The Cleveland Orchestra and Music Director Franz Welser-Möst are on their 15th international concert tour and 7th biennial Vienna Residency together performing 12 concerts in 10 cities October 15 to 31. The tour will see Welser-Möst and the Orchestra in a number of Europe’s premier concert halls, including their debut performance at the new Philharmonie de Paris, in programs including works by Messiaen, Richard Strauss, Mahler, and Verdi that explore themes of faith, nature, and transcendence. Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 with Radu Lupu and Mozart’s Symphony No. 41 “Jupiter” complete the tour programs.

Joela Jones is the featured soloist, playing the piano solo on Messian's "Couleurs de la cité céleste." She spoke with Angela Mitchell from the orchestra's hotel in Luxembourg.
