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 …
Some of us haven’t even finished slicing the last tasty bits off the Thanksgiving turkey, and already we’re full steam ahead with big Christmas-season events all around. It’s a busy, busy week for arts and culture. Take a look.
With apologies to T.S. Eliot (and to our local TV meteorologists), April is the coolest month. This week brings new cultural offerings from boogie-woogie piano to classic ballet, the daffodilian emergence of outdoor events, colossal Mahler at the CSO, a grand opening for ArtWorks, plus two landmark hippie-era rock musicals. How cool is that?
Hallelujah! There’s plenty of singing ahead in the coming week, with holiday vocal (and some instrumental) performances galore. Let’s take a look.
Do you like jazz? How about lights? There’s a lot of both this week. Not a bad thing. And Shakespeare is plentiful, if that’s your gig. The CSO performs an interesting operatic version of “Hamlet”, fully staged and designed by Paris’ famed Opéra Comique while Xavier stages “Twelfth Night.” Enjoy.
Juneteenth, the celebration of the emancipation of slaves in Texas (June 19, 1865) has taken on a life of its own and there are several occasions for you to participate over the weekend. Plus, you’ll find a plethora of other wonders to feed your soul. Peruse away…
Spring is sprung, the grass is riz, I wonder where the culture is … well, it’s sprouting up everywhere! So enjoy the warmer weather, get out there and see what Cincinnati’s arts scene has to offer this week.
It’s a pleasure to highlight the week’s most intriguing events during this holiday season. Some may seem a bit offbeat, but hey, that’s culture!
Some want turkey with all the fixins. Me? I’m just looking to get my culture fix. As we fast approach Thanksgiving, there is so much to be thankful for Cincinnati, not the least of which is a vibrant cultural scene. Happy to be filling in again for my friend Thom Mariner to tell you about events both great and small.
BLINK is seemingly everywhere this week, for sure, but other distractions may also call to you. See what’s in store…
