On Friday at Noon, CIM Museum Melodies, brings one-hour programs featuring pianists from the Cleveland Institute of Music to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. Tonight at 7:30, the Oberlin Contemporary Music Ensemble makes its first appearance this season under conductor Timothy Weiss in Warner Concert Hall. Same day and time, the temporarily venueless Cleveland Institute of Music Orchestra visits John Hay High School Auditorium with guest conductor Anthony Parnther.
On Saturday at 7, led by Domenico Boyagian, the Suburban Symphony joins the Cleveland Chorale at First Baptist Church, and at 7:30 in E.J. Thomas Hall, the Akron Symphony will host pianist Gabriela Martinez. Same day and hour, conductor and Oberlin alum James Feddeck leads the Oberlin Orchestra in Finney Chapel. And Saturday at half past 7, The Cleveland Jazz Orchestra inaugurates its “Pops” series with “Sinatra at the Coliseum: Celebrating 50 Years.”
On Sunday at 3, Osmo Vänskä (pictured) and The Cleveland Orchestra repeat last Thursday’s program at Severance Music Center, and the rescheduled “Evening With John Legend” — interrupted by storms in August — will try again at Blossom (but without The Cleveland Orchestra).
