SUMMARY:Performance:UMS presents The Cleveland Orchestra with Franz Welser-Möst
DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM\nFranz Liszt Orpheus\nBohuslav Martinů Symphony No. 2\, H. 295\nJohannes Brahms Symphony No. 2 in D major\, Op. 73\n\nAfter a 15-year absence\, The Cleveland Orchestra returns to Ann Arbor to open UMS’s season\, with a program conducted by Franz Welser-Möst in his 25th and final year as music director of the ensemble.\n\nThe performance opens with one of Liszt’s 12 symphonic poems\, Orpheus\, a work that composer Camille Saint-Saëns said is “woven of sunbeams and starlight.” \n\nBohuslav Martinů’s Symphony No. 2\, commissioned by the Czechoslovakian community in Cleveland in 1943 and premiered by the Orchestra\, is appreciated for its pastoral character and a joie de vivre that has been likened to fellow Czech Antonín Dvořák’s orchestral compositions. \n\nThe program closes with Johannes Brahms’s second symphony\, another pastoral work with mischievous dances and peaceful melodies.\n\nPlease note early 7 pm start time.\n\nA pre-performance talk with UMS and Cleveland Orchestra leadership begins at 5:45 pm in the Modern Languages Building.
