Uhhhh, what was that falling from the sky earlier this week? Could it be that winter will actually come? Don’t panic. Just find someplace cozy to settle in with a good book, a good story, good jazz or good chamber music. Don’t know where to do that? Fortunately, I have a few suggestions. Read on.
Can we believe it this time? Is it really, finally fall? Besides crisp nights and the smell of bonfires, the most sentimental season offers plenty of opportunities to indulge ourselves in a cornucopia of culture, from our river history to new creators for the concert hall and cinema. Like a pile of leaves, let’s dive in.
If you feel a little swing in your step this week, it might be all the great jazz you can hear from our fair city’s rooftops, parks and plazas. Dance, drama and divas are on tap, too, plus some history to absorb and historic skills to appreciate. Just another full week of arts and culture in Greater Cincinnati.
The easiest way to convince a skeptic that Cincinnati punches well above its cultural weight is to pull out the Queen City’s music calendar. From stage to salon, medieval to cutting edge, and up-and-comers to longtime favorites, we’ve got it covered, thanks to an array of performance organizations that makes larger cities bristle with envy.
You can tell the sun is rising farther to the south these days, but that doesn’t mean our summer days – and all the events we pack into them – are over. Not by a long shot. Indoors and out, there’s the usual overflowing list of enlightening entertainment waiting just for you. Need help picking? Well, that’s why we get the big bucks.
“Summertime, and the livin’ is” … muggy. Do we let that stop us from a smorgasbord of arts and cultural entertainment? Of course not. Now that your ears have stopped ringing from the fireworks on the Fourth, don some light-weight clothes and head out to enjoy what summer in the city has to offer.
June is busting out all over, if by “busting out” you mean heading outdoors. Festival season is in full swing, which means great food and entertainment. If outdoors isn’t your thing, there’s the usual breadth of indoor options, from opera to experimental theater, film to impressionist art, and literature out loud to the Harlem Renaissance. Read on…
Don’t blame me. Around Casa di Consoli, we call the celestial alignment when it seems every organization in town decides to offer major events at the same time as an Every Weekend. We have one of ’em on tap this week – especially on Saturday (good grief!). Just remember: I was not in charge of scheduling.
In case you weren’t quite sure, yes, it is officially spring. Your confusion is understandable, given nighttime freeze warnings, 80-degree days and storms in between. In case you wish to wait it out indoors until things settle down, there’s plenty to choose from: Renaissance masters, rom-coms, or the latest art from both in town and across the country. Read on.
Well, faith and begorrah, it looks like we’ll have some spring at last. Combined with later sunsets, the warmup is our annual cue to get back out in the world. You’ll have no shortage of options. Whether it’s the wearin’ of the green, avant-garde chamber music, saving endangered wildlife or a Hollywood classic on stage, we’ve got you covered.
