Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra
March 24-26
Music Hall [Over-the-Rhine]

Program
ANTONÍN DVOŘÁK: Cello Concerto
RICHARD AYRES: No. 52 I. Saying Goodbye
LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN: Symphony No. 5

Artists
Anna Rakitina, conductor
Sterling Elliott, cello

Russian conductor Anna Rakitina leads works by two composers who have lived with hearing loss—Beethoven, whose hearing struggle began a decade before the premiere of his Fifth Symphony, and British composer Richard Ayres, whose No. 52 explores, in the composer’s words, “one specific subject: Ludwig van Beethoven’s hearing loss and its effect on him.” Soloist Sterling Elliott, in his CSO debut, brings “impeccable technique and musicality” to Dvořák’s Cello Concerto.

We believe that great music is for everyone, regardless of your budget. This concert is eligible for Pay What You Wish Pricing, as well as other discounts. To learn more visit Music for All.

XUT_9 to 59 TO 5 THE MUSICAL
Xavier University
March 24-26
Gallagher Student Center [Evanston]

Directed by Bethany Kerr

Cast: Tierra London Rush as Violet, Alexa Kreuzer as Doralee, Sienna Glaze as Judy, Richie Pokrywka as Hart, Anna Snyder as Roz & Owen Clark as Joe

Pushed to the boiling point, three female coworkers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying hypocrite they call their boss. While he remains “otherwise engaged,” the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Based on the seminal 1980 hit movie, and with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton, 9 to 5 is an outrageous, thought-provoking and hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the age of the Rolodex! Adult situations, content and language.

Dayton Theatre Guild
March 17-April 2
[Dayton]

Directed by Debra Kent
Produced by K.L. Storer

Cast: Jim Walker as Albert Einstein, Peggy Allen as Margaret/Lieserl & Rachel Oprea as Miss Dukas

In 1902, Albert and Mileva Einstein had a daughter. After 1904, the child was never seen or spoken of again. It is now 1942, and a reporter has come to interview Einstein about his mysterious family history, only to discover far more secrets under the surface. As the reporter questions Einstein about his theory of relativity and personal past, she develops a new, more pressing query: To be a great man, does one first need to be a good man?
