A REVIEW OF SEASON 11: 2016-17

Auditioning for and winning a job with an ensemble like the Cleveland Orchestra is a dream come true for a classical musician. Anyone who has attended a few concerts at Severance Hall can attest why: the combination of awesome power and incredible refinement is astonishing. But symphonic music is rarely the only reason a virtuosic performer loves to play. For many, the intimacy and expressive intensity of chamber music—just a few instruments playing together in a small space without a conductor—is the utmost expression of their personal connection to music.

For eleven years, the Heights Arts Close Encounters series has provided audiences the opportunity to hear music that is never performed in symphony halls, played with passionate intensity in private homes and intimate settings where the instruments are as close as a person sitting across the dinner table.

“Since 2005, Heights Arts’ Close Encounters Chamber Music Series has found its niche in Cleveland’s vibrant chamber music scene by presenting concerts in intriguing and inviting spaces around the city.”  ClevelandClassical.com
