All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence. —Martin Luther King Jr.

January 2017 Welcome to The Cleveland Orchestra’s 37th annual concert in celebration of the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We are pleased to once again collaborate with the City of Cleveland to present this event that celebrates the life and legacy of Dr. King through classical, gospel, and spiritual music performed by The Cleveland Orchestra.

We extend a warm welcome to this evening’s artists and performers — conductor Thomas Wilkins, the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Chorus, prepared by William Henry Caldwell, and 2016 Sphinx Competition prize-winning cellist Thomas Mesa.

At the start of the concert, The Cleveland Orchestra in cooperation with the City of Cleveland and the Greater Cleveland Partnership present this year’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service Awards. These awards are detailed on the following pages and recognize community service and leadership by organizations and individuals making a difference here in Northeast Ohio.

We are grateful to several partners who make this concert possible. In addition to the City of Cleveland, we recognize our generous sponsor, KeyBank, a Cleveland Orchestra Partner in Excellence. Thanks to Cleveland radio station WCLV, this concert is being enjoyed by thousands across Northeast Ohio as they listen to the live broadcast on radio stations WCLV (104.9 FM) and WCPN (90.3 FM). We also acknowledge the members of the Orchestra’s Community Relations Committee for their thoughtful guidance and contributions toward the ongoing work of the institution.

JOHN R. K ASICH GOVERNOR S TAT E O F O H I O

January 15, 2017 Greetings, My wife Karen and I welcome you to The Cleveland Orchestra’s 37th Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Concert at Severance Hall.

The Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. was a man of unwavering devotion to his faith in God, 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.” Dr. King taught us that it is far better to love than hate and to seek justice rather than revenge.

We applaud The Cleveland Orchestra’s efforts to commemorate his legacy through music and we are grateful to all those who have been involved with this celebration for your support of this incredible annual event.

We hope this concert is another memorable tribute to a great man with an even greater mission, and we extend our best wishes for an enjoyable evening.

Sincerely,

John R. Kasich Governor

January 2017 Dear Friends, It is an honor to be a part of The Cleveland Orchestra’s 37th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Concert.

Cuyahoga County is home to our world-famous Cleveland Orchestra. Arts and culture are key to our quality of life in the region. Cuyahoga County is a place bursting at the seams with arts, music, sports, great food, festivals, waterfront recreation, unique neighborhoods, distinctive places — all converging in one vibrant, dynamic, diverse community.

As County Executive, I am committed to making sure that Cuyahoga County is a place where we take care of each other — we protect each other when we are at our most vulnerable, we provide each other a hand up when we most need it, and we promote equal access to justice for all of us.

We must continue to make progress towards Dr. King’s dream of a nation where we are judged not by the color of our skin but by the content of our character. There is still much work to be done and we must work together.

When we stand together, we don’t let anyone fall by the wayside, especially those in need. When we see that we are one community there is nothing we cannot achieve. Every single person, business, organization, and young mind represents an opportunity to add to our strength.

I look forward to working to fulfill the dreams and aspirations embodied by the late Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and to create a county where everyone can achieve their own dreams.

My best always,

Armond Budish Cuyahoga County Executive

January 2017 Dear Fellow Citizens: I am pleased and proud to welcome you to Severance Hall for The Cleveland Orchestra’s annual musical tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The Cleveland Orchestra has brought Clevelanders together in a salute to Dr. King for the last 36 years to honor and remember this great American leader. This evening, our world-renowned Orchestra is led by conductor Thomas Wilkins as we join with the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Chorus led by choral conductor William Henry Caldwell, and cellist Thomas Mesa, the senior division winner of the national Sphinx Competition for Black and Latino string players.

I am also pleased to acknowledge the fourteenth 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. King’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 May Ma yor Frank Fran ankk G. an G Jackson Jackson

its Centennial Season in 2017-18, The Cleveland Orchestra continues refining its mission, praised as one of the very best orchestras in the world and noted for its devotion and service to the community it calls home. The 2016-17 season marks the ensemble’s fifteenth year under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst, one of the world’s most renowned musical leaders. Looking toward the future, the Orchestra and its board of trustees, 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 fully focus on serving its hometown community (through outstanding concerts, vibrant musical engagement, and strong music education programs), to develop the youngest audience of any orchestra, to build on its tradition of community support and financial strength, and to move 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 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 CenAS IT APPROACHES

ter 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 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. 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 touring cities 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” neigh-

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 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 and to develop the youngest audience of any orchestra. 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 Severance Hall 2016-17

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 performances as some of the best such concert experiences anywhere in the world. Hundreds of thousands have learned to love music

through its education programs and have 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.

