EUROPEAN ADVENTURES AWAIT Flights from Cleveland in spring

Now is the time to plan your European adventure.

We look forward to returning to Cleveland in the spring, offering more than 25 destinations across Europe. + icelandair.com

Perspectives from the Executive Director December 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.

2O18 Holiday Festival

The Music of Christmas F E W T H I N G S remind us more quickly of the Christmas season than the sound of a favorite carol, song, or phrase of holiday music. Beyond thoughts of the Christmas Story itself, few things are as sure to set us smiling, humming, and looking forward to annual greetings and visits from family and friends. The rituals of baking, shopping, and hanging decorations are amplified with the simple pleasure of listening to some of the beautiful music inspired by this December holiday.

While music specifically associated with Christmas can be dated back at least as far as the 13th century, many of today’s favorite Christmas carols and songs were created in the past 300 years. “Adeste Fideles” was written in 1782, “Silent Night” in 1818, and “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear” in 1849. Many composers have been inspired by the Christmas Story to write great music — from Bach’s Magnificat (1723) and Christmas Oratorio (1734) to Handel’s Messiah (1741), from Berlioz’s L’Enfance du Christ (“The Childhood of Christ,” 1854) to Johannes Brahms’s arrangement of “Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming” (1896), and into the 20th century with such well-known collections as Benjamin Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols (1942) or the many carol and song arrangements created by Robert Shaw and Alice Parker — and more recent songs for the season by Mel Tormé, John Rutter, Paul McCartney, Vince Gill, Coldplay, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Pentatonix, and others.

Throughout the 19th century, a renewed interest in (and commercialization of) Christmas saw the growth of many traditions — including the custom of decorating a Christmas tree (popularized in Great Britain by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert), the manufacturing of many new kinds of seasonal decorations, the writing of many new Christmas stories (including the publication of “The Night writ Before Christmas” in 1823 and Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol in 1843), and Be the widespread adoption of St. Nicholas (soon to be called Santa Claus) as customary parts of the season.

Musical offerings also expanded, with the planning of ever-more elaborate and festive presentations to celebrate the season in sound. In America, such inspirational 20th-century choral leaders as Fred Waring and A Robert Shaw helped popularize new songs and new arrangements, while major Rob orchestras, new brass ensembles, and groups like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir orch helped fill the airwaves through special Christmas recordings — and inspired ensembles throughout the country to offer annual holiday concerts. Such performances are today one of the season’s most eagerly awaited traditions, filling concert halls from coast to coast with beloved music and the spirit of Christmas.

“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.

Serving the Community. Programs for students and engaging musical explorations for the community at large have long been part of the Orchestra’s 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. 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 for 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 — 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

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.

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.

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, Sever-

ance 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 CONCERTS

Holidays&Hallelujah!

H A N D E L’ S M E S S I A H was written in 1741 and premiered in

Dublin the day before Easter Sunday in the spring of 1742. It won acclaim and admiration right from the start, and soon became one of the best-known and most-played Christian oratorios.

Handel and his librettist collaborator, Charles Jennens, created the work in three parts, using Bible texts from both the New and Old Testament. The first part is the prophecy for and birth of Jesus. The second part tells of Christ’s sacrifice and death. And the third part is an ode to the promise of eternal life.

Over the centuries, performing traditions for Messiah have varied from the original small group of performers to presentations by mega-choirs of hundreds and reorchestrated instrumentation. The glory and majesty of the music has always managed to shine through — along with many of the more subtle and sensitive details that Handel created.

As we have in the past decade, this season’s Cleveland Orchestra presentation leans back to smaller forces, featuring the Cleveland Orchestra Chamber Chorus and an appropriately-sized orchestral ensemble. Renowned British conductor Jane Glover leads these performances just as the Christmas season is upon us. (And while many of us in the audience know these choruses by heart, let us resist the temptation to sing along — and leave that pleasure for another day.)

HANDEL

born February 23, 1685 Halle, Prussia died April 14, 1759 London

Severance Hall 2018-19

Handel wrote Messiah between August 22 and September 14, 1741.

The text was compiled by Charles Jennens from Bible verses. The first performance took place in Dublin, Ireland (at Neal’s new Music Hall in Fishamble Street), on April 13, 1742, the day before Easter Sunday.

For this week’s concert, The Cleveland Orchestra is using the Oxford University Press edition of Messiah edited by Clifford Bartlett.

The orchestra includes 2 oboes, bassoon, 2 trumpets, timpani, harpsichord, organ, and strings. This weekend’s performances feature

a relatively common selection (by Jane Glover) of numbers from the score; these choice differ in a few instances regarding arias or choruses included in the Second and Third parts compared with recent performances here in 2009 and 2015.

