Sponsored by Oberlin's TIMARA program, Subotnick's northeast Ohio visit is made possible by a collaboration with the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Cleveland.
Subotnick will give a public performance at MOCA Cleveland on Thursday, November 14, at 8 p.m. This concert is Subotnick’s only performance in the region, and will be presented in MOCA's intimate performing space.
