Tatiana Berman: Alms Park (pictured at Spencer Overlook)

Tatiana Berman has a slight frame and big ambitions. The Soviet-born concert violinist first took up a bow at the age of 5, and she hasn't looked back since. This fall, she launches the Constella Festival, which features 13 multi-disciplinary events highlighting the best in music and art in both Cincinnati and around the world.

Why you live in Cincinnati: My spaceship broke and I'm still looking for spare parts, help! Kidding aside, I enjoy the balance of the well-paced life and the vibrant and innovative artistic energy of the people in Cincinnati.

If Cincinnati were a tree, it would be . . .
a mix between a cherry blossom, a buckeye and a maple tree. New beginnings whilst keeping traditions but ever-changing.
