The Classical Clown Family Concert

Dan Kamin, writer and director
The Cleveland Orchestra
Jayce Ogren, conductor


A classical concert goes horribly wrong when an annoying mime battles conductor, Jayce Ogren, for control of The Cleveland Orchestra. By the time it’s over the mime conducts and the conductor turns into a mime!

Dan Kamin created the physical comedy sequences for Chaplin and Benny and Joon and trained Robert Downey, Jr. and Johnny Depp for their acclaimed starring performances. Dan’s entertaining antics and skilled choreography transform a traditional concert into an exciting theatrical event that’s fun for the entire family. You'll discover the fun in great musical classics by Beethoven, Stravinsky, Strauss, and more at Severance Hall, a place for music and families.
