Summer in Vienna

Cleveland Orchestra Music Director Franz Welser-Möst brings the tradition of outdoor Viennese summer concerts to Northeast Ohio in an evening of drama and elegance. Mozart’s festive Symphony No. 34 and excerpts from Richard Strauss’s pastoral opera Daphne capture the beginning and end of the golden age of Viennese music. The rest of the program features sentimental stage music, boisterous polkas, and lively waltzes by Johann Strauss, Jr., and his younger brother, Josef.
