CLEVELAND, Ohio – The traditional Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration Concert isn’t the only musical casualty of the omicron variant. The virus also has quashed the Cleveland Orchestra’s plans in South Florida.
On Monday, citing the pandemic and the risks associated with travel and gathering, the orchestra announced the cancellation of its entire 2022 Miami residency, which had included two weeks of programs at the Arsht Center in Miami as well as concerts in West Palm Beach and Naples. This is the second year in a row the orchestra has canceled in South Florida due to COVID-19.
