Cleveland Orchestra moving Saturday’s concert due to smoke

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - The Cleveland Orchestra is relocating its concert on Saturday from Blossom Music Center to Severance Music Center as air quality remains a concern in the region due to the Canadian wildfires.

The performance will feature the same program and artists, with Semyon Bychkov conducting Brahms’s Symphony No. 4 and Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No. 1, featuring violinist Karen Gomyo.

Tickets issued for the July 18 Blossom Music Center performance will be honored at Severance Music Center.

Seating will be general admission, and Lawn Ticket Book vouchers will also be accepted. Patrons unable to attend the concert at Severance should contact the Severance Music Center Ticket Office via email at boxoffice@clevelandorchestra.com by July 24, 2026, to exchange to a different concert, donate their ticket for a tax credit, or receive a refund. Blossom parking hangtags will be honored in Lot 29, adjacent to Severance Music Center.
