Brahms & Shostakovich moved to Severance Hall

**They moved the concert to Severance Hall in Cleveland due to the poor air quality. Lawn tickets are honored, they will be treating this as general admission. The Cleveland Orchestra site has more details.

Some of us will be arriving around 5 p.m. for picnicking before the concert start time at 7 p.m.

You are allowed to bring your own food and beverage including wine and beer for Cleveland Orchestra concerts only.
We will be seated down low on the lawn a little left of center (rubber cord cover strip) of stage.
Chairs must be low "beach type chairs" so not to block people's view.
You can rent chairs there too. Cost: $10 each.
**If you order tickets online, be sure to go to the official Cleveland Orchestra web site for the best pricing at: www.clevelandorchestra.com**
I believe tickets are around $35.00 each if purchased the day of the show at the gate. You can buy a book of ten tickets for $200.00
which comes out to $20.00 per ticket. If anyone has extra tickets, you are welcome to post in the comment section to sell.
The Whynot's has been attending these concerts at Blossom over the years, and it makes for a wonderful summer evening.
9 out 10 recommend attending. In my opinion.
Hope you can all share in this special event.

Repertoire & Performing Artists
Shostakovich
Violin Concerto No. 1
Brahms
Symphony No. 4
Brahms’s Fourth Symphony is a work of contrasts, veering from bold orchestral statements to exuberant dances and concluding with an homage to Baroque master J.S. Bach. Semyon Bychkov conducts this symphonic classic alongside Shostakovich’s First Violin Concerto. Composed under the watchful eye of the Soviet Union, this virtuosic showpiece requires a violinist of Karen Gomyo’s caliber to probe its mysterious and emotional depths.
