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 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. 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.

Gary Hanson P.S. Included in this fall’s elections is Issue 4 for the Cleveland Metropolitan School District.

Without raising taxes, this ballot initiative continues financial support for CMSD’s revised facilities plan and sustains the progress being made in the district’s Cleveland Plan. The success of Issue 4 will make a critical difference for Northeast Ohio’s future — and I urge everyone to learn more at www.clevelandmetroschools.org, and to support the campaign.

DRIVING THROUGH SEVERANCE HALL — When Severance Hall opened on February 5, 1931, the building featured a drivethrough for passenger drop-off and pick-up, in operation in the 1930s. Later closed and used as restaurant space, the area became the Smith Lobby, with new restrooms and ticket office space, during the building renovations in 1999-2000.

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 it nears the centennial

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.

INTRODUCING THE CONCERTS

Meditation, Summer & the River Rhine

offer varying views of how music can convey thoughts and ideas — or paint pictures. Created by composers from Japan, France, and Germany.

For the evening concerts, a contemporary Japanese composer, Toshio Hosokawa starts off with Meditation, intended as a reflection on the many lives that were changed, shattered, and split apart by the earthquake and tsunami that struck his homeland in March 2011.

Hector Berlioz’s quintessential song cycle Summer Nights [Les Nuits d’été] offers six beautiful songs, whose Romantic intent bends back and forth between the words and the music. Their texts are wistful, mournful, and yearning — while their musical settings infuse them with bittersweet longing, suspended langorously in the air of summer sunsets and nighttime. This is Romantic in the fully emotional sense, pulling heartstrings and heartaches.

To close, Robert Schumann’s great symphony — inspired by the Rhineland — bursts forth with the vigor of a dynamic river and the towns and countryside Hosokawa, through which it flows. In five movements Schumann, and Berlioz like the famous “Pastoral” Symphony, Schumann’s work is not as specifically programmatic as Beethoven’s. Here, the aim is for atmosphere and style, from dashing outburst to the quiet contemplation of a cathedral. It remains one of the most reliably stirring symphonies of the 19th century.

The Cleveland Orchestra

Robin Ticciati British conductor Robin Ticciati is principal conductor of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, principal guest conductor of the Bamberg Symphony, and, beginning with summer 2014, the new music director of Glyndebourne Festival Opera. He tries each season to maintain a balance between his orchestral engagements and operatic performances. He made his Cleveland Orchestra debut in October 2012.

Born in London in 1983, Robin Ticciati is a violinist, pianist, and percussionist by training, and also studied music at the University of Cambridge. His paternal grandfather was a composer and arranger, and his brother is a violinist. He was a member of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain when he turned to conducting, at age 15, under the guidance of Colin Davis and Simon Rattle. The Royal Academy of Music recently appointed Mr. Ticciati a Sir Colin Davis Fellow of Conducting.

In the current 2014-15 season, Mr. Ticciati is involved in a residency at Vienna’s Konzerthaus featuring the London Symphony Orchestra, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Scottish Chamber Orchestra, and the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, and he will also make his debut with the Budapest Festival Orchestra, Czech Philharmonic, Berlin’s Deutsche Symphonie Orchester, and the Orchestre National de France. Previous guest appearances have included engagements with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, Rotterdam Philharmonic, Swedish Radio Symphony, and Zurich’s Tonhalle Orchestra. In addition to his current positions, Robin Ticciati served as artistic advisor and chief conductor of the Gävle Symphony Orchestra (2006-09) and music director of Glyndebourne Opera on tour (2007-09).

Mr. Ticciati’s recent and upcoming operatic engagements include Mozart’s Don Giovanni at Glyndebourne and Zurich Opera, Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro at Glyndebourne and the Salzburg Festival, Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel at New York’s Metropolitan Opera, Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin at London’s Royal Opera House, and Britten’s Peter Grimes at La Scala Milan.

Robin Ticciati’s discography includes three albums with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, as well as a recording with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, all for Linn Records. With the Bamberg Symphony on the Tudor label, he has conducted two albums of works by Brahms, one of which was given Germany’s Echo Klassik award. Mr. Ticciati’s opera releases feature a number of recordings on Opus Art and on Glyndebourne’s house label.

Meditation to the Victims of Tsunami 3.11 composed 2011-12

T H R E E Y E A R S A G O , on March 11, 2011, a powerful tsunami

by

Toshio

HOSOKAWA born October 23, 1955 Hiroshima, Japan currently living in Nagano, Japan

Severance Hall 2014-15

struck the east coast of Japan and caused extraordinary devastation and loss of life. The nuclear issues that resulted are still unresolved, thousands of residents are permanently displaced, and the area is unlikely to return to its former role as hearth, home, and agricultural breadbasket anytime soon.

