Good morning, Scoopers!

Slightly random slightly not, but we have heard so many times that y’all want more hobby exploration.

While looking for events this week, we came across this page that has SO many fun classes and workshops. From drone school to sewing and stained glass classes, there are a ton of options and we thought you might want to take a look!

But first…

🎶 If "symphony night" sounds like something you'd do with your grandmother, give us 30 seconds.

At the end of September, the Cincinnati Pops is turning Music Hall into an immersive gallery that brings music and visual art together. 

Conductor John Morris Russell paired orchestral pieces you have absolutely heard before (Gershwin's An American in Paris, Respighi's Pines of Rome) with full-scale projections of real artwork from the Taft Museum of Art and the Cincinnati Art Museum. 

Think Starry Night, Picasso, Klimt, and Cincinnati's own Charley Harper, blown up across Springer Auditorium and moving in time with the music. Van Gogh Experience energy, except the soundtrack is a live orchestra sitting right in front of you.

Those visuals come from Lightborne, the studio on East 14th that does BLINK installations and tour visuals for arena acts. They're a few blocks from the stage they're projecting onto.

CSO has always been so creative in the ways they bring music to the city, and they have a ton of cool shows and programs coming up this year!! More on that soon!
