A Message from the Director

Welcome back to another season of the Silver Hall Concert Series. As you’ve noticed, you are reading this on your mobile device instead of a printed program. That’s because technology has advanced so it’s easier, more efficient, and environmentally friendly to reach you this way. These same adjectives can be applied to the Maltz Center and the Silver Hall Concert Series.

The Maltz Center is now easier than ever to access with the completion of the Opportunity Corridor, the new gateway to University Circle! Our series of free concerts and free parking make it as simple and efficient as possible to come and enjoy the variety of music we host. As for environmentally friendly, the restoration of The Temple-Tifereth Israel to this world class concert hall has sparked a construction boom in University Circle bringing more and more people to a neighborhood already filled with art, music and culture.

The Silver Hall Concert Series will continue for years to come because Cleveland is a treasure chest of musical talent. Musicians from around the world settle here because of your welcoming embrace of their work. Cleveland also fosters its own homegrown talent with community orchestras and ensembles that organize for the love of music and playing an instrument. We are a community that wants to cultivate talent; applaud and support artistic endeavors; and enjoy musical performances side-by-side with each other.

As you enjoy this performance, I ask you to think about two things: One, how lucky we are to be here, enjoying this performance at the Maltz Center; and Two, who can I bring with me to the next event?
