VIVA! & Gala Performing Arts Series Single Tickets On Sale Beginning Wednesday, August 17


CLEVELAND (August 12, 2011) - Single tickets for the Cleveland Museum of Art's 2011-2012 VIVA! & Gala Performing Arts series will go on sale to the public on Wednesday, August 17.



Now in its seventh season and opening Friday, September 30, VIVA! & Gala is known for bringing performing artists to Cleveland that cannot be experienced anywhere else in the region.

           This year's lineup ranges from the movement poetry of Maureen Fleming in Black Madonna, her mystical response on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of 9/11; to the Grammy Award-winning Cuban jazz pianist Chucho Valdés, as well as the pure genius of Catalan viola da gamba player Jordi Savall. Also back by popular demand is Max Raabe and Palast Orchester, the Berlin-based ensemble that mixes the big band music of the 1920s and '30s with a distinctively modern sound.



Single tickets range in price from $28 to $55, depending on performance. Subscriptions to the entire season are also available.
