In concerts at its winter home at Severance Hall and at each summers Blossom Festival, in residencies from Miami to Vienna, and on tour around the world, The Cleveland Orchestra sets standards of artistic excellence, creative programming, and community engagement. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">The Cleveland Orchestras educational programs, a cornerstone of the Orchestras original mission, have introduced nearly four million Cleveland-area schoolchildren to symphonic music since 1921. During the 2009-10 season, the Orchestra launched a Community Music Initiative that began with orchestral performances led by Franz Welser-Mst in Cleveland Metropolitan School District public schools. Designed to provide greater access to orchestral music for more of Northeast Ohios citizens than ever before, the Community Music Initiative introduces new programs throughout the year for students from preschool through high school. The season closes in June 2010 with a free retrospective concert celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer fellowships, featuring new works created through this ongoing program.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">The partnership with Franz Welser-Mst, now in its eighth season, has earned The Cleveland Orchestra unprecedented residencies in the United States and in Europe, including one at the Musikverein in Vienna the first of its kind by an American orchestra. The Orchestra returned to Vienna during the 2009-10 season for its fourth Musikverein Residency as part of a nine-concert tour. The Orchestra regularly appears at European festivals, including an ongoing series of biennial residencies at the Lucerne Festival (featuring Roche Commissions, a project involving the Orchestra, the Festival, and Carnegie Hall). In the United States, Mr. Welser-Mst and the Orchestra have toured from coast to coast, including regular appearances at Carnegie Hall, and in January 2007 began an unprecedented long-term residency project in Miami, Florida, where they perform annually at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County and provide a wide array of community and educational activities. In addition, the 2009-10 season marks the announcement of a residency at New Yorks Lincoln Center Festival that starts in 2011 and will feature The Cleveland Orchestra in Vienna State Opera productions. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br /> The Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918 by a group of local citizens. It has been led by seven music directors (Nikolai Sokoloff 1918-33, Artur Rodzinski 1933-43, Erich Leinsdorf 1943-46, George Szell 1946-70, Lorin Maazel 1972-82, Christoph von Dohnnyi 1984-2002, and Franz Welser-Mst 2002-present), and one musical advisor (Pierre Boulez 1970-72). Expansion to a year-round schedule was made possible in 1968 with the opening of Blossom Music Center, an outdoor facility in nearby Cuyahoga Falls that is home to the Orchestras Blossom Festival. Today, touring, residencies, radio broadcasts, and recordings available by internet download and on DVD and CD provide access to the Orchestras music-making to a broad and loyal constituency around the world.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">For additional information, please visit clevelandorchestra.com.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Franz Welser-Mst</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Music Director<br />Kelvin Smith Family Endowed Chair<br />The Cleveland Orchestra</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">Franz Welser-Mst is in his eighth year as Music Director of The Cleveland Orchestra.

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. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">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.</span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">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. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Music Director Franz Welser-Msts Programming</span><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Franz Welser-Mst opens his ninth season with The Cleveland Orchestra with a program including Stravinskys The Rite of Spring, in two subscription concerts at Severance Hall and at a Cleveland Metropolitan School District high school. Also during the 2010-11 season, Mr. Welser-Mst will conduct John Adamss Doctor Atomic Symphony; Bachs Mass in F major (BWV 233); Bartks Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta; Bartks Second Piano Concerto and Schumanns Piano Concerto with Pierre-Laurent Aimard; Beethovens Symphonies Nos. 3 and 8; Dvoks Te Deum, Mahlers Symphony No. 4; a fully staged production of Mozarts Don Giovanni; Rossinis Stabat Mater; and Strausss Ein Heldenleben, among 39 performances at Severance Hall, the Miami Residency, and on tour.

At the end of the season, Mr. Welser-Mst conducts the world premiere of Daniel R.

