Debra Nagy, '00 and '02, asked me to publicize the inaugural concert in a Gallery Concert Series that she is starting this fall in Cleveland with her chamber group, Les Délices. Michael Sponseller, '97 and '00, will also be performing as part of the group.
Ensemble Les Délices inaugurates a new Gallery Concert Series at the William Busta Gallery (2731 Prospect Ave., Cleveland) on Saturday, October 10, 2009. Audience members will have the opportunity to enjoy the gallery (which will open at 7:30pm), an informal hour-long concert (starting at 8:00pm), and a reception.
As Les Délices' director Debra Nagy explains, "The kind of music we perform was originally enjoyed in 'salons' that fostered interactions between performers, composers, patrons, and artists. I'm interested in cultivating that atmosphere in the present day. The audience will be invited to come early, check out the art and get comfortable in the space. The concert itself will feel informal and inclusive, lasting about an hour. Afterward, we'll all be able to enjoy a reception where it's my hope that the interplay between the art and music will be the jumping off point for conservations. It's my hope, too, that people coming to concerts in Cleveland's gallery districts will discover and enjoy all that these reborn art neighborhoods have to offer."
Les Délices will present a total of three Gallery Concerts this year. Besides their inaugural concert on October 10, they will perform at Tregoning & Company (1300 W. 78th St inside the W. 78th St. Studios Complex) on Saturday, February 20 and on Saturday, May 22, 2010.
More information about Les Délices and tickets for all concerts in the series are available at Les Délices.
