Carnegie Hall

(NEW YORK, NY; March 6, 2025)—Carnegie Hall today announced that, due to personal reasons, soprano Asmik Grigorian must regrettably cancel her upcoming performances with Franz Welser-Mōst and The Cleveland Orchestra, including her New York appearance on Tuesday, March 18 at 8:00 p.m. in Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage. The orchestra’s updated program on March 18 will include Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 and Leonore Overture No. 3 in addition to Janáček’s Suite from From the House of the Dead (arr. František Jílek). The Cleveland Orchestra’s March 19 program—including music by Stravinsky and Tchaikovsky—will remain the same.

"This program change has given us a chance to say something important about our world today. As people fight for freedom everywhere, these pieces tell that same human story. Beethoven's Fifth shows us the journey from darkness to light. Janáček's From the House of the Dead reveals how human dignity survives even in the most desolate of circumstances. And the Leonore Overture is, to me, simply the greatest music about freedom ever written. These works together create a profound statement that I believe will resonate deeply with our audiences in both Cleveland and New York,” said Mr. Welser-Möst.

As previously announced, Asmik Grigorian will join Franz Welser-Möst and The Cleveland Orchestra as soloist in Verdi’s Requiem at Carnegie Hall next season.
