Candidates sound off on the arts
What did you think about the arts package that ran in Sunday's A&E section, with the views of City Council candidates on the arts?
This was a joint package by the arts and entertainment staff: Jackie Demaline, Sara Pearce and myself, edited by Julie Gaw and produced online by Mandy Jenkins.
I was surprised at how few of them mentioned the Cincinnati Symphony or Music Hall, and only one claims to have a CSO subscription (Chris Bortz). There are also some funny revelations, such as that many of them claim to be good actors (surprise!) and one (Brian Garry) says that he is a "20th-century composer."
Take a look at their answers to all 12 questions that ran online only, and tell us what you think!

Post a Comment*Very good thought to ask candidates their feelings on the lively arts in Cincinnati. Many replies were like 'after thoughts' and maybe 1/3 have never been to music events, or been inside Music Hall /Aronoff, and it is a wonder that they would not think it is good to be seen there. That is what the community looks for, involvement.
Good work, all your hours were worth it. eM=M
Actually, Brian Garry DID do some composition studies with Phil Koplow at NKU, if memory serves.
(Not saying that is or is not a reason to vote for him)

Well, the thing is, this is now the 21st century...
Fair enough.
Of course, I don't know how much composing he's done since Dec. 31, 2000, so it's entirely possible he IS a 20th century composer.
Janelle, I'm sure you can appreciate this - those of us who took music history between, say, 1960 and 2002 spent a good chunk of time talking about contemporary music in terms of the "20th" century. Old habits die hard, and new editions of the Grout take 3 - 5 years to appear.
