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 25 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!

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

cerne Festival, at New York’s Lincoln Center Festival, and at Indiana University. 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.

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. Sponsored by Litigation Management, Inc.

Apollo and Daphne, marble statue by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, 1625.

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.

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

Severance Hall 2014-15

From the President

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-

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.

IN MEMORIAM

James D. Ireland III January 1, 1950 to January 20, 2015

The entire Cleveland Orchestra family mourns the loss of our dear colleague and friend, Jamie Ireland. His death at age 65 is an enormous loss for the Northeast Ohio community. Jamie loved this Orchestra and served and supported the institution with great distinction. He was a member of the Orchestra’s Board of Trustees for two decades and served as its President 2002-08. He loved The Cleveland Orchestra from a young age, attending his first concert at age seven, and later becoming a devoted subscriber and an Orchestra Trustee. He was a tireless fundraiser and Orchestra advocate. He chaired the search committee that identified and in 1999 chose Franz Welser-Möst as The Cleveland Orchestra’s seventh music director. As President, he was integral to creating a transformative vision for the Orchestra’s future — combining a continuity of musical excellence with a renewed commitment to serving our region through quality programming and innovative thinking. Jamie was an effective and energetic community leader. In addition to his work with The Cleveland Orchestra, he advocated tirelessly for the community and held positions to advance that work on the boards of University Circle Inc., Great Lakes Science Center, Greater Cleveland Partnership, Northeast Ohio Regional Nonprofit Technology (NorTech), and the Opportunity Corridor Advisory Committee. We loved Jamie Ireland. We loved him for who he was and for what he did for The Cleveland Orchestra and for the community. As a person, he was unfailingly gracious, even humble, in spite of his stature as one of Cleveland’s most active and important leaders. Excellence and service defined him, and underscored all his work, for the orchestra he loved and for the community to which he was devoted. We mourn his loss and we pay tribute to his great legacy. We will miss Jamie very much.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

The Cleveland Orchestra has announced its 2015 Blossom Music Festival season. Details and subscription renewals are being mailed out to last year’s series subscribers. Lawn Ticket Books are on sale through the Ticket Office and website, along with new subscriptions. Individual tickets for the entire season will go on sale beginning May 12. Subscribers will have the opportunity to order additional tickets in a pre-sale period beginning April 20. The season features Franz Welser-Möst conducting Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with soloists and the Blossom Festival Chorus, and concludes Labor Day Weekend with a program devoted to the film music of John Williams. Complete details, information, and series options can be viewed at the Orchestra’s website, clevelandorchestra.com.

Details of the 2015 Lincoln Center Festival this coming summer, including a week of concerts featuring The Cleveland Orchestra in residence, have been announced. Led by music director Franz Welser-Möst, The Cleveland Orchestra returns to Lincoln Center Festival with four concerts (July 15-18) focused on the exploration of the relationship of humanity with nature. The Orchestra offers two performances of Richard Strauss’s rarely-performed ”bucolic tragedy” Daphne, highlighting Franz Welser-Möst’s passion and expertise in the operatic repertory, along with two additional programs featuring works that probe humanity’s understanding of the natural world, by Messiaen, Dvořák, Beethoven, and Strauss. All of these works are being presented in concerts at Severance Hall in May. Richard Strauss’s seldom performed, one-act opera, Daphne, is among the great works of the composer’s later period. With a libretto by Joseph Gregor, the work was premiered in 1938, and retells the story of the beautiful nymph Daphne, with a plot derived from the familiar myth from Ovid’s Metamorphoses. In it, Daphne is an outsider who cherishes the beauty of nature, where she feels most at home. When the god Apollo betrays her trust and kills his rival, Daphne is inconsolable. Apollo is moved by Daphne’s profound grief and grants her immortality by transforming her into a laurel tree. This operatic gem has been called one of Strauss’s supreme love letters to the soprano voice. It is being presented at Severance Hall on May 27 and 30.

The music continues after the concert on 89.7 FM Now with more news and information programming during the day and more of your classical music favorites in the evening.

