Cincinnati’s Music Hall is set to open this fall after a sixteen-month restoration, and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra has announced five weeks of performances in October and November by each of the hall’s resident companies. The opening weekend of October 6-7 will feature CSO Music Director Louis Langrée leading John Adams’s Short Ride in a Fast Machine, Scriabin’s Poem of Ecstasy, a commissioned work by Jonathan Bailey Holland, and Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1, with soloist Kit Armstrong. Also planned are a free open house on October 7, including tours of the building; music by John Williams performed by the Cincinnati Pops and Conductor John Morris Russell; the final installment of the CSO’s Pelléas Trilogy, together with the Cincinnati Opera, directed by James Darrah; Cincinnati Ballet performances of Romeo and Juliet with the CSO; and the world premiere of a new choral work by Julia Adolphe, featuring the CSO and the May Festival Chorus.
