    This week’s picks begin with a shakeup of personnel at Severance Music Center, continue with a popular opera at Oberlin, and welcome top-notch visiting ensembles and solo artists to Northeast Ohio.

    – The Cleveland Orchestra’s seven-concert Beethoven Concerto Cycle, which was to have starred pianist Igor Levit with Franz Welser-Möst at the helm, has been reworked after the conductor withdrew to continue medical treatments, then Levit himself pulled out.

    Five pianists will fill the void, and assistant conductor Daniel Reith will lead all performances, including the program on Saturday at 8 pm that will spotlight Garrick Ohlsson in Concertos No. 2 and No. 4 (repeated on Tuesday at 7:30).

    – On Thursday at 8 pm in Hall Auditorium, Oberlin Opera Theater will stage Jules Massenet’s Cendrillon (aka Cinderella), directed by Stephanie Havey, with Oberlin alum and former Cleveland Orchestra assistant conductor James Feddeck conducting the Oberlin Chamber Orchestra (repeated on Friday and Saturday at 8 and Sunday at 2.)

    Based in Norwich, England, the Marian Consort will visit the Cathedral of St John the Evangelist on Friday at 8 pm to sing a program of “sumptuous Renaissance polyphony from Scotland’s few surviving sixteenth-century manuscripts.”

    – Also on Friday, the Cleveland Classical Guitar Society will present João Luiz, one–half of the Brasil Guitar Duo in his first solo concert for CCGS (7:30 at the Maltz Performing Arts Center.)

    – A third event on Friday hosts New York Philharmonic principal clarinet Anthony McGill and Earl Howard, keyboard/electronics, who will join the Oberlin Sinfonietta in Tania León’s Toque, Stephen Hartke’s The Horse with the Lavender Eye, Alvin Singleton’s Again, and Anthony Davis’ You Have the Right to Remain Silent. Timothy Weiss conducts the ensemble at 7:30 in Warner Concert Hall.

    – And early next week, two chamber music societies will bring visiting artists to town. On Monday at 7:30, the Rocky River Chamber Music Society continues its 66th season with the all-female Seraph Brass Quintet, followed by the slightly older Cleveland Chamber Music Society, who will sponsor a performance by Cuarteto Casals on Tuesday at 7:30 at Disciples Church as part of their 75th anniversary season. The Casals will play quartets by Mozart, Sofia Gubaidulina, and Brahms.

  • A Brownbag Lunch Concert at Trinity Cathedral and the Rest of the Classical Music to Catch This Week

    A Brownbag Lunch Concert at Trinity Cathedral and the Rest of the Classical Music to Catch This Week

    [ad_1]

    click to enlarge

    Wikipedia

    Trinity Cathedral hosts another Brownbag Concert on Wednesday

    This week, we’re recommending half a dozen classical music events with interesting twists or content — something a bit different to pique your curiosity.

    – French composer César Franck’s popular Violin Sonata is sometimes appropriated by cellists, as John Walz will do in collaboration with pianist Elizabeth DeMio on Wednesday at noon on the Brownbag Concert series at Trinity Cathedral. They’ll fill out the program with Antonín Dvořák’s Sonatina.

    – On Wednesday at 7:30 pm the Oberlin Improvisation and New Music Collective will improvise on John Cage’s Ryoanji in addition to playing their own Ornithological Observations and Steve Reich’s Pendulum Music in Stull Recital Hall (enjoy the event in person or via livestream).

    – More from Oberlin — but happening in Cleveland: on Friday at 7, The Many Moods of Melodrama: Sentiment, Satire, Horror, and Noir will offer an evening of short silent films exploring the melodramatic mode, with original scores performed by students from the Oberlin Conservatory at the Cleveland Museum of Art’s Transformer Station.

    – On Saturday at 2 at the Main Cleveland Public Library, Les Délices will present “Sounds of Sancho’s London” featuring music composed and published by Charles Ignatius Sancho and his contemporaries. Sancho, a man of letters, merchant, abolitionist, and theater lover who lived from 1729-1780, made history as the first British man of African descent to vote in a general election.

    – Saturday evening at 7:30, the Akron Symphony will bring its 70th anniversary season to a close with Mozart’s “Great Mass in c minor.” Written to be performed at the composer’s wedding but never completed, its torso still makes for an impressive work that features magnificent writing for double chorus. Christopher Wilkins conducts at E.J. Thomas Hall.

