Perspectivesfrom the Executive Director January 2015 At our Annual Meeting last month, we announced the news that The Cleveland Orchestra achieved a budget surplus for the year ended June 30, 2014, our third consecutive year of positive financial news. These results add to an ongoing record of success that is propelling this institution forward — with ever-greater artistic achievements, growing community service, strong ticket sales, and unprecedented philanthropic support.

For all of these positive trends, we owe much to the leadership and generosity of our Board of Trustees, led by President Dennis W. LaBarre. I invite you to read Dennis’s Annual Report message beginning on page 59 of this book, in which he further details the achievements and changes for an exciting future for the Orchestra here in Northeast Ohio.

Much of what The Cleveland Orchestra does today reflects an overall institutional transformation, including significant changes in the composition of our audience. It’s a fact in our changing world that subscription rates are in decline for most leisure-time pursuits, and The Cleveland Orchestra is not immune to this trend. But in recent years we have succeeded in attracting new and younger audiences to fill the gap.

Back in the mid-1980s, our weekly Severance Hall concert programs were virtually sold out on a subscription basis, with only a handful of the audience attending concerts by purchasing individual tickets. And at that time, subscribers attended very frequently — each of our 7,000 or so subscriber households purchased an average of 20 tickets annually.

Fast forward almost 30 years, and the 2013-14 season tells a very different — but no less vital — story. Last season, just 51% of tickets for our weekly Severance Hall concerts were purchased by subscribers, but nearly as many attended through individual ticket purchases, including thousands of young people. In all, last season’s Severance Hall concerts attracted concertgoers from a total of over 23,000 households! Today, we are playing more music for more people than ever before.

The decline of ticket subscriptions in our society could have spelled an uncertain future for The Cleveland Orchestra. But thanks to the efforts and dedication of everyone in the Orchestra family, we are achieving success in transforming our programming and our audience.

We are developing an audience for the future — of more diverse and younger attendees.

And we are working to give you, our valued patrons, the range of choice that today’s patrons demand. We have made subscriptions more flexible, including “build your own” packages offered this season. And we are planning new options to offer a membership model for concert attendance, beginning with our new group for young professionals, The Circle.

Whether you count yourself among the family of dedicated subscribers or are part of our extended family of individual concertgoers, our goal remains to enable you to experience the magnificent power of great orchestral music, pure and simple.

Thank you and best wishes for a wonderful and music-filled 2015!

The Cleveland Orchestra’s Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Concert, held this year for the 35th time, fills the stage at Severance Hall with performers — featuring the volunteer Celebration Chorus assembled and prepared especially for this event each January.

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.

TRAGIC OPERA IN ONE ACT

Libretto by JOSEPH GREGOR GREGO Music by RICHARD STRAUSS

SEVERANCE HALL

MAY 27 Wednesday MAY 30 Saturday

Franz Welser-Möst leads The Cleveland Orchestra in performances of Richard Strauss’s captivating opera about Daphne, a young woman who must choose between the love of men and her love for nature. Composed during the politically perilous period after the Nazis came to power and first performed in 1938, the opera had deep personal significance to the composer.

Strauss knew that the myth of Daphne was the subject of the very first opera ever composed — and his own version can be viewed as a guarded demand for creative freedom in the face of political and worldly hindrances.

Sung in German with projected English supertitles.

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.

JOHN R. K ASICH GOVERNOR

Greetings, My wife Karen and I are pleased to extend a warm welcome to all those in attendance at The Cleveland Orchestra’s 35th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Concert.

The Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. was a man of unwavering devotion to his faith in God, his family, community, nation, and world.

He dedicated his life to the principles of liberty, justice, and equality, and inspired countless people to strive toward achieving a world not divided by racial lines, but united in a “beautiful symphony of brotherhood.� We applaud your efforts to commemorate his legacy through music and to perpetuate his vision of harmony.

I send my best to all those in attendance this evening and hope the concert is a memorable tribute to a great man with an even greater mission.

Sincerely,

ARMOND BUDISH Cuyahoga County Executive

Dear Friends, It is truly an honor to join The Cleveland Orchestra for its 35th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Concert. The success of this event highlights the values of one of America’s greatest champions of racial justice and equality, a champion who dared to dream of a color-blind society united in justice and peace. The words and deeds of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. continue to ring true and inspire us all today.

Our world-famous Cleveland Orchestra was founded to celebrate music.

In the spirit of brotherhood and sisterhood, this venerable institution brings together people from many different cultural backgrounds. It makes sense that an organization with this kind of rich history would embody the legacy of a leader who fought to unite all races and religions.

