Where to begin?
My wife and I went to see the Cleveland Orchestra at Severance Hall recently. I haven't been to Severance Hall but once, and that was during a fourth grade field trip. So I've been looking forward to visiting again for quite some time.
Severance Hall is just beautiful. You have to see it! The architecture and marble finishes are just amazing. And the theater, astounding! It's worth the $100 or so that you pay for a decent seat, but then again, I don't think there is a bad seat in this house.
The Cleveland Orchestra has an amazing sound, especially when playing at Severance Hall. I enjoy listening to classical music and to see it live is just a heavenly experience for me.
During our visit, Jun Märkl was the guest conductor, and Leonidas Kavakos was the guest violinist. Both were awesome at their respective crafts. Leonidas played with no music sheets the entire time, which was very impressive.
I hope to visit more often.
