HAPPY HOLIDAYS WITH THE MIGHTY WURLITZER | Thu., Dec. 10 | Music Hall Ballroom

featuring acclaimed theatre organist Jelani Eddington,
Cincinnati Opera Young Artist Tyler Alessi,
and dancers from the Cincinnati Ballet Otto M. Budig Academy

CAA_Happy Holidays with the Mighty Wurlitzer logoCINCINNATI, OH – The Society for the Preservation of Music Hall (SPMH) is pleased to announce the return of Happy Holidays with the Mighty Wurlitzer to Cincinnati’s Music Hall Ballroom on Thursday, December 10 at 10:30 AM and 7:00 PM. Now in its sixth year, the popular holiday concert is regarded as one of the Tri-state’s most anticipated music events of the yuletide season.

Tickets are on sale now at www.CincinnatiArts.org, (513) 621-ARTS [2787], and the Aronoff Center or Music Hall Ticket Office. For groups of ten or more, call (513) 977-4157.

There’s nothing quite like the unique sound of the Albee Theater’s Mighty Wurlitzer − an orchestra and more all in one organ! 2001 Theater Organist of the Year, Jelani Eddington, along with Cincinnati Opera Young Artist Tyler Alessi and dancers from the Cincinnati Ballet Otto M. Budig Academy, will perform holiday favorites with all of the bells, whistles, and special effects that only an instrument as grand as the Mighty Wurlitzer can create! Relive your memories of yesterday as you create new memories of tomorrow with your friends and family!

“The Holiday Season is a wonderful time for family and friends filled with memories and music,” said Don Siekmann of The Society for the Preservation of Music Hall.  “Our annual Wurlitzer concert has become a holiday tradition, and this year the talented young dancers from Cincinnati Ballet’s Otto M. Budig Academy will perform some of the world’s most beautiful dances, accompanied by an outstanding theatre organist. Add to that the beautiful vocals of Cincinnati Opera’s Tyler Alessi singing some of your favorite yuletide songs, and you will have a memorable, musical experience that will add much warmth and joy to your holiday!”

The Mighty Wurlitzer 
The Mighty Wurlitzer was installed in the ornate Albee Theater on Fountain Square in December 1927 – one of only 2,200 theatre-organs produced at that time to accompany silent feature films.  When talkies took over in 1929, the theatre organ was mainly silenced.  The Albee organ was donated to the Emery Theater in 1969 (where it played for movies and other events) and was partially rebuilt by the Ohio Valley Organ Club. It was removed from the Emery in 1999 and put into storage.

The leadership at SPMH thought the historic Music Hall Ballroom would be an ideal location for the instrument, and in June 2007, Ronald F. Wehmeier, Inc., Pipe Organ Service in Cincinnati was contacted to completely rebuild and install the Wurlitzer. A donor foundation funded the entire project in the amount of $1.41 million.  Only a small number of Wurlitzers of this size still exist, and Cincinnati (the home of the Wurlitzer Company) is one of the few cities in the country to have an instrument of this quality.

The Wurlitzer was expanded in tonal colors and effects, from 19 ranks of pipes to 31 ranks (a rank is made up of 61 pipes, and represents orchestral sounds, such as trumpets, flutes, tubas, strings, etc.).  A full array of percussion effects is also present – xylophone, marimba, glockenspiel, chimes, and even a large Steinway grand – all playable from the giant three keyboard and pedal console, decorated in 22-karat gold leaf.  Wind for the pipes is provided by a 15 HP high pressure turbine, the electrical switching is controlled by computer, and pipes range in size from 16 feet to the size of a pencil.  In addition, the Wurlitzer is now fully computerized, so that it can be played without an organist through a digital input system.

Jelani Eddington     
Jelani Eddington is one of the most prominent and sought-after theatre-organists on the concert circuit today. During the course of his concert career, Jelani has been featured at numerous national and regional conventions of the American Theatre Organ Society, and has toured extensively throughout the world, including numerous concert appearances in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. He has also accompanied numerous silent films and appears regularly at film series. In 2007, Jelani accompanied the classic film, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, for an international organ festival in Finland on the country’s largest pipe organ.

Jelani has also produced and marketed over 30 theatre organ albums on some of the best-known and most dynamic instruments in the country. In August 2001, the American Theatre Organ Society honored Jelani’s extensive career as a concert and recording organist by naming him the 2001 Theatre Organist of the Year. Jelani retains the distinction of being the youngest-ever recipient of this prestigious honor.

