Perspectives from the Executive Director November 2018 This is a special time of year, as we gather with family and friends to celebrate the holidays and reflect on recent events while looking ahead to 2019. The past year has been a particularly busy and celebratory one for The Cleveland Orchestra. We have commemorated this remarkable ensemble’s 100th anniversary, offering up extraordinary musical experiences here at Severance Hall, at Blossom, and across the region. We have celebrated Franz Welser-Möst’s musical leadership and renewed our promise to offer music and music-making to everyone here in Northeast Ohio. Together, we have launched the Orchestra’s Second Century, built on values of excellence, caring, sharing, and the power of music to change lives. Serving the People of Northeast Ohio — Centennial celebrations across the past year brought great success and widespread acclaim. Under Franz Welser-Möst’s artistic leadership, your Cleveland Orchestra is second to none. At home in Northeast Ohio, more people are enjoying more music performed by Cleveland Orchestra musicians than ever before, and we are attracting young audiences at a rate that has caught the attention of every other orchestra in the country. All told, The Cleveland Orchestra touched the lives of more than 400,000 people from across our region in the past year. This includes over 100,000 students and adults who participated and were invigorated and inspired by our education presentations and community programs. At Blossom, where we celebrated that magnificent facility’s 50th anniversary, the Orchestra’s summer season in 2018 attracted 20,000 more attendees than the year before, with the highest attendance in 20 years. Our ongoing Under 18s Free program helped 40,000 young people attend concerts at Severance Hall and Blossom. Over 165,000 attended Orchestra concerts at Severance Hall, with another 50,000 attending a wide variety of rental events and performances here at Severance. The Centennial’s “Around the Region” Tour featured 20 performances witnessed by over 25,000 people — and was experienced by tens of thousands more statewide via telecast of our Martin Luther King Celebration concert. Truly, this past year was a time for sharing, community, and celebration. A Time of Year for Gratitude — Franz Welser-Möst, the musicians, board of trustees, staff, volunteers, and I are all grateful for your interest and support. We are deeply appreciative each and every day of the many caring people who help make each season possible. Foundations, who provide funding for education programs and innovation. Corporations, who sponsor concert presentations and special initiatives. Individuals, who donate to The Cleveland Orchestra at a rate higher than that of any other major orchestra’s hometown in the country. This past year has reminded me, again and again, that the Northeast Ohio community is the most loyal and supportive group I have experienced anywhere. You are our greatest strength. Your support and interest, your appreciation and enthusiasm make a difference in all that we do — and you are the focus of our efforts each and every day. Your passion and generosity are the fuel that drives The Cleveland Orchestra forward — in excellence and service, innovation and inspiration. As you reflect on what you are grateful for in your own life, I hope you will recall the deeply meaningful experiences that The Cleveland Orchestra has given you, and that you will celebrate those lasting memories with a year-end gift to the Orchestra. We depend on you. Thank you.

Franz: I very much look forward to the start of every season at Severance Hall, and to welcoming audiences to continue our journey together for musical discovery. Of course, this year is unique, and we kept this in mind during our planning. What does one do after a oncein-a-lifetime 100th season?! The party is over, but life continues the next day. We must continue to grow and to look for new and different experiences. Some choices were obvious. For example, after “The Prometheus Project,” we will take a little break away from Beethoven. After the very big orchestra and seriousness in Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde, this year I have chosen an opera with a much smaller orchestra — and one that has more fun inside of it. Part of Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos is a comedy. Instead of wrestling with the big questions of life and love that were in Tristan, in this opera Strauss slyly looks at the value of the arts in our lives, and how serious art and comic art complement and comment on one another. So that I think the very real and very

Exploring the 2018-19 Season

easy answer to what comes after a Centennial season is more music. And more new discoveries, more examinations of favorite pieces and neglected masterworks. And more hard work — for the Orchestra and me. These musicians always amaze me. Their dedication and incredible focus remain unmatched anywhere in the world. The coming year brings some big pieces, of course, some favorites like Mahler’s Second Symphony and Tchaikovsky’s Fifth, and some new works and new composers we haven’t heard before. And we also begin a serious exploration and re-examination of the works of two composers: Franz Schubert and Sergei Prokofiev. Some of their works are very well known, but some are not, and I want to rediscover these and share the incredible artistry and creativity of these two composers. We have a sophisticated audience in Cleveland. I am always looking for music that isn’t played often enough, that may have been neglected, so we can discover something new together.

Q: Please comment on your overall philosophy for programming.

Franz: I think it is important to “think big,” to be daring and try things. You do not grow by doing the same things in the same way again and again. And I think this is why The Cleveland Orchestra is

Severance Hall 2018-19

unique. When I look around the classical music world, so much has become tame and playing it safe. And that makes things dull and boring, and you take everything for granted, and you become dull and boring. There are pieces we come back to again and again. How do you make them come to life in performance? Some people call these “warhorses,” which is not always intended as a compliment. But a “warhorse,” in the real sense of the word is alive with feeling and purpose, and you can count on it to carry you through the journey, even into battle. We looked at Beethoven’s music — his “warhorses” — last season with new eyes and ears. And I think doing that opened many people’s eyes and minds to new ways of hearing those pieces. I want audiences to be open to hearing new music and old music with that same curiosity and intensity.

