So what could be better than being right down the street from the number 1 orchestra in the world? Being right down the street and getting the latest information through their official blog! As musicians teaching at or attending Case Western Reserve University, we cannot take for granted the world-class orchestra that just happens to permanently reside on campus. We have the opportunity of seeing this group live, attending their rehearsals, listening to them on WCLV, and so much more. It would only make sense that we be aware of their latest activities!
Naturally, this blog follows the major activities of the orchestra and its music director, Franz Welser-Most. As Welser-Most is an international figure with two of the most important jobs in the world (Music Director of the Cleveland Orchestra and the Vienna Opera), he also frequently makes guest conducting appearences all over the world. In the latest blog entry, the author describes how Welser-Most is in England conducting at the Proms. It provides information as to the repertoire he conducts, as well as links to live and archived performances.

You could be a spokesman for this site. :) Followers of this blog may be interested in a link to the Cleveland Orchestra blog that you're advertising. I'm interested to know if they ever post information about the children concert series that they do throughout the school year.
