The world famous Cleveland Orchestra recently paid a visit close to home - just down the street at two Cleveland high schools - a first since 1921. Led by Music Director Franz Welser-Most, the concerts were part of the orchestra's goal to keep kids interested in music. The concert at Rhodes High School included musical numbers by the string, woodwind and brass sections of the orchestra, plus a world premier of a piece written just for the occasion called "Perpetual Motion for Four Diverse Snare Drums.”
