Walker: The Golden Harp
Beethoven: Mass in C
Celestial energy abounds on a crisp fall evening in University Circle, when BlueWater Chamber Orchestra performs with the Cleveland Chamber Choir at the spectacular Church of the Covenant. The gentle, lyrical poetry of Rabindranath Tagore is set to music in The Golden Harp, celebrating beauty of the divine and beauty of the soul within. The soaring sounds of Beethoven’s Mass in C then inspire a poetic presence of the master himself.

VIVA LATINA!
Hanzhi Wang, bandoneon
Saturday, March 4, 2023
7:30 pm
Church of the Covenant
11205 Euclid Avenue
Cleveland, OH 44106
Arriaga: Symphony in D
Copland: Three Latin American Sketches
Piazzolla: Aconcagua — Concerto for Bandoneon
Hanzhi Wang, bandoneon
As spring approaches, shake off winter doldrums with the passionate perspectives only Latin and Spanish music can provide. From the child prodigy Juan Crisóstomo Arriaga, we hear the vivid harmonic expressions of the 19-year-old “Spanish Mozart.” While Aaron Copland explores the Latin American zeitgeist through his North American perspective, Astor Piazzolla thrills via a tango vibe, introducing Cleveland audiences to the uniquely Argentine instrument — the bandoneon.

CELTIC CHARISMA
Linda Atherton, cello
Saturday, May 6, 2023
7:30 pm
Plymouth Church UCC
2860 Coventry Road
Shaker Heights, OH 44120
Finzi: A Severn Rhapsody
Boyle: Elegy
Linda Atherton, cello
Mendelssohn: Symphony No. 3, Op. 56
in a minor “Scottish”
The Celtic connection is evident in this delightful evening of music inspired by the people, cultures and landscapes of Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. Finzi rhapsodizes the Severn river valley, Boyle interprets a poem about the mythical harp of the Dagda (with BlueWater’s Linda Atherton on cello) and then Mendelssohn explores the wild romantic landscapes of Edinburgh’s Royal Mile.
It’s the enduring spirit of the celts set to music.
