![Day 93/100
Severance Hall
This is the home of the famous Cleveland Orchestra - one of the top 5 in the country (and some say the world!) It’s located on Euclid right in between the Wade museum cluster and Case campus. Lucky Case students get to walk past this everyday! I’ve been here twice to hear Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and Handel’s Messiah. I really like this little Wikipedia blurb:
“Cleveland is the smallest city amongst the traditional “Big Five” orchestras; the others are based in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago. However, musicians in Cleveland are often treated as local celebrities, and, much like sports heroes elsewhere, fans seek autographs after performances and greet musicians on the street. Clevelanders are proud that their city boasts an orchestra rated on par with or above those in much larger cities.[4][5] In the 1960s fans were known to “have airport rallies when the orchestra comes home from tour [and] chant, ‘We’re the best! We’re the best!’ and carry placards reading ‘Bravo!’” [4]”
(You’ll notice that I skipped Day 92 - I just realized that I counted Day 47 twice. Whoops, but what a nice surprise!)](../../tumblr_lrvy9j15Ql1qjrf0xo1_r1_500.jpg)
Here's how juliaincleveland.etsy.com sees Severance Hall. Beautiful, right? It's from Day 93 of a 100-day drawing quest around Cleveland. See more here.
