Dear Friends, Welcome to the final concert weekend of this Cleveland Orchestra Miami season. It’s been a year filled with great symphonies, colorful concertos, wonderful education programs, gifted guest artists, and community presentations that have demonstrated the power of music to inspire audiences of all ages — performed with the supreme virtuosity that is The Cleveland Orchestra’s calling card everywhere it plays. It is a magnificent honor and pleasure to be sharing this great orchestra with South Florida, its home away from home. Earlier this month, we announced next year’s tenth season of concerts here at the Arsht Center. Four weekends of concerts will be presented, including a special tenth anniversary gala concert with famed soprano Renée Fleming as soloist. The Orchestra’s music director, Franz Welser-Möst, and Cleveland Orchestra Miami principal guest conductor Giancarlo Guerrero once again share the podium, with two weekends each. Musical highlights include symphonies by Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, Mahler, and Mozart, plus concertos with pianist Leif Ove Andsnes, cellists Johannes Moser and Mark Kosower, and violinist William Preucil. The gala will raise funds to continue Cleveland Orchestra Miami’s ongoing musical, educational, and community work, while also celebrating this city as a cultural hub and destination, and honoring the Miami community for your extraordinary support in this endeavor.
Over the past nine years, The Cleveland Orchestra has developed a special relationship with our community through performing vibrant programming and engaging education presentations, establishing themselves as an integral part of the cultural fabric of Miami-Dade. I am proud of the many ways that Cleveland Orchestra Miami makes a difference in South Florida. And we owe a debt of gratitude to the hundreds of donors listed on the following pages, who commit nearly $3 million each year to support Cleveland Orchestra concerts and community programs presented here in Miami. Because of your generosity, Cleveland Orchestra Miami adds to the artistic vitality of our great city by presenting this great orchestra and sharing its music and education and community offerings with all of South Florida. Thank you. Best regards,
Jeffrey Feldman

Franz Welser-Möst Music Director Kelvin Smith Family Endowed Chair The Cleveland Orchestra
The 2014-15 season marks Franz Welser-Möst’s thirteenth year as music director of The Cleveland Orchestra, with the future of this acclaimed partnership now extending into the next decade. Under his direction, the Orchestra is hailed for its continuing artistic excellence, is broadening and enhancing its community programming at home in Northeast Ohio, is presented in a series of ongoing residencies in the United States and Europe, and has re-established itself as an important operatic ensemble. Under Mr. Welser-Möst’s leadership, The Cleveland Orchestra has established a recurring biennial residency in Vienna at the famed Musikverein concert hall and appears regularly at Switzerland’s Lucerne Festival. Together, they have also appeared in residence at Suntory Hall in Tokyo, Japan, and at the Salzburg Festival, where a 2008 residency included five sold-out performances of a staged production of Dvořák’s opera Rusalka. In the United States, an annual multi-week Cleveland Orchestra residency in Florida was inaugurated in 2007 featuring an array of subscription concerts, education programs, and community presentations that touch the lives of over 20,000 children, students, and adults from across South Florida each year. With a strong commitment to music education, Franz Welser-Möst has taken The Cleveland Orchestra back into public schools at home in collaboration with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District and inaugurated partnerships with the University of Miami and Indiana University. He has championed new programs, including a series of “At Home” neighborhood residencies and concerts in Cleveland designed to bring the Orchestra and citizens together in new ways. Franz Welser-Möst has led annual opera performances during his tenure in Cleveland, re-establishing the Orchestra as an important operatic ensemble. Following six seasons of opera-in-concert presentations, he brought fully staged opera back to Severance Hall with a three-season cycle of Zurich Opera productions of the Mozart-Da Ponte operas. He led an innovative made-for-Cleveland production of Leoš Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen at Severance Hall. They will present performances of Richard Strauss’s Daphne in May 2015. 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 Gold Medal from the Upper Austrian government for his work as a cultural ambassador, a Decoration of Honor from the Republic of Austria for his artistic achievements, and the Kilenyi Medal from the Bruckner Society of America.

