At the risk of repeating myself again (ha!), Cleveland is steeped in all kinds of music. I have written about the biggies. You know, concerts at Severance Hall, at Blossom, at Oberlin, etc. But, if that’s all you think we have here in the CLE, well, you are very much mistaken. If you listen very […]

The Romeros at Finney Memorial Chapel, Oberlin College
Cleveland is stupid with music. As I have written before, Severance Hall, home of the Cleveland Orchestra, is steps away from campus. Blossom is much more of a drive, but well worth it to hear the likes of Yo Yo Ma play all six Bach cello suites in one sitting. And, of course, there’s the […]
