The Cleveland Orchestra: Santtu-Matias Rouvali - Strauss
The Cleveland Orchestra: Santtu-Matias Rouvali - Strauss at Severance Music Center
A saxophone soloist and Strauss's sweeping orchestral drama. This is not a one-note Thursday.
Steven Banks features in Billy Childs's Diaspora: Concerto for Saxophone, sharing the program with Richard Strauss's Ein Heldenleben. Santtu-Matias Rouvali leads The Cleveland Orchestra through both. The pairing gives you two ways into the evening: the focused personality of a solo instrument and the broad musical world of Strauss.
The Cleveland performance is November 19, 2026, 7:30 PM at Severance Music Center. At Severance, the difference between those experiences becomes something you hear unfolding, not a description you read in a program. Follow Banks's saxophone; then let the orchestra fill the hall with Strauss. If one composition brought you here, the other gives you a reason to stay curious.
