Perspectivesfrom the Executive Director October 2014 Welcome to the opening weeks of 2014-15, our 97th season.

I’m happy to report that since the conclusion of last season at the end of May, many exciting things have happened with The Cleveland Orchestra.

On October 2, we released the wonderful news that Franz Wel­ser-Möst’s ongoing commitment as Music Director of The Cleveland Orchestra has been extended through 2021-22. With this extension, Franz’s tenure will reach at least 20 years, extending four years beyond the Orchestra’s Centennial season in 2017-18. In making the announcement, Board President Dennis W. LaBarre said: “There’s no more successful artistic partnership in the world today thanks to Franz’s extraordinary vision and leadership. I am confident that the future will bring even greater success.”

The extension of Franz’s tenure allows us to accelerate the pace of institutional change, with new audiences, new repertoire, and new types of concert and opera presentations. No less important is the fact that Franz’s long-term commitment to Cleveland is central to fulfilling our expanding education and community engagement mission. Additional details from this announcement can be read on pages 25-26 of this program book.

The announcement of Franz’s contract extension came on the heels of an extraordinarily successful three-week European Tour in September. Franz and the Orchestra performed 13 concerts in 7 cities — including 2 live and 2 delayed radio broadcasts, and 2 live television broadcasts that will later be released on DVD. You can read excerpts from the glowing reviews on page 27 in this program book. And while Franz and the Orchestra routinely garner rave reviews, on this tour the critical commentary crossed a threshold to where the Orchestra was recognized not only for its legendary precision and clarity, but its elegance, sophistication, brilliance, and flair.

The Orchestra had a very busy summer in Northeast Ohio with a full schedule of performances at Blossom including a number of record-breaking nights for audience numbers and ticket sales. In fact, the 2014 Blossom Music Festival broke all previous records for average attendance per concert, hitting just over 7,000 for the first time ever.

The summer’s key innovation was the introduction of a new series of concerts at Severance Hall on Friday evenings under the banner “Summers@Severance.” Modeled after our Fridays@7 concerts during the regular season, Summers@Severance placed the Orchestra and Severance Hall at the center of University Circle’s lively revitalization as a mixed-use entertainment district, busy and bustling throughout the year.

A final point of the ongoing good news from recent months, on June 30 we closed the books on fiscal 2013/14 and wrapped up a very successful fundraising year, thanks to our many generous donors. We expect to announce very good results when the audited financial statements are completed later this autumn and presented at our Annual Meeting in early December. Many thanks to each and every contributor who helped bring last fiscal year to a successful conclusion.

Throughout his tenure as music director, Franz Welser-Möst has been a strong advocate for strengthening and expanding The Cleveland Orchestra’s education and community programs.

Here he is shown leading a rehearsal of the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra in 2002.

of its founding in 2018, The Cleveland Orch­estra is undergoing a new transformation and renaissance. Universallyacknow­ledged among the best ensembles on the planet, its musicians, staff, board of directors, volunteers, and hometown are working together on a set of enhanced goals for the 21st century — to develop the youngest audience of any orchestra, to renew its focus on fully serving the communities where it performs through engagement and education, to continue its legendary command of musical excellence, and to move forward into the Orchestra’s next century with a strong commitment to adventuresome programming and new music.

The Cleveland Orchestra divides its time each year across concert seasons at home in Cleveland’s Severance Hall and each summer at Blossom Music Center. Additional portions of the year are devoted to touring and to a series of innovative and intensive performance residencies. These include an annual set of concerts and education programs and partnerships in Florida, a recurring residency at Vienna’s Musikverein, and regular appearances at Switzerland’s Luas i t n e a r s t h e c e n t e nnia l

Musical Excellence. Under the leadership of Franz Welser-Möst, now in his thirteenth season as the ensemble’s music director, The Cleveland Orchestra is acknowledged among the world’s handful of best orchestras. Its performances of standard repertoire and new works are unrivalled at home in Ohio, in residencies around the globe, on tour across North America and Europe, and through recordings, telecasts, and radio and internet broadcasts. Its longstanding championship of new composers and commissioning of new works helps audiences understand music as a living language that grows and evolves with each new generation. Recent performances with Baroque specialists, recording projects with internationally-renowned soloists, fruitful re-examinations and juxtapositions of the standard repertoire, and acclaimed collaborations in 20th and 21st century masterworks together enable The Cleveland Orchestra the ability to give musical performances second to none in the world.

Serving the Community. Programs for students and community engagement activities have long been part of the Orchestra’s commitment to serving Cleveland and surrounding communities, and have more recently been extended to its touring and residencies. All are designed to connect people to music in the concert hall, in classrooms, and in everyday lives. Recent seasons have seen the launch of a unique “At Home” neighborhood residency program, designed to bring the Orchestra and citizens together in new ways. Additionally, a new Make Music! initiative is taking shape, championed by Franz Welser-Möst in advocacy for the benefits of direct participation in making music for people of all ages.

Future Audiences. Standing on the shoulders of ninety years of presenting

quality music education programs, the Orchestra made national and international headlines through the creation of its Center for Future Audiences in 2010. Established with a significant endowment gift from the Maltz Family Foundation, the Center is designed to provide ongoing funding for the Orchestra’s continuing work to develop interest in classical music among young people. The flagship “Under 18s Free” program has seen unparalleled success in increasing attendance and interest, and was recently extended to the Orchestra’s concerts in Miami.

Innovative Programming. The Cleveland Orchestra was among the first American orchestras heard on a regular series of radio broadcasts, and its Severance Hall home was one of the first concert halls in the world built with recording and broadcasting capabilities. Today, Cleveland Orchestra concerts are presented in a variety of formats for a variety of audiences — including a popular Fridays@7 series (mixing onstage symphonic works with post-concert world music performances), film scores performed live by the Orchestra, collaborations with pop and jazz singers, ballet and opera presentations, and standard repertoire juxtaposed in meaningful contexts with new and older works. Franz Welser-Möst’s creative vision has Severance Hall 2014-15

given the Orchestra an unequaled opportunity to explore music as a universal language of communication and understanding.

