January 16, 2016

Welcome to The Cleveland Orchestra’s 36th 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 that celebrates the life and legacy of Dr. King through classical, gospel, and spiritual music performed by The Cleve-land Orch estra.

We extend a warm welcome to this evening’s artists and performers — conduc-tor Robert Porco, the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Chorus, prepared by William Henry Caldwell, and 2015 Sphinx Competition prize-winning violinist Hannah White.

At the start of the concert, The Cleveland Orchestra in cooperation with the City of Cleveland and the Greater Cleveland Partnership present this year’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service Awards. These awards are detailed on the follow-ing pages and recognize community service and leadership by organizations and individuals making a diff erence here in Northeast Ohio.

We are grateful to several partners who make this concert possible. In addi-tion to the City of Cleveland, we recognize our generous sponsor, KeyBank, a Cleve-land Orchestra Partner in Excellence. Thanks to Cleveland radio station WCLV, this concert is being enjoyed by thousands across Northeast Ohio as they listen to the live broadcast on radio stations WCLV (104.9 FM) and WCPN (90.3 FM). We also ac-knowledge the members of the Orchestra’s Community Relations Committee for their thoughtful guidance and contributions toward the ongoing work of the institution.

Please join us on Monday, January 18, here at Severance Hall for our annual Mar-tin 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 and diversity.

Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Concert

Greetings,

My wife Karen and I welcome you to Severance Hall for the 36th

Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Concert in Cleveland.

The Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. was a man of unwavering

devotion to his faith in God, family, community, nation, and world.

He dedicated his life to the principles of liberty, justice, and equality,

and inspired countless people to strive toward achieving a world not

divided by racial lines, but united in a “beautiful symphony of brother-

hood.” Dr. King taught us that it is far better to love than hate and to

seek justice rather than revenge.

We applaud The Cleveland Orchestra’s efforts to commemorate

his legacy through music and we are grateful to all those who have

been involved with this celebration for your support of this incredible

annual event.

We hope this concert is another memorable tribute to a great man

with an even greater mission, and we extend our best wishes for an

enjoyable evening.

Sincerely,

John R. Kasich

Governor

Dear Friends,

It is truly an honor to join The Cleveland Orchestra for its 36th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Concert. The success of this event highlights the values of one of America’s greatest champions of racial jus-tice and equality, a champion who dared to dream of a color-blind society united in justice and peace. The words and deeds of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. continue to ring true and inspire us all today.

As we enjoy our world-famous Cleveland Orchestra’s beautiful music, let us also reflect on Dr. King’s words: “Almost always, the creative dedicat-ed minority has made the world better.” This orchestra — with its mission of spreading great music and the unity that results as people from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds gather under one roof — is a perfect ve-hicle to demonstrate the power of the dedicated and the creative.

One of the County’s top priorities is creating jobs and providing a pathway from poverty for our unemployed, underemployed, and most vulnerable citizens. The doors of this administration are open to every citizen, recog-nizing that all people can make a meaningful contribution toward building a strong community.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is not only a time for celebration and tribute but also education and remembrance. I am pleased to join The Cleveland Orchestra, City of Cleveland, and the Greater Cleveland Partnership as we celebrate a man who taught us to be courageous in truth, compassion, and service.

I commend and thank you for your continued commitment to justice and service. And I look forward to continuing to work alongside you as we continue to make Cuyahoga County a prosperous place for every citizen.

My best always,

Armond BudishCuyahoga County Executive

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 36 years to honor and remember this great American leader. This evening, our world-renowned Orchestra is led by conductor Robert Porco as we join with the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Cho-rus led by choral conductor William Henry Caldwell, and violinist Hannah White, the 15-year-old winner of the national Sphinx Competition for Black and Latino string players.

I am also pleased to acknowledge the thirteenth anniversary of the MLK Jr. Community Service Awards, presented in cooperation with the City of Cleveland by The Cleveland Orchestra and the Greater Cleveland Partner-ship through the Commission on Economic Inclusion. 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,

Mayor Frank G. Jackson

Phoenix, and Miami. Now that’s music to our ears.

