This weekend, two of Northeast Ohio’s peripatetic instrumental ensembles are touring the metropolitan area to perform multiple concerts in venues near you.
Up first on Thursday at 7:30 at Fairmount Presbyterian Church, soprano Kirsten Kunkle will join conductor John McLaughlin Williams and CityMusic Cleveland in a program featuring Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s Suite from “Much Ado About Nothing,” Samuel Barber’s Knoxville: Summer of 1915, based on a luminous 1938 short prose piece by James Agee, George Frederick McKay’s Tlingit, and the world premiere of Chickasaw composer Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate’s Ko’koomfena (Our Grandmother), a CityMusic commission.
The free concert will travel to St. Jerome Catholic Church on Friday, the Shrine Church of St. Stanislaus on Saturday (both at 7:30), and Gartner Auditorium at the Cleveland Museum of Art on Sunday at 2:30.
Beginning on Friday at 7:30 at Akron’s Westminster Presbyterian Church, Cleveland’s period instrument ensemble Les Délices will tour “Bohemian Rhapsody,” featuring works by Franz Krommer, Georg Druschetzky, and Katerina Victoria Dusikova-Cianchettini, as well as Mozart’s Oboe Quartet (starring Debra Nagy), and a collection of traditional Czech folk tunes arranged for the ensemble. This program will reappear on Saturday at 7:30 at Forest Hill Presbyterian Church, and on Sunday at 4 pm at West Shore Unitarian Universalist Church in Rocky River. You’ll need tickets.
The Cleveland Institute of Music Orchestra is staying put on Friday at 7:30 to enjoy playing the second event in its newlyredesigned home, Kulas Hall. Tito Muñoz conducts, and Hiroka Matsumoto, will be violin soloist for a playlist that visits Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate’s “Bakbak” (Woodpecker) from Woodland Songs, Johannes Brahms’ Academic Festival Overture & Symphony No. 1, and Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s Violin Concerto. It’s free, but tickets are required — reserve online.
And All Hallows’ Eve will arrive early for The Cleveland Orchestra and the Cleveland Philharmonic, who will open the doors of Severance Music Center and Westlake Performing Arts Center on Sunday afternoon to all manner of ghoulies and ghosties and long-leggedy beasties and things that go bump in the night.
There will be two Halloween Spooktacular shows at Severance on Sunday at 1 pm and 4 pm, both conducted by Vinay Parmeswaren, with music by John Williams (Jurassic Park), Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast), Edvard Grieg (In the Hall of the Mountain King), and others. The earlier show will be “sensory-friendly, with relaxed house rules.” Costumes are encouraged, and tickets are available online.
On Sunday at 3 pm, Halloween With the Cleveland Philharmonic will offer music by Paul Dukas, Antonín Dvořák, Camille Saint-Saëns, Modest Mussorgsky, and Hector Berlioz, conducted by Dean Buck with Amber Dimoff, violin. Tickets are also available online.
