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

THE CLEVEL AND ORCHESTR A A CENTURY OF EXCELLENCE. AN EXTRAORDINARY FUTURE.

January 2018 Welcome to The Cleveland Orchestra’s 38th 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 celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. King through classical, gospel, and spiritual music performed by The Cleveland Orchestra, the assembled community chorus, and guest artists.

For this year’s concert, 50 years since the tragedy of Dr. King’s assassination, we have collaborated with Cleveland’s own ideastream/PBS to present a special, multimedia concert incorporating King’s words and historical images — all combined together with live narration and music. The evening is being recorded for delayed telecast in Northeast Ohio on Friday, January 26, at 9:00 p.m. on WVIZ, and on other Ohio television stations in the weeks ahead.

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 extend our grateful thanks to several partners who make this concert possible. In addition to the City of Cleveland and ideastream, we recognize our generous sponsor, KeyBank, along with special funding from the Paul M. Angell Family Foundation. Thanks to Cleveland radio station WCLV, this concert is being enjoyed by thousands across Northeast Ohio as they listen to the live radio broadcast on stations WCLV (104.9 FM) and WCPN (90.3 FM).

Please join us on Monday, January 15, here at Severance Hall for our annual Martin Luther King Jr. Community Open House. This free community event from 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m. features a variety of free performances and activities. Complete details can be found at clevelandorchestra.com. We thank each of the performers for their participation in this special community day celebrating youth and diversity.

Thank you for joining us here this evening. We cordially invite you to take full advantage of The Cleveland Orchestra’s varied presentations and performances — at Severance Hall, at the Orchestra’s summer Blossom Music Festival, and through our many education and community programs.

January 2018 Dear Friends, It is my great honor to participate in the Cleveland Orchestra’s 38th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Concert. Each year, this concert gives us the opportunity to remember and celebrate the life and accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. King devoted his life to protecting the civil rights of Americans who suffered from discrimination and inequality. He brought people together to ensure that all people have equal access to justice and all are valued respected and heard.

What better way to honor the memory of Dr. King than through music that nourishes our souls and brings people together in harmony.

On behalf of the residents of Cuyahoga County, we thank our renowned Cleveland Orchestra for bringing this very special program to us year after year, reminding us all to be encouraged to live the principles and values embodied by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. My best always,

BEETHOVEN & PROMETHEUS, A HERO'S JOURNEY — this groundbreaking Education

Concert was premiered under Franz Welser-Möst’s baton on September 22, 2017, launching The Cleveland Orchestra’s Centennial Season. Nearly 2,000 students from the Cleveland Metropolitan School District attended this unique collaboration between the Orchestra and Cleveland School of the Arts (whose 500+ students all attended). The concert was built around Beethoven, a titan of classical music, and Prometheus, a Titan of Greek mythology — and inspiring students to use their individual gifts to change the world.

January 2018 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 38 years to honor and remember this great American leader. This evening, our world-renowned Orchestra is led by conductor Franz Welser-Möst and features world-renowned bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green along with the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Chorus led by choral conductor William Henry Caldwell, and with narration by actor and native Clevelander James Pickens Jr. I am also pleased to acknowledge the fifteenth 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

BEETHOVEN THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

CLEVELAND May 1O-19 VIENNA May 24-28 TOKYO June 2-7 conducted by Franz Welser-Möst The Cleveland Orchestra’s Centennial Season ends with a special series of concerts on three continents. Franz Welser-Möst examines Beethoven’s nine symphonies through the story of PROMETHEUS, a titan of Greek mythology who defied Zeus to give fire to humanity — sparking imagination, civilization, learning, and creativity. Similarly, BEETHOVEN, a titan of classical music, pursued his own art and energies in service to Promethean beliefs — in the goodness of humanity, and the ongoing heroic struggle to create a better world, filled with justice and human worth. These Festival concerts are a not-to-be-missed experience to hear Beethoven’s genius in its glory and great goodness.

Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service Awards

The Cleveland Orchestra

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 2018 Community Service Awards The Cleveland Orchestra and the City of Cleveland, in cooperation with the Greater Cleveland Partnership, are pleased to announce the recipients of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service Awards, who are positively impacting Cleveland in the spirit of the teachings and example of Dr. King:

Kevin Conwell — special recognition Titus Hicks — youth KeyBank — organization Award recipients demonstrate one or more of the following qualities: • • • • •

Promotion of social justice Promotion of diversity and inclusion Leadership in community building Advocacy for educational excellence Involvement with music and the arts to promote greater understanding and acceptance

ABOUT THE 2018 AWARD RECIPIENTS Councilman Kevin Conwell has been a member of Cleveland City Council since November 2001, representing Ward 9, which includes the neighborhoods of Glenville and parts of University Circle, including Severance Hall. Councilman Conwell has championed economic development in his ward and is a vocal activist on social service and workforce issues, advocating for needy families, disabled people, the elderly and the unemployed, as well as for fair wages, benefits and strong labor unions to help working people. He chairs the council’s Workforce & Community Benefits Committee and serves on three other council committees — Finance, Transportation, and Health & Human Services.

Mr. Conwell graduated from Glenville High School and earned two busi-

ness degrees from Cuyahoga Community college, a BA from Kent State University and an MBA from Chancellor University. He is also an accomplished musician and strong advocate for music and the arts.

Councilman Conwell is passionate, dedicated, hardworking and deeply committed, not only to his Ward 9 constituents, but to the City of Cleveland. He is a leader in community-building and in forging civic partnerships; this was clearly evident in 2002 when he conceived of and pushed for the creation of the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service Awards to honor community members who positively impact Cleveland in the spirit of the teachings and example of Dr. King.

Past award recipients include Hon. Judge Jean Murrell Capers, Dr. Julian Earls, George L. Forbes, Robert P. Madison, Rev. Dr. Otis Moss Jr., Hon. Carl B. Stokes, Congressman Louis Stokes, Dr. Jerry Sue Thornton, Alpha Kappa Alpha, the Cleveland Cavaliers, Distinguished Gentlemen of Spoken Word, E.F. Boyd Funeral Services, and The President’s Council, to name just a few.

This evening marks the fifteenth anniversary of the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service Awards, a fitting occasion to recognize Councilman Kevin Conwell for his vision in creating the award, which has allowed us to honor so many outstanding individuals, businesses, and young people who are making a real difference in our community, including the Councilman himself.

Titus Hicks grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, the youngest of 8 children.

Throughout his elementary years, he showed a lack of interest in school and acknowledges that his effort and behavior were not very good. He recalls teachers telling him that he would not amount to much. Each of his older siblings eventually dropped out of school, and it was reasonable to think he would do the same.

In the ninth grade, a teacher recognized Titus’s academic and leadership potential and connected him with Baldwin Wallace University’s BW Scholars Program, which recognizes every child’s potential to learn and thrive given appropriate guidance and support. Throughout his high school years as a BW Scholar, he spent summers on the Baldwin Wallace campus taking extra coursework in math, science, and English, and began to give more attention and focus to his academics.

Titus graduated from John Adams High School in June 2011 in the top ten percent of the class and accepted a scholarship to Baldwin Wallace University as part of the BW Scholars program. He earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration in May 2016. He is the first in his family to earn both a high school diploma and a college degree. He credits these achievements as events that altered the course of his life — and the future of his family.

Titus is currently employed at Baldwin Wallace University as Youth Outreach Coordinator for the BW Scholars Program. He is determined to give back and work with young people who may feel as he once did, that education is not a path to future success. For the past two years, he has been a relentless mentor to young

people in Cleveland schools, starting with his own cousins, nieces, and nephews — as well as to all the young men in the BW Scholars Program — and an articulate and poised spokesperson.

This past autumn, Titus was admitted to the MBA program at Baldwin Wallace and is currently pursuing the next chapter in his education. Titus was able to overcome many barriers in his life, and has committed himself to offering a helping hand, lifting other young people up through education, and by example, giving hope to others that they too can realize their potential and success.

