Linton Chamber Music and the CSO host works of Pulitzer Prize winners in an exciting week of diversity and thought. Martin Luther King Jr. takes his rightful place in Our Fair City, while Mother Nature is a contender for our attention. New perspectives on famous novels and some gypsy jazz complete your to-do list.
Lights, lights, lights, lights, lights. If you tire of all the early Christmas cheer, check out some Beethoven. Horror is in the house at the MEMO. Louis Langrée is back at the CSO. MAD Magazine flipping some pages at the CAM and plenty of shopping will round out your week.
A bevy of terrifying choices might suggest Halloween is approaching . From “Rocky Horror Show” and vampires to “Friday the 13th” and dancing clowns, the Queen City is celebrating from top to bottom. You don’t celebrate all things macabre? How about some coffee or Shostakovich? There’s the full complement of lectures, jazz and theater. Something to suit each of you.
The upcoming season includes four Friday evening concerts, part of the Ensemble’s second Friday Night Concert Season. The series begins Oct. 20.
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.

Apparently, it’s Film Week in Cincinnati. Cincinnati World Cinema, Woodward Theater and the OTR International Film Festival offer up some unique flicks. Movies not your thing? Cincinnati doesn’t disappoint with other CSO, Matinée Musicale and Mutual Dance Theatre events. How about a Manifest art opening? Yours Truly checks out “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at CCM Opera.
The region’s arts calendar is full speed ahead with compelling offerings on stage, screen and gallery. Further, while there’s not so much blatant pandering to the holiday, St. Valentine has filled his quiver with cultural opportunity, too. Whether you’re celebrating love or wishing the world would stop talking about it, we’ve got you covered.
At some point, one would think Greater Cincinnati’s cultural scene would have to take a bit of a breather, like when network television airs a week of reruns before sweeps. This week seems like a fine candidate, too, with most days struggling to climb to freezing. One would be wrong, though.

Get your tickets fast for the best theater, the biggest acts, world class jazz and unparalleled classical music; all of the creativity and mastery we have come to enjoy AND support in the Queen City.
“This concert brings two remarkable artists together in a varied program. The music ranges from the fiery baroque of Vivaldi, to the richness of Romantic German Lieder,” said Bach Ensemble Artistic Director Carlton Monroe. “Dwight and Christian’s collaboration was born out of COVID, when they created a virtual performance of the first movement of BWV 82. Now, they reunite to perform the complete work in person.”
