The Cleveland Orchestra

Welcome from the Executive Director December 2014 The Cleveland Orchestra’s holiday season is brimming with joy and music offerings of all kinds, from the magic and beauty of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker in November at PlayhouseSquare . . . to holiday music with the Vienna Boys Choir and Natalie MacMaster . . . to the festive collection of Christmas Concerts here at Severance Hall that have become a holiday tradition for generations of listeners across our community. We are delighted that you are celebrating the holidays with us during this busy and exciting time of year, to continue the tradition — and perhaps to make a new one of your own. ’Tis the season for giving thanks. And Franz Welser-Möst and I and the entire Cleveland Orchestra family are very grateful to you and to everyone who experiences the joy of the Orchestra’s music-making. Students singing together in the Youth Chorus, or playing together in the Youth Orchestra. Families on the Lawn at a Blossom concert, or joined here together for the holidays. Neighbors and friends, enjoying free performances during the Orchestra’s annual “At Home” neighborhood residency. Elementary school children who visit Severance Hall and have the remarkable experience of hearing our world-class orch­estra for their first taste of symphonic music. Young people who, through generous funding, are able to experience The Cleveland Orchestra through deep discounts, or for free with their families. Loyal subscribers who wouldn’t miss a concert. New listeners, dazzled by the beauty of this Concert Hall and the magnificence of the musicianship onstage — whether the Orchestra is accompanying “O Come, All Ye Faithful” or playing music by Beethoven, Brahms, and Berlioz.

Franz and I are deeply appreciative of the many ways that the Orch­estra musicians, staff, and board work together to create unforgettable musical experiences for you. In a very real way, each and every day, we are most thankful for our many supporters: Foundations, who provide funding for innovation.

Corporations, who sponsor our concert presentations. Individuals, who donate to The Cleveland Orchestra at a rate higher than at any other major orchestra in the country. I’m proud to say that our supporters are the most loyal group anywhere. Yet I know that we can’t afford to be satisfied with our achievements. We must continue to serve Northeast Ohio to the utmost. We continue our efforts to offer more kinds of concerts and to perform more music for more people than ever before.

We rely on you and your generosity to keep our organization moving forward at the very highest levels of excellence and service. As you reflect on what you are grateful for in your own life, I hope you will recall the special memories you associate with The Cleveland Orchestra, Severance Hall, and Blossom, and that you will honor those lasting memories with a year-end gift to the Orchestra. We greatly appreciate all that you do.

With all best wishes for a joyous holiday season,

2014 Holiday Festival

The Music of Christmas

remind us more quickly of the Christmas season than the sound of a favorite carol, song, or piece 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 1816, and “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear” in 1850.

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, Vince Gill, and others.

Throughout the 19th century, a renewed interest in (and commercialization of) Christmas saw the growth of many traditions — including the introduction of the Christmas tree (brought to England by Prince Albert in 1834 from his native Germany), the manufacturing of many new kinds of seasonal decorations, the writing of many new Christmas stories (including the publication of “The Night Before Christmas” in 1823 and Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol in 1843), and 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 Robert Shaw helped popularize new songs and new arrangements, while major orchestras, new brass ensembles, and groups like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir 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.

Disney Fantasia — Live in Concert

15

About Fantasia In this age of 3D, HD, widescreen, 7.1 surround sound — and that’s just in your living room! — it can be hard to fathom how revolutionary Fantasia was upon its theatrical release in 1940. Neither symphony hall concertgoers nor families headed to the movies to catch the latest Disney cartoon were prepared for the breadth and depth of color and sound that poured forth from the screen. Walt Disney (1901-1966) and conductor Leopold Stokowski (1882-1977) — in collaboration with the talents of 1,000-plus artists, musicians, and engineers at the Walt Disney Studio, alongside the RCA Corporation, dozens of dancers (including Marge Champion and members of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo and Ballet Theatre), and the entire Philadelphia Orchestra — created a watershed cinematic experience that remains a visionary milestone to this day. Sadly, the expense of installing the Fantasound audio playback system in theaters, and the loss of the European market during World War II, nixed Walt’s dream of an ongoing evolution of updating, wherein individual film segments would be replaced by new ones. Though the Walt Disney Studio would utilize popular songs in several package fi lms of the 1940s and ’50s, it would not be until 1999 and the release of Fantasia 2000, spearheaded by Walt’s nephew, Roy E. Disney, that a Disney-produced feature-length marriage of classical music and animation would once again reach the screen.

