On January 23 and 24 The Cleveland Orchestra--celebrating its 100th birthday this season--makes its 223rd and 224th appearances at Carnegie Hall.  Under longtime music director Franz Welser-Möst, they give the first New York performance of Johannes Maria Staud's Stromab, which they premiere a few weeks earlier in Cleveland, and Mahler's Symphony No. 9. Staud, who was The Cleveland Orchestra's Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer Fellow many years ago, has taken Algernon Blackwood's horror story “The Willows” as his inspiration. The second program is Haydn's The Seasons, with the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus, soprano Golda Schultz, tenor Maximillian Schmitt, and baritone Thomas Hampson.
