Lively performances offer fresh perspectives on elegies old and new in the penultimate ChamberFest Cleveland concert. 

Contemporary programming at this year's festival brings a sensitive social issue close to home, culminating in Judith Markovich's “Oh, my son…” 

An idiosyncratic outing at Chamberfest Cleveland recounts original sin in ragtime and finds redemption in a neglected wartime masterpiece.

Smart sophistication and creepy entertainment go hand-in-hand in an excursion to odd corners of the chamber repertoire.

Ludovic Morlot conducts the RSNO in a relationship that blossoms into love... eventually.

ChamberFest Cleveland’s Hungarian evening traversed works of Liszt, Eötvös, and Dohnányi, alongside Brahms’ apt Hungarian Dances.

Norrington's Schumann cycle with the RSNO begins convincingly.

The pianist performed a motley plethora of pieces that included his own recent work. Every interpretation was hand-dipped in a particular aesthetic; oftentimes to perfect taste, and oftentimes a little too much.

Ravel and Bartók shared the program with Gershwin, Brubeck, Thelonious Monk and others in this imaginative program.

Works by Haydn, Johann Strauss (as reconceived by Alban Berg) and Britten filled out this concert in the midst of the fourth season of splendid chamber concerts featuring top-notch playing by local and guest musicians.

The penultimate concert for the 2014 season featured new choreography for Tan's ritualistic work, as well as a brilliant performances of percussion works and Shostakovich's second Piano Trio.
