“The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts has released its 2014-15 schedules for both its Classical Series and the Cleveland Orchestra’s programs at the downtown Miami center,” writes Lawrence A. Johnson in Wednesday’s (3/12) South Florida Classical Review. “Five orchestras will come to Miami during the season, beginning in November with Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony performing works by Prokofiev, Liszt, Ravel and Samuel Carl Adams. Also scheduled are Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra in works by Shchedrin, Mussorgsky, and Tchaikovsky; the Danish National Symphony Orchestra and Rafael Fruhbeck de Burgos, performing Nielsen’s Symphony No. 4 (“The Inextinguishable”) and several works by Sibelius; and Keith Lockhart and the BBC Orchestra in music by Vaughan Williams, George Butterworth, Dvorák, and Shostakovich. “The Cleveland Orchestra will again present four weeks of music in Miami next season. Giancarlo Guerrero will open the season Nov. 14-15 with a pops-style serving of symphonic showpieces including Tchaikovsky’s Capriccio italien, Respighi’s Fountains of Rome and Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio espagnol…. Franz Welser-Möst will lead three programs in a series titled ‘Fate and Freedom,’ spotlighting music of Beethoven, Shostakovich and Mahler…. Guerrero will wrap the season” in March with Orff’s Carmina Burana and Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms.
