CityMusic Cleveland transports listeners with Mozart, Schubert
CityMusic Cleveland is an essential part of the region's musical fabric. Just ask Mozart and Schubert.
The Viennese masters have the pleasure of spending nearly an hour with the chamber orchestra on the program music director James Gaffigan is leading this week to end the ensemble's fifth season. As short as the concert may be, it's full of transporting and towering achievement.
CityMusic presented the program, "Heaven & Earth," Wednesday at Cleveland's St. Vitus Church, a space far more beautiful for eyes than ears. The church's reverberant acoustics create layers of sound that are generous at the high and low ends but wooly in the middle. Inner voices and details tend to get lost within the vague ambience.
Even so, the music-making that could be discerned served the composers to telling effect. Few symphonies have greater impact on brain and heart than Mozart's Symphony No. 41, subtitled "Jupiter," which conductor and players explored with bold and sensitive assurance.

In CityMusic Cleveland's Education Program, artist-teachers from the orchestra work with elementary school children, teaching them how to listen to music, read musical notation, and play an instrument. A 30-week curriculum is in place in Elyria (with Save Our Children), and 30-weeks in Slavic Village and 10-weeks in Cleveland Heights (with the Boys & Girls Club). It's based on the phenomenally successful El Sistema of Venezuela.
You can help by donating an instrument for our after-school youth orchestra.
