The Cleveland Orchestra at Severance Hall
Last night, I went to Severance Hall to see our world famous Cleveland Orchestra. The program consisted of Schubert’s Symphony No. 3 in D Major and Act 1 of Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet.
I found out reading the program that Welder-Most, our current music director, has a important relationship with Schubert and his music. As a teen, he was in a car accident on the 150th anniversary of Schubert’s death traveling from one Schubert performance to another. He was training to be a violinist at the time. That accident ended his career as a violinist. Thankfully he survived and went on to become the world class conductor he is.
There will be another Schubert-Prokofiev concert in March.
Here are some pictures I took of Severance Hall and the Orchestra.

Hello all!
My name is Kathryn. I live in suburban Cleveland. I have 2 cats, who are my kids. I work in early childhood education, specializing in infants at a local childcare center. I’ve also worked with preschoolers and school aged kids there. I used to be an ESL teacher in South Korea.
I love to bake. My coworkers get to be my taste testers. I enjoy coloring, and I even participate in a coloring Meet Up group. I’m a fan of all kinds of music, but country is my favorite. I started taking a tap class at a local dance studio. Ginger Rogers, I’m not. But I’m holding my own after *mumble years* away from it.
My kitties, Gidgette and Ivory, are my favorite models for my photography. I play around with photo editors to create what I call “Works of Art”. I’m not very good at it, but I do it anyway.

Was that your first time at Severance Hall? Isn’t it a beautiful concert hall?
Our orchestra is a treasure. On my recent trip to visit my cousins in Switzerland, I took some CDs of the orchestra as gifts for them. They knew of our orchestra. It is world famous.

It wasn’t my first time, but I think the last time I was there I was in elementary school. So….. a few years.