Origins and Evolution. 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. Seven music directors have guided and shaped the ensemble’s growth and sound: Nikolai Soko­loff, 1918-33; Artur Rodzinski, 193343; Erich Leins­dorf, 1943-46; George Szell, 1946-70; Lorin Maazel, 1972-82; Christoph von Dohnányi, 1984-2002; and Franz Welser-Möst, since 2002.

The opening in 1931 of Severance Hall as the Orchestra’s permanent home, with later acoustic refinements and remodeling of the hall under Szell’s guidance, brought a special pride to the ensemble and its hometown, as well as providing an enviable and intimate acoustic environment in which to develop and refine the Orchestra’s artistry. Touring performances throughout the United States and, beginning in 1957, to Europe and across the globe have confirmed Cleveland’s place among the world’s top orchestras. Year-round performances became a reality in 1968 with the opening of Blossom Music Center, one of the most beautiful and acoustically admired outdoor concert facilities in the United States.

Today, concert performances, community presentations, touring residencies, broadcasts, and recordings provide access to the Orchestra’s acclaimed artistry to an enthusiastic, generous, and broad constituency around the world.

Franz Welser-Möst leads a concert at John Adams High School. Through such In-School Performances and Education Concerts at Severance Hall, The Cleveland Orchestra has introduced more than 4 million young people to symphonic music over the past nine decades.

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

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.

With a commitment to music education and

the Northeast Ohio community, Franz Welser-Möst has taken The Cleveland Orchestra back into public schools with performances in collaboration with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. He has championed new programs, such as a community-focused Make Music! initiative and a series of “At Home” neighborhood residencies designed to bring the Orchestra and citizens together in new ways.

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 and an ongoing relationship with New York’s Lincoln Center Festival began in 2011.

To the start of this season, The Cleveland Orchestra has performed fourteen world and fifteen United States premieres under Franz Welser-Möst’s direction. In partnership with the Lucerne Festival, he and the Orchestra have premiered works

by Harrison Birtwistle, Chen Yi, Hanspeter Kyburz, George Benjamin, Toshio Hosokawa, and Matthias Pintscher. In addition, the Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer Fellow program has brought new voices to the repertoire, including Pintscher, Marc-André Dalbavie, Susan Botti, Julian Anderson, Johannes Maria Staud, Jörg Widmann, Sean Shepherd, and Ryan Wigglesworth.

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 concert performances of Strauss’s Salome at Severance Hall and at Carnegie Hall in May 2012 and in May 2014 led an innovative madeP H OTO BY S ATO S H I AOYAG I

for-Cleveland production of Leoš Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen at Severance Hall. They present performances of Richard Strauss’s Daphne in May 2015.

As a guest conductor, Mr. Welser-Möst enjoys a close and productive relationship with the Vienna Philharmonic. Recent performances with the Philharmonic include a critically-acclaimed production of Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier at the 2014 Salzburg Festival as well as appearances at New York’s Carnegie Hall, at the Lucerne Festival, and in concert at La Scala Milan. During the 2014-15 season, he returns to Europe for a tour of Scandinavia with the Philharmonic, and will also lead them in a new production of Beethoven’s Fidelio at Salzburg in 2015. He led the Philharmonic’s celebrated annual New Year’s Day concert in 2011 and 2013, viewed by tens of millions as telecast in seventy countries worldwide.

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 with stage director Sven-Eric Bechtolf, and critically-praised new productions of Hindemith’s Cardillac, Janáček’s Katya Kabanova and From the House of the Dead, Puccini’s The Girl of the Golden West, and Verdi’s Don Carlo, as well as performances of a wide range of other operas, particularly of works by Wagner and Richard Strauss, including Tristan and Isolde and Parsifal, and Der Rosenkavalier and Ariadne auf Naxos. Prior to his years with the Vienna State Opera, Mr. Welser-Möst led the Zurich Opera across a decade-long tenure, leading 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. With The Cleveland Orchestra, he has created DVD recordings of live performances of five of Bruckner’s symphonies, and is in the midst of a new project recording major works by Brahms. With Cleveland, he has also released a recording of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and an all-Wagner album. DVD releases on the EMI label have included Mr. Welser-Möst leading Zurich Opera productions of The Marriage of Figaro, Così fan tutte, Don Giovanni, Der Rosenkavalier, Fierrabras, and Peter Grimes.

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. He is the co-author of Cadences: Observations and Conversations, published in a German edition in 2007.

that we will launch the Orchestra’s second century together.”

Welser-Möst also spoke about the unique qualities of the Cleveland community, “We have a highly sophisticated audience in Northeast Ohio.

I feel a special bond with them, whose enthusiasm for their hometown orchestra is matched by their understanding of the work and support required to maintain such an ensemble. And beyond Ohio, the passionate support of our Miami community motivates even further my long-term commitment to the Orchestra and those we serve.”

In recent seasons, Welser-Möst has led a comprehensive set of new initiatives for the Orchestra toward goals of greater community engagement while extending the Orchestra’s international presence and reputation. Looking ahead to the Centennial and beyond, he commented: “To remain relevant in a changing world requires that we constantly change and grow. Leading up to and beyond our Centennial, we will accelerate the pace of change, breaking more new ground with new audiences, new repertoire, and new types of concert and opera presentations.”