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. In 2011, during the Orchestras residency at the Lincoln Center Festival, Mr. Welser-Mst will conduct four Bruckner symphonies. Mr. Welser-Mst is a native of Linz, Austria, where Bruckner spent the formative years of his career.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">Mozarts Don Giovanni <br />The Mozart/Da Ponte cycle of operas fully staged at Severance Hall concludes as Franz Welser-Mst conducts Don Giovanni on March 19, 22, 24, and 27, 2011. The production of Don Giovanni will be based on the Zurich Opera production directed by Sven-Eric Bechtolf. The Orchestras three-season cycle of the Mozart/Da Ponte operas began in 2009, with four performances of Le nozze di Figaro. The same number of performances of Cos fan tutte were presented in March 2010.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />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. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;" /><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> 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.

They were recorded for broadcast by CBC Radio over the past two decades. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">3 Concerti marks Petrowska Quilicos 23rd CD, and seventh on the Centrediscs label. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">The CD features the following, all with Petrowska Quilico as piano soloist:</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">Alexina Louie: Concerto for Piano and Orchestra (1984) with the National Arts Centre Orchestra conducted by Alex Pauk. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />Violet Archer: Concerto No.1 for Piano and Orchestra (1956) with the CBC Vancouver Orchestra conducted by John Eliot Gardiner.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />Larysa Kuzmenko: Piano Concerto (1995, rev. 1996) with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jukka-Pekka Saraste. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">CDs can be ordered through the Canadian Music Centre, www.musiccentre.ca or via www.petrowskaquilico.com. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">The 3 Concerti project came as result of the Gender and Performance graduate course that Petrowska Quilico teaches at Torontos York University. I wanted the students to hear the brilliance of Canadian women composers, especially in live performance, she said. Thanks to CBC producer David Jaeger, I had recordings of several concerts in which I had premiered womens concerti. From those recordings we chose works that are very different in their compositional styles, yet in which each features a virtuoso piano part. <br /><br />Since playing her first concerto Haydns D Major at age 10, Christina Petrowska Quilico has performed an impressive range of repertoire for piano and orchestra, from Bach and Beethoven to Bartok, Gershwin, and Canadians Glenn Buhr, the three women on the new CD, and more. <br /><br />The Canadian Music Centre and the Canadian League of Composers honored Petrowska Quilico with The 2007 Friends of Canadian Music Award. A national jury recognized her for her dedication to Canadian contemporary classical music as well as her unwavering support of this countrys composing community. Throughout her exceptional performing and recording career, Christina Petrowska Quilico has had a profound impact on Canadas classical music community from coast to coast. She was also among Canadian artists honored by the CMC on its 50th anniversary in November 2009 at the National Arts Centre, and performed Glass Houses by Ann Southam at the special concert celebrating the occasion.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">CRITICAL ACCLAIM OF THE FEATURED CONCERTI AND PERFORMANCES: <br /><br />Violet Archer Concerto: </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">In his essay on Violet Archer for the book Contemporary Canadian Composers (Oxford University Press), critic Kenneth Winters calls the Archer concerto, a masterpiece and a genuine concerto in terms of display and dynamics. He refers to the ease and virtuosity of both piano and orchestra in the propulsive opening movement, the pensive and lyrical middle movement, and the vigorous finale, which leaves the listener mildly appalled that a work of this calibre should be played so seldom. <br /><br />Larysa Kuzmenko Concerto:</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />The concerto, a CBC commission, drew standing ovations when Petrowska Quilico performed it with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra and conductor Bramwell Tovey at the Winnipeg New Music Festival, and again with the Toronto Symphony under Jukka-Pekka Saraste. Elissa Poole wrote in the Globe and Mail of the classically virtuoso performance by soloist Christina Petrowska Quilico. Kuzmenko returned to the grandiose gestures of the romantic piano concerto. The Toronto Stars William Littler described the concertos broad, sweeping gestures and strong melodic profile of a concerto in the romantic tradition. With the considerable help of its soloist, the nimble-fingered Christina Petrowska Quilico, it was the undoubted hit of the evening. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">Alexina Louie Concerto:</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;"><br />Petrowska Quilico twice performed this work with Alex Pauk conducting first with the National Arts Centre Orchestra, and again with the Esprit Orchestra. William Littler of the Toronto Star noted that able champion of the contemporary keyboard literature, Christina Petrowska Quilico, applied the proverbial hammer and tongs to a piano part full of cluster chords, glissandos and runs, surrounded by enough orchestral goings-on in rapidly changing metres to keep conductor Alex Pauk working overtimeĶ. The concerto in its deliberately big-boned, splashily and often exotically (complete with lions roar and Chinese gongs) scored...it has life, color and drama enough to keep the ear wondering what is going to happen next. <br /><br />The Globe and Mails Robert Everett-Green called it, a large-scale exercise in grand-manner composition, a piece that nearly bursts the bounds of the chamber-sized orchestra for which it was written, while reflecting the composers project of bringing into the mainstream of progressive music the sounds of her Chinese heritageĶ. The pianist, Christina Petrowska Quilico, gave a committed reading of the virtuoso solo part, which makes some fairly athletic demands of the performer. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;