Robert Porco

Director of Choruses Frances P. and Chester C. Bolton Endowed Chair The Cleveland Orchestra

Robert Porco became director of choruses for The Cleveland Orchestra in 1998. In addition to overseeing choral activities and preparing the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus and the Blossom Festival Chorus for a variety of concert programs each season, Mr. Porco conducts the Orchestra’s annual series of Christmas concerts at Severance Hall and regularly conducts subscription concert programs, both at Severance Hall and Blossom. In recent seasons, he has led performances of Handel’s Messiah, Vaughan Williams’s A Sea Symphony, Verdi’s Requiem, and evenings of Broadway and American favorites at Blossom.

Highlights of Mr. Porco’s Cleveland tenure have included preparing the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus for a wide variety of performances and repertoire, including performances of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 conducted by Franz Welser-Möst in January 2007, released as a Deutsche Grammophon recording. He has prepared the Chorus for touring appearances with the Orchestra, including the recent 2013 European Tour, and performances at the Edinburgh International Festival, Lucerne Festival, London Proms, and Carnegie Hall, as well as for the series of operas at Severance Hall under Welser-Möst’s direction.

In 2011, Mr. Porco was honored by Chorus America with its annual Michael Korn Founders Award for a lifetime of significant contributions to the professional choral art. His activities and achievements across four decades of work have included preparing choruses for such prominent conductors as Pierre Boulez, James Conlon, Christoph von Dohnányi, Raymond Leppard, James Levine, Jesús LópezCobos, Zubin Mehta, André Previn, Kurt Sanderling, Robert Shaw, and Franz Welser-Möst, among others. As a guest conductor, Mr. Porco has led performances across North America, and in Europe and Asia, with appearances from Edinburgh to Lucerne, Reykjavik to Taipei, and from Chicago’s Grant Park Festival to the Cincinnati May Festival, where he has served as director of choruses since 1989.

Ohio native Robert Porco served as chairman of the choral department at Indiana University 1980-98, and in recent years taught doctoral-level conducting at the school. Highlights of his work at Indiana University have included a special performance by 250 students of Leonard Bernstein’s Mass as part of the Tanglewood Music Festival’s celebration of the composer’s 70th birthday.

Building Audiences for the Future . . . Today!

The Cleveland Orchestra is committed to developing interest in classical music among young people. To demonstrate our success, we are working to have the youngest audience of any orchestra. With the help of generous contributors, the Orch­estra has expanded its discounted ticket offerings through several new programs. In recent years, student attendance has doubled, now representing 20% of those at Cleveland Orchestra concerts. Since inaugurating these programs in 2011, over 120,000 young people have participated.

Und e r 1 8 s F REE F O R FA M ILIE S

Introduced for Blossom Music Festival concerts in 2011, our Under 18s Free program for families now includes select Cleveland Orchestra concerts at Severance Hall each season. This program offers free tickets (one per regular-priced adult paid admission) to young people ages 7-17 on the Lawn at Blossom and to the Orchestra’s Fridays@7, Friday Morning at 11, and Sunday Afternoon at 3 concerts at Severance.

S T U D E N T T I C K E T PR O GRA M S

In the past two seasons, The Cleveland Orchestra’s Student Advantage Members, Frequent Fan Card holders, Student Ambassadors, and special offers for student groups attending together have been responsible for bringing more high school and college age students to Severance Hall and Blossom than ever before.

