Glammy Award: Most Creative Program Idea
The Kentucky Symphony Orchestra wins the Glammy for this weekend's freebie concerts, "Country vs. Disco," tonight in Boone Woods Park and Saturday in Devou Park.
Let me get this straight -- JR Cassidy is asking folks to wear either country denim or -- polyester? And, he's matching up "Boot Scootin' Boogie" with "Dancing Queen"?
OK, it sounds hokey, but you have to admit, it's original. And maestro Cassidy will probably get THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE to come out.
The Kentucky Symphony's 15-piece Studio orchestra joins with vocalists for tunes like "Redneck Woman" and a Bee-Gees medley. Free admission and parking ($5 donation suggested). Shows are 7:30 p.m. today, Boone Woods Park and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Devou Park. the show repeats at 6 p.m. Sunday at Greenbo Lake State Park (that one charges admission, $15 adult; $10 students).

(I'll have to do more of these Glammys. Got any nominations?)

Post a Comment*"One of the most important civic duties that a newspaper performs is to cover the activities of local arts groups." This comment is in today's WSJ: "Whatever Happened to Regional Critics?" by Terry Teachout. Janelle does a great job in Cincinnati but needs a blog to give substance to her writings because of space limitations in the paper. Everyone should read Terry's article and then let our local editors know what they risk doing by continuously decreasing arts coverage. drmm
