What's Interesting

We are monitoring the weather, and we are proceeding with the Pride Month Brady Block Party as scheduled. Activites and food begin at 5:30 pm. The concert will begin at 7:30 pm. See you there!

 

 

Celebrate LGBTQIA+ Pride with the CSO! Come ready to serve looks and strut your stuff!

Brady Block Parties are FREE and all are welcome! They’ll include music and art activations, activities for all ages, and food trucks from local vendors.

The party is capped off with an outdoor concert by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.

Thorgy Thor, NYC-based drag performance artist and professional musician, famed worldwide from the hit show RuPaul’s Drag Race, joins the CSO, along with Cincinnati-based ensemble Queen City Cabaret and vocalist Ciara Harper. The cabaret-style program features an eclectic mix of Broadway hits, classical favorites from Mozart & Vivaldi and today’s pop (Lady G, anyone?). Join us at the ICON Festival Stage for an unforgettable night of music and fun!
