DescSeverance Hall and Northeast Ohio:Franz Welser-Most's thirteenth season as music director coincided with hosting the annual national conference of the League of American Orchestras for the first time in Cleveland, at which 1,000 staff members and musicians from orchestras across North America met to share and exchange ideas and solutions, and to learn firsthand of Cleveland's successes. During the 2014-15 season, the Orchestra performed 101 concerts at Severance Hall. These performances included 65 regular subscription concerts, plus the annual Holiday Festival in December, three At the Movies presentations, the Summers@Severance series, and Family Concert series, plus weekday Education Concerts. The Orchestra's annual Gala benefit evening took place on October 11, 2014, featuring pianist Lang Lang performing with the Orchestra and raising funds in support of the institution's education and community programs. All together, these Severance Hall concerts drew in just over 163,500 total admissions. Overall, attendance rose for the 2014-15 season and ticket revenue increased to a new record, achieved not through higher ticket prices but through sales of more tickets to an expanding number of people and households from across the region.Desc

DescTours and Residencies:Franz Welser-Most led The Cleveland Orchestra on its 2014 European Tour and Vienna Residency in September 2014. This was their fourteenth international tour together and centered on musical works by Johannes Brahms and Jorg Widmann, including an all-Widmann performance as part of the Berlin Festival. Concerts were also presented at the BBC Proms in London, and the Lucerne Festival, and in Linz, Paris, Amsterdam, and Vienna. One concert in London and one in Vienna, featuring symphonies by Brahms, were recorded for future broadcast and DVD release. The tour featured six performances of Widmann's flute concerto, Flute en suite, with Cleveland's principal flute Joshua Smith, who premiered the work in 2011.The Cleveland Orchestra returned to Miami for its ninth season of concerts, presented under the name Cleveland Orchestra Miami in collaboration with the Miami Music Association. The season's subscription concerts, presented in partnership with Miami's Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County, drew over 14,800 in paid admissions across four weekends, led by Franz Welser-Most and by Miami principal guest conductor Giancarlo Guerrero. As part of each Cleveland Orchestra Miami season, the Orchestra presents a variety of community and education programs. Free Education Concerts for Miami-Dade County public school students, Musical Rainbow concerts for young children, and various after-school programs, mentoring sessions, and masterclasses for college students served just over 7,000 students in 2014-15. In 2015, the Miami residency's community offerings also included Cleveland Orchestra Miami "Connects" with South Miami-Dade, an initiative to engage with communities surrounding the county's performing arts center in Cutler Bay. Over 1,000 residents took part in this community partnership, which featured two Musical Rainbows at elementary schools and coaching sessions by Cleveland Orchestra musicians at Coral Reef Senior High School. The initiative culminated with a sold-out free community concert on March 4, 2015.Desc

When an officer or a Senior Manager is handling a transaction or other arrangement of the ASSOCIATION that will not be placed before the Board or a Board Committee, and the Officer or senior Manager has a potential conflict of interest, the Officer or Senior Manager (1) shall disclose the potential conflict of interest to the ASSOCIATION's Executive Director, in the case of a Senior Manager, or to the Executive Committee, in the case of an Officer, (2) shall present any relevant information to, and answer any questions posed by, the Executive Director or the Executive Committee, and (3) shall not authorize or approve such transaction or other arrangement, and the authorization or approval shall be undertaken by the Executive Director or the Executive Committee.
