Joining Pacific Symphony for its Classical Series celebrating American composers is the Duke Ellington Orchestra. Known for its style, elegance and sophistication, the classic big band has continued to honor the jazz legend's legacy by performing his work throughout the world for eight decades. According to The Boston Globe, "in the century since Duke Ellington's birth, there has been no greater composer, American or otherwise." At Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, you'll swing to Ellington standards, including "Take the 'A' Train," "Caravan," "Satin Doll" and "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)." The jazz trio of Daniel Schnyder, David Taylor and Kenny Drew Jr. will perform with the orchestra, and for the second half of the show festival composer-in-residence Schnyder will present music he has adapted from the compositions of Ellington and others. You won't miss a thing because the musicians will appear larger-than-life on the hall's big screen. Arrive early for a Preview Talk with KUSC personality Alan Chapman. Learn More

Written on Apr 28 2012This was the most amazing performance by my favorite symphony in the world. Don't ever miss the chance to hear them. What was totally embarassing was the way the Pacific Symphony representative introduced these musicians and the orchestra. He said "oh yeah, you, too, welcome guys." I am not kidding. The best orchestra in the world is on stage, and that is all he can come up with? I was embarassed to be associated with Pacific Symphony and the Philharmonic Society. Get someone else to introduce guest orchestras, for goodness sake! Shameful!

Written on Apr 18 2012The Cleveland Smyphony lived up to its reputation.The Finnih composer's piece was quite strange to my ears, but hearing it ONCE was a broadening esperience. Either of the other symphonies were alonean evening well spent!

Written on Apr 18 2012Only attended the last part on Shashtakovitch piece which was played beautifully. Very enthusiastic audience that gave standing ovation in hopes of encore that did not happen.

Written on Apr 18 2012The Cleveland orchestra is amazing and it was well orchestrated by Maestro Franz Welser-Most. This is the first time that I can remember that there wasn't a soloist, the evening consisted of three symphonies, two of which were by composers that were familiar.

Concurrently with his post in Cleveland, Franz Welser-Möst became General Music Director of the Vienna State Opera in September 2010. In July 2011, the Bruckner Society of America awarded him the Julio Kilenyi Medal of Honor, due to his long-standing advocacy of the music of Bruckner.
The 2011-12 season marks the tenth year of the Orchestra's partnership with Franz Welser-Möst. Together they have earned the orchestra unprecedented residencies in the United States and in Europe, including a biennial residency at the prestigious Musikverein concert hall in Vienna—the first of its kind by an American orchestra.
