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.
Mozart and Mendelssohn, both undisputed masters of the light touch, perfectly illustrate the “lightness of being” in musical terms. A mesmerizing performance by the “electrifying” (New York Times) cellist Jay Campbell provides a thought-provoking introduction to a supreme achievement of the classical era, Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet, beloved for its exquisite colors and radiant virtuosity. Written when he was just 15, Mendelssohn’s Piano Sextet combines youthful vigor and ambition with a delicate filigree lightness, bringing ChamberFest Cleveland’s 11th season to a brilliant, joyous finish.