In my new role as County Executive, I pledge to do my part to move Cuyahoga County forward by creating jobs and providing a pathway from poverty for our unemployed, underemployed, and most vulnerable citizens.

The doors of this administration are open to every citizen, recognizing that all people can make a meaningful contribution toward building a strong community.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is not only a time for celebration and tribute but also education and remembrance. I am pleased to join The Cleveland Orchestra, City of Cleveland, and the Greater Cleveland Partnership as we celebrate a man who taught us to be courageous in truth, compassion, and service.

I commend and thank you for your continued commitment to justice. And I look forward to working alongside you as we continue to make Cuyahoga County a prosperous place for every citizen.

My best always,

Armond Budish Cuyahoga County Executive

The Cleveland Orchestra

Dear Fellow Citizens: I am pleased and proud to welcome you to Severance Hall for The Cleveland Orchestraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual musical tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. For 35 years, The Cleveland Orchestra has brought Clevelanders together to honor and remember a great American leader. This evening, our worldrenowned Orchestra, led by conductor Robert Porco, joins with the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Chorus, choral conductor William Henry Caldwell, and 14-year-old winner of the national Sphinx Competition for Black and Latino string players, Sterling Elliott, in a salute to Dr. King.

I am also pleased to acknowledge the twelfth anniversary of the MLK Jr. Community Service Awards, presented in cooperation with the City of Cleveland by The Cleveland Orchestra and the Greater Cleveland Partnership through the Commission on Economic Inclusion. Each year, these awards recognize members of our community who have positively impacted Cleveland in the spirit of the teachings and example of Dr. King.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed that people of all races would unite in harmony and triumph in the struggle for peace, justice, and equality for all of humanity. Through this concert, we celebrate Dr. Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream and recommit to the goal of making Cleveland a city where citizens live and work as one, with equality, respect, and justice for all.

Enjoy the concert.

Sincerely,

Mayor Frank G. Jackson

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 2015 Community Service Awards The Cleveland Orchestra and the Greater Cleveland Partnership, in cooperation with the City of Cleveland, are pleased to announce the recipients of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service Awards, who are positively impacting Cleveland in the spirit of the teachings and example of Dr. King: Distinguished Gentlemen of Spoken Word — youth El Barrio Workforce Development Center — organization / business E.F. Boyd & Son Funeral Home and Crematory — organization / business Rev. Dr. Otis Moss, Jr. — adult / lifetime achievement Award recipients demonstrate one or more of the following qualities: • Promotion of social justice • Promotion of diversity and inclusion • Leadership in community building • Advocacy for educational excellence • Involvement with music and the arts to promote greater understanding and acceptance

ABOUT THE 2015 AWARD RECIPIENTS Distinguished Gentlemen of Spoken Word are young African-American men from the Cleveland community, ages 8-18, who perform poetry to live audiences. In the words of their nominator, “With precision and stunning style, these young men take classic poetry to pieces and combine it with movement.” When the Distinguished Gentlemen stride on stage in a single file line and begin to recite poetry in unison, the result is explosive and inspiring. They study the writings of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Shakespeare, and Langston Hughes and learn to write various poetic forms of their own. They write compellingly about the harsh realities of poverty and urban life, and also about the unique bond and brotherhood

The Cleveland Orchestra

that they have created with each other. Director Honey Bell-Bey is the visionary founder behind this outstanding literary program. These wonderful stereotypebusting young men use their art as a tool to promote greater understanding and acceptance. They perform throughout Ohio at churches, schools, and community events, and will soon travel abroad thanks to the generosity of Clevelanders answering a call for support. As Honey Bell-Bey says, the Distinguished Gentlemen of Spoken Word are, “living proof that all African-American males are not delinquent, they are not violent, they are not incapable of learning, but indeed they are talented, brilliant, fabulous, and distinguished!”

El Barrio Workforce Development Center focuses on developing and matching qualified candidates with companies seeking diversity in their organization. El Barrio’s training and employment services — including General Job Readiness, Job Readiness in Español (the only program in Ohio to provide services in English and Spanish), Customer Service, Refugee Employment Program, English as a Second Language, and Case Management & Retention Services — prepare individuals to enter the workforce ready and motivated, and result in steady jobs and career-building opportunities. At the same time, El Barrio works hand-in-hand with a network of more than 40 national and local companies, including some of our region’s largest and most successful (e.g., Home Depot, Dollar Bank, The Cleveland Clinic, and CVS), to match them with a strong and diverse talent pool. El Barrio was recently recognized as a “best practice model” by the National Council of La Raza, the largest Hispanic advocacy and workforce development organization in the country, and has been acknowledged for programming excellence by the League of United Latin American Citizens, among others. Dr. King once said, “All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance, and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.” El Barrio exemplifies this ideal, year after year, by improving the job opportunities and quality of life for hundreds of individuals, and positively impacting our community’s workforce, which benefits us all.

