This is the week many Cincinnatians have been waiting for – the unofficial start of summer, as the May Festival has its last spring fling in Music Hall, Taste of Cincinnati takes over downtown, and outdoor events bring people out to enjoy the warmer weather in public parks and civic spaces. So let’s get out there!
Matzke’s hand trembles as she applies mascara. There is no wild, out-of-control flailing. But there is enough movement that she has to stop in an effort to calm her hand. A moment later, we watch her pour a cup of coffee. The pour is uneventful, but as she picks up the mug, we can clearly see that the surface of the coffee is constantly rippling.
Movers & Makers asked organizations involved in the performing arts to introduce their notables to our readers, part of a regular feature highlighting people making a difference in Greater Cincinnati’s nonprofit community.
Lots of dynamic offerings this week – including AI art – as evidenced by a record eight (8!) embedded videos. This is transition time, from regular season to summer season, so expect the unexpected. But May Festival remains embedded in our culture like clockwork – 150 years and counting. Amazing.
Diverse offerings of music and art rule the week ahead, scattered across the map from Hamilton to OTR. Send February off with a bang.
At times, it’s almost too much … until I remember there are 2.26 million of you to absorb the onslaught of art being made in and around Our Fair City. Here’s what I ask: Take a risk. Explore something new. Bring a friend. Make art a verb – your verb.
Churches are full of singing this week if you are craving some great choral music. Otherwise, it’s a another delightful hodge-podge of art, film, literature, music and theater. We wish you a meaningful Holy Week, however you celebrate.
Whether Einstein said it or not, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” We at M&M are in the clear here because we expect the same thing each week — you peruse; you pick; you hopefully come back next week for more!