A S I T N E A R S T H E C E N T E N N I A L O F its founding in 2018, The Cleveland Orch estra is undergoing a new trans-formation and renaissance. Under the leadership of Franz Welser-Möst, enter-ing his fourteenth year as the ensemble’s music director with the 2015-16 season, The Cleveland Orchestra is acknowledged among the world’s handful of best orches-tras. With Welser-Möst, the ensemble’s musicians, board of directors, staff , volun-teers, and hometown are working togeth-er on a set of enhanced goals for the 21st century — to continue the Orchestra’s legendary command of musical excel-lence, to renew its focus on fully serv-ing the communities where it performs through concerts, engagement, and music education, to develop the young-est audience of any orchestra, to build on its tradition of community support and fi nancial strength, and to move forward into the Orchestra’s next century with an unshakeable commitment to innovation and a fearless pursuit of success. 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 devot-ed 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, a recurring residency at Vien-na’s Musikverein, and regular appearances at Switzerland’s Lucerne Festival, at New York’s Lincoln Center Festival, and at Indi-ana University.

Musical Excellence. The Cleve-land Orchestra has long been commit-ted to the pursuit of musical excellence in everything that it does. The Orchestra’s ongoing collaboration with Welser-Möst is widely-acknow ledged among the best orchestra-conductor partnerships of to-day. Performances of standard repertoire and new works are unrivalled at home, in residencies around the globe, on tour across North America and Europe, and through recordings, telecasts, and radio and internet broadcasts. Its longstand-ing championship of new composers and commissioning of new works helps audi-ences experience music as a living lan-guage that grows and evolves with each new generation. Recent performances with Baroque specialists, recording proj-ects of varying repertoire and in diff erent locations, fruitful re-examinations and juxtapositions of the standard repertoire, and acclaimed collaborations in 20th- and 21st-century masterworks together en-able The Cleveland Orchestra the ability to give musical performances second to none in the world. Serving the Community. Pro-grams for students and community en-gagement 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 be-ing 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 “At Home” neigh-borhood residency program, designed to

bring the Orchestra and citizens together in new ways. Additionally, a new Make Music! initiative is being developed, cham-pioned by Franz Welser-Möst in advocacy for the benefi ts 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 educa-tion programs, the Orchestra made national and international headlines through the creation of its Center for Future Audi-ences in 2010. Established with a signifi cant endowment gift from the Maltz Family Foundation, the Center is designed to provide ongoing funding for the Orches-tra’s continuing work to develop interest in classical music among young people. The fl agship “Un-der 18s Free” program has seen unparalleled success in increas-ing attendance and interest — with 20% of attendees now comprised of concertgoers age 25 and under. Innovative Programming. The Cleveland Orchestra was among the fi rst American orchestras heard on a regular series of radio broadcasts, and its Sever-ance Hall home was one of the fi rst concert halls in the world built with recording and broadcasting capabilities. Today, Cleve-land Orchestra concerts are presented in a variety of formats for a variety of audiences — including popular Friday night concerts (mixing onstage symphonic works with post-concert entertainment), fi lm scores performed live by the Orchestra, collabora-

tions with pop and jazz singers, ballet and opera presentations, and standard reper-toire juxtaposed in meaningful contexts with new and older works. Franz Wels-er-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 Com-munity Support. The Cleveland Orches-tra 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 concerts. Hun-dreds of thousands have learned to love music through its education programs and celebrated important events with its music. While strong ticket sales cover just under half of each season’s costs, it is the generos-

ity of thousands each year that drives the Orchestra forward and sustains its extraor-dinary 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 Orch estra quickly grew from a fi ne regional organization to being one of the most admired sympho-ny orchestras in the world. Seven music directors have guided and shaped the ensemble’s growth and sound: Nikolai Soko loff , 1918-33; Artur Rodzinski, 1933-43; Erich Leins dorf, 1943-46; George Szell, 1946-70; Lorin Maazel, 1972-82; Christoph von Dohnányi, 1984-2002; and Franz Wels-er-Möst, since 2002. The opening in 1931 of Severance Hall as the Orchestra’s permanent home, with later acoustic refi nements and remodeling

