As it nears the centennial of its founding in 2018, The Cleveland Orchestra is undergoing a new transformation and renaissance. Under the leadership of Franz Welser-Möst, entering his fifteenth year as the ensemble's music director with the upcoming 2016-17 season, The Cleveland Orchestra is acknowledged among the world's very best orchestras. With Welser-Möst, the ensemble's musicians, board of directors, staff, volunteers, and hometown are working together on a set of enhanced goals for the 21st century - to continue the Orchestra's legendary command of musical excellence, to renew its focus on fully serving the communities where it performs through concerts, engagement, and music education, to develop the youngest audience of any orchestra, to build on its tradition of community support and financial strength, and to move forward into the Orchestra's next century with an unshakeable commitment to innovation and a fearless pursuit of success.
The Cleveland Orchestra divides its time each year across concert seasons at home in Cleveland's Severance Hall and each summer at Blossom Music Center. Additional portions of the year are devoted to touring and to a series of innovative and intensive performance residencies. These include an annual set of concerts and education programs and partnerships in Miami, Florida, a recurring residency at Vienna's Musikverein, and regular appearances at Switzerland's Lucerne Festival, at New York's Lincoln Center Festival, and at Indiana University.
