On Cleveland Ovations this week we're featuring a recent concert given by Les Délices called Games and Grounds. It blends compositions built upon the ground bass as well as musical renditions of Aesop's fables. There's also dancing, La folia, and quite a bit of fun! And at intermission, Artistic Director Debra Nagy speaks with John Mills about this program and their upcoming season.
