THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA WELCOME

Dear Families and Friends,

Welcome to Severance Hall for the 49th season of The Cleveland Orchestra’s Family Concerts, which have been delighting families and inspiring young people for nearly half a century! The first Family Concerts were performed in November 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.

The season begins with our annual Halloween Spooktacular, featuring The Cleveland Orchestra led by guest conductor Ruth Reinhardt, and hosted by Eric Charnofsky. Musical tricks and treats abound with witchy works including Mussorgsky’s “Baba Yaga” from Pictures at an Exhibition and Liadov’s Kikimora, plus a touch of magical mayhem with the beloved Sorcerer’s Apprentice by Dukas. All in all, it’s a spooktacular season opener!

The Family Concert season continues on a special night, Friday evening, February 8 with The Mozart Experience! The hilarious Magic Circle Mime Co. joins The Cleveland Orchestra to present a musical madcap adventure that features excerpts of many of Mozart’s most famous works, including Eine kleine Nachtmusik, “Twinkle Twinkle” Variations, The Magic Flute Overture, and more! We’re pleased to share Mozart’s magnificent music with your family, conducted by Vinay Parameswaran.

The Family Concert season comes to a close on Sunday afternoon, May 12, when world-renowned pianists and sisters Katia and Marielle Labèque join The Cleveland Orchestra for Saint-Seans’s beloved classic, Carnival of the Animals. This grand zoological exploration is a whimsical and charming piece for orchestra and narrator, while animalthemed works by Haydn, Anderson, and Stravinsky round out this wild and wooly concert.

Before each Family Concert, come early to enjoy our free pre-concert activities throughout Severance Hall — giving opportunities for hands-on exploration, musical inspiration, and entertainment.

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!

We are delighted to welcome your family to historic Severance Hall — a place for creating new musical traditions and enduring family memories throughout the season.

I think one of the great things about being a musician is that you never stop learning.

—Yo-Yo Ma, cellist

Music does a lot of things for a lot of people. It’s transporting, for sure.

It can take you right back, years back, to the very moment certain things happened in your life. It’s uplifting, it’s encouraging, it’s strengthening.

—Aretha Franklin, singer

OKAY Words make you think a thought.

Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought.

—Yip Harburg, lyricist

Music is one of the most powerful things the world has to offer. No matter what race or religion or nationality or sexual orientation or gender that you are, it has the power to unite us.

—Lady Gaga, singer

The Cleveland Orchestra

THE

CLEVELAND ORC HE STR A 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 musical 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. The 2018-19 season marked the Orchestra’s 1OOth year of concerts, with 2018 as its 1OOth birthday as it begins a Second Century of extraordinary musicmaking dedicated service to its hometown.

Strong 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 annual opera presentations in innovative stagings and pairings. Recent acclaimed productions have included Debussy’s Pelléas and Mélisande (May 2017), a doublebill of Bartók’s Miraculous Mandarin and Bluebeard’s Castle (April 2016) presented in collaboration with Chicago’s Joffrey Ballet, and an innovative presentation of Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen (May 2014, with encore performances in Cleveland and Europe during the autumn of 2017). The 2018-19 season features a brand-new made-forCleveland production of Richard Strauss’s opera Ariadne auf Naxos.

UNDER THE LEADERSHIP

Severance Hall 2018-19

The partnership with Franz WelserMöst, begun in 2002 and entering its 16th year with the 2017-18 season, has earned The Cleveland Orchestra unprecedented residencies in the United States and around the world, including one at the Musikverein in Vienna, the first of its kind by an American orchestra. It also performs regularly at the Salzburg and Lucerne Festivals. The Orchestra’s 1OOth season featured two international tours, concluding with the presentation on three continents of Beethoven’s nine symphonies, with performances in Cleveland, Vienna, and Tokyo. Spring 2019 sees the Orchestra returning to Asia with concerts in Taipei, Macao, Shanghai, Wuhan, Beijing, and other major cities.