With his extended commitment through the 2021-22 season, Franz Welser-Möst will become the second longest-tenured music director of The Cleveland Orchestra. He was named the Orchestra’s seventh music director on June 7, 1999, and began his tenure in September 2002. In May 2003, his initial five-year contract was extended to 2012. In 2008, a six-year ex-

T H E CLEVELAND O R C H E S T R A T H E CLEVELAND O R C H

The Cleveland Orchestra announced on Thursday, October 2, the extension of Franz WelserMöst’s contract as music director to 2022. With this extension, Mr. Welser-Möst’s tenure will reach at least 20 years, extending four years beyond the Orchestra’s Centennial Season in 2017-18. The announcement was made to the Orchestra’s musicians and staff at the season’s first rehearsal by the President of the Board of Trustees, Dennis W. LaBarre, and Executive Director, Gary Hanson.

“I am delighted that Franz will remain our artistic leader through and beyond our Centennial,” said Mr. LaBarre. “There is no more successful artistic partnership in the world today thanks to Franz’s extraordinary vision and leadership. I am confident the future will bring even greater success. Franz’s extended commitment provides artistic stability that is increasingly rare in our industry, and enables our shared goal for a Centennial that is a forward-looking foundation for the institution’s second century.”

“Franz is transforming The Cleveland Orchestra,” said Hanson, “not only artistically with ever-greater elegance and flexibility, but also institutionally through his passion for making us relevant to today’s audiences. For Franz, performing great concerts in local high schools is no less important than our celebrated international appearances. His long-term commitment to Cleveland is central to fulfilling our expanding education and community engagement mission.”

Commenting on the announcement of his extension, Welser-Möst said, “I love the spirit of The Cleveland Orchestra and there is no greater joy for me than collaborating with these musicians. Their collective dedication to excellence at every performance is inspiring and humbling.

We challenge each other to greater heights with each passing season. I am very excited

OrchestraNews tension was announced to 2018.

Concurrently with his Cleveland appointment, Franz Welser-Möst has also served as general music director of the Zurich Opera up to 2010, and in the same role at the Vienna State Opera from 2010 to 2014. He is a regular guest conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic at home and on far-reaching international tours, as well as for opera productions at the Salzburg Festival.

The Welser-Möst/Cleveland Legacy

The 2014-15 season marks Franz WelserMöst’s thirteenth year as music director of The Cleveland Orchestra, with the future of this acclaimed partnership now extending into the next decade. He holds the Kelvin Smith Family Music Director Endowed Chair.

Since becoming music director in 2002, Franz Welser-Möst has expanded the Orchestra’s repertoire and its horizons, while honing its strengths and building upon its unrivalled abilities. His leadership has developed new programs for its hometown in Northeast Ohio, as well as for enthusiastic fans and discerning connoisseurs around the world.

Under Welser-Möst’s direction, The Cleveland 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.

With a commitment to music education and the Northeast Ohio community, Franz Welser-Möst has taken The Cleveland Orchestra back into public schools with performances in collaboration with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. He has championed new programs, such as a community-focused Make Music! initiative and a series of “At Home” neighborhood residencies designed to bring the Orchestra and



citizens together in new ways.

Under 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 and an ongoing relationship with New York’s Lincoln Center Festival began in 2011. In all, Mr. Welser-Möst has led the Orchestra on fourteen international concert tours as music director, including their most recent 2014 European Tour, September 7-22.

In his first twelve years as music director, Franz Welser-Möst has led an annual series of opera presentations — including fully-staged, semi-staged, and concert performances — exploring and redefining theatrical approaches to opera within an orchestra’s season. Highlights include the three Mozart-Da Ponte operas (200911), Richard Strauss’s Salome at home in Severance Hall and at New York’s Carnegie Hall in 2012, and an innovative production of Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen this past spring. A presentation of Richard Strauss’s Daphne follows during the current season, in May 2015.

Franz Welser-Möst’s recordings with The Cleveland Orchestra include DVD recordings of live performances of five of Bruckner’s symphonies, a recording of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, and an all-Wagner album. Currently he and the Orchestra are in the midst of a new project recording major works by Brahms.

2014 European Tour draws praise for Welser-Möst /Cleveland partnership The following are excerpted from press commentary about The Cleve land Orchestra’s performances during its European Tour in September: “Welser-Möst exhibited the mellow, silky sound he has cultivated in his twelve years with the Clevelanders. . . . The Brahms had old-school character — the symphony’s middle movements have never sounded so Viennese.”

—Guardian (London), September 9, 2014 “Franz Welser-Möst is certainly an excellent technician — and last night all his skills were needed to keep a sprawling, fragmentary recent piece like Jörg Widmann’s Teufel Amor on track. . . . The Cleveland Orchestra can patrol contemporary music’s barricades with terrific expertise, commitment, and flair.”

—The Arts Desk, September 9, 2014 “Ohio’s prize orchestra is still gleaming, giving performances as precision-tooled as the cars that once rolled out from Michigan’s factories. . . . The orchestra’s ensemble sense is perfect.”

—The Times (London), Sepember 9, 2014

“Franz Welser-Möst has managed something radical with The Cleveland Orch­estra — making them play as one seamless unit. . . . Brahms’s Tragic Overture and Symphony No. 2 flickered with a very delicate beauty that makes the Clevelanders sound like no other orchestra.”

—The Times (London), September 10, 2014 ““The interpretations of Jörg Widmann works by The Cleveland Orchestra under Franz Welser-Möst’s baton can be considered exemplary and significant. They radiated an inner warmth and have been worked down to the finest detail, and are at the same time supported by large voltage playing.”

—Berliner Zeitung, Sepember 15, 2014

“The First Symphony of Brahms was interpreted by Welser-Möst and The Cleveland Orchestra with enormous precision, great tempo, polished dynamics, and dramatic intelligence. . . . One not only heard the romantic side of Brahms, but also the wild and almost revolutionary one.”

