A Performance and Discussion about Homelessness in Cleveland
Join us at the East Cleveland Public Library’s Greg L. Reese Performing Arts Center 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.
There is a parking lot behind the library (entrance on Debra Ann Lane), and a lot across the street (entranceon Elsinore Ave). Nearby street parking is also available.
We hope you will join us!