Stull has announced the appointment of Robert Walters to the position of professor of oboe and English horn at the conservatory, effective July 1, 2010.<br /><br />"Robert Walters is a phenomenal artist and teacher who will continue to serve as a brilliant mentor to our students," says Stull. "His extraordinary success in preparing world-class artists will benefit generations of musicians at Oberlin, and we are exceedingly fortunate to have him as a member of our faculty." <br /><br />Walters assumes leadership of an oboe and English horn studio that has seen a great deal of success, with recent Oberlin graduates being offered principal positions in the Shanghai, Kansas City, and Pacific symphonies and the Santiago Philharmonic. Others have been finalists for principal positions with San Francisco Opera and the Seattle Symphony.<br /><br />The culture of wind playing and teaching at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music is a long and distinguished one, says Walters. I am thrilled to be part of a faculty that is so deeply committed to shaping and guiding successive generations of young musicians. I love the sense of shared mission that animates absolutely everyone who teaches here.<br /><br />Walters plays oboe and solo English horn with the Cleveland Orchestra, a position he also held with the Metropolitan Opera and Cincinnati Symphony. He has taught at Bard, Swarthmore, Haverford, and at the University of Pennsylvania. He currently teaches at the Aspen Music Festival, the Colorado College Summer Music Festival, and the New World Symphony.<br /><br />A fourth-generation music professor and a graduate of both the Curtis Institute of Music and Columbia University, Walters believes that his educational experiences and background instilled in him a strong commitment to teachingespecially at the undergraduate level. The ideals of intensive musical training coupled with a broad education have profoundly shaped my own life, says Walters. It is a great joy for me to help undergraduates forge a similar path for themselves at such a rich and vital time in their lives.<br /><br />The principles that I share with my students at Oberlin are ones that I constantly refer to while performing with the Cleveland Orchestra, says Walters. My Oberlin students recognize that for me, teaching and playing are, as the poet William Mathews suggests, two parts of a single and seamless investigation.<br /><br />Throughout his teaching career, Walters has helped students of both instruments attain positions with the orchestras of Atlanta, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Houston, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, New Jersey, Rochester, Seattle, and San Francisco.<br /><br />The level of playing keeps getting higher and higher, says Walters. Im convinced that our good fortune is a direct result of a teaching style that seeks to mirror that of the Oberlin Conservatory itself. We offer a world-class musical education that places self-discovery on equal footing with instrumental mastery.<br /><br /><b>Robert Walters</b><br />Robert Walters joined the Cleveland Orchestra as solo English horn and oboe at the beginning of the 2004-05 season. He previously held the same positions with the Metropolitan Opera and the Cincinnati Symphony. From 1990 to 1996, he performed and recorded with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Orchestra of St. Lukes, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, among other ensembles. He also was a frequent performer with James Levine and the MET Chamber Ensemble at Carnegie Hall.<br /><br />Walters has appeared as guest soloist with the Chicago Symphony, the Cincinnati Symphony, and the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra at Carnegie Hall. Other solo engagements include performances with the Beijing Radio Symphony and Curtis Symphony Orchestra. He has been a faculty member of the Colorado College Summer Music Festival since 2003 and the Aspen Music Festival since 2005. He became a member of the oboe faculty at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in February 2006. Previously, he has taught oboe at Bard, Haverford, and the University of Pennsylvania.<br /><br />A native of Los Angeles, Walters earned a Bachelor of Music degree at the Curtis Institute of Music and a Master of Fine Arts degree at Columbia University, Graduate Writing Division. He spent five summers at the Marlboro Music Festival and toured as a member of Musicians from Marlboro. He also participated in the National Repertory Orchestra, the Bard and Spoleto festivals, and the Kent/Blossom Music program. Walters studied with Richard Woodhams, principal oboe of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the late John Mack, former principal oboe of the Cleveland Orchestra.<br /><br /><b>The Oberlin Conservatory of Music Į</b><br />Awarded the 2009 National Medal of Arts by President Barack Obama, the Oberlin Conservatory of Music is renowned internationally as a professional music school of the highest caliber. Praised as a national treasure by the Washington Post, the conservatory, founded in 1865 and situated amid the intellectual vitality of Oberlin College since 1867, is the oldest continuously operating conservatory in the United States. Oberlins alumni enjoy illustrious careers in all aspects of the music world. They have achieved prominence as solo performers; chamber, orchestral, and jazz musicians; composers; conductors; and music educators, scholars, and administrators.ĮĮ</span></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4496101789891190497-1209015282645066210?l=www.scena.org%2Fblog%2Fnewswire' alt='' /></div>LSM Newswirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12850527843399076654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496101789891190497.post-5538476946459961922010-03-24T13:56:00.002-04:002010-03-24T13:56:52.691-04:00Dance Immersion Celebrates 15th Year<div class="ii gt" id=":8l" style="color: black;

