The Cleveland Orchestra
with Franz Welser-Möst, conductor
Friday, March 25, 2011, 8 p.m.
Under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst, the Cleveland Orchestra returns for an encore Artist Recital Series 2010-11 season performance with an offering of Anton Bruckner's monumental 7th symphony.

Hailed by Time magazine for its unrivaled combination of “virtuosic technique, consummate ensemble playing and rich, burnished tone,” this will be a demonstration-type concert in which maestro Welser-Möst will address the audience and showcase various instruments within the orchestra.

James Ehnes, violin
Tuesday, April 26, 2011, 8 p.m.
At age 11, Canadian violinist James Ehnes gained national recognition as the Grand Prize winner in Strings at the Canadian Music Competition; since then, he has hardly stopped performing. His quietly confident technique and complex musical interpretations have taken him to four continents, playing with dozens of the top ensembles, conductors, and musicians in the world, and his recordings span from Bach to Paganini to John Adams. At Oberlin, he'll be performing on his 1715 Stradivarius.
