Mo Willems’s Because

The word “epic” could have been invented to describe the music of Götterdämmerung, the heaven-and-earth-shaking culmination of Wagner’s four-part Ring cycle, complete with vengeance, magic fire, and the redemptive power of love beyond death. Orchestral excerpts from this operatic thrill ride meld with the instantly charming neoclassicism of Prokofiev’s First Symphony and the US premiere of Olga Neuwirth’s Zones of Blue, a clarinet concerto performed by its dedicatee and longtime friend of The Cleveland Orchestra, Jörg Widmann.

Wagner’s Götterdämmerung

Jörg Widmann, a former Daniel R. Lewis Composer Fellow with The Cleveland Orchestra, makes a winning return to Severance to conduct three of his own works — including the US premiere of his wildly propulsive Danse macabre — alongside Mendelssohn’s “Reformation” Symphony, a treasure of the composer’s youth that ends with a stately fantasy on a famous chorale by Martin Luther.
