About The Event
Join us for a captivating night of local music as four of Northeast Ohio’s premier artists share the stage. Each artist has collaborated with composer-arranger Dan Bruce as he reimagines their works to feature them with an octet, blending intimate storytelling with innovative orchestration.
In addition, a portion of the proceeds from ticket sales and all merchandise sales from this celebration benefit the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, supporting vital programs that fight hunger in our community.
The performance includes original music by Ray Flanagan, Liz Bullock, Jinari Kemet, and Gretchen Pleuss.

Brad Wagner—soprano sax, tenor sax, and bass clarinet
