BlueWater Chamber Orchestra closes its 2025-26 with a program called “Rustic Reverie.”
In keeping with that theme, it opens with Farm Journal, a 1947 piece by American composer Douglas Moore. That will be followed by early 20th-century French composer Joseph Cantaloube’s Songs of the Auvergne, derived from his family’s roots in this rural section of France. That piece will feature soprano Midori Marsh, a Cleveland Heights native who has launched a promising career as an opera singer. She launched her career in the young artists program at Toronto’s Canadian Opera Company, and has since performed with several other major opera companies as well as symphonies across Canada and the U.S.
It will conclude the program with Joseph Haydn’s folk tune-inspired Symphony No. 99 in E flat, which premiered in 1794, his first use of clarinets in a symphony.
They’ll perform the program twice this weekend, one Saturday at its usual venue at the Church of the Covenant in University Circle, where it will be preceded at 6:45 by a carillon concert, and at Lake Erie College’s Morley Hall on Sunday.
