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.

Cool new prospects for Riverbend


Did you see the story yesterday about the new, smaller (4,100-seat) pavilion going into Riverbend Music Center that the symphony is building? If you could not open the virtual tour, here's a link to the video on the symphony's Web site.

I had a little chat with Mike Smith, the guru of Riverbend who brings all the big acts to you, and he said, don't get the impression that Riverbend isn't already selling out.

"This year's ticket sales are already 5 to 9 percent ahead of last year, depending on the attraction," Mike says. "Jimmy Buffett, Dave Matthews Band, Poison, Def Leppard will continue to sell out."

What the new venue will bring, he says, is more niche programming for folks who want bluegrass, country, alternative country, hip hop... The tour industry is changing, with people like Bob Dylan and John Fogarty playing smaller venues.

Diana Krall, hey how about Michael Feinstein? I'd love to see him play out there.

Who do you want to see?
