December 2013

Generations of listeners from our community have cele brated the holidays with The Cleveland Orchestra. We are delighted that you are joining 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 experi-ences 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 Music Festival concert, or joined here together for the holidays. Neigh-bors and friends, taking in the surprise and pleasure of the Orchestra’s fi rst “At Home” residency at Gordon Square last May. Elementary school children who visit Severance Hall and have the remarkable experience of hearing our world-class orchestra for their fi rst taste of a symphony orchestra. 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 magni-fi cence of the musicianship onstage — whether the Orchestra is playing music by Barber, Brahms, and Beethoven, or accompanying “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” Natalie Cole, or the on-screen antics of Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone.

Franz and I are deeply appreciative of the many ways that the Orch estra musi-cians, staff, and board work together to create unforgettable musical experiences for you. Many of you let us know how meaningful the Orchestra’s performances are to you — whether here at Severance Hall, at Blossom or Public Square, on the radio or internet, or in the many other ways and forums through which The Cleveland Orchestra is involved across Northeast Ohio.

In a very real way, each and every day, we are most thankful for our many sup-porters: 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 satisfi ed 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 refl ect on what you are grateful for in your own life, I hope you will recall the special memories you associ-ate 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,

10 The Cleveland OrchestraThe Music of Christmas

The Music of ChristmasF 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 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.

Th e rituals of baking, shopping, and hanging decorations are amplifi ed with

the simple pleasure of listening to some of the beautiful music inspired by this

December holiday.

While music specifi cally 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 Magnifi cat (1723) and Christmas Oratorio (1734) to

Handel’s Messiah (1741), from Berlioz’s L’Enfance du Christ (“Th e 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.

Th roughout the 19th century, a renewed interest in (and commercial-

ization 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 “Th e 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 off erings 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 Mor-

mon Tabernacle Choir helped fi ll the airwaves through special Christmas

recordings — and inspired ensembles throughout the country to off er annual

holiday concerts. Such performances are today one of the season’s most ea-

gerly awaited traditions, fi lling concert halls from coast to coast with beloved

music and the spirit of Christmas.

PreConcertMusic As part of The Cleveland Orches-tra’s Make Music! initiative, we have invited talented musicians from several Cleveland neighborhoods to make music at Severance Hall prior to each 2013 Orchestra Christmas Concert. These ensembles hail from Collinwood, Gordon Square, Kamm’s Corners, and St. Clair /Superior — and highlight the extraordi-nary musical talent that exists through-out the Cleveland community. In ad-dition, chamber groups from our own Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra and Youth Chorus — whose students repre-sent more than 40 communities in North-east Ohio — round out the pre-concert entertainment offerings. Our heartfelt thanks to these groups for making music for all of us this holiday season.

172013 Holiday Festival Natalie Cole

Natalie ColeMultiple Grammy-winning recording artist Natalie Cole

was just eight years old when her father, legendary croon-

er Nat King Cole, recorded his fi rst album in Spanish,

scoring an unexpected international smash in 1958. Her

father’s foreign-language success was a culturally captivat-

ing experience for Natalie, who got to travel outside the

country for the fi rst time with her famous father. Th ere

she witnessed fi rst-hand the adulation and esteem that

Latin America showed for the King, a pioneering African-

American superstar. Now, decades later, the accomplished

R&B and jazz vocalist breaks new ground of her own with

her fi rst Spanish-language album, Natalie Cole En Español, released earlier this

year on Verve/Universal and recently nominated for three Latin Grammy Awards.

In this, her fi rst new studio album in fi ve years, Natalie revisits the rich repertoire

of ageless Latin standards that once opened new vistas for her father. “Th is album

is not so much a tribute to my father as it is to Latin music,” she says.

Th e road to making this new record, however, was far from easy. Natalie,

like her father, had many obstacles to overcome. Nat King Cole was a trail-

blazer. He went from playing LA beer joints for $5 per night to scoring chart-

topping hits (including “Ramblin’ Rose” and “Mona Lisa”) that put him on a par

with superstar peers such as Frank Sinatra. But Cole did not survive to see his

daughter follow in his footsteps with her own solo career; he died of cancer in

1965 at age 45. Ten years later, Natalie won the fi rst of her nine career Grammy

Awards as Best New Artist of 1975, the year she debuted with the hit “Th is Will

Be.” In 1991, her tribute album, Unforgettable . . . With Love, won Album of the

Year and marked a mid-career comeback. Th e album, featuring the “Unforget-

table” duet with her father, spent fi ve weeks at No. 1 on the pop charts, earned

six Grammy Awards, and sold more than 14 million copies worldwide. In 1996,

she released a follow-up album of American standards, Stardust, which featured

another duet with her father on “When I Fall in Love.” Th e album went plati-

num and won another Grammy for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals. Cole

took home her ninth career Grammy Award for 2008’s Still Unforgettable, which

won for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.

