Blossom Music Center, home of the Cleveland Orchestra's summer residency, is an internationally acclaimed venue that attracts some of the top names in music each year. Beyond hosting its own performances by world-famous orchestra members, concerts and events spanning rock, country, pop and classical genres are hosted at this world-class amphitheater that holds up to 19,200 at any one show! With pavilion and general-admission lawn seating areas that combine to accommodate 19,200 seats at any one time.

Blossom has welcomed over 21 million visitors since it first opened, and hosts an array of popular musical performers each season. As part of a long-term contract with an orchestra, summer calendar events at Blossom alternate between classical performances and popular genre concerts.

Before designing the Blossom Music Center, architect Peter Van Dijk visited Ravinia - summer home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra - for inspiration. He took into account its natural slope and clam-like shape which would help improve acoustics within the venue. By studying successful amphitheater designs, Van Dijk created an innovative structure that fit harmoniously within its landscape while remaining visually appealing.
