Close Encounters 2014-2015 Season
Ninth series of chamber music concerts feature world-renowned, local musicians
Heights Arts is pleased to announce the 2014–15 lineup for its Close Encounters chamber music series, held in a distinctive array of locations in Cleveland Heights, Midtown, and downtown Cleveland. The four Sunday afternoon concerts present classical music performed by arguably the world’s most renowned local musicians—members of the Cleveland Orchestra. Isabel Trautwein, Close Encounters artistic director and Cleveland Orchestra violinist, engages her colleagues and other professional musicians to design their own programs, ranging this year from baroque to bluegrass. Cleveland Heights’ Poet Laureate will recite poems created in response to select musical offerings during the series.