Giancarlo Guerrero Principal Guest Conductor Cleveland Orchestra Miami
The 2014-15 season marks Giancarlo Guerrero’s sixth year as music director of the Nashville Symphony and fourth 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. Recent and upcoming guest engagements include his debut with the Houston Grand Opera in 2015, leading The Cleveland Orchestra in a Midwest Tour during the first half of 2014, and appearances in North America with the orchestras of Boston, Cincinnati, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Toronto, and Vancouver. Internationally, he is increasingly active in Europe, where recent and upcoming engagements include performances with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Copenhagen Philharmonic, Frankfurt Radio Symphony, Orchestre National de France, London Philharmonic Orchestra, and Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin. A fervent 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 first album with the Nashville Symphony, on Naxos, featured works by Daugherty and won three 2011 Grammy Awards. Two more albums have been released, of music by Argentine legend Astor Piazzolla and by American composer Joseph Schwantner; the latter recording received a Grammy Award in 2012. 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.

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. In concerts at its winter home at Severance Hall and at each summer’s Blossom Music Festival, in ongoing residencies from Miami to Vienna, and on tour around the world, the Orchestra sets the highest standards of artistic excellence, creative programming, and community engagement. The Cleveland Orchestra has a long and distinguished recording and broadcast history. A series of DVD and CD recordings under the direction of Mr. WelserMöst 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. Year-round performances became a reality with the first festival season at Blossom Music Center in 1968, presented at an award-winning, purpose-built outdoor facility located just south of the Cleveland metropolitan area near Akron, Ohio. Today, touring, residencies, radio broadcasts, and recordings provide access to the Orchestra’s music-making to a broad and loyal constituency around the world.

Cleveland Orchestra musicians led by assistant conductor Brett Mitchell reading through new compositions by Frost School of Music students on March 5.
Frost School students’ works given world premiere performances by Cleveland Orchestra musicians in Concert Preludes on March 27 and 28 In early March 2015, members of The Cleveland Orchestra participated in a reading session of five new works by composition students of the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music. From this, two compositions, Phrygia by David Mendoza and Barnyard Glass by Shawn Crouch, are being given public performances, with their world premieres being presented with this weekend’s Cocnert Preludes on March 27 and 28. Shawn Crouch (b. 1977) has studied composition with Martin Bresnick, Ezra Laderman, Lansing McLoskey and Malcolm Peyton. He received a bachelor of music degree in composition from the New England Conservatory with honors and distinction in performance, and his master of music degree in composition from the Yale School of Music. He is currently a doctoral student in composition at the Frost School of Music. David Mendoza (b. 1979) started to compose at the age of sixteen. He took his first piano lesson at age seven, and began learning viola at age ten. He has studied composition at Florida State University, Florida International University, and the University of Miami. The 2014-15 season marks the ninth year of collaborative partnership between The Cleveland Orchestra and the Frost School of Music through the auspices of Cleveland Orchestra Miami. Each year, the program offers masterclasses, side-by-side rehearsals, and other opportunities for learning and mentoring. Frost School of Music is one of many education and community partners from across South Florida that enable Cleveland Orchestra Miami to offer a wide range of education and community events and presentations for students of all ages each season.

INTRODUCING THE CONCERT
Fate &Fortune, Lust &Roasted Swans C A R L O R F F ’ S C A R M I N A B U R A N A is a big piece of bold power and hard punch. It has been a popular hit with audiences around the world since its premiere in 1936. Its music and rhythms and words range far and wide, from boisterous energy to velvety smoothness, from jerky spontaneity to harmonious delight. All in a wonderfully modern-ish exploration of a Medieval set of texts that prove, again and again, that however much times change, many aspects of life remain on the same circular path, ground by fortune’s wheel — the seasons of the year, the seasons of love, from birth to death, and on and on we go, spiraling through the universe. Here we find the big and the small, with everyday parts of life, from drinking to sexual longing, from food to passion, meaningful and meaningless. With Fate in constant, languorous pursuit, always catching us in the end, between the miseries and joys of everyday life. To open this evening, Cleveland Orchestra Miami princpial guest conductor Giancarlo Guerrero leads a contrasting work for chorus and orchestra (and countertenor) written by Leonard Bernstein in 1965. Chichester Psalms is as calming and devout as Carmina Burana is bawdy and boisterous. Bernstein’s texts of prayer are filled with joy and certainty — far beyond the neverending annual cycles of Carmina Burana. Between these two works, or embedded within them, together, is humanity’s realm on earth, between the everyday and ever-life, the biological and the Biblical. Sit back (or lean forward and into), ponder and enjoy.

