CLEVELAND, Ohio – Get those dialing or mouse-clicking fingers ready. It’s almost time to reserve tickets for the Cleveland Orchestra’s annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration Concert.

On Wednesday, the orchestra announced that free tickets will be available beginning 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 8. Tickets typically run out within a few hours of their release.

To order, visit the Cleveland Orchestra box office in person at Severance Music Center (11001 Euclid Ave.), call 216-231-1111, or go to clevelandorchestra.com.

The concert itself is at 7 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 16. Admission is free but tickets are required and limited to four per household. As at all Cleveland Orchestra concerts, guests must display proof of vaccination or a recent negative COVID-19 test and wear a mask throughout the performance.

Also this year, the orchestra announced that in lieu of a digital livestream of the 2022 concert, as previously announced, it will re-broadcast the full event from 2018. That performance can be viewed for free on the orchestra’s digital platform, adella.live.

Listeners unable to attend the live event in 2022 will still be able to hear it, by tuning into a live radio broadcast on WPCN-90.3 FM, WCLV-FM 104.9, and ideastream.org.

As always, the 2022 concert will feature the Cleveland Orchestra and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration Chorus, a specially-created group directed by William Henry Caldwell and composed of singers from Northeast Ohio church choirs. Also featured this year: guest soprano Jacqueline Echols.