of the hall under Szell’s guidance, brought a special pride to the ensemble and its home-town, as well as providing an enviable and intimate acoustic environment in which to develop and refi ne the Orch estra’s artistry. Touring performances throughout the Unit-ed States and, beginning in 1957, to Europe and across the globe have confi rmed Cleve-land’s place among the world’s top orches-tras. 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 facili-ties in the United States. Today, concert performances, com-munity presentations, touring residencies, broadcasts, and recordings provide access to the Orchestra’s acclaimed artistry to an enthusiastic, generous, and broad constitu-ency around the world.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.2016 Community Service Awards

The Cleveland Orchestra and the Greater Cleveland Partnership, in coopera-tion with the City of Cleveland, are pleased to announce the recipients of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Service Awards, who are positively impacting Cleveland in the spirit of the teachings and example of Dr. King:

Judge Jean Murrell Capers — adult / lifetime achievement Toussaint Joshua Miller — youth Congressman Louis Stokes — posthumous award / lifetime achievement

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 2016 AWARD RECIPIENTS Judge Jean Murrell Capers, age 103, grew up knowing the importance of education. Both of her parents graduated college from State Normal School for Col-ored Persons in Kentucky and became teachers. Her family moved from Kentucky to Cleveland, Ohio, in 1919, when she was just 6 years old. Judge Capers said it wasn’t because of racial tensions or better job opportunities, but because her father wanted her and her four siblings to get the benefi t of an integrated education. “He knew our competition wasn’t going to be with other Negro students, but rather with whites as well,” Judge Capers said. “We were very proud to have the opportunity for an education.” Judge Capers graduated from Cleveland Public Schools, and went on to receive a college degree from what was then Western Reserve University in 1935. After 5 years of teaching in Cleveland Public Schools, Jean Capers felt she could do more for her

community through the practice of law and enrolled at Cleveland Marshall Law School (now Cleveland-Marshall College of Law) in 1945. Judge Capers said it was harder to be a woman than an African-American while practicing law. She said the prejudices were evident, but she gave every judge a fair chance. Capers became the fi rst African-American woman to be elected to Cleve-land City Council in 1949. She served in the Cleveland prosecutor’s offi ce and as an assistant state attorney general. Then, in 1977, at age 62, Capers was appoint-ed a Cleveland Municipal Court judge. Throughout her life, Jean Capers has been a woman of character and integ-rity, and an enabler of social equality and justice, long before the marches and a movement. Her nominator remarked that Dr. King’s civil rights movement was built on the lives of many remarkable people, including Jean Capers, “who were marching with courage and freedom of spirit before others received important recog-nition for changing society and overcoming prejudice. We stand on the shoulders of people like Jean Capers who laid the foundation upon which the public Civil Rights movement was built.”

Toussaint Joshua Miller is a seventh-grade honors student at University School in Cleveland. His exemplary academic record and past involvement in the gifted and talented S.C.O.P.E program at Chambers Elementary (East Cleveland School District) show Toussaint’s dedication to education and his future. His ca-reer aspiration is to become a neurosurgeon. In 2015, Toussaint received the 2015 Dr. Martin Luther King Award from Ms. Myrna Loy Corley, East Cleveland District Superintendent. Outside of the academic realm, Toussaint remains actively en-gaged in community service by sharing his musical talents on the piano, drums, and trumpet with local nursing homes. Toussaint has modeled his young life after Dr. King by serving on a youth mentor advisory board and being an active member of Olivet Institutional Baptist Church. In the words of his nominator, “Toussaint accepts the responsibility of being a leader and role model to his peers as well as to future generations.” Toussaint is the youngest recipient of the MLK Com-munity Service Award to date.

