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.

Violin phenom at the symphony this weekend
Here's a link to the review.

This review was nearly perfect, the violinist was heavenly, tone and drama breathtaking, and the crowd was up on its feet, with a roar. Even got an encore, maybe only on Saturday night.
First half, the Mahler did what Mahler fans want
and it was a lot of good music. Second half was the winner tho, and we hope there will be more young talent coming along
to tell us to come down and hear our fine orchestra too.
Crowd was young, many little violinists there and the last minute door sale was fairly good, we hope this happens again.
This was the first time I ever saw Paavo let the baton fly. It hit a cello pretty good but no one seemed to be injured badly.
Paavo shattered his baton during one of his early run throughs of the Tchaikovsky "Pathetique"--we have had a lot of those. That is why a spare is always reading in a tube welded to the first Viola desk. It was a spectacular fumble and he looked totally disoriented until the spare was in his hand.
That explains why violist Paul Frankenfeld jumped up -- he obviously had the spare nearby. I had thought he picked it up off the floor. What happened to the one that went flying?
It was still laying on the floor by the podium like a dead soldier. I didn't see anybody grab it for a souvenir from my perch in the cat-bird street.