Chichester Psalms
(for mixed choir, soloist, and orchestra) composed 1965
These psalms are a simple and modest affair, Tonal and tuneful and somewhat square, Certain to sicken a stout John Cager With its tonics and triads in E-flat major. But there it stands — the result of my pondering, Two long months of avant-garde wandering — My youngest child, old-fashioned and sweet. And he stands on his own two tonal feet. LEONARD BERNSTEIN,

a Renaissance man among 20thcentury musicians, penned these lines about his Chichester Psalms for the New York Times as part of a poetic evaluation of the fifteen-month sabbatical he took from conducting in 1964-1965. Bernstein considered several compositional projects during his year away from the rigorous duties as music director of the New York Philharmonic, including a theater piece based on Thornton Wilder’s The Skin of Our Teeth, but it was this set of Psalms for choir and orchestra that was the principal musical offspring of this hiatus in his public conducting career. The work was commissioned by Walter Hussey, Dean of Chichester Cathedral, for the Three Choirs Festival of 1965. For years, the musicians of Chichester have joined with those of the neighboring cathedrals of Salisbury and Winchester to produce this Festival, one of the outstanding events on England’s summer calendar of musical activities. The musical traditions of these great cathedrals extend far back into history, to at least the time when the eminent early-17th-century keyboard artist and composer Thomas Weelkes occupied the organ bench at Chichester. The mood of the Chichester Psalms is humble and serene, unlike the powerful but despairing nature of Bernstein’s “Kaddish” Symphony from 1963, composed shortly before this work. Both use traditional texts sung in Hebrew, but the message of the Psalms is one of humanity’s closeness to God rather than the one portrayed within the “Kaddish,” of frustration, anger, and shaken faith engendered by God’s inexplicable acts. It is indicative that the composer chose the 23rd Psalm (“The Lord is my Shepherd”) for the second movement, the heart of the Chichester Psalms. The first movement opens with a broad chorale (“Awake,

At a Glance Bernstein composed his Chichester Psalms in 1965 on commission from Walter Hussey, dean of Chichester Cathedral, for the Three Choirs Festival held each year in southern England. The work was premiered at a concert of the New York Philharmonic on July 15, 1965, in New York, conducted by the composer, and subsequently presented later that summer at the Three Choirs Festival. This work runs about 20 minutes in performance. Bernstein scored it for an ensemble of 3 trumpets and 3 trombones, timpani, percussion (snare drum, bass drum, 3 bongos, tambourine, cymbals, suspended cymbal, triangle, woodblock, temple blocks, whip, rasp, chimes, glockenspiel, xylophone), 2 harps, and strings, plus mixed chorus and sopranovoice soloist. The Cleveland Orchestra first performed Chichester Psalms in March 1966 under the direction of Robert Shaw.
psaltery and harp!”) that serves as the structural buttress for the entire composition. It is transformed, in quick tempo, to open and close the dance-like main body of this movement (in 7/4 meter), and it reappears at the beginning and end of the finale in majestic settings. The bounding, sprung rhythms and exuberant energy of the fast music of the first movement are a perfect embodiment of the text, “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.” The touching simplicity of the second movement recalls the pastoral song of David, the young shepherd. The sopranos take over the melody from the soloist, and carry it forward in gentle but strict imitation. Suddenly, threatening music is hurled forth by the men’s voices punctuated by slashing chords from the orchestra. They challenge the serene strains of peace with the harsh question, “Why do the nations rage?” The quiet song, temporarily banished, reappears in the high voices, like calming oil on troubled waters. The hard tones subside, and once again the soloist, evoking a shepherd, sings and strums upon his harp. As a coda, the mechanistic sounds of conflict, soft but worrisome, enter once again, as if blown on an ill wind from some distant land. The third-movement finale begins with an instrumental prelude based on the stern chorale that opened the work. Muted solo trumpet and harp recall a phrase from the shepherd’s song to mark the central point of this introductory strain. The chorus intones a gently swaying theme on the text, “Lord, Lord, My heart is not haughty.” Chichester Psalms concludes with yet another adaptation of the recurring chorale, here given new words and a deeper meaning. This closing sentiment is not only the central message of the work — and the linchpin of its composer’s philosophy of life — but also is a thought that all can hold dear in troubled times: Behold how good, And how pleasant it is, For brethren to dwell Together in unity. —Richard E.