INTRODUCING THE CONCERTS

National Passion & Musical Virtuosity THIS WEEK’S CONCERTS

feature three works written across a fift y-year timespan at the end of the 19th and into the 20th century. Two are by renowned Russian composers, while the third is a rarelyheard work by a composer who fought long and hard against Russia’s domination over his country. Guest conductor Hannu Lintu leads, making his Cleveland Orchestra debut. The concerts begin with a brief orchestral work by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. Pohjola’s Daughter, from 1906, is music about one particular story in Finland’s great national epic, Kalevala, which inspired many of this composer’s early works. Its music, drawn from a storyline from which Sibelius originally hoped to create an opera, is “about” a people and nation. For the evening concerts, guest soloist Vadim Gluzman comes to center stage for Prokofiev’s challenging — and exhilarating — Second Violin Concerto from 1935. In this, the composer, having recently returned from the West to live permanently in the 20th-century’s version of Russia (a.k.a. the Soviet Union), happily mixes popular charm (to please audiences and the Soviet authorities) with his own ideas of what music should and could be. The firebrand daring of his youth is not gone, but has been melded into a mature voice that is also clearly Russian and plenty entertaining. The concerts conclude with Tchaikovsky’s big and brash Fift h Symphony, from 1888. Here the composer wrestled with the weight that Fate had pressed against his shoulders — and argued himself (or at least his music) to a strong and optimistic ending. His own life was filled with as much trouble as triumph, and often overcome with insecurities. Art, however, can only partially imitate life — and this symphony has its own tale to tell, quite separate from Tchaikovsky’s inner demons. It is a fully satisfying experience, drenched in melody and grandeur. —Eric Sellen

Introduction

Hannu Lintu Finnish conductor Hannu Lintu became chief conductor of the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra in August 2013, having served as its principal guest conductor the previous season. He is making his Cleveland Orchestra debut with this weekend’s concerts. Educated in piano and cello at the Turku Conservatory and the Sibelius Academy, Hannu Lintu studied conducting with Atso Almila, Eri Klas, and Jorma Panula. He participated in masterclasses with Ilja Musin and also worked with Myung-Whun Chung. In 1994, Mr. Lintu won the Nordic Conducting Competition in Bergen and, in 1996, graduated with honors from the Sibelius Academy. This past September, he became a part-time professor of conducting there. Hannu Lintu served as chief conductor of the Turku Philharmonic Orchestra (1998-2001) and chief conductor and artistic director of the Helsingborg Symphony Orchestra (2002-05). He has also held the positions of artistic director of the Summer Sounds Festival of the Avanti! Chamber Orchestra (2005), artistic director and chief conductor of the Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra (2009-13), and principal guest conductor of Dublin’s RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra (2010-13). Known for exploring neglected orchestral repertoire, as well as for promoting contemporary music, Mr. Lintu has appeared as a guest conductor around the globe. In North America, he has led the orchestras of Baltimore, Cincinnati, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Minnesota, Saint Louis, and Toronto. Engagements in Europe and Asia include appearances with the radio symphony orchestras of Cologne and Leipzig, as well as with the BBC Scottish Symphony, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, Hallé Orchestra, Lahti Symphony, Malaysian Philharmonic, Philharmonia Orchestra, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, and the Warsaw Philharmonic.

