June 26, 2026 Continental Rifts: ChamberFest Cleveland GET TICKETS at moCa Cleveland This haunting program is a fully immersive voyage of the soul, where Romantic-era fascination with the supernatural mirrors a poignant sense of grief and healing for the modern world. Schubert’s landmark “Death and the Maiden,” with its seductive storyline and kaleidoscopic variations, sets the stage. Two works by contemporary Iranian composers frame a reimagining of Syrian folk music and Fauré’s Piano Trio, a refined and lyrical work written in the twilight of his career. Filled with subtexts and hidden meanings, avant-garde composer George Crumb intended his Black Angels as a protest against the war in Vietnam, and “a kind of parable on our troubled contemporary world.” Franz Schubert String Quartet in D minor, D. 810, “Death and the Maiden” (Mvt 2) Arshia Samsaminia In Eternity Kareem Roustom Syrian Folk Songs Gabriel Fauré Piano Trio in D minor (Mvt 1) Hooshyar Khayam Maah (Moon) from “Roya” George Crumb Black Angels: Thirteen Images from the Dark Land CASH BAR open from 6:30-7:30PM and directly following the concert.

Jun 27, 2025-Jan 4, 2026 Beverly Semmes The Dresses This installation by Beverly Semmes features four monumental dresses crafted from velvet and organza. Suspended on a white wall with a pronounced architectural scale, the sensuous, floating forms evoke both intimacy and grandeur. A formal exploration of pattern, texture, and color, the exaggerated proportions—what Semmes describes as a “perfect size 6,000”—disrupt conventional scales, connecting the viewer's body with the surrounding architecture. At once whimsical and unsettling, the dresses stand in for absent bodies, inviting reflection on the people who might inhabit them and traditional ideals of femininity, identity, and beauty. Since the late 1980s, Beverly Semmes has created work that centers on the tactile and transformative power of materials. While she often works with fabric and clay, her art also includes glass, video, painting, and performance. Semmes combines references to craft, domestic life, and fine art to build a visual language that is both alluring and sharply critical. Her sculptures and installations explore ideas about gender, power, and how women are seen and represented. By playing with scale, texture, and form, she challenges traditional expectations of women’s bodies. Influenced by expressionism, minimalism, and feminist thought, Semmes creates work that is at once abstract and physical, playful and provocative. This installation was originally commissioned by The Progressive Corporation, the Mayfield Village-based corporation. Co-presented with The Progressive Corporation About the Artist ∆ Beverly Semmes. Photo: Ross Collab. Courtesy of the artist and Susan Inglett Gallery, NYC. Beverly Semmes Beverly Semmes (b. 1958) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work incorporates sculpture, painting, drawing, film, photography, and performance. These complementary elements adhere in surprising ways, probing the paradoxes and complexities of the female body and its representation. Based in New York, Semmes has been honored with many solo museum exhibitions, including presentations at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; the ICA Philadelphia; the Henry Art Gallery, University of Washington, Seattle; The Ginza Art Space, Tokyo; and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. In fall 2025, her alma mater, Tufts University, will present a major solo exhibition at the University Gallery. Recent group exhibitions include Always In Relation: 50 Years of the Gallery at Ezra and Cecile Zilkha Gallery, Wesleyan University, Middletown; The New Village: Ten Years of New York Fashion at Pratt Manhattan Gallery, NYC as well as Witch Hunt at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, and the 57th Carnegie International, at the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh. Semmes’ work can be found in the permanent collections of the Albright Knox Gallery, Buffalo, the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington D.C., the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, the Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas, the Museum voor Moderne Kunst, Arnhem, The Netherlands, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, NYC, among others. The artist is represented by Susan Inglett Gallery, NYC. Installation Images