KeyBank is headquartered in Cleveland and serves as one of the region’s largest employers, with more than 6,000 staff members. Through its sponsorships, philanthropy, volunteerism, and business, Key is dedicated to helping the Greater Cleveland community thrive.

KeyBank is an esteemed partner with The Cleveland Orchestra and has set the standard for corporate civic engagement in Northeast Ohio. KeyBank’s annual support helps provide exceptional music programs and performances to people throughout the Northeast Ohio region. The investment KeyBank makes in education, workforce development, and affordable housing resonates throughout Greater Cleveland’s urban neighborhoods. As a responsible corporate citizen, KeyBank is part of neighborhoods throughout our community and takes a focused approach toward diversity and inclusion, philanthropy, and volunteerism. In addition, KeyBank uses its resources to improve the quality of life in our community and beyond — through local service projects and board leadership. It is no surprise that KeyBank is recognized as one of the most community-minded companies in the country.

The descriptions above are excerpted and condensed from the nomination letters submitted.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.

Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Franz Welser-Möst Music Director Kelvin Smith Family Endowed Chair The Cleveland Orchestra

Franz Welser-Möst is among today’s most distinguished conductors. The 2017-18 season marks his sixteenth year as music director of The Cleveland Orchestra, with the future of this acclaimed partnership extending into the next decade. The New York Times has declared Cleveland under Welser-Möst’s direction to be the “best American orchestra“ for its virtuosity, elegance of sound, variety of color, and chamber-like musical cohesion.

The Cleveland Orchestra has been repeatedly praised for its innovative programming, support for new musical works, and for its renewed success in semi-staged and staged opera productions. Franz Welser-Möst and The Cleveland Orchestra are frequent guests at many prestigious concert halls and festivals around the world, including regular appearances in Vienna, New York, and Miami, and at the festivals of Salzburg and Lucerne. In the past decade, The Cleveland Orchestra has been hugely successSeverance Hall 2017-18

Music Director

ful in building up a new and, notably, younger audience through groundbreaking programs involving families, students, and universities.

As a guest conductor, Mr. WelserMöst enjoys a close and productive relationship with the Vienna Philharmonic.

His recent performances with the Philharmonic have included critically-acclaimed opera productions at the Salzburg Festival (Strauss’s Der Rosenkavalier in 2014, Beethoven’s Fidelio in 2015, Strauss’s Die Liebe der Danae in 2016, and Reimann’s Lear in 2017), as well as appearances at New York’s Carnegie Hall, at the Lucerne Festival, and in concert at La Scala Milan.

He has conducted the Philharmonic’s celebrated annual New Year’s Day concert twice, viewed by millions worldwide. This past season, he led the Vienna Philharmonic in performances in Vienna and on tour in the United States, featuring three concerts at Carnegie Hall. He returns to the Salzburg Festival in 2018.

Mr. Welser-Möst also maintains relationships with a number of other European orchestras and opera companies.

His 2017-18 schedule includes concerts with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, Zurich’s Tonhalle Orchestra, Orchestre de Paris, Leipzig Gewandhaus, Amsterdam’s Royal Concertgebouw, and Milan’s Filarmonica della Scala, as well as leading a gala with the Shanghai Grand Opera.

From 2010 to 2014, Franz WelserMöst 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 and a series of critically-praised new pro-

27

ductions, as well as performances of a wide range of other operas, particularly works

by Wagner and Richard Strauss. Prior to his years with the Vienna State Opera, Mr. Welser-Möst led the Zurich Opera across a decade-long tenure, conducting 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. The recent Salzburg Festival production he conducted of Der Rosenkavalier was awarded with the Echo Klassik for “best opera recording.“ With The Cleveland Orchestra, his recordings include DVD recordings of live performances of five of Bruckner’s symphonies and a multi-DVD set of major works by Brahms, featuring Yefim Bronfman and Julia Fischer as soloists. A companion video recording of Brahms’s German Requiem was released in 2017.