Q: What can you tell us about Ariadne auf Naxos, this year’s opera presentation?

Franz: Ariadne auf Naxos is part of a series of operas which I have programmed to expand and challenge the Orchestra as they continue to grow artistically. And Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos does exactly this. Instead of a very large Wagnerian orchestra, Ariadne is scored for a chamber group of 35 musicians. After the dark seriousness of Wagner, Ariadne features comic

Franz talks about the 2018-19 Season

elements. It is a wonderful opera, funny and serious at the same time, with beautiful music. In essence, it is a contest between classical art and comedy. There is a play within the play, or really an opera within an opera. The similarities and contrasts — what is happening and what the characters want to happen — are very telling. I really love this opera, and I am eager to hear the musicians of The Cleveland Orchestra interpret this music. Strauss’s writing includes marvelous solos — for flute and oboe and cello, for instance — that will be truly vibrant and meaningful when played by the principal players in Cleveland. The music is unbelievably beautiful, so much so that some passages literally bring me to tears. I have always admired and enjoyed Strauss’s musical genius. As time passes, I find that I appreciate his approach to music-making more and more. This opera spans, as the saying goes, ‘from the sublime to the ridiculous — from beauty to humor.’ And audiences will love it.

Q: Can you talk about how the opera is being presented and staged?

Franz: Ariadne is the next of our madefor-Cleveland productions. With it, we are introducing a new stage director, Frederic Wake-Walker. I worked with him in Milan a couple years ago, and he is exactly the kind of director that we look for — with a creative mind that brings new ideas, who wants to re-examine old works and to discover new meaning or perhaps to find the original meaning but from the perspective of being alive today, to shine light on the core meanings written into a work. His ideas will incorporate Severance Hall — and its classic beauty — into the staging,

embracing the fact that we are presenting this opera here in this beautiful hall. We have a superb cast. Andreas Schager is singing the all-but-impossible role for tenor. And Tamara Wilson will be incredible as Ariadne. Daniela Fally will be amazing with the challenging vocal gymnastics written for the role of Zerbinetta. And, of course, we have a great orchestra, who will be involved onstage, too. All of this will come together to offer audiences something very special and unique. It will be meaningful and engaging, with touches of humor. The music, as I said, is just incredibly beautiful.

Q: Any closing thoughts? Franz: The musicians of The Cleveland Orchestra are a group of gifted and extraordinarily talented people. They are curious about music and everything they do. I believe that it is very important, in the arts, that we try new things and that we find new ways of looking at the things that are familiar to us. If you don’t risk something, if you don’t take unexpected turns, if you don’t question what you know, you will become tired and bored — and boring. Think big! Nurture the people around you. Listen with open ears and minds! The experience will reward you.

“We can’t think of a better way to use our resources than to support an organization that brings us such great pleasure.” Tony and Pat Lauria believe in doing their part to cultivate and celebrate the extraordinary things in life — including wine, food, and music. For today and for future generations.

Great music has always been important to Tony and Pat Lauria. They’ve been avid subscribers and donors to The Cleveland Orchestra for many years, and it has become such a major part of their lives that they plan international travel around the Orchestra’s schedule in order to enjoy more concerts at home and on tour. “It gives us great pleasure to be a part of The Cleveland Orchestra,” Pat says. In addition to regularly attending concerts and giving to the annual fund, Tony and Pat have established several Charitable Gift Annuities through the Orchestra, which now pay them a fixed stream of income in return for their gifts. To anyone who is considering establishing a Charitable Gift Annuity, Tony says, “It’s a great investment — for yourself and the Orchestra!” To receive a confidential, personalized gift annuity illustration and to join the Laurias in their support of The Cleveland Orchestra’s future, contact Dave Stokley, Legacy Giving Officer, at 216-231-8006 or email dstokley@clevelandorchestra.com.

THE

CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

its Centennial Season in 2017-18 and across 2018, The Cleveland Orchestra begins its Second Century hailed as one of the very best orchestras on the planet, noted for its musical excellence and for its devotion and service to the community it calls home. The coming season will mark the ensemble’s seventeenth year under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst, one of today’s most acclaimed musical leaders. Working together, the Orchestra and its board of trustees, staff, volunteers, and hometown have affirmed a set of community-inspired goals for the 21st century — to continue the Orchestra’s legendary command of musical excellence while focusing new efforts and resources toward fully serving its hometown community throughout Northeast Ohio. The promise of continuing extraordinary concert experiences, engaging music education programs, and innovative technologies offers future generations dynamic access to the best symphonic entertainment possible anywhere. The Cleveland Orchestra divides its time 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 intensive performance residencies. These include a recurring residency at Vienna’s Musikverein, and regular appearances at Switzerland’s Lucerne Festival, in New York, at Indiana University, and in Miami, Florida. 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 orchestraconductor partnerships of today. Performances of standard repertoire and new works are unrivalled at home and on tour across the globe, and through recordings and broadcasts. Its longstanding championship of new composers and commissioning of new works helps audiences experience music as a living language that grows with each new generation. Fruitful re-examinations and juxtapositions of traditional repertoire, recording projects and tours of varying repertoire and in different locations, 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.

