PERFORMANCES

Jeremy Bible
All weekend, during open hours
East Wing Glass Box Gallery
Sound artist Jeremy Bible presents “Unveiled/Extension, ” an 18-channel sound installation extending upon Bible's 2009 installation for CMA built from recordings of the museum's construction. Thousands of meticulously designed sound elements interact across 18 small battery powered speakers to create an ever evolving immersive sonic environment.

Alarm Will Sound
Saturday 6/25
3:00pm
Atrium
Alarm Will Sound performs John Luther Adams “Ten Thousand Birds, ” based on the songs of birds that are native to, or migrate through the American Midwest. It explores the connections between nature and music, a topic that John Luther Adams has pursued over the course of his remarkable career. Adams writes: “ In this music, time is not measured. Each page in the score will be its own self-contained world that occupies its own physical space and its own time.” Alarm Will Sound performs the work in an open space setting, where performers and audience move freely around the space and each other. In that way, the piece is analogous to a walk in which you discover birds and other natural sounds. The connection between nature and music is enhanced by this unconventional, open setting because the experience would be transformative in subtle yet profound ways: as the birdsong sources become music, the open setting becomes an artistic space, blurring the lines between human creativity and natural phenomena.

SOLSTICE 2016
Sold Out
Saturday 6/25
8:00pm-1:00am
Performances by Vicky Chow, Dante Carfagna, Ikonika, Luisa Maita, L’Orchestre Afrisa International, Centavrvs, and Giorgio Moroder. Special guests include video artist Georgie Friedman, hoopers Philo Hagen & Anah Reichenbach, and new balloon artist Addi Somekh.

Alam Khan & Salar Nader
Sunday 6/26
South Terrace Stage
12:00pm–1:50pm
Sarode virtuoso Alam Khan presents early afternoon ragas with tabla master Salar Nader. Son of legendary sarode master Ali Akbar Khan, Alam Khan continues his family’s legacy of Hindustani classical music in his imaginative way of expressing the ancient ragas passed down from the courts of Emperor Akbar by Mian Tansen in the 16th century.

Miramar
Sunday 6/26
South Terrace Stage
2:15pm–3:45pm
Miramar performs beautiful boleros, the romantic ballads that originated in Cuba at the turn of the 20th century. Using a somewhat traditional instrumentation that includes piano, guitar, bass, and percussion, the group’s arrangements distill the essence of the golden age of boleros while adding touches that reveal the band’s scope and diversity.

The Cleveland Orchestra
Brett Mitchell, conductor
Sunday 6/26
South Terrace Stage
5:30pm–6:30pm
To help celebrate the museum’s centennial, the Cleveland Orchestra comes across the street to perform a free concert on the South Terrace.

  • RESPIGHI: Trittico Botticelliano
