WHO WAS ADELLA?

Cleveland-native Adella Prentiss Hughes grew up to be a music impresario and community leader.  In 1918, after managing a group that brought visiting orchestra's to Cleveland, she founded The Cleveland Orchestra, convinced that her hometown deserved a "great orchestra" of its own.  She served as the ensemble's general manager for fifteen seasons, with a clear vision for the institution she had created and for what its future could be. 

       It is for these reasons that we've named our new digital streaming service to honor her pioneering spirit. We hope that this 21st-century Adella will open a new chapter for The Cleveland Orchestra and carry this world-renowned ensemble toward a glorious and multimedia-connected world of the future.
