WELCOME Dear Families,

Welcome to Severance Hall and the 42nd season of Cleveland Orchestra rchestra Family Concerts! Whether this is your first time or you are a return visitor, wee know you’ll enjoy erance Hall. The these entertaining and engaging orchestra concerts in awesome Severance ed “Key Concerts” first Family Concerts were performed in 1970 and were originally called because they “opened the door” to classical music for young people and families. Our season, sponsored through the generosity of The Giant Eagle Foundation, begins with Tchaikovsky Discovers America on October 6. Music and action are magically interwoven as actors from special guest Classical Kids Live! and The Cleveland Orchestra recreate historical scenes from this great composer’s life. This story-concert focuses on his arrival in New York for the opening of Carnegie Hall and his trip to Niagara Falls. A surprise encounter with a young American girl reveals much about Tchaikovsky. As with every one of our Family Concerts, the afternoon begins with an hour of fun-filled pre-concert activities — including Instrument Discovery (where kids can try out different instruments to discover their inner musician!). The Family Concert season continues on Sunday afternoon, April 6, at 3 p.m., with The Mozart Experience featuring special guests Magic Circle Mime Co. In this storyline concert, a mischievous street musician is caught playing the orchestra’s piano! Much to her surprise, the conductor offers her the chance to “be Mozart” for the afternoon. The program includes excerpts from some of Mozart’s most famous works — including “A Little Night Music,” the “Jupiter” Symphony, and more. The Family Concert season ends on Friday, May 16, at 7:30 p.m. with a special mystery whodunit. Indeed, the evening begins with shocking news from Severance Hall — The Composer Is Dead. Where were the violins on the night in question? Is the trumpet protesting a bit too boisterously? Everyone seems to have a motive — and an alibi. All the unusual suspects are interrogated in this concert based on the book by Lemony Snicket, with music by Nathaniel Stookey, who joins us as special guest and narrator. After each concert this season, stop by the Cleveland Orchestra Store to check out the terrific collection of books and CDs, gift items, and logo-wear for kids and adults. We are delighted to welcome your family to Severance Hall throughout this season as you create new traditions and enduring family memories. Remember to make music a part of your life every day!

Joan Katz Napoli, Director Education & Community Programs The Cleveland Orchestra Severance Hall 2013-14

Welcome

I N P E R F O R M A N C E S A T H O M E and around the globe, The Cleveland Orchestra remains Northeast Ohio’s most visible international ambassador and one of the most sought-after performing ensembles in the world. In concerts at its winter home at Severance Hall and at each summer’s Blossom Music Festival, in residencies from Miami to Vienna, and on tour around the world, The Cleveland Orchestra sets standards of artistic excellence, creative programming, and active community engagement. The 2013-14 season marks Franz Welser-Möst’s twelfth

year leading the ensemble, with a commitment extending to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018. This artistic partnership continues to move the ensemble forward through a series of new and ongoing initiatives, including: creative new artistic collaborations with arts institutions in Northeast Ohio, including staged works, concerts, and chamber music performances; expansion of education and community programs in Northeast Ohio to feature music as an integral and regular part

of everyday life for more people, including the launch in the spring of 2013 of an “At Home” neighborhood residency program that brings The Cleveland Orchestra to a single neighborhood or town for an intensive week of special activities and performances, as well as the broadening of the Orchestra’s ongoing education and community engagement initiatives to include Make Music!, a program of active and participatory experience and learning; a variety of new concert offerings (including KeyBank Fridays@7 and Celebrity Series at Severance Hall as well as movie, themed, and family presentations at Blossom) to play more music for more people; a concentrated and successful effort to develop future generations of audiences for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio, through research, targeted discounts, social media promotion, and student ticket programs, with demonstrated results at Severance Hall and Blossom; continuing and expanded educational partnerships with schools, colleges, and universities across Northeast Ohio and beyond; the establishment of residencies around the world, fostering creative artistic growth and an expanded financial base — including ongoing residencies at the Vienna Musikverein (the first of its kind by an American orchestra) and in Florida under the name Cleveland Orchestra Miami (featuring an

