Thursday night at Severance Music Center, Verdi’s Requiem with The Cleveland Orchestra and Chorus was an experience that left the hall buzzing. The choir’s entrance hit like a bolt of lightning, and the soloists—especially Asmik Grigorian—brought real depth and stamina to every note. What stood out most was the perfect balance between drama and reverence; the loudest moments were controlled, and the quietest ones drew you in. The offstage trumpets and haunting percussion made the whole performance feel almost cinematic. Anyone else feel like this was one of the most moving concerts Cleveland’s had in ages? #Entertainment #Music #ClevelandOrchestra