The Cleveland Orchestra has a long and distinguished recording and broadcast history. A series of DVD and CD recordings under the direction of Mr. Welser-Möst continues to add to an extensive and widely praised catalog of audio recordings made during the tenures of the ensemble’s earlier music directors. In addition, Cleveland Orchestra concerts are heard in syndication each season on radio stations throughout North America and Europe.

Seven music directors — Nikolai Sokoloff, Artur Rodzinski, Erich Leinsdorf, George Szell, Lorin Maazel, Christoph von Dohnányi, and Franz Welser-Möst — have guided and shaped the ensemble’s growth and sound since its founding. Through concerts at home and on tour, via radio broadcasts and a catalog of acclaimed recordings, The Cleveland Orchestra is heard today by a broad and growing group of fans around the world.

At the heart of Suzuki Studies at CIM is the strong conviction that “every child has unlimited potential.” This method, developed by Shinichi Suzuki in the 1940s, was inspired by how children learn language — through communication skills shared between parent and child. Dr. Suzuki’s goal, in focusing this same process on learning music, was to help grow every child’s character through studying music.

Ruth Reinhardt German conductor Ruth Reinhardt recently concluded two seasons as assistant conductor of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, and was selected as a Dudemel Fellow with the Los Angeles Philharmonic last season. This past summer, she served as assistant conductor of the Lucerne Festival Academy Orchestra in Switzerland. She made her Cleveland Orchestra debut in 2017.

Recent seasons have featured Ms. Reinhardt’s debuts with a wide variety of ensembles on both sides of the Atlantic — and continues throughout the 2018-19 season with guest conducting appearances with the orchestras of Fort Worth, Omaha, Orlando, Portland, Santa Fe, and Sarasota. She also returns to Dallas and Seattle, as well as leading performances with the Mälmo Symphony and at the Impuls Festival in Germany 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, and has participated in mas-

The Cleveland Orchestra

terclasses with Michael Tilson Thomas, Bernard Haitink, David Zinman, Neeme Järvi, Marin Alsop, and James Ross.

Prior to her appointment in Dallas, Ruth was a conducting fellow at the Seattle Symphony (2015-16), Boston Symphony Orchestra’s Tanglewood Music Center (2015), and an associate conducting fellow of the Taki Concordia program (2015-17). During her time at Juilliard, she led the Juilliard Orchestra as well as concerts with New York City’s ÆON Ensemble, with whom she has led a collaboration with the Kronos Quartet.

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.

While studying in Zurich, she conducted the premieres of two chamber operas for children: Die Kleine Meerjungfrau [The Little Mermaid] by Swiss composer Michal Muggli, and Wassilissa by German composer Dennis Bäsecke. Her operatic performances also 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.

THE MOZART EXPE RIE NCE

Magic Circle Mime Co. Magic Circle Mime Co. is regarded as one of today’s premier family attractions. Their acclaimed performances, which unite the concert orchestra with visual theater, are consistently praised for imaginative and innovative content.

Magic Circle Mime Co. performs with virtually every major orchestra in North America and has performed on many occasions with the symphony orchestras of Atlanta, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Minnesota, Montreal, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Seattle, Toronto, and Washington D.C. Magic Circle Mime Co. also has a growing reputation outside North America. In the Pacific Rim and Asia, they have performed at festivals and with major orchestras in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Taiwan. Appearances include the Beijing Music Festival, Shanghai International Children’s Festival, Taiwan International Children’s Festival, Hong Kong Philharmonic (six times), Tokyo Philharmonic, Taipei Symphony Orchestra, West Australia Symphony Orchestra, and the Singapore Symphony Orchestra. They made their European debut at the Palau de la Música de Valencia in April of 2007.

They are making their Danish debut in 2018.

Magic Circle Mime Co. is the creative partnership of Maggie Petersen and Douglas MacIntyre. Both artists have backgrounds in theater and instrumental music, and have utilized that training to create their highly regarded programs.

THE MOZART EXPERIENCE Program/Synopsis A mischievous street musician is caught playing the orchestra’s grand piano.

