Arts Renaissance Cleveland offers people the opportunity to hear some of Cleveland’s best classical musicians for free with its Sunday afternoon concerts at Tremont’s Pilgrim Congregational Church.
For its first regular-season concert of its 28th season, it’s presenting a group very familiar to are concertgoers: The Cavani Quartet, which until the end of the last school year was the quartet in residence at the Cleveland Institute of Music, a position it had held for 30 years. It includes violinists Annie Fullard and Mari Sato, violist Eric Wong and cellist Daniel Pereira. Fullard was a founding member of the group in 1984, while Sato joined in 1995. The other two are newcomers.
Joining them is poet Mwatabu Okantah for a program called Collage: Music & Poetry. It’s described as “a multi-discipline performance experience which takes the audience on an electrifying journey through spoken poetry woven in and around music … the intensely powerful convergence of two art forms which take their roots from both African and European cultures.” The ensemble and Okantah have performed the program at schools and cultural/chamber music series nationwide.
Although the concert is free, Arts Renaissance Tremont gratefully accepts freewill donations and well as non-perishable food items for the Pilgrim Food Pantry.
