EVERY BRILLIANT THING Runs March 17-April 1

FT_Every Brilliant ThingEVERY BRILLIANT THING
Falcon Theatre
March 17-April 1
[Newport]

Directed by Tracy M. Schoster

Cast: Eileen Earnest

You’re six years old. Mom’s in the hospital. Dad says she’s “done something stupid.” She finds it hard to be happy. So you start to make a list of everything that’s brilliant about the world. Everything that’s worth living for. 1. Ice cream. 2. Kung Fu movies. 3. Burning things. 4. Laughing so hard you shoot milk out your nose. 5. Construction cranes. 6. Me. You leave it on her pillow. You know she’s read it because she’s corrected your spelling. Soon, the list will take on a life of its own. A play about depression and the lengths we will go to for those we love.

THE MERMAID On March 17-18

CSO_The MermaidTHE MERMAID
Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra
March 17-18
Music Hall [Over-the-Rhine]

Program

  • FELIX MENDELSSOHN: Die schöne Melusine (“The Fair Melusine”)
  • ERICH WOLFGANG KORNGOLD: Violin Concerto
  • ALEXANDER VON ZEMLINSKY: Die Seejungfrau (“The Mermaid”)

Artists
Kevin John Edusei, conductor
Simone Lamsma, violin

Mermaid tales inspired thrilling musical adventures from Mendelssohn and Zemlinsky. Mendelssohn’s work is brief but fiery, while Zemlinsky’s Die Seejungfrau takes us through the dramas of Hans Christian Andersen’s original Little Mermaid. Kevin John Edusei leads the CSO, and Simone Lamsma, whose playing is “absolutely stunning” (Chicago Tribune), returns to perform Korngold’s gorgeously cinematic Violin 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.