This past summer, Mr. Welser-Möst was awarded the 2017 Pro Arte Europapreis for his advocacy and achievements as a musical ambassador. Other honors and awards 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 Decoration of Honor from the Republic of Austria for his artistic achievements, and the Kilenyi Medal from the Bruckner Society of America.

ABOVE In December 2015, Franz Welser-Möst

led the prestigious Nobel Prize Concert with the Stockholm Philharmonic.

“Franz Welser-Möst, music director of the subtle, responsive Cleveland Orchestra — possibly America’s most memorable symphonic ensemble — leads operas with airy, catlike grace.”

—New York Times “Franz Welser-Möst has managed something radical with The Cleveland Orchestra — making them play as one seamless unit. . . . The music flickered with a very delicate beauty that makes the Clevelanders sound like no other orchestra.”

—London Times “There were times when the sheer splendor of the orchestra’s playing made you sit upright in awestruck appreciation. . . . The music was a miracle of expressive grandeur, which Welser-Möst paced with weight and fluidity.”

—San Francisco Chronicle

James Pickens Jr.

Ryan Speedo Green

James Pickens Jr. was born in Cleveland, Ohio. While attending college at Bowling Green State University, he began pursuing an interest in acting. He graduated from BGSU with a bachelor of fine arts degree in 1976. Afterwards, Pickens began work on the stage at the Roundabout Theatre in New York City. During this time, he starred in the Negro Ensemble Company’s production of A Soldier’s Play with Denzel Washington and Samuel L. Jackson. He first came to the screen as an ambulance driver in F/X in 1986. That same year, he began appearing on the soap opera Another World. Among a steady line-up of work in the 1990s, he also appeared on the popular romance drama Beverly Hills 90210 and the comedy series Roseanne.

Pickens is perhaps best known to television audiences for his portrayal as Dr. Richard Webber on the medical drama Grey’s Anatomy, launched in 2005. He reprised this same role in the spin-off series Private Practice. Outside of acting, James Pickens spends much of his time around horses and is part of the United States Championship Roping team. He is married to Gina Pickens (née Taylor) and is father to two sons.

American bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green is quickly establishing himself as an artist of international demand and stature, singing with leading opera houses and orchestras on both sides of the Atlantic. The 2016-17 season includes Mr. Green’s return to the Metropolitan Opera as Colline in Puccinin's La Boheme, as well as his house and role debut as Osmin in Mozart’s The Abduction from the Seraglio with Houston Grand Opera. Mr. Green also returns to the Vienna State Opera for his third season as an ensemble member, with roles including Basilio in Rossini’s The Barber of Seville and Timur in Turandot.

A book about Mr. Green’s personal journey — Sing for Your Life, by New York Times journalist Daniel Bergner — was published in 2016, telling Green’s story from a trailer park in southeastern Virginia though time spent in Virginia’s juvenile facility-of-last-resort to the Met stage.

A native of Suffolk, Virginia, Mr. Green received a bachelor of music degree from the Hartt School of Music and a master of music degree from Florida State University, and was a member of the Metropolitan Opera Lindemann Young Artist Development Program.

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.

39

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 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 Cleveland Orchestra 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 CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

Martin Luther King Jr. celebrated in music on January 14 and in afternoon open house on Monday, January 15 On Sunday, January 14, The Cleveland Orchestra performs its 38th annual concert celebrating the spirit of Dr. King’s life, leadership, and service in music and community recognition.

Music Director Franz Welser-Möst 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.

This year’s concert also features actor James Pickens Jr. as narrator and baritone Ryan Speedo Green. This year’s multi-media concert is being produced in partnership with ideastream/PBS, explores Dr. King’s battle for justice and equality, and features excerpts from King’s speeches.

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 were made available this year through a public ticket lottery, with entries for over 10,000 tickets. Winners were then drawn and all tickets distributed through the Severance Hall Ticket Office. 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) — or watch at home by delayed telecast.

The next day, on Monday, January 15, 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 features performances by a variety of Northeast Ohio community performing arts groups.

