The Cleveland Orchestra: John Adams & Conrad Tao
The Cleveland Orchestra: John Adams & Conrad Tao at Severance Music Center
A piano concerto that swings, music with theatrical bite, and an orchestra that can make every color count: John Adams and Conrad Tao have a lot more in store than a standard symphony night.
American orchestral music gets sharp edges, swing, and surprise in Adams & Tao. John Adams leads a program that opens with Weill’s sly The Threepenny Opera suite, moves through Copland’s jazz-leaning Piano Concerto, and brings Roy Harris’s Symphony No. 3 into the same evening as Adams’s own Slonimsky’s Earbox.
That lineup matters because it gives you more than one shade of modern American sound. Weill brings theater and bite. Copland brings brightness and rhythmic lift. Harris adds scale. Adams brings the kind of invention that has kept his music in conversation with listeners for decades. The Cleveland Orchestra’s own history with Adams goes back to 1987, so this is a program shaped by real artistic familiarity, not a one-off guest appearance. Explore the event details