Throughout the whole festival, The Middle East Modern Masters exhibition will be held at the Emirates Palace. The exhibition will feature a joint collection of works by two of the greatest living masters of Middle Eastern art - sculptors Parviz Tanavoli and Adam Henein. The Abu Dhabi Festival takes place from 20 March to 7 April.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">HE Hoda I. Al Khamis-Kanoo, Founder of the Abu Dhabi Music & Arts Foundation, commented: The Abu Dhabi Festival is committed to the visual arts. Messages and ideas embodied in this exhibition promise to provoke widespread debate and intrigue as these two masters come together for the first time in Abu Dhabi. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As in previous years the visual arts play an important part in the Abu Dhabi Festival and ADMAF is honored to be able to welcome two of the most prominent Middle Eastern artists, Parviz Tanavoli and Adam Henein.

It is of great significance that such an important collection of modern Middle Eastern art will be shown here in Abu Dhabi, a place which is fast becoming the regional capital for the arts and culture, she pointed out.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">According to Kanoo, the Middle East Modern Masters exhibition will explore the distinct styles of these great sculptors, whilst encouraging viewers to pose questions about the progression of Middle Eastern sculpture and its role in the global art world. Each sculptor explores his own unique heritage, with each work calling on its own references, both historical and modern. It is these avenues that audiences to the exhibition are invited to explore and reflect to the works in their own way, she added.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">With this Exhibition, we hope to develop further strands of discussion and dialogue about some of the leaders in Middle Eastern sculpture, and the themes that their works explore both individually and together, she said.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The three-week manifestation features more than 90 world-class performances across traditional, classical and jazz music, drama, fine arts, and ballet.
