CLEVELAND (WJW) — So you’re saying you can see the Cleveland Orchestra for free this week outside, and you don’t have to travel to Blossom Music Center?
The much-lauded orchestra is taking to Wade Oval Wednesdays (University Circle’s free concert series that runs through Aug. 14) with a lineup of well-loved tunes conducted by Vinay Parameswaran, who was previously an associate conductor with the group.
