CLEVELAND, March 15, 2010 The Cleveland Orchestra has announced its 2010-11 season. Under the leadership of Music Director Franz Welser-Mst, the Orchestra continues its local programming diversification with numerous initiatives to attract new audiences and support. Within a full schedule of traditional subscription concerts, the season will feature the new series introduced in 2009 including Fridays@7, Musically Speaking, and the Celebrity Series, alongside fully staged opera. Also in the coming season, the Orchestra will inaugurate a two week Baroque Festival in Severance Hall.
Orchestra performances in public schools are an important part of The Cleveland Orchestras history. Franz Welser-Mst restored that tradition in the 2009-10 season when he conducted the Orchestra in two high schools in Cleveland and one in Miami. Hundreds of students who had never heard live orchestral music before were able to experience it for the first time. The Orchestras traditional Education Concerts at Severance Hall for more than 16,000 students annually will continue, as well as the Cleveland Orchestra Family Concert series.
The innovative variety of concert programs and formats presents audiences in Northeast Ohio with multiple ways to partake of symphonic music. Fridays@7 offers a social experience, Musically Speaking brings new audiences and long-time fans closer to the music, and the Celebrity Series spotlights different genres of music.

Franz Welser-Mst will conduct Bruckner Symphonies Nos. 5 and 7 in the 2010-11 season. He has led the Orchestra in three DVD productions of Bruckner symphonies in three historic venues the Abbey of St. Florian in Linz, Austria, the Musikverein in Vienna, Austria, and in Cleveland at Severance Hall which have been telecast in Europe and the United States.

Baritone Simon Keenlyside will perform the title role of Don Giovanni, in his first performances of the role in the United States. He can switch from genteel seductiveness to physical threat in a moment, registering all the gradations in his wonderfully vital and well-focused singing, wrote the Guardian of London, reviewing a performance by Mr. Keenlyside in Don Giovanni at Covent Garden. In a review of a 2008 production at the Royal Opera House, the Guardian described Mr. Keenlyside as a tour de force. Mr. Keenlyside most recently appeared with the Orchestra during a Cleveland Orchestra Musikverein Residency in Vienna in the fall of 2009.
The cast for Don Giovanni includes soprano Eva Mei (Donna Anna) in her Cleveland Orchestra debut, soprano Malin Hartelius (Donna Elvira), baritone Ruben Drole (Leporello), tenor Shawn Mathey (Don Ottavio) in his Cleveland Orchestra debut, soprano Martina Jankov (Zerlina), baritone Reinhard Mayr (Masetto) in his Cleveland Orchestra debut, bass-baritone Alfred Muff (Commendatore), and the Cleveland Orchestra Opera Chorus. The opera will be performed in Italian, with English supertitles.

He is the founder and conductor of the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra and Choir, artistic director of the French Festival Itinraire Baroque, Professor at the University of Leiden, and an Honorary Member of the Royal Academy of Music in London. He was named as Artist-in-Residence for The Cleveland Orchestra in June 2008, following his debut with the Orchestra in February 2008. The three-year Artist-in-Residence position is supported by the Malcolm E. Kenney Artist-in-Residence Fund.
Jrg Widmann, Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer Fellow
