There is no dress code for Cleveland Orchestra performances.

Most classical concerts last between 90 minutes and two hours, including one intermission. Family Concerts and Friday Morning Matinees last about one hour.

Touring performances throughout the United States and, beginning in 1957, to Europe and across the globe have confirmed Cleveland's place among the world's top orchestras. Year-round performances became a reality in 1968 with the opening of Blossom Music Center.

The orchestra's season remains 52 weeks and size remains 100 members. Musicians will receive raises each year of the contract. Base salary will rise from $135,096 (2017-2018) to $143,364 by the 2020-2021 season.
