The Cleveland Orchestra announces that its Miami Residency in March 2011 will include subscription concerts at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County on March 4 and 5, as well as educational programs for students, including bringing the full orchestra to Miami Edison Senior High School on March 4.
Cleveland Orchestra Concerts at the Arsht Center
Giancarlo Guerrero, music director of the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, will lead The Cleveland Orchestra on Thursday, March 3, at 7:30 p.m., at the Adrienne Arsht Center in “Boléro with a Twist,” featuring Ravel’s Boléro. The program also includes Berlioz’s Roman Carnival Overture, a Suite from Bizet’s Carmen, and Sarasate’s Gypsy Airs, with violinist Augustin Hadelich as soloist. Mr. Hadelich’s performances with The Cleveland Orchestra mark his Miami debut.
On March 4 and 5 at 8 p.m., Mr. Guerrero will conduct The Cleveland Orchestra performing Kabalevsky’s Overture to Colas Breugnon, Elgar’s Enigma Variations, Ravel’s Boléro, and Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto, with Mr. Hadelich as soloist.
A Washington Post review of a recent performance by Augustin Hadelich commented, “Hadelich is in touch with the sunny side of the violin. He can dig in; he can probe it; he can make the instrument bark when the music calls for it. But his default seems to be the warm, lyrical joy of lilting melody.”

These Cleveland Orchestra performances are presented by the Musical Arts Association of Miami and the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County.
