Press Release Date: April 21, 2015
57th SEASON ANNOUNCEMENT
2015 - 2016
Rocky River Chamber Music Society is pleased to announce its 57th season of
presenting high-quality professional chamber music concerts for the Northeast
Ohio community. Concerts take place at 7:30 p.m. on Monday evenings in the
outstanding acoustical environment of West Shore Unitarian Universalist Church,
20401 Hilliard Boulevard, Rocky River. All performances are open to everyone
and have no admission charge. Our concerts showcase an interesting mix of
international, national, and local talent.
The 57th season will begin on Monday, September 28, 2015 with the Aeolus
Quartet, which is the graduate resident string quartet at the Juilliard School in
New York City. Since its inception in 2008, the Aeolus Quartet has collected
prizes at nearly every major competition in the United States and has performed
across the globe. On November 16, we welcome Cuarteto Quiroga, which hails
from Spain and takes its name from the distinguished Galician violinist Manuel
Quiroga. The Quartet has a distinctive personality and is known for its bold and
original approach to the string quartet repertoire.
On February 1, 2016 we feature hometown favorite, Joshua Smith, principal flute
of The Cleveland Orchestra who will bring along his Ensemble HD (think Happy
Dog, a bar in Cleveland’s Gordon Square neighborhood). This promises to be an
unusual evening! On March 14, Christopher Costanza, cello, (from the St.
Lawrence String Quartet) will delight us with Bach Suites for solo cello as well as
Ravel’s Sonata for Violin and Cello (with violinist Peter Otto, first associate
concertmaster of The Cleveland Orchestra). The season closes on May 9 with a
recital of songs for baritone and piano (including works by Schubert) performed by
baritone Mario Diaz-Moresco and the ever-popular pianist Spencer Myer.
