Tuesday Musical of Akron celebrated Hallowe'en this year with the premiere of a new work by Cleveland-born composer Gregg Kallor, based on Edgar Allan Poe's blood-chiller "The Tell-Tale Heart." WCLV's John Simna recently presided over a roundtable of composer-pianist and the artists helping him bring this work to life, mezzo Jennifer Johnson Cano and cellist Joshua Roman.