commitment to serving Cleveland and surrounding communities. 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 series of neighborhood residencies and visits, designed to bring the Orchestra and the citizens of Northeast Ohio together in new ways. Active performance ensembles and programs provide proof of the benefits of direct participation in making music for people of all ages. 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 — as the Orchestra now boasts one of the youngest audiences attending regular symphonic concerts anywhere. 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 —

Each year since 1989, The Cleveland Orchestra has presented a free concert in downtown Cleveland, with this past summer’s on July 6 as the ensemble’s official 100th Birthday bash. Nearly 3 million people have experienced the Orchestra through these free performances.

including casual Friday night concerts, film scores performed live by the Orchestra, collaborations with pop and jazz singers, ballet and opera presentations, and standard repertoire juxtaposed in meaningful contexts with new and older works. Franz Welser-Möst’s creative vision has given the Orchestra an unequaled opportunity to explore music as a universal language of communication and understanding. An Enduring Tradition of Community Support. The Cleveland Orchestra was born in Cleveland, created by a group of visionary citizens who believed in the power of music and aspired to having the best performances of great orchestral music possible anywhere. Generations of Clevelanders have supported this vision and enjoyed the Orchestra’s performances as some of the best such concert experiences available in the world. Hundreds of thousands have learned to love music through its education programs and have celebrated important events with its music.

The Cleveland Orchestra

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 ensemble 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, 1933-43; Erich Leinsdorf, 1943-46; George Szell, 194670; Lorin Maazel, 1972-82; Christoph von Dohnányi, 1984-2002; and Franz WelserMöst, from 2002 forward. 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.

INTRODUCING THE CONCERT

Stories, Music&America

ADAM S

COPLAND

F O L L O W I N G T W E N T Y Y E A R S of youthful and creative experimenta-

tion, John Adams emerged in the 1990s as America’s most performed and most influential serious composer since Aaron Copland’s heyday fifty years before. In the three decades since, his musical artistry — as composer, conductor, teacher, and innovator — has continued to mature and expand. Today, his leadership in modern music is recognized, praised, and well-celebrated. Starting out, Adams’s music was most often labeled as Minimalism — a kind of modern, repetitive, incremental music that lives and dies by constant rhythm working alongside gradual harmonic changes. But Adams grew to be much more than a Minimalist and, like any truly great composer, has successfully created a style of writing that is unmistakably and recognizably his own. His ability to blend melody and dramatic action into the rhythmic fabric of his works has extended his creative canvas — and enriched our ears. This week, we welcome Adams back to the Severance Hall stage to lead a program featuring two of his own works — one early and one recent, created thirty years apart — plus two contrasting classics by that other American titan, Aaron Copland. Together, these two composers represent much claim and fame within America’s drive for musical innovation, achievement, and evolution — and the changing musical landscape across the past century. The concert begins with a tongue-in-cheek piece by Adams, his very brief Short Ride in a Fast Machine from 1986. Please keep your hands and arms safely beside you during this roller-coaster-like experience of just what a modern symphony orchestra can do downhill, swerving and careening about in fun fulfillment. Next come the two works by Copland, the quietly disquieting night music of Quiet City (premiered in concert in 1941), followed by his great ode and paean to rural, natural goodness in the ballet music for Appalachian Spring (premiered 1944). The concert closes with a new violin concerto — or, as Adams describes it, a “dramatic symphony” with violin in the principal role. Scheherazade.2, premiered in 2015, takes up questions of history, gender, power, and potential in our modern world, and the changing place and methods (and reasons) for stories to be told anew. —Eric Sellen Severance Hall 2018-19

John

ADAMS born February 15, 1947 Worcester, Massachusetts currently residing in Berkeley, California

Adams wrote his Short Ride in a Fast Machine in 1986 on commission from the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra’s Great Woods Festival. The work was premiered on June 13, 1986, in Mansfield, Massachusetts, by the Pittsburgh Symphony under the direction of Michael Tilson Thomas. This work runs less than 5 minutes in performance. Adams scored it for 2 flutes (both doubling piccolo), 2 oboes (second doubling english horn), 4

clarinets, 3 bassoons (third doubling contrabassoon), 4 horns, 4 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion (woodblocks, triangle, xylophone, crotales, glockenspiel, suspended cymbal, sizzle cymbal, snare drum, pedal bass drum, large bass drum, large tam-tam, tambourine), 2 synthesizers (optional), and strings. The Cleveland Orchestra first presented this work in 1993 at Blossom, and most recently in 2012 at Severance.

About the Music S H O R T R I D E I N A F A S T M A C H I N E is an early-ish work by

John Adams, filled with energy, beating rhythm, and drive. Yet even in this work, he was building and evolving beyond the Minimalist label that early-on pegged him too specifically into only one corner of the musical world. Minimalism is a kind of modern repetitive, incremental music that lives and dies by constant rhythm working alongside gradual harmonic changes. And Adams may have started in that realm, but even his early works show, clearly in hindsight, his potential for growing further and beyond. Adams wrote Short Ride in a Fast Machine in 1986. The work’s first performance was given by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in June of that year. In explaining the title, Adams said, “You know how it is when someone asks you to ride in a terrific sports car, and then you wish you hadn’t?” The motor of the Machine runs on a beat established at the beginning by woodblocks and trumpets (Adams has described the woodblocks’ persistent beat as “almost sadistic”). After that, there’s a lot of whirring, soaring, revving, and zooming, as well as a few backfires and hiccups of the mostly well-oiled machine. Rather than wishing they hadn’t, many listeners will wish that the ride had gone on longer — or, like a roller-coaster, they may choose to ride it again and again, just for fun.

