World-Class Music

Every summer at Blossom Music Center, the Cleveland Orchestra provides listeners with opportunities to hear world-class music in a beautiful outdoor setting. The Blossom Music Festival continues this weekend with two programs. Tonight at 8, Asher Fisch conducts the orchestra in Richard Wagner’s Overture to the Flying Dutchman, Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 and Felix Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto with guest soloist Isabelle Faust. Tomorrow night at 7, Jack Everly will conduct an out-of-this-world performance of your favorite tunes from sci-fi films and television. The concert will feature George Takei, best known for playing Sulu on the original Star Trek TV series and six movies that followed, and will also feature soprano soloist Kristen Plumley and the men of the Blossom Festival Chorus. Tickets to each concert range from $23 to $85. (Gonzalez)
