CWPC reaches out to young professionals with "Beer and Beethoven"

For 26-year old Laura Bock, who serves as Cincinnati World Piano Competition’s assistant to the executive director, world-class piano is part of her everyday being. For other young professionals, though, that exposure is less pronounced.
 
To engage more YPs with the talent of young artists who are locally and even internationally renowned while promoting the mission of the CWPC to “inspire and positively impact” the local community with classical piano music, the nonprofit is hosting Beer and Beethoven at 6 p.m. Thursday, March 5 at Rhinegeist Brewery in Over-the-Rhine.
 
“I think what will be cool about the event is the juxtaposition between the environment and the auditory experience — the one being very hard and industrial and the other being somewhat light and soothing,” Bock says.
 
Featuring CWPC competitor Julan Wang, the evening will merge world-class talent with familiarity and friendship.
 
“It blends something very common — grabbing a drink after work — and pairs it with something most likely quite uncommon for the attendees — the opportunity to hear a world-class pianist perform a solo recital,” Bock says. “This type of event is beneficial because it encourages the Cincinnati YP community to engage in a cultural experience that may be somewhat unfamiliar.”
