The entire cello section will perform an arrangement of Feierliches Stück from Richard Wagner’s opera, Lohengrin. For the grand finale, the TCO cellists will be joined by The Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra cellists for a massed performance of the rarely-heard Hymnus, Julius Klengel’s 12-part composition.
