This week’s Cleveland Orchestra concerts culminate with a beloved and familiar piece, Claude Debussy’s La Mer (The Sea), which he referred to as “Three Symphonic Sketches for Orchestra.” The piece, which debuted in 1905 in Paris, has cropped up in numerous film scores and even influenced a song by Nine Inch Nails.
The program also includes Arnold Schoenberg’s Chamber Symphony No. 2, composed over more than three decades from 1906-1939, Camille Saint-Saëns’s 1896 Piano Concerto No. 5 (Egyptian”), featuring French pianist Cédric Tiberghien (pictured), and contemporary composer Matthias Pintscher’s 2011 orchestral work Ex Nihilo. The Schoenberg will not be played at the Friday morning concert.
Tickets are $29-$162.
