So I need to briefly interrupt this blog to let you guys know about something really, truly cool that’s going on in Cleveland…
Cleveland is lucky enough to have literally one of the top orchestras in the nation (Check out this article to see what I’m talking about). Recently a group of young people have started working to restart Allegro (otherwise known as the Junior Committee of The Cleveland Orchestra or JCCO) . Wed. night was their inaugural event:
Chamber Music on Tap
We went and it was spectacular. 10 members of the orchestra played for us (10!!)…. And hung out with us before and afterwards. Getting to see people who are that good (like best in the entire frickin’ world good) play up close and personal… it was simply amazing. I know that Allegro is sponsoring at least two upcoming concerts at Severance but I don’t have the dates on hand. If anyone is interested please email me and I’ll pass on the info for you…...
Sounds fabulous. Just saw on PBS last night that The Cleveland Orchestra and Franz Welser-Möst will be on tonight on Great Performances, Carnegie Hall opening Night 2006. Such excitment. So not the same as hearing them live but still fun.
