The Cleveland Orchestra: John Adams & Conrad Tao at Severance Music Center
What do a sharp-edged theater suite, a jazz-tinged piano concerto, and John Adams's own music have in common? On this Cleveland program, they become one lively conversation—and Conrad Tao is right in the middle of it.
John Adams doesn’t bring a polite concert program to Cleveland — he brings one with bite, color, and personality. At Severance Music Center, this date puts Weill, Copland, and Adams on one stage, which means a performance shaped by American sound in more than one form: cabaret edge, jazzy shimmer, and Adams’s own kaleidoscopic voice.
Conrad Tao gives the outing its focal point in Copland’s Piano Concerto, a piece that can move from sly rhythm to wide-open lyricism without losing its snap. That pairing matters because it turns the concert into more than a conductor showcase; it gives the audience a soloist with a distinct musical identity at the center of the program.
