The Cleveland Orchestra announces its 107th season  The new season marks Music Director Franz Welser-Möst’s 23rd season with The Cleveland Orchestra Artistic highlights include 11 guest artist debuts, 2 world premieres, 2 US premieres, and 12 Cleveland Orchestra premieres Subscriptions are now on sale, with single tickets available on August 7CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Orchestra announced on Sunday its 2024–25 season at Severance Music Center, marking the 23rd year of its acclaimed partnership with Music Director Franz Welser-Möst. The schedule was first revealed to Cleveland Orchestra donors, subscribers, and community partners during the Orchestra’s inaugural Fanfare: A Patron Appreciation Event on Friday, March 15. The new season runs September 2024 through May 2025 and culminates in three performances of Leoš Janáček’s Jenůfa as part of the third annual Mandel Opera & Humanities Festival. Artistic highlights include 11 guest artist debuts, two world premieres, two US premieres, and an additional 12 works performed for the first time by The Cleveland Orchestra. “Each new season with The Cleveland Orchestra is a chance for us to take our wonderful Cleveland audience on a creative journey as we perform old and new repertoire, elevate new voices, and balance beloved classics, hidden gems, and thrilling premieres,” said Music Director Franz Welser-Möst. “In 2024–25, we will continue our exploration of Prokofiev’s symphonies, undertake a Beethoven piano concerto cycle with our dear friend Igor Levit, and premiere new works by current and past Daniel R. Lewis Composer Fellows Allison Loggins-Hull and Bernd Richard Deutsch, all the while showcasing the artistry and versatility of The Cleveland Orchestra.” “Every year, I look forward to sharing our new season of concerts with our community in Northeast Ohio and beyond — a community whose dedication, support, and generosity make everything we do possible,” said President & CEO André Gremillet. “Our new season showcases a unique mix of renowned artists and rising stars who will join the Orchestra over the course of nine months in performances of familiar masterpieces and exciting new works. We cannot wait for you to experience this brilliant and enriching music and look forward to creating more lasting memories together at Severance Music Center.” With Welser-Möst’s tenure coming to an end in June 2027, the 2024–25 season kicks off a series of artistic projects with longtime collaborators and new partners alike. In his 1993 conducting debut with The Cleveland Orchestra, Welser-Möst was joined by pianist Yefim Bronfman in Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 24. That partnership has flourished over the last three decades and continues at Severance Music Center on September 26, 27, 28, and 29 when Bronfman joins Welser-Möst and the Orchestra in Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3. Over the course of two weeks in November, The Cleveland Orchestra, Franz Welser-Möst, and Igor Levit join forces to present all five of Beethoven’s piano concertos. On November 6 and 7, the first of three programs pairs Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 with his Triple Concerto, featuring violinist Augustin Hadelich and cellist Julia Hagen. Concertos No. 2 and No. 4 then follow on both November 9 and 12. The cycle concludes on November 15, 16, and 17 with Concertos No. 1 and No. 5. On March 13 and 15, Welser-Möst is joined by star soprano Asmik Grigorian who makes her Cleveland Orchestra debut in two works uniquely suited for her lyrical talent: Strauss’s Four Last Songs and the final scene from Puccini’s Suor Angelica. Later that month, Welser-Möst and Grigorian take the program to Carnegie Hall for his 33rd appearance there with The Cleveland Orchestra. Photos of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst, The Cleveland Orchestra, Severance Music Center, and this season’s guest artists are available for download here. Composers conducting their own works The Cleveland Orchestra has a history of composers conducting their own works dating back to Sergei Prokofiev, Igor Stravinsky, and Sergei Rachmaninoff. That tradition continues throughout the 2024–25 season. On October 10, 12, and 13, the celebrated conductor and composer Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts his Cello Concerto, a work originally commissioned for Yo-Yo Ma. Performing the work with Salonen is rising Finnish cellist Senja Rummukainen who will make her Cleveland Orchestra debut. Tan Dun, who won an Academy Award for his score for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, makes his Cleveland Orchestra debut on October 31 and November 2. He conducts both his Water Concerto and Concerto for Orchestra in a vivid program centered around journeys through nature. Following the US premiere of his Tempest Symphony with The Cleveland Orchestra last year, Thomas Adès returns on February 20 and 22. This time, he will conduct his own America: A Prophecy, in a new version co-commissioned by The Cleveland Orchestra alongside works by Sibelius, Saariaho, and Ives. Cleveland Orchestra members featured as soloists Principal Percussion Marc Damoulakis uses water as a musical instrument in Tan Dun’s atmospheric and visually captivating Water Concerto on October 31 and November 2. Principal Cello Mark Kosower performs Henri Dutilleux’s five-movement cello concerto, Tout un monde lointain… on February 7, 8, and 9, as part of the Also sprach Zarathustra program. Daniel R. Lewis Composer Fellow In 2024–25, composer, flutist, and producer Allison Loggins-Hull concludes her tenure as the Orchestra’s 11th Daniel R. Lewis Composer Fellow. During her three-year residency, she has immersed herself in Cleveland’s culture and history, collaborating with community organizations, working with local schools, curating a series of chamber concerts, and creating new works for the Orchestra. Throughout this journey, she drew inspiration from Cleveland residents and artists to serve as the foundation for her final made-for-Cleveland commission. This new orchestral work will premiere on May 8, 9, and 10 in a program conducted by Music Director Franz Welser-Möst. Returning guests and Cleveland Orchestra debuts The Cleveland Orchestra welcomes back conductors Daniel Harding, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Klaus Mäkelä, David Robertson, Pablo Heras-Casado, Stéphane Denève, Elim Chan, Fabio Luisi, Thomas Adès, Alan Gilbert, and Bernard Labadie during the 2024–25 season.

Severance in Recital The 2024–25 Severance in Recital series features six world-class pianists in five memorable concerts. The series opens with Pavel Kolesnikov on September 24 in an intimate Reinberger Chamber Hall performance of Bach’s Goldberg Variations. Kolesnikov is followed by Kirill Gerstein, who brings to Cleveland a unique program featuring works by R. Schumann, Francisco Coll, Ravel, and Liszt on December 4. Víkingur Ólafsson and Yuja Wang are two of today’s most thrilling pianists, each with a long list of accolades associated with their talent and craft. They pair up on February 23 for a wide-ranging program including, among others, Schubert’s Fantasie in F minor and Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances. Leif Ove Andsnes has performed with The Cleveland Orchestra numerous times. He returns to Severance Music Center on March 27, this time for a recital featuring Chopin’s 24 Preludes and piano sonatas by Grieg and Tveitt. The recital series wraps up with two-time Grammy Award–winner Evgeny Kissin on May 7 in a program highlighting Beethoven, Chopin, and Shostakovich. 2025 Mandel Opera & Humanities Festival The Cleveland Orchestra continues to build on its outstanding reputation as one of America’s premier opera ensembles with a presentation of Leoš Janáček’s Jenůfa on May 17, 22, and 25 as part of the 2025 Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Opera & Humanities Festival.

The Cleveland Orchestra announces its 107th season.
Yamada’s Elgar 1 CBSO was superb. Great that he is showing Cleveland what a masterwork it is (nice coupling also, Moz 25 Piemontesi). Sir Mark took it to Chicago (2017 ish); I went to both concerts and they certainly seemed to ‘get it’ more in the second. The CSO strings in DIVES & LAZARUS were sublime! NYPO played it in 1909, but Cleveland was only founded in 1918 so they may never have played it?
