Jörg Widmann, a former Daniel R. Lewis Composer Fellow with The Cleveland Orchestra, makes a winning return to Severance to conduct three of his own works — including the US premiere of his wildly propulsive Danse macabre — alongside Mendelssohn's 'Reformation' Symphony, a treasure of the composer's youth that ends with a stately fantasy on a famous chorale by Martin Luther. There will be a concert preview presentation one hour prior to the performance in Reinberger Chamber Hall with Caroline Oltmanns, Professor of Piano, Youngstown State University.
