Cleveland Orchestra to accompany Joffrey Ballet at Blossom Music Center

By Zachary Lewis

As live accompaniment for dance goes, Chicago-based Joffrey Ballet couldn't ask for better than the Cleveland Orchestra.

Assistant conductor Tito Muñoz presides over the event, the first of its kind at Blossom Music Center since the 1988 season. Joffrey itself last visited Blossom in 1979.

Between the four works on the program, Muñoz and the orchestra will have their hands full surveying a broad range of music including works by Henry Cowell, Aram Khachaturian, Johann Strauss and Malloy Miller, as well as Baroque figures Arcangelo Corelli and Johann Mayer.

Last but not least, they'll perform music from the classic Richard Rodgers score to "Carousel."
