CityMusic Cleveland Chamber Concert, Bartok and Needham

CityMusic Cleveland is a professional chamber orchestra founded to perform free concerts throughout Northeast Ohio.

In celebration of the United States’ 250th anniversary, our 2026 season honors American music in its broadest sense, spanning the works of composers who have shaped American musical history. Programming includes American classics like Appalachian Spring and Knoxville: Summer of 1915, works by immigrant composers such as Antonín Dvořák and Erich Wolfgang Korngold, and compositions by Black American composers like George Walker, Julia Perry, and John Coltrane. We will also celebrate Cleveland artists, return to commissions from our Women’s Suffrage series, and feature composers who redefined American music, including Philip Glass and John Cage
