The Christmas season is all about family and tradition, so what a nice time for a homecoming appearance. As your usual fearless cultural tour guide, Thom Mariner, soaks up tropical sunshine this week, I’m happy to step in to help you sort through the offerings on tap this week. As you’d expect for mid-December, there’s plenty to choose from. And I mean “plenty” in the “there certainly are plenty of cookies around this time of year” sense. Here are some of the tastiest options.
Intriguing events for the week ahead to be felt, heard and seen. Read on and you’ll learn what we mean…
Try not to get overwhelmed by the choices that follow. We offer them here so at home you won’t wallow. At least, this week.
After last week’s overflowing offerings, one might think there wouldn’t be much left to tout this week. One would be wrong.
There’s a chill in the air at last, and darkness claims more of our days. That gives us extra time to enjoy evening events, of course, but, with All Hallows Eve drawing near, it encourages the things that go bump in the night to come out to play, too. Whether your taste drifts more toward the light or the dark, we unequivocally have you covered this week.
If spring has a voice, for instance, it’ll be raised in Music Hall for the next couple of weeks. There’s plenty more even than that, though, as you’ll see in a few paragraphs.
There are as many things to do this week as there are daffodils in the yard – only an even wider variety. Whether indoors or out, historic or avant-garde, tuneful or visual, it’s all here for you. Start picking your bouquet.
This week, well, it’s the usual holiday embarrassment of cultural riches, particularly if you’re in the mood for some music.
No whining about the weather this week. There will be no oppressive heat, no torrents of rain … and no excuses for you not to get out and enjoy one of the events we’re telling you all about – there’s one for almost any taste. We’ll wait just a moment while you tap to open your calendar app….
Astronomers and sticklers will tell you that summer does not officially begin until June 21. These people have apparently not experienced either Cincinnati’s arts scene or humid heat in late May and early June. To my allergy-clouded eyes, it looks like summer to me. Judge for yourself.
