Franz Welser-Möst makes early return

Franz Welser-Möst makes early return

A welcome message from the Cleveland Orchestra:

The Cleveland Orchestra is pleased to announce that Music Director Franz Welser-Möst will return to Cleveland earlier than expected to lead an additional subscription week on February 27-28 and March 1.

Following his medical leave in the fall, we welcome Franz back to the podium for this extended period, which includes the Orchestra’s performances at Carnegie Hall on March 18-19 and culminates in an all-Tchaikovsky program featuring Yuja Wang at Mandel Concert Hall on March 22-23.

Alan Gilbert, who was scheduled to conduct these subscription concerts, has graciously offered to relinquish the week to give his friend Franz Welser-Möst and the Orchestra more time together this season. Alan has long and deep ties with The Cleveland Orchestra, and we look forward to the resumption of his regular appearances at Severance Music Center soon.
