Nov. 18-19
Music Hall [Over-the-Rhine]

Dalia Stasevska, conductor
Esther Yoo, violin

The talents of CSO musicians are on full display in Bartók’s Concerto, the epitome of an orchestra showpiece. Similarly, it’s “easy to see what all the fuss is about” (The Guardian) when guest soloist Esther Yoo performs Sibelius’ Violin Concerto. Principal Conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra Dalia Stasevska leads the program, beginning with inventive music that composer Missy Mazzoli says is “in the shape of a solar system.”

Aronoff Center Fifth-Third Bank Theatre

Written by Susan Medure Decatur

A fictionalized memoir inspired by the lives of two small-town, teenage girls in the “sexy seventies.” As these close-knit cousins grapple with how to break out of their working class lives, we watch them grow into fearless females navigating the balance between career and family while remaining true to themselves and each other until fate steps in. Staged reading.

PIP_The Lion promoTHE LION
Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
Nov. 12-Dec. 4
Warsaw Federal Incline Theatre [East Price Hill]

Directed by Sean Daniels and Alex Stenhouse

His story is about courage — his music is about finding it. Straight from the London stage for an exclusive Playhouse engagement, The Lion features a singer-songwriter who shares the turbulent story of his family and his own brush with mortality. Chapters unfold through heartrending monologues and original songs, each one just as emotionally stirring as the last. Six guitars accompany the musician as he explores love, loss and the redemptive power of music. Hailed by critics as a “wondrous” and “spellbinding” experience, The Lion redefines the genre of musical theatre. THE LION is suitable for ages 12 and up. This heartrending yet uplifting story about one man’s personal journey through loss, illness and relationship challenges includes mature themes and some amazing music. We recommend you bring tissues.
