Artiste: Nathan Farrington

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

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.