I T W A S E A R LY I N T H E 1 9 T H C E N T U R Y that the Middle Ages began exerting a certain fascination on modern people. Although the centuries between the fall of Rome and the Renaissance suffered no shortage of great scientists, artists, and philosophers, the young Romantic poets and painters saw in those middle times an alternative to the cool, rational spirit of the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution. They turned to the Gothic churches that stood all around them — many in a state of picturesque ruin — and conjured up an age of lusty monks and bawdy abbesses, a primitive “dark age” perhaps, but one unafraid to reach for both loft y ecstasies of the spirit and animal pleasures of the senses. After those poets and painters came cooler heads, scholarly medievalists concerned with cataloging, describing, and publishing works of art from that earlier period. It is to one of these, Johann Andreas Schmeller, that we owe the publication in 1847 of an important collection of 12th-century Latin and Old German secular poems, preserved in manuscript in an abbey in Benediktbeuren, near Munich. Schmeller gave them the title “Songs of Beuren” — in Latin, Carmina Burana. Today, the Middle Ages still conjure up vivid images. But to the fragrance of incense and wine, the 20th century has added the stench of warfare and pestilence. Chaucer gives way to Brueghel; our distant ancestors seem to have hungrily snatched their pleasures from the jaws of sickness and death. The musical expression of this idea crystallized suddenly in Frankfurt on June 8, 1937, at the first performance of Carmina Burana, a stunningly original setting of some of the poems from that manuscript, composed by a virtually unknown 41-year-old musician and teacher named Carl Orff. Subtitled Cantiones profanae, cantoribus et choris cantandae comitantibus instrumentis atque imaginibus magicis (“Worldly songs, performed by singers and chorus accompanied by instruments and magical representations”), this stage spectacle with dancing and music aimed to induce profound emotions in the listener by the simplest, most easily understood musical means. How well it succeeded may be judged by three facts. Unlike many ground-breaking new works, Carmina Burana was

At a Glance Orff composed Carmina Burana in 1935-36. The work was premiered on June 8, 1937, in a staged performance (with sets and costumes) at the Frankfurt Opera, conducted by Bertil Wetzelberger. The first performance in the United States took place on January 10, 1954, in San Francisco. Carmina Burana runs about one hour in performance. Orff scored it for an orchestra of 3 flutes (second and third doubling piccolo), 3 oboes (third doubling english horn), 3 clarinets (third doubling piccolo clarinet in E-flat), bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion (3 glockenspiels, xylophone, castanets, ratchet, jingles, 2 antique cymbals, 4 cymbals, tamtam, 3 bells, tubular bells, tambourine, 2 side drums, bass drum), 2 pianos, celesta, and strings, plus soprano, tenor, and baritone soloists, children’s chorus, and mixed chorus.