The Cleveland Orchestra has often presented excerpts from Messiah, especially at Christmas Concerts. The “entire” oratorio was first performed by the Orchestra in December 1965, led by Robert Shaw.

The most recent performances of the oratorio were in December 2015, under Robert Porco’s direction.

About the Music H A N D E L first came to London in 1710 and, with some brief re-

turns to his native Germany, remained there for the rest of his life. Otherwise, he scarcely ever left the capital, with the single exception of a long visit in 1841-42 to Dublin, which was then, like all of Ireland, within the British King’s domain. In Dublin, Handel was engaged to give a season of concerts in a new concert hall that had just been built, the Great Music Hall, which seated six hundred and survives today only in its white entrance arch. Although Messiah had been composed at great speed in London a few months before he left, he did not include it in this series, but performed three of his other oratorios, twice each. These initial concerts were a huge success, so he was persuaded to give a second series of six concerts.

But he still did not present Messiah, playing instead two of his oratorios twice each and one of his Italian operas (Imeneo) twice. Dublin audiences being now thoroughly familiar with his music and burning with enthusiasm to hear more, it was time to produce “Mr. Handel’s new Grand Oratorio call’d the Messiah.”

Like the great dramatist he was, and experienced in the art of handling popular acclaim, Handel seems to have kept his powder dry in holding his masterpiece back until it was guaranteed such thunderous applause as would still ring round the world About the Music

nearly three centuries later. The choirs of both of Dublin’s cathedrals were brought in as reinforcement.

Since that April day in Dublin in 1742, Messiah has never dropped out of sight and hearing. With this single work, Handel broke down the age-old assumption that music belongs to its own time and to its own time only. Gregorian chant was supposed to be eternal, but all the music that Bach and Vivaldi, for example, were expected to write was also expected to be replaced by the next generation of composers. Bach’s sons held their father in great respect, but were bound to compose in newer, more up-to-date styles.

In a new era, however, the Enlightenment had produced an antiquarian spirit that caused such men as Handel’s young friend Dr. Burney to research the music of previous centuries, so that it gradually became possible for music to outlive its creator. Taking an interest in medieval music or Monteverdi was, for the first time, rewarding to men with intellectual curiosity and a scientific turn of mind. Still, new music was much appreciated.

By performing Messiah on his return to London in 1742, and then reviving it in 1743, Handel encountered a stumbling block in the form of puritanical objections that the theater was the wrong place to perform such a sacred piece, and that the musical setting was in any case too theatrical and secular, blasphemous even. This undercurrent of resistance was overcome in 1750 when Handel gave a performance in the Foundling Hospital recently founded for the charitable care of orphans and needy children. This was such a success — and its motives were so charitable — that he repeated the performance every year until his death, in parallel with performances every year at Covent Garden theater. By the time he died in 1759, Handel had presided over thirty-six performances of Messiah, a far greater number than he could have expected when he composed it.

Performances continued in London and the provinces after his death, so the work inevitably took center stage in the huge Handel commemoration that took place in Westminster Abbey in 1784 (mistakenly thought to be the centennial of his birth), with massed forces of perhaps five hundred taking part.

After such an expansion, Messiah not only survives until today as a repertory work for choral societies, it has won the affection of the entire Christian world to a degree scarcely rivaled by any About the Music

other piece of music.

It was normal in the 18th century to adapt a work every time it was performed, since the right instrumentalists and especially singers were not always available. Star singers were accustomed to demanding (and getting) replacements for arias that they did not like or which did not suit their voice. Handel and his librettist Charles Jennens were also free to shift their opinion of how the work should go. With so many performances under his own direction, Handel left innumerable revisions and alternatives in the score of Messiah.

It was generally revised in the direction of expansion, so that what began, in his draft score, as a work requiring little more than strings and continuo as accompaniment, soon gained additional arias and alternative keys. It also became very long, so that modern performances almost invariably present only a selection from its fifty-odd movements.

In 1790, Mozart re-wrote the orchestration to adapt Messiah to Viennese conditions and taste, so it then included clarinets, and it was customary to add trombones and even percussion as late as the mid-20th century. Today, we witness a wide variety of approaches, made possible by Handel’s own compulsive tinkering — and by the recognition that in his grander movements such as the Hallelujah! Chorus and the Amen Chorus — Handel is ill-served by a mere Severance Hall 2018-19

handful of singers and players. In any case, the world’s larger choral societies are not going to yield up some of their favorite repertory to the high priests of “authentic” performance.

THE MUSIC

Handel’s librettist collaborator for Messiah, Charles Jennens.

