S E A S O N

Dear Families and Friends, Welcome to Severance Hall and the 45th 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.

Please join us in welcoming new Family Concert Series sponsor, American Greetings, whose generous support helps make these concerts possible. Additional support comes from The Giant Eagle Foundation.

Our season begins with our annual Halloween Spooktacular, this year with a superhero twist! Superman at the Symphony celebrates in music the adventures of the Man of Steel, who was created right here in the Glenville neighborhood of Cleveland, the brainchild of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Superman became the most popular comic superhero of all time.

The Family Concert season continues on March 5 with The Magic Firebird!

Special guests The Enchantment Theatre Company joins The Cleveland Orchestra, led by guest conductor Ruth Reindhardt, to present this classic Russian fairytale set to the original ballet music by Igor Stravinsky — with life-sized puppets, masks, and more.

Don’t miss this magical production!

The Family Concert season comes to a close on April 2, when The Cleveland Orch­ estra, led by Brett Mitchell, is joined by special guests from the Magic Circle Mime Co. in a hilarious retelling of Prokofiev’s beloved tale Peter and the Wolf.

Before each Family Concert, come early for a family-friendly themed lunch at Severance Restaurant. Then enjoy our free pre-concert actitivities throughout Severance Hall.

And afterward, stop by the Cleveland Orchestra Store to choose from a terrific collection of books and CDs, gift items, and logo-wear for kids and adults, and our 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!

AS IT NEARS THE CENTENNIAL OF

its founding in 2018, The Cleveland Orch­estra is undergoing a new transformation and renaissance. Under the leadership of music director Franz Welser-Möst, The Cleveland Orchestra has become one of the most sought-after performing ensembles in the world, setting standards of extraordinary artistic excellence, creative programming, and community engagement. The New York Times has declared it “the best in America” for its virtuosity, elegance of sound, variety of color, and chamber-like musical cohesion. Plans will soon be announced to celebrate the ensemble’s 100th season in 2017-18 as a prelude to a second century of extraordinary music making and worldwide acclaim.

Strong financial and community support from across the ensemble’s

home region is driving the Orchestra forward with renewed energy and focus, increasing the number of young people attending concerts, and bringing fresh attention to the Orchestra’s legendary sound and committed programming — including free community presentations, varied offerings of musical styles and period, and annual opera presentations in innovative stagings and pairings.

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 concert presentations and community partnerships in Miami, 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.

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, 191833; Artur Rodzinski, 1933-43; Erich Leins­ dorf, 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 brought a special pride to the ensemble and its hometown. With acoustic refinements under Szell’s guidance and a building-wide restoration and expansion in

Through the PNC Musical Rainbows series at Severance Hall, Cleveland Orchestra musicians introduce nearly 10,000 preschoolers each year to the instruments of the orchestra.

Severance Hall 2016-17

1998-2000, Severance Hall continues to provide the Orchestra an enviable and intimate acoustic environment in which to perfect the ensemble’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.

About METROPOLIS SYMPHONY

I began composing my Metropolis Symphony in 1988, inspired by the celebrations in Cleveland of the 50th anniversary of Superman’s first appearance in the comics.

When I completed the score in 1993, I dedicated it to the conductor David Zinman, who had encouraged me to compose the work, and to the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. The Metropolis Symphony evokes an American mythology that I discovered as an avid reader of comic books in the 1950s and ‘60s. Each movement of the symphony — which can be performed separately — is a musical response to the myth of Superman. I have used Superman as a compositional metaphor in order to create an independent musical world that appeals to the imagination. The symphony expresses the energies, ambiguities, paradoxes, and wit of American popular culture. Like composer Charles Ives, whose music recalls small-town America early in the 20th century, I draw on my eclectic musical background to reflect on today’s urban America.

—Michael Daugherty Severance Hall 2016-17

SUPERMAN

SUPERMAN CREATED IN CLEVELAND! Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster were just teenagers at Glenville High School back in the 1930s when they created an American icon — Superman! The Man of Steel’s earliest adventures took place right here in Cleveland, and Siegel and Shuster based many of the characters on people they knew. Siegel and Shuster were inspired by their hometown, and even though they would eventually move away, their hearts remained in Cleveland.

