We caught up with Travis Guillory, tenor soloist of our October orchestra series, Celebrating Black Excellence, a few days before his first performances with CityMusic. Here’s what he had to say about his debut with CityMusic, his experience with operatic singing, and how an arm to the face inspired his favorite performance.

Tuba soloist Laura Potter will be featured this Friday in a concert for the unique ensemble of tuba plus string quartet. I caught up with her at her Cleveland Heights home to learn about her tuba career and her connections to CityMusic.
