Live in Cleveland
The Cleveland Orchestra: John Adams & Conrad Tao
The Cleveland Orchestra: John Adams & Conrad Tao at Severance Music Center
A composer conducting his own music changes the stakes. John Adams brings that firsthand perspective to Severance, while Conrad Tao takes on Copland's jazz-edged piano concerto. It's American music with personality, not a polite museum tour.
John Adams leads Adams & Tao at Severance Music Center, bringing his own voice into a program that reaches from Weill’s sly theater energy to Roy Harris’s Third Symphony and Copland’s Piano Concerto. That mix matters. It turns one performance in Cleveland into a fast-moving survey of color, rhythm, and character rather than a routine orchestral program. The Cleveland Orchestra itself notes Adams’s long artistic partnership with the ensemble, which gives this date a sense of history as well as freshness.
Some concerts are about hearing a familiar masterpiece. This one is about hearing American orchestral style in motion.
