Young artists from the Cleveland Institute of Music and CWRU’s early and baroque music programs present mixed repertoire ranging from the standard to unknown gems and the museum’s collections for a unique and intimate experience – and they often feature instruments from the museum’s keyboard collection. These early-evening, hour-long performances are a delightful after-work encounter or the start of a night out.
