The Cleveland Orchestra announces details of the 16th year of its Miami residency in partnership with the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County. Spanning three weeks during the 2022-23 season, it includes concerts at the Arsht Center on January 20 and 21, and January 27 and 28, 2023 with Music Director Franz Welser-Möst and performances on November 4 and 5, 2022 with conductor Michael Tilson Thomas. The residency also includes education initiatives and community programming for Miami-Dade County School students.

All concerts at the Adrienne Arsht Center take place at the John S. and James L. Knight Concert Hall. The Adrienne Arsht Center has been the presenting partner of the Orchestra’s Miami concerts since the annual residency began in 2007. Details of the Arsht Center performances and programs are included below.

Franz Welser-Möst will lead four performances at the Arsht Center over two weekends in January 2023. The first weekend’s program features symphonic masterworks Schubert’s Symphony No. 8 (“Unfinished”) and Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6 (“Pathétique”). The second weekend’s concerts feature Tchaikovsky’s violin concerto with Lisa Batiashvili, Respighi’s Roman Festivals, and the Miami premiere of Bernd Richard Deutsch’s Intensity (which was co-commissioned by The Cleveland Orchestra).

Michael Tilson Thomas will lead performances at the Arsht Center on November 4 and 5 featuring New World Symphony Fellows performing with the Orchestra. The program will include Varèse’s Arcana, Debussy’s Fantaisie for Piano and Orchestra with George Li, and Ravel’s Suite No. 2 from Daphnis and Chloé.

New World Symphony Partnership

The Cleveland Orchestra and New World Symphony (America’s Orchestra Academy based in Miami Beach), will begin with the 2022-23 season a partnership that includes side-by-side concerts at the Arsht Center (November 4 and 5), chamber music performances, collaboration on digital content, as well as professional development and mentoring activities.

“The Cleveland Orchestra’s commitment to the vibrant Miami community remains strong after more than 15 years, and we could not be more pleased to be adding back a third week of activities starting in 2022-23,” said André Gremillet, President & CEO of The Cleveland Orchestra. “We are very fortunate to have the Arsht Center as a valued and supportive partner for our performances in the superb Knight Concert Hall. The new collaboration with the New World Symphony, America’s Orchestral Academy, will add another dimension to the residency as we will build on what is already a strong relationship between our two institutions. We’re grateful for our deeply loyal patrons in Miami and in Florida who make this residency possible.”
