Internationally acclaimed conductor Maestro Grzegorz Nowak will lead the string orchestra of The Cleveland Opera in this unforgettable adventure.

The two pillars of the program will comprise Mozart's beloved Eine kleine Nachtmusik, composed in 1787, and the remarkable Serenade for String Orchestra by Mieczysław Karłowicz, composed in 1897.

As Daniel Doty, tenor, and Dorota Sobieska, soprano, join in, the offering will be enhanced with operatic selections from W.A. Mozart, Giuseppe Verdi, and Giacomo Puccini.

The world premiere of a composition by Konrad Binienda will complete the event with a special touch of inspiration.
