JÖRG WIDMANN Fanfare for Ten Brass Instruments JÖRG WIDMANN Con brio JÖRG WIDMANN Danse macabre (US Premiere) MENDELSSOHN Symphony No. 5, “Reformation” Jörg Widmann, a former Daniel R. Lewis Composer Fellow with The Cleveland Orchestra, makes a winning return to Severance to conduct three of his own works — including the US premiere of his wildly propulsive Danse macabre — alongside Mendelssohn’s “Reformation” Symphony, a treasure of the composer’s youth that ends with a stately fantasy on a famous chorale by Martin Luther.