Cleveland Orchestra joins in national food drive this month For a tenth 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 ORCHESTRAS 2009, this project has involved over 250 orchestras from across the nation, AMERICA 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 takes place 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 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 is being donated to Greater Cleveland Food Bank, which works across six Northeast Ohio counties to provide food and training to more than 800 partner organizations.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

Orchestra wins praise and acclaim on European Tour Below are a selection of excerpts from the overwhelmingly positive reviews from The Cleveland Orchestra’s concerts on tour across Europe in October: “The Cleveland Orchestra’s visit to the Philharmonie de Paris was unquestionably a can’tmiss musical event. . . . Our expectations were fully met as we found the Austrian conductor’s interpretation of Mahler’s Sixth Symphony convincing, both in substance and in form. . . . The orchestra upheld its reputation for excellence. . . . This was a pertinent and intelligent interpretation, a very committed and convincing performance. Bravo!”

ORCHESTRA FRANZ WELSER-MÖST

“Music is the primary focus — with the excellence of The Cleveland Orchestra under Franz Welser-Möst taking any listener’s breath away.

Even while briefly closing your eyes, you will still hear everything (and so much more) of what is happening visually in the opera. This was fully-rounded sound with nuance — an event! Flawless too were performances by Martina Janková as a touching Little Vixen, by Jennifer Johnson Cano as the fox and Alan Held as the Forester, or by Raymond Aceto as Harasta. . . . The cheers at the end were for every aspect of this performance.”

—Vienna Kurier

“This was a brilliant performance. . . . . Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring was . . . impressive; the music was precisely led by Franz Welser-Möst through the angular rhythms and contrasts into a thrilling finale at the end.“ —NDR Kultur (Hamburg) “Welser-Möst unfolds the details of Mahler’s colossal symphonic scenario in forward-pressing tempos. . . . In doing so, he can safely rely on the abilities of the instrumental sections and soloists of his Clevelanders, who flawlessly savor Mahler’s expressive phrasing and colorful scales.

Powerful crescendos are performed with the same perfection as the softly melting hues of the strings. . . . Great applause followed.”

—Kronen Zeitung (Austria) “Franz Welser-Möst conducted Mahler’s Sixth Symphony on the second evening of the performances with his Cleveland Orchestra in the Grosser Saal of the Elbphilharmonie. . . . Mahler, known for his demanding requirements, would probably have approved of what Welser-Möst did with this Mahler symphony. How he merged together dramatic, hard-hitting, and frenetically loving characteristics. How brilliantly and with caring focus on each detail this American orchestra proved itself in excellent form, especially throughout all the solo wind instruments. . . . Where to start the praise, where to end with the amazement? Magnificent, for the urgency with which Welser-Möst kept the manically agitated pulse alive. . . This version was delightfully unsentimental, quite lean and sinewy, with the wallowing fat of pathos exercised away, offering an existential rollercoaster ride. Every single measure called for everyone to give their all, a collective tour de force, an emotional burden that exhausted and animated at the same time.

At the end, there was the hard-earned standing ovation.”

I.N M.E .M.O.R.I. A .M Please join in extending sympathy and condolences to the families and friends of these former Cleveland Orchestra members:

Bernard Adelstein, principal trumpet for twenty-eight seasons (1960-88), died on September 30, 2017, in Sarasota, Florida, where he lived with his wife, Connie. He was 89.

Born in Cleveland, he played trumpet with the Pittsburgh, Dallas, and Minneapolis symphonies prior to returning to his hometown’s orchestra.

His artistry can be heard on many Cleveland Orchestra recordings created under the direction of George Szell, Pierre Boulez, Lorin Maazel, and Christoph von Dohnányi. In addition to his years of service with the Orchestra, he taught as head of the Cleveland Institute of Music’s trumpet department, at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, and, after retiring from Cleveland, at Indiana University.

Lawrence Angell, double bassist for forty seasons (1955-95), including 15 as principal bass (1981-95), died on December 3, 2017, at the age of 88. He is survived by his wife, Anita Pontremoli, and five children.

