ANNIVERSARY SEASON
CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA CHORUS
Lisa Wong, Assistant Director Joela Jones, Principal Accompanist
Celebrating its 60th anniversary throughout the 2012-13 season, the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus is one of the few professionally-trained, all-volunteer choruses sponsored by a major American orchestra. Founded at the request of George Szell in 1952 and following in the footsteps of a number of earlier community choruses, the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus has sung in hundreds of performances at home, at Carnegie Hall, and on tour, as well as in more than a dozen recordings. Its members hail from nearly fifty Cleveland-area communities and together contribute over 15,000 volunteer hours to the Orchestra’s music-making each year. H AY DN’S TH E SE ASONS SOPRANOS
