Not Your Usual Holiday Concert: CityMusic Cleveland @ Fairmount Presbyterian 12/2
One of the nicest holiday gifts was presented last Tuesday at Fairmount Presbyterian Church when CityMusic Cleveland and conductor James Gaffigan presented their Not Your Usual Holiday Concert. If one wanted another name for this concert, it might be "an evening of delicious bon-bons." Most of the eight pieces that comprised the program are very seldom heard, which is not fair -- to the music, or audiences. They're delightful and deserve to be heard much more often! Bravo CMC and Mr. Gaffigan.
The opening work, March for the Turkish Ceremony by Jean-Baptiste Lully, also served to close the program, as after two encores of beloved Christmas Carols, the ebullient conductor announced. "Let's do the Lully again, I love that piece so much!" and so, we heard it again, and it was every bit as delightful as the first time around. read more... |

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.