The Japanese composer Toshio Hosokawa wrote his Meditation as a tribute to the victims of the disaster, and it was performed a year later at the Tongyeong International Music Festival in Korea, followed by performances in Munich and at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, South Carolina, and in a number of European countries. This weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guest conductor has also recently programmed the work with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.

Hosokawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career has been divided between Japan and Germany, where he studied and where his works have enjoyed considerable success. His Woven Dreams was premiered at the Lucerne Festival by The Cleveland Orchestra under Franz Welser-MĂśst in 2010 and subsequently played at Severance Hall and at Carnegie Hall, but his music is still little known in the United States. Yet he is prolific in orchestral, vocal, and chamber music, and has created two operas that have been performed several times in Europe. He has had new works premiered at the Salzburg and Edinburgh Festivals, in addition to Lucerne.

His style derives from the works of Anton Webern and Pierre Boulez and from exploratory composers of the 1970s.

It is also permeated with Japanese traditional music and often employs Japanese instruments. It is, typically, slow in movement and high-pitched in tessitura, exploring new sounds and combinations and different ways of handling instruments, percussion in particular.

A tendency towards stasis and silence comes from Gagaku music of the Japanese courtly tradition, and is particularly appropriate for contemplative music. Meditation is a piece of this type, very slow at the start, punctuated by regular low chords.

The music then moves a little faster and takes on a thicker texture moving to a strong climax. The Meditation proper starts at this point with a solo on the alto flute. The progress of the music is constantly disturbed by agonizing, intrusive gestures, About the Music

but it concludes softly in a thoughtful manner as a fitting homage to the victims of a disaster that has etched a deep scar in the consciousness of Japan and the world.

—Hugh Macdonald © 2014 At a Glance This piece runs about 15 minutes in performance. Hosokawa scored it for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, percussion (tam tam, bongos, wood blocks, antique cymbals, bass drum), timpani, and strings.

The Cleveland Orchestra is performing this work for the first time with this weekend’s concerts.

Hosokawa wrote his Meditation for orchestra in 2011-12 on a commission from the Tongyeong International Music Festival. The work is dedicated to the victims of the Hohoku earthquake that caused a tsunami and devastated Japan on March 3, 2011. The piece was first performed on March 23, 2012, by the Tonyeong Festival Orchestra in South Korea, conducted by Alexander Liebreich.

Montefiore A Caring Community

The Cleveland Orchestra

Summer Nights [Les Nuits d’été], Opus 7 composed 1840-41

have become some of Berlioz’s best loved works, especially favored by those who have little taste for the grandiose overstatement often (misguidedly) taken to be the composer’s normal mode of speech. The songs’ intimate character and chamber dimensions remove them from the Beethovenian mania that dominated 19th-century concert halls, and yet they have an intense poetic quality that we have no difficulty in recognizing as Romantic.

We must assume that Berlioz was fond of them himself, although he rarely spoke or wrote about them and never performed or even heard the complete cycle in its orchestral form.

The songs were composed for piano and voice in the years 18401841, shortly after the symphony Roméo et Juliette, and published as songs for mezzo-soprano or tenor in 1841. Even if Berlioz intended them to be considered as a unified cycle at the time, which is debatable, he later orchestrated them for different voices, in some cases transposing them from their original keys.

The first to be orchestrated was Absence. This was done in Dresden in February 1843 as a vehicle for Marie Recio, the soprano who had recently entered the composer’s life and was later to become his second wife. She had sung it before with piano accompaniment, but gave the first orchestral performance in Leipzig on February 23, 1843, in the presence of Felix Mendelssohn (who particularly admired the double-bass entry at the cadence of the refrain).

The rest of the songs were not orchestrated until more than ten years later. Le Spectre de la rose [“The Ghost of the Rose”] appeared in a concert Berlioz gave in Gotha, near Weimar, in February 1856, and he then took on the task of orchestrating the remaining four songs, which were published as a set later that year by Rieter-Biedermann in Winterthur, Switzerland.

