I wanted to be on the Board to contribute to the Pops, most currently as current Chairman, to help our outstanding musicians, Board, and patrons, and especially Maestro Carl Topilow and President Shirley Morgenstern.
The Cleveland Pops have such a tradition of performing with their special flair light classical, popular, Broadway and Movie music, with such emphasis on the music of the various traditions that make up our musical heritage, including the music of Black America, Latin America, and various European sources.
And getting to be part of our return to Severance Hall makes the season even more special! Carl Topilow and the orchestra never fail to provide us and our guests with a delightful, relaxing and entertaining evening.
The Cleveland Pops Orchestra is an essential contributor to the rich quality of life in Northeast Ohio, as well as a provider of important arts education for our children and young adults. I am honored to serve on its Board of Directors. I became involved with the Pops after watching how they interact with their subscribers and concert goers as well as watching the great work they do in the community. My family and I support The Pops both personally and through our company.
It is the hidden gem of the Cleveland music scene. The arts enable expression, learning, and sharing of diverse perspectives. I joined the Board of Directors for the Cleveland Pops because it is an outstanding musical arts organization that expertly performs a wide variety of musical genres, which affords a broader opportunity for shared experiences, outreach, and education.
I became aware that they offer concerts in Elyria and I am excited to help promote them. Unlike executives, concertmasters, and musicians, music directors are sometimes employed as independent contractors. In these cases, orchestras will list the music director among the five highest paid independent contractors as opposed to sections devoted to employee compensation. In most of these instances, no information about benefits or deferred compensation is available.
Likewise, some music directors receive separate payments for duties associated with their position. For example, for several fiscal years the Seattle Symphony Orchestra paid former music director Gerard Schwarz via two separate private contractor listings: once for music director duties and the other for principal conducting duties. At the Baltimore Symphony, music director Marin Alsop is paid a fee for conducting services as an independent contractor and as an employee for non-conducting music director related duties and responsibilities.
In instances such as these, those figures have been combined into a single figure in the table below.
Copies are available for a fee feel free to inquire , or you can begin compiling your own database by building a comprehensive library of orchestra s, available from the Adaptistration Store. In this case, it was the first such occurrence from The Louisville Orchestra.
He lingers somewhat longer in Vienna, where he served for several years concurrently with Cleveland as general music director of the renowned Vienna State Opera. He also invites readers into his rehearsals, in Cleveland and elsewhere, to understand his intellectual approach to making music. Music, he explains, does not exist in a vacuum and cannot be fully appreciated in the abstract. It only makes sense, then, to devote at least some time with every piece to grappling with its social and historical context.
His case in point? Assuming he fulfills his current contract , through , his tenure will eclipse in length that of George Szell, the acclaimed former music director credited with elevating the Cleveland Orchestra to world-class status. But he positively beams about his earlier tenure with Zurich Opera, in Switzerland. He recalls with relish interactions with operatic luminaries and productions that moved him and shaped him as an artist. In his view, and in his experience, opera is the backbone of music, a form every musician must study.