Tyler Alessi, baritone
Tyler Alessi has been seen most recently at CCM Opera, where he sang the role of Don Alfonso in Mozart’s Così fan Tutte. During his time at CCM, Tyler has been a frequent participant of Opera Fusion New Works collaboration between Cincinnati Opera and CCM. As a result, he has been able to workshop new and exciting operas composed by Jack Perla, Daniel Catán, Ricky Ian Gordon, and Jake Heggie. Professionally, Tyler has sung many small and featured roles at Cincinnati Opera, most recently William Dale in Kevin Puts and Mark Campbell’s Pulitzer Prize-winning opera, Silent Night. Last summer, Tyler participated in Des Moines Metro Opera’s esteemed young artist program, where he performed the role of Bello in Puccini’s La Fanciulla del West. Equally at home in musical theatre, Tyler recently performed the role of Prince Charming and the Wolf in Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods with Cincinnati Landmark Productions.  His upcoming engagements include Count Almaviva in Kentucky Opera’s concert tour of Le Nozze di Figaro and Forester in CCM’s production of A Cunning Little Vixen.

Cincinnati Ballet Otto M. Budig Academy
Cincinnati Ballet Otto M. Budig Academy, the region’s only pre-professional ballet training program, combines superior instruction, unparalleled performance opportunities, and a strong connection to Cincinnati Ballet.  The talented young dancers from the Academy are in great demand and are performing their interpretation of highlights from the The Nutcracker throughout the Cincinnati area this holiday season.

Aronoff Center 20-Year Economic Impact: $365 Million

Cincinnati Arts Association commissions study in conjunction with 20th anniversary

CAA_Aronoff 20 logoCINCINNATI (Oct. 21, 2015) – A University of Cincinnati Economics Center study reveals the Aronoff Center for the Arts’ economic impact to be more than $365 million since it opened. The venue celebrates its 20th anniversary Wednesday, October 21.

The Cincinnati Arts Association (CAA), the not-for-profit organization that oversees the programming and management of the Aronoff and Music Hall, commissioned the economic impact study.

“As we celebrate this milestone, we are proud not only of the economic impact of the Aronoff Center, but also of its educational and cultural impact on our community,” said Steve Loftin, president and executive director of CAA. “This center has been a special place for artists, patrons, children and so many others. We look forward to creating wonderful memories for this community for years to come.”

“The Aronoff Center has had a substantial economic impact every year for 20 years,” said Jeff Rexhausen, senior research associate at the UC Economics Center. “It has also been a stimulus for downtown revitalization. Its partnership with community education and healthcare organizations has brought the arts into the lives of many people who otherwise may not have had the opportunity.”

Other key findings from the study:

  • The Aronoff has reached a collective audience total of 8.81 million people.
  • The Aronoff has hosted more than 13,000 events.
  • More than $6.53 million was spent at downtown restaurants and bars in conjunction with attending a performance during the 2013-2014 season.
    • One in six of these patrons comes from outside the Cincinnati Metropolitan Statistical Area, and patrons’ dining at restaurants, combined with other spending for parking, hotel stays and other retail purchases, produced a total of $6.71 million in visitor spending. The result of visitor spending had an economic impact of almost $13.9 million and approximately 170 jobs with total earnings of $4.15 million
  • The combined economic impact of the Aronoff and visitor spending amounts to over $34.3 million in fiscal year 2014.
  • The combination of spending by the Aronoff and non-local visitors directly produced $1.45 million in local tax revenues for the city and county in the 2014 fiscal year.

LETTERS HOME
Friday, December 4, 2015 – 7:30 PM
Aronoff Center – Jarson-Kaplan Theater  

Letters Home puts the war of Afghanistan and Iraq front and center by bringing to life actual letters written by soldiers serving in the Middle East. The production is inspired by The New York Times Op-Ed article “The Things They Wrote” and the subsequent HBO documentary Last Letters Home. Without politicizing, the play gives audiences a powerful portrait of the soldier experience in our ongoing wars. The initial production at Chicago’s Griffen Theatre Company was critically acclaimed and nominated for a Joseph Jefferson Award for “Outstanding New Play.” Letters Home reveals the humanity that lies within the war as seen through the eyes of the men and women who are still fighting and dying in those wars today. www.griffintheatre.com/letters-home
A NIGHT WITH JANIS JOPLIN
Wednesday, April 13, 2016 – 7:30 PM
Aronoff Center – Procter & Gamble Hall        

