CLEVELAND PUBLIC THEATRE PRESENTS

PREMIERE OF NEW MUSIC ENSEMBLE

Mystical Connections

an Evening of Music led by Margaret Brouwer

Wednesday, September 18, 2002 at 8:00pm

Executive Director James A. Levin and Artistic Director Randy Rollison are
proud to present Mystical Connections, an evening of music led by Margaret
Brouwer. The evening will feature the premiere of a new Cleveland based
music ensemble named Connections as well as performances by African
singer/dancer Ceco Selinas and clarinetist Amitai Vardi. Mystical
Connections will be presented for one night only on Wednesday September 18,
2002 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $15.00 and $10.00 for seniors and students.
For more box office information, please call Cleveland Public Theatre at
216.631.2727.

Mystical Connections is not a concert so much as a total experience. The
newly founded ensemble explores the art of communication and understanding
between cultures as well as the acceptance and celebration of differences.
Featuring a combination of works composed by Margaret Brouwer and a cross
selection of various world music, the event is a unique attempt to thread
connections between seemingly disparate cultures and explore the possibility
of a world that speaks a common language of hope. “In the aftermath of Sept.
11th, we lowly musicians wondered what we could do to help. The result is
simply this: an honest exploration of how connections can be made through
music,” says Margaret Brouwer.

Brouwer approached various local musicians last winter about connecting with
other cultures through music and “was thrilled to find that these musicians
all very much wanted to be involved.”  For the core of her Connections
ensemble, she successfully assembled four recent graduates of the Cleveland
Institute of Music and two members of Cleveland’s Apollo’s Fire, conductor
and founder Jeannette Sorrell and singer Sandra Simon. In conjunction with
Brouwer’s ensemble, will be modern and traditional African music performed
by local African drummers and singer/ dancer Ceco Selinas, and Klezmer music
performed by local clarinetist Amitai Vardi. Under the belief that music
operates on a level beyond the language of politics and religion, Brouwer
views this work as a response to the preponderance of violence between
cultures. Her hope is that “when we get away from words, communication may
be easier.”

Cleveland Public Theatre’s Presented Series is made possible through the
generous support of The George Fund Foundation, The Ohio Arts Council and
the Cleveland Foundation/BASICS program and Continental Airlines. Cleveland
Public Theatre is one of 17 arts organizations participating in BASICs; a
five-year program of the Cleveland Foundation. BASICs organizations receive
operating support, customized technical assistance and grants to help build
capacity to manage the necessary risk-taking of their art forms.

The mission of Cleveland Public Theatre is to inspire, nurture, challenge,
amaze, educate and empower artists and audiences, in order to make the
Cleveland Public a more conscious and compassionate community.