called how “one day I mentioned to the composer the impression that always takes hold of me when returning to Finland across the Baltic, the first forebodings of our country being given us by low, reddish granite rocks emerging from the pale blue sea, solitary islands of a hard, archaic beauty, inhabited by hundreds of white sea-gulls. And I concluded by saying that this landscape many centuries ago was the cradle of the Vikings. ‘Yes,’ Sibelius answered eagerly, and his eyes flashed, ‘and when we see those granite rocks we know why we are able to treat the orchestra as we do!” In the spring of 1889, in his last days as a student at the Helsinki Conservatory, Sibelius was named “foremost amongst those who have been entrusted with bearing the banner of Finnish music” by the influential Finnish critic Karl Flodin. Three years later, the first performance, on Apri1 28, 1892, of the twenty-six-year-old composer’s eighty-minute-long symphonic poem Kullervo for soloists, male chorus, and orchestra proved something of a national event. Soon after this came the symphonic poem En Saga, written for Robert Kajanus, conductor of the Helsinki Philharmonic and a champion of Finnish music (and of Sibelius in particular), and, soon after that, came the music of the Karelia Suite, written for an historical pageant at the University of Helsinki. Kullervo drew its inspiration from the so-called “Finnish national epic,” the Kalevala, a conflation of Finnish folktales, lyrics, narrative, and magic charms actually compiled in 1835 after extensive field research by Elias Lönnrot — and then expanded fourteen years later to twice its original length by Lönnrot in collaboration with David Europaeus. The Kalevala served Sibelius on several occasions. One of these was an operatic project, The Building of the Boat, which he eventually abandoned, but which occupied the composer for well over a year. The Finnish Society of Letters had announced an opera competition, the subject to be drawn from Finnish history or mythology, at least two years before Sibelius took up the idea in the summer of 1893. For his story he turned to Section 8 of the Kalevala, in which the hero Väinämöinen works to win the hand of Pohjola’s daughter by attempting several tasks assigned to him. Pohjola is the “North Farm,” an important About the Music

locale in the Kalevala — thus, “Pohjola’s Daughter” is, if you will, the “maiden of North Farm.” Among the challengingly mercurial tasks assigned to the hero: cleaving a swan with an unpointed knife, knotting an egg with invisible knots, pulling birchbark from a stone, breaking poles from a piece of ice, and, finally, building a boat from the splinters of her spindle. In this last attempt, Väinämöinen fails, wounding himself badly with his own ax and departing in distress. Though Sibelius abandoned The Building of the Boat, he returned to this same story a decade later for his “symphonic fantasy,” Pohjola’s Daughter. By the time he finished this orchestral work in 1906, Sibelius had behind him his first two symphonies and the Violin Concerto, and the Third Symphony was in progress. The music of Pohjola’s Daughter is unmistakably Sibelian in the way it forms itself — building slowly, with motifs and then phrases coalescing over long-held fundamental notes, inexorably pressing forward to big climaxes, then instantly changing color and character to begin the process again and at different rates of growth. And all somehow very appropriate to and suggestive of the northern geography and folklore its composer knew so well, and which were so much a part of him. Pohjola’s Daughter is, as its subtitle tells us, a “symphonic fantasy” rather than an actual musical depiction of the legend’s events. The first section of the music builds in tempo, texture, and dynamic level from a spare, evocative cello solo to a loud fortissimo climax for full orchestra; in this we may hear a musical characterization of the hero Väinämöinen. Then comes a virtually instantaneous change of sound and place, as openvoiced strings and harp arpeggios suggest the maiden of North Farm at her spinning wheel. Or, as the Kalevala tells us: Lovely was the maid of Pohja, Famed on land, on water peerless, On the arch of air high-seated, Brightly shining on the rainbow, Clad in robes of dazzling luster, Clad in raiment white and shining; There she wove a golden fabric, Interwoven all with silver, And her shuttle was all golden, And her comb was all of silver.

About the Music

At a Glance Sibelius composed Pohjola’s Daughter in 1906. It was first performed in December that year in St. Petersburg, Russia, under the composer’s direction. Sibelius also conducted the work’s first performance in Finland, at a concert of the Helsinki Orchestra on September 25, 1907, and also led the first American performance on June 4, 1914, at a concert of the Litchfield County Choral Union in Norfolk, Connecticut, while on a visit to this country. This fantasy runs just over 10 minutes in performance. Sibelius scored it for 2 flutes and piccolo, 2 oboes and english horn, 2 clarinets and bass clarinet, 2 bassoons and contrabassoon, 4 horns, 2 cornets, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, harp, and strings. The Cleveland Orchestra first performed this work in November 1937. The only other time it has been programmed was in November 1978, under the direction of Sixten Ehrling.