E.F. Boyd & Son Funeral Home and Crematory, one of the oldest funeral homes in the Cleveland area, was advancing civil rights long before civil rights became a national movement. Racial segregation and injustice in this country extended not only to every aspect of living, but also to death and dying. Cemeteries in our city at the turn of the 20th century were segregated.

This was the America that existed when founder Elmer Boyd began his professional service in 1905. E.F. Boyd & Son raised funeral service and care to new levels of professional achievement and standards of excellence, providing significant opportunity for professional advancement to many African-American people in our community. Without great fanfare or recognition, E.F. Boyd & Severance Hall 2014-15

Son became a strong advocate for, and resource within the black community of Cleveland, supporting generations of young people and encouraging them to surmount the battlements of racial segregation through educational and professional achievement— and they are a living legacy to the community work and enrichment accomplished by E.F. Boyd & Son. Many African-American social groups, fraternities and sororities, the local NAACP branch, the Call & Post, and many youth organizations and school groups have been advanced by the philanthropy and example of this professional business organization. The success of E.F. Boyd & Son over the years has also helped professional and business communities to understand in profound, new ways the importance of civil rights. Just last month Mr. William F. Boyd, Sr. (the “& son” of E.F. Boyd) was laid to rest. E.F. Boyd & Son’s work will be carried on not only by family members, but through all of the citizens who have benefited from its unrelenting pursuit of racial justice, and its mentorship, philanthropy, and commitment to the Cleveland community.

Rev. Dr. Otis Moss, Jr., Pastor Emeritus of Cleveland’s historic Olivet Institutional Baptist Church, is one of the remaining, original, central figures of the Civil Rights Movement in this country. His influential role in the ongoing work of social justice, civil rights, and civic leadership is recognized locally and nationally. Rev. Moss was a former associate pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, serving under Dr. King himself, and has been a trusted advisor to presidents from Carter to Obama. He is a sought-after speaker nationally as a tireless, articulate, faith-centered voice for justice, inclusion, and economic opportunity for all people. Rev. Moss has been a driving force, often behind the scenes, in nearly every public accomplishment of law and policy in Cleveland’s civic life. He also established the life-enhancing program of Freedom Schools developed by Marion Wright Edelman through the Children’s Defense Fund, a dynamic, intensive summer reading program for at-risk youth. And his leadership, influence, and stature are reflected in University Hospital’s Otis Moss Jr. Health Center, which offers a wide range of primary and specialty care in a spiritually supportive environment. Dr. Moss has also been a tireless advocate for our citywide Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration, having established through Olivet an annual civic recognition — long before MLK Day was established nationally — as a way of continuing to highlight the always unfinished work of racial justice in our civic life. In the words of his nominator, “Indeed Dr. Moss was not only with the drum major for justice himself, Dr. Moss is still playing in the original drum line. The rhythm has changed us all.”

The descriptions above of this year’s Award Recipients are excerpted and condensed from the nomination letters submitted.

Robert Porco Director of Choruses Frances P. and Chester C. Bolton Endowed Chair The Cleveland Orchestra

Robert Porco became director of choruses for The Cleveland Orchestra in 1998. In addition to overseeing choral activities and preparing the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus and the Blossom Festival Chorus for a variety of concert programs each season, Mr. Porco conducts the Orchestra’s annual series of Christmas concerts at Severance Hall and regularly conducts subscription concert programs, both at Severance Hall and Blossom. In recent seasons, he has led performances of Handel’s Messiah, Vaughan Williams’s A Sea Symphony, Verdi’s Requiem, and evenings of Broadway and American favorites at Blossom.

Highlights of Mr. Porco’s Cleveland tenure have included preparing the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus for a wide variety of performances and repertoire, including performances of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 conducted by Franz Welser-Möst in January 2007, released as a Deutsche Grammophon recording. He has prepared the Chorus for touring appearances with the Orchestra, including the recent 2013 European Tour, and performances at the Edinburgh International Festival, Lucerne Festival, London Proms, and Carnegie Hall, as well as for the series of operas at Severance Hall under Welser-Möst’s direction.

In 2011, Mr. Porco was honored by Chorus America with its annual Michael Korn Founders Award for a lifetime of significant contributions to the professional choral art. His activities and achievements across four decades of work have included preparing choruses for such prominent conductors as Pierre Boulez, James Conlon, Christoph von Dohnányi, Raymond Leppard, James Levine, Jesús LópezCobos, Zubin Mehta, André Previn, Kurt Sanderling, Robert Shaw, and Franz Welser-Möst, among others. As a guest conductor, Mr. Porco has led performances across North America, and in Europe and Asia, with appearances from Edinburgh to Lucerne, Reykjavik to Taipei, and from Chicago’s Grant Park Festival to the Cincinnati May Festival, where he has served as director of choruses since 1989.

