The Cleveland Orchestra announces its 2024-25 digital season on Adella, featuring six Live from Severance concerts and nine digital premieres.
The Cleveland Orchestra has announced its 2024-25 digital season on Adella, its streaming platform and digital home.
The new season will run from September 2024 through July 2025 and consists of six Live from Severance concerts streamed in real time from Mandel Concert Hall at Severance Music Center and nine digital premieres, featuring recent digital concerts and exclusive behind-the-scenes features and interviews with guest artists and TCO musicians. The full digital season calendar is listed below.
In addition to the livestreams and digital premieres, Adella hosts the Orchestra's digital concerts library, its latest audio recordings, behind-the-scenes footage and documentaries, and educational content and videos. Exclusive archival and historical audio recording releases are also planned this season.
The 2024-25 digital season kicks off on Tuesday, September 10 at 7pm with “In Our Hands,” a digital premiere of Mahler's Fourth Symphony, led by guest conductor Daniel Harding and featuring soprano Liv Redpath. In this production, Harding takes a stroll from Severance Music Center to the Cleveland Museum of Art to view Gustav Mahler's complete, handwritten score of the monumental Second Symphony, which the Orchestra received in 2022 from International Trustee Herbert G. Kloiber. Following that visit, Harding contemplates the distinct beauty of the composer's Fourth Symphony and his profound connection to the composer's work, as well as the privilege of holding, performing, and sharing such timeless masterpieces with the audience.
On Sunday, September 22 at 3pm, the Orchestra's opening weekend performance will be broadcast live on Adella, the first of six such livestreams from Mandel Concert Hall this season. The concert features Music Director Franz Welser-Möst and his longtime artistic collaborator Frank Peter Zimmermann in R. Schumann's Violin Concerto. The program also includes Prokofiev's First Symphony, “Classical,” as well as Tchaikovsky's Sixth Symphony, “Pathétique.”

All digital programs and artists are subject to change.
The Cleveland Orchestra, under the leadership of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst since 2002, is one of the most sought-after performing ensembles in the world. Year after year, the ensemble exemplifies extraordinary artistic excellence, creative programming, and community engagement. The New York Times has called Cleveland “the best in America” for its virtuosity, elegance of sound, variety of color, and chamber-like musical cohesion.
Founded by Adella Prentiss Hughes, the Orchestra performed its inaugural concert in December 1918. By the middle of the century, decades of growth and sustained support made it one of the most admired globally. The past decade has seen an increasing number of young people attending concerts, bringing fresh attention to The Cleveland Orchestra's legendary sound and committed programming.
The 2024–25 season marks Welser-Möst's 23rd year as music director, a period in which The Cleveland Orchestra earned unprecedented acclaim around the world, including a series of residencies at the Musikverein in Vienna, the first of its kind by an American orchestra, and a number of acclaimed opera presentations.
