I Believe! Knitted Voices of Faith and Justice
by Kira McGirr 09 Apr '25

09 Apr '25

The season concludes for the Cleveland Chamber Choir and BlueWater Chamber Orchestra May 17, 2025 at 7:30pm at Trinity Cathedral, Cleveland, with the two organizations joining forces for "I Believe! Knitted Voices of Faith and Justice." Mozart’s *Great Mass in C Minor* captivates with its classical elegance. It is paired with Margaret Bonds’ *Credo*, which sets text by W.E.B. DuBois, the pioneering sociologist, civil rights activist, and co-founder of the NAACP. Both works feature soprano Katherine Jolly, who has appeared on opera and concert stages throughout the country and is the winner of the prestigious Metropolitan Opera National Council Grand Finals. She is joined by bass Jelani Watkins, well-known to Cleveland audiences as a core member of the choir. Influenced by themes from *Credo*, and following the choir's collaboration in December, the choir has named the music program at the Cleveland School of the Arts as their charitable partner. Saturday, May 17, 2025 at 7:30pm, at Trinity Cathedral, 2230 Euclid Ave., Cleveland Charles Edward McGuire, PhD, from Oberlin College & Conservatory, will present a pre-concert talk, 45 minutes prior to the performance. Visit bluewaterorchestra.com register for tickets. The concert is presented with “pay what you wish” tickets. Thank you for your support!

Parma-Powers Branch Library Spring 2025 Art Show
by Chad Lowther 09 Apr '25

09 Apr '25

Beauty and Humor of Everyday Life Spring 2025 Art Show Mon, March 3 – Sat, May 31 Cuyahoga County Public Library Parma-Powers Branch 6996 Powers Blvd, Parma, OH (440) 885-5362 The Beauty and Humor of Everyday Life show invites us to reflect on the textures that shape our daily experiences. As artists work across different mediums, their interpretations shift with the materials used, revealing how the ordinary can become extraordinary when seen through a fresh lens. In a space where books and media are made available for public use, art becomes another form of storytelling—one that complements the written word by offering visual narratives, humor, and emotional resonance. In a community space where access to vital social services is provided, a gallery becomes more than a place to view art; it becomes a place of connection, reflection, and care. Libraries are spaces where learning and equity are shared community values. By embracing art, these spaces continue to reinvent themselves as centers of creativity and community dialogue, reminding us that beauty and humor are not luxuries, but essential parts of our collective life experience. Chad Lowther Adult Services Supervisor Cuyahoga County Public Library Parma Powers Branch 6996 Powers Blvd/Parma, Ohio 44129-5472 p.440.885.5362 cuyahogalibrary.org
