THE WINTER’S TALE 
By William Shakespeare

WITCH 
By Jen Silverman 
A co-production with The Carnegie and CCM 
A beguiling devil arrives in a quiet English town to bargain for the souls of its residents in exchange for their darkest wishes — unexpected passions flare, alliances are formed, and the village is forever changed. The Carnegie and the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music join forces to present this smart modern fable that explores the intricacies of temptation and resilience. Jen Silverman’s bold transformation of a Jacobean drama begs the question: would you know what to ask for if the Devil came knocking on your door?

EMILIA  
By Morgan Lloyd Malcolm 
Bridget Leak, director  
What became of Emilia Bassano, poet and contemporary of William Shakespeare? Was she his “Dark Lady” of the sonnets? What does it mean to be reduced to a footnote in a man’s story? In this bold reimagining, Emilia reaches across time to speak for women — mothers, lovers, thinkers, muses — who dare to be seen and heard on their own terms. Hilarious and heart-breaking, Emilia features an all-female cast portraying multiple Elizabethan characters.

Watch: The CCM Wind Symphony performs guest composer Viet...

November 20, 2024

The UC College-Conservatory of Music's concert series continued on November 1 with a performance by the CCM Wind Symphony presenting multiple pieces by guest composer Viet Cuong, who is one of the most inventive voices in the wind repertoire. The centerpiece of the concert was Cuong’s piece Re(new)al, a concerto for percussion quartet that celebrates the innovations of renewable energy.
