Music

Friday, November 23, 7:30-9pm, Maynard Ave. United Methodist Church, 2350 Indianola Ave.

Instead of spending the day at the mall buying tons of stuff we don’t really need, guitarist and pianist Bill Cohen offers another option as he sings songs expressing gratitude for the things that really matter in our lives — friends, family, freedom, nature, music, art, and more.

Sunday, November 18, 3pm, First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Rd.

We are the city’s only feminist chorus, about fifty voices singing for you or for someone you know, since 1989.

Tickets are $15 and will be available at the door or from our website. Sliding scale tickets [pay what you are able] will also be available at the door. Children under 12 will be admitted for free.

Friday, May 18, 7pm, Martin Janis Community Senior Center, 600 E. 11th Ave. [at the southwest corner of the Ohio State Fairgrounds]

Growing older can be frustrating, exhilarating, aching, and liberating. But heck, it’s better than the alternative, right? So join Bill Cohen for a concert that celebrates the “joys and oys” of our boomer and senior years.

With guitar and piano, he’ll sing popular memory-filled songs from the 1940s, 50s, 60s, and 70s that illustrate different aspects of growing older and how rich our lives can still be.
