Cleveland Chamber Choir Presents Holiday Concert
by Kira McGirr 10 Nov '23

10 Nov '23

Come celebrate the Holidays with the Cleveland Chamber Choir with carols, Renaissance polyphony, and Sephardic music from Spain and Portugal. The concert will feature familiar favorites, like *Fum, fum, fum* and *Ríu, Ríu Chíu* and Tomás Luis de Victoria’s meditative *O Magnum Mysterium*”. Sure to become new favorites are the fiery ensaladas by Matteo Flecha that combine madrigal, dance and polyphonic traditions. “They are as close to rock music as you get in the early Baroque era,” said Ristow, “and the name of the genre really does mean *salad*, because each piece is like a tossed salad of languages and both secular and sacred musical styles.” Within Flecha’s *La Bomba* you’ll hear “a sea-shanty that meets a sacred Renaissance chanted prayer.” Of particular note are the sacred compositions of Afro-Portuguese composer and music theorist Vicente Lusitano, whose work was neglected and excluded because of his race; and music from the Sephardic Jewish tradition. “Lustino’s music is some of the most striking and beautiful of the High Renaissance, and it’s only in the past several years that it has been rediscovered by choirs,” said Ristow. “We’re excited to share it with Cleveland audiences for the first time.” Friday, December 15, 2023 at 8:00pm, Fairchild Chapel, Oberlin College, 50 W. Lorain St., Oberlin Saturday, December 16, 2023 at 7:00pm, First Baptist Church of Greater Cleveland, 3630 Fairmount Blvd., Cleveland A pre-concert talk will be presented by Charles Edward McGuire, PhD, from Oberlin College & Conservatory, 45 minutes before each performance. This concert is presented with generous grants from The Cleveland Foundation, The Gund Foundation, Ohio Arts Council, and Local 4 Music Fund. Free-will donations accepted. Ticket reservations requested at clevelandchamberchoir.org. A portion of the free-will donations made at these concerts will be directed towards the Julia De Burgos Cultural Arts Center for these concerts to support their work in serving Latino youth and their families through programs and activities designed to foster cultural pride and art appreciation.

WordStage ends its 2023 season with a tribute to James Thurber
by Tim Tavcar 09 Nov '23

09 Nov '23

WordStage Literary Concerts presents A Cavalcade of Thurber WordStage ends its 2023 season with a tribute to Ohio author, humorist and illustrator, James Thurber. Our program begins with an excerpt from an interview Thurber did for the Paris Review, conducted by George Plimpton and Max Steele. In it, he tells amusing stories of everything from his own writing process, to his cartoons and illustrations, to incidents in his life that shaped his own amusing and idiosyncratic literary output, to often acerbic comments about writers, friends, and associates. The second part of the program will be a collection of some of his most wry tales and fables, such as “The Little Girl and the Wolf,” “The Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing,” and “The Unicorn in the Garden.” These will be accompanied by a selection of manic melodies that underscore the quirkiness of Thurber’s delightfully skewed stories. The program will take place in the Wright Chapel of the Lakewood Presbyterian Church - 14502 Detroit Ave. in Lakewood, OH on Saturday, November 18th at 7:00 p.m. For more information, please visit our website at www.wordstageohio.org. For reservations, please contact Tim Tavcar at 440-857-0717 <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> Virus-free.www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campai…> <#m_-4750437133965055133_DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>