Berlioz associated this music entirely with his concerts away from Paris and dedicated each song to a different member of the Weimar Kapelle, whose talents he had many occasions to appreciate. Two of the songs, Le Spectre de la rose and Sur les lagunes [“On the Lagoons”], are pitched in lower keys than in the original piano version, although the set can still be (and today usually is) undertaken by a single singer.

de la mort [“The Comedy of Death”] by Berlioz’s friend Théophile Gautier. They met regularly at the opera and at concerts in their roles as newspaper critics, and the poems Berlioz selected can readily be interpreted as reflecting some of his own feelings in the years of their composition. The first and last songs have a joyous open-air tone, while the four central songs explore darker modes of imagery and feeling.

Villanelle, named after a type of peasant or ballad-song, was probably inspired by the third movement of Beethoven’s Eighth Symphony, whose repeated chords are echoed at the beginning and which suggested to Berlioz the image of children picking flowers in the fields, as in Gautier’s poem. The three verses are harmonized differently, adding new subtleties each time.

Le Spectre de la rose [“The Ghost of the Rose”] evokes the image of a flower brought home from the ball, later made famous as a ballet by Nijinsky. But the rose, though dead, is not to be pitied; rather, its resting-place on the young girl’s breast is to be envied even by kings. A solo cello and the harp add color to the scoring, while the bassoons, always regarded by Berlioz as vulgar instruments, are silent in this song.

As his boat dips Sur les Lagunes, across the lagoon, the poet mourns his dead beloved. Images of tears, night, and death prevail. Not even the mourning dove can raise his spirits. Except perhaps at the end of his opera Les Troyens [“The Trojans”], Berlioz never wrote a lament as impenetrably dark as this.

In Absence, although there is little to rejoice in, the lover is at least alive, though far distant. Overlapping chords of winds and strings suggest the agony of separation, and the key of Fsharp major is, almost by definition, infinitely remote.

In Au Cimetière [“At the Graveyard”], the dove again sings its mournful song. Simple string chords set the flutes and clarinets in sharp relief. The other kind of relief comes with the last song, L’Île inconnue [“The Unknown Isle”], in which we are taken on a global dream-tour, touching on the delights of distant lands. But even paradise, we are bitterly reminded, cannot promise the certainty of perfect love.

At a Glance Berlioz wrote the six songs of Les Nuits d’été [“Summer Nights”] in 1840-41, for voice and piano, and published them in 1841. He orchestrated one of the songs, “Absence,” in 1843 and the others in 1856, at which time the cycle and orchestral scoring were published. The six songs were at first intended for — and dedicated to — different singers, and it wasn’t until later that performances as a cycle, with one singer, became the norm.

This song cycle runs about 30 minutes in performance. Berlioz scored it for 2 flutes, oboe, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 3 horns, harp, strings, and solo voice.

The Cleveland Orchestra first performed Les Nuits d’été in November 1967, with Judith Raskin as soloist and Pierre Boulez conducting.

The most recent performances took place in May 2000, with Melanie Diener as soloist under the direction of Pierre Boulez. Jahja Ling led performances at the 1999 Blossom Festival with Susan Graham as soloist.

Les Nuits d’été [Summer Nights]

texts by Théophile Gautier (1811-1872), music by Hector Berlioz (1803-1869)

1. Villanelle [“Country Song”] Quand viendra la saison nouvelle, Quand auront disparu les froids, Tous les deux nous irons, ma belle, Pour cueillir le muguet au bois; Sous nos pieds égrenant les perles, Que l’on voit au matin trembler, Nous irons écouter les merles Siffler.

When the new season comes, When the frosts have gone, You and I, my dearest, will go Picking lily-of-the-valley in the woods; Our feet will scatter the dewdrops That tremble in the morning light.

We’ll listen to the blackbirds’ Call.

Le printemps est venu, ma belle, C’est le mois des amants béni, Et l’oiseau, satinant son aile, Dit des vers au rebord du nid.

Oh ! viens donc sur ce banc de mousse, Pour parler des nos beaux amours, Et dis-moi de ta voix si douce:

Toujours !

Spring has come, my dearest, The month adored by lovers, And on the edge of its nest The bird sings poetry as it preens its feathers.

Oh, come and talk about our beautiful love On this mossy bank, And say in your soft voice:

For ever!

Loin, bien loin, égarant nos courses, Faisons fuir le lapin caché, Et le daim au miroir des sources Admirant son grand bois penché; Puis, chez nous, tout heureux, tout aises, En paniers, enlaçant nos doigts, Revenons rapportant des fraises

Des bois.

As we wander far, far away, Let’s scare away the lurking rabbit And the buck admiring its great antlers Mirrored in the brook.

Then let’s go home, happy and at ease, Our fingers entwined, Carrying baskets of strawberries

Growing wild.

