Music Director Rossen Milanov leads a world premiere and return to Carnegie Hall.
🎂 🎉 The Columbus Symphony celebrates its 75th Anniversary season at the Ohio Theatre with Davóne Tines and his work Concerto No. 2: ANTHEM. Find tickets with the link in our bio!
We are also celebrating with the world premiere of The Mysteries, a newly commissioned work by acclaimed American composer Gregory Spears. Superstar bass-baritone Davóne Tines, who is “changing what it means to be a classical singer” (Alex Ross, The New Yorker), will perform Concerto No. 2: ANTHEM, a piece he created in collaboration with composers Michael Schachter, Caroline Shaw, and Tyshawn Sorey, as well as poet Mahogany L. Browne, that examines and reimagines the national anthem and other American songs. Tchaikovsky’s powerful Fifth Symphony, with its famous “fate” motif, begins in the depths of despair, then twists and turns towards an exciting, triumphal march.
The Columbus Symphony’s world premiere of Gregory Spears’ The Mysteries is made possible by The Donald Harris Fund for New Compositions.
Music has the power to connect, inspire, and strengthen communities.
This International Music Day, we`re celebrating our musicians, staff, volunteers, donors, and patrons who help make that impact possible every day. As we celebrate today and our 75th anniversary, please consider a gift of $75 in support of the next generation of music-makers and music-enthusiasts!