Severance Hall 2013-14

annual series of concerts and community activities, coupled with educational presentations and collaborations based on successful programs pioneered at home in Cleveland); the return of ballet as a regular part of the Orchestra’s presentations, featuring ongoing collaborations with Chicago’s Joffrey Ballet; concert tours from coast to coast in the United States, including regular appearances at Carnegie Hall; ongoing recording activities, including new releases under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst, Mitsuko Uchida, and Pierre Boulez, as well as a series of acclaimed DVD concert presentations of symphonies by Anton Bruckner led by Welser-Möst. The Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918 by a group of local citizens intent on creating an ensemble worthy of joining America’s ranks of major symphony orchestras. Over the ensuing decades, the Orchestra quickly grew from a fine regional organization to being one of the most admired symphony orchestras in the world. The opening in 1931 of Severance Hall as the Orchestra’s home brought a special pride to the ensemble and its hometown, as well as providing an enviable and intimate acoustic environment in which to develop and refine the Orchestra’s artistry. Year-round performances became a reality in 1968 with the opening of Blossom Music Center, one of the most beautiful and acoustically admired outdoor concert facilities in the United States.

William Eddins William Eddins is beginning his ninth season as music director of Canada’s Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. He earlier completed five years as principal guest conductor of the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra in Dublin, Ireland. He made his Cleveland Orchestra debut in 2012, leading presentations of two different Charlie Chaplin films at Sevearnce Hall, and returned to lead the Orchestra’s annual free downtown concert on Public Square in July 2013. Bill Eddins has been playing piano since the age of five, when his parents bought a Wurlitzer Grand piano at a garage sale. He started conducting during his sophomore year at the Eastman School of Music, and then spent much of the 1980s trying to decide whether to pursue a career in conducting or piano. The quandary was answered for him when he realized that the life of a poor, starving pianist was for the birds. In 1989, Mr. Eddins chose to study conducting with Daniel Lewis at the University of Southern California, after which he landed assistant conductor posts with both the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Minnesota Orchestra. As a guest conductor, he has appeared with orchestras across North America, Europe, and Australia. He also appears on occasion as a pianist, some

times conducting from the keyboard and/or as a chamber musician. Mr. Eddins is committed to bringing classical music to the greater public. He has started a podcast — Classical Connections — which is dedicated to exploring the history of classical music and highlights live chamber music performances in which Mr. Eddins has taken part. He has also produced a solo piano album titled Bad Boys, Volume I, which features Beethoven’s “Hammerklavier” Sonata and Albright’s “Nightmare Fantasy Rag.” Bill Eddins has many non-musical hobbies, including cooking, eating, discussing food, and planning dinner parties. He is also quite fond of biking, tennis, reading, and pinball. However, due to pianistic injury paranoia, his days in the martial arts are long over. A native of Buffalo, New York, Mr. Eddins currently resides in Minneapolis with his wife, Jen, a clarinetist, and their two boys, Raef and Riley.

THE MOZART EXPERIENCE Program/Synopsis

A mischievous street musician is caught playing the orchestra’s grand piano. Much to her surprise, the conductor does not scold her, but instead offers her the chance to “be Mozart” for this program about one of the most famous composers of all time. The street musician and her prankster companion must now confront dilemmas and opportunities similar to those faced by Mozart. In doing so, the audience experiences Mozart’s life as a very human story — as well as a great musical adventure.

The Mozart Experience

The Cleveland Orchestra

A portrait of Wolfgang Amadè Mozart, painted in 1819 by Barbara Kraft, based on paintings created during the composer’s lifetime

‘‘

I cannot write in verse, for I am no poet. I cannot arrange the parts of speech with such art as to produce effects of light and shade, for I am no painter. Even by signs and gestures I cannot express my thoughts and feelings, for I am no dancer. But I can do so by means of sound, for I am a musician.

