The Cleveland Orchestra, conducted by Music Director Franz Welser-Möst, visited Oberlin Tuesday night to play an all-Beethoven concert in Finney Chapel featuring pieces like the Coriolan Overture and Symphony No. 5 in C Minor. The Cleveland Orchestra’s visit to Oberlin is a cornerstone of the Artist Recital Series, and comes mere weeks after Oberlin Conservatory students joined members of the Cleveland Orchestra, Credo Music, and Cleveland Institute of Music students to play a benefit concert to raise money for hurricane relief. This year, the Cleveland Orchestra is celebrating its centennial season.
