About The Event

Third Thursdays at Transformer Station events feature a mix of live local music and conversation with artists curated and hosted by Ideastream Public Media radio personalities. Each event engages a different show host with a band, highlighting the diversity of Northeast Ohio’s music scene and bringing Ideastream’s beloved music programs to the public. These events are free, but a ticket is required. 

This evening’s program is hosted by Ideastream Public Media’s Bill O’Connell (host of Dinner Classics and producer at WCLV), who leads an in-depth interview with Cleveland-based ensemble Opus 216. While classically trained, Opus 216 remains unbound by genre, dipping into jazz, folk, Irish fiddle, original music, and creative covers of modern iconic songs. More information about Opus 216 can be found on the group’s website and on Ideastream’s Spotify playlist.

This event is being recorded for Ideastream’s Shuffle podcast—Northeast Ohio’s backstage pass to the region’s independent music scene.