It was not really necessary for Handel to call his new work a “Sacred” Oratorio, since most oratorios were settings of episodes in the Bible, usually the Old Testament. From Italian opera, of which Handel had proved himself the supreme master in the period 1710 to 1730, he took the aria as a separate number for a single voice, reflecting on the situation and the dilemma or tension it creates. In an oratorio, such an aria could also tackle a theological issue, but the A-B-A “da capo” form was still useful, with a contrasting B section before a return to the A section unchanged. There are four such arias in Messiah, including the affecting “He was despised” for alto (soloists today usually prefer the designation “mezzo-soprano”) early in Part II. Some arias dispense with the “B” section, as in the bass aria “The people that walked in darkness” in Part I, which also illustrates the principle of affekt. In this doctrine, the music makes a point of illustrating as closely as possible something in the text, here the wandering course of the benighted people. At other times it might be dying, or lamentation, or joy, and so on, that provides the clue.

A spectacular example is provided by the tenor aria in Part II “Thou shalt break them,” the culmination of a sequence from Psalm 2 where the psalmist rails against God’s enemies. The bass soloist furiously defies the kings and rulers who “take counsel together against the Lord,” prompting the chorus to break out in fury “Let us break their bonds asunder.” Then, with sadistic relish, the tenor concludes the sequence with “Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.” The image of rage and destruction is perfectly captured in Handel’s quivering, leaping violin line.

Like the three-act Italian operas of Handel’s day, oratorios were divided into three parts, and were expected to provide an entertainment of at least three hours’ length. (During the two intermissions, it was Handel’s habit to play an organ concerto or a concerto grosso, not to be listened to, but simply to amuse the audience as they moved about the theater talking with one another.)

In both opera and oratorio, the action of the story is told in recitative, with a speech-like delivery over sporadic chords. This About the Music

is often given to the tenor soloist. Since there is little narrative action in Messiah, the recitatives are short. The new element that most operas lacked was the chorus, who are not simple observers as in Greek tragedy, but participants in the action. The stories Handel chose for setting as oratorios — such as Israel in Egypt, Saul, Samson, Judas Maccabaeus, and others — allowed the chorus to represent the people, or individual groups or tribes, sometimes very vividly.

Messiah is different in this regard, since the chorus represents nameless and numberless subscribers to the Christian faith, and the action, such as it is, is picturesque rather than dramatic. With a text entirely drawn from the Bible, the words are prose, not the verse that was habitually provided for operas and even for biblical oratorios. The telling of the Christmas story, in Part I, requires the chorus to represent the “heaven’ly host” in “Glory to God,” but it involves no conflict. And many details of the story, such as Herod and the Massacre of the Innocents, are omitted.

In selecting passages from the Bible, Jennens and Handel preferred to stand back from the story with passages of prophecy or contemplation.

This is more pronounced as the work proceeds, with Part II reflecting on (rather than narrating) the Passion of Christ, and his Resurrection and Ascension, culminating in the great shout of Hallelujah.

About the Music

The Cleveland Orchestra

Part III begins with the beautiful aria “I know that my redeemer liveth” and goes on to reflect on the afterlife for us all: “Even so in Christ shall all be made alive.” The trumpet sounds the victory-call over death and we are called upon to “rejoice greatly” at God’s triumph over Original Sin. The solo voices do not represent persons in the story. In fact, Handel’s choice of four solo voices — soprano, alto, tenor, and bass — seems to have been a reflection of the four-part make-up of his chorus.

They each sing alone. (There is one duet, in Part III, titled “O death, where is thy sting,” which neatly reflects or juxtaposes the alternation of the phrases “O death” and “O grave” — but that duet was sometimes omitted during Handel’s lifetime and is not part of this weekend’s performances). Curiously, Handel’s habit of recycling his own (and sometimes other people’s) earlier music has made familiar vocal duets that he had first written many years earlier in Italy. These found their much more famous form in “And he shall purify” (Part I), “His yoke is easy” (end of Part I), and “All we like sheep” (Part II), each of which can be imagined as the alternating exchange of a duet and in which all four parts of the chorus have some spectacular tripping and running, which was normally the province of soloists. Taking part in movements such as these is part of what gives Messiah its eternal appeal to choral singers, who too rarely remember that they can rise to such virtuosity.

Later in the work the chorus has a more weighty role, as for example in the three choruses that run together in Part II: “Lift up your heads,” “The Lord gave the word,” and “Their sound is gone out.” When trumpets and drums join the chorus and the key moves to D major for “Glory to God” (Part I), Handel displays that festive brilliance which places him above all composers of his time, and indeed of any time. The same celebration marks the Hallelujah! Chorus at the end of Part II and the immense Amen that closes the work.