He was studying with Oscar Zimmerman when called into military service, but returned to finish his studies at the Eastman School of Music.

He headed the double bass departments at the Cleveland Institute of Music (1969-99) and Oberlin Conservatory (1980-90), and also taught as part of Kent/Blossom School and performed as a member of the Cleveland Octet. He participated in nearly 500 recordings. After retirement, his teaching activities included work with festivals in Florida and Nova Scotia.

Special thanks to musicians for supporting the Orchestra’s long-term financial strength The Board of Trustees extends a special acknowledgement to the members of The Cleveland Orchestra for supporting the institution’s programs by jointly volunteering their musical services for several concerts each season. These donated services have long played an important role in supporting the institution’s financial strength, and were expanded with the 2009-10 season to provide added opportunities for new and ongoing revenuegenerating performances by The Cleveland Orchestra.

“We are especially grateful to the members of The Cleveland Orchestra for this ongoing and meaningful investment in the future of the institution,” says André Gremillet, executive director. “These donated services each year make a measureable difference to the Orchestra’s overall financial strength, by ensuring our ability to take advantage of opportunities to maximize performance revenue. They allow us to offer more musical inspiration to audiences around the world than would otherwise be possible, supporting the Orchestra’s vital role in enhancing the lives of everyone across Northeast Ohio.”

2O1 7-18 CENTENNIAL SEASON

cclaimed for decades among the world’s top symphonic ensembles, The Cleveland Orchestra celebrates its 1OOth year during the 2017-18 season.

Such fame and acclaim did not come without a plan. From the very beginning, the private citizens who created this public institution fully intended to foster a great musical ensemble that would carry the exceptional can-do spirit of the city of Cleveland far and wide. Generations have carried through on the hard work required to forge and sustain the Orchestra’s mission to share extraordinary musical experiences, to foster a love of music in students of all ages, and to proudly carry the name of the city it represents.

The Early Decades: Creation, Growth, and the Construction of Severance Hall At the time the ensemble was created, in 1918, Cleveland was a rising industrial metropolis heavily involved in the steel industry and rivalling Detroit in car manufacturing. Rich magnates put the money together for the Orchestra’s early seasons, including John L. Severance, an acquaintance of John D. Rockefeller.

Unusually for the era, a woman, Adella Prentiss Hughes, was the

guiding light behind the efforts to create a hometown band — and she worked tirelessly and with great political finesse to launch it on a trajectory toward being “as good as any orchestra in America.”

Nikolai Sokoloff, the Orchestra’s first music director (1918-33), is often overlooked in light of his better-known suc-

56

cessors. He was, however, certainly good enough to pull the group together and guide them forward for more than a decade. Those years saw the start of many education programs that continue today — the Orchestra has introduced more than 4 million young people to classical music across its first century — as well as extensive touring across the United States and to Cuba, and its first concerts at New York’s famed Carnegie Hall.

Perhaps the biggest push in the early years came from John L. Severance when he donated money toward the ensemble’s permanent home concert hall, named to honor both Severance and his wife when it opened in 1931. Severance Hall was among the very first such buildings designed with radio broadcasting capability in its original schematics and quickly gave the musical ensemble a new sense of permanence, style, and purpose.

Artur Rodzinski came next as music director (1933-43), injecting a new level of energy into the Orchestra’s music making.

A gifted if mercurial leader, who may (or may not) have had a pistol strapped to him onstage when he conducted, Rodzinski had big ambitions and started out strong. For four seasons in the mid-1930s, the Orchestra’s season featured fully-staged opera productions at Severance Hall, with some of the day’s most-renowned stars, including Lotte Lehmann and Friedrich Schorr.

However, the cost of presenting four or five operas each year, in the midst of the Depression, eventually forced their discontinuation. Rodzinski moved forward nevertheless, with recordings alongside new and rediscovered works. Finally, he left CleveThe Cleveland Orchestra

land to pursue his own career in the bigger cities of New York and, later, Chicago.

For Erich Leinsdorf, the next music director (1943-46), timing was everything — and World War II largely precluded him from making much impact in Cleveland.

