What will you experience?
At 8:00 pm, while Red {an orchestra} performs live at the Masonic Auditorium in Cleveland, you and an audience of other avatars will be seated at either OneCleveland or the New Media Consortium campus amphitheatres. Each amphitheatre will feature three screens. The central screen will stream the live performance and the other two screens will show exciting images related to the concert.
The Concert:
That Red Guy has music orchestrated and composed by Red’s Artistic Director and Conductor, Jonathan Sheffer. Red {an orchestra} will present the world premier of Sheffer’s A Red Couch Floating in Lake Erie: A Symphony of Songs. This new work features a libretto written by Cleveland poets and poems written about Cleveland. This is a tribute to Cleveland and is based on poems published by the Poets’ and Writers’ League of Greater Cleveland. The poems include one about Helen Keller experiencing a 1913 blizzard in Cleveland, and one about the only major league baseball player ever hit and killed by a pitch – yes in Cleveland.
The other pieces include the North American premier of Jonathan Sheffer’s Romp: Concerto for Soprano Saxophone and Orchestra, featuring Anders Paulsson of Sweden, the world-leading classical soprano saxophonist. And, Six Preludes from the Well Tempered Clavier, an orchestral transcription Sheffer composed from Bach’s masterpiece, “The Well Tempered Clavier” will also be performed.
