HAPPENING TODAY:
Tonight at 7:30 pm, you can catch pianist Stewart Goodyear in a recital at the Cleveland Institute of Music’s Mixon Hall, playing the U.S. premiere of his Mending Wall as well as works by J.S. Bach, Clara Schumann, and Beethoven (free, but reservations required). Read a preview article by Mike Telin here.
Or you can visit the Cleveland Museum of Art’s Gartner Auditorium to hear Freedom First, the debut album from Cleveland-born poet, writer, and activist Keith LaMar (above, on-screen). LaMar will perform the album remotely from his cell at the Ohio State Penitentiary, where he has spent 30 years in solitary confinement on death row for a crime he testifies that he did not commit. He’ll be joined by Albert Marquès (piano), Chris Coles (alto sax), Zaire Darden (drums), and Jordan McBride (bass). Tickets are available here.
