When my husband and I go to concerts or any performance, of course we look around for anyone we know. With amazing regularity, we spot a woman with a familiar head of long gray-red hair, wearing colorful glasses and a flowy dress, using a cane or maybe a rolling walker. Yep, there’s Amy, we’ve said for years, always with amused pleasure at her sheer omnipresence at the cultural events of the city.
Movers & Makers asked the major arts & culture organizations in the region to introduce their “notables” to our readers, part of a new regular feature highlighting influential people in various sectors of Greater Cincinnati’s nonprofit economy. The organizations were invited to identify their notables within three categories or identify their own category.
This week begins and ends with high notes, and plenty from which to choose in between: opera, jazz, art, cultural festivals, and even a little euchre on the side (seriously!). Stay busy, My Friends.
Even in the sojurn-sodden last weeks of July the Cincinnati scene is rockin’ and rollin’, or at least R&B-in’ and opera-singin’. And yes, there is even more to explore: art, dance, theater … read on.
In “Castor and Patience,” loosely based on the confounding, mythical tale of Castor and Pollux – twin half-brothers of different mothers – the question revolves around the topic of family legacy and inheritance.
As quiet as last week was (Independence Day in the way), this must be make-up time: Cincinnati Opera, OTR Film Festival, Art of the Piano and the new Ascent Music Series. Plus, a handful of art openings, some new theater, and much more. Get out and explore!
The coming week is chock-full of visual art, song and even some art songs, plus a parade and festival overflowing with Pride. A week-long feast for all your senses.
Summertime, and the atmosphere’s clingy… Depending on whether you like this stuff, or like to avoid it, we have options! Read on…
This week’s events tend to explore the edges, the avant-garde, things created just outside the spectrum, touching on civil rights, gender and sexual identity, the environment and the war in Ukraine. We invite you to explore, investigate, experience … or just hit up Italianfest and eat your cares away! You decide.
Finally. It has taken two years, but in July we will get to see and hear Cincinnati Opera’s world premiere production of “Fierce,” with a score by William Menefield and libretto by Sheila Williams.
