Acclaimed pianist Emanuel Ax returns to Blossom for an evening of Viennese charm and musical elegance, featuring a concerto by Mozart along with a collection of colorful pieces from the Central European classical tradition.

The Cleveland Orchestra comes to the stage at 8 p.m. for Beethoven's Coriolanus Overture plus the concerto.

Sunday, July 29 at 7 p.m.: Time for Three
Self-described as a "classically trained garage band," the intriguing trio Time for Three brings a blend of bluegrass fiddling, jazz, and the occasional hip-hop riff into an exciting mixture of sound and energy. Returning after their Blossom debut in 2008, Time for Three offers a special up-step to what is sure to be an unforgettable Sunday evening concert.

Saturday, Aug. 4 at 8 p.m.: Romeo and Juliet
The Cleveland Orchestra welcomes Conductor James Gaffigan and Daniil Trifonov on piano for Wagner's Prelude to Act III of Tristan and Isolde, Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1 and Suite from Romeo and Juliet by Prokofiev.