Ohio native Robert Porco served as chairman of the choral department at Indiana University 1980-98, and in recent years taught doctoral-level conducting at the school. Highlights of his work at Indiana University have included a special performance by 250 students of Leonard Bernstein’s Mass as part of the Tanglewood Music Festival’s celebration of the composer’s 70th birthday.

As teacher and mentor, Mr. Porco has guided and influenced the development of hundreds of musicians, many of whom are now active as professional conductors, singers, or teachers. As a sought-after guest instructor and coach, his teaching work has included programs at Harvard University, Westminster Choir College, and the University of Miami Frost School of Music.

“Lift Every Voice and Sing” words by James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938), music by J. Rosamond Johnson (1873-1954)

Sterling Elliott Cellist Sterling Elliott is the first place laureate of the Junior Division of the 2014 Sphinx Competition presented annually by the DTE Energy Foundation. At the age of fourteen, he is making his debut with The Cleveland Orchestra in this evening’s concert. He performs as part of the Sphinx Soloist Program sponsored by the GM Foundation.

Sterling Elliott began his cello studies at the age of three under the direction of Suzuki cello teacher Susan Hines. The youngest of three siblings, Sterling originally wanted to play the violin (like his older brother and sister), but, with a bit of encouragement, he helped complete the family’s capabilities by learning to play the cello. He performs frequently with his siblings and mother in the Elliott Family Quartet/Trio.

Excelling at the cello very early, Sterling quickly developed extensive solo, orchestral, and chamber experience. After his solo recital debut at the age of three, he has continued to perform several solo recitals each year. Sterling has been a member of several string and symphony orchestras since he was just six years old, often serving as principal cellist.

He made his orchestral solo debut after winning a competition at the age of seven, and then went on to place first in many concerto competitions, resulting in a variety of orchestral solo appearances. He has also appeared on NPR’s From the Top radio program, where he was announced as a recipient of a $10,000 Jack Kent Cooke Award.

Sterling Elliott is a straight “A” honor student at Menchville High School in Newport News, Virginia, and enjoys math and sciences. He is currently a private student of Virginia Symphony Orchestra’s principal cello, Mike Daniels, and has been generously loaned a Tupper cello by the Carlsen Cello Foundation in Seattle, Washington.

THE SPHINX COMPETITION is a program of the Sphinx Organization, a national arts

organization that focuses on youth and minority involvement in classical music. Held every year in Ann Arbor and Detroit, Michigan, the competition is open to all junior high, high school, and college-age Black and Latino string players residing in the United States. The purpose of the competition is to offer these young musicians an opportunity to compete under the guidance of an internationally renowned panel of judges and to perform with established professional musicians in a competition setting. Its primary goals are to encourage, develop, and recognize classical music talent in the Black and Latino communities. While in Cleveland, Sphinx laureates often assist education and community relations efforts to increase interest, awareness, and knowledge of classical music through school visits in Cleveland and East Cleveland, and presentations at various community sites.

The Cleveland Orchestra celebrates the dreams of Martin Luther King Jr.

by Carol Jacobs

demonstrated early its commitment to honoring this country’s greatest civil rights leader. Four days after the April 4, 1968, assassination of Martin Luther King, The Cleveland Orchestra under George Szell performed the “Allegretto” movement from Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 as a memorial tribute to the life of Dr. King.

Toward the end of the next decade, The Cleveland Orchestra played a key role in the evolution of a more formal and institutionalized recognition of Dr. King’s life. The Orchestra’s first Martin Luther King Jr. Concert took place in January 1980. In the program book of that first concert, Dr. Donald G. Jacobs, executive director of the Greater Cleveland Interchurch Council, applauded The Cleveland Orchestra “ for taking seriously the need for the whole community to recognize the vital role the life and death of Dr. King continues to play in the struggle for racial justice and human dignity.”

The Martin Luther King Jr. Concert quickly became an annual event both as a tribute to Dr. King and as an expression of commitment to the struggle for racial justice and human dignity. From 1980 to 1986, the Musical Arts Association and the Interchurch Council collaborated in presenting these Severance Hall concerts. In January 1986, the Jewish Community Federation and the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland joined the Interchurch Council and the Musical Arts Association in sponsoring the event. That same year, the federal government officially designated the third Monday in January as a public holiday celebrating the life and work of Dr. King.

