They’ll Still Call Themselves “Cleveland,” For Old Time’s Sake

The Cleveland Orchestra has always been a bit of an anomaly among America’s major orchestras, based as it is in a low-profile, mid-sized city with a history of economic problems. The challenge of maintaining one of the world’s top bands in a community that doesn’t really have the money or the population to support it has caused the ensemble to begin seeking periodic residencies away from home, notably in New York, central Europe, and beginning this year, at Miami’s new performing arts center.
