Classical Music
Janelle Gelfand on the classical music scene


Janelle's pen has taken her to Japan, China, Carnegie Hall, Europe (twice), East and West Coasts, and Florida. In fact, Janelle was the first Enquirer reporter to report from Europe via e-mail -- in 1995.

Janelle began writing for the Cincinnati Enquirer as a stringer in 1991 while writing a Ph.D. dissertation in musicology at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. She joined the Enquirer staff in 1993.

Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she graduated from Stanford University, Janelle has lived in Cincinnati for more than 30 years. In her free time, this pianist plays chamber music with her circle of musical friends in Cincinnati.

She covers the Cincinnati Symphony, May Festival and Cincinnati Opera, the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra, chamber music ensembles, and as many recitals and events at CCM and NKU as possible.

A little red streetcar

Well, maybe not red. But I remember years ago, arts patron Pat Corbett saying, why can't we get a little red streetcar to go between all the arts venues?

Now there is a real movement afoot to do that, with a light rail streetcar that would, perhaps, a three-mile loop around the city. The cost? Probably $100 million, say the promoters. But that investment, they say, will generate $2.8 BILLION in new development.

Their Web site is a bit bare, but there are some details there, if you care to take a look!

Let me know what you think! It all ties into the stories, below.

a street car is all well and good, but with that kind of pricetag!! why in the world can't we look at a simpler solution which would undoubtedly carry a much smaller price tag--like the trolley-like buses they use for sightseers in georgetown in washington.

surely even something closer to the southbank shuttle, with its handicapped-friendly, no-steps to get up mini-bus format would be a quicker, more economical way to solve the problem.

sometimes i think we get so hung up on trying to be "just perfect" in our solution that the actual problem just remains unresolved!

There has to be some entreprenurial type who sees the potential in providing this type of service and the possible corporate support it could receive. The Bounce Art Trolley or US Bank Gallery Hopper (witn onboard ATM machine) or the Skyline Shuttle seem to make sense...and could make dollars.

I think it should be called the Graeter's Express, and originate at the new Graeter's on Fountain Square...
