Sat 7/9 @ 7PM
Youth will be on display at the Cleveland Orchestra’s concert at Blossom Music Center this weekend featuring Nikolai Rimsey-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, based on the Arabian Nights tales, along with Franz Liszt’s show-stopping Piano Concerto No. 1, which he composed to show off his own talents.
On the podium, 35-year-old Hong Kong musician Elim Chan, chief conductor of the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra and permanent guest conductor with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, will be making her Cleveland Orchestra debut. And as the soloist for the Liszt concerto, 29-year-old British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor, who signed to Decca Classics while still in his teens, will be showing off the skills that have made him an up-and-coming artist to watch.
The orchestra will also play Carl Maria von Weber’s overture to Der Freischütz.