In 1986, the City of Cleveland became directly involved in presenting these concerts at the request of Cleveland City Council President George Forbes and Mayor George Voinovich.

From 1987 to 1997, the annual King concert took place at Cory United Methodist Church, the site of Dr. King’s last speech in Cleveland. The concert was held at Severance Hall in 1998 and again in 2000 as part of the re-opening festivities following the Hall’s restoration. Severance Hall has continued to host the concert since then.

Many distinguished performing artists have participated in these concerts, including Andrew Davis, Christoph von Dohnányi, Leslie Dunner, Raymond Harvey, Isaiah Jackson, Kay George Roberts, André Raphel Smith, Thomas Wilkins, Florence Quivar, Daisy Newman, Cissy Houston, Janet Alcorn, Barbara Conrad, John Cheek, Natalie Hinderas, William Warfield, Leon

Bibb, and John Fleming. Music Director Franz Welser-Möst first conducted the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Concert in 2003, and also conducted it in 2004, 2006, and 2009.

Beginning with the 1989 concert, volunteers from the greater Cleveland area were organized by Alvin Parris into a Community Gospel Choir, now called the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Chorus. In the past decade, William Henry Caldwell has taken on the role of chorus director. Other choral participants have included the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus, Prestonian Choral Ensemble, Morgan State University Choir, Shaw High School Concert Choir, Everett Moore Singers, and the Central State University Chorus.

An important facet of these programs has been the presentation of contemporary American works, including those of Donald Erb, William Grant Still, Ulysses Kay, Carman Moore, Alvin Parris, Joseph Schwantner, Hale Smith, Undine Smith Moore, George Walker, and Lanny Wolfe. The singing of “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” with audience participation, has been a tradition since the 1984 concert.

Carol Jacobs served as Archivist for The Cleveland Orchestra from 1990 to 2007.

The Life of Martin Luther King Jr.

by Vivien-Sue Penn and Donald McNeely The following biographical sketch is reprinted, with appreciation, from the New Jersey Education Association’s “NJEA Review” of January 1977.

T H I S G E N E R AT I O N H A S

Martin Luther KING Jr. born January 15, 1929 Atlanta, Georgia died April 4, 1968 Memphis, Tennessee

Severance Hall 2014-15

little or no direct experience or knowledge of the struggle for civil rights and human dignity in this country, or of the heroes who led the protest, nor the price they paid. In this age when we still see so much violence around us, it is necessary and proper to study the lives and works of men and women who achieved so much with nonviolent techniques. Martin Luther King Jr. was one of those persons.

Michael Luther King was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on January 15, 1929, the son and grandson of Baptist ministers. He later changed his name to Martin Luther King. He was protected somewhat as a child because he was the son of “substantial” black parents. However, he, too, faced personal incidents in the South that smacked of discrimination and social injustice. In Atlanta, he attended Booker T. Washington High School. By the time he was 19, he had graduated as a special gifted student from Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, and then continued his ministerial education by obtaining a Bachelor of Divinity Degree at Crozer Theological Seminary. He was awarded a PhD from Boston University in 1955.

While he was pursuing his education in Massachusetts, King met and married Coretta Scott from Alabama, who was studying voice at the New England Conservatory of Music.

During those early formative years, he developed a fascination for the life and teachings of Mahatma Gandhi, who articulated a doctrine of passive resistance to gain freedom in India.

While Martin Luther King was studying for his doctorate in 1954, he was offered and accepted the pastorate of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama.

In 1955, black people in Alabama were still sent to the rear of any public conveyance — segregated seating. The Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA) was organized in December 1955 to change that situation. King became MIA’s president and preached resistance with love — not hate — for the oppressors. During this period of change in Alabama, Martin Luther King Jr.

55

many black people were arrested, physically attacked, and otherwise intimidated. Still their protest made its point. The United States Supreme Court finally ruled that existing Alabama laws regarding segregated seating were unconstitutional. Blacks and whites rode buses for the first time on a non-segregated basis. The success of the venture taught civil rights advocates that there was power in good organization and strong leadership, which King provided.

Martin Luther King was convinced that his leadership strength lay in its nonviolent approach and proceeded to follow his own dictates by organizing the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) in January 1957 to widen the effects of his Montgomery success.

King moved his family to Atlanta in 1959, where he joined forces with his father, who was the minister associated with the Ebenezer Baptist Church.

Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life was anything but nonviolent. He was frequently arrested, jailed, and physically bruised. Fire hoses and attack dogs became a way of life for this fighter of social injustice. His life was one long thread of demonstrations on buses and other public conveyances, in restaurants, hotels, department stores and other places that needed to be desegregated.

