Captain America once said, "Twas music that soothed the savage beast." Although he was talking about his short-lived nemesis Dr. Angry Parakeet, it's just as true for animals of the human persuasion. Soothe your savage insides with today's Groupon: for $12, you get one orchestra-level ticket to the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra’s performance of Spring 2, classic songs of Schoenberg and Gershwin, on Sunday, June 6, at 2 p.m. (a $25 value). The Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra received the Scripps-Corbett Artist Award last year.

The Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra showcases music not commonly performed by large symphony orchestras, so each show is an uncommon musical experience. During Spring 2, the delicately constructed harmonies of Arnold Schoenberg and George Gershwin (two works each) float across Corbett Auditorium and into ears to tickle auditory nerves like pixies riding tiny ponies on eardrums. Two of the four pieces were inspired by literature. Schoenberg’s Transfigured Night was inspired by a Richard Dehmel poem about a shocking confession that affects two lovers, while Gershwin's Porgy and Bess Suite is inspired by DuBose Heyward’s racially charged 1925 novel about the inhabitants of the semi-fictional Catfish Row. Schoenberg's Five Pieces for Orchestra, op. 16, is an unsettling work that balances Gershwin's famous Rhapsody in Blue, which is performed by acclaimed solo pianist Michael Chertock.

While soaking in the 738-seat hall’s stately columns and cherry-wood-doused atmosphere, Groupon-toting music enthusiasts will lounge in comfy orchestra seating that boasts impressive leg room. Additionally, a tune-up and informal discussion led by the CCO’s musical director is offered 40 minutes before the show.

Reviews

The Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra won the Scripps-Corbett Artist Award last year and received positive reviews from Music in Cincinnati and the Cincinnati Enquirer:

  • Then, in what is perhaps the most extraordinary moment of the cantata, the chorus dropped out. The instruments followed alone, with a long lamentation that thinned out gradually to a pair of violins sounding a soft, halting minor second, like a last breath. – Mary Ellyn Hutton, Music in Cincinnati
  • The conductor brought out [the music's] drama as well as its fun: the surprise finale made the audience laugh out loud. – Janelle Gelfand, Enquirer

The Groupon Guide to: Riding the Bus

"Like sands through the hourglass, so go the wheels on the bus." Today, this old adage couldn't be truer as more and more people are turning to public transportation to get around. Here are some tips on getting the most out of your next giant van ride:

  • Riding the bus, like swimming, is safer with a buddy. If you don't have a friend to ride with you, you will not be allowed on the bus.
  • You don't have to pay bus fare if you board by jumping on top of one at an overpass.
  • Prove your loyalty to the bus by mouthing profanities to passing taxis.
  • Indicate your desire to get off the bus by pulling the stop cable. If you can't find one, you can achieve the same result by hugging the driver.
  • Most bus riders are undercover police. That's why they're smelling your hair. For clues.

Bus drivers need hugs like everybody else. Especially when driving.