The Orchestra’s ongoing Student Advantage Program provides opportunities for students to attend concerts at Severance Hall and Blossom through discounted ticket offers. Membership is free to join and rewards members with discounted ticket purchases. A record 6,000 students joined in the past year. A new Student Frequent Fan Card is available in conjunction with Student Advantage membership, offering unlimited single tickets (one per Fan Card holder) all season long.

All of these programs are supported by The Cleveland Orchestra’s Center for Future Audiences and the Alexander and Sarah Cutler Fund for Student Audiences.

The Center for Future Audiences was created with a $20 million lead endowment gift from the Maltz Family Foundation to develop new generations of audiences for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio.

Volunteer Opportunities The Cleveland Orchestra salutes all the hard-working and dedicated volunteers who provide extraordinary service and support.

The Cleveland Orchestra has been supported by large numbers of dedicated volunteers since its founding in 1918. Opportunities for volunteering include membership in a variety of organizations and performing groups, and involvement with education, fundraising, and other projects.

The Orchestra’s Volunteer Council was established in 1998 to reinforce the impact that volunteers have on the mission of the Orchestra.

Two standing volunteer committees provide important support each year.

The Women’s Committee of The Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1921 to support the Orchestra’s educational activities. Now open to men as well as women, the Women’s Committee continues its support of the Orchestra through music education, service, and fundraising.

The Blossom Women’s Committee, established in 1968, is a state-wide organization that assists in promoting and sustaining each summer’s Blossom Music Festival.

Natalie MacMaster Award-winning Cape Breton musician Natalie MacMaster began her fiddling career at the age of 16 with her debut album Four on the Floor. Her musical venture now spans over three decades and 11 albums, having performed thousands of shows and collaborating with many world-renowned artists. Her most recent album, Cape Breton Girl, has been self-described as a “straight-ahead, traditional record.” The album is filled with invigorating jigs, reels, and strathspeys that embody her most-cherished values — including her family and home, tradition, and faith.

Natalie’s family and work-life have been intertwined since marrying fellow fiddler Donnell Leahy in 2002. She believes incorporating family into her performances whenever possible, and music is the perfect way to maintain a healthy work-life balance.

MacMaster and Leahy now have five children, the newest addition being born August 2012. She admits that becoming a mother has reinvigorated her love for the stage by giving her a chance to transform from Natalie-the-Mom into Natalie MacMaster-the-Entertainer.

Over three decades of performing, MacMaster’s audiences are still left clapping, hollering, and screaming for more as she wows them with stylistic diversity, all within a traditional Cape Breton groove. The applause only increases when she incorporates step dancing into her performance. Nevertheless, it’s the elegance with the bow, the intricate technique with the fiddle, and the embrace of the Cape Breton tradition that fully satisfies admirers in over 100 shows a year.

The dedicated work ethic Natalie has shown throughout her career has garnered her well-deserved recognition throughout the industry. In turn, this has given her multiple gold albums and awards from all across North America, as well as several honorary doctorates. She has also received the Arts & Letters Award from the Canadian Association of New York and the honor of being a member of the Order of Canada.

Recently, Natalie’s talents have expanded to include co-writing and publishing a picturesque 160-page coffee table book, Natalie MacMaster’s Cape Breton Aire — with Pulitzer Prize-winning wordsmith Eileen McNamara and featuring Boston-based Eric Roth’s breathtaking photography.

With her Cape Breton roots, dedication to her craft, and love for family, Natalie is a musical force with a long and successful career in music. She will doubtless continue to warm the hearts of fans for years to come.

