Description

As part of this year’s festival offerings, ChamberFest Cleveland will honor Franklin Cohen, the legendary principal clarinet of the Cleveland Orchestra and co-artistic director of ChamberFest, as he concludes a stellar career with the Cleveland Orchestra spanning almost 40 years.

The 2015 ChamberFest Cleveland features two renowned Israeli artists:

In high demand internationally since becoming a prizewinner at the 1993 Naumburg Violin Competition, Berick enjoys a busy concert schedule as soloist, recitalist, chamber musician, and pedagogue, throughout North America, Europe and Israel.
