Cleveland-In-Florida – Some Mixed Feelings

In Miami there are mixed feelings about a deal that will make the Cleveland Orchestra the resident orchestra of the region’s major new performing arts center. Cleveland is one of the world’s great orchestras. And yet, some worry that having the orchestra in residence will mean the area won’t be able to build its own orchestra. “It’s a shame that the hall was built for the local musicians and they’re not getting a chance to use it. Obviously, the musicians who were in the Florida Philharmonic would like to be playing in the hall that was built for them.”