    – Our list ends at Disciples Church on Tuesday at 7:30 when cellist Anthony Albrecht & violinist Simone Slattery of the Bowerbird Collective will present Where Song Began, “a cinematic concert celebrating songbirds” featuring music by Arvo Pärt, Sarah Hopkins, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Chris Williams, Ross Edwards, Johann Heinrich Schmelzer, J.S. Bach, David Lang, and Ngarra Burra Ferra.

  • The Singers Club Does a Game-Show Concert and the Rest of the Classical Music to Catch This Week

    The Singers Club Does a Game-Show Concert and the Rest of the Classical Music to Catch This Week

    [ad_1]

    click to enlarge

    This week’s recommendations fall into categories that resemble a bride’s list of good luck charms.

    SOMETHING OLD:
    – Trobár Medieval sets the clock back to the Italian Trecento — the 1300s — when soprano Elena Mullins Bailey, medieval harpist and wind player Sian Ricketts, tenor Nathan Dougherty & percussionist Allen Otte serve up polyphonic works, laude (cousins of French troubadour songs) and instrumental dance music on Friday (7 pm at St. Pauls, Cleveland Hts.), Saturday (7 pm at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in Cleveland), and Sunday (3 pm at St. Anselm, Chesterland).

    – Apollo’s Fire reaches back a mere 300 years to celebrate Easter with the closest Johann Sebastian Bach came to penning opera: the Easter Oratorio and an Easter Cantata with soloists Andréa Walker, soprano, Aryeh Nussbaum Cohen, countertenor, Haitham Haidar, tenor, and Edward Vogel, baritone, taking on dramatic roles. Festive baroque trumpets add to the celebration. Jeannette Sorrell conducts on Thursday (7:30 at Federated Church in Chagrin Falls), Friday (7:30 at St. Raphael, Bay Village), Saturday (8 pm at St. Paul’s, Akron), and Sunday (5 pm at Church of the Gesu, University Hts.)

    SOMETHING NEW:
    – The Singers Club, one of the oldest of Cleveland’s musical organizations, presents Game On! — an innovative musical “game-show concert,” where club members sing the questions while contestants (the audience) interact with the host. Ready to choose “1950s Rock ‘n’ Roll” for $200? Friday at 7 at First Baptist Church of Greater Cleveland.

    – Cleveland Chamber Collective will present the premiere of Ty Alan Emerson’s OATH BREAKER for chamber ensemble and digital playback. The work takes the audience on a 60-minute journey of anger, grief, and hope, while striving to come to grips with the events of January 6 and the subsequent fallout. Sunday at 3:30 at Pivot Center, Cleveland.

    SOMETHING BOTH OLD & NEW:
    – The Cleveland Orchestra tucks Unsuk Chin’s subito con forza from 2020 between the not-so-old Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2 & the not-so-new Bartók Concerto for Orchestra. David Afkham guest conducts, with Beatrice Rana, piano. Friday at 7:30 at Severance Music Center (repeated Saturday at 8 and Sunday at 3).

    SOMETHING BORROWED:
    – On the Oberlin Artist Recital Series, the Silkroad Ensemble proposes to connect the music of indigenous North America to the world, “drawing inspiration from folk and ancestral music of Japan, China, Armenia, Ireland and the Hebrides, and native populations across North America.” Percussionist Haruka Fujii, Celtic harpist & vocalist Maeve Gilchrist, cellist Karen Ouzounian, and violinist & vocalist Mazz Swift, make up the band, joined by two special guests: Tuscarora/Taíno lap-steel slide guitarist & vocalist Pura Fé and pipa player Wu Man. Friday at 7:30 in Finney Chapel.

    – And the Canton Symphony will play “Rhapsodies from Bohemia,” with music by Dvořák, Smetana, Alma Mahler, & Gustav Mahler led by Matthew Jenkins Jaroszewicz. Sunday at 7:30 in Umstattd Hall.

    SOMETHING BLUE:
    – Blue would mean jazz, and Cleveland Jazz Orchestra welcomes Grammy Award-winning bassist and vocalist Richard Bona for its next concert on Friday at 7:30 at the Maltz.

