Heritage Society

The Cleveland Orchestra's Heritage Society recognizes the generosity of over 450 individuals who are committed to ensuring the Orchestra's future and have remembered the Orchestra in their estate plans.

About

The lotus blossom, said to be Elisabeth Severance's favorite flower, is the symbol of the Heritage Society. The lotus motif is found in nearly every public area of Severance Hall. Representing eternal life, a sterling silver lotus pin is presented to every Heritage Society member to recognize the lasting legacy they are creating for generations to come. We are pleased to recognize Heritage Society members each year in our Spotlight Magazine.