Massive demonstrations took the form of freedom marches in

Alabama and Washington. These challenged people of all faiths, races and religions to join the fight for freedom for all Americans.

From all over the nation people joined together in support of the civil rights movement. King’s speeches were impassioned and concerned his personal and his race’s fight against prejudice. They often referred to his philosophy of nonviolence, containing the “I have a dream” appeal first introduced at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., during the 1963 March on Washington.

In 1964, Martin Luther King, at the age of 35, became the youngest man to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Four years later he was struck down while supporting a sanitation worker strike in Memphis, Tennessee. While standing on a motel balcony, on April 4, 1968, he was shot by an assassin.

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 120,000 young people have participated.

U N D E R 1 8 s F R E E 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.

STUDENT TICKET PROGRAMS

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 Fan Card 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 CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA TRA THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

From the President This message from Musical Arts Association president Dennis W. LaBarre is excerpted and condensed from the Association’s recently published Annual Report. Here, Mr. LaBarre discusses the continuing progress that The Cleveland Orchestra is making in implementing changes for a stronger future, as an institution devoted to the citizens of Northeast Ohio who created it and have sustained it. The complete Annual Report can be read online at clevelandorchestra.com by clicking on “Publications” in the “News & Updates” section.

A S I L O O K B A C K O V E R the past season, I am struck by the

enormous transformations this institution has achieved. Some of these changes began almost a decade ago, and continued with new resolve and discipline through economic uncertainty in recent years. Now we are focused on continued progress and innovation as we plan for our Centennial and beyond. With the support and enthusiasm of our community, we are creating an even stronger Cleveland Orchestra — one capable of serving Northeast Ohio to the utmost, innovative in extending our global artistic brand through established residency programs in Miami and Europe, flexible enough to adapt to future twists in the road, and renowned as ever for musical excellence, for music education and participation, for young audiences, for community service, and as an enduring symbol of this community’s spirit and pride.

Our progress toward true financial health is reflected in the financial achievements of the past year. For the third consecutive year, we have achieved a balanced budget — through increased ticket revenues, increased donations and support, and prudent cost control. For 2013-14, in fact, with the dedicated efforts of everyone involved, we recorded a bottom line surplus of $940,000 beyond our balanced budget goal.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

In concert with these annual financial achievements — including a record $10.6 million in Annual Fund support — the Sound for the Centennial Campaign’s endowment component has also moved forward. Campaign efforts have to date achieved $62 million in cash and pledges to the endowment, and $50 million in legacy commitments. The endowment now stands at $173 million — up from a low of $97 million following the financial crisis in 2008. Now we must focus on the Campaign’s successful completion by 2018, expanding the endowment to provide a greater contribution to our operating budget and building ever stronger annual support for specific artistic and community initiatives.

The Orchestra’s goal of building the youngest audience of any orchestra is becoming reality. Our new summer concert series, Summers@Severance, was launched in August 2014 to great success, with nearly half of the audience attending a Cleveland Orchestra concert for the first time. The success of this and other audience development CONTINUES

THE CLEVELAND ORC

This financial success is part of a larger, ongoing transformation in spirit. Franz Welser-Möst, whose tenure as Music Director now extends through 2022, has led a comprehensive set of new initiatives for the Orchestra. He is a driver of innovation, both artistic and programmatic. He has spotlighted the Orchestra’s role as a key leader in music education, and led us toward greater community engagement. Above all, he is the standard bearer for the Orchestra’s renowned musical excellence.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHES-

News CONTINUED

programs echoed the achievements of the Orchestra’s Center for Future Audiences and the many programs it supports, which have attracted well over 100,000 young people to Orchestra concerts at Severance Hall and Blossom in just three years. Through the newest Center-funded program, The Circle, launched in January 2014, we are developing support from a new generation of Northeast Ohio’s young-professional leaders.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

Today, more than ever, we understand that we must support our schools, embrace our civic leadership role, increase access to orchestral music for all, and partner with other community and cultural organizations to sustain the city whose name we so proudly carry throughout the world. The Orchestra’s education programs reach over 60,000 students of all ages each year as part of its ongoing goal to serve as an indispensible education and community resource. The Orchestra’s second annual “At Home” neighborhood residency was whole-heartedly embraced by the citizens and students of Lakewood, with over thirty-five events culminating in a soldout free community concert led by Franz Welser-Möst, streamed live on the internet, and recorded for broadcast by our partner WVIZ/ideastream.

CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA THE CLEVELAND ORCHE

Transformation is also taking place behind the scenes, in how we do business, and in upgrading our infrastructure and resources. We have established specialized task forces to explore new methods of serving expanded and current audiences in better ways — from improving the experience of attending Cleveland Orchestra concerts, to investigating improvements in communicating with our patrons and the longterm goal of enabling digital access to our rich store of recordings and history.