Welser-Möst leads special Vienna Philharmonic concert in Sarajevo to commemorate anniversary of World War I

Franz Welser-Möst led a commemorative concert of the Vienna Philharmonic in the atrium of Sarajevo’s rebuilt City Hall on June 28, 100 years after the assassinations of Archduke Ferdinand of Austria and his wife Sophie in that city began a series of events that resulted in the outbreak of World War I — and the start of a war-torn century for Sarajevo itself. A giant screen was erected to broadcast the concert for a crowd gathered outside on the opposite side of the Miljacka River. Broadcasters for Eurovision relayed the concert to more than 40 countries across Europe.

“This is a very symbolic day in a very symbolic location,” said Clemens Hellsberg, the outgoing president of the Philharmonic. “We wanted it to be not a view back into history, but a view into the future, after the catastrophe of war.”

In choosing the Beethoven’s ‘Ode to Joy’ as part of the concert, Welser-Möst said, “we wished to express the hope that war should never happen on the soil of Europe again.”

Welser-Möst continued, saying that he and the Philharmonic saw themselves performing in this special concert a similar role of reconciliation that conductor Daniel Barenboim has sought with his West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, whose mixture of Israeli and Arab players also work to surmount the hatreds and divisions of the past.

Presented to James

D. Ireland III

Presented by Dennis W. LaBarre at the concert of October 9, 2014

Excellence and service define JA M E S D. I R E L A N D I I I . These values underscore all his work, for the orchestra he loves and for the community to which he is devoted.

Jamie first attended The Cleveland Orchestra at age seven. As a devoted subscriber, each season’s concerts confirm and renew his dedication to the Orchestra’s mission to serve the Northeast Ohio community with a level of musical excellence unrivalled in the world today — and to inspire future generations of music lovers through education and engagement. His connection with the ensemble has intensified across the past twenty years as a member of the Board of Trustees, with leadership roles that rose from Annual Fund Chairman (1994-97) to Vice President (1995-2002) and President (2002-08). His work continues today as a passionate and tireless fundraiser and counselor.

Jamie was an effective and energetic leader from the moment he was elected to the Board of Trustees. After just one year, he became Vice Chair and then Chair of the Orchestra’s Annual Fund, which grew by over 30% in three years under his leadership.

As Vice President, Jamie co-chaired the Orchestra’s Twenty-First Century Campaign (1996-2000), a landmark Campaign to support the renovation of Severance Hall and build the Endowment. The Campaign exceeded its $100 million goal by $16 million.

Jamie chaired the search committee that identified and in 1999 chose Franz Welser-Möst as The Cleveland Orchestra’s seventh music director. As President, he was instrumental in extending Franz’s contract to provide a creative period of artistic stability — which continues to blossom as a new golden age of achievement. Jamie helped steer the Orchestra during a new era of leadership and success, through the unexpected economic tumult of a new century and changing times across Northeast Ohio. He early on became a driving force in recruiting a new generation of Board members, and he was integral to creating a transformative vision for the Orchestra’s future — combining a continuity of artistic excellence with a renewed commitment to serve all citizens through quality programming and innovative thinking.

Throughout his tenure, Jamie has made generous personal commitments to the Orchestra, and has been instrumental in securing funding from multiple corporations, foundations, and individuals.

Although his strongest devotion has long been focused on The Cleveland Orchestra, Jamie Ireland has unstintingly given his time and counsel to other causes and concerns across Northeast Ohio, including serving as trustee or chair of half a dozen civic or cultural organizations. During his presidency of the Orchestra, he was a leading advocate and proponent for the passage of Issue 18, which in 2007 created Cuyahoga Arts & Culture to inspire and strengthen this community through substantial, ongoing public funding for the region’s vibrantly diverse and wide-ranging arts scene.

In recognition of his many accomplishments for The Cleveland Orchestra and his extraordinary ongoing leadership and service, the Musical Arts Association is delighted to present James D. Ireland III with its highest award for distinguished service.

INTRODUCING THE CONCERTS

New , Old & Brilliant

T H I S W E E K E N D ’ S C O N C E R T S feature four works by three Central European composers. Two youthful works for piano and orchestra give guest soloist Lang Lang an opportunity to display his fantastic virtuosity. Frédéric Chopin at the age of twenty-one astonished his home city of Warsaw with his playing. His strange two-movement work, Andante spianato & Grand Polonaise brillante — with a prelude for solo piano followed by a movement for piano and orchestra — is heard on Thursday night and Sunday afternoon.

Richard Strauss at a similar young age to Chopin’s Warsaw virtuosity was already a master of the orchestra, if not himself a pianist of the same order. (Strauss could create but not appear publicly as soloist in his Burleske for piano and ensemble.)

Both young men had supreme confidence and an extrovert genius reflected in the extravagant fingerwork of the two pieces being heard.

As a master of the orchestra, no work represents Strauss’s claims more vividly than Till Eulenspiegel, at the end of the program, while Matthias Pintscher, whose idyll receives its world premiere at the opening, approaches the orchestra as a jeweller might, seeking out its inner potential with new, complex sonorities that baffle and bewitch the ear. (The KeyBank Fridays@7 program omits the Chopin and intermission, in favor of other kinds of music, both before and after the concert itself.) @

idyll (for orchestra) composed 2013-14

is among today’s most important German composers. Now moving out of the category of “young composer,” he is familiar to Cleveland audiences from his time as a Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer Fellow (2000-02), and in return visits since that time. He has earned broad recognition in England, France, and the United States — beyond the many performances and prizes he has received in Germany.

He has also gained a considerable reputation as a conductor, and has on several occasions led performances here at Severance Hall in Cleveland.

Pintscher first came to worldwide notice with his opera Thomas Chatterton, staged in Dresden in 1998 and followed by prestigious performances in Berlin under Claudio Abbado and at the Salzburg Festival. In addition to opera, he has composed a good quantity of chamber music for different instruments, a steady output of orchestral music, and a series of concertos (none of which are actually named concerto) that can be seen as a linked sequence of related works. His Reflections on Narcissus for cello and orchestra, from that group, was heard in Severance Hall in 2010. His output for orchestra alone includes Five Pieces for Orchestra (1997) and the paired works Towards Osiris (2006) and Osiris (2008).

