January 2019 Welcome to The Cleveland Orchestra’s 39th annual concert in celebration of the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We are pleased to once again collaborate with the City of Cleveland to present this event celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. King through classical, gospel, and spiritual music performed by The Cleveland Orchestra, the assembled community chorus, and guest artists. For this evening’s musical presentation, we have again partnered with Cleveland’s own ideastream/PBS to offer a special, multimedia concert, this year focusing on an important and historic speech that Dr. King gave in Cleveland in April 1967, combined together with live narration and music. At the start of the concert, The Cleveland Orchestra in cooperation with the City of Cleveland presents this year’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service Awards. These awards, now in their sixteenth year, are detailed on the following pages and recognize community service and leadership by organizations and individuals making a difference here in Northeast Ohio. We extend our grateful thanks to several partners who make this concert possible. In addition to the City of Cleveland and ideastream, we recognize our generous sponsor, KeyBank, along with special funding from the Paul M. Angell Family Foundation. Thanks to Cleveland radio station WCLV, this concert is being enjoyed by thousands across Northeast Ohio as they listen to the live radio broadcast on stations WCLV (104.9 FM) and WCPN (90.3 FM). Please join us on Monday, January 21, here at Severance Hall for our annual Martin Luther King Jr. Community Open House. This free community event from 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m. features a variety of free performances and activities. Complete details can be found at clevelandorchestra.com. We thank each of the performers for their participation in this special community day celebrating youth, diversity, and music. Thank you for joining us here this evening.

Dear Fellow Citizens:
I am pleased and proud to welcome you to Severance Hall for The Cleveland Orchestra’s annual musical tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The Cleveland Orchestra has brought Clevelanders together in a salute to Dr. King for the last 39 years to honor and remember this great American leader. This evening, our world-renowned Orchestra is led by assistant conductor Vinay Parameswaran and features world-renowned tenor Lawrence Brownlee along with the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Chorus led by choral conductor William Henry Caldwell, and with narration by Judge Patricia Ann Blackmon. I am also pleased to acknowledge the sixteenth anniversary of the MLK Jr. Community Service Awards, presented in cooperation with the City of Cleveland by The Cleveland Orchestra. Each year, these awards recognize members of our community who have positively impacted Cleveland in the spirit of the teachings and example of Dr. King. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed that people of all races would unite in harmony and triumph in the struggle for peace, justice, and equality for all of humanity. Through this concert, we celebrate Dr. King’s dream and recommit to the goal of making Cleveland a city where citizens live and work as one, with equality, respect, and justice for all. Enjoy the concert. Sincerely, Mayyor Frankk G. Jackson Ma Jackson Mayor

The Cleveland Orchestra
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 2019 Community Service Awards The Cleveland Orchestra and the City of Cleveland are pleased to announce the recipients of the these annual Service Awards, who are positively impacting Cleveland in the spirit of the teachings and example of Dr. King:
Positive Education Program — organization Kayla Thomas — youth Rev. Dr. E.T. Caviness — adult Award recipients demonstrate one or more of the following qualities: • • • • •
Promotion of social justice Promotion of diversity and inclusion Leadership in community building Advocacy for educational excellence Involvement with music and the arts to promote greater understanding and acceptance
ABOUT THE 2019 AWARD RECIPIENTS Since the founding of the Positive Education Program (PEP) in 1971, this nationally recognized program for at-risk children has not wavered from its singular purpose: to help troubled children learn and grow. Few tasks could be more demanding or daunting. PEP’s purpose has remained steadfast. Each year in our county, PEP utilizes the mental health skills of over 500 trained professionals to powerfully and positively impact the lives of over 2,500 children with very special needs. PEP offers programs in autism and programs for children suffering from the impact of violence on and in their lives. PEP is also a source of training for mental health professionals. PEP remains deeply committed to the principles of Re-Education; utilizes the Sanctuary Model to create safe, therapeutic environments; adheres to the highSeverance Hall 2018-19

