We love the flute, and here are 5 minutes of more reasons why.
Among our fave flutists: George Pope, who serves on Tuesday Musical's board, and Marina Piccinini and Sir James Galway, who have performed on our stage at E.J. Thomas Hall at the University of Akron.
It’s an instrument based on the most fundamental sign of life: breath. Listen to the best music ever written for it.

Last on our season in 2013, Cantus shares the Shaker song that's both an instruction for dancing as well as an instruction for life.
’Tis the gift to be simple, ’tis the gift to be free
’Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
’Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend we shan’t be ashamed,
To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come ’round right.
Happy Thanksgiving, newsletter subscribers! Enjoy this holiday treat from the Choral Stream, a stunning performance of "Simple Gifts," by Cantus.

Anthony McGill and Pacifica Quartet are coming in May for our Akron Concert Series. Watch for details soon about the full season that starts in February (with strict health protocols and ticket guarantees).
“I think about my history as a young Black boy playing clarinet on the South Side of Chicago and now this life in New York — how can I help the next generation of young musicians succeed, too? Maybe some kid from Queens or the Bronx, where I live, will see me or hear me play. It gives me such pride to think what they may think is impossible is actually very possible.” — Anthony McGill

Do any of your appliances play classical music?
According to this, LG washing machines use a jingle similar to the English folk tune "The Lincolnshire Poacher," which was set for voice and piano by composer Benjamin Britten.
Why does your dishwasher play you a song, and why does your washing machine play Schubert? There's more than meets the eye when it comes to jingles played by your appliances.

Now in our 132nd season, Tuesday Musical is an anchor arts organization in Akron and one of the oldest and most-respected organizations of its kind in the United States. We present the world’s best classical musicians as well as vibrant education and community engagement programs.
On stage and throughout the community, Tuesday Musical is enticing and engaging generations of music lovers by bringing the world’s best music to Northeast Ohio.
The Finest Concerts
Tuesday Musical presents three concert series, all with related Education and Community Engagement activities:
1) Tuesday Musical’s MainStage series features six concerts annually by nationally and internationally acclaimed musicians. Over the years we have presented Yo Yo Ma, Vladimir Horowitz, Imani Winds, Marilyn Horne, James Galway, Renee Fleming, Itzhak Perlman, Ann Hampton Callaway, Wynton Marsalis, Joshua Bell, and many more. Most of these concerts take place at E. J. Thomas Performing Arts Hall in Akron, and feature Concert Conversations with the musicians that help to inform and engage our audiences.
2) FUZE series concerts, three each season, engage audiences in unexpectedly delightful ways, often in smaller venues throughout the community.
3) An antidote to workplace stress, our Decompression Chamber series, launched in mid-2017, brings free chamber music concerts to employees and clients at high-pressure sites throughout the city — hospitals, financial institutions, government offices, factories, social service agencies, and more.
Engaging our Community throughout NE Ohio
In tandem with our concerts, Tuesday Musical engages people of all ages and backgrounds within and beyond the concert hall by providing an array of free Education and Community Engagement Programs. More than 5,000 students and adults benefit from these programs every year.
· Every season, Tuesday Musical’s guest artists also teach, perform and inspire during multi-day visits to K-12 schools, universities, libraries, retirement communities, workplaces and more.
· Students across Northeast Ohio can attend all Tuesday Musical concerts and education programs at no cost to them, thanks to our Student Ticket Voucher Program. Parents and chaperones may purchase reduced-priced companion seats so they can sit with their children.
· Tuesday Musical covers the cost of bus transportation for schools and groups bringing more than 20 students to any concert or engagement activity.
· Brahms Allegro, Tuesday Musical’s junior music club, encourages young musicians to develop their skills, perform for their peers, and compete in regional competitions.
· Tuesday Musical’s Annual Scholarship Competition for college and university students majoring in music performance and/or music education is widely recognized as the best in Ohio. Since starting the competition in 1955, Tuesday Musical has awarded more than 550 scholarships ranging from $500 to $2,000. In 2019, 20 students won scholarships totaling more than $25,000.
· Tuesday Musical is part of the prestigious and powerful Kennedy Center Partners in Education Program. As a result, we provide free arts education workshops to help teachers increase the artistic literacy of their students.