Many of the ensemble’s musicians were on leave for military duty, and Leinsdorf himself was away part of the time for military service. Evenso, he made some solid recordings, led a variety of radio broadcasts, and re-affirmed his own bona fides for the high-powered international career he enjoyed in the ensuing decades.

The Szell Era: Rise to International Fame George Szell, music director from 1946 until his death in 1970, took a credibly good orchestra and made it great. It’s not that he put The Cleveland Orchestra on the map, for it had been touring around the U.S. for years. It was more that he took the stage and insisted that Cleveland could be — in real fact, would become — as good

as any orchestra anywhere. His legendary standards focused 100 musicians toward a kind of peerless perfection that dazzled many ears. Just as a great restaurant grows its reputation through delivering consistent excellence, Szell was concerned with repeatability. Day in and day out, critics and audiences around the world could more and more count on The Cleveland Orchestra to deliver a great performance, everytime, anywhere. That predictability, coupled with the rise of audiophile home listening equipment (and stereo sound) turned Cleveland into a powerhouse in the recording studio, creating an outstanding catalog across the standard repertoire, many selections from which still hold their own as much as half a century later.

The Orchestra’s ambitions also grew along with Szell’s tenure, touring internationally to amaze Europeans unaccustomed to such constant perfection in live performance. A ten-week tour in 1965 included a month in the Soviet Union, which became legendary among Cleveland’s musicians,

Education has long been a fundamental part of The Cleveland Orchestra’s programs each year, including teaching and coaching future musicians — such as these young students in 1929.

staff, and board members for the Orchestra’s unflagging ability to put on a great performance for wildly enthusiastic audiences — even with circumstances of lessthan-optimal hotels, transportation, and backstage facilities.

Despite his reputation, the steel-eyed taskmaster Szell was not entirely without emotion and understanding of those around him or of humanity as a collective society. Stories abound of small gestures of sympathy and understanding at fateful moments in the lives of longtime Orchestra musicians. And, having escaped in the 1930s from a Europe-turned-afoul, he was well-tuned to world politics and changing times — and to the need for public statements in times of crisis. Following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968, he led the Orchestra in a moving performance of the Funeral March from Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony, making a statement of solidarity and caring with the ongoing struggle for human justice.

Planning and foresight by the Orchestra’s leadership also brought about increased performance opportunities. In 1968, the opening of the Orchestra’s parklike countryside summer home, Blossom Music Center, ensured the musicians of a year-round employment contract, further bonding them with their hometown audiences (who also lined up by the thousands at Blossom for rock-n-roll concerts by the era’s other big-name musical legends).

Forging Ahead: Boulez and Maazel Upon Szell’s death, Pierre Boulez was appointed to an interim position as musical advisor for two seasons (1970-72). Boulez made his professional American debut with Severance Hall 2017-18

the Cleveland ensemble in 1965. His relationship as a friend and influence on the podium in Cleveland eventually extended to nearly half a century. He brought daring programming of new music along with new ideas to clear the accumulated earwax from old ways of listening to classics. His astute musical judgement and his extraordinary laser-like precision on the podium eventually won Cleveland five Grammy Awards. By example and with keen intellect and approach, he effortlessly encouraged the musicians across a widening spectrum of the repertoire.

Lorin Maazel, the next music director (1972-82), stirred things up a bit for The Cleveland Orchestra. His high-energy leadership and fascinating programming, along with a compelling (if at times headstrong) conducting style also dared the musicians to make music in new ways. International touring continued, including the Cleveland’s first trips to South America and to Australia and New Zealand — with the Orchestra’s global reach becoming a true reality beyond its well-deserved reputation.

The ensemble’s recordings also continued, with Maazel leading large swaths of the repertoire and helping the Orchestra pioneer digital recording.

A New Golden Era: Dohnányi and a Restored Severance Hall Christoph von Dohnányi, the sixth music director (1982-2002), brought artistic leadership for a second “Golden Age,” as well as, finally, some critical distinction beyond being “the Orchestra that Szell built.”