2. Le Spectre de la rose [The Ghost of the Rose] Soulève ta paupière close Qu’effleure un songe virginal, Je suis le spectre de la rose Que tu portais hier au bal.

Tu me pris encore emperlée Des pleurs d’argent de l’arrosoir, Et parmi la fête étoilée Tu me promenas tout le soir.

Open those eyelids Lost in girlish dreams!

I am the ghost of the rose You wore yesterday to the ball.

You picked me still sparkling With silver tears from watering, And at the glittering fête You paraded me all night long.

Ô toi qui de ma mort fus cause, Sans que tu puisse le chasser, Toutes les nuits mon spectre rose À ton chevet viendra danser.

Mais ne crains rien, je ne réclame Ni messe ni De Profundis; Ce léger parfum est mon âme, Et j’arrive du paradis.

O you who caused my death, Every night my rose-ghost will come And dance at your bedside, And you will not be able to drive it away.

But have no fear, I ask for Neither a Mass nor a funeral; This soft perfume is my soul, And I come from Paradise.

Mon destin fut digne d’envie ; Et pour avoir un sort si beau, Plus d’un aurait donné sa vie, Car sur ton sein j’ai mon tombeau, Et sur l’albâtre où je repose Un poète, avec un baiser, Écrivit: Ci-gît une rose Que tous les rois vont jalouser.

My fate was enviable; Many would have given their lives For so beautiful an end.

For my grave is on your breast And on the pure whiteness where I rest A poet wrote, with a kiss: “Here lieth a rose Which all kings will envy.”

3. Sue les lagunes [Across the Lagoon] Ma belle amie est morte, Je pleurerai toujours; Sous la tombe elle emporte Mon âme et mes amours.

Dans le ciel, sans m’attendre, Elle s’en retourna; L’ange qui l’emmena Ne voulut pas me prendre.

Que mon sort est amer!

Ah ! sans amour, s’en aller sur la mer!

My beautiful love is dead, I’ll weep for ever; Beneath the grave she has taken My soul and my love.

She went back to heaven Without waiting for me; The angel that took her Left me behind.

How bitter is my fate!

Ah, left to sail away loveless on the sea!

La blanche créature Est couchée au cercueil; Comme dans la nature Tout me paraît en deuil!

La colombe oubliée Pleure et songe à l’absent, Mon âme pleure est sent Qu’elle est dépareillée.

Que mon sort est amer!

Ah ! sans amour, s’en aller sur la mer!

The fair creature Lies in her coffin.

As in nature itself, Everything seems to be in mourning: The abandoned dove Weeps and dreams about her loss.

My soul weeps and feels No longer whole.

How bitter is my fate!

Ah, left to sail away loveless on the sea!

Sur moi la nuit immense S’étend comme un linceul; Je chante ma romance Que le ciel entend seul.

Ah ! comme elle était belle Et comme je l’aimais!

Je n’aimerai jamais Une femme autant qu’elle.

Que mon sort est amer!

Ah ! sans amour, s’en aller sur la mer!

The immensity of night Covers me like a shroud.

I sing my song, But only the sky can hear it.

Oh how beautiful she was, And how much I loved her!

I will never love a woman As much as her.

How bitter is my fate!

Ah, left to sail away loveless on the sea!

4. Absence

Reviens, reviens, ma bien-aimée!

Comme une fleur loin du soleil, La fleur de ma vie est fermée, Loin de ton sourire vermeil.

Come back, come back, my beloved!

Like a flower deprived of the sun, The flower of my life has faded For lack of your golden smile.

Entre nos cœurs quelle distance, Tant d’espace entre nos baisers. Ô sort amer ! ô dure absence! Ô grands désirs inapaisés!

What a distance between our hearts, What an abyss between our kisses!

O bitter fate, O painful absence, O immense unrequited longing!

Reviens, reviens, etc.

Come back, come back, etc.

D’ici là-bas, que de campagnes, Que de villes et de hameaux, Que de vallons et de montagnes, À lasser le pied des chevaux!

Between us nothing but open country, Nothing but towns and villages, Nothing but valleys and mountains, Enough to tire the horses’ feet!

Reviens, reviens, etc.

Come back, come back, etc.

5. Au Cimetière [In the Graveyard] Connaissez-vous la blanche tombe, Où flotte avec un son plaintif L’ombre d’un if?

Sur l’if, une pâle colombe, Triste et seule, au soleil couchant, Chante son chant.

