07 May '22

CONTEMPORARY YOUTH ORCHESTRA Rock Your Potential DROPS of COLOR featuring the music of LUCA MUNDACA & ANTôNIO CARLOS JOBIM Saturday, June 4, 2022 7:00 PM Cuyahoga Community College Metropolitan Campus Auditorium A celebration of Brazilian music with Cleveland-based singer/songwriter, Luca Mundaca rocks the orchestra! Luca Mundaca is a gifted artist with a stunning voice. Her music is a glorious blend of her native Brazil with a touch of downtown New York. While mining deep melodic roots from her country’s heritage, she creates musical gems polished with the lightest of touches. Influenced by samba and bossa nova themes, her songs often revolve around nature and our relationship with it. Her hit song “Ha Dias” has over 3.4 million plays on Spotify alone. Antônio Carlos Jobim was a Brazilian composer, songwriter, and singer whose work celebrates Brazil and a passion for the natural world. Considered by many as the "father of bossa nova”, he merged Brazilian music with jazz to create a new sound that achieved great popularity in the 1960s. CYO will be performing works specifically written for orchestra, featured on the Latin Grammy-winning album, Symphonic Jobim. In addition to the live audience at the Cuyahoga Community College Metropolitan Campus, the concert will be livestreamed to reach Luca's international fan base from South America to Europe.

06 May '22

Opening this Weekend! Rubber City Theatre Presents: *HENRIK IBSEN'S AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE: A NEW RUST-BELT ADAPTATION * *by Les Hunter* *Directed by Lana Sugarman* Friday, May 6th - May 21 and runs Friday and Saturday nights at 7:30 and Sunday matinees at 2:30 (with one Thursday show on the 19th). There's trouble in the water and only Dr. Tammie Stockman can sound the alarm. Set in a mid-sized Rust-Belt city during the Trump era, this adaptation of An Enemy of the People delves into questions that were as pertinent for Ibsen as they are today. What inspires people to action? Can scientific discovery mobilize outcomes when economic opportunities are at stake, and fear is pervasive? Will Tammie sacrifice everything, her job, her friends, her family--for the truth? Or is she just the enemy of the people? https://www.rubbercitytheatre.com/enemy.html
