About Music in Cincinnati
For the classical music lover, Cincinnati is a listening post of the first order, with musical
endowments far out of proportion to its size (metropolitan area approx.
1.3 million). They include the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra,
Cincinnati Opera, Cincinnati May Festival, Cincinnati Chamber
Orchestra, artists and ensembles of the University of Cincinnati
College-Conservatory of Music and Northern Kentucky University, Chamber
Music Cincinnati, Linton Chamber Music Series, Kentucky Symphony
Orchestra and many others. The primary purpose of
www.MusicinCincinnati.com is to try to bring that perspective to a
wider audience.
The majority of the material on this site before 2008 comes
from The Cincinnati Post, which ceased publication Dec. 31, 2007.
As for the role of critic, reporter, chronicler, archivist
and generally passionate observer of great music, the author feels total
kinship with the tiny winged one in this illustration by Amy Brown
(i.e. a pest).
