CLEVELAND, Ohio – The 2021 Blossom Music Festival has just received an upgrade.
With the release of new details of programs planned for this summer, the Cleveland Orchestra Monday made an already happy prospect – the return to live concerts – all the more appealing.
Nothing wrong with that Outline originally announced. However, the season presented on Monday is considerably richer, with new guest artists and more musical offers.
Among the additions: pianists Benjamin Grosvenor, Garrick Ohlsson, Jonathan Biss and Behzod Abduraimov; Violinists Stefan Jackiw and Sayaka Shoji; Main trumpet Michael Sachs; and works by Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Shostakovich, Dvorak and Shaw. See below for details.
A Cleveland Orchestra ticket wallet app was also unveiled on Monday. Tickets bought at clevelandorchestra.com is automatically displayed in the app. These can then be presented at the Blossom gates for digital, paperless access.
The app, which is now available for download, also provides updates to existing reservations and records past performances. For more information, see clevelandorchestra.com/ticketwallet.
Season tickets for $ 80 to $ 426, and custom lawn and pavilion tickets for $ 25 to $ 121, are available now. 2020 lawn ticket books will be valid from 2021 and the Free Under 18s Policy will remain in place.