Our progress over the past year is the result of focus, enthusiasm, and dedication from the entire Cleveland Orchestra family. I am grateful to all those who have played a role in this integrated, far-reaching effort at transforming what The Cleveland Orchestra means to our region.

In summary, the past season was a year of programmatic innovation, of financial strength, of increasing community service. A time of transition and continuity. And, as always, of extraordinary artistic excellence. It has been a perfect balance of the traditions that have made us strong for nearly a century and the transformation that will ensure our future success.

The Cleveland Orchestra is now poised to make the leap from recent steady growth to longterm financial strength. Doing so will allow us the freedom to innovate and to reach new heights of musical and institutional excellence, all for the benefit of everyone in Northeast Ohio. Now is the time to help propel the Orchestra into a future built on a sound financial foundation, a future of excellence, a future of service to this community. Together, we can ensure that The Cleveland Orchestra remains a pillar of music and art, education and community pride into the decades ahead.

OrchestraNews Cleveland Orchestra announces third consecutive year with balanced budget

numbers for the year — including a record $10.6 million in Annual Fund support. He highlights the Orchestra’s Sound for the Centennial Campaign, with efforts to date having achieved $62 million in cash and pledges to the endowment, and $50 million in legacy commitments. The endowment today stands at $172 million — up from a low of $97 million following the financial crisis in 2008. Building on this success and strong vote of support from Northeast Ohio, the Trustees and staff will now focus on the Campaign’s successful completion by 2018.

“Expanding the endowment to provide a greater contribution to operating budget will provide the Orchestra with the financial strength to remain secure during future difficult economic cycles,” LaBarre said at the Annual Meeting. “Once this is achieved, we can focus our fundraising efforts on an ever stronger Annual Fund and special fundraising for specific artistic and community initiatives.”

“The achievements of the past year were considerable,” said Hanson in his remarks.

“The annual financial results reinforce the success of recent years, while artistically the Orchestra reached new heights. From coffee shops to cathedrals, from Blossom to Severance Hall, over the past year we continued our dedication to community engagement.

Our second annual neighborhood residency, titled ‘At Home in Lakewood, Ohio,’ served to strengthen the bond between The Cleveland Orchestra and the citizens of Northeast Ohio.

Concert attendance by young people under age 25 surged to over 41,000 in the past year, with young people now making up over 20% of the audience for classical concerts at Severance Hall, taking us well on our way toward securing the youngest audience of any orchestra.”

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

The audited financial results of The Cleveland Orchestra’s 2013-14 fiscal year were reported at the Annual Meeting of the Musical Arts Association on Tuesday evening, December 2.

President of the Board of Trustees, Dennis W. LaBarre, announced a year-end budgetary surplus to the assembled Association members at the meeting in Severance Hall, the Orchestra’s home concert hall since 1931. The Musical Arts Association is the non-profit organization that owns and operates The Cleveland Orchestra, Severance Hall, and Blossom Music Center.

Financial achievements of the past year included the third consecutive balanced annual budget — through increased ticket revenues, increased contributions, and ongoing cost control. At year end, the Orchestra’s 2013-14 revenues of $49.6 million exceeded expenses of $48.7 million. This was achieved with year-over-year revenues increasing 3% from 2012-13, while expense growth was held at just 1.5% over the previous year. This is the third consecutive year of balanced operating results, each made possible by special fundraising secured to support operations during a campaign to increase the endowment and the Orchestra’s long-term financial strength.

Advance copies of the Orchestra’s published Annual Report were distributed at the meeting and will be made available to all Musical Arts Association members in the coming weeks. The report features year-end messages from LaBarre and Executive Director Gary Hanson, as well as a financial summary and an overview of the year’s concert and community activities. The report highlights the thousands of individual, corporate, and foundation donors, plus contributing government agencies, all of whom made the positive outcome possible through their support.

In his message, Mr. LaBarre outlines the

W.E.L.C.O.M.E New bassoonist joins Orchestra at start of 2015

Soldout MLK Celebration Concert on January 18 to be broadcast live on radio

The Cleveland Orchestra welcomes the first of three recent hires to its ranks for concerts January 8-10.

Gareth Thomas joins the Orchestra as second bassoon in January 2015. He most recently served as principal bassoon of the Toledo Symphony Orchestra 2010-14. He received a bachelor of music degree with academic honors from the Cleveland Institute of Music in 2009 and a master of music degree from Northwestern University in 2010. His teachers have included John Clouser, principal bassoon of The Cleveland Orchestra, and Christopher Millard, principal bassoon of the National Arts Centre Orchestra in Ottawa. Gareth Thomas received the George F. Goslee Prize in bassoon at CIM and first prize at the 2006 National Arts Centre Orchestra Bursary Competition. He has appeared as soloist with the Toledo Symphony Orchestra and the National Arts Centre Orchestra, and has participated in the Pacific Music Festival and the Sarasota Music Festival.