COPLAND born November 14, 1900 Brooklyn, New York died December 2, 1990 Sleepy Hollow, New York

Severance Hall 2018-19

Copland wrote the original version of Quiet City (scored for trumpet, saxophone, clarinet, and piano) in 1938, as incidental music to Irwin Shaw’s play of the same name, which was being produced by Copland’s friend Harold Clurman. The play was premiered at the Belasco Theatre on April 16, 1939, but closed after only two performances. Copland reworked his music into a self-standing piece in the summer of 1940 in Lenox, Massachusetts. The concert work’s first performance was given by the Saidenberg Little

Symphony, conducted by Daniel Saidenberg, at New York City’s Town Hall on January 28, 1941. The score was dedicated to Ralph Hawkes of the Boosey & Hawkes music publishing company. Quiet City runs about 10 minutes in performance. Copland scored it for trumpet, english horn, and strings. The Cleveland Orchestra performed Quiet City for the first time in October 1944, conducted by Vladimir Golschmann. The most recent performance was at Blossom in 2006.

About the Music “ A S Q U I N T E S S E N T I A L LY Copland as are his more exuberant works, such as the cowboy ballets, Quiet City shows the introspective Copland, who liked to compose during the late night hours and enjoyed the idea of quiet streets before a city awakens for a new day.” These words, written by musicologist Vivian Perlis, the co-author of Copland’s autobiography, say a great deal about the feelings expressed in both Copland’s music and the play for which it was at first written. The late night hours, whose atmosphere is captured in Quiet City, are the setting for the play which provided the initial impulse of the composition; ultimately, however, the music became independent from any outside source of inspiration and clearly “shows the introspective Copland.” Irwin Shaw’s play, as Copland later described it, “was about a young trumpet player who imagined the night thoughts of many different people in a great city and played trumpet to express his emotions and to arouse the consciences of the other characters and of the audience.” (Copland’s words are not entirely accurate about the play itself, in which the trumpet player is actually the brother of the main character, but the composer’s description gives a clear idea of how he envisioned the trumpet interjecting and interacting with the nocturnal quietude.) In 1938, the play Quiet City was being readied for Broadway by Copland’s friend Harold Clurman (then director of the Group About the Music

Theatre). Copland initially wrote the play’s incidental music for a jazz quartet — trumpet, saxophone, clarinet, and piano. Premiered in April 1939, the play and music were withdrawn after only two performances. Copland, however, returned to the music and recreated it in its current form while teaching composition at the Berkshire Music Festival during the summer of 1940. As Copland himself stated, “My piece Quiet City seems to have become a musical entity, superseding the original reasons for its composition. The work has been called ‘atmospheric’ and ‘reflective,’ and David Mellnikoff [the name of the character] has long since been forgotten!” As for the music itself: After a short introduction of long-held notes, Copland’s Quiet City begins with a soulful trumpet solo, consisting of repeated notes, to be played in a “nervous” and “mysterious” tone according to Copland’s marking in the score. The trumpet and the english horn take turns intoning a series of melodies that may have stood for the various scenes and people invoked by the trumpeter in the play. The dynamics are mostly low, except for one more impassioned section that rises to a triple fortissimo; this climax is followed by a return of the “nervous” trumpet solo and of the introductory material. The silence of night, broken by the sound of the trumpet, is restored again. —Peter Laki © 2018 Copyright © Musical Arts Association

Ballet Suite: Appalachian Spring created in 1945 from the ballet score written in 1944

Copland wrote Appalachian Spring in 1944, on commission from Martha Graham for her dance theater. The first performance took place on October 30, 1944, at the Coolidge Festival in the Library of Congress, Washington D.C. Copland completed the orchestral suite in 1945, and it was first performed on October 4, 1945, by the New York Philharmonic, with Artur Rodzinski conducting. The ballet suite runs about 25 minutes in performance. Copland originally wrote it for a chamber ensemble of 13 instruments, but subsequently prepared a suite

for an orchestra of 2 flutes (second doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, percussion (bass drum, snare drum, tabor, cymbals, triangle, woodblock, claves, chimes, xylophone, glockenspiel), piano, harp, and strings. The Cleveland Orchestra first presented the Appalachian Spring suite in October 1945 under Erich Leinsdorf’s direction. This music — as suite or the full ballet score — has been performed regularly since then, most recently in 2016 at Blossom led by Bramwell Tovey.

About the Music C O P L A N D ’ S O R I G I N A L T I T L E for Appalachian Spring was Ballet for Martha. Martha was Martha Graham, the grande dame of modern American dance theater. Composer and dancer had long been great admirers of each other’s work when Graham commissioned Copland to write the music for one of her new ballets. The Coolidge Festival was sponsoring a festival at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. At the premiere in October 1944, Appalachian Spring was presented as part of a triple bill that also included ballets with music by Darius Milhaud and Paul Hindemith. For her collaboration with Copland, Graham had conceived a ballet taking place in rural Pennsylvania at the beginning of the 19th century. She had not found a title for this work until shortly before the premiere, when she came upon the long poem “The Bridge” by Hart Crane. In it a section called “The Dance” includes the line “O Appalachian Spring!” Copland later recalled Graham saying, “The title really has nothing to do with the ballet, I just liked it.” Nevertheless, it was an extremely well-chosen title. Copland wrote: “I can’t begin to tell you how often people have come up to me and said, ‘Mr. Copland, when I hear your score I can just see the Appalachians and feel spring!”

