Great Lakes Science Center “Performing on stage at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is an experience that student groups can’t find anywhere else,” says Jane Tougouma, group tour sales manager for Destination Cleveland. “This unique activity is the perfect culmination of a trip spent exploring the vibrant musical heritage of Cleveland.” One of the Hall of Fame’s popular school group tour packages is “Classical Music Rocks.” Students will attend a classical music performance of the renowned Cleveland Orchestra, and they will tour the orchestra’s home venue, Severance Hall. In addition to seeing the theater’s backstage areas, they can take master classes from the orchestra’s musicians. At the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, students will learn about the genre’s history and most prominent figures, from Johnny Cash and the Beatles to today’s hitmakers.
