FREE SUNDAY CONCERTS

A shady garden. A blanket on the grass. Soft music playing. Or lively improv theater. Or a wailing clarinet.

On three summer Sundays, in the sculpture garden adjoining the Zaller Building at 16006 Waterloo, you can enjoy this relaxing mix of music and nature (with a little art thrown in). Free admission (but performers may pass the hat). Bring lawn chairs, blankets, children, picnics. Refreshments will be available for purchase.

In case of rain, concerts will move to the Arts Collinwood Community Center, 397 E156 St. For information, call Arts Collinwood at 216-692-9500.