After this, the materials of these two musical portraits alternate, conflict, and interweave, musical discourse taking precedence over actual storytelling. Near the end, there is an extraordinary piling-up of string sound — as basses are joined in quick succession by cellos, violas divided in two, second then first violins divided in three — all leading to a final statement for brass of the heroic Väinämöinen theme. But after a climax played triple-forte (“very very loud”), the full orchestral texture evaporates to pianissimo strings, fading to an extremely quiet ascent of muted violins and, at the last, a faint, gloomy moan of cellos and basses. —Marc Mandel Marc Mandel serves as director of program publication for the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

PROKOFIEV born April 27, 1891 Sontsovka, Ukraine died March 5, 1953 Moscow

Severance Hall 2014-15

U P O N R E T U R N I N G to his homeland in 1935, Prokofiev decided to write music that was more easily accessible than some of his earlier works. He seemed wholeheartedly to embrace current Soviet aesthetic norms, apparently accepting the notion that music had to be understood by the masses and that if it was, it could help build a better world (implying that he thought it was indeed a better world that the Soviets were building). It would be a mistake to see this resolution only as the acceptance of an official ideology. These changes in Prokofiev’s style had been long in coming, from at least since the time of the First Violin Concerto and the “Classical” Symphony, both written in 1917, shortly before Prokofiev’s departure from Russia. It doesn’t appear that Prokofiev forced himself to go against personal inclinations and use an official idiom he didn’t completely agree with. Musicologist Richard Taruskin has gone so far as to claim that Prokofiev’s “simple style represented the real Prokofiev. It was in these pieces, which he wrote for the sake of audience appeal, and not the ones he wrote for the sake of his reputation with the snobs, that his particular genius resided.” According to Taruskin, Prokofiev returned to the Soviet Union because he realized that “his particular genius” would be better appreciated there than in the West, where he was losing the competition with the more fashionable, more radically modern Stravinsky. Yet for all his desire to be simple and accessible, Prokofiev took pains not to make too great concessions to popular taste. As he wrote in his 1937 article “The Flowering of Art,” “In our country music has come to belong to the masses of people. Their artistic taste, the demands they place upon art, are growing with incredible speed, and the Soviet composer must take this into account in each new work. This is something like shooting at a moving target. Only by aiming at the future, at tomorrow, will you not be left behind at the level of yesterday’s demands. For this reason I consider it a mistake for a composer to strive for simplification. Any attempt to ‘play down’ to the listener represents a subconscious underestimation of his cultural maturity and developing tastes. Such an attempt always has an element of insincerity. And music that is insincere cannot endure.” The works of Prokofiev’s early Soviet period, including the ballet Romeo and Juliet, the film music Alexander Nevsky,

and the Violin Concerto No. 2, show Prokofiev’s efforts to write music of great and immediate mass appeal that at the same time avoids “simplification.” This is entirely consistent with his tendency to combine traditional composition with some unorthodox elements, a tendency found in works starting in his youth. The melodies of the Second Violin Concerto are based on triad-like classical melodies and often have the same periodic structure. Even so, Prokofiev speaks the language of classical music with a strong 20th-century Russian accent, utilizing shifts of key or meter. Such abrupt changes had been a hallmark of Prokofiev’s style since the 1910s. However, by the 1930s they no longer represented mere iconoclasm and a desire to shock the audience (as they had in Prokofiev’s “barbarian” period). Rather, they represent that extra ingredient which keeps the composition from becoming overly “simplified.” The concerto’s first movement is in sonata form, built almost academically. The second movement, marked “Andante assai,” has a simple, long-drawn-out melody played by the solo violin, accompanied by string pizzicatos and delicate counter-themes in the woodwinds. The melody and its accompaniment become more and more excited and go over into a middle section in a faster tempo that, despite the presence of virtuosic passages, remains fundamentally lyrical in tone. The opening theme eventually returns, and the movement ends quietly, with an unusual duet between the principal clarinet and the principal double bass in the last measure. The final movement is a traditional rondo. The main theme’s most striking feature is its rhythm. Some of the variant episodes, on the other hand, are of a primarily melodic nature, while others are characterized by an irregular meter. As in many minor-key works from the classical period, the end of the concerto modulates from G minor to G major. In this case, however, some ambiguities remain, for the B-flats, which are part of the original G-minor scale, refuse to disappear and alternate with the B-naturals that make the tonality major. And the last sonority in the work is neither major nor minor; it contains Bnatural but also — surprisingly — a C-sharp that makes the last chord a dissonant one. Prokofiev had retained something of his enfant terrible past after all. —Peter Laki Copyright © Musical Arts Association Severance Hall 2014-15

