A Note from the Maltz Center Director
This breathtaking venue
It’s like this wonderful secret that we really don’t want to keep. Everyone in Cleveland recognizes the Golden Dome and our building, but everyone is surprised to find out that there’s a fully modernized performing arts center under that roof. Welcome to the Maltz Performing Arts Center. We hope you share your experience with the world.
Nestled right here at the opening of the Opportunity Corridor, in the heart of University Circle, the Maltz Performing Arts Center, formerly known as Silver’s Temple, was fully renovated in 2015, in a landmark partnership between Case Western Reserve University and The Temple Tiffereth Israel, with generous support from Milton and Tamar Maltz. Since then, the growth of our community has been amazing.
Now we're entering the building's 100th year as a community gathering hub, and we're celebrating the opening of this treasured Cleveland landmark with our most expansive season of music to date. This season is a bit of a birthday celebration, but also an invitation.
As we celebrate, we do so as a continuation of the unique tradition of this beloved building: to bring together Cleveland’s diverse population with a sense of community, education, and JOY.
What better way to do that, then to come together with music?
It's a World of Music
Community
The Maltz Center offers free and low cost programming, family fare and state of the art livestreaming options, so that we can bring a world of music to our ENTIRE Cleveland community, both nearby and around the world.
Education
This season underscores the Maltz Center’s commitment to education. We will host CWRU’s Department of Music, alongside events featuring the Cleveland Institute of Music, Cleveland Youth Wind Symphony, and the Contemporary Youth Orchestra. It’s an extraordinary opportunity to support the next generation of musicians while enjoying the finest performances Cleveland has to offer.
JOY
Here we are. Welcome to our New Season!
Nine performance series’, Hundreds of events, and you
This season is the Maltz Center's most ambitious to date, offering vibrant lineups different than anything else in Cleveland. From the haunting melodies of Mongolian folk blues to the exhilarating power of your favorite movie soundtracks as performed by an 80-piece orchestra, the variety of music is simply dizzying.
The Something Different at Silver Hall series - something close to my heart - is back. The Cleveland Pride Band brings the fun all season. The Silver Hall Concert Series is bigger and better than ever and completely free. Cleveland Jazz Orchestra celebrates 40. Writers Center Stage continues with star-studded authors, and there’s more music than we’ve ever presented in one season.
With such a wide array of events, this season at the Maltz Performing Arts Center is more than just a birthday celebration for a building. It’s a celebration of the history and spirit of Cleveland. Whether you're a long-time patron, a first-time visitor, or just curious, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Welcome, and thanks so much for being a part of a very special season.