While some of Pintscher’s orchestral works refer to Egyptian or Greek mythology, this new idyll being premiered this weekend has no declared allusions — so interpretation is open to the listener’s individual response. The title implies serenity, a state of being conveyed by the work’s ending and by many earlier passages. Otherwise, the critical elements of the piece are texture and color.

Regular pulse, familiar harmony, and retrievable melody are not to be found here. Instead, the composer’s strategy is to build sonic textures out of intricately blended instrumental effects as background, while the foreground features individual instruments with elaborate flourishes that sometimes extend into solo passages and sometimes involve full groups of instruments. The alto flute, for example, is heard early on taking center stage, only to be “replaced” by a passage of muted violins.

Such solos are given also to the contrabassoon, horn, and flute.

And after the main stormy climax of the work, the piano plays m a t t h ias pin t sc h e r

a cadenza in free rhythm that brings the music back to calmer waters.

Water, indeed, may be in the composer’s mind here, for he calls for three tamtams (gongs) to be gently brushed to suggest “images of waves and the deep profound quiet of the sea” (as stated in the score). This is only one of countless special sonorities to be provided by a percussion section of extraordinary variety and richness (the traditional timpani are conspicuously silent). The orchestra as a whole, percussion included, is treated as an enormous chamber ensemble, and the orchestration is as intricate and precise as advanced complex electronics.

The composer now lives in New York, following a period as professor of composition at New York University.

Following these world premiere performances in Cleveland, idyll will receive its German premiere in Munich at the end of this month, with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Franz Welser-Möst.

Lang Lang Chinese pianist Lang Lang has played sold-out recitals and concerts everywhere he goes. His Cleveland Orchestra debut was in August 2000; his most recent appearances prior to this weekend’s concerts were in April 2012.

Lang Lang inspires millions with open-hearted, emotive playing, whether it be in intimate recitals or on the grandest of stages — including at the 2014 World Cup concert in Rio de Janeiro (with Placido Domingo) to celebrate the final game, the 56th Grammy Awards (where he played with Metallica), the Opening Ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics (when billions of people around the world tuned in to his performance), the Last Night of the BBC Proms at London’s Royal Albert Hall, or the Liszt 200th birthday concert broadcast live to more than 500 cinemas across the United States and Europe. He has formed enduring musical partnerships with great artists around the world, from conductors Daniel Barenboim, Gustavo Dudamel, and Simon Rattle to artists from outside of classical music, among them dubstep dancer Marquese “nonstop” Scott and jazz titan Herbie Hancock. He is constantly working to build cultural bridges between East and West, introducing Chinese music to Western audiences, and vice versa.

Yet Lang Lang never forgets what first inspired, and continues to inspire him — great artists, above all the great composers Liszt, Chopin, and the others, whose music he now delights in bringing to others. Even that famous old Tom and Jerry cartoon The Cat Concerto that introduced him, as a child, to the music of Liszt, or that childlike excitement at the discovery of music now stays with him and propels him to what he calls “his second career,” bringing music into the lives of children around the world, both through his work for the United Nations as a Messenger of Peace focusing on global education and through his own Lang Lang International Music Foundation. As he inspires, he is inspired. As he is inspired, he inspires others. It is this quality, perhaps, that led the New Yorker to call him “the world’s ambassador of the keyboard.”

Lang Lang has performed for international dignitaries including the Secretary-General of the U.N. Ban Ki-moon and four United States presidents. Of many landmark events, he was honored to perform recently for President Obama and former President Hu Jintao of China at a White House State Dinner, as well as at the Diamond Jubilee celebratory concert for Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace.

Andante spianato & Grand Polonaise brillante in E-flat major, Opus 22 composed 1830-34

works for solo piano and orchestra are early works, composed before he arrived in Paris in September 1831 at the age of twenty-one. These include the two piano concertos, a set of variations, and three works based on Polish melodies and dances. Although he performed some of these in Paris, he never again composed for orchestra, and confined himself almost exclusively to the solo piano, with occasional songs and chamber works which he could play with his Parisian friends.

The Grand Polonaise in E-flat major belongs to 1831, the year that he travelled from Warsaw to Vienna and then on to Paris.

From these early works, his style quite quickly changed to the intimate, searching manner that we know from the Preludes, Nocturnes, and other mature works — and the extrovert bravura of the concertos and the Grand Polonaise was less often to be heard (though by no means suppressed). In 1834, he composed a short piece in the new style titled Andante spianato (a “level” or “even” Andante) and attached or harnessed it to the Polonaise. Performed thus at a Paris Conservatoire concert the following year, this is one of the oddest couplings in all music, for the two pieces are entirely different in tempo, in mood, in key, and in instrumentation.

As listeners, we have long been urged by unimpeachable musical thinkers to look for the common threads that run through symphonies and sonatas in several movements, to see the overarching unity of multi-partite works; we are supposed to feel satisfied by unity of key and temperament in a piece. Chopin here defies all such beliefs by forcing us to absorb chalk and cheese, oil and water, in close succession. If each component of the work is satisfying on its own, Chopin is saying, why not together? This is a sonic meal of contrasts.

The problem is not the danger of aesthetic outrage — it is, quite simply, to understand what made Chopin think the Andante needed something to follow, or that the Polonaise needed something to introduce it. In any excellent performance, these questions will fade in the face of the beautiful expressiveness of the first section (first course, one might say) and the brilliant virtuosity of the second. These are two important, quite different elements of Chopin’s genius, never to be denied. a l l of c h opin ’ s

The Andante itself has a contrasting section within it, for the nocturne-like theme of the opening gives way to a simple folk-like passage free of the pianistic ripples, which return to close the piece. The Polonaise introduces the orchestra but gives the lion’s share of the action to the soloist, for Chopin almost always uses the orchestra (and not just in this piece) simply to introduce and link themes, never to expand them on its own.