Although tickets for the Orchestra’s annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Concert were soldout within minutes of going “on sale” on January 2, the concert will be shared by thousands more through live radio broadcast on radio stations WCLV (104.9 FM) and WCPN (90.3 FM).

The concert on Sunday evening, January 18, is The Cleveland Orchestra’s 35th annual concert celebrating the spirit of Dr. King’s life, leadership, and vision in music, song, and community service recognition. The concert once again features the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Chorus of volunteer singers from across Northeast Ohio. Fourteen-yearold cellist Sterling Elliott also performs with the Orchestra.

Admission to the concert is free, but tickets are required — and all tickets were soldout within minutes of becoming available on Friday, January 2, at 9 a.m.

OrchestraNews M.U.S.I.C.I.A.N S.A.L.U.T.E The Musical Arts Association gratefully acknowledges the artistry and dedication of all the musicians of The Cleveland Orchestra. In addition to rehearsals and concerts throughout the year, many musicians donate performance time in support of community engagement, fundraising, education, and audience development activities.

We are pleased to recognize these musicians, listed below, who have volunteered for such events and presentations during the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons.

Severance Hall 2014-15

Two new chairs of The Cleveland Orchestra were named in 2014 in recognition of generous planned estate gifts created by longtime Orchestra patrons. The Robert B. Benyo Endowed Horn Chair has been added to the roster and is currently held by section horn player Jesse McCormick, while the Thomas J. and Judith Fay Gruber Endowed Cello Chair is held by cellist Tanya Ell. The chairs are named in perpetuity, and will help support the Orchestra’s annual costs, including musician salaries.

As a prominent Northeast Ohio physician, Dr. Robert Benyo appreciated The Cleveland Orchestra’s precision and clarity of sound. Having subscribed and supported The Cleveland Orchestra for over thirty years, Dr. Benyo remembered the Orchestra in his estate to support and help perpetuate the ensemble’s highest standards of performing excellence.

Judith and Tom Gruber have long enjoyed experiencing the Orchestra at Severance Hall. Judith, a member of the Blossom Women’s Committee, supports the efforts of the Orchestra through her tireless volunteerism. In creating plans for their legacy gift, Judith and Tom also desired to support and promote the continuing superior artistry of the Orchestra’s musicians and ensemble playing.

Both of these gifts join together with hundreds of other endowment gifts to support The Cleveland Orchestra in perpetuity. Thousands of generous individuals have made a commitment to the Orchestra through outright endowment gifts or legacy plans, through the annual fund and special project support. To learn more about including the Orchestra in your estate plans, please contact Bridget Mundy at 216-231-8006.

$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 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.

THE CLEVELAN D ORCHESTRA R E C O R D I N G S great gift ideas

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. Sy FFlorian in Linz, Austria in 2012. “A great orchestra, a Bruckner expert. . . . Five out of five e 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 accountt off D 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.

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 HAILED AS ONE OF

88

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.

TCHAIKOVSKY’S FIFTH SYMPHONY

AT THE MOVIES:

VERTIGO

Thursday January 29 at 7:30 p.m.

Friday January 30 at 11:00 a.m. * <18s Saturday January 31 at 8:00 p.m.

Friday February 13 at 8:00 p.m.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA Tugan Sokhiev, conductor Vadim Gluzman, violin *

The collaboration between director Alfred Hitchcock and composer Bernard Herrmann created a series of unforgetable films. And Vertigo — with its rich, seductive, and complex musical score — is perhaps the greatest achievement of this legendary partnership.

In the film’s opening scene, police detective John “Scottie” Ferguson (James Stewart) is afflicted with vertigo during a rooftop chase that results in the death of a fellow officer.

An old college chum hires Scottie as a private investigator to follow his wife, Madeleine (Kim Novak). Scottie becomes increasingly enamored of the woman he is following — and observations turn to obsession.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA Brett Mitchell, conductor

Tchaikovsky’s music is often considered the most Romantic of any composer. His Fifth Symphony has been an audience favorite since its premiere in 1888 — acclaimed for its soaring melodies, and memorably passionate music.

For this concert, it is paired with two additional Russian works, from the 20th century, a firey overture by Shostakovich and the technically exhilarating Second Violin Concerto by Prokofiev. * not appearing on Friday morning concert Sponsor: Jones Day
