Music aficionados had the chance to usher in spring a little early with the CCM Philharmonia's "Wishful Thinking" concert. The January 31 performance at Corbett Auditorium featured classic compositions aligned with the theme of spring, seeking to capture the season's essence through sound.
The University of Cincinnati showcased Schumann's "Symphony No. 1 in B-flat Major, Op. 38" affectionately known as "Spring," and Stravinsky's stirring "Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring)." Directed by Mark Gibson, the Philharmonia aimed to offer a multisensory representation of the season's vitality through these seminal works.
Tickets for the performance were available for purchase through various methods, including online, by phone, or in person at the CCM Box Office. Discounts were offered to UC students, faculty, and staff, with special rates provided for CCM students, as specified by the University's announcement.
For guests' convenience, the campus offered pre-paid parking options that could be added during the ticket-purchasing process. Effective July 1, 2023, all parking on UC's grounds went cashless, as noted in the University of Cincinnati's announcement, assuring a smooth transition for attendees arriving for the evening's cultural offering.