At the time this music was composed, the piano had only recently acquired the extra octave at the top of its register — thanks to the building of more robust pianos fortified with iron sounding frames. Brillante became the favorite description of these pieces, since the pianist’s right hand now had a wonderfully expanded field of action — scales and arpeggios had never been so necessary and so important.

At a Glance Chopin wrote his Grande Polonaise for piano and orchestra in 1830-31. (Although scored for orchestra accompaniment, the solo piano part is sometimes performed by itself.) In 1834, Chopin wrote the Andante spianato for solo piano and then made it into a prelude to the earlier Grande Polonaise. The two-part work was first performed on April 26, 1835, in Paris, with the Paris Conservatoire Orchestra conducted by François Habeneck, with the composer as soloist.

This work runs about 15 minutes in performance.

Chopin scored it for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, trombone, timpani, and strings, plus solo piano.

The Cleveland Orchestra has performed this work on only three previous occasions, at a special concert during the 1919-20 season with Walter Gilewicz as soloist, at a weekend of concerts in March 1961 with Gary Graffman as soloist, and, most recently, at Blossom in July 1984 with Dmitri Sgouros as soloist.

Burleske (for piano and orchestra) composed 1885-86

by

Richard

STRAUSS

born June 11, 1864 Munich died September 8, 1949 Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria

Severance Hall 2014-15

r ic h a r d s t r a u ss ’ s piano-playing skillset may be judged by the fact that in October 1885, at the age of twenty-one, he was the soloist in a Mozart piano concerto with the orchestra in Meiningen, the small duchy in southern Germany where he had just taken up the position of assistant conductor. Nevertheless, he never regarded himself a soloist and made that clear by shortly thereafter composing this Burleske with a solo part so difficult that only pianists with a gargantuan technique would attempt it. Strauss would not — could not — play it in public.

His mentor in Meiningen was Hans von Bülow, pupil of Liszt and the only one who approached Liszt’s own standing as a virtuoso. Von Bülow had built up the reputation of the Meiningen orchestra to the point where Brahms, who always arranged important first performances with care, chose Meiningen for the premiere of his Fourth Symphony, which took place only ten days after Strauss’s appearance with the Mozart concerto.

The glory days of Meiningen’s flowering were suddenly brought to an end by von Bülow’s resignation as music director in 1885. Strauss was offered the post, but by then the Duke had decided to cut back his musical establishment and reduce the size of the orchestra to the point where its prestige could not be sustained. Strauss declined the offer and his career moved in a different direction, towards the world of Liszt rather than that of Brahms — to symphonic poems rather than symphonies.

In the remaining months of his tenure at Meiningen, Strauss embarked on a Scherzo for piano and orchestra, and also a Rhapsody for the same instrumentation. The Rhapsody remained a fragment, but the Scherzo turned into the Burleske, a full-length scherzo revealing Strauss’s characteristic brilliance and energy. It was finished on January 24, 1886. Von Bülow, still in contact with his protégé, declared it to be unplayable — it was thus several years before a pianist came forward with the courage to prove that judgement wrong. This was the Scottishborn Eugen d’Albert, also a pupil of Liszt, who later owed his fame more to his compositions than to his piano-playing.

The premiere performance of the Burleske took place in the city of Bach’s birth, Eisenach, in a concert that also included the first performance of Strauss’s tone poem Death and Transfiguration. By then the masterly tone poem Don Juan had already About the Music

51

taken the critics by storm, so the Burleske must have seemed a reminder of a past era and not the still young composer’s future.

The work’s main theme is presented by the timpani’s four drums — and, in fact, throughout the piece the timpanist acts as something of a secondary soloist, even having the last word.

There are echoes of Brahms in the persistent cross-rhythms and in the swooning waltz that provides a contrasting theme.

There is little let-up for the soloist, however, and the striding bass-line and rocket-like figures for the right hand tumble over each other in great cascades. The piece ends, as it began, with the timpani in a soft landing.

—Hugh Macdonald © 2014 At a Glance Strauss composed his Burleske at Meiningen in the winter of 1885-86, writing the piano part with the famous conductor-pianist Hans von Bülow in mind. Eugen d’Albert, however, was the soloist in the first performance, which took place on June 21, 1890, at Eisenach, with Strauss conducting. (His tone poem Death and Transfiguration received its premiere at the same concert.) Burleske was published in 1894 with a dedication to d’Albert.

This work runs approximately 20

minutes in performance. Strauss scored it for piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, and strings, plus the solo piano.

The Cleveland Orchestra first performed Strauss’s Burleske in October 1938, conducted by Artur Rod­zinski; the soloist was Boris Goldovsky, then head of the opera department of the Cleveland Institute of Music. The most recent perform­ances were given by Emanuel Ax at Severance Hall under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst, in October 2009.

Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks, Opus 28 After the Old Rogue’s Tale, Composed in Rondo Form for Large Orchestra

composed 1894-95

of symphonic tone poems that followed Strauss’s “conversion” to the path laid out by Liszt, Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks is fourth, following Macbeth, Don Juan, and Death and Transfiguration. Each one was, in general, longer and more complex than the previous one and called for a larger orchestra. The last of the series, the Alpine Symphony, finished in 1915, is nearly an hour long and requires massive forces including an army of offstage horns.

