Summertime, and the music is elegant. Soprano Kathleen Bosl and Flautist Roberta Holliday will light up the Lakewood Public Library Auditorium on Sunday, August 3 with their musical ensemble, ELEGANCE.

According to Bosl, the music of ELEGANCE expresses the warmth of summer, conjuring images of butterflies, birds, sunshine and flowers. ELEGANCE has performed on various stages in Northeast Ohio, including the Cleveland Playhouse, Beck Center and Lorain County Community College. Their music has aired on classical radio station WCLV.

After receiving a music degree from Baldwin-Wallace College, Bosl studied and performed in Milan, Italy at La Piccola Scala and has performed with the Cleveland Opera Chorus. In addition to her work as a singer, Bosl is also a pianist and a voice and piano instructor. Both she and Roberta Holliday are college conservatory graduates.

“Music remains part of a life-time curriculum,” says Bosl of her musical training. “Unless you have a passion for this art, there is no life, no heartbeat in it.” If you wish to see a demonstration of Bosl’s passion, visit the Lakewood Public Library at 15425 Detroit Avenue on August 3 at 2 p.m. Programs are free and open to the public.
