About The Event

CityMusic Cleveland is a professional chamber orchestra dedicated to making music accessible through free concerts and innovative programming. Since its inception in 2004, CityMusic has built partnerships with communities across Northeast Ohio, bringing exceptional performances to longtime music lovers and first-time audience members alike. 

CityMusic is committed to representing the full diversity of the canon, showcasing well-known composers alongside newly commissioned works and overlooked historic treasures. Programs intentionally highlight pieces by BIPOC composers and women, groups historically underrepresented in music. By presenting music of diverse composers and performing contemporary works that fuse classical and popular styles, CityMusic aims to make concerts relevant and exciting for all audiences.

For today’s debut performance at the Cleveland Museum of Art, CityMusic is joined by conductor John McLaughlin Williams and featured soprano Kirsten Kunkle.

Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Suite from Much Ado About Nothing

Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate, Ko’koomfena (Our Grandmother) ***CityMusic commission / world premiere***
