ChamberFest Cleveland presents Season 11 “Lightness of Being” from June 14 – July 1, 2023. Join us for eleven events inspired by the novel “The Unbearable Lightness of Being” by Czech author Milan Kundera.
Love and obsession, jealousy and betrayal, drama and whirlwind romance—this program has it all! Latin jazz dances with a theatrical flair set the scene for a virtuoso fantasy on a seductive classic, and a highly charged dramatic reverie by Sibelius shimmers with dreamlike wonder. It takes two—pianists, that is—to plumb the profound depths and ecstatic heights of Schubert’s massive Fantasie, and two more—master improvisers of folk, jazz, and world music—to bring the evening to a breathtaking finish.
