The Last Waltz
Franz Welser-Möst’s final concert as Music Director of The Cleveland Orchestra is a lively homage to the Viennese musical tradition so near and dear to his heart. The evening opens with Schubert’s pastoral Overture to Rosamunde, followed by a series of spirited dances and overtures by Lanner and the Strauss family. At the center of this swirling soirée, the world premiere of Stephan Koncz’s Czardas celebrates the signature flexibility of The Cleveland Orchestra under Welser-Möst’s baton — a fittingly festive farewell.
