On 22 March at Severance Music Center, Daniel Reith steps in for Franz Welser-Möst at two hours notice to conduct The Cleveland Orchestra in Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No.1 with Yuja Wang, and Tchaikovsky Symphony No.5. 

Cleveland Classical says ​“Reith, who received word of the change only two hours before the concert, deserves much of the glory for what followed… Reith pushed the orchestra close to Wang’s brilliance” (Cleveland Classical, 23 March 2025).
