Cleveland’s BlueWater Chamber Orchestra is calling its upcoming concert “Bohemian Rhapsody,” a tribute to a region of the world were many Clevelanders hail from and which has produced some brilliant composers in the last several hundred years.
One of those is the Czech Leoš Janáček (1854-1928), whose music incorporated the folklore of his native region. BlueWater opens their concert with his 1887 Serenade for Strings, likely inspired by his friend and fellow Czech Antonin Dvořák’s piece of the same name. They’ll follow it with Mozart’s 1787 “Prague” Symphony No. 38 and 20th-century Russian Soviet Dmitri Kabalevsky’s 1974 Concerto No. 4 (“Prague”) featuring pianist Antonio Pompa-Baldi, the 1999 winner of the Cleveland International Piano Competition.
BlueWater’s artistic director Daniel Meyer conducts the program which takes place at the Church of the Covenant in University Circle.
