Solstice 2016

For the eighth annual Solstice, the Cleveland Museum of Art's signature summer event, guests will once again have an opportunity to enjoy “dynamic and cutting-edge music from around the world.” Museum galleries will be open late into the night too. Acts scheduled to perform include disco and electronic music pioneer Giorgio Moroder, the Mexico City-based Latin dance band Centavrvs, the Congolese rumba act L'Orchestra Afrisa International, Brazil’s Luísa Maita and London-based electronic musician Sara Abdel-Hamid (aka Ikonika). Dante Carfagna, the collector/curator behind the groundbreaking “Boddie Recording Company” box set of Cleveland singles from the '60s and '70s, returns with his crates of obscure 45s. He spun at the very first Solstice in 2009. The event takes place tonight at 8. Tickets are sold out, but you might find them through various ticket brokers. (Niesel)
