Heights Arts presents its 15th Close Encounters series LIVE from the iconic Bop Stop in a series of three streamed concerts in January, February and April. The concerts will feature minority composers and new music alongside traditional favorites.

Imagine watching a young Beethoven’s younger days trying to “make it” as an artist, observing composer Florence Price creating her masterpieces, or being inside the mind of Fanny Mendelssohn, whose work is a voice for the voiceless decades over. Each concert will whisk you away to another life where the mind is inspired, stimulated, and enlightened.
CONCERT 3: Unfairly Neglected Masters
April 25th, 3 p.m.

Performers: UT, Austin professor Patti Wolf-piano, Tanya Ell Woolfrey-cello, Isabel Trautwein-violin, Cleveland Orchestra members. Pianist Patti Wolf travels to Cleveland from her Texas home to perform a dramatic Trio by the unduly neglected Russian romantic Anton Arensky and solo piano works by the innovative Fanny Mendelssohn, who is finally being pulled out of her famous brother Felix’s shadows.