est level of ethical standards and integrity within the organization and throughout the community; focuses on achieving clear and measurable outcomes; and instills in children, youth, and their families a sense of optimism, dignity, and hope for the future. For its positive impact on the lives of at-risk children in our community, The Cleveland Orchestra is proud to recognize the Positive Education Program as the 2019 recipient, in the business/organization category, of the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service Award.
A 2018 honors graduate and valedictorian of Cleveland School of the Arts, Kayla Thomas is now pursuing a BFA degree in dance at Fordham University in conjunction with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Kayla Thomas, in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, is a “drum major for Justice� carrying forward the cause of civil rights, inclusion, and equal opportunity. She seeks to do this, in part, by utilizing dance to inspire and motivate young people. For instance, recognizing the lack of diversity in the ballet industry, Kayla has promoted inclusion in ballet by teaching classes at Cleveland’s Ballet in the City and organizing performances locally. Indeed, Kayla believes we all can learn to speak a common language of freedom and opportunity by participating in the fine arts. But there is more. Kayla is a member of the National Honor Society, Phi Beta Kappa and Phi Theta Kappa Honor Societies. She is a volunteer with the United Black Fund, United Way, Cleveland Food Bank, and the Sisters of Charity Foundation of Cleveland. The way Kayla has choreographed her still young but very accomplished life thus far illustrates a character of enormous depth and consequence. For these reasons and in recognition of a young life of singular service to others, The Cleveland Orchestra is proud to recognize Kayla Thomas as the 2018 recipient, in the youth category, of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service Award.

Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service Awards
The Cleveland Orchestra
Across six decades, since 1961, Emmitt Theophilus Caviness has served as the Senior Pastor of the historic and dynamic Greater Abyssinia Baptist Church in Cleveland where he preaches a brand of social gospel that marries community activism with spirituality. Caviness has lived to see his long decades of civil rights work bear fruit, although he knows that there is more to accomplish before America reaches what his friend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. famously called the Promised Land. Dr. Caviness has been one of the great encouragers of young people to discover and add their voices to the great chorus of those seeking social justice in our city. Caviness, a believer in Dr. King’s dedication to non-violent protest, maintains that realizing the American dream is ensuring you’re part of the process. Rev. Caviness is also a great advocate of the performing arts and has enabled many gifted persons of color to share their talents with our city and our nation. In addition to his leadership of Greater Abyssinia Baptist Church and its many ministries in the Greater Glenville Community of Cleveland, Dr. Caviness has been, and continues to be, a significant leader in our city, state, and country. While this leadership has often been in the ongoing effort for civil rights, Dr. Caviness has also served on City Council, on the staff of former Mayor, the late George Voinovich, and was one of the instrumental tacticians and advisors in electing the late Carl Stokes as the first African-American mayor of a major American city — Cleveland, Ohio. Rev. Caviness has often been a sought-after voice of counsel and insight for presidents, congressmen, senators, governors, and other public officials. In recognition of his life of servant leadership, justice, love, and enduring service, The Cleveland Orchestra is proud to recognize the Rev. Dr. Emmitt Theophilus Caviness as the 2019 recipient, in the adult category, of the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service Award.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. —Martin Luther King Jr.

Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Let us march on till victory is won. Stony the road we trod, Bitter the chast’ning rod, Felt in the days when hope unborn had died; Yet with a steady beat, Have not our weary feet Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered, We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, Out from the gloomy past, Till now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who has brought us thus far on the way; Thou who has by Thy might, Led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee, Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee; Shadowed beneath Thy hand, May we forever stand. True to our God, True to our native land.

