Jon Anderson spent the week of May 18-25, 2010 in Cleveland, Ohio to once again rehearse and perform with the Contemporary Youth Orchestra (the first Jon-CYO pairing was May 24, 2004). Jon and CYO played to a sold-out Severance Hall audience on May 24, 2010, premiering some new Jon material (including a four-part suite) amidst offerings of symphonic Yes masterworks. An extended encore featured repeats of both "Starship Trooper" and "State of Independance," which explains their duplication in the setlist below. Special mention should be made of the sign-language interpreter, whose ASL translation of Jon's vocals became something of a visually engaging dance in itself.

The event marked the Severance Hall debut for CYO, whose orchestra and chorus backed Jon's vocals and acoustic guitar. The performance was filmed for possible broadcast on public television (and/or DVD release). The 2004 show was likewise documented on camera but was never aired, and DVDs were made available only to the orchestra members.