About the Music

ABOVE

The original production of Appalachian Spring in 1944.

Copland had already written two ballets on American themes — Billy the Kid and Rodeo. Appalachian Spring, however, is different from its predecessors in that its mood is gentle and lyrical from beginning to end, whereas the earlier works had included rough-andtumble cowboy scenes. The preface to the printed score provides a summary of the action, written by Edwin Denby: “The work concerns a pioneer celebration in spring around a newly built farmhouse in the Pennsylvania hills in the early part of the last century. The bride-to-be and the young farmer-husband enact the emotions, joyful and apprehensive, which their new domestic partnership invites. An older neighbor suggests, now and then, the rocky confidence of experience. A revivalist and his followers remind the new householders of the strange and terrible aspects of human fate. At the end, the couple are left quiet and strong in their new house.” Although the various musical sections are contrasted in tempo and character, a few recurrent melodic motifs run through the entire work, giving the score a remarkable sense of unity and a fundamental aura of peace and love. A crystalizing moment is the appearance of the Shaker melody “Simple Gifts,” which expresses the joy and contentment of the protagonists accepting the gift of life. In 1945, Copland received the Pulitzer Prize in music for Appalachian Spring. That same year, Copland condensed the original ballet music into a suite, “retaining all essential features but omitting those sections in which the interest is primarily choreographic,” as he himself explained. In this form, Appalachian Spring started a life of its own away from the ballet stage and quickly became a universal concert favorite. As Copland wrote, “This piece had a great deal to do with bringing my name before a larger public.” —Peter Laki © 2018 Copyright © Musical Arts Association

Adams wrote Scheherazade.2 in 2014-15 on a joint commission from the New York Philharmonic, Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra, and Australia’s Sydney Symphony Orchestra. The first performance was given March 26, 2015, by the New York Philharmonic under Alan Gilbert’s direction, with Leila Josefowicz as the soloist. This concerto/symphony runs nearly 50 minutes in performance.

Adams scored it for 2 flutes and picc colo, 2 oboes and english horn, 2 clarinets and bass clarinet, 2 bassoons and contrabassoon, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani, percussion (2 bass drums, tam-tam, rute, whip, cymbals, tuned gongs, xylophone, vibraphone), cimbalom, celesta, 2 harps, and strings, plus the solo violin. The Cleveland Orchestra is presenting Scheherazade.2 for the first time with this weekend’s concerts.

About the Music J O H N A D A M S has always been attracted to stories and drama

— and practiced his art as the act of a musical storyteller. Music was and is his canvas, but humanity is the subject. Our thrills and loves, our reactions of joy or grief, our curiosity and search for understanding. After a childhood of musical diversity — both parents encouraged him to listen to anything and everything — his time studying at Harvard was filled with radical, cerebral, and changing musical ideas. He sampled and borrowed and used, never afraid or ashamed to parlay whatever musical language told a new work’s story clearly and with emotional depth. He grabbed hold of the rhythmic repetition of Minimalism after moving to California, and then quickly expanded his vocabulary even further, layering Minimalism — and its inherent tonal shifting — with intense harmony, contrasting tempos, strong melody, big storytelling, and deep meaning. His Short Ride in a Fast Machine, which opened tonight’s concert, is not really about the “Machine,” but about our reaction to it. Both the Machine and the thrill of it are captured and layered together as one within the music. Early on, he took a stab at opera, with Nixon in China (1987) quickly becoming a modern classic — blending contemporary subject, music, and spectacle with the dramatic inner stories of his main characters. More operas followed, including Death of Klinghoffer,r Doctor Atomic, c and A Flowering Tree, along with a series of oratorios — really concert operas, often given staged About the Music

presentations; imagine a present-day Handel, weaving his way between opera and oratorio for the “right” way to move an audience through storyline and music. His concertos, too, fall naturally in line with the idea of musical drama — music as a reason and means to communicate, not merely entertain, regardless of how beautiful the melodies and fun they can also be to hear. As Adams describes the origins of Scheherazade.2 (below), he’s also never shied from commenting on the world and human culture, and of begging bigger questions. Here, in a new violin concerto he tackles ideas of gender equality, leadership, women’s power, #MeToo (before it crystalized into frontpage news with a name and hashtag), and a world made small by technology and ideas. —Eric Sellen © 2018 The composer has written the following comments about this work for violin and orchestra: T H E I M P E T U S for Scheherazade.2 was an exhibition at the

