The Cleveland Orchestra’s 2024-2025 season
The Cleveland Orchestra’s 107th season
The Cleveland Orchestra will launch its 107th season on 19 and 22 September with the return of Franz Welser-Möst conducting Prokofiev’s ‘Classical’ Symphony, Schumann’s Violin Concerto with Frank Peter Zimmermann and Tchaikovsky’s ‘Pathétique’ Symphony. It is Welser-Möst’s twenty-third season at the helm of the orchestra, and the programs are typical of the unexpected juxtapositions and contrasts that have been a feature of his tenure here. Many more such combinations lie ahead.
