The program will include past recordings of concerts and recent interviews with Cleveland Orchestra Music Director, Franz Welser-Möst and other orchestra musicians.
“For more than a hundred years, The Cleveland Orchestra has been part of this community, through thick and thin, from wartime to peace, in moments of sadness and triumph,” said André Gremillet, President & CEO of The Cleveland Orchestra. “Although much has changed in our daily lives and routines in recent weeks, the Musicians, Music Director Franz Welser-Möst, and all of us at The Cleveland Orchestra remain deeply committed to the people of our great community. Music can lift spirits and inspire hope for the future. While we cannot offer live performances at this time, we can and will share our music and do everything we can to help make the world a better place. Through our longtime partnership with ideastream, we’re privileged to offer the people of Northeast Ohio — and listeners online — a new musical interlude each day called Lunchtime with The Cleveland Orchestra."
In addition to their lunch program, the Orchestra has been updating their social media channels with past performances and new live performances from their musician's homes. You can visit their Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube for updates and videos. They'll also be continuing their regularly scheduled concerts on WCLV on Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. and Sundays at 4:00 p.m.