Superman has changed greatly over the years, but his message remains the same. He stresses truth, justice, and the American way. The character was meant to give hope for a better world and a more prosperous life, and to promote firm values of right and wrong. Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster are no longer with us, but their creation has become a signature part of America. As Jerry Siegel once wrote, “Do good to others . . . and every one can be a Superman!”

Special thanks . . . to Laura Siegel Larson, daughter of Jerry Siegel, co-creator with Joe Shuster of Superman, and to the Siegel & Shuster Society for historical background and archival materials for today’s concert — and for their unbridled and continuing enthusiasm for the Man of Steel.

THE FIREBIRD

About The Firebird Enchantment Theatre is a fable-based company. Our stories are myths, fables, or authored fairy tales often drawn from older legends. Many are stories of transformation. Enhanced by Stravinsky’s powerful and brilliant score, The Firebird is a tale of physical and spiritual transformation, rich and finely textured.

The journey of the Prince is a voyage of true self-discovery. Through the magic of live performance, actors, musicians and audience create a world of new possibilities for love and friendship.

THE FIREBIRD

Ruth Reinhardt German conductor Ruth Reinhardt became assistant conductor of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra with the 2016-17 season. She previously served as conducting assistant with the Seattle Symphony for 2015-16 and as an associate conducting fellow with the Taki Concordia program under Marin Alsop. She was also conductor of the New York-based EON Ensemble. She is making her Cleveland Orchestra debut this week.

Born in Saarbrücken, Germany, Ruth Reinhardt began her formal musical education at the age of six studying the violin and completed her studies at the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste (ZHdK) with Rudolf Koelman. She began conducting in 2004, taking private lessons with Constantin Trinks, music director of Staatstheater Darmstadt, and from 2008 studying at the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste with Johannes Schlaefli and later in Leipzig with Ulrich Windfuhr. She holds a master of music degree in conducting from the Juilliard School, where she studied with Alan Gilbert. She has participated in masterclasses with Bernard Haitink, David Zinman, Paavo and Neeme Järvi, Marin Alsop and James Ross.

Reinhardt has worked as Chief Conductor of the Lincoln Center Chamber Orchestra and additionally worked with the Juilliard Orchestra and gave concerts with the Juilliard Lab Orchestra in Alice Tully Hall. Recent engagements include working with the Staatskapelle

22

Halle at the ImpulsFestival, where her performance of Guillaume Connesson’s Lucifer was broadcast on national German radio.

As a child, Ms. Reinhardt was a member of the Children’s Chorus of Saarländ­isches Staatstheater, and opera lies at the core of her musical education.

Her operatic performances include Die Fledermaus at the Leipzig University of the Arts and Dvořák’s Rusalka and Weber’s Der Freischütz with the North Czech Opera Company.

From the beginning of her career, connecting classical music with young people has been an integral part of Ruth Reinhardt’s work as a conductor. She worked as Teaching Fellow for the Music Advancement Program at Juilliard, teaching chamber music and serving as assistant conductor to the MAP Orchestra. At the age of 17, she composed and conducted a children’s opera in her hometown, performed by children and youth of the community and surrounding areas. During her studies in Zürich, she conducted the premieres of two children’s operas.

Overture to Die Fledermaus [“The Bat”]

by JOHANN STRAUSS JR. Peter and the Wolf

by SERGEI PROKOFIEV Peter and the Wolf is a musical story about a young boy and his encounter with a big, bad wolf, written by composer Sergei Prokofiev in 1936. Prokofiev constructed the music as a child’s introduction to the orchestra, with each character in the story represented by a different instrument or group of instruments playing a distinct musical theme: Peter is represented by the strings the bird by the flute the duck by the oboe the cat by the clarinet the wolf by the horn section the grandfather by the bassoon and the hunters by the timpani

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.
