VIDEO/PREVIEW: CityMusic Cleveland’s World Premiere
Daniel and Snakeman
Bono said “Music can change the world because it can change people.”
CityMusic Cleveland is seeking to change people with its mission to break down barriers to the widespread enjoyment of classical music by offering free concerts in local Northeast Ohio venues. All generations and cultures of people can witness the production of a brand new musical work, entitled Daniel and Snakeman, that confronts the dangers of racism and prejudice while promoting living together in harmony through music.
Listen as Eugenie Strauss, Executive Director of CityMusic Cleveland, talks about this innovative and intergenerational concert series. Cleveland Heights native and nationally-distinguished composer Margaret Brouwer shares her thoughts and intentions in writing the story and creating the music for this world premiere performance of Daniel and Snakeman. The setting for this tale is futuristic where people of culturally-different backgrounds strive to live together in peace, in spite of the villainous Snakeman.
Daniel and Snakeman, commissioned by CityMusic Cleveland, will have its world premiere debut via CityMusic Cleveland’s Intergenerational Concert series May 10 – 14, 2011.