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 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.

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.

Honoring the Past, Inspiring the Future The Cleveland Orchestra is proud to present today’s performance as one of the first events of Stokes: Honoring the Past, Inspiring the Future, a yearlong, communitywide commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Carl Stokes’s election as mayor of Cleveland. Mayor Stokes and his brother, Congressman Louis Stokes, played key roles in the advancement of the city and the nation through the civil rights movement and beyond.

This initiative seeks to ensure that the social and economic development they promoted continues throughout Greater Cleveland, and especially in its core communities. More than 60 community organizations have come together to empower young leaders to carry the Stokes vision forward and guide every neighborhood to a vibrant and prosperous future.

The initiative’s goals include: Celebrating the historical accomplishments of Carl and Louis Stokes, and reflecting on their impact on political access and civil rights in Cleveland and beyond.

Considering current challenges related to social justice and equality and identifying strategies to resolve them through purposeful research, productive discussion, and strategic planning.

Inspiring a new generation to continue the legacy of leadership, advocacy, and activism through student-driven research and involvement, creating a roadmap for the civic engagement of Cleveland now and in the years to come.

Creating lasting tributes, including oral histories and exhibitions, as a reminder of the past and a commitment to a better future.

From education, arts and culture, business, policy, and social services, the initiative’s partners know the significance of the Stokes story and are prepared to reflect on the city’s future. Twelve months of celebration, focused dialogue, and deliberate effort will engage a wide spectrum of issues, with events including music and theatre, a youth summit, an academic conference, panel discussions and speakers, policy and leadership development, and a new permanent exhibit at Western Reserve Historical Society/Cleveland History Center.

ABOUT THE 2017 AWARD RECIPIENTS Carl B. Stokes was born in 1917 and grew up in inner-city Cleveland in the Outhwaite Homes, Cleveland’s first federally-funded housing project. He and his older brother, Louis, were raised by their mother after their father’s untimely death when Carl was just three years old. Carl joined the U.S. Army at age 18. He attended West Virginia State College and Cleveland College before completing his bachelor’s degree from the University of Minnesota in 1954. Like his brother, Carl continued his education at the Cleveland Law School (now Cleveland-Marshall College of Law), where he completed his degree in 1956. Under the guidance of John Carmack, a successful Black real-estate broker, and Norman Minor, one of the most revered criminal attorneys in the state, the Stokes brothers established a successful law practice in Cleveland, taking on many civil rights cases. Carl was serving as a prosecuting attorney for Cuyahoga County from 1957-1962, when he was elected as a representative to the Ohio House of Representatives. His work focused on balancing out the repreSeverance Hall 2016-17

sentation of the Congressional and General Assembly districts.

Carl Stokes first ran for mayor of Cleveland in 1965, but was defeated. He ran again in 1967 and won, and was re-elected in 1969 for a second term. He was the first Black mayor of a major U.S. city. During his time as mayor, Carl Stokes tackled issues brought about by deindustrialization, inequality, and lack of economic opportunity for African Americans. He directly addressed discrimination in policing and minority employment. With the “Cleveland NOW!” plan, announced in 1968, he assembled a broad coalition of government and business figures to raise significant private, state, and federal funds to launch a comprehensive revitalization plan for the city. The plan called for community centers, health care centers, new housing units, improved public transportation, and an economic development plan. While these initiatives did not meet all of the intended broad goals, the set of ambitious objectives continue to serve as a model for a comprehensive approach to the challenges of our core community.

In his hometown, throughout the United States, and in places far beyond, Carl Stokes’s ability to forge a multi-racial coalition inspired a whole generation of African Americans to run for mayor and for other elected offices. His legacy as a forward-thinking, caring government servant and as an advocate for people across his constituencies remains a role model for new generations of citizens and aspiring public officials alike.

