Music Hall, Cincinnati

Here is a view from on stage in the Springer Auditorium at the Cincinnati Music Hall. I shot this image right after the final rehearsal for the evening performance by the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra of “Latin Nights” featuring guest conductor Kristjan Järvi, who is the brother of the orchestra’s Music Director, Paavo Järvi. The music featured a true master on the Bandoneón (South American button accordion), Carel Kraayenhof. Selections were from Ginastera, Piazzolla, and Revueltas. Go to my Music Hall page to see this and 2 more panos from the auditorium and 1 from the Foyer here.

St. Rose Catholic Church, Cincinnati

Here is one of two new panoramas that I made of St. Rose Church. The interior was recently repainted so I returned to document the new look. Be sure to visit the St. Rose page to see both panos and find links to the previous tour so that you can compare for yourself the old and the new.

St. Lawrence Catholic Church, Cincinnati

St. Lawrence Church has an impressive Gothic edifice with three steeples dominating the skyline of Price Hill. The church was dedicated in 1894. I was particularly impressed by the stained glass windows. See some detail pictures of those on the St. Lawrence page in the Prayer Places section.

All Saints Church, Walton, Kentucky

The people of All Saints Parish wanted to create a building in which the sacred is evident and that  is modest and simple yet beautiful. They hired design architect Duncan Stroik, whose firm specializes in ecclesiastical design, to help them achieve their goal. Not only did they succeed in their goal but also have proven “it is still possible to build a beautiful church in an ordinary parish with a limited budget.” See all the panoramas here.

Slightly different viewpoint featured in this pano. I think it works well in this situation though. Be sure to visit the Old St. Mary’s page in the “Prayer Places” tab at the top of the page to see a lot more detail photos from this beautiful church.

Thomas Aquinas College, California

A small Catholic college in Santa Paula, California that uses the “Great Books” curriculum. There is a  new chapel that was just nearing completion when these panos were made. It has since been finished. The college’s website has a nice photo essay explaining all about the chapel which can be seen here.