About the Music

At a Glance Prokofiev composed his second violin concerto in 1935. The premiere took place in Madrid on December 1, 1935, with Robert Soetens playing the solo part and the Madrid Symphony Orchestra conducted by Enrique Arbós. This concerto runs approximately 25 minutes in performance. Prokofiev scored it for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, percussion (bass drum, snare drum, triangle, cymbals, castanets), and strings, plus the solo violin. The Cleveland Orchestra first played this concerto in January 1946 under the direction of music director Erich Leinsdorf, with Joseph Knitzer as the soloist. It has been programmed somewhat regularly since then, most recently as part of competitions in Cleveland and in Texas. The most recent regular-season concerts were at Severance Hall in October 1996 (with Christoph Eschenbach and violinist Maxim Vengerov) and at Blossom in 2000 (with Jahja Ling conducting and Leonidas Kavakos as soloist).

Severance Hall 2014-15

despite his growing international fame, Tchaikovsky was constantly plagued by self-doubt. Early in 1888, he went on a three-month European tour, conducting his own works with some of the world’s finest orchestras. He was feted in Leipzig, Paris, London, and Prague, and made the acquaintance of Dvořák, Grieg, and Mahler. Tchaikovsky’s private life, however, was not free from turmoil. His sister Alexandra and his niece Vera were both seriously ill, and one of his closest friends, Nikolai Kondratyev, had recently died. It must have been hard to escape the thought that life was a constant struggle against Fate, which appears as a hostile force attempting to thwart all human endeavors. After his return from abroad, Tchaikovsky decided to write a new symphony, his first in ten years. Characteristically, the first sketches of the new work, made on April 15, 1888, include a verbal program portraying an individual’s reactions in the face of immutable destiny, involving stages of resignation, challenge, and triumph: “Introduction. Complete resignation before Fate, or, which is the same, before the inscrutable predestination of Providence. Allegro. (1) Murmurs of doubt, complaints, reproaches against XXX. (2) Shall I throw myself in the embraces of faith??? A wonderful program, if only it can be carried out.” Tchaikovsky never made this program public, however, and in one of his letters even went out of his way to stress that the symphony had no program. Clearly, the program was an intensely personal matter to him, in part because he was reluctant to openly acknowledge his homosexuality, which seemed to him one of the hardest manifestations of the Fate he was grappling with. Many people believe that the un-named, mysterious “XXX” in the sketch stands for homosexuality. In his diaries, Tchaikovsky often referred to his homosexuality as “Z” or “That.” What, if anything, are we to make of all this? Should we listen to Tchaikovsky’s Fifth as a program symphony, about Fate and Destiny? How concerned should we be about thoughts the composer never wanted to divulge, especially those regarding his sexual impulses? It seems clear that the “program” that Tchaikovsky had sketched had a deep influence on his thinking during the time he was writing the Fifth Symphony — without it, the symphony About the Music

would not be what it is. Perhaps most particularly, the opening theme — the “Fate theme” — would probably not return so ominously in all four movements. At the same time, the “program” in itself is insufficient to explain the finished work, in part because the “meaning” of many other themes throughout the symphony is unclear. Moreover, Tchaikovsky had already written a “Fate” symphony — the Fourth — for which a more detailed program survives. And the similarities of the two programs do little to explain the great differences between the two works. (The program of the Fourth is problematic in itself, for no sooner had Tchaikovsky written it down in a letter to his patroness than he declared it to be hopelessly “confused and incomplete. . .”.) As for the question of the privacy of a composer’s feelings and desires, while we shouldn’t be too preoccupied with a composer’s most private thoughts, we probably can’t ignore them completely either — especially because there is ample evidence to suggest that Tchaikovsky in particular was both unable and unwilling to separate his extramusical preoccupations from his composing. (The blending of work and life comprises an infinite variety of mixtures among human beings — and some other composers have kept their music and their lives quite separate.) The four movements of Tchaikovsky’s Fift h Symphony are linked by a common theme, often played by the brass instruments and apparently symbolizing the threatening power of Fate. English musicologist Gerald Abraham noted that this theme was taken almost literally from an aria in Mikhail Glinka’s opera A Life for the Tsar, in which it was sung to the words “Ne svodi na gore” (“Do not turn to sorrow”). The Fate theme is first heard in the Andante introduction of the first movement, soon to be followed by a more lyrical, lilting idea as we move into the faster Allegro con anima tempo. Even with the change of melody, the accompaniment of the Fate motif remains present as a stern reminder. The entire first movement swings back and forth between lyrical and dramatic moments. We would expect it to end with the final fortissimo climax. Instead, the volume gradually decreases to a whisper, and the mysterious last measures are scored for the lowest-pitched instruments in the orchestra — bassoons, cellos, double basses, and timpani. The second movement is lyrical and dream-like, suggesting a brief respite from the struggle. The first horn plays a Severance Hall 2014-15

