Under the leadership of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst, The Cleveland Orchestra has become one of the most sought-after performing ensembles in the world and is considered one of the most important orchestras in the United States. In concerts at its winter home at Severance Hall and at each summer’s Blossom Festival, in residencies from Miami to Vienna to New York and on tour around the world, The Cleveland Orchestra sets standards of artistic excellence, creative programming and community engagement. The program explores the influence of Igor Stravinsky on Aaron Copland’s music as well as each composer’s use of folk elements in his own works. giants Program Copland Lieberson Stravinsky
