Gallery Concert with The Klezmer Guy Trio

Heights Arts Gallery Concerts feature performances celebrating varied genres in our main gallery on Lee Road. Showcasing the talent of our Northeast Ohio musicians and offering them paid opportunities to share their gifts with the community is a core value. Free to all, these performances begin at 7:00 p.m. and offer open seating. Come a bit early and enjoy what’s on view in our gallery, or browse art an craft from local artists in our Store.

Bert Stratton, Cleveland’s beloved “Klezmer Guy” and longtime leader of Yiddishe Cup, leads his trio—featuring pianist/vocalist Alan Douglass and soul singer Tamar Gray—for an eclectic evening of Klezmer, mid‑20th-century pop, swing, and soul, punctuated with readings from his witty cultural prose. The show, described as a playful mash-up of “matzo-meets-Motown,” promises storytelling, music, and humor, in an intimate, engaging performance.

You Make Our Events Special – A performer without an audience is like a tree that falls in the forest with no one to hear. In both cases, the essence of the experience—the sound of the falling tree or the energy of the performance—depends on the presence of witnesses.

Your Impact: When you purchase a ticket or RSVP and show up to our event, you’re not just filling a seat—your presence gives our performers the energy and excitement that fuels their performance. But without a full and engaged audience, their efforts won’t shine as brightly.

Please RSVP only if you’re certain you can attend. Of course, we know that sometimes unexpected issues might prevent you from coming. If you realize you or your guest(s) can’t make it, please let us know as soon as possible. This will allow us to give the open spot to someone else. There’s nothing more disappointing for us than turning people away because of a sold-out event only to find that we could have placed them. You get it, right? We know you do.

The Reward: Your commitment to attending means a lot to Heights Arts, even more to those who are taking the stage, and most importantly to YOU. We have no doubt you will be inspired by our featured talent. When you attend, you will even get a little extra something as a thank you from us in celebration of our 25th anniversary.

Thanks for your understanding. We’ll see you soon!
