Brett Mitchell steps in at The Cleveland Orchestra,
receives glowing reviews
Brett Mitchell's recent last-minute subscription debuts with The Cleveland Orchestra--comprising two different programs on back-to-back evenings--garnered rave reviews by the Cleveland press, as did his final performance of the weekend with his own ensemble:
- Cultured Cleveland's review of Friday, March 7: "The star of the show was the Cleveland Orchestra’s assistant conductor, Brett Mitchell. When Franz Welser-Möst phoned in sick on Friday afternoon, it was Mitchell’s time to shine."
- Cultured Cleveland's review of Sunday, March 9: "An all-Brett Mitchell weekend at Severance Hall came to a roaring close on Sunday night with fireworks from the Cleveland Orchestra’s junior ensembles, the Youth Orchestra and Youth Chorus."
- The Plain Dealer's review, "Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra and Chorus shine in challenging program under Brett Mitchell," called Sunday's performance "compelling."
