Composers BureauKlaus George RoyBiography Klaus George Roy served as program annotator and editor of The Cleveland Orchestra from 1958 to 1988. Born in Vienna in 1924 and living in the US since 1940, he studied musicology with Karl Geiringer at Boston University and composition with Walter Piston at Harvard. He has been active since the late 19940s as teacher, lecturer, essayist, music critic (for "The Christian Science Monitor"), record annotator for some 200 albums on ten labels, radio and TV commentator, festival tour host with his wife Gene, regular contributor to "Stagebill" and other magazines, author of much published light verse, and tennis enthusiast. He has taught at the Cleveland Institute of Art (1975-88) and the Cleveland Institute of Music (1986-94). His catalogue includes over 140 compositions (including two chamber operas and some sixty songs) performed by leading artists in this country, nine capital cities of Europe, and in Rio de Janeiro, Jerusalem, and Cape Town. A collection of his special essays for the Cleveland Orchestra program book was published in 1993 in honor of the Orchestra's 75th anniversary, under the title "Not Responsible for Lost Articles - Thoughts and Second Thoughts from Severance Hall". It is available at the Hall, with all proceeds benefiting the Orchestra. Further Information
