Don’t be fooled just because most of the Queen City’s school districts are starting their year this week. It’s still summer for another month. There’ll be plenty of balmy weather beckoning you to partake of some of the many activities on tap for you this week.
Summertime, and the livin’ is easy. That doesn’t mean our neighbors in the arts are taking it easy, though.
If you keep thinking, surely all the arts and cultural entertainment opportunities will have to take a summer breather, I’m afraid you’re mistaken (and, as the joke goes, don’t call me Shirley).
Manifest’s artist-in-residence, Charlie Goering, will cap his yearlong stint with a two-room solo exhibit. “Recent Works” will celebrate his achievements, learning and adoption into the broad Manifest family of artists.
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.
From sounds centuries old to debuts of new art, this weekend is chock-full of options. How full? Maybe a dart board would make your selection process simpler.
The spectrum is overflowing this week, to mix my metaphors. From the history of Jews in China to live cinema, from an operatic superstar to a masterpiece of 20th century orchestral music and the minting of a brand new art gallery, there is no excuse for sitting on your couch in the days to come. Don’t succumb! Explore!
Now that we’ve been reminded that the thermometer does register above 32, it’s time to crawl out from under our blankets and see what’s going on in the area. As it turns out, there’s quite a lot. Here are a few highlights…
Holiday music reaches its crescendo this weekend, so get out there and grab some. Plus, a certain little dance number from the Ballet returns to the new Music Hall…and so much more from which to choose…
More music and visual art on the horizon than we can even list here, plus the beginning of the holiday event onslaught. Time to exercise your ears and eyes and prepare yourself for the quickening pace ahead. See what the week ahead has in store for you.