‘‘

—W. A. Mozart, November 1777

Family Concert: May 16

Composer’s Note I hope I’m not giving away too much by saying that The Composer Is Dead ends with a funeral march. . . . Classical composers have always had a preoccupation with death, partly because we are human, like you, partly because we grapple with the mysteries of the universe, partly because death sells recordings and always has. . . . Someday you’ll be able to tell your grandchildren that you appreciated a living composer before that living composer became, like all composers, dead. —Nathaniel Stookey

Librettist’s Note I have been asked if I might say a word or two about the text of The Composer Is Dead, and the one or two words are “Boo hoo.” The story — which, as far as I know, is absolutely true — is so heartbreakingly glum that I cannot imagine that you will be able to listen to it without dabbing at your tears with a nearby ne handkerchief. — —Lemony Snicket

The Composer Is Dead

The Cleveland Orchestra

Nathaniel Stookey COMPOSER-NARRATOR At age 17, Nathaniel Stookey was the youngest composer ever commissioned for the San Francisco Symphony’s New and Unusual Music series. His compositions have since been programmed and commissioned by many of the world’s great orchestras, including Chicago, Los Angeles, Toronto, and Washington D.C., and the Orchestra of St. Luke’s at Carnegie Hall in New York. In 1993, upon graduating from the University of California at Berkeley, Mr. Stookey was awarded the first Hallé Orchestra Composition Fellowship. He served as resident composer (1993-96) and produced a wide range of works, including the gamelan-inspired Tame Me and Colliding with Chris, which was a London Times Critic’s Choice in 1995. In 1999, Mr. Stookey’s concerto for two violins and string orchestra, called Double, was the millennium commission for Music in the Round’s Festival of 999 Years of Music in Sheffield, England. In 2000, Nathaniel Stookey received a three-year New Residencies Award from Meet the Composer to servee as composer-in-residence with the North Carolina Symphony, the Ciompi Quartet, and NPR affiliate WUNCFM, while simultaneously completing a doctorate at Duke University. That partnership drew national press attention with over sixty performances of five new and three existing works. In 2006, the San Francisco Symphony commissioned, premiered, and recorded The Composer Is Dead, a sinister guide to the orchestra with narration by Lemony Snicket. The work was subsequently performed twice for back-to-back sellout crowds at the Toronto Symphony Orchestra’s h O h t ’ New N CreC ations Festival and has since been performed around the world. In 2005, Albany Records released Mr. Stookey’s Music for Strings (1992-2002), featuring the Ciompi Quartet and the strings of the North Carolina Symphony. The next year, the Chamber Music Partnership released Fling, for flute and string quartet, as part of its live anthology San Francisco Premieres. Mr. Stookey’s orchestral work Mahlerwerk was created as a tribute to composer Gustav Mahler and premiered before an audience of 10,000 in Hamburg as part of Mahler centennial celebrations. Mr. Stookey’s most recent work, String Quartet No. 3: The Mezzanine, was premiered by the Kronos Quartet in 2013. Nathaniel Stookey’s music is published by Associated Music Publishers, with four early works available in print from PRB Productions.

Lemony Snicket AUTHOR Mr. Snicket rarely appears in public, but when he does, it is best to avoid him. Fortunately, space at his events is limited. Lemony Snicket was born before you were, and is likely to die before you as well. His family has roots in a part of the country that is now underwater, and his childhood was spent in the relative splendor of the Snicket Villa, which has since become a factory, a fortress, and a pharmacy and is now, alas, someone else’s villa. To the untrained eye, Mr. Snicket’s hometown would not appear to be filled with secrets. Untrained eyes have been wrong before. The aftermath of the scandal was swift, brutal, and inaccurately reported in the periodicals of the day. It is true, however, that Mr. Snicket was stripped of several awards by the reigning authorities, including Honorable Mention, the Grey Ribbon, and First Runner Up. The High Council reached a convenient if questionable verdict and Mr. Snicket found himself in exile. Though his formal training was chiefly in rhetorical analysis, he has spent the last several eras researching the travails of the Baudelaire orphans. This project, published serially by HarperCollins, has taken him to the scenes of numerous crimes, often during the offseason. Eternally pursued and insatiably inquisitive, a hermit and a nomad, Mr. Snicket wishes you nothing but the best. Due to the world-wide web of conspiracy which surrounds him, Mr. Snicket often communicates with the general public through his representative, Daniel Handler. Mr. Handler has had a relatively uneventful life, and is the author of three books for adults, The Basic Eight, Watch Your Mouth, and Adverbs, none of which are anywhere near as dreadful as Mr. Snicket’s. Like Mr. Snicket, Mr. Handler wishes you nothing but the best. Mr. Snicket’s investigations usually prevent him from being anywhere near any electronic equipment. However, if you feel you must send word to him, you can write him via email at: lsnicket@harpercollins.com. Or you can also visit his website at www.lemonysnicket.com. But why would you?

