“The Cleveland Orchestra is introducing an ‘Under 18s Free’ program to its January-March Miami residency that will allow paying customers to book seats for youngsters ages 8 to 17 at no charge,” reads an unsigned article in Friday’s (12/13) Miami Herald. “The audience-building initiative, which has been a hit for the orchestra in Ohio, provides one free ticket per regular-priced adult admission and must be arranged through the Adrienne Arsht Center box office. The orchestra launches its 2014 residency Jan. 24-25 with a program of Schubert, Korngold, Josef Strauss and Johann Strauss Jr. led by music director Franz Welser-Möst and featuring violinist Gil Shaham. On Jan. 31-Feb. 1, Möst and the orchestra return with baritone Simon Keenlyside in works by Richard Strauss, Debussy and Stravinsky.”
