Cleveland Orchestra performs second concert in Fridays@7 series at Severance Hall on November 20
CLEVELAND, October 23, 2009 Jonathan Nott, chief conductor of Germanys Bamberg Symphony Orchestra, will conduct The Cleveland Orchestra in its second Fridays@7 concert, titled Cello and Space, at Severance Hall on Friday, November 20, at 7:00 p.m. Mr. Nott will be making his Cleveland Orchestra debut with concerts on November 19, 20 and 21. The November 20 program features Richard Strausss Also sprach Zarathustra (Thus Spake Zarathustra), Opus 30, which was used prominently in Stanley Kubricks film 2001: A Space Odyssey. The opening work on the program is Antonn Dvoks Cello Concerto in B minor, Opus 104, with Cleveland Orchestra Artist-in-Residence Alisa Weilerstein 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. The first concert in the series, featuring Mitsuko Uchida with the Orchestra and Music Director Franz Welser-Mst, sold out.
On November 20, the featured post-concert performers will be internationally renowned percussionist Jamey Haddad & Friends, including hyper-accordionist Michael Ward-Bergeman and percussionists Keita Ogawa and Dylan Moffitt, who performed with Alisa Weilerstein and The Cleveland Orchestra in Osvaldo Golijovs Azul in April 2009. Theyll be joined by cellist Alisa Weilerstein and a drum ensemble of 20 musicians from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and the Cleveland Institute of Music, in what promises to be an electrifying performance.
