Here are 10 ways concert:nova’s Halloween concert was unusual.

And here’s the review of Monday’s show (the second of two performances).

Don’t forget to watch the showed about Haunted Music Hall tonight, 9 p.m. on the Syfy channel.

The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra conjures its own spooky brew, “A Russian Hallows’ Eve,” Thursday and Saturday in Music Hall. Watch for my review to post on cincinnati.com/thingstodo, with a link in this space on Friday.

Note: If you’re going to the Thursday free dinner buffet — it will not be in the Ballroom. The CSO says: Due to scheduling conflicts, the Ballroom is unavailable for Thursday night dinner on October 30th. Buffet lines will be open in the foyer lobby and the balcony well. Corbett Tower will be available for seating. We thank you for your understanding and will return to the Ballroom for Thursday night dinners on January 15th, 2015.