Do you know the white tomb Where the yew’s shadow waves With a plaintive sound?

In the yew’s branches a pale dove, Sad and lonely, sings its song As evening falls.

Un air maladivement tendre, À la fois charmant et fatal, Qui vous fait mal, Et qu’on voudrait toujours entendre; Un air, comme en soupire aux cieux L’ange amoureux.

It is a sickly tender melody, Both alluring and deadly; It will harm you, Though you always want to hear it; It is a melody such as a lovelorn angel Might breathe to the heavens.

On dirait que l’âme éveillée Pleure sous terre, à l’unisson De la chanson, Et, du malheur d’être oubliée, Se plaint dans un roucoulement Bien doucement.

You would think an awakened soul Was weeping in unison From beneath the earth, And, at the misery of being abandoned, Was sobbing and cooing Very softly.

Sur les ailes de la musique On sent lentement revenir Un souvenir; Une ombre, une forme angélique Passe dans un rayon tremblant, En voile blanc.

On the wings of music You feel memories slowly Coming back; A shadow, an angelic form Passes in a flickering light, Veiled in white.

Les belles de nuit, demicloses, Jettent leur parfum faible et doux Autour de vous, Et le fantôme aux molles poses Murmure en vous tendant les bras: Tu reviendras !

Night flowers, half closed, Waft their faint sweet scent Over you, And the vague outline of a ghost Reaches out to you and whispers: “You will come back!”

Oh ! jamais plus près de la tombe Je n’irai, quand descend le soir.

Au manteau noir, Écouter la pâle colombe Chanter, sur la pointe de l’if, Son chant plaintif !

Oh, I’ll never go near the grave again As evening falls, with its Dark mantle, To hear the pale dove Singing its plaintive song High up in the yew.

La voile enfle son aile, La brise va souffler !

Tell me, my young beauty, Where would you like to go?

The wind fills the sail And the breeze will blow!

L’aviron est d’ivoire, Le pavillon de moire, Le gouvernail d’or fin; J’ai pour lest une orange, Pour voile, une aile d’ange; Pour mousse un séraphin.

The oar is made of ivory, The flag of silk, The rudder of fine gold.

My ballast is an orange, My sail an angel’s wing, My cabin-boy a seraph.

Dites, la jeune belle, Où voulez-vous aller?

La voile enfle son aile, La brise va souffler!

Tell me, my young beauty, Where would you like to go?

The wind fills the sail And the breeze will blow!

Ou bien est-ce en Norvège, Cueillir la fleur de neige, Ou la fleur d’Angsoka?

To the Baltic?

To the Pacific Ocean?

To the island of Java?

Or perhaps to Norway To pick snowdrops, Or the flower of Angsoka?

Dites, la jeune belle, Où voulez-vous aller?

Tell me, my young beauty, Where would you like to go?

Menez-moi, dit la belle, À la rive fidele Où l’on aime toujours.

— Cette rive, ma chère, On ne la connaît guère, Au pays des amours.

“Take me,” said the girl, “To those faithful shores Where one is always in love.”

“Such shores, my dear, Scarcely exist In the land of love.”

Où voulez-vous aller?

La brise va souffler.

Where would you like to go?

The breeze will blow.

Symphony No. 3 (“Rhenish”) in E-at major, Opus 97 composed 1850-51

by

Robert

SCHUMANN born June 8, 1810 Zwickau, Saxony died July 29, 1856 Endenich, near Bonn

Severance Hall 2014-15

W H E N R O B E R T S C H U M A N N visited Beethoven’s grave in Vienna in 1838, he found there an old steel pen, which he kept for use on special occasions. It is no accident that Schumann chose to use it when he embarked on his first symphony two years later, for all his symphonies are audible testimony to his profound respect for Beethoven as the father of the Romantic symphony. He was distressed to find that Vienna seemed to pay little respect to Beethoven’s memory and to be neglecting his music. One of Schumann’s crusading purposes as a critic and composer was to raise Beethoven to the level he deserved, and the most effective means at his disposal was to compose symphonies of his own that would demonstrate their paternity.

In September 1850, Schumann and his wife, Clara, moved from Dresden, where they had lived for nearly six years, to Düsseldorf, a city on the Rhine whose musical reputation had risen in the three years that Mendelssohn was conductor there, and even more under his successor Ferdinand Hiller, an important and versatile musician with considerable influence in German musical circles. When Hiller moved on to Cologne, he proposed his friend Schumann as successor. After much hesitation, Schumann accepted, little knowing that his years there would be plagued by declining health and by growing controversy over his abilities as a conductor.