The Life of Martin Luther King Jr. by Vivien-Sue Penn and Donald McNeely The following biographical sketch is reprinted, with appreciation, from the New Jersey Education Association’s “NJEA Review” of January 1977. T H I S G E N E R A T I O N H A S little or no direct experience or

knowledge of the struggle for civil rights and human dignity in this country, or of the heroes who led the protest, nor the price they paid. In this age when we still see so much violence around us, it is necessary and proper to study the lives and works of men and women who achieved so much with nonviolent techniques. Martin Luther King Jr. was one of those persons. Michael Luther King was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on January 15, 1929, the son and grandson of Baptist ministers. He later changed his name to Martin Luther King. He was protected somewhat as a child because he was the son of “substantial” black parents. However, he, too, faced personal incidents in the South that smacked of discrimination and social injustice. In Atlanta, he attended Booker T. Washington High School. By the time he was 19, he had graduated as a special gifted student from Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, and then continued his ministerial education by obtaining a Bachelor of Divinity Degree at Crozer Theological Seminary. He was awarded a PhD from Boston University in 1955. While he was pursuing his education in Massachusetts, King met and married Coretta Scott from Alabama, who was studying voice at the New England Conservatory of Music. During those early formative years, he developed a fascination for the life and teachings of Mahatma Gandhi, who articulated a doctrine of passive resistance to gain freedom in India. While Martin Luther King was studying for his doctorate in 1954, he was offered and accepted the pastorate of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. In 1955, black people in Alabama were still sent to the rear of any public conveyance — segregated seating. The Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA) was organized in December 1955 to change that situation. King became MIA’s president and preached resistance with love — not hate — for the oppressors. During this period of change in Alabama, many

black people were arrested, physically attacked, and otherwise intimidated. Still their protest made its point. The United States Supreme Court finally ruled that existing Alabama laws regarding segregated seating were unconstitutional. Blacks and whites rode buses for the first time on a nonsegregated basis. The success of the venture taught civil rights advocates that there was power in good organization and strong leadership, which King provided. Martin Luther King was convinced that his leadership strength lay in its nonviolent approach and proceeded to follow his own dictates by organizing the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) in January 1957 to widen the effects of his Montgomery success. King moved his family to Atlanta in 1959, where he joined forces with his father, who was the minister associated with the Ebenezer Baptist Church. King’s life was anything but nonviolent. He was frequently arrested, jailed, and physically bruised. Fire hoses and attack dogs became a way of life for this fighter of social injustice. His life was one long thread of demonstrations on buses and other public conveyances, in restaurants, hotels, department stores and other places that needed to be desegregated. Massive demonstrations took the form of freedom marches in

Alabama and Washington. These challenged people of all faiths, races and religions to join the fight for freedom for all Americans. From all over the nation people joined together in support of the civil rights movement. King’s speeches were impassioned and concerned his personal and his race’s fight against prejudice. They often referred to his philosophy of nonviolence, containing the “I have a dream” appeal first introduced at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., during the 1963 March on Washington. In 1964, Martin Luther King, at the age of 35, became the youngest man to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Four years later he was struck down while supporting a sanitation worker strike in Memphis, Tennessee. While standing on a motel balcony, on April 4, 1968, he was shot by an assassin.

The Cleveland Orchestra
The Cleveland Orchestra celebrates the dreams of Martin Luther King Jr. by Carol Jacobs T H E C L E V E L A N D O R C H E S T R A demonstrated early its commitment to honoring this country’s greatest civil rights leader. Four days after the April 4, 1968, assassination of Martin Luther King, The Cleveland Orchestra under George Szell performed the “Allegretto” movement from Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 as a memorial tribute to the life of Dr. King. Toward the end of the next decade, The Cleveland Orchestra played a key role in the evolution of a more formal and institutionalized recognition of Dr. King’s life. The Orchestra’s first Martin Luther King Jr. Concert took place in January 1980. In the program book of that first concert, Dr. Donald G. Jacobs, executive director of the Greater Cleveland Interchurch Council, applauded The Cleveland Orchestra “for taking seriously the need for the whole community to recognize the vital role the life and death of Dr. King continues to play in the struggle for racial justice and human dignity.” The Martin Luther King Jr. Concert quickly became an annual event both as a tribute to Dr. King and as an expression of commitment to the struggle for racial justice and human dignity. From 1980 to 1986, The Cleveland Orchestra and the Interchurch Council collaborated in presenting these Severance Hall concerts. In January 1986, the Jewish Community Federation and the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland joined the Interchurch Council and the Musical Arts Association in sponsoring the event. That same year, the federal government officially designated the third Monday in January as a public holiday celebrating the life and work of Dr. King. In 1986, the City of Cleveland became directly involved in presenting these concerts at the request of Cleveland City Council President George Forbes and Mayor George Voinovich. From 1987 to 1997, the annual King concert took place at Cory United Methodist Church, the site of Dr. King’s last speech in Cleveland. The concert was held at Severance Hall in 1998 and again in 2000 as part of the re-opening festivities following the Hall’s restoration. Severance Hall has continued to host the concert since then. Many distinguished performing artists have participated in these concerts, including Andrew Davis, Christoph von Dohnányi, Leslie Dunner, Raymond Harvey, Isaiah Jackson, Kay George Roberts, André Raphel Smith, Thomas Wilkins, Florence Quivar, Daisy Newman, Cissy Houston, Janet Alcorn, Barbara Conrad, John Cheek, Natalie Hinderas, William Warfield, Leon Bibb, and John