cheered at its premiere. Since then, many sophisticated musicians have denounced it as primitive and vulgar. And, lastly, Hollywood immediately seized Orff ’s new idiom as the musical accompaniment to scenes of barbaric hedonism and splendor — to the point where we must now remind ourselves that what we are hearing in Carmina Burana is not another product of the MGM editing room but the real thing, the original. This is, in fact, the same Carl Orff who forever altered the way music is taught to young children by inventing percussion instruments that they could play before they developed skill at the keyboard; more importantly, he insisted that music, dance, speech, and other modes of expression be taught together. (Which is to say that, perhaps, Carmina Burana should be staged more often as a theatrical work, and not left almost completely to the musical confines of concert halls and home stereos.) His medieval people are child-like in their whims and passions, and in their helplessness before powers greater than themselves. Percussion instruments, a prominent feature of both medieval music and the Orff classroom, loom large in the scoring of Carmina Burana as well. Appropriately for a work inspired by the Middle Ages, Orff ’s spectacle-cantata forms a triptych — three scenes of medieval life: In Springtime, In the Tavern, and at the Court of Love — framed on each side by an ode to “Fortuna” or Fate, the capricious force that people in the pre-technological age knew and understood very well. The outburst of full orchestra and chorus that opens the work is steeped in terror and resignation. Orff uses repetition and driving rhythms — elements that repelled some of his first listeners, but that sound familiar enough in our age of musical minimalism (and maximalism) — to convey the inexorable grinding of Fortune’s wheel. The people “suffer” in the word’s original sense — they yield to the inevitable, they endure. Their reward arrives “In Springtime,” here celebrated first with the undulating sensuality of Gregorian chant, anchored by single pedal notes in the orchestra, punctuated by taps of percussion. But then the chorus returns in a mood to celebrate, ushering in a giddy outdoor festival full of dancers, saucy and suggestive comments, and tunes more like German folksong than liturgical chant. At this party, each musical number is wilder and more abandoned than the previous one. “In the Tavern,” however, the pictures are different — a medieval “angry young man,” alienated, rootless, living for About the Music

vice; a beautiful bird roasted black for men’s hungry mouths; a smarmy hustler-Abbot, living on others’ misfortunes; and a chorus of desperate men drinking to forget. All singing in accents ranging from stark anguish to gloating and even a sarcastic parody of an operetta chorus. What a relief to leave that bitter place for “The Court of Love”! Even here, though, some longings go unrequited, and dark orchestral colors conjure up the lonely corners where the solitary bemoan their fate. Gradually, however, the music grows in brightness and energy, culminating in the ecstatic musings of the maiden drawn toward love; here Orff seems to forget about the Middle Ages entirely, turning instead to Richard Strauss or even Sergei Rachmaninoff for a suitable, smooth, and sensuous musical idiom. (What is a children’s chorus doing amid such erotic goings-on? Teacher Orff invokes the spontaneity of children, and the childlike delight we so-called “adults” should take in love.) Eventually, the love section’s closing hymn so melds the erotic and the divine that one can hardly tell which is which. And then, amid all this joy, the fearsome memento mori stands once again at the door. The return of the chorus “O Fortuna” reminds us that, whatever our desires or pretensions, implacable Fate always awaits us. —David Wright © 2015

Cleveland Orchestra Chorus Robert Porco, Director Lisa Wong, Assistant Director
Now in its seventh decade, the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus is one of the few professionally-trained, all-volunteer choruses sponsored by a major American orchestra. Founded at the request of George Szell in 1952 and following in the footsteps of a number of earlier community choruses, the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus has sung in hundreds of performances at home, at Carnegie Hall, and on tour, as well as in more than a dozen recordings. Its members hail from nearly fifty Cleveland-area communities and together contribute thousands of volunteer hours to the Orchestra’s music-making each year.

Miami Children’s Chorus Timothy A. Sharp, Director Alan G. Ngim, Principal Accompanist
Established in 1965, the award-winning Miami Children’s Chorus (MCC) is celebrating its 50th anniversary during the 2014-15 season. MCC offers the children of Miami-Dade County the opportunity to study and perform standard and experimental forms of choral music. Through this study the children learn musicianship, vocal technique, discipline, commitment, and the rewards of sustained and dedicated effort. In weekly rehearsals the children also learn that there is no greater result than giving their personal best. MCC can be heard singing background on recordings of Raul di Blasio, Gloria Estefan, Christian Castro, and the Frost Chorale. They appeared with Queen Latifah as part of the pre-game show for Super Bowl XLIV in 2010 and perform regularly throughout South Florida, partnering with many organizations including the Florida Grand Opera. The group has toured nationally and internationally, performing in Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Czech Republic, Italy, the United Kingdom, and throughout the United States, including New York’s Carnegie Hall.
