The Cleveland Chamber Collective has re-organized with some familiar faces from the local chamber music scene (violinist Emily Cornelius, flutist Linda White, pianist Eric Charnofsky), some newbies (violist Brian Slawta, cellist Trevor Kazarian) and returning musician percussionist Dylan Moffitt.
It will perform its first concert with the new ensemble at Cleveland Heights’ Disciples Christian Church, where it will premiere Ty Alan Emerson’s Oath Breaker, which it describes a requiem-like piece that’s “a 60-minute journey of anger, grief, and hope, striving to come to grips with the events of January 6 and the subsequent fallout.” Emerson calls it an “emotional and spiritual process, like a mass or similar spiritual sequence.”
The work features the full ensemble and electronic/digital parts, as well as solos for each member and text with quotes from Shakespeare, Lincoln, Cervantes, Elizabeth I and testimony, texts and tweets referring to that day.
The Cleveland Chamber Collective will perform a second time on Sunday April 28 @ 3:30pm at Inlet Dance Theater’s studio in the Pivot Center for Art, Dance and Expression. Both concerts are free and open to all. The concert will also be recorded as well as livestreamed on the ensemble’s Facebook page.