Congressman Louis Stokes grew up in inner-city Cleveland in the Outh-waite Housing Projects. He and his younger brother, Carl, were raised by their mother Louise after their father’s untimely death during their adolescence. Louis was not deterred by his circumstances, but rather became more determined to make change. Upon graduation from Cleveland Public Schools, Louis served in the military, which supported his attendance at Cleveland College (of Western Reserve University) through the GI Bill. He continued his education at the Cleve-land Law School (now Cleveland-Marshall College of Law), where he became a Doctor of Jurisprudence in 1953. Under the guidance of John Carmack, success-

ful black real-estate broker, and Norman Minor, one of the most revered criminal attorneys in the state, the Stokes brothers established a successful law practice in Cleveland, taking on many civil rights cases. In 1968, Louis Stokes became Ohio’s fi rst black congressman upon election to the U.S. House of Representatives. In order to best represent the citizens of Cleveland in a predominantly black district, Stokes legally challenged the race-based gerrymandering that existed, which had previously made it nearly impos-sible for a black candidate to win election in the House. In Washington, he helped

lay the cornerstone for the Congressional Black Caucus, and later served as its chairman. Stokes became the fi rst African-American to serve on the powerful Appropria-tions Committee, and became dean of the Ohio delega-tion. He chaired the House Ethics Committee and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Congressman Stokes’s most public role came as chairman of the House Select Committee on Assassinations, which was convened to reopen investigations of the assassina-tions of President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. After fi fteen terms, totaling 30 years of service in the House of Representatives, Congressman Stokes re-turned to practicing law in his retirement. He also served

as distinguished visiting professor at the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences at Case Western Reserve University, his alma mater. Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown told the Call and Post, “In his pursuit of racial jus-tice, Louis Stokes had a sharp focus on expanding access to health care and education for all communities. His public life was dedicated to improving social and economic justice in Cleveland — starting with building stronger neighborhoods and healthier public housing facilities. These eff orts earned him a special place in Cleveland history and the Civil Rights Movement.” Following Louis Stokes’s death on August 18, 2015, President Barack Obama issued an offi cial statement: “Lou triumphed over hardship to become a passionate voice for those less fortunate. . . . Lou leaves behind an indelible legacy in the countless generations of young leaders that he inspired, and he will be sorely missed.”

Lift every voice and sing, ’Til earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of liberty;

Let our rejoicing rise High as the listening skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.

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 ’til victory is won.

“Lift Every Voice and Sing”words by James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938), music by J. Rosamond Johnson (1873-1954)

43Severance Hall 2015-16 Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Concert

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 aft er the April 4, 1968, assassination of Martin Luther King, Th e Cleveland Orchestra under George Szell performed the “Alle-gretto” movement from Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 as a memorial tribute to the life of Dr. King. Toward the end of the next decade, Th e Cleve-land Orchestra played a key role in the evolution of a more formal and institutionalized recognition of Dr. King’s life. Th e Orchestra’s fi rst Martin Luther King Jr. Concert took place in January 1980. In the program book of that fi rst con-cert, Dr. Donald G. Jacobs, executive director of the Greater Cleveland Inter-church Council, applauded Th e Cleveland Orchestra “ for taking seriously the need for the whole community to recognize the vital role the life and death of Dr. King con tinues to play in the struggle for racial justice and human dignity.” Th e 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 Musical Arts Association 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. Th at same year, the federal government offi cially designated the third Monday in January as a public holi-day celebrating the life and work of Dr. King. In 1986, the City of Cleveland became directly involved in present-ing 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. Th e 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 con-certs, including Andrew Davis, Christoph von Dohnányi, Leslie Dunner, Raymond Harvey, Isaiah Jackson, Kay George Roberts, André Raphel Smith, Th omas Wilkins, Florence Quivar, Daisy New man, Cissy Houston, Janet Al-corn, Barbara Conrad, John Cheek, Natalie Hinderas, William Warfi eld, Leon

The Cleveland Orchestra celebratesthe dreams of Martin Luther King Jr. by Carol Jacobs


Bibb, and John Fleming. Music Director Franz Welser-Möst fi rst con-ducted the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Concert in 2003, and also conducted it in 2004, 2006, and 2009. 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 Cho-rus. In the past decade, William Henry Caldwell has taken on the role of chorus director. Other choral participants have included the Cleve-land 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 presenta-tion of contemporary American works, including those of Donald Erb, William Grant Still, Ulysses Kay, Carman Moore, Alvin Parris, Joseph Schwant ner, Hale Smith, Undine Smith Moore, George Walker, and Lanny Wolfe. Th e singing of “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” with audi-ence participation, has been a tradition since the 1984 concert.

