The Cleveland Orchestra & violinist Itzhak Perlman

Some of us will be arriving around 5 p.m. for picnicking before the concert start time at 7 p.m. You are allowed to bring your own food and beverage including wine and beer for Cleveland Orchestra concerts only. We will be seated down low on the lawn center to stage. Chairs must be low "beach type chairs" so not to block people's view. You can rent chairs there too. Cost: $5 each. \*\*If you order tickets online, be sure to go to the official Cleveland Orchestra web site for the best pricing at: www.clevelandorchestra.com** I believe tickets are $29.00 each if purchased the day of the show at the gate. You can buy a book of ten tickets for $200.00 which comes out to $20.00 per ticket. If anyone has extra tickets, you are welcome to post in the comment section to sell. The Whynot's has been attending these concerts at Blossom over the years, and it makes for a wonderful summer evening. 9 out 10 recommend attending. In my opinion. Hope you can all share in this special event. ## Details ### Repertoire & Performing Artists * BEETHOVEN Romance No. 1 * BEETHOVEN Romance No. 2 * BEETHOVEN Overture to *Egmont* * BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 7 * The Cleveland Orchestra welcomes back legendary violinist Itzhak Perlman, who headlines an all-Beethoven program at Blossom Music Center.
