More on the Cleveland Orchestra

(image from the web)

In my previous post, I wrote about the Cleveland Orchestra, which Time Magazine once called "the best band in the land".  For those of you who would like to learn more and hear our great orchestra in action (especially for my readers who live outside the Cleveland area), I searched YouTube for some video clips.  I have provided links to four short videos that were produced by the orchestra.

The first describes the orchestra in its role as Cleveland's global ambassador.

The second deals with the life of John Severance, the founder of the orchestra's home, Severance Hall.

The third is a brief clip of the orchestra playing Bruckner's Symphony No. 8.

The final video shows segments from a concert in Miami, Florida, where the orchestra does a yearly residency.  It ends with the thunderous conclusion of Ravel's Bolero.