Institute du Monde Arabe in Paris detailing the history of the “Arabian Nights” and of Scheherazade and how this story has evolved over the centuries. The casual brutality toward women that lies at the base of many of these tales prodded me to think about the many images of women oppressed or abused or violated that we see today in the news on a daily basis. In the old tale, Scheherazade is the lucky one who, through her endless inventiveness, is able to save her own life. But there is not much to celebrate when one thinks that she is spared simply because of her cleverness and ability to keep on entertaining her warped, murderous husband. Thinking about what a Scheherazade in our own time might be like brought to mind some famous examples of women under threat for their lives — for example the “woman in the blue bra” in Tahrir Square, dragged through the streets, severely beaten, humiliated and physically exposed by enraged, violent men. Or the young Iranian student, Neda Agha-Soltan, who was shot to death while attending a peaceful protest in Tehran. Or women routinely attacked and even executed by religious fanatics in any number of countries — India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, wherever. Nor are modern images that come to mind certainly aren’t

exclusive to the Middle East. We see examples, if not quite so graphic nonetheless profoundly disturbing, from everywhere in the world including in our own country and even on our own college campuses. So I was suddenly struck by the idea of a “dramatic symphony” in which the principal character role is taken by the solo violin — and she would be Scheherazade. While not having an actual storyline or plot, the symphony follows a set of provocative images: a beautiful young woman with grit and personal power; a pursuit by “true believers”; a love scene that is both violent and tender; a scene in which she is tried by a court of religious zealots (“Scheherazade and the Men with Beards”), during which the men argue doctrine among themselves and rage and shout at her only to have her calmly respond to their accusations); and a final “escape, flight, and sanctuary” which must be the archetypal dream of any woman importuned by a man or men. I composed the piece specifically for Leila Josefowicz, who has been my friend and champion of my music (and many other composers) for nearly fifteen years. Together, we’ve performed my Violin Concerto and my concerto for amplified violin (titled The Dharma at Big Sur) r many times. This new work is a true collaboration and reflects a creative dialogue with Leila that went back and forth for well over a year and that I expect will continue long after the first performance. I find Leila a perfect embodiment of the kind of empowered strength and energy, which a modern Scheherazade would possess. —John John Adams Adams, 2015

About the Music

John Adams As a composer, conductor, and creative thinker, John Adams occupies a unique position in American music. His operatic and symphonic works have been praised for their depth of expression, clear sound world, and humanistic themes. Mr. Adams’s music has been featured regularly on Cleveland Orchestra concerts, including the world premiere of Century Rolls, a piano concerto commissioned by the Orchestra and premiered with Emanuel Ax in 1997 and recorded in 1999. Mr. Adams has conducted The Cleveland Orchestra in concert on two previous occasions, for weekends of concerts in 1991 and 1999. During the past thirty years, Mr. Adams’s compositions have helped move musical aesthetics away from academic modernism and toward a more expansive language embraced by audiences and musicians alike. As a sought-after conductor, he has led the world’s major orchestras, as well as conducting his operas for several of the globe’s leading opera companies. Born in New England, John Adams learned clarinet from his father and played in marching bands and community orchestras. He began composing at age 10 and later earned two degrees from Harvard. He has lived in Northern California since 1971. John Adams taught for a decade at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music before becoming composer-in-residence of the San Francisco Symphony from 1982 to 1985, during which time he wrote many landmark orchestral works. His collaboration with stage director Peter Sellars, which began in 1985, has resulted in three decades of operas and oratorios, rangSeverance Hall 2018-19

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

Family’s love of music and support for The Cleveland Orchestra carries forward through new generations . . . A Y E A R A G O, following a lifetime of connections

with The Cleveland Orchestra, Susan Morgan Martin, Patricia Morgan Kulp, and Ann Jones Morgan — affectionately known as the “Morgan Sisters” — were preparing for their annual lunch with Daniel McKelway, the Orchestra’s E-flat clarinetist, and his wife, Orchestra violist Lembi Veskimets. The sisters’ parents, Stanley and Eloise Morgan had endowed the chair McKelway has with The Cleveland Orchestra, and the three daughters were now arranging a generous surprise gift of their own. At the table, they quietly presented a small, gift-wrapped chair to Lembi. And it didn’t take long for her to understand and appreciate the symbolism: the Morgan Sisters had endowed her chair just as their parents had done eighteen years earlier for her husband’s chair. This cash gift to the Orchestra’s Endowment was simply the latest contribution from a family whose passion for classical music was kindled the year Severance Hall opened, in 1931, when 11-year-old Eloise attended her first Cleveland Orchestra concert. In the ensuing years, Eloise learned to play the piano and Stanley mastered the clarinet and saxophone. The Morgans not only instilled a love of music in their three daughters, but encouraged them to carry forward their own roles as patrons of The Cleveland Orchestra. Although Stanley and Eloise are gone, music maintains a special place in the lives of the Morgan family. The three sisters are working to pass along their love for The Cleveland Orchestra to their own children and grandchildren, who often

join them for concerts at Severance Hall or Blossom Music Center. The family’s appreciation of music continues to grow in its youngest generation — many of the Morgan sisters’ grandchildren are now playing in high school and college orchestras, a fact the family knows would make Stanley and Eloise very proud. By giving to the Endowment, the Morgan family’s generosity will positively impact The Cleveland Orchestra’s financial strength far into the future.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

