Beethoven's Seventh

The Cleveland Orchestra first performed Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 100 years ago, on Nov. 2, 1919, under the baton of Nikolai Sokoloff. Tonight at 7:30 at Severance Hall, with Jaap van Zweden conducting, the orchestra will give it another go. The concert will also include pieces by Louis Andreissen and Prokofiev. A pre-concert preview takes place an hour prior to the performance. During it, guest speaker Rabbi Roger C. Klein will discuss Beethoven's masterpiece. The program repeats at 8 tomorrow night and at 8 on Saturday night. Consult the orchestra website for ticket prices. (Niesel)