Till Eulenspiegel was composed in 1895, when Strauss was assistant conductor at the Munich opera, having already established a reputation as one of Germany’s leading conductors alongside his position as the most advanced composer of his time. He was busy and productive in both roles, and the energy that propelled him is clearly to be heard in this work. He once boasted he could portray almost anything in music, and the symphonic poems’ subjects range from the contemplation of death and eastern philosophy to the humorous episodes of Till Eulenspiegel’s adventurous, short life. Till “Owlglass,” in ancient German lore, is a charming villain who gets away with a series of pranks until the law finally catches up with him.

The real Till seems to have lived in Brunswick in the mid14th century and to have died a victim of the Black Death. He is supposed to have been apprenticed to many trades and to have played tricks on the wise men and leaders of the city. The victims of his practical jokes forced him to move from city to city.

Strauss picked a number of episodes from the many recorded in ancient accounts and presented them “in Rondeauform,” which contributes a joke of Strauss’s own — because the piece is not by any means in traditional rondo form, even though, like rondos, it has a series of non-recurring episodes.

Before the action begins, we learn that Till is an endearing character from the sweet phrase delicately presented by the violins: in t h e s e r i e s

The Cleveland Orchestra

But the solo horn’s tricky rhythms tell us that he’s also a slippery individual as he sets off to have some fun. The real Till is revealed by a squeaky clarinet, landing on a teasing chord for four oboes. The endearing smile we heard at the beginning was only a mask:

For a while, Till just saunters along, looking for something to amuse himself with (the orchestra enjoys playing ball, passing his theme back and forth and around the stage), then he strides into the market place and, with a heavy cymbal clash and a noisy rattle, he overturns the tradesmen’s stalls and runs off, leaving havoc behind.

Cautiously peeping out from his hiding place, Till decides to play the preacher, dressed as a priest. The music is solemn (rather than holy). A series of slithering chords in the brass represents his alarm at contemplating the fearful punishments meted out to those who mock religion, and so, with a solo violin glissando from the top of its range, Till escapes and prepares himself for his next adventure.

This time he is to play the cavalier, ready to trap any pretty girl that passes. Swooning phrases fall from his lips, and he falls genuinely in love only to be rejected by a girl who sees through the imposture. For a short while he fumes with rage, and then forgets the whole episode by taking up with a group of argumentative professors (played by the bassoons). The discussion gets more and more intense, with Till’s teasing contributions causing them to turn on him in fury. A demonic trill on the “four-oboe” chord nails his predicament, from which he escapes with the jauntiest little tune, like a cheeky grimace.

At this point, Strauss recounts no more particular adventures, but instead works the music round to a recapitulation that will bring back the opening horn solo. All the themes are heard again in increasingly dense combinations. Till is surely finding himself in increasingly hot water, and the law is bound to catch up with him sooner or later. When the solemn preacher’s melody is heard on the full brass (with extra horns and trumpets as an option), the game is up. A snare drum supports the Severance Hall 2014-15

About the Music

The real Till seems to have lived in Brunswick in the 14th century and to have died a victim of the Black Death. He is supposed to have tried his hand in many trades and to have played tricks on the wise men and leaders of the city. The victims of his practical jokes forced him to move from city to city.

solemn deliberations of his judges.

The slithering brass chords tell us that punishment is due, and two brutal notes on trombones, horns, and bassoons represent Till’s fate on the gallows. But his spirit is not dead, and in the people’s memory Till Eulenspiegel wins a new smile, even a guffaw . . . and the story is set for retellings of evermore boastful and amusing tales.

—Hugh Macdonald © 2014 At a Glance Strauss began writing Till Eulenspiegel’s Merry Pranks in late 1894, and completed the score in May 1895.

Franz Wüllner conducted the world premiere on November 5, 1895, in Cologne. Till Eulenspiegel received its United States premiere just ten days later, with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Strauss dedicated the published score to Anton Seidl.

This work runs about 15 minutes in performance. Strauss scored it for piccolo, 3 flutes, 3 oboes, english horn, 3 clarinets, bass clarinet, 3 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns (4 more ad

It has been performed frequently since then, in performances by all the Orchestra’s music directors, and on tour domestically and internationally. The Orchestra’s most recent performances were in November 2011, conducted by Fabio Luisi at Severance Hall.

an acknowledged master of the diatonic harmonica. He is also known as a pianist, innovative composer, recording artist, bandleader, teacher, and producer. He is equally at home in jazz, classical music, rock, folk, Latin, and world music, and brings a fresh lyrical approach to whatever he plays. As a sideman, he has appeared on hundreds of CDs and played on many movie soundtracks. Howard is music director and chief composer for the Latin/Jazz group Chévere de Chicago. He also has an online harmonica school. To learn more, visit www.levyland.com.

Julien Labro has established himself as among the fore-

most accordion and bandoneon players in both the classical and jazz worlds. His artistry, virtuosity, and creativity as a musician, composer, and arranger have earned him acclaim around the world. Born in France, Labro was influenced early on by traditional folk music and the melodic, lyrical quality of the French chanson. He was, however, irresistably drawn to jazz, and later embraced other genres ranging from pop and hip hop to electronic/techno and rap. He frequently performs with orchestras, in clubs, and in recording studios. To learn more, visit www.julienlabro.com.

Jamey Haddad has curated and planned the world music

performances for The Cleveland Orchestra’s Fridays@7 concerts since the series began in 2009. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, he holds a unique position in the world of jazz and contemporary music, with his musical voice transcending styles and trends. Regarded as one of the foremost world music and jazz percussionists in the United States, Mr. Haddad is an associate professor at the Cleveland Institute of Music, Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Boston’s Berklee College of Music, and the New England Conservatory.

