School has already started, and the nights are chilly, but don’t be deceived by the pumpkin-flavored menus. It’s not fall yet. There’s plenty to do during these last breaths of summer: a live Bard broadcast, creepy movies, orchestral Zappa and a jazz world premiere for starters. See what you can fit in. It’s all good.
It’s not something one expects to say in mid-August, but we hope your homes are dry and the trees near you are still standing. Assuming you’re safe and sound, there’s plenty to get out and enjoy: hot jazz, sinfully good orchestral fare and “new” Gershwin, to name a few.
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.
Costumes ready? Jack-o-lanterns lit? Creepy sound effects oozing from the boxwoods? It’s Halloween time, and even if you’re not into trick-or-treating or costume parties, there are plenty of cultural events with a Halloween twist on the calendar this week.
You can tell the sun is rising farther to the south these days, but that doesn’t mean our summer days – and all the events we pack into them – are over. Not by a long shot. Indoors and out, there’s the usual overflowing list of enlightening entertainment waiting just for you. Need help picking? Well, that’s why we get the big bucks.
If you’re one of those All Hallows Eve or Day of the Dead or Halloween people, this week’s for you. Enjoy a good ghost story, scary ballet or a Stephen King film. Maybe a requiem is your thing. Of course, there’s jazz, some “true crime” theater and the last of FotoFocus. Boo!
It’s the last of the first, Ladies and Gents. (Last Culture FIX of the first half of 2023). For those of you who are not fully consumed Swifties, here are some alternatives to the impending pop culture madness.
Seven, count ’em, art openings this weekend, including the Big 3 – CAC, CAM and Taft Museum. But there’s plenty for your ears (and even your feet) to enjoy, as well.
Music rules the week ahead, but – as usual – there is something for every taste. Take a look…
Things always re-emerge slowly coming out of the New Year’s gate. If you’ve been holed up and are needing cultural sustenance, here are a few dandy suggestions. Happy New Year!
