Cleveland Orchestra debuts Fridays@7 series at Severance Hall on October 9
CLEVELAND Music Director Franz Welser-Mst will conduct The Cleveland Orchestra in its first Fridays@7 concert at Severance Hall on Friday, October 9, at 7:00 p.m. The program features Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Opus 67, preceded by his Piano Concerto No. 4 in G major, Opus 58, with Mitsuko Uchida as soloist.
The new Fridays@7 series offers early-evening programs that are about 75 minutes long, performed straight through, followed by informal performances of music curated by Cleveland percussionist Jamey Haddad. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., with bars open to serve drinks and light food. Each concert begins at 7 p.m. and runs without intermission. After the concert, audience members can move to the Bogomolny-Kozerefski Grand Foyer just outside the Concert Hall and sample interesting cuisine, enjoy cocktails, and mingle with musicians while listening to world music.
On October 9, the featured group performing after the concert is Cyro Baptista's Beat the Donkey, an eight-person world-beat group that takes its name from the Brazilian expression "Pau Na Mula," meaning "Let's go, let's do it!"
