Message From The Directors

Dear friends, colleagues and supporters,

In June 2012 we had the most extraordinary opportunity to see a lifelong dream come into being. After perhaps the most intense and exhilarating year of our lives, we watched ChamberFest Cleveland burst onto the cultural landscape with a Big Bang! Indeed we are so fortunate to share all of the excitement and joy with you—our audience, supporters, and our very special artist friends. We are so grateful for your continued faith in our vision. This past year was an incredible journey, and with this new season we begin a new chapter in ChamberFest history.

We are proud to unveil our second festival season, (IT’S) ABOUT TIME. Our thematic programming will explore different elements of time as related to the musical experience. This season we hope to present both the metaphoric and literal representations of musical time while traveling through the ages for a look back to the traditional forms worked and reworked by old and modern masters alike.

Please join us for a dynamic season two, filled with even more wonder and surprise. We hope the unique sense of community we are so fortunate to experience when making chamber music will extend to each and every one of you. Thank you for making time to share with us the intimate encounter that is chamber music.

We look forward to seeing you in June!

Warmly,

Diana and Franklin Cohen
Artistic Directors
