I've always thought a poetry slam would be poetic justice if it took place in the Dawg Pound during a Browns game. But here comes German cellist Alban Gerhardt, whose cello case should read, "Have Bach & Cello, Will Travel."
He played Bach in the control room this morning after we challenged WCLV listeners to suggest where they'd like to see him play Bach. Our 5 winners of Cleveland Orchestra tickets suggested Tower City; Cleveland's Greyhound Station; Stinchcomb Hill's amphitheater in the Cleveland Metroparks; any or all of the three truck stops at the intersection of Hwy. 224 & I-76; and the Building A lounge at Lakeland Community College.
Gerhardt will be the soloist in Matthias Pintscher's "Reflections on Narcissus" at tomorrow night's Cleveland Orchestra concert. "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" is also on the program. You can hear my three-minute "Quick Insight" into "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" at www.wclv.com.
Gerhardt will also play among the cabbages this afternoon at 5:30 at Dave's Supermarket in Ohio City, near W. 25th and Bridge. For those of you not from Cleveland, Ohio City is the area immediately west of downtown Cleveland. Take the Detroit-Superior or Carnegie-Lorain bridges to W. 25th from downtown.