    AND SOMETHING(S) EXTRA:
    – Summit Choral Society’s Metropolitan Chorus will sing a program led by Britt Cooper at St. Bernard Church in Akron on Saturday at 7, contralto Heidi Skok will sing Wagner’s Wesendonck Lieder and Mahler’s Ruckert Lieder with pianists John Simmons & Randall Fusco on Saturday at 7:30 at Disciples Christian Church, and Bard College organist Renée Anne Louprette will give a recital on Sunday at 4 on the Berghaus organ in Akron’s Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.

    We’ll start this week’s lengthy list of recommendations with programs at Severance Music Center.

    – He’s visited the Severance podium before, but 28-year-old Finnish conductor Klaus Mäkelä just last week added a new post to his resumé: music director designate of the Chicago Symphony. During the first of his two-week Cleveland Orchestra residency, Mäkelä will be leading two iconic 20th-century British works: William Walton’s Belshazzar’s Feast (with baritone Thomas Hampson and the Cleveland Orchestra Chorus) and Edward Elgar’s Cello Concerto (with soloist Sol Gabetta) on Thursday at 7:30, Friday at 11, and Saturday at 8.

    You can preview the Walton here in a performance by the Leeds Festival Chorus with the BBC Symphony Chorus and Orchestra conducted by Andrew Davis. (Start at 23:31 where baritone Sir Willard White dramatically announces the writing on the wall and the chorus responds with its famous outcry).

    – On Friday at 8, Cleveland Pops Orchestra takes over the Severance stage for “Broadway Rocks.”

    – Then a special Severance performance on Sunday at 3 pm will feature pianist Evgeny Kissin and baritone Matthias Goerne in Schumann’s Dichterliebe, and three works by Brahms: Four Ballades, Op. 10, Songs after poems by Heinrich Heine, and Lieder und Gesänge.

    – Not happening at Severance itself, but involving some Cleveland Orchestra figures including its founder, the Classically Lake View | Honoring Adella Prentiss Hughes series will bring violinists Isabel Trautwein and Célina Behoux, clarinetist Robert Woolfrey, violist Will Bender, and cellist Tonya Ell to Lake View Cemetery Community Mausoleum for the clarinet quintets by Mozart and Brahms on Friday at 6pm.

    – And Cleveland Orchestra cellist Dane Johansen will join pianist Noah Krauss and violinist Genevieve Smelser in trios by Brahms, Amy Beach, and Paul Schoenfeld in a Heights Arts Close Encounters performance at a Shaker Hts. villa on Sunday at 3.

    – Moving on to Cleveland’s independent professional ensembles, on Saturday at 7:30 pm at Disciples Cultural Arts Center, Les Délices will feature flutist Joseph Monticello and bassoonist Clay Zeller-Townson in “Seasons Transformed,” reimagining Vivaldi’s classic concertos for flute, oboe, bassoon, a pair of violins, and continuo (repeated on Sunday at 4 at West Shore Unitarian Universalist Church.)

    – Conservatories and schools of music provide an abundance of interesting programming, including Oberlin’s Contemporary Music Ensemble (Thursday at 7:30, featuring works by Christopher Theofanidis) and Orchestra plus Jazz Ensemble with cellist Drew Dansby (Friday at 7:30), faculty pianist Andrew Le on the Kent Keyboard series (Sunday at 5), and the CIM Orchestra with guest conductor Sarah Hicks & faculty piano soloist Sergei Babayan (Tuesday at 7:30).

    – The Baldwin Wallace Bach Festival takes over the school’s Berea campus this weekend, with concerts featuring the Baroque band ACRONYM (Friday at 7), and a program of works Bach composed in 1724 (Saturday at 7) leading up to the St. John Passion (Sunday at 2).

    – Meanwhile, on Friday at 7:30 in its atrium and galleries, the Cleveland Museum of Art will present Aleksandra Vrebalov’s evening-length work Antennae. Inspired by an icon in the Museum’s collection, the work features organs, trumpets, and percussion, with members of Capella Romana singing Byzantine chant, surrounded by sixty singers and other musicians from the community.

    – Three solo recitals of note round out this week’s picks. On Saturday at 7:30 at the Maltz, Cleveland Classical Guitar Society will host Badi Assad in a program of music from her native Brazil, on Sunday at 4 the Music at Bath series will present world percussionist Dan Shiller, and at the same hour, pianist Halida Dinova will play “Great Piano Miniatures” at St. James in Lakewood.
