Hear inspiring and challenging stories of what it’s like to be without a home in Cleveland, intertwined with string quartet music by Beethoven, Montgomery, Still, Bartok, and Walker. Admission is free – RSVP required!
Join us at Bloom Bakery for a creative program intertwining string quartet music with the stories of people who have experienced homeless. Hear powerful music by Ludwig van Beethoven, Jessie Montgomery, J.S. Bach, William Grant Still, Bela Bartok, and George Walker while gaining insight into what it’s like to be without a home in Cleveland.
The performance will be followed by an opportunity to discuss the performance and the material presented with the musicians and a representative from the Cosgrove Center, the largest day drop-in shelter in Cleveland. Monetary donations will be invited to support the work of the Cosgrove Center and the production of future performances like this one.
We hope you will join us!
This project is supported in part by the Ohio Arts Council, which receives support from the State of Ohio and the National Endowment for the Arts, and in partnership with the Cleveland Institute of Music, Bloom Bakery, and the Cosgrove Center, a Catholic Charities organization.
Admission is free, but an RSVP is required. Email hello@renovaremusic.org by May 8 with the names of those in your party to RSVP. You are invited to bring a donation of a personal hygiene item to further the work of the Cosgrove Center (lotion, vaseline, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, etc.)
