Performer: Stephen Rose

The self-styled “world’s largest chamber music party” ends an eventful festival with rare early Shostakovich, Grieg’s full-blooded Cello Sonata and Appalachian Spring heard in its original scoring for 13 instruments. 

This week The Cleveland Orchestra and Cleveland Museum of Art, two iconic cultural brands in the city, collaborated on a two-concert series at the museum of music by composers who based their careers in California. The orchestra’s assistant conductor, James Feddeck, conducted the concerts in the museum’s intimate Gartner Auditorium.
