Once again, the Cleveland Orchestra will be at home at Severance Music Center, between its treks out to Blossom Music Center for another Summers at Severance concert.
Hungary will take center stage at the concert, as all three pieces on the program were written by Hungarian composers, and 37-year-old conductor Christoph Koncz, who will be on the podium is Austrian-Hungarian.
The concert opens with Franz Liszt’s Les préludes, composed in the 1840s and 1850s. That will be followed by Symphonic Minutes composed in 1933 by Ernst von Dohnányi, the grandfather of Cleveland Orchestra Music Director Laureate Christoph von Dohnányi. It concludes with Bela Bartók’s 1943 Concerto for Orchestra, described on the orchestra’s website as “a symphonic tour-de-force that gives every section of The Cleveland Orchestra a chance to shine.”
