| Manuscript Collection | Save | | 2 | Title: | Cleveland Philharmonic Orchestra Records
| | | | Creator: | Cleveland Philharmonic Orchestra Records | | | | Dates: | 1937-1992 | | | | Abstract: | The Cleveland Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1938, by three musicians, Irving Klein, Alfred Zetzer, and Robert Zupnick. They envisioned the orchestra as a training ground for young musicians seeking orchestral experience towards future professional careers and as an outlet for talented amateur musicians. F. Karl Grossman, professor of music at Western Reserve University, was the first conductor and music director of the group, serving for 25 years. Affiliated with Western Reserve University in its early years, the orchestra performed at various locations. Later conductors included Zoltan Rozsnyai, Jose Serebrier, Robert Marcellus, John Ross, and William Slocum. In 1973, the orchestra first sponsored the Young Person's Concerto Competition, later renamed the Frieda Schumacher Concerto Competition. The orchestra also extended its outreach into the community, playing concerts for specific ethnic groups at the Bohemian National Hall, for the Polish-American Congress and the Lithuanian community, and at annual Martin Luther King Day concerts held at Cuyahoga Community College. Beginning in 1976, the orchestra performed under the name Cleveland Civic Orchestra, changing its name back to the Cleveland Philharmonic Orchestra in 1981. Throughout its history, the orchestra performed new works by local composers, including F. Karl Grossman, Leslie Adams, Ernest Miller, Robert Rollin, Daniel Shell, and Peter Ware. It featured soloists such as Josef Gingold, Daniel Majeske, Phil Myers, Eunice Podis, Linda Cerone, Jean Kraft, Richard Weiss, John Mack, Roman Rudnytsky, and many others. The collection consists of histories, articles of incorporation and constitutions, minutes, correspondence, notes, manuals and notebooks, articles, newspaper clippings, publicity materials, financial materials, grant applications, membership lists, reports, programs, and scrapbooks. | | | | Call #: | MS 4712 | | | | Extent: | 6.20 linear feet (7 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Grossman, F.

| | | | Creator: | Cleveland Chamber Music Society | | | | Dates: | 1950-1997 | | | | Abstract: | The Cleveland Chamber Music Society was founded in 1949 by a small group of individuals in order to sponsor chamber music concerts of high quality by world class musicians in the Greater Cleveland, Ohio, area. Concerts took place at a number of venues, many in the University Circle area, and also at the Fairmount Temple Auditorium, Beachwood, Ohio. In 1953, the Society established a school concert program, bringing local chamber music ensembles to schools throughout the Greater Cleveland, Ohio, area. In 1969, the Society became affiliated with the national program, Young Audiences Inc., whose goals were also to educate young students in the field of chamber music. The society continued to support these concerts when Young Audiences became an independent organization in 1978. Another mission of the Society was to commission the writing and performing of new compositions by local Cleveland composers, included Arthur Shepherd, Normand Lockwood, Walter Aschaffenburg, Starling Cumberworth, and Gerald R. Humel. The collection consists of articles of incorporation, code of regulations, minutes, correspondence, histories, reports, programs, contracts, financial statements, lists, publicity materials, news releases, newspaper clippings, tax documents, schedules, brochures, and manuscript music. | | | | Call #: | MS 4775 | | | | Extent: | 4.15 linear feet (5 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Cleveland Chamber Music Society. | Young Audiences, Inc. | Chamber Music. | Music -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Music -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc. | Music -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Performance. | Concerts -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Composers -- Ohio -- Cleveland.