In 2010, Cole released a second memoir titled Love Brought Me Back, the

heart-wrenching chronicle of her quest for a kidney transplant. Today, Natalie

Cole serves as spokesperson for the University Kidney Research Organization,

a nonprofi t organization supporting medical research related to the prevention,

treatment, and eradication of all forms of kidney disease.

recent seasons, he has led performances of Handel’s Messiah,

Vaughan Williams’s A Sea Symphony, Verdi’s Requiem, and eve-

nings of Broadway and American favorites at Blossom.

Highlights of Mr. Porco’s Cleveland tenure have included preparing the Cleve-

land Orchestra Chorus for a wide variety of performances and repertoire, includ-

ing 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 Sev-

erance 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 signifi cant contributions to the professional

choral art. His activities and achievements across four decades of work have in-

cluded preparing choruses for such prominent conductors as Pierre Boulez, James

Conlon, Christoph von Dohnányi, Raymond Leppard, James Levine, Jesús López-

Cobos, 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 Cin-

cinnati May Festival, where he has served as director of choruses since 1989.

Ohio native Robert Porco served as chairman of the choral department at In-

diana 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 perfor-

mance by 250 students of Leonard Bernstein’s Mass as part of the Tanglewood Mu-

sic Festival’s celebration of the composer’s 70th birthday.

As teacher and mentor, Mr. Porco has guided and infl uenced the development

of hundreds of musicians, many of whom are now active as professional conduc-

tors, singers, or teachers. As a sought-aft er guest instructor and coach, his teach-

ing work has included programs at Harvard University, Westminster Choir College,

and the University of Miami Frost School of Music.

God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen

1. God rest ye merry, gentlemen,

Let nothing you dismay,

For Jesus Christ our Saviour

Was born upon this day,

To save us all from Satan’s power

When we were gone astray: O tidings of comfort and joy.

3. Now to the Lord sing praises,

All you within this place,

And with true love and brotherhood

Each other now embrace;

Th is holy tide of Christmas

All others doth deface: O tidings of comfort and joy. oy.

Concerts with this symbol are eligible for "Under 18s Free" ticketing. The Cleveland Orchestra is committed to developing the youngest audience of any orchestra in the United States. Our "Under 18s Free" program off ers free tickets for young people attending with their families (one per paid adult admission).

Student attendance continuesto grow at Severance Hall

As Th e Cleveland Orchestra’s 2013-14 season has gotten underway, more Student

Advantage Members, Frequent Fan Card holders, Student Ambassadors, and

student groups are contributing to the continued success of these programs.

Th e Orchestra’s ongoing Student Advantage Program provides opportu-

nities for students to attend concerts at Severance Hall and Blossom through

discounted ticket off ers. Membership is free to join and rewards members

with discounted ticket purchases. For this season, a record 6,000 students

have joined.

Th e Student Frequent Fan Card was introduced a year ago with great

success. Th e program is continuing to grow, with the number of Frequent

Fan Card holders tripling so far this season over 2012-13. Priced at $50, the

Fan Card off ers students unlimited single tickets (one ticket per card holder) to

weekly classical subscription concerts all season long.

Th e Student Ambassador program is also growing. Th ese young volun-

teers help to promote the Orchestra’s concert off erings and student programs

directly on campuses across Northeast Ohio.

Also this year, a group of Student Marketing Advisors was formed to help

the Orchestra incorporate student feedback and insight to programs, and give

local marketing majors a chance to work closely with the Orchestra’s sales team.

In addition, attendance through Student Group sales are also bringing

in more and more young people to Cleveland Orchestra concerts. From as far

as Toronto and Nashville, these groups make up an integral part of the overall

success toward generating participation and interest among young people.

All of these programs are supported by Th e Cleveland Orchestra’s Center

for Future Audiences, through the Alexander and Sarah Cutler Fund for Stu-

dent Audiences. Th e Center for Future Audiences was created with a $20 mil-

lion lead endowment gift from the Maltz Family Foundation to develop new

generations of audiences for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio.

FROM THE COMPOSER

Ever since Home Alone appeared, it has held a unique place in the

aff ections of a very broad public. Director Chris Columbus brought a

uniquely fresh and innocent approach to this delightful story, and the fi lm

has deservedly become a perennial at Holiday time.

I took great pleasure in composing the score for the fi lm, and I am

especially delighted that the magnifi cent Cleveland Orchestra has agreed to

perform the music in a live presentation of the movie.

I know I speak for everyone connected with the making of the fi lm in

saying that we are greatly honored by this event . . . and I hope that tonight’s

audience will experience the renewal of joy that the fi lm brings with it, each

and every year.

John WilliamsIn a career spanning fi ve decades, John Williams has

become one of America’s most accomplished and suc-

cessful composers for fi lm and for the concert stage,

hundred fi lms, including all six Star Wars fi lms, the

fi rst three Harry Potter fi lms, Superman, JFK, Born on

Tourist, and Home Alone.

