Schubert’s orchestral writing reached its peak in his forward-looking Ninth Symphony, which was almost lost to history but luckily resurfaced after Schubert’s death. The Cleveland Orchestra demonstrates the symphony’s depth and passion under the baton of Finnish conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali, and cellist Sol Gabetta brings her rich tone and impeccable technique to Shostakovich’s captivating and rarely performed Second Cello Concerto.
There will be a concert preview presentation one hour prior to the performance in Reinberger Chamber Hall with James Wilding, Professor of Theory & Composition, The University of Akron.