Franz Welser-Möst and Cleveland Orchestra look toward Asia tour in spring 2019 . . . T H E C L E V E L A N D O R C H E S T R A and Franz Welser-Möst embark on their nineteenth international tour together in spring 2019, with eleven performances scheduled across Asia in seven cities: Taipei, Macau, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, and Beijing. The tour’s repertoire showcases four musical works, two from the 19th century and two from the 20th, with Beethoven’s “Emperor” Piano Concerto (No. 5) featuring soloist Daniil Trifonov and Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony, alongside Richard Strauss’s tone poem Ein Heldenleben and Prokofiev’s Third Symphony. The 2019 Asia Tour will be the Orchestra and Welser-Möst’s third trip together to Asia and features their first joint appearances in China. The tour includes the first Cleveland Orchestra performances in Macau, Shenzhen, Wuhan, and Nanjing, along with return visits to Beijing and Shanghai (which the Orchestra first visited in 1998) and to Taipei (where the Orchestra played in 1987). “The Cleveland Orchestra has toured internationally almost every season for the past half century,” says André Gremillet, Cleveland Orchestra executive director, “and we are very proud to represent Cleveland and Ohio around the world. Touring is also an essential part of our season both from an artistic and an audience development perspective.” “We are very fortunate to be able to share our music-making with people from all around the world,” continued Gremillet. It’s been over two decades since The Cleveland Orchestra last appeared in China — and we are excited to return to a country that is now one of the most important music markets in the world and to perform for audiences that are so enthusiastic and appreciative of classical music.” Praise for The Cleveland Orchestra’s collaborative partnership with Franz Welser-Möst continues to grow each season. Recently, the New York Times called the ensemble “… America’s most brilliant orchestra.” Two tours during its 100th season, to Europe in 2017 and to Europe and Japan in 2018, demonstrated the Cleveland/ Welser-Möst partnership to sold-out houses. “Whenever we go to a part of the world, to a place we haven’t been for a long time, or in this case to some cities where The Cleveland Orchestra

has never been before, I believe it is important to present a range of repertoire that showcases the Orchestra’s abilities and lets the artistry of this ensemble really shine,” said Franz Welser-Möst. “I can’t claim this idea, but live music is one of the only art forms that can truly travel the world,” commented Richard K. Smucker, Cleveland Orchestra board president. “In our case, the Orchestra spreads the reputation and quality of Cleveland itself — not only domestically but internationally. Founded in 1918, The Cleveland Orchestra’s first tour took place the next year, when the ensemble’s musicians traveled by train to perform in nearby cities, including Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Youngstown, Ohio. They crossed an international border for the first time in 1922, to perform in Canada, and also made their first appearance at New York City’s famed Carnegie Hall in 1922. The Orchestra first crossed ocean waters in 1927 to perform in Cuba. Major overseas and international touring began in 1957, with the ensemble’s first trip to Europe, featuring 29 concerts across more than five weeks that spring. As the Orchestra’s fame spread — fanned by recordings and radio broadcasts — new and lengthy concert tours of Europe followed in the 1960s, as well as the first trip to Asia in 1970, featuring 12 concerts in Japan and Korea. Touring expanded in the following decades, with Cleveland’s first tour to Australia and New Zealand (1973), and South America and Mexico (1975), along with increasingly frequent visits to Europe and appearances across the United States. “Music is the most universal language,” adds André Gremillet. “While we come from different cultures and live in different environments, experiencing great music together reminds us that what we all have in common is greater than what might separate us.”

Orchestra digitizes history to share re The Cleveland Orchestra has teamed up with Cleveland Public Library to preserve and share with the public materials from the Orchestra’s archive collection. An initial selection of digitized materials from the Orchestra’s Archives “news and reviews” collection was released online during National Archives Month in October. The materials can be viewed free of charge online at cplorg.contentdm.oclc.org. The Cleveland Orchestra Archives houses materials from across the institution’s 100-year history, including scrapbooks, paper files, recordings, photographs, meeting minutes and business papers, as well as publications and brochures. This initial digitization focuses on scrapbooks containing articles and reviews. Following a nationwide vendor screening and search, the Orchestra contracted with Cleveland Digital Public Library to digitize its entire collection of 354 scrapbooks totaling approximately 40,000 pages, as well as an additional 28 linear feet of clippings. By digitizing its archives, the Orchestra is able to increase free public ac-

collection while reducing cess to its collecti the handling of physical materials. The Library will host the digitized materials online for scholars, news media, musicologists, and fans of the Orchestra to search and view. “We were very excited that we could fulfill our digitization needs right here at home by working with Cleveland Public Library, one of our nation’s great public research libraries,” says Andria Hoy, the Orchestra’s archivist. “We’re excited to release the first portion of materials to the public.” The entire digitization project is estimated to take between three and four years to complete, with additional scrapbooks released on the Library’s Digital Gallery in future years. The content is being processed for Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to allow text searching of the online collection.

THANKS TO THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA,

CLASSICAL MUSIC IS ALIVE AND WELL. Trust us, we would know.

For nearly 150 years, Lake View Cemetery has been the final resting place for people of all denominations and walks of life. The majestic beauty of the lush trees, rolling landscapes, and pristine pond have stood the test of time. And for what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth, the headstones have, too.

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

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.

Guest Information

SHARING THE SPACE

ACCESS AND SERVICES

The concert halls and lobbies are shared by all audience members. Please be mindful and courteous to others. To ensure the listening pleasure of all patrons, please note that anyone creating a disturbance may be asked to leave the performance.

We welcome all guests to our concerts and strive to make our performances accessible to all patrons.

