Cleveland is a nice place to be for summer music.

Being a Clevelander for several years now- I, too, echo these sentiments
that Cleveland/Northeast Ohio is wonderful place to catch a wide variety of
musical events happening in the summer season. Mistake-by-the-lake, BAH!!
In addition to the already great suggestions made by Trevor, worth
mentioning is the Cleveland Art Song competition happening mid to late May
at the Cleveland Institute of Music (which is always illuminating and
wonderful to observe) as well as performances by Lyric Opera Cleveland in a
new locaation at the Cleveland Playhouse, whose rep goes from the
traditional to more contemporary works (Patience, Don Giovanni, and John
Adams' I looked at the ceiling and saw the sky)- so, there's plenty
a-happening here, lots o' stuff for all to enjoy!!

Yep, summers here do get hot and a little stinky (the humidity here even
tries the patience of this "humidity seasoned" Aussie!), but mostly it's
glorious- and then there's the Flats area for more nighttime fun and
music.......

OH! I almost
forgot to mention the Blossom Summer Music Festival.
They have concerts ranging from rock bands to The
Cleveland Orchestra. It is in Kent, Ohio. That is
worth looking into as well.

If I'm not mistaken, the Blossom Music Center is not out in Kent, but in
Boston Heights (about 45 mins. from Cleveland going southways, a little
before hitting Akron)- within very easy highway access, and evening
performances are truly magical under the stars.

Anyways- good luck with your planning and I very much hope you get a chance
to visit this fair city!!
