Cleveland Women's Orchestra

During the early part of the last century, opportunities for women musicians were few. As the last of the many women’s orchestras that flourished during the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, the historic Cleveland Women’s Orchestra is the oldest women’s orchestra in the country.  With specific goals focused on providing performance opportunities for talented, young female musicanics, the Cleveland Women’s Orchestra also joins forces with other organizations to create special-event programs while continuing to develop and perpetuate a series of free Gift of Music outreach concerts.