His forty-year artistic partnership with direc-

tor Steven Spielberg has resulted in many of Holly-

wood’s most acclaimed and successful fi lms, including

Schindler’s List, E.T. Th e Extra-Terrestrial, Jaws, Jurassic Park, Close Encounters

of the Th ird Kind, the Indiana Jones fi lms, Munich, Saving Private Ryan, Th e Ad-

ventures of Tintin, War Horse, and Lincoln. His contributions to television music

include scores for more than 200 television fi lms for the groundbreaking anthol-

ogy series Alcoa Th eatre, Kraft Television Th eatre, Chrysler Th eatre, and Play-

house 90, as well as themes for NBC Nightly News, NBC’s Meet the Press, and the

PBS arts showcase Great Performances. He also composed themes for the 1984,

1988, and 1996 Summer Olympic Games, and the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.

He has received fi ve Academy Awards and forty-eight Oscar nominations,

making him the Academy’s most-nominated living person and the second-most

nominated person in the history of the Oscars. He has received twenty-one

Grammys, four Golden Globes, fi ve Emmys, and many gold and platinum re-

cords. In 2003, he received the Olympic Order (the IOC’s highest honor) for his

David NewmanDavid Newman is one of today’s most accomplished

creators of music for fi lm. In his 25-year career, he

has scored over 100 fi lms, ranging from War of the

Roses, Matilda, Bowfi nger, and Heathers to the more

recent Th e Spirit and Serenity. Newman’s music has

brought to life the critically acclaimed dramas Broke-

down Palace and Hoff a; top-grossing comedies Norbit,

Scooby-Doo, Galaxy Quest, Th e Nutty Professor, Th e

Flintstones, Th row Mama from the Train; and award-

winning animated fi lms Ice Age, Th e Brave Little Toaster, and Anastasia. Th e re-

cipient of top honors from the music and motion picture industries, he holds an

Academy Award nomination for his score to the animated feature Anastasia.

As a conductor, Mr. Newman appears with leading orchestras throughout

the world, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony Or-

chestra, New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic

Orchestra, National Orchestra of Belgium, New Japan Philharmonic, and the

American Symphony. He has led subscription weeks with the Los Angeles Phil-

harmonic at Disney Concert Hall and regularly conducts the Hollywood Bowl

Orchestra at the Hollywood Bowl.

Mr. Newman is also active as a composer for the concert hall, where his

works have been performed by orchestras across the United States. He com-

posed a violin-orchestra suite for Sarah Chang based on the songs from the

Broadway hit West Side Story. Mr. Newman has also spent considerable time

unearthing and restoring fi lm music classics for the concert hall, and headed the

Sundance Institute’s music preservation program in the late 1980s. As a tribute

to his work in fi lm music preservation, in 2007 he was elected President of the

Film Music Society, a nonprofi t organization formed by entertainment industry

professionals to preserve and restore motion picture and television music.

Passionate about nurturing the next generation of musicians, Newman

serves as President of the Board of the American Youth Symphony, a forty-three-

year-old pre-professional orchestra based in Los Angeles. He is also on the

board of governors of the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences. When

his schedule permits, he visits Los Angeles area high schools and universities to

speak about fi lm scoring and mentor young composers.

Th e son of nine-time Oscar-winning composer Alfred Newman, David

Newman was born in Los Angeles in 1954. He trained in violin and piano from

an early age and earned degrees in orchestral conducting and violin from the

University of Southern California. He is married to Krystyna, and is the father

of two girls, Diana and stepdaughter Brianne.

H A I L E D A S O N E of the world’s most beau-

tiful concert halls, Severance Hall has been

home to Th e Cleveland Orchestra since its

opening on February 5, 1931. Aft er that

fi rst concert, a Cleveland newspaper edito-

rial 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 Associa-

tion, 1921-1936) and his wife, Elisabeth,

donated the funds necessary to erect this

magnifi cent building. Designed by Walker

& Weeks, its elegant Georgian exterior was

constructed to harmonize with the classi-

cal architecture of other prominent build-

ings in the University Circle area. Th e

interior of the building refl ects a combina-

tion of design styles, including Art Deco,

Egyptian Revival, Classicism, and Mod-

ernism. An extensive renovation,

restoration, and expansion of the facility

was completed in January 2000.

Th e Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918 by a group of local citizens in-

tent on creating an ensemble worthy of joining America’s ranks of major symphony

orchestras. Over the ensuing decades, the Orchestra quickly grew from a fi ne re-

gional organization to being one of the most admired symphony orchestras in the

world. Th e opening in 1931 of Severance Hall as the Orchestra’s home brought a

special pride to the ensemble and its hometown, as well as providing an enviable and

intimate acoustic environment in which to develop and refi ne the Orchestra’s artist-

ry. 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.

Don’t miss the opera event of the sea-

son! With this compelling new production

of Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen, created

specifi cally for Severance Hall. Presented with

innovative and original animation, this world

premiere production plumbs the depths of

human experience in a charming tale of love,

peril, freedom, and family. On the surface, the

story is about childish things, but underneath

human emotions boil over and burst apart

between the “animals of the forest” and their

human interlocutors.
