Thu 7/30 @ 7PM
The next entry in The Cleveland Orchestra’s Summers at Severance series, for those who want to hear the orchestra without battling the Blossom Music Center traffic, will feature music from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.
It starts with Austrian composer Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 105 (“London”), his final symphony. It then leaps forward to 1966 with the Trombone Concerto by Nino Roto who is best known for his more than 150 film scores (especially astonishing since he died at the age of 67), including signature scores for Federico Fellini, Luchino Visconti, and Francis Ford Coppola’s first two Godfather films. But he also composed operas, ballets, orchestral and choral works. For this concerto, TCO’s Principal Trombone Brian Wendel will step into the spotlight in the solo role.
The concert concludes with French composer Camille Saint-Saëns’s Symphony No. 3 (“Organ”), which debuted in 1886. It will feature Severance Music Center’s 6,025-piped Norton Memorial Organ. Japanese conductor Kazuki Yamada will be on the podium. Get tickets HERE.