About the Music

The four movements of Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony are linked by a common melodic thread that seems to symbolize the threatening power of Fate. Even with growing international fame, the composer was never free of self-doubt and uncertainty.

At a Glance Tchaikovsky wrote his Fifth Symphony in 1888, completing it on August 26. He conducted its premiere on November 17, 1888, in St. Petersburg. The first performance in the United States was given on March 5, 1889, by conductor Theodore Thomas in New York City. This symphony runs about 45 minutes in performance. Tchaikovsky scored it for 3 flutes (third doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, and strings. The Cleveland Orchestra first performed Tchaikovsky’s Fifth during its second season in 1919-20, and has performed it frequently since that time. The most recent performances were in 2014 conducted by Giancarlo Guerrero.

beautiful singing melody, eventually joined by the full orchestra. A second idea, in a slightly faster tempo, is introduced by the clarinet. Soon, however, an intense crescendo begins, culminating in the fortissimo entrance of the Fate theme. The movement’s opening theme returns, again interrupted by Fate; only after this second dramatic outburst does the music finally find its long-desired rest. The third movement is a graceful waltz, with a slightly more agitated middle section. Again we expect a respite from the Fate theme and the emotional drama it represents. Yet before the movement is over, there is a short reminder, subdued yet impossible to ignore, in the clarinets and bassoons. In the fourth-movement finale, Tchaikovsky seems to have taken the bull by the horns. The Fate theme dominates the entire movement, despite the presence of a number of contrasting themes. At the end of a grandiose development section, the music comes to a halt on the key signature’s dominant (the fift h degree of the scale, which often serves as the opposite pole to the tonic or home keynote). At some performances over the years, audience members have mistakenly thought that the symphony was over at this point and started applauding. The final resolution, however, is yet to come, in the form of a majestic reappearance of the Fate theme and a short Presto section in which all “doubts, complaints, and reproaches” are cast aside. Against all odds — or is it simply humanity’s optimistic desires? — the symphony receives the triumphant ending we’ve all been listening for. —Peter Laki Copyright © Musical Arts Association

The Cleveland Orchestra

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 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.

gifts during the past year, as of December 20, 2014

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

CLEVELANDORCHESTRA.COM

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

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.

RACHMANINOFF’S SECOND SYMPHONY

AT THE MOVIES:

VERTIGO

Friday February 13 at 8:00 p.m. THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA Brett Mitchell, conductor

The collaboration between director Alfred Hitchcock and composer Bernard Herrmann created a series of unforgettable 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.

Thursday March 19 at 7:30 p.m. Friday March 20 at 11:00 a.m. * <18s Saturday March 21 at 8:00 p.m. Sunday March 22 at 3:00 p.m. <18s THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA Jahja Ling, conductor Daniil Trifonov, piano * Michael Sachs, trumpet*

Following the disastrous reviews of his First Symphony, Rachmaninoff considered giving up composing entirely. But new inspiration and encouragement from friends allowed him to create one of the most Romantic and admired of all his works. Experience the Second Symphony in all its glory, filled with haunting beauty, soaring musical melodies, and the reality of redemption. The program also features Shostakovich’s quirky and fun-filled First Piano Concerto.* * not part of Friday morning concert
