The St. Clair Superior neighborhood, located between downtown Cleveland and University Circle, stretches from the shores of Lake Erie to Payne Avenue. Many people know it only as a section of the city they drive past on the way to someplace else. That’s a shame because it has a great deal to offer including a multi-cultural mix of ethnic restaurants, markets and shops, beautiful public parks, artists’ studios and edgy galleries. This is one of Cleveland’s most culturally diverse communities and the area is positioned to become a new urban lifestyle hub. To foster that vision exciting revitalization efforts are underway to make this a place where people want to live, work, and play.
St Vitus parish, established in 1893, is at the geographical heart of the district and one of its most enduring institutions. St. Vitus Church, the first for Slovenian Catholic worshipers in northeast Ohio and now the largest in the United States, has always been dedicated to serving the spiritual and social needs of neighborhood residents and now plays a key role in community development initiatives.
Throughout its history, music has been an important part of services and celebrations at St. Vitus. The Lira Singing Society, one of the Church’s two choirs, formed in 1912 and is among the oldest Slovenian singing groups in the United States. So it is especially fitting that CityMusic performs in this lovely space, refurbished in 1993 in honor of the parish’s 100 year anniversary.
