Let us take a trip through time, focusing on the epicenter of European classical music: Vienna. Dress up in your favorite outfit for Johann Strauss’s festive overture to Die Fledermaus, an opera about a costume ball. During this 250th anniversary year of Beethoven’s birth, we need no further excuse to play one of his finest and liveliest symphonies, the Seventh. In between is a more recent and still relatively unknown Viennese gem by Friedrich Gulda performed by Mark Kosower, The Cleveland Orchestra’s principal cellist. This eclectic and entertaining concerto deftly blurs the idioms of composers such as Beethoven and Strauss, and includes elements of jazz, rock, polka, classical, and more!

The works on this program juxtapose extremes of light and dark. Weber’s opera Der Freischütz depicts supernatural evils that lurk in the forest, as well as the eventual triumph of goodness. Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin contains scenes of heartrending sadness as well as joy, and the duet from Iolanta is about a young blind princess learning about light. Sibelius’ Symphony No.5 depicts the bleak cold of the Finnish landscape, but ends with a hopeful flight of swans.
