WELCOME 2015-16 SE A SON

Dear Families,

Welcome to Severance Hall and the 44th season of Cleveland Orchestra Family Concerts! The first Family Concerts were performed in 1970 and were originally called “Key Concerts” because they “opened the door” to classical music for young people and families. Whether you are a first-timer or a return visitor, we know you’ll enjoy these entertaining orchestra concerts in the splendor of historic Severance Hall.

Our season, supported through the generosity of The Giant Eagle Foundation, begins with our annual Halloween Spooktacular on October 25. This year, Severance Hall is inhabited by the talented ghosts and goblins of the Cleveland Institute of Music Orchestra (while The Cleveland Orchestra is on tour in Europe) under the direction of Carl Topilow. Featuring the music of John Williams (composer of Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Superman soundtracks), Paul Dukas (Sorcerer’s Apprentice), and Russell Peck (The Thrill of the Orchestra) it all makes for a delightfully frightful afternoon!

The Family Concert season continues on Friday evening, February 26, 2016, with Gotta Dance! — featuring toe-tapping favorites from the classical repertoire that will make you want to swing your partner and dance around the room! Conductor Brett Mitchell introduces us to the world of orchestral dance music with works by Strauss, Copland, Dvořák, Tchaikovsky, and more — and our friends from Cleveland Ballet join The Cleveland Orchestra for a dazzling afternoon of music and movement. So put on your dancing shoes and get ready for “Gotta Dance!”

The Family Concert season comes to a close on Saturday afternoon, April 16, when The Cleveland Orchestra is joined by conductor-composer-narrator Rob Kapilow, nicknamed “the Pied Piper of classical music,” for Green Eggs and Hamadeus. Proclaimed to be “the most popular music since Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf and Britten’s Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra,” this program is a whiz bang mash-up of Mozart’s music, Dr. Seuss’s classic, and Rob Kapilow’s zany and gleeful brand of edutainment. Buckle your seatbelts for a non-stop afternoon of family fun!

Before each Family Concert, come early for our free pre-concert actitivities. And afterward, stop by the Cleveland Orchestra Store to see the terrific collection of books and CDs, gift items, and logo-wear for kids and adults, and our new Make Music t-shirts!

We are delighted to welcome your family to Severance Hall throughout this season as you create new traditions and enduring family memories. With so many studies documenting the many benefits of music for children, on top of the sheer joy music brings, remember to make music a part of your life every day!

2015-16 SE A SON

AS IT NEARS THE CENTENNIAL OF

its founding in 2018, The Cleveland Orchestra is undergoing a new transformation and renaissance. Under the leadership of Franz Welser-Möst, entering his fourteenth year as the ensemble’s music director with the 2015-16 season, The Cleveland Orchestra is acknowledged among the world’s handful of best orchestras. With Welser-Möst, the ensemble’s musicians, board of directors, staff, volunteers, and hometown are working together on a set of enhanced goals for the 21st century — to continue the Orchestra’s legendary command of musical excellence, to renew its focus on fully serving the communities where it performs through concerts, engagement, and music education, to develop the youngest audience of any orchestra, to build on its tradition of community support and financial strength, and to move

6

forward into the Orchestra’s next century with an unshakeable commitment to innovation and a fearless pursuit of success.

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

Musical Excellence. The Cleveland Orchestra has long been committed to the pursuit of musical excellence in everything that it does. The Orchestra’s ongoing collaboration with Welser-Möst

About the Orchestra

The Cleveland Orchestra

is widely-acknowledged among the best orchestra-conductor partnerships of today.

Performances of standard repertoire and new works are unrivalled at home, 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 experience music as a living language that grows and evolves with each new generation. Recent performances with Baroque specialists, recording projects of varying repertoire and in different locations, 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 being created 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.

Future Audiences. Standing on the shoulders of more than nine decades 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 FamSeverance Hall 2015-16

ily 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 — with 20% of attendees now comprised of concertgoers age 25 and under.

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 popular Friday night concerts (mixing onstage symphonic works with post-concert entertainment), 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 given the Orchestra an unequaled opportunity to explore music as a universal language of communication and understanding.

An Enduring Tradition of Community Support. The Cleveland Orchestra was born in Cleveland, created by a group of visionary citizens who believed in the power of music and aspired to having the best performances of great orchestral music possible anywhere. Generations of Clevelanders have supported this vision and enjoyed the Orchestra’s concerts. Hundreds of thousands have learned to love music through its education programs and celebrated important

events with its music. While strong ticket sales cover just under half of each season’s costs, it is the generosity of thousands each year that drives the Orchestra forward and sustains its extraordinary tradition of excellence onstage, in the classroom, and for the community.

Evolving Greatness. The Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918. 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.

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.

The Cleveland Orchestra

Rob Kapilow Rob Kapilow is the conductor/creative director of FamilyMusik® for the Celebrity Series of Boston and at New York’s Lincoln Center. He has also served as conductor/director of FamilyMusik® for New York’s 92nd Street Y, co-director of the Rutgers SummerFest Festival, assistant conductor of the Opera Company of Boston, music director of the touring company Opera New England, and conductor of the Kansas City Symphony’s summer FamilyFare program.

