CityMusic Cleveland, which in a normal year presents free classical music concerts in venues all around Greater Cleveland is devoting this season to “Celebrating Women’s Rights to Vote and Create” in honor of the 19th amendment, which granted women that right in 1920. A major component of that that is programming works by women composers, alongside their better-known male peers.
Their February 19-20 concerts, dubbed “Warm Regards: Musical Offerings Over Time,” take place on a YouTube livestream on Friday and live with a limited audience at the Shrine Church of St. Stanislaus in Slavic Village on Saturday. British-American 20th-century composer Rebecca Blake’s 1941 Allegro and Pastorale, performed by clarinetist Daniel Gilbert and violist Masumi Per Rostad, will be played, along with Mozart’s Kegelstatt Trio, Robert Schumann’s Fairy Tales, Op. 132, and Heitor Villa-Lobos’ Cantilena (Aria) from Backianas Brasileiras #5, with pianist Donna Lee joining Rostad and Gilbert.
Those who’d like to be in the lie audience must RSVP either at citymusiccleveland.org or 216-632-3572.