Musical Words: A Glossary

We know that some musical terms may be new to you and your family. milyy. This glossary of words can help you talk about the music you hear at each Cleveland Orchestra Family Concert. Can you locate each instrument family on stage? Brass — instruments whose sound is produced by blowing into a cup-shaped mouthpiece Percussion — instruments whose sound is produced by shaking, striking together, or hitting with hands or mallets Strings — instruments whose sound is produced by plucking or by pulling a bow across stretched strings; this is the largest family in the orchestra Woodwinds — instruments whose sound is produced by a vibrating column of air enclosed in a pipe or tube; except for the flute and piccolo, the vibration is produced by blowing against a single or double “reed”

Can you hear when these different dynamics occur during the performance? Dynamics — variations in how loud or soft the music is

Here are some Italian words commonly used to describe different dynamics: Crescendo — gradually louder Diminuendo — gradually softer Forte — loud Fortissimo — very loud Piano — soft Pianissimo — very soft

Can you pick out the following musical elements in each piece? Rhythm — a combination of notes of varying lengths Beat — the pulse in music (when you tap your foot to music, you are “feeling the beat”) Meter — the organization of beats into repeating patterns, such as double (ONE two ONE two) or triple (ONE two three ONE two three) groupings or “measures” Syncopation — a shift of accent from the first beat of a measure to a beat that is not normally accented; this rhythm technique gives energy and excitement to the music Tempo — indicates how fast (or slow) the music is going; the speed of the beat Accelerando — getting faster; the word “accelerate” comes from this Italian word Adagio — slow, relaxed in tempo Allegro — fast, brisk Ritardando — slowing down the music Staccato — detached, very short sounds

LATE SEATING As a courtesy to the audience members and musicians in the hall, late-arriving patrons are asked to wait quietly until the first convenient break in the program, when ushers will help you to your seats. These seating breaks are at the discretion of the House Manager in consultation with the performing artists. PAGERS, CELL PHONES, AND WRISTWATCH ALARMS All electronic and mechanical devices — including pagers, cellular telephones, and wristwatch alarms — must be turned off while in the concert hall.

of the world’s most beautiful concert halls, Severance Hall has been home to The Cleveland Orchestra since its opening on February 5, 1931. After that first concert, a Cleveland newspaper editorial stated: “We believe that Mr. Severance intended to build a temple to music, and not a temple to wealth; and we believe it is his intention that all music lovers should be welcome there.” John Long Severance (president of the Musical Arts Association, 1921-1936) and his wife, Elisabeth, donated the funds necessary to erect this magnificent building. Designed by Walker & Weeks, its elegant Georgian exterior was constructed to harmonize with the classical architecture of other prominent buildings in the University Circle area. The interior of the building reflects a combination of design styles, including Art Deco, Egyptian Revival, Classicism, and Modernism. An extensive renovation, restoration, and expansion of the facility was completed in January 2000. HAILED AS ONE

PHOTOGRAPHY, VIDEOGRAPHY, AND RECORDING At all times, cameras and tape recorders must be kept outside the concert hall. For the safety of guests and performers, photography and videography are strictly prohibited. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY Contact an usher or a member of house staff if you require medical assistance. Emergency exits are clearly marked throughout the building. Ushers and house staff will provide instructions in the event of an emergency. AGE RESTRICTIONS Regardless of age, each person must have a ticket and be able to sit quietly in a seat throughout the performance. Season subscription concerts are not recommended for children under the age of 8. However, there are several age-appropriate series designed specifically for children and youth, including: Musical Rainbows, (recommended for children 3 to 6 years old), and Family Concerts (for ages 7 and older). CRYING CHILD? We understand that sometimes young children cannot sit quietly through a one-hour concert and need to get up and move or talk freely. For the listening enjoyment of those around you, we respectfully ask that you and your active child step out of the concert hall to stretch your legs (and baby’s lungs). An usher will gladly help you return to your seat at an appropriate break.