Carol Jacobs served as Archivist for Th e Cleveland Orchestra from 1990 to 2007.

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 AT I O N H A S little or no direct experience or knowledge of the strug gle 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 vio-lence 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 minis-ters. 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. Washing-ton 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 ob-taining 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 fascina-tion for the life and teachings of Mahatma Gandhi, who ar-ticulated a doctrine of passive resistance to gain freedom in India. While Martin Luther King was studying for his doctor-ate 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 Mont-gomery 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 in-timidated. Still their protest made its point. Th e United States Supreme Court fi nally ruled that existing Alabama laws regarding segregated seat-ing were unconstitutional. Blacks and whites rode buses for the fi rst time on a non-segregated basis. Th e success of the venture taught civil rights advocates that there was power in good organization and strong leader-ship, 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 or-ganizing the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) in Janu-ary 1957 to widen the eff ects 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 Ebe nezer 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 fi ghter of social injustice. His life was one long thread of dem-onstrations 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 Ameri-cans. 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 bal-cony, on April 4, 1968, he was shot by an assassin.

Welser-Möst and Cleveland Orchestra acclaimed throughout European Tour/Vienna Residency


Franz Welser-Möst led The Cleveland Orchestra on their sixteenth international concert tour and eighth biennial Vienna Residency together, performing twelve concerts in ten cities be-tween October 15 and 31. The tour featured performances in a number of Europe’s premier concert halls, including their debut performance at the new Philharmonie de Paris. The fol-lowing excerpts are taken from from reviews and commentary about these concerts:

“The Cleveland Orchestra’s sheer virtuosity, the honed precision of its interac-tion, and the scintillating silver gleam that was once its trademark, are still breathtaking.” —Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, October 19, 2015

“From the famous theme to the most tragic or airy passages, the conductor showed his masterful skill, not leaving out any detail, and transcending each motif. The prom-ise of a very high quality concert was kept, giving the audience the opportunity to hear one of the best American orchestras in Europe.” —Crescendo, October 15, 2015 (Brussels)

“Welser-Möst’s uncommonly vivid conducting left no doubt — the interpretation was an argument that this work, as Beethoven said of his “Pastoral,” is more an ex-pression of feeling than a painting. . . . The burst of excitement that followed gave the strings another opportunity to demonstrate their excellence.” —Luxemburger Wort, October 19, 2015

“Without a doubt, the superb Cleveland Orchestra, which prefers roundness to bril-liance and never fl ashy virtuosity, adheres to the approach perfectly. Their Austrian director successfully avoids the trap of going overboard and shows he knows how to conduct the music, from start to fi nish, making a tight, unifi ed ensemble.” —ConcertoNet, October 22, 2015 (Paris)

“The strings and brass provided gleaming opulence, and Welser-Möst played the mountain guide in overdrive. Overall, as was made clear at the Konzerthaus this eve-ning, the musicians from Cleveland can play anything.” —Westfälische Nachrichten Münster-Stadt, October 24, 2015 (Dortmund)

“Conductor Franz Welser-Möst also strikes the necessary balance between attack and withdrawal, using timbre to maintain the internal tension. . . . Also key: the orch-estra’s clarity and transparency are always present in service of expression. . . . It was a brilliant evening by a great orchestra.” —Der Standard, October 29, 2015 (Vienna)