Fleming. Music Director Franz Welser-Möst first conducted the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Concert in 2003, and also conducted it in 2004, 2006, 2009, and 2018. Beginning with the 1989 concert, volunteers from the greater Cleveland area were organized by Alvin Parris into a Community Gospel Choir, now called the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Chorus. In the past decade, William Henry Caldwell has taken on the role of chorus director. Other choral participants have included the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus, Prestonian Choral Ensemble, Morgan State University Choir, Shaw High School Concert Choir, Everett Moore Singers, and the Central State University Chorus. An important facet of these programs has been the presentation of contemporary American works, including those of Donald Erb, William Grant Still, Ulysses Kay, Carman Moore, Alvin Parris, Joseph Schwantner, Hale Smith, Undine Smith Moore, George Walker, and Lanny Wolfe. The singing of “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” with audience participation, has been a tradition since the 1984 concert. Carol Jacobs served as Archivist for The Cleveland Orchestra from 1990 to 2007.

The 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. PHOTO BY ROGER MASTROIANNI

Recent seasons have seen the launch of a unique series of neighborhood initiatives and performances, designed to bring the Orchestra and the citizens of Northeast Ohio together in new ways. Active performance ensembles and teaching 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, 193343; Erich Leinsdorf, 1943-46; George Szell, 1946-70; Lorin Maazel, 1972-82; Christoph von Dohnányi, 1984-2002; and Franz Welser-Möst, 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.

“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.

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.

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 President & CEO, “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 Chair. “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 its history to share with public 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 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.

I.N M.E .M.O.R.I. A .M The Cleveland Orchestra notes the death of former principal percussionist Richard Weiner, on December 30, 2018, at the age of 82, and extends condolences to his family and friends. Mr. Weiner received The Cleveland Orchestra’s Distinguished Service Award in 2011, the year he retired, after serving for forty-eight years as a percussionist in the Orchestra — and forty-three years as the section’s leader, holding the title Principal Percussion for longer than any player in the Orchestra’s history. Mr. Weiner participated in more than a hundred world or United States premieres with The Cleveland Orchestra. On tour with the Orchestra, he performed in 44 countries, and played on more than a hundred recordings. He served with passion and interest on many Cleveland Orchestra committees, including the Negotiation Committee, which he chaired for many years, and on the Severance Hall Renovation Committee (1997-2000).

A native of Philadelphia, Rich Weiner was the first percussionist to be awarded a performer’s certificate from Indiana University, where he earned a master of music degree. Later in life he also earned a Juris Doctor degree from Cleveland State University. At the time of his death, Mr. Weiner was a faculty member at the Cleveland Institute of Music, where he taught and influenced generations of young musicians for fifty-five years and had chaired the timpani and percussion department for more than four decades. “Richard Weiner was a role model to all of us during our school days in Cleveland,” said Robert van Sice, chair of percussion studies at Yale University. “He was a man who played the way he lived — with tons of class.”

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, President & CEO. “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.”