LATE SEATING Performances at Severance Hall start at the time designated on the ticket. In deference to the performers onstage, and for the comfort and listening pleasure of audience members, late-arriving patrons will not be seated while music is being performed. Latecomers are asked to wait quietly until the first break in the program, when ushers will assist them to their seats. Please note that performances without intermission may not have a seating break. These arrangements are at the discretion of the House Manager in consultation with the conductor and performing artists. Happy artists make better concerts.

PHOTOGRAPHY AND SELFIES, VIDEO AND AUDIO RECORDING Photographs of the hall and selfies to share with others through social media can be taken when the performance is not in progress. However, audio recording, photography, and videography are prohibited during performances at Severance Hall.

PHONES AND WATCHES As a courtesy to others, please turn off or silence any phone or device that makes noise or emits light — including disarming electronic watch alarms. Please consider placing your phone in “airplane mode” upon entering the concert hall.

HEARING AIDS Patrons with hearing aids are asked to be attentive to the sound level of their hearing devices and adjust them accordingly so as not to disturb those near you.

MEDICAL ASSISTANCE Contact an usher or a member of the house staff if you require medical attention. Emergency medical assistance is provided in partnership with University Hospitals Event Medics and the UH Residency Program.

SECURITY AND FIREARMS For the security of everyone attending concerts, large bags (including all backpacks) and musical instrument cases are prohibited in the concert halls. These must be checked at coatcheck and may be subject to search. Severance Hall is a firearms-free facility. With the exception of on-duty law enforcement personnel, no one may possess a firearm on the premises.

IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY Emergency exits are clearly marked throughout the building. Ushers and house staff will provide instructions in the event of an emergency.

SERVICES FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES Severance Hall provides special seating options for mobility-impaired persons and their companions and families. There are wheelchair- and scooter-accessible locations where patrons can remain in their wheelchairs or transfer to a concert seat. Aisle seats with removable armrests are also available for persons who wish to transfer. Tickets for wheelchair accessible and companion seating can be purchased by phone, in person, or online. As a courtesy, Severance Hall provides wheelchairs to assist patrons in going to and from their seats upon entering the building. Patrons can make arrangements by calling the House Manager in advance at 216-231-7425. Service animals are welcome at Severance Hall. Please notify the Ticket Office as you buy tickets.

ASSISTANCE FOR THE DEAF OR HARD OF HEARING Infrared Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs) are available without charge for most performances at Severance Hall, in Reinberger Chamber Hall and upstairs in the Concert Hall. Please inquire with a Head Usher or the House Manager to check out an ALD. A driver’s license or ID card is required, which will be held until the return of the device.

LARGE PRINT PROGRAMS AND BRAILLE EDITIONS A large print edition of most Cleveland Orchestra program books are available; please ask an usher. Braille versions of our program books can be made available with advance request; please call 216-231-7425.

CHILDREN AND FAMILIES Our Under 18s Free ticket program is designed to encourage families to attend together. For more details, visit clevelandorchestra.com/under18. Regardless of age, each person must have a ticket and be able to sit quietly in a seat throughout the performance. Cleveland Orchestra subscription concerts are not recommended for children under the age of 8. However, there are several age-appropriate series designed specifically for children and youth, including: Musical Explorers! (recommended for children 3 to 6 years old) and Family Concerts (for ages 7 and older).

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

PARKING GARAGE PARKING Pre-paid parking for the Campus Center Garage can be purchased in advance through the Ticket Office for $15 per concert. This pre-paid parking ensures you a parking space, but availability of pre-paid parking passes is limited. Available on-line, by phone, or in person. Parking can be purchased (cash only) for the at-door price of $11 per vehicle when space in the Campus Center Garage permits. Parking is also available in several lots within 1-2 blocks of Severance Hall. Visit the Orchestra’s website for more information and details.

FRIDAY MATINEE PARKING Parking availability for Friday Morning Matinee performances is extremely limited. Bus service options are available for your convenience: Shuttle bus service from Cleveland Heights is available from the parking lot at Cedar Hill Baptist Church (12601 Cedar Road). The round-trip service rate is $5 per person. Suburban round-trip bus transportation is available from four locations: Beachwood Place, Westlake RTA Park-and-Ride, St. Basil Church in Brecksville, and Summit Mall in Akron. The round-trip service rate is $15 per person per concert, and is operated with support from Friends of The Cleveland Orchestra.

TICKETS LOST TICKETS If you have lost or misplaced your tickets, please contact the Ticket Office as soon as possible. In most cases, the Ticket Office will be able to provide you with duplicate seating passes, which you can pick up prior to the performance.

TICKET EXCHANGES Subscribers unable to attend on a particular concert date can exchange their tickets for a different performance of the same week’s program. Subscribers may exchange their subscription tickets for another subscription program up to five days prior to a performance. There is no service charge for the five-day advance ticket exchanges. If a ticket exchange is requested within 5 days of the performance, a $10 service charge per concert applies. Visit clevelandorchestra.com for details.

UNABLE TO USE YOUR TICKETS? Ticket holders unable to use or exchange their tickets are encouraged to notify the Ticket Office so that those tickets can be resold. Because of the demand for tickets to Cleveland Orchestra performances, “turnbacks” make seats available to other music lovers and can provide additional income to the Orchestra. If you return your tickets at least two hours before the concert, the value of each ticket can be a tax-deductible contribution. Patrons who turn back tickets receive a cumulative donation acknowledgement at the end of each calendar year.