Dohnányi focused on both precision and warmth of sound, while presenting intrigu-

ing programming of standard works mixed together with lesser-known repertoire. Touring became an annual part of the Orchestra’s calendar, including regular performances in Salzburg, throughout Europe, and its debut in China.

These years also coincided with the final era of growth in commercial recording. The Cleveland Orchestra laid claim to being the “most-recorded orchestra in America” for nearly a decade, turning out album after album annually to wide acclaim and sales. In addition, Dohnányi revived the Orchestra’s operatic traditions, though mostly with in-concert presentations, and devoted his work to further polish and amalgamate the musicians’ gifted artistry and ensemblework.

One of the greatest long-term

achievements of Dohnányi’s tenure was the renovation and expansion of Severance Hall, which restored what many have called “America’s most beautiful concert hall” to visual interior splendor while simultaneously enhancing its famously clear and intimate acoustics.

The work also restored the hall’s original 6,025-pipe concert organ, making it once again usable (from a new location within the hall) for the first time in half a century.

Accelerando con moto: Welser-Möst and a New Century Franz Welser-Möst became The Cleveland Orchestra’s seventh music director in the autumn of 2002. His charge has been to carry the ensemble forward

— first into the new millennium and now into the Orchestra’s own Second Century.

His playbook has been to build on the best traditions of the past while steering clearly and with passionate directness to argue for music’s renewed relevance in a changing world.

He has expanded repertoire while further honing the Orchestra’s flexibility for modern (and older) music. The Orchestra’s long operatic tradition has been augmented with the return of fully-staged opera productions to Severance Hall, including cutting-edge presentations filled with 21stcentury technological know-how and wonder — all in service to telling the plotlines of challenging works in compelling ways and with superb casts.

Welser-Möst has also led The Cleve-

land Orchestra in a series of acclaimed video and other recordings, further enlarging the ensemble’s storied recorded legacy. He has advocated for a renewed and extended focus aimed at serving the people of Cleveland, through expanded education offerings and a new diversity of programming and concert formats. Special ticketing programs offer free tickets for families to bring children with them to concerts, with a notable increase of younger people attending performances — with 20% of audiences now aged 25 and younger.

In the past decade, the Orchestra has also extended its work as Cleveland’s ambassador to the world, regularly showcasing its extraordinary musicianship in music capitals and festivals and residencies across

Europe and on tour in the United States.

With his contract extended to encompass a tenure of at least two decades, Welser-Möst continues to prepare The Cleveland Orchestra for its Second Century, serving the art of music and the people of its hometown earnestly and with the utmost dedication to harness the power of music to change lives and to inspire creativity and understanding.

Tellingly, throughout the Orchestra’s history, there has been a strong tradition of leadership continuity, not just artistically (with only seven Music Directors in 100 years), but also in Presidents of the governing non-profit Board of Trustees (just twelve), and staff Executive Directors (only nine), providing a steady but focused progression of guidance propelling the Orchestra forward. Contrasted with the shifting sands at some other well-known ensembles, this unity of purpose and personnel has helped carry the Orchestra forward institutionally as a tireless agent for inspiring its hometown through great music.

For, in truth, the Orchestra’s greatest strength remains the citizens of its hometown and the region surrounding Cleve-

land, whose forebears imagined such a world-famous orchestra could exist and then set about to make it happen. Individuals and corporations financed the Orchestra’s growth while insisting on excellence as the goal, not just musically, but in programs for educating and inspiring the city’s youth.

That support continues today at uniquely high levels, boasting the greatest generosity of per capita donations for any major American orchestra.

Thus, the extraordinary dream continues — marching The Cleveland Orchestra into a Second Century of achievement and success, arm in arm with the community whose name it carries.

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.

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.

A SYMPHONY OF

success

We believe that all Cleveland youth should have access to high-quality arts education. Through the generosity of our donors, we have invested nearly $2 million since 2016 to scale up neighborhood-based programs that now serve 1,500 youth year-round in music, dance, theater, photography, literary arts and curatorial mastery. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a symphony of success.