Like a comet that burns far too brightly to last, Janis Joplin exploded onto the music scene in 1967 and, almost overnight, became the queen of rock & roll. The unmistakable voice, filled with raw emotion and tinged with Southern Comfort, made her a must-see headliner from Monterey to Woodstock. Now, audiences are invited to share an evening with the woman and her influences in the new Broadway musical, A Night With Janis Joplin. Fueled by such unforgettable songs as “Me and Bobby McGee,” “Piece of My Heart,” “Mercedes Benz,” “Cry Baby,” and “Summertime,” a remarkable cast, and a Tony Award-nominated, breakout performance by Mary Bridget Davies, A Night With Janis Joplin, written and directed by Randy Johnson, is a musical journey celebrating Janis and her biggest musical influences—icons like Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Odetta, Nina Simone, and Bessie Smith – who inspired one of rock & roll’s greatest legends.  www.anightwithjanisjoplin.com

Saturday, October 17 – 4:00 PM & 8:00 PM
Sunday, October 18 – 2:00 PM & 7:00 PM
Aronoff Center – Jarson-Kaplan Theater    

The Screwtape Letters creates a topsy-turvy morally inverted universe set in an eerily stylish office in hell, where God is called the “Enemy” and the devil is referred to as “Our Father below.”  The play follows His Abysmal Sublimity Screwtape, Satan’s top psychiatrist (due to his profound understanding of human nature), and his slavish creature-demon Toadpipe, as they train an apprentice demon, Wormwood, on how to ruin the life and damn the soul of an unsuspecting human on earth.  Screwtape is played by award-winning actor, Brent Harris. The National Tour of The Screwtape Letters kicked off after a hit nine-month run at the Westside Theatre in New York City where it entertained 50,000 theatergoers.  Prior to that, The Screwtape Letters was a sold-out hit in Chicago and Washington D. C. where it ran for a combined eight months. www.screwtapeonstage.com

RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER: THE MUSICAL | Wed., Dec. 9 | Aronoff Center

RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER: THE MUSICAL
TO PERFORM AT THE ARONOFF CENTER’S PROCTER & GAMBLE HALL
ONE SHOW ONLY, DECEMBER 9 AT 6:30 PM

Rudolph Soars from Screen to Stage in Family-Friendly Adaptation
of Highest Rated Christmas Special of All Time 
Tickets on Sale Friday, August 28 at 10:00 AM

CAA_Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer logo(Cincinnati, OH – Aug 24, 2015)  – In 1964, the beloved stop-motion animated television classic, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, made its network television debut delighting audiences across the country. The longest-running and highest-rated television special comes to life, live on stage with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Musical – http://www.rudolphthemusical.com – featuring the world’s most famous reindeer and a holly jolly cast of iconic characters. Rudolph and friends, including Hermey the Elf, Yukon Cornelius, and the Abominable Snow Monster, help Santa save Christmas during a tour this holiday season.

Rudolph and friends will visit the Aronoff Center’s Procter & Gamble Hall on Wednesday, December 9 at  6:30 PM. Tickets are on sale Friday, August 28 at 10:00 AM at http://www.CincinnatiArts.org, (513) 621-ARTS (2787), and the Aronoff Center Ticket Office. Rudolph is presented in Cincinnati by 35 Concerts.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Musical is so faithful to the original show that it practically transports audience members into the television special. The songs drive the plot while familiar and nostalgic set designs, costumes, and characters are brought to stage. The cast brings new energy to the classic songs and dialogue, while puppets help showcase the charming “roughness” from the television show’s stop-motion effects.

The story tells the tale of a young Rudolph who, because of the appearance of his bright, shining nose, is ousted from the reindeer games in Christmas-town. He flees town, meets up with new friends Hermey and Yukon, and a series of funny and endearing adventures ensue including a visit to The Island of Misfit Toys. Rudolph journeys home, where a snowstorm of epic proportions is threatening Christmas. Can Rudolph save his family and friends and help Santa save the holiday?

The productions will also tie in with the #ShineBright social media campaign, which is a celebration of uniqueness that will be championed by PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center.  Workshops, lesson plans, and special performances will use the story as a platform for teaching important lessons about diversity and tolerance.
