BENJAMIN BRITTEN COMMEMORATION During the 2013-14 season, The Cleveland Orchestra will mark the 100th anniversary commemoration of Benjamin Britten’s birth. Born November 22, 1913, Britten is one of the most celebrated and most performed British composers. In March 2014, Franz Welser-Möst conducts Britten’s Spring Symphony, a large work with soloists and chorus that Britten described as “a symphony not only dealing with the Spring itself but with the progress of Winter to Spring and the reawakening of the earth and life which that means.” In October 2013, Marek Janowski leads performances of Britten’s Serenade for Tenor, Horn, and Strings with soloists Matthew Polenzani and Cleveland Orchestra principal horn Richard King. The Serenade is a song cycle about night, sleep, and death, with texts by six British poets. And in May 2014, Janine Jansen performs Britten’s Violin Concerto under the direction of Vladimir Jurowski.
