OPUS 216: Music of the Cleveland Composers Guild

Known for weaving together classical, folk, jazz, and world music traditions, OPUS 216 brings an eclectic and genre-blending approach to chamber music in Northeast Ohio. Founded in 2012 by violinist Ariel Clayton Karas, the ensemble frequently collaborates with organizations like Piano Cleveland, Cleveland Ballet, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. For this concert, OPUS 216 presents a program of original music by the Cleveland Composers Guild. The guild is among the nation’s oldest new music organizations, counting more than 200 members since its founding.
