We have a strangely eclectic mix of arts and culture events this week, so let’s just get In the Mood to Take the “A” Train to Fleet Street, tangle with Tango on the Square, tour the cosmos with an ancient prince, skip to the Scottish Highlands and California redwood forests, and much more …
What a difference a week makes. The snow is a melted memory, and overeager daffodils are more than an inch tall in the front bed. If you were perfectly willing to wait winter out, you’ve succeeded. Time to get out and see what Cincinnati has to offer. Turns out it’s a lot. Read on.
Now in its second year, the festival – which runs Sept. 26-28 – moves to the Contemporary Arts Center and Memorial Hall.

Cincinnati Music Theatre stages the tale of “Sweet Charity,” while concert nova shares a musical narrative about a CSO conductor from long ago. Appalchian Festival? Creative storytelling is everywhere. Enjoy!
Important social issues take center stage at the Mercantile Library and concert nova presents an intersection of music and photography in Northside. Cincinnati World Cinema helps us to understand atrocities in the West Bank, while Opera Raps shows us there is much more to “Fiddler on the Roof” than a sunrise and a sunset. Take it all in.
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.

Ixi Chen, concertnova’s longtime co-artistic director, called Matzke’s hiring a time of “incredible excitement” for the organization.
Cincinnati is among the top cities increasing downtown foot traffic with a 28% increase from last year. This week, we have the Asian Food Fest and Jazz at the Square, plus Tunes & Blooms at the Cincinnati Zoo and other outdoor events. So get out and start trafficking those feet!