Cleveland Orchestra joins in national food drive this month For an eighth year, The Cleveland Orches-tra is holding a food drive at the start of the calendar year, with goods donated locally. The event is part of Orchestras Feeding America, a national food drive held by America’s sympho-ny orch estras. First started in 2009, this project has involved over 250 orch estras from across the nation, who have together collected over 500,000 pounds of food for their communities. The project is the single largest orchestra project orga-nized at a national level, uniting musicians, audi-ences, staff , and volunteers to help alleviate hunger. This year’s drive in Cleveland is being undertaken surrounding the Orchestra’s con-certs on and around the Martin Luther King weekend, with collection of non-perishable food items at concerts and performances Janu-ary 14-18 at Severance Hall. Unexpired food donations are being collected Thursday through Saturday evenings, and at Monday afternoon’s Martin Luther King Jr. Community Open House. Food collected this year by The Cleveland Orchestra will be donated to WSEM Food Center at Community Corner in Gordon Square, part of Hunger Network of Cleveland.

New album features Cleveland Orchestra brass playing Gabrieli A new album released in October features the National Brass Ensemble paying homage to an earlier Grammy Award-winning album, The Antiphonal Music of Gabrieli. The new al-bum, titled simply Gabrieli, showcases principal brass and percussion musicians from ten of the nation’s top orchestras across the country — including several players from The Cleveland Orches-tra — performing works by Giovanni Gabrieli. The new album also features the world premiere of John Williams’s “Music for Brass,” a trib-ute to the great tradition of versatil-ity and artistic prominence of American brass playing. The National Brass Ensemble was born more than four decades ago and features brass and percussion players from seven major orchestras across the country, with the members of the Na-tional Brass Ensemble holding principal positions in the Boston Symphony, Chicago Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, Detroit Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, and the San Francisco Symphony, Opera, and Ballet orchestras. The album is available through the Cleve-land Orchestra Store at Severance Hall.

Giving Societiesgifts during the past year, as of October 30, 2015

In celebration of the critical role individuals play in supporting The Cleveland Orchestra each year, donors of $2,500 and more are recognized as members of special Leadership Giving Societies. These societies are named to honor important and inspirational leaders in the Orchestra’s history. ��The Adella Prentiss Hughes Society honors the Orchestra’s founder and first manager, who from 1918 envisioned an ensemble dedicated to community service, music education, and performing excellence. The George Szell Society is named after the Orchestra’s fourth music director, who served for twenty-four seasons (1946-70) while refining the ensemble’s international reputation for clarity of sound and unsurpassed musical excellence. The Elisabeth DeWitt Severance Society honors not only the woman in whose memory Severance Hall was built, but her selfless sharing, including her insistence on nurturing an orches-tra not just for the wealthy but for everyone. The Dudley S. Blossom Society honors one of the Orchestra’s early and most generous benefactors, whose dedication and charm rallied thousands to support and nurture a hometown orchestra toward greatness. The Frank H. Ginn Society honors the man whose judicious management of Severance Hall’s finances and construction created a beautiful and welcoming home for Cleveland’s Orchestra. The 1929 Society honors the vibrant com-munity spirit that propelled 3,000 volunteers and donors to raise over $2 million in a nine-day campaign in April 1929 to meet and match John and Elisabeth Severance’s challenge gift toward the building of the Orchestra’s new concert hall.

H A I L E D A S O N E O F the world’s most beautiful concert halls, Severance Hall has been home to The Cleveland Or-chestra since its opening on February 5, 1931. After that fi rst concert, a Cleve-land newspaper editorial stated: “We believe that Mr. Severance intended to build a temple to music, and not a tem-ple 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 most of the funds necessary to erect this magnifi cent building. De-signed by Walker & Weeks, its elegant

Georgian exterior was constructed to harmonize with the classical architec-ture of other prominent buildings in the University Circle area. The interior of the building refl ects a combination of design styles, including Art Deco, Egyp-tian Revival, Classicism, and Modernism. An extensive renovation, restoration, and expansion of the facility was com-pleted in January 2000. In addition to serving as the home of The Cleveland Orchestra for concerts and rehearsals, the building is rented by a wide variety of local organizations and private citi-zens for performances, meetings, and special events each year.
