“There’s one orchestra, from the U.S. heartland, that critics say just might be our nation’s finest.” – NPR
The Cleveland Orchestra in Miami kicks off its Arsht Center residency with the grandeur of Strauss’ An Alpine Symphony. The orchestra takes you on a majestic journey through nature in spellbinding relief. From the beauty of the mountains, the serenity of meadows, and the awe of a thunderstorm, this is a sensory journey like no other.
Did you know?
This is nature’s grand overture. Among the woodwinds, brass and strings, you’ll find a Scotch glass, a cartoonish mash-up of slide whistle and paddle board called a flexatone, a heckelphone and thunder and wind machines — all clues of the dramatic intensity ahead.
When deployed, these instruments breathe life into an imaginary fairyland, accompany a harrowing alpine assent, and summon an earthshaking storm and a painfully intimate farewell to a sunken world. In short, this isn’t your normal night at the symphony.