George L. Forbes’s entire professional career has been characterized by a deep commitment to country and community. His political accomplishments and expertise in public law and municipal government operations became well-known and wide-ranging. He was born in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1931. He served as a member of the United States Marine Corps, 1951-53, and then attended Baldwin Wallace College (now University), where he earned a bachelor of arts degree in 1957. He subsequently completed studies at Cleveland-Marshall Law School to earn a juris doctorate degree. While completing his education, he taught social studies in the Cleveland Public School System. In 1959, he became a housing inspector for the City of Cleveland. In 1971, he co-founded Cleveland’s impactful Black-owned law firm, now called Forbes, Fields & Associates Co., LPA. George was elected to Cleveland City Council in 1964. He became Majority Leader in 1972. He also served as co-chairman of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party, 1972-78. He was elected City Council President in 1973, and was re-elected six times before stepping down in 1989 as the longest-serving President in the City’s history. As City Council President, he helped manage and solve a host of complicated issues for the City of Cleveland, including the City’s default on debt obligations to local banks, and the regionalization of the Cleveland transit authority. He sponsored Cleveland’s first gun control ordinance. In 1983, as City Council President, he passed one of the nation’s most comprehensive laws requiring the City to set aside fixed percentages of 30% of its awarded contracts to minorities. In 1978, 1981, and 1985, he won Council approval for three politically dangerous tax increases, which lifted the

City out of default and restored financial integrity. George Forbes played a pivotal role in developments, which changed Cleveland’s skyline, both downtown and in the neighborhoods — including new housing citywide, and new recreational facilities, destination, and commercial development including Inner Harbor, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Galleria, East Side Market, and Tower City complex.

George Forbes also used his political prominence to address the wide spectrum of issues concerning the Black community. To register contempt for Apartheid, he prohibited South African companies from investing in Cleveland municipal bonds. In 1987, he led a delegation of 55 civic leaders to Washington D.C. to protest Judge Bork’s appointment to the Supreme Court because of his deplorable civil rights record. That same year, he established an annual program honoring the Martin Luther King holiday, which gave rise to The Cleveland Orchestra’s annual MLK Jr. Celebration Concert. In 1992, George was elected as NAACP President for the Cleveland Chapter, serving until 2011.

Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. was founded by African American Undergraduate women in 1908 on the campus of Howard University in Washington D.C. The first graduate chapter, Alpha Omega Chapter, was established on the campus of Western Reserve University (now Case Western Reserve University) in 1917 in Cleveland, Ohio. With a commitment to community service, scholarship, and sisterhood, Alpha Omega Chapter works to protest injustice, end discrimination, and promote equal opportunity for African Americans. Cleveland is home to thousands of Alpha Kappa Alpha women who actively work on the Sorority’s behalf. Among them are leaders in education, medicine, law, business, and non-profit organizations. Chapter projects include Salute to Excellence recognizing academic success in 10th graders, as well as leadership and mentoring programs Project ASCEND (students in grades 9-12) and Bachelor Boys (middle school boys). Alpha Omega Foundation has awarded more than $20,000 in scholarships to graduating high school seniors.

Chelsea Hodge is a senior at Beachwood High School, where she has served as the vice president of the Pre-Law Club of BHS and vice president of the Minority Achievement Coalition (MAC) Scholars, a student-led program aimed at improving the academic achievement of African American students. Chelsea was selected as a Stanford Law Scholar and received a Presidential Excellence Award for her outstanding academic and leadership skills. Chelsea volunteers at Fairfax Nursing Home and as a Vacation Bible School leader at Second Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church, and is currently the NAACP Youth Group (Cleveland Branch) Secretary, where she promotes and encourages activism and civic engagement. Most recently she served as the Mock Presidential Election President to highlight the political process and educate students on the election process and the importance of voting. Chelsea plans to attend Stanford University and hopes to become a criminal defense attorney.

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

by Carol Jacobs T H E C L E V E L A N D O R C H E S T R A 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.

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, many Martin Luther King Jr.

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 nonsegregated 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.

King’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.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

Martin Luther King Jr. celebrated in music on January 15 and in afternoon open house on Monday, January 16 On Sunday, January 15, The Cleveland Orchestra performs its 37th annual concert celebrating the spirit of Dr. King’s life, leadership, and service in music and community recognition.

Guest conductor Thomas Wilkins leads the performance, which features selections with the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Chorus, a group of volunteer singers from across Northeast Ohio assembled and prepared each year by William Henry Caldwell. Also featured on the concert is cellist Thomas Mesa, a winner of the 2016 Sphinx Competition for aspiring Black and Latino string players.

Mr. Mesa will perform a movement from Antonín Dvořák’s Cello Concerto.

The concert begins with the presentation of the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service Awards, given jointly by The Cleveland Orchestra and the City of Cleveland in cooperation with the Greater Cleveland Partnership to individuals who are positively impacting Cleveland in the spirit of the teachings and example of Dr. King.

