Honoring the late Felix Kraus (1930-2006), English horn player with the Cleveland Orchestra, Applause rebroadcasts a conversation between Kraus and David C. Barnett conducted in Vienna during the Orchestra’s 2003 European tour. You may not know his name, but you probably know his art: Applause takes viewers through the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s exhibit of Phillip Burke’s vivid rock and roll paintings with the Rock Hall’s Howard Kramer, director of curatorial affairs. The program rounds off with Colleen Porter, director of arts education for Playhouse Square, providing an inside look at the International Showcase of Youth—an annual convention of theatrical acts for artists, agents and managers—happening at PHS and the Westfield Insurance Studio Theater Jan. 10-13.
