Cleveland Orchestra Miami serves Miami-Dade with an array of musical presentations including a series of subscription concerts, education programs, and community engagement activities - touching the lives of more than 20,000 children, students, and adults each year. Under the leadership of a Miami-based not-for-profit board of directors, Cleveland Orchestra Miami is supported through the generosity of music-lovers from across South Florida who believe in the power of great orchestral music for adults and young people alike. Each season of Cleveland Orchestra Miami concerts is presented in partnership with the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts.

Founded in 1918, The Cleveland Orchestra is acknowledged among the world's handful of best orchestras, with The New York Times declaring it the "best in America" in 2015. Under its current music director, Franz Welser-Möst, The Cleveland Orchestra continues to set standards of performing excellence and imaginative programming that serve as models for audiences and performers alike. In concerts and education programs in Cleveland, on tour, and in Miami, the ensemble is forging the path forward for symphonic music in the 21st century - attracting young audiences, building new partnerships with the communities it serves, and continuing its long tradition of excellence and musical inspiration.
