The Cleveland Museum of Art's acclaimed VIVA! & Gala Around Town concert series welcomes The Swedish Chamber Orchestra with conductor and music director Thomas Dausgaard and pianist Piotr Anderszewski on April 2, 2008 at Severance Hall.

Founded in 1995, The Swedish Chamber Orchestra has quickly established itself as one of today?s most fascinating ensembles, praised for its fresh sound and vital approach. With just 38 members, the tightly knit ensemble has an extensive discography which includes the complete orchestral works of Beethoven as well as recordings of Schumann, Dvooak, and Bruckner, among others.

Polish-Hungarian pianist Piotr Anderszewski joins The Swedish Chamber Orchestra in a program of works by Beethoven and Schumann under the baton of conductor and music director Thomas Dausgaard. Dausgaard and his musicians are renowned for their dynamic interpretations of traditional chamber orchestra classics as well as repertoire that is normally considered more within the realm of a full-size symphony orchestra. -- www.clevelandart.org