Much to her surprise, the conductor does not scold her, but instead offers her the chance to “be Mozart” for this program about one of the most famous composers of all time. The street musician and her prankster companion must now confront dilemmas and opportunities similar to those faced by Mozart. In doing so, the audience experiences Mozart’s life as a very human story — as well as a great musical adventure.

A portrait of Wolfgang Amadè Mozart, painted in 1819 by Barbara Kraft, based on paintings created during the composer’s lifetime

I cannot write in verse, for I am no poet.

I cannot arrange the parts of speech with such art as to produce effects of light and shade, for I am no painter. Even by signs and gestures I cannot express my thoughts and feelings, for I am no dancer. But I can do so by means of sound, for I am a musician.

—W. A. Mozart, November 1777

Orpheus Charming the Animals (with music), a 17th-century painting

by Jacob Hoefnagel

French compser Camille Saint-Saëns wrote The Carnival of the Animals as a private work in 1886. He had just completed a concert tour (as a pianist), in which his playing had been unkindly received. In Carnival, he humorously comments through the music on types of people (labeled as different kinds of animals). The composer allowed for a number of private performances during his lifetime, but withheld publication until after his death in 1921. Once released, it quickly became an international hit — loved and enjoyed by people (and animals?) of all ages, sizes, and happy (or grumpy) dispositions. Several narrations have been written for it, including a famous poetic rendition by Ogden Nash — with most performances now featuring a narrator to help remind us who (or what) each animal (or person) described may be about. The work is divided into fourteen movements: 1.

C A R N I VA L O F T H E A N I M A L S

Katia Labèque and Marielle Labèque French piano duo Katia and Marielle Labèque are siblings who have been performing together for more than thirty-five years. Renowned for their synchronicity and energy, they made their Cleveland Orchestra debut in November 1985, returning regularly for the next decade. Their most recent performance with the Orchestra was in February 2017.

The Labèque sisters have been regular guests of the major orchestras of the world — including those of Amsterdam, Berlin, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Dresden, Hamburg, Leipzig, London, Los Angeles, Munich, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Vienna. They have also appeared with the English Baroque Soloists, Il Giardino Armonico, Musica Antiqua, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, and Venice Baroque. In addition, they perform regularly at renowned music festivals and in recital throughout the world.

Dedicated to repertoire both historical and modern — from Baroque and Classical to new — Katia and Marielle Labèque have worked with composers including Thomas Adès, Louis Andriessen, Luciano Berio, Pierre Boulez, David Chalmin, Philip Glass, Osvaldo Golijov, György Ligeti, and Olivier Messiaen.

In 2005, the Labèques launched the KML Foundation to research, develop awareness for, and create new duo piano repertoire. In May 2015 they premiered a concerto written for them by Glass; concertos commissioned from Bryce Dessner and Nico Muhly are scheduled for premieres.

The Labèques’ discography features works on Decca, EMI, Erato, Philips, Sony, and their own label, KML. Releases from KML include Sisters and Minimalist Dream House, which covers fifty years of minimal-

28

ist music. Recent KML projects included a partnership with Deutsche Grammophon for an album featuring Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring and Debussy’s Epigraphes Antiques. In 2018, they released an album titled Moondog Minimalist Dream House, devoted to music of Louis Thomas Hardin.

Another new album, Amoria, is an exploration of their Basque roots covering five centuries of music from the Renaissance to the present day. The Labèques can also be seen on several DVDs produced by EuroArts, including The Labèque Way: A Letter to Katia and Marielle by Alessandro Baricco produced by El Deseo (Pedro and Agustín Almodóvar) and filmed by Félix Cábez.

Among highlights of the Labèques’ recent performances is the Vienna Summer Night Concert 2016, which attracted an audience of more than 100,000; more than 1.5 million viewers worldwide followed the event on television.

The sisters graduated from the Paris Conservatory. Their biography, Une vie à quatre mains by Renaud Machart, was recently published by Buchet/Chastel.

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.

PAGERS, CELL PHONES, AND WRISTWATCH ALARMS Please silence any alarms or ringers on pagers, mobile phones, or wristwatches prior to the start of the concert.

H A I L E D A S O N E 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.

An usher will gladly help you return to your seat at an appropriate break.
