In its annual collaboration with the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Chorus, the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra opens this concert with a new piece by American composer (and DJ!) Mason Bates. The remainder of the program features two French choral works — lush and beautiful — with the women of chorus singing in Claude Debussy's Nocturnes and the full chorus (and soprano soloist) joining in for Francis Poulenc's passionate and effervescent Gloria.
The evening also includes a pre-concert Prelude Concert at 6 p.m. featuring Youth Orchestra and Youth Chorus members performing chamber music.
