Cleveland Chamber Symphony
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cleveland Chamber Symphony is an American chamber orchestra based in Cleveland, Ohio. It is dedicated to the performance of contemporary classical music, and has presented over 170 premieres.
The orchestra was established in 1980 by former conductor Edwin London. It was formerly based at Cleveland State University but is now based at the Baldwin-Wallace Conservatory of Music. It is led by Artistic Director Steven Smith.
Its Public Commissioning Initiative allows the public to contribute funds toward the creation of new works, and will sponsor a new composition by Marta Ptaszynska, to be premiered in 2008.
In 2007 the group won a Grammy Award in the Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Soloist(s) Performance (with orchestra) category, for its recording of Olivier Messiaen's Oiseaux exotiques.
