Yoga for Lean Bodies *FREE* Loving Hands Yoga
8:00 AM - 9:00 AM
Vinyasa (flowing) yoga is a powerful component of a healthy lifestyle that aids in creating a leaner body. We move very actively through poses in this class, keeping an elevated heart rate to help burn calories. The body awareness and present-moment awareness that we learn in yoga also help us to be more conscious of what we put into our bodies, and helps us to be gentle and accepting of ourselves along our lean body journey. This is an active level class, perfect for those with previous yoga experience or those who are already fairly physically fit.

The Ohio Philharmonic presents the Grieg Piano Concerto + Ravel featuring Antonio Pompa-Baldi at the Gartner.
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
The Consulate of Italy in Detroit and the Cleveland Museum of Art are pleased to co-sponsor the Ohio Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Maestro Domenico Boyagian and Antonio Pompa-Baldi at the piano, performing the Grieg Piano Concerto in A minor. The program also includes the Ravel “Le Tombeau de Couperin” and the Grieg Holberg Suite. The concerts will take place in the Gartner Auditorium on Friday May 4th at 7:30pm, and a matinee on Saturday May 5th at 2:00pm. Tickets are available http://www.ohiophilharmonic.com/OPO/Home.html. CMA Members should enter the code “ CMA” for the member discount.
Born and raised in Foggia, Italy, Antonio Pompa-Baldi first came to the U.S. in 1999 to participate in the Cleveland International Piano Competition. He won the First Prize, and, while fulfilling all the engagements that came with it, he and his wife, Italian pianist Emanuela Friscioni, decided to make Cleveland their home.
Antonio Pompa-Baldi is a Steinway Artist. He serves as Distinguished Professor of Piano at the Cleveland Institute of Music, and gives master-classes around the world, both in conjunction with his performing engagements, and at summer festivals including Piano Fest in the Hamptons, TCU-Cliburn Institute, Southeastern Piano Festival (University of South Carolina School of Music), Paisiello Academy (Lucera, Italy), and Napolinova Academy (Naples, Italy).
Mr. Domenico Boyagian was Born and raised in Bologna, Italy. He began his music studies at the age of 6. He is quickly proving himself to be equally comfortable with both the orchestral and operatic repertory. Mr. Boyagian is also Assistant Conductor for Opera Southwest in Albuquerque, NM.
The Ohio Philharmonic received rave reviews under his baton. Concerts received important media coverage and were reviewed by a few of Cleveland’s most prestigious printed and online newspapers, magazines and blogging websites, including the Cleveland Plain Dealer and ClevelandClassical.com among others. Future engagements include concerts in the U.S. and in Europe. William Laufer is the Executive Director of the Ohio Philharmonic Orchestra.