But at the start he was warmly welcomed by the Düsseldorfers, especially when he presented them with a series of new works, including a symphony, his fourth and last in sequence but published and known as No. 3. It was performed in February 1851, during his first season. Since his student days in Heidelberg, Schumann had always loved the Rhineland (the long expanse of land along the Rhine River in central Germany), and the immediate inspiration for the symphony, along with its familiar nickname “Rhenish,” came, as Schumann himself explained, from his visit to Cologne cathedral the previous September.

The modern visitor to Cologne is inescapably impressed by the massive twin spires at the west end of the building, but when Schumann was there, there were no spires. The medieval structure had been left unfinished for over three centuries, but in 1842 the immense task of completion began, and was About the Music

59

At a Glance Schumann began to sketch his Symphony in E-flat (No. 3) on November 2, 1850, and completed the score just over five weeks later, on December 9. He conducted the first performance on February 6, 1851, in Düsseldorf.

The first performance in the United States took place on February 2, 1869, in New York, with Theodor Eisfeld conducting the Philharmonic Society.

This symphony runs about 30 minutes in performance.

Schumann scored it for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani, and strings. The nickname “Rhenish” was used by Schumann in casual descriptions, but he did not make it “official” by writing it on the title page of the score.

The Cleveland Orchestra first performed the “Rhenish” Symphony in February 1939 conducted by Artur Rodzinski, who utilized Mahler’s re-orchestration of the score.

Later conductors have preferred Schumann’s original score, occasionally with retouches of their own. The Cleveland Orchestra played Schumann’s Third Symphony most recently in May 1999 under the direction of Christoph von Dohnányi.

60

finally finished in 1880. Schumann was able to see the work in progress, and was perhaps as much impressed by the solemn occasion he witnessed there — the enthronement of Cardinal Archbishop Geissel — as by the building itself. Solemnity is clearly an element of the symphony, especially the extra movement, fourth of the five, which is marked feierlich [“solemn”] and introduces trombones to give breadth and grandeur.

There is a similar weight and dignity at the opening of the first movement, too, when Schumann overcomes his tendency to think in short phrases and writes a splendid theme that launches the work with great panache. The orchestration is rich and full, never featuring instruments on their own, even in a more reflective theme that suits the winds but is actually shared with the strings. He was writing for an orchestra he did not yet know, and in this case a policy of safety contributes to the solemnity.

The second-movement scherzo is not swift or jocular; the model is more Mendelssohn than Beethoven, especially in its middle section with more rapid figures passed back and forth.

The slow movement has touches of Mendelssohn too, although we are nearer to the world of Schumann’s songs. There is some beautiful writing for strings, and even the woodwinds have no cause to complain. When the fourth movement then introduces the steady tread of a solemn procession, Schumann’s private musings come to an end and the public ceremonial takes over, with echoes of Bach in the counterpoint and pre-echoes of Bruckner in its breadth.

The movement’s strange, uncertain ending in the minor key is blown away by the positive vigor of the fifth-movement finale, as the shy, taciturn Schumann presents himself to the Düsseldorf public as a man of faultlessly extrovert temper.

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.

Is she happy? Is he healthy? 10 fingers and 10 toes?

Does she cry too much? Or not enough? Is something in his nose?

Is he too big? Too small? Just right? Need more protein at meals?

Peanut butter? Maybe later? Should she eat apples with peels?

Lose the binky? Lose the diaper? Time to potty train?

Is he babbling enough? What are the best books for his brain?

Should I help him be more social? Does she need more playmates?

Do we give him too many toys? Is it bad he only plays with crates?

When’s a good bedtime? How many hours? Should we limit his naps?

Does she fall too much? Have too many scabs? What can I put on this rash?

Should he be reading? Should he be writing? Doing long division?

Am I a bad parent that when I’m tired I plop him in front of the television?

Is she too pale? Too tan? Too red? What SPF sunscreen?

How can I firmly tell her no without her telling me I’m mean?

Is she gifted? Is she stunted? Do kids ever get depressed?

Why does he take half hour showers? Is this how a kid should dress?

What happened to my little girl, who used to be so nice?

Is this mono? Is he just tired? Is this dandruff? Is this lice?

Just how long does puberty last? Can’t we speed this up?

Or make it stop? Or make it easy? Should she be wearing all this makeup?

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.

Unable to use your tickets?

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA Giancarlo Guerrero, conductor Alisa Weilerstein, cello

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.”
