Besides the regular season concerts, the index also includes Blossom performances (sponsored by the orchestra), chamber and recital series, Cleveland Youth Orchestra and other special performances (as programs exist in the collection).

Blossom Music Center is the summer home of the Orchestra. Program notes for Blossom concerts are generally much shorter, and some early concerts (1970-1972) do not have program notes. Blossom programs are not numbered as are Severance Hall programs, so summer programs are defined basically by date. The Blossom season is associated with the season which preceded it. For example, the 1992 Blossom season is considered to be part of the 1991-1992 season. Our collection of Blossom programs is often incomplete, so this database should not be used as a definitive record of repertoire at Blossom.

Dates: 1921-22 through 2006-07 seasons. The database is being updated continually as indexing is completed.

• Composer(s)

Access: The library's collection of programs is accessible locally only to CIM library patrons. However, copies of individual programs may be requested through interlibrary loan by persons who do not have borrowing privileges at CIM/CWRU.

Ackowledgements: The index is maintained by Bonnie Houser Eggers, Electronic Resources Librarian at the Cleveland Institute of Music. Please send suggestions to Bonnie at bjh10@case.edu. Indexing and data entry is completed by library student employees.