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, 1921-1936) 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.

spirit of the season — Snow and a big wreath hanging on the front of Severance Hall are unmistakable signs of the holiday season. 2014 is the forty-sixth year that the large wreath has graced the front portico, welcoming audiences each December for special musical programs to celebrate the Christmas season.

of its founding in 2018, The Cleveland Orch­ estra is undergoing a new transformation and renaissance. Universally-acknow­ ledged among the best ensembles on the planet, its musicians, staff, board of directors, volunteers, and hometown are working together on a set of enhanced goals for the 21st century — to develop the youngest audience of any orchestra, to renew its focus on fully serving the communities where it performs through engagement and education, to continue its legendary command of musical excellence, and to move forward into the Orchestra’s next century with a strong commitment to adventuresome programming and new music.

The Cleveland Orchestra divides its time each year 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 to a series of innovative and intensive performance residencies. These include an annual set of concerts and education programs and partnerships in Florida, and recurring residencies at Vienna’s Musikverein, Switzerland’s Lucerne Festival, and New York’s Lincoln Center Festival.

Musical Excellence. Under the leadership of Franz Welser-Möst, now in his thirteenth season as the ensemble’s music director in 2014-15, The Cleveland Orchestra is acknowledged as among the world’s handful of best orchestras. Its performances of standard repertoire and new works are unrivalled at home in Ohio, in residencies around the globe, on tour across North America and Europe, and a s i t n e a r s t h e c e nt e nn i a l

through re recordings, telecasts, and radio and internet broadcasts.

Serving the Community. Programs for students and community engagement activities have long been part of the Orchestra’s commitment to serving Cleveland and surrounding communities, and have more recently been extended to its touring and residencies. All are designed to connect people to music in the concert hall, in classrooms, and in everyday lives. Championed by Welser-Möst, a new Make Music! initiative is taking shape, to advocate for the benefits of direct participation in making music for people of all ages.

Future Audiences. Standing on the shoulders of ninety years 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, and was recently extended to the Orchestra’s concerts in Miami.

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 Each year since 1989, The Cleveland Orchestra has presented a free concert in downin a variety of formats for a variety of audiences — town Cleveland. The 25th free performance including a popular Fridays@7 series (mixing onstage downtown took place on July 2, 2014, in symphonic works with post-concert world music perpartnership with Cuyahoga Arts & Culture, formances), film scores performed live by the Orcheskicking off celebrations throughout the tra, collaborations with pop and jazz singers, ballet and region of America’s 238th birthday. opera presentations, and standard repertoire juxtaposed in meaningful contexts with new and older works.

Origins and Evolution. The Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918 by a group of local citizens intent on creating an ensemble worthy of joining America’s top rank of symphony orchestras. Seven music directors of increasing international reputation have guided and shaped the ensemble’s growth and sound: Nikolai Sokoloff, 1918-1933; Artur Rodzinski, 1933-1943; Erich Leinsdorf, 1943-1946; George Szell, 19461970; Lorin Maazel, 1972-1982; Christoph von Dohnányi, 1984-2002; and Franz WelserMöst, since 2002.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA Tugan Sokhiev, conductor Vadim Gluzman, violin

Tchaikovsky’s music is often considered the most Romantic of any composer. His Fifth Symphony has been an audience favorite since its premiere in 1888 — acclaimed for its soaring melodies, and memorably passionate music.

Popular Culture Note: the second movement has inspired several songs, including “Moon Love” recorded by Glenn Miller and Chet Baker, and John Denver’s “Annie’s Song.”

VERTIGO

Friday February 13 at 8:00 p.m.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA Brett Mitchell, conductor

The collaboration betwen director Alfred Hitchcock and composer Bernard Herrmann created a series of unforgetable films. And Vertigo — with its rich, seductive and complex musical score — is perhaps the greatest achievement of this legendary partnership.

In the film’s opening scene, police detective John “Scottie” Ferguson (James Stewart) is afflicted with vertigo during a rooftop chase that results in the death of a fellow officer.

An old college chum hires Scottie as a private investigator to follow his wife, Madeleine (Kim Novak). Scottie becomes increasingly enamored of the woman he is following — and observations turn to obsession.
