  • Citymusic Cleveland Schedules Hybrid Chamber Music Concerts by Daniel Hathaway
    CityMusic Cleveland schedules hybrid chamber music concerts by Daniel Hathaway Pivoting from its customary chamber orchestra concerts, last September CityMusic Cleveland announced a series of chamber music programs curated by members of the ensemble celebrating the centenary of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which decreed that “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” Initially offered as live, in-person events for a reduced audience of 100 at the Shrine Church of St. Stanislaus, the series went online after the first two programs due to the progress of the pandemic. Subsequent concerts have been streamed from the Maltz Performing Arts Center. Beginning this week, CityMusic will present pairs of performances — one in-person concert at St. Stan’s, followed by a second performance of the same program streamed from the Maltz. Executive director Eugenia Strauss noted in a press release that the chamber music format will be continued in 2021-2022, when seven groups will be invited to build programs around the themes of peace, equality, and justice, drawing largely on works by female composers and including commissioned pieces. “We hope to return to present orchestral programs in the 22-23 season,” Strauss wrote. NOTE: In-person programs will be performed at the Shrine Church of St. Stanislaus for a limited, socially distanced audience of 100 people. CityMusic Cleveland follows all Center for Disease Control and State of Ohio health guidelines with respect to the safety of our audiences and performers.

  • Beethoven with Violinist Tessa Lark (May 20) by Daniel Hathaway
    CityMusic: all Beethoven with violinist Tessa Lark (May 20) by Daniel Hathaway Surely it was just a coincidence that CityMusic Cleveland’s final series of concerts mostly duplicated works The Cleveland Orchestra had played the week before in the third concert of its all-Beethoven Prometheus Project at Severance Hall. The unique piece on CityMusic’s program was the Violin Concerto, which received a glowing performance by Tessa Lark and ​ ​ the ensemble on Sunday afternoon, May 20 in St. Noel Church in Willoughby. Music director Avner Dorman opened the program with the gloomy Coriolan ​ Overture, a piece whose dramatic rests are nearly as important as its notes. Dorman ​ kept the tension flowing between the opening chords, assisted by the lively acoustic of the modern building. A lyrical melody only temporarily brings sunlight into the piece, which ends with portentous pizzicatos. Though not the most challenging of Beethoven’s orchestral works, CityMusic embellished the overture with a patina of professionalism. A program change moved the Eighth Symphony to the center of the concert. A compact, witty piece, the work is laced with subtle Beethovenian humor and self-parody, including a scherzo-like second movement suggested (or maybe not) by Maelzel’s ticky-tocky metronome, a backward-looking minuet with an elaborate trio featuring solo clarinet plus cello and two horns (ending dangerously on a high F for the clarinet), and a wild finale that veers off into unrelated keys and almost refuses to end, inspiring one of the composer’s longest and funniest codas. Everything in CityMusic’s performance was tidily in place, but Dorman seemed content to lead a straightforward reading that passed up numerous opportunities to bring out the symphony’s special moments.

Since its inception, the idea behind noexit has been to serve as an outlet for the commission and performance of contemporary avant-garde concert music. Now in our 11th season and with over 140 commissions to date, NoExit is going strong in our efforts to promote the music of living composers and to be an impetus for the creation of new works. We have strived to create exciting, meaningful and thought-provoking programs; always with the philosophy of bringing the concert hall to the community (not the other way around) and by presenting our programs in a manner which allows for our audience to really connect with the experience......... free and open to the public in every sense. For our 2019-2020 season, NoExit will be welcoming a very special guest, cimbalom virtuoso Chester Englander, who will be performing with NoExit over the next two seasons as part of an ambitious project to commission and record 2 CD’s of all new work. As always, there will be more world premiere music than you can count on one hand (we have 10 new pieces planned for this season). We are particularly happy to be presenting the music of 5 very impressive and talented student composers from Northeast Ohio, representing various colleges from the area. As in past seasons, the ensemble will be participating in the NEOSonicFest, collaborating with Zeitgeist (our favorite co-consprirators) and so much more.
