The historic Cleveland Women’s Orchestra closes out its celebratory 90th anniversary season with a performance in Gartner Auditorium featuring mezzo-soprano Kira McGirr. The program will be conducted by Music Director, Eric Benjamin.
Founded in 1935, the orchestra continuously provides performance opportunities for women musicians, showcases talented young soloists, and performs a series of free “Gift of Music” outreach concerts for various social service agencies, schools, hospitals, retirement homes, and nursing homes. Over its many years, the orchestra has performed over 500 free outreach concerts—a record unmatched by any other orchestra in the area.
At tonight’s concert, McGirr performs repertoire spanning from Baroque to contemporary. Her solo performances have included Elgar’s Sea Pictures, Mozart’s “Requiem” and Coronation Mass, and Handel’s Messiah, among many other works. Debuting this season with Lexington Bach Festival, Heights Chamber Orchestra, Musical Theater Project, and the Cleveland Women’s Orchestra, she also returns to Cleveland Repertory Orchestra and Perrysburg Symphony Orchestra. Kira regularly sings with Cleveland Chamber Choir at Trinity Cathedral.
