We told you several weeks ago about the Cleveland Orchestra’s residency in the Gordon Square neighborhood.
That original schedule has expanded to include 16 free events in 14 different venues by various combinations of musicians, including the full orchestra. The only event that requires a ticket is the May 16 orchestra concert at St. Colman Catholic Church. All the other are open to whoever feels like stopping by.