Hot Club of Detroit is a jazz ensemble specializing in the mind of e Gypsy jazz sound made famous by guitarist Django Reinhardt. The 001 group was formed in 2001 nd

by Reinhardt disciple and virtuoso guitarist Evan Perri while he was attending Wayne State University (the en-o semble’s name is an homage to b Reinhardt’s legendary Hot Club of France Quintet). The group quickly became a favorite in d area bars and clubs, and signed easing the self-tiwith Mack Avenue Records, releasing acclaim with their next tled Hot Club of Detroit in 2009 to much acclaim, album, Night Town, that same year. In 2010, It’s About That Time expanded on the band’s Gypsy jazz base to include other strains of jazz. Hot Club of Detroit returned in 2012 with an album titled Junction, displaying electrifying and visionary ensemblework and creativity that takes the traditions pioneered by Reinhardt and spins them in a way that’s both reverent and refreshingly contemporary. Their energetic and unique acoustic-electric sound features Evan Perri on lead guitar, Julien Labro on accordion, Koran Agan on rhythm guitar, and Jordan Schug on bass.

Building Audiences for the Future . . . Today!

The Cleveland Orchestra is committed to developing interest in classical music among young people. To demonstrate our success, we are working to have the youngest audience of any orchestra. With the help of generous contributors, the Orch­estra has expanded its discounted ticket offerings through several new programs. In recent years, student attendance has doubled, now representing 20% of those at Cleveland Orchestra concerts. Since inaugurating these programs in 2011, over 100,000 young people have participated.

Un d e r 1 8 s F REE F O R FA M I L I E S

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

S TUDE N T T I C K ET P R O G R A M S

In the past two seasons, The Cleveland Orchestra’s Student Advantage Members, Frequent Fan Card holders, Student Ambassadors, and special offers for student groups attending together have been responsible for bringing more high school and college age students to Severance Hall and Blossom than ever before.

The Orchestra’s ongoing Student Advantage Program provides opportunities for students to attend concerts at Severance Hall and Blossom through discounted ticket offers. Membership is free to join and rewards members with discounted ticket purchases. A record 6,000 students joined in the past year. A new Student Frequent Fan Card is available in conjunction with Student Advantage membership, offering unlimited single tickets (one per FanCard holder) all season long.

All of these programs are supported by The Cleveland Orchestra’s Center for Future Audiences and the Alexander and Sarah Cutler Fund for Student Audiences.

The Center for Future Audiences was created with a $20 million lead endowment gift from the Maltz Family Foundation to develop new generations of audiences for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio.

The lotus blossom is the symbol of the Heritage Society.

It represents eternal life and recognizes the permanent benefits of legacy gifts to The Cleveland Orchestra’s endowment. Said to be Elisabeth Severance’s favorite flower, the lotus is found as a decorative motif in nearly every public area of Severance Hall.

Lifetime Giving

Giving Societies

$10 MILLION AND MORE

In celebration of the critical role individuals play in supporting The Cleveland Orchestra each year, donors of $2,500 and more are recognized as members of a group of special Leadership Giving Societies. These societies are named to honor important and inspirational leaders in the Orchestra’s history. ��The Adella Prentiss Hughes Society honors the Orchestra’s founder and first manager, who from 1918 envisioned an ensemble dedicated to community service, music education, and performing excellence.

The George Szell Society is named after the Orchestra’s fourth music director, who served for twenty-four seasons (1946-70) while refining the ensemble’s international reputation for clarity of sound and unsurpassed musical excellence.

The Elisabeth DeWitt Severance Society honors not only the woman in whose memory Severance Hall was built, but her selfless sharing, including her insistence on nurturing an orchestra not just for the wealthy but for everyone.

The Dudley S. Blossom Society honors one of the Orchestra’s early and most generous benefactors, whose dedication and charm rallied thousands to support and nurture a hometown orchestra toward greatness.

The Frank H. Ginn Society honors the man whose judicious management of Severance Hall’s finances and construction created a beautiful and welcoming home for Cleveland’s Orchestra.

The 1929 Society honors the vibrant community spirit that propelled 3,000 volunteers and donors to raise over $2 million in a nine-day campaign in April 1929 to meet and match John and Elisabeth Severance’s challenge gift toward the building of the Orchestra’s new concert hall.

Critics from around the world have acclaimed the partnership of Franz Welser-Möst and The Cleveland Orchestra, and their recorded legacy continues to grow.

Their newest DVD features Bruckner’s Fourth Symphony recorded live in the Abbey of St. Florian in Linz, Austria in 2012. “A great orch­ estra, a Bruckner expert. . . . Five out of five stars,” declared Austria’s Kurier newspaper.

Dvořák’s opera Rusalka on CD, recorded live at the Salzburg Festival, elicited the reviewer for London’s Sunday Times to praise the perform­ance as “the most spellbinding account of Dvořák’s miraculous score I have ever heard, either in the theatre or on record. . . . I doubt this music can be better played than by the Clevelanders, the most ‘European’ of the American orchestras, with wind and brass soloists to die for and a string sound of superlative warmth and sensitivity.” Other recordings released in recent years include four acclaimed albums of Mozart piano concertos with Mitsuko Uchida and two under the baton of renowned conductor Pierre Boulez.

Visit the Cleveland Orchestra Store for the latest and best Cleveland Orchestra recordings and DVDs.

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 most of 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. In addition to serving as the home of The Cleveland Orchestra for concerts and rehearsals, the building is rented by a wide variety of local organizations and private citizens for performances, meetings, and special events each year.

Composed in the wake of World War I, Elgar’s Cello Concerto is a poignant, meditative work of great beauty, filled with melodic yearning. A Cleveland favorite, cellist Alisa Weilerstein joins the Orchestra for this program of works spanning the 20th century, concluding with John Adams’s mesmerizing and philosophical Harmonielehre. The concert begins with Arvo Pärt’s musical eulogy to the great British composer Benjamin Britten.

“Alisa Weilerstein gave the most technically complete and emotionally devasting performance of Elgar’s Cello Concerto that I have ever heard live.”

—The Guardian (London)

And to that, we say, “Bravo!”
