. Guerrero’s enthusiasm is plain to see and feel, and his conception of the symphony had a compelling forward motion. “ —Palm Beach ArtsPaper, March 2013