The orchestra is given two spots on its own. The “Sinfonia” that opens the work is a French-style overture in two parts, the first broad and jerky, the second a business-like fugue that leads immediately into the opening recitative. Later in Part I, there is a “Pifa,” often known as the “Pastoral Symphony,” a movement setting the scene for the shepherds abiding in the field. Such movements were usually scored for recorders or flutes, but Handel wrote for strings alone, over long-held bass notes, allowing for other instruments to be added if the occasion arose.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

Martin Luther King Jr. celebrated in music on January 20 and in afternoon open house on Monday, January 21 On Sunday, January 20, The Cleveland Orchestra performs its 39th annual concert celebrating the spirit of Dr. King’s life, leadership, and service in music and community recognition.

The performance will be conducted by Cleveland Orchestra assistant conductor Vinay Parameswaran, leading musical 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 tenor Lawrence Brownlee as soloist. Video and audio recording of Dr. King’s visits to Clevleand — as well as first-hand accounts of those who were present — will be featured as part of this year’s concert, in a multi-media component produced by Cleveland’s ideastream.

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 are being made available through a public ticket lottery — with entry open via the Orchestra’s website from December 12 through January 13. Winners will then drawn and 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).

Cleveland dO Orchestra h di digitizes ii its history to share online 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 access to its collection while reducing the handling of physical materials.

“We W 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.

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.”

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.”

Sing We Now of Christmas . . .

1 O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem; Come and behold Him born the King of angels; O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him, Christ, the Lord.

2 Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head; The stars in the sky look’d down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes, but little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes; I love thee, Lord Jesus!

Look down from the sky,, and stay by my cradle to watch lullabye.

3 The first Noel, the angel did say, was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; in fields where they lay keeping their sheep, on a cold winter’s night that was so deep.

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, born is the King of Israel.

4 Joy to the world! the Lord is come, let earth receive her King.

Let ev’ry heart prepare Him room, and heav’n and nature sing, and heav’n and nature sing, and heav’n and heav’n and nature sing.

He rules the world with truth and grace, and makes the nations prove the glories of His righteousness, and wonders of His love, and wonders of His love, and wonders, wonders of His love.

5 Hark, the herald angels sing: “Glory to the newborn King!

Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!”

Joyful, all ye nations rise, join the triumph of the skies: with the angelic host proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem!”

Hark! The herald angels sing: “Glory to the newborn King!”

Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace!

Hail the Son of righteousness!

Light and life to all He brings, Ris’n with healing in His wings: Mild He lays his glory by, Born that man no more may die; born to raise the sons of earth, born to give them second birth.

Hark, the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King.”

Christmas Concerts

Jamie Farr Television and film actor Jamie Farr is universally known for his portrayal of Klinger on the television sitcom M*A*S*H. Few realize that he was originally hired for just one day’s work during an early episode (“Chief Surgeon Who?”) of the hit comedy. He was so outrageously funny and perfect as Maxwell Q. Klinger, however, that the “day job” became an eleven-year career.

Born in Toledo, Ohio, Mr. Farr’s first acting success occurred at age eleven when he won $2 in a local acting contest. He subsequently attended the Pasadena Playhouse, where he won his first film role as Santini in the MGM production of The Blackboard Jungle. In the late 1950s, Mr. Farr began to carve his own niche in television, becoming a regular on The Red Skelton Show before graduating to second banana with Harvey Korman on The Danny Kaye Show. He also appeared on The Dick Van Dyke Show and was a regular on The Chicago Teddy Bears before being asked to play the role of Klinger on M*A*S*H. The Lebanese son of an Ohio grocer, Jamie Farr has been honored with his own “Star” on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Ohio Governor’s Award, and a park named after him in Toledo. He makes his Cleveland Orchestra debut as narrator in these Holiday Festival concerts.

The lotus blossom is the symbol of the Heritage Society.

It represents eternal life and recognizes the permanent benefits of legacy gifts to The Cleveland Orchestra’s endowment. Said to be Elisabeth Severance’s favorite flower, the lotus is found as a decorative motif in nearly every public area of Severance Hall.

For more information about becoming a member of the Heritage Society, please contact the Orchestra’s Legacy Giving Office by calling Dave Stokley at 216-231-8006.

LATE SEATING As a courtesy to the audience members and musicians in the hall, late-arriving patrons are asked to wait quietly until the first convenient break in the program, when ushers will help you to your seats. These seating breaks are at the discretion of the House Manager in consultation with the performing artists.

PAGERS, CELL PHONES, AND WRISTWATCH ALARMS 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.
