CCM Offers Expert Guidance on Monster Makeovers
Halloween is nearly here, and if any college knows how to get into the spirit, it's the University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music. After all, it wasn't long ago that CCM
opened its Studio Series with "Carrie: The Musical,"
a rock 'n' roll adaptation of Stephen King's classic horror novel "Carrie," and performed the twisted fairy tale "Into the Woods." And here's further evidence that CCM is loaded with seasonal inspiration. Kelly Yurko, associate professor of make-up and wig design, guides you through a series of
do-it-yourself monster makeovers
to give your Halloween costume star quality. Graduates of CCM's rare MFA in
Make-Up and Wig Construction and Design
program have gone on to work with national touring shows, popular TV programs and independent and commercial film companies.

The UC College-Conservatory of Music's concert series continued on November 1 with a performance by the CCM Wind Symphony presenting multiple pieces by guest composer Viet Cuong, who is one of the most inventive voices in the wind repertoire. The centerpiece of the concert was Cuong’s piece Re(new)al, a concerto for percussion quartet that celebrates the innovations of renewable energy. The four soloists use crystal glasses, a single snare drum, compressed air cans and more to evoke three sources of renewable energy: hydro, wind and solar.