Free tickets for the concert became available on January 3 and were all distributed through the Severance Hall Ticket Office and the Orchestra’s website by the end of that day.

Those without tickets can experience the concert’s music and celebration by live radio broadcast over radio stations WCLV (104.9 FM) and WCPN (90.3 FM).

The next day, on Monday, January 16, Severance Hall holds its sixteenth annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Community Open House from 12 noon to 5 p.m. This day of free activities and performances celebrates the legacy of Dr. King and features performances by a variety of Northeast Ohio community performing arts groups, including the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra and Youth Chorus.

Cleveland Orchestra joins in national food drive this month For a ninth year, The Cleveland Orchestra is holding a food drive at the start of the calendar year, with goods donated locally. The event is part of Orchestras Feeding America, a national food drive held by America’s symphony orchestras. First started in 2009, this project has involved over 250 orchestras from across the nation, who have together collected over 500,000 pounds of food for their communities. The project is the single largest orchestra project organized at a national level, uniting musicians, audiences, staff, and volunteers to help alleviate hunger.

This year’s drive in Cleveland is being undertaken surrounding the Orchestra’s concerts at Severance Hall in January — including the Martin Luther King weekend, with collection of non-perishable food items at concerts and performances January 5-7 and 12-16 at Severance Hall. Unexpired food donations are being collected Thursday through Saturday evenings, and at Monday afternoon’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day Community Open House.

Food collected this year by The Cleveland Orchestra will be donated to Inner City Baptist Church Food Center, which is part of the Hunger Network of Cleveland. The center acts as an “emergency” food pantry serving the Hough neighborhood, site of The Cleveland Orchestra’s “At Home” Neighborhood Residency in 2016.

2017

Food collection times at Severance Hall: Thursday, January 5, 6:30-8:00 pm Friday, January 6, 6:00-7:30 pm Saturday, January 7, 7:00-8:30 pm Thursday, January 12, 6:30-8:00 pm Saturday, January 14, 7:00-8:30 pm Sunday, January 15, 6:00-7:30 pm Monday, January 16, 11:30 am-5:30 pm

orchestra news Franz Welser-Möst leads discussion about Bach’s Saint John Passion at Temple–Tifereth Israel on Sunday afternoon, March 5 The weekend prior to The Cleveland Orchestra’s performances of Bach’s Saint John Passion on March 9-12, Franz Welser-Möst will discuss the work with a panel of guest speakers on Sunday afternoon, March 5, beginning at 3 p.m.

The event at The Temple–Tifereth Israel in Beachwood is free and open to the public, but registration is required by visiting www.maltzmuseum.com.

One focus of the afternoon’s discussion will be to address a question that has dogged the Passion almost since its premiere in 1724, whether the work was intended to be anti-Semitic — and how any lingering aspects of that legacy should be approached in modern performances.

The Saint John Passion is an extraordinarily beautiful, poetic, and forceful telling of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The panel will explore the context of European history, music, and religion that influenced the creation of Bach’s masterpiece and the intersections of meaning, message, and intent.

The afternoon’s panelists include: Michael Marissen of Swarthmore College (author of the newlyreleased book Bach and God) and Rabbi Roger C. Klein (The Temple–Tifereth Israel), along with moderator David J. Rothenberg (Case Western Reserve University). The event is part of an ongoing partnership between The Cleveland Orchestra with the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage and Case Western Reserve University.

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.

SHARING MUSIC WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS . . .

“My parents loved The Cleveland Orchestra from the earliest days of their marriage — and introduced me to music’s great power, its gripping depths and joyful highs.”

Ben and Martha Lavin married shortly after World War II. As a young couple, they became Cleveland Orchestra subscribers, making it a routine part of their week — and sharing Saturday nights and the Orchestra with their best friends.

Their son, Arthur, began attending with his parents as a teenager, hearing the Orchestra at both Severance Hall and Blossom Music Center. Those early experiences, listening as a young man to great performances by George Szell, left an indelible impression: “In college, I dove deeply into listening — not studying music, for, although I tried, I was too clumsy to master an instrument. But I found my ears were tuned to music, and I have been plumbing its depths ever since!”

“Above all, it is the nearly infinite power of great music to transform the mind and soul that is what I most appreciate, and the gift I so enjoy sharing with others.”

Celebrate the power of music, and help build The CleveTHE land Orchestra’s future with your friends and community, by CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA supporting the Annual Fund. Call Elizabeth Arnett, Director of Leadership and Individual Giving, at 216-231-7522 today.

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

74

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.