For over 20 years, Rob Kapilow has brought the joy and wonder of classical music to audiences of all ages and backgrounds. Mr. Kapilow’s work brings music into people’s lives — opening new ears to musical experiences and helping people to listen actively rather than just hear. The reach of his interactive events and activities is wide, both geographically and culturally — from Native American tribal communities in Montana and inner-city high school students in Louisiana to audiences in Kyoto and Kuala Lumpur, and from tots barely out of diapers to musicologists in Ivy League programs. A frequent guest speaker for museums, business groups, foundations, hospitals, law schools, math departments, and conferences, he is constantly finding connections and intersections between music and the rest of the world, making art essential to everyday life.

Rob Kapilow has conducted many of North America’s finest orchestras, including those of Atlanta, Detroit, Philadelphia, St. Louis, St. Paul, Toronto, and

28

Washington D.C. He has also conducted many new works of musical theater, ranging from the Tony Award-winning Nine on Broadway to the premiere of Frida for the opening of the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s “Next Wave Festival” and premieres of works for American Repertory Theater.

Rob Kapilow dedicates his summer months to writing and composing new music, most recently Chrysopylae, a largescale work commissioned by the Marin Symphony to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge. He was the first composer to be granted the rights to set Dr. Seuss’s words to music. A new album featuring Nathan Gunn and Isabel Leonard in two of his popular Family Musik® compositions, Chris van Allsburg’s Polar Express and Dr. Seuss’s Gertrude McFuzz, was released in November 2014.

Rob Kapilow interrupted his academic work at age 19 to study with the legendary Nadia Boulanger. After graduating from Yale, he continued his studies at the Eastman School of Music, and then returned to Yale, where he was assistant professor for six years. He lives in River Vale, New Jersey, with his wife and three children.

At age 15, he begins his service with his father’s employer, the Archbishop of Salzburg.

1778

While he and his mother are in Paris looking for lucrative employment for Wolfgang, Anna Maria is taken ill and dies. Wolfgang must bury her alone, and then tell his father and sister back in Salzburg the news.

1788

Mozart composes what become his last three symphonies (Nos. 39, 40, and 41) in anticipation of a series of benefit concerts that never take place. His finances are increasingly limited and problematic, and he moves around Vienna several times in the next few years to find lodgings he can work in or afford.

1790

CosĂŹ fan tutte is premiered in Vienna.

Mozart attends the coronation of Emperor Leopold II.

1791

Composes the operas The Magic Flute and La clemenza di Tito, and begins work on his Requiem Mass.

LATE SEATING As a courtesy to the audience members and musicians in the hall, late-arriving patrons are asked to wait quietly until the first convenient break in the program, when ushers will help you to your seats. These seating breaks are at the discretion of the House Manager in consultation with the performing artists.

PAGERS, CELL PHONES, AND WRISTWATCH ALARMS All electronic and mechanical devices — including pagers, cellular telephones, and wristwatch alarms — must be turned off while in the concert hall.

PHOTOGRAPHY AND SELFIES, VIDEO AND AUDIO RECORDING

of the world’s most beautiful concert halls, Severance Hall has been home to The Cleveland Orchestra since its opening on February 5, 1931. After that first concert, a Cleveland newspaper editorial stated: “We believe that Mr. Severance intended to build a temple to music, and not a temple to wealth; and we believe it is his intention that all music lovers should be welcome there.” John Long Severance (president of the Musical Arts Association, 19211936) and his wife, Elisabeth, donated the funds necessary to erect this magnificent building. Designed by Walker & Weeks, its elegant Georgian exterior was constructed to harmonize with the classical architecture of other prominent buildings in the University Circle area. The interior of the building reflects a combination of design styles, including Art Deco, Egyptian Revival, Classicism, and Modernism.

An extensive renovation, restoration, and expansion of the facility was completed in January 2000.

Severance Hall

Photographs of the hall and selfies to share with others can be taken when the performance is not in progress. However, audio recording, photography, and videography are prohibited during performances at Severance Hall. And, as courtesy to others, please turn off any phone or device that makes noise or emits light.

IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY Contact an usher or a member of house staff if you require medical assistance. Emergency exits are clearly marked throughout the building.

Ushers and house staff will provide instructions in the event of an emergency.

AGE RESTRICTIONS Regardless of age, each person must have a ticket and be able to sit quietly in a seat throughout the performance. Season subscription concerts are not recommended for children under the age of 8. However, there are several age-appropriate series designed specifically for children and youth, including: Musical Rainbows, (recommended for children 3 to 6 years old), and Family Concerts (for ages 7 and older).

CRYING CHILD? We understand that sometimes young children cannot sit quietly through a one-hour concert and need to get up and move or talk freely. For the listening enjoyment of those around you, we respectfully ask that you and your active child step out of the concert hall to stretch your legs (and baby’s lungs). An usher will gladly help you return to your seat at an appropriate break.
