Founded in 1918 by Adella Prentiss Hughes, The Cleveland Orchestra is a world-renowned ensemble known for virtuosity, elegant sound, and artistic excellence under Franz Welser-Möst.
Maurice Ravel, a French composer of Swiss-Basque descent, is celebrated for his meticulous craftsmanship and brilliant orchestration. Though associated with Impressionism, his style incorporated modernism, neoclassicism, and jazz. His iconic works include Boléro, Daphnis et Chloé, and Pavane pour une infante défunte. He notably orchestrated Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition and collaborated with figures like Diaghilev and Rubinstein. Ravel declined the Légion d'Honneur, solidifying his independent spirit.
Karina Canellakis, renowned conductor, leads the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic, and is a principal guest conductor for both the London Philharmonic and RSB.
Pianist Yuja Wang, born in Beijing, is acclaimed for her dynamic style and virtuosic performances. Renowned for Russian music, she has played with top orchestras globally, is known for chic stage fashion, and has collaborated with cellist Gautier Capuçon. Wang frequently releases albums on Deutsche Grammophon.
Richard Strauss, born in Munich, Germany, was a leading late Romantic and early Modern German composer and conductor. Renowned for his tone poems, including *Also sprach Zarathustra*, and operas like *Der Rosenkavalier*, he mastered orchestral and vocal composition. Strauss collaborated notably with librettist Hugo von Hofmannsthal. He was also a successful conductor of orchestras and director of opera houses.
